Genre: Contemporary Romance
Playboy
Synopsis:
A brand new contemporary romance from New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author Katy Evans.
It started as a game.
We flirted. We played. Most importantly—we won.
Then I discovered who he was: Gambler. Famous playboy. Silver-eyed player who never plays to lose...
And my best friend’s soon-to-be brother in law, Cullen Carmichael.
He needed a good luck charm, I needed a distraction.
So we made a gamble and set off for Vegas—but pretty soon—I was in too deep.
My heart, soul, and body weren't supposed to be part of the deal.
But somewhere between big wins and long nights, my house of cards started to tumble.
What was this devil with those piercing eyes doing to me?
I’d given up on love, but the wicked, all-in Cullen Carmichael was upping the ante and wouldn’t stop until he’d won it all.

Book Review: The King's Innocent Bride by Alexa Riley

39920667

Kate was forced to live with her uncle when she was little and was kept locked away. Then one night she found out her uncle was going to use her as collateral in a bet, and she knew she had to break free. But when she did, she never imagined she’d run straight into trouble with the king. 

James is ruler of all that’s around him, and he has to keep the peace in his kingdom. When a trespasser is brought before him, he isn’t prepared for what happens next. He’s ready to stake his claim and take what he wants. He’s the king, after all. 














Insta-love Royal style! Another insta-love pick-me-up by Alexa Riley. I love these short, sexy and sweet novellas. The King's Innocent Bride fulfilled my need for a quickie. 

After Kate's grandmother passed away, she moved in with her evil uncle. When Kate turned eighteen she knew it was time to run. Her uncle was up to some dubious dealings in which her name was included. So Kate ran with no real plans.  Her uncle was hot on her trail when they were captured for trespassing on royal land. 

When Kate and her uncle are brought in front of the king, sparks fly! I enjoyed James and Kate's sweet and sexy story. 4Stars

Book Review: Vicious by LJ Shen

30839185

Emilia

They say love and hate are the same feelings experienced under different circumstances, and it’s true.The man who comes to me in my dreams also haunts me in my nightmares. He is a brilliant lawyer. A skilled criminal. A beautiful liar. A bully and a savior, a monster and a lover.

Ten years ago, he made me run away from the small town where we lived. Now, he came for me in New York, and he isn’t leaving until he takes me with him.

Vicious

She is a starving artist. Pretty and evasive like cherry blossom. Ten years ago, she barged into my life unannounced and turned everything upside down. She paid the price.

Emilia LeBlanc is completely off-limits, my best friend’s ex-girlfriend. The woman who knows my darkest secret, and the daughter of the cheap Help we hired to take care of our estate. That should deter me from chasing her, but it doesn’t. So she hates me. Big fucking deal. She better get used to me.




Vicious, oh fuckin Vicious. This story! Oh man! Vicious is a second chance love story that is painfully good. I listened to Vicious any spare moment I had. Every twist, every turn, the past, the present, gah! There is so much Vicious. He rightfully earned his name.

Emilia, aka Help, had been chased out of Todo Santos by Vicious. It's ten years later when he finds her again in NY. Emilia had just lost one of jobs as Vicious steps in with a job offer as his PA.

Baron Spencer, Vicious, is a complex character. His past has made him, cold, ruthless. He's taken it out everything and everyone. He's so close to avenging his mother's death, he recruits Emilia. The woman he had wronged and now he can't let go.

This story is a brooding heartache. I loved it! I listened/read this series in reverse. Vicious is my favorite of the bunch. The audios are excellent. I highly recommend this series on Audio. (I did not listen to the audio of Bane) 5 Stars

Book Review: Midnight Blue by L.J. Shen

36376514

It should have been easy.
I needed the money. He needed a babysitter to keep him from snorting himself to death.
I was cherry-picked especially for him. Responsible. Optimistic. Warm. Innocent.
The worst part is that I should have known better.
Alex Winslow. British rock star. Serial heartbreaker. Casanova with whiskey eyes.
“Don’t get near the devil in a leather jacket. He’ll chew you up and spit you out.”
Guess what? I didn’t listen.
I signed the contract.
World tour. Three months. Four Continents. One hundred shows.
My name is Indigo Bellamy, and I sold my soul to a tattooed god.
Problem was, my soul wasn’t enough for Alex Winslow. He ended up taking my body, too.
Then he took my heart.
Then he took my all.






