I don’t like my new boss. Not at all.

London Ambrose is a spoiled billionaire’s daughter. And now she’s the new co-owner of the Seattlefootball team,but that doesn’t mean that she knows diddly squat about football.

I don’t care about new team jerseys and branding or answering her million and one questions about how I do my job. But, I can’t help but come to her defense when an old flame shows up and starts harassing her. I’m a Montgomery. We don’t let anyone mess with women.

Now, I’m suddenly in a fake relationship, pretending to date the gorgeous billionaire and learning so many surprising things about this captivating woman that I just can’t seem to stay away from her.

When the lines between our fake relationship and real relationship blur, and my initial distaste for her turns into desire, I find myself coaching the most important game of my life – do I let my guard down or do I let London Ambrose walk away forever?

Tracey’s Review

I loved the parents, and I’m loving the kids! Kristen Proby’s Single In Seattle series is a much-loved continuation of the With Me In Seattle series, and I remember why these characters and their stories are some of my most favorite ever with each subsequent book. Every visit is like reconnecting with much-loved family members or close friends, and I am so happy that Kristen decided to keep the family love going strong.

I knew right away that I was going to love Drew, because I have long adored his father and mother, and none of the Montgomery clan raised a kid that isn’t awesome. Drew is down to earth, honest, and loving, and just what London and Caleb need to show them the true meaning of family, acceptance, and unconditional love.

One of my favorite things about Kristen is that she writes strong women, women who are secure in who they are and who are living their lives on their terms. London is all of these things, demonstrating that it is possible to be a savvy businesswoman and a mother, that giving equal time to her family in no way keeps her from kicking but in the business world, and that her softness with Drew doesn’t mean that she cannot hold her own in the workplace. She and Drew are a true power couple in every way, and it’s really nice to see.

It never feels like enough time with these characters, so I cannot wait for the next visit to Seattle in THE SOULMATE, Liam’s and Bianca’s book. And can I just say that the glimpse that we get of her upcoming series, the Wilds of Montana, has me doing the happy dance.? There is so much goodness coming our way, and I am so excited. If by some chance you have not started this series, now is the time. Jump in, fall in love (because I know that you will!), and enjoy. ❤️

New Release + Release Blitz: The Proposal by Adriana Locke

Posted on 08/14/2023 by cafemamanc7

An unexpected proposal occurs when a Vegas oops marriage turns into a marriage of convenience between a rugby player and his best friend’s little sister.

The Proposal by Adriana Locke is now live!

Breaking News: Rugby’s bad boy marries his best friend’s little sister

If Renn Brewer would’ve asked me to marry him, I would’ve said no.

Why?

One, his reputation precedes him. His name is in the headlines at least once a month. Two, he’s not just my brother’s best friend. They’re teammates. And three, I’m in my self-care era.

Unfortunately, a version of me equates self-care with bad choices.

The cocktail in my hand—similar to the one that got me into this situation—is the prettiest shade of pink. It’s almost the same color as the giant rock on my left hand. And instead of discussing an annulment, I’m considering a 90-day marriage of convenience to the man I accidentally married in Las Vegas.

Renn didn’t propose marriage. But he does deliver a proposal I might be unable to turn down.

New Release + Release Blitz: On the Shore by Laura Pavlov

Posted on 07/27/2023 by cafemamanc7

On the Shore by Laura Pavlov is now live!

He’s the GOAT of the NFL. She’s a hot-headed reporter who despises him. They’re in the same small town for the summer. What could possibly go wrong?

I’m more than aware of the responsibilities that come with being a quarterback in the NFL.

The upside—I get to do what I love every day, which is play football.

And I make more money than I know what to do with.

The downside—everyone wants a piece of me, and the press stalks me ruthlessly.

And one reporter in particular, Brinkley Reynolds, has crossed a line.

She takes things too far.

So yeah, I have her escorted out of the press conference.

Imagine my surprise when the same woman walks into the coffee shop in the small town where I’ve gone to get some privacy for the summer.

I accuse her of stalking me.

She calls me every name in the book before proceeding to make me feel very unwelcome in Cottonwood Cove.

Her hometown.

The place where she tucked tail and ran after I’d unknowingly gotten her fired.

So now I’m enemy number one.

That’s fine with me.

I’m not the biggest fan of her either.

She’s equal parts stubborn and aggravating.

But she happens to be the sexiest woman I’ve ever laid eyes on.

So I try to make amends.

I’m not the devil after all.

But she won’t give me the time of day unless I agree to give her my story.

One I’ve fought hard to protect since the day I started playing professional ball.

I don’t owe Brinkley Reynolds anything.

So why am I considering giving her everything?

Am I fake dating my best friend? Hear me out…

So I’m throwing myself a breakup party, a glittery fete where I envision I’ll lift a glass and celebrate being free and single again.

What I actually do: Drink too much champagne and blurt out to my best guy friend that I’d really like to get back on the horse.

But what I truly don’t expect is Carter’s answer – he volunteers as tribute.

With his sinful brown eyes and too-good-to-be-true body it’d be no hardship for me to say yes, though I certainly don’t want him to feel obligated to, um, service me, just because my failed, loveless marriage was a s-e-x desert.

But since the charming and confident pro football star owes five public dates to his dating app sponsor, we make a deal to help each other out.

Pretty soon, our public how to date lessons turn into, ahem, very private ones. And I’m a star student, graduating quickly from flirty banter and lingering looks to toe-curling, sheet-grabbing, mind-blowing hours of physical education.

The problem? Turns out learning to date again feels a lot like the real thing. Can our friendship withstand all these late-night bedroom sessions?

Especially since I’m suddenly longing for my best friend and there’s nothing fake about my feelings…
