“FUN AND SWEET M/M ROMANCE.”

Title: The Bunny and The Billionaire
Genre: M/M Contemporary Romance
NOW AVAILABLE IN AUDIO!

Hardworking Australian nurse Ben Adams inherits a substantial sum and decides to tour Europe. In Monaco, the home of glamour and the idle rich, he meets French billionaire playboy Léo Artois. After getting off on the wrong foot—as happens when one accuses a stranger of being part of the Albanian mafia—their attraction blazes. Léo, born to the top tier of society, has never known limits, and Ben, used to budgeting every cent, finds it difficult to adjust to not only Léo’s world, but also the changes wealth brings to his own life.As they make allowances for each other’s foibles, Ben gradually appreciates the finer things, and Léo widens his perspective. They both know one thing: this is not a typical holiday romance, and they’re not ready to say goodbye.

From Ben and Léo’s
first “official” date, the day after they meet:
“Let’s eat here,” he
said quickly. “I haven’t tried the restaurant yet, but I saw the menu and it
looks good.”
Léo smiled in a way
that made Ben’s stomach feel funny, and in short order they were at the mostly
open-air restaurant on the roof level, greeted effusively by a man who seated
them at what Ben was sure was the best table in the place, shaded yet with an
uninterrupted view of the Mediterranean.
If he hadn’t been so
stupidly nervous, Ben would have soaked it up.
The maître d’hôtel left
them, replaced by an eager waiter who asked what they wanted to drink. Léo shot
Ben a wicked glance, his lips curving, and Ben’s face went hot.
“Sparkling water,” Léo
told the waiter. “Then perhaps wine later.” The man left, and Ben smiled
gratefully at Léo.
“Thank you,” he said.
“And thank you for being so good about last night. I know I made a bit of a
fool of myself.”
“Not at all,” Léo said
gallantly. “You were charming.”
Ben laughed outright.
“I wouldn’t have called it that, but hey, your description sounds better than
mine. Anyway, I drank too much of that incredible champagne, and you were
really nice. So thanks.”
Léo’s expression was
warm and approving. “I’m glad you enjoyed the champagne, and it was my pleasure
to spend the evening with you. We would not be here now otherwise.”
Ben’s face went hot
again, and he buried it in his menu. He felt awkward, even more than usual, and
desperately wanted the loosening effects of alcohol. Maybe he should have
ordered a drink, after all, but he didn’t want Léo to think he was a lush.
Come
on, Ben. You don’t need alcohol to talk to the billionaire playboy son of a
princess.

Louisa Masters started reading romance much earlier than her mother thought she should. While other teenagers were sneaking out of the house, Louisa was sneaking romance novels in and working out how to read them without being discovered. She’s spent most of her life feeling sorry for people who don’t read, convinced that books are the solution to every problem. As an adult, she feeds her addiction in every spare second, only occasionally tearing herself away to do things like answer the phone and pay bills. She spent years trying to build a “sensible” career, working in bookstores, recruitment, resource management, administration, and as a travel agent, before finally conceding defeat and devoting herself to the world of romance novels.
Louisa has a long list of places first discovered in books that she wants to visit, and every so often she overcomes her loathing of jet lag and takes a trip that charges her imagination. She lives in Melbourne, Australia, where she whines about the weather for most of the year while secretly admitting she’ll probably never move.

Blurb
All I wanted was some no-strings attached sex, where small talk wasn’t necessary. There’d be no reminders of laundry that needed to be done and my endless list of responsibilities could be forgotten.


 
Signing up for the Timber dating app was my answer. No wining or dining; just sex. Those were my rules. I never imagined I’d meet champion lumberjack Magnus Andersen, or that he’d be interested in me.
 
We’re from two different worlds. He lives a life of luxury, while I’m barely making ends meet. He’s prime rib and I’m mac and cheese.
 
But the more I get to know him the less those differences seem to matter. He thinks this could work and I just might be crazy enough to believe him.

Conquest by Justine Littleton

“This book was a solid five star read with humor, family drama and some twists that will give you a brain freeze.” ~ Goodreads
Book: Conquest

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Series: The Horsemen Series #2
Cover Designer: RMGraphX
 Here’s the problem with myths and legends; they’re fiction. At one time, they may have been stories of real people, but over the ages, the story was passed from person to person, so what was once fact, becomes the written fables of those long ago. 
This is the true story of Conquest and the five horsemen.
Nicolette “Lettie” Osmond made her dying mother a vow: She would find a way to escape with her brother from the oppressive control of her father and The Order of Decay. Eight years later Lettie finally finds the resources and opportunity, but it means putting her faith in the one group of individuals she has been told since birth to never trust.
Connor “Conquest” Apocalos will do anything to protect his new sister and the happiness Dean has found—even kill his own brother if it comes to it. Hunting for Kayne and running Horsemen Hedge Funds, Connor hires an assistant, never expecting to find the one person fated for him.
Conquest must learn to woo a young woman without his power and is failing spectacularly, but will he still want her when he discovers the truth about Lettie and her connections?