This book has All The Feels. Midnight Blue is an intense love story of a damaged rocker and his muse. The friction, the pain and the tragic heartbreak destroyed me.  L.J. Shen knows how to crawl under my skin and weave her words right through my heart. 

British singer Alex Winslow is out of rehab and heading on a three month tour to revitalize his career after his last album bombed. Indigo (Indie) Bellamy has been hired to babysit Alex. Her job is to keep him away from alcohol and drugs, keep him healthy and alive for three months. It's a huge challenge but Indie needs the money.  Her family needs money.  Indie's brother dropped out of college when their parents were killed. Now he's struggling to find work  and to stay sober.  His son needs tubes for his ears. Indie can't afford to walk away no matter heartbreak may be on the horizon.

Alex does not want a babysitter.  He's managed to scare away his previous babysitters but Indie is much more of a challenge. She has no problem speaking her mind. 

"My Alex. My little prince. My fallen star in the dark, dark skies." 

Alex is self-destructive. He's an addict and feels undeserving.  He's lost his girlfriend to his ex-friend and he wants her back. When we first meet Alex, he appears selfish, self-centered and egotistical.  As the story progressives we get to meet the real Alex, broken and alone.  He struggles with his addiction, moving from drugs and alcohol to Indie. Indie keeps him sober and alive.  More alive than he's ever felt. 

Alex and Indie's relationship is tumultuous.  Indie sticks out the worst to discover there is so much more to Alex. He's a wounded soul. Alex finds his muse in Indie. The angst revs up when a twist is revealed and my world stopped. I swear this book sent me spinning. 

I love the tears I shed for Midnight Blue. The story pulls on your heartstrings. It's worth the ride. 5 Stars

Weston King knows how to play. But wild nights and owning an extensive collection of women's panties don't carry the thrill they once did, so when his business partner Donovan suggests an outrageous plan to allow them to take over their competition, Wes takes him up on the offer. The crazy idea? Marry the competitor.

Elizabeth Dyson, the bride-to-be in question, is on board with the plan. She wants access to her trust fund and can only get it once she marries. Each has something the other wants - all they have to do is pretend to like each other well enough to tie the knot.

Only trouble is, playing fiancé to Elizabeth isn't quite that simple. Wes finds her sexy and brilliant...and soon wishes their engagement wasn't fake at all. Not that he'd ever tell her that.

But a lover boy like Wes can only stand an empty bed for so long...and even the best of players has to put down his cards eventually.




I could not wait for Weston and Elizabeth's story. There was something about Weston King that hijacked my attention in the Dirty Duet. True to form, Weston is dirty sexy player until his player card is revoked. 

Elizabeth Dyson needs a husband before her future inheritance of Dyson Media is destroyed, Donovan Kincaid needs Dyson Media to help fulfill his dream of expanding his company overseas. Weston King finds himself swiftly selected as the fake-groom-to-be. Sounds crazy? Not when business is involved.

Weston and Elizabeth are like oil and water. They got off on the wrong foot and were practically at each other's throats. Their sexual tension is also off the charts, if only they can move past their insecurities.

I hadn't expected the ending. Gah! I should have known better. I enjoyed Wes and Elizabeth's chemistry. However there was a lot of bickering at the beginning that may have been fake-relationship-ending-hurtful. 4 Stars

Release Blitz: FOUR DAY FLING by Emma Hart

FOURDAYFLING-banner1live.jpg

Four Day Fling, an all-new hilarious and romantic standalone from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Emma Hart is LIVE!

