BLURB:

A guy should never, and I do mean never, hook up with his friend’s sister.

It doesn’t matter how hot she is or how many times he’s imagined her in a not-so-innocent way. Nope. Those visuals should always remain hidden deep down in a dark place.

But of course, I just had to drink until I couldn’t see straight and screw everything up. Now, I know what you’re thinking, and I swear it wasn’t my fault. It was that damn tequila.

I never expected to wake up naked only a few feet away from the woman I never should have touched. But man, reality had been so much better than any fantasy I’d ever had.

But it all went downhill fast when she opened the door to leave and came face to face with none other than her brother, who is also one of my best friends.

I’m a dead man, but Jade might actually be worth it.

And to think, all it took to change everything was… Just One Night.

New Audio Release ~ Arrogant Arrival ~ by ~ Gail Haris

♦ ♦ ♦

Jolene is done with pilots. She’s better than just another quick layover. But dating is difficult with her chaotic schedule in and out of airport terminals and hotel rooms all around the world. She’s tired of watching couples fly off to romantic destinations and families spending vacations together. However, she doesn’t plan to be a flight attendant forever. She just doesn’t know what she wants to do yet. One thing she does know is that she certainly doesn’t want to do that arrogant Greek bastard Jim. Dimitrios “Jim” Georgakopolous is a contract pilot who loves his job — who wouldn’t when you can pick and choose your own schedule and destination? When a flight cancelation turns into the best layover of his life, he suddenly finds he doesn’t want to leave the arms of a certain dark-haired beauty named Jolene. Unfortunately, the storm that stranded them both there compare little to Jolene’s rage when she finds out he’s pilot. Jim never expected to find his airport tryst again. Jolene certainly didn’t expect to be the stewardess on the same plane that Jim’s traveling on to Greece. Will this be a twist of fate or a modern-day Greek tragedy?

New Release ~ Savage Vow ~ by ~ Zoe Blake

Title: Savage Vow

Series: Ivanov Crime Family #1

Author: Zoe Blake

Genre: Dark Mafia Romance

Release Date: January 15, 2021

BLURB

I took her innocence as payment.

She was far too young and naïve to be betrothed to a monster like me.

I would bring only pain and darkness into her sheltered world.

That’s why she ran.

I should’ve just let her go…

She never asked to marry into a powerful Russian mafia family.

None of this was her choice.

Unfortunately for her, I don’t care.

I own her… and after three years of searching… I’ve found her.

My runaway bride was about to learn disobedience has consequences… punishing ones.

Having her in my arms and under my control had become an obsession.

Nothing was going to keep me from claiming her before the eyes of God and man.

She’s finally mine… and I’m never letting her go.

EXCERPT

One moment I was standing in the middle of the room, the next, he pressed me against the wall, towering over me. His hips leaned into mine as his right arm rested high over my head, caging me in. His warm spicy scent enveloped me. The sensation was overwhelming and terrifying.

Still, he didn’t speak.

I licked my lips and watched as his gaze zeroed in on my mouth.

“Answer me,” I demanded with more boldness than I felt.

“Would I have pulled the trigger?” he repeated.

I nodded.

He lowered his right arm. The cold barrel of the gun grazed my cheek. I sucked in a breath. He pointed the gun off to the side and cocked the hammer. I squeezed my eyes shut and braced for the gunshot, but only heard the same hollow metallic click. Opening my eyes, I watched as Gregor tossed the gun onto the bed.

“But… I don’t….”

Lifting his left arm, he held up a bullet between his thumb and forefinger. He had never truly loaded the gun. It had all been a twisted game from the start.

My brow furrowed. “Why would you do something like that? You scared him to death!”

“He deserved to be punished for touching you.”

He said it so matter of factly. As if we weren’t discussing terrorizing my now ex-boyfriend with a fucking gun!

I shoved at his chest. It was solid muscle, so of course he didn’t budge. I hated that I had to crane my head back to meet his gaze. It made me feel small and vulnerable. “No one asked you! I can take care of myself!”

“Malyshka, you can’t honestly think I was going to let him assault you like that and just walk away unscathed? He’s lucky it’s my little sister’s birthday, and the house is filled with witnesses, otherwise I would have beaten him within an inch of his worthless life.”

“I don’t understand. Why do you care?”

I hadn’t laid eyes on this man in over five years. I was just his little sister’s friend. I was nothing to him.

He reached down to pull back the fabric of my dress, exposing the top of my breast and shoulder. His fingertip traced my collarbone before slowly moving down to caress near the bruise marks. His brow creased, and a small tick appeared high on his cheekbone just below his eye. He breathed heavily through his nose as if he were trying to calm himself down. His anger was palatable.

