EXCERPT ONE

“What are you going to do about it?” I taunt.

He shoves my thighs apart with his knees. “Take you, baby. The way you like.”

The scary thing about it? He does know what I like; already. And I pray he never forgets.

EXCERPT TWO

“You’re not scaring me,” I insist. “I’m definitely a go-with-the-flow kind of woman, and I’m down for just about anything. Am I worried you’re going to wake up and realize you’ve completely destructed your whole belief system based on a few nights with me?” I shrug, pulling a piece of my hair through my fingers. “Yeah, but I’ve almost always been the type of person who believes things happen when they’re supposed to. If this is our time, then it is. If it ends? Who knows how I’ll feel, but I’ll ride this wave until it hits the shore, Boone, because that’s who I am.”

He chuckles. “Destructing a whole belief system. That’s definitely one way of putting it. Everyone has always told me; I’d know. When the right woman came along, I’d fall. Fall hard, fall fast, fall with everything in me. Am I ready to tell you I love you? No, not yet, and I don’t know when I will be. The only person I’ve ever loved is my son. I’m not sure I’ll know how to handle it for someone else,” he rolls his lips. “What I can promise you is I’ll try.” 

He’s giving me everything, whether he realizes it or not. Everything of him, that he’s able to give. I promise myself I won’t ask for more. Not for me, not for him, and what he’s willing to give will be enough. “That’s all I ask. This is a good time, until it’s more, or until it’s over.”

BLURB

I’m old enough to be her father, and a life-long confirmed bachelor, but after one night together, all that is about to change.

Boone Wilson

Instead of building my forever with a conventional family, I’ve dedicated my life to being the best father I can to the son I had way too early in life. Now that he’s grown, I’m giving all I can to my job. I make a construction site run smoothly, and can build anything with a couple pieces of wood and my imagination.

My world is small and calm. That’s how I like it. Until Alexis Monroe barrels her way into my peaceful existence and turns my world upside down.


Alexis Monroe

Since graduating college I’ve been hustling, trying to make a dent in the crippling student loan debt I’ve accumulated. Just when I think I’m about to hit major burnout, Boone Wilson walks into the bar I sling drinks at.

His swagger and quiet self-assuredness is a flame that draws me to him.

All I can do now? Try not to get burned.

Audrey

I’ve been in love with big, brooding Jared Sawyer ever since he hired me to work in his hardware store. He scowls a lot and growls more than he talks, but there’s something about him that makes me feel like I’m right where I’m supposed to be. After one explosive night in his arms, I’m even more certain we belong together. But then he never mentions the way he kissed and held me, or the naughty things he whispered in my ear.

How is it possible that what felt like forever was just a one and done?

Just when I’m sure that the only consequences of our night together are awkward silences at work, I find out Jared left me with more than a broken heart.

RELEASE BLITZ – A Very Cheeky Christmas (A The Naughty List Series Standalone) by Kat Baxter


Title: A Very Cheeky Christmas
A The Naughty List Series Standalone
Author: Kat Baxter


Genre: Steamy Romantic Comedy

Release Date: November 14, 2023


Tropes: Reverse Grumpy Sunshine/Holiday Romance He Falls First/Forced Proximity

BLURB

I’ve been voted Mr. Perfect Cheeks for the last five years. Though I do have a nice smile, it’s not those cheeks that warrant the attention. So yeah, my behind is my bread and butter. But when my most lucrative asset is injured, I’m sent to the set medic. To say I fall head over derriere in love with her is an understatement. Maxine is jaded about love though, so it’ll take all my small-town Texas charm to woo this curvy California grump that I’m in it, to win it. And by it, I mean her.

***

Eight of your favorite authors are putting the “Naughty” into “The Naughty List.”
When the cast and crew are summoned to Heart and Soul studios to film a last-minute Christmas movie The Naughty List, the mood is more bah, humbug than merry and bright.
But when the lights illuminate and the camera rolls, the action on set transforms from frosty to steamy faster than Santa can empty his sack down the chimney.
As Christmas Eve approaches, will these star-crossed lovers go their separate ways, or will they choose to stay on The Naughty List… together?
*Please note, these stories were originally released as part of the Hollywood Humbug anthology.

