Arthur ’Fitz’ Fitzgerald is the hottest, most reckless playboy in town… and my new husband?! 

Believe me, I never dreamed that I’d be walking down the aisle to a quickie marriage with a total stranger, but thanks to my eccentric god-mother, an iron-clad will, and a blind, three-legged cat called Alfred (don’t ask), I need to get hitched ASAP. And when the perfect candidate leaves me at the altar, there’s only one person crazy - and drunk - enough to step up at the last minute. 

The best man. 

Also known as the man most likely to get caught romping with three Rockettes in the back of a Sex and the City tour bus. The man who could melt my panties at twenty paces - and make me want to pour a bucket of ice-water over his head. The man I just pledged to love and honor and… oh god, WHAT HAVE I DONE?!

Our arrangement was clear: keep up the charade long enough for me to claim my inheritance and send my slime-ball cousins packing. Our plan is working perfectly. 

Then Fitz decides to change the rules….

Can this fake marriage turn into something real? Find out in the latest hot and hilarious romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author, Lila Monroe

My Review

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

Becca needs a husband. And fast. In order to inherit the building she lives in, she has to be married. When her groom backs out at the last minute, someone else steps in. Becca doesn't know Fitz, but he did know the would be groom, seems nice enough and is willing to help. Oh and he's also British and really good looking. So of course Becca agrees. 

I loved Fitz! He comes off as a player and has a hard time taking anything seriously, but with Becca he can be himself. At one point he even tells her his biggest secret that absolutely no one else knows. He trusts her like he's never trusted anyone. Meanwhile Becca realizes that Fitz is nothing like she thought. He turns out the to be perfect person for her to be married to. After a big of a rough start, these two get along like a house on fire and it doesn't take long for the lines to get blurred. 

This story is super sweet, a little sexy and with some funny moments thrown in. I don't read many stories with the marriage of convenience trope, but this was a great one. And since it's part of the Billionaire Bachelor series, we get a couple cameos of characters from previous books.

They’re both moonlighting as lifeguards for the summer.
No matter how hard they try, they cannot stay away from each other.
And both of them have secrets they’re determined to keep.

But what happens in the shadows of the Long Beach boardwalk can only remain hidden for so long, before the July sunshine reveals the hot, unrelenting connection they never expected, forcing Marcus and Jamie to decide if they’re simply caught up in a temporary heat stroke or if they’ve found something worth rescuing...

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 eleven 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.

TEASER REVEAL Fleeting (Nash Brothers #1) by Carrie Aarons



Today we are sharing teasers for an upcoming title from Carrie Aarons. FLEETING releases March 14th, and it is the first book in the Nash Brothers series! Be sure to add the book to your TBR pile now and follow Carrie for exclusive updates about the book.



Fleeting by Carrie Aarons
Releasing March 14 | Nash Brothers, #1 


Presley McDaniel lives her life from moment to moment.

Making permanent decisions means obligation, and that would force her to stop being the family disappointment. Waitress, fitness instructor, dog walker … you name the hourly job and she’s probably held the position.

But when her grandmother can no longer run her book shop in Fawn Hill, a town so small it barely has its own zip code, Presley steps up to help.

The move from bustling city to green pastures may be exactly what she needs to sort out her life. But she didn’t ask for that happy ending to include a gorgeous veterinarian with an all-American smile and a penchant for snuggling puppies. The good doctor is reliable, responsible, and just the kind of man Presley has always avoided.

Love and commitment are predictable.

So why, the moment she lays eyes on him, are they all she wants?

Keaton Nash has never questioned his steady path.

His brothers may tease him about settling into his father’s passed-down role of small town veterinarian, but Keaton has never minded his rural roots. And after tragedy struck two years ago, he has a duty as the eldest Nash man to look after his family.

What he doesn’t need is the sexy, flighty stranger who shows up in town and gets his broken heart beating again. Presley McDaniel is a distraction, a red-headed temptation that is the definition of a bad idea.

He’s barely recovered from the love who left him to chase bigger dreams, and this woman is bound to do the same.


Except for the first time ever, he wants to abandon stability.

She makes him want to be reckless.

RELEASE BLAST & 4 STAR REVIEW: Diary of a Bad Boy by Meghan Quinn




Dear Diary,

I might have gotten myself into a wee bit of trouble—and I'm not talking about the "court mandated community service," or “therapy sessions from bashing a bloke in the head" kind of trouble.

I wish it were that simple.

Nope. I’m talking about the "falling in love with one of my client's daughters,” kind of trouble . . . 


The kind of problem I can’t talk my way out of when the truth gets out.

How I ended up with her phone is a long story—and when she called to get it back, I took things a bit too far. One innocent exchange wound up leading to so much more.

Fun, new, and totally immune to my charm, Sutton is different. And I had no idea she was the daughter of Foster Green.

Blame it on the dark colored stout running through my veins, pushing me toward one bad decision after another. Pushing me toward her even though I know right from wrong; even though she's my client's daughter.

Dating her might be the best or worst decision I've ever made. Only time, whiskey, and one more roll around the mattress with her will tell.

Roark










My Review

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

After Sutton and Roark accidentally switch phones, the two get to know each other through phone calls and text messages. Sutton just wants to get her phone back and Roark finds that he is enjoying their back and forth. But then fate intervenes and the two end up working together. And that is when the real fun begins.  

Roark and Sutton are a complicated pair. For starters, she is one of his client's daughter. He's also eight years older than her and doesn't do relationships. Roark is a stubborn man and thanks to really terrible parents, he honestly believes that he is not worthy of anyone's love. And Sutton only sees the good in people and really wants Roark to see himself the way she sees him. 

I knew that from the previous book Roark would be a bit salty and sarcastic as hell, but I'm going to be honest here. For the first 7 chapters or so, Roark drove me absolutely insane. He got on pretty much every single one of my nerves and I was worried about if I would enjoy the rest of the book. 

But luckily Sutton was there to help balance things out. She was able to give him a taste of his own medicine and she was able to put Roark in his place more than once. I found myself cheering her on and hoping for these two to find a way to make things work. 

This book has Meghan's signature humor and I laughed out loud more than once while reading it. It was mostly when Roark with Bram and/or Rath because those three together is a ridiculous bromance that is funny, but also adorable. If you read The Secret to Dating Your Best Friend's Sister you know that Bram has found is happily ever after and I'm looking forward to reading Rath's story.

Divorced. Single dad. Traded to a losing squad.

Cheated on, betrayed, exposed.

The last thing I need is her.

A wildflower. A storm. A woman I can't resist.

Lotus DuPree is a kick to my gut and a wrench in my plans from the moment our eyes meet.

I promised myself I wouldn't trust a woman again, but I've never wanted anyone the way I want Lo.

She's not the plan I made, but she's the risk I have to take.

A warrior. A baller. The one they call Gladiator.

Kenan Ross charged into my life smelling all good, looking even better and snatching my breath from the moment we met.

The last thing I need is him.

I’m working on me. Facing my pain and conquering my demons.

I've seen what trusting a man gets you.

He never gives up, and now...I'm not sure I want him to.
