Synopsis:

This marriage is strictly business . . . until the temptation gets way too real.

Sterling: I loved my grandma, but I don’t need her money. All I care about is keeping the house—the only place that’s ever felt like home. That, and screwing over my dad, who wants to turn the property into a mall. There’s only one catch: To receive my inheritance, I have to get married within six months. Me, the guy who’s never dated a girl for more than six minutes. Now I need to find a woman I can trust. So when I’m rear-ended by a Prius, I figure it’s a sign that I’m supposed to meet gorgeous, down-to-earth Teagan Monroe.

Teagan: First I lose my job. Then I come home and find out—in the most graphic way possible . . . yeah, that way—that my boyfriend is a cheating jerk. And then I speed off and nearly kill Portland’s sexiest bachelor. Sterling Lane should be pissed. Instead, he offers me more money than I’ve ever seen in my life to marry him and live together in a mansion for two years. No sex. No feelings. Just cash—enough to make all my dreams come true. Then we go and break all our rules . . . and I realize I’m falling in love with my fake fiancé.

She’s never had an O. I’m going to make up for that.

When Eloise walks into my tattoo parlor, she thinks she knows what she’s after – a piercing to help take her where no man can.
But I don’t want to help her the way she thinks.
I had a crush on her all the way through grade school.
The last time I saw her was seventh grade, when my life was falling apart.
Now she has the same cute pony tail as always but the rest of her grown up body makes me hard just looking at it.
I’ll give her a piercing alright, and it will be the deepest one of her life.
Never had an O, welcome to Oh My God!

Sunny Shelly’s Review:

If you are looking for an erotic romance that is to-the-point and and not too deep, then Pierce Me is exactly that. The way that straight-laced physical therapist Eloise and tattoo artist Gabe meet is definitely one that I’ve never read before: She goes to his shop to get a genital piercing after reading an article that they help with orgasms. Poor thing has never experienced one. Gabe almost can’t believe it when he sees his pre-teen crush walk into his place of business. Rather than give Eloise the piercing she had an appointment for, he vows to get her there without it. Reluctantly, she agrees, first to dinner and then to some casual fun, and sure enough, Gabe was true to his word! I thought that Sowood did a great job of getting Eloise’s goody-two-shoesness across, but I thought that Gabe came across as a bit of a wuss at times. Like when he got angry and upset that Eloise was only thinking of them as sex buddies. Well, speak up and tell her that you want more! I guess I just didn’t feel the instalove that Gabe felt for Eloise. There is an element of suspense, and the twist of the story, the connection between their mothers, was not what I was expecting, so a point to Sowood for keeping me guessing! Overall, Pierce Me is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get sexy, erotic romance, which is just what I was looking for after back-to-back books filled with nothing but angst!

Dating-ish, an all new standalone from the USA Today bestselling Knitting in the City romantic comedy series by Penny Reid is now LIVE!

‘Dating-ish’ can be read as a standalone, is a full length 100k word novel, and is book #6 in the Knitting in the City Series.

There are three things you need to know about Marie Harris: 1) She’s fed up with online dating, 2) She’s so fed up, she’s willing to forego the annoyance and consider more creative alternatives, and 3) She knows how to knit.

After the most bizarre and irritating first date in the history of humankind, Marie is looking for an alternative to men. With the help of her friends, she quickly identifies a few possibilities:

Need a cuddle? Use a professional cuddler. Need affirmation? Get yourself a life coach. Need an orgasm? Try orgasm meditation! Why does she need the hassle of a romantic partner when she can meet all her needs with paid services?

But then her irritating date resurfaces. And he’s not at all the person she thought he was. And he suggests a different–and crazier–solution to her dilemma . . .

As everyone knows (or will soon come to realize), traditional relations between humans are a thing of the past. Robots are our future. And if robots are our future, then why do we need other people at all?

Duke of Manhattan by Louise Bay
Release Date: May 16th
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Duke of Manhattan, an all-new contemporary romance by Louise Bay is now LIVE!!!

I was born into British aristocracy, but I’ve made my fortune in Manhattan. New York is now my kingdom.

Back in Britain my family are fighting over who’s the next Duke of Fairfax. The rules say it’s me–if I’m married. It’s not a trade-off worth making. I could never limit myself to just one woman.

