About THE HOOKUP

Is there an equation for the perfect hookup? Turns out it’s a lot more complicated than one plus one. . . .
Sophie: Numbers are my comfort zone, which explains why my sex life is a big fat zero. Then again, if I’m smart enough to earn a PhD, why can’t I calculate a way to get a guy into bed, just to see what all the fuss is about? With my prima donna sister, Bella, getting married in Maine, I figure her wedding is the perfect opportunity for my little experiment. And Cain Jordan seems hot enough—he’s certainly drunk enough—to show me what I’ve been missing. Judging by the body of evidence, it’s a lot. . . .
Cain: Being stuck in the same town as my lying SOB twin brother, Christian—who may or may not be the father of the son I’m not allowed to see—is a hell of a reason to drink myself silly after the lobster boat docks each day. Any port in a storm . . . But Sophie’s different. She doesn’t play around. And she’s becoming a habit I don’t want to break. Because the smartest woman I’ve ever met is also the sexiest—and the only one who makes me want to change.
Don’t miss Bella and Christian’s story in The Breakup!

Top 5 Reasons You’ll Love Stanislav

Hello! Thank you for joining me!  I’m very excited to be here, celebrating the release of AWAKEN THE DARKNESS, the eighth book in my Immortal Guardians series. (If you’re new to the series, don’t worry. The books can be read as stand alones. You’ll just be more familiar with the secondary characters if you read them in order.) 

Today I thought I would help you get to know Stanislav, the hero, by giving you five reasons Susan falls in love with him . . . along with some snippets from the story that I hope will pique your interest.

1
He’s tall, dark, and handsome.

Susan stared up at him, stunned all over again by his new size. “Wow,” she declared with a grin, “you are freaking huge.”

He laughed.

Reaching out, she gave one of his biceps an experimental squeeze, then poked the hard muscles of his chest. “I like it. You wear it well.”

Smiling, he shook his head. “You’re amazing.”

His words made her want to hug him again. “And you’re delirious,” she teased. “Probably from hunger. I’m guessing someone with that much muscle needs to put away a lot of food on a regular basis. Let’s go see about breakfast.”

2
He loves strong women.

Grabbing one of the 9mms, Stanislav held it out to Susan. “Here.”

She moved forward and took it without hesitation. “Thanks. No way in hell am I going to let those bastards get their hands on you.”

Both men stilled and looked at her.

Stanislav’s blood heated at the protective and proprietary emotions she exuded.

She glanced up from the weapon and caught them staring. “What?”

Alexei met Stanislav’s gaze. “I like her.”

He smiled. “I like her more.”

3
He’s passionate.

He cupped her face in his big hands and smoothed his thumbs over her cheeks while he gazed down at her with eyes that held an amber glow. “I’m here because of you. You gave me the strength to hold on until you found me. And you’ve done your damnedest to protect me and take care of me ever since, even after discovering the alarming differences I bear.”

“I’m thankful for those differences. Without them, you would’ve died before I even went to look at the house and I would’ve never known you.” She shook her head. “And I’m so glad I know you, Stanislav.”

His eyes flared brighter. Lowering his head, he took her lips in a voracious kiss.

Her heart stopped, then slammed against her ribs as lightning struck. This wasn’t like the kisses he had claimed each night before they had fallen asleep. Those kisses had been gentle and affectionate.

This one was hungry. Demanding. And set her blood on fire.

Susan met it eagerly, parting her lips and inviting his tongue within.

He moaned, his hard body crowding hers as he backed her up against the nearest wall.

Yes. He felt so good against her. So strong and hot.

She hissed in a breath as he leaned into her, letting her feel what she did to him and firing her need for more.

4
He has a very appealing sense of humor.

“I just don’t want you to fear me,” he whispered.

“I know. And I don’t fear you.” She squeezed his hand. “Stan…”

When she trailed off, he prompted, “Yes?”

He felt curiosity replaced her unease. “Is it okay if I call you Stan?”

She had called him as much once before, and he had liked it. “Well,” he drawled, trying to sound less than enthusiastic, “I guess so. I mean, I’d prefer that you call me Stud Muffin. But Stan will do.”

She laughed.

5
He’s honest.

 “Thank you for letting me sleep beside you,” he said softly. “It helped.”

Her blush returning, she lowered her eyes to her plate and twirled her fork in her pasta.

“Exhibiting weakness before you makes my stomach clench, but…” He toyed with his dinner. “I needed the closeness, the physical contact. Being alone, buried down there for however long it was…” Irritated by his inability to find the right words to describe the anxiety that rode him, he shook his head. “Having you near comforted me.”

