In CRUSHING ON LOVE…

Steve Johnson is living his life’s passion watching over the Colorado Mountains as a ranger and wildlife consultant. But his peaceful life is upended when overzealous and insanely beautiful Shannon Braden flits back into his life after returning from a brief trip home to Maryland. He thought his attraction to her was under control—after all, she’s only in Colorado temporarily, and he doesn’t do casual affairs.

Shannon’s return to Colorado has as much to do with the game of cat and mouse she and Steve have been playing as it does the data she’s been hired to collect. But despite her efforts to explore the undeniable heat simmering between them, Steve’s intent on keeping his distance.

When a ranch abutting the national park goes up for sale, Steve will do whatever it takes to keep it from falling into the wrong hands. And when all his attempts fail, he’s left with no alternative but to follow Shannon’s guidance into the online world he abhors in order to raise the funds. The more time they spend together, the deeper their attraction becomes, and a game of cat and mouse turns into an unstoppable connection. But when Shannon’s assignment comes to an end, will it mean an end to them, too?

The Bradens are part of the Love in Bloom big family romance collection. Characters from each sub-series appear in future books.

Synopsis

Travis King is the worst kind of asshole.

He taunts me for being a good girl and mocks my high standards.

He’s cruel, crass, and has enough confidence to last two lifetimes.

And I hate him.

It wouldn’t matter so much if he were avoidable.

But considering he’s my older brother’s best friend and roommate, I see him more than I’d ever want to.

His sculpted abs and gorgeous eyes are wasted on such an arrogant man, which makes me hate him even more.

Even though I’ve had a crush on him since I was ten, the feelings weren’t mutual and he’s made that very clear.

He’s always loved getting under my skin and one night against my better judgment, I let him in my bed.

I’ve succumbed to his manwhore ways, but that doesn’t change a thing.

Because the King is about to get played at his own game—and lose.

Excerpt

Travis

Once I’m home, I start unbuttoning my shirt and ripping my belt off. I can’t stand being in these clothes any longer than necessary. I don’t see or hear Viola anywhere, although her car is parked in the driveway, so I pull my shirt off and pull my pants down before tossing them on the arm of the couch.

I walk to the kitchen and pull open the fridge to look for a beer. Once I find one, I twist off the cap and slam the door shut again. Just as I take a swig, a girl walks in, who is not Viola and stops frozen in her tracks.

“Who are you?” I ask, fully aware I’m down to my boxers. Her eyes glass over before finally blinking and looking back up to my eyes. “Did you hear me?”

She swallows. “Yes, sorry. You just scared the shit out of me. Viola said her brother wasn’t home.”

“I’m not her brother.” I take another swig, roaming my eyes down her petite little body. “I’m the roommate, Travis.” I say, taking a step toward her. “You must be a friend of Viola’s?”

Before she can answer, I hear Viola stomping toward us. “Don’t touch him, Ash. You’ll catch an STD.”

Her eyes widen, and I’m pretty sure I see her friend take a tiny step back.

“I’m surprised you even know what an STD is, considering you’re a virgin and all.” I flash a wink at her when her friend isn’t looking.

She huffs. “I’m not a vir—gah, never mind. Fuck off, Travis. And put some damn clothes on.”

“I don’t think your friend minds.” I turn and smile at her. “Do you?”

“Uh…I…” she stammers, and a part of me feels bad I’ve put her in the middle.

“Didn’t think so.” I grin, walking past her toward Viola. “Looks like you’re in the minority, princess.”

I sit on the couch and click on the TV. I hear Viola speaking to her friend as they finish bringing in all of her shit. I glance back and see bags lining the floor.

“You realize you’re only staying here for a couple weeks, right?” I shout. “No need to nerd up the place with all your Harry Potter books and capes. Wouldn’t impress my guests.”

“You’re an idiot,” she snaps. “And since when did you consider your one-night stands ‘guests’?”

I turn fully, facing her. Her cheeks are flushed, and I know it’s killing her that she has to be here alone with me. “You want to see how well I treat my guests?” I flash a crooked smile, knowing it’ll rile her right up.

“I wouldn’t let my worst enemy near you,” she fires back, narrowing her eyes at me. Fuck, she’s hot when she gets super pissed. All the more to push her buttons.

I tsk. “If you could keep them away that is…”

I turn back around just as she tells her friend it’s time to go. She whispers a few curse words, and I know this is going to be a lot more fun than I expected.

review

Warning: ends in a cliffhanger!! 

Viola and Travis have a love/hate relationship; they love to hate each other. Travis is Viola’s older brother’s best friend and has been for years. At one time, Travis and Viola were great friends, now they’re almost mortal enemies, doing whatever they can to push the other’s buttons. 

In reading this, all I could think was that there’s too much hate here. When there’s smoke, there’s fire and Viola and Travis about cause a 4-alarm fire. There has to be a deeper reason for their hate for each other and you do find out why (I’m not going to tell you) but it makes perfect sense. 

