He left her.
Now she was back…with his son in tow.

Four years ago, he’d been a jerk with a wild side, a messed-up head, and a penchant for breaking hearts.
But he’d been a special brand of jerk to Kim.
Mostly because she was incredible. Smart, funny, beautiful. He’d seen a future with her, and that terrified him…
So he’d broken things off. Cut ties, lost her number, and moved on before she could move on from him.
But now she was back.
Now she was back, and she wasn’t alone.
His son was with her.

Acceptable Limits by Olivia Sinclair

 




Title: Acceptable Limits
Series: Everyday Famous #1
Author: Olivia Sinclair
Genre: Grumpy Billionaire Rock Star
Romantic Comedy
Release Date: July 28, 2022


BLURB

NOW I find out he’s a gazillionaire rock star — after I told him I hate his music…

Lilah
I can’t even manage an apology without needing to be rescued from the storm. By Todd, naturally (cue eye roll). But it can’t work out between us, can it? It’s not just the age gap. Failing coffee shop owners do not hook up with the likes of world famous lead singers hiding out in a small town — not long term, at any rate. And he says forever is the only thing he wants from me. But he’s just indulging his hero complex, right? He can’t really mean it…

Todd
Lilah’s smile is pure sunshine. I don’t give a rat’s ass what she thinks of the band’s music. Calling me ancient isn’t exactly reassuring, but I’m really more concerned about her risking life and limb simply because she didn’t know I was famous. Pretty clear to me she can’t fall down if she’s in my arms (or preferably in my bed). So that’s where I’m planning to keep her — safe, and all mine. That way, I might be marginally less grumpy from worrying about her. Think she’ll let me get away with that?

No surprise the rest of the band thinks it’s hilarious watching me sweat while failing miserably at corralling my girl or getting her to spend some of my money. That is, until a shadow from our past shows up that puts everything at risk. I appreciate their help, but you can tell them from me they need to go find their own women. No falling in love with Lilah.

Acceptable Limits is a steamy, small town, grumpy billionaire rock-star romcom (with an age gap, an HEA, and at least two kitchen sinks). Think you might recognize Todd? (unlike some people…) He first appeared in Challenging Burke. Once he found Lilah though, he insisted on interrupting that series for his own story, right back on quirky Embrace Island!

My rating: 4 out of 5 stars
My review:
Grumpy rockstar vs. sunshiny café owner made a fun storyline.  Although short, the book was cute and fast-paced.  It will make you laugh and leave you with a smile in the end.  This was the first time I have read a book by this author, and I would recommend it if you are looking for a short and cute book to read.

AUTHOR BIO

I write lighthearted steamy romance featuring alphalicious heroes who know what they want and strong, smart heroines that can spot gold underneath a rough exterior.

My promise to you: no cheating, always an HEA, and more than a few silly bits!

I love my characters and I want them all to live happily ever after (along with fabulous careers, chubby babies, and/or adorable pets). Sometimes this requires letting go of how the real world works. I’m okay with that and I hope you are too!

I live and work in the wilds of the Pacific Northwest where I like to experiment with making wine and sourdough bread when I’m not writing or being lectured by my adorably entitled chickens.

The Rules of Dating by Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland

 




Title: The Rules of Dating
Authors: Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Cover Design: Sommer Stein, Perfect Pear Creative
Photo: Julius Böcklin
Model: Mark Becher
Release Date: September 19, 2022


BLURB

It all started when I hosted a little party for a bunch of new friends.
Though “friends” might not be the right word since the invitees were all the women I’d found out my boyfriend was talking to behind my back. When the guest of honor walked in—aka my now ex—things took a turn…
Unfortunately, a stranger witnessed the whole blowout. I was in a mood that night and ended up giving this gorgeous guy an attitude, too. As if my night could get any worse, before he stormed off, he informed me he was actually my landlord.
Colby Lennon, along with three of his friends, owned the building where my tattoo shop was located. He and I were total opposites. He wore a tie, oozed confidence that came with years of women falling at his feet, and wasn’t afraid to say what he wanted, which lately—was me.
I hated that I found myself attracted to him. Especially since I was supposed to be on a self-imposed dating hiatus. Yet the two of us couldn’t seem to stay away from each other. We started hanging out, as friends. I even went as far as making rules for what he’d dubbed our “undates.”
But eventually, our explosive attraction became too much to bear, and we broke our resolve. I let my guard down and started to really fall for Colby.
Nothing could have prepared me for the ride he took me on. And I certainly wasn't prepared for where I'd wind up when the ride was over.
All good things must come to an end, right?
Except our ending was one I didn't see coming.

The Sacrifice by Alexia Chase

 




Title: The Sacrifice
Series: A Sinfully Tempting #14
Author: Alexia Chase
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: July 27, 2022


BLURB

Are you ready for the conclusion to A Sinfully Tempting Series? Mia and Jackson are waiting for you.
Can two childhood enemies stop bickering long enough to find their common ground?

Mia
When my ex dumped me, I went from the woman who had everything together to the girl re-organizing her brother's pantry.
I don't have a job or a place to live. Until my brother's irresponsible best friend gets a baby dropped in his lap, and he needs a nanny.
Guess who's a nanny? You guessed it. That's me.
Except, I can't stand my younger brother's immature player best friend. And if the current situation is any indication, he's as reckless as he was when he was fifteen and got my brother suspended from school. But he has a baby, and I'm a sucker for kids.

