  • Cover Reveal of C.A. Harm’s Whisper Forever

    Posted on by Karen Comment

     

    I wanted to forget him so many times. Erase the memories we shared and pretend he didn’t exist. It would have made his absence easier to accept.
    Lucas Rivers broke my heart more than once. In my world he was my guy, the one I’d grow old with and laugh with. But things aren’t that simple, and time changes everything.
    That naive girl with dreams of happily-ever-afters was gone. I didn’t need a man to complete me. I was enough—no, I was more than enough.  I was strong and determined. I was Madelyn Emery, and never again would a boy break my heart.
    But the moment Lucas returned after four years, acting like we could pick up where we left off, that strength inside me shifted. The more I tried to ignore his efforts, the harder he fought.
    How can one simple word whispered by one man mean so very much?

    “Forever.”

    I love HEA stories, as long as they come packing a little heat. I need some excitement, some angst, and moments that make me fan my face are always good too. I am an Illinois girl, born and raised. Simple and true, it honestly doesn’t take much to make me happy. I love the little things; they truly mean the most. I may have a slight addiction to my new Keurig—oh my, that thing is a godsend. And so fast too. I have two children who truly are my very best friends, and their faces never fail to put a smile on my face. I have been married to my husband for sixteen years, and even though at times I want to beat him with a stick, I would never change the years we have had. We have learned and fallen, only to pick each other up, dust off the ache, and help each other make it right. 
    I am one of those authors that adore my fans. I love to hear from you. After all, it is because of each one of you that I continue to write. I look forward to your feedback.

  • Worship Me by Chelle Bliss

    Posted on by Karen Comment

    Love!!!! I mean how can you not love a book that takes us back into the world of Inked with the Gallo family!  I feel like I got to catch up with some old friends and family for a while.  Even got to go on an adventure.   Whew and what adventures they were!!!!  Hot scenes will keep you sweating on the beach or keep you worm at night.  James is totally Yum with the capital “y”!  I love Izzy’s brattiness and the love she has for her whole family.  

    I cannot wait to visit the Gallos soon!

    James Caldo needs to control everything in his life, even his wife, Izzy Gallo. But she’s headstrong and has a need to test her husband’s limits as much as he pushes hers.

    When a case at ALFA Private Investigation takes a dark turn,

    James is forced to get Izzy involved in an undercover sting, and the assignment will test her sexual boundaries as well as the very foundation of their relationship.

    Can Izzy hold her tongue long enough to keep them both safe?

    Or will her unwillingness to fully submit draw the eye of the very man they’re after?

  • False Start by Sloan Johnson

    False Start (Wilmington Breakers, #2)False Start by Sloan Johnson
    My rating: 5 of 5 stars

    Down by Contact told the love story of Zack and Griffin. This book kind of overlaps it. This is the story of Nixon and Lincoln.

    Nixon, like many people do when hurt, ran away from the one who hurt him. However, I can’t blame Lincoln for what he said and did, he was confused on so many levels. He had to accept himself before he could ever give his heart to someone.

    Patrick bring the reality of what can happen to the players in football. You WILL cry. No and, if , or buts about it. Very emotional and had me tearing up.

    I think that The Wilmington Breakers will be one of my favorite football series.

  • Bayside Desires by Melissa Foster

    Posted on by Karen Comment

    This is the book to take with you to the beach this summer.  This post is being posted on Mother’s Day, and I have to say that it is very appropriate that if it wasn’t for Desiree’s colorful, yet wayward mother, Rick would have never made Desiree wet that fateful day at the beach.  Get your mind out of the gutter!!!! LOL  Very touching story of falling in love, finding your place in the world, and finding the missing pieces  of your soul.

    Desiree and her sister is a really touching storyline.  I really want to see a book about Violet.  I want to see who wins her heart.  I guess I will have to tie myself over with Emery’s story instead! 

    Synopsis

    Fall in love at Bayside, where sandy beaches, good friends, and true love come together in the sweet small towns of Cape Cod.

    BAYSIDE SUMMERS is a series of standalone steamy romance novels featuring alpha male heroes and sexy, empowered women. They’re fun, flirty, flawed, deeply emotional, always passionate, and easy to relate to.

    “With her wonderful characters and resonating emotions, Melissa Foster is a must-read author!” -NYT Bestseller Julie Kenner

    “Melissa Foster is synonymous with sexy, swoony, heartfelt romance!” -NYT Bestseller Lauren Blakely

    In Bayside Desires…
    As the co-owner of Bayside Resorts, Rick Savage has a fabulous job working with his best friends and brother, and a thriving business in Washington, DC, which he’ll be returning to at the end of the summer. Spending time with his family is great, but being back on Cape Cod has unearthed painful memories. When sweet, smart, and overly cautious Desiree Cleary moves in next door, Rick is drawn to the sexy preschool teacher, and she just might prove to be the perfect distraction.

    Running an art gallery was not in preschool teacher Desiree Cleary’s plans, but after being tricked into coming to her impetuous, unreliable mother’s aid, she’s stuck spending the summer with the badass half sister she barely knows and a misbehaving dog. If that’s not frustrating enough, she can’t escape the sparks igniting with her strikingly handsome and pushy neighbor, Rick, who makes all her warning bells go off.

    Passion ignites as Desiree and Rick spend long summer nights sharing heartfelt confessions and steamy kisses. For the first time in years Rick is enjoying life again instead of hiding behind mounds of work miles away from his family. Desiree has touched him in a way that makes him want to slow down. Only slowing down means dealing with his demons, and he isn’t sure who he’ll be when he comes out the other side.

    All Bayside books can be read as standalone novels or as part of the series:

  • Choices and Changes

    Posted on by Karen Comment

     

    If you read Hide & Seek, you know the touching love story of Dusty and David.  We are also introduced to Dusty’s dad, Dean.  We were introduced to Dr. Adam Chase in a previous All Cocks book as well.  We caught a glimpse into Dean and Adam’s relationship, but never got the full story.  This is there full story and wow.  Loved it.  All of our favorite characters appear in this book.  But the love story of Dean and Adam is front and center here.
    You will cry, know that now.  There are losses that will definitely have you cry.  There is a lot of passion, love and just a lovely sense of family.  A book to add to your TBR now! 

     There comes a time in every man’s life where he has to make a choice between what is right and what is easy. 

    Born and raised in Fort Worth Texas by open-minded parents, Dean Anderson realized early in life he was attracted to both sexes. Equal opportunity, he picked his lovers based on personality and common interests. He met Maggie in college, fell in love, got married and started a family. And they were happy…until they weren’t. 

    Adam Chase’s mother is South African, his father American military working at the US Embassy in Pretoria, South Africa. His parents’ positions in the South African and American governments awarded Adam dual citizenship, and he attended University in America, at Berkley. In America, Adam is lives openly as a gay man, something that could get him killed in his mother’s home country. He met his husband, Patrick Carter, at college and they too were happy…until Patrick died. 

    Two lives converge, and it would seem fate is giving them each a second chance at happiness, together. Dean stays in New York and moves into the apartment his son, Dusty, shares with his boyfriend David. He and Adam are quickly welcomed into All Cocks’ vastly growing family. And then one phone call changes everything. 

    The men of All Cocks learn that death is just another part of life, a road everyone travels eventually. Choices are made, decisions that change their lives irrevocably. They rally together, drawing strength from each other as their close-knit family experiences the best and worst life has to offer. But that’s what families do, right?
