Nina Kennedy was alive…but not living…until she met him.

Planes, trains, heights…you name it, Nina was afraid of it and led a sheltered life ruled by irrational fears and phobias. When she moves to Brooklyn for nursing school, that life is turned upside down, as she develops an intense but unwanted attraction to her gorgeous roommate, who’s pierced, tattooed and just happens to be the smartest person she’s ever met.

Behind Jake Green’s rough exterior and devilish smile, lies a heart of gold. He makes it his mission to change Nina’s outlook on life. When he agrees to tutor her, they forge a bet and the stakes are high as Jake forces Nina to face her demons. He just wasn’t expecting to fall hard for her in the process. 

What Nina doesn’t realize, is that Jake has been living his own private hell. Once he drops a bombshell, will their love survive it?

A brand new sinfully sexy standalone romantic comedy from bestselling authors Lauren Blakely and Lili Valente!

When you think about how easy it is to lose keys, phones, sunglasses and your dignity on social media, you might figure it'd be a cinch for me to ditch my V Card.

You'd be wrong.

At 25, I run a successful business, live in a fantastic apartment, and have fabulous friends to go out with any night of the week. And yet I'm still a card-carrying member of a club I don't want to belong to anymore. Good thing I know just the man for the deflowering job—my brother’s business partner and best friend.

Graham Campbell is charming, smart, and, I’m told, oh-so-skilled in the sack. As long as I keep my eyes on the prize, there’s no way this pluck-the-flower project could possibly complicate matters.

***

Work and pleasure. As the CEO of a fast-growing company, I've been enjoying both to the fullest. What do I do when the board throws me for an unexpected loop so I can keep my business in my hands? I enlist the help of my best friend's little sister since she holds a big stake in the company. But then I learn there's another big stake she wants.

The one between my legs.

I can do this. Seven nights to teach her everything I know in the bedroom. There's no way I'll fall for her, even though she’s earning top grades in every single sinfully sexy lesson. And turns out I’m learning something too. The trouble is I don’t have the answer key to what to do when I fall hard for her.

And that throws a whole new hitch in my plans.

- USA Today

Excerpt: 


 As we settle in, the busboy brings the waters, and I cut to the chase. “So, I hate to crash the Sunday Funday vibe, but I invited you to brunch with an ulterior motive. I need a favor.” She spreads her napkin on her lap with a raised brow. “What kind of favor?” “I need you at next Monday’s board meeting. As you know, we lost an important account last month when Beaux RĂªves in Paris went with a cheaper option. Obviously, they aren’t our only account, not by a long shot. But given how volatile the industry has been lately, I need to make it crystal clear to the shareholders that selling isn’t the right path. With the number of mergers and acquisitions going on, they’re seeing dollar signs, but quick money isn’t the answer. That’s where you come in.” “You want them to hear from me because of my shares?” she asks, her brow furrowing. “We don’t have anything close to a majority.” Though CJ inherited Sean’s share of the business when he passed away, that’s not why I need her at the meeting. CJ has a way of putting people at ease, of winning their trust and confidence. She’s a successful business owner in her own right—her accessories company Love Cycle Creations is growing by leaps and bounds every year. Plus, she was courted early on by an accessories conglomerate and she declined—totally the right call, as her company is now a rising star in her field. I nod. “Of course, but that’s not the only reason. I need to convince them that now is not the time to explore getting into bed with a huge multinational retailer. And to do that, it’ll help to hear from someone with an insider’s stock holdings and an outsider’s perspective. I want them to hear from you in particular since you went through something so similar with Love Cycle.” “On a much smaller scale, though. My company is tiny compared to Adored.” “Size doesn’t matter.” I pause to wiggle an eyebrow for effect. “Well, in this case.” A faint blush spreads on her cheeks. “You and the innuendo.” “I do love innuendo. I also love Adored. That’s why I want to keep it the way it is—growing, profitable, and independent. I don’t want it swallowed by some faceless corporate giant.” A smile teases her lips for a moment and then disappears. I can’t read her at all, so I’m on the edge of my seat, waiting for an answer. “Please, CJ,” I add when she stays silent for a long beat. “I need you.” “You need me,” she echoes, her brow smoothing as she sighs. She takes a drink of water, sets down her glass, and runs the tip of her tongue across her lips. I watch her tongue move, wondering why I’ve never noticed how amazing her mouth is. She has the bee-stung lips of a cover girl, in a shade of pink so deep it brings to mind flushed, hot, intimate things. Things I should be thinking of in her presence. In anyone’s presence. Resist, Campbell, resist… Finally, just as I’m gearing up to beg, she looks up, a mysterious smile curving her lips. “I know exactly what you need, Graham.” Damn, that sounded…naughty. I reach for my water glass, needing something to cool me down since innocent words from a woman I’ve known forever are sending my thoughts straight into the gutter. “But before I agree to your request,” she adds, her fingers drumming lightly on the white tablecloth, “I need something from you, too. Something I’ve been thinking long and hard about. Very long. And very hard.” Her eyes meet mine, trouble flickering in her gaze. Glass halfway to my lips, I freeze. Christ. Who the hell is this sexy-as-sin woman, and what has she done with CJ?    

