WRAPPED UP IN READING’s REVIEW OF DRUNK DIAL

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new, sexy standalone novel.

It seemed like a good idea at the time. Look up Landon Roderick, that boy from childhood whom I’d never been able to forget—even though he so easily forgot about me—and call him.

Then again, anything sounds like a good idea when you’ve had a little too much wine before bed, right? It was supposed to be just a quick, meaningless, prank call. Instead, I went off on him—unloading thirteen years of pent-up emotions.

I didn’t think he’d call me back.

I certainly could never have anticipated the weeks of sexually tense phone conversations that followed as I got to know the man he’d become.

Turned out, Landon had never really forgotten me, either. That special connection we had was still there. I opened up to him, but there were also things about me he didn’t know. And he had his own secrets.

Over the countless hours we talked on the phone, I wondered what would happen if we actually saw each other. One night, I did something impulsive again. Only this time, I went to the airport and booked a ticket to California. We were about to find out if one phone call could bring two lost souls together or if my drunk dial really was all just a big mistake.

A complete STANDALONE.

BLOG TOUR – WISH YOU WERE HERE by Renee Carlino

Leave a comment

 

You know when you’re looking at someone and you can’t help but smile at how oblivious they are to their own charm? That’s what was happening to me, and it was making me feel…happy. Euphoric. Something indescribable. It was like we already knew each other, like we had met in a previous life. Memories that didn’t exist began exploding in my mind like fireworks.

Charlotte has spent her twenties adrift, searching for a spark to jump-start her life and give her a sense of purpose. She’s had as many jobs as she’s had bad relationships, and now she’s feeling especially lost in her less-than-glamorous gig at a pie-and-fry joint in Los Angeles, where the uniforms are bad and the tips are even worse.

Then she collides—literally—with Adam, an intriguing, handsome, and mysterious painter. Their serendipitous meeting on the street turns into a whirlwind one-night stand that has Charlotte feeling enchanted by Adam’s spontaneity and joy for life. There’s promise in both his words and actions, but in the harsh light of morning, Adam’s tune changes, leaving Charlotte to wonder if her notorious bad luck with men is really just her own bad judgment.

Months later, a new relationship with Seth, a charming baseball player, is turning into something more meaningful, but Charlotte’s still having trouble moving past her one enthralling night with Adam. Why? When she searches for answers, she finds the situation with Adam is far more complicated than she ever imagined. Faced with the decision to write a new story with Seth or finish the one started with Adam, Charlotte embarks on a life-altering journey, one that takes her across the world and back again, bringing a lifetime’s worth of pain, joy, and wisdom.

WRAPPED UP IN READING’s REVIEW OF WISH YOU WERE HERE

“You’re making love sound tragic,” I said.

“No”—he shook his head—“I wouldn’t want it any other way. Tell me about us. What do we like to do?”

“Paint and sail and eat and drink. Just simple things.” “Don’t forget about sex,” he said.
“Yeah, lots of sex. Before the children were born we

“We were practically naked every second of the day.”

“I like that.”

“When they got older, we’d sneak away for weekends and leave them at my mom’s.”

“What are they like? Our children.”

“Happy. That’s all we wished for. We put our love first and it just spilled over into them and now they’re happy.”

Tears sprang from my eyes and ran down my cheeks. Isn’t that what we all hope for when it comes to our children?

His tone suddenly changed. “That’s beautiful, Char- lotte.” It was like he was waking up from the dream. I didn’t want to go back to reality yet, but I knew these fantasies were just to help Adam get his mind off things.

“I can imagine a long life with you,” he said. “I can imagine what a great wife you’d be.”

I pulled my hand out of his. “The story is about you and me.” He didn’t say anything; he just nodded and then continued to stare out the window. I bent and kissed the top of his head again, and whispered, “It’s about us. Don’t take that away from me.”

REVIEW – WISH YOU WERE HERE by Renee Carlino

SYNOPSIS

Charlotte has spent her twenties adrift, floating from interest to interest, job to job, and guy to guy, searching for a spark but never quite finding it. All she knows is that she won’t discover it working as a waitress at a pies-and-fries joint in Los Angeles or living with her fun but aimless best friend in a tiny apartment in the Arts District.

Then Charlotte collides with Adam, a gorgeous and soulful painter who seems just as lost as she feels. Their instant connection turns into a midnight drink… and a whirlwind night of champagne, Chinese food, and the kind of conversation that only happens in romantic comedies. But the next morning, Adam gives Charlotte the cold shoulder, leaving her confused and hurt—and wondering if the few odd moments between them the night before were red flags in disguise.

Months later, Charlotte hasn’t been able to shake Adam, so she decides to find out what happened the morning after their magical night together. This fateful decision rewrites their wild love story, but what Charlotte doesn’t know yet is that the ending has already been written.

 

*****Patty’s Review*****

*****FOUR STARS*****
{ARC Generously Provided by Author}

”I promise to love you forever. As long as there is love in this world, we will be a part of it.” 

 

Renee Carlino takes us on another emotionally charged and utterly heartbreaking journey in her latest novel, ”WISH YOU WERE HERE”. I get why so many people love this story and have cried their eyes out, but I felt a little let down because I didn’t have the same experience. My heart was definitely broken but I think the fact that I loved both men in this story prevented me from having the ugly cry. This book is about life and how precious it is, and that we all should make the most of it because we only get one–well that’s if you don’t believe in reincarnation. It’s also about love and how it comes in so many different forms and if you are lucky enough to experience it, then embrace it and give it your all.

Charlotte Martin is a young woman who is still so incredibly lost as she nears the end of her twenties. She lives in a rundown apartment with her childhood best friend and has a dead end job as a waitress in a local diner. Charlie has no idea what she wants to do with her life. She has quickly lost interest in almost every career she has tried her hand at. She also has quite a few failed relationships in her past as well. Charlie is a relationship type of girl but she always seems to choose men who are emotionally unavailable. Deep down she’s not really ready to take life seriously, that is until she meets a gorgeous and charismatic stranger out on the street while on her way home from a night out with her bestie, Helen. Adam and Charlie hit it off almost instantly and their banter is easy and even a bit comical. He helps Charlie walk her inebriated friend back home and then somehow he convinces her to go and have a drink with him. She’s not the kind of girl who goes out in the middle of the night with a total stranger but something about Adam has her gravitating towards him. His company is intoxicating and she is curious to see where things go.

 

 

Somehow the two end up back at Adam’s loft where we learn that he’s an artist and he has some odd quirks. Adam seems to have bad memory retention and so he has post it notes all over his place that are filled with written reminders for him. While she never expected things to get too serious, Charlie and Adam share an amazing night filled with profound introspection and mind blowing sex. She’s knocked on her ass the next morning when Adam’s entire demeanor changes and he’s quite rude and standoffish towards her. Though they only shared one night together, her heart had already gotten attached to Adam and she’s overcome with sadness for nearly six months afterward.

After wallowing in self-pity for far too long, Charlie tries her hand at online dating. She ends up meeting another gorgeous, charming, and incredibly sweet man. Seth is a minor league baseball player who is on his way up to the major leagues. From the moment he walked into the story, my heart melted for him. I really loved this guy. So he may have fallen a little too fast for Charlie, but there was a lot of that insta-love going on in this story and it never bothered me in the slightest. I just really disliked how Charlie treated him at times. Honestly, I didn’t warm up to her until I was almost to the end of the book. While Charlie really likes Seth and they have incredible physical chemistry, she can’t help but compare her feelings for Seth to her feelings for Adam. Every day it seems things pop up that are constantly reminding her of Adam and she finally decides to find him and get the answers she needs to find closure. She will get answers but they aren’t what she ever would have expected.

Adam comes back into her life and while I admit, I was happy to have him back, I felt so bad for Seth. I wished that one of these men had been a self-absorbed douchebag so that I could pick one guy to root for but they were both amazing. I knew that it would be impossible for the Heroine to ride off into the sunset with the both men.

I really wished things transpired differently in this story but I understand why the author took us down the path she did. It was a journey the Heroine had to take to ultimately find the strength to make changes in her life and to stop living in a constant state of limbo. But I’m greedy and so that’s why I couldn’t rate this book a full five stars–I wanted to but I’m still a bit upset over how some things transpired in the story. Don’t get me wrong, I thought the writing was superb and I did like this book quite a bit!

I’m positive that readers are going to fall in love with this story and that it will haunt many! It’s definitely worth one-clicking! Renee Carlino has become an automatic must read author for me.

*****Mel’s Review*****

-“As long as there is love in this world, we will be a part of it.”

 

 

Charlotte Martin is a 27 yr. old woman living in the arts district of downtown Los Angeles with her best friend Helen. She’s been through many career choices & is still finding herself. She’s currently working as a waitress at a cafe & hasn’t had any luck finding her Mr. Right.

One evening she randomly meets a man named Adam & the feeling is almost indescribable. She feels such a strong connection to this man & an intense need to know him. He’s funny & sweet, and his joy for life is contagious. He’s spontaneous & lives life in the moment. She’s completely enchanted by this gorgeous stranger and they end up spending one beautiful night together. She felt they shared something unique & rare she couldn’t explain, but the next day he acts rude and blows her off. She feels rejected and figures it’s not meant to be & moves on.

 

-He was spontaneous and fun. It excited me.

-I was in love with his spontaneity. I envied it.

 

 

Some time goes by, and Charlotte is still thinking about Adam & still hung up on him. She’s confused because he seemed so sincere & genuine. He made her feel special & she’s never felt so connected to anyone, but something was off about him. She sensed he was undergoing some sort of change in his life. Even though her experience with this man was a bit weird, she can’t get him out of her head. He messed with her self-confidence & made her question her judgment.

 

Months later Charlotte meets another man that helps take her mind off Adam. His name is Seth Taylor & he lives in San Diego. He is a really great guy & she enjoys spending time with him, but she still can’t fully move on from Adam. He’s a mystery & she realizes she fell for him. She decides to try & contact him to at least get some closure but finds out everything is much more complicated than she realized. She’s now left with the decision does she continue on with her new relationship with Seth or see if there is anything to salvage with Adam?

It’s hard to say much about this book and not have spoilers so I’ll just say it is deeply emotional. Be prepared to shed a few tears. The book has a lot of great messages. It is about love, self-worth, taking chances instead of living life on the sidelines, & soulmates. Some of us are lucky enough in this life to have more than one. This book has a bit of a love triangle & I adored both Adam & Seth.

 

COVER REVEAL – CUFFED by K. Bromberg

Leave a comment

WE ARE EXCITED TO BRING YOU THE COVER FOR CUFFED BY NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLING AUTHOR K.BROMBERG RELEASING ON OCTOBER 23!

 

 

 

 

Design: Helen Williams
Photographer: Wander Aguiar

 

 

 

From the New York Times bestselling author, K. Bromberg, comes a new series about three brothers, the job that calls them, and the women who challenge them.

“I hate you. I never want to see you again.”

Grant Malone is not the reason I moved back to Sunnyville—at least that’s what I tell myself. Yet, those parting words I said to him back in third grade, ring in my ears every time a townsperson brings up one of the Malone boys. I thought time had healed my wounds. I was wrong. Nothing could have prepared me for how I felt when I finally saw him again.

Twenty years does a lot to turn a boy into a man. One who hits all my buttons—sexy, funny, attractive, and a police officer. But Grant is off limits because he knows too much about my past.

But I’m drawn to him. That damn uniform of his doesn’t hurt either. It’ll be my downfall. I know it.
What’s one night of sex going to hurt . . . right?
***

I’ve always loved Emmy Reeves.

