Dating-ish, an all new standalone from the USA Today bestselling Knitting in the City romantic comedy series by Penny Reid is now LIVE!

20170306 Dating ish 01 (2)

‘Dating-ish’ can be read as a standalone, is a full length 100k word novel, and is book #6 in the Knitting in the City Series.

There are three things you need to know about Marie Harris: 1) She’s fed up with online dating, 2) She’s so fed up, she’s willing to forego the annoyance and consider more creative alternatives, and 3) She knows how to knit.

After the most bizarre and irritating first date in the history of humankind, Marie is looking for an alternative to men. With the help of her friends, she quickly identifies a few possibilities:

Need a cuddle? Use a professional cuddler. Need affirmation? Get yourself a life coach. Need an orgasm? Try orgasm meditation! Why does she need the hassle of a romantic partner when she can meet all her needs with paid services?

But then her irritating date resurfaces. And he’s not at all the person she thought he was. And he suggests a different–and crazier–solution to her dilemma . . .

As everyone knows (or will soon come to realize), traditional relations between humans are a thing of the past. Robots are our future. And if robots are our future, then why do we need other people at all?

Release Blitz + Review: Plus One by Aleatha Romig

ARPlusOneBookCover6x9_MEDIUM

A fun, sexy new stand-alone from New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig.

He’s sexy and confident, the kind of man every woman notices. You know, the one with the to-die-for body and panty-melting smirk. And then there’s the way his designer suits drape over his broad shoulders and big…well, we’ve all heard the rumors, the ones that say he’s up for any challenge.

But I can’t see him that way. He’s my boss—technically one of the owners of the company where I work—and definitely not in my league. Men like him don’t notice women like me, and they don’t date them.

And I don’t date men like him.

Until that one time that I catch him in a compromising position when I’m also in need of a last-minute date for a wedding…and then it’s not real. It’s blackmail.

For one weekend, he’s my plus-one.

Beautiful and unobtainable.

From the moment she walked into my office with those stunning blue eyes and crazy sensual curves, she’s been on my mind. Three years and never once has she acted interested in me. Usually I flash a million-dollar smile and women fall to their knees, some literally.

Not her.

Then on the occasion that I agree to let another woman do that—fall to her knees—guess who happens to catch us?

It may not be the most conventional way to get on her radar, but I didn’t get this far in business without knowing when to seize an opportunity. If this sexy little firecracker with perfectly kissable lips thinks she can blackmail me into attending her cousin’s wedding, I’m going to jump at the chance to be her plus-one.

You love her darker side. Now it’s time to meet Leatha, the lighter side of Aleatha, as she trades her renowned twists and turns for laughs and love with this sexy new stand-alone romance, PLUS ONE.

EXCERPT:

I’m in an alternate universe and it’s every fantasy I never knew I had.
What CEO of a billion-dollar company dreams of enjoying a farm in the middle of nowhere? Who imagines waking in a small bedroom, complete with a canopy bed and sunshine streaming through pink curtains, as birds sing? What owner of a 7,000-square-foot penthouse with a to-die-for view of the Empire State Building enjoys the hominess of a hundred-year-old, 3,000-square-foot farmhouse with a wraparound porch, creaky floors, and a view of cornfields?
Sitting with a cup of steaming black coffee, I listen as Kimbra and her brother Kevin bicker back and forth while helping their mother in the large eat-in kitchen. The warm spring air is filled with the sizzle of frying as the aroma of coffee, eggs, and bacon reminds me of some of the best diners in New York.
Although Kimbra’s dad, Oscar, is talking, I can’t concentrate on anything but Kimbra—Kimberly Ann. That’s what everyone here calls her.
“Because of you, I’m out ten bucks.” Kevin says, not doing a good job of whispering.
“Me?” Kimbra asks. “What did I do?”
Kevin tilts his head my way. “You brought a real guy here. I put money on him being made up.”
Kimbra reaches out and punches his shoulder.
He lifts his hands in surrender. “No. Listen. I was sure it was a good bet. When Mom said your boyfriend’s name wasn’t Timothy, but Duncan, and you didn’t want him in the wedding, Susan and I figured he wasn’t real. I bet Jimmy ten bucks this fake Duncan guy would be a no-show. Susan and I were sure that before last night, you’d have some reason why at the last minute he couldn’t attend. You know, like you’d make up some accident or something.”
Her brother is about as good at speaking softly as he is at being nice to his sister.
“Shut up!” Kimbra whispers back. “Obviously he’s real.”
Kevin’s head falls back in laughter. “He’s real, all right. Last night I thought your old bed was going to collapse.”
Kimbra’s eyes flash to me. And though I look down at my coffee and pray her dad isn’t listening, the gleam in her expression makes my cock twitch with the memories of the night before.

