Falling for Mr. Bad by Melissa Foster

 

Falling for Mr. Bad by Melissa Foster is now live!

 

She’s a badass musician with no patience for overinflated egos. He’s a billionaire tasked with wrangling her into submission. Going head-to-head has never been so much fun. Especially since neither one is afraid to play dirty.

Sable Montgomery loves her single, do-as-she-pleases small-town life. She sees family often, spends her days working in her auto shop and many evenings playing at a local pub with her band, Surge. She has no desire to settle down or let any man tell her what to do. When Surge is offered what most people would consider the chance of a lifetime to tour with and open for Bad Intentions, the hottest rock band of the decade, her bandmates are all in, but she's determined to walk away. Sable has no patience for glitz, glamour, or overinflated egos, and that includes the infuriatingly hot billionaire sent to wrangle her into submission.
 
Taking over as manager for his brother's band wasn't on business mogul Kane Bad's agenda last year, much less negotiating with the stubborn and beautiful lead singer for Surge, but there's nothing he won't do for family. Including trying to stifle his desire for Sable. He needs to convince her to accept the contract, but he'd rather wrangle the sexy, headstrong, boot-wearing, tough-talking musician into his bed.
 
Loyalties are tested, lies are told, and greedy pleasures are satisfied. Are they just a chorus between chaotic verses, or will falling for Mr. Bad be Sable's greatest love song?

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

My review:

WOW!!!! Scorching HOT!! This book needs more than 5 stars! This small-town romance was so awesome, and I have already had to read it several times.

“Let Big Daddy Kane ease your worries.”

Billionaire Kane Bad temporarily took over managing his brother’s band when they discovered their current manager was stealing from them. He didn’t sign up for negotiating with a stubborn female lead singer to be the opening act for their tour. Or falling for the sassy lead singer.

“…I didn’t know it was possible to love someone so much, it feels like we’re two halves of the same person…”

Sable Montgomery, lead singer for Surge, loves her small town and living close to her family. She has no desire to go on tour after seeing all the drama and chaos her brother’s band goes through while on tour. Reluctantly she agrees to go on tour since she felt guilty for holding back the other members of the band. Will she give up the life she loves for fame and fortune?

“There is nothing I want more in this world than to be the one who stands up for you, who pampers you even when you fight me on it, and who loves you every minute of every day, whether or not we’re arguing, until the day they bury me six feet under.”

Falling for Mr. Bad is part of the Love in Bloom series and is a cross between the Bradens and Montgomery (Pleasant Hill-Oak Falls) worlds. I can never seem to get enough of these series and am always so excited when a new book comes out. This book was a perfect crossover between the worlds, and I loved getting to revisit some of the earlier characters. I loved all the witty banter between Sable and Kane. She was so sassy and not afraid to stand up to Kane. I loved the scene of their first meeting, and their chemistry was hot from the get-go. I cannot wait for the next book which will be Pepper’s story, Playing Mr. Perfect.
I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Educating Arrogant Mr. Hunter by Stephanie Harrell

 

Title: Educating Arrogant Mr. Hunter

A Single Dad, Enemies to Lovers Romance

Series: Curvy Ever After #6

Author: Stephanie Harrell

Genre: Steamy Contemporary Snow White Retelling

Tropes: Single Dad/Enemies to Lovers

Release Date: September 22, 2023

BLURB

Once upon a time, there lived a lovely curvy second-grade teacher who battled the heart of the hunter and won.

My life is spiraling out of control.

I never expected my daughter’s mother to die and leave me, struggling to raise our eight-year-old alone. So far, I’ve managed to lose my focus, alienate my best friend, and put the business I worked so hard to build in jeopardy.

Nor did I anticipate the curvy woman who had every right to think of me as a heartless real estate tycoon could desire me as much as I desired her. Neither of us are looking for forever. Yet, we can’t deny the magnetic attraction between us—even though she used to despise me for trying to demolish her home. Another problem? She’s my daughter’s teacher.

I won’t risk my daughter’s heart for someone I know won’t stick around, but the more I see of Wren’s passion, kindness, and dedication to her students, especially my daughter, the more my closed-off heart cracks open.

How do we move forward when I’m not ready to let go of the past, and she isn’t willing to risk her job to change the status of our relationship?