“Lauren Blakely and Lili Valente are a match made in ROM-COM heaven! THE V CARD was an OUTSTANDING romantic comedy that has heart, humor, and an INSANE amount of chemistry! I couldn't take my eyes off the pages for even a minute!”

Review Blitz - TORRID LITTLE AFFAIR by Kendall Ryan

     

TLA Amazon


The best way to get over someone is to get under someone else. And I have the perfect candidate all picked out.

My new assistant is tempting beyond belief with her curvy body and take-no-shit attitude. All those luscious curves, and a juicy ass I’m already in love with. God, the things that I would do to that ass…

But it’s the haunted look in her eyes that speaks to me. Like she’s taken just as much shit in her past as I have—maybe more. We both deserve a little fun.

Love can’t fix everything. Mind-blowing sex and a few killer orgasms, on the other hand?

I have a feeling those might do the trick.

AMAZON | iBOOKS | B&N | KOBO

     


REVIEW:

I have to admit, I have not read Book 2 in the series, but I was able to read Torrid Little Affair and follow along quite fine.  I loved Cooper in Dirty Little Secret. I actually wanted Cooper to win Emma's heart, rather than Gavin. But.....  we all know how that worked out.

I wasn't sure what the expect with Cooper's story. I would categorize it as a love at first site book. Cooper fell HARD for his new assistant, Corinne.  Cooper wears his heart on his sleeve. When he falls, he falls hard. He goes after what he wants, and he makes sure to let Corinne know exactly what he wants.

Corinne is hiding something from Cooper. When we find out what it is, I was taken back a little, yet not too surprised. Corinne is VERY loyal, so in my eyes, that earned her points. I wanted Cooper to get his happily ever after, and at times I wanted to punch Corinne for not being honest with him. BUT, I get it. I get why she did what she did. Knowing that Corinne LOVES unconditionally, I am happy that she FINALLY opened up to Cooper. 

I enjoyed this book, but my only complaint is, I felt like the story was rushed a little. At times I thought the story moved too fast. I wanted more of their relationship.  But I guess every relationship moves at its own pace.

Blog Tour CAPTIVATED BY HIM by Terri E. Laine



Captivated by Him, an all-new standalone from Terri E. Laine about an imperfect hero and the woman he can't let go is LIVE!



Captivated by Him by Terri E. Laine
Genre: New Adult Romance
Publishing Date: December 5th, 2017


Fate plays matchmaker with my heart by repeatedly putting Gavin Volk in my path. Our mutually insane attraction is instant, captivating me from the first time we meet.

The wickedly gorgeous guy knows how to set my body on fire with just one look.
And he’s there for me like no guy has been before.

Only, he says he’s not boyfriend material, not good enough for me. But he won’t give me
a reason why. 

If rumors at our college are to be believed, he's dangerous, connected to the mob. I know he would never hurt me physically, but mentally he's shielded by secrets he doesn't trust me enough to share.

