Fancy a Royal Rogue?

Hi, book buddies ☺ It is always a good time to rub elbows, or something else, with royalty. Right? 

The Royal Rogue, 

a full-length contemporary standalone romance from New York Times bestselling author Karina Halle is Live!

Every family has a black sheep – even the royal ones.

In the royal family of Denmark, that black sheep is me. To the public I’m known as Princess Stella, but I feel anything but royal. As a single mom, divorcee, social outcast, and forever forgotten about under the magnetism and power of my older brother, King Aksel, I’m used to being an outlier. Though it doesn’t matter when my whip-smart nine-year old daughter, Anya, is my whole world anyway.

Then that world of mine gets turned upside down.

I meet Prince Orlando of Monaco, whom the media has dubbed “The Royal Rogue” for many good reasons. I can’t stand that arrogant smirk on his face, the lewd words that leave his lips – pretty much everything about him. I especially can’t stand how infuriatingly sexy he is and how he manages to get under my skin like no one else.

It’s been a long time since a man could make me feel that way, so you can’t really blame me for throwing my willpower out the window and succumbing to a brief but torrid affair with him, full of hot, dirty sex and nothing else.

Until that nothing else turns into something more, in the form of a big surprise.

I thought I got that wicked royal rogue out of my system but there’s a link between us now that neither of us can ignore.

A baby.

I say It's Not Over

Hi, book buddies. I've never seen a cover like this one. It's moving, isn't it? :-) IT'S NOT OVER is released today, and I think I'm going to try it.

It's Not Over

Authors: Kaylee Ryan & Lacey Black

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: July 23, 2019

Gwen

Lately, life definitely isn’t how I envisioned it. I had it all. The house, the job, the husband. Until one day, I didn’t. I don’t know when exactly things started to change between us, only that it did, and in a big way. So much so, I found myself standing before a judge and signing off on the end of my marriage. To the only man, I’ve ever loved.

Now, he’s back, fighting, and ready to prove to me that we made a mistake, that our love is worth giving this another chance. I’m not sure if he’s right, but I know what my heart wants, and it wants him. My ex-husband.


Harrison

Why is it that you don’t know the depths of your mistakes until you’ve already made them? I knew signing those papers was a bad idea, but I thought that’s what she wanted. The minute we stepped foot out of that courtroom, it hit me. She’s no longer mine.

That’s when I also realized, that I would do anything to change the past. I have so many regrets. Not her. I could never regret her, but how we ended. We never should have ended. I’m in for the battle of my life to convince her to give us another shot. I have a plan, one that will prove to her that, it’s not over.

Ah, second chances... :-D

You want a man who fights for you

Hi, book buddies :-) I love romance novels that are happy and witty, and LAYLA HAGEN works wonders with both traits. The Connors family series has a new couple falling in love. Check it out and enjoy it!

FIGHTING FOR YOU 

by 

Layla Hagen 

MY OPINION

A delicious read to indulge in.

This is the kind of romance that happens at a natural pace. No hate or offensive banter like in enemies-to-lovers stories. This is the way you'd choose to fall in love. Inevitably and pleasurably ;-)

The author manages to add a fresh spin to Brooke and Jace's relationship, as this is part of an ongoing series about different couples, while maintaining the lovely traits of humour, warmth and flirty hotness.

I admit to reading this in one sitting. And I loved every page, every sinful smile from Jace, and every feeling that kept growing between the two main characters. I also cherished this couple. He's very sweet and utterly gorgeous. All in from the start, he pushes a little bit and tempts a very job-aware woman who's been burned before both professionally and personally. That plays a very interesting and intense twist at the end which was smartly hinted at throughout the plot. 

It has a definitive sport background as he's a soccer team player and she works to earn the team sponsorships, but it was never overwhelming or boring. It really blended in well with the fun and passionate interacions between the haracters. I really fell for Jace's supportive side. He completely reflects the title of the novel as he fights for Brooke with all his heart. He fights to have her for himself, but also to defend her and commend her at work. He sees her value on all accounts. That was so good.

As always, the Connors are fantastic when they gather as a family. I truly enjoyed this book and I never plan to stop reading any of this author's books. They always warm my heart and tickle my romantic and funny sides.

Favourite Quote: 

I loved that she enjoyed the things in my life that I valued.

