The second he walked through the door, she could tell he was trouble.

Grace knows better than to fall for a Hollywood bad boy like Scott Deacon. An arrogant movie star with a troubled past and a big honking chip on his shoulder? No, thank you. He may be sex on wheels, but beneath the charming facade he’s just another cocky jackass destined to make her job more difficult.

The more time they spend together, the hotter the fire between them burns. With every flirtatious smile and brush of his hand, she feels her defenses crumbling.

She wants to hate him, but instead she’s in danger of losing all control.

Read an Excerpt from FALLEN STAR:

Tuesday they were shooting on location in Jackson Square all day. The call time was two hours before dawn, so they could wring every second of sunlight out of the day, and Grace could not stop yawning on the transport van to the location.

“Wakey, wakey,” Scott said, leaning over the back of his seat to shake a plastic tumbler filled with something thick and green and disgusting-looking in front of her face.

“Ugh,” Grace grumbled. “Get that away from me.” She couldn’t help but smile a little though, even through her sleep-deprived crankiness.

An hour later, as the first streaks of light were glimmering in the sky above the river, Scott showed up at the pop-up tent where video village had been set up, and presented Grace with a white paper bag and a tall styrofoam cup from Café du Monde.

“For me?” she asked, perking up considerably. “Did you seriously walk over there and buy me coffee?” He didn’t seem to have gotten anything for anyone else. Just her. Her brain filed this information away to obsess over and analyze later, when he wasn’t standing two feet away grinning at her.

“Café au lait,” Scott said smugly. “And beignets.”

Grace narrowed her eyes at him in suspicion. “Did you make one of the PAs do it?”

“As a matter of fact, I did it all by myself. And I had to take a picture with the employees, so I hope you appreciate it.”

“I do!” she said, beaming at him. “You’re officially my favorite person today.”

He blinked at her, his smirk fading into something else entirely. Whatever that expression on his face was, it sent Grace’s stomach tumbling into a free fall. Rather than examine it more closely, she focused her attention on the bag in her hand. Inside was a mountain of powdered sugar, and buried beneath it were three pillowy squares of fried dough. “Don’t inhale while you’re eating those,” Scott warned her.

“Not my first rodeo,” Grace told him, excavating a beignet. “Want one?”

“Noooo.” He held up his hands in a warding gesture. “I’m doing a water cut for that fight scene on Thursday.”

Right. He’d be shirtless, which meant the Abs of Glory would be on full display. Grace found herself looking forward to Thursday with a little more enthusiasm.

“Sucks for you,” she said, giving him a taunting grin as she bit into a beignet.

His eyes homed in on her mouth with laser beam focus. “That’s fine. I’ll just enjoy them vicariously by watching you eat.”

“Does this get you off?” she asked archly and took another bite.

Scott licked his lips. “Not gonna lie, it kind of does.”

Grace couldn’t help laughing at his retriever-staring-down-a-dog-treat expression, which led her to make the fatal mistake of inhaling with the beignet in front of her mouth. Coughing sugar out of her lungs, she clapped a hand over her mouth as a cloud of fine white powder billowed out in front of her.

Scott sidestepped the powdered sugar typhoon and patted her on the back, chuckling. “Told you not to inhale.”

Keep reading for a SUPER STEAMY excerpt from Butt Ending by R.C. Stephens!

BLURB:

Sloane has been on her share of dates. She just can’t seem to find the right guy to pop her virgin cherry. Sloane’s mother, a well-known sex guru, believes she’s suffering from a hostile vagina.

Poor Sloane is beginning to believe her mother’s professional diagnosis is true. Except for one small detail…

She’s been pining for her best friend’s brother, Oli, for the past decade.

Sloane’s heart is set on the unattainable, sexy-as-sin hockey player. She would give up on her Oli fantasy if it weren’t for those constant heated glares and that one passionate kiss that set her world on fire confirming her hostile vagina is right. Oli is the man for the job.

