COVER REVEAL: Insatiable by Melanie Harlow

After all those years of being just friends, suddenly we’re insatiable.

Insatiable, an all-new irresistible friends to lovers romance from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow is coming November 11th and we have the gorgeous cover!

I didn’t mean to see him naked--it was an accident.

It had to be, right?

Because Noah McCormick and I have never been anything more than friends. In all the years I’ve known him, he’s never once laid a finger on me. And even though he was a cute lifeguard at 16 and a hotter-than-hell sheriff’s deputy at 34, he's always been that protective guy I could trust to keep his hands to himself. I never wanted to mess with that.

Until I walked in on him getting out of the shower and saw his hard, muscular body totally bare and dripping wet. At that moment I never wanted to mess with anything so badly in my entire life.

I should have covered my eyes. Said I was sorry. At the very least, I could have handed him a towel.

After all, I was only in town for a few days, and he was just doing me a favor by escorting me to my sister’s wedding. It wasn’t a real date.

But I didn’t apologize. And he didn’t cover up.

(Talk about a hot mess.)

After all those years of being just friends, suddenly we’re insatiable.

He’s made it clear he’s not interested in romance. Which is fine with me because

I’ve got a plane ticket back to my real life at the end of the week.

It’s all in fun...or is it?

REVIEW & NEW RELEASE: No Vacancy by Stephanie Rose

Can a summer fling become the love of a lifetime?

Title: No Vacancy

Author: Stephanie Rose

Release Date: October 28, 2019

Can a summer fling become the love of a lifetime?

Perpetual good girl Caterina Longo is dependable to a fault. At 33, she’s never called in sick. Never had a one-night stand. Never taken a chance in her entire life. When she walks in on a cheating ex and sees everything wrong with her life, she takes off on a solo vacation, busting out of her comfort zone and into the arms of a guy she never saw coming.

Joe Hunter has no room for distractions. Making his restaurant a success and proving his worth to his family—and himself—is his sole focus. At least it is until a beautiful stranger, in search of fried food and a shoulder, wanders in one night.

Is two weeks of unexpected, life-altering passion all they’re meant to share? What happens when vacation ends and real life takes over?

I am claiming Dirty Joe!

Yozzers he is one dirty talker but don't let that fool you.

I totally fell for him at love at first Mozzerella Sticks!

Caterina is one lady who is lucky to have met Joe despite of her circumstances.

Sexy, steamy, I teared up a couple of times of the angst of these two finding about one another. Soo much swooning from Joe being Dirty Joe as well as Gentleman Joe.

I loved how Author Stephanie Rose brings us into the lives of these characters and how they are relatable to us in soo many ways.

I could picture everything vividly as I read this story of Caterina breaking out of her daily cycle of regular and Joe being the one to help her break it.

Joe is one hell of a persistent romantic guy who I wished was mine in real life.

He has his own insecurities and when he meets Caterina, they go out the window.

Enjoyed how both Joe & Caterina help each other realize that love can be instant & sexy with the right person if you let yourself go outside of the box.

REVIEW & NEW RELEASE: Bailey (Confessions #6) by Ella Frank

Black and white. Right and wrong.

That’s how Craig Bailey has always lived his life.

The son of a fallen, decorated police officer,

he’s had no choice but to follow the rules.

Until he met the ultimate bad boy

and decided to follow him instead.

Henri Boudreaux is everything Bailey never knew he wanted.

Mysterious, sexy, and hiding more secrets than friends.

He’s exactly the kind of man Bailey knows could break his heart.

But there’s a vulnerability to Henri that calls to Bailey.

A longing for a connection that Bailey is unable to resist.

And while Bailey has always lived his life on the straight and narrow, he is now beginning to understand that falling in love is never so black and white.

This book gave me tingles galore.

Just wow!

I want to be secluded with these 2 men in my own world and never leave.

Soo much love & trust poured off the pages and made my heart flutter with many emotions.

Be ready to find out if Henri & Bailey confessions of their past and present can withhold their growing relationship they both want.

REVIEW: Practice to Deceive by Olivia Evans

🔥🔥 NEW RELEASE 🔥🔥

PRACTICE TO DECEIVE by Olivia Evans is LIVE!

I wasn’t always a bad guy, but betrayal has a way of finding your darkest inner demons. Great friends and family weren’t enough to save me. I wanted revenge. When the opportunity presented itself, I felt justified. That’s karma, right?

Turns out, karma has a way of circling back.

If only I hadn’t been so stupid.

If only I’d known what my deceit would cost me.

It will take a lot of work to unravel the damage I’ve done, but I’ll do it. I’ll do anything to keep from losing her.

Brennan is the guy you love to hate...

but after reading this story, you won't be able to.

Author Olivia Evans brings it hard with the story that is filled with love, betrayal, heartache, compelling story that will leave you breathless in love.

I loved the build up of Brennan on how his mind ticks.

The dynamics in which he has Skylar falling for him even though his motivates are not at all what they should be kept me turning each page waiting to see what would happen next.

Very entertaining and this book kept me guessing if Skylar and Brennan would ever be able to have a happily ever after.

Go get this book and find out if being deceitful with lies can help find the one you truly love.

REVIEW & NEW RELEASE: Moonlighter (The Company, #1) by Sarina Bowen

Moonlighter

(The Company Book 1)

Sarina Bowen

Released: October 22, 2019

BUY:

🗝️ Amazon https://geni.us/MoonlighterAmazon

🗝️ Apple https://geni.us/MoonlighterApple

🗝️ Nook https://geni.us/MoonlighterNook

🗝️ Kobo https://geni.us/MoonlighterKobo

Moonlighter is a stand-alone novel.

No cliffhangers, no prior experience necessary.

Contains: hackers, hockey players, and a hotel room with only one bed.

Only in my family could a professional hockey player earning seven million dollars a year be considered a slacker.

I’m at the height of my athletic career. Yet my arrogant brother is always trying to recruit me into the family business: a global security company so secretive that I don’t even know its name.

Pass, thanks. I don’t need a summer job.

But the jerk ambushes me with a damsel in distress. That damsel is Alex, the competitive, sassy girl I knew when we were kids. Now she’s a drop-dead gorgeous woman in deep trouble.

So guess who’s on a flight to Hawaii?

It’s going to be a long week in paradise. My job is keeping Alex safe, while her job is torturing me with her tiny bikinis. Or maybe we’re torturing each other. It’s all snark and flirting until the threat against Alex gets serious. And this jock must become her major league protector.

🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒🍒 🍒🍒

If you love a book that is filled with hot hockey players, funny, sexy, and is filled with a suspenseful romance, then this is the book for you!

Author Sarina Bowen delivers us the sexy Eric Bayer who I have totally been wanting to see what would happen with him.

This book is a standalone in the Brooklyn Bruiser series but believe me when you finish reading this book, you will want to grab the others and find out all about these hot sexy men & ladies!

I loved how Eric is soo committed to being Alex's fake boyfriend to keep her safe.

Alex is one strong woman and I loved the relationship she has with Eric.

This book had me on my toes on finding out if Eric could keep Alex safe while letting himself fall hard in love with her.

Excellent chemistry, mystery, suspense and lovable characters.

Go get this book and find out if Moonlighting can be the key to finding love.
