<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Some love stories are a slow burn. Others are quick to ignite, scorching and branding your very soul before you’ve taken that first breath. You’re never given a chance to run from it.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">That’s how I’d describe what happened to us.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Everything around me blurred and all that existed were his lips, his touch…
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The chase and the heat between us became addictive.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Our nights together were a distraction; one we craved to the point of letting the world crumble around us.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">We should have paid attention; we should have known that it would come to this.
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">We both knew it couldn’t last, but that didn’t change what we desired most.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">All we wanted was each other…</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Part I Do You Want Me the prequel to This Love Hurts, I have to say for me was tough to get through. Told in first person from a triangle of perspectives this romantic suspense is a tedious slow burn, with hints at heated passion. The foreshadowing start adds only confusion in the wait for the story to progress to something meaningful. You learn about Delilah, whose job as an attorney putting monsters behind bars is her life. Cody, an FBI agent who has a work history with Delilah, as well as a mutual attraction is guarded & has secrets in his past to damning to tell. Their history of working tough murder cases that were never solved, a serial killer still on the loose haunts them. Being completely dedicated to work, & connected by these cases, Delilah & Cody take solace in one another <b>"It's easy to hide in work. Even easier to hide under the sheets and get lost, forgetting who we are and what we do." </b>particularly as Delilah works through family drama & controversy, turned to threats at work that putting her in need of protection. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In Part II This Love Hurts, the story really starts to pick up the pace. Enter <b>"...the man I've heard called a ghost, the grim reaper...the angel of death..." </b>the third member of this triangle. Secrets of the past and the events that connect the three characters finally start to unfold. Leaving with one heck of a cliff hanger & a lot of frustration for the reader at finally getting to the depth of the story, only for it to be over. Full of intrigue, mystery & suspense - perhaps a little to much in fact to hold the attention of this reader.</div>

