New Release: Sunny Shelly Reviews Back In The Game by Meghan Quinn

 

 

 

Single dad and hockey star, Calder Weiss has put his love life on the back burner for the past five years, raising his daughter and keeping up with the demands of his profession.

But all that changes the minute Rachel Perry runs into him in the most unlikely of places, right outside the men’s bathroom. Vibrant and enchanting, she captures his attention, making it impossible for him to walk away without scoring her number.

Their connection is immediate, their attraction palpable, and their relationship undeniable. But Rachel isn’t the only girl in Calder’s life which scares him, because Calder’s daughter already lost her mother. He doesn’t want Shea to lose someone close to her again, making Rachel’s task of breaking through Calder’s wall that much more difficult.

 

 

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Fairy Wing Stars

Back In The Game was first published as part of the Team Player anthology, and it was my favorite novella of the bunch. And I loved it just as much reading it a second time. If only it wasn’t so short! I really wish Quinn would have expanded this to a fuller novel becayse I want so much more of Calder and Rachel! But this story is short, sweet and sexy, a perfect quick hit that will put a smile on your face and some flutters in your belly.

Single dad Calder meets teacher Rachel in the most unusual, and completely adorable, way. He hasn’t dated much at all since his daughter Shea was born, making her the focus of his life. But when he meets Rachel, he wants to get “back in the game” for the first time. But is he willing to take a chance and let Rachel into his — and Shea’s — life??

Rachel was such an awesomely relatable heroine. I love her sense of humor, her quirks and insecurities, and the banter between them. Quinn makes great use of text messages between them to advance the romance, and gives the reader an insight to their connection.

Back In The Game also sets up the story for Calder’s friend and teammate Hayden, who is part of Three Blind Dates and the upcoming One Baby Daddy.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review for Sunny Shelly Reads book blog.

 

Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.

Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking.

Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

Bittersweet_Final_Full_Wrap.jpg

From two USA Today bestselling authors comes a tale of miscommunication and muffins.

Romy Love knows weddings. As the author of a hugely successful wedding blog, you’d think she’d have love covered. It is her last name, after all.

When it comes to her big day, Romy has the flowers picked out, a dress collecting dust in the back of her closet, and a preacher on standby. There’s just one problem: the groom doesn’t know it yet.

Romy has eyes for the Italian coffee god and single dad who owns the bakery in her building—she also has plans for his delicious buns—but in order to get her happily-ever-after, she has a few things to check off her list first:

Lose twenty pounds

Take over the blogging world one wedding at a time

Make Coffee Hottie fall in love with me

Yeah, this shouldn’t be difficult at all.

Excerpt

 

Hope
couldn’t find it in herself to blink, focused on God’s gift to womankind. Her
aunt’s invitation to dinner had come at the perfect time, giving Hope an excuse
to avoid her mother’s weekly nagathon. Since her idiot older brothers had
hooked up with the loves of their lives, her mother had deemed Hope fair game
again. So much for their pleasant détente, where Hope stopped blaming her
mother for her many issues and Linda Donnigan stopped getting on Hope for
breathing wrong.
Yet Hope
hadn’t anticipated seeing J.T. Webster. He hadn’t been at the last two dinners
Aunt Sophie had invited her to. “Greg?” she asked, her mind on other things.
Like how
incredible J.T. filled out a simple T-shirt and jeans. The man had the
prettiest brown skin, like a smooth chocolate caramel. Light but so filling.
She swallowed a sigh.
Liam was
white, and she knew J.T.’s mom had been black. She also must have been
gorgeous, because J.T. had his dad’s height and brawn, as well as the face of
an angel who liked to sin. A lot.
She
swallowed a sigh and continued to visually eat him up, wondering if the size of
his hands and feet could be correlated to the size of other things.
God, get your mind off sex, Hope. His father is
here! Aunt Sophie is here! And you’re off men, remember?
“Yeah,
Greg,” J.T. said, looking concerned. “Gas Works Park ring a bell?”
Geez, she’d
seen Greg and J.T. just last week. “Oh, no. No problems on that front.” To
Liam, who studied her a little too intently, she explained, “Ex-boyfriend. A
jerk I ran into. No biggie.” She shot J.T. a look, pleased when he kept quiet.
Last
weekend, Greg, a guy she hadn’t dated or seen in over four months, had accused
her of using her brother to bother him. But Hope hadn’t thought about Greg the
Cheater since she’d dumped him, so she knew her brothers couldn’t care less
about the guy. When Greg had tried to get a little gropey at the park, she’d
taken him down, courtesy of the self-defense classes her brothers taught.
J.T. hadn’t
had to do more than watch her take Greg out. She’d been so proud of herself…
when she’d been able to tear her imagination from what J.T. would look like
naked.
So sad
those images replayed themselves over and over again.
“Right.”
Liam stared from her to J.T., a question in his eyes.
“So who’s
pregnant?” she asked, hoping to shift attention away from herself.
Rena
squealed. “Del is! A tiny little bun in her McCauley oven.”
Del looked
embarrassed, which was funny, because Del could out swear the mechanics she
bossed around on a daily basis and took woman
power
to the next level. The woman had arms covered in tattoos, funky
ash-blonde braids, and icy gray eyes that seemed to look through, and not at, a
person.
Hope could
see a faint resemblance from brother to sister despite their different skin
tones. Both J.T. and Del had the same shape of their eyes and stubborn chins,
just like their father. Only someone as obsessed with J.T. would have noticed
that, she realized, and felt like a moron for being so enthralled with the man.  
Fortunately,
Liam and Rena started badgering Del for details, letting Hope off the hook.
Since she
hadn’t yet greeted her aunt, Hope started to turn and found J.T. suddenly in
her way. “Oh, sorry.”
He put a
hand out to stop her from bumping into him. And sweet baby sexy, she felt the touch go from her arm all the way
through her body, centering between her legs.
Oy.

