FAMED by Magan Vernon:

On the heels of Mary James leaked sex tape – totally a fake one to make her boyfriend jealous she might add- she needs some PR help if she ever wants her acting career to end up in a fiery hell like her love life.

Chris Garcia has been working his way up from mail room clerk to junior associate at Tate & Cane and now to get to the next rung of the corporate ladder he has to take on the firm’s toughest client: Mary James.

With a little help from a nosey Aunt Rosita and Mama Garcia, the two decide the best way to move forward is simple: a fake relationship.

But what happens when something fake gets to be too real and FAME gets involved?

 

 

One-Night Stand-In – T. Gephart

Sarah Madison loved working at Tate & Cane Enterprises.

While she looked and, for the most part, acted conservatively—she was a gladiator in the boardroom. The fast-paced, energetic work environment not only fed her need for corporate blood but also allowed her to work for one of her role models, Olivia Cane—living proof a woman really can have it all.

And after months of paying her dues, she was finally offered the promotion she’d been vying for. Which was great, except for the fact she had to share the position with a new guy they brought in especially for the role.

Kyle Drake was smart, experienced, and probably just as good, if not better, in negotiations. And if she wasn’t careful, prove he could do the job without her. Add in good-looking and an incredibly sexy smooth talker, and everyone in the office either wanted to be him or sleep with him. Which Sarah could have totally ignored if he hadn’t been the stranger she’d married in Vegas during a fake ceremony six months earlier.

He was supposed to be her one-night stand, a stand-in for a ceremony that wasn’t even legally binding. They were never even going to see each other again. Hell, she apparently hadn’t even known his real last name at the time. It was the only time she’d ever done something completely reckless and spontaneous.

It figured that one time would come back and bite her where it hurt.

 

 

THE RUN IN – KELLY ELLIOTT

Becoming the new Marketing Manager at Tate and Cane was a game changer. I was hell bent on proving I deserved this job, and that it wasn’t my cousin Sterling Quinn who had helped me score the new job title. Him being one of the CEO’s best friend—didn’t help the rumors.

Well screw that.

Ten years of sweat and hard work was the reason I was sitting in a large corner office with a killer Manhattan view. More focused than I’d ever been, it was time to take the bull by the horns.

And God help the person who stood in in my way.

********

Things I left behind in Seattle, Washington: A promising career at a top marking firm, the past I was desperate to escape, and obviously my sense of direction. It was because of all of those reasons I was standing in the middle of New York City lost and cursing at my phone.

If I didn’t get to Tate and Cane soon, I wouldn’t only be late, but also blow the chance to make the good impression on my new boss, Mason Quinn. And I needed that more than anything.

One wrong turn, an unfortunate collision, and an expensive suit drenched in my soy chia tea latte was not how I wanted to start my first day.

Then there was the other little problem I had. The drop dead gorgeous man whose suit I’d ruined was my new boss.

And boy did he look pissed.

 

TIED BY KIM KARR

I was rich, single, and connected, which meant a steady diet of beautiful women wherever I went.

I really did think I had the perfect life.

Until I went and married a supermodel I’d just met, and everything changed.

Of course there were choices. But the word annulment meant giving her up, and I never give up anything. Still, I was a bachelor at heart, and having a wife, well, I didn’t really know what to do with that.

After only forty-eight hours of marriage, I had already gone and screwed everything up.

Now I have thirty days to prove to my new wife that I’m husband material. There’s only one problem—I don’t even know what husband material means. However, I’m certain that won’t stop me from excelling at it.

My wife tells me it isn’t going to be easy. That I have numerous issues to overcome.

First, there’s my jealousy. It needs to be tamed. Did I flip over the fact that her latest picture was causing men around the world to do dirty things all over the covers she graced? Hell, yes. I couldn’t help myself though. When her photo went viral, my caveman instincts kicked in, and I demanded she quit her job and stay home—barefoot and pregnant in my kitchen. I can work on that, right?

