New Release: Kitty Valentine Dates an Actor and a Best Man

 

Spin the wheel. Date the guy.

Kitty Valentine Books 5 & 6 by Jillian Dodd are now live!

Six years ago, Kitty Valentine took the book world by storm when her sweet debut romance hit number one on the New York Times Best Sellers list, which was followed by a string of successful releases.

Her latest novel, however, totally bombs, causing her editor to suggest she write much sexier books.
To Kitty, writing smut is the literary equivalent of stripping.
But with no advance coming in and her royalties dipping to an all-time low, Kitty has no choice.
Armed with a hot-guy spinning prize wheel, made by her best friend, listing all the different types of men she will date and then write about, Kitty will be spinning--not stripping--her way back onto the best-sellers list.

My review for Actor: 5 stars!
I loved this installment of Kitty Valentine! Dating an actor was such a great premise and it was fun to see Kitty use her social media in her efforts to meet someone. Rafe was pretty darn swoon-worthy. Best friend Hayley had a bit of her own storyline, and I enjoyed getting more of neighbor Matt and his adorable dog Phoebe. Grandmother is definitely one of my favorite characters and I love how she tells it like it is to Kitty. This is such a fun series and after each installment, I am ready to dive into the next one!

My review for Best Man: 5 stars!
The Kitty Valentine series is SO fun! In this installment, author Jillian Dodd took us out of NYC and to a fancy resort for a destination wedding and set the dating target on the best man. Although Briggs doesn't make a great first impression, it was fun to see he and Kitty bond and the sweet things he did for her. With each new book, I get a bit more invested in Kitty and seeing her get her Happily After After. I have to admit that when a certain twist was revealed, I was surprised! Looking forward to reading more of Kitty's adventures and still rooting for neighbor Matt!

Excerpt Reveal: Loverboy by Sarina Bowen



Loverboy by Sarina Bowen is releasing December 1, 
and here is an excerpt for you!

Gunnar waits for my answer, watching me with hungry eyes. I take another sip of tart, fruity goodness and feel a rare looseness in my limbs, as if I’m limber enough to mold myself into the kind of woman who knows how to handle this moment. The possibility of Gunnar and me in bed stretched itself out around us.

He’s waiting for me to say something. Except that I’ve forgotten the question, let alone the answer. He gives me a smile, like he can read my thoughts. And then he lets me off the hook by glancing up at the TV screen to check the score. “Tell me,” he says. “Where did you go just now?”

“Nowhere,” I say quickly, chickening out. I take another deep gulp of my drink. I haven’t had quite enough alcohol to nonchalantly ask Gunnar to come home with me tonight. I want to, though. Really. A lot. He’s just the right kind of playboy to get me out of my rut. It won’t mean anything to him. He won’t have any expectations.

And neither will I, of course. We have nothing in common.

Although lately I find myself appreciating Gunnar for much more than his very fine ass. Who could resist a guy who comes to work on time every day, and makes fabulous coffee for eight hours without complaint? 

The old Gunnar would have teased me mercilessly and hidden the sugar cubes when he went on break. The new Gunnar keeps his head down and saves my overworked butt during every shift.

Sure, he still flirts mercilessly with the customers. But nobody is perfect. And I’m just jealous. I’d rather have those pale eyes trained on me. 

They were, too, only a moment ago. But I blew it already. He was waiting for me to give him the green light, and I chickened out.

That’s a theme with me.

My review: 5 stars!
I love when there's some suspense in my romance reads- and I LOVE when Joe Arden is cast for the audio. Arden did Gunnar so well, and just as I would have imagined Gunnar's voice to be. Arden can do sweet and tender just as well as he does hot and steamy. Emma Wilder is a fantastically cast as Posy. And let's talk about the cover- it's so REFRESHING to have a fully clothed man on a cover, and the model in his tuxedo is perfection. There's great banter and humor mixed in with the mysterious plot and the business major in me loved all the details about Posy's Pie Shop. I absolutely loved this swoony romance mixed with a little intrigue- it was such a joy to listen to the audiobook and I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Blurb:

How hard can it be?  

That was the question rolling around Larissa Mason’s mind just before she asked Hollis Hudson to be her fake boyfriend. 

It was only supposed to be for five minutes, after all.

Granted, that was also before she felt his hand on the small of her back as he charmed the heck out of her family. 

She hadn’t heard his laugh yet either.  

And it was definitely before she saw the football god shirtless. Otherwise, she would’ve had an idea of just how hard some things could be. 

It turns out that pretending to be in love with a crazily handsome, somewhat enigmatic, and absolutely unforgettable tight end (that has an amazing tight end) is easy.

Reminding herself that just because opposites attract doesn’t mean they’re forever is much harder.

What they have isn’t love—it’s a relationship pact. Right?


    

  About the Author: 

USA Today and Washington Post bestselling author Adriana Locke lives and breathes books. After years of slightly obsessive relationships with the flawed bad boys created by other authors, Adriana has created her own. 

