Quarterback Sneak Release Blitz & Review

 

Quarterback Sneak by Kandi Steiner is now live!

Quarterback Holden Moore can have any girl he wants.
Except me: the coach’s daughter.

With piercing green eyes, herculean biceps, and irresistible dimples, Holden is the number one target for every girl on campus. But according to his teammates, football is the only love of his life.

He’s their leader, their QB1 and team captain who is all business and no play.

But when I’m with him? Mr. Serious isn’t serious at all. He loves to push my buttons, to pin me with those sexy eyes of his and tease me until I bite back.

I remind him I’m off limits.
He can’t have me, and I don’t want him—or anyone else, for that matter.

I’m here for one reason: to show my father I’m more than his greatest disappointment.

But when an old injury flares up and I’m forced to work with Holden every day as his athletic trainer, his attempts to get under my skin start becoming harder to resist.

We can’t give in, no matter how much the air crackles between us when we’re close.
I’m the coach’s daughter, and if Holden Moore wants to go pro, he’s got to play by daddy’s rules.

Otherwise, he’ll be off the team.
And he’s not the only one with something to lose.

I couldn’t possibly love this series any more than I do. Author Kandi Steiner Is one of those authors I immediately one-click.  ANYTHING she writes. I don’t even need to read the blurb first. I know I’m going to love it. I don’t think I have ever rated any of her works less than a four star. Pretty sure I would darn near give one of my pinky toes to be granted the privilege to ARC read her grocery list. Lol  But really,  If you are anything like me then you love a good college/new adult, sports, forbidden (quarterback & coach’s daughter), forced proximity, grumpy/sunshine, secret romance. What you will find even more appetizing here is the way this author flips the trope script on you and you get anything but the typical in some of these tropes. Trust me, you definitely don’t have to worry that you’ve read this story before. Because you HAVEN’T!  Holden and Julep were unexpectedly everything I didn’t know I needed and SO.MUCH.MORE! 

HOLY HOT HADES! Two words ladies. Holden.Moore. The little tidbits we’ve got of our captivating captain in the previous books could never have prepared my heart for a whole book of Holden. Very focused and together, he’s got one thing on his mind, football. Pretty planned out for smooth sailing right on through his senior year. But what he couldn’t have planned out in any playbook, was being flipped right on his fanny by none other than the coach’s daughter, in all her delicious forbidden glory. 

Julep Lee has walls as high and tight as Ft. Knox up to keep people from getting close. No stranger to loss, it’s just best to not get close to people then you can’t lose them. Holden is someone and evokes feelings she never expected. His ability to cut down to the most vulnerable and terrified parts of her and meet her there, with an understanding only someone who knows pain like she has could. GAH. 🥺 The emotions in this book. In their story they discovered how to let things be and forgive themselves. They were able to look at life from a new perspective. That realization that you have found your person. The one who completes you, who gives you strength to let your guard down and truly be vulnerable with someone else. The complexity and depths to these characters. Their journey of finding love and a special bond over shared past traumatic experiences, and being able to share those with each other. A love so powerful and full of hope and healing in these sweet and tender moments. 🥰😍🥰

But as sweet as Holden was he had this amazingly alpha side that came out and it was hella hot y’all. Like a spark ready to ignite at any second they were just explosive. I’m talking about he smirks,  the dimple comes out and panties go 💣 🩲POOF! 🩲💣💋  *Chef’s Kiss*💋  I mean we all know combustible undies at a smile and a wink equals a good day. Am I right?!😏

Quarterback Sneak is the third stand-alone book in the Red Zone Rivals series. While you do not have to read the other book in the series before reading this, there are appearances by couples from the previous books. Plus they are amazing stories, so I cannot recommend them enough, so I say read them anyway if you can. You will be so glad you did. 

My Cr8zysockbookblock Wrap Up

⭐️Star Rating~⭐️✨⭐️✨⭐️✨⭐️✨⭐️✨⭐️~

SIX because I am never gonna want this series to end even though the next book is the final book, and five just isn’t enough to do it justice STARS!! 

💭Overall Thoughts~I am such a Kandi Steiner super fan. Her emotional and angst filled writing never fails to suck me right from the first paragraph and have me lingering in a book hangover long after the last sentence is read. Her masterful word wizardry blends fun and super sexy, with the perfect amount of emotions and angst. It is so obvious the careful thought she puts into the backstory of each and every unique character she creates. I can’t get enough. Especially her series. That is why she is at the top of my list of one of my favorite one-click authors! 

