ON SALE NOW ! Text and Confused by Melanie Summers & Whitney Dineen

ABOUT THE BOOK


It's hate at first text. Or is it...?
 
I'm Toni Capella and I'm a bad-man-o-holic. (Hi, Toni!). If a guy lives on the eastern seaboard, is covered in tattoos, muscles, and motor oil, I've probably already dated and dumped him. But it's a new year and for the first time in my twenty-nine years I'm determined to attract Mr. Right. I'm doing this by changing my type and my look.
 
So when super-hot contractor Cooper Flint walks into my office, I immediately put him on my 'no way' list. He embodies every bad boy trait there is. Besides, my eye is on another new co-worker, Somner Livingston. Handsome, well-heeled, and professional, Somner is nothing like my usual type, which I assume makes him perfect for me.
 
Determined to take things slowly for once, I insist Somner and I keep our budding relationship separate from work. I even suggest we do our initial courting via text while we get to know each other better. Things are going beautifully and just when I'm starting to think he's 'the one,' I find out there's been a horrible mix-up. My boss accidentally gave me Cooper's number, not Somner's, and I'm falling for Mr. Wrong, again.
 
Unfortunately, after I break it off with Cooper, I discover that Somner isn't the good guy he portrays himself to be. When Cooper rescues me from a compromising situation, I belatedly realize I might be been missing out on the man of my dreams.
 
Have I lost my chance at true happiness or is there someway I can convince Cooper I'm the woman he needs?

ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Meet Whitney Dineen

Whitney Dineen is a rock star in her own head. While delusional about her singing abilities, there’s been a plethora of validation that she’s a fairly decent author (AMAZING!!!). 


After winning many writing awards and selling nearly a kabillion books (math may not be her forte, either), she’s decided to let the voices in her head say whatever they want (sorry, Mom). She also won a fourth-place ribbon in a fifth-grade swim meet in backstroke. So, there’s that.

 

Whitney loves to play with her kids (a.k.a. dazzle them with her amazing flossing abilities), bake stuff, eat stuff, and write books for people who “get” her. She thinks french fries are the perfect food and Mrs. Roper is her spirit animal.

Meet Melanie Summers 


I got SUPER lucky and my first novel, Break in Two, a steamy contemporary romance cracked the Top 10 Paid on Amazon in both the UK and Canada, and the top 50 Paid in the USA. My Full Hearts Series was then picked up by both Piatkus Entice (a division of Hachette UK) and HarperCollins Canada. 

 

My first three books have been translated into Czech and Slovak by EuroMedia. Since 2013, I've written and published sixteen novels and three novellas (and counting). I've sold over a quarter of a million books around the globe, and received two Bronze Medals at the Readers’ Favorite Award in the Chick Lit Category for The Royal Treatment (2018) and Whisked Away (2019), and one Silver Medal at the Readers' Favorite Awards in the Women's Fiction Category for The After Wife (2019).

 

Not bad for a newbie, eh?

 

I'm from Edmonton, Canada, where I live with my taller half, our three 'spirited' children (such a nice word to describe the chaos, no?). We also share our home with the cuddliest no-eyed dog ever, Lucy, and a furry Cuban dictator named Nelson. When I'm not writing, I love reading (obviously), snuggling up on the couch with the gang for movie night (which would not be complete without lots of popcorn and milkshakes), and long walks in the woods near my house.

I also spend a lot more time thinking about doing yoga than actually doing it, which is why any authorized photos of me are taken ‘from above’.

 

Oh, and I also love shutting down restaurants with my girlfriends. Well, not literally shutting them down, like calling the health inspector or something. More like just staying until they turn the lights off.

I really enjoyed this book a lot. I loved Toni and the two guys that like her are two guys she works with. Somner is the guy helping her boss fundraise money to build homes for the homeless and Cooper, is a wealthy builder who is in charge of building the new homes village for the homeless.

Both of the guys know each other but hate each other and are extremely different guys. So which one will Toni pick? Cooper is more the blue collar guy while Somner is more of a classy guy. The choice between the two guys is primarily what this story is about. 

While I enjoyed it, I wanted a bit more romance and see Toni actually date the guy she ends up picking. I would prob call this more chick lit than romantic as its more about Toni and where her heart and brain take her in the road to romance.

The O Zone by Kelly Jamieson

The O Zone by Kelly Jamieson is now live!
Available on All Platforms

ABOUT THE BOOK

He's on the defense against love but scoring in the O zone is so much fun…

Owen Cook

I have one goal: To be the best hockey player I can be. I’m not going to waste the opportunity I have. All my focus is on hockey. I avoid distractions like women and relationships during the hockey season, but when a quirky subway busker asks me out on a fake date, somehow I’m intrigued enough to accept.

Emerie Ross

I gave up my music dreams to look after my half-sister. I don’t want her to feel as alone and neglected as I did after our mother died. But my ex-boyfriend is still trying to win me back and now my stepfather is helping him. Gah! I’d rather drink bleach than marry Roman Moretti. If they think I’m involved with someone else, maybe they’ll give up on that idea. All I need is a man…a date for a party.

