Blurb:
Look, she started it.

She issued me a challenge I couldn’t back down from. Make her purr like no man has done before.

Fine, she’s my business partner’s daughter. All right, I’m also working in the same damn practice with her. Yes, she happens to be my ex-fling. But that was seven years ago, and it was barely a week-long thing.

Except, Sloane is still the one I can’t stop thinking of — brilliant, sexy, captivating Sloane. Maybe a week of taking her to new heights will get her out of my head.

So what if we spend a few nights on the town too? So what if I romance her across Manhattan? It’s all in the name of scientific pursuit of more magnificent Os.

Until the rules change…

Excerpt
I meet Sloane’s gaze then go for it. Because this night has only one destination. “We should go to Tahiti.”

“Tonight?”

“Too long a flight?”

She lets go of my hand and holds up her thumb and forefinger. “Maybe a little. Not that I’m turning down a trip to Tahiti. Wait? Are you saying you want to take me to Tahiti? Because I can pack like that.”

Smiling, I slide my hand to her ass, squeezing. I whisper roughly in her ear, “I’m saying I’d like to escape with you. Like we’re getting away for the night. Let’s fuck away all this hot, wild desire.”

She exhales then goes quiet, perhaps lost in thought. “But I thought we were going to resist kissing.”

I brush the backs of my fingers along her jaw. “We already failed that test.”

She pouts. “I was supposed to be an un-vixen.”

“Didn’t work. You’re the opposite, and I want you so fucking much.” I press against her. “You have me so wound up. I’m pretty sure you’re wound up too.”

She pushes back. “You know I am. You know I want you too. That was never the issue.”

I have to get closer to her. I need to have her. “Let’s give in. Just once.” I slide my fingers into her hair, she leans her head against my palm, and I continue making my case. “I can take you places. I can make you feel extraordinary, like I’ve always wanted to.”

She hums. “You’re making it hard to say no.”

“True. I’m very hard to resist.”

A smile spreads across her face. “You are, Malone. You’re terribly, impossibly hard to resist.” She nibbles on her bottom lip. “One night. Our secret. What happens in Tahiti stays in Tahiti.”

“Absolutely,” I say as my dick high-fives me.

“And where is this alternate universe?”

I curl my fingers around her hip bone. “My place isn’t far. There’s also a hotel down the block. Either way, I intend to strip you naked, get my lips all over you, and make you feel as fucking good as you looked when you were watching me sing.”

She shudders. “I looked good when I was watching you? How so?”

I run my thumb over her hip, rubbing in slow, sensual circles. “You’re so seductive. You looked so incredibly alluring. You looked exactly as you are—the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met.” My fingers stray to her belly, gliding down the fabric of her dress toward my final destination. “And you and I have unfinished business.”

She leans her head back, and the most delicious moan ever recorded escapes her lips. When she raises her face, she tap-dances her fingers down my chest then runs them over the silk of my tie. “Are you saying we’re going to finish the business tonight?”

“Yes, and then tomorrow . . . we can be friends again.” The thought pains me, but I know this is the only way to deal with our reality.

“Exactly,” she says, nodding her agreement. “We take a trip tonight. We get away to a remote island. And tomorrow we go back to the real world?” She’s seriously considering this. Hell, I’ve already considered it six ways to Sunday in the span of ten seconds, and I say it’s a brilliant plan.

“Let me take care of you tonight. Let me spend the night worshipping your body and driving you wild with pleasure.”

“You say these things . . .”

I grin. “And?”

“And you make it impossible to walk away.” She grabs my tie and tugs my face inches from hers. “But what do you think my voice says?”

I want her to say it. The permission must come from her, and I’m dying for it. “You tell me.”

She brings her mouth to my ear and whispers, hot and sexy, “It says take me to Tahiti. Fuck me hard. Fuck me good. Fuck me senseless.”

That’s the only voice I’m listening to tonight.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

What a super-fun second chance romance! Another Lauren Blakely fantastic romcom!

For sexy vet Monroe, Sloan is the one who got away. Or, the one he had to let go. After a whirlwind weeklong romance, Monroe learned that Sloane was the daughter of his new boss, and broke things off after getting a don’t-date-my-daughter vibe.