Problem is, Oli seems to have no intention of settling down and has clearly placed Sloane in the friend zone.

When crisis strikes, Oli and Sloane end up trapped in a car, driving to Canada with a sweet puppy and a whole lot of chemistry. But when Oli realizes she’s a virgin, he wants to run to the farthest hills to get away from her.

Sometimes happily-ever-after isn’t that easy…

Butt Ending is a laugh-out-loud friends-to-lovers story. Get ready for foodgasms, dirty talk, and one heck of a sexy alpha-male hockey player.

Oli

She tastes of sugar and sin. I’m treading in dangerous waters, and yet I couldn’t stop myself if I wanted to. I’m too far away from shore as my tongue runs down her chest.

I lift her under her arms and lie her on the bed. “I don’t remember the last time I fucked gently, but tonight I’ll try my hardest for you,” I say, because a part of me hopes she’ll cower and realize she’s making a mistake. It shouldn’t be me.

A nervous laugh escapes her lips. “Is that another warning? I told you I feel safe,” she says firmly, her voice too filled with lust to be taken very seriously.

I can’t blame her because that same need pulses through me, even though a nagging feeling sits on my chest, like I’m taking something that isn’t mine. I don’t want to hurt her or me. I sure as hell don’t want to cause trouble between her and Flynn, but my resolve has diminished, and like a moth to a flame, I’m consumed by her.

As my tongue runs over her pert nipple, it stands to attention. I’ve never wanted anyone like I want her now with her dark hair messy and splayed on the bed, her green eyes filled with heat so alluring. She’s quite the temptress, and she isn’t even trying.

My tongue plays with the bud of her nipple as she runs her fingers through my hair. She smells like fresh flowers on a spring day, refreshing, untainted, in need of love. My lips press against her other nipple, and she murmurs something unintelligible and moans, arching her back off the bed.

“That feels so good,” she rasps. Her heated voice does things to my insides. I want to make her feel passion that she’s never felt before. I want her to come completely undone because of me, for me. I’ve noticed over the years she has a wall erected around her not with my sister but with other people, especially those of the opposite sex, and although I don’t know what it’s about, it makes me feel special knowing she trusts me enough, that she cares about me enough, to want to give this precious gift to me.

“Good, baby, I want to make this feel good for you.” My mouth hovers over her delectable nipple as my tongue draws circles around it, making her buck beneath me.

“Ah!” she cries out, pressing her wet pussy into me.

“Fuck, I can feel how wet you are through my jeans,” I hiss.

“We better do something about those jeans then.” She grins sexily, her eyes heavy-lidded and warm. She gets to work on the button and zipper, then runs her hands over my ass. “Damn, this is one fine ass.” She giggles.

“You like my butt, huh?” I reach down to squeeze hers. “Yours is sexier than hell. Fuck, what I wouldn’t do to come inside it,” I growl, forgetting myself. She’s a virgin; her virgin ears don’t need to hear my fantasies about taking her from behind. At least not yet.

Her throat bobs. I’ve made her nervous.

“Don’t freeze up on me, baby. I’m not going there tonight. Like I said, I want to make this good for you. Tonight is all about you.”

About R.C. Stephens:

As far back as R.C. Stephens can remember she was a sucker for a good romance. Of course there had to be a prince charming even if he ultimately was a dark knight and there had to be a happy ending.

She watched the movie Dirty Dancing way too many times growing up and Jean Claude Van Damme movies too. Go figure!

After years of saying she would write a book one day, she finally put pen to paper and carved out the plot line for what would eventually become the best selling Twisted Series. Now R.C. is just finishing up her tenth book and can’t seem to stop the stories running through her mind.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Can’t Match This, by Xavier Neal

 

Can’t Match This, an all-new standalone Romantic Comedy from Xavier Neal is Available Now!

 

 

Wyatt

Helping your best guy friend, who you just happen to be in love with, find his dream woman through a dating service is a great idea…

Right?

