Bad boy quarterback Tyler Harris plays ball for a living and breaks hearts for a hobby.

With two championships in as many years, Tyler is the best quarterback in the league. Gorgeous and rich, he’s at the top of his game. Women love him. Men want to be him. Only Tyler’s not feeling the love. In fact, he’s not feeling anything at all. Licking his wounds after a scandal and a breakup with his long-time girlfriend, he retreats to a run-down mansion on a remote island in the Pacific Northwest. Once there, Tyler is blindsided by the sassy redhead next door. He knows that he’s met his match and possibly his soulmate. There’s one problem. She despises him.

Lavender Mead has a good reason to dislike jocks, namely an absentee father who deserted the family to coach college football. Maybe that explains her penchant for bad boys — especially those who play ball. Her new neighbor seems just that type. Yet Tyler’s not the shallow superstar she expected, and she’s inexplicably drawn to football’s bad boy. The two are so hot together, they’re combustible.

As the clock ticks down, can they commit to each other forever? Or will they both fall short of the goal at the last minute?

PRAISE FOR JAMI DAVENPORT:

“Within the pages, you will find a heartfelt story line riddled with drama, passion, raw emotion, and of course the good stuff… heat!”–Red’s Romance Reviews

“A very delicious, sports enthusiast romance!! Would definitely read more of this series.”–Shock and Awe Blog

“Jami Davenport makes it hard to sit on the sidelines and not root her characters on.”–I Love Romance

SnapDecision_Teaser3.jpg

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Snap Decision is a pretty perfect enemies to lovers romance. The hero is a cocky jock hiding a sensitive side, and the heroine is a sassy spitfire who refuses to take his BS. And she hates jocks, so the deck is stacked against Tyler from the start.

But we all know there is a fine line between love and hate, and Tyler and Lavendar keep dancing around that line throughout this story. But he’s kind of lost his purpose and passion in life, and she wants to push him to be the best man he can be. Together, they complement each other wonderfully.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Insistent, by Kaylee Ryan

 

Title: Insistent

Series: Soul Serenade #4

Author: Kaylee Ryan
Genre: New Adult

Release Date: November 27, 2018

 

Blurb
She came into my life without warning. It wasn’t love at
first sight, but the more time I spent with her, I knew she was the one. Our
relationship was complicated, and I knew I had my work cut out for me. I have
to prove to her that she’s all I see. That no matter how the past reads, we can
re-write the future.
He’s the sexiest one of the group, in my personal opinion. We’re friends, and
colleagues, well technically he’s my boss. He’s also the man that consumes my
thoughts, and my desires. I have too much at stake to allow myself to jump into
bed with him, but I really really want to.

One taste and I know I’ll never be the same. Cassidy can prolong this all she
wants, but I know how it ends. When she’s mine.

He’s relentless, and I let him drag me under his spell. It
can’t happen again, but Gavin, he’s Insistent that this is just the beginning.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 3.5 Stars

Insistent is the 4th and final book in the Soul Serenade series; I have not read the other books, and while this is a standalone, there are some details that I think I would have appreciated more had I read the rest of this series first.

Gavin is kind of the last man standing amongst his friends and bandmates: He’s single, watching the rest of his friends get married and start families. He’s long had a thing for Cassidy, but since she works for the band AND Gavin is one of the record company owners, she’s hesitant to get involved with him due to their professional connection.

The story itself is sweet, and Gavin really goes out of his way to move heaven and earth to prove to Cassidy that she’s the one for him and he wants to take care of her. He’s very INSISTENT about it. There are some big swoon-worthy moments in this book, but I just had a hard time connecting with the main characters. They just didn’t click for me, and I got annoyed with how many times Cassidy pushed Gavin away before finally giving in.

Despite my lack of connection with the characters, the story itself is a good one, and it has a wonderful HEA. I’m sure fans of this series will love Gavin and Cassidy’s tale! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Excerpt
I reminded myself of the bubbly pink thing in my glass and
began pulling my hand toward my face when the cup was jerked from my grasp.
“Delicious,” Sean murmured as he sipped from the rim of my
glass, lifting his eyebrows and grinning hopelessly. Is this real?
“Where did you come from?” I snapped. “What are you doing
here?” The words fell out in accusation, but I was more surprised than
anything. I stopped dancing and stared at him, tanned and gorgeous. His beard
disappeared into delectable stubble. I had to stop myself from wanting to touch
it, to touch him. His wavy hair was cropped, forcing my focus to his glowing
emerald eyes which stared at me.
“Meeting Jesse. What are you doing here?” This creep owes me
an explanation. Or does he?
“Come here.” I pulled on his wrist and walked with Sean
through the gaping wall of windows that was open for the evening, blasted with
heat lamps and fans. Sorry, planet. In the dim glow of the streetlights I
observed Sean was wearing all black; dress pants and shirt, of course teasingly
unbuttoned at the top with his cuffs rolled over his muscular forearms. I
continued sipping from my glass, eyeing him suspiciously. I wasn’t sure what to
say, how to feel, or if he was actually standing there.
“I thought you were still in Miami,” I pressed, taking a sip
from my drink.
“I thought you’d be spending a Saturday night with your
boyfriend.” His top lip rolled from between his teeth, jaw clenched, and eyes
wild.
“Girls’ night,” I reminded him, smiling coyly. “When did you
get back?”
“Tuesday.”
“You waited almost a week to tell me.” I swung at his arm
playfully. “I’m hurt. I’m going back inside and you owe me a drink now that
you’ve tampered with this one.”
I turned to walk back into the bar and I felt his fingers
quickly wrap around my wrist and lift the glass from my hand. “I think you’ve
had enough, Ave.”
My body warmed with his hand along the middle of my back as
Sean guided me back to the booth. I was only on my second drink and resentful
he thought it was his place to tell me I had enough. I had enough of his
stupid, handsome face, that was for sure. I had enough of him the last time I
saw him, when he left me alone. Shudder. I didn’t have enough then. Seeing him
next to me, feeling his skin on my back, his eyes burning into mine, reminded
me of how much not enough I had of Sean.
Ella and Lizzie were still dancing in the middle of the
floor, leaving our booth empty. I noticed Jesse turn from the bar and gaze in
our direction, his mouth spreading into a playful smile. It was one twisted
reunion, and I couldn’t stop myself from attending.
Author Bio
Fueled by coffee and rainy days, shelves of books consuming
her home in the Pacific Northwest, and a vivid imagination, Fiona writes about
love because she believes the world needs more of it. She could spend eternity
lost in a story, taken into someone’s thoughts while she is left lingering
there long after the pages have turned. Fiona works to meld themes in the
current world and spin them into stories of longing, determination, and hope.

Love With Me, the latest in the beloved With Me In Seattle Series by New York Times Bestselling Author Kristen Proby is Live!

Love With Me AMAZON.jpg

Jace Crawford heals hearts for a living. More than that, medicine is his life. To become the leading cardiothoracic surgeon on the west coast, he’s made sacrifices. No social life. He barely has time to sleep. Love? Forget about it. But when everything goes horribly wrong on his table, and he unexpectedly loses a patient, Jace is suspended from work.

When a man has nothing but his job, what does he do when that’s gone?

Joy Thompson collects unwanted strays. A dog with one eye, a three-legged cat, a bird that swears like a sailor? All part and parcel of her veterinary business. It helps pass the time.

Until Jace calls out of the blue to ask her out on a real date. Spending extra time with him is dangerous. Her feelings for her best friend have always been stronger than simple companionship. If she gets attached, what happens when he goes back to work and leaves her behind?

But as the weeks progress, falling for each other is inevitable. This time, Jace’s heart is the one that will need fixing before both of them end up broken.

About Kristen:

Kristen was born and raised in a small resort town in her beloved Montana. In her mid-twenties, she decided to stretch her wings and move to the Pacific Northwest, where she made her home for more than a dozen years.

During that time, Kristen wrote many romance novels and joined organizations such as RWA and other small writing groups. She spent countless hours in workshops, and more mornings than she can count up before the dawn so she could write before going to work. She submitted many manuscripts to agents and editors alike, but was always told no. In the summer of 2012, the self-publishing scene was new and thriving, and Kristen had one goal: to publish just one book. It was something she longed to cross off of her bucket list.

Not only did she publish one book, she’s since published close to thirty titles, many of which have hit the USA Today, New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists. She continues to self publish, best known for her With Me In Seattle and Boudreaux series, and is also proud to work with William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins, with the Fusion Series.

Kristen and her husband, John, make their home in her hometown of Whitefish, Montana with their two pugs and two cats.

Author: Jo Michaels
Genre: YA Sweet Holiday Romance
Editor: Tia Silverthorne Bach with INDIE Books Gone Wild
Publication Date: November 27th, 2018
 
Blurb:
Seventeen-year-old Evelyn Hart is a broken shell of her former self. She can’t even talk to the cute barista in the mall who asks for her number without having a panic attack afterward. Barely holding herself together, she heads to the Caymans with her family for a little pre-Christmas trip, needing time to focus on her future career as an artist.
All is well until they check in at the hotel, and Evelyn comes face-to-face with the boy from the mall, Adam. Believing she has a boyfriend, Adam tells her he just wants be friends, and she agrees. They spend their entire vacation hanging out together.
Falling in love wasn’t in her plan, and now, she has no idea how to tell him about the lie—or the incident that left her in pieces—because she’s terrified he’ll run. So, Evelyn lets him return to New York without saying a word.
All she can hope for is understanding from Adam and a little Christmas magic to help her open her heart to someone once again.

Jo Michaels is…
Hi, I’m Jo. Let’s forget all the “Jo Michaels is blah, blah, blah” stuff and just go with it. I’m a voracious reader (often reading more than one book at a time), a writer, a book reviewer, a mom, a wife, and one of the EICs at INDIE Books Gone Wild. I have an almost photographic memory and tend to make people cringe at the number of details I can recall about them and/or their book(s). My imagination follows me around like a conjoined twin and causes me to space out pretty often or laugh out loud randomly in completely inappropriate situations.
I have a degree in graphic design, and my journey to the end was one few students who begin that program ever complete. However, this was one case where my memory and OCD tendencies helped me. Graduation was one of the most amazing days of my life. But, my most amazing day was when my now husband proposed. Every little girl dreams of being Cinderella someday, and he pulled off the proposal of fantasies.
At the risk of sounding cliché, I’m going to let it out there and say how much I absolutely adore the man I’m married to. Along with my children, he’s my whole world.
I’ve lived in Louisiana, Tennessee, and Georgia, but I’ve had my feet in almost every state. Traveling is something I adore, and have plans to someday see the Mongolia I’ve written about in Yassa.
One of my favorite things is hearing from fans! You can find me on social media most any day of the week. Connect! I’d love to hear from you.

“What is with all this glittery stuff?” Evie’s frustration grew as she slapped at another rack of sparkly outfits.
“Duh. It’s nearly Christmas. Everything’s gonna have some kind of glitz happening.” Shana plopped on the couch and threw herself backward, draping her forearm over her face. “You’re killing me. It’s a good thing you’re my best friend, or I would’ve traded you in a long time ago.”
“Shut. Up.” Grabbing a scarf, Evie chucked it at her friend’s head. “You know you love me.”
A grin bloomed on her over-glossed lips. “I do, but that doesn’t mean you’re not being a brat right now. Why don’t we just go to the freaking swimsuit store? You know they’ll have something beachy.”
“Have you seen their prices?”
“Yeah, but it’s not like your family is hurting for cash. What does it matter?” She sat up and threw the scarf back on the rack. It hit the metal, paused for a second, and slowly slid to the floor.
Evie bent over to pick it up and hang it properly as she answered, “Ever wonder why we’re not destitute? My parents are super frugal.”
“You guys are the definition of yuppies.”
With a sigh, she shrugged and waved her hand. “Fine. Let’s go to the swimsuit store.”
They stopped off at the coffee shop for a couple of lattes on the way. One of the baristas took the girls’ orders, and they moved to the end of the counter to wait while he fixed their drinks.
“Girl, he was eying you hard,” Shana said.
Evie turned back to look at the guy again, and she couldn’t stop the quirk of her lip when she saw him glance up, turn red, and go back to what he was doing. He was cute in a boy-band kind of way. His blond hair curled at the ends and was just long enough to graze the tops of thick eyebrows over honey brown eyes. She turned away when he looked at her again, and she grinned at Shana.
“I told you so.”
“And?”
“He’s fine as hell. If you don’t get his number, I’m going to.” Putting her hand on her hip, she pursed her lips and widened her eyes.
“No, you’re not, and neither am I. We have stuff to do.”

ONLY LOVE RB BANNER.jpg

“Heartfelt, beautiful and sexy!”

– Lauren Blakely, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Only Love, an all-new sexy standalone romance from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow is available now!

Only Love AMAZON.jpg

A gorgeous former Marine with a tortured soul.

The beautiful, compassionate therapist living next door.

A meddlesome grandma determined to get them together.

I was expecting a proposal on my birthday, and I got dumped instead.

How could I have been so clueless?

Grams knew exactly how to distract me.

The “cute boy next door” who’s been helping her with yard work clearly needs a little therapy. Who better to call than her newly single therapist granddaughter?

She even fakes dementia to get me to visit, and now that I’m here she’s doing everything in her power to throw us together.

Not that I’m complaining. Ryan is the sexiest man I’ve ever met–I mean the full package, from the chiseled jaw to the massive shoulders to the rippling abs. (And yes, his package is full, and he knows exactly how to deliver it.) He makes me want to get out of my head and follow my heart. He makes me want to take chances I never thought I’d take.

He also makes me want to take my clothes off. A lot.

But he’s moody and challenging–one minute he’s an open book, and the next he’s completely closed off. He holds me like he’ll never let go, but insists he wants to be alone.

Some wounds are so deep, only love can heal them.

How can I convince him to let me try?

About J. BENGTSSON

A professional stay-at-home-mom for twenty-one years, Jill started her writing career in 2016 after reading a really bad rockstar romance. Although she had no previous writing experience and no desire to become an author, Jill was convinced she could write a better story.

And so began Cake: A Love Story. She wrote the novel for fun and added every single thing she’d ever wanted to read in a romance. Embarrassed by her newfound hobby, Jill kept her writing a secret from her family.

When the story was complete, she turned to Amazon to get the feedback she desired. Not thinking the book would ever sell, Jill planned to pull Cake off Amazon once it got a review or two but that never happened because, within a week of its release, Cake began to soar up the bestseller charts. Not only was Jill shocked by Cake’s success but now she had a whole new burgeoning career on her hands…and some explaining to do. Needless to say, the news of Jill’s secret book bay came as a complete shock to her husband and three children.

Jill is now a full-time writer.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Sex Material, by Victoria Ashley

 

 

Title: Sex Material
Author: Victoria Ashley
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: November 26, 2018
Blurb
Sex Material…
It’s what
I’m known around town for.
A rock-hard
body, covered in tattoos with a sizeable bulge that women spend their nights
fantasizing about.
Women track me down, needing someone
that will fuck them rough without holding back.
They find me because they need a
distraction from reality. They need something to get their mind off of the
boyfriend who screwed them over or the job promotion they got passed over on at
work.
Sometimes it’s just because they need
someone reckless in the bedroom before settling down with the right one.
‘Cause I’m sure as hell not that guy.
Nowhere close.
I’m not the suit wearing, flower-buying
guy you take home to meet the parents. I’m not the guy who will make you feel
all warm and fucking fuzzy inside.
Not anymore.
I was boyfriend material once. Would’ve
even made a good husband. That was before everything good in my world got
ripped away, leaving me broken beyond repair.
These women come to me because they need an escape to cope with the
real world, but none of them know I
need it more than them. I need something to make me feel alive. Something to
get my heart beating again.
Then Cami shows up in my hometown,
broken-hearted and pissed off at the world, needing an escape from her cheating
ex.
She’s the only one that doesn’t want to
use my body. In fact, she wants nothing to do with it and has no problems
telling me so.
She’s interested in one thing only from
me—to move into my rental property. But the problem with that is the more we
fight, the deeper she buries herself in my soul.

Sex material is what I’m good at, but for
the first time, it may not be enough.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

I enjoyed this book so much more than I was expecting to! I was figuring it would be a sexy story with an arrogant and cocky hero, and it was… but there was so much more to Jensen and my heart broke for him!

It’s hate at first sight for the cocky construction and rental company owner and the sassy schoolteacher, Cami, who is looking for a new place to live after catching her boyfriend cheating. They definitely get off on the wrong foot, and their subsequent interactions go pretty much the same way. But there is such an intense push and pull between them — as much as they hate one another, they are incredibly attracted to the other as well. And for Jensen — who has pretty much lived the past few years as nothing more than a one-and-done stud for the local ladies — what he starts feelinng for Cami terrifies him.

Jensen is carrying some major baggage around, and the last thing he wants is to break Cami as a result of his demons. But will he take a chance and realize that it’s easier to carry that kind of load when you share what’s holding you back?

For as gruff and nasty as Jensen comes off, there is an incredibly sweet guy underneath that hard exterior. And when Cami uncovers the soft soul that’s buried underneath, these two build a beautiful life together. The guy who thought he was worth nothing more than sex material becomes the best kind of boyfriend material and then husband material.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Excerpt
When I look
up Cami is standing barefoot in a little white summer dress with her long
blonde hair pulled up into a lose bun.
The sight of her sun-kissed skin and long legs has my dick instantly
hardening beneath my jeans, and the moment my gaze moves up to her scowling
lips, it manages to harden even more.
“Is this
even a real application?” She holds the paper up and points at one of the extra questions I added before printing
it. “How many times a week did Douglas make you come? Really?”
“It’s
definitely a real application.” I stand, wiping my hands down my jeans. “Did
you answer every question?”
She shakes
her head and lets out a sarcastic laugh. “Did I… did I answer every question?
Of course I didn’t, because there’s at least three that are irrelevant to me
living here. You’re insane if you think I’m going to give you that kind of
information.”
Shaking my
head in disappointment, I move toward Cami, stopping once I’m standing right in
front of her. “Then you didn’t listen.” I point out. “I told you to complete
the application and bring it back to me within a few hours, and here you are
four fucking hours later standing in my
kitchen with an incomplete form.”
She
swallows nervously, her gaze roaming over my half-naked body as I take another
step closer to her, my arms now on either side of her waist, her back against
the counter. “Now answer the fucking
question, Cami.”
“Who said
he made me come weekly?” she questions stiffly. “Maybe I can’t answer that question.”
“What a
shame,” I say against her neck, before moving my lips up it, stopping just
beneath her ear. “Want to know how many times a week I would make you come?”
When she doesn’t say anything, I lick my lips and continue. “Fourteen.”
“You do
realize there’s only seven days in a week, right?” Her voice is weak, and I
can’t help but hope it’s from my body being so close.
“Exactly,”
I whisper in her ear. “But that’s just the number of times I would, not the
number that I could.”
“You’re
full of it.” She places her hands on my chest, causing me to take a slight step
back.
“Am I?” I
grip her waist with both hands. “I could prove right now that I’m not.”