Letters from the Heart by S.L. Sterling

Title: Letters from the Heart

Series: Willow Valley #3

Author: S.L. Sterling

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Small Town/Widower/Military

Release Date: July 26, 2023

BLURB

Peggy

After the death of my husband, I drowned myself in flowers, a bittersweet memory of the good times we’d shared. I’d had the good fortune to fall in love with a man who wasn’t great with words but understood the language of flowers. There had been flowers for every occasion, which culminated into the biggest flower delivery of all, my own shop in the small town of Willow Valley, Peggy’s Petals. So I spent all my time and energy building my small flower shop.

Eight years later, my friends are trying to encourage me to move on, but how does a person do that and leave behind the guilt they hold? Instead, I tried something safer. My best friend, Trinity, suggested I join the Army pen pal program. It seemed the safest way to test out the waters with someone new, and the best part, we’d never meet, or so I thought.

Ethan

I’d now been widowed longer than I’d been married and thanks to countless deployments, I knew the men under my command better than I knew my own daughter. As I neared retirement, I wanted to change that. I started talking to my daughter. She explained that she had been doing some volunteer work for a non – profit. She was starting a pen pal program for military men and women and she wanted me to get involved.

Apparently, all I needed to do was write a pen pal provided by the non-profit. So, I signed up, and began exchanging letters. This went on for a few months. The more I knew about her, the more I wanted to know. Then kismet played its hand. Melinda, my daughter, and Peggy, my pen pal lived in the same small town.

As I prepared for retirement, I finally knew where I wanted to settle down. The military had given me an amazing life, now I wanted the job of being a family man, which meant being with my family. I planned to move to Willow Valley, build a relationship with my daughter, and if I had my way, build one with Peggy too.

Tucker Beckett and I likely never would have met if our spouses weren’t having an affair.

Newly divorced with a young son to raise Tucker Beckett is the last man Miranda Owens should be itching to figure out, to make smile, and hear laugh. Still there is something about the detective with haunted blue eyes and a dirty mouth that draws her in from the moment they meet.

As Tucker and Miranda begin to navigate their new relationship, Tucker is tasked with solving the murder of a young woman, while their ex’s begin to play games in an attempt to split the two of them up.

Before they fall, these two will need to figure out if the only thing tying them together is the circumstances that brought them together in the first place or if it’s something more.

Love isn’t complicated but sometimes life is.

Grumpy the Bear by Marika Ray

 

Title: Grumpy the Bear

Series: Bluebell Band of Brothers #1

Author: Marika Ray

Genre: Small Town Romantic Comedy

Tropes: Grumpy/Sunshine, Single Dad, Enemies to Lovers

Release Date: June 8, 2023

He’s a tattooed, blue-eyed jerk who has no business being a single dad. He’s also my next-door neighbor, and after negotiations, my grumpy employer for the summer.

I don’t put up with cocky males normally and I certainly won’t put up with that man making noise at all hours of the day and night while he builds his glamp-ground. I offer advice, but the stubborn fool just turns his tractor on to drown me out. He returns the favor by pushing my buttons and making me so angry I can’t see straight. And I really want to be able to see his gorgeous body in those well-worn jeans and backward hat.

Amidst the verbal warfare, I discover he’s hiding scars from a recent accident. I also find out his light eyes heat up to a smoldering icy gray when I give as good as I get. Makes me want to see just how far I can push him and what he’ll do when he boils over.

Gannon’s been dealt a rough hand in life, and when I find a way under that gruff—and stupidly handsome—exterior, I find that maybe he’s not Grumpy the Bear as I nicknamed him, but instead just a teddy bear.

I pulled the hat off his head so I could see his eyes. I needed to see them when I asked this question, even though it wasn’t the question I wanted to ask. What I really wanted to say was that I needed more than just a physical release from him every now and again. I wanted to be with this man for real. I didn't care if we were neighbors or that I was currently the nanny for his daughter.

“You’re not playing fair, cowboy.”

He frowned. “What do you mean?”

I shrugged. “You can’t just play a song for a girl on your guitar and not put out. It just isn’t done.”

Understanding dawned. “You need more of those orgasms, Pearse?”

I tilted my head and went for what I wanted. “I need sex, cowboy. Sweaty, physical, blow-my-mind sex. I don’t want to walk straight tomorrow.”

Gannon groaned, dropping his head to my shoulder.

Let's see if my grumpy neighbor could ignore me now...
