About BRIDESMAID FOR HIRE:

Sometimes the wedding of the century calls for desperate measures.

And sometimes those desperate measures are to pretend the person you hate most is actually your boyfriend.

After years of working her tail off at her event-planning business, Maggie Mitchell is ready for a vacation. With nothing on her mind but R & R, she's enjoying the warm weather of Bora Bora when in saunters Brody McFadden, her brother's best friend and also her sworn enemy. Thanks to years of tension between the two―kicked off by a make-out session at her brother's wedding that ended horribly―Maggie has sworn to stay away from the man. That is, until she finds out he's in Bora Bora for his boss's daughter's wedding, hoping to use the trip to win a real future at the company.

Maggie promised herself she wouldn't even think of work on the island, but as word spreads about the "wedding of the century" taking place in the midst of her vacation, she realizes offering her services as a bridesmaid and planner could bring her business to the next level. The only catch? She needs to pose as Brody's girlfriend to get the job…while letting him stay in her peaceful bungalow.

Tensions rise, irritation flairs, and despite years' worth of bickering behind closed doors, Maggie can't quite squash the sparks building between her and her new fake boyfriend, especially when she learns the real reason their first kiss was cut short. But as the wedding day draws closer and everything starts to go wrong, it just might be Brody who sends Maggie's business crashing down―and her heart along with it.

My review: 4.5 stars!

Oh how I love a vacation romance! I just finished the duet-style audiobook and I enjoyed it so much. Erin Mallon and Jason Clarke always do a spectacular job with their narration and they really brought characters Maggie and Brody to life with their performances in Bridesmaid for Hire. Author Meghan Quinn always makes me cackle with laughter and there were so many hilarious moments. Seriously, so many! I'm excited to see this book listed as #1 in the series because I definitely want to read more about this group!

My review: 5 stars!

If you know me, you know I'm a bit of a wallflower myself, and married a college football player, so I can so relate to the Campus Wallflowers series. Scoring the Player was just delightful and I enjoyed Dahlia and Felix's story so much. Fake relationships are always fun, and it was so great to see them truly falling for each other as they got to know each other better. Felix was just so kind and sweet and just an all-around great guy- swoon! I loved that Dahlia was a college athlete too and it was neat to see her play a sport we don't see that much in the romance world- golf. I listened to the audiobook and Jason Clarke's growly voice was just perfect for Felix, and Erin Mallon always gives such great performances, so she was a great voice for Dahlia.

SEEKING AN EX-HUSBAND

 

I need a fake ex-husband. 

Let me explain … 

I may have let it slip to my new co-workers that I have an ex-husband. Now they’re fascinated with the details, specifically with him.

Why wouldn’t they be? He’s gorgeous, has exceptional skills in the bedroom, and is determined to win me back.

But there’s a problem. He doesn’t exist.

The bigger problem? I have to produce him to save my job.

This is where you come in.

I’m seeking someone to play a smitten ex-husband for two weeks. You’ll need to remember our love story—details matter when it comes to romance! Please be prepared to travel in-state at a moment’s notice. We may be in close proximity and sharing a bed may be required.

One more thing—kisses are required for optics as necessary.

If this sounds interesting or, at the very least, entertaining, let me know.

Signed,

Your Future Ex-Wife

 

Buckle up for a steamy adventure between friends-turned-lovers in this new “fresh twist on a favorite trope!” take on fake dating, close proximity, and romance in the workplace from USA Today Bestselling author Adriana Locke. 

 

My review: 5 stars!

Fake dating is always such a fun trope, and I love that Fluke did a twist on that trope and made it even more fun. Each and every Carmichael brother we meet is even more swoon-worthy than the one before. Jess is just dreamy. I'm super invested in this family and am dying to know who is sending the random texts and I am so excited for a book on Banks!

About RIGHT MAN, RIGHT TIME:

From USA Today and Amazon Charts bestselling author Meghan Quinn, comes a new fake dating, standalone sports romance featuring the hockey men you can’t get enough of and love. This steamy, age-gap romantic comedy will bring all the laughs while making your cheeks blush at the same time.

Running into your ex is never ideal.
Running into your ex who is now dating your nemesis is a literal nightmare.

That’s how I found myself in a sheer panic, reaching for the closest guy at the bar and kissing him. And to my delight he was easily the most attractive man I’ve ever seen.