RELEASE BLITZ – The Treasure Hunt Hookup (Hollywood Bachelors #3) by Lila Monroe


Title: The Treasure Hunt Hookup
Series: Hollywood Bachelors #3
Author: Lila Monroe


Genre: Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Cinnamon Roll Hero/Fall Vibes
Release Date: October 30, 2023

BLURB

Join the hunt for love in this hot and hilarious rom-com with a black cat heroine, cinnamon roll hero, and all the pumpkin spice fall reading vibes! Perfect for fans of Tessa Bailey, Ali Hazelwood, and Emily Henry.


Reeve Donovan is Hollywood’s hottest, most charmingly-stubborn director… and the last man I expected to find strolling down Main Street in my sleepy Blue Ridge hometown. Especially since last time I saw him, I was wearing (half) a slutty super-spy costume, and he was facedown in an Indiana Jones outfit, searching for my… buried treasure.

With his tongue.

Ahem.

It turns out, my steamy Halloween hookup wants to find the location of my Great-Grandpa Earl’s missing gold… along with everyone else. The Fortune family’s wayward fortune is the stuff of legends, but I always figured it was just that: fiction. Until Reeve and I stumble on a clue that jump-starts our quest… and makes us unlikely partners in our hunt for the gold.

Soon, we’re swept up in a wild race for the treasure, jostling with a reality TV crew, grumpy historians, and my idiot of an ex-husband (don’t ask). I’ve been burned in love before, and have zero intention of falling for this arrogant charmer… Except Reeve has other plans.

He wants me. I want the gold. And my burning loins want… another go-around with Indy’s whip. We’re both used to getting our own way, so what happens when that way leads straight to the bedroom? And can we outwit the other treasure hunters to claim the ultimate prize?

Find out in the hot and hilarious new romance from Lila Monroe!

PERFECT STRANGERS

Serendipity’s Finest #4

Carly Phillips

Release Date: October 6

Blurb


One night. No strings.
Things just got complicated.


Between long hours in the ER and failing to please her demanding father, Dr. Alexa Collins barely has time for a life, and the strain is starting to take its toll.

On a rare night out, she can’t resist getting a little crazy on the dance floor. Or playfully crooking her finger at the sinfully hot football player watching her every move. And when a dance leads to some hot, stress-relieving sex, she’s all in with Luke Thompson. He’s just the no-risk diversion she desperately needs.

When Luke proposes they spend some time together, Alexa can’t say no. Not when he’s so determined to show her how to have fun. Alexa figures it can’t hurt to have a few days with the irresistible Luke. After all, he’ll be gone soon, and her life will return to the daily grind.

Except this perfect stranger is more than she anticipated and when it’s time to say goodbye, he’ll be taking a big piece of her heart with him.

* Perfect Strangers was originally part of the Hot Summer Nights anthology.

NEW RELEASE – Hideaway Heart (Cherry Tree Harbor #2) by Melanie Harlow

She’s a country music star trying to escape the spotlight. He’s the scorching hot bodyguard she doesn’t want on her vacation. And there’s only one bed.

Hideaway Heart by Melanie Harlow is live!!

All I wanted was a break—two weeks off from being Pixie Hart, country music sensation, and fourteen days of peace, privacy, and solitude as plain old Kelly Jo Sullivan.

But thanks to some overzealous paparazzi, my family refuses to let me go anywhere alone, and I’m stuck sharing this tiny cabin with a tall, dark, and bearded bodyguard.

And guess what? There’s only one bed.

Well, he can couch it.

Xander Buckley might be hotter than a stolen blow torch, and I get that he’s a former Navy SEAL and all, but the man gives new meaning to the words overbearing, overprotective, bossy alpha male. I can’t even post a photo on social media without him warning me it’s not safe, or take a morning jog without him following behind.