 

Robin’s Review

If the synopsis of Plus One sounds familiar, you may have run across it in its previous life.  Aleatha Romig, who traditionally writes dark romantic suspense novels, initially wrote this story as part of a writing exercise.  Romig’s intention was to write “outside of her brand” and to expand the possibilities for her writing career.  According to Romig, Plus One actually had its beginnings as a 12K-word funny, sexy novella titled Duncan:  The Deal, which she wrote under the pen name Jade Sinner, a pen name she says no longer exists.  She recently decided to expand her novella by transforming it into a full-length, standalone novel.  In Plus One, Romig tackles a topic that is very popular these days:  the office romance.  

Kimbra Jones has been employed in the HR Department of Buchanan and Willis Pharmaceuticals for three years.  During her time with the company, Duncan Willis has remained on the periphery of her radar.  The handsome, wealthy owner of the company is well-known for his playboy ways, so Kimbra steers clear of his attention.  Unbeknownst to Kimbra, she hasn’t gone unnoticed.  He’s just been waiting for the perfect opportunity to spend some time with her.  Duncan finally gets his opportunity when Kimbra catches him in an indiscriminate position with another employee, and because she’s desperate to find a date, Kimbra blackmails Duncan into being her “plus-one” at her cousin’s wedding.

In the interest of full disclosure, I didn’t have the opportunity to read this story in its previous format as a novella.  I’m honestly not sure how much of or even HOW the original story translated from novella to a full-length novel, but it’s important for me to share that at some point I noticed a substantial difference in the writing.

Plus One is told from two points of view, alternating between Kimbra and Duncan.  Where the story had its beginnings as a writing exercise – an exploration into a new genre – the writing had a noticeably different feel for Romig.  The beginning of the novel is full of humorous quips that seem forced and a rushed sexual relationship between the primary characters.  I know everyone doesn’t have the same opinion as me, but gratuitous sex, especially early in a story, doesn’t bind me to the pages of a book.

BUT, somewhere along the way, something magic happened!  The further I read into Plus One, the humor felt more natural, the story became more interesting, and I began to notice the story had REAL substance.  Readers learn about Kimbra and Duncan’s backgrounds via excellent, in-depth dialogue, especially as both characters strive to learn about one another.  I thoroughly enjoyed the personalities and funny interactions with Kendra’s family.  At some point during the first one-third of the novel, I realized Plus One had the unmistakable feel of an Aleatha Romig story!  I was very excited to come to that realization, especially while reading a romantic comedy!

I’m a HUGE fan of Aleatha Romig.  Romig is a talented, wickedly smart author, who always keeps me on my toes while she methodically peels back the layers of mystery in her novels.  While Plus One doesn’t have the usual feel of her dark and mysterious romantic suspense novels, it’s a great start for Aleatha Romig in a new genre!  As advertised, Plus One is a sexy, fun and lighthearted novel, which I am delighted to give a 4-star rating!

Duke of Manhattan by Louise Bay
Release Date: May 16th
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Duke of Manhattan, an all-new contemporary romance by Louise Bay is now LIVE!!!

DukeofManhattan.Ebook

I was born into British aristocracy, but I’ve made my fortune in Manhattan. New York is now my kingdom.

Back in Britain my family are fighting over who’s the next Duke of Fairfax. The rules say it’s me–if I’m married. It’s not a trade-off worth making. I could never limit myself to just one woman.

