COVER REVEAL: We Shouldn't by Vi Keeland



We Shouldn’t
Release date January 21, 2019
A Standalone Con-temporary Romance 
#1 New York Times Bestselling Author Vi Keeland 



Bennett Fox walked into my life on one hell of a crappy Monday morning.

I was late for the first day at my new job—a job I’d now have to compete for even though I’d already worked eight years to earn it, because of an unexpected merger.

While I lugged my belongings up to my new office, a meter maid wrote me a parking summons.

She’d ticketed a long line of cars—except for the Audi parked in front of me, which happened to be the same make and model as mine.

Annoyed, I decided to regift my ticket to the car that had evaded a fine.  Chances were, the owner would pay it and be none the wiser.

Except, I accidentally broke the windshield wiper while slipping the ticket onto the car’s window.

Seriously, my day couldn’t get any worse.
 
Things started to perk up when I ran into a gorgeous man in the elevator.  We had one of those brief moments that only happened in movies.
 
You know the deal…your body lights up, fireworks go off, and the air around you crackles with electricity. 

His heated stare left me flush when I stepped off the elevator. 

Maybe things here wouldn’t be so bad after all. 

Or so I thought.

Until I walked into my new boss’s office and met my competition.

The gorgeous man from the elevator was now my nemesis. His heated stare wasn’t because of any mutual attraction.  It was because he’d saw me vandalize his car. And now he couldn’t wait to annihilate his rival.

There’s a fine line between love and hate—and we shouldn’t cross it. 

We shouldn’t—but straddling that line could be so much fun.

RELEASE BLITZ & 5 STAR REVIEW: International Guy: Volume 3 by Audrey Carlan




Title: International Guy: Volume 3
London ● Berlin ● Washington DC
Series: International Guy #7-9
Author: Audrey Carlan
Publisher: Montlake Romance
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: November 13, 2018



Blurb

From Audrey Carlan, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Calendar Girl series.

Life has never been sweeter. I’m head over heels in love with the woman of my dreams, Skyler Paige. We’ve worked out the kinks of our pasts, and all I want is to start building our future together. But duty calls and International Guy is on our way to London, Berlin, and Washington, DC. Our entire team is about to be tested in ways we never imagined—but I know for sure, no matter how bad things look, there’s no team I’d rather be on…

International Guy Inc. is owned and operated by Parker Ellis, a ladies’ man with a high IQ and a big libido. He’s the most successful life and love coach in the world, and he’s smart enough to know he can’t run a multimillion-dollar company alone.

He hires two friends whose areas of expertise complement his own. They comprise The Dream Maker, The Love Maker, and The Money Maker. Together, they advise the wealthiest people in the world: Hollywood hotshots, European royalty, and the CEOs of multibillion-dollar companies. And sometimes they can’t help it when things heat up and they end up in bed with their clients. Quite literally.

This International Guy likes his playboy lifestyle, and he’s not looking for commitment. After all, there’s a whole world waiting for him. But as he goes from city to city, and from woman to woman, it’s possible that he just might find his own love along the way…

This volume includes the seventh, eighth, and ninth International Guy novellas.

My Review

I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review. 

At the beginning of London, there still are some things up in the air from the previous story. Parker and Skyler are still trying to work through their issues and the fate of a loved one is still hangs in the balance. But luckily things take a turn for the better on both situations and all is well...for now. 

Berlin brings someone from the past back into the International Guy world and things get a tad complicated. Parker has to call in help from a outside source and that's when it gets really interesting. 

Finally, in Washington, DC, we get to go inside the world of politics and it is quite eye opening. And upsetting. But also in this we get the addition of a International Guy employee that causes quite the stir. It meant that we finally get to know a little more about Royce and I can't wait to see how everything plays out! 

Every time I read one of these stories, I fall more in love with the characters. Parker and Skylar continue to work on their relationship and even manage to work together in their professional life. Each city brings a new client and we get to know everyone a little better. I love how diverse each client is and it is clear that the author does her research. Some of the topics are quite complicated and detailed, but easy to understand. I can't wait for volume 4, but I'm also sad knowing that this will be the end of the road for the International Guy crew.

Dirty Little Secret which is currently FREE.

