What’s a girl to do when her celebrity crush needs her to be his fake girlfriend?
Sealed With a Kiss, an all-new romantic comedy filled with heated chemistry from New York Times bestselling author Erin Nicholas is available now!
Keep her damned feelings to herself, of course. Child TV star turned adult wallflower Naomi LeClaire has vowed never to return to the spotlight.

Especially after the paparazzi catches a heat-of-the-moment kiss. Now everyone assumes she's his girlfriend and, when she realizes that’s the best way to keep Donovan out of trouble, Naomi agrees to play along. Even though it puts her center stage with her private life in very public view. Again.
They’re a whirlwind of opposites-attract chemistry the fans love, but they'll surely blow over faster than a Gulf Coast hurricane. As long as they can keep straight what's real and what's just a once-in-a-lifetime fantasy.

My thoughts: I adored Naomi and Donovan's story. They had chemistry right away and I was rooting for them from the beginning. I love how Erin Nicholas wrote their story and definitely recommend it.

He's her best friend. A reformed bad boy turned hot teacher. And after one spur-of-the-moment Vegas wedding... her husband.
Heavy Petting, an all-new heartwarming and laugh-out-loud romantic comedy in the Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild Series by New York Times bestselling author Erin Nicholas is available now!
He's her best friend. A reformed bad boy turned hot teacher. And after one spur-of-the-moment Vegas wedding... her husband.
Jordan Benoit and Fletcher Landry have been best friends since they were six. He's always been The Guy. When she needed picked up, cheered up, or lifted up--like literally, to see the stage at a concert--Fletcher was the guy.
So when her boyfriend dumps her--on national TV--Fletcher immediately gets on a plane and comes to her rescue.
And when she ends up in a Vegas wedding chapel and needs someone to say, "I do"...yep, Fletcher's the guy. Of course.
But being The Guy 24/7 is a lot. He just wants everyone to give him a freaking minute to get this marriage thing right. Including his sexy, sweet new wife who he's wanted for three years. Who is exasperatingly, temptingly all-in from minute one.
Jordan knows what she wants. A life in her hometown. A job with alpacas. And Fletcher. Not necessarily in that order.
They've said the vows. They'd told the world. They've told their grandmas. Forget taking things slow. Forget just heavy petting. Forget any chance of backing out when things get tough. They're going to have to go all the way, in every way.
After all, friends becoming lovers should be the easiest thing in the world. Right?

Excerpt
“I also think that I need to—” “Marry me.” “Date you.” They spoke at the same time. Then stared at each other. “What?” “What?” They spoke simultaneously again. “I was trying to give you some freaking space before I said anything.” He seemed very annoyed suddenly. She leaned in, bracing her hand on the seat between them. “The last person I need space from is you, Fletcher. I mean, we’ve basically been dating for twenty years. If dating is about getting to know someone and figuring out how well you fit with them and figuring out if you want to spend the rest of your life with them…we’ve done that.” He shook his head. “You have got to be one of the most exasperating people in my life.” Her eyebrows rose. “Considering your twin brothers are Zeke and Zander, being one of the most exasperating people in your life is pretty huge.” He shook his head. “Absolutely exasperating. To think I could’ve kissed you when we were standing next to a king-sized bed and you were only in your bra and panties and you would have been all in.” Jordan felt her cheeks flush, but she grinned widely. “I really am a pain.” “You really are.” His gaze dropped to her mouth. Jordan felt a zing of excitement go through her. She really wanted him to kiss her. “I think you dating me is a great idea,” he said after a moment. Thank God. “You’re sure you’re done dating other people? Having fun with all those girls? All the casual relationships?” she asked. “If it means I get to be with you? Absolutely.” Her stomach swooped, harder and faster than before. “This isn’t crazy?” “It makes a hell of a lot more sense than anything else. Like you dating other men. Or either of us being with anyone else.” “We’ve never talked about this before.” “You’ve been taken,” he said simply. Right. That was true. And Fletcher was too good of a guy to go after another man’s girl. She still felt compelled to say, “It’s been three years since anything happened.” “Again, because you’ve been taken.” His voice dropped. “Only because you’ve been taken, Jordan.” Her heart skittered at that and she wet her lips. She thought about her next words carefully. Several seconds ticked by. Then she said simply, “Prove it.” Fletcher reached out, wrapped his big hand around her wrist, and tugged her close. He cupped the back of her head and brought her in until they were nose to nose. “This changes everything,” he said. Almost as if it was a warning. “I know.” “I’m the last frog you’re ever going to kiss. So be sure you want it now.” That was exactly what she’d wanted to hear without even realizing it.
My thoughts: I love the friends to lovers trope and Erin Nicholas did a fantastic job of writing this one. Jordan and Fletcher's friendship was one that built a sold foundation for their relationship. I enjoyed watching them make the transition from friends to lovers.