Or so I thought until my world is turned upside down. Now, the only way I can save the empire I built is to inherit the title I’ve never wanted — so I need a wife.

To take my mind off business I need a night that’s all pleasure. I need to bury myself in a stranger.

The skim of Scarlett King’s hair over my body as she bends over . . .

The scrape of her nails across my chest as she screams my name . . .

The bite of her teeth on my shoulder just as we both reach the edge . . .

It all helps me forget.

I just didn’t bargain on finding my one night stand across the boardroom table the next day.

She might be my latest conquest but I have a feeling Scarlett King might just conquer me.

A sexy, standalone romance.

Lethal Lies

Blood Brothers Series – Book 2

By Rebecca Zanetti

Buy: Amazon / B & N / IBooks / Kobo

Synopsis

A deadly secret can’t stay buried forever . . .

Revenge. It’s the only thing that will help Anya Best sleep at night. The serial killer who murdered her sister is on the loose, and Anya will stop at nothing to put him behind bars-even use herself as bait to lure him out of hiding. But she can’t do this alone.

Private investigator Heath Jones’s job is to bring bastards to justice. This time it’s personal. He knew the Copper Killer’s latest victim so when her sister asks for his help, he’s all in. But when Anya uses the media to taunt the killer, she exposes Heath’s identity, putting them both in jeopardy. Now, secrets buried long ago are coming to light and the forces determined to destroy him are watching Heath’s every move, waiting to exact their own revenge. And they’ll use anything and anyone to get to Heath.

With twists and turns that will take your breath away, LETHAL LIES is sexy, action-packed suspense at its very best from New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Zanetti.

Michel’s Review

The Blood Brothers have their hands full trying to keep under the radar of their own deadly enemies, while trying to catch the serial killer known as the Copper Killer.  When a female FBI agent that was collaborating with them goes missing, they know it’s time to strike. Heath Jones is determined to catch the pyscho before another woman is dead.  His endeavors are too late.  Now he has to deal with her sister, Anya Best, a criminal profiler seeking revenge.  The only problem is, the Copper Killer is fixated on Anya.  She holds the key to finding the Copper Killer.  She has purposely challenged the pyscho.  Now Heath and his brothers must keep her safe at all costs.

Time is ticking.  Their enemies are closing in.  The Copper Killer is bringing unwanted attention to them.  When all is said and done, nobody may survive.

Heath Jones has never let anyone get close to him except his brothers.  Anya has thrown him for a loop.  He must keep her away at all costs, his enemies are too lethal.  Anya has stolen his heart.  He must keep her alive at all cost, she has become a part of his life.

Once again Rebecca Zanetti had me on the edge of my seat.  When the Copper Killer revelations came to light, I can admit I was quite surprised.  As certain situations were resolved and Heath found his happily ever after, many things were still left unresolved in their lives.  Two brothers have found someone to share their troubles with, one brother pushed his someone away to keep her safe.  As we all know nothing is safe if they are a part of the Blood Brothers lives.  I can’t wait to see what comes next in Twisted Truths.

Ellie Pagan has a list of reasons to stay away from Ford
Landry.
It’s a mile long and was so much easier to stick to when he

from a stint in the military, suit cut to perfection, and a smirk she could
never resist—remembering all the reasons why just got a whole lot harder. 
Ford gets Ellie isn’t his biggest fan. He just doesn’t care.
Standing in front of him, giving him hell, she’s even
prettier than he remembered. All he can think about is how she felt in his
arms, the taste of her kiss, the sound of her giggle in the middle of the
night. He may not know how to win her back, but he does know this: he may have

