Erin Noelle is bringing us a Romantic Comedy!
Get ready for Finley and Teague – and find out if she slaps him or rings his MEGABALLS!
I’ve got 99 problems but money ain’t one. Though a sister with cotton candy for brains, a spatula-wielding six-year-old niece with a British accent, and the mysterious businessman who left me that damn ticket are all currently vying for the top spot.
When I became the sole winner of a $270 million Megaball jackpot, thanks to a sexy stranger who left a lottery ticket instead of paying for his meal, my entire world flipped upside-down.
Now, with money-sucking vultures, douchebags by the dozens, and a horde of total hotties just waiting to get their mangy paws on my newfound fortune, I set out to locate the man who gifted me the winning ticket–to properly thank him.
However, when I finally find the cocky, self-absorbed business tycoon, Teague Goodman, I’m not sure whether I want to slap him… or ring his MEGABALLS.

Becoming a goaltender in the NHL is the only thing I ever wanted for myself.
Goal accomplished.
Two years ago, I was the best goalie in the league, for the third time. With our Stanley Cup win, the Austin Arrows were on top of the world. Nothing could possibly bring us down.
Wrong.
Turns out, even when you’re at the top, you can find yourself back at rock bottom.
But it gets worse.
Not only did the team fall from grace, then I did too. I was accused of something I didn’t do. And now I’m being forced to repair my tarnished reputation.
Only I don’t know how to do that.
When the suggestion is made for me to pull off this ruse for the media, I know what I’m getting into. I also know there’s only one right answer.
But it’s complicated, and I’m not the only one who could get hurt.
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Nicole Edwards lives in Austin, Texas with her husband, their three kids, and four rambunctious dogs. When she’s not writing about sexy alpha males, Nicole can often be found with her Kindle in hand or making an attempt to keep the dogs happy. You can find her hanging out on Facebook and interacting with her readers – even when she’s supposed to be writing.
Nicole also writes contemporary/new adult romance as Timberlyn Scott.
That was the motto that Drew lived by in all things, including his love life.
He’s a player, pure and simple.
He’s learned the hard way that women aren’t all hearts and flowers. Sometimes their sexy bodies and beautiful faces are just a pretty shield to hide the crazy, and he’s so freakin’ over crazy.
Been there, done that. He has the divorce papers to prove it.
Karma hits like a bitch.
Aspen needs a break. A long one that doesn’t include anything with a Y chromosome. Not even one as tempting as her new neighbor who just moved in across the street. Men are trouble with a capital freakin’ T, and she has the ankle monitor to prove it.
The last man she gave her heart to was a police officer. A man whose life was dedicated to protection, and he was supposed to protect her heart—not break it.
She decides right then and there that she’s done with being the better person.
Everything happens for a reason.
A rash decision—undoubtedly regrettable, undeniably unforgettable. In the heat of the moment, Aspen’s actions with a tire iron and her ex-boyfriend’s brand new SUV land him in the ER getting stitches and have her seeing the inside of a jail cell for the first time.
It’s just her luck that the whole town is there to witness the result of her poor decision, including her police officer brother and the neighbor that already made it more than clear she was more trouble than she was worth.
House arrest never looked so good.
Hide your crazy.
Drew enjoyed the show, though. For the first time in a year, he’s thinking about his life, and how it would be a lot more enjoyable with a woman like Aspen at his side.
Maybe crazy isn’t so bad after all.
I slammed my fingers down on the keyboard, insanely annoyed that I now had to tell how fun the product was, despite the fact that the person I’d had the fun with was a douche bag.
A knock sounded at my door and I turned to glare at it.
“Who is it?” I yelled.
“You know damn well who it is. It’s the same person that’s been knocking at your door for the last twelve hours,” Drew growled.
I shrugged.
“Go away,” I ordered him.
I could hear him sigh through the door.
“In my eyes, the marriage Constance and I had was over,” he started.
I picked up the nearest thing to me, which happened to be a half finished water bottle, and then launched it at the door.
“Go away!”
He left, but not without one last parting comment.
“I still have a few things left in that box that I want to try on you. When you’re ready, let me know.”
I glared at the box he’d just spoken about, and went back to my review.
If you’re looking for a fun, awesome thing to do with your significant other, this is the thing for you. It offers many benefits; but most importantly, it gives you time with your significant other. And, might I add, it’s totally fucking worth it. I’ve used it three times in the last two days. It’s like he’s here.
On a side note, the vibrator is not very proficient. It offers about two hours of battery life before they need replaced.