She’s much too innocent for me, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting the sweet, young librarian. I’m dominating and possessive, and my control streak runs a mile wide.
The way she looks at me—like I’m one of the heroes in the books she loves, like I’m broken, and she wants to be the one to piece me back together—it only complicates things further. I’m nobody’s hero.

But there’s no denying my tragic past reads like one of her favorite literary classics. It’s raw. Visceral. Captivating. And together, we’re a perfect mess.

How can I resist when the sexual sparks zapping between us set me on fire? The need to control, and claim her force my walls to come tumbling down, but when she learns about my dirty little secret, will my world come crashing down with it?

5 Star Review: Mouth to Mouth (Beach Kingdom #1) by Tessa Bailey




A man with a prison record has no place around a fresh faced college student. Tell that to Rory Prince. He should stay the hell away from Olive Cunningham. There’s one small problem, though. She won’t stop almost getting killed—and with this too-smart, too-sweet girl holding his heart in her hands, Rory is powerless to do anything but keep saving her.

Homeschooled from a young age, Olive is now out on her own and discovering the world, one milkshake flavor at a time. Until recently, she has experienced life through books. She’s walked in a million sets of shoes while flipping pages—enough to know that Rory gives her once-in-a-lifetime feelings. If only he would stop trying to protect her…from himself.






My Review

I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review. 

I love a surprise. And then add on the fact that is a Tessa Bailey surprise and it becomes THE BEST surprise! I was lucky enough to get an early copy of this book and I LOVED it. It was a quick read, but one that I could not put down.

Olive had a unconventional childhood that left her feeling abandoned and alone. She sees her move to New York as a way to not only start over, but to also find out who she really is. When Rory saves her from walking in front of a bus their connection is instantaneous. He sees her innocence and knows that she should definitely stay far away from him. But Olive knows what she wants. And that is Rory.

These two! Damn. All Rory wanted to do what protect Olive and if that means staying away from her, he'll do it. But of course the universe has other ideas and the two find themselves in each other's path and the end result was usually Rory saving Olive in some way. And I know what some people are going to think, but honestly in the end, it was Olive who saved Rory. Trust me on this.

Rory. Phew! That dude was INTENSE, but in the best way possible. His feelings for Olive ran deep and there were these moments when he was so tortured by them. I just wanted to wrap him in my arms and hug him until everything was okay again. And there is the scene toward the end of the book where he essentially rips out his heart (and mine!) to give it to Olive and I big time ugly cried. So thanks for that Tessa!  ;-)

Now Rory has two brothers, Andrew and Jamie, and I loved how Tessa dropped some breadcrumbs about the rest of the series. If the stories go the way I (and a few others) think they will, I will be a very happy reader!  







Tessa Bailey is originally from Carlsbad, California. The day after high school graduation, she packed her yearbook, ripped jeans and laptop, driving cross-country to New York City in under four days.

Her most valuable life experiences were learned thereafter while waitressing at K-Dees, a Manhattan pub owned by her uncle. Inside those four walls, she met her husband, best friend and discovered the magic of classic rock, managing to put herself through Kingsborough Community College and the English program at Pace University at the same time. Several stunted attempts to enter the work force as a journalist followed, but romance writing continued to demand her attention.

She now lives in Long Island, New York with her husband of ten years and six-year-old daughter. Although she is severely sleep-deprived, she is incredibly happy to be living her dream of writing about people falling in love.

EXCERPT

“Lucia’s Kitchen?” Saige’s eyes widen in surprise as I pull into the valet drive.

“You’ve been here before?” I ask, curious.

“No. I’ve heard it’s amazing but impossible to get a reservation.” She twists her hands together in her lap.

“It is,” I admit. “But my buddy Mark owns the restaurant. Lucia is his daughter’s name.”

She blinks at me. “You know the owner of Lucia’s?”

I grin. “I do.”

"Figures," she says under her breath.

The valet opens the car door to help her out, and I jog around to meet her. Pressing my hand to the small of her back, I guide her into the fancy new restaurant in Old Town. It’s just down the road from my house and one of the neighborhood’s trendiest new restaurants.

“I thought we were just doing drinks,” she says, raising her eyebrows at me.