That’s why I’m shocked to see her all these years later. The shy girl I once knew is all grown up.

Adventurous and full of life, she owns my heart now, just as much as she did back then. Convincing her of that is a whole different story.

I’ll give her the one night she asks for—like that’s a hardship—but when it comes to letting her walk away after, she has another thing coming. There’s no way in hell I’m letting her go this time without a fight.

BLOG TOUR – ROYALLY ENDOWED (Royally #3) by Emma Chase

Logan St. James is a smoldering, sexy beast. Sure, he can be a little broody at times—but Ellie Hammond’s willing to overlook that. Because, have you seen him??

Sexy. As. Hell.

And Ellie’s perky enough for both of them.

For years, she’s had a crush on the intense, protective royal security guard—but she doesn’t think he ever saw her, not really.

To Logan, Ellie was just part of the job—a relative of the royal family he’d sworn to protect. Now, at 22 years old and fresh out of college, she’s determined to put aside her X-rated dreams of pat-downs and pillow talk, and find a real life happily ever after.

The Queen of Wessco encourages Ellie to follow in her sister’s footsteps and settle down with a prince of her own. Or a duke, a marquis…a viscount would also do nicely.

But in the pursuit of a fairy tale ending, Ellie learns that the sweetest crushes can be the hardest to let go.
***
Logan St. James grew up on the wrong side of the tracks, in a family on the wrong side of the law. But these days, he covers his tattoos and scars with a respectable suit. He’s handsome, loyal, brave, skilled with his hands and…other body parts.

Any woman would be proud to bring him home to her family.

But there’s only one woman he wants.

For years he’s watched over her, protected her, held her hair back when she was sick, taught her how to throw a punch, and spot a liar.

He dreams of her. Would lay down his life for her.

But beautiful Ellie Hammond’s off-limits.

Everybody knows the bodyguard rules: Never lose focus, never let them out of your sight, and never, ever fall in love.

Ellie

But then the mood shifts, as if the air becomes thicker, weighted, more . . . sultry.

Because slowly, Logan sinks down to one knee in front of me—looking in my eyes the whole time. In this position, I could touch his shoulders, comb my fingers through his thick, dark hair. He’s the perfect height for me to bend down and kiss his mouth—the perfect height for him to kiss me back . . . in a lot of places.

My breath hitches. And I wonder he feels it too.

There’s a sound of tearing Velcro, and Logan takes something off his ankle—a holster, with a small silver knife, about three inches long.

“Keep this on you all the time,” he says seriously. “Just in case. If you wear a skirt, the strap will fit around your thigh.”

And I almost laugh. Most girls get a ring from a guy on his knees. I get a murder weapon. But still, it makes me feel safe . . . watched over. Like I’m something precious that deserves to be protected.

I take the knife from him, testing the surprisingly solid, heavy weight of it in my hand. I press my index finger to the tip.

Logan grabs my wrist tightly. “Careful. It’s sharp.”

There’s a small, painless nick, a tiny bead of blood, so I put my finger in my mouth, sucking.

And Logan’s watching me again.

Watching my mouth.

His chest seems to rise just a little faster, and his throat ripples when he swallows. He bends his head, curves his strong back, and then I feel his hands on my ankle, securing the strap. His touch is warm and self-assured. It’s the way he always moves—confident and experienced. Logan knows his body and he knows how to use it, in every way possible.

I almost moan. The sound is in the back of my throat, but I keep it trapped. I never knew the ankle was an erogenous zone, but it sure as hell is now. A hot pulse of pleasure streaks from Logan’s fingers on my bare skin, up my thigh, between my legs.

And I throb there, growing swollen and heavy as he keeps his hands on me.

Can he tell? Does he know? He’s so aware of everything, always so attuned, I wonder if he can sense my arousal . . . feel it in the air that clings between us.