A hot, grumpy wildlife vet . . . and otters. You’re welcome.
Otterly Irresistible, an all new opposites attract, small town romance by New York Times bestselling author Erin Nicholas, is available now!
Broody wildlife veterinarian Griffin Foster is done. Done trying to save the world. Done getting attached. He’s been fired twice for standing his ground and now he’s going to be content--by God--in small-town Louisiana, in a small veterinary practice, where there will only be small problems.
Quiet and boring, though? Um, no. He’s been adopted by a loud, crazy Cajun family with a tiny petting zoo for him to care for. Hey, it’s not endangered tigers at a nationally renowned zoo, but a family of otters--and all the gumbo he can eat--isn’t a bad deal.
Until she shows up. Again.
The sunny, gorgeous optimist who stole his heart--and his favorite shirt--two months ago. Who clearly hasn’t heard the word “no” enough in her life. And who is the first woman to put even a tiny crack in his don’t-get-attached wall.
Charlotte “Charlie” Landry is the new marketing consultant for the family swamp-boat tour company and petting zoo. It might not have been her plan, but she is all in, ready to grow the business. Whether the hot, grumpy vet likes it or not.
He doesn’t.
Worse, sparring with his unforgettable one-night stand is more fun than he’s had in a long time.
But watching wears-designer-dresses Charlie find her dream job amongst a bunch of goats, alpacas, and otters is a surprise.
And her helping him find his passion again is...well, irresistible.
Dammit.

Excerpt
He lifted a brow. “Are you going to actually be helpful now or not?”
She loved every single thing about this petting zoo.
“Oh, I’m not going anywhere,” she told him. “I’m definitely going to help.”
He sighed.
Feeling suddenly lighter and happier than she had in a long time—and that was saying something as she was generally light and happy, not to mention on her way to Paris soon—Charlie turned back to the animals.
“Okay, now that we know each other better, how about you all be sweet and head back to the barn?”
Not one animal even looked at her.
“Hey, Stan?” she called to the big goat. “You’re clearly a leader. How about you show me that you can do some good with all that staunch determination and lead everyone back to the barn?”
“You can’t be serious,” the guy said. “Talking to them isn’t going to work.”
“Talking is what I do.”
“No kidding.”
She just lifted a brow. “So what should I do instead?”
Maybe he could give her an opening for charming him into putting that very nice, smirky, sarcastic mouth against hers and…
“Nudge ’em,” he said simply.
Now she blinked at him. “What?”
“Nudge them,” he said again.
“Just… nudge them? As in, push them?” She narrowed her eyes. Were they talking about goats? Or were they maybe talking about grumpy farmers who needed more than a subtle flirtation to make a move?
“Sometimes that’s all they need.”
Okay then. She was going to keep that in mind.
“So…” He nodded toward the goats.
She blew out a breath. Okay, so for right now, they were talking about goats.
Charlie approached the smallest of the animals. He—or she—looked up at her. “Hello, I’m Charlotte. Would you please accompany me across the street back to your barn?” She heard the man’s snort even from a distance. That made her smile even though she was still stuck with the problem of herding goats.
The goat, of course, didn’t move a step.
“I would very much enjoy it if you would grant me the pleasure of your company across the street at your barn,” she told the goat.
This time the goat didn’t even lift his head.
Charlie propped a hand on her hip. “I don’t feel that we know each other well enough for me to actually put my hands on your body, so it really would be easier if you would just head in the general direction of your barn.”
“For fuck’s sake.” Suddenly the man was back beside her.
He bent and lifted the goat, and Charlie couldn’t help but think this had worked out very well. She hadn’t had to touch the goats, but she hadn’t been entirely unhelpful to him.
Okay, that wasn’t true. She had been completely unhelpful to him. But she hadn’t left him out here with the goats alone.
The man pivoted and pressed the goat to her chest. Instinctively her arms went up and around it. He let go.
And just like that, she had her arms full of goat.
Charlie gasped, partially in surprise and partially because it only took her a millisecond to think about the fact that she now had a barnyard animal up against her Alex Perry cocktail dress.
“You have to be kidding,” she said to the man.
“When nudging doesn’t work, sometimes you have to get hands-on.”
Charlie blew out a breath. She was tucking that away in her idea of how to handle him too. But she was preoccupied at the moment.
And not so sure she wanted to kiss him after all.
No, that wasn’t true. She still wanted to kiss him. Especially now that he was standing closer.
Even if she had to kiss him over the back of a goat.
Which probably meant she really wanted to kiss him.
My thoughts: I've loved Erin Nicholas' writing for quite some time. Griffin and Charlie's story is a great example of why. There's humor, heart, chemistry, and a great storyline. This book is the first in a new series and now I want the next book. This book is a great read.

