The Worst Guy by Kate Canterbary



The Worst Guy by Kate Canterbary is now live!

ABOUT THE BOOK

Eight weeks of forced proximity is a long time to hate someone you're trying not to love.

Sebastian Stremmel doesn't need another headache. He has enough of his own without Sara Shapiro, the noisy new reconstructive surgeon, stomping all around his surgical wing with her chippy, chirpy cheerfulness. 

But Sebastian doesn't usually get what he wants. 

No one gets under his skin like Sara - so much so a heated "debate" and an exam room left in shambles later, they land themselves in eight weeks of hospital-mandated conflict resolution counseling. Now they're forced to fight fair...which quickly leads them to playing dirty when no one's looking. 

They know it's a mistake. 

They promise themselves it will never happen again. 

They swear they got it out of their systems.

They didn't.

Author's Note: Grumpy/recovering people-pleaser sunshine. Introverts attract. Enemies-to-lovers in the workplace. Banter, bicker, and button-pushing foreplay. Don't tell the friend group, get jealous when the friend group tries to fix her up.

Heat: rip her clothes off before you get the front door open.

This is a relatively new author for me, and I really enjoyed this book and the plot and characters. It easily standalone though it's also part of a series. It also is a more mature book as the main characters are 39 and 42. 

This story takes place in a hospital and features two doctors who work together but who kind of don't like each other much. The problem is they don't just work together but they also live in the same apartment complex and even share friends. Though Sara is on the anti-social side.

Stremmel is the male lead in this story, and he has friends, seniority and has a big, bad attitude. He is a bit on the grumpy side at work. Sara is a plastic surgeon with shall we say attitude and she does not like Stremmel. She thinks he is the Worst Guy, hence the title of the story. 

After an altercation at work, they both get sentences to 8 weeks of anger management and that's when the fun really starts with this book. I was highly entertained with these two who both have real issues which make them the way they are. 

This was a lively story and I really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the homework assignments and watching these two get to know each other and fall for each other. 

I did feel that Stremmel fell for Sarah a bit fast but I felt her reaction took a bit more time than I enjoyed and at times it annoyed me how she treated him for that small stretch. But when she came around, I liked how she explained her behavior.

ABOUT THE BOOK

One night can change everything.

Musician Ford Malone left Texas, without so much as a backward glance—lured by the bright lights of L.A. and the all-consuming world of rock and roll. It’s taken a while, but his star is finally starting to shine. Ready to take the world by storm with his new band, Nobody’s Fool, nothing will stand in his way. Until he sees her again... the girl he left behind.

Since the death of her parents, Sydney Aiken has had no time for romance. Her entire life now revolves around being a full-time mom to her three much-younger siblings. And even if she were interested, the last person on earth she’d get involved with would be the jerk who broke her heart and walked away seven years ago.

A chance encounter brings them face to face and as the past and present collide, Sydney is caught between protecting her family and following her heart. Seven years is a long time, and Ford has no idea he’s about to untangle a web of ugly secrets. But the only woman he’s ever loved is about to slip through his fingers...for the second time. Will he realize that only she can play the melody of his heart?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

USA Today Bestselling and award-winning author Kat Mizera is a South Florida native. Born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust, she's called Los Angeles, Long Island, upstate New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Atlanta home. She's never been able to pick which locale is her favorite, but if pressed, she'd probably choose the west coast.

A typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max), Kat can usually be found scrapbooking or indulging in her second love (after writing) - traveling. Greece is one of her favorite places in the world. She loves that Athens is a big city with a small-town feel. The food, beaches and culture keep her going back as often as possible.

Kat's been a working freelance writer for nearly 30 years. She sold her first article--a review of a rock concert--for $10 in 1985. Since then she's been an entertainment journalist, waitress, bartender, legal assistant, food critic, magazine editor, substitute teacher, and sports writer. She also spent some time working at A & M Records in Los Angeles.

As you can guess from her Las Vegas Sidewinders series, Kat loves hockey and occasionally writes articles about her favorite team, the Florida Panthers. The rest of the time, she writes novels: sexy, romantic fiction that she hopes makes you as happy as it makes her. There's something enticing about hockey players and romance...