*****Mel’s Review*****

4 Stars!

 

 

Bren Matthews is a beautiful, single 30 yr. old woman who loves her job as a zoologist at the city zoo. She wants to let loose & have a little no-strings attached fun. She heads to the local bar & meets the most gorgeous guy she’s ever laid eyes on. She has a night of hot, passionate sex. This man was seriously gifted in the bedroom, but Bren wasn’t interested in a relationship or anything serious. She’d been through a lot in her past, and had some baggage. She tended to pick guys she wouldn’t get emotionally attached to. She’d share her body, but not her heart. So even though she felt an intense connection & the chemistry was insane with her sexy stranger, she still sneaks out in the morning.

Mason Bentley has the most amazing night with a woman named Bren. She totally blows his mind in the best way, & he has the most incredible sex of his life. He’s disappointed to find her gone when he wakes up, & decides to try to find her. He looks everywhere. He wants to get to know her & is going to make her his when he finally tracks her down. He hasn’t settled down yet, because he’s still looking for the one. He wants a soul mate, & after the unexplainable connection he felt with Bren, he thinks she’s the woman he’s been looking for.

 

-There were no words for the sex. From the moment I’d first kissed her, I’d been completely absorbed, lit with the need for more- to touch her, smell her, and breathe her in. It was more than chemistry- it was sheer animal connection, and I knew, even from that first, innocent kids, that she could feel it too. Our connection was unlike anything I’d ever felt.

 

Bren is worried she might be pregnant & makes an appointment with a doctor. She is mortified when she realizes her new OBGYN is her one night stand Mason. She thought she’d never see him again. Mason is thrilled to see Bren & wants to spend time with her and get to know her better. Under the circumstances he doesn’t want to be strangers. He comes on strong & is intense. He’s open & kind, and she is guarded & closed off. She has a fear of intimacy, & it’s freaking her out how close she feels to Mason. He’s overwhelming & keeps pushing for more. Soon she can’t help falling for him. Will her commitment issues ruin her chance at real love?

I really loved this whole series! Dr. Bentley was super swoony & deliciously sexy. He knew what he wanted & went after it. He loved with his whole heart & fell hard and fast. Really enjoyed this one! It was full of romance, humor & love.

 

-It was like someone designed this man just for me.

After everything we’d done together last night? Lord only knew the kindest thing would be to let him sleep. Surely by the time noon came, I’d have forgotten all about him anyway. Besides, it wasn’t like I’d ever see him again. Nope. It was the kind of night that should be savored and then placed firmly in the past.

 

 

The fourth installment of the ROOMMATES series centers around a couple who meet at a bar and end up having an unbelievably hot one night stand. What was supposed to be an uncomplicated night of fun, ends up being more than what the couple bargained for.

Bren Matthews is a zoologist who has committed all of her time to her career. She neither has the time nor the desire to be in a relationship. Her outlook on love was tarnished the moment her father passed away, and her mother became a shell of the person she used to be. It’s like her mother lost her will to carry on once she lost the love of her life. Bren knew from that moment on that she never wanted a man to have that kind of an impact on her life. Having gone without sex for what seems like a decade, Bren starts to have an itch that needs to be scratched so she goes out on her own to find an able and willing man to give her some sexual satisfaction. She never expected to be approached by the most gorgeous man she’s ever laid eyes on. They end up going back to his place and have the absolute best sex of their lives, but the next morning she sneaks off without leaving her number since it was never her intention to pursue anything more with Mason. Two weeks later she is still thinking about that night, but then a possibility that she could be pregnant turns her world upside down. Her friend makes an appointment for Bren to see a gynecologist to take a pregnancy test. She gets the shock of her life when the doctor who shows up in the exam room is none other than the man who could possibly be the baby daddy.

 

 

Mason Bentley is every single woman’s dream. He’s gorgeous, a successful doctor and has the biggest heart. Mason hasn’t been in many relationships because he’s looking for the real deal and he refuses to settle. Having his parents, who have had the most loving of relationships as role models, Mason knows that it is possible to find his true soul mate. He has been haunted by the memories of that passionate night with Bren. He thought they had shared a real connection and was disappointed when he woke up and found that she had left without giving him anyway to reach out to her again. For two weeks, he’s been walking with his head in a fog. He is completely floored when he realizes his new patient is Bren. The fact that she’s in to take a pregnancy test is another huge shock for him but he couldn’t be happier now that Bren is back in his life.

While Bren is extremely skittish about giving the relationship a chance, Mason is certain that they’re meant to be. He is able to convince her to hold off from finding out the results of the pregnancy test for one month so that during that time they can get to know each other and Mason hopes that Bren will come to realize that they have a real chance at true love.

I really loved Mason but thought he was just too perfect and that Bren didn’t deserve him. Her reasons for pushing him away didn’t seem as valid to me. I wished that she had made more of an effort to make the relationship work. By the time she got her head out of her ass, her attempts to show Mason how she felt seemed too little too late in my opinion. If it weren’t for how incredibly swoon worthy and sweet Mason was, I think I probably would have ended up liking this one even less.

REVIEW – ROYALLY ENDOWED (Royally #3) by Emma Chase

Leave a comment

SYNOPSIS

Logan St. James is a smoldering, sexy beast. Sure, he can be a little broody at times—but Ellie Hammond’s willing to overlook that. Because, have you seen him??

Sexy. As. Hell.

And Ellie’s perky enough for both of them.

For years, she’s had a crush on the intense, gorgeous royal security guard—but she doesn’t think he ever saw her, not really.

To Logan, Ellie was just part of the job—a relative of the royal family he’d sworn to protect. Now, at 22 years old and fresh out of college, she’s determined to put aside her X-rated dreams of pat-downs and pillow talk, and find a real life happily ever after.

The Queen of Wessco encourages Ellie to follow in her sister’s footsteps and settle down with a prince of her own. Or a duke, a marquis…a viscount would also do nicely.

But in the pursuit of a fairy tale ending, Ellie learns that the sweetest crushes can be the hardest to let go.
***
Logan St. James grew up on the wrong side of the tracks, in a family on the wrong side of the law. But these days, he covers his tattoos and scars with a respectable suit. He’s handsome, loyal, brave, skilled with his hands and…other body parts.

Any woman would be proud to call him hers.

But there’s only one woman he wants.

For years he’s watched over her, protected her, held her hair back when she was sick, taught her how to throw a punch, and spot a liar.

He dreams of her. Would lay down his life for her.

But beautiful Ellie Hammond’s off-limits.

Everybody knows the bodyguard rules: Never lose focus, never let them out of your sight, and never, ever fall in love.

For the first time since I met him, my hero looks lost, my guardian angel has a broken wing. And I want to mend him, save him the way he’s always saved me. I want to love him until he feels found.

 

 

Emma Chase has been one of my most adored authors since I read her debut novel, TANGLED, over four years ago. Her books are at the upper echelon of the RomCom genre. I’ve fallen in love with every series she has created and I might sound like a broken record but I think the ROYALLY series has become my new favorite by this amazingly gifted author. I swear this series has been nothing short of BRILLIANT. It just keeps getting better and every time I’m just floored because I couldn’t fathom that it was even possible!! I have loved every single one of Ms. Chase’s Heroes and shockingly, I have adored all of her Heroines as well. ROYALLY ENDOWED was SWEET PERFECTION from beginning to end. I know a book is pretty darn fabulous when I am nearing the last page and am heartbroken that I can’t stay lost in the story for a little while longer. I predict that Logan and Ellie’s story is going to sweep readers off their feet!!