between Weston Lockwood and me started at the altar.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Only
neither of us attended the wedding, and the nuptials happened decades before
either of us was born.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Our
grandfathers had been best friends and business partners, at least up until my
grandfather’s wedding day—when his bride-to-be blurted out she couldn’t marry
him because she was also in love with Weston‘s grandfather. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The two men
spent years fighting over Grace Copeland, who also happened to be their third
business partner. But in the end, neither man could steal half of her
heart away from the other.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Eventually,
they all went their separate ways. Our
grandfathers married other women, and the two men became one of the biggest
business rivals in history.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Our fathers
continued the family tradition of feuding.
And then Weston and I did, too.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">For the
most part, we kept as much distance as possible.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Until the
day the woman who started the feud died—and unexpectedly left one of the most
valuable hotels in the world to our grandfathers to share.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now I’m
stuck in a hotel with the man I was born to hate, trying to unravel the mess
our families inherited.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">As usual,
it didn’t take long for us to be at each other’s throats. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Weston
Lockwood was everything I hated: tall, smart, cocky, and too gorgeous for his
own good. We were fire and ice. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">But that
shouldn’t be an issue. Our families were used to being at war. There was just
one minor problem, though. Every time
Weston and I fought, we somehow wound up in bed.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Rivals by Vi Keeland, another in a long line of sexy & witty enemies-to-lovers contemporary romances from Vi. This page turner & its impulsively hot headed characters does not disappoint. Fasten your seat belt for push and pull, feuding, explosive chemistry, heart-string pulling story of life struggles that may or may not define Sophie & Weston.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Told in first person from dual perspectives, this story literally takes off with palpable attraction & wit, bringing the personal touch of the hospitality service industry to a whole new level. Sophie intelligent, willful & a real beauty, with trust issues to spare, she is working to prove her worth in a world dominated by her father & grandfather, while tasked with taking on the family rival. She's had a glimpse of what she's up against (literally) with Weston, now she's getting a brand new view of the makings of a good partner in more ways than one. Closed off & protective, carrying baggage full of self-doubt, Weston is a man who pays attention to detail in the boardroom & the bedroom (AMEN). He isn't afraid to do what it takes to get the job done in any room. Loyal to a fault, Weston is <b>"...positively sinful."</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I. LOVE. THIS. BOOK. Sophia & Weston are such a amazing fit. Equal in intellect & tenacity. <b>"...like a tornado and a volcano. It's rare the two meet. But when they do, it's explosive."</b> Such a tangible spark between Sophie & Weston, this whirlwind romance has a level of intimacy & caring, I couldn't get enough of. Their love-hate relationship, with a twist of betrayal & fear of taking a risk; add in the wonderful feel good friendships that bring wisdom of imperfect perfection this life has to offer. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Rachel knew exactly what turning thirty would be like. She had a plan, after all. First college, then a climb up the professional ladder. Love, marriage, children. All of it was on the schedule.<br /><br />The cheap Hollywood apartment wasn’t on the list. Neither was the string of heartbreaks. Or the effect her mother’s cancer had on her career.<br /><br />It’s hard to stay practical and on point when everything takes a left turn.<br /><br />Enter Sebastian, the nerd across the street. The boy she defended when he couldn’t defend himself. The best friend she promised she’d marry if life didn’t go according to plan.<br /><br />Not only is he successful, confident, and gorgeous, but he also still has their handwritten marriage contract.<br /><br />No one goes through with childhood wedding pacts.<br /><br />That’s crazy.<br /><br />But their families might just be crazy enough to rent a hall and set a date. All Rachel and Sebastian have to do is fall in love.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">Only Ever You by CD Reiss, a wonderful coming of age, friends to lovers tale of what happens when life doesn't go as planned. <span style="font-family: "georgia";">A love defining story you won't be able to put down. Prepare to be a simultaneously laughing, gasping, fist pumping & teary eyed - hot mess.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">Told in first person, from dual perspectives, an emotional & funny <strong>"You know what happens to nerds. They get gorgeous and rich."</strong> love story with honesty & grit. You will love Sebastian, vulnerable dweeb turned voice of reason & Rachel, brave heart turned uncertain mess. Holy. Hot. Wow. Sexy <strong>"...gone weak kneed with anticipation." </strong>angst that is as tough to take for the reader as the characters. Heartstring pulling & soul bearing as Sebastian & Rachel get to know each other again. <strong>"...old and new at the same time." </strong>They'll work their way back & come to terms with who they are to themselves & each other. <strong>"...the question of who we were and how we fit." </strong>Striving to ensure the happiness of those they love so very much, all the while wrestling with emotions & fears that come with seeking love, success & overcoming illness. Family & friends that will have you laughing out loud & whispering 'oh no's'.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">The deep rooted friendship between Sebastian & Rachel combined with the courage to do what is right & live without apology makes this one of epic love story. I haven't read a romance like this, that had me so invested in all of the characters so quickly. Couldn't get enough of the witty banter that comes from knowing someone forever. Like coming home.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Blurb</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
My name is Clover Calloway and I’ve lived two separate lives. <br />
<br />
The first, I like to call “my past.” I never talk about it. I try not to think about it. My rockstar days of playing in one of the hottest bands on the planet are over. Along with the most volatile, beautiful, tragic love story of all time. <br />
<br />
Over the past five years, I’ve settled into my second life. My “normal life.” The one where I work a normal job, hang out with normal people and fall in love with a normal, but wonderful guy. The life where I’m admittedly a little bored, but also safe. <br />
<br />
My past wasn’t boring. But my past broke my heart into a million, unfixable pieces. So, I’m determined to keep it where it belongs—behind me. <br />
<br />
And the man responsible for the shattering of me? Malachi Porter, lead singer and mastermind of Bright Tragedy, should stay there too. Far away from me and this idyllic life I’ve carved out for myself. <br />
<br />
But what happens when my two lives collide? <br />
<br />
When Malachi comes crashing into my perfectly normal world, he threatens to destroy it, promises to annihilate everything I’ve replaced him with. <br />
<br />
He upends everything I thought I wanted and forces me to question the reasons I left Bright Tragedy all those years ago. <br />
<br />
But I didn’t walk away five years ago, I ran. As fast as I could go. And while my heart is whispering that it’s different this time—that he’s different—my brain is screaming for me to run again. <br />
<br />
Malachi Porter isn’t a normal guy. And he doesn’t belong in my “normal life.” But, nevertheless, he’s bound and determined to make a place for himself here. <br />
<br />
I just hope my heart can survive him, that we don’t burn into another bright tragedy.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Never Fall in Love with a Rock Star by Rachel Higginson is a fresh take on the Rockstar romance, second chances & coming of age, that go well beyond surface deep. An ultra angsty, heartstring pulling story that gets you in the gut.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From the start you won't be able to help but empathize with Clover, an extraordinary woman who wants nothing more than to fly under the radar after having left the bright tragedy of love & life behind her <b>"I had loved a broken thing because I wanted to fix it. Instead, it had broken me too." </b>Resilient & strong, big hearted & funny - <b>"Someone hold my earrings..." </b>protective of her heart & spirit after the overwhelming heartache she's suffered. A story of recovery from heartbreak & addiction & moving on to discover who these characters are meant to be. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Brought back together when they least expected, r</span>econnecting after years apart, through immense talent & love of music to rescue a song & possibly each other.<b> "...imperfect humans lost in an imperfect love..."</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b></b><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh. My. Goodness.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This story is written with so much emotion, passion & heart. The perfect amount of angst, don't expect some over the top sexy times, but rather the real deal of what true connection can be body & soul.<b> "A love so deep I could feel it with every breath."</b></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>BLURB</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Ice Knights defenseman Zach Blackburn has come down with the flu, and my BFF—his PR manager—begs me to put my nursing degree to use and get him back to health. Of course she would call in a favor for the most hated man in Harbor City.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">But when he’s finally on the mend and I’m sneaking out of his place, everything goes sideways. Paparazzi spot me and pictures, plus accusations that I slept with him, fly faster than a hockey puck.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">At first, all of Harbor City wants my blood—or to give me a girlie-girl makeover. But then…the team finally wins a game. And now this fickle town wants me with the big jerk twenty-four seven.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Argh. I never slept with him the first time! But no one will listen. Then the grumpy bastard goes and promises to break his no-fan-appearances rule to help raise money for a free health clinic—but only if I’m rink-side at every game. That’s not a deal I can turn down.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">But when the team keeps winning, and I realize there’s more to him than his bad reputation, suddenly remembering to keep my real hands off my fake date gets harder and harder to do.</span></div>