 This is the last book in the series and I have really enjoyed it. Each book easily stands alone and features a different couple. This is a rock and roll romance with a second chance at love.

FORD 

This is Ford's story and it was one of my favorites in the series. If you have been reading this series, Ford is the last single guy standing. He also has been fake engaged to Aspen, a youtuber and actress/model for the last six months. She is a Lesbian and has been pretending to date Ford to help her reputation and he really needed the money, so she has been paying him to help her. 

MY FEELINGS ABOUT ASPEN IN THIS BOOK

In the last book she seemed  nice but I really hated her relationship with Ford. I am not a fan of threesomes and her and Ford had those in previous books while they were pretending to date. In this book they never have sex. But the world still believes they are dating. So while Ford never cheats, the world still thinks they are together. For most of the book Aspen is not around at all. But in the last part of the book she has a small part and it was the part of the book I least enjoyed. 

SYDNEY

Sydney is the daughter of a rocker and his wife who went missing a year ago and were thought to be dead but no bodies were found.  They left behind three kids, one a teenager, a 7 year old and a toddler who is 18 months. Sydney became an insta mom to all three. She works two jobs to support her family and one night she goes out to celebrate her birthday and thats when she runs into Ford who is in town.

Lets say these two have old business. When Ford chases Syd she says something to him that opens many questions and he can't let it go so he forces a confrontation. 

Thats when all her and his secrets come out and they have to try and find out who they each are some seven years later. It was a really awesome end to this series and I hope Syd's sister Kristin gets a story and Kingston too. I loved who Ford becomes in this story and we get to see him grow up a lot in this book and this series. It was an awesome finish to this wonderful series and I cannot wait to see what new rockers the author writes about next.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

Sterling Golden—Cocky football star. Rich Playboy with a secret. Guy I’d most like to throat-punch. The cherry on top? I’m stuck pretending to be this d-bag’s girl for the next few months. 

When I spotted him sneaking out the Dean’s window—a woman whose reputation precedes her—I could’ve minded my business. But it’s not every day you catch your nemesis in such a compromising position, so I did what any self-respecting person would’ve done. I added fuel to the scandal that ignited, then laughed while the cops hauled him off in nothing but handcuffs and his boxers. Of course, the arrogant prick found a way to rope me into the lie that got him out of trouble. Which means the only way I come out of this unscathed is to go along with it, pretend we’re a thing. Most girls would kill to be on the arm of a Golden triplet, but I’m counting down the days until it’s over. In public, we give the city the show they crave—a chance to witness their local bad boy falling in love. But when we’re alone, the gloves come off and we give each other hell. Only, who knew exchanging insults and cruelty could feel a bit like… foreplay? 

There’s an expiration date on this arrangement, but as we turn up the heat to convince our city this “relationship” is the real deal, Sterling and I sometimes forget that it isn’t. He might think his recent fall from grace was a disaster, but if he makes me regret this, I swear I’ll make his life a living hell. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice… your belongings might mysteriously catch fire. Consider this your final warning, Mr. Silver, because it’s the only one you’ll get. *** Mr. Silver is a full-length standalone novel (roughly 100k words). This book can absolutely be read on its own, but for the sake of flow and clarity, it’s recommended that you start with book one, THE GOLDEN BOYS (a bully romance trilogy within this series). Do you love the frustratingly hot push and pull of a good enemies-to-lovers romance? Then you’ll love getting to know Sterling and Lexi. Due to adult themes and sexual situations, this one’s only for the 18+ crowd.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

AUTHOR LINKS


This is the first time I have read this author EVER. It is also book 5 in a series of 6 books. The author starts the book off with a note saying that you should read the whole series from book 1 to get the full experience of this series but also that this book can stand alone. Being as I am a rookie of this author and I have not read the previous books, this book easily stands alone. I was never lost or felt I needed to go back and read a previous book.

This series is about three triplet brothers who live in a small town of Cypress Pointe. They are West, Sterling and Dane. From what I gather West and Blue's story is in the first three books, Joss and Dane's story is also a standalone and is book 4 in the series, and this book 5 is about the last triplet Sterling and it puts him together with Lexi.

Their father is Vin and he is in jail and on trial in this story. I am not sure what he did but he is very corrupt, and his sons are the ones who put him in jail, so they testify at the trial in this book.