About FIGHTING FOR YOU by Layla Hagen – available June 18th

Jace Connor has received many titles in his career, and enjoyed them all.

Although, he's working on changing the last one. There's more to Jace

than the media portrays—a man who loves his tight-knit family, being his

nieces' and nephews' favorite uncle. 

The reformed party-boy is now steering clear of anything that could

blemish his reputation. But when the coach's gorgeous daughter is hired

on as the team's new sponsorship manager,  keeping on the straight and

narrow becomes impossible. Her warm and bubbly personality coupled

with her sexy-as-sin body makes her irresistible. 

Brooke Derringer wants to prove to everyone that she wasn't hired due to

her personal connections. She's determined to keep things strictly

business and focus only on work. She learned the hard way that the office

isn't the place to make friends.

But a certain smoking hot--and bossy--soccer player is determined to

change her mind. Surprising her with clandestine dinners and late-night

gym sessions, Jace is inescapable. 

For the first time in his life, Jace wants more. He wants the whole package

… with the one woman he can't have. But Jace doesn't let that deter him.

He's determined to fight for her. And he will.

One Man is more than enough

Hi, book buddies :-) And... I'm back! :-D You have to know by now that I am a huge fan of Lisa Renee Jones, so I had to share her new release. It's a new trilogy! I couldn't be any happier.

MY OPINION

So mysterious! I was drawn to the secretive and slightly threatening atmosphere of this novel, the first in a trilogy that promises to be mind-grabbing.

Like Romeo and Juliet, the main characters are in the middle of a feud between two powerful families with piling secrets.

I love a man with a hidden agenda that conflicts with his feelings for the woman he's supposed, to despise. And I love a woman torn by her emotions but strong enough to brave the storm raging around her.

Jax and Emma are those people.

It seems that he's on a steep path to revenge. I felt so compelled to know his motives, his pain. That's something that actually bonds him with Emma, a she's grieving for her father who had more skeletons in his closet than a mafia boss. How intriguing!

While this star-crossed lovers engage in an intense and deeply sensual affair, the circumstances that surround his family's tragedy and her family's involvement keep getting darker and more enigmatic.

I really enjoyed the smystery that slowly unravels into perplexing associations between their brothers,  and the scorching-hot intimacy they have. I'm very keen on the plot, and also very teased due to that sharp cliffhanger with such a Jane Eyre's touch to it ;-)

Favourite Quotes:

Emotions cut you more than the person who created them.

There is just death and life and a need to live in the moment, to survive what is gone.

The first book in the dangerously sexy Naked Trilogy by New York Times bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones One man can change everything. 

That man can touch you and you tremble all over. That man can wake you up and allow you to breathe when life leaves you unable to catch your breath. For me that ONE MAN is Jax North. He's handsome, brutally so, and wealthy, money and power easily at his fingertips. He's dark, and yet, he can make me smile with a single look or word. He's a force when he walks into a room. Our first encounter is intense, overwhelmingly intense. I go with it. I go with him and how can I not?

 He's that ONE MAN for me and what a ride it is. But there are things about me that he doesn't know, he can't know, so I say goodbye. Only you don't say goodbye to a man like Jax if he doesn't want you to. I've challenged him without trying. He wants me. I don't want to want him, and yet, I crave him. He tears me down, my resistance, my walls. But those walls protect me. They seal my secrets inside. And I forget that being alone is safe. I forget that there are reasons I can’t be with Jax North. I forget that once he knows, everything will change. Because I need him. ​Because he's my ONE MAN.