It’s now several years later, and Sloane comes to work at the vet practice, running her rescue service. The connection is as intense as ever, and they both find it hard to keep their distance from the other. They agree to one night — in “Tahiti” — but it’s not enough for either of them.

There’s a nice push and pull as they both try to deny their feelings since they work together and think her dad won’t approve. But these two are perfect for one another, right down to their rhyming names.

Satisfaction Guaranteed is a start to a new series that is a spin-off from LB’s Big Rock series. Monroe is the cousin of Nick from Big O and Charlotte and Spencer make an appearance. But this story is a true standalone, so you do not need to know what happened in the Big Rock books. And the epilogue teases the next book to come, a best friend’s sister book between Malone’s bud, Jason, and sister Truely.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

They call him the second coming.
Of honor for British football.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

The Second Coming is a super-cute YA sports romance, kicking off a new series from Carrie Aarons.

Jude is the next David Beckham, the popular football star. Aria is the nobody who catches his eye on the campus of Rogue Academy, and she could care less that Jude is Mr. Popular. What starts out as the thrill of the chase turns into a hot, sexy, swoony romance between the two. With every challenge Aria sets up for Jude, he steps up to the plate. He could point at any girl and have them fawning all over him, but he’s genuinely interested in getting to know Aria better. But can she trust that she’s not just another notch in his bedpost?

This is a great opposites-attract story with likable characters. Jude really grows from the playboy to the dedicated boyfriend over the course of the book, and poor Aria has so much baggage, I loved that she found a guy to help her carry the load.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

The Red Zone, an all-new sexy, second chance romance from Amie Knight, is available now!

They say the red zone is the hardest place to score.

But for me, those last twenty yards were my sweet spot.

They didn’t call me Lukas “Last Minute Lucy” Callihan for nothing.

I was at the top of my game…until life sacked me harder than any linebacker ever could.

Losing my mom was devastating and left me as the sole person responsible for my little sister.

Taking care of Ella and juggling my career was like playing the hardest game of my life.

My only saving grace was Scarlett Knox, Ella’s sexy, red-headed, no-nonsense teacher.

She loved Ella. She hated me.

She thought I sucked at this parenting thing, and she wasn’t wrong.

But whenever she was around I got the same earth-shattering, heart-stopping feeling I did when I was only twenty yards from the goal line.

She made me feel like I was back in the red zone, a place I’d never fumbled.

Until now.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

The Red Zone isn’t so much a second-chance romance as it is an another-shot romance with the one who got away. But regardless of the trope, Lukas and Scarlett’s story is sweet and heartwarming, with zero drama and lots of family love.

Ten years after Lukas broke Scarlett’s teenage heart after taking her very first kiss, she’s now his little sister’s teacher at a school for special-needs students. On the day Luk played his best pro football game, his world came crashing down around him when his mother suddenly died, leaving him the guardian of his 14-year-old sister, Ella, who has Downs syndrome.

Through flashbacks, we learn that Ella’s teacher, Ms. Lettie, shares a history with Luk: She was Mister Quarterback’s French tutor in high school. In present day, he has no clue that Ms. Lettie is the girl he once called Red. It’s a fun exchange of text messages before and after Luk figures it out. And once he realizes that he has a second chance with the girl who got away, he starts playing the long game to win her over.

There’s zero drama in this book, but there is a lot of turmoil for Lukas as he struggles to parent his little sister and balance that with his football career. There are some nice side characters, too. Mason is a hoot, and I really hope that Scarlett’s brother, Oliver, and her bestie, Hazel, have their own story coming!

The Red Zone is a great, uplifting story about taking the lemons you get in life and making lemonade. And never forgetting to call dibs.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Excerpt:

“I’m going to kiss you.”

        My body locked tight. Oh, no, he couldn’t do that. If he kissed me I’d think about it at least the next ten years and that would be awful. I still obsessed over the day he’d kissed me when he’d told me goodbye. I couldn’t let him do that to me again.

        “That’s a terrible idea,” I whispered, his lips a breath from mine.

        Slowly his eyes opened and they were suddenly boring into mine. “Why, Scarlett?”