Four Weddings And A Swamp Boat Tour, an all-new swoon-worthy Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild series standalone romance from New York Times bestselling author Erin Nicholas is available now!
She’s been proposed to five times.
Five.
She even said yes to one of them.
And then broke his heart when she called it off. Not to mention her mother’s heart. And her grandmother’s. And his mother’s. And…you get the picture.
Paige Asher has now officially sworn off all dating. Diamonds give her hives. All she wants is to be a yoga-doing, cat-collecting, vegetarian in peace. Away from her marriage-crazy family and all their expectations.
So when her weekend fling turns into a real friend and offers her a place to escape, she finds herself on his doorstep in Louisiana. And right in the middle of not just one family wedding, but three. Of course.
Charming, sexy bayou boy Mitch Landry gets stuff done. Whatever anyone needs. From alligator-sitting to getting a buddy drunk to showing a woman a good time to fixing a swamp boat, he’s the man. No problem. No drama.
But he wants a hell of a lot more from Paige than a temporary friends-with-benefits arrangement. He wants to take care of her. And her five cats. He also really wants other men to stop asking her to marry them.
But if a roommate and a few orgasms are all she wants, that’s what he’ll deliver.
He can just be her friend and not commit the greatest sin of all…asking her for forever.
Probably.

Excerpt
“Goodnight, Paige,” he finally said. “Goodnight, Mitch.” They still just stood looking at each other. “You need to go to your room,” he said, his voice a little tight. “I will. You too.” “Yeah, but—” He sighed. “You’re right by my door.” She looked at the closed bedroom door again. And smiled. “I guess I am.” She didn’t want to torture the guy. He was trying to be noble. Or something. But she wouldn’t deny that she liked that resisting her would be difficult. “You need to move away from my bedroom door, Paige.” His voice was a little gruffer. “You’re in my way of getting to my bedroom too,” she pointed out. “But are you tempted to throw me over your shoulder and say to hell with all of your good intentions? Already? Within twenty minutes of deciding you even have good intentions?” She laughed even as warmth filled her. Not just heat. Not lusty heat anyway. But a feel-good warmth that she didn’t quite understand. But she liked it. “Kind of.” He swallowed hard. Then said, “Go to bed, Paige.” She moved to the right, away from his door. As he came forward, she playfully pressed her back against the far wall. He smiled, in spite of himself, and went to his bedroom door. He twisted the knob but paused and looked over at her. She inched her way toward her bedroom, still against the wall. When she got to her door she reached for the knob and shot him a smile. “Goodnight, Mitch.” “’Night.” “And I’m just right here if you have any night time needs. Bad dreams.” She paused. “Good dreams.” “Stop it.” “Stop what? Just being a good friend.” She grinned. “My dreams might include white dresses and tuxes,” he warned. Again, no sense of oh shit. Instead she tipped her head. “You’re pretty good at bringing all of that up without asking the four-word question.” He didn’t comment on that. “See you in the morning.” “Okay.” She gave him another smile, then slipped into her room, feeling his eyes still on her until the door shut. She slumped against it, pressing her hand to her stomach. Dammit. She really liked him. It was really too bad they weren’t going to kiss anymore.
My thoughts: I love this series! Erin Nicholas has made me want to visit Louisiana. Paige was introduced in another book and Mitch was her perfect match. This story was one I couldn't put down so I read it in one sitting. Fantastic book and fantastic series.