<strong><span style="color: cyan; font-size: large;"><br /></span></strong><br />
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Tomboy, the third in Avery's The Hartigans series, I had no idea I would enjoy the crap out of this book three as much I did (& you will too). Between the wounded & undeniably sexy hockey alpha (-with metal bars piercing his nipples - holy wow), & the tomboy with unapologetic spirit & fierce nature to protect those who need it most, this hilariously snarky wit, hot sexy angst <strong>"Curious. Needy. Wanting more." </strong> filled story - you won't be able to put it down. </span></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I don't know what drew me in more. Maybe it was the hockey? <strong>"...oh, for the love of Wayne Gretzky's and Martin Brodeur's love child."</strong> Mama Hartigans double jack & coke? Most definitely the hockey god whose had it all wrong when it comes to the kind of treatment that is deserved & the kind that is earned, versus the crazy family that has so much love & sass <strong>"...when it comes to the people we love, we do whatever it takes."</strong> Fighting the good fight through betrayal & trust, with friends who have your back whether you ask or not. I just can't even with this book right now. </span></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="border-image: none;">
I love Fallon & the way her <strong>"...I-will-call-you-on-all-of-your-bullshit attitude..." </strong>does the very opposite of deterring Zach. The ease & <strong>"I've got you." </strong>trust between these characters will get you in the gut. Getting two stubborn, scrapper personalities together has never been sexier.</div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<strong>"#TeamTakeMeNow"</strong></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="border-image: none;">
Be prepared to be left between not being able to take the prospect of the Ice Knights series & wanting to know why they aren't in your greedy hands already!</div>

<strong><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Synopsis:</span></strong></h1>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Kitty was not only beautiful but also incredibly intelligent—except when it came to relationships. It seemed if a guy was a loser, corrupt, deadbeat or unavailable, she was completely and utterly attracted to him. She definitely had a “type,” and <i>all of them</i> had been one bad decision after another.</span><br />
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Dallas had trouble of his own. Finding women wasn’t a problem—he could charm the pants off almost anyone—but most of those “pantless” women ended up being a few bananas short of a fruit basket. Not always the best candidates for his sex-without-strings philosophy. He was one date away from ending up a <i>60 Minutes</i> special.</span><br />
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">While both of them were at the top of their game professionally—she a high-powered executive assistant, and he one of the best tattooists in the city—their personal lives had become a dumpster fire.</span><br />
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">No one in their right mind would have suggested they join forces to help each other wade through the crazy. Surely that was a recipe for disaster? But without reason, logic or even sanity on their side, they decided to do it anyway.</span><br />
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It was a hot mess primed for a head-on collision.</span></div>

In a world where these characters couldn't be more alike, yet totally different ~ this lovers-to-friends, to-lovers story is not what you might expect of a super hot romance. It is full of hope, heart & life changing lightbulb moments that shine on the truth of self worth & perspective<b> "I used to think it wasn't possible for me to have it all.