  She resides in the Midwest with her husband, sons, and two dogs. She spends a large amount of time playing with her kids, drinking coffee, and cooking. You can find her outside if the weather's nice and there's always a piece of candy in her pocket.

My review: 5 stars!
So glad Jillian Dodd gave us another book in the That Boy series! I have loved this series since I first discovered it when I was just getting back into reading a few years ago. Each book has been a joy to read, and I adored teenage Chase and Devaney. Their deep friendship was so sweet. The Diamond and Mackenzie families are so fun to spend time with!

New Release Review: Make My Yours by Melanie Harlow

 

Make Me Yours, an all-new laugh out loud rom com from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow is available now!


He’s my brother’s best friend. 

The hot single dad next door. 

And one accidental sext later, my massive crush on him is no longer a secret. 

It’s my own damn fault. I’m thirty years old, for heaven’s sake. I’m a kindergarten teacher and a (reasonably) responsible adult. I should know better than to get tipsy and draft a fake text listing all the dirty things I wish Officer Cole Mitchell would do to me. 

I wasn’t supposed to hit send. 

He wasn’t supposed to see it. 

And he definitely wasn’t supposed to text back telling me to go on . . . 

Because after that, things escalate quickly. 

Cole is everything I’ve ever wanted. He’s sexy and protective. A devoted father to his little girl. A dedicated cop the whole town adores. The kind of guy you can trust to keep his hands to himself, even when you’re desperately hoping he won’t. 

I’m not the girl he thought he’d end up with, but after all this time, I might finally get the chance to say the words I’ve always dreamed of . . . make me yours.

My review: 5 stars!

So many of my favorite tropes, all rolled into one amazing story! Cole is a gorgeous single dad and he and his precious daughter live just next door (and he just so happens to be Cheyenne's brother's best friend...... and she's been in love with him as long as she can remember). I absolutely devoured Make Me Yours- it was phenomenal. It was sweet, it was steamy, it had everything I love in my romance novels. Looking forward to the next Bellamy Creek installment!

Cover Reveal: The Invitation by Vi Keeland



Title: The Invitation
Author: Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Cover Design: Sommer Stein, Perfect Pear Creative
Photo: Tamer Yilmaz
Model: Nick Bateman
Release Date: January 18, 2021


BLURB

The first time I met Hudson Rothschild was at a wedding. I’d received an unexpected invitation to one of the swankiest venues in the city. 

Hudson was a groomsman and quite possibly the most gorgeous man I’d ever laid eyes on. He asked me to dance, and our chemistry was off the charts. 

I knew it wasn’t a good idea to get involved with him, considering the wedding I was at. But our connection was intense, and I was having a great time. 

Though the fun came to a screeching halt when Hudson figured out I wasn’t who I’d said I was. You see, that unexpected invitation I received? Well, it hadn’t actually been addressed to me—it was sent to my ex-roommate who’d bounced a check for two months’ rent and moved out in the middle of the night. I figured she owed me an expensive night out, but I guess, technically, I was crashing the wedding. 

Once caught, I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. As I bolted for the door, I might’ve plucked a few bottles of expensive champagne off the tables I passed, all while the gorgeous, angry groomsman was hot on my tail. 

Outside, I jumped into a taxi. My heart ricocheted against my ribs as we drove down the block—but at least I’d escaped unscathed. 

Or so I thought. 

Until I realized I’d left my cell phone behind at the table. 

Take one guess who found it? 

This is the crazy story of how Hudson Rothschild and I met. But trust me, it’s only the tip of the iceberg.

“HARD TO LOVE.”

Hard head. Bad attitude. Terrible boyfriend. That’s what my exes have said about me—but I wasn’t serious about any of them, so what do I care what rumors they spread? What I need is to be left alone; by the press, by the paparazzi, and by women.

Too bad I’m about to be surrounded by them for the weekend. My obnoxious, matchmaking brother is getting married, and he’s doing his damndest to find me a wedding date…

“HARD TO FIND.”

That’s what they say about good men—they’re hard to find. Not that when I find one, I’ll be the type he’s looking for; too nice, too ordinary, too boring.

My cousin is getting married, and her fiancé insists on throwing me at his brother. Cold, uncaring professional football player Tripp Wallace would never look twice at a woman like me. Too bad for both of us, I was wrong…

My review: 5 stars!
Well. Tripp is officially my favorite. I love when a cranky and grumpy hero meets his match- watching his realization of how awesome a great relationship can be is so fun. "Having a girlfriend may be the best play I've made all year. I just have to see if she's down for that. Huh." Ney is so good at inner monologue and Tripp's mind ramblings are spot-on and so well done.

Tripp's dog Chewy and teenage neighbor/Mrs-Kravitz-wannabe/self proclaimed housesitter Molly are fantastic side characters and Molly steals every scene she is in. I hope we get to see more of her in future books in this series!
