Title: Trouble

Author: Gabrielle G

Genre: Contemporary Romance

About Trouble:

There are three things I have to protect: My heart, my scars and my life. Even from my best friend.
Some secrets have the power to change lives.
Or ruin them.
What I didn’t expect was for my best friend to walk away when I needed him most.
I made the only decision I could.
And I have no regrets–even if Lars Trouble can’t handle that.
Now I just have to convince my broken heart it’s better off without him.

***
I don’t do secrets, I hate deceivers and I’m not in love with my best friend.
Or so I thought.
As the man in the shadows, the drummer of the Darling Devils, the person I rely on most is my best friend.
That is until I discover Naomi is a liar.
If walking away from her was hard, learning she isn’t mine to love feels impossible.
And just when I think it’s all finally coming back together, fate steps in and proves me wrong.
But when you love someone, you do the only thing you can. You fight for your love story to begin.

A friends-to-lovers romance to the beat of the Darling Devils – the legends of music.

This novel contains chapters with difficult scenes that might trigger some readers. Please reach out to me for specific details.

Exclusive Excerpt:

“What about this one?” Lars dangles the tiniest bikini he has found in the shop on his finger. It’s more a fingernail than a piece of clothing.

“Perfect, let me try it on first and walk around the shop to be sure everyone appreciates it.”

“No way, woman,” he grunts. “I want you to wear it inside.”

“Why would I wear this inside when I could be naked riding your cock?” I quirk an eyebrow.

“Because suggestive clothing is a veil to desire. I prefer to have a peek behind the curtain than being invited to a show with the curtain wide open,” he shrugs.

“I know. And that’s because you’re a man of the shadows, babe. Buy it if it rocks your world. I’ll wear it for you tonight. But for the beach, I need something covering a lot more.” I continue my search through the rack until I find a cute black bikini. I turn around to show Lars and find him scrutinizing me.

“What?”

“I need to try on my bathing suit,” he says, zooming in on my breasts.

“So stop looking at my tits and go?” I point at the changing room. The shop is the typical surfer shop full of clothes and bracelets made from recycled plastic you find in the ocean. It’s tiny and has a hippie beach vibe to it no one can resist. It even smells like monoi and coconut.

“I can’t.” He smiles. I can see the glimmer in his eyes that it’s nothing serious. Probably, one of his stupid ideas like how he decided he always needs a couple of beers or he will get an earache. To this day, he still believes that if he has only one, his ear will not hurt.

“Why?” I roll my eyes not even waiting for his answer before knowing it’s stupid.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to try on a bathing suit with a hard-on,” he whispers.

“Because you can catch HDD?” I smile.

“HDD?”

“I read it somewhere Lars. If you try on bathing suits with an erection, you might get Hard Dick Disease, and Mr. Selfish will stay in that state for your girlfriend to ride you whenever and wherever she wants. It’s scientifically proven.” I laugh at my own joke. Lars smirks.

“You’re a dork.”

Blurb
It’s a game of exes and oooohs! Enjoy the sizzling new
standalone romance from USA Today bestselling author, Lila Monroe!
I’m an expert in break-ups. From the slow fade, to extreme
ghosting, to, ‘but you never said I couldn’t send pics of my junk to your
step-sister on Instagram’ – I’ve seen it all… and built a mini-empire along the
way. My blog, the Break-Up Artist, uses my past heartache to help people move
on – and avoid weeping on the floor at 3am consuming their body weight in spray
cheese and Oreos. Ahem.
Now, I have a new job that could mean the big-time: helping
a famous Hollywood it-couple navigate their tricky break-up. Except not
everyone wants them Splitsville. The movie studio needs to keep them together
to promote their big movie, and they’ve sent someone to make sure I fail in my
first VIP gig.
Wes Baxter. Also known as my ex.
Also ALSO known as, the guy who broke my heart so
thoroughly, I had to turn myself into a self-help guru just to get over
him. 
I’m determined to follow my own advice (no drooling over
Wes’s perfect abs, or remembering how he rocked my world) but being trapped
together at a luxe country retreat isn’t helping things… And neither is Wes’s
early-morning naked swim habit. Soon, love is in the air, the sparks between us
are hotter than ever, and I’m seriously questioning my ‘no backsies’
policy. 
Wes swears he’s changed. He wants to try again, and he’s got
an annoyingly sexy way of convincing me. But can second chances really work? Or
has the Break-Up Artist finally met her match?

