Release Date: October 27

It was supposed to be one fake date…

When sexy-as-sin Harper Henderson launches profanities into the night sky from the balcony below mine, I’m forced to intervene. I may be a professional hockey player with a playboy reputation, but I’m also a good guy. Charming and affable with unrivaled cheekbones and a lack of serious commitments (save for hockey), 

I make an impressive plus-one.

Volunteering to be Harper’s date to her dreaded ten-year high school reunion is easy. 

Pretending not to fall for her when our innocent kisses turn passionate is a little more challenging.

But when Harper returns the fake date favor and accompanies me to my parents’ anniversary party, everything changes. She garners my dad’s respect and effortlessly mingles with my childhood friends. She eases the familial pressure I drown under and makes me crave the things I used to laugh off.

Tangling up with Harper was supposed to be a fun way to pass the summer. So, why does it feel like she’s the real prize? The elusive, fleeting kind of real I’ve avoided for years?

And how can I prove that this playboy wants a different kind of reward? 

One that sounds a lot like commitment…

As a teenager, my naïve heart beat for two boys…

Two unattainable, older, forbidden boys. The kind of boys mothers warn their daughters about.

The hot, soon-to-be-inked-up gangster from the wrong part of town broke every rule, and shattered hearts… I just never expected one of them to be mine.

And my damaged heart still wants them both.

Things are different now though.

They’re lying to me… and the secrets about my past have the power to tear my heart in two.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCERPT:

Little Nate was very excited and looking forward to his first day of school. He woke up early in the morning and looked carefully in the big mirror in his room.

 

Then he looked very carefully.

 

He noticed that he was a bit yellow.

 

“This is so strange,” whispered Nate.

 

Then he called his mom.

 

“Mommy, Mommy, Mommyyyyy! I look a bit yellow today, maybe because I ate too much pineapple and too many bananas last night.”

 

“Oh! Nate,” laughed his mom, “that is all your imagination. But that is very creative thinking, Nate.

 

“Now, please take a shower and get ready for school.”

 

                                                                               REVIEW

This story is about a young boy named Nate. He is just starting his first day of school. This was one playful fun way for children to discover different colors and what they mean in the world. I believe this is a must read for a parent to read to their young child. Very informative and fun all rolled into one.

Love, Untruths, and the Smuggler's Ruse

by Anne Shaw

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

GENRE:   regency romance

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

BLURB:

 

Follow the gentlemen of the Tenet Club— an elusive group of noblemen that investigates crimes committed by the nobility—on a rousing journey of romance, suspense, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.

Viscount Langdon is torn between duty and desire. After his father’s death, he has every intention of resigning from the Tenet club when he meets Mrs. Adare. The lively widow with a knack for trouble piques more than his curiosity, and he agrees to one last assignment.

Mrs. Elizabeth Adare is on a mission to bring a smuggler to justice, and nobody is going to get in her way, not even Lord Langdon. With the aid of the maddening, yet intriguing lord, she follows the clues to a troubling discovery; one that could expose her own secrets.

After the investigation takes an unexpected turn, Elizabeth must choose between revealing the truth of her past and losing Langdon or allowing a murderer to go free.

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCERPT:

“I hardly think listing your positive attributes is the best use of our time.” Elizabeth’s voice came out more husky than was comfortable. Every nerve inside her body screamed yes to Langdon’s flirtatious question. She squashed the unwelcome sensation. A few moments ago, he was berating her in a less than pleasant manner. What a contradiction he was: a man with many layers. If she knew him for a lifetime, would she uncover them all?

 

“What a pity.” Low laughter rumbled from him. He was standing close enough for the heat of his body to infiltrate her thin dress.

 

Elizabeth tried not to inhale the scent of sandalwood and man that invaded senses already heightened by the night's illicit activities. She resisted the urge to rest back against him and lay her head on his shoulder.

 

He had been rather abrupt with her, and by all rights she should be in a snit over his earlier callousness.

 

Should be.

 

But she found herself drawn to him regardless of his surliness. He kept her on her toes, and she enjoyed their back and forth no matter how contentious. “I need a few more minutes to look.”

 

REVIEW

Elizabeth & Langdon

Oh how I adored Elizabeth. She is sweet, caring and just one amazing woman especially in this time period. She does have a secret that no one has any idea about. Langdon is something else. One minute he is sweet and romantic and the next you want to strangle him. These two definitely heat the pages. These two will leave you only wanting more, and I loved how they keep getting into each others paths and when they are together the banter between them was so enjoyable.  So good and I look forward to reading more from the author!

