Excerpt Reveal: Loverboy by Sarina Bowen

Loverboy by Sarina Bowen is releasing December 1, 

and here is an excerpt for you!

Gunnar waits for my answer, watching me with hungry eyes. I take another sip of tart, fruity goodness and feel a rare looseness in my limbs, as if I’m limber enough to mold myself into the kind of woman who knows how to handle this moment. The possibility of Gunnar and me in bed stretched itself out around us.

He’s waiting for me to say something. Except that I’ve forgotten the question, let alone the answer. He gives me a smile, like he can read my thoughts. And then he lets me off the hook by glancing up at the TV screen to check the score. “Tell me,” he says. “Where did you go just now?”

“Nowhere,” I say quickly, chickening out. I take another deep gulp of my drink. I haven’t had quite enough alcohol to nonchalantly ask Gunnar to come home with me tonight. I want to, though. Really. A lot. He’s just the right kind of playboy to get me out of my rut. It won’t mean anything to him. He won’t have any expectations.

And neither will I, of course. We have nothing in common.

Although lately I find myself appreciating Gunnar for much more than his very fine ass. Who could resist a guy who comes to work on time every day, and makes fabulous coffee for eight hours without complaint? 

The old Gunnar would have teased me mercilessly and hidden the sugar cubes when he went on break. The new Gunnar keeps his head down and saves my overworked butt during every shift.

Sure, he still flirts mercilessly with the customers. But nobody is perfect. And I’m just jealous. I’d rather have those pale eyes trained on me. 

They were, too, only a moment ago. But I blew it already. He was waiting for me to give him the green light, and I chickened out.

That’s a theme with me.

My review: 5 stars!

I love when there's some suspense in my romance reads- and I LOVE when Joe Arden is cast for the audio. Arden did Gunnar so well, and just as I would have imagined Gunnar's voice to be. Arden can do sweet and tender just as well as he does hot and steamy. Emma Wilder is a fantastically cast as Posy. And let's talk about the cover- it's so REFRESHING to have a fully clothed man on a cover, and the model in his tuxedo is perfection. There's great banter and humor mixed in with the mysterious plot and the business major in me loved all the details about Posy's Pie Shop. I absolutely loved this swoony romance mixed with a little intrigue- it was such a joy to listen to the audiobook and I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

New Release Review: Moonlighter by Sarina Bowen

Moonlighter

The Company #1

By Sarina Bowen

Release Date: October 22, 2019

Only in my family could a professional hockey player earning seven million dollars a year be considered a slacker.

I’m at the height of my athletic career. Yet my arrogant brother is always trying to recruit me into the family business: a global security company so secretive that I don’t even know its name.

Pass, thanks. I don’t need a summer job.

But the jerk ambushes me with a damsel in distress. That damsel is Alex, the competitive, sassy girl I knew when we were kids. Now she’s a drop-dead gorgeous woman in deep trouble.

So guess who’s on a flight to Hawaii?

It’s going to be a long week in paradise. My job is keeping Alex safe, while her job is torturing me with her tiny bikinis. Or maybe we’re torturing each other. It’s all snark and flirting until the threat against Alex gets serious. And this jock must become her major league protector.

Moonlighter is a stand-alone novel. No cliffhangers, no prior experience necessary. Contains: hackers, hockey players, and a hotel room with only one bed.

My review: 5 stars!

Sarina Bowen absolutely never disappoints, and I am over the moon(lighter) for her newest series. Along with her trademark steamy sports romance expertise (laced with witty dialog of course), she throws in some business suspense that was so darn intriguing! We met both Eric Bayer and Alex Engles briefly in prior Brooklyn Bruisers novels, but Moonlighter would read perfectly fine if you were meeting them for the first time here. This book falls squarely in the both the fake dating and friends to lovers tropes, but there's also a surprise trope in there that turns out to be a huge part of the plot and brings us some wonderfully swoony moments. I adored Eric and Alex together and enjoyed getting to see some favorites from the Bruisers world again (Bingley!) 

My favorite highlight: And here I thought I was going to spend the evening watching violent movies in my underwear and eating take-out. As one does.
