IOU by Kristy Marie

Maverick's woman is a mystery to him, "...and a stuffed—is that a sea lion? What the eff is she doing with a stuffed sea lion?"  Maverick's got jokes, “I’m teasing. I’m using you as a shield in case Pops wants to smack me. He won’t with you in front of me.” Those big blue eyes go wide. “I’m joking,” I tell her. “He won’t smack me. He’ll wait until you’re distracted to whisper yell in my ear.” I liked this book, I loved Maverick.

Road to Fire by Maria Luis

Release Date: April 30

It’s dark, it’s gritty, and there’s a pretty good chance it’s the royal romance you never even realized that you wanted. Your new anti-hero obsession is almost here—do you think you can handle Saxon Priest?

“I’m not scared of you.”

I meet her gaze. “You should be.”

Bound by a secret oath spanning generations, I am loyal to no one but the queen.

Spy.

Defender of the Crown.

To all of England, I’m Saxon Priest. Traitor. Murderer. Owner of London’s most infamous anti-loyalist pub.

And then she appears.

            

Isla Quinn may claim that she’s only looking to buss tables, but I’m no fool. Bitterness bleeds from her hard-blue eyes, and her hatred for the queen is so palpable, I can practically taste it off every sharp-tongued word slipping from her full mouth.

“Hire me,” she begs.

We’re on opposite sides of this war. Enemies from the start.

Isla thought she found an ally, but she’s found me instead.

Savage.

Ruthless.

A man with no heart, no matter how the dead space inside my chest lurches whenever she’s near.

And so I lean over, dragging her deep into this twisted game of crowns and thrones, and offer a single vow: “I could use you.”

REVIEW:
Isla is a ball of sass, "holding my stare, she murmurs, “I don’t do pets either. The human variety or the four-legged kind.” sometimes Saxon tends to have a one track mind, "a small grin tugs at my mouth. “Anything else you want to see before I drag you back to bed?” I liked Saxon, I can't wait to see what goes on in the rest of the series.

Arctic Bite by N.J. Walters

Alexei is a typical man when a pretty woman shows interest, "now her eyes did widen slightly, and she ran her gaze over his body. “I guess there’s a lot of you to fill.” He barely resisted the urge to puff out his chest" Alexei holds nothing back, “let’s have ***?” God, she loved how blunt he was." I liked this book, I loved Alexei.

Rex just keeps those compliments coming, “— that your weirdness was charming. Calm down, don’t get all p***y. I still think you’re cute, even if you’re a temperamental little thing.” I liked this book, I loved seeing Rex in a different light.

Lovewrecked by Karina Halle

From New York Times bestselling author Karina Halle comes a sexy new standalone romantic comedy about getting stuck on a deserted island with a man you hate to love and love to hate.

Lovewrecked is LIVE!

Daisy Lewis is experiencing a relentless string of bad luck.

Fortunately, Daisy has her sister’s destination wedding coming up. A week of sand, sea, and sun in the South Pacific as the maid-of-honor is exactly what Daisy needs to forget her upturned life and focus on the positive.

That is until Daisy meets the best man.

If you take tall, dark, and handsome, and add a dash of rugged, a pinch of brooding, and a whole lot of sexy, you’ve got Tai Wakefield. Unfortunately he’s also a major grump, total alpha, and seemingly out to antagonize Daisy at every turn.

As if being part of the wedding party with Tai wasn’t bad enough, Daisy’s bad luck soon resurfaces when she ends up on a cramped sailboat with Tai and the newlyweds.

Which then shipwrecks on a deserted island near Fiji.

Okay, so they aren’t completely alone. There’s an oddball research scientist who has been isolated for far too long, they have rundown bungalows as shelter, stores of water and canned food, plus a feral goat named Wilson. It’s Lost…without the smoke monster.

But with rescue weeks away, Tai and Daisy realize the only way they’re going to get through this mess is to stop fighting and start working together.

And with their guards down, they get closer.

A lot closer.

Soon, Daisy realizes that the only thing worse than being stuck on a deserted island, is being stuck on a deserted island with a man she hates to love and loves to hate.

A man that can break her heart.

REVIEW:
Daisy sometimes gets all flabbergasted, “you know perfectly well that your, uh, that it’s comparable.” A dark brow arches." Tai really thinks highly of himself, or he's just cocky, “I think it’s been doing you a world of good. I’d go so far as to say you’re pretty much insatiable. Been thirsting for it for weeks now.” I liked this book, I adored Tai.

CUTIE AND THE BEAST by M.E. Carter

Welcome back to Weight Expectations, where the unexpected is likely to happen.

Cutie and the Beast, an all-new roommates-to-lovers romantic comedy from M.E. Carter, is now available in Kindle Unlimited!

Living with her mother seemed like a good idea at the time. But Elliott Donovan’s living arrangements are not working for her anymore. Desperate to get back on her financial feet after a divorce and out from under her mother’s thumb, Elliott takes a job in the child care center at Weight Expectations, a local gym.

It has everything she needs – family friendly hours, more pay than she expected, and a super cute trainer who just happens to have part of his house for rent.