He holds me fast and pulls me to him, our legs colliding, the hard lines of his body hugging mine. My gaze jerks to his, the night darkening his blue eyes, the streetlight catching flecks of amber in his intense stare. “Run with me, not away from me.” “I don’t even know you.” “Then change that. I’m not asking you to marry me. I’m asking you to get to know me the way I want to know you.” Somehow, this statement manages to be the perfect mix of alpha male and vulnerability. “Come with me.” “Where?” I whisper, and I can feel my body swaying toward his. His hand slides under my hair, a warm strong hand, his thumb stretching to my jaw, tilting my face to his. His blue eyes still catching amber gold in the streetlights, a dominance in their depths that shouldn’t arouse me, but there’s no fighting my reaction to this man, or to who I am deep down inside. And I am the woman who is drawn to a man like Jax. Perhaps to a man too like York. “I promised you a castle,” he says, “but I’ll settle for anywhere where I can do this.” His mouth closes down on mine, his tongue pressing past my lips, a quick tease that I still manage to feel in every part of me. Goosebumps lift on my skin and his mouth lingers above mine, a hot breath promising more before he strokes deep. And then, he’s kissing me, a wicked, passionate kiss that is pure heat, greedy even, fierce. Alluring. Passionate. Addictive. And then gone, his mouth is gone, and I’m panting as he says, “Say yes and I’ll take you anywhere you want to go.” Every warning that York stirred in me earlier fades away with the taste of this man on my lips, every warning is immediately reasoned away. This is one night and then Jax is gone. This is an escape. Death and grief allow me permission to need this. That damn journal gives me permission to need him. I’m going to do this. “I want off this street corner,” I say. “I want to leave. I want to leave with you.” His eyes warm, approval and satisfaction in their depths that somehow isn’t arrogant. He laces his fingers with mine and walks backward, guiding me to the door of the SUV. And then he does something unexpected. He steps aside and motions me toward the back doors, a silent invitation to enter or walk away, to make my own decision. I climb inside, letting the soft leather absorb my body, a willing victim, as he’d wanted.

What you need is a Sexy Filthy Boss

Hi, book buddies :-) I hope you're having a good day. Mine is going ok, but better thanks to another very entertaining book. Are you ready for a Sexy Filthy Boss? :-D

WHAT IS THIS BEAUTY ABOUT?

He’s the sexy alpha male in the corner office who goes through assistants faster than free donuts in the breakroom.

I’m the assistant who was chosen to cover for his last fire.

The owner of the company is clear—hook the biggest client in our firm’s history and there’s a partnership for him and a promotion for me. Stipulation—we do it together.

It doesn’t take a tarot card-reading psychic to figure out where our story is headed… late nights, trips out of town, and more than a few awkward moments filled with sexual tension.

No worries though. I pride myself on my willpower. I can totally ignore his sexy grin, his rock-hard body and his dreamy brown eyes. I will not become the woman other women hate.

But it turns out that Enzo Mancini has a lot of layers and if I don’t stop peeling, I’m going to lose everything, including my dignity.

The title speaks for itself! 

Don’t miss this sexy OFFICE ROMANCE romantic comedy coming June 11th!

MY OPINION

What a good read. Office romance with a good plot and fantastic chemistry. 

The story is light rom-com with a fluid narration, natural humour and an agile pace thanks to the double POV which I really dig.

What starts as a war of gender and work status becomes a fun, sensual relationship where both characters get to know each other and surprisingly find out good things that change their minds about other personal issues. Such as female empowerment at work, which was quite interesting to see how it affected the all-powerful Enzo and his views. 

I liked the easy banter among the three Mancini brothers, they're funny together. They made me laugh, also sometimes cringe at their manly craziness, and made me wish they had their own stories. 

Despite his faults,  Enzo turns out to be a reformed bachelor to root for. I loved his inner dialogue. 

I absolutely adored the ad campaigns at work as the frame for both their falling in love and the conflict. The dialogues are perky, the characters feel real and sweet and endearingly flawed. With no effort, I started to befriend them while they challenged each other with talent, wit and passion. 

It's a very entertaining read, full of funny moments, adorable families, an engaging work environment and some steamy times to colour it all. 

AN EXCERPT TO ENJOY

“Please. Come on, Mr. Mancini.”

Even I notice how weird that sounds coming from her mouth now that our working relationship has turned into more of a tenuous friendship. “Enzo.”

“If I call you Enzo, can I pay my share?” She bats her eyes a few times.

I twist my lips, thinking about it. The taxi driver huffs, annoyed that we’re holding him up. “Sure.”

“Please, Enzo?” she says, stressing both words.

The sound of her voice saying my name like that spurs images of her naked on my bed, begging me to f*ck her. Her back arched, her delectable tits prominently on display with her legs spread. I shift in my seat to hide my growing hard-on.

She drops the forty dollars onto my lap and opens the door, leaving before I come back to myself. I lift the forty off my half chub, concocting a plan to get this back to her without her knowing it.

Her voice rings in my head one more time. Please, Enzo?

I might as well admit defeat. Tonight my dreams will be filled with me, Annie Stewart, and the word please.

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.