There is one other element to this story and thats social media poster Pandora, who seems to be the eyes of this small town. She posts everything about the triplets and their lives as it happens, and no one has any idea who she is.

This story is very much about family, the ones we are born to, the mixed families with step kids, and the family that forms from friendship, and then there is the fractured families.

The first 4 chapters in the book are from when Sterling and Lexi are 15 years old and its why Lexi HATES Sterling as the book begins. The book then starts 4 years later when Lexi and S are 19. Sterling is in college and is a football player. He is hot and beloved by the town. Lexi on the other hand is TROUBLE and is a college dropout who just lost her last job.

Sterling has some big troubles and even though Lexi hates him, she helps him out a very tough situation and so starts the fun with these two. This story was absolutely awesome and honestly, I could not put it down. I adored how these two have a very difficult relationship, and no matter what they are there for each other throughout this book. 

Its not really a light read but it was a really fun story with many twists and turns and it's a very intense and drama filled story and I absolutely loved every second of it.


Campus Hottie by Jennifer Sucevic



ABOUT THE BOOK


From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Sucevic comes the next sexy standalone novel in the Campus Series.

Carson Roberts is Western University’s most sought after tight end.  He’s the total package.  A pretty face to go along with all those sculpted muscles—check.  An Academic All-American—double check.  A guaranteed one-way ticket to the NFL after graduation—triple check.

Did I also happen to mention that he’s my brother’s best friend, which means I grew up with the guy and have crushed on him for nearly just as long?

We’re talking a decade of unrequited yearning.  Don’t worry, I’m slowly coming to terms with the fact that he’ll never see me as anything more than the little sis he never had.

Sort of.

And even if he did just so happen to notice that I’ve filled out and no longer wear braces, Brayden would have a major conniption.  When it comes to the male species, he’s ridiculously overprotective.  Any guy who has so much as given me a bit of side-eye has been treated to a swift and memorable beat down.

Which is precisely why I’m still in possession of my V-card.

Want to know how to make being a nineteen-year-old virgin with a major crush on her brother’s best friend even more pathetic?

Blurt out at a frat party that you’ve spent all these years saving yourself for him.  Sadly, I can’t even blame it on the alcohol because I don’t drink.

If you’re thinking it can’t possibly get more humiliating than that, you’d be wrong.

Oh.  So.  Wrong.

*This is a mature New Adult novel with strong language and sexual situations intended for readers over the age of 18*

 This is Carson and Elle's story and it was awesome. It has a lot of angst and unrequited feelings and is a brothers best friend romance.

Elle is a Sophomore at university. Her brother is Brandon and Carson is her brothers best friend and they grew up together. Brandon and Elle's father died four years before and so both Carson and Brandon have been chasing all the boys away. Elle didn't mind because she crushed on Carson. Now that she is in college she wants something with Carson. Carson wants her back but he feels its not the time and he needs to protect her. 

This was a fun story. It was fun watching Carson being very alpha and possessive while also trying to protect Elle. Elle was such a strong character and I loved how she wants what she wants and when Carson denies her she decides to move on, and it drives him insane. This is my favorite trope when the guy goes a bit crazy.

EXCERPT

In an uncharacteristically clumsy move, I unzipped the side pocket while it was pointing down, and all its contents poured out onto the marble floor.
Rattled, I knelt down to gather my keys, a tube of lipstick—and watched in horror as a pink-encased tampon skidded along the polished surface to land in the hand of a stranger who’d knelt down to retrieve it.
Of course it couldn’t have been another woman who picked it up, or an older gentleman who would smile at me like, “there, there, we’ve all had embarrassing moments.” Nope, the man was young, gorgeous, and dressed in a three-piece suit, tailored to perfection. His baby face—with dimples—left me dumbfounded.
I straightened up and forced myself to speak. “Thank you.”
He held on to it, mischief spread all over his GQ-model face. “How can I be sure this is yours? Can I see some ID?”
His flirtation might’ve been cute if it had been a makeup compact or a pack of gum, but for a tampon, not so much. He inspected it curiously. “What is this?”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR 

Aubrey Bondurant is a working mom who loves to write, read and travel. 