The only problem is, when I tried to walk away after thanking him for his help, he stopped me with three life-changing words . . .“You owe me.”

That’s how I found myself, a college girl, in a fake relationship with a professional hockey player ten years older than me.

At first it was easy.
He helped me with my internship.
I helped keep his ex away from him.
We were becoming fast friends.

It wasn’t until he started staying the night at my dorm did the rules of our arrangement become complicated.

Now my feelings are involved and even though I kissed the right man at the right time, I’m worried he’s just waiting for the clock to run out.

My review: 5 stars!

Author Meghan Quinn always writes laugh out loud comedy and I am so here for it! Silas and Ollie were just so darn good together and the witty banter was *chef's kiss* fantastic. I love the Vancouver Agitators and was so glad to get more from Silas and his teammates. I also adored Ollie's best friend Ross- he was a delight! After reading the book, I immediately used a credit on Audible for the audiobook and so glad I did- Jason Clarke and Stella Hunter are SO GOOD!

New Release Review: Blind Side by Kandi Steiner

 

Blind Side by Kandi Steiner
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fake-dating is one of my most favorite tropes, and I really enjoyed Blind Side. Giana was darling and quirky and it was neat to see her in her job in PR for the football team and her interactions with Clay before they decided to enter a fake relationship. I loved the chemistry that sizzled between the two main characters! Edward Black and Miranda Dyer were both new to me, and I especially enjoyed Black's performance.

CONTEST: WIN A DATE TO MY HONEYMOON

 

I realize that a social media post isn’t the usual way to secure a date to your honeymoon—for obvious reasons—but here we are.

My wedding was canceled. What’s not canceled is the nonrefundable, ten-thousand-dollar all-inclusive vacation at a luxury resort, and I’m not about to let it go to waste.

I’m packed and ready to hit the beach. But I can’t deny that it might be more interesting to honeymoon with someone.

Since my track record of picking dates isn’t exactly golden, I’ve done something that I hope I don’t regret. In a moment of weakness—mixed with panic and fueled by margaritas—I agreed to let my friends choose someone to go with me.

It’ll be a blind date / postnuptial vacation—without the nuptials. A few fun days in paradise with no expectations. No obligations.

Before you say, “pick me for a free vacay!” a few things to consider …

The perfect candidate will be single. He won’t talk too much on the plane. And he’ll be able to leave town quickly.

He will also be okay with sharing a bed. It’s a honeymoon suite, after all.

If you want to be considered, email Rebecca and Sara your application at the address below. (Get creative. There’s a free vacation on the line.)

Wheels up next week!

Godspeed, honeymooners.

Grab your suitcase and prepare for the time of your life in this swoony tale that’s as hot as the tropical destination itself. Fans of runaway brides, close-proximity, one-bed, and friends-to-lovers tropes will fall hopelessly in love with this fling-to-forever romance.

My review: 5 stars!

Oh Fling was so cute! Those Carmichael brothers are a hoot, and I adored Maddox and Ashley's friends-to-lovers story. It was hilarious and heartfelt. Swoony and sexy. Sweet and HOT. Ashley's friends Sara and Becca were so great and I hope we get to see more of them in future Carmichael books.

New Release Review: Flirt by Adriana Locke

 

TITLE: Flirt

AUTHOR: Adriana Locke

RELEASE DAY: April 8, 2022

BUY LINK: https://amzn.to/3un8Op6

 

BLURB:

I’m a single female who’s tired of relationships ruining my life. However, there are times when a date would be helpful. If you’re a single man, preferably mid-twenties to late-thirties, and are in a similar situation, we might be a match.

Candidate must be handsome, charming, and willing to pretend to have feelings for me (on a sliding scale, as the event requires). Ability to discuss a wide variety of topics is a plus. Must have your own transportation and a (legal) job.

This will be a symbiotic agreement. In exchange for your time, I will give you mine. Need someone to flirt with you at a football party? Go, team! Want a woman to make you look good in front of your boss? Let me find my heels. Would you love for someone to be obsessed with you in front of your ex? I’m applying my red lipstick now.

If interested, please email me. Time is of the essence.

From USA Today and Amazon Charts Bestselling author Adriana Locke comes a “fun and flirty!” fake dating situation between two coworkers that quickly straddles the line between friends and lovers.