Excerpt
It’s impossible
not to smile that he remembered my drink of choice. It’s also hopeless to
pretend that the boyish grin he’s flipping me doesn’t melt away some of the ice
around my heart.
Still, I
don’t want to play nice.
“I already
had coffee today. But thank you,” I say politely.
“No
offense, but you are kind of irritable this morning. Maybe you could use
another shot of caffeine.”
“You think
I’m irritable now? Keep it up.”
“You never
were a morning person,” he laughs. “Some things never change.”
“And some
things do,” I point out, giving him a look. “Seriously, why are you here?”
“I have
business with Violet. Remember?”
“That’s
bullshit anyway, but she’s not here. You’ll have to come back later.”
“Is that an
invitation?” he laughs.
“Did it
sound like one?” My arms cross over my chest and I’m aware it makes my boobs
look bigger. As his eyes drop and catch the top of my cleavage, his gaze burns
a trail on the ascent back up to my eyes.
Satisfaction
paints a smug look on my face and desire burns in the apex of my thighs. As
discreetly as possible, I clench my legs together to quell a bit of the ache
that’s beginning to throb under his observation.
When our
gazes meet, his is crackling. He lifts a single brow. “I damn sure hope that’s
an offer to come. If it’s not, we have a problem on our hands.”
“No, you have a problem on your hands,” I
say, shrugging. “It has nothing to do with me.”
“It could.”

My Best Friend’s Ex, an all new sexy, laugh out loud romantic comedy is coming June 1st!

MyBestFriendsEx

My Best Friend’s Ex by Meghan Quinn
Publication Date: June 1st, 2017

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Photographer: Neil Danvers

When I found an eviction notice taped on my apartment door, I had two options: find a comfortable cardboard box to call home, or move in with Tucker Jameson.

Seeing that cardboard makes me feel itchy, I chose the latter. Which shouldn’t be that big of a deal since Tucker is one of my good friends. And because he’s still pining after his ex-girlfriend and I’m trying to finish my nursing degree, there is nothing to worry about in the romance department, making my last semester an easy one to conquer.

Boy, was I wrong.

Rules are set, dinners are made, conversations are had, and a shirtless, swoony roommate walks around in nothing but a pair of black briefs, ruining me for every other man.

Before I know it, I turn into a panting, lust-filled woman begging for Tucker to kiss me, touch me, and show me exactly what is hiding under those briefs.

But with great orgasms, comes great consequences.

Tucker might be my friend and roommate but he’s also my best friend’s ex-boyfriend, making him completely off-limits. At least that’s what my brain is telling me, my heart is speaking an entirely different language.

Synopsis

 

My best friend is married.

 

Everyone I know is married. It doesn’t bother me. I like my life the way it is.

 

Since I’m single though, when my best friend and her husband finally decide to go on their dream honeymoon, she asks me to watch their three-year-old son.

 

Of course I say yes.

 

What my best friend neglects to tell me is that I won’t be babysitting alone.

 

Feeling Max might be too much for me to handle, her husband asks his only single friend to help.

 

Nick Carrington and I have met a couple of dozen times. I’ve never really given him a second thought—other than to say he’s kind of a jerk. Out loud. So he can hear. Sure, he’s tall, dark, and handsome. And yes, he has the best ass I’ve ever seen, and I mean ever seen quite literally. You see he mooned me at last year’s Fourth of July barbecue because, like I said, he’s a jerk.

 

He always has to be the life of the party.

 

He’s also arrogant.

 

Imposing.

 

Rich.

 

And a playboy.

 

I’d even go as far as to say he’s a manwhore.

 

Yet somehow before I know it, this manwhore and I are co-parenting. Living under the same roof.

 

Eating meals together and yes, talking.

 

Don’t look at me like that—it’s not like I had a choice. Even though I knew every minute would be hell, I had to say yes.

 

But after two weeks what I didn’t expect is that I’d been wrong about him.

 

That under his smart-ass exterior, he’s quite charming.

 

That his arrogance is actually confidence.

And that the sight of his naked body would do really bad things to me.

 

So yes, I’ve misjudged him. And yes, I like him. Really like him. Although there are times I still think he’s a jerk…I now think he’s a sexy jerk.

 

And I want more of him.

 

The question is—does he want more of me?

About the Author:

Kim Karr is a New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal Bestselling author.

She grew up in Rochester, NY and now lives in Florida with her husband and four kids. She’s always had a love for reading books and writing. Being an English major in college, she wanted to teach at the college level but that was not to be. She went on to receive an MBA and became a project manager until quitting to raise her family. Kim currently works part-time with her husband and recently decided to embrace one of her biggest passions–writing.