Excerpt
The guys were going to kill him. Ollie scrubbed a hand over his face. They wouldn’t be surprised, of course. But they were going to be pissed. They’d all known that Piper quitting was a risk and that one day she’d probably wise-up and lose her patience and that would be it. They’d also all known that when it happened there was a 90 percent chance it would be because of Ollie. The other 10 percent chance was that it would be because of Ollie and Dax together. And now it had finally happened. If it came down to choosing between him and Piper, he wasn’t sure he wanted to know how that debate would end up. Or how short the discussion would be before they decided they wanted and needed her more. That was only one of the reasons he hadn’t told them yet. The other was because he was still processing the part where she’d said she loved him. What was he supposed to do with that? She wasn’t just supposed to say that out loud right to him, was she? He had not been expecting that. The guys and their girlfriends had insinuated for a while now that Piper might have a crush on him but no, he hadn’t expected her to ever say anything herself. It was a might have. A crush. Okay, they were adults and maybe adults didn’t have crushes exactly, but everything anyone had said suggested that it was just that Piper thought he was interesting at times and that she didn’t hate spending time with him. But a crush wasn’t love. For fuck’s sake. And it had to be Piper? Piper Barry was amazing. She was gorgeous. She was smart. She was capable. She could do anything. She was funny and sweet and sassy and tough. She was intimidating as hell. What was he supposed to do with her now? What was he supposed to do without her now? Well, the solution seemed pretty obvious. She’d basically given him the answer herself—I can’t be in love with you and work for you. And the only one of those two things I can change is the working for you part. So he needed to get her to not be in love with him anymore. Then she’d come back to work and all would be fine. Now he just had to get her to realize she could do a hell of a lot better than him. Of course, he’d been a pain in her ass for five years now. If that didn’t do it, he wasn’t sure what would.

Excerpt:
He leaned in, close enough that she could feel his breath on her lips when he said, “Let me kiss you.”
Oh damn. She wanted that. She wanted it so much. She was weak.
“I—” she started.
“The tea is getting cold!” Didi bellowed from the kitchen.
Whitney and Cam stilled. Then she felt him sigh. But he didn’t pull back. “You going to let me do this or not?”
He was already practically kissing her. When his lips moved as he spoke, they brushed hers ever so lightly. His body heat surrounded her. She swore she could feel his heartbeat pounding. Or maybe that was hers.
They both clearly wanted this. She certainly wasn’t pushing him away or stepping back. But the only actual connection was his hand on her face. And their mingling breaths.
Clearly he was going to insist that she make this decision. He wasn’t going to just sweep her up and kiss the hell out of her before she could protest and then let the chemistry take over.
“Whit,” he said, his voice low and rough. “Push me back or pull me closer.”
She slid her hands up to his chest, not sure until the last moment if she was going to fist his shirt and pull him in or push him away.
Cam, however, didn’t look surprised when she pushed.
He let go and stepped back though. He didn’t seem angry or even frustrated. It seemed that he’d been expecting her reaction actually.
“Okay,” he finally said.
She wet her lips. “Thanks,” she said, hoarsely. And she meant it. She appreciated that he was giving her these choices. Kind of.
It would be a lot easier to just climb him like a tree and give in to everything zipping between them if he’d just back her up against the wall, seal his mouth over hers, and start running his big hands over her body. Then she could pretend she was just caught up in the moment and enjoy the hell out of it without actually admitting she wanted any of that.
Which he knew.
She could see it.
He knew that she wanted him, but that she didn’t want to admit it.
So, of course, he was going to make her confess before he did anything more.
“In case you’ve forgotten, I’m very stubborn,” he said.
Whitney gave him a nod. “I remember.”
“And something you should know about me and the past ten years,” he said, holding her gaze steadily, “I’ve also gotten very used to winning. “
That actually made her heart trip and her inner muscles clench.
See, she should really feel trepidation at that implied promise from him. But she didn’t.
“I’ll keep that in mind,” she said, trying desperately not to act excited about the idea of him trying again and again to get close to her.
He looked at her for a long moment and a thought flickered through her mind—he knows.

If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen...
Making Whoopie, an all-new not-to-be-missed marriage of convenience romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Erin Nicholas, is available now!
This marriage of convenience is about to get sticky.Getting hitched for the health insurance is not Jocelyn Asher’s idea of romance.
But the hospital quote has really frosted her cookies, and suddenly, “I’m rich. We should just get married,” sounds a whole lot more swoony.
Especially when the man proposing is this gorgeous. And takes her to parties featuring champagne and petit fours. She’s a sucker for anything with bubbles or icing. And just like that she finds herself married to a near stranger.
Grant Lorre is usually allergic to spontaneity.
So why did he ask the beautiful small-town baker he had a one-night stand with to marry him? Somehow watching her lick batter off a whisk--not a euphemism--made a wedding and a little fraud seem like a sweet idea.
They’ll just play house and make some whoopie--pies, of course--for a few months and then move on with their separate lives. Until then, bring on the cream filling. And that is a euphemism.
But as things heat up even outside of the kitchen, they quickly realize there’s no recipe to follow when it comes to love.
My thoughts: I don't know how Erin Nicholas does it, but each book in this series gets better and better. I read through this story in one sitting because I adored reading Jocelyn and Grant's story. I'm a fan of marriage of convenience stories and this book is a great example of why.