🌶HEAT~ 🌶🌶🌶🌶 EXPLOSIVE, SCORCHING AND DELICIOUS. This author never let’s me down in the “love scene” department.  

🥰HEA/CLIFFY🧗‍♀️~ No Cliffy. HEA– I was left all warm and ooey gooey at the end. I couldn’t love Holden and Julep any more than I do at this moment. So happy with the glimpse into the fourth and final book in the Red Zone Rivals Series. While I’m so sad to see this series end, I will be super pumped to see what Ms.Steiner has in store for us next.

𝑷𝒐𝒑𝒑𝒚

August Whitley was just a fling–someone fun to spend my time with no strings attached.

We broke things off before our feelings grew, but it was already too late.

After leaving town, I swore to myself that I would never look back.

And when I get surprising news, I’m completely committed to doing it alone.

𝘜𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘴 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦…

𝑨𝒖𝒈𝒖𝒔𝒕

𝘗𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘺 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘮𝘴. She was an enigma and a mystery that I wanted to unravel.

Neither of us were ready for a commitment and after a misunderstanding, she left town without a single word.

I tried to find her, but it was as if she fell off the grid. It was messing with my head and becoming a threat to my hockey career.

Until one night, one date with another girl… I find Poppy working at the restaurant and she’s pregnant.

𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘺 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥.

𝑰 𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒎𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝑰 𝒘𝒐𝒏’𝒕 𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒂𝒘𝒂𝒚.

Holy Hot Hockey Pucksl!!🔥🔥 I am beyond obsessed with August and Poppy’s addictively sweet and unforgettable story. I am allured by August, and Poppy is just positively perfect. This is a steamy and dreamy second chance romance with all the feels. A must read surprise pregnancy/sports romance that’s hotter than H-E-double-hockey-sticks!! 🏒🏒

August is loving life, living his dream playing hockey for the Wyncote Wolves hoping it will lead to playing professionally one day. He lives, eats, and sleeps hockey and has no plans of letting anything get in the way of that. However, things just got complicated. Because when he runs into the hookup he hasn’t been able to get out of his head his thoughts about what matters most for his future just might start to look completely different. For months he searched for Poppy and now here she is in front of him with an obvious bun in her oven…and It’s pretty likely that August is the one that put that bun in Poppy’s oven.👶🏼

Then comes the sweet and swoony side of August and oh he just stole my heart. ♥️ This is a reformed playboy (with a heart of gold). Take note, I said play boy as opposed to Fork-boy. I always knew he was a good guy to his core. Even when he and Poppy were just hooking up, they were only hooking up with each other. 

Oh my sweet Poppy. 🥺 My heart just hurt for all she’d been through. She knows how August feels about commitment and that is fine with her until she finds out her future is about to change in a big way. 🤰🏼She felt she couldn’t do that to August so she did the only thing she could think of, she ran. She knew she needed to confront the truth and tell August one day. But a few months passed and she would confront him whether she was ready or not when they happened upon each other. While it seems like August quickly wants to jump right into the deep end, Poppy just wants to tread lightly in the shallow end and guard her heart. But she sees the changes in August. He is going out of his way to prove to her what is most important to him and that is quickly crumbling the walls she’s put up. He wanted to take care of her.

Oh my heart! I legit ATE.IT.UP. He  just made me melt. 🫠The way he went after what he wanted. His patience with her, he was smexy, sweet, and sensitive. He went from a non-committal guy to just the guy that knows how to love you wholly. Mind, heart and body. Unselfishly. WOW! Is my love for August obvious or what?! 🥰🥰

I can not get enough of this series. These Wyncote Wolves are everything. My hubby was never into hockey but boy do they have me wishing he was. Lol  It’s just so aggressive and testosterone filled and HOTT!! Good GAH! What a great group of guys too. They are just amazingly written characters and I want ALL of their stories. So far in each book we get enough snippets of the ones with stories to come to be intrigued and anticipating the days until we get them. I love that they are all so aggressive and alpha when they need to be.  I find myself binging hockey teams on TikTok and picking out I think who would be my who.