        I couldn’t tell him the truth. That his kiss had ruined my teenage heart. That I’d never moved on. That no other kiss had ever compared. That I still thought about that kiss and what I had meant to him. I couldn’t tell him any of that because it sounded pathetic and desperate even to my own ears.

        So I lied. I lied my face off. “It’s just not appropriate. I’m Ella’s teacher and you’re her guardian.”

        His smile said it all, but it didn’t have to because his mouth wasn’t far behind. “That’s bullshit. None of that has anything to do with me putting my lips on yours.” He studied my face like he did when we were in school together. Like he was trying to figure me out. I prayed he wouldn’t.

        And while his eyes pillaged my very soul, his knee slowly wedged itself between my thighs, causing my skirt to rise. I turned my head to the classroom door, terrified someone would walk through even though I knew it was after hours and we were alone.     

        His hands left my jaw and traveled down my neck, past my shoulders and the outer swell of my breasts to settle on my hips where he squeezed.

        “What are you so afraid of, baby?”

        He called me baby and he was doing it again. That thing where he made me dizzy and stupid. He was making me forget why this was a bad idea. Why I shouldn’t want this. Because he felt so, so good against me.

         His warm palms left my hips and slid down over my ass and to the bottom of my skirt where he clutched the hem in his fists, slowly sliding it up more.

        I should have said stop. Anything, but the farther he pushed up my skirt, the more his knee moved in and up until it sat right there against me. Right where I needed it.

        A small squeak escaped my lips and one corner of his mouth lifted in a slow smile. “God, you’re gorgeous.” His nose brushed the side of mine and the harsh stubble on his jaw scraped my skin exquisitely. His massive hands moved under my skirt and right to the globes of my bottom, squeezing, before one moved up and snapped the top of my panties. “And you have a thong on. You’re trying to kill me, Red.”

        He lowered his head more, zeroed in on my lips, and even though I was a mess of hormones and turned on more than I’d ever been in my life, I couldn’t give it to him. I couldn’t give him my kiss again.

        I turned my head in the nick of time and his mouth landed on my jaw.

        “You’re not going to give me your mouth, huh?” he mumbled against my cheek before pressing open mouth kisses down my face to my neck.

        “No,” I whispered into the quiet room, my voice breathy.

        “Mmm,” he moaned right into the spot where my shoulder met my neck before giving me a bite there that simultaneously stung and lit my body on fire. “Then I’ll just have to take what you give me. Now won’t I?” he growled.

About The Two-Week Arrangement

Dear Sexy AF Intern,

I know you don’t particularly care that I’m the CEO of this company, and you’re just an intern. I also know you’re not impressed by my power or my wealth, and that’s fine.

You think you’ve got me all figured out from working alongside me for two weeks, but you don’t know me. Not really.

You don’t know that I’m a single dad to twin toddlers, or that those two little girls matter more to me than this entire hotel chain.

I’m not interested in starting something deep and meaningful, but what I am interested in is the way your body reacts to mine when we’re in the same room. You probably assume the concentration on my face is work-related, when in reality, I’m figuring out which I want more–to nail you against the wall, or to bend you over my desk.

While you’re too disciplined to act on it, I’m not. And the night you stepped into my limo, all bets were off.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Hot, single, rich CEO who is a single dad (in secret) gets a hot intern whom he asks to pose as his girlfriend. Dominic is charming, and Peyton is a smart go-getter. This book has all the makings of a hot workplace romance.

I really liked the development of their relationship, and how Dom reluctantly introduced Peyton to his daughters. And they totally hit it off.

My one complaint is the scene where Peyton… let’s say, accepts payment. I know that she’s in a bind, but taking it kind of makes her a hypocrite, since she initially judged Dom for hiring escorts as his dates.

Two Week Arrangement is a spin-off from KR’s Allure series, as Dominic is a client of the elite escort service. But there isn’t any crossover from that series, so no need to know what goes on in those books. They are both just set in the same world.