She describes her writing style as: "Adult Contemporary Erotic Romantic Comedy," which is just another way of saying she likes her characters funny, her bedroom scenes hot, and her romances with a happy ending. 

When Aubrey isn't working her day job, or spending time with her family, she's on her laptop typing away on her next story. She only wishes there were more hours of the day!

She's a former member of the US Marine Corps and passionate about veteran charities and giving back to the community. She loves a big drooly dog, a fantastic margarita, and football.




 This was an absolutely awesome story and I loved every second of it. It stars Kelsey, who in a previous book we met as Chance's step sister. She had an awful ex and she tried to commit suicide in Chance's book Miss Trust.  

Now she is all better and has dumped her ex and she has a new job working for  Dominic's father as accounting investigator in San Diego. But her real investigation is very hush hush so Nic has no clue and she is not allowed to tell him the truth.

Nic and Kelsey become friends and fall for each other but they have a massive secret between them, one that can destroy his entire family. 

Nic is a COO for his company but he is a free spirit and has agreed to work at the company for one year to see if its a good fit for him. So he ends up as a boss/co-worker in a way to Kelsey so they both decide to keep their feelings and relationship on the down low side.

In this story we see Kelsey's evil mother and her evil ex, but we also see Kelsey be strong and I adored seeing the changes that Kelsey has grown since Miss Trust. 

Nic is a huge flirt and falls really hard for Kels and while she is so not his type he really sees beyond all the material things into her heart and who she is as he falls for her.  Kelsey tries really hard to resist flirty Nic and I loved how she makes him chase her and tries hard to resist him. 

This was so well written and I absolutely adored every moment of the story. I loved Nic's mom and Nic himself was such an awesome character. In this story we also meet Nic's brothers (he has two of them) and I fell hard for them. I hope they get stories too in this series.

 This was a really fun novella especially for the holidays and I really loved it so much. Its filled with hot times, romance, matchmaking coworkers and lots of heart and love. 

Lily works in Dec's department for another worker as his PA. And Dec has had a thing for her for several years. Until one office party where her boss decides to play New Year Matchmaker and thats when the fun and romance starts.

This was a very romantic, hot and sweet romance with lots of romance and low drama. Its a feel good holiday romance and I loved it.

My Unexpected Surprise by Piper Rayne

ABOUT THE BOOK

I never thought of myself as dad material.
Until my one-night stand showed up in my small Alaskan town five months pregnant.

But I don’t shy away from responsibility. First, because I’m a Greene and not to boast but we’re kind of a big deal in Sunrise Bay. Second, I’m the Sheriff.

I couldn’t have predicted how protective I’d become for the safety of her and my unborn baby to the point of asking her to move in with me and be my roommate.

Just when I think I have the situation under control, another surprise knocks me over, but it only spurs me to double down.

I’ll be the first to admit, I didn’t think it through. Somewhere between the dinners, the TV show binging, the doctor appointments, and me walking in on her naked, lines blurred.

In what feels like warp speed, my bachelor for life status is in jeopardy and I’m fighting for the most important thing of all—my family.

Piper Rayne, or Piper and Rayne, whichever you prefer because we're not one 
author, we're two. Yep, you get two USA Today Bestselling authors for the price of one. Our goal is to bring you romance stories that have "Heartwarming Humor With a Side of Sizzle" (okay...you caught us, that's our tagline). 


A little about us.... We both have kindle's full of one-clickable books. We're both married to husbands who drive us to drink. We're both chauffeurs to our kids. Most of all, we love hot heroes and quirky heroines that make us laugh, and we hope you do, too. 

Hosted By:

 This story brings the Greene's and the Bailey's together and I loved that we get to see Kingston and Stella again as they are very close with the books heroine, Allie. 

This is Fisher's story and he is the leading man and he gets the surprise of his life when he goes to the hospital one night to see his niece and brother Jed and his wife Molly. 

This is Fisher and Allie's story and its a wonderful second chance for both characters. The seniors in town are up to mischief as they try and get Fisher and Allie together and lets say they both are a huge challenge. 

Both Allie and especially Fisher have a lot of growing up to do in this story to really be ready for each other. They both have to start trusting each other and really letting each other in and face the future they want. This was a very hot, fun and romantic story and I even cried a few tears near the end.