“He hurt you,” he said matter-of-factly, his voice gruff and low. “When I entered from the patio, even before I saw your face, I could feel your fear. If I hadn’t come in when I did? That little bastard would have….”

It hadn’t occurred to me he might actually be shaken and upset at Peter’s treatment of me. Gregor almost appeared human in this moment. Vulnerable.

“Yeah, but he didn’t….”

He cupped my jaw and gazed down at me, his eyes as hard as flint. Gone was my brief glimpse of his unfamiliar human side. He was back to being the scary, inscrutable man I knew him to be. “It will never happen again. Do you understand me? I’m here now to make sure of it.”

What was that supposed to mean?

Alarm bells raged inside my head.

He ran his thumb over my bottom lip before continuing. “From this point forward, you are under my protection. I will expect you to behave accordingly and not put yourself in these types of dangerous positions again. I will be obeyed in this, malyshka.”

Under his protection?

Obey him?

Malyshka?

No.

Something was wrong here.

I couldn’t think straight. Too much had happened in the last hour.

My head was spinning.

Nothing he said or did was making any sense to me.

My eyes welled up as the trauma set in.

Frustrated, I swiped at a tear that fell down my cheek. “Stop calling me that!”

“What?”

“You know what.”

“Malyshka?”

“Yes, malyshka! I’m not you’re malyshka. I’m not your anything! You can’t just come in here and start dictating rules to me!”

“That’s where you’re wrong. You’re mine now.”

“I’m sick of you pushing me away. Get out of the way of our happiness, Hope. We need each other.” His fingers find their way inside of me, and I suck in a breath as he plays and brings me to the brink of having an orgasm. Right here in a fucking vegan restaurant.

Wait, is it really hot in here? Has someone turned the heat on?

His mouth takes mine, muffling my sighs and moans as I concentrate on increasing this ecstatic explosion quickly rising.

“Oh shit.” I grab on to him, and try to grind against his hand. Shit, shit, shit. “I’m nearly there.” I keep moving my hips, wanting him to bring me undone. Suddenly, he pulls away and slowly brings his fingers up to his mouth. “What are you doing?” I nearly leap on him to finish what he started.

He sucks on his fingers, and winks. “You want me to finish?” I’m nodding furiously. “Then come to my house tonight.” He opens the door, and walks out.

What the actual fuckity fuck, fuck, just happened?

AUTHOR BIO

STRONG, BRAVE AND COURAGEOUS CHARACTERS.

**Write something worth reading**

I’m Margaret and I’m a self-published author.

Recently I was fortunate in obtaining New York Times best-selling status on my YA/NA book – Ugly, and my YA book – Mistrust.

My last six books have been YA and I’m completely in love with the genre. I love being able to communicate with people through my words and stories.

My writing genres all differ, but the one thing I keep consistent is my heroines. All my female lead characters are strong, gutsy and not the ‘perfect’ woman. While my books all have romantic elements in them, they aren’t just about the romance. They’re about finding strength, acceptance and making life long connections.

I hope you enjoy my stories as much as I have while writing them.

New Release & Review ~ Not the Marrying Kind ~ by ~ Kathryn Nolan

Title: Not the Marrying Kind

Author: Kathryn Nolan

Genre: Contemporary Romantic Comedy

Release Date: January 8, 2021

Cover Design: Kari March

Photographer: (c) Regina Wamba

He’s the best bad decision she’ll ever make….

Type A attorney Fiona Quinn has one goal left to accomplish before turning 30: A big, fairy-tale wedding. All she needs is a groom. So what if she’s never been in love—or even lust—before? She’s confident she can solve the problem the way she always does, with spreadsheets and an action plan.

When a family emergency brings Max “Bad Boy” Devlin swaggering back into town—with his cocky grin, tattoos, and wanderlust—Fiona has to remind herself that he’s as unsuitable as it gets. Nope. Not happening. No matter how irresistible his invitation is for a night or seven between the sheets. If she can’t tie him down—metaphorically, of course— her pants must stay on.

Max can’t remember the last time a woman turned him down. He’s a guaranteed three-orgasms good time, dammit. So what if he’s not the marrying kind? Those sweaty palms he gets when Fiona agrees to help him save his dad’s punk rock club are just an allergic reaction to her methodical march toward matrimony. Before he hits the road again, he’s going prove to Fiona that life’s more fun when you play, rather than plan.

No one gets hurt when it’s all just fun and games, right?

Author’s Note: A steamy, opposites attract standalone romance featuring a cocky bad boy (with a heart of gold) and a buttoned-up good girl (with a secret wild side). 1-click if you’re into dirty dancing, swoony first kisses from bad boys on motorcycles and hot trysts in supply closets. This book comes with a guaranteed (and very romantic) Happily Ever After.