Much to his surprise, she slid her free hand across the table, palm up.

His beleaguered heart tried to pound once more as he covered her small hand with his and curled his fingers around hers.

“Anytime you need me,” she said, “I’m here. Okay?”

“Okay.”



I admit Stanislav’s ability to kick butt was among my original top five things you’ll love about him, but the examples I wanted to share for that one all contained what I considered spoilers. So…


I hope you’ll enjoy Stanislav and Susan’s story! J




Awaken the Darkness 
(Immortal Guardians #8)
by Dianne Duvall 
Kindle Edition, 414 pages
Publication: July 10th 2018 by Dianne Duvall

Return to the "utterly addictive" (RT Book Reviews), "fast-paced and humorous" (Publishers Weekly) world of New York Times bestselling author Dianne Duvall's Immortal Guardians.  

He awakens encapsulated in dirt with no knowledge of how he came to be there. Riddled with injuries, he can remember neither his past nor who he is. Nor can he remember what he is. But surely no mortal man could survive being buried deep beneath the earth. All he knows with certainty is that the soothing voice and presence of the woman moving around above enables him to endure the agony of his wounds. And he will do whatever it takes to be with her.

When Susan first sees the old two-story house for sale, such warmth and longing fill her that—against all reason—she makes an offer. It will take years of hard work and money she frankly doesn’t have to fix up the place. So she can’t explain why she bought it. She also can’t explain what compels her to spend hours one night, digging in the basement until she unearths a man. A man who still lives and breathes despite having been buried alive. A man whose intense brown eyes glow amber with pain, declaring him far more than ordinary. Susan knows she should keep her distance. He has no memory and possesses gifts that would make most fear him. But as the two work together to unravel the mystery of his past, she finds herself drawn in by his teasing nature and tender touch. So much so that she loses her heart to him even as they find themselves hunted by unknown enemies who are ruthless in their quest to capture them.

TEMPTING THE LAIRD Synopsis:

Mystery and desire cloak the Scottish Highlands

Unruly. Unmarried. Unapologetic. Catriona Mackenzie’s reputation precedes her everywhere she goes.

Never one to retreat, Cat boldly goes where no one else has dared for answers.

I really enjoyed this book. I believe this is the first book by Julia London that i have read, but it won't be the last one. I found that Hamlin very loving once Catriona got past his barriers. Catriona is one unique woman and I loved her strength and how bold she was. She didn't fight falling for Hamlin, even though their story appeared to not have a happy ending. This story had a wonderful complexity to it while also having an ease to reading it. I really enjoyed this book and want to go back and read the rest of the stories in this series.

Anything For Love

Today we have the blog tour for Melissa Foster’s ANYTHING FOR LOVE! Check out this fantastic new contemporary romance and be sure to grab your copy today!

Title: ANYTHING FOR LOVE

Author: Melissa Foster

Genre: Contemporary Romance

About ANYTHING FOR LOVE:

Discover the magic of New York Times bestseller Melissa Foster's writing, and see why millions of readers have fallen in love with the Bradens. In Anything for Love… After Charlotte Sterling loses her last family member, she moves to Sterling House, her family's Colorado mountain inn, to live a solitary life. As an erotic romance writer, her days and nights are filled with passion and intrigue-even if only fictional. She loves her busy, quiet lifestyle, and she learned early on that real men can't live up to the fictional heroes she creates-until ruggedly handsome Beau Braden arrives to do some work at the inn and, for the first time in forever, she's intrigued by a real man. Beau lost his first love years ago, and he's never let go of his guilt over her death. As he nears the anniversary of his loss, he is on the cusp of becoming the star of a home-renovation reality show. Escaping the painful memories of his past to work at the defunct old inn is just the promise of solitude he needs to clear his head before diving in to the all-too-public career. But he didn't count on being attracted to the whimsical, adorably sexy innkeeper. Neither Charlotte nor Beau is looking for an attachment or a fling. But the more they learn about each other, the closer they become. Romantic evenings lead to intimate conversations, and neither can deny their deep connection or the passion it sparks. They've never fully healed on their own, but together maybe anything is possible. All Love in Bloom novels are written to stand alone and may also be enjoyed as part of the larger series, so dive right into this fun, sexy romance. THE BRADENS & MONTGOMERYS (Pleasant Hill - Oak Falls). Order of future books is subject to change. Embracing Her Heart Anything For Love Trails of Love Our Wicked Hearts Searching for Love Wild Crazy Hearts Summer of Love Hot For Love Sweet Sexy Hearts Winter of Love Claiming Her Heart   All Love in Bloom novels are written to stand alone without any unresolved issues or cliffhangers. Love in Bloom features alpha male heroes and sexy, empowered women. They're flawed, funny, passionate, and relatable to readers who enjoy contemporary romance and women's fiction. Characters from each sub-series appear in future books. Love In Bloom Series Snow Sisters The Bradens at Weston The Bradens at Trusty The Bradens at Peaceful Harbor The Bradens & The Montgomerys (Pleasant Hill - Oak Falls) The Remingtons The Ryders Seaside Summers Bayside Summers Wild Billionaires After Dark Bad Billionaires After Dark Harborside Nights The Whiskeys & Tru Blue
I loved Beau & Charlotte's story. Charlotte was super quirky and I couldn't help but smile when I was reading her story. Beau blamed himself for the death of his first love and as a result, isolated himself from those who loved him. Charlotte & her quirks were the perfect combination to heal him. Not only was Beau able to heal, he was a romantic to the point where I want to find a man willing to do the things he did for Charlotte and don't want to settle for anything less. Charlotte's love of fairy tales is similar to my own and I was really able to relate to her. This story was a fun read that had me laughing out loud at times and grinning like a fool at others. I absolutely adored it and really can't recommend it enough.

