He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not

A Steamy Romantic Comedy 

(The Flower Shop Sisters)

Author: Iris Morland

Genre: Romantic comedy

Release date: July 16, 2019

MY OPINION

Prim and proper meets Irish brogue and rugged charm.

Flirty, light, fun, and as steamy as a hot kettle.

If you want to have a good time and a smile on your face non-stop, this is the book to read.

Rom-Com with a quick pace, a couple that has efervescent chemistry, and a quirky plot that you root for no matter how ridiculous it should be in real life. Drunken marriage in Vegas? Sure, just the perfect prelude to everlasting love. Totally acceptable, and please give me more :-D

The banter betwen Mari and Liam is delicious. She might be a good girl, but she melts when she is confronted by Liam's tempting masculinity. In close quarters, this hard-in-all-the-right-places man is too hot to resist. From a drunken mistake, they end up keeping up the charade of this marriage for a reason that I found adorable and made me love Liam all the more. Mari is cute and is looking for a brigther future than her safe-at-all-costs mentality has led her to up until now. I think this couple is made for each other despite the odds. He is against marriage? No biggie, Mari will change his mind and his heart with all her red-haired cuteness ;-)

The cheeky dialogues combine with a woman's journey to free herself from emotional baggage that's hindering her happiness. I really liked that. And it surprised me how hot and posseessive Liam ends up being towards his unintended wife when at first he had reneged from it all. Wow, those sheets are set on fire!

The ending is so romantic, funny and naughty too, and it hints at promising things to come. I'm hooked! <3

SYNOPSIS

I’m a good girl—until I got drunk in Vegas and married a panties-flaming-hot Irishman.

Oops.

I’ve always lived my life by the rules. Unlike my two sisters, I’m the good one. The responsible one. Going outside my comfort zone is when I wear red lipstick before five PM.

That comfort zone of mine? It’s smashed to smithereens on a wild night in Las Vegas when I met—and married—Liam Gallagher.

After one shot of tequila, then two, then too many to count, a good girl’s rules tend to disappear. And so do her panties, and her bra, and various other articles of clothing when she’s with an Irishman who knows his way around a woman’s body.

Now my husband wants us to stay married. For six months. He says it’ll be worth my while. Considering our chemistry underneath the sheets, I can’t say that he’s wrong.

Liam isn’t safe, though. Liam definitely isn’t comfortable. He’s like the male equivalent of wearing red lipstick in the daytime all wrapped up in an irresistible, dangerous package.

Yet this stubborn Irishman isn’t about to let me go, drunken Princess Bride-themed Vegas wedding or no.

Now I have to decide if I’m brave enough to break the rules for love.

Cover Time: The cute beauty of Fake Date

Hi, book buddies ☺ The moment I saw the cover of Save the Date, I fell in love. And it's no different with this cute beauty in pink. So lovely 💕

Fake Date by Monica Murphy

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Publishing date: September 17, 2019

Cover Designer: Hang Le

Working at Bliss Lingerie, Sarah Harrison deals with all sorts of—interesting clientele. Yet no one sparks her interest more than Jared Gaines, the ultra-rich, ultra-sexy businessman who frequents her shop, buying delicate little “gifts” for the women in his life.

But one day, Jared sends her a gift from Bliss. Then another—and another. So when Sarah walks into his office demanding to know why he can't stop sending her gifts, he makes her an offer she somehow can’t refuse: be his fake girlfriend for the weekend while attending his brother’s engagement party.

Next thing Sarah knows, she’s in San Francisco, pretending to be in love with Jared. Not that it’s a hardship. Once you get the man away from the office, he’s much more relaxed. Sweet. Funny. Even…thoughtful? Oh, and sexier than ever, of course.

Their pretend relationship feels very real, very quickly. Soon Sarah’s in over her head. Could what she and Jared share turn into something real? Or is it all actually…fake?

Give in to Sensation Fantasies

Hi, book buddies :-) It's a new week, so what are you doing? Holidays, shopping spree, napping? :-D

Our first stop of the week is for SENSATION FANTASIES, a new three-part serial that's bursting at the seams with hotness.