I can’t wait for book 2!!!

Synopsis: Samantha Kane is about to solidify her father’s legacy by developing sleepy Gold Mountain into the most profitable ski resort in the country. There’s one man standing in her way though. One very sexy, rugged man. When she shows up to convince Austin Reede to sell, she has no intention of hiding her identity. But with a body like his, she’ll take a few risks to get closer.

Austin was the fastest skier on the U.S. Olympic team, until he shattered his knee. Gold Mountain became his refuge—and now Kane Enterprises is threatening that home. When he meets Sam, he has no idea she’s the one to blame, he just knows the attraction between them is one he hasn’t felt in years. A scorching hot one-night stand is just what he needs. Little does he guess that it will change everything…

Sam is a strong, independent woman who is the CEO of Kane Enterprises. She’s known to be strong and commanding, a wolf. She plans to head and meet with one of the holdouts on her expansion project. 

Austin is a former skier who is now training other skiers and dodging Samantha Kane’s calls about selling his land. Conveniently, the Sam who helps him in a crisis situation and that he’s wildly attracted to is actually the one woman he’s trying to stay far from…

A cute story of mistaken identity. I can’t wait for more of the Men of Gold Mountain series!

This is a story that I was reading it, I was thinking “OMG are you kidding me?!”  But in a good way.  Although I guess as the outsider looking in, it’s easy for me to see what was going on.

Linc and Savannah have a history that Savannah can’t forget no matter how much she tries.  And Linc wants to get back to being friends with Savannah since it’s been years since they’ve seen each other and hung out.

Savannah has been hurt by her heart and Linc in the past, so she is NOT going to let him worm his way back in, right?

This was a sweet book, bits of funny along with swoony moments.  I hope there will be more, I want to see what Ivy has in store for her…

4.5 stars!

TBRreview

If you’ve read the other books in the series, you might have heard of Beck, resident bad boy doctor.  Well he’s finally getting his story.

Ginger (I have always loved that name) is the one who got away AND Beck’s new boss.  No that doesn’t complicate things at all.  Ginger doesn’t know things about Beck’s past and he surely doesn’t want to tell her.  But the longer they work together, the more sparks fly…

This was a great second chance romance.  Second chance romances can be hit or miss for me but this was definitely a hit.  Beck’s story and history make him the person he was and is today.  And you see how he’s grown but still loves Ginger.

 

Great story!!

Blog Tour & Review ~ Stroked Long ~ by ~ Meghan Quinn

We’re so excited about the release of STROKED LONG by Meghan Quinn! 

STROKED LONG by Meghan Quinn
Scheduled to release: September 20, 2016

Sports Romance

Cover Designed by: Indie Solutions by Murphy Rae

BLURB:
From his dirty-blond hair and breathtaking smile, to the abs from heaven and the irresistible V in his waistline, everything about Bodi Olympic-gold-medalist Banks screams hot piece of @$$.
Yet there’s more.
Dark shadows lurk behind his soulful, serious eyes.
I’m enamored. He’s captured me.

How can running an art foundation with Bodi Banks turns into a slow-burning, epic romance, even though he tries to push me away at every chance? How can I stay away from a broken, routine-driven man whose soul cries to be forgiven for a crime only he believes he committed? Or is that a lie?



**STROKED LONG can be read as a stand alone.

TBRreview
There is NOTHING to prepare you for Bodi.  Just know that going in.  Oh and that Bodi is my new book boyfriend – I’ll fight for him!!  Bodi is so beautifully, wonderfully flawed (with good reason!!!!) but I can’t even call it a flaw.  He’s real.  He’s unlike any romance story hero, in that he has flaws, his life hasn’t been perfect and he really, truly struggles with himself.  And ladies, he watched Gilmore Girls!  So yes, he’s perfect! *sigh*
Ruby is adorable!  She’s colorful and sweet and rambles and I just love her to pieces.  And she’s JUST what Bodi needs.  She needs to bring the color to Bodi’s black, white and gray house and life and shake him up a little bit.
Multiple times I was close to tearing up and wanting to hug Bodi and calm him and reassure him.  Plus, if Jase Dean is Bodi, I’m definitely hugging on HARD ;-).
I can’t wait for Stroked Hard!  If ever I get to meet the genius Miss Quinn in person, I’m definitely getting this series in paperback!!
5 stars!

BLURB:

Reese King: Olympic medalist, underwear model, Greek god.

His body is chiseled from rock, sculpted by the weight room, and refined by water.

On a daily basis his skin is completely bare for everyone to see, tan and defined, only covered up by a minuscule piece of spandex. There is no denying his sex appeal.

I hate to admit it, but I’m head over heels infatuated with him.

There is one HUGE problem though. His achingly gorgeous abs, inked up arm, and cocky swagger belong to my boss, the high-profile, reality star bitch from hell and certified heinous human being, Bellini Chambers.

What I think is going to be an easy job assisting a glorified wench turns into a cluster f*ck of epic proportions.

About the Author:

Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.
Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking.
Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

WILDER BOOK TRAILER

TBRreview

Oh what can I say about Paxton Wilder?  I think the most fitting is that Wilder really fits him.

This story isn’t just an X-Games competitor falling for his tutor.  There’s love, lust, suspense, intrigue, danger and even mystery!  You can’t help but love Pax when he’s not being a Renegade but being himself.  He is very swoony!!

Leah is along for the Semester at Sea to be with Rachel, her friend and to tutor someone she’s never met.  She’s part of the work study program and in order to stay on this chance of a lifetime for a year, she needs to tutor Pax.  Leah is deathly afraid of risky things – with VERY good reason – and Pax is the King of death-defying stunts.  You can just imagine how that’s going to work out.

I love this book, the start of this series and everything about it!  I can’t decide which Renegade’s story I’m shooting for next.  But I think I know whose it will be…  Want to know?  Read the book!

Willa sighed and headed to the door.

Again Keane held the pink bedazzled cat carrier, which should have made him look ridiculous. Instead it somehow upped his testosterone levels. His sharp eyes were on her but they turned warm in a way that melted her right through her center as she moved toward him. She stopped with the glass door between them, hands on hips, hoping she looked irritated even if that wasn’t quite what she was feeling.

His gaze lowered from her face to run over her body, which gave her another unwelcome rush of heat. Dammit. Now she was irritated and aroused—not a good combo.

His mouth quirked at the saying on her apron that read Dear Santa, I Can Explain.

Drawing a deep breath, she opened the door. “You’ve got Petunia again. I hope that means your great-aunt Sally isn’t still sick.”

He looked surprised that she’d remembered his aunt’s name, or that she’d care. “I don’t know,” he said a little gruffly. “She left me a message saying that I was in charge for the rest of the week but for two days now Pita’s been happily destroying my jobsite. I’m throwing myself on your mercy here. Can you help?”

Wow. He must be really desperate since he was actually asking and not assuming. But since Petunia was a sweetheart, she knew she’d do it.

“I’ll even tell you where I went to high school,” he said, adding a smile that was shockingly charming.

Wow. He hadn’t lost his touch when it came to turning it on. “Not necessary,” she said, painfully aware of their audience.

Keane’s attention was suddenly directed upward, just above her head. She followed his line of sight and found a sprig of mistletoe hanging from the overhead display of small portable doggy pools. Mistletoe? What the hell? She glanced behind her and what do you know, suddenly Rory and Cara were a flurry of movement racing around looking very, very busy. “When did the mistletoe go up?” she asked them. “And why?”

“FOMO,” Cara said from behind the counter.

“Fear of missing out,” Rory translated. “She was hoping a hot guy would come in and the mistletoe would give her an excuse.”

Willa narrowed her eyes and her two soon-to-be-dead employees scattered again.

“Interesting,” Keane said, looking amused.

“I’m not kissing you.”

His mouth curved. “If you take Pita for the day, I’ll kiss you.”

“Not necessary,” she said, gratified no one could see her heart during the two-step in her ears. “I’ll take Petunia for the day. No kiss required or wanted.”

Liar, liar

I love this series! The men and women of Heartbreaker Bay are just such a good group and great friends. I read book 1 and loved it so I was ready for book 2. And I can’t wait for book 3 in February!!!

Willa is a sweetheart with a heart as big as San Francisco and wants to care for all the people and animals she comes across. Including Keane, whom she knew in high school but he doesn’t remember her.

Keane is into flipping houses and properties. Things that don’t demand an attachment or commitment from him. But Willa just sneaks her way into his heart and mind as does his aunt’s cat that he is forced to take care of.

There’s laughs, tears, sexy times and just a whole lot of fun in these books!

5 stars!

Author Bio

USA Today Bestselling Author – Jani Kay lives in Western Australia within a ten minute walk to the beach which is one of her favorite places to chill out.

She has been a bookworm all her life – as a voracious reader, she would gladly spend her last dollar on a book. She is always fascinated that for the mere price of a book (often less than the price of a coffee!), she can escape her life for a while and see through someone else’s eyes into their world.

Jani loves the colour red, is a fiery Aries, is impatient and always storming ahead with those ram’s horns, bashing her head…she has a wicked sense of humour and loves laughing.

In her ‘other’ life, Jani is a business woman and a scientist – a creative scientist though – she formulates skin care products and brews up concoctions in her laboratory…

She has 2 beautiful children who have grown into amazing young adults and Jani is very proud of them.

Besides reading and writing, her favorite ‘thing’ is traveling and drinking cocktails on the beach while watching the sun set over the ocean (Sex on The Beach anyone?).Above all, she believes in Kindness, Karma, Miracles and Magic…