      “Hello. I’m Jax.” His voice was deep but there was a musical quality to it. She would bet he could sing. “This is my brother, Tucker.” Brothers. They oddly didn’t look a lot alike, but she’d seen siblings who she would never have guessed came from the same parents. Tucker wasn’t bad himself. Dark, wavy hair any woman would love to have. It was slightly overgrown but did nothing but enhance his male-model beauty. He seemed far softer than his incredibly masculine friend. Her first impression of Jax hadn’t been false. He was broad and muscular, his face defined by stark planes and lines. He looked predatory and hungry. She could barely breath. Maybe this was a mistake. She would have a hard time watching this gorgeous man fawn all over Heather. Something about him pulled her in, made her want to forget that she had terrible taste in men. It was like there was some invisible tether connecting her to him. Except that was stupid because he couldn’t be here for her. “I’m Heather and my very quiet friend’s name is River.” Heather was smiling that ridiculously sunny smile of hers, the one no man could resist. “Thanks for the fries. You know normally men send over drinks. I’m glad you’re so concerned with consent. That’s very forward thinking of you.” Tucker shook his head. “We’re not allowed to have sex without consent. Do we need a note? Like a contract?” Jax jabbed an elbow in his brother’s ribs. “He’s being a weirdo and moving way, way too fast. Sorry about that. He doesn’t get out much.” Tucker frowned and said something under his breath that sounded like neither do you, but then a sweet smile came over his face. “Sorry. Sometimes my jokes fall flat. Can we please join you? We’re in town for a week or so and besides the Russian dude, we haven’t met anyone.” “Sure.” Heather slid over. River did the same, expecting Tucker to slide in next to her, but it was Jax’s big body that moved beside her. She felt tiny compared to him. She watched as Heather grinned her way as though to say you were wrong. Tucker sat beside Heather and started passing out the small plates. Jax probably wanted to be able to look at Heather. That was it. God, he smelled good. She kind of wanted to lean over and run her nose along his shoulder and up his neck. He smelled like soap and sandalwood. “Can I get you some? I like French fries but they’re even better with cheese and bacon. I think maybe everything is better with cheese and bacon, but if you want something else, I’ll get it for you. You can have anything on the menu. And I’ll buy the wine or beer or whatever. I merely wanted you to understand I don’t want to get drunk tonight. I would rather get to know you.” She turned, expecting to see Jax staring across at Heather. Nope. Those stunning green eyes were staring at her expectantly. He had a plate in his hand as though waiting for her permission to serve her. Her. He was looking at her. “She does talk,” Heather said. “I’ve heard her and everything.” “Yeah, I would love some.” She was hungry, actually. It was odd. Her stomach kind of rumbled, but in a good way. For the last year and a half it seemed she’d lost her appetite and had to force herself to eat, but tonight she smelled the fries and cheese and bacon and wanted. And she wanted him, too. She wasn’t going to lie to herself. This time she would be smart. If he turned out to be a nice guy, she might spend the night with him. Might. And then she would send him on his way because he was a tourist. She wouldn’t fall for him because she wouldn’t spend more than a night.

Mister Tonight

     
From New York Times bestselling author Kendall Ryan comes a standalone romance about a swoony single dad and the new neighbor he falls for.

Last night was the most embarrassing night of my life.

I was THAT girl.

