Passion 
by Cali MacKay
Release Date: March 2nd 2016 by Daeron Press
Series: The Billionaire's Seduction #1 Pages: 202
Genres: Romance, Contemporary


Although this book is part of a series, it can be read as a stand alone novel. From New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author, Cali MacKay... Marshall should be riding high as the CEO of his own successful company. Instead, he's in the middle of a nasty divorce as he tries to rid himself of his cheating and lying wife, while trying to track down a mole in his company.

What he needs is a distraction, so when Harper Jones walks into his office with improvements she'd like to make to one of their products, Marshall knows that the brilliant and gorgeous engineer is exactly what he needs to take his mind off his problems.

Harper's heard the gossip about her boss, and the last thing she wants is to get sucked into the middle of a nasty divorce-especially when rumor has it that Marshall's ex may be carrying his baby. When Marshall sets her in his sights, Harper finds him far too difficult to resist, with his charming good looks and sexy smarts, but with her heart and career on the line, and a mole pointing the finger in her direction, will she risk it all to find happiness or simply walk away?

Resisting the Bad Boy 
by Violet Duke
Release Date: June 22nd 2015
Series: Can't Resist #1
Pages: 218
Genres: Romance, Contemporary


The book that started it all. Book #1 of the Sullivan Brothers "Nice Girl" trilogy, the acclaimed three-book serial that began the New York Times, USA Today, and worldwide bestselling CAN'T RESIST series... 

Abby Bartlett is the quintessential nice girl. Between teaching, volunteering, completing her PhD, and helping her best friend raise his daughter, Abby never gets the chance to be anything but nice. That is, until the all-wrong-for-her man she's only ever known from afar starts daring her to simply take that chance for herself. His sage advice? Try something wild and fast.

Preferably him. 

An unbridled, hotshot attorney with a not-so-little black book, Connor Sullivan has earned himself quite the bad boy reputation. But in his defense, he's a very conscientious one. He knows far too well that sometimes in life, love isn't enough...or worse, not even a factor at all. To avoid that misery--and repel the drama--Connor always makes his one and only rule crystal clear right from the start. Absolutely nothing more than a month. 

Turns out, a whole lot can happen in one month. 

Note: This is NOT a standalone. This is the first book in a three-book serial.

Happy Reading!  :)

✯BLOG TOUR:✯ Jackson's Trust by Violet Duke {EXCERPT + GIVEAWAY!}





Jackson's Trust by Violet Duke

Release Date: March 8th 2016 by Loveswept
Pages: 315
Genres: Romance, Contemporary

New York Times bestselling author Violet Duke kicks off her fun and sexy new Fourth Down series with a heartwarming friends-to-lovers romance between a no-strings-attached sports analyst and the hottest damn tomboy he’s ever met.

It’s no secret that sports analyst Jackson Gray doesn’t do relationships. What is a secret, however, is the reason why. Jackson’s life is . . . complicated. And it doesn’t help that his current hands-off “friendship” is with the cute-as-hell new sideline reporter he’s assigned to train. Turns out, not only is the woman damn sweet, she also knows as much about football as he does. Like it or not though, Jackson has to remind himself that sex is the only thing he has to offer . . . until now.

Leila Hart’s fast-growing friendship with Jackson is something she’d never risk, no matter how unbelievably seductive the reward. Becoming an NFL sportscaster has always been the goal, and thanks to Jackson’s fierce support and mentoring, it all finally seems within reach. Problem is, a girl can only take so much of that sexy-as-sin voice whispering dirty, filthy football stats in her ear before she loses all self-control. A workplace romance with Jackson is a disaster waiting to happen, especially for someone with big dreams . . . and secrets of her own.



{EXCERPT}

“You going to stand there and hover outside my door all day, sunshine?”

Leila gasped. Embarrassed about being caught, but too curious about what she’d just eavesdropped on not to find out the story behind it, she stepped into the office and sank down in the chair in front of him.

He had that sexy backside-casually-resting-against-the-edge-of-the-desk stance as he muted his comm and unhooked his earpiece the way she imagined Clark Kent nonchalantly slid his glasses back on after stopping a speeding bullet.

Did the man do anything un-sexily?

“You just talked Steve through his entire segment.”

Jackson shrugged. “The guy’s been trying to quit smoking ever since he lost his uncle to lung cancer. So he’s been a little on edge. I know the bosses have been talking to him about his contract, and expressing some concerns.” His expression steeled stubbornly. “He’s a good anchor. I didn’t want to see him lose his job just because he was trying to save his own life.”

“And you didn’t do this down in the production booth because . . . ?” She didn’t really have to ask. She just wanted to hear him say it.

Another half-shrug. “It didn’t need to be broadcasted. We all have rough times.”