Frazier's Perversion Trilogy ties every plot line up in a tight bow - while adding gasp worthy moments. Be prepared to find yourself hand over mouth, whispering "No." one moment, only to pull it away in the next saying "What!?!?" <strong>"...one shock after another."</strong> </span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">A true nail biting & heart string pulling conclusion to what has been a whirlwind gangster Romeo & Juliet tale. <strong>"Capable of both life and death. Hate and love." </strong>This book hits the ground running right where Possession finished off. Survival of the fittest, where villains & allies are revealed, and a million questions are asked. Boundless love & sacrifice for family shines through <strong>"A mother's love knows no boundaries. No laws. Neither does a fathers." </strong>Beyond sexy, raw & romantic. <br /><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><strong>"Give ourselves to one another completely. With love, passion, and permission."</strong><br /><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">A perfect ending to a trilogy that I didn't want to end. I loved the continued suspense & ever increasing deeps of love between all these characters. A fantastic read & great trilogy binge read!<br /><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-weight: 400;">Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-weight: 400;">Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity's notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity likely didn't intend for anyone to read. Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity's recollection of the night their family was forever altered. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-weight: 400;">Lowen decides to keep the manuscript hidden from Jeremy, knowing its contents would devastate the already grieving father. But as Lowen's feelings for Jeremy begin to intensify, she recognizes all the ways she could benefit if he were to read his wife's words. After all, no matter how devoted Jeremy is to his injured wife, a truth this horrifying would make it impossible for him to continue to love her.<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></span></div>

I'm a big fan of Colleens - but honestly, how could anyone not be? I wasn't sure what to expect with Verity, a true psychological thriller of a romance - but I can tell you I sure as hell didn't expect what I got. <strong>"Disturbing is putting it mildly."</strong> So well written the panic & terror are palpable. Oh. My. God. this book is right up there with Steven King & M Night Shyamalan, yet with a love story that sucks you in & will have you so conflicted. Shocking, sexy & mysterious, with Colleens classic wit & sarcasm. Tragedies that bring you through a full range of emotions, from shock & heartbreak to disgust, love & heart stopping fear. <br />
<br />
<br />
I couldn't put this one down, even when I wanted to. The ending, wholly crap - I can't even... Cringe-worthy at the start <strong>"Ugly and honest..."</strong> By the end, you won't know what to believe - or if you are like me, how to feel. A story that will make you rethink what people might be capable of in pursuit of love & success, then have you questioning assumptions you yourself make everyday...what you should believe <strong>"...to separate our reality from fiction..."</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
READ THIS BOOK, you just may not want to do it when you are alone.<br />
<br />
<br />
Well done Colleen - you've truly <strong>"...pushed the envelope..." </strong>with this remarkable tale.<br />

Bad Reputation by S.L. Scott is a brilliant take on second chance royal romance. A story that is standalone, don't miss out on the pseudo-prequel romantic suspense Everest & The Crow Brothers books - full of crossover characters you'll meet during this fantastic read.<br />
<br />
Told in first person, from dual perspectives, Bad Reputation is loaded with <b>"Want. Lust. Need." </b>that will have you completely captivated from the start. What begins as a hot romantic tryst turns into wanting more. So much angst before true feelings are revealed. So many questions with <b>"A hurricane of truths..." </b>you won't see coming. Heartstrings pulling, emotionally raw & real <b>"You're the fairy-tale ending I wish I could have." </b>Close family ties between siblings, friends who may be foe. A story of two worlds colliding, of being torn between duty & heart, of finding the person you were meant to be <b>"...it's up to us to create our destiny..." </b>& of what family can be.<br />
<br />
I love the strong female role model elements & message to never be less than extraordinary. Just couldn't get enough of the soul deep attraction & connections that every girl dreams of. But what got me most is the hardy love & support that shines through. <b>"Camaraderie. Friendship. Family."</b> Can we have more S.L.? A little somethin' somethin' for Bennett... <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hoax knows two things very well. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One, he’s not relationship material. Two, the nurse that treats him for erectile dysfunction is the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen, and practically has ‘the marrying type’ stamped on her forehead.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Unfortunately, he learned a long time ago that Army Delta Force and long-lasting relationships don’t go hand in hand. But beautiful hazel eyes, curly blonde hair, and the prettiest lips he’s ever seen play havoc with his resolve, making him forget his earlier convictions. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">All it takes is one teeny, tiny kiss for every shred of control he has to disappear, along with the problem in his pants. Soon he finds himself doing things that he knows that he shouldn’t. He doesn’t know that he’s found the woman that’s meant to be his. Nor does he realize that her father is the man he’s idolized from the moment he joined the army at the age of eighteen. Because, maybe if he had, he would’ve tried a little harder to ignore the pull he felt between them instead of making her his the night before he deployed for six months. </span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">SYNOPSIS:</span><br />
</span><br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black; margin: 0px;">It all started with a mysterious blue note sewn into a wedding dress.</span> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black; margin: 0px;">Something blue.</span> <span style="color: black; margin: 0px;"></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black; margin: 0px;">I’d gone to sell my own unworn bridal gown at a vintage clothing store. That’s when I found another bride’s “something old.”</span> <span style="color: black; margin: 0px;"></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black; margin: 0px;">Stitched into the lining of a fabulously feathered design was the loveliest message I’d ever read: Thank you for making all of my dreams come true.</span> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black; margin: 0px;">The name embossed on the blue stationery: Reed Eastwood, obviously the most romantic man who ever lived. I also discovered he’s the most gorgeous. If only my true-love fantasies had stopped there. Because I’ve since found out something else about Mr. Starry-Eyed.</span> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black; margin: 0px;">He’s arrogant, cynical, and demanding. I should know. Thanks to a twist of fate, he’s my new boss. But that’s not going to stop me from discovering the story behind his last love letter. A love letter that did not result in a happily ever after.</span> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black; margin: 0px;">But that story is nothing compared to the one unfolding between us. It’s getting hotter, sweeter, and more surprising than anything I could have imagined.</span> <span style="color: black; margin: 0px;"></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black; margin: 0px;">Something new.</span> <span style="color: black; margin: 0px;"></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black; margin: 0px;">But I have no idea how this one is going to end . . .</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The only thing about me that’s a size zero is the filter on my mouth. I’ve got a big personality, a big rack, and a big number on the scale. And I’m perfectly fine with that.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But when some random guy suggests I might not be eating alone if I’d ordered a salad instead of a hamburger I’m shocked silent, which is a feat, trust me.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have no problem telling him I don’t need a pity date . . . unless of course it’s to my high school reunion next week. Oops where did that last bit come from? And what do I do now that he’s said yes?!</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Because this is no make-over story, and I think Frankie is using me for something. I just have to figure out what…</span><br />

