✵✵✵COMING JUNE 7!✵✵✵
Sometimes the wrong choices bring us to the right places.

When I meet David Carmichael it’s as if the universe offered him as an apology for my life up to this point.

With his protective arm around me, he promises to keep me safe from the demons of my not-so-distant past.

But David has demons of his own … and even if meeting him felt like destiny, maybe karma isn’t so cut and dry.

Bad things happen to good people every day … and everyone is hiding something.

A house of cards will inevitably fall … I just hope the one we’ve built won’t end up in flames.

✵✵Prologue #SneakPeek ✵✵

Michelle

I never thought I’d be the girl with a gun in her face. Someone like me isn’t supposed to understand the way fear boils in your gut when you stare at the business end of a deadly weapon.

But here we are. I guess bad guys don’t understand that bad things shouldn’t happen to good girls.

He thumbs the hammer and fear sears through my veins like fire down a fuse. The tiny click might as well be a lightning strike. Chills race across my skin and I forget what it means to breathe.

“Is this what you want?” My husband steps towards me, the gun trembling in his hands as spittle flies from his lips. “Or is it this?” He presses the thing against his temple and I run from the room, chased by the demons in his head.

I grab my daughter, her wrist fragile in my fist. “Why is he doing this, Mommy?”

I press a hand to my chest, begging my heart to slow while I hold in the bits and pieces that crack off and crumble inside me. I pull my daughter down the hallway, her little feet stumbling behind me as her father lumbers out of our bedroom.

“Damn it, Michelle! Get your ass back here!” His voice eats through my resolve like acid through metal.

I grab my phone before I lose my nerve. Dial 911 as I race out of our home, praying the neighbors open the door in time.

“Why, Mommy? Why is he doing this?” Claire’s wide eyes stand out like little moons in the dark.

“Because,” I say as I run across the yard, grass clippings sticking to my bare feet. “I told him he couldn’t anymore.”

Now Live! My Best Friend’s Ex, by Meghan Quinn

SBPRBanner-MyBestFriendsEX-RB

My Best Friend’s Ex, an all new sexy, laugh out loud romantic comedy from Meghan Quinn is now LIVE!

MyBestFriendsEx

My Best Friend’s Ex by Meghan Quinn
Publication Date: June 1st, 2017

Genre: Contemporary Romance

 

 

Synopsis

 

When I found an eviction notice taped on my apartment door, I had two options: find a comfortable cardboard box to call home, or move in with Tucker Jameson.

Seeing that cardboard makes me feel itchy, I chose the latter. Which shouldn’t be that big of a deal since Tucker is one of my good friends. And because he’s still pining after his ex-girlfriend and I’m trying to finish my nursing degree, there is nothing to worry about in the romance department, making my last semester an easy one to conquer.

Boy, was I wrong.

Rules are set, dinners are made, conversations are had, and a shirtless, swoony roommate walks around in nothing but a pair of black briefs, ruining me for every other man.

Before I know it, I turn into a panting, lust-filled woman begging for Tucker to kiss me, touch me, and show me exactly what is hiding under those briefs.

But with great orgasms, comes great consequences.

Tucker might be my friend and roommate but he’s also my best friend’s ex-boyfriend, making him completely off-limits. At least that’s what my brain is telling me, my heart is speaking an entirely different language.

About the Author:

A BLONDE AT HEART

Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.

Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking.

​Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

Teaser Reveal: Changing Hearts, by Terri E. Laine

Changing Hearts an all-new romance by Terri E. Laine is coming June 8th!

June 1st teaser (1).jpg

Most people see Sawyer Cargill as a gorgeous but cocky guy who doesn’t take anything seriously including the trail of hearts he’s left behind.

 

But there’s so much more beyond the jokes and the sexual innuendos; behind the mask he so carefully wears. It’s in the way he takes care of others, including me. It’s in the glimpses of the pain he carries in his soul.

 

I see him for who he really is. I know his heart is capable of changing from thorns and ice to love and flame.

 

It’s more than a little hero worship. I’m in love with him.

 

But, I’m not the only point of this triangle. Someone else who is important to us loves him too. How can there be joy if he chooses me when I know the other person will be hurt?

 

Together he and I will have to figure that out because when I have him, I won’t let him go.

Seeing his role in Ruby’s dilemma, Bane offers her a permanent job as his live-in pet sitter until she can get back on her feet.

Edge of Truth by Brynn Kelly

Release Date: May 30th, 2017

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Tensions sizzle in this electrifying novel guaranteed to capture your heart and take your breath away. Fans of Julie Garwood, Suzanne Brockmann and Jayne Ann Krentz will devour this action-packed, emotionally stunning tour de force, where every page reveals another damning secret and daring gamble.

Rotting in an African dungeon is the last place journalist Tess Newell expected to find herself. As she’s held hostage by the terrorist group she’s investigating, Tess’s salvation–and temptation–arrives in the form of another prisoner. A French Foreign Legionnaire with a sinful smile and too many secrets to be anything but dangerous. Yet she knows he’s her only hope of surviving.

The Legion is the only family Flynn has. His sanctuary and his purgatory, after years spent in hell. When a mission goes south and Flynn is captured, it’s not the enemy that worries him, but the brazen, alluring reporter whose prying questions threaten to bring down his world–and the walls he’s built around his heart.