I wish I’d known ahead of time that it was a cliffhanger, so I would have been mentally prepared! Because that ending left me yelling in frustration! I need Seven Nights Of Sin ASAP to finish this story!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I love LB Dunbar’s romances for the over 40 set! Delores and Garrett are a breath of fresh air. Their whole Wizard Of Oz bit between them — Dorothy, Kansas, Tin Man — was so adorable. Garrett is a perpetual bachelor, settled in his ways and closed himself off to love due to a bad heartbreak. He doesn’t know what hit him when Delores moves into the condo next door. She’s nothing like the younger bimbos he typically “dates” and it takes him totally by surprise that he finds Delores so stunning.

While Delores’ makeover is a huge part of getting her out of her rut, I liked that it didn’t change the essence of her personality. It didn’t become a big part of her story. Was more of a sidenote, and I liked that there wasn’t that focus on her appearance.

There is some great family drama going on with Delores and her brother, Denton. Her brother really puts his nose in where it doesn’t belong and goes behind her back and there’s a great fallout that comes from it. Seeing the siblings patch up their relationship — and the hysterical input from grandma Magnolia — really rounded out this romance nicely.

But as much as I loved Delores and Garrett as a couple, I thought he behaved like a pouty teenager at times. I get that he had insecurities stemming from his childhood and his father abandoning them, but the dude is 50 years old and acted like a petulant kindergartener!

Overall, Wine & Dine is a must-read for anybody who enjoys a more mature couple!

Blurb:
I needed to get away.
My ex was getting married.
So, I left.

The English countryside was a picture-perfect escape.
The dashing stranger an even better one.
And what started as a chance encounter quickly became more.

He promised to show me how to live, how to feel alive and forget a past best forgotten.
He made me believe things could be different.
That was until I found out who he was . . .

He was Oliver Blackthorn.
The 16th Earl of Lockhart. Thirty-third in line to the throne.
And a liar.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 3.5 Stars

I’m with the other reviewers who had mixed feelings about Deceit. Oliver and Addison’s entire relationship is built on the lie that he doesn’t tell her who he actually is. Okay, I knew that from the blurb and was okay with that diving into the book. Despite the fact that he was keeping something major from her — it would have a huge impact on the property she’s trying to sell on behalf of her family’s company — I liked the relationship that was developing between Olly and Addy. They were cute, they were sexy, they were flirty.

But after Olly and Addy’s relationship implodes, and she just shut him out completely without giving him the chance to explain, the book kind of fell apart for me. The rest of the story dragged as she tries to move on with another guy, lying to herself the entire time that she loves Maxwell. (I did love, however, that Olly remained faithful to Addison during that time as he tried to win her back.)

The book culminates with all of Oliver’s family secrets finally being explained, and she understands why he lied as he did. But by that point, I wasn’t as enthralled by the story anymore was just reading to get to the HEA that I knew was coming for these two.

Ava Harrison is a new-to-me author, and even though I have mixed feelings on how much I liked Deceit, I liked enough of it to check out books from this author in the future. I received and advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Crashing Together
Lyssa Cole
Publication date: May 30th 2019
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

It’s an age old story….

A summer fling….

A temporary thing…

His name was Cole and I couldn’t resist him. He was everything a girl could want in a summer romance. A hot, tanned, surfer with blonde hair and blue eyes… oh and let’s not forget about all those muscles and the six-pack I couldn’t stop staring at.

We agreed to just sex. Lots of sex. Lots of fun. No titles, no relationship, and certainly no love.

Until the sex started to feel like something else.

Something more..

Something way more…

But for him?

It was still just sex.

Until it wasn’t.

Until everything we didn’t mean to build unraveled in a heap of secrets, lies, and broken trust.

We came crashing together but will our summer fling survive the waves?

EXCERPT:

Addi

“You’re in over your head and you know it.” Leigh lifts her frozen margarita to her lips and eyes me over the sugar rim.

“I am not.” I roll my eyes and look around the smoky bar. I don’t know why I even let Leigh talk me into coming here. It’s dark, a little sketchy, and the millions of fog machines fill the place with smoke so thick you’d think they allowed cigarettes in here.

“You’re in denial, Addi. You can’t even look at me.”

I snap my eyes back to her. “It’s hard to see with all this smoke.” I wave my hand around for dramatic effect. I’m so in denial but she doesn’t need to know that.

