Everything's Better With Kimberly By Lucy Eden

Title: Everything's Better with Kimberly

Author: Lucy Eden

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: January 31, 2019

Blurb

Kimberly Simmons is gorgeous, brilliant, and way out of my league. She’s definitely not the type to fall for a guy who walked away from his family's fortune to become an architect. Good thing, too, because she works for Wolfe Industries, making her completely off-limits. Nailing this pitch to Wolfe’s CEO is exactly what I need to make my bosses forget about the last time I mixed business with pleasure. Too bad she has the most beautiful brown eyes and dazzling smile I’ve ever seen. Too bad I can’t stop staring.

Adam Price is a talented rising star architect at Will and Peking Designs. His newest design submission for The Wolfe Industries Caribbean Expansion is set to dazzle my CEO. If Adam's design wins, with my help, I could get promoted, which means his big strong arms and gorgeous lips are strictly forbidden. It’s a good thing, too, because he has a reputation for leaving a trail of broken hearts all over Manhattan and I’m pretty sure I couldn't survive a second heartbreak. Too bad every word he says makes me smile. Too bad he gives me a sense of calm I haven't felt in a long time.

Keeping their relationship strictly professional for the sake of their jobs was the perfect excuse to stay away from each other. Too bad fate and undeniable chemistry have other plans…

This standalone, workplace/forced proximity romance features characters from the previous novellas Everything’s Better With You and Cherishing the Goddess, is full of alphas and steam, and has NO cheating.

Excerpt

“I’m sorry to interrupt you, but are you Adam Price?” It was his turn to be shocked and he smiled again.

“I am. How did you know that?” 

The Man-Whore. I was sitting next to the Man-Whore.

“Just a guess.” I shrugged.

“Well, I assume from your sudden change of expression, my reputation precedes me.”

My poker face needed some serious work. I tried to plaster on a professional smile. “You studied architecture at The Pratt Institute for both undergrad and grad school. You’ve worked on an impressive number of international projects before becoming the youngest senior architect at Will and Peking Design. Now, you’re on your way to Barbados to pitch WP for a hospitality project for Wolfe Industries.”

“That’s pretty impressive and spot on.” He nodded appreciatively. “Who are you?” 

“Thanks,” I said with a nod, feeling like I’d dodged a very uncomfortable bullet. “I’m Kimberly Simmons. I work for Wolfe. I’ll be working with you on the pitch.”

Rules of Engagement By Mika Jolie

Title: Rules of Engagement

A Platonically Complicated Novel

Author: Mika Jolie

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 25, 2019

Blurb

Rule #1: Don’t fall in love.

As a single dad, my life revolves around my daughter. No complaints…until my ex-wife forces my hand over custody.

I needed a cover story. In steps Katharine Morello. My best friend’s sister is ready and willing to be my fake fiancée.

Overnight we’re engaged. A temporary arrangement.

No sex.

No strings attached.

No complications.

Easy, right?

Not quite. The last few months, I’ve been doing dirty things to her in my imagination. But that’s all they’ll ever be. Fantasies.

Rule #2: Don’t give in to temptation.

Neither of us is looking for a relationship. Been there. Done that. Even drank the Kool-Aid.

So, you see, I can resist beautiful, sexy Katharine. It doesn’t matter she’s hot as f*ck with an amazing personality to boot. All I have to do is NOT touch her.

I’ve got this.

Spoiler Alert…One night make-believe merges with reality. Sparks fly—and burn.

Now I want her. All of her.

Rule #3: See rule #1—don’t fall in love.

Man. Hindsight’s a bitch.

Excerpt

She moves into my space and tilts her head up, her eyes light and mischievous. “Kiss me, Lucas.”

The breath leaves my lungs in one gigantic swoosh. “Are you sure?”

“Let’s give them a show.”

I’m about to kiss Kate.

This time, I’m prepared.

Clasping my hands on either side of her face, I angle my head slightly. There’s a pause. A suspended moment where our eyes meet. The swirl of emotions I see there—apprehension, lust, desire—makes my heart trip.

We exchange breath. And then finally, my mouth dips to hers.

I try to remind myself we’re pretending, to stay calm, and in control.

My mouth is firm against hers. Her lips are sugar plum sweet and silky soft. The kiss remains gentle, slow. We hold it for a few seconds before our lips begin to move in perfect sync, slowly, cautiously.

Curiosity nudges for more. I move my hand from her cheek to the back of her head, my fingers tangling in her hair, holding her lips to mine, silently asking for permission. To my delight, a needy little moan echoes from her mouth to mine. She wraps her arms around my neck and parts her lips in gentle invitation.

And our tongues hungrily say hello.

A stimulating cocktail of endorphins explodes inside me. Sparks fly in every direction, lighting me up like fireworks on the Fourth of July.

Every single nerve explodes with heat.

I’m fired up. Turned on.

From somewhere deep in the recesses of my mind, I know this is a cover, that we aren’t real, but with Kate’s lips on mine, it’s hard to keep that thought. On a groan, I take all she has to give and deepen the kiss, forging ahead with no regrets. No reservations.

