Irresistibly Perfect is out now! It's a rockstar romance, which I don't regularly read, but when I say it's good just believe me. J. Saman is definitely one of my favorites contemporary romance writers, and it's for good reason. She's a fantastic storyteller, and the way she weaves drama and sexiness together is spot on. 






Irresistibly Perfect by J. Saman is now live! 


From USA Today bestselling author J. Saman comes a steamy brother's best friend, friends-to-lovers, forced proximity romance about a hot rock star and the irresistible woman he's always wanted but could never have.


When I was fourteen, I fell in love with the girl next door.


My best friend’s sister was off-limits to me in every way.


I was the bad boy, and she was the good girl. I was the kid with big rock star dreams, and she was the princess with her entire life planned out for her.


We were impossible from the start. Even when she’d randomly show up at my concerts and we’d spend a night or two lost in each other it would always end in goodbye.


Years later she’s back in our city.


Only now, she’s engaged to the last guy I’d ever want to see her with. So I do something crazy. I never expect to hear from her again until one night she takes me by surprise.


A drunken phone call and suddenly I’m racing through the airport to catch her plane before she takes off for Europe.


Now I’ve got one week to change both our lives.


My plan? Make her fall in love with me as we get lost in Italy and France. Her plan? Discover the woman she wants to be instead of the perfect one she’s always had to be.


I’d love to tell you that from here on out it’s all love and sex, but nothing has ever been easy for us, and this is no exception.


Fallon Lark has always been mine. Now I just have to prove it to her…

SEEKING AN EX-HUSBAND

I need a fake ex-husband. 

Let me explain … 

I may have let it slip to my new co-workers that I have an ex-husband. Now they’re fascinated with the details, specifically with him.

Why wouldn’t they be? He’s gorgeous, has exceptional skills in the bedroom, and is determined to win me back.

But there’s a problem. He doesn’t exist.

The bigger problem? I have to produce him to save my job.

This is where you come in.

I'm seeking someone to play a smitten ex-husband for two weeks. You’ll need to remember our love story—details matter when it comes to romance! Please be prepared to travel in-state at a moment’s notice. We may be in close proximity and sharing a bed may be required.

One more thing—kisses are required for optics as necessary.

If this sounds interesting or, at the very least, entertaining, let me know.

Signed,

Your Future Ex-Wife

***

Buckle up for a steamy adventure between friends-turned-lovers in this new “fresh twist on a favorite trope!” take on fake dating, close proximity, and romance in the workplace from USA Today Bestselling author Adriana Locke.

I've never read a Maggie Rawdon book before this one, but when I saw the blurb, I knew I needed to sign up for it right away. I love, love, LOVE a well-done college sports romance, and I'm so happy I got the chance to read this one. Now I need to go back and read the first book in the series. Check out my review of Delay of Game here

DELAY OF GAME

Maggie Rawdon

Release Date: December 15


Blurb:

She wants lessons to end her wallflower era, but the only thing I want to teach her is how to be mine.

Olivia is my best friend and the one person who was there for me when I wanted to quit football freshman year.

We’re just friends. A fact I have to remind myself of every time I see another guy flirt with her.

She thinks I’m a nice guy. A good friend. Her grumpy protective “bestie”.

But what I really want? It would make her blush. 

So, when she tells me she’s tired of blending into the background and asks me to tutor her, I can’t say no. 

Even though I should, because my past means she’s the last person on earth I should touch. 

And with everything on the line right now—championships, the draft and our final year—I need her more than ever. 

So, when it all catches up with me in the worst possible way, I have to face an impossible choice—or risk dragging her down with me.

And this game is one I can't afford to lose.

The Deal Dilemma is finally out, and Crew is everything! He's seriously my new favorite book boyfriend. Check out my full review here

THE DEAL DILEMMA

Meagan Brandy

Release Date: September 23


Ever wonder what would happen if you bribed your brother's ex-best friend to pop your cherry?

Yeah, me neither, but I did it anyway. Now the moody man is madder than ever, but I came prepared to strike a deal. 

One he can't refuse...

Crew Taylor is the picture of perfection, if gruff, grumpy, and prone to throw a punch is your type. Clearly, it’s mine or I wouldn’t be begging him to bite the bullet and claim my virginity as his own. 

Sure, he’s a bit of a caveman, broody and bossy and oh so naughty, but that’s sort of the point. 

He’s experienced, his heated hazel eyes promising sinful skills in seduction, and I want him to teach me all he knows. 

Lesson by lesson. 

Night after night. 

The problem? 

He says he won’t allow me in his bed … but I wonder what it would take to get him to play in mine a bit?

Shelby

I got a love letter the night before I was supposed to marry the love of my life.

Except the letter wasn't for me.

My future husband had written it to someone else.

Weston (Ace)

Standing at the altar to watch my best friend get married was an honor.

Finding out that he was sleeping with my girlfriend was a nightmare.

Everything I knew was a lie.

When the opportunity came to get out of town and leave my ex behind, I took it.

Umbrella drinks and broken hearts don't mix well.

I shouldn't want Shelby for myself - but I do.

I want her more than I've ever wanted anyone.

Maybe, she was just mine to hold.

You can find her, in four-inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It's a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn't listen to her...