Second in the series, this hot contemporary romance, like the book before, is the perfect mix of hilarious wit, heartfelt romance & sultry hot sexiness <b>"This wasn't foreplay. This was a religious experience."</b> I love Lucy (not the show) & not only her fierce confidence, but the way she can give <b>"...a look that managed to say "oh shit" and "keep your mouth shut" at the same time. Now that was skill." </b>Franky is a fire fighting workaholic who loves the ladies as much as they love him <b>"His eyes did that thing again that made her ovaries volunteer as tribute."</b> While he's taking time off from one, he's decided to put himself in a time-out from the other. These characters face insecurities, self-doubt & self imposed survival mechanisms together, to find a new perspective on life & to learn to <b>"Stop being so cautions and live a little"</b> Supporting family & friends you'll love. With a twist or two that will give insight to how these characters became who they are. </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Princess Lenora Celeste Beatrice Arabella Pembrook had an unusual childhood. She was raised to be a Queen—the first Queen of Wessco.<br /><br />It’s a big deal.<br /><br />When she’s crowned at just nineteen, the beautiful young monarch is prepared to rule. She’s charming, clever, confident and cunning.<br /><br />What she isn’t… is married.<br /><br />It’s her advising council’s first priority. It’s what Parliament is demanding, and what her people want.<br /><br />Lenora has no desire to tie herself to a man—particularly one who only wants her for her crown. But compromises must be made and royals must do their duty.<br /><br />Even Queens. Especially them.<br />**<br />Years ago, Edward Langdon Richard Dorian Rourke, walked away from his title and country. Now he’s an adventurer—climbing mountains, exploring jungles, going wherever he wants, when he wants—until family devotion brings him home.<br /><br />And a sacred promise keeps him there.<br /><br />To Edward, the haughty, guarded little Queen is intriguing, infuriating…and utterly captivating. Wanting her just might drive him mad—or become his greatest adventure.<br />**<br />Within the cold, stone walls of the royal palace—mistrust threatens, wills clash, and an undeniable, passionate love will change the future of the monarchy forever.<br /><br />Every dynasty has a beginning. Every legend starts with a story.<br /><br />This is theirs.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #181818; display: inline; float: none; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 21px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #f1c232; display: inline; float: none; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 21px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><b><br /></b></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I read this book in a day. Absolutely loved my very first Emma Chase read. Royally Yours (Royally #4) by Emma Chase has it all - love, death & everything in between. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">You won't be able to get enough of Lenora, her innocence turned to fierce strength. Miriam, Lenora's wild, free spirited sister & the family bond that is stoic on the outside, but full of love on the inside. Thomas & Edward ~ so different, yet the same in heart & spirit. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Sorrowful, romantic, sexy & joy filled. A gasp worthy story of heart wrenching loss, struggle, true friendship & love ~ of finding life's purpose, meeting challenges & coming home to a queen & her new reign.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: x-large;">Blurb:</span></b><br /><br /> Trailer park born and raised. It’s my legacy. That’s how my mama lived. And that’s how her mama lived. It’s the life I was born into and it’s the life I swore I would leave the second I was old enough to make it out.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Seven years later, I’ve resigned myself to this small town and the roots I’m tied to. Nothing could make me leave. And nothing could make me spill the secrets that keep me here.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Levi Cole is my opposite. Born on the right side of the tracks with family money to spare, he’s the kind of black sheep that can afford to be rebellious—because his family will always pay for his mistakes. He’s also the only living heir to Cole Family Farms, after his brother Logan was killed in duty seven years ago.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He sees something in my life that he thinks he has a right to. But he’s wrong. And obnoxious. And he needs to take his stubborn good looks and that intense way he looks at me and go back to wherever it was he came from. </span></div>

