The instant connection that sparked in Booker continues in a way that no one expected…
This is the third time my life has fallen apart.
What I had pretended to be in the past is now banging on the door of my present.
After living so many different lives, each one is a more faded version of myself. Who am I now? Who do I want to be?
Does Sam feel my body desperately reaching for his?
I don’t know who I am if I don’t mean anything to Kat.
After Kat dropped a bomb on my life, I’m filling my time with parties and fake shit. I need something else to keep me going. Something that won’t make me think about her.
I’m somehow still tied to her. Like our connection is too tightly knotted to be unwound.
I will always, always crawl back to her. Wherever she is.
One accident. One sizzling connection. A million reasons why this shouldn’t work.
Quiet and simple is how I like my life. Until Sam Booker—snowboarder, charmer, heartbreaker—crashes into my world and changes everything. I’m supposed to help him heal, but he’s not the only one that’s hurting.
He insists we’re destined. But are his feelings real?
Kat Peters is mine.
I want to show her the world, push her boundaries, but she won’t leave her life on the bunny hill in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
I may have woken up a different man, but I need to prove to her, to everyone, that I am the man that was made for her.

Amara
Tyler Collins has always been the object of my affection. He just doesn’t know it. I’ve spent years admiring him, fantasizing about him, but never once making a move. That is until I see him across the room, already a few beers in and drunkenly decide to press my lips to his. One minute I’m sharing a drink with a friend, and the next, I’m Kissing My Crush.
Now I’m trapped at a beautiful resort with the man I so desperately want to avoid, to celebrate the nuptials of our dear friends.
I can feel his eyes on me. He’s watching. Waiting for what I’m not sure. The fear of rejection is too strong for me to mention the kiss. That night is on constant replay in my mind. I often wonder how he would react if I could confess that to me, our kiss was not a drunken mistake.
Tyler
Quiet, sweet Amara, the one woman I never expected to crave and the one I can’t seem to shake. One unexpected kiss, and now all I can think about is her lips pressed to mine.
I’ve managed to avoid attachments, keeping things casual and enjoying one day at a time. Yet, a timid blonde marches across a hazy bar and grabs hold of my hair, giving me the kiss that changes it all. Changes me.
She wants to pretend it never happened, but I never was much for playing games. She might want me to believe the kiss was forgettable, but we both know better. Hands down the hottest kiss of my life.
That moment with her wasn’t nothing. It was everything. It was the turning point and the start of something I know without a doubt will be more than we both ever could have expected.
C.A. Harms is a new to me author, that said, I really enjoyed reading Kissing My Crush.
Tyler & Amara are part of the same group of friends and had known each other for years. Amara has had a crush for a quite a while on Tyler while he’s been oblivious; add in that he has been avoiding serious relationships for his adult life so far, it’s no wonder Amara can’t see a future with her crush.
How Tyler found out Amaya liked him was funny, ok, Amara found it embarrassing and that steered her reactions to Tyler for some of the story. Her revelation definitely gave him some good for thought and he took a look at how others saw him.
This pair worked so well together because they had that history, knew and genuinely liked each other. It wasn’t a difficult step from friends to more – or wouldn’t be if Tyler could get Amara to open up and see him as more than his reputation painted.
Looking forward to more in this series… Given that each book is by a different author the story arc flows well and the books have all been entertaining.
C.A. Harms is an avid romance and mystery reader. She’s always had a love for books, getting lost in writing and storytelling even as a young girl. She enjoys happy endings and HEA love stories.
She lives in Illinois and enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. She holds an addiction for Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha’s and KitKat when she should really be focusing on water and maybe a fruit or two to make herself feel less guilty, but that feeling quickly passes…thankfully.
She is easy going, fun, and although she may seem like one of the quiet ones at first, you just wait until she gets to know you better…that quietness changes, fast.
You don’t fall for the Coach’s daughter… until you do.
Huck by Lulu Moore is now live!
You don’t date the Coach’s daughter. It’s the first thing you learn in Hockey 101. Except whoever made that rule had never met Nora Campbell. She came into my life like the blondest ray of sunshine, and I thought all my dreams had come true. Then I found out who she was. For two excruciating years I’ve crushed on her from afar, keeping my distance while she’s been working her magic rehabbing my injured teammates. For two years I’ve been concentrating on my game; honing my skills, my speed and my strength to become the best defenseman in the league. It all pays off the day I’m made Captain. Unfortunately for me, it’s the same day an injury forces me to seek help from the one person who definitely shouldn’t be putting their hands on me, and the only person I want. The more time we spend together, the harder it becomes to resist her. And the harder it becomes to remember the one rule I’m supposed to follow above all else. Because it’s the one rule that was made to be broken.

Like today, for example. I’m in actual hell at my sister’s over-the-top reality TV wedding and up until now, I’ve been able to handle it all. The horrible bridesmaids. My relentless mother. Even the awful eighties fashion to fit the retro theme. But when my sister nonchalantly mentioned that she never even wanted me at the wedding—the producers insisted—ouch doesn’t fully express how much it hurts.
So for the first time I don’t think. I just do. And as a shy paleontologist who plans everything, I probably should have taken a moment.
But here we are.
I’ve just asked the best man, who my sister absolutely loathes and who can’t stand her right back, if he’s up for a little naked revenge with me. The cameras are filming every horrifying second, and the whispers have begun. (Did I mention that the music happened to stop just as I asked him?)
But then his mouth quirks up, and he does the last thing I expect.