You know, the highly intoxicated chick celebrating her thirtieth with her two best friends—the ones who are happily married. And the more I drank, the more I wanted to do something reckless to celebrate.

By reckless, I meant the sexy and alluring man dressed in a business suit standing near the bar. You know his type
—tall, dark, and handsome. I was sure he was out of my league, but I'd had just enough alcohol that things like that no longer seemed to matter. I'm not fat, mind you, but you can tell I like French fries, so there's that.

He took me home and I enjoyed the hottest birthday sex of my life, well until it came to a screeching, and rather unwelcome halt.

There's nothing quite like being interrupted mid-ride with a little voice asking:

"What are you doing to my daddy?"

Just kill me now…... or so I thought.

Come to find out the man I rode like a bull at the rodeo is my new landlord.

             My review: I absolutely loved this book! I found myself laughing out loud a ton and the chemistry between Hunter and Katie was off the charts. Hunter's daughter was adorable. Things go humorously wrong from the beginning, and they get better from there. The sex was steamy and the banter was witty. This book is classic Kendall Ryan and I can't say enough good things about it.

Whiskey Reveals

About WHISKEY REVEALS (Whiskey and Lies #2)

One whiskey-saturated night turns into something far more in the second standalone installment of the bestselling Whiskey and Lies series from NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan.
Fox Collins likes his life just the way it is. His siblings are falling in love all around him, but he'd much rather focus on his next story than on a serious relationship. However, when his latest one-night stand returns to Whiskey-this time for good-he'll need to learn to trust his instincts to figure out if he can live without her in his life.
Former dancer Melody Waters is finally ready to settle down in her grandmother's small Pennsylvania hometown. Bad decisions and fateful nights have changed her path more than once, but now she's focused on one thing: opening her new own dance studio. But fate is a funny thing, and once again, she'll be forced to learn that actions have consequences and some repercussions can not only change your life forever, they can also come back to haunt you…one broken promise at a time.
Each book is a complete stand alone and can be read in any order.

Get your hand on WHISKEY REVEALS:


Review: Melody and Fox's story was a fun read. Like the previous book, there was a small element of suspense. I found I was able to predict some of the story line, but for me that didn't take away from the book. Melody and Fox had chemistry and Fox seemed like a great guy. I enjoyed seeing Dare and Kenzie again. This book was a quick, enjoyable read and I recommend it.

About WHISKEY SECRETS (Whiskey and Lies #1)

Sparks fly between a former cop-turned-bartender and his new innkeeper in the first installment of a Montgomery Ink spin-off series from NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan.
Dare Collins is a man who knows his whiskey and women—or at least that’s what he tells himself. When his family decides to hire on a new innkeeper for the inn above his bar and restaurant, he’s more than reluctant. Especially when he meets the new hire. But he’ll soon find that he has no choice but to work with this city girl and accept her new ideas and the burning attraction between them.
Kenzie Owens left her old life and an abusive relationship behind her—or so she thought. She figures she’ll be safe in Whiskey, Pennsylvania but after one look at her new boss, Dare Collins, she might still be in danger, or at least her heart. And when her past catches up with her despite her attempts to avoid it, it’s more than her heart on the line. This time, it might mean her life.

Review: This book was a quick read and it was cute, but nothing spectacular. The story was an insta-love that I found a bit unrealistic. If you can get past that, then the book was enjoyable. Adam seemed like a good guy who had too much going on and Kylie was in a bad situation but able to help him. Her mom came off as a little self centered to me, but that might be because my mom is so loving and would never have reacted the way hers did.

But Win has a secret. She’s actually Taylor Winston-Hughes—born to one of the wealthiest families in the country, orphaned as a child by a tragic accident. Win moves in the wealthiest circles, but her lavish lifestyle hides her pain.
When her best friend is murdered in the midst of a glittering New York gala, Win’s charged with the crime, and the only person in the world she wants to see is Henry.
Henry is shocked at the true identity of his lover, but he can’t reject the case. This case could take his new firm into the stratosphere. Still, he’s not getting burned by Win again. And yet every turn brings them closer together.
As the case takes a wild turn and Win's entire life is upended, she must look to the people she's closest to in order to find a killer. And Henry must decide between making his case and saving the woman he loves…