Especially from gorgeous, kind, pigheaded men like him.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Trailer Park Heart by Rachel Higginson is a beautiful coming of age, second chance romance that will have you so hooked by the prologue, you won't be able to put down. Angsty, funny & sweet, this sexy, emotion filled & heart wrenching tale will make your heart feel full.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">You will be instantly drawn in by the <strong>"...lifetime of tug-of-war familiarity..." </strong>between these characters <strong>"This man was my nemesis and yet he'd managed to light up my entire body with the tiniest touch and the smell of clean laundry." </strong> Secrets & surprise twists you won't see coming are what are in store. <strong> </strong>A <strong>"...life-altering, soul-shattering, world-rocking kiss." </strong>an irresistible pull, passion & the ability to be seen like no other ever had. <strong> </strong>Friendships old & new, of the tried & true kind - Lessons in <strong>"...passion and promise, anger and truth." </strong>Learning to let go of the burdens of <strong>"...regret and humiliation and fear." </strong>& let others in.<strong> </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Written with so much heart, the genuine tenderness can't help but shine through. I struggled with this review because I don't want to give away to much & spoil the pure beauty. Couldn't get enough of Ruby's independence & fierce protectiveness of those she holds most dear - without apology. Levi & the way he makes Ruby feel seen - knows her so well. So much raw emotion, I absolutely loved this story. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">"...life is hard and heavy..." "...but its also beautiful and so full of joy and laughter and...purpose."</span></strong><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Saint by JB
Salsbury, book 2 of her Mercy duet, this is the sexy contemporary romance & mystery thriller conclusion to Mercy & Milo's story. Picking up right where the Ghostgirl epic cliffhanger left off, Saint with Milo <b>"...doing what was best for those I love. You know what they say. Hindsight is a bitch."</b> A romance entwined with drug cartels & international human trafficking...</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The connection between these characters continues to extend past the physical, toward soul deep, heart wrenching emotion. While Milo risks all for revenge, Mercy struggles to hold on to the man she loves<b> "Forever. You and me. Not a single thing on earth will ever come between us." </b>all the while fighting to be free once more from a all new kind of imprisonment. Secrets, vengeance & lies <b>"For your protection, it's better that you don't know." </b>A wild ride as a new mystery unfolds, one evil put behind them only to fight another. <b>"There is so much evil in the world. No matter what I do, I can't seem to get away from it." </b>A story of a savior, of healing of body & soul ~ finding faith in humanity & seeking destined purpose in this world. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I love seeing these characters grow into themselves <b>"I realize I'm not an angel, that I have no supernatural powers, but that doesn't mean I can't make a difference in a person's life."</b> So much love & affection. An ending that won't disappoint.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rhys Rivera is the star short-stop for the Longview Lumberjacks. Many know him, even more love him. He has a pretty face, a quick smile, and an air of danger about him that everyone seems to adore.</span>
</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">It all started with his father, who decided to be a criminal mob boss, then die.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">
</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fortunately for his uncle, Rhys wants absolutely nothing to do with the family business and runs before anyone can figure out which way is up.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">

That shoe coming in the form of a nosy neighbor who has no idea just how hot she is in her mail carrier uniform.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Her sweet little body and positive outlook on life make him want to laugh at how naïve she is when it comes to the way of the world.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The harder he tries to stay away, the weaker he seems to get, until one day he decides to put his morals on hold long enough to satisfy his cravings.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">

<span style="font-weight: 400;">But then two pink lines change everything, and all of a sudden, he doesn’t have just himself to worry about anymore.</span></span>