Then there’s my mother. I need to convince her that my new wife is not the money hungry floozy she called her. Did my mother actually call her that? Yes. I can’t help it that my mother wants me to get rid of my new wife. The problem is what my mother wants, she always gets one way or another. Still, turning my mother’s opinion around can’t be that hard, can it?

There are many other issues, but according to my new wife, those are minor compared to the biggest one—she says I will never be able to accept being tied down.

Don’t worry—I got this one. I intend to prove to her in no uncertain terms that being tied up, down, or horizontal is just what this Upper East Sider needs.

 

 

Battle of the Sexes Adriana Locke

Carver Jones’ partner at Jones + Gallum had to step down for medical reasons. He’s absolutely devastated. He swears. Just ignore his cheeky grin, okay?

When word reaches his fancy corner office that Gallum is replacing himself with his daughter, Amity, Carver is ecstatic.

For real this time.

Jones squashes men in the business industry flat. A woman? Pfst. He’ll be completely in charge in no time, doing whatever he wants. He’s so ready for this.

But is he ready to fight the hardest fight of his life? No, not the one to maintain control of his company. The one to keep control of his heart.

The battle may begin in the boardroom, but the war will definitely be won in the bedroom. May the best sex win.

 

 

 

UNSUPERVISED by Cora Kenborn

Niall

A non-existent love life, unstable paycheck, and a six-year-old who’d rather hit boys than books sound more like a cry for help than a dating profile. On paper, it would seem like I need a life coach, but I’ve managed to get a decent grip on the single-dad thing. My love life, on the other hand, is an entirely different story. With my sexy Irish accent, I should have women of all ages losing their minds, but I seem to attract only a certain type—crazy.

The last thing I want is a new relationship, but I need a date for my company’s charity function. A chance meeting with a tall, leggy blonde who looks like she could use a night out is the perfect solution. Beautiful, sane, and she has a kid? We have a winner.

I didn’t count on Laken being unforgettable. Unlike all the other fake women I’ve met in this city, she’s real. And if there’s one thing I value more than anything, it’s honesty.

Laken

I didn’t bust my ass in college to be a nanny. Unfortunately, a 4.0 GPA and sucking up to the owner’s sister did nothing to secure a coveted Tate & Cane Enterprises internship. I’m not proud of being a nanny-for-hire to get my foot in the door, but my wealthy socialite employer has the ears of company executives. Swallowing my pride, I do what I need to—until an afternoon at the park changes everything.

I don’t mean to let him think Preston is my kid, but he just assumes. This isn’t me. I’m not a liar. Although his panty-melting accent does unspeakable things to me, I should set the record straight. There’s only one problem. Niall is a freelance photographer for Tate & Cane and invites me to a company event as his plus-one. He’s my “in.”

If I can hold on to this charade long enough, I can get the job and the man of my dreams. I’m winging this completely unsupervised. Game on.

 

TWISTED by Mandi Beck

Three friends walk into a bar . . . One walks out the fake girlfriend of a hot, bearded Scotsman.

Fannin McGuire is up for promotion at Tate and Cane Enterprises, but first she has to make it through her stepsister’s wedding. To Fannin’s ex. Yep. Her ex-fiancé is about to be her new brother-in-law. One big happy family. And lucky her, she also gets to work with him.

While Fannin is putting all of her energy into her career, her ex is putting all of his energy into making her life hell. Just when Fannin is sure she’ll be attending the wedding without a plus one, in walks Jasper James to save the day. He’s the bartender at the Iron Flask, the account she’s trying to land, and everything she didn’t know she needed or wanted. Before Fannin knows what’s happening, Jasper is playing knight in shining armor and she likes it. And him. A lot. With his smooth Scottish accent, ridiculously good looks, and that beard? She doesn’t stand a chance.