Not that I used it for two hours or anything.
Oh, who am I kidding?
I would’ve used it longer if I hadn’t run out of batteries.
I know I’m in for a hilarious, chaotic, crazy, and suspenseful read every time I pick up a book by Lani Lynn Vale, and these qualities hold true for Drew and Aspen’s story, Oxygen Deprived.
Aspen finds herself in quite the precarious position when readers meet her at the start of the story. I have to confess, though, I don’t blame her one bit for her actions and the fact that she received the punishment that she did definitely doesn’t fit the crime, and there’s plenty of people who agree with that assessment. Regardless of how others feel, though, she still has to do the time, and she finds quite entertaining ways to fill her days and once she meets her new neighbor, Drew, her days of house arrest become more than tolerable, and she finds herself taking a risk with her heart, even after she told herself she’d never put herself in that position again.
Drew’s had enough with crazy women after the number his ex-wife did on him, but for some reason, the kind of crazy his neighbor brings into his life is one that he can handle and one he actually wants to have around him as much as he can.
There are a lot of outside circumstances that Drew and Aspen have to contend with in order to be together, but it’s almost like a twist of fate brought them together because what they feel for one another and what they’re willing to do for one another is far greater than anything they’ve ever felt before, and because both Drew and Aspen are fighters through and through, they have what it takes to weather the storms that are brought into their relationship, ensuring they’ll always have enough air to breathe as long as they remain together.
I can’t get enough of Lani Lynn Vale’s kickass characters and storylines. There’s never a dull moment in Vale’s books because there always something or someone to deal with, but what I also thoroughly enjoy about her stories is that she balances the heavy issues with comedic scenes and her characters have the best one liners!

4 Poison Apples
I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 5, so I can assure you that they are a handful.
I’ve been with my paramedic husband now for ten years, and we’ve produced three offspring that are nothing like us.
I’ve broken the cardinal rule and fallen in love with my fake wife, and then I went and did the worst thing a husband can do.
Winning her back will be nearly impossible, but I’ve never backed down from a challenge before and I’m sure as hell not about to start now. Olivia will be mine, and I can’t wait to put a bun in her oven.
You won’t want to miss the final installment in Noah and Olivia’s love story, and especially the way this over-the-top alpha male wins over his bride once and for all.
Hitched 3 should actually be renamed Operation: Get Olivia Back because that’s exactly Noah’s quest in the final book of Kendall Ryan’s steamy, sassy, and dramatic series, and it proves that when it comes to love and hate, truth and lies, as well as commitment and sacrifice, Noah and Olivia have a lot to learn from each other and from themselves.
Noah has made a mountain of mistakes when it comes to Olivia and the terms of their inheritance and their fathers’ will and the heir clause. Their whole relationship has traversed through a bevy of emotional tides and both have dealt with the fallout on their own terms – Noah working to prove himself to Olivia and Olivia running away without confronting her feelings for the entire situation. The result of their opposing actions in the first two books places them pretty much at a stalemate when book 3 begins.
It’s amazing how one action can unilaterally change the dynamics of a relationship so much so that there’s no easy fix or apology that could make up for such a monumental mistake, but because Noah has worked so hard to change the type of man he is and to give Olivia every part of himself, it’s clear that Olivia needs to stop overthinking every single move they make and have a little faith in her childhood friend – the boy who always had her back and who she fought battles for as well.
Kendall Ryan’s Hitched series was an absolute pleasure to read. Noah and Olivia as well as their supportive friends made the stories comical as well as dramatic as the married couple works to have more than an obligatory relationship.
I can’t wait to see what sexy read Ryan has for her readers next!

Except he has a huge cock with an even bigger ego, and his main goal in life seems to be getting me to stroke both. The arrogant bastard is like sweet, sugary candy for my libido. I know he’s bad for me.
But I want to devour every wicked inch of him.
With his sexual prowess and experience, I know he’ll be explosive in the bedroom. And since we’re stuck together for the foreseeable future—keeping up this marriage charade long enough to turn the company profitable again—I deserve something to look forward to at the end of a long workday, right?

Fear stops dreams in their tracks before they even have a chance. Then again, so do injuries.
Natalia Grekov was born to win Olympic gold. As the USA’s top gymnast, she’s calm, confident and ready to make her country proud in just two short months. And her elite athlete lifestyle includes no time for distractions—especially men. When a disastrous fall in practice puts her dreams at risk, it seems the only person who can help her is the one person she wants nothing from.