Many tales have been written about the Big Apple. But there’s nothing like kissing the woman you’ve been thinking about for what feels like forever in the middle of Manhattan.

The chaos from the street fades. The worries of the day evaporate like a summer shower falling onto a hot car, all noise instantly muting. The click-clack of heels rushes by us. We don’t hear them. People brush against us. We don’t feel them.

We are locked in the present, kissing each other as equal partners in passion, fucking each other with our mouths like we’re drowning and we are each other’s air, as if our lips were created for this sole purpose.

Talk about heaven on earth. 

This kiss is easily the hottest, most erotic kiss of my life.

My pulse patters faster and faster. The heat pouring into my veins as if pumped in through a hypodermic needle has nothing to do with today’s summerlike temperature but with desire.

I move one arm low around her back, drawing her closer, letting her feel every inch of me, how much she affects me. And we kiss and kiss and kiss.

My Sister, The Serial Killer By Oyinkan Braithwaite

UPCOMING READ!!!! I am so used to my Kindle but nothing compares to holding a book in your hands. I have been discovering many jewels at the Public Library, and was so excited I finally came off the wait list for this book.  

Synopsis:

"Femi makes three, you know. Three and they label you a serial killer."

Korede is bitter. How could she not be? Her sister, Ayoola, is many things: the favorite child, the beautiful one, possibly sociopathic. And now Ayoola's third boyfriend in a row is dead. 

Korede's practicality is the sisters' saving grace. She knows the best solutions for cleaning blood, the trunk of her car is big enough for a body, and she keeps Ayoola from posting pictures of her dinner to Instagram when she should be mourning her "missing" boyfriend. Not that she gets any credit.

Korede has long been in love with a kind, handsome doctor at the hospital where she works. She dreams of the day when he will realize that she's exactly what he needs. But when he asks Korede for Ayoola's phone number, she must reckon with what her sister has become and how far she's willing to go to protect her.

Sharp as nails and full of deadpan wit, Oyinkan Braithwaite's deliciously deadly debut is as fun as it is frightening.

Following her degree, she worked as an assistant editor at Kachifo, a Nigerian publishing house, and has been freelancing as a writer and editor since.

RAW: REBIRTH BY BELLE AURORA

Title: RAW: Rebirth

Series: RAW Family #3

Author: Belle Aurora

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: January 2, 2019

It had been six years since my world was turned upside down.

He exposed me to the darker side of life and I could never go back to the person I was.

I had been through more things the average person couldn’t even relate to.

If I had the chance to go back and do things differently though?

Not a chance.

I’d pick him a thousand times. A million times. For eternity.

I guess not much has changed.

My name is Alexa Ballentine, and I am still in love with my stalker.

Like many of readers I have waited so long for this book to be dropped. Readers be warned if you haven’t read the other two books in the series YOU need to. I going to be completely honest in saying that Rebirth makes up for Dirty. We finally get closure with this book and to reconnect with Twitch and Lexi.  The author did not hold back in this book. Readers you do not have to wait for anything to be revealed at all. I will say Lexi was very trusting of the new people introduced to her considering the lifestyle Twitch had. I did like that we got to see Lexi & Twitch have their moment of truth, I will say that she makes him work for her love. A.J. is a doll and is a mini Twitch in the making. At times the story moved a little bit slow it was like going around in a circle with these two. I was just waiting for something to happen and then comes Ling. We all know she is a HOT MESS and in this story she is even HOTTER. She has always been a love to hate character for me and now this business with the Turk almost, ALMOST gives her a little humanity but this is Ling we are talking about she is a dragon. Now Molly (nanny) has a heck of a story and I wouldn’t mind knowing more on her character.

Twitch although he is working on being a better man is still the same Twitch if you mess with his family and that includes extended family you better watch out. The author did a good job of showing all sides of him the lover and the Boss that we know him to be. It was a good balance of their romance and business. I think it was cute to see them date each other and the sex scenes ( off the chart)!!!!! I wanted Lexi to find her backbone it seemed all the men in her life including her son ( at times) verbally abused her. Don’t get me wrong eventually she rises up as the Queen ( as Twitch calls her), I just wished it came a little sooner. I loved reading about Happy and Julius and their significant others. I don’t want to say too much because this book has so many WTF moments. This book had mayhem, love, laugh out loud moments and more importantly growth.  All in all I thoroughly enjoyed this book after finishing it all I could say was FINALLY!!!! It was the best piece of closure. I hope the author does continue with this series.

At an early age she fell in love with reading. Boredom one summer had her scouring the bookshelves at home. She stumbled across Sandra Brown’s Breath of Scandal and fell in love with romance.
Having been brought up in a loud and boisterous family of Croatian descent, she developed a natural love for dramatics and laughter. Only some years ago had she discovered a new love.
Humorous romance novels.
So many authors had opened a brand new world where she could lose herself yet feel safe and at home in their stories. Belle has been known to become a screeching banshee while anxiously awaiting their newest titles.
Belle never thought she would write. It had never interested her until recently. Friend-Zoned began to form and in February this year Belle typed the words Chapter One. And she fell in love.
With words.
With writing.
With a creative imagination she never knew she harbored.
