✨Let’s celebrate! It’s release day for HIRE A CUDDLER by @authorhopeford! Grab it in KU!

#OneClickNow
https://mybook.to/HireACuddler

Why you need to #ONECLICK this book:
🔥Billionaire
🔥Plus Size Love
🔥Fear of Intimacy
🔥Virgin Heroine
🔥15 Year Age Gap
🔥Alpha Male
🔥Fake Marriage
🔥Small Town Romance
🔥Slow Burn

King is a determined billionaire… posing as a professional cuddler to get close to me.

He’s the type of man who always gets what he wants, and right now, he wants me—the socially awkward, plus-size model with intimacy issues.

I've never had anyone hold me, hug me – or even love me – and my therapist thinks a professional cuddler will help break down the walls I've built to protect my heart.

I’m skeptical at best.

But King is so good at holding me together that the line between professional and personal quickly blurs, igniting a passion I’m not prepared for.

King and I might be fifteen years apart, but our connection is undeniable.

When his true identity is revealed, I feel betrayed.

Until he proposes an irresistible deal: a fake marriage. He gets what he desires, and I get what I need.

I reluctantly agree… with boundaries of course.

Now, I just have to keep reminding myself that this isn’t real.

✨It’s cover reveal day for NOT YOUR BIGGEST F

✨It’s cover reveal day for NOT YOUR BIGGEST FAN by @saraneyauthor releasing 28 January!

And I can't wait for this one. I love Sara Ney's writing!

#PreOrder here:
https://books2read.com/NYBFSaraNeyKU

What you will find inside:
🏈Sports Romance
🔥New Adult
🏈Hidden Identity
🔥RomCom
🏈Different Worlds
🔥Opposites Attract
🏈Professional Athlete
🔥Small Town Girl
🏈He Falls First

USA Today bestselling author Sara Ney sizzles with a quick-witted, sexy romp about an eager entrepreneur and a cocky football star who couldn’t be more different—or more into each other.

Harlow James is destined to rock the dating world. The creator of Kissmet, the app helping singles find love, she’s in New York to secure advertisers. But the sassy, small-town girl can’t help meddling in other people’s business.

When she runs into a muscular stranger at her go-to food truck, Harlow doesn’t realize he’s Landon “Andy” Burke, the NFL’s most-wanted free agent, in town to talk contracts. She just sees a hottie about to get burned by undercooked street food. Though she tries to warn him, he shrugs her off, making a little wager instead.

In a messy twist of fate, Andy finds himself in the same hotel as Harlow. When she collects on their bet, they make a mind-blowing—and bed-rocking—connection. But after the weekend, she goes home to Green Bay to her goofy dad and corgi, ready to focus everything on work again. Kissmet, however, has other ideas, when Andy knocks on her door.

Who’s excited for this boss / employee romance?

My Favorite Boss by @morelandmelanie is coming on the 17 September.

Preorder Ebook and Paperback now
https://geni.us/MyFavoriteBoss

My new boss--Alexander Bane
Aptly named since he's the bane of my existence.
Please isn't in his vocabulary.
He grunts, growls, and demands.
If only he didn't look so sexy when doing so.
If only his mouth weren't so addictive when kissing mine.
He's quickly becoming my favorite boss.
Which is wrong.

My new assistant is an unwelcomed distraction.
Snarky, witty, always smiling.
Constantly putting me in my place.
Making me second-guess my decisions.
I dislike it. Intensely.
Unless I'm kissing her.
Then Magnolia Myers becomes my favorite person.
Which I hate.
Two people working together, disliking each other.
Until they don't.
Then the fun begins.
HR has never been so entertained.

Out now - Tempted By Her Greek Island Bodyguard by @michelledouglasauthor

Her protector – 24/7!

Out of her comfort zone, Janie’s signed up to compete on a reality TV show to restore a Greek island resort!

It’s for charity, but her overprotective father has hired former army commando Zach to be her bodyguard and teammate. It’s obvious Zach couldn’t be more annoyed about his “babysitting” assignment.

Only, as the friction between them sparks into tempting attraction, both must confront why they’ve always shunned relationships. And what happens when they return to the real world?
.
.
This is such a good book - it has perfect summer vibes as it transports you to the gorgeous Greek islands. A definite 5 star read. See my blog (link in bio) for the full review!

💜💜 NEW RELEASE 💜💜 JUST ONE MORE DARE

💜💜 NEW RELEASE 💜💜

JUST ONE MORE DARE by @carlyphillips (Book 2 in the Sterling Family Series) is NOW LIVE!

A runaway bride.
Her older brother’s off-limits friend.
Taking one more shot at love should be easy, right?
Not on a dare.

Samantha Dare had one thought when she found out her fiancé was a lying cheater. Escape. So, she ran from her wedding…straight into the arms of the man who once gave her the hottest kiss of her life. But rebounding with her brother’s friend would be a huge mistake…wouldn’t it?

The last thing Dex Sterling needed was more chaos in his life. Retiring from football and starting over in broadcasting gave him plenty of that. But even though Samantha is chaos personified, for some reason, he’s still not able to keep his mind—or hands—off her.

Is a little bit of forced proximity and a lot of sexual chemistry enough to earn them a second chance at happily ever after?

Samantha and Dex are about to find out.

Just One More Dare, Book 2 in the Sterling Family series, is a light, spicy, best friend’s little sister/forbidden, contemporary sports romance that can be read as a standalone. Download today and get ready to fall for the youngest Dare and the man of her dreams!

For new-to-me readers: A stand-alone story of two people with a history of sizzling attraction.
For long-time readers: Yes, that Samantha Dare! Yes, you will see Ian Dare!

Don’t miss out on the first book in the series, JUST ONE MORE MOMENT:
