Blurb:

It’s not everyday you have the number one box office star in your car.
Actually, not any day for someone like me, Nova Sparks, a plain Jane hair
stylist.

 

And the real kick in the rear end? Not only will he be in my car, in a few
weeks, he’ll be in my life— as my stepbrother.

 

Fate has brought Ethan Hale into my small Montana world and kept him
unattainable. How’s that for cruel?

 

Now I’m stuck being near him. Stuck with the tabloids and paparazzi. Stuck
with these feelings I shouldn’t be having.

 

The only way to get unstuck is accept I can’t have him and send him back to
Hollywood.

 

The only problem? He may have other plans.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

It’s been a long time since I’ve read a stepbrother romance — my favorite trope — and Stuck did not disappoint! And then there was the fact that Ethan is a hot movie star, adding an extra layer of problematic to this forbidden romance.

The heat between Nova and Ethan simmered from the get-go, that first moment when she picked up the jerk at the airport. I loved getting to know Ethan as Nova did, finding that he was a hidden gem of a man underneath the a-hole exterior.

And this story was such an awesome slow burn! I was waiting and waiting for them to finally act on their feelings and it was explosive once they finally did! But outside of their little cocoon, the real world is frowning on their relationship. Will The affair with her stepbrother ruin Nova’s big career break? Will the pressures of Hollywood force Ethan to give up the one person who looks at him for him, and not the superstar machine?

They are both stuck between a rock and a hard place… and I adored every minute of this sexy story! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review

Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations…

He wore suits and I wore biker boots.
He went to university and I went to trade school.
He lived in a big home and I lived in a tiny apartment.

When my world was turned upside down, he took me in his arms and promised to help me find a new direction. Now I’ve lost my job, been separated from my friends, and any day an eviction notice was bound to show up.

Unfortunately, my journey was tougher than he had imagined.

When nothing goes right, look who’s left.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

 

I adored this wonderful opposites-attract romance! I’ve read so many stories where the guy was the one from the wrong side of the tracks, but I loved that Leo (Leona) in this story is the motorcycle mechanic and Ian is quite literally a rocket scientist Brainiac!

Leo’s had a crush on Ian for most of her childhood, and at there’s finally an a-ha moment where he sees her as something more than the friend-of-the-family little girl who has always been hanging around. But their relationship, once Leo and Ian finally get together, is far from rosy. There are some real ups and downs; Leo has not had an easy life, and her world totally falls apart. Will Ian stand by her?

I’ve not read any of the other Iron Orchids books, but I will definitely check them out. This group of friends are hard-core loyal, and I love the little snippets that DN gives about the other girls. I love how different Ian and Leo are, but how well they complement one another. The epilogue set 18 years later is one of the best HEA’s I’ve ever read!

You see, my sexy mystery man is none other than Jax Roland, the drop-dead gorgeous home improvement star of The Right Stud, and he’s got an offer I can’t refuse.

With a suitcase in one hand and a hammer in the other, he wants to move in and renovate my old house while he films his new show.

Now Live: The Lies I’ve Told, by J.L. Berg

 TLIT-SBPRBANNER-RB.jpg

The Lies I’ve Told by J.L. Berg
Publication Date: June 4th, 2018
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Lies_iBooks

Synopsis: From USA Today bestselling author J.L. Berg comes a brand new By the Bay stand-alone novel…

Everything was going according to plan…

After years of working my way up the corporate ladder, it was finally my time to shine. I was about to receive the promotion of a lifetime.

But just like that, my life was destroyed with a single career crushing email.

Now, I am headed back home to North Carolina, under the ruse of an extended vacation to help run the family inn while my sister is on maternity leave. After all, what is family for? Plus, a few days at the beach could definitely help uncomplicate this crazy life of mine.

Enter Aiden Fisher.

Aiden is a guest at my sister’s inn. He’s wicked hot, a huge flirt and has one of the sexiest British accents I’ve ever heard. But beyond all that, I see a darkness in his soul, as if he’s carrying a great weight upon his shoulders.

I find myself pushing back my trip home to Florida in hopes that maybe I’ll look into those hazel brown eyes and finally see truth shining back instead of lies. That maybe he’ll stop running and tell me the truth for once.

But you know what they say about liars? It takes one to know one and I’ve been telling the biggest lie of all – I’ve fallen hopelessly in love with Aiden.

And isn’t that the scariest truth of all?

New Release: Only Him, by Melanie Harlow

Only-Him-SBPR-RB-Banner

MHOnlyHimBookCover5x8_MEDIUMOnly Him, an all-new sexy and emotional second chance romance from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow is available NOW!

MHOnlyHimBookWrapFB

Sometimes your first love deserves a second chance…

He was my first crush, my first kiss, my first everything.

But I’m not a lovesick teenager anymore, and I’d never let that cocky troublemaker break my heart again.

So when he shows up out of the blue asking me to have dinner with him “for old time’s sake,” I say I will. After all, it’s been twelve years, and I’m stronger and smarter than I was back then.

Except…he still does something to me. He’s got those eyes that make me weak, those hands that drive me wild, and a body I can’t resist—especially once I see the tattoos. It doesn’t take long for our trip down memory lane to go from sweet to sizzling.

We’re just as good together as we were back then—better, even—and I’m willing to give the only man I’ve ever loved another chance.

But he’s got to tell me the truth.

* * *

All I wanted was to see her again. Tell her I’m sorry. Make her smile.

Okay, that’s a lie. I wanted to do more than that—a lot more. But I know she’s better off without me, and I promised myself I’d behave.

Except I’ve never been much good at keeping promises…or my hands to myself when I’m around her.

I can make her laugh, I can make her cry, I can make her body surrender to mine in ways that neither of us could have imagined back then. I can—and I do—love her more than she’ll ever know.

But I can’t tell her the real reason why I’m here.

And I can’t stay.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: The Art Of Loyalty, by Monique Orgeron

Title: Art of Loyalty
Series: A Stern Family Saga #4
Author: Monique Orgeron
Genre: Contemporary Romance w/ Suspense
Release Date: May 24, 2018


In life there are things that will never leave you and loyalty that can never be broken.

 

As a boy, Vincent Stern suffered abuse that continues to haunt him long after the physical scars have healed.

His hatred turned into a need for revenge.

That need turned into guilt that would never leave him, creating a darkness in his life, festering and tormenting his mind.

But with all his darkness comes light.

A woman he never even considered, could one day become his home.

Does she possess the ability to save him from himself?

Sometimes life makes decisions for you.

Isn’t it funny how things turn out when life forces your hand? 

In tragedy you do things you would never see yourself doing. 

Choices had to be made, even if she was too young to make them.

She will never regret those decisions, but she will also never allow herself to dream beyond the life that she has already resigned herself to.

Until one night, her life changes and with it, her heart.

Can they save each other and find the love they both deserve?


Sandra – “Once again, this author has amazed me with her writing skills! Another masterpiece.”

A Woman & Her Books – “This author can make you feel so many emotions ranging from hatred to love, anger to sorrow.”

Carla – “Once again, this amazingly talented author has created a story that will draw you in from beginning to end.”


I’m ready to bring her home, but I find her passed out, sleeping peacefully. “Fuck!”

It takes me about five minutes to find her address. If people only knew how easy it is to find out everything there is about them, it would scare the shit out of most. Once I have her address programmed into my GPS, I start driving her home. Pulling up to her upscale townhouse, I exit the car. Opening the back door, I lay my hands on my hips and take a deep breath looking at her passed out. Now to get her out. I grab her purse first, digging for her keys. Then I walk to her front door, unlocking it and throw her purse on a small table in the entryway. Now, to retrieve sleeping beauty. I pull her into my arms, carrying her into the house. She wakes with her head lying on my chest as I close the door.

“Vin, where are we?”

“You’re home now. Which direction do I go?”

“Oh shit, I fell asleep, didn’t I? You can put me down here, I’ll be fine.”

I look down at her and maybe too roughly demand, “Where?!”

Her eyes get a little bigger, but she points to the stairs, “Second door on the right.”

I carry her to her bedroom and set her on her feet. She instantly takes off her heels and proceeds to remove her skirt. At first, I’m shocked, but then I can’t quit staring. She gives me a knowing look and smiles up at me when she starts to unbutton her blouse.

“Maybe you should wait until I leave to take off your shirt.”

She gives me a devious smile and says, “Why, are you scared? I’m not.”

Now she has me intrigued. “Maybe you should be, you don’t know me.”

“I know all I need to. I’ve heard about you Vin. The girls all say ‘Vin Stern is a man of mystery. The quiet one that watches but doesn’t touch.’ Why is that Vin? Don’t you want to touch?”

Her shirt falls to the floor and she stands there looking like sin. All legs, with a tight body covered in a black lace bra and thong. Perfection. She saunters to her bed.

“You don’t touch, but do you like to watch?”

She lays her body down in the middle of her bed, bending her legs and spreading them wide.

“I saw you watching me tonight. Is that what you’re into? Do you like watching from afar?” She slides her hand down her body and slips into her panties. 

“Then watch me Vin. I know you want to.”

She looks directly at me and says in a low sultry voice, “I want you to.”

I’m frozen. I know this is wrong, I shouldn’t be here. She’s drunk and even if she weren’t, she’s Gabriel’s. Well not his, but she has been with him through the years as a regular. It’s wrong ten different ways but I can’t turn away. I continue to watch as her fingers pull her thong away to put her bare pussy further on display. She works her fingers over her sex just like she likes it and I study every movement. I watch as her fingers penetrate and how she glistens. The sounds of her moans are getting breathy, heightened in desire. Her hips raise off the bed as her fingers slide deeper inside her. It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever witnessed. I couldn’t walk out that door if my life depended on it.

“You like this Vin? Do you like watching me pleasure myself? I’m going to cum so hard for you, baby.”

Her head falls back as she makes herself cum. I watch with fascination as her body writhes in pleasure. Once her body has come down from ecstasy, she looks back up at me with a smile from ear to ear.

“Was it good for you?”

I walk up to her and grab her hard by the back of her neck, pulling her up to my face. “Don’t fuck with me! You don’t know what lies beneath!”

With her still in my grasp, I grab her hand and suck her fingers into my mouth, tasting how sweet she really is.

I release her and start walking out of the room. I hear her laugh and yell at me, “I know exactly what lies beneath Vin. You’re just scared of letting him out to play.”
blog_review

3.5 Stars

There is a whole lot going on in this book, the 4th installment in the Stern Family Saga. Vin has some dark secrets, and is quite a damaged soul. He has some major demons that he’s battling, and Brittany, the high-class escort/protogee of Vin’s adoptive mother Catherine, seems to be the only person who has been able to make him feel at peace.

But we all know that secrets don’t stay buried forever, and the ghosts of the past have a way of working their way into the present. Especially in a mob romance! But at the end of the day, will the connection that Brittany and Vin have be enough to withstand the obstacles in their way?

The banter and connection between the characters is good right from the start, and the story itself is gritty and dark, but has some really tender moments between the hero and heroine. I have not read the previous books in this series, and I figured that this book was a standalone since the blurb did not indicate otherwise. But there are quite a few holes that I found in the story because I was not familiar with the other brothers, and the book does end on a cliffhanger, presumably setting up the next story to come. So reader beware. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Written by Monique Orgeron’s eldest, most beautiful, and intelligent daughter. (My sister is going to hate this part.)

My mom happens to be the most caring, loving, and stubborn person I know, well anyone knows. She gives 100% percent of herself to everyone and has given up so much of herself for my sister and I. For twenty-one years she has poured her heart and soul into making sure we know that we are loved and that we can do anything we put our minds too, but it was about time she figured that out about herself. 

Up until this year I hadn’t seen my mom do anything for only her, but this book has allowed her to travel the world through the pages of a book, make new friends, and feel the joy of doing something exciting. 

There is a new light behind her eyes and it is just making me feel more joy than she can ever imagine. While she might be annoying most of the time, I am so thrilled that she is finally allowing herself to grow as a person and not spend all of her energy on her family. 

It has been a long journey of self-discovery for my mom; she has gone from domestic supermom to domestic goddess throughout the process of writing. 

We are so very excited and proud of you! I love you as big as the world.

-Bria and Tony

✮✮✮PART-TIME LOVER is here! Grab your copy today! ✮✮✮

I’ll say this about Christian — he made one hell of a first impression. When I first saw the strapping man, he was doing handstands naked on a dock along the canal. His crown jewels were far more entertaining than anything else I’d seen on the boat tour, so I did what any curious woman would do — I took his photo. I might have looked at the shot a few dozen times. Little did I know I’d meet him again, a year later, at a secret garden bar in the heart of the city, where I’d learn that his mind and his mouth were even more captivating. But given the way my heart had been trampled, I wanted only a simple deal — No strings. No expectations.

Our arrangement worked well enough until the day I needed a lot more from him…

***

Let me just say, this whole part-time lover thing was her idea. I’d have gone all-in from the start, but hey, when a gorgeous, brilliant woman invites you into her bed, and only her bed…well, I said yes.

But then, one hysterical phone call from my brother later, begging me to find myself a wife so grandfather’s business stays in the family, and I need a promotion with Elise. Turns out a full-time husband suits her needs too, and a temporary marriage of convenience ought to do the trick, until we can simply untie the knot…

As long as no one finds out…
As long as no one gets hurt…
As long as no one falls in love…

But our ending was one I never saw coming.

From start to finish, Part-Time Lover will have you laughing and swooning and falling in love with love.” -Yvette, Nose Stuck in a Book

 

 

 

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Part-Time Lover is an enjoyable marriage-of-convenience story between two characters we previously met in LB’s Wanderlust: Christian and Elise are the friends of Wanderlust’s Griffin anJoy, who realize that she was the woman who called out to him while he was doing naked handstands on a Copenhagen dock a year ago and then stood him up.

In Part-Time Lover we get the full backstory about their initial meeting in Copenhagen, what happened later that night when Elise stood him up, and the plane ride they unknowingly shared to London at the end of that weekend. A year later, in the present day, fate intervenes again for Elise and Christian when they are introduced by Joy and Griffin. Elise was badly burned by her late husband and as charming as she finds Christian, she’s reluctant to get romantically involved. Thus begins their Friday night non-dates, an adorable way for them to get to know one another better.

But when Christian’s family’s company is at risk due to a marriage clause, Elise steps up to be his wife for three months, since she’ll benefit from his input and expertise in her own advertising work. As these stories always go, it’s not long before Christian and Elise are falling in love, but each are under the impression that the other doesn’t feel the same way.

The story is a common trope, but LB so wonderfully crafts a story about a wounded heroine, and a hero who is determined to prove to her that he can be everything she needs him to be. The brutal honesty that Elise and Christian have with one another from the start is part of their charm as a couple, which is why I wanted to toss my kindle when they wouldn’t confess to their true feelings for one another!

But the moment where Christian takes matters into his own hands and confesses how he feels? Perfection! This was wonderful story about how a part-time relationship turned into something beautiful and ever-lasting. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

About Dirty:

After returning home due to her father’s illness, Elise Phillips reunites with her college friends, including Luke Long. Luke was a player back then, and Elise had always prided herself on not being another notch on his bedpost.

Luke is still gorgeous though, and he knows it. And he checks all her boxes—intelligent and sexy with muscles and a hard body.

Following a night of beer and shots, her resistance runs out, and he finally does check her box. And Elise knows that it can never happen again.

Luke had always thought of Elise as the pretty girl that was friends with his roommate’s girlfriend, but now she’s all grown up. When their night of passion rocks Luke’s world he realizes he must have her again.

The two enter a friends-with-benefits relationship with the agreement that they’re just going to have fun. The only thing is, with mutual friends involved, they have to hide their indiscretion.

But what harm can come from a dirty little secret?

Exclusive Excerpt:

Elise grabbed the triangle and began racking the balls, putting them in their proper place on the pool table. She grabbed the one ball and put it at the apex when Rachel walked over and leaned against the side of the pool table.

“Are you having a good time?” her friend asked.

“Yeah. I’m glad you asked me to come. I totally kicked Luke’s ass.”

Rachel smiled, but it was hesitant.

Elise stopped what she was doing. “What’s wrong?”

Rachel stood up straight. “I think we’re going to take off. I don’t feel well. Shelly and Joe are leaving, too. Shelly’s tired, and she wants to go home and put her swollen feet up.”

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah,” Rachel said, putting her hand over her stomach. “I think it was something I ate.”

Elise narrowed her eyes and studied her friend. “Liar. You just want to go home and get laid.”

Rachel blushed. “Guilty. I haven’t seen Sean for a week.” She stuck her bottom lip out.

Elise laughed. “I understand. Go have fun with your man.”

Rachel looked around the room, as if she was calculating the situation.

“What is it?” Elise asked.

“Nothing.”

“Rachel, just spit it out. What’s wrong?”

“I don’t want to leave you here with Luke.”

Elise shook her head. “I’ll be fine. We’re having fun. I’m not ready to go home yet.”

Her friend looked over her shoulder to where Luke stood at the bar, talking to Sean. They seemed to be having a serious conversation. She looked back at Elise. “I just want you to be careful.”

Elise tilted her head. “How do you mean?”

“It’s been over six months since you and Jason broke up. I don’t want to see you get hurt again.”

Elise shook her head in confusion. “I still don’t get it. Why would I get hurt?”

Rachel sighed. “Just don’t sleep with Luke, okay? He’s grown up quite a bit, but he’s still Luke. I’ve never seen him get serious with anyone, and I don’t want your heart to get broken.”

Elise threw her head back and laughed. “We are just playing pool. Nothing’s going to happen.”

Rachel didn’t laugh. “I know you haven’t slept with anyone since before you and Jason broke up.” She leaned in close and lowered her voice. “And I know how horny you get when you’ve been drinking. I also know that sex with Jason was mediocre, at best, so you’re probably really jonesing for sex now. And let’s face it; we both know that Luke probably fucks like a rock star.”

Elise laughed again and shook her head. “Trust me, Rach, you have nothing to worry about. I am never going to sleep with Luke Long.”

********

The next morning, Elise woke, flat on her stomach, disoriented, with a piercing headache that only came from a hangover. While she’d been living with her parents for about a month now, she’d often still wake up in confusion from forgetting where she was at first. It’d sometimes take her a minute to realize she wasn’t in her house in Denver anymore. She opened one eye to check the time, but the alarm clock wasn’t hers or the one in her parents’ guest room.

She sat up, jarring her already-sore head, and let out a moan. Thankfully, dark shades were covering the windows, casting the room in shadows and hiding the evil sun.

What happened last night? Her memory was fuzzy, and it hurt to think.

She realized she was naked and pulled the sheet up to cover herself as she slowly looked around the room, recognizing nothing. Nothing but the sleeping naked male lying on the bed next to her.

Oh God. No! Panic raced through her body, and memories rose to taunt her.

She’d slept with Luke Long. She’d slept with. Luke. Long.

She whimpered and closed her eyes. She had managed to escape college without screwing the guy, only to have dirty, dirty sex with him last night. And that was only the stuff she could remember.

She was never drinking again.

If Rachel ever found out, she was going to give Elise so much shit—after she quizzed Elise on whether the whole fucks-like-a-rock-star thing was true.

Elise couldn’t recall everything from last night after the rest of their friends had left the restaurant, and Luke and she had decided it would be fun to take a bunch of shots. But, now, she did know that, yes, Luke Long did indeed fuck like a rock star. Her sore vagina could attest to that.

I hate you, alcohol.

Luke shifted beside her, but the arm he had over his eyes remained where it was, and his breathing regulated and deepened again.

She really should get out of there before he woke up, but instead, she found herself staring at his beautiful body. Why does he have to be so gorgeous?

She moved her gaze from his face to down his muscular chest and stomach and noticed a blemish of some kind. She leaned closer to look at the red mark directly above his hip.

Are those teeth marks?

A memory surfaced. She’d bitten him so hard that she bruised him…after she went down on him…again. She dropped her head in her hand. She was such a slut.

She looked again at the wound, and her gaze moved to the thin white sheet that was covering one leg and only part of his penis. God, even flaccid, it was thick and long. She remembered thinking it was perfect. She might have even told him that she wanted to mold his dick, so she could use it on herself when she was alone. She moaned softly with embarrassment.

“Jesus, would you stop thinking? You’re making my hangover ten times worse.”

Elise jumped. “Would you stop scaring me?”

Luke chuckled and moved his arm from his face. His brown eyes glittered with amusement. “Sorry,” he said, but his tone indicated that he wasn’t the least bit remorseful.

And, now, she was regretting not getting the hell out of there right away.

 

About R.L. Kenderson:

R.L. Kenderson is two best friends writing under one name.

Renae has always loved reading, and in third grade, she wrote her first poem where she learned she might have a knack for this writing thing. Lara remembers sneaking her grandmother’s Harlequin novels when she was probably too young to be reading them, and since then, she knew she wanted to write her own.

When they met in college, they bonded over their love of reading and the TV show Charmed. What really spiced up their friendship was when Lara introduced Renae to romance novels. When they discovered their first vampire romance, they knew there would always be a special place in their hearts for paranormal romance. After being unable to find certain storylines and characteristics they wanted to read about in the hundreds of books they consumed, they decided to write their own.

One lives in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area and the other in the Kansas City area where they’re a sonographer/stay-at-home mom/wife and pharmacist/mother by day, and together they’re a sexy author by night. They communicate through phone, email, and whole lot of messaging.