Free At Last Box Set by Annie Stone is Now Live!

 

 

 

 

 

Mackenzie Hall loves Carter Tillmann. Carter loves Mac. When she meets Hunter, she isn’t so sure anymore, who owns her heart. Her head wants stability and safety, but her heart might not be on board with that.

Hunter can’t live with the uncertainty and follows his own dreams, but those aren’t only life-changing for him. When he leaves, Mackenzie understands that her heart is stronger than her head. But now it’s too late, Hunter is gone. Will they find each other again?

 




***
This box set includes
1.a fighting chance
2.a losing battle
3.a saving grace

 


The three of us avoid each other until Carter gets back. The boys go hang out with their friends or whatever—I don’t really know, because I work. And work. I’ve always been a bit of a workaholic since I can’t leave if there’s someone there who needs help. But these days, work’s turning into an obsession.
“Go home, Mac,” Shane says the day before Carter’s scheduled to come home.
I look at my watch. It’s almost eleven. “Oh, yeah. I lost track of time.” Slowly, I sort through the documents in front of me.
“What’s up?” Shane asks gently.
“What do you mean?” It’s always good to answer a question with another question, right? Sign of a quick wit, surely.
He smiles faintly and sits on the other side of my desk. Interlocking his fingers behind his head, he stretches out his legs. He looks laid-back, like he’s really comfortable. Here in my office. Here with me.
“Kid, I remember the day you walked in here for the first time. You were this timid little thing, but really angry! Incredibly angry. You stomped around here in your Chucks, not wanting anyone to tell you what to do.” He grins like he’s reveling in the memory. “You thought you started to heal when you found us. But you had this fire in you. You’ve always had it. Flames were shooting up ten feet in the air above your head. All we did was show you how to harness your power. You did all the rest yourself. Then and now.”
I sit back in my chair and stare at him.
“It was fun to watch you turn from an angry firecracker into the woman you are today. At least, the woman you were until about a week ago. Because the Mac I see today has lost her luster. It’s like you’re hiding it on purpose, like you’re standing in the shade because you’re afraid to step out into the sun.”
“I didn’t know you were such a poet, Shane,” I joke, because I don’t know what else to say. Obviously, he’s right.
He just grins. “Mock me all you want, kid. We both know something happened. You don’t have to tell me what it is. You don’t even have to acknowledge it yourself. But please make sure all your hard work was worth it.” He gets up and comes to my side of the desk to kiss me on the head. “Night, kiddo.”
I watch him go.
He’s right. I can’t let them control me like this. Not now, not ever again. I take a deep breath and hope my old strength, my old fire, will miraculously start burning again.
But when I get home, I’m happy the house is quiet. Because I’m still such a coward.

 

 

I’m a contemporary romance writer, who likes her men tattooed, her women independent and her coffee strong.

My stories are all about love, but some are of the romantic kind, some of the sad kind and others of the very steamy kind. So if you can stand drama, foul language and sex, you came to the right place.

Love, Annie

BLURB:

Jackson Waller has loved Maggie Keene since they were six years old, but their dueling dreams ultimately tore them apart. First love—true love—wasn’t enough to overcome their individual desires to pursue dreams on opposite coasts. When Jackson learns of Maggie’s tragic death on her way to college on the east coast, his heartbreak, compounded by grief, renews his focus on his own future. He vows to do nothing but work toward his goal of becoming a doctor, and maybe enjoy the companionship of his new college buddies, The Dogs.

Maggie Keene left Cliffside Bay with two things: a broken heart and her ambition. For twelve years she relentlessly pursues her dream of a musical theater career in New York City, but when she learns her father is dying, she returns home to find the truth about her family’s ugly past. There, she discovers two things that will change everything: one, the bitter old man has spread a wild rumor that she has been dead for over a decade; and two, Doctor Jackson Waller is also back in Cliffside Bay—with his brand-new fiancée.

The second installment of The Cliffside Bay Series by bestselling author Tess Thompson follows the interwoven stories of five best friends, the beach community they love, and the women who captivate them. Prepare to get lost in a wave of small town charm, men you would love to take home to your mother, and smart, resilient heroines you wished lived next door.

 

About Tess

Like most of her characters, Tess Thompson hails from a small town and will always feel like a small town girl, despite the fact she’s lived in Seattle for over twenty-five years. She loves music and dancing, books and bubble baths, cooking and wine, movies and snuggling. She cries at sappy commercials and thinks kissing in the rain should be done whenever possible. Although she tries to act like a lady, there may or may not have been a few times in the last several years when she’s gotten slightly carried away watching the Seattle Seahawks play, but that could also just be a nasty rumor.

She currently lives in a suburb of Seattle, Washington with her brand new husband, the hero of her own love story, and their Brady Bunch clan of two sons, two daughters and five cats, all of whom keep her too busy, often confused, but always amazed. Yes, that’s four kids and five cats. Pray for her.

Cover Reveal: 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
Cover Designer: Erica Alexander at Serendipity Formatting

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?
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