Gideon Lucas
Sports agent.
Obsessively organized.
And best friend to the most beautiful, brainy, bubbly, but insane, woman on the entire planet.

Lennox Marston
Sometimes therapist.
Incredibly impulsive.
And best friend to the most gorgeous, brilliant, charming, yet uptight, man to ever walk the Earth.

On paper, they’re not a match, but over the course of an impromptu dating arrangement, the two opposites may discover that everything they’ve been looking for is right in front of them.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Can’t Match This is a super cute best friends romance. I really liked that Gideon and Lennox (Lenny) are both in love with the other from the start, rather than one of them one day waking up and realizing that they are in love with their best friend.

Lenny and Gideon have been best friends since they were in school, and somewhere along the way fell in love with one another. But they are both so sure that they other has them forever placed in the dreaded friend zone, that they never ‘fess up about their feelings. Until Gideon bets Lenny, a matchmaker, that she can’t find him his perfect match.

We all know how this story will end, right? But the journey between Lenny and Gideon is so worth the trip. Their banter is quirky and sweet and full of little moments that would naturally come between life-long friends. Can’t Match This is a sweet best friends romance that will leave you with a smile on your face.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Flirting With The Frenemy is a great start to a new collection by Pippa Grant! It has all of the same heart and humor I’ve come to expect from her books, but introduces a whole new cast of characters.

Ellie and Wyatt have spent their entire life bickering with one another. One night, when they were both feeling incredibly low and down, they had crazy sex…. and he said it was a mistake. Ellie runs off, getting into a car accident that injured her badly. But while Wyatt was definitely feeling something for her, he was more afraid of losing the only family he’d ever known if Ellie’s brother found out.

When Ellie and Wyatt are forced by her brother to spend time together a few months later, it’s the same weekend where her best friend is marrying Ellie’s ex’s brother. Wyatt steps up to be her fake boyfriend for the week, and chaos ensues. A lot of chaos. And it just fuels Ellie’s belief that they are a disaster together. But I love all of the little moments between them and how Wyatt all of a sudden realizes that he’s been in love with Ellie for years. And maybe, just maybe, she’s worth the risk.

This was a super cute story, and Wyatt’s son, Tucker, steals the show! The relationship unfolds nicely, it’s a great slow burn between Ellie and Wyatt, and I totally got the hesitation on both their parts.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

“I wasn’t ready for this. Hannah deserved a man who was whole, not a broken shell. But I couldn’t resist her. Couldn’t resist this. It felt too good.And would that be so bad? To have something that felt good for once?”

My name is Leo Miles, and I’m not a hero.

My only reprieve is her voice. I put on my headset, log in to my game, and she’s there. We talk while we play, sharing everything but our personal details. She’s my best friend—my happy place—even though I don’t know her real name.

Until one day, I hear a voice I recognize. She’s here, at my family’s winery. Meeting Hannah Tate in person rocks my world. And discovering she’s in trouble—serious trouble—changes everything.

Hannah is my every fantasy come true. And this badass gamer girl is determined to break through my defenses. But between the mess that is my life, and the threats to my family’s safety, I can’t be anyone’s hero, least of all hers.

But maybe we both need saving.

Blog Tour: Sunny Shelly Reviews Stay All Night, by D.B. James & S.L. Peters

Title: Stay All Night
Series: Sugarcreek Love #1
Author: D.B. James and S.L. Peters
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: February 19, 2019

“Stay all night,” were the words echoing from her lips as I slid from the bed like the scumbag I am.
 
My name is Tobias Roman Jefferson. I’m a college drop-out fresh from living on my buddies’ couch and nowhere near worthy enough for the likes of Janie Lynn Francis—the hottest girl in Sugarcreek, Texas. Who also happens to be the woman I’ve been in love with for the last nineteen years.
 
When one stormy night we’re left stranded in my old cabin in the woods, we give to our passion. Only to repeat ourselves the next night…at her house. When she whispers her plea, I escape from her bed as fast as I possibly can.