TBRreview
I enjoyed Katie and Wes’s story so much!! Katie has achieved fame and success as a “break-up artist”; helping men and women get out of sticky relationships. And she created this job/industry after getting her heart broken by her ex – Wes.

And then Katie gets the chance of a lifetime but Wes is there. Thankfully, not part of the Hollywood couple she’s hired to help separate but definitely around WAY too much for Katie’s liking.

Wes missed Katie – and didn’t realize it. Since he ran into her, she’s all he’s thought about. And being forced into close quarters with Katie, definitely will make it easier for him.

This was a hysterical story that anyone who has been in a relationship should read. It’s not a self help book but it definitely causes you to look internally.

5 stars!

Excerpt
She flung
open the front door and walked out onto the porch, planting her hands on the
railing and leaning into them. Sucking in a few mouthfuls of cool night air,
she looked up to find Drake standing at the bottom of the stairs, his eyes
reflecting the light coming from the house.
What are you doing out here?” she demanded, embarrassed she’d been
caught less than composed for a second time in an hour.
I could ask you the same thing.”
She
narrowed her eyes at him.
You’re infuriating.”
His mouth
flexed into a sinful smile.
I’ve never been called that before. Stubborn.
Unyielding. Hard.” Jesus.
All of those things.” He climbed the
steps, and she turned to face him.
But never infuriating. I think most people
would be too afraid to tell me that to my face.”
She darted
her gaze to his mouth and let out a shuddering breath.
Why are you out of the house by yourself?”
I’m not by myself. You’re here,” she replied sweetly.
You know what I mean.”
She
bristled, but kept her anger locked down.
I can look after myself.”
Your father has given me a direct order to guard your,” his eyes drifted
down hungrily, “body, and I’m a real stickler for rules and order.”
She glared
at him.
I just bet you are, but you should know I’ll make your life a
nightmare.”
His mouth
curled into a mocking smile.
You already do, sweetheart.”
Shaking her
head, she said,
I don’t need you here when I’m at home. I don’t
even know why you’re still here, lurking outside the front of my house like a
goddamn stalker.”
Your father wants me with you twenty-four-seven, so you’d better get
used to seeing my face.”
She didn’t
miss the fact he didn’t answer her other question.
I still want my privacy.”
Bathroom and shower breaks. All other times, you’re going to think I’m
glued to your ass.”
Wow. That
was an interesting visual, but it wasn’t wholly unappealing.

It isn’t the screaming or crying that shakes me awake. It isn’t the front door being ripped from its hinges or the shattering of the glass coffee table that she is thrown into. What pulls me from the deep recesses of my dream world is the feeling that I’m suffocating. A pressure across my face yanks me from my sleep, my body jumping in response and my eyes flying open.

“Shhhh!” Mila begs me. It’s her little hand that’s covering my mouth. Tears slip down her cheeks and snot runs from her nose. Her tiny frame is shaking inside the flannel nightgown she loves to wear this time of year.

“They’re in the house. They’re hurting Mom,” her young voice cracks. I can tell a sob is waiting to escape. I’m fully awake now, my body moving in sync with my heartbeats. Blood rushes to my ears while I tiptoe across the floor and carefully move my hand to nudge the door open farther. Mila’s hand snakes out, grabbing my arm painfully, as tears fall faster and faster down her face. “No!” She mouths in silence, but damn, the words echo loudly in my brain.

“It’s okay,” I whisper, my hand peeling her fingernails from my skin. I push the door open farther, but not far enough for the hinges to groan. Biting my lip, I turn my head and look out.

R.S. Grey’s new standalone romance, Love the One You Hate is out now! Check it out and grab your copy today!