Jackson
What in the hell just happened? In less than fifteen minutes, I gained a daughter, and the woman I had a one-night stand with a year ago is on her way to the airport to fly to Vegas.
I don't know the first thing about raising a baby, but I'm not letting her go to Social Services.
When my best friend offers his sister up as a nanny, I would rather chew my arm off than accept her help.
Mia hates my guts, and I detest her condescending attitude, but there's someone else in my life now that matters more than I do.

Can close proximity and an adorable three-month-old help these two realize they're not the same kids they were in school?

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
My review:

The Sacrifice is the fifteenth book in A Sinfully Tempting series, but I had no trouble reading it as a stand-alone.  This is still a fairly new author for me, but I really enjoyed this book and plan to go back and read the rest of the series.  It was fast-paced, had a great storyline, and had likable characters.

Mia moved back home and in with her brother after her ex dumped her, while she was waiting on another nanny position to come up.  When her brother’s best friend Jackson suddenly discovers he is a dad and needs a nanny, Mia reluctantly agrees to help him.  Jackson knew Mia hated him, but he needed a nanny fast and she was available.  Can forced proximity change their perspectives of each other?

This was a fun best friend’s sister and forced proximity romance that will leave you smiling.  It was entertaining and kept my attention until the end.  I cannot wait to read the rest of the books in the series.

HE'S GOING DOWN
An Enemies to Lovers Hot Romantic Comedy

A one-night stand goes wrong in this steamy and hilarious enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy!

It started as a normal birthday celebration.

Was there wine? Of course.
Did I let loose with my best friends? Absolutely.
Did I have one glass too many and follow a tattooed bad boy into a bar? Cue mortification.

I don’t do reckless, or wild nights of hot sex.

Correction: I didn’t used to. I also didn’t plan to drunk-email my boss and quit my soul-sucking job, leaving me in a financial mess.

But I'm churning those lemons into lemonade! I’m chasing my dream job handling wine at San Francisco’s hottest restaurant. But guess who shows up as my competition? None other than my tattooed bad decision.

Even worse, the mother-F-er smolders at me and says, “Six.”

Jimmy claims he gave me six orgasms, but I don’t remember our wild night, and I don't climax from oral. Pretty sure I’d recall if my body did the impossible and unraveled under his tongue.

I call him a liar. He calls me a challenge. I tell him this job is mine and he better watch out because he’s going down.

Which is exactly what he offers with that dirty mouth of his…

OFF-LIMITS CRUSH
A Hot Opposites Attract Romantic Comedy

Opposites attract in the hilarious and hot romantic comedy United Indie Book Blog calls "a MUST READ!!!!!!"

Tripping into a gorgeous man when signing up at a Habitat for Humanity build should be a bonus, right?

Not when that hunk decides it would be fun to prank me.

To be fair, I’m not what I’d call "handy." I’m a genius at styling my clients, but manual labor isn’t my thing. Still, I’m determined to better myself by helping my community.

Then Owen too-hot-to-be-human Philips told to me to show up wearing hazmat-level gear.

He’s all apologetic now, being nice and sweet and hot. I’m ready to forgive and forget. And, if we’re being honest, I’m also ready to climb him like a freaking tree.

But I catch a man squeezing his fine behind.

Being the awkward soul I am, I flirt with all nearby straight men, hoping to break this unbearable attraction.

Except Owen looks…upset. Furious, even.

Turns out Owen isn’t gay, and holy heck can this man kiss. But I have the sneaky suspicion there’s a reason he took so long to ravish me, and secrets have a habit of dousing even the hottest flames…

Never with Me by Kaylee Ryan

 




Title: Never With Me
Author: Kaylee Ryan
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: July 26, 2022


BLURB

Ramsey

I’m out of my depth participating in a blind-date photo shoot. Not only am I meant to act like I’m open for dating, but I’m meant to be sexy and get up close and personal with a complete stranger.

None of the above is me. But I’m a sucker, and my best friend can talk me into anything.

Deacon is the kind of guy my heart could be safe with. But I’ve been taking care of myself for a long time, and I’m not sure I’m ready to rely on anyone else. Not even the handsome, successful older brother of my best friend.


Deacon

I never saw her coming. One date with a beautiful stranger and I’m hooked.

Technically, Ramsey isn’t a stranger. She’s my little sister’s best friend, the same sister who volunteered me because she claims “I’m a workaholic in desperate need of love.”

All I know is I can’t stop thinking about Ramsey and the way her lips felt against mine. I have to see her again. Good thing I’m an attorney, because convincing her to take a chance on me is going to be the hardest case I’ve ever pleaded. She’s worried about the past repeating itself. What she’s yet to figure out is that her fear is unnecessary… never with me.

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
My review:
WOW. This book took me by surprise. I wasn’t sure what a blind-date photo shoot was but what a perfect cute meet for Ramsey and Deacon. The connection between them was instantaneous and the chemistry was off the record. Deacon was able to see below Ramsey’s guarded heart and calm her fears. I loved watching the two workaholics slow down and discover the joy of life together. The book was heartbreaking and emotional but left me smiling and wanting to read more. I don’t feel the little sister’s best friend played a significant role in the book because Ramsey and Deacon were destined to be together. This was truly an excellent book and I highly recommend it. I look forward to more books from the author in the future.