Kim wears a lot of hats! Writer, book-lover, wife, soccer-mom, taxi driver, and the all around go-to person of her family. However, she always finds time to read. One of her favorite family outings was taking her kids when they were little to the bookstore or the library. Today, Kim’s oldest child is seventeen and no longer goes with her on these, now rare and infrequent, outings. She finds that she doesn’t need to go on them anymore because she has the greatest device ever invented–a Kindle.

Kim likes to believe in soul mates, kindred spirits, true friends, and Happily-Ever-Afters. She loves to drink champagne, listen to music, and hopes to always stay young at heart.

Roommates With Benefits

By Nicole Williams

Release Date: June 5, 2017

Pre Order: IBooks

Synopsis

Soren Decker. He’s the epitome of the “bad boy, good man” persona. The best of both worlds. The worst of them too. He’s the type of guy most girls would not mind sharing a confined space with, except my new roommate isn’t all swagger and chiseled abs.

He’s bossy. Messy. Cocky. Infuriating. Doesn’t believe in personal space. Has no qualms about roaming the apartment with a loincloth-sized towel cinched around his waist. Seems under the delusion he’s my personal protector (refer back to infuriating). He plays college baseball and holds down a part-time job—I don’t know where he finds the time to get on my nerves.

We’re got nothing in common . . . except for one thing. Our attraction to one another. And in six hundred square feet of shared space, the tension only has so much room to grow before one of us gives in to temptation. But really, what chance do a couple of young kids chasing their dreams in the big city have of making it?

Since Soren claims I know squat about sports (he might have a semi-point), here’s a stat for him—one in a million. That’s our odds.

Blurb

On a random night out with her girlfriends, Taye experiences something she hasn’t before.Instant attraction.Between vodkas and dance moves she probably shouldn’t be doing in public, never mind on a podium, she meets him.

She’s never had a one night stand before, and to have one is on her list of things to experience in her life.

Not only that, but the chemistry is off the charts.

Decision made.

She’s going home with this man, and she’s not going to regret it when she leaves him in the morning.

Or at least that’s what she thinks.

 Michel’s Review

With Chantal Fernando’s latest release, The List, she is breaking away from the MC world and delivering a modern day romance that many readers can relate to. A love story based loosely off of a real life story, takes readers on an emotional journey.

It is not one of my favorite books by Chantal or my favorite kind of romance. I really don’t know if I liked it that much because it is quite different than what I usually read. The story itself can stand on it’s own and has it’s own unique kind of romance.

Readers are introduced to Taye; a modern, very put together woman who knows what she wants and is secure with who she is. While she’s out clubbing with friends and letting loose she meets Eli. There is an instant attraction and instant lust that leads to a very fulfilling one night stand.

For one month the two explore her list, a sexual list she wants to experience. Eli wants to help Taye achieve her goals. He’s up front and honest about not wanting a relationship or any ties. The two click in every aspect and their sexual chemistry is through the roof.

Eli eventually has to leave and thus ends their time together. Even though they have contact with another through texting, Eli has moved on to other women. Taye has fallen in love with an unattainable man. Eli doesn’t consider her feelings and won’t break their fragile ties which leaves Taye in a tough position. Her mind knows she should move on but her heart won’t let her.

Eli was quite mysterious and evaded Taye’s questions. She didn’t even know his last name, yet they clicked on every other level. So why did Eli keep Taye hanging on when he made it quite clear he didn’t want anything more?

Eventually both Taye and Eli find their happily ever after but it wasn’t easy.

I’m not quite sure how I feel about this story. In many ways I did not like Eli and felt he was stringing her along. On the other hand I found him very sexy. I think the thing that struck me with this story was the reality of it all. We all know someone who’s either been there or we’ve experienced this kind of relationship ourselves. It’s how each individual chooses the next step that matters, whether it is to hang on or let go.

I would of liked to get more background on Eli, seen things from his point of view. I think I may have liked this story more. Non the less, it was still a good story.