Ilsa Madden-Mills' second book in her Hawthorne University series is out now! If you like college sports romances that have a ton of drama then you'll want to check this one out. See my full review here




I’m not sure how long I can ignore the undeniable spark between us.
Boyfriend Material, an all-new swoon-worthy new adult sports romance
from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills is available now!

#1 Amazon Bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills delivers an all-new, enemies-to-
lovers sports romance, a breathtaking tale of passion, heartbreak, and love…

Skyscraper cheekbones, lush lips, and magnetic topaz eyes.

I’m talking about Eric Hansen.

Rich prick.
Glorified hockey star.
Thinks he’s amazing.

The Golden Boy and I are well acquainted. In prep school he trampled on my heart then kept right on going.

Now, he’s living the high life with frat parties and puck bunnies at Hawthorne University.
On the other hand, people barely notice me—unless I’m on stage taking my clothes off.
I’m the nobody, surviving in the seedy part of town as I fight to keep my head above treacherous waters.

I’ve snubbed him for three years.

The avoidance game we’ve been playing was working—until he rescues me from a bad guy and claims he wants to help me more.

Hello. I don’t need a knight in shining armor. This girl saves herself.

Yet, I’m not sure how long I can ignore the undeniable spark between us. (It’s not even a spark; it’s a full-fledged, blazing fire.)

Can this hockey player prove he’s boyfriend material, or will our past get in the way?
This steamy romance is perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers or second-chances.

WANTED: A SITUATION-SHIP

I’m a single female that’s tired of relationships ruining my life. However, there are times when a date would be helpful. If you’re a single man, preferably mid-twenties to late-thirties, and are in a similar situation, we might be a match.

Candidate must be handsome, charming, and willing to pretend to have feelings for me (on a sliding scale, as the event requires). Ability to discuss a wide variety of topics is a plus. Must have your own transportation and a (legal) job.

This will be a symbiotic agreement. In exchange for your time, I will give you mine. Need someone to flirt with you at a football party? Go, team! Want a woman to make you look good in front of your boss? Let me find my heels. Would you love for someone to be obsessed with you in front of your ex? I’m applying my red lipstick now.

If interested, please email me. Time is of the essence.

 


About the Author:

She resides in the Midwest with her husband, sons, and two dogs. She spends a large amount of time playing with her kids, drinking coffee, and cooking. You can find her outside if the weather's nice and there's always a piece of candy in her pocket.

J.H. Croix's Fall for Me is live today! It's a very swoony romance, and I absolutely loved the main characters. Check out my full review here

Release Date: February 22

A swoon-worthy firefighter romance from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix!

Problem: My ex is marrying my ex-bestie.
Plan A: Burn the church down?
Plan B: Fake marry my friend.

I haven’t seen Archer since fifth grade. When he shows up in our small hometown and offers to marry me, I don’t ask many questions. I get to salvage my shredded pride and do him a favor.

I only need one thing from him—sell the deal when my ex comes back to town to marry my ex-bestie. Now I’m fake-married to a totally hot guy who needs a wife for *reasons*.

I’m way too cynical to fall for anyone, but Archer’s hard to resist. He keeps telling me we’re just faking it, but trust me when I tell you, there are some things we are not faking.

This was never supposed to be real. Until he whispers, fall for me.

Archer & Phoebe’s story is perfect for readers who love: Marriage of convenience, friends to lovers, slow burn, broody secret billionaire, small town gossip, emotional romance with a dash of angst, plenty of steam and swoon, and a hero with a protective streak a mile wide.

 Alexis Winter's new release Waiting For Forever is out now! This book deals with some difficult issues (especially abuse), but it is SO good. This is exactly the kind of storytelling that made me fall in love with Winter's work. Read my full review here


 

Waiting For Forever By Alexis Winter is LIVE!!

One Click ---> https://amzn.to/3GIo2I6


As a firefighter, I’ve dedicated my life to saving others but I couldn't' save my family.
After losing my wife and unborn daughter, I was done with it all: love, happily ever after, a family.
Then I met her—Stephanie Hartman. 5’10” of pure perfection.


For over a year I’ve sat back and watched her tend bar at my local watering hole.
I’ve witnessed the way she cares for others.
The way she listens to their sob stories.
The sincere smile she offers them when they break down after a few too many.

I’ve even stolen a few flirty moments of her time.
A wink here, a lingering glance there—The connection was instant.

The chemistry between us could melt diamonds.
I tried to resist. Told myself she deserves more than a broken man.
But neither of us wanted to fight it any longer, so I gave in…we both did.
The moment my lips tasted her I was done and she was mine.

She made me come alive. She made me feel things I thought had died years ago.
But there’s something lurking behind her beautiful eyes—pain and loss.

She’s been carrying a secret so heavy, neither of us were prepared when it broke loose.
I’ll be dammed if I let it destroy us before we even get a chance.

Just when it seems we finally got it right...
He shows up, dragging her back to Wyoming with threats of ruining her life.
He’s not just a bitter ex—he’s a dangerous felon with a past so dark and a sheriff in his pocket, he’s willing to kill to keep it safe.

She’s made it more than clear though—she doesn’t need saving.
But when I see danger approaching, instinct kicks in.
I lost everything once before, I won’t lose her too.
But the harder I try to save her, the more it seems like she’s slipping away.

Maybe after everything that life has put her through, I’m not the man she needs.

Even if I lose her.
Even if she chooses him.
Even if this is all I’ll ever have with her.
She was worth it.