Listen, Pitch by Lani Lynn Vale is book 3 in her There's No Crying in Baseball series, but can totally be read as a standalone. I say this with certainty, because it is exactly what I did.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Told in first person, from dual perspectives this is a bad boy, sports, mob, angsty contemporary romance that will have you chasing the next page turning twist. Sarcastic, sexy banter & heartwarming suspense all in one. Henley & Rhys are perfectly matched - <strong>"I don't want Netflix and Chill. I want Amazon Prime and Commitment. -Henley's secret thoughts" "Rivera? He was hella attractive, he had a great personality, he was hard working... and he cared." </strong>These characters had me on the edge of my seat - life, death & everything in between before it's all said & done. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Enjoy the ride as these two team up to make sure the underdog lands on top.</div>

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large; font-weight: 400;"><strong>MY REVIEW</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-weight: 400;">He’s a player.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-weight: 400;">He plays the bass with expert fingers. He plays women with intoxicating charm. And he’ll play me with the ease of a virtuoso.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-weight: 400;">Who better to teach me to play than the master himself?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-weight: 400;">I’m his model student, front row, pencil sharp. Pick up lines? I’ve got them. Free drinks? By the dozen. Kissing? Let me grab my chapstick.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-weight: 400;">But the most valuable lesson I’ve learned is that there’s so much I don’t know. Like why his touch sets off a chain reaction straight to my nethers. Or how I’m certain each kiss is the best I’ll ever have, until the moment his lips take mine again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-weight: 400;">There’s so much I don’t know.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>

Player by Staci Hart is a hot contemporary romantic comedy that reminded me of that Freddie Prinz Jr. movie "She's All That" Set around a New York City Broadway musical orchestra & musicians looking for sex & love. Awareness of self & what this life has to offer the heart if you take the risk.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Told in first person, from dual perspectives this page turner will have you laughing out loud from the start <strong>"I had a vibrator and internet access. What more could a girl want?"</strong> Val & her <strong>"Four glorious wallflowers." </strong>roommates & best friends are so much fun. Supportive & caring, with quirks all their own. Sam, a man with a heart of gold & all he could want out of life. Drawn to Val, to protect her from guys like he thinks himself to be. Protection that brings these two together for lessons in how to snag a guy - quickly turn dangerously - into lessons in trust & of heart break. In the end <strong>"It's about figuring out what you want and going after it." </strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This story is sexy & sweet, full of taking chances & embracing beauty, inside & out. Loving your true self & letting others do the same. <strong>"...unexpected harmony."</strong></div>

Ridge by S.L. Scott, the 4th installment of her The Crow Brothers series - can be read as a standalone, but I don't recommend that. Simply because you would be missing out on 3 more amazing novels from S.L. including some spectacular story's & cross over characters. This rock star romance series is one you won't want to miss.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Told from dual perspectives, with flashback & inner monologue action throughout. This coming of age, second chances rock star romance is angsty & heart wrenching all the way to it's roller coaster "will they", "won't they" end. <b>"Playful. Sexy. Fun."</b> & <b>"A stunning mess of emotions." </b>From the start, nothing is clearer than what Meadow & Ridge have is nothing serious - not meant to last. Meadow is coming into her own & doesn't want anything getting in the way of her master plan - never need to depend on anyone & most definitely not looking for "the one". Dave is working his way threw embracing his success in doing what he loves, while having to sacrifice being there for those he holds most dear. With wonderful relationships among siblings, band mates & friends who are family. This is a story of great chemistry, but timing that is less than ideal. <b>"...it's not always easy even if it's meant to be." </b><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: black; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">So much heat - desire</span><b style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> "So bad.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Synopsis:</span></strong></div>
</h1>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b id="gmail-docs-internal-guid-8f97f557-7fff-6c7d-1d5a-e0f4b115f9c3">Landing a writing gig in Hollywood was just as difficult as becoming an actor, and something Claire Becker had learned the hard way.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sure, she didn’t have to conform to ridiculous beauty standards and give up her love for raw cookie dough, but the sting of rejection burned all the same. The only things that kept her sane were her two amazing roommates and her guilty pleasure—writing fan-fiction.
</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Getting lost in her own world, she’d forget that she had yet to land her dream job, and instead spent time with her dream man—Nick Larsson. Well, at least in the literary sense. Too bad he wasn’t aware or an active participant—her fictional love life, outstanding.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Tall, good-looking and sexy beyond comprehension, Nick Larsson not only had a famous last name—and four equally smoldering brothers—but was talented beyond belief. A star on the rise with a critically acclaimed series, his body and face were what fantasy scripts—and dreams—were made of. Made for some pretty steamy writing opportunities too.
</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And yes, it was probably “wrong” for Claire to objectify him, but it wasn’t like anyone knew about it. Just her, and her two amazing, supportive roommates.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Or at least they were amazing and supportive, and bound to be missed after Claire killed them.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In a moment of unexplained insanity, one of them —or both, each as bad as the other—sent her latest installments to the man himself.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Cue panic of epic proportions.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">All Claire needed to do was sneak into his apartment and retrieve the misappropriated story before Nick, or anyone else, read it and mistook her for a creepy stalker. Although, breaking and entering probably wouldn’t convince anyone to the contrary either.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Claire was going to get the best material of her life, or end up with a restraining order. Either way, the story was getting a hell of lot more interesting.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">#1 Muse by T. Gephart, book 5 in her #1 series, this contemporary romance can be read as a standalone - which is exactly what I did. Funny <strong>"Sure, I could diet, work out six hours a day, and become a size zero, but I valued joy, happiness and cookie dough over a skinny ass."</strong> sexy & sweet this angsty romance will not disappoint. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Set in the mecca of Hollywood & all the demands of the entertainment industry. Making her way to the forefront of screenwriters, Claire can use all the help she can get <strong>"Nick inspired me, excited me, and lit a fire in me I hadn't experience in a while. He was...My. Muse." </strong>Just like Nick, this story is <strong>"...definitely flirty. And charming. And sexy. And playful. Super hot as well."</strong> full of all the things, love & friendship should be. There are bumps before it's all said & done - <strong>"Lust, love, anger, hurt, confusion and passion..." </strong>working through trust & doubt, testing whether dreams can come true.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I loved the flirty banter. The supporting character friendships that are loyal, endearing & heartwarmingly sweet. Funny & entertaining, a great read!</span></div>