About Love the One You Hate (OUT NOW!)

 

 

Nicholas Hunt is the man I hate.

For good reason.

 

His opinion of me is tainted by prejudice even before my arrival at his grandmother’s estate, and my first impression of him is just as abysmal.

 

His arrogance and icy demeanor make it clear that he’s the type of man who’s best handled at a distance.

 

Fortunately, space shouldn’t be an issue inside this Gilded Age mansion and its lush gardens. If I stick with the servants and he keeps to his sailboat and vintage Porsche, we should hardly cross paths at all. Unfortunately, at Rosethorn, I find that all roads eventually lead to Nicholas Hunt.

 

Sparks fly as we spar at the dinner table. Fighting words are flung in the shadows of the palatial halls.

 

We hang suspended in our hatred of one another, painfully oblivious to the heat and tension that build with every moment we’re left alone. We’re liable to kill one another, I think…right up until my eyes land on his lips and a new feeling grips hold of me: lust.

 

What’s worse?

He knows it.

 

They say you should keep your enemies close, but when Nicholas tightens his grip on my waist and draws me near, I’m not sure if it’s out of loathing or love.

 

One thing’s for sure—I intend to find out.

New Release ~ The Plus-One Proposal ~ by ~ Cassie Cross

Today we have the release day blitz for The Plus One Proposal by Cassie Cross! Check it out and be sure grab your copy today!

Title: The Plus One Proposal

Author: Cassie Cross

Series: Love Is…

Genre: Contemporary Romance

About The Plus One Proposal:

Peyton Castillo’s life is nearly perfect. She has a job that makes her happy, the perfect apartment, friends who love her, and all the time in the world to do whatever she wants, whenever she wants. She’s single and loving it, but she has a handful of weddings she’s RSVPed to and no plus-one to go with. That’s where Adam Portman, her gorgeous-and-knows-it coworker comes in.

Peyton’s proposal is simple: she’ll complete a work assignment Adam’s been dreading if he agrees to be her date to one of the weddings.

The offer is tempting, but sparks fly when Adam counters with a proposal of his own. That work assignment isn’t the only thing he’s been dreading. His parents’ 30th anniversary celebration is coming up soon and his mother is determined to set him up with her best friend’s daughter, who will be at the party. Adam needs a date to play along and convince his mom he’s off the market, and Peyton is the perfect choice…

Get Your Copy Today!

Exclusive Excerpt:

I give myself one last makeup check in the rearview mirror, swiping off some barely noticeable mascara flakes under my eyes. I touch up my lip gloss and make sure to grab my sweater from the passenger seat, because I’m almost always cold and I know Adam will tease me if I so much as shiver and don’t have it with me.

He catches sight of me almost immediately after I shut my door. He gives me this cute little wave that makes me smile, and I’m left doing that awkward thing where I’m not sure whether to look at him for the rest of the long-ish walk or if I should look away until I get closer.

I settle on a happy medium somewhere between the two, but can feel the weight of his eyes on me during the trip.

When I meet up with him, he greets me with a, “Wow. You look beautiful.” It’s so sincere that it shakes me a little. Not that he hasn’t complimented me before, because he definitely has, it’s just never been so soft and intense, making a little bit of tension thread through the air between us.

“You look good too.” Like I’ve completely lost control of all my bodily function, I reach out and run my fingers along his lapel as I say it. He stares at me for a long, drawn-out moment before the whole weird and strangely thrilling moment is broken by the ringing of the church bells.

“We should probably go in,” he says, voice a little unsteady. He offers me his arm and I take it. “How’s the report coming?”

“Are you trying to make sure that I’m holding up my end of the bargain before you follow through with yours?” I ask, playfully bumping his shoulder with mine.

“If you hadn’t started it, I was planning on taking off.”

“I hope you were planning on doing it in front of everyone so they have something to talk about while the wedding party is taking pictures.”

He gives me this look like, of course. “With you in that dress, they probably already will,” he says with a wink, moving us further into new and uncharted territory.

 

About Cassie:
