He’s the sinfully sexy, off-limits client whose naughty blog showcases his best “asset.” His prim and proper attorney has never been more tempted to mix business with pleasure… All About the D is a sexy new romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author Lex Martin and bestselling author Leslie McAdam!
Synopsis:
To believe one person can change your destiny sounds absurd. But it happened to me… twice.
Ten years ago I had no idea what I wanted out of life, until I met Hannah Michaels. She was a computer-engineering student ready to conquer the social media world, and I was smitten. Even though I knew she was taken, I had to have her.
Being the big shot that I was, I didn’t let her status stand in my way. It wasn’t long before my hands were on her thighs and my name a whisper on her lips. This smart, sexy girl inspired me to greatness, helped me grow into the kind of man I never knew I wanted to be. The man I am today.
Too bad I hadn’t grown fast enough to keep her.
Moving on wasn’t easy, but I knew I had to let her go. Eventually, I found someone to share my days and nights with, and together we had a daughter. My life was nearly perfect until my world turned upside down.
A single father has challenges, and one of those is learning how to calmly deal with your child coming home in tears. I had no idea the day I pounded on my daughter’s classmate’s door, Hannah would be the one standing on the other side.
The wild, burning desire that roared through my veins was unwanted, and yet impossible to ignore. Letting her in meant so much more this time around. Guilt hit me like a hammer. I hated myself. I hated her. The problem was I really didn’t hate her—I wanted her more than ever.
But this time around I can’t have her.
This time it’s my status that stands in our way. And going up against myself just might be the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

DaisyGal’s Review:
Kim Karr continues to remain at the top of my list of favorite authors! Her heroes and heroines are so incredibly real, and their passionate love affairs always keep me right on the edge, eagerly filled with anticipation. She also writes some of the absolute best Happily Ever After’s, which give me the warm fuzzies and leave me smiling. In her latest book in the Sexy Jerk World Series, Kim Karr has once again captured my heart. Big Shot is a beautifully executed second chance romance with its story of loss, heartache, and hope, and is simply the perfect mix of sexy and sweet!
Synopsis:
I’ve sworn off men.
All men.
Famous last words, right? You’re expecting some epic tale of reluctant love and my dramatic change of heart? Well, you’re not going to get it.
I’m stubborn. And headstrong. And I’ve just survived the worst three years of my life. After escaping an abusive boyfriend to live in hostels and cheap hotels while I worked my way across Europe, I’ve come to two conclusions.
The first? Now that I’m back home, I’m going to squander my expensive culinary degree on a food truck that caters to the late night drunk crowd.
The second? I’m going to prove to the bastard across the plaza that my street food is better than his fussy five course monstrosities.
Killian Quinn might be Food and Wine’s Chef to Watch Out For. He might have a Michelin Star. He might have every food critic in the city wrapped around his too-large fingers. But he’s also pretentious and unbearably arrogant and the very opposite of me.
So he can keep his unsolicited advice and his late night visits and his cocky smiles. I want none of it. Or him.
I want the opposite.

DaisyGal’s Review:
The Opposite of You really caught my eye from the moment I saw it!
Synopsis:
Micah Preston is Hollywood’s #1 sex symbol.
A rich and famous actor who has sworn off any serious relationships, the playboy is the media’s favorite bachelor.

Now her job as a camera assistant has landed her on the set of his latest movie, and despite her vow to ignore his charm, she finds him pulling her focus.
She just has to make it through the shoot without landing in his bed. But when the legendary bad boy sets his sights on her, how can she possibly resist?
The book was previously published under the title Take Two.

DaisyGal’s Review:
I love how Laurelin Paige’s romances vary so much! All are super sexy (she can certainly write some steam!), but her stories can range from dark and angsty to incredibly fun and sweet. Sex Symbol is more of a light-hearted read with its fun, feisty, and strong willed characters, yet it’s filled with loads of passion and kept me brimming with anticipation from the get-go!
Synopsis:
From #1 New York Times bestselling author duo Erin Watt comes the addictive contemporary tale of a teen rock star in need of an image makeover and the teen girl hired to be his fake girlfriend.
Meet Oakley Ford-teen celebrity, renowned pop star, child of famous movie stars, hottie with millions of fangirls… and restless troublemaker. On the surface he has it all, but with his home life disintegrating, his music well suddenly running dry, and the tabloids having a field day over his outrageous exploits, Oakley’s team decides it’s time for an intervention. The result: an image overhaul, complete with a fake girlfriend meant to show the world he’s settled down.
Enter seventeen-year-old Vaughn Bennett-devoted sister, part-time waitress, the definition of “normal.” Under ordinary circumstances she’d never have taken this gig, but with her family strapped for cash, she doesn’t have much of a choice. And for the money Oakley’s team is paying her, she figures she can put up with outlandish Hollywood parties and a team of publicists watching her every move. So what if she thinks Oakley’s a shallow, self-centered jerk? It’s not like they’re going to fall for each other in real life…right?

