THE TRYST, an all-new forbidden romance, by #1 NYT bestselling author Lauren Blakely is coming to KU and audio on April 5th!

What to expect from THE TRYST:

  •  Ex-boyfriend's dad 
  •  Totally forbidden romance
  •  Dirty talking alpha hero 
  •  Single Dad 
  •  Who’s also loyal, devoted and loves to take care of his woman in and our of bed 
  •  A strong, bold, sex positive heroine who goes after what she wants in life 

Some men are just off-limits. Like your ex-boyfriend’s father. 

But when I met the sexy, powerful older man shortly after my business school graduation, he was simply the seductive stranger I wanted to notice me, and he sure did.  

Fast forward a few months later, when my college ex – now a good friend – introduces me to the person he looks up to most…his father. 

The man I spent that one hot night with. 

I should stay far away from the commanding business mogul. But my ex and I are planning a charity fundraiser that involves late nights at his dad’s penthouse in Manhattan. 

Nights where he can’t stop looking at me with desire in his eyes that matches my own.  

I try to resist him, playing the good girl in the city…mostly. 

He’s the perfect gentleman…until he comes knocking on my door and tells me exactly what he wants to do to me.  

And I say yes. 

Stealing nights with him like this is supposed to be wrong, but it feels so right. And when he saves the day to protect his son at the fundraiser, my heart wants him as much as my body does.  

Can we ever be more than just a tryst?

THE TEASE by Lauren Blakely

Every rule-following girl knows some men are just off limits. Like, say, your dad’s best friend. 

I’m a rules girl, so I haven’t even dared to fantasize about the enigmatic, gorgeous man I’ve known for years. 

The man has taken trips with my family. He attended my brother’s wedding with his wife. 

Then she leaves him, and I desperately want to say she never deserved you. 

A good girl wouldn't say that though. And she wouldn’t say please do bad things to me. 

But when I receive an invitation one night to an exclusive, private party that caters to my after dark desires, I find him there, looking at me with sin in his smoldering eyes. 

Time to break all my good girl rules… 

NOTE: This book will likely release in September rather than November!

🔖 REVIEW BLITZ 🔖 Tempting Enemy by M. Robinson



Tempting Enemy by M. Robinson

Release Date: January 31, 2023
Genres: Romance, Contemporary

From Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author M. Robinson comes an
enemies to lovers, forbidden standalone romance.


Look but don’t touch…

She showed up at my bar with a fake ID, I kicked her out. On her 18th birthday, the following week, she showed up again. Except this time, she was demanding a job. Willing to do whatever it took to get it.

Against my better judgment, she got her way, but I’m not going to make it easy on her. Neither are the guys at the bar.

I have two choices: Pretend she’s mine to protect her. Or deal with the consequences when her five older, overprotective brothers find out what their little sister is up to. 

Either way…

It’s going to be hell on me.

Because the enemy is my temptation and like a sinner, I just can’t stay away. 




My Review:

Robinson delivers an enemies-to-lovers romance in Tempting Enemy, the first book in the Beckham Dynasty Series. This forbidden steamy romance has a protective alpha hero and unexpected twists to keep you reading until the very end.

At the beginning of the story we get to meet Haven Beckham, who is about to push her luck by trying to get into a biker bar, The Outlaw. As an early birthday present from her best friend, Cove, Haven got her first fake ID in hopes to experience what her friends has since getting one herself. Being the youngest in her family, Haven is used to being surrounded by her older brothers along with her dad. In their minds she is still a little girl, but her eighteenth birthday is around the corner and Haven is ready to show them that she can be independent. But that soon changes the minute she meets, Hayes, the bar owner. There is something about his commanding presence that captivates her from the start, though he is not happy to see a minor waiting to get into his bar. He fights her at every turn and soon becomes her number one enemy. Determined to come back, Haven waits until she is of age to push her luck once again and this time her heart might end up on the line as well.

As co-owner of a biker bar, The Outlaw, Hayes is livid when he sees a minor trying to get into his bar. He throws her out and demands she stays away until she is of age. But her fiery personality and looks has him wanting to protect her. The Outlaw is no place for someone like her, not when there are criminals coming and going. So he is shocked to see her applying for a job the minute she is old enough and Hayes is determined to show her that she is making the wrong choice. It’s the more time they spend together that Hayes starts to develop feelings for her. Feelings that could end up used against him if his dad finds out. There is so much that Haven doesn’t know, things that could threaten their future if he doesn’t start fighting for the love of his life.

