Hunter
I didn’t mean to star in a sex tape, okay?
It was just one of those unexplainable things. Like Stonehenge, Police Academy 2, and morning glory clouds.
It just happened.
Now my ball-busting father is sentencing me to six months of celibacy, sobriety, and morbid boredom under the roof of Boston’s nerdiest girl alive, Sailor Brennan.
The virginal archer is supposed to babysit my ass while I learn to take my place in Royal Pipelines, my family’s oil company.
Little does she know, that’s not the only pipe I’ll be laying…

Sailor 
I didn’t want this gig, okay?
But the deal was too sweet to walk away from.
I needed the public endorsement; Hunter needed a nanny.
Besides, what’s six months in the grand scheme of things?
It’s not like I’m in danger of falling in love with the appallingly gorgeous, charismatic gazillionaire who happens to be one of Boston’s most eligible bachelors.
No. I will remain immune to Hunter Fitzpatrick’s charm.
Even at the cost of losing everything I have.
Even at the cost of burning down his kingdom.

Heartless King - Maya Hughes






Title: Heartless King
Series: Standalone book #5 in the
Kings of Rittenhouse Series
Author: Maya Hughes
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: April 23, 2020



Two blue lines. That means not pregnant, right? Right? Oh, sh*t.

Five years ago, Colm Frost asked me to marry him and I ran. I ran from my painful past too raw and fresh to escape. He was the only one who looked at me like I wasn’t broken and made me believe it. He made me feel it.

Now, he’s the hot, angry, hockey player on the mend.

I’m the physiotherapist who’s supposed to get him back on his feet.

I don’t think our night together was what his doctor prescribed, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t dreamt of him every time I close my eyes. I woke up beside him with my body still singing from the way he fanned the flames of my desire, but I couldn’t stay.

His lips on my neck. His hands wrapped around my waist. His impressive...ahem, touch leaving me breathless.

One moment of wild inhibition and it’s come back to bite me in the butt. Kind of like he did that night.

But a baby? Our night was supposed to be a one time thing, closing a door on the future I couldn’t handle.

Will this new bump in the road be everything we needed to find our forever?

Heartless King is a standalone friends to enemies to lovers, accidental pregnancy romance that brings all the laugh out loud, angsty feels!

The question had been running through my head all night: how could I get her to leave? But I didn’t want her to go. And now the maple syrup and cinnamon taste of her sent me hurtling close to the edge of my control. Those reserves were running on fumes.
Everyone else had been run off by my anger or blinded by my money, but not her. If anything, she battled me, pushing me like she knew I needed it. She wouldn’t let me hide the splintered and cracked pieces of myself that I was barely holding together.
She didn’t push me to talk, just slid in past my defenses and got me to say more than I should.
“Do you want me to stop?” I ran my fingers through her hair, tugging on the roots.
Her lips parted in a gasp and I deepened the kiss, needing to taste even more of her. She’d teased me, eating that French toast that smelled like a vanilla and cinnamon factory had exploded when it arrived at our table.
She stared into my eyes, heavy breaths shuddering past her lips. “Hell no.”

Heartless King is the fifth and final title in the Kings of Rittenhouse series. 

Heartless King is a bittersweet, emotional and angsty read, featuring a pair of characters who are incredibly complex and layered.  Both Colm and Imo are damaged characters, who have been dealt a rough hand in life and experienced their fair share of loss, loneliness, sadness and guilt. 

Colm is a brooding hero, who takes his responsibilities very seriously.  He’s very caring, but a tad over the top, and struggles when he looses control.  Imo is sweet, caring, patient and very determined. 

Their relationship is fraught with miscommunications and misunderstandings, but their chemistry is undeniable. 

The previous Rittenhouse heroes feature throughout this title.  I thoroughly enjoyed this captivating and entertaining read, and adored this ending to the Kings of Rittenhouse series.

Killian is the first title in the fearless few series, and it sets the tone for a sexy and suspenseful series full of drama, action, intrigue and mystery.  Ellie and Killian’s story is a quick and fast paced read that left me intrigued, but still feeling like I have a lot to discover when it comes to the fearless few.

Ellie is strong, sassy, witty, independent and loyal.  She’s hard working and will do anything for those she holds dear.  Killian is an enigmatic hero, shrouded in an air of mystery.  He’s a protective, possessive, blunt and bossy over the top alpha.  The chemistry between this pair is undeniable and oozes of the page.

I enjoyed the cameo of a few familiar faces and look forward to discovering more secrets of the fearless few.

Working For It - BJ Harvey



Title: Working for It
Series: A Cook Brothers Novel
Author: BJ Harvey
Genre: Surprise baby, friends to lovers, house flipping romantic comedy
Release Date: May 6, 2020






Sometimes a surprise baby can lead to unexpected happy endings.

***

It started one night in Vegas over a naughty cocktail and dirty banter. Eight months of bedded bliss later, Gilly Nelson says the two words Ezra Baker never saw coming: “I’m pregnant.”