Owen

When Emerie introduces me to her wicked stepfather (ha) I realize I’ve made a huge mistake. He’s my boss—the man who owns the team I play for. And he’s not happy to see me with Emerie. Can you say career ending move?

Emerie

Oops. I hate hockey. How was I supposed to know who Owen is? How are we going to keep Vince from trading him away? How am I going to make sure I stay happily un-married? We’re going to have to keep up this pretense even if it means me going to hockey games. Ugh. Even if it means disrupting Owen’s rigid routines. Even if it means everything gets a lot more complicated…

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Connect with Kelly:


 The author has written several hockey series. This is her second Bears series and its called Bears 2. It is the first book in the new series. What's cool is we see characters in this series from the Bears 1 series as well. 

This story was really original. Honestly, I have never read another hockey book that was anything like this story and it was what made this story so interesting. The female main character in this story is Emerie. She has a half sister who is 12, Cat, and their mother died several years before. She has a stepdad and both girls don't spend much time with the dad Vince though they live with him.

Emerie has always felt very alone, and she never wanted that for Cat. She loves music and is very talented but because she takes care of Cat she never went to college and doesn't have a job, so she can take care of Cat. Instead, she works as a Busker. She plays music in disguise at subway stations. 

And that's where she meets her biggest fan, Owen. One day she decides to talk to him, and she asks him to be her date because her stepdad is trying to fix her up with an ex, Roman. And that's when her stepdad, Vince, Owen and Em get a huge surprise.

Vince wants Em to date and marry Roman. Em wants to take care of Cat and date whoever she wants, and well Owen really just wants to play hockey. When Vince plays hardball with Em, I loved how Owen steps up. I also loved that Em ends up making some friends from the characters in the first Bears series. I love how they have her back no matter what.

This is really a coming-of-age story. All the main characters, Vince, Cat, Em, Owen, and even Roman really grow in this story. They mature and grow up and have to decide what they want their future to be. They have to let go of the past and move on and sometimes that is easier said than done.



Beyond the Play - Out of Reach #3 - by Kaylee Ryan






ABOUT THE BOOK

Parker

Of all the hot guys in the club, of course I find myself tangled up with a baseball player. Our chemistry is out of the park, igniting as his athletic body moves next to mine.

I know exactly who he is, but the infamous Holden Bailey has no idea who I am, or my connection to the team. I prefer it that way. I give in to one dance with Holden and send him home alone.

He can have any woman he wants, but for some reason, he wants me. His pursuit is relentless. He wrote the playbook on being a player, though. Giving in could cost me my heart.


Holden

I thought getting traded to the Blaze was life changing, but it’s nothing compared to meeting Parker Monroe. From the moment she bumps into me on the crowded dance floor, I can’t tear my eyes away.

She’s gorgeous, intelligent, and definitely not interested. At least not in the player the media portrays me to be. I need to convince her that with her, I’m authentic, and what we have is the real thing. Game on.

When the truth gets twisted, it looks like I’m playing her. But she has it all wrong. The way I feel about Parker is beyond the play. She’s my end game.

This is book three in the series, and it was sweet, hot and a lot of fun. It stars Parker Monroe who is the daughter of Easton Monroe, a former baseball player. Her sister in book 2 found love with a baseball player and now its Parker's turn in this fun romance.

Parker meets Holden and they both are very attracted, but she knows Holden is a HUGE player. At first, she thinks he is in town temporarily and then she found out he has been traded and is a new player on the local team that her uncle coaches and where her brother-in-law plays for. 

Holden falls hard for her at first glance and as he tries to get her to give him a shot, he falls even harder for her. As she gets to know him, she starts the seeing who he is and what an awesome guy he is.

I really loved him. He was all in from the moment he sees her and the things he does to show her who is and that she is different made me smile, giggle and sign. This was a really romantic story and I loved it from start to finish. 



New Release!!! ONLY ONE MISTAKE by Natasha Madison

ABOUT THE BOOK

A one-night stand gone wrong?

Michael
Being traded after fighting with your coach on air isn’t exactly a good look.
With one mistake under my belt, I knew I needed to focus on the game and nothing else.
But everything changed when I went to pick up my niece and came face-to-face with my very pregnant one-night stand from six months ago.

Jillian
Two pink lines changed all my plans.
So did the guy I had a one-night stand with, a man who made me laugh and smile, a guy who I called to share my unexpected news with, only to find out his number was no longer in service.
Once more letdown by the opposite sex, I figured I was doing this on my own.
Then one day, I was staring into the eyes of the man I hated, the father of my baby.

 This was an awesome new story in the series and I LOVED it so much. I am not even sure I can express how much I loved it. Part of my love for it was because its about  Max and Allison's son Michael and they and his sister Alex have a huge part in this story. 

Michael gets traded to Dallas and he is excited because it means he plays on his cousin Cooper's team. On his first night in town he meets up with Jillian who is single and they have a very fun night. They  exchange numbers and are really into each other and the book then picks up five months later and thats when we find out what happened that they never reconnected.

This was a really fun story. I think its best read blind but it was so much fun. We get a lot of Max and Allison time and honestly that was my favorite part of this book. Max shares a connection with Jillian's family that made me just sigh. I absolutely adored that connection and its why Max was such an awesome part of this story.