This book was sooo great!! I’ve been taking a little break from romance for cozy mysteries and this was a perfect break back into the romance genre.

Fiona grew up as a child of rock and roll semi-stars in NYC. Her childhood was less than structured and for that reason, she CRAVES organization, structure, and just everything what her parents hadn’t given her as a child. She is the only one in her family who is buttoned-up, graduated college, has a law degree and is a lawyer with colored post-its organizing her life. And that includes the next man she dates.

Max is the embodiment of footloose and fancy free. He doesn’t want anything tying him down – until he comes into contact with Fiona again. Suddenly he wants to be the dating guy but only with her.

This book was funny, hot, sweet and a joy to read! Definitely a re-read as there’s no cliffhanger and everything is wrapped up in 1 book.

5 stars!

Kathryn Nolan is an adventurous hippie chick and loves to write steamy romance. Her books are filled with slow-burn sexual tension, memorable characters, tons of heart — and are often set in wild and beautiful locations.

Kathryn started her writing career in elementary school, writing about Star Wars and Harry Potter and inventing love stories in her many journals. She blames her obsession with slow-burn on her similar obsession for The X-Files.

Kathryn is a wanderer at heart, and loves to spend her free time hiking, camping, and traveling in her camper van (“Van Morrison”) with her cute, nerdy husband and Walter, their rescue pup. Kathryn is a Philly girl who just moved back home after spending more than 8 years living in Northern California — and six months traveling across the country in her camper van.

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: March 12, 2021

BLURB

I had learned a lot in my life. Being a foster kid and jumping from household to household, I knew more about surviving than any other human my age. I could disassemble and reassemble a motorcycle in a matter of a couple of weeks. I had experience in carpentry, cooking, cleaning, and any other odd job one could do while growing up. I thought I knew it all and had done it all. Meeting Brooklyn, however, taught me the one thing I never truly had.

Love.

She brought feelings into my life that I couldn’t explain if I tried the rest of my life. The word love never meant much to me, but with her, it felt natural. Real.

I didn’t know love, and I wasn’t prepared for what it brought along with it.

Love brought jealousy.

Love brought worry.

Love brought a side of me I wasn’t prepared for.

Brooklyn brought a lot of unexpected changes into my life.

Love. Loss. Heartbreak.

She was my star, but even the brightest of stars eventually burn out.

Sydney Carr knows better than to mix business with pleasure. She’s had a long, hard road to get to where she is now. She landed her dream job, and she’s not about to risk it all for the newest basketball recruit.

The stakes are high for Colson Rush. When he’s traded to the Miami Blaze, his focus is on one thing—winning. But when he helps a fiery redhead fight off a mugger, he can’t deny the sparks between them. Although she tries, neither can she.

Too bad she’s his new coach’s daughter.

Giving into the temptation is one personal foul neither of them can back down from.

TEASERS

I love a good sports romance – Susan Elizabeth Phillips’ Chicago Stars series remains one of my favorites to this day. Anywho, in this first story of the Men of Blaze series, we meet Colson, who has just been traded to the Miami Blaze, the NBA team.

Within minutes of landing, he stops a mugging in progress of the beautiful Sydney. Sparks immediately fly between the two. Fast forward to Colson and Sydney finding out the other is employed by the same company, the Blaze and Sydney’s dad is Colson’s new coach.

You could feel the chemistry between the two of them leaping off the page (well kindle). The flirting, the teasing, the pain and joy. Sydney and Colson both are not what the other expected but they’re definitely drawn to each other.

I can’t wait to read more of this series!! I’m hooked already!

5 stars!

When I told my brother I’d do anything to save our dad’s restaurant, I should have been more specific. What I’d meant was I’d auction off a couple of old jerseys, not go on a reality dating show in the hopes of boosting business until he could finally retire.

But since I know a thing or two about taking one for the team, I suit up, hop on a plane, and head to a mansion in L.A. where I’ll spend the next eight weeks.

Thankfully, it’s not as bad as I feared. After all, there are worse things in life than spending time with a smart, beautiful woman. And some of the guys I’m competing against are pretty cool, too—when we aren’t trying to outdo one another for her affections.

Only, in a surprise twist absolutely no one saw coming, she’s not the person I’m falling for. The suave, confidant man who sleeps across the hall, however? That’s a whole different story.

MEET THE AUTHOR:

USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Norinne writes sexy romance from the heart. Her heroines will make you laugh and her heroes will make you swoon.

When not banging away at the keyboard, she is watching rugby, playing board games, or drinking a pint of craft beer. Originally from California, she now resides in New England with her husband and two cats where she is renovating a house built in the 1700s and trying valiantly not to be eaten alive by mosquitos.