Twice-divorced Ezra has always acted first, thought it through later. Except in Gilly he finds an equal; a strong-willed, independent woman who doesn’t need his money or kind heart to get ahead. She just wants him.

Career-focused Gilly never imagined she’d be thirty-five, single and pregnant. Except when Ezra suggests they date rather than just mate, she finds herself wondering whether the man she’s been looking for has been in her bed all along.

If they can survive raging hormones, house renovations, and the realities of childbirth, surely creating a family will be a walk in the park...right?

***

Working For It is a full-length house flipping romantic comedy that can be read as a complete standalone and is the fifth and final book in the Cook Brothers series. Working For It is Ezra Baker's story.











“Is this seat taken?” I turn my head, my mouth tipping up with a wry grin when I see the source of the inquiry. 

Gilly Nelson—Jax Cook’s sister-in-law, for all intents and purposes—stands there in all her stunning glory. 

She’s five foot ten, with her long blonde hair gathered in a high ponytail, sparkling dark blue eyes, and well-maintained curves for days. She’s stunning—beyond so. It’s a sight I've enjoyed every chance I’ve had in the past twelve hours, especially earlier tonight when she wore that clingy black dress made of a netted, sequined fabric that would’ve had any unattached red-blooded man fantasizing about all the ways they could get to what’s underneath it. 

I know this to be true because that’s exactly what I’ve been doing all night. And since we’re both in Vegas for my best friend, Jamie, and his fiancée, April’s, joint bachelor/bachelorette party, I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t entertained thoughts of proving the “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” adage to be true—preferably with the woman currently raking her gaze up and down my body.

I stand and pull out the barstool beside me. “A gentleman,” she murmurs. “A rare find, some might say.” Her lips twitch, her eyes dancing. 

I shrug. “I’m simply the man my mama raised me to be—and my father made damn sure I became.”

Once she’s seated, I push her chair in and sit beside her, lifting my arm in the air to signal a bartender. 

“Fancy seeing you here,” she says, tilting her body toward me, her thigh brushing against mine as she goes. 

“Indeed. I thought everyone was calling it a night.”

She quirks a brow, her lips twitching. “You mean the couples who have anything but sleep on their minds?” 

I groan and drop my head on the bar.

“What?” she asks with a sly smile that gets my attention below the belt.

I turn my head and meet her eyes: “I’m rooming with Cohen. Now I really don’t want this night to end.”

Gilly snorts, biting her lip as if to stop herself from laughing. I chuckle, and she loses the fight, soon joining me. 

“Well, how about you let me buy you another drink . . .” She nods at the twenty-year-old malt in my hand, “. . . and I can help you avoid any awkward interruptions,” she whispers. “Because I don’t know about you, but it doesn’t matter how close you are with someone, no one wants to walk in on post-coital bliss, solo or otherwise.” 

Well, damn. Now there’s only one person’s post-coital anything I’m thinking of, and it’s the woman in front of me. 

This is the first time it’s been just the two of us without any of our family or friends around. So far, all I know about Gillian Nelson is that she’s Ronnie’s older sister, and she knows how to wear the hell out of a classy dress with Louboutins I want digging into my back. 

Before I get to making that particular fantasy a reality, I’m going to find out more about this golden-haired goddess. 

I sit up straight, catching the bartender finally moving our way out of the corner of my eye.

“How about I buy the drinks, and you find us an empty booth so you can dazzle me with your charm and undoubtedly stunning wit for the rest of the night?” I ask, quirking my brow.

Her eyes flash. “Twist my arm, why don’t you.” She leans in, resting her hand on my shoulder and bringing her mouth close to my ear. “But don’t feel you have to play it safe and only compliment my personality and intellect, Ez. I didn’t wear this dress, and these shoes not to be noticed and appreciated, and I haven’t missed your continued appreciation all night. Don’t make me miss it now.” She brushes her lips against my cheek in a barely-there kiss before succeeding in knocking me—figuratively—on my ass. She straightens, wraps her fingers around my tumbler, and meets my wide stare before lifting the glass to her lips and downing the rest of the scotch like it’s water. She winks at me. “I’ll have another one of those if you will.” 

Then she’s slipping off the stool, and my head turns to watch her—and her amazing ass—walk across the room toward the black leather booths lining the front windows. Freaking gorgeous. 

A tap of knuckles on the bar knocks me from my impure thoughts, and I meet the amused gaze of the bartender who’s leaning his elbows onto the bar, his eyes drifting from me to the same sight I was just enjoying.

I look back to Gilly just in time to see her slide into a booth, her dress riding up as she does, giving me a glimpse of lace-topped stockings and a garter. Damn! Just the thought that she’s been wearing that all night has me groaning under my breath. I can’t look away. “Make it two of the same.”

“Lucky bastard,” he mutters.
