Blurb

A year worth of flirting comes down to this kiss…

Abel

I’ve eaten more tacos the past year than I have my entire life. It’s not because I love those little handfuls of goodness (although I do). It’s because of the woman who runs the local food truck Let’s Taco Bout It. Seeing her makes my day, and while I can’t admit my feelings, I can at least see her smile.

Until Halloween. When a man gives her attention she doesn’t want, she pretends we’re together, and lays a kiss on me that I’ll never forget.

Kara

I’ve spent the last year watching the hottie in the constantly torn and dirty jeans shyly walking up to my food truck and ordering the same thing each time. I’ve done my best to drag him out of his shell, but nothing works until a night of unwanted attention forces me to make a move.

Now? He’s hanging around even more, and when his husky voice calls me his girlfriend? I melt into a puddle, and he’s the only one who can pick me up and put me back together again.

Excerpt

I’m slightly nervous as I follow him into his kitchen. I gasp when I get a good look. His kitchen is my dream. Stainless steel appliances, cabinets painted a dark gray that almost pulls blue in the darkness coming through the back windows. White marble countertops are spotless and inviting. Contemporary lighting provides enough where it’s needed, and softens where it isn’t. “You have a pot filler,” I gasp with jealousy.

He laughs. “I do. When Dad and I were designing this place, he said I’d appreciate it if I were ever going to make dinner often. Since I do, I use it all the time.”

“You make dinner a lot?” I’m learning so much about him tonight.

“When I decided to buy this place and gut it, I didn’t have a ton of money. Still repaying college loans too,” he shrugs. “So while I do go out with my friends to the bar, I don’t spend a ton as I’m paying down stuff. Dad helped me more than he should’ve, but he wasn’t able to take care of everything. The amount of free labor and construction work he gave me for this place was well into the hundreds of thousands. My friends helped too, which is why they hang out here all the time when we aren’t working or at Monroe’s.”

The scent of whatever we’re going to eat permeates the room. “What else are you going to surprise me with tonight?” I tilt my head to the side.

“Hopefully everything you never imagined I would be.”

Our eyes meet, and I get lost in the green depths of his. I’ve seen them in many different situations and they tend to change colors depending on what’s happening. It runs the gamut from very light to dark, like the luscious floor of the rainforest. “I don’t really know you at all do I?” My voice is quiet as I observe him. “Does anyone really know you?”

He scratches the back of his neck, ducking his head down. “There are very few people who do, and I prefer it that way.”

“Why? You always seem so open with everyone.” I’m beginning to realize many of us have secrets.

“It’s complicated.”

I walk over to him, and grab his hand in mine. “We’re all complicated, but can I put it out there I would love to get to know your complications.” I’m never this forward, but there’s something about him standing in this amazing kitchen, telling me little snippets that make him the person he is. I’m taking them all and putting them in my pocket – pieces to the puzzle that make up this man.

He runs a palm over his stubble. “You’re probably just about the only person I’d let do that.”

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I LOVED Abel & Kara…. The Broken Falls series is fast becoming one of my favourites from Laramie!

Admittedly, there were a couple of times I wanted to give Abel a damned shake…. His self doubt and need to think about things to the nth degree before taking a chance and starting something with Kara did drive me a tad crazy! As a kid growing up with pretty much kids for parents mustn’t have been easy and I got that he worried about making mistakes and doing the wrong thing BUT his dad was a good example of growing up and changing for the better – Boone in all honesty did an awesome job with Abel who turned out to be a really great young man, ensuring that Abel had a great role model and a helluva supporter in his corner.

I really liked Kara. She was determined to bring her dream to life – even without the support that should have come automatically from her folks. She worked hard, believed in herself and was starting to see success.
I think what I liked most about her was HER belief in Abel.
She cared about him, could see the kind of person he was and knew that they were perfect for each other (spoiler… she was right!!)

I would have liked to see the interaction and kiss that kick-started their potential relationship but it didn’t kill the read for me that the story started a little later…. or that Abel took so long to get his head on straight and ask the gal in a date!!

Once Abel and Kara got together their relationship flourished.
It was great seeing them grow, leaning on each other when things got tough and bringing out the best in the other – they were friends and confidantes as well as lovers.. Abel was one of Kara’s biggest supporters when it came to her working towards her dream and she was there for Abel when things with family were difficult.

As ever, I love catching up with other characters from previous books and it was fab seeing how Boone & Alexis were doing.

I cannot wait to read Jasper’s book – that little tease we got in Abel has me intrigued!!!!

COVER REVEAL – Learn Your Lesson: A Single Dad Hockey Romance (Kings of the Ice #3) by Kandi Steiner

Mar 15

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Kandi Steiner has revealed the gorgeous covers for Learn Your Lesson!