Jasper isn’t in the habit of rescuing anyone. But when Fannin is confronted by her ex about her lack of a date for his upcoming nuptials, Jasper can’t help but step in. Her wild hair, violet eyes, and killer legs have him doing a few things he normally wouldn’t. Never mind that he shouldn’t be getting involved with the woman in charge of making the bar a global success.

Their fake relationship becomes more real than either thought it would. Now they’re at the mercy of their feelings when truths are twisted, and the lies don’t taste as smooth as the whisky.

 

CHEEKY by Natasha Madison

Bradley Fitch has it all. A suave job, a gigantic trust fund, and an accent that makes panties drop faster than the speed of light. His new life in New York City is fast-paced and furious, but it’s nothing a little getaway can’t cure.

What says party and unwind like Las Vegas? Nothing. Plus, whatever happens there has to stay there.

When his best friend bails, he finds himself sitting on the plane next to his best friend’s sister.

She’s off-limits—proverbial caution tape wrapped around her body. Of course, she’s also totally ball busting gorgeous.

Lexi Quinn fell in love with Bradley at eight years old and then vowed to kill him at eight and a half. What was supposed to be a romantic week away is turning into a nightmare. Her ex is actually married, her luggage is lost, and her reservation is cancelled. And she’s sitting next to the man she swore to hate forever

One week. No strings attached. What is the worst that could happen?

It’s all fun and games till this British bad boy gives new meaning to BBC and becomes a little bit too cheeky.

I wanted this, and I had no idea what had come over me. Maybe it was part of being on the run, but I wanted to sin. Wanted him to make me forget everything—my past, my mistakes…hell, even my own damn name.

 

This latest standalone by Kendall Ryan is packed full of panty melting steam and is simply an incredibly fun read. I couldn’t get enough of Luke and Charlotte. If you love a good “opposites attract/enemies to lovers” romance, then this one is sure to please you!!

Charlotte Freemont is a New York socialite who is on the run from the life that was mapped out for her by her family and her need to please her parents, who never seemed to have much interest in their daughter. Never could she have guessed that she would find her place in life in a small southern town in Texas, called Shady Grove. When her expensive sports car breaks down in Shady Grove, she is forced to spend a week there while she waits for the local mechanic to fix her car. She runs into a drop dead gorgeous but utterly annoying man and his identical twin while having lunch at the local diner. Both Luke and Charlotte jump to the wrong conclusions about each other based on preconceived stereotypes but when given the chance to spend some time together, they realize just how wrong their first impressions were.

 

 

Even though they’re practically at each other’s throats, in the beginning, neither of them can deny the building attraction between them. And soon they realize there is no amount of self-control that can keep them apart. Knowing that Charlotte’s time in Shady Grove is coming to a quick end, they both decide to just have some fun and wildly decadent sex with each other. Charlotte is bound for Los Angeles to start her new life and Luke isn’t about to get his heart broken by another woman who will eventually leave him behind.

Ultimately keeping things casual proves to be quite the challenge when they both start to realize that they fit like two missing pieces to a puzzle. Will secrets and past heartbreaks ruin their chance at an HEA? Or will Charlotte and Luke put their hearts on the line and risk it all for a once in a lifetime kind of love?

Fans of Kendall Ryan are in for a real treat with this one! And if you’ve never read anything by this author, then I highly recommend that you one-click when SEXY STRANGER releases on May 23rd!

REVIEW – THE HOUSE MATE (Roommates #3) by Kendall Ryan

SYNOPSIS

What’s sexier than a bad boy? A bad ass man who’s got his shit together.

Max Alexander is nearing thirty-five. He’s built a successful company, and he’s conquered the professional world, but he’s never been lucky in love. Focusing so much time on his business and raising his daughter, adulting has come at the expense of his personal life.

His social skills are shit, his patience is shot, and at times, his temper runs hot.

The last thing he has time for is the recently single, too gorgeous for her own good young woman he hires to take care of his little girl. She’s a distraction he doesn’t need, and besides, there’s no way she’d be interested. But you know what they say about assumptions?

This is book 3 in the Roommates series, but each can be read as a complete standalone, as they feature new couples.

*****Patty’s Review*****

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

My whole life, I’d never known I could love another person this completely. Suddenly, in a matter of less than two months, I’d found two people who had become integral to my happiness…vital to making my world right.

Those of you who love romances with a single father should really enjoy this latest installment of THE ROOMMATES series by Kendall Ryan. So far I have to admit I’ve truly enjoyed each book in this series. You know how sometimes a series of standalones comes out and some of the books are “hits” while the others are “misses”? Well, I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how much I’ve enjoyed reading every story so far.

Max Alexander is an ex-army ranger and currently owns a very successful construction company. Max is thirty-five and enjoys his bachelor life. He has no intention of complicating things by getting involved in a serious relationship, but sometimes life throws you an unexpected curveball. When Max’s ex-girlfriend shows up on his doorstep, after having not seen her for about a year, she brings with her an unexpected gift – a cute little one-year-old daughter, named Dylan. He’s completely horrified when she dumps Dylan on Max and proclaims that she just can’t do it anymore. Somehow, the little girl tugs at his heartstrings immediately and Max is taking his new role as a father very seriously.

He decides to hire a live-in nanny and when the two first meet, there is no denying the instant attraction they both feel. Addison Lane is a young woman who is in need of a change in her life. Having just gotten out of a serious relationship in which she put her career on hold to work at her boyfriend’s café, Addison is not only looking for a new job, but also a place to live. When she stumbles across Max’s ad for a live-in nanny, she feels like it was just meant to be. She’s definitely knocked for a loop when she meets the handsome and single father who is to possibly be her new employer. When she gets the job both Addison and Max internally promise themselves that they will keep things strictly professional between them. Somehow that proves to be an almost impossible promise to keep.

THE HOUSE MATE is currently available!

I was falling, and I was falling hard. I could only hope Evie felt the same and that, soon enough, we’d come up with a way to tell her brother. A way that wouldn’t drive us all apart and ruin everything.

The Roommates series is turning out to be one of my favorites by Kendall Ryan. THE PLAY MATE is sure to become a HIT! This second installment focuses on the ”romance with the older brother’s best friend” trope, and boy did it have a healthy dose of steam and almost painful build up to the schmexy!!

Evie Reed has a plan. Her one and only sexual encounter with a college boyfriend had been a huge disappointment. She wants a “do over”, and Evie wants it to be with her secret crush, Smith Hamilton. He’s been a permanent fixture in her life since her early childhood years. Smith was like a second older brother when she was growing up until she reached her teenage years, and then he became the star of her naughty fantasies. While in Paris, she meets up with her brother and Smith to go over a business proposition. Evie’s family owns a lingerie company and it’s in need of a financial backer, which ends up being Smith. Evie plans to seduce Smith after the meeting, are ruined when he turns in for the night earlier than expected. Little does she know that he’s been having the same feelings for her and his desire for her that night was driving him insane. To avoid doing something he would regret, he chose to sequester himself in his hotel room.

Evie is not willing to give up on her plans of seduction. She ends up fooling the concierge into believing that she is Smith’s wife and is given the key to his room. While he’ sleeping she crawls into bed with him and let’s just say, she wakes him up in a way that sets him on fire. It’s pitch black in his room and he just assumed she was the woman who gave him her number at the bar that night. They are having the most erotic night of their lives until Smith realizes that it’s Evie that is laying beneath him on his bed. The brakes are put on almost instantly. Smith is stunned and a bit angry with Evie, while she is left feeling painfully embarrassed. They promise to keep that night a secret and go back to being “friends”. The only problem with that plan is now they will be working together, Monday through Friday, and how are they going to keep things platonic when they’re both so strongly attracted to each other? How will they be able to hide their feelings from Evie’s brother?