 

 

Excerpt:

He stretches his long, lean body until the toe of his work boot hits my desk and his fingertips touch the wall behind him. The hem of his dirty black T-shirt rides up his six-foot-something frame. A hint of his chiseled abdomen is visible above the waistband of his jeans, and it takes everything that I have not to stare.

I’m only human. Even if he can be a jerk, he’s still drop-dead gorgeous.

“Stop it,” I say, shuffling papers around on my desk.

He sits up and flashes me a megawatt smile. “Stop what?”

“I know what you’re doing.”

“And what might that be? I’m just loosening my muscles after a hard day’s work.”

I keep my face blank. “It’s early afternoon, Moss.”

“Okay, well, I put in a heck of a half-day, thank you.”

I fold my arms on my desk and look at him. It’s difficult to ignore his pursed lips, arched brows, and stupidly long eyelashes. He’s good enough to eat, and he knows it. That’s one of the problems with him.

My review: 5 stars!

Oh this was fun! I have been so excited about the new Carmichael family series and Flirt was fantastic! It was fun and flirty, and sweet but sexy. I adore when a fake relationship turns real and it was delightful to see Moss and Brooke fall for each other. Looking forward to the next Carmichael book- these brothers are a hoot and a mess!

 

New Release Review: Southern Sinner by Jessica Peterson

Southern Sinner

North Carolina Highlands Series Book 3

by Jessica Peterson

Release Date: April 22, 2021

 

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Until I brought my fake girlfriend home.

When I took a seat next to the gorgeous brunette at the blackjack table, I had no idea it would be the start of the hottest weekend of my life. By day, Stevie and I dominate the casinos of Sin City.

By night, I dominate her in my penthouse suite.

Then my brother Samuel ruins it by asking me to come home for his engagement party.

Because he’s not just getting married. This isn’t a normal celebration for me. His future bride is my "one who got away." The girl I may or may not still be in love with.

The catch? He wants me to prove I’m over his fiancée before they set a date. So I ask Stevie to double down on our chemistry and pretend to be my girlfriend.

We set our ground rules: lots of sex, plenty of pretend smiles, and no strings.

But we’re not only gambling with the truth. We’re gambling with our hearts.

They say every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. But Stevie’s past may force us to fold on our future before it’s even begun.

My review: 5 stars!

There's nothing I love more than a good redemption story, and by golly, Jessica Peterson totally redeemed Hank for me in this fantastic fake relationship tale. After Southern Sinner, he's totally my favorite Beauregard brother. Hank and Stevie's blackjack table meet-cute was fun and the Vegas backdrop was the perfect setting for their no-string-attached hookup. But of course who did Hank think of months later when he needed a volunteer girlfriend for his plan? It was fun seeing lines get blurred as fake turned into real- their chemistry was so real and so very hot. Jessica Peterson's writing is so delightful and I cannot wait for her next release.

BLURB:

"She went home with someone else that night?"

Hearing the disbelief from my best friend's mouth makes the events of my failed date sting that much more.

I would like to make it known, I have a lot more swagger than what it seems. I don't normally ask a girl out, have her fail to recognize it's a date, and then give me a high five--as if I'm her wingman--and take off with someone else.

No. Normally I'm the one taking the girl home but with Stella, it's been one failed attempt after another and frankly, I'm done trying.

But thanks to my best friend getting married in Hawaii right before the school year starts, I'm stuck on a tropical island, watching Stella parade around in what she claims is a bathing suit.

Unfortunately, that's not the worst of it, just the tip of the iceberg. Because what I think is going to be a relaxing vacation, avoiding the one girl I can't seem to make it work with, has turned into a spectacle of being recruited as Stella's doting fake fiancé so she can save face with an old "friend" from high school.

Now I'm navigating through purgatory while trying not to get turned on by the way she holds my hand or kisses my jaw. It's all fake, that's what I keep telling myself, even though it feels entirely too real.

My review: 4.25 stars

In Earn Your Extra Credit, we spend the majority of the book at a destination wedding with the most hilarious group of friends. Main characters and co-workers Stella and Brock "Romeo" have undeniable chemistry an agree to a fake relationship while on the trip. As with all Meghan Quinn books, hijinks ensue, and oh does she do hijinks well! So many laugh out loud moments! I adored Romeo's infatuation with Stella and how patient he tried to be. The read star of the book for me was the last chapter- we get to see some old friends and are treated to a pretty fantastic and swoony grand gesture.