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">BLURB</span></h1>
<h1 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">My brother's best friend has a proposition for me. Have I mentioned he's a sexy single dad? Tell me more... </span></h1>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">There are a million reasons why Miles Hart isn't the man I should date but allow me to enumerate the top three. He's friends with my brother, he's a single dad, and he's a sexy, in-demand rock star. He might as well wear an off-limits, totally unavailable, and don't-even-attempt-to-ride-this-ride sign. <br />Then he asks me to be his plus-one when his band plays at his high school reunion, and the night unfolds in ways I never expect. <br />*** <br />I have three good reasons to keep my hands off Roxy Sterling--her brother's my business manager and good buddy, my kid is the center of my world, and the last time I fell hard for a woman I was burned so badly that my interest in relationships has gone up in flames. But once I bring Roxy's body next to mine on the dance floor, I want all the not-safe-for-work things I can't have with her. So I make a proposition.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Talkin' Trash by Lani Lynn Vale, the second in her new Motor Cycle Club contemporary romance series, The Bear Bottom Guardians MC. Set in small town Bear Bottom, Texas, USA, this is a white hot sexy contemporary romance that is so super funny, romantic, angsty & sweet. Be prepared to laugh out loud during this fast pace read - another book to get you hooked on the Bear Bottom Guardians MC series.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Told in first person, from dual perspectives, this "will they", "won't they" second chancesromance is full of witty sarcastic banter & wonderful chemistry <strong>"...our attraction to each other had never been one of our problems." </strong>while also angsty & heart wrenchingly romantic. Between Linc with his <strong>"I'm-sexy-as-fuck beard."</strong> & Conleigh <strong>"...not a girly girl." </strong>the struggle of pride is real. On the one hand, overprotectiveness for a shot at something better, while on the other fighting the inevitable in an effort to avoid a broken heart. <strong>"...trying to protect yourself, while he's trying to protect you." </strong>Trust is tested & belief in each other will bring out the best of friends, family & love.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Fragments of Ash by Katy Regnery is a dark tale of a young woman born to a single mother led astray by the temptations of life, only to be abandoned in a time of dire need. Ashley, isolated & unknowingly a practical mirror reflection of the life her mother wanted to protect her from. <strong>"Dreaming of something, but scared it won't come true." </strong></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This Cinderella-esk tale with a twist is complete with a chillingly evil stepfather. The contempt of the family & lack of love or even caring is heart breaking. <strong>"...of being alone, of being unwanted, of being frightened..." </strong>Cruel & crude - shocking abuse, emotional & physical. Making the idea of kindness, difficult to believe. Escape in search of finding the ever eluding safety. Falling into a haven under the protection of a man with his own secrets, closed off to trusting anyone. The chemistry is palpable, lust that beyond intense. You'll be on the edge of your seat as the story unfolds - secrets revealed, compassion, kindness, romance & desire shine through. <strong>"...learning that sometimes love isn't in the words we say, but in how we give and what we sacrifice..." </strong></span></div>