Yet, every time he kisses me, I feel it deep down in my soul.
Just when I think I’ve broken down his barriers, he builds a fortress between us again.

Though I want him.
And I know he wants me.
His secrets keep me far from his heart.

I should walk away with my pride intact.
I can’t keep allowing him in my life only to be shattered when he walks away.
Either he proves his love by trusting me or he needs to let me go for good.

However, my greatest fear is that if he tells me what he's hiding, will I be strong enough to stay?



REVIEW:

Gavin captured my attention in Because of Him. We got a glimpse into his life. We saw that there was a connection between Gavin and Megan.  But we didn't know what happened between the two that kept them apart.

Knowing what I know now, I see why Gavin did what he did. Sometimes when you love someone, you need to let them go. Megan's safety meant more that his own happiness. He saw that the 'family' did to those that he loved. Loving someone made them a target.  

With each turn of the page, the author reveals hints. Hints that by the end of the book, I had an Oh My God moment. I would have never connected the dots. I would have never pieced this puzzle together. 

Not only did Gavin sacrifice himself for those that he loves, his family did as well. Gavin will stop at nothing to protect that he loves.  Gavin doesn't explain any of this to Megan, therefore, Megan grows tired of the cat and mouse game. Megan has been captivated by him from the moment she met him. She was drawn to him, in ways that she couldn't explain. But after months of being around each other, being drawn to each other, Gavin takes a little of what Megan is offering. But that isn't enough for Megan. She wants more. She wants all of Gavin. But when Gavin tells her he can't. that may be the last straw. If he doesn't want her, than he needs to leave her alone. Stop showing up where she is, and stop interfering in her life. 

But sometimes when our heads tell us one thing, our hearts tell us something entirely different. The heart is the strongest muscle in our bodies. The heart is what keeps us going. Will Megan follow her heart?  Will Gavin follow his? Will Gavin stay away from Megan?  The better question is, can he stay away from her. 

I have to say, I am obsessed with the covers from this series....  OBSESSED. Talk about holy hotness. I can totally envision these two men in the stories.

Kudos to Terri. This series rocks.

Excerpt:

“If you want to walk me, you can. But I can make it on my own.”
“Lead the way.”
I had to adjust myself; it was going to be an uncomfortable walk. When I glanced up, I got an eye full of her fantastic ass and had to catch up if I didn’t want fucking blue balls tonight.
When we were side by side, she cast me a look. “And don’t think you’re talking your way up to my room. It’s a boy-free zone.”
I chuckled. “You’ve made your point. Believe it or not, I don’t have to beg.”
It was her turn to laugh. “Your ego knows no bounds.”
“It’s not ego, Angel. It’s a fact. And though you are on a short list of girls who have turned me down since before high school, it’s cool.”
She stopped in front of a red brick building, and now I knew which building held her dorm. I filed that away for future reference.
“Well, it’s healthy you learn that not all women are susceptible to your charms.”
Her warm palm reached up and patted my cheek. I captured her wrist and turned it to press a kiss to the skin at the juncture of her hand and arm.
“Never say never, Angel. I might corrupt you yet.”

BEHIND THE BARS by Brittainy C. Cherry is available for preorder!




“When I first met Jasmine Greene, she came in as raindrops. 
When we met again, I became her darkest storm. “


BEHIND THE BARS, an all new emotional and powerful standalone by Author Brittainy C Cherry is now available for preorder for only 99¢!

Add to GoodReads➜ http://bit.ly/2vZ2rYx

When I first met Jasmine Greene, she came in as raindrops.

I was the awkward musician, and she was the high school queen.
The only things we had in common were our music and our loneliness.

Something in her eyes told me her smile wasn’t always the truth.
Something in her voice gave me a hope I always wished to find.
And in a flash, she was gone.

Years later, she was standing in front of me on a street in New Orleans.
She was different, but so was I. Life made us colder. Harder. Isolated.

Caged.

Even though we were different, the broken pieces of me recognized the sadness in her.
Now she was back, and I wouldn’t make the mistake of letting her go again.

When I first met Jasmine Greene, she came in as raindrops.


When we met again, she was the darkest storm.