Or so I thought until my world is turned upside down. Now, the only way I can save the empire I built is to inherit the title I’ve never wanted — so I need a wife.

To take my mind off business I need a night that’s all pleasure. I need to bury myself in a stranger.

The skim of Scarlett King’s hair over my body as she bends over . . .

The scrape of her nails across my chest as she screams my name . . .

The bite of her teeth on my shoulder just as we both reach the edge . . .

It all helps me forget.

I just didn’t bargain on finding my one night stand across the boardroom table the next day.

She might be my latest conquest but I have a feeling Scarlett King might just conquer me.

A sexy, standalone romance.

Wow, this was a fun read! It had everything I was looking for in a rainy-day read: klutzy heroine and the brooding hero she works with, funny best friend, hot other guy, and a summer at the beach. The characters are so richly developed, there are plenty of laugh-out-loud-with-a-snort moments, and quite a bit of dirty talk!

College graduate Julia takes a summer job working as a nanny for a wealthy family in a beachtown in Maine. She’s a year post-bad breakup (her good-looking ex cheated on her) and she’s sworn off most men. Especially pretty boys. But she and her best friend will be working and living in the same town for the summer, so lots of girls time together and gaining life experience before needing to be responsible adults is all that Jules has on the horizon for the summer. The night before she starts her new job, Jules crosses paths with a very good looking — and very much an a$$hole — Liam. He seems to detest the very sight of her immediately, and she has no idea why. Nothing she says can get the guy to smile, because he’s just a big ol’ jerk.

After a comedy of errors the next morning (seriously, it’s like your worst nightmare before starting a new job), Jules shows up at the mansion where she’ll be living and working for the summer as a nanny… only to find hot stuff Liam scrubbing the toilet in her ensuite because he is the mansion’s manservant. Because, of course he is!

The sexual tension between Liam and Julia is palpable, thinly veiled behind snide remarks and zinger insults. Yet as much as she tries to ignore him, she just can’t shake off the pull she has towards Liam. Even the distraction that cute surfer dude Sterling offers doesn’t help. (The rivalry between the guys though, over Julia? Such a classic pissing contest!)

The sexcapades between Julia and Liam are off-the-chart, and Julia’s misunderstanding of surfing terms as a result lead to a cringe-worthy party meltdown. Shari gives just the right amount of vulnerability to Liam in the form of his relationship with Dylan to make the manservant redeemable, and young Dylan’s Aspbergers is handled delicately and a true part of the main story, not an ill-placed afterthought.

I absolutely loved this enemies-to-lovers story, and will be keeping it on my Kindle to re-read again!

My best friend is married.

Everyone I know is married. It doesn’t bother me. I like my life the way it is.

Since I’m single though, when my best friend and her husband finally decide to go on their dream honeymoon, she asks me to watch their three-year-old son.

Of course I say yes.

What my best friend neglects to tell me is that I won’t be babysitting alone.

Feeling Max might be too much for me to handle, her husband asks his only single friend to help.

Nick Carrington and I have met a couple of dozen times. I’ve never really given him a second thought—other than to say he’s kind of a jerk. Out loud. So he can hear. Sure, he’s tall, dark, and handsome. And yes, he has the best ass I’ve ever seen, and I mean ever seen quite literally. You see he mooned me at last year’s Fourth of July barbecue because, like I said, he’s a jerk.

He always has to be the life of the party.

He’s also arrogant.

Imposing.

Rich.

And a playboy.

I’d even go as far as to say he’s a manwhore.

Yet somehow before I know it, this manwhore and I are co-parenting. Living under the same roof. Eating meals together and yes, talking.

Don’t look at me like that—it’s not like I had a choice. Even though I knew every minute would be hell, I had to say yes.

But after two weeks what I didn’t expect is that I’d been wrong about him.

That under his smart-ass exterior, he’s quite charming.

That his arrogance is actually confidence.

And that the sight of his naked body would do really bad things to me.

So yes, I’ve misjudged him. And yes, I like him. Really like him. Although there are times I still think he’s a jerk…I now think he’s a sexy jerk.

And I want more of him.

The question is—does he want more of me?

My Best Friend’s Ex, an all new sexy, laugh out loud romantic comedy is coming June 1st!

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

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Photographer: Neil Danvers

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!