Spencer Russell is gymnastics’ bad boy. A cocky, laid-back charmer with abs of steel and a witty mouth, he waltzes around the U.S. Gymnastics Training Camp like he owns the place—even though he doesn’t anymore. After an injury sidelined his career and any chance at Olympic glory, he’s now just a coach, helping other gymnasts reach their goals. Serious is not a word in Spencer’s vocabulary. But when Natalia tumbles into his life, he’s suddenly sincerely interested in helping the blonde beauty in any way he can.
Can they vault over the obstacles standing in their way? Or will Spencer be the distraction that causes Natalia’s chance at gold to crash and burn?
In gymnastics, a blind landing requires fearlessness, skill, and the ability to trust oneself to complete the vault with both feet still and pressed into the mat.
Natalia Grekov, a premier gymnast, has always been fearless in life and in gymnastics, but when Spencer Russell enters her life and her gym, she questions that bravery not only when she allows her fear of the vault to consume her, but also when Spencer becomes so much more than a “flirty friend,” complicating her dreams and her life in ways that are both exciting and frustrating because her taking this jump with Spencer could leave her falling without a safe landing and/or risking her heart being broken by a man who has the ability to push her as well as destroy her.
Blind Landing is all about taking risks. For Natalia, most of those revolve around her quest for Olympic Gold, remaining focused and fearless. For Spencer, it’s his involvement in the sport that he once ruled but now one he has to settle in as only a coach.
Natalia and Spencer are interesting characters partly because they are so much alike and partly because their stubbornness and competitive nature creates great banter as well as quite steamy scenes because Natalia can definitely give just as well as she receives;)
Carrie Aarons definitely goes for the gold in Blind Landing, and on the cusp of the Summer Olympics hitting television screens this weekend, it’s the perfect introductory celebration for the games and it primes readers for the excitement that will come with the United States Gymnasts hits the mats and shows their fearlessness in their attempt to bring home the gold!

4 Poison Apples
Excerpt
“I knew you were kinky. We could get caught, you know.” His lips move to my jaw, causing my whole stomach to tumble right down to my feet.
I hook my fingers under his waistband, playing with the deep V-lines that paint the way towards his most prized possession. “Are you scared?”
Spence leaves one brawny arm pinned beside my head, the other coming down to wrench my thigh up and around his waist. “Never. But maybe you should be.”
He flashes a devil-may-care grin at me a split-second before he hefts my entire body off the mat. My legs wrap around his solid waist as he crushes his mouth to mine, plunging his tongue in. Sparks zing down my spine and into my core, causing my clit to throb and whine for attention as it rubs against my leotard and his shorts.
“I’m going to teach you how to work the horse.” Spence whispers in my ear as he sets me down on a hard surface.
I peek down to see I’m sitting on the pommel horse. Bolted to the ground by two steel beams, the rectangular wooden block covered in leathery canvas sits underneath my body. My butt is square in the middle of the two curved handgrips, and Spence’s hands rest snuggly on the dips in my cheeks.
A grin spreads across my face as I look back up at him, the tent in his pants catching my eye. I pat the pommel horse sitting under me. “I thought you retired from spinning your hips on this thing.”
He brings his gaze down low to meet mine, his fingers digging into the flesh of my thighs. “That doesn’t mean I don’t still know a few tricks.”
His fingers tiptoed across my leg, and my feminine instincts had me dropping my knees to either side, so spread out that they practically touched the leather of the horse.
“See, the thing you have to learn about performing on pommels is … your hands. They have to be quick and precise.” Spence inches the crotch of my leotard aside, the velvet of it brushing the inner part of my thigh and sending shivers through my pores.
As soon as the tepid gym air hits my wetness, we both gasp. Gymnasts didn’t wear panties under their leotards. You weren’t a real gymnast if you did. And I was as real as they came.
Oracles foretold that the ascension of the next vessel would unleash enough discord and controversy to incite a vicious feud between the strongest of the werelock species—but that it would be the untimely death of a guilty innocent caught between two rival packs that ultimately sparked a great war between those opposing factions. An unforgivable sacrifice—destined to unearth a wrath so black as to obliterate light. Ushering forth the war of the century, the rise of a blind warrior, and the dawn of a decade without light. In a game of survival amid conniving, bloodthirsty supernatural opponents, it’s the player no one saw coming who will change all the rules …
When an obstinate American teenager stumbles upon forbidding paranormal circumstances, a lot more can go wrong than the age-old cliché of a naïve human girl falling prey to a depraved, bad-boy werewolf-warlock. But that might happen too… Frantic to locate her missing half-brother, eighteen-year-old Milena Caro embarks on an impetuous journey to South America, only to be kidnapped and thrust into a frightening supernatural world when she is handed over to a powerful family of ancient werelocks.
Determined to escape and rescue her brother, Milena never imagined she’d have to battle her own growing attraction to the spoiled, overbearing Alpha holding her hostage—her brother’s sworn enemy. And if thwarting the advances of a formidable, drop-dead sexy werelock bent on seducing her weren’t enough to contend with, those pesky lines between right and wrong, truth and fiction, persist in blurring and intersecting. **Mature Content Warning** This book contains violence, strong language, and sexual situations and is intended for adult readers. This book is part of a series and contains a cliffhanger ending.
Reconciling the mind and heart often provokes inner conflict. Throw in the whims of an emerging inner she-wolf entering her first heat cycle and the revenge demands of an ancient blood curse, and all bets are off! All Milena wants is to rescue her brother and return to her life in Santa Cruz. Unfortunately, her situation in Brazil grows increasingly complicated as she uncovers more startling truths kept from her since birth—leaving her at a loss as to whom to trust and what to believe. Caught in the crosshairs of a vicious blood feud between two rival covens, Milena
finds that guarding her heart is no simple feat … not when it’s the fearsome heart of an ill-fated blood curse that’s blossoming to life within her—threatening to unlock a long-prophesied reign of darkness upon the world with the power to destroy them all. **Mature Content Warning** – This book contains violence, strong language, and sexual situations and is intended for adult readers.

Against his will, Noctorno Hawthorne, an undercover vice cop, finds himself embroiled in magic, mayhem and parallel universes. Too late, he meets an amazing woman only to find she’s destined for his identical twin in another world.
And things aren’t going real great there.
Noc is recruited to help save that world.
What he doesn’t know is his destined love resides there.
Franka Drakkar wears a mask. A mask she never takes off to protect herself in a world of malice, intrigue and danger.
When Franka meets Noc and he discovers her secrets, convinced she carries a midnight soul, having shielded herself from forming bonds with anyone, she struggles with accepting his tenderness and care.
When Noc meets Franka, over wine and whiskey, her mask slips and Noc knows it’s her—only her—and he has to find a way to get her to come home with him.
Kristen Ashley was born in Gary, Indiana, USA and nearly killed her mother and herself making it into the world, seeing as she had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck (already attempting to accessorise and she hadn’t taken her first breath!). Her mother said they took Kristen away, put her Mom back in her room, her mother looked out the window, and Gary was on fire (Dr. King had been assassinated four days before). Kristen’s Mom remembered thinking it was the end of the world. Quite the dramatic beginning.
Nothing’s changed.
Kristen grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana and has lived in Denver, Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus, she’s blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her family was (is) loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write. They all lived together on a very small farm in a small farm town in the heartland. She grew up with Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched).
Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up.
And as she keeps growing, it keeps getting better.
I was a bit hesitant to start Josie and Dean’s story because I wasn’t very fond of them based on their actions in other books in the series. I’ll admit that the primary reasons for my disdain for the pair was Josie’s treatment of Hamish in book 6 and Dean’s lust for a spiteful bitch who did nothing but use him and abuse people he cares about.
BUT, I was willing to give both Josie and Dean the benefit of the doubt because everyone deserves someone to love…everyone deserves the “more” that life has to offer…everyone deserves to find a place to belong and find meaning.
Josie and Dean finding their “more” was definitely not easy. Throughout the story, they both make epic mistakes and never truly open their eyes until everything has turned to shit. Neither of them believes fully in themselves or one another, which makes fighting for a relationship – one that is not on solid ground – extremely difficult.
Throughout The Beat and The Pulse series, readers have witnessed each fighter settle down and become grounded in a relationship that makes each one of them not only better in the ring but also provides him with the ability to split his focus in a way that’s not distracting. Dean may be the last man standing when it comes to finding his other half, but that actually makes sense because he’s always been the bad boy…he’s always fawned after a girl who treated him like crap…he’s never actually seen what was right in front of him.
Surge is the perfect title for Josie and Dean’s book because they both impulsively act on their unearthed feelings for each other, and that rashness ends up breaking both of them down in a number of ways. And while their sudden actions definitely make them doubt what they have, it also forces them to deal with their pasts, make up for their mistakes, and go all in and fight for what they truly want from each other.