MY OPINION 

I suppose everyone is curious about what an adults only-club is like or what it would entail for ordinary people to join. This serial poses that circumstance in a realistic, yet arousing way. The writing style is good, and it reflects the slightly decadent and mainly exploratory atmosphere of this kind of club where people go to shed their inhibitions and try out their kinks.

This first part introduces a long-married couple in love, but who's lost the lustre to their intimacy due to kids, busy jobs and lack of initiative. It all changes when the wife finds out about this club and convinces her husband to try it. I loved that they shared their doubts and curiosity about everything, they communicated every step of the way. It's a process to grow used to what's going on in the club and it made it feel natural. I also loved their physical awakening, and how they engage in activities that they hadn't anticipated. I'm not exactly into that but the way it was introduced is very appealing.

I'm eager to see where their libido will lead these characters in the next installment of this daring, hot, sensual story.

When Damien Stark says Indulge Me

Hi, book buddies :-) Do you want to indulge in an intense novella by J. Kenner? You're in luck, there's a new one just ready to be loved.

MY OPINION

It's always a decadent pleasure to go back to Damien and Nikki. This novella sways between beautifully blissful marriage life and darkly alluring journey through the senses.

Damien Stark loves his wife above all else. He's planning to set up a way to protect the innocent from the monsters in this world. First, though, he has to show his beloved the real extent of her strength. 

This chapter of their lives gets surprisingly daring and exhilarating. Damon and Nikki renew the bond between them in deeper, more meaningful ways that fill this story with pleasure, feeling and power. I loved how true it still feels to continue the adventure alongside these characters. The setting is as perfect as what they learn there about themselves.

I also liked the other characters' support, and I think Antonio's story is going to be amazing.

We are beyond excited to be sharing this release from J. Kenner with you today! INDULGE ME is part of the Stark Ever After series and it is releasing as part of 1001 Dark Nights.

 Click here to grab your copy now. Amazon US  |  Amazon UK  |  Amazon CA  |  Amazon AU

About INDULGE ME: 

Despite everything I have suffered, I never truly understood darkness until my family was in danger. Those desperate hours came close to breaking both Damien and me, but together we found the strength to survive and hold our family together. Even so, my wounds are deep, and wispy shadows still linger. But Damien is my rock. My hero against the dark and violence. And when dark memories threaten to consume me, he whisks me away, knowing that in order to conquer my fears he must take control. Demand my submission. Claim me completely. Because if I am going to find my center again, I must hold tight to Damien and draw deep from the wellspring of our shared passion. 

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Hi, book buddies :-) How are you doing? Ready for a new reading experience? ;-) Prince of Sin is exactly that.

Prince of Sin

by Cass Ford

Genre: Contemporary Romance 

When a savvy gossip vlogger and porn’s most renowned bad boy fall in lust, they must decide if they’ll follow passion into dangerous territory.

When savvy gossip vlogger Morgan Sidney gets assigned the breakup of porn’s most illustrious couple, she strikes a deal with her boss—if she scores an exclusive, she’ll get promoted. So when the famous and flirtatious Prince of Sin offers to fulfill her three wildest sex fantasies, Morgan must decide whether she’ll keep things professional or surrender and explore her sensual side.

As someone who despises the media, why is Chase Prince spending time with a reporter? Clearly, he’s intrigued. But can a scorched sinner—and the biggest smut star around—let a fierce civilian enter his domain?

Prince of Sin takes readers beyond Tinseltown’s glossy Hollywood Hills to Silicone Valley—for a behind-the-scenes look at a sometimes bleak, always risqué world.

ENJOY AN EXERPT

“She needed to be this fake, tabloid-friendly couple,” Chase revealed. “That’s
why I don’t care what strangers think. It’s all horseshit.”

His laissez-faire image philosophy impressed Morgan. She’d been raised to
present most respectably in a prim world. They hiked in silence for a
moment until strangely, an out-of-site owl hooted. “You want to direct?”