I wear many hats in the book world, but my newest is author. I juggle writing with being a wife, and mother to a family of six, working for Hot Tree Publishing as submissions coordinator, pre-edit beta reading for Hot Tree Editing, and of course, I still admin for Bex ‘n’ Books’ book blog.
Geez, I’m tired just typing all that, but I wouldn’t trade a single moment. Not even for all the Chinese food and cheesecake in the universe.

Title: DRIVE
Author: Jacob Chance
Genre: Sports Romance/Romantic Comedy
Release Date: December 1, 2017

 

Blurb
Kissing a complete stranger shouldn’t be a life altering
experience, but with him it was. One look into his mischievous hazel eyes and
our lips were colliding without a second thought.
Now, months later, not only do I know his name, we’ve also
become friends. Good friends. The kind of friends that kiss and cuddle
together, all night long. The kind of friends that fantasize about being
horizontal or vertical…and very much naked.
I’d never been attracted to the football playing jocks, but
Nick’s different. When he’s not being a professional flirt, he’s undeniably
sweet and funny. For every excuse my mind comes up with to keep my distance, my
body finds two reasons to give him a chance.
Can he make the final drive into my heart or will I keep him
in the friend zone?

RHR RATING: 5*/5
‘I want to date you,kiss you,make you laugh and occasionally annoy you..’ (Nick)

Right from the Prologue,I was hooked! Set at the Engagement Party for Reagan and Noah (from Punched),Carter (Reagan’s older sister) who’s not long out of an engagement,has insecurities about herself as a result of what happened with her ex,always the ‘Good Girl’,deciding she wants something more, shares a pretty hot an heavy kiss with a stranger (as the blurb states)…who turns out to be Nick (who featured in both Penalty and Punched)…a football player,who’s passion for MMA is becoming more of a focus for his future.
Fast forward and they come into contact again,Nick is some character,he was hilarious in both the previous books,but in this he is so much more,and I think he might just be my favorite!
He knew from the start who Carter was,even though she is four years older than him (she’s 26) he is smitten and is on a mission to win her heart.
Along the way, we get not only some laugh out loud moments,there is obvious chemistry between them,and the passion builds slowly, but OMG they are HOT together! There is also some angst thrown in,which almost had me want to throw my kindle ( all I’ll say is TABBY-Nick’s twin sister!!!)We have cameo’s from not only Noah/Reagan but Brady and Harlow(Penalty),and it was great to see where they were at in their relationships,along with other characters previously seen in both books,which in turn,could be potential future story-lines.

I don’t want to say too much more as to the whole story,as you should read it for yourselves,it is easily read as a Standalone,but I loved the connections to the other books I’ve mentioned,and personally,I think that Jacob has created not only a great story,which engages the reader from beginning to end,but the character’s are one’s that I’d love to read more about.

Get ready to be #Nickstracted !!

She’s sweet, pure, and untouched, and she’s about to lose her innocence on camera. To me.

Trust me, I’m no porn star, even if I do have the equipment of one. But when the Moretti crime family comes calling to collect on a debt I owe, they want it in trade.

You see, there’s big money in dirty movies, and the more real, the better. Me? I’m already filthy, damaged goods from my time in Afghanistan.

But then I meet Rose, my “co-star”, and my whole world shatters.

She owes the Moretti’s too, but she’s too good for all of this. Too sweet, too beautiful – too innocent for this shit. And I’ll be damned if I let them steal that away from her.

It’s wrong that she’s here, but it’s also wrong that she wants me to “teach her” things. It’s worse that I want to.

But one taste of her lips, and I’m hooked. One touch of her soft skin, and I know Rose is going to be mine. Not the camera’s. Mine.

The virgin with the debt, the ex-marine with the dick, and a porno for the mob.

Welcome to Vegas, baby.

 

*Please note that while a connected story-line, each of the Dirty Bad Things books are completely standalone stories centered around one couple, with no cliffhangers or spoilers.

 

Dirty, filthy, and oh-so-sweet, with an utterly obsessed alpha hero, explosive insta-love, and enough kindle-melting steam to make you sweat. Get ready to get wrong in the right kind of way. HEA with NO CHEATING!

Single-minded alpha hero, sinfully taboo relationships, and wildly over-the-top scenarios. If you love it extra dirty, extra hot, and extra naughty, this is the place for you!

An Aussie cowboy, his feisty ex, and an unprecedented storm. Jett Wayne’s Christmas becomes complicated.
When Paris loses her job days before Christmas, her world crumbles. She returns to her parents’ home in outback Australia where she plans on eating enough food to fall into a coma and sleep straight until New Year’s. But when she unwittingly bumps into her ex on her way home, old feelings awaken.
Picking up Paris from the airport isn’t on Jett Wayne’s to-do list. Neither is dealing with their history or her cranky mood. Shit happens, like his one mistake that drove them apart. When he sees her again, he remembers the vulnerable girl from his hometown who rode horses bareback, who never backed down from an argument, and who stole his love.
When they find themselves stranded during an unprecedented storm, they’re faced with explosive emotions, secrets, and uncontrollable desires. Will Jett gamble on a second chance before Paris leaves him for good this time?