    Review: Win and Henry's story was definitely a complicated one. I wasn't hooked into this story quite as quickly as I usually am with Lexi Blake's books, but I'm so glad I kept reading. Win was a bit naive at times, but her heart was always in the right place. Henry was a cynical man and Win's light was just what he needed. This story had a murder mystery story line and to say that plot was complicated is an understatement. There were twists and turns that I could see coming, and others that I couldn't. Some of the secondary characters were annoying and by the time the murder happened I had zero sympathy for the victim. Once I was into the story, I was hooked and didn't put it down until I got through the very satisfying ending. I can't wait to read more in this series and the other series by Lexi Blake.       Henry glanced up at the clock. Two thirty p.m. Somehow he’d expected Win to show up bright and early this morning. He’d woken up and made a pot of coffee, and he’d gone over all the ways he would explain to her that this was a bad idea.
Because it was still a bad idea.
Alicia might have given in to Noah and Drew Lawless’s blackmail, but she would be back at some point. Then there was the fact that he dealt with unsavory clients on a daily basis. He took on high-profile cases and often got dragged through the mud along with the client.
There were plenty of people out there who hated him. Loathed him and despised the very fact that he existed and cheered if he failed. He was used to it. Sweet little Win was not and would be horrified.
So he was going to tell her how amazing their night together was and then turn her down gently.
Except she hadn’t shown up and that bugged the hell out of him.
She’d been the one to claim she would be here despite the fact that he’d told her not to come. She’d told him she didn’t care what he thought.
It was perverse, but if he’d had her number, he might have called and said a few things about setting expectations and then not meeting them.
He started another pot of coffee. This was completely foolish. She’d put some distance between the two of them and realized how little they had in common. At least one of them had some sense.
The scent of French roast hit the air and he realized he was pro-crastinating. He was putting off the moment when he had to step back into the city and face the music. He would have to work his ass off to find anyone who wanted to hire a lawyer with his tarnished reputation. It didn’t matter that his addiction issues had never cost a client a dime. The perception would be there, and perception was over half the battle in life.
He should pack up tonight and leave it all to the agent. It’s what he should have done yesterday, but he’d enjoyed spending time with David, showing him places on the island and telling him stories.
It was time to go home now. Time to forget about pretending to be someone he couldn’t afford to be anymore. Time to put away thoughts of quiet and peace and get back to being the Monster of Manhattan. That was the only way he was going to survive.
The Monster of Manhattan didn’t give in to urges. He plowed through all problems with a single-minded, ruthless intent. The Monster didn’t need attention, though he tended to get it. Attention didn’t matter to the Monster. Money mattered. Power mattered.
He would get them both back.
The Monster certainly didn’t need some do-gooder in his bed. He would select a woman, rationally discuss his needs with her, and pay her for her services, whether they be as a plus-one to gatherings or as a body in bed. That was how he would view it. Transactional.
Transactional was safe.
So he was going to stop being such a whiny asshole and be grateful that Win had some sense.
A knock broke through the quiet of the house.
He practically ran for the door.

He opened it and there was Win, standing in the soft light of the afternoon, her hair up in a ponytail. She was wearing denim shorts and a blousy, feminine shirt. She had a bag of groceries in one hand and what looked like a duffel in the other.
“I know you said I shouldn’t come back, but you’re wrong and I’m going to give you all my reasons why.”
He didn’t care. She was here. He walked straight up to her and cupped that pretty face in his hands and kissed her for all he was worth.
Fuck transactional. He wanted something real for once in his damn life.
When he came back up, he was rewarded with a soft look in her eyes, her lips curving into a small smile.
“No arguing with me?”
He did have some problems they should discuss. “You’re late.”
Her smile went brilliant. “I had some things to clear up. I thought if you didn’t mind, I might stay with you for a few nights.”
He took the bag of groceries out of her hand and led her inside. “I think that sounds like a great idea.”
“This is way easier than I thought it would be,” she admitted. “Have you had lunch? I could whip up some sandwiches and we could have a picnic.”
He stashed the grocery bag in the fridge. She set down her duffel, and that made it much easier to scoop her up and into his arms. “I know exactly what I want for lunch.”
Her eyes went wide, but she didn’t struggle at all. Her arms went around his shoulders as he carried her to the big bedroom.
It had been cozy in his old room, but he needed more space if she was going to live here with him for a few weeks.
He stopped at the edge of the big bed he’d had brought in after he’d inherited the place. It was the only room he’d redone, with the thought of spending long weekends with his friends up here. He never had managed the time, but now he was happy he’d spent the cash to do it because he could share it with her.
The last few weeks of being Henry before going back to the real world.
He set her down on the bed and pulled his shirt over his head. He wasn’t playing around this time. That was for later. It had been entirely too long since he’d had her.
He needed her.
He knew it was something he should question, even be slightly afraid of, but he didn’t care in the moment. All that mattered was she was here and he could put off any thoughts of letting her go for a few days. He could sink into her.
She was his reward for every crappy thing he’d been through in the last couple of years.