Leigh laughs and rolls her eyes. “Yeah okay girl, whatever you say.”

“The drinks are delicious though.” I raise my glass before bringing to my lips to it, licking the sugar rim.

It’s as if a storm is brewing, ready to take over at any minute, inside my belly. Awake at night, I stare at the ceiling as it flips and twists, growing worse.

The storm named Cole.

He fills my bloodstream, running through my veins, and follows me everywhere I go. No matter what I do, I can’t stop it.

I was a fool thinking I could and I’m a fool now as I sit here and let it happen.

I’m falling hopelessly in love with Cole.

It’s unreal, consuming, and lighting me on fire from within.

I’ve never felt anything like it before. The more I see him, the more I want. And Leigh is absolutely correct.

I’m in over my fucking head.

Million Dollar Devil by Katy Evans

Release Date: May 28, 2019

Million Dollar Devil, a devilish contemporary romance where big-city sophistication meets carnal hunger from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katy Evans.

Heir apparent to her father’s company, Lizzy Banks needs a man. The perfect man. But when the rich “fundbabies” she usually rubs shoulders with prove impossible to hire, she takes a chance on a raw beast of a man salvaged from the wreckage of a bar brawl.

James Rowan earns a modest income as a YouTube daredevil, but he can’t refuse Lizzy’s million dollar deal. As she polishes his rough edges, creating a sophisticated gentleman fit for the highest circles of society, not only does she bring out the perfect man—it’s like she’s making the man of her dreams. How can she resist?

Though Lizzy loves seeing James in his clothes—and out of them—he isn’t the kind of man you bring home to Daddy. Her father’s disapproval and the pressure of the campaign have her eyeing the straight and narrow, but Lizzy’s finding it awfully hard to resist the devil on her shoulder…

A stand-alone, contemporary romance.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 3.5 Stars

Ugh. I find Katy Evans books to be hit or miss for me. And while the blurb for Million Dollar Devil completely hooked me, I didn’t love the story itself. I liked it. I just didn’t love it.

I really liked the idea of the reversed roles in this Pygmalion story, but the overall execution of Elizabeth falling in love with her creation, James, dragged for me. The contrast between menswear exec Elizabeth and YouTube daredevil Jimmy was great in terms of how this romance needed to build. Her entire career is on the line with the success of presenting James as the new face of Banks LTD. But when Jimmy’s past is threatened to be exposed by a rival, how far will he go to protect Lizzy’s future?

There are some nice moments between Lizzy and Jimmy, and I think I liked them better than Elizabeth and James. But they just didn’t have “IT” for me in terms of absolutely loving them as a couple. And I really wanted her to grow a backbone where her dad was concerned.

Overall, this story would be enjoyable for Katy Evans readers and lovers of the trope. It just didn’t pack the punch for me that I was hoping for.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

He has a face that—until now—only existed in my dreams. Hard jaw, chiseled to perfection. Firm, plush, kissable lips. Sharp, pristine blue eyes that feel like lasers zeroing in on me. He catches my gaze, and the devil’s smile suddenly playing on his lips is worth a million bucks.

That’s exactly how much it cost me. What this guy cost me. I would’ve paid so much more.

It’s like he’s the only man in the room. Like he belongs here. Confidence oozes out of his every pore. Masculinity envelops him as perfectly as his custom black suit. He walks like he owns the place. My heart beats harder and harder for him.

I can’t believe I got him to agree to this.

Women are vying for his attention. His moves are smooth. Sophisticated. Elegant.

“An autograph?” a young woman asks shyly.

He takes the notepad and pen she extends and scribbles his name, his voice low and rough. “There you go.” Beneath all that polish is his raw masculine energy. The determination that brought him here.

“James . . .” I halt him before we go any farther. “Whatever happens . . .”

He looks at me. A thousand words lingering in his look. “I know.”

But does he? I’ve fallen in love with my own creation. I polished a diamond, and now it’s flawless. Perfect. But it’s not mine to keep.

He is not mine to keep.

This elite world he’s about to join isn’t one he was born into. These fans only know him because of me. His place at the top? That’s not where I found him.