How can I, the town screw-up, deem myself worthy of the town’s one-time homecoming queen?


Amazon Review: “D.B. James is rapidly becoming one of my go to authors. Stay All Night was well written and I can’t wait to read more from S. L. Peters.”


Cranky TBC: “Swoon!! I love you Tobias Roman Jefferson.”


Melanie Helms: “This was a super cute, good book.”

 

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

This was a cute unrequited love story. When Janie Lynn moves back to her small Texas town after years away in veterinary school, Tobias takes the leap to take her out on a date like he wanted to do so many years ago. Before his brother made a move first, and changed the course of Tobias’ life forever.

Tobias is such a likable guy, even more so because of his low self-esteem (thinking everyone in town hates him) and how he was betrayed by his dad and brother over and over again. I can’t decide if Teddy is cute or creepy, but I still liked the guy and was rooting for him to get the girl he’s been in love with for half his life.

There is a cute “cameo” made by a popular author at the end of the book that made me smile, and the whole story is tied up in a HEA that Tobias so deserves after all that he’d wrongly been accused of.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

D.B. James is an indie author of New Adult Romance. Her debut novel released on August 19, 2016. In her spare time she’s an avid reader.

Excerpt
The minister glanced between them. In a low voice he asked,
“Are you ready?”
“Yes,” they both said.
He raised his voice so the congregation could her him.
“Michael and Rowan, marriage is a promise between two people to love, trust,
and honor each other. It takes trust to know in your hearts you only want the
best for each other. It takes—”
A commotion at the back of the chapel stopped the minister
from telling them what else it took.
“Sir, you can’t go in. There’s a wedding in progress!”
She recognized their wedding planner Stephanie’s voice.
“I know. I’m here to stop it.”
Rowan’s heart thumped in her chest and her fingers tingled
from the flow of adrenaline suddenly coursing through her. She squeezed her
eyes closed. “Please God, no,” she whispered.

Excerpt: What It Takes To Fall, by C.R. Ellis

Title: What It Takes to Fall (Forget Me Knot #3)
Age Group: Adult
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: February 21, 2019

Designed by: Hang Le

 

Book Description
ELLIOT

Happily settled into my new position at FMK Weddings, I never expected to be presented with the career opportunity of a lifetime. And I definitely wasn’t expecting it to mean working with Bryce McKnight.

Bryce was the heart and soul of my childhood—my best friend.Until life pulled us apart and we lost touch.

Our friendship picks up right where it left off—complete with colorful trash talking and wagers on Mario Kart showdowns—only, I’m pretty sure friends don’t make out in parking lots or have naked sleepovers…

BRYCE

The first time we met, I won Elliot Kincaid’s trust with candy and card games.

After everything I’ve done, it’ll take a lot more to win her heart.

Fortunately, I love a good challenge.

With so much at stake for us both, I know Elliot thinks we’re setting ourselves up for heartbreak.

I’ll just have to show her that our friendship was always meant to be the foundation of our forever.

*What It Takes to Fall is a stand alone in the Forget Me Knot series.

Excerpt:

BRYCE: MORE coffee??? Are you aware of potential heart issues caused by an increased caffeine intake?

My head jerked up, instinctively looking for hair the shade of dark honey. He sat across the room at a tiny table with his laptop out. Smiling eyes behind black-rimmed glasses met mine before he shot me a wink. I smiled and turned back to my computer.

ELLIOT: Are YOU aware of the term ‘restraining order’??? Exactly how long have you been watching me, McStalks-a-lot?

BRYCE: Never heard of it. And…long enough. This is MY coffee shop, remember? Also, if you’re expanding the potential nicknames to Mc-somethings, I prefer McDreamy.

ELLIOT: So humble. Too bad that one’s already taken. But feel free to keep the suggestions coming.

