New Release ~ Don’t Like You ~ by ~ Juliet Arya

Title: Don’t Like You

Series: Say Something Book One
Author: Juliet Arya
Genre: Contemporary/NA Romance
Release Date: August 14, 2020
 
I push. She pulls.
I run. She chases.
I leap. She follows.
I fight. She always wins.
 
Even when we didn’t know the meaning of love, we’ve always belonged together.
 
The first time we met, she saw me naked. Then, she grabbed my balls while I howled in pain.
 
That should have been my clue—this girl has owned my balls since day one. But, nah, I am not that bright with matters of the heart. 
 
I had to go and make things complicated.
 
She is my little sister’s best friend. Growing up, she hung around my house and turned into the bane of my existence. Infiltrating my privacy, claiming me as hers.
 
To get rid of her, I came up with a combat strategy. Every time she tried to talk to me, I would say, “I don’t like you.” And that would shut her up.
 
Now, after years of her persistence and teasing, I want to make her mine.
 
But this time, she is the one playing hard to get.
 
Two sexually frustrated adults with one finish line. What can go wrong? Apparently, a lot.
 
Don’t Like You is a coming-of-age story that follows a childhood crush into adulthood, filled with sexual banter and hot moments in between.

“What are you doing?” she asks in a high-pitched, breathy voice. 

“We should have sex.” 

“What? You … you are out of your mind.” She is still studying my body. Her tongue quickly peeks out, licking her lower lip. 

We want the same thing, sweetheart. Sooner or later, you will agree that you are mine. 

“It’s a shame I wasted so many hours at the gym. I worked so hard on my body just for the pleasure of your eyes. I wanted you to enjoy the view when we got naked. See how considerate I am? Always considering the future. Always thinking about you. I am going to die celibate anyway. Might as well give me some pity sex one last time before we break up. Seven-point-five inches of prime meat inside that sweet pussy of yours.” 

She gulps. “I … I … don’t you dare take your pants off. I know what you are doing.” 

“Really? What do you think I am doing?” 

“Seducing me.” 

“Is it working?” I know it is. 

“I am not having sex with you.” 

“Okay, fine, no sex. You owe me a blow job. One blow job, and we are even.” 

“Wait. Can you please stop touching yourself like that? How do I owe you a blow job?” 

She shuts her eyes and then shakes her head like she is trying to get rid of an image in her mind. “Whatever you are doing is not working,” she says, but I can see the rise and fall of her chest. 

I can’t help but grin. “Okay, I have another proposition. Will you change your mind if I offer my services instead of asking you for yours? Let me eat your pussy nonstop for the next twenty-four hours, and we will call it even.” 

A gasp escapes her lips, and I can see a pounding pulse throb on her neck. I want to lick that long neck of hers and suck on her pulse. She squeezes her legs together and swallows. My cock stirs in my pants. I am sporting a semi. My body knows when she is ready. This is us.


Juliet lives in a house of chaos surrounded by the humans she loves. Her skill set includes drinking but never getting drunk, cooking hearty dinners and day dreaming while lusting after hot book boyfriends. She loves romantic rainy day picnics and good innuendoes with equal measure. ‘Don’t Like You’ is her first book.

BLURB:

When her pediatric hospital faces a financial crisis, Dr. Sabrina Bankhead is willing to do anything to save it and the children it serves. Agreeing to be the bachelorette for a TV fundraiser seems like the best way to help, until the single mom discovers the host is far more appealing than any of the contestants. But falling for Quinn would ruin the competition and bankrupt the hospital. Plus, his restless nature sets off all of Sabrina’s warning bells, which makes him one big walking Off Limits sign with blue eyes and flashing lights.

While back in the States recovering from a bomb blast in a combat zone, investigative journalist Quinn Donnelly lets his sister talk him into hosting a charity dating show against his better judgment. As a lifelong nomad with a driving need to uncover the injustices in the world, Quinn isn’t looking to give up his work or settle down. Yet he’s blindsided by the irresistible Dr. Bankhead, and suddenly wondering if he could exchange the biggest story of his career for a chance at love and life in a small town.

A life that’s turning into a rollercoaster. A fire that burns her house down. A new crush that isn’t telling her everything…⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Jen had a rough start of her adult life when she got pregnant and lost both her baby and her ex. But that was ten years ago. Now she pairs wine and food for parties for a living and loves her life. It’s all about to get even better when she meets Jake at the Best Draft’s opening party. But when she loses her house in a fire, her world is turning upside down yet again. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Jake’s heart was broken when his fiancé left him at the alter with only a note on a cocktail napkin saying “I’m sorry, I cant.” Ever since that moment, he has a hard time trusting people. But when he meets Jen, he knows she’s his soulmate. He offers her his guestroom for her to live in but he chides himself. Afterall, how could he live in the same space as someone who he thinks of every second of the day? And would she still want to live with him when she finds out more about him?⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
In order to move on, both Jen and Jake have to face their past. But when miscommunications lead to misunderstandings, Jen and Jake face even bigger challenges. Will they be able to fix this?

Jake is just too cocky – at least when he sees “Red” Jen and decides he needs to meet her. And Jen is not impressed when Jake shows up and is all sorts of over confident with her. That is not what she’s looking for at all.

Jen ends up homeless, her apartment had burnt down and she just doesn’t know what to do. While pouring over her woes with her friend when wouldn’t you know it, Jake shows up. But Jake, is actually helpful and offers her a room in his cabin in the woods – no, this isn’t a murder mystery.