Leila slowly shook her head in wonder. “Seriously, Jackson, you’re just a prince among men.” Not wanting to sound like a gushing fangirl, she added lightly, “I want to be just like you when I grow up.”

His hazel eyes flickered in amused pleasure over the compliment, before they dropped down to her lips like they did more frequently than she imagined he knew. She immediately kept talking, mostly to avoid licking her lips, which were—per usual during one of Jackson’s gazes— tingling as if he’d just kissed her senseless. “By the way, how did you know I was standing out- side your office just now?”

He remained silent for a beat until his eyes left her lips to meet hers again. “You always smell like strawberries.”

The quiet sentence sounded like a confession, uttered as a benediction. But the blast of heat exploding in his gaze shortly after morphed it into something so much more.

This time his gaze was hot, hungry, and knowingly fixed on her mouth as she bit her lower lip to stem the gasp she couldn’t hold back.

His voice was a gravelly rumble. “That’s how I always know when you’re nearby, sun- shine.”

✯ON SALE✯: Finding the Right Girl by Violet Duke {EXCERPT}





Finding the Right Girl by Violet Duke

Release Date: June 22nd 2015
Series: Can't Resist #4
Pages: 264
Genres: Romance, Contemporary

"One of the best romances I've read this year!" -- New York Times Bestselling Author J.S. Scott

The Other Sullivan Brother's Happily Ever After...
The standalone follow-up novel (no cliffhanger) to the Sullivan Brothers "Nice Girl" serial trilogy that began the acclaimed New York Times, USA Today, and worldwide bestselling CAN'T RESIST series 

Brian Sullivan has been in love twice in his lifetime. He lost his first love to early-onset Huntington's, and he lost the other more recently...to his brother. And somehow, his heart has managed to heal itself after both. Amazingly, without therapy. That doesn't mean Brian hasn't gotten more wary along the way, however. In fact, he's been thinking lately that maybe his brother's now retired nothing-but-flings rule isn't such a bad idea. Unfortunately, being the nice guy poster boy and all, he isn't exactly versed in the fine art of flings. So he looks to the outrageously 'unique,' provokingly button-pushing Tessa Daniels for a crash course. 

There's absolutely no way he's falling in love with this one...right? 

Tessa has no idea what she was thinking telling Brian that she was some sort of fling expert. She's never been flung before and she sure as heck doesn't know where or how to begin flinging a guy like Brian. It was a temporary lapse in sanity, really--no doubt because of the can't-help-but-fall-for-him brain fuzz that hits her whenever he's around. Not only does the man have her being more herself than she's ever been in her life, but he's the only person she knows who seems to have as many demons and skeletons in the closet as she does. What's more, he's got her thinking of the one thing she stopped letting herself even hope for years ago. 

A happily ever after.


Purchase: Amazon, iBooks

{EXCERPT}

The door slammed shut behind Brian, cloaking them in darkness.

“You drive me crazy, you know that?”

God, his voice had dropped even lower, to a sexy thunder down under rumble.

“Crazy in a good way or a bad way?” Tessa managed to ask, the lack of light making her eyes laser in on his every movement.

“Both.” He circled slowly around her as if she were a dangerous animal…he was getting ready to pounce on. “You have no filter whatsoever. Not with what you do or say, and especially not with how you react.”

“That’s not my fault. You can just point that finger at yourself, buddy,” she grumbled back before snapping her mouth shut.

Alright, so maybe he was right about the filter thing.

“What?”

Man, if looks could strip. She’d never felt this naked before, this out of control. Inwardly, she sighed. The guy just brought out the uncivilized in her.

Oh well. She came this far—may as well see where this ride ends. “You heard me.” Her chin came up defiantly. “I can’t think when you talk in that ridiculously sexy voice. Or when your biceps suddenly double in size in the middle of even the simplest of tasks, like lifting a coffee mug. And don’t get me started on your eyes. My god, I almost walked into a wall the last time you smiled and your eyes went from that soft ocean blue to deep turquoise. I mean who does that?!”

It was like she just couldn’t stop talking.

When he came to a standstill and stared at her like she’d lost her mind, she huffed, “It’s simply not reasonable to expect a girl to have a filter with all that steamy-eyed, bicep-bulging, talking-like-a-wet-dream-voice-over madness going on!”

Silence.

Huh, so where might one buy one of these filters, she wondered.

With a quiet curse, he stomped toward her and picked her up by the waist, not even pausing in his stride as he kept right on walking to the bed. Well, if he going to take her for a ride…

She speared her hands into his thick, tousled waves and nearly purred with pleasure.

“Stop being so damn open,” he rasped, sounding like a man about ready to do the unimaginable, his lips a whisper away from hers.