“Wanted,” he clarified, stiffening and scratching uncomfortably behind his
neck. “But Tori’s right, I know nothing about directing.”

As they passed another group, one guy shouted, “Love your work, man!”
Chase softened, high-fiving the guy. He took recognition in stride.

“And you?” Chase asked.

A raindrop skimmed her arm. “What about me?”

“Once you’re free from this wretched porn beat, you’d like to work on real news
?” When she simply shrugged, he asked, “What do you want to do with your
life?”

“To make the news, not just report it,” she explained, breathing deeply as they
approached the hilltop.

“How?”

“However I can,” she responded, an enthused smile forming. “Perhaps I’ll
write world-changing features, do humanitarian work, bridge the gender
gap, produce controversial films and market the fuck out of them, because
all I do is read marketing blogs and brainstorm creative ways Slander could
sell itself better.”

They reached the summit to face hazy L.A. Catching her breath, Morgan
clutched her ponytail in defeat. Inland, downtown skyscrapers vanished into
darkening clouds. Westward, a continuous stream of airplanes landed at
LAX, ushering more dreamers to the City of Angels. “How will I ever make a
difference with twenty destinations and no GPS?”

To Chase, Morgan’s response was sexier than anything he had heard in a
long time. Almost daily, he met self-obsessed women counting Followers
and Likes. But Morgan hoped to help others, to change the world for the
better. Her compassion inspired awe.

He frowned, mortified at having once suggested a private session with
someone so genuine. He’d never desired a woman’s inner beauty, but
suddenly nothing aroused him more. Marching over, he lifted her chin and
softly kissed her. She closed her eyes, melting into his inviting lips.

When a raindrop splashed their noses, they separated and exchanged
fraught glances. The sprinkle escalated, thunder erupting as people dashed
to their cars. Chase and Morgan followed, carefully descending the summit
under a thickening downpour. Reaching a plateau, Chase considered the
view and saw that Grieta Profunda Canyon Park, the public hiking
metropolis, was clearing out. He grabbed Morgan’s hand. “Stop!”

She raised an eyebrow as he turned his hat backward before seizing her
face. Their mouths met with force, tongues entwined, hearts racing. She bit
that luscious lower lip, a craving finally fulfilled.

Besides a few ant-sized stragglers in the valley, they were completely alone.
It was undeniably a public tryst, overlooking Los Angeles, yet sheets of rain
placed them in safe seclusion.

Chase backed Morgan through bristly shrubs before pressing her against a
steep slope. Dry dirt slopped into mud and splattered their legs, but neither
cared, devouring each other their only concern.

Cass Ford began creating smoldering male protagonists when she was five years old and convinced her aunt that she had a hot and heavy kindergarten boyfriend. In grade school, she penned tales on her parents' typewriter and by middle school sold her own love and gossip magazines to friends. As a preteen at sleepover camp, Cass often told playful, steamy bedtime stories to her bunkmates.

After earning her Bachelor of Journalism degree and several TV/film certificates, Cass continued to hone her passion for storytelling as a television development producer. Born and raised in Canada, she now resides in California.

WHAT IS THIS SECOND PART ABOUT?

I’m an outcast and a loner, named for death itself. Fate wasn’t supposed to have plans for me.

But then she came back—the girl I once kissed in a thorn-covered chapel in the woods. She came back, and I could no more resist her than I could pry out my own heart. And by some trick of fate, she wants me as much as I want her. The only problem? She also wants the man who owns Thornchapel, Auden Guest.

And so do I.

Eight years ago, I did something to Auden, something terrible. He hurt me back the only way he knew how, and so here we are: our hatred seasoned with pain and my loneliness seasoned with longing. The only thing we can agree on is Proserpina Markham, and she wants us to find a way to be together—all three of us.

If Auden wants to earn her as his submissive, then he has to earn me as well.

But with the discovery of bones behind the altar and the carnal revel of Beltane fast approaching, it’s becoming clear that Thornchapel’s secrets are much deeper and older than any of us could have ever guessed. And no matter how bright and merry a feast of sparks may be, it’s always followed by ashes.

And darkness.