No matter how hard Smith tries to fight his feelings for Evie, it’s of no use. That night in Paris plays on repeat through his mind and being close to her every day is wearing his defenses down. So he suggests that they start spending time together to see what it is that is between them. The deal is that they are to get to know each other but SEX is not an option! This, as you can only imagine, will become a pain point for both Smith and Evie, and I’m not going to lie, it drove me crazy as well. I thought I was going to die from waiting for it to finally happen between them!! A part of the reason Smith took his time with Evie was because of his friendship with her and her brother. But mostly he has huge abandonment issues, having grown up in the foster care system and being adopted during his later childhood years.

Whether you’re a fan of Kendall Ryan or have yet to read one of her books, you are in for quite a treat! I mean who doesn’t love this trope?! The slow build up to the steam is definitely agonizing but so worth the wait once it finally happens!

*****Mel’s Review*****

5 Stars!

 

 

Everleigh Reed aka Evie is a 22 yr. old woman who grew up in Chicago with a great family. She recently graduated college and toured Europe. Now ready to head back home she’s spending her last days in Paris where she will be joined by her brother Cullen & his best friend Smith. Smith Hamilton is Evie’s older brother’s hot, off limits best friend. She’s wanted him for as long as she can remember. Growing up he was always so kind to her. Now they are both adults & he’s smart, sinfully gorgeous, educated and wealthy. He’s always had this sexy, wounded alpha male thing going on, & Evie’s still crushing hard on him. She wants him to see her as the adult she is. She’s never had a man rock her world in bed, & she wants a hot tryst. She has just the man in mind. The one she’s always desired. She knows what she wants, has a plan, & is going for it. She’ll seduce Smith & he won’t know what hit him. She’s in the city of romance and figures it’s her perfect chance.

 

Smith Hamilton lives in Chicago & runs part of his family’s business. He’s just arrived in Paris to talk business with his best friend Cullen Reed. Cullen has been like a brother to him since they were six. Cullen owns his family’s lingerie company called Sophia’s & has asked Smith to come on temporarily to help with numbers. Smith would never let Cullen down. Smith & Cullen meet up with Evie. Smith hasn’t seen Cullen’s little sister in about a year, & she’s no longer the little girl he remembered, but a beautiful, blonde bombshell. She’s absolutely stunning & tests his self-control every time she gets close to him. His body wants her desperately, but he’d never act on it. She is the one woman he can never have.

 

 

Evie is all grown up & wants to play. She wanted to have Smith just once. She comes up with a plan & breaks into his hotel room and crawls into his bed with him. Things turn intimate & then don’t go exactly as Evie planned. She returns to Chicago feeling like her attempt with Smith was an utter failure. Smith returns home trying to forget what happened in Paris. He keeps fantasizing about Evie & can’t quit thinking about her. He hoped with some time & space he’d get past it, but when she shows up at the office it’s pure torture being around her & not being able to have her. He tries to keep her at arm’s length & control his attraction to her, but things have changed.

 

-“I feel different about you than I’ve ever felt before.”

-This might have been about sex when I started, but it had grown into something more. I didn’t want just sex like I’d initially thought. No, I wanted a man. And the man I wanted was Smith.

 

Smith hasn’t ever been a relationship guy. He’s never let a woman get too close. If he was with Evie things couldn’t be casual. He could never hurt her. Too much is at stake. He was in foster care as a child & met the Reed’s after being adopted. He still remembers what it was like to have no one & doesn’t want to mess up the relationships he has with the family that means everything to him. The Reed’s had always accepted him.

Smith & Evie can’t fight the chemistry & connection they feel, & begin spending time together as friends. He pulls back so they can figure out what’s between them. Evie makes him feel like a teenager again & he’s falling fast for her. They laugh, make each other happy & can be themselves. What they share is special, but with Smith risk, it all to have her? Can he explain things to her brother without tearing them apart?