Deflected Hearts is told in dual POV ( my personal favorite) and is the second standalone book in the Wyncote Wolves series. I am in love with how Cali Melle’s writing just sucks you right into the story and I cannot get enough of her panty melting, heart stealing heroes and the strong willed and sassy heroines that bring these men to their knees. While you don’t have to read Cross Checked Hearts before reading this book I would definitely recommend checking out Logan and Isla’s story. It is a fantastic brother’s best friend’s romance as Isla is August’s sister and Logan is his best friend.

Blind Side Release Blitz & Review

 

Blind Side by Kandi Steiner is now live!

 

Blind Side is a fake dating sports romance that early readers are calling Kandi’s spiciest book yet! Add in that the heroine is a virgin and takes “lessons” from our star athlete Hero on how to please herself, and this is one hot summer release you won’t want to miss!⁣

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝.⁣

𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐈 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲.⁣

Clay Johnson has the abs of Adonis and the deadly smirk of the devil, himself. There’s hardly a day he’s not headline material during football season, and never a day he isn’t a bullseye target for every girl on campus.⁣

He used to be the easiest of all the players for me to wrangle as the Public Relations Coordinator, but after a nasty breakup with his high school sweetheart, he’s a mess.⁣

And a complete pain in my ass.⁣

We meet to discuss his behavior and review media relations standards. But when he witnesses how I fall to pieces in front of my guitar-toting crush, his wheels start turning. And he cooks up this absurd plan.⁣

He helps me get noticed. ⁣
I help him make his ex jealous. ⁣
All by pretending to be in a relationship.⁣

What he doesn’t realize is that this bookworm is a virgin, and far from versed in seducing a musician. So, to sweeten the deal, I convince him to help me — not just to get my crush’s attention, but to knock his socks off once I have it.⁣

But the more I come unraveled at the hands of Clay Johnson, the more trouble I have discerning what’s fake and what’s undoubtedly real — particularly, the way my heart flutters every time that breathtaking man touches me.⁣

We set the rules. We put the safeguards in place.⁣

But they say rules are meant to be broken.⁣
They probably should have added that hearts are, too.⁣

My Review


My friends. I am absolutely cuckoo for Clay and Giana!🥰 I happen to love this take on a new adult/sports romance, which is a pretty common trope right now. Author Kandi Steiner attacks Clay and Giana’s story with gusto, giving us two extremely loveable characters that instantly captured my heart. With an attention grabbing storyline from the get go you will be instantly addicted to all things Giana and Clay. Y’all ready for this? Because this is a little bit sweet, a little bit swoony, and whole lotta sexy. Pearl Clutchers get ta clutchin’ because this is the 🔥HOTTEST 🔥virgin heroine romance this girl has ever read!🥵

Clay is still reeling from a shocking and unexpected dumping courtesy of his highschool sweetheart when he happens to notice the awkwardly adorable yet kind of hot Public Relations Coordinator for his team is losing it a bit over the musician at the place where they are having a business meeting. He immediately comes up with an idea. He can help Giana get the musician’s attention and she can help him make his ex jealous. Win Win.They form a plan. They make rules. They begin their lessons Then O-M-G! The lessons, I couldn’t get enough of the lessons. (Fanning myself just think about them) Giana has a special request of her own. These two are fun, flirty, so freaking hot together. The lines quickly start to blur. Is it possible this fake relationship is becoming real?  But the times when they talked and learned about each others growing up. It was just sweet and vulnerable and in those moments you just knew they were meant to be together.

Here are just a few things you can expect from Blind Side. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Fantastically Phenomenal Five Star Read

🏈 A gorgeous Hero who will frustrate you as well as make your heart flutter

👓A Fake/Opposites Attract Relationship

🏈 A beautiful, sweet, and sassy heroine

💋Ex/Other people causing drama

🏈Scorching Hot Scenes

👓Complete Standalone but will be more in this world

🥰HEA

Fair Catch Release Blitz & Review

 

I thought being the only girl on a college football team would be my biggest problem… until I find out my brother’s best friend is my new roommate.

 

Fair Catch by Kandi Steiner is now live!

 

As if things aren’t already tough enough as the only girl on a college football team, Coach had to go and assign Zeke Collins as my roommate.

A cocky kick returner and my brother’s best friend who should have been ripped of that title years ago, he’s as infuriating as he is undeniably sexy.

I hate him, and for good reason — reason I won’t ever let him forget.

He thinks because we grew up together that it’s his role to protect me, but all he does is get in my way, make me look weak, and piss me off more.

I tell him I can handle myself, and I’m hell-bent on getting that point across to him and the rest of the nation watching the only girl in collegiate football.

The pressure doesn’t get to me. The scrutiny? I’m ready for.

But sharing very thin walls with Zeke Collins? I wasn’t prepared for that.

And the more we’re forced together, the harder it is to distinguish that pencil-thin line between hating him… and wanting him.

My Review

Kandi Steiner has scored another touchdown with a heartfelt Brothers Best Friends/Sports Romance, Frenemies to lovers, Interracial romance, and Roommates to Lovers Romance. All.In.One.This book is sweet, swoony and with the perfect amount of angst, charm and banter and delicious heat!!🥵🔥

Riley’s got skills. Being the only girl on her college football team makes her feel like she’s always got to prove herself deserving of her spot. She’s got the talent, the drive, the determination, but not always the respect she deserves from all the guys. She has the love and support of her twin brother and his best friend and person she despises most in the world, Zeke. When she needs a roommate, when she has some mental blocks, Zeke is all of a sudden always there to lift her up. “You did it, Mighty Mouse.”

She’s seeing a different side to the playboy that ruined her family. Could there be more than what she thought of Zeke’s story? This story will make you cheer. It will bring you all the emotions. It’s swoony and perfect. It’s emotional and exciting. It’s angsty and sexy. It’s the best of everything. Grab your copy now!

Beyond the Team Release Blitz & Review




Title: Beyond the Team
Series: Out of Reach #4
Author: Kaylee Ryan
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 8, 2022

BLURB
Griffin


All it takes is four days to change my carefully planned-out life. Four days to fall for Peyton Monroe. Four days to convince her to give me… us a chance.

Before her, baseball was the center of my world. Being the best. Getting a full-ride scholarship. Getting drafted. Going pro. But from the moment my frisbee lands at her feet on the beach, I can’t stop thinking about her.

She’s beautiful, funny, smart… and lives thirteen hours away. Long-distance love is a complication I should avoid, but staying away from Peyton is not an option. This goes beyond the team and my love of the game.

Peyton

I’m looking to get away, not searching for love. But it all but lands at my feet on spring break anyway. A beach full of hot guys, and of course I find myself falling for a handsome baseball player.

Griffin Anthony’s charming smile draws me in. We fall hard and fast, but when it’s time to say goodbye, he tries to convince me that we can make this work long distance.

Now I’m torn between following tradition and playing it safe or throwing out the rule book and following my heart across the miles. He wants me to trust our connection. Can I risk my heart?

My Review

I absolutely love an insta-attraction, a meet on vacation romance. Add in a little long-distance, sports romance and you’ve got a delicious mix of the perfect story, ones like Peyton and Griffin’s. 

From the very first time they saw each other they had instant chemistry, making for a fun, flirty, sweet and swoony tale. I just loved how instantly they felt a connection even if they felt like they needed to fight it because of distance and other factors. 

I love how family and friends was once again such a big theme throughout this book as we are used to with this series. Griffin and Peyton were loyal, loveable and just really good people. Just wanted them to get together. It was refreshing to have a book boyfriend that was a sweetheart, good to his momma and talked a little dirty. So HAWT!! 

This was just enough a sweet, swoony and steamy story to keep me engaged and entertained from start to finish. Fans of a low angst  sports romance with real and relatable characters grab this series and especially Beyond The Team today!! Five Fastball Stars!!⚾️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

ROCKSTAR ROMEO
BY ABBIE ZANDERS
After nearly two decades in the rock and roll business, Jace Logan has
seen and done it all. It’s been a long time since someone told him no regarding
anything. Until her. She’s different.
She’s gorgeous, sexy, and oddly familiar, but he can’t figure out why.
When she shuts him down, she only makes herself that much more intriguing and
he’s determined to find out more. What he discovers leaves him reeling.
Eva D’Agolino is a single, successful working mother of twin boys, but
she wasn’t always a paragon of corporate responsibility. Once a part of the
rock and roll life herself, she traded in the glitz and glamor for her kids.
These days, she prefers to live and work behind the curtain instead of center
stage.
Denying Jace completely proves impossible, but she’s no fool. She’s
already been down that road and knows how the song ends.
Can Jace convince Eva that he’s nothing like her ex, and that theirs is
truly a love song for the ages?

man of my dreams and everything I know I should stay away from, but, oh, he’s
so irresistible.
The things
he does to me, I can’t keep my mind off of him.
But God, I
need to keep my distance, yet I’m so drawn to him.
And then in
an instant when my world is forever changed, Preston is the only one who I can
turn to for comfort. He takes care of me, my mind, my soul, my heart, 
and
my body.
But I know
this can never last.
It’s not in
him to settle down, and he surely won’t with his best friend’s sister.

COCKY STRIKER
BY EVAN GRACE
Some say
I’m cocky — I say I’m confident.
Things have always come easy for me; sports, academics…girls. And I’ve used all
of that to my advantage the past three years of college.
I’ve got it all, or at least I thought I did until Laken walks into my life.
I’ve never desired a relationship like my parents have, but there is
some mysterious pull I feel toward this brunette I’ve noticed around campus.
And with each interaction we have, I long to know her more. Yet the closer we
get, the harder she resists and the higher the walls go up.
I sense there’s something more – a secret she’s hiding – one she doesn’t trust
to share with me yet.
But she will, if I have my way, and I’ll do anything if she’ll take a chance on
me. On us. I grew up hearing the story of how my parents met, their separation,
how my dad fought for them, and their happily ever after. I just never expected
or wanted to find that for myself.
Now that I have I don’t want to ever let them go.
But when I’m given the opportunity of a lifetime after graduation, will the
offer of my heart be enough for her to accept? Or will I lose her forever?

SHAMELESS BASTARD
BY J. HANEY & S.I. HAYES

Temping
sucks, especially when you have a shopping addiction.
I started
at Seemore Temps when my dreams were shattered and I needed something to pay
the bills. 
At Seemore
Temps they pride themselves on the three B’s. Beauty, Brains, and Bounty. 
They supply
the mostly male-driven businesses of Manhattan with able women that can do the
job, and look good too. 
Needless to
say, we’re a popular Agency.
Working for
Mason Chase should have been easy. He was married, kind and a bit of a flirt,
but pretty harmless. 
Not like
 James Murtaugh or the Shameless Bastard as I’ve come to call him. 
He’s the
ruthless, arrogant CEO of Renowned Investment Financial, and he’s set his eyes
on… me.
He can have
any woman he wants and will go to great lengths to have them. 
I need this
job, but I want, Christ, what do I want? Do I give in? Let him conquer me like
some Emperor? 
Or do I
stay in my place and collect the paycheck? We shall see, either way, it’s gonna
be interesting.
All good
things must come to an end, right?
Except our
ending was one I didn’t see coming.

throwing punches since I was old enough to remember.
They call
me The Lion; a sexy, tattooed beast in the cage.

all up after my brother’
s accident.
Now I’m trying to figure a way to save my family’s legacy, at the same time,
mend my broken heart.
I’ve been
in love with my friend Soraya since the ninth grade. Too bad she’s in love with

a mess. Until a smoking hot, little firecracker with a zesty attitude walks
into my gym and turns everything upside down.
She’s got
secrets; someone she’s hiding from, and I’m going to find out who.
I won’t let
her run anymore. I’ll show her she’s worth the fight.
I must pull
off the biggest win of my life.
I’m ready
to battle in and out of the octagon for her.
I’m ready
to save my family’s livelihood and win the woman of my dreams.
I’m ready
to battle for my destiny.
Don’t think you know how this fight is
going to turn out.

HEART BREAKER
BY JULIE KRISS

Holden
Whittaker broke my heart when I was eighteen. What kind of guy stands up his
prom date and leaves her hanging, waiting for him to show up? A total jerk,
that’s who.
Never mind. I left my tiny nowhere town and moved to New York to follow my
dream of becoming an actress.
Ten years later, my dream hasn’t happened, and I’m working as the office supply
girl at Morgan Financial Holdings, doing my best to keep my paycheck and not
get fired by the world’s most terrifying boss. Life couldn’t get much worse,
until I get stuck in an elevator and guess who comes to rescue me? In a city of
eight million people, it’s Holden.
Turns out he’s moved to New York, too, to be an EMT. I don’t want to see my
teenage nemesis as one of the good guys, but he’s out saving lives every day,
and he’s still gorgeous and cocky. I could fall for him all over again, and
that’s a problem. Because it’s only a matter of time before Holden crushes me
again.
My hometown heartbreaker isn’t the guy I left behind anymore. If I could stop
hating him, I might belong with him. The question is, which one of us will get
hurt first?