BRYCE: Ask and you shall receive…

BRYCE: McDreamboat. McHotBody. McLicious. McMagicDick. I spewed iced coffee onto my laptop screen and keyboard. Grabbing a napkin, I wiped up the mess.

ELLIOT: McLicious? What are you, some kind of McDonald’s dessert? I’m thinking McCock…y seems highly fitting.

ELLIOT: Also, my fingers are now sticky, thanks to you.

BRYCE: If we’re about to swap confessions about masturbating after you went home last night, we should move this conversation somewhere more private.

BRYCE: Then again, I do love the idea of making you squirm in public…

ELLIOT: ??????

BRYCE: El. Reread your text.
I did, and my face immediately burst into flames of mortification. Other parts of me also burst to life at Bryce’s words.

Also, he wasn’t wrong about what I’d done after I got home last night.

ELLIOT: You wouldn’t.

ELLIOT: Besides, even if that was remotely true, how do you know *you* were the reason behind it?

BRYCE: I can see you blushing from here. That’s how.

BRYCE: It’s adorable, by the way. But now picturing you touching yourself is giving me very NSFW thoughts and ideas.

ELLIOT: Such as?

BRYCE: Elliot Kincaid…are you trying to get me to sext you…from across the room, while we’re both on the clock?

I leaned back in my chair and bit my lip, refusing to look his way. Crap. Is that what I’m doing? I can’t do that while we’re both supposed to be working. While part of me worried he actually would try to sext me right now, the idea of seeing how far I could push Bryce was too tempting to pass up.

ELLIOT: Maybe.

BRYCE: Dirty girl. I’m coming over there.

ELLIOT: No!

ELLIOT: Not yet. I actually do need to work. And you coming over here right now would probably make that impossible.

I swore I heard him sigh from across the room, but when I looked over, his eyes were on his screen.

BRYCE: I’ll make you a deal. We both work—no distractions—for a solid hour, a ‘power hour’ if you will, and then I’m coming over there.

ELLIOT: Deal.

I closed out of Messages and successfully resisted the urge to turn and look at Bryce.

No distractions.
Right.

Easier said than done when he was in my vicinity, hijacking my thoughts every other minute.

When she’s not writing or plotting, she enjoys going to concerts with her sweet husband, dragging him along to see rom-coms at any theater that serves booze, checking off the next destination on her ever-growing travel bucket list, and trying new recipes.

Her passion for writing stems from her lifelong love of reading, and she often binge-reads entire books in a day. She’s an unapologetic book hoarder, and her paperback collection is rivaled only by her massive shoe collection.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

What a sweet story! Baking With A Rockstar is the first book I’ve read by this author. You never know if it’s going to be a hit or miss, and I’m happy to say this story was a hit.

Hudson is such a sweetheart. He knows that Charlie, a single mom with an infant, is in no place to start dating, but he is so patient and kind. And his interactions with little Mira! Oh, exploding ovaries!

I felt like these two really balanced each other out, and I loved that his grandma gave them a little prodding. There is a twist in Charlie’s backstory that I wasn’t expecting, and it made me like her even more.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Excerpt
The smart and
rational side of my brain seems to be on a break because all I’m capable of
doing is raking my eyes over Mr. Basketball Shorts. He’s tall with broad
shoulders and the most pronounced abs I’ve ever seen up close. The baseball cap
on his head is turned backward, and he’s currently wiping his face off with
what I assume to be his shirt. That is the only reason he hasn’t seen me yet,
and why I haven’t seen his face yet either. But I’m going out on a limb here
and say it’s probably as gorgeous as the rest of him.
My eyes drift
back to his drool-worthy chest, following the beads of sweat that are slowly
running down his torso to the V-shaped lower abs until they disappear into the
pair of shorts that sits low on his hips.
Sudden heat
shoots through my body, making my cheeks tingle from the force of it. My brain
uses that moment of distraction to finally kick back in again, reminding me of
the situation at hand.
A total stranger
is standing in my kitchen.
Half-naked.
And we’re all
alone in this house.