“We can’t very well have drinks without having something to eat. I saw the way you stumbled out of Bar 51 last night.” I smirk and she blushes.

“Mr. Hamilton, your table is ready,” the hostess says, and Saige falls quickly into step behind her.

The table I requested is private yet overlooks the outside dining area below us so it doesn’t stand out as isolated. The restaurant is dark with dim overhead lights and accent candles on the tables providing the only sources of light. The atmosphere is modern and upbeat, yet still mysterious.

“Would you like a drink? Perhaps a lemon drop shot? That’s what I saw you indulging in last night, correct?”

Her lips twist into a smile she’s holding back, and she shakes her head. “Uh, no thank you. I’ll take a vodka martini, extra dirty, please.”

I damn near choke when she says “extra dirty,” but the waiter nods his head and looks to me. “Jameson reserve. Neat.”

“Yes sir, Mr. Hamilton. I’ll be right out with your beverages.”

“Reserve?” She questions.

“Only the best.”

She puckers her lips, and I can tell she wants to say something, but she refrains.

“So I’m curious,” I begin and rest my elbow on the table. I know it goes against all forms of proper etiquette, but I honestly don’t care. “Why are we here, Saige?”

Her eyes widen, but she doesn’t hesitate. Good. “Because this is where you chose to bring us,” she deadpans.

I throw my head back and let out an exuberant laugh. She’s beautiful, smart, and funny. Everything I knew she would be and more. Our drinks arrive in record time, and I give the waiter a look to which he quickly catches on and leaves us alone. Saige picks up her martini glass and presses the rim to her bottom lip. Her tongue brushes just over the rim, easing the cool liquid into her mouth.

Her lips. That tongue. Fuck.

“So back to the question at hand,” I say, picking up my own drink. "Why are we here?" I pull a quick taste of the smooth whiskey into my mouth, letting it settle on my tongue before swallowing.

“It's embarrassing,” she says innocently, her eyes falling to her lap.

“Tell me,” I demand with a smile. “I’m curious why Saige Phillips asked me out for a drink.”

She winces after taking another sip of her martini and pats her chest as she swallows the bitter liquid. “It was a dare,” she admits with a grimace. “It sounds childish, but we were sitting at the table and Emery decided we should play Truth or Dare, and they dared me—”

“To ask me out,” I finish her sentence. I laugh to myself, although I don’t know if I should be flattered, offended, or horrified. Truth or Dare? I scoff internally.

Saige looks absolutely mortified. She lifts her eyes and finally looks at me, answering quietly. "Yes. It’s an app that Emery has on her phone. It’s a drinking game." She looks as horrified as I felt a moment ago. I smile as she fumbles around nervously with her explanation.

I can barely contain my laughter, and I see her visibly relax. “You asked me out on a dare?” I shake my head.

She nods and grips her martini glass for dear life.

“So what would’ve happened if you didn’t take the dare?” I ask, taking another sip of the smooth whiskey.

“I would’ve taken a shot.”

I study her expression. She’s telling the truth, but why wouldn’t she just take the shot? Seems the much easier choice rather than asking out the boss. “Didn’t look like you had any problem taking shots before you asked me out for drinks,” I quip.

“I had already had a shot,” she fires back at me. “And how would you know if I was taking shots?” She asks defensively.

I study her for a moment. “I was watching you, Saige. I enjoy watching you.” I admit boldly.

She audibly gasps, her chest rising and falling with each quick breath she takes.

I fix my eyes on hers and continue, “And I saw you watching me.”

Her upper lip twitches as she thinks of a sarcastic comeback. I can see the vein in her neck throbbing with the beat of her pulse before she finally whispers, “We shouldn’t do this.” She pulls a green olive off the toothpick floating in her martini, then she pops it into her mouth. The green olive matches her eyes perfectly.

I watch her shift uncomfortably in her chair for a few seconds before I respond, “Why not?”

“Because you’re my boss.” So naïve, sweet little Saige is.

“I’m actually not,” I tell her.

She frowns. “You own the company I work for; same thing.”

I clarify, “I’m part owner of the company you work for.”

She sighs. “Holt, this is just drinks. That’s all.” But her eyes tell me she wants more.

I lean closer to her. “It’s never just drinks, Saige.”