We also get to know Alex and Dylan more and well I cannot wait for their books. I also loved meeting Jillian's twin sister and I hope she gets a book also down the line. This book is prob one of my top favorites in the second generation of this series.

Doctor Mistake by J. Saman



Doctor Mistake by J. Saman is now live!

          ABOUT THE BOOK


He's my best friend's older brother. My boss. And now my new roommate...

In the hospital, death always comes in threes. Apparently, so do mistakes.  Mistake number one? My fiancé, who I just learned is cheating on me. So much for being the strong, in control doctor who's always on top of her game...  
Mistake number two? Knocking on the wrong door. 
The door I thought still belonged to my best friend now belongs to his older brother, my obnoxious, overly cocky, gorgeous-as-sin attending physician, Carter Fritz.   
The billionaire playboy gives me a place to stay, and a shoulder to cry on. But when he makes me feel seen for the first time in I don't even know how long, I tell myself I don't regret what was easily the hottest, most earth-shattering night of my life.   
That is until mistake number three comes along...and I'm staring down at a stick with two pink lines.  
Having a baby at this stage of my residency could cost me everything I've worked so hard to build. 
But Carter? He's undeterred. He doesn't just want more; he wants it ALL.  
Including me.   
But what happens if following my heart turns out to be my biggest mistake of all?

 This is book 2 in a series about a family of Billionaire Boston doctors. This Carter Fitz's story and he is paired with his younger brother, Oliver's best friend, Grace who at the start of the book is engaged to Tony.

This was a fun story but it's not what I would consider a light read. At times I loved the story, but it was very intense and is definitely not a light story.

It's very much a forbidden romance in so many different ways.

1. Carter is crushing on Grace who is engaged

2. Carter is not just her best friend's brother, but he is also a doctor and Grace is his intern and resident.

3. Grace and Carter end up as roomies

4. Carter's parents feel like Grace is one of their children and have known her since she was a young child.

One aspect of this story I found fascinating is that Grace has Epilepsy. She has it fairly well controlled, but she also is constantly monitoring it and we even get to witness a seizure in this story. 

Another reason I really loved this book is that Carter is the one crushing on Grace. She has been engaged and has not really noticed Carter or that he has a thing for her, until they start getting closer when her engagement ends. Usually, it's the woman crushing. But I loved that in this story its Carter that wants more.

This was a very romantic story. I loved how Carter treated Grace and how he is there for her. I hated the evil Janet, but I loved how Carter dealt with her in this story.

Brassy Bigwig A Cocky Hero Club Novel by Murphy Wallace







Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward are excited to bring you the Cocky Hero Club: original works from various authors inspired by Keeland and Ward's New York Times bestselling Cocky Bastard series.


ABOUT THE BOOK

D is like a forbidden fruit, and I’m aching for a taste.

I didn’t want to be enthralled by the Greek god across the pool,
but the sexual magnetism between us was too strong to fight.
After one night of unbridled passion, I left his bed,
resigned to the fact that I’ll never see him again.

I didn’t count on my dreams haunting me… consuming me.
Causing me the kind of agony only his touch could alleviate.
And I sure as hell didn’t expect my carnal, salacious one-night-stand
to be my new, pompous, unapproachable boss.

With Chloe, I want it all.

Waking up in an empty bed after the single best night of my life
hurt me in a way I never expected it would.
I searched for her for an entire month before I found her
in a skin-tight pencil skirt that made me want to bend her over my desk.

I didn’t count on the battle we would fight…
the obstacles that would hinder our path to love.
But I knew we could overcome everything thrown our way.
Even with the odds stacked against us and our very survival at stake.

Brassy Bigwig is an edgy contemporary romantic suspense inspired by Stuck-Up Suit & Mister Moneybags.

COCKY HERO CLUB






 This is my first time reading this author and wow it was so GOOD!! It had romance, secret identities, a boss-employee relationship, evil exes, stalkers, danger and an age gap romance. 

This is part of the Vi Keeland Cocky World and it has two groups of characters from those book. The main character in this story is Chloe who is Graham's daughter (Her mom is Genieve). In addition the male lead is Trey/Dimitrios who is close friends with Dex Truitt and his wife. 

Chloe is about to start a new job in NYC and her best friend talks her into taking a small vacation to Greece. There she meets Trey and they enjoy one fun filled night before she disappears. Trey is just out of a divorce and was being blackmailed by his last assistant, so he is looking for just one night as well.

Then we catch up with Chloe in NYC at her new job and its not going well shall we say. Thats because she has an evil boss who is never happy and thats when she runs into Dex. And thats all I am spoiling.

This book is filled with drama but also lots of suspense and also hot scenes, romance and some awesome characters that I simply adored. I adored Chloe, who is one tough woman. She is definitely the daughter of Graham and it was awesome when we got glimpses of the Graham in her. 

Chloe also has a stalker and it was a really sinister stalker. And I loved that I had to try and figure out who that was. Its also a very nasty and evil stalker, so one scene is very bloody shall we say. This book had many secrets and I loved that I never knew what would happen next in the story.