Abel DiSoto was living the good life until his wife walked out taking half of the family income with her. The blow to his ego was bad enough, but after a fire at the gym scattered Abel’s clients, and consequently his commissions, he’s stuck figuring out how to make ends meet, too. Renting out the master suite of his house to his new co-worker seems like an easy solution. They’re both mature adults, they both have eight-year-old daughters, and their work schedules coordinate so they can lend each other a helping hand to ease the burden of single parenthood.

The only downside? Living like a blended family when you’re not actually a family can present some challenges.

Welcome back to Weight Expectations, where the unexpected is likely to happen.

‘Cutie and the Beast’ is a full-length contemporary romantic comedy, can be read as a standalone, and is book #3 in the Cipher Office series, Knitting in the City World, Penny Reid Book Universe.

REVIEW:
Abel must be the logical one, “it’s not a far stretch. You’re hot. I’m hot. We came here with our kids. Who wouldn’t think we’re together?” Elliot has no filter, “what do you think of oral?” I choke on my bite of ice cream, completely caught off guard by Elliot’s candor." I liked this book, I liked Abel.

Excerpt

In my haste to not be late, I barrel right into a woman coming through the front door. Grabbing her arms to steady her from falling, I apologize profusely. “I’m sorry! I didn’t see you. Are you all right?” Smiling tightly, the blonde isn’t thrilled a random stranger practically ran her over. But she’s polite anyway. “I’ll be fine.” “Are you sure? You aren’t hurt?” I don’t think she is, but sometimes I don’t know my own strength. This time her smile is a little more genuine. “I’m sure. You sure are in a rush.” Letting go of her arms, I feel like she needs an explanation other than me racing around like an idiot. “I’m the one parent who has a tendency to be late for school pickup. The lady at the front desk gives me a nasty evil glare if she has to call me.” This woman, whose name I still haven’t bothered to ask, laughs and I’m struck by how cute she is. She’s definitely a few years older than I am, but not by much. There’s nothing about her that necessarily stands out in a crowd, but her smile is genuine. This is a woman who likes to laugh and have fun. I always gravitate toward those people, which gives me a fleeting thought: I should have noticed my ex-wife hardly ever smiled for real. Laughing was even rarer unless it was at someone else’s expense. Those should have been easy indicators she wasn’t the one for me. “Parker Elementary?” the blonde asks. “Yeah.” I give her a quizzical look. “How did you know?” “Do not mess with Ms. Alexander’s routine. She will cut a bitch.” My laugh comes easily, and I find myself hoping this woman is a new member. She’s funny. I love it when clients have a sense of humor. Offering her my hand, I introduce myself. “I’m Abel. Trainer here at Weight Expectations and father of Mabel in second grade.” She places her cold hand in mine. “Elliott. Interviewee for the childcare position and mother of Ainsley, also in second grade.” “Ah! Well it’s nice to meet you. Fingers crossed I’ll see you here later as a fellow employee. And if not here, at Parker Elementary as a fellow parent. Hopefully not in Ms. Alexander’s line of sight.” Elliott holds up her gloved hands and crosses her fingers around each other. “Wish me luck. Now run fast.”

About M.E. Carter

My name is M.E. Carter and I have no idea how I ended up writing books. I’m more of a story teller (the more exaggerated the better) and I happen to know people who helped me get those stories on paper. I love reading (read almost 200 books last year), hate working out (but I do it anyway because my trainer makes me), love food (but hate what it does to my butt) and love traveling to non-touristy places most people never see. I live in Houston with my four kids, Mary, Elizabeth, Carter and Bug, who was just a twinkle in my eye when I came up with my pen name. Yeah, I’ll probably have to pay for his therapy someday for being left out.

Immortal Angel by Lynsay Sands

G.G. tries to do right by his woman, “better yet, I will make the hot chocolate while you change into something . . .” Grimacing, he said, “Just go put some clothes on or talking won’t be what we do.” The man sometimes has a one track mind, “I love your body too,” he added, his hands sliding up to cup her breasts. “You should always greet me naked.” I liked this book, I loved G.G.

Counting On Cole by Cynthia Eden

Cole isn't one to sidestep things, “boyfriend. Partner.” Cole shrugged. “The guy who makes her scream at night.” I liked this book, I loved how possessive Cole was.

Riot House by Callie Hart

When is just so full of himself, “shame.” Wren lets his head fall back; he looks up at me with a lazy, self-assuredness that makes me so angry I want to cry. “If you were, we’d have dispensed with this b*****t and effed already.” I liked this book, I adored Wren and I loved how saucy Elodie was.

Wrong Turn by Samantha Chase

Drew can move real quick when he wants to, “naked,” she finally said. “You really should be naked.” She never saw a man move as fast as Drew whipping his boxer briefs off." Sometimes Chelsea had to set her man straight, “actually, Skipper was Barbie’s sister. Midge was a friend.” I liked this book, I liked Drew.

REVIEW:

Knox really is a sucker for his woman, “sit down. I need to clean you up.” To everyone’s surprise, he reluctantly listens." Knox had so  many layers, I loved seeing them peeled back and and it was Laney who brought out those layers, “not even a little. Eff, Bambi , I’ve always been so effing gone for you.” I liked this book, I loved Knox.

RELEASE REVIEW: Heartless King by 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

Blurb

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!

Colm sometimes needs to be reminded to put on clothes, “as much as I’m sure they wouldn’t mind, you might want to put on a shirt first.” I liked this book, I loved Colm

Excerpt

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.”