I liked Jen and Jake’s chemistry, even though they both were keeping secrets from each other. Eventually they worked it out and alls well that ends well :).

4 stars!

Are you ready for another rockstar romance? Elle Greco is back with LOVE SONG, the next book in her LA Rock Star series. If you love sexy musicians, be sure to grab your copy today or start reading it for free with Kindle Unlimited!

About LOVE SONG

Jett Benson is having a bad week.

To start, she was kicked out of her soon to be ex-stepfather’s Bel Air mansion. Then, UCLA gave her the boot because of an unpaid tuition bill. Finally, her crappy car just broke down in Venice Beach, and she doesn’t have the money to fix it.

And that’s just Monday.

Jett needs a job. And fast. But with her car out of commission and a resume that screams unemployable, she has no choice but to crash on her ex-stepbrother Rafe’s couch until she gets back on her feet.

Once mortal enemies, a bond grew between Jett and Rafe when their bands toured together. It’s a bond that Jett’s trying to avoid before it morphs into something more. And that something more could break her heart because Rafe’s left a path of shattered ones in his wake.

Rafe Davis was adopted into rock and roll royalty. When his own father, guitar player for legendary rock band Anthem, fell victim to the cut-throat music industry, Rafe was enveloped by the Davis clan. Now, like his dad, Rafe is a guitar player, but for Rogue Nation, a band whose debut album is following Anthem’s meteoric trajectory. But Rafe is determined not to repeat history, even if that means guarding his heart against the one person who believes in him.

So Jett needs to find a J-O-B and get off Rafe’s couch before she climbs into his bed. Because for both of them, falling in love is not an option.

Love Song is the second book in the LA Rock Star Romance series. Set in the glam and gritty Los Angeles rock scene, the series is filled with swoon-worthy men and badass women, all chasing their dreams in Hollywood’s cut-throat music industry.

Get ready to fall in love with another LA Rock Star.

About ELLE GRECO

I write fiction about badass women (and the people they love).

Urban Fantasy lovers will know me as Karen Greco, author of the best-selling Hell’s Belle series. My Contemporary Romance books are written under Elle Greco.

While the genres are worlds apart, strong female characters are the chain that links all my worlds.

These women are magical. They wield wicked weapons. They play a mean drum solo. They fall in love. They rule the boardroom and the bedroom.

Whatever they do, they do it with swagger.

My storytelling career began when I forced everyone play “make believe” with me when I was a kid. That eventually morphed into banging out short stories on my mom’s old manual typewriter. As I got older, I graduated to penning bad poetry, then not terrible plays as a teenager. I studied playwright in college but my career took a detour and I ended up working in journalism and then entertainment publicity, which kept me busy for 20 or so years.

My “day job” has taken me from gritty rock clubs in The Bowery to glam red carpets during movie premieres and awards shows. My background working with talent (and the suits) in the industry has served me well with the LA Rock Star Romance series.

A few years ago, I decided to pursue my original passion and a few full-length novels later, here we are.

I love anything spooky and impossible to explain. If you love hanging out in cemeteries, the older the better, I’d totally go on a road trip with you.

I have two rescue dogs, a patient husband, and an awesome kid.

New Release ~ The Layover ~ by ~ Cassie Cross

Today we have the release day blitz for THE LAYOVER by Cassie Cross! Check it out and be sure to grab your copy today!

Title: The Layover

Author: Cassie Cross

Genre: Contemporary Romance

 

 

 

About The Layover:

Macy Monroe has spent two years living and working in Rome, dreaming about moving back home to Port City. That dream finally comes true when her assignment ends and she finds a new job and new apartment back in the States. As a last hurrah in Europe, she books a layover in Paris for a long weekend full of sightseeing and all the baguettes and cheese she can eat. But her plan hits a snag when a hotel snafu leaves her stranded by the Seine with nowhere to stay.

 

Fate steps in when she runs into Beckett McLane, her ex-boyfriend from college. He’s in town working on his next novel and offers her a place to stay. Beckett’s the kind of handsome that you never really forget, and Macy’s heart is still a little broken from the breakup. Without any other options, she reluctantly takes him up on the offer.

 

Macy encourages work-obsessed Beckett to take a much-needed break from his laptop, and as he shows her around town, they get caught up in the romantic City of Light. When they’re together, it’s easy to forget that Macy’s only on a layover and their time together is running out…

Exclusive Excerpt:

I kick a pebble across the sidewalk, then stand and rummage through my bag to fish out a jacket. It’s early spring and the region has been unseasonably warm, but tonight there’s a chilly breeze.

Not wanting to put my phone down, I awkwardly cradle it against my chin as I try slipping my arm through the sleeve. I almost have my other arm through when my phone breaks free and crashes against the ground.

I reach for it quickly; it’s my only lifeline right now. I must go for it at the same time someone else does, because our heads crack together with what feels like an ungodly force.

The guy manages to get the phone, while I stand and clamp my hand against my forehead, trying to get my bearings.

“I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to…”

His voice trails off, either because I am severely concussed or because my stomach doing somersaults turned off blood flow to my brain. Because I’d know that voice anywhere. It’s whispered my name between kisses, yelled at me when I was being a little too stubborn. It’s comforted me when I was crying, and used to be my favorite sound in the world.

Until its owner used it to break up with me going on four years ago now.

He’s still gorgeous as ever, and the years since I’ve seen him have definitely been more than kind.

“Macy?” he asks, the confusion on his face melting into that crooked smile I used to dream about.

“Hi Beckett.”