FOURDAYFLING3.jpg

Imagine 
this.
You’re ready to leave after a one-night stand, and you’re figuring out how to—shock horror—leave your number and ask him to be your fake boyfriend for your sister’s wedding this weekend.
When he wakes up.
Well, that happened to me. And over coffee and omelets, I found myself a date.
Which was how I ended up arriving at the wedding with a guy I knew nothing about.
I didn’t know his last name, or how we met, or how long we’d been dating. I didn’t know where he grew up, what he’d majored in in college, or how many siblings he had.
I sure as hell didn’t know he was Adam Winters, hotshot hockey player, and not only my father’s favorite player, but my little nephew’s freakin’ idol.
Which means I’m in trouble. Big, big trouble.
My mother is suspicious, my sister is bridezilla on crack, and my grandpa will tell anyone who’ll listen about his time in Amsterdam’s Red Light District.
Four days.
I have to keep this up for four days, and then Adam and I can return to our regular lives, where we don’t have sex whenever we’re alone, and my family aren’t interrogating him over his intentions with me.
At least, that’s the plan.
And we all know what happens to those.

Release Day Blitz: The Naked Truth by Vi Keeland

TNT_Title_Black

A Standalone Second Chance Romance Novel
By: #1 NY Times Best Selling Author, Vi Keeland
TNT_FrontCover with black edge
RELEASE DATE: Monday, July 23, 2018


Synopsis:

It was just a typical Monday.

Until the big boss asked me to make the pitch for a prospective new client.

After two years on shaky ground at work because of my screw up, an opportunity to impress the senior partners was just what I needed.


Or so I thought…

Until I walked into the conference room and collided with the man I was supposed to pitch.

My coffee spilled, my files tumbled to the ground, and I almost lost my balance.

And that was the good part of my day.

Because the gorgeous man crouched down and looking at me like he wanted to eat me alive, was none other than my ex, Gray Westbrook.

A man who I’d only just begun to move on from.

A man who my heart despised—yet my body obviously still had other ideas about.

A man who was as charismatic and confident as he was sexy.

Somehow, I managed to make it through my presentation ignoring his intense stare.

Although it was impossible to ignore all the dirty things he whispered into my ear right after I was done.

But there was no way I was giving him another chance, especially now that he was a client…was there?

My 2018 favorite list has grown! The Naked Truth is a heartfelt second-chance journey that had me from the get go. I devoured this book. I loved it so much, I read it twice. The characters crawled under my skin and into my heart. This is why I read!

Layla Hutton is an attorney with a past. A past that included completing community service at a prison where she met a man. 

Gray Westbrook completed his three years prison stink for insider trading and has one person on his mind, Layla Hutton. He wants to correct a misunderstanding that occurred while she was visiting him in prison in hopes of winning her back. 

Gray's truth hurts from the beginning but explodes with a game changing revelation. Layla's struggles with her place in Gray's life because of her mother's past decisions. The story evokes a whirlwind of emotions. I fell head over heals for Gray. He's alpha with a huge heart. His prison time has taught him the truth about life and happiness. The epilogue left me a sobbing, happy mess.  5 Stars

She’s been known to turn up the angst like cranking up the heat in the dead of winter.

As a side note, Blaufeld, also a long-time blogger and an advocate of woman-run anything, is fearless about sharing her opinion. She captured the ears of stay-at-home and working moms on her blog, BacknGrooveMom, chronicling her adventures in parenting tweens and running a business, often at the same time. To her, work/life/family balance is an urban legend, but she does her best.

Rachel has also blogged for The Huffington Post and Modern Mom. Most recently, her insights can be found in USA TODAY, where she shares conversations at “In Bed with a Romance Author” and reading recommendations over at “Happy Ever After.”

Rachel lives around the corner from her childhood home in Pennsylvania with her family and two beagles. Her obsessions include running, coffee, basketball, icing-filled doughnuts, antiheroes, and mighty fine epilogues.

When she isn’t writing, she can be found courtside, tweeting about hoops as her son plays, or walking around the house wearing earplugs while her other son, the drummer, bangs away.