Kelsey Cheyenne just took the best of all the filthy and delicious things I love and put them into one fabulous book that captivated me from the moment I started it until the very last page.

Tatum Trevino was this amazing soccer star. A god on and off the field. When something happens that sends him hiding out and coaching University, women’s soccer team. He thought all would be smooth sailing. What he wasn’t prepared for was Bria Campbell. The gorgeous and sassy, captain of the team. She has talent and challenges him in ways he couldn’t have ever predicted. When he sets up some after hours, one on one training with Bria, sparks start flying. They have chemistry and banter for days. I’m talking off the charts. I loved this girl. Her fierce tenacity and the way she verbally sparred with Tatum. Good Gravy was it ever hot!! 🔥 But this book also has some twists that definitely threw me for a loop a time or two. I had some utter WTF moments and had to show some serious restraint to not chuck my Kindle across the room. I loved the push and pull and the sexiness. The unexpected, all of it. A-ma-zing!! Another great one in the Cocky Hero Club!! Grab this book today!! 🙌🏻

COCKY DOC
BY SAMANTHA LIND

I was
minding my own business at my new job as a child life specialist when the
sexiest doctor in the hospital fell into my lap… literally.
He was
every woman’s fantasy, the Adonis in a white coat was charming, not to mention
brilliant.
Dr. Andrew
“Drew” Montgomery was quite the catch, not the usual type of guy who I’d expect
to fall for a woman like me. 
The first
man who saw past my wheelchair, Drew was also the first man I could see myself
settling down with. 
We started
dating, and everything seemed fine, but something was holding him back, Drew
was married to his job and he carried the weight of his namesake. A name I
wasn’t sure I could live up to. 
I meant to
keep my guard up, but it was no use. I was in over my head the moment his
gorgeous blue eyes thoroughly examined me. 
I knew my
body was in good hands, but could I trust my heart with the cocky doctor?

FRENCH WANKER
BY VICTORIA PINDER

Why couldn’t a sexy Frenchman be the way to nurse a broken
heart on a honeymoon for one? The question plagued me, and part of me figured
he was just what the doctor ordered!
On the steps of the Eiffel tower, the hottest man I’d ever
seen referred to himself as a wanker on the phone and a surge of heat grew
inside me.
And why did British slang suddenly sound like a name in my
fantasies?
When Mr. Wanker shows up on my train to Italy, we make a
deal that he’ll take me to Monte Carlo and then we can continue onto Rome,
together.
My lonely honeymoon for one is now heating up.
And the more time I spend with my Mr. Wanker, the stronger
my fantasies of tossing everything and moving to Europe play out in vivid color
in my mind.
Falling in love wasn’t supposed to be a part of this
vacation. Reality always ruined fairy tales…

POWERFUL BASTARD
BY ZN WILLETT

A BASTARD
YOU WILL LOVE TO HATE 
Melody
“Excuse me,
sir, I know this sounds strange, but can I buy that bagel from you?”
I didn’t
know at the time that one simple question would change my life irrevocably.
Not to
mention the tall, dark, and handsome stranger that came with it.
As a
struggling musician in New York, I’d take all the help I could get.
But I
wondered at what price? Because, as handsome and powerful as Bentley
Schilling was, he was still a bastard.


Bentley
I’d never
forget the day Melody Dumas approached me in that bagel shop.
I sure as
hell didn’t plan to offer her assistance. But when she flashed those deep brown
eyes, she could get any man to do her bidding.
The streets
of New York were not an easy road—one must earn their way. But this beauty was
different. She needed to be on a stage, not singing on a street corner.
I had the
power to help her make beautiful music.
Question
was . . . what was in it for me?


Powerful
Bastard is a witty, sexy love story about a free-spirited musician who
just might bring a Manhattan powerhouse to his knees.