But he’s made it clear that what he says goes, and if I don’t like it, I can kiss my vacation goodbye.

Instead, I end up kissing him.

I don’t even know how it happened—one minute we were at each other’s throats, the next we were at each other’s mercy. What’s even more shocking is how good we are together. He understands my need for freedom, and I understand his need for control.

But emotional trust doesn’t come easily to me. And we’re on two completely different paths.

Without question, I’d put my life in his hands.

Just don’t ask me to give him my heart.

“Ha! Just the sight of you is nothing but a giant, tattooed reminder that I can’t call the shots in my own life.”
“I’m sorry to hear that. But for the next two weeks, you’re stuck with me.”
She took a breath and tried a different tactic. “Well, you’ll have to sleep in your car, because there’s only one bed.”

BLURB

With my brother’s life on the line, I’ll do anything to get him back—even team up with an annoyingly sexy private eye for the heist of a lifetime.

When I plan the recovery (don’t evercall it theft) of stolen items for their rightful owners, nothing matters more than the safety of my team. I trust no one outside our tight-knit circle. Because a couple years ago I lost my fiancé in a heist gone wrong. My heist. My fault.

But while undercover to take back a near-priceless manuscript, I encounter Malcolm Sharpe, an old friend of my brother’s whose diamond-blue eyes and toe-curling smile almost cause me to blow the heist. We pull it off, beating another team to the prize, but I can’t help feeling like I’ve dodged a bullet.

The other team, though, will stop at nothing to get revenge. That includes kidnapping both Malcolm and my brother—and sending only Malcolm back with a message. They demand my crew steal a medieval relic in exchange for my brother’s life.

And then there’s my brother’s plea to trust Malcolm. Trust a freelance PI whose loyalty ends with a paycheck? Not a chance. But if I’m to get my brother back alive, I need all the help I can get. Even from a man who’s hiding a secret that could turn my entire world upside down.

The San Marco Heist is the exhilarating first installment in the Reynolds Recoveries romantic suspense series, featuring charismatic heroes, smart heroines, and a thrilling heist in each novel.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I thoroughly enjoyed the San Marco Heist (I will say that I’m glad I read ‘The Phoenix Heist’ prior to this as it introduced some of the characters and I felt I understood what was going on a little better than I might have had I gone in blind to who and what Reynolds Recoveries were!)

Malcolm and Scarlett were really good together. Quick thinking, good at what the did but both hiding secrets…I did wonder at points if they’d manage to find a way to be together. This pair were scorching together but both had their own reasons not be involved in a long term relationship.

I loved the action – it’s like reading something akin to Mission Impossible given the stunts and actions this gang pull off!! It was fun – and a little WTH, they’re gonna get caught – reading about their heists!

Janet writes a horrible person well, I just didn’t expect it to be the matriarch of the family that I was gonna dislike so much! Her treatment of Scarlett was puzzling and really uncalled for and I seriously wanted our FMC to put her mother firmly in place more than a dozen times!! Time will tell (hopefully) if and why she’s as cold hearted as she comes across?

I’m now looking forward to finding out more about the rest of the ‘family’ and seeing how things go for them on both the life and action front!

4.5* and definitely a recommended read.

AUTHOR BIO

Janet Oppedisano hails from Canada’s East Coast and has lived in five provinces, from the Maritimes to the Prairies. Growing up with a Mountie for a father and marrying a Navy diver, it’s no surprise she writes romance with a hint of danger and mystery in it. Not to mention strong heroes and equally strong heroines.

When not writing, you can find her… thinking about writing. And indulging in her favourite pastimes, like baking, travelling, hiking, playing with her new puppy, and watching her hockey goalie son on the ice.

Oh, and it’s pronounced oh-ped-ih-SAH-no. Exactly the way it’s spelled. Honest!
