Excerpt:

“Your keys and security alarm code please, miss?” he asked, hand held out waiting. It might have just been me, but we seemed to be standing awfully close together. It almost seemed weirdly intimate. Almost. No, my bad. Ziggy wore his usual professional façade with nary a hint of emotion on display. His gaze was shuttered, his bearing military rigid. It was definitely just me and my overactive imagination. Being vaguely attracted to your bodyguard was kind of a pain in the ass. Not that I couldn’t use the distraction right now. Ziggy continued to stand there patiently waiting. “Keys. Right.” I rummaged inside my Balenciaga City bag. Designer goodies were not only a weakness of mine, but a happy perk of being in the industry and achieving some small fame. “Ah, just a minute. They’re in here somewhere.” I pushed aside my purse, a cashmere shawl, tampons, a candy bar, some loose change, my small Chanel cosmetics case, a power bank, hair ties, pepper spray, a copy of the latest Sarah MacLean book, mints, a spare charging cable for my cell phone, the cell phone itself, Chapstick, Prada sunglasses case, my grandma’s rosary, dental floss, deodorant, a couple of pens, Kleenex, ear buds, water bottle, a USB stick, reusable straw, condoms, nail file, some old receipts, a travel size umbrella, hand sanitizer, lotion, a pair of pearl earrings, tweezers, Advil, a hair band, and some bobby pins. “Sorry about this,” I murmured. “I know I put them in here when we left.” He said nothing. A whole lot of nothing. “Huh.” With a great sense of victory, I held up a bottle of nail polish. “I thought I’d lost this.” One of his dark brows crept upwards. “I’ll have you know this color was limited edition. Little Death at Midnight by Oxley. You can’t buy it anymore.” His lips did not move, but that damn eyebrow arched even higher as he leaned forward a little and took in the contents of my bag. I swear his eyes widened. “Don’t you judge me. All of these things are necessary for my ongoing existence.” “Of course they are, miss.” The man was so judging me. Bastard. “You carry a koozie around with you, I see.” “It pays to be ready to party, Mr. Thayer.”

Review: The Dugout

The Dugout by Meghan Quinn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received an arc of this book and voluntarily give my review. Meghan Quinn is quickly becoming a favorite author of mine. The Dugout, the second book in this series of Brentwood Baseball had me hysterically laughing, crying and refusing to put the book down. Millie is a tom boy with a soft gooey center, she shows everyone that you can be soft and strong it's not an either/or. Carson has a chip on his shoulder from page 1, but as the story develops and Millie starts schooling him in the sport that he is determined to make a career, he begins to open up and become a more open and joking guy. This story has a few unexpected twists, but with a solid happily ever after at the end. This book should be read for the teasing and ribbing alone!

Review: Enchanting Sebastian

Enchanting Sebastian by Kristen Proby
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received an ARC of this book and voluntarily give my review. Kristen Proby has a way of creating characters that you wish you were friends with, and Nina and Sebastian are no different. Their unconventional arrangement while formal in nature is romantic to the reader from the start. Their attraction, their honesty and their communication with each other enchants the reader (see what I did there) making this book impossible to put down. I absolutely adored Nina, she was so confident and held her own even when placed in intimidating situation. She never lost who she was because she was entering into a Royal family and it was refreshing to see such a confident woman on the page. If you like small town romance, royal romance, marriage tropes, or strong independent women you will love this book!

Enchanting Sebastian

by Kristen Proby

A Big Sky Royal Novel

Release Date: September 24, 2019

The first in an all new stand-alone trilogy set in Kristen Proby's Big Sky world, Enchanting Sebastian will take your breath away! 

Turning thirty-five doesn’t mean much to most men. For Sebastian Wakefield, it’s the end of life as he knows it. 
When your father is the King of England, thirty-five is the year that a marriage will be arranged, a suitable bride cementing a future you didn’t choose. The obvious solution for escaping the archaic laws of the throne is for Sebastian to leave the country. And where better to go than America? 

Nina Wolfe has spent her career avoiding scandal. As a Hollywood publicist and minor celebrity in her own right, she knows exactly what it takes to keep the media at bay—and what will send them into a frenzy. 

Prince Sebastian hiding out in Cunningham Falls, Montana is an unlikely story. Ending up in his bed, even more so. And keeping their arrangement out of the press might just be impossible. The ring on her finger is about to spark a firestorm that will change her life, and no professional spin will help Nina fit into the world of royalty. 

Only love could write an enchanting new beginning—if they’ll let themselves fall.

Kristen was born and raised in a small resort town in her beloved Montana. In her mid-twenties, she decided to stretch her wings and move to the Pacific Northwest, where she made her home for more than a dozen years.

During that time, Kristen wrote many romance novels and joined organizations such as RWA and other small writing groups. She spent countless hours in workshops, and more mornings than she can count up before the dawn so she could write before going to work. She submitted many manuscripts to agents and editors alike, but was always told no. In the summer of 2012, the self-publishing scene was new and thriving, and Kristen had one goal: to publish just one book. It was something she longed to cross off of her bucket list.

Not only did she publish one book, she’s since published close to thirty titles, many of which have hit the USA Today, New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists. She continues to self publish, best known for her With Me In Seattle and Boudreaux series, and is also proud to work with William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins, with the Fusion Series. 

Kristen and her husband, John, make their home in her hometown of Whitefish, Montana. 

Review: Bad Girl

Bad Girl by Piper Lawson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book 2 in the Wicked series picks up where book 1 ends and involves more relationship development, individual character development and sexy times. I literally could not stop listening, Savannah Peachwood and Joe Arden do such a great job! Listening to Joe Arden say my name is also a plus 😉. It ended on the kind of cliffhanger that makes me glad I have book 3 queued up and ready to go.

Review: Good Girl

Good Girl by Piper Lawson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rockstar romance is my favorite, I think I’m just a sucker for a musician. This story hooked me from the first minute. It could be because Savannah Peachwood and Joe Arden are phenomenal, it could be because the heroine and I share a first name (and that’s always fun to listen to). Maybe it’s that Jax is a little broken, or Haley is smart and techie, but it is probably a little bit of all of that. I think we enjoy books where we can relate but still enjoy the fantasy and this audiobook checked all the boxes. It is my first book by Piper Lawson, but it will not be the last!

Review: Blue Steel Hearts

Blue Steel Hearts by Eve Lyn
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received an ARC of this book and voluntarily give my review. This short novella tells the story of Julie and Steve, they were each others "One that got away" Steve became a rockstar and Julie a waitress and model. They reconnect and the rest as they say is history. This story seemed to rushed for me even as a novella. There didn't seem to be enough time for the characters to adjust to the changes in their lives. Additionally, since this book takes place in the 1960's some of the slang was difficult to take seriously.

Review: Their Boy

Their Boy by Cara Dee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received an ARC of this book and voluntarily give my review. Cara Dee has quickly become a favorite author of mine. She addresses unconventional, taboo or risqué topics and tropes in a way that is sensitive heartfelt and yes sexy. Their boy follows Top Priority and picks up 8 years later with Lucas and Colt still looking for a little to complete their family. Enter Kit, an orphan with a traumatic past and scars on the outside and inside. What I loved most about this book is that the reader got to spend a lot of time with the characters. The story didn't rush through the meet cute, getting together and conclusion. You actually got to see the relationship grow and develop, there were multiple scenes where the characters discovered more and more of each other where insecurities were assuaged and ample time was given for Kit to become accustomed to his new relationship. The affection and growth infused in this story definitely earned it five stars from me!