ALBLD-SBPRBANNER-ReleaseBlitz.jpg

A Little Bit Like Desire, an all-new STANDALONE contemporary MM romance from USA Today bestselling author Brooke Blaine is LIVE!

ALBLD-PRINT-FOR-WEB.jpg

What if you had everything in the world you wanted...except the man you never knew you needed?
Shaw Jennings, the seductive, enigmatic owner of Body Electric Tattoo works hard and plays even 
harder. He’s built a life he’s proud of, and though that doesn’t include a significant other, he’s got plenty of sexy men to keep his bed warm at night. None of them have ever made Shaw sit up and take notice for long, though. But that all changes when a famous rock star walks through his door.
Trent Knox had the world in the palm of his hand as the lead singer of TBD, one of the biggest rock bands in history…until the day he walked away. A getaway to South Haven Island seems like the perfect place for Trent to find himself again and reignite his passion for music. But what he never expects is to find his muse in a six-five, tatted-up badass whose sinful smile he can’t get out of his mind.
The only problem? Trent’s a notorious womanizer, and Shaw isn’t interested in being someone’s experiment—muse or otherwise. But in a town as small as this one, Shaw is finding it more and more difficult to keep the persistent rocker at arm’s length.
As the tension between them builds, maybe it’s time to finally give in and get carried away with something a little bit like...desire.

Excerpt:
I press the numbers on my phone with shaky fingers, bringing the receiver up to my ear and release a deep breath.

He picks up after one ring. “I thought we were friends? Having your assistant call my assistant. Tsk. Tsk, Ms. Crowley.”

Aggravation fuses together every cell in my body until I become an impenetrable wall.

“First, we are not friends. Second, I would prefer to talk to you via our office phones.”

There’s a brief second of silence where he’s probably realizing I called him through my office line.

“Ahh… so now you have my number and I don’t have yours? That seems terribly unfair.”

“I didn’t realize you cared about fairness?” I lean back in my chair and cross my legs.

“You don’t know that much about me. It’s not like you know me intimately.” He lowers his voice on the last word and drags it out.

I roll my eyes, happy we’re not face-to-face so he can’t see the flush in my cheeks.

“You may have witnessed how I own the courtroom, but you know nothing about my private life. For instance, you don’t know if I like thrillers or comedies. Whether I prefer sorbet to ice cream or if I wear boxers or briefs.”

“I don’t need to know those things,” I say with frustration, shutting my eyes to rid the vision from my head of him in tight black boxer briefs—since that’s my preference.

“You want to know though.” A sexual innuendo pours out of his mouth and hits its mark between my thighs.

“There you go making assumptions about my wants.” I pick up my pen, shuffling through paperwork. Anything to distract me from this ache.

“I not only know what you want, I know what you need, Ms. Crowley.”

I smack my hand down on my desk. “Okay Rico Suave, let’s talk about this venue you have access to and keep the discussion of undergarments for another time.”

A beeping sound interrupts us.

“Hold all my calls please, Kristen.” Then nothing for a moment. “Sorry about that but you know how busy I am.”

“Yes, I’m sure destroying people’s lives takes a lot of time. So let’s stop the sexual innuendos and get down to business.”

“Let’s meet tonight. You frequent Torrio’s. I frequent Torrio’s. Let’s do something crazy and have a drink together.”

“I don’t need a drink at Torrio’s, Mr. Baldwin, I need a venue to house my gala. Now tell me your terms and I want the details of this venue you insist you can secure. I refuse to meet you until you supply me with that information.” I uncross my legs and tap my foot on the floor under me.

“So demanding. I like it.” I can hear him shuffling papers in the background. “I’ll have my assistant message your assistant with all the details of the venue. I’m sure it will be of your liking. Then we’ll meet tonight at Torrio’s. Seven sharp. Consider it our own personal happy hour.”

“I’m not committing to anything until I see the venue.”

“Then I’ll see you at seven.” The phone clicks and I stare at the receiver in my hand.

“Prick,” I murmur.

A knock sounds on my door.

About Piper Rayne:
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.