Releasing: April 19, 2024

Model Cover Design: Kandi Steiner

Photographer: Ren Saliba

Discreet Cover Design: Staci Hart, Quirkybird Designs

My mother only wanted me to learn one lesson growing up…

Men are trash.

Her father left her, and then my father left us. Being raised by her and my grandmother, I was surrounded by the reminder to be independent and guard my heart.

After my one and only experience with a boy in college fell flatter than a pancake, I realized they were right — and I was content to live the life of a twenty-six-year-old cat lady.

Until Will Perry blew my quiet world to smithereens.

Starting goalie for the Tampa Bay Ospreys and the kind of hot that scrambles your brain, all I was ever supposed to be to him was his daughter’s kindergarten teacher. Then, in a twist of events, his temporary nanny.

But temporary turns to permanent, and when I move into his pool house, everything changes.

He’s impossibly grumpy and focused on only two things: hockey, and taking care of his daughter. I’m only focused on using this new income to pay back my student loans.

But in that house, I feel his heated gaze beneath that permanent scowl, the way it lingers and warms my skin. And though I know my mother would lose her mind if she knew, my dreams have become midnight fantasies about my long-haired, muscle-lined mystery of a boss.

When the tension becomes too much, we break, and we make a deal.

He still needs a nanny. I still need a paycheck and for my matriarchy to not disown me. But Will agrees to teach me everything I’ve always wanted to learn, and I’m all too eager to be his student.

I can do this. I’m a grown woman. I can explore my sexuality with the hottest goalie on earth and still remain one-hundred percent professional. And I can definitely do it all without catching feelings.

I have to.

Otherwise, I’ll end up heartbroken in my mother’s arms while she shakes her head and asks me if I’ll ever learn my lesson.

TROPES:

Pro Hockey Romance

Single Dad/Nanny

Forced Proximity

Spicy Lessons

Grumpy Sunshine

Age Gap

Opposites Attract

Found Family

Learn Your Lesson is book three in the Kings of the Ice series: a series of interconnected standalones following a team of professional hockey players and the women who bring them to their knees.

No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you’re a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she’s your gal.

An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women’s Studies.

Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her “freedom of press.”

She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.

When Kandi isn’t writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, planning her next adventure, or pole dancing (yes, you read that right). She enjoys live music, traveling, hiking, yoga, playing with her fur babies and soaking up the sweetness of life.

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Title: Stone & Shadow
Series: The Fire & Shadow Series #1
Author: Melissa Toppen

Genre: Fantasy Romance
Release Date: March 15, 2024

BLURB

The hybrid:
Athena Elliot has always believed she was different- that something moreexisted beneath her frail, human form than just blood and bone. A whisper of power that she could never quite place but could always feel, simmering just beneath the surface.
When she’s taken prisoner- held captive inside a realm she believed to be nothing more than myth- she learns it goes far beyond what she ever imagined possible.
A hybrid. Part human, part wielder- more powerful than both- the only living one of her kind.
But if Thena has any hope of surviving in a world where everyone wants to either steal her power or see her dead, she’s going to have to master a magic she never could have dreamt of possessing.

The shadow prince:
A powerful wielder- a magical creature long since lost to the human world- Haytham’s realm is dying- poisoned by an unknown source that’s draining the land, and the people, of their magic. While many are quick to place blame on what they view as an impure bloodline, Haytham believes that the hybrid is not the cause, but the very cure they’ve been searching for.
Determined to protect Thena at all cost, Haytham will stop at nothing to ensure her safety, including betraying his own father- who would love nothing more than to put an end to the hybrid bloodline for good.

The stakes:
In a realm divided by factions of power all vying for control, it’s hard to know who you can trust. And when true intentions are revealed, Thena stands to lose a lot more than just her heart.

Age Gap, Woman in STEM, Opposites Attract
Release Date: March 14, 2024

BLURB

A marriage proposal from a deliciously handsome and wickedly charming prince sounds like a fairytale.

But for a nerdy scientist with severe social anxiety, it’s a horror story.

Prince Torin O’Grady, with his mischievous blue eyes and cocky grin, is always in the spotlight. And he needs to marry me to inherit the crown.

But we have nothing in common. He’s a future king. And I’m perfectly happy slogging through mud in my work boots.

So why can’t I stop thinking about him?

Maybe because he won’t stop texting me. And sending me gifts. And making me feel like everything I find awkward and weird about myself is special and amazing.

And there’s also that little detail of him offering me my dream job and telling me that together we can change the world.

Well, I could probably 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 for him.