Blurb
Duke of Manhattan by Louise Bay
Release Date: May 16th
Genre: Contemporary Romance
I was born into British aristocracy, but I’ve made my fortune in Manhattan. New York is now my kingdom.
Back in Britain my family are fighting over who’s the next Duke of Fairfax. The rules say it’s me–if I’m married. It’s not a trade-off worth making. I could never limit myself to just one woman.
Or so I thought until my world is turned upside down. Now, the only way I can save the empire I built is to inherit the title I’ve never wanted — so I need a wife.
To take my mind off business I need a night that’s all pleasure. I need to bury myself in a stranger.
The skim of Scarlett King’s hair over my body as she bends over . . .
The scrape of her nails across my chest as she screams my name . . .
The bite of her teeth on my shoulder just as we both reach the edge . . .
It all helps me forget.
I just didn’t bargain on finding my one night stand across the boardroom table the next day.
She might be my latest conquest but I have a feeling Scarlett King might just conquer me.
A sexy, standalone romance.

DaisyGal’s Review:
Louse Bay’s Duke of Manhattan is a story of determination, taking risks, and finding success, and this charming and sexy romance also reminds you that fairytales and happily ever after’s do exist and sometimes you can find love even when you least expect it!
About SIN WITH ME:
The past she can’t remember. The secret he hides. And a love that’s worth risking it all.
After a devastating car crash stole both her family and her memory, Grace Stanton was left with no past and an uncertain future. Now Grace likes to keep things simple. No sleepovers, never date a guy more than a month, and never, ever fall in love. Which is exactly why Grace avoids Bad Habit’s lead guitarist, Brody Scott, at all costs. The green-eyed, sexy-as-hell musician has “trouble” tattooed all over him, and Grace isn’t taking any chances with her heart.
Brody knows he doesn’t deserve an amazing woman like Grace—her creamy skin, red hair, or that smart mouth that fuels his every fantasy—but there’s something between them that’s more than chemistry. Something real. He’ll just have to convince Grace that he’s worth the risk—and hide the secret that haunts his worst dreams. But when fate plays a cruel hand, Brody’s darkest sin suddenly threatens his last chance at redemption…and the life of the woman he loves.

DaisyGal’s Review:
I have been looking forward to this release for so long! The previous book in this Bad Habit Series, Make Me Sin, was a top 2016 read for me and told A.J. and Chloe’s heartbreakingly beautiful story. I have been dying to know if they would get their well-deserved happily ever after, and my curiosity was also peaked at what in the world could be going on between Chloe’s ‘tough as nails’ bestie, Grace Stanton, and the sexy and mysterious Bad Habit guitarist, Brody Scott. Thank goodness, the wait is finally over! In Sin with Me, Geissinger has once again gifted an incredibly suspenseful and sweet romance topped off with her down to earth wit and style, characters to adore, and some of her steamiest writing yet!

DaisyGal’s Review:
Every now and again I just need a change of pace from my normal and sweet storylines, want to turn it up a notch, and let’s be honest here, Laurelin Paige is certainly a Queen of dark and angsty romance! Her creativity offers such unique and page-turning escapes from the mundane. Her characters are flawed, sometimes with even angry and twisted souls, but she somehow transforms them to be the ones that I root for and adore. Her new Dirty Filthy Rich World is captivating, and Dirty Filthy Rich Men, the first book her Dirty Duet Series, is wickedly sexy, thrilling, and totally consuming!
Fast forward 10 years from Dirty Filthy Rich Boys, and the once shy and insecure Sabrina Lind has her confidence, career, and life on track. Not being able to complete her education at Harvard, she now has her MBA and is working at a small marketing company in Los Angeles. Weston King and Donovan Kincaid are now powerful billionaires running their new firm Reach Inc., which is already an industry leader after only five years. When Sabrina finds out that Weston is speaking at a conference, she just can’t resist seeing him again after all this time. Would the man she tried so hard to get to look her way remember her, or is she just as forgettable as she perceived herself to be? Continue reading
From the New York Times bestselling author of Jake Undone, comes a full-length standalone companion novel and sequel.
A different side to the story: Jake’s side.
“We’re getting a new roommate,” they said.
I thought nothing of it…until she walked in the door. Her hand trembled in mine as she looked at me with fearful eyes. My entire world spun on its axis.
Nina…
It was a mismatch made in heaven: innocent girl from the boonies moves in with tattooed, pierced, badboy engineer.
I came up with a bet, a plan to tutor her in math and coach her through her phobias. What I wasn’t betting on was becoming addicted to her.
But I was living a double life on weekends, and once she found out about it, she’d be gone.
I had to protect myself and that meant one thing: I couldn’t fall in love.
*✿༻༺✿*
DaisyGal’s Review:
This can supposedly be read as a standalone and is Jake’s version of the story with some ‘extras.’ I honestly do not usually enjoy follow ups with the ‘other side’ of the story, since they usually drag on and on about what I already know. However, I absolutely loved ‘Jake Undone’ and definitely enjoyed Ward’s writing, so my interest was peaked about this follow up. I’m so glad that my curiosity won out!