 

 

Ellie Hammond is Princess Olivia’s smart and vivacious little sister. The two have always been very close and their relationship became so much more when their mother was taken from them too early in life. Ellie wants her sister to have a shot at happiness so she promises to take care of the family Diner for the summer so that Olivia can spend a few months in Wessco with Prince Nicholas. The beginning of this story coincides with part of the timeline from the first book, Royally Screwed. While they are away in Wessco, Prince Nicholas makes a request of his top security agent, Logan St. James, to stay behind in New York City and to look after young Ellie. Logan is not a fan of being a baby sitter but Prince Nicholas has always been like a brother to him and he’d do anything for the Prince. So Logan and a few men on the security team, stay behind to look after Ellie and help out at the Diner as well.

 

 

From the moment Logan walked into her life, Ellie had been completely smitten. He’s been the leading man in most of her teenaged girl fantasies. Her charming personality and love for life have quickly endeared herself to Logan. He knows that Ellie has a crush on him and even if deep down he feels an attraction to her as well, he keeps it all locked up since she is underage. But as the years fly by and they’ve been a part of each other’s lives, Ellie grows up to be an even more impossibly beautiful woman and Logan’s willpower to stay away from her is hanging on by the tiniest of threads.

When Olivia becomes pregnant with twins and Prince Nicholas realizes that moving back to the palace in Wessco would be safer for his wife and unborn children, Ellie decides to delay her plans of going to graduate school for a year and moves with them. While at the palace, Ellie catches the interest of the Queen. Since Ellie is considered extended royalty due to her sister’s marriage to Prince Nicholas, the Queen takes it upon herself to become a royal matchmaker. But Ellie soon realizes that there is only one man for her and that it’s time she made her feelings known to him. It’s time to take a huge leap of faith and hope that Logan will reciprocate her feelings. And of course, he does.

 

 

The passion between these two nearly burn up the pages of this book! Imagine years of the most insane unrequited desires for someone finally being fulfilled. Ellie and Logan spend countless days and hours just getting lost in each other. Life seems nearly perfect but in order to live a happily ever after together, Logan must give up the one thing that has brought purpose and respect to his life—his job as the Royals bodyguard. Can Logan be truly happy without the one thing that enabled him to rise above his impoverished and destitute beginning?

 

 

This book was everything and more to me. I loved Logan and Ellie beyond words and having the rest of the Royals along for the ride was an extra slice of heaven. Prince Nicholas was, as always, the definition of swoon worthy. He made my heart flutter more than once during this one. I can’t say that this is my favorite in the series because honestly, each book has been outstanding. There’s really no way to compete!!

ROYALLY ENDOWED is currently available! Make sure you put good use to your one-click finger and add this to your ebook libraries!!

*****Mel’s Review*****
5 “I’m Yours” Stars!

 

 

Logan St. James was in the military & then landed a position on the royal security team. He was hired to protect Prince Nicholas, the Crown Prince of Wessco. He takes his job very seriously. The prince has fallen in love with a woman from New York named Olivia Hammond. While Nicholas & Olivia head to the palace for a while, they’ve asked Logan to stay in New York to guard Olivia’s little sister Ellie. Protecting the royal family is his duty, & now he has to keep tabs on an American teenage girl. Logan is in his early 20’s when he first meets Ellie. He can tell she has a massive crush on him, but keeps things professional. He just keeps reminding himself she’s young & off limits, but that doesn’t mean he can’t enjoy her company. She’s funny & sweet, and he likes spending time with her.

 

Ellie Hammond is in her senior year of high school when she first meets the adonis perfection that is Logan St. James. The man is absolutely stunning. He’s brooding & a little serious, but he makes her feel safe & cared for. He’s brave, loyal, and makes her feel precious & special. Over time they grow closer, & Ellie continues to have filthy fantasies about her gorgeous, invincible guardian angel. She desperately craves him, but doesn’t think he feels the same.

Ellie graduates college & over the years Logan is constantly fighting his feelings for her. He protects her, but can’t make a move on her no matter how badly he wants her. He thought he could push it away & ignore it, but as time passes he longs to have her, to touch her, to make her his In every way.