Yet after a daring escape, Flynn must risk it all and go on the run with Tess to retrieve the evidence she needs. The chemistry between them threatens to detonate but, with the enemy fast closing in, time is running out to unravel the truth from the lies in this deadly conspiracy…

Sunny Shelly’s Review: The Way Back Home, by Carmen Jenner

 

Title: The Way Back Home
Author: Carmen Jenner
Genre: Military Romance
Release Date: May 29, 2017

 

Blurb

 

August Cotton shouldn’t be here. When a tragic accident
calls him home to Magnolia Springs, this returned Veteran adds his parents to
the list of things he’s lost in recent years, right along with his IED
detection dog and his left leg. As the sole guardian of his four-year-old
sister, August must rely on his Marine training in raising a tiny hellion who’s
as stubborn as he is. But the Corps could never prepare him for this. Nor could
they prepare him for Olivia Anders, a woman who’ll stop at nothing to get her
way.
 
As owner of Paws for Cause, Olivia is no stranger to the
broken men and women who return home from war. She’s no stranger to broken dogs
either. In fact, she’s made it her mission to pair the two and enrich both of
their lives, but pairing ornery and aloof August Cotton will take some work.
The last thing August wants is some pushy southern woman occupying his parents’
bed and breakfast and forcing him to open up about the hell he narrowly
escaped, but that’s exactly what Olivia intends.
 
They complete one another, and yet they can’t stand to be in
the same room.
 
Can Olivia make this hardened Marine feel again and finally
show his heart the way back home?

 

 
*** Intended for a mature 18+ audience only. This book may
contain triggers for some readers.
Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars 

<!–

The Way Back Home was the second Carmen Jenner book I’ve read, and while it did not leave me sobbing the way Harley & Rose did, TWBH certainly is full of heightened emotions and an intense love affair. It is a standalone novel, but Olivia was a character from a previous Jenner book, Towards The Sound Of Chaos. I have not read TTSOC yet and did not feel like I was missing out on anything surrounding Olivia’s backstory, so props to Jenner for fully fleshing out the character here and not leaving holes in the story for readers who haven’t read the previous book.

When Olivia arrives in tiny Magnolia Springs to set up her Paws For Cause animal shelter, which pairs service dogs with servicemen and women suffering from PTSD in the hopes of assisting the veterans to reintegrate into society, she really has her work cut out for her when she meets amputee August Cotton. The Marine is absolutely drowning in survivor’s guilt and has just about shut the world out, but must force himself to live another day now that he’s responsible for his orphaned preschooler sister. August seemingly hates Olivia upon first sight, but there is something about the sullen and brooding guy that she feels intensely connected to, and the psychologist feels a stronger desire than ever before to help this potential client find peace. But August doesn’t believe that he deserves peace, much less happiness, as a result of the things he’s done in war.

Both August and Olivia have inner demons that they battle on a daily basis due to his PTSD and her experience with domestic violence, and every step forward that they make results in three steps backwards. Even though I felt like smacking some sense into August at times because he is so aloof and distant and a bit of a jerk, I was still rooting for the two of them to get together. The couple’s journey is a bit twisted and tangled, but Jenner has penned a beautiful tale, one that really opened my eyes to what the men and women who fight for our country go through upon their return home.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Excerpt


“You know, if you want to see me naked and sweaty, all you have to do is
ask, darlin’.”
“I do not . . . I wasn’t . . .” My words are stolen from me as he stalks
forward with a maddening smirk on his face. “What are you doing?”
“Getting tired of waiting for you to be okay with this.”
“August, we talked about boundaries.” I press my hand to his chest
because he’s too close, and I can’t think straight with the heady scent of his
sweat and sandalwood soap distracting me. It wasn’t my intention to run my hand
over that sweat, to feel the hard-won muscle beneath, but here I am, petting
him as if he’s my favorite kitty.
“No. You talked about boundaries. I told you I was gonna fight, and I
ain’t above fightin’ dirty.”
“How dirty?” I breathe.
August’s lips curl up into a smile. “So dirty.”
Both hands snake around my waist and he lifts me onto the counter,
wedging his hips between my thighs. He hooks a finger in the sash and unties my
robe as if he were opening a gift made just for him. I wrap my legs around his
hips to pull him closer, and that’s all the admission he needs. He threads a
hand through my hair and pulls my neck back to expose the tender flesh to his
mouth. I close my eyes and whisper his name as my whole body turns to flame,
starved for the oxygen that only his touch can bring. His hot mouth trails down
my neck, his hands cup my breasts, squeezing, kneading, and I slide a hand
between us, into the waistband of his shorts. I take his hard length in my
hand, stroking him from base to tip. August grunts as he pushes my negligee out
of the way with frenzied hands. His fingers find me bare and exposed with no
panties.
“So fucking’ dirty,” he groans, wetting his lips.

Cover Reveal: Bad Penny, by Staci Hart

BAD PENNY CR BANNER.jpg

Bad Penny, an all-new romantic comedy standalone from Staci Hart is coming June 15th!

cover-wrap-penny.png

Title: Bad Penny

Author: Staci Hart

Cover Designer: Quirkybird Designs

Photographer: Lauren Watson Perry

Synopsis

Nothing good comes after the third date.

See, date three is the crucial point when things get real, which is exactly why I bounce out the door, twiddling my fingers at whatever poor boy I’ve left behind. Because if I stick around, one of three things will happen: he’ll profess his undying love, he gets weird and stalky, or I’ll go crazy. Like, Sid and Nancy crazy. Like, chase-him-through-the-streets-begging-him-to-love-me crazy.

Seriously, it’s better for everyone this way.

So when I meet Bodie, I figure it’ll be the same as it ever was. It doesn’t matter that he doesn’t put a single string on me. Doesn’t matter that he’s funny and smart and jacked and can play my body like a grand piano. Because even though I’m built for love, love has only carved me up like a Christmas ham.

Resistance is something I can only hang on to for so long, and he has persistence in spades. But my heart isn’t as safe as I want to believe, and neither is his. And the second I ignore my cardinal rule is the second I stand to lose him forever.