And if I have to marry him temporarilyto get what we both want, then fine. It’s for the greater good.

It has nothing to do with the way he kisses me. Or that dirty mouth. Or the royal treatment he gives me in the bedroom.

Fine. Maybe it does. Still, it’s only a year. Then I can turn in my tiara and come back to my normal, boring, behind-the-scenes life.

But Torin is determined to turn me from reluctantly royal to royally his.

One night was all it was supposed to be…so why is he sitting in my office right now?

Agreeing to do the floral arrangements for a high profile wedding has opened the doors wide open for Whoopsie Daisy. My friends and I have more than we can handle, and hiring people to help is at the top of our list.

What I didn’t expect is for a job to be given to my one night stand, who happens to be younger than me. I knew he wanted to go out again, but I didn’t think he’d apply for a job at my flower shop. Though, I don’t remember telling him where I worked.

I can handle this. We’re both adults. Working together won’t be a problem. Too bad fighting my attraction to Xander is turning out to be the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

Excerpt:

Grabbing the fresh margarita, I take a drink. The sides of the glass are wet from the condensation, and I pick up the small napkin to wipe it off. The chair Eric vacated a few minutes ago moves. I swear he thinks he has to take care of everyone. “Eric, I wasn’t play—”

My eyes move from the glass in my hand to the person who isn’t Eric sitting in the chair. What the hell? This is so random. Who comes and just plops themselves into a seat at a stranger’s table? Well, I guess I can’t really fault them. I’ve done the same thing on numerous occasions. And it was usually some guy I ended up going home with. It’s just weird having the same thing happen to me. This is new.

“Um, who are you?” Hopefully that wasn’t rude, but like who is this guy.

“Xander.” He holds his hand out. His dark brown eyes twinkle in the dim lighting as he smirks. “You looked lonely.”

Oh. My. God. “Does that pickup line usually work?” I grasp his hand and shake it lightly before pulling back.

He shrugs and leans back in his chair. “Sometimes. I mean, it’s got about an eighty percent chance of it, anyway.”

At least he’s being honest. Not many people would be, especially when they are trying to pick someone up from the bar. “Let me guess, you were standing over there, and you saw me sitting alone minding my own business. You decided to come over and really thought those words were the ones that would endear me to you.”

That may have been a tad bit bitchy, but it’s really hard to be in the mood to play games. As much as I try to shake off the worries I have about the shop, it’s just not working.

“Actually,” he leans forward, elbows on the table, “I noticed you when you walked in. I was going to come over sooner, but then that guy sat down,” he pauses to take a sip of his beer. “For a second, I thought he was your boyfriend or something. Then I saw him walk behind the bar and tell one of the waiters to bring you a drink. After that, I spent a few moments talking myself into coming over here.”

“How does him going behind the bar equate to him not being my boyfriend? For all you know he is.” I’m interested in what he has to say about this revelation.

He studies the margarita in my hand for a few seconds, and glances toward the bar. No doubt to the guy in question. “Well, mostly because he watches you like an overprotective brother, and he’s staring at me like he wants to break my jaw. If he was your boyfriend, I probably wouldn’t be in this fine establishment much longer.”

“Oh.” It’s so weird being on this side of the conversation. It’s usually me approaching men. Confidence isn’t something I’ve ever had a problem with. But this…it’s knocking me back a few steps. I have no idea what to do from here. At this point I’ve usually talked them into buying me a drink before we head off to be alone.

“Am I right?”

“Well, you’re not wrong.” Seriously, Kate, pull yourself together. I take a long pull from my drink. It feels like half of the drink is gone when I’m done. It takes everything in me not to throw my hands to my head from the rush of the drink. Something else that isn’t typical of something I do. Slamming drinks ended in my early twenties.

“Want to dance?” He scoots the chair back and stands. His hand held out to me, waiting for me to take the leap.

Blurb:

He’s as cold as the void of space…
Soulless warrior Drex has been cast out of the Detyen Legion. Eking out an emotionless life on the edge of the galaxy, he knows his days are numbered. There’s no future for a man who’s already sacrificed everything. Then he rescues Pippa and his whole world is set ablaze.

She can fix any machine, but can she fix him?
Pippa knows all the secrets to the machines that keep Nebula Outpost floating in space, but Drex isn’t so easy to figure out. But the more time she spends with him, the more she’s eager to know. When tragedy strikes, Pippa and Drex are the only people who can solve the case.

Every clue only leads to more questions, and even more danger. But Pippa can’t walk away from the mystery… or from Drex. He might call himself soulless, but she sees the heat in his eyes. The only question is: will the conflagration burn them to cinders or ignite a bond that lasts a lifetime?