 

-It’s my job to keep Ellie Hammond safe. All of her. Her body as well as her sweet little soul. And I’m damn good at what I do, but more than that, I want to protect her. Because she’s kind and clever, lovely and precious… and fuck… somebody has to care enough to keep that safe.

-What I feel for her is the only thing in my life that makes sense. That matters.

 

The loyal guard & the princess’s sister are not socially acceptable. Logan comes from the wrong side of the tracks, & everyone has grand fairytale plans for Ellie that don’t include her hero. Logan becomes everything to Ellie & she fights for what she wants. He would lay down his life for her, but will he choose love over his duty?

I loved loved this book! Logan St. James is everything I adore in a book boyfriend. Swoony, beautiful perfection!

 

-Ellie is mesmerizing.

-“I burn for you, sweet girl. I dream of you, even when I’m awake.”

-I want to cherish Logan. Adore him. My heart, my body, my soul- they’re already his.

-There was never going to be anyone for me but Logan St. James.

SNEAK PEEK – DRUNK DIAL by Penelope Ward

Leave a comment

 

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new, sexy standalone novel.

It seemed like a good idea at the time. Look up Landon Roderick, that boy from childhood whom I’d never been able to forget—even though he so easily forgot about me—and call him.

Then again, anything sounds like a good idea when you’ve had a little too much wine before bed, right? It was supposed to be just a quick, meaningless, prank call. Instead, I went off on him—unloading thirteen years of pent-up emotions.

I didn’t think he’d call me back.

I certainly could never have anticipated the weeks of sexually tense phone conversations that followed as I got to know the man he’d become.

Turned out, Landon had never really forgotten me, either. That special connection we had was still there. I opened up to him, but there were also things about me he didn’t know. And he had his own secrets.

Over the countless hours we talked on the phone, I wondered what would happen if we actually saw each other. One night, I did something impulsive again. Only this time, I went to the airport and booked a ticket to California. We were about to find out if one phone call could bring two lost souls together or if my drunk dial really was all just a big mistake.

A complete STANDALONE.

After that evening, I hadn’t heard back from him for a few days.

Then, one night, a text came in from the same phone number I recognized as Landon’s. It was the first time he’d texted me.

I looked down to find he’d sent a photo.

I gasped.

It was a heavily tatted man set against the backdrop of the ocean at sunset. Oh, my. It was him—a selfie.

Fuck. Me. He was beautiful.

I wouldn’t have even known it was Landon were it not for the blue eyes I recognized instantly. The shaggy, caramel hair I remembered from the past was now a darker shade of brown and shorter, cropped closer to his head. His arms and his chest were inked, his body so perfect that if I squinted, it almost resembled carved stone.

I couldn’t stop looking at him. My eyes wanted nothing more than to explore the ridges and valleys of his stunning body.

Was this a cruel joke?

This was not Landon!

But, it was.

With my thumb and middle finger, I kept zooming in and out, examining the details of the ink across his chest and on his arms. There was really nothing sexier than a guy with perfect arms and a full sleeve tattoo.

Even though his lips seemed fuller than I recalled, they still curved into a familiar grin that oozed confidence. The eyes and that smile were the only traces of the boy I remembered. I wished I could’ve leapt through the screen to smell him, touch him.

“Hi, Landon,” I whispered, for a brief moment talking to the boy inside, not the man in front of me.

This Landon was the polar opposite of the Ivy League yuppie image previously in my head. The only thing the man pictured might have majored in was badassery. He looked like a rockstar, a rule breaker, displaying a sense of arousing danger—someone who must have had women from all walks of life drooling over him for the sheer fact that either they couldn’t have him or shouldn’t have him. It suddenly became clear why, as he’d alluded to, a woman might have been begging him for sex. That made me wonder if he had any secret tattoos in spots I wasn’t allowed to see.

God.

A fire was burning inside of me, and I knew it was my crush exploding into a full-blown obsession.

A self-conscious feeling came over me. If I was scared to show him a picture of myself before, now I was really hesitant.

The message that went along with the photo simply read:

Now show me you.