Title: Not Over You

Author: Whitley Cox

Release: October 1, 2022

Genre: second-chance, closet Dom, brat heroine, cop romance, romantic comedy, thanksgiving comedy, heroine with PTSD

She’s thankful for many things this year, but her ex moving back to town isn’t one of them.

Four years ago, Officer Jordan Lassiter swept Rayma Young off her feet, making the twenty-year-old finally feel safe and loved. His quiet, calm, take-charge attitude made it easy for her to trust him with all of her secrets—even the dark ones.

Eager to prove himself as a rookie cop, Jordan accepted a transfer too far away for their relationship to work. Heartbroken, they broke up but remained friends. Or at least that’s what she thought …

Three years later, Jordan’s back and thinks they can just pick up right where they left off.

Not happening.

Hurt and angry for ghosting her, Rayma has slammed her walls back up and not even Jordan and his patient control will convince her to give him back her heart.

But when they wind up at the same Thanksgiving dinner, it’s all Rayma can do to remain strong as happy memories begin to crack the protective shell she’s forged around her heart, while Jordan does everything he can to win her back.

Except give her the one thing she needs.

His trust.

“It’s date number six, Jordan …” Rayma said, exasperated, horny, and looking hotter than she’d ever looked—in her opinion. “Can you at least kiss me for fuck’s sake?”

Jordan’s mouth twisted as he tried to hide his smile. “You really don’t care who can hear you, do you?”

Rayma rolled her eyes. “Sure fucking don’t. This is all just a game to you, isn’t it?”

“Couldn’t be further from a game, Rayma,” Jordan said, ushering them forward as they waited in line for a busy new restaurant that had just opened up downtown. Rayma had been trying to get a reservation for ages since everyone in her classes was just raving about the place, but so far, she hadn’t had any luck. Jordan, however, appeared to have pulled some strings and they had a reservation for eight o’clock. 

She’d changed her outfit four times that night before finally deciding on an adorable but also ridiculously sexy long-sleeved black dress that hit her on her upper thigh and showed off what little cleavage she had in a lace-trimmed sweetheart neckline. Her black boots with the four-inch heels hit her knees, and the black leather jacket that she was also permanently borrowing from Pasha’s closet tied it all together perfectly. She kept her hair down in thick waves and wore tear-drop cubic zirconia earrings, because, well, she was a starving student, she ain’t got the scratch for diamonds. 

Even with Jordan’s reservations, the restaurant was still packed and people were forced to wait outside in the cold as the staff hurried to clear and re-set tables. 

She shivered where she stood, questioning her choice of attire since her entire thighs were exposed to the elements and a sharp breeze from the harbor was tickling her ass cheeks.

“Here.” He tugged her in front of him, wrapped his arms around her front and plastered her back to his chest. He pulled the sides of his open peacoat around her, enveloping her in his heat and decadent scent. “Better?” 

“Infinitely,” she said. She pushed her ass back against his crotch and was pleased with the slight hitch to his breath. At least he wasn’t immune to her advances and friend-zoning her, which was what she thought was happening after date number two and he still didn’t even kiss her. 

By date four she thought maybe she had bad breath or stunk. But after a thorough pit sniff and a lot of mouthwash, she determined that wasn’t the case, either. 

Date five had her ready to end things right then and there, but then when he said he made reservations at Ellapora since the owner was a friend of a friend, she decided she’d at least see how date seven went before she decided to cut the hot, celibate cop loose. 

She did another little hip shimmy and smiled to herself when he groaned and his cock jerked in his dress pants against the crease of her ass. “Careful,” he warned.

REVIEW

Jordan & Rayma

I really loved this one. Circumstances broke these two up. Then one day fate steps in and put them in the right path again. I loved the banter and interaction that these two share. I loved how they both were so vocal. Then when they got together they were explosive and passionate. This story never let me down and neither did the characters. This was a hit for me!

A Canadian West Coast baby born and raised, Whitley is married to her high school sweetheart, and together they have two beautiful daughters and a fluffy dog. She spends her days making food that gets thrown on the floor, vacuuming Cheerios out from under the couch and making sure that the dog food doesn't end up in the air conditioner. But when nap time comes, and it's not quite wine o'clock, Whitley sits down, avoids the pile of laundry on the couch, and writes.

A lover of all things decadent; wine, cheese, chocolate and spicy erotic romance, Whitley brings the humorous side of sex, the ridiculous side of relationships and the suspense of everyday life into her stories. With single dads, firefighters, Navy SEALs, mommy wars, body issues, threesomes, bondage and role-playing, Whitley’s books have all the funny and fabulously filthy words you could hope for.