Getting hitched for the health insurance is not Jocelyn Asher’s idea of romance.
But the hospital quote has really frosted her cookies, and suddenly, “I’m rich. We should just get married,” sounds a whole lot more swoony.
Especially when the man proposing is this gorgeous. And takes her to parties featuring champagne and petit fours. She’s a sucker for anything with bubbles or icing. And just like that she finds herself married to a near stranger.
Grant Lorre is usually allergic to spontaneity.
So why did he ask the beautiful small-town baker he had a one-night stand with to marry him? Somehow watching her lick batter off a whisk--not a euphemism--made a wedding and a little fraud seem like a sweet idea.
They’ll just play house and make some whoopie--pies, of course--for a few months and then move on with their separate lives. Until then, bring on the cream filling. And that is a euphemism.
But as things heat up even outside of the kitchen, they quickly realize there’s no recipe to follow when it comes to love.

"You can always count on Erin Nicholas for fun, sexy contemporary romance."—Melissa Foster, New York Times bestselling author
Forking Around, a flirty and sexy romantic comedy standalone from New York Times bestselling author Erin Nicholas, is available now!
A Cinderella story with a hot boss so charming even a fairy godmother couldn't do better.
Everyone thinks Dax Marshall is a prince of a guy. And he's definitely charming.
But Jane has enough going on without adding a torrid fling with the boss to her life. Between her father's illness, her wicked-ish stepmother, her little sister's teenage drama, and the co-workers who depend on her---she can't handle another mess.
No matter how tempting and gorgeous the mess may be. Or how messy he wants to get with her.
Dax has spent his life being very serious about only one thing: proving you can be successful while still having a helluva good time. But he's just met the one woman who might break his I-can-charm-anyone streak. She's actually taking him seriously...and she seriously thinks they have nothing in common and can't be together.
Maybe he's the one who needs a new view of happily ever after. It's time to stop forking around. My thoughts: I adored Dax and Jane and this series. Dax is swoon-worthy and Jane isn't interested at the beginning. I love how Dax is and his ability to show Jane that she can be both responsible and have some fun. This story was such a fun read, especially during this tough time. I highly recommend this book and can't wait for the next one.
He was the new strawberry pie
in her life. She’d had one taste of Zoe’s strawberry pie and that had been it.
Nothing else would ever measure up. She would never not crave it. She would
never pass up a chance to have it on her tongue.
Yeah, Dax Marshall was that.
And then some.
He pulled back, breathing hard,
staring down at her.
She quickly put her hand over his
mouth. “Don’t talk. Talking is the wrong
choice right now.”
She was going to have to deal with
the boss thing soon enough. And the millionaire thing. And the
he-doesn’t-live-here-and-isn’t-staying thing. And all the other crap she always
had to deal with that made this impossible.
But for another minute—or maybe
ten—she didn’t want to think about any of that. And if he talked, that would be
very difficult.
He pulled in a breath, gave her a
short nod that she interpreted as okay,
no talking and she moved her hand.
Which was the right choice, because he leaned in as he slid his hand up the side
of her body, skimming over her hip, waist, the side of her breast, up and into
her hair. Then he cupped the back of her head and lowered his mouth to hers
again.
This time he kissed her.
And seriously, she’d give up
strawberry pie for this.
They made out like that for long,
delicious minutes.
When he finally took his mouth from
hers, it was to slide it along her jawline, his beard causing goose bumps to
trip down her arms and tighten her nipples. In her ear he said gruffly, “I have
to talk now.”
She laughed lightly. “I didn’t think
it would last for even this long, really.”
“Well, I do love using my mouth this
way too.” He dragged his lips along the side of her neck.
Her nipples got even tighter, begging
for him to drag those lips down there.
“But I can’t resist saying—” He
lifted his head. “You are the most delicious thing I’ve ever tasted.”
She grinned. “Well… same.”
A very sexy kind of surprised but
superhot look crossed his face. “What about pie?”
She sighed. “Pie is amazing.”
“But the kissing…” he prompted.
She knew she shouldn’t tell him the
truth. The guy’s ego didn’t quit. Already. But she found herself nodding. “I
was really hoping you’d be bad at it.
Like terrible. Like no-worry-of-dirty-dreams bad,” she said.
He arched an eyebrow. “And?”
She sighed. “It was really good.”
“Dirty-dreams-tonight good?” His
voice was rumbly and low.
She nodded. “Unfortunately.”
He looked very pleased by her answer.
His mouth curled up. “Maybe we should combine the kissing and the pie.”
Her eyes widened before she could
stop it. That would be… holy crap she would never
recover. “I can’t even imagine that, honestly. I might die.”