I really enjoyed reading Tempting Enemy, Robinson’s characters are raw and the story will leave you hooked. Hayes is the overprotective hero that thinks of himself as the villain when he meets Haven. She is the only to get through him and that scares him. He’s been through so much already and he doesn’t want to let his guard down when it comes to her, but he makes it his mission to protect her no matter what. On the other hand, Haven is getting close to being an adult and finally being able to do what she promised she would do after graduation. Her only option is to get a job and that happens to be at a biker bar. She never expected to fall for Hayes in the process and they both need to rely on each other in order to get their happily-ever-after. The ending fit them really well, it gives us a glimpse into the the second book in the series. I would recommend checking out this book as well as any others by the author! :)

🔖 REVIEW BLITZ 🔖 Serendipity by Carly Phillips



Serendipity by Carly Phillips 

Release Date: February 3, 2023
Genres: Romance, Contemporary

He’s from the wrong side of the tracks. She lived in the house on the hill.

Now their fortunes have reversed…but their long-ago attraction still burns.


From high school golden girl to wife of a high-powered New York attorney, Faith Harrington lived the dream. Until divorce and her father’s imprisonment for fraud left her with almost nothing. Now she's back in her hometown to redesign her life, and not every face is friendly. Least of all the town rebel, whose memory lingered long after they shared one searing teenage kiss.

Ethan Barron is a bad boy. Was. Was a bad boy. Now a man—a very rich man—he quietly buys the old Harrington mansion to thumb his nose at Serendipity and the people who looked down on him. But until he reconciles with his brothers and builds a life, the victory rings hollow.

Faith had been a rich girl ripe for rebellion, and his shamelessly stolen kiss still burns in his dreams. Only a fool would risk feeding town gossip by asking her to redecorate the house she grew up in. But Ethan never did choose easy. Not when the hard way promises a much sweeter—and hotter—reward.

Note: Serendipity is book one of a previously published series by NYT Bestselling Author Carly Phillips. Contains a tarnished golden girl, a bad boy in search of redemption, a brother whose first order of business is to ticket his big bro’s Jag, and a town that runs on nosiness.

Narrated by Pippa Jayne and Eric Michael Summerer 


My Review:

As the first book in the Serendipity Series, Phillips delivers a second chance romance and new beginnings in Serendipity. This small town romance revolves around two individuals who have come home for start fresh, only to be faced with the past which brings them together at the end.

For Ethan Barron, returning to his childhood home of Serendipity, New York after a decade means that he is ready to face the past. As the owner of a weapons software development company, Ethan has found success doing something that he loves to do. It’s the same success that has brought him wealth and he is ready to put it to good use. By purchasing the most ornate house on the hill, he is showing that someone like him could also own the very same house that was once occupied by the Harringtons. A privileged family who fell from grace and their respected name holds no influence over the town. But no matter how much success Ethan has, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have his brothers back in his life again. While he tries to build a relationship with his siblings, there is a woman Ethan can’t stop thinking about after seeing her outside his house. It’s been a while since he’s seen Faith Harrington and there is something about her that he can’t let go. He is set on winning her back again, only to have life throw him an unexpected twist of events that could change his life forever.

Faith Harrington never expected to go back to her childhood home, especially after the big scandal that changed her life. Her dad took advantage of people and her presence is no longer welcoming in Serendipity. So while she is trying to get the town’s trust back, she is ready to open her interior design business. Little did she know that her teenage crush would end up being her first client, to redecorate her old childhood home that doesn’t belong to her family anymore. At first, Faith is skeptical with Ethan’s proposition, but the more time they spend together the more she starts to see it differently. Faith truly wants to let go of the past and she knows that to do that, she needs to show everyone that she is not her dad. She has had her own obstacles to overcome and maybe a second chance with Ethan might just be what she needs.

I really enjoyed reading Serendipity, it’s evident from the very beginning that both of the characters still have feelings for each other. Yet, they are trying to overcome the past and start fresh in Serendipity. Faith might have grown up in a privileged home, but she quickly learns that she needs to show everyone in town that she can be herself. Her family name has been tainted by the crimes her father committed and she has to find strength to make a new name for herself. On the other hand, Ethan’s goal is to get his family back. After leaving his brother’s behind, they’ve grown to resent him and he is ready to prove that he’s a changed man ready to be there for his family no matter what. It’s clear that family dynamics is the theme in the story and they are able to lean on each other to overcome obstacles coming their way. I would recommend checking out the story as well as any other books by the author!
