Just for Christmas Night
The Blue Dynasty Book #3
By: Lisa Marie Perry



A red-hot holiday
Pro football publicist Martha Blue has something to prove. To protect the image of the Las Vegas Slayers—and stay employed— she has to shed her party-girl reputation. Fast! So no more mistakes. No further scandals. And absolutely no falling for the one man who can give her everything she wants…and nothing of what she needs.
Danger and desire never mixed well for undefeated prizefighter Joaquin Ryder. A friend of the Blue family, he’s a man who knows his boundaries…boundaries he has secretly crossed only once before. Now that he’s back in Sin City to train for the biggest fight of his career, he can’t afford to let a sexy distraction like Martha put him against the ropes. Revisiting their sizzling past is something he isn’t willing to risk—until a steamy Yuletide encounter, where for just one night, they’ll surrender completely….

Lisa Marie Perry encounters difficult fictional men and women on a daily basis. She writes contemporary romance fiction with plenty of sizzle, energy and depth. Flawed, problematic, damaged characters are welcome. Her tales feature exciting multicultural mash-ups, sexy guy-next-door heroes and powerful larger-than-life alphas who are brought to their knees by the love of complicated women.
According to Lisa Marie, an imagination’s a terrible thing to ignore. So is a good cappuccino. After years of college, customer service gigs and a career in caregiving, she at last gave in to buying an espresso machine and writing to her imagination’s desire. She lives in America’s heartland and she has every intention of making the Colorado mountains her new stomping grounds. She drives a truck, enjoys indie rock, collects Medieval literature, watches too many comedies, has a not-so-secret love for lace and adores rugged men with a little bit of nerd.

The new you could be someone unexpected…

Stunned by a life-changing secret and an unexpected inheritance, Cady Morrow leaves her responsible London life behind and hits the California flash mob trail. With her wild twin sister Shelby in tow, she’s determined to make every day of her new start count. So when they’re invited to travel on the flash mob team’s luxury tour bus—in close company with Reid, a man who sets her dangerously, deliciously off-kilter—Cady grabs the chance to be a different version of herself.

But she soon discovers that not everyone she encounters is who they seem to be. A complicated new family, unwelcome surprises, and secrets past and present test her faith in her reinvented self, as well as in those around her. And when Shelby goes missing, Cady has to rely on the enigmatic Reid for help, even as she doubts his motives—and her resistance to his teasing charm.

With the flash mob facing disaster, her sister in jeopardy, and things with Reid heating up, Cady realizes that what started as ‘fake it ’til you make it’ has become her reality. And when she finds herself in a life-threatening confrontation, she learns just how different she can really be…and exactly what she’ll do for the sake of a new start.

Finally  Time for Love #2
By: Miranda P. Charles




A pact with her best friends had Sarah Daley promising to make time for love after a long period of retreating from relationships. But before she embarked on finding her happily-ever-after, she wanted to do something she'd never done before--experience a short, hot fling. And the hunky Jeffrey Carmichael, grandson of the elderly lady who'd hired her as a private nurse, was the only guy who attracted her for that purpose.

Jeffrey Carmichael had long discovered that flings, not commitment, were what worked best for him. After being dumped by an ex-fiancée shortly after the most devastating period of his life, he'd decided that serious commitment wasn't all it was cracked up to be. So when he was presented with an opportunity to start a casual relationship with his grandmother's fun and pretty nurse, he simply couldn't resist.

When love entered uninvited, could they admit to wanting something more than temporary? And when Jeff couldn't avoid welcoming his ex-fiancée back into his life, could Sarah push aside her ghosts of the past and learn to trust again?
“Kiss, kiss.”

Sarah Daley whipped her head toward the hunk with dark hair and vivid blue eyes sitting next to her in the big hot tub. What?

Her two-second excitement at the thought that she might be the intended recipient of that comment was quickly dashed when she noticed that the gorgeous Jeffrey Carmichael wasn’t even looking at her.

“I’m almost hoping that there are paparazzi around to capture this moment,” Jeff said with a wry grin as he watched his older brother Zachary and Sarah’s best friend Rebecca Andrews kiss passionately by the poolside.

“Oh, let them be, Jeff,” Magda Carmichael said as she sank up to her neck in the heated pool, relishing the massaging effects of the water jets. “They’re in love.”

“Look at your face, Gran,” Jeff said to Magda with a laugh. “You’re so thrilled about this.”

“Of course, I am,” Magda replied. “I’m glad your brother and Rebecca settled their differences and reconciled. They’re wonderful together. Don’t you think so, Sarah?”

“Yes, they are, Magda,” Sarah said with a fond smile for her sweet eighty-year-old client.

“Well, I’m glad that you and Rebecca are on this ship with us. It produced a very satisfactory outcome,” Magda said smugly.

It had already been almost four weeks since Sarah and Rebecca boarded one of the world’s most luxurious cruise ships from Sydney, and Sarah was still overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of Magda Carmichael—the matriarch of one of Australia’s wealthiest families.   Read More
This book packed more than I expected! What happens when an agreed upon short fling a cruise turns into more than the two wary lovers bargain for? Sarah and Jeff both decide to act on their attraction for one another. Jeff is wary about a permanent romance, he has been burned before. Sarah has had her heart broken before, so she agrees to the short term romance.  So when they both start feeling more for one another, will they take a chance on Love? 

Great steamy scenes, the author does a great job developing characters. I didn't read the first in the series, Forever, prior to reading this book. I was didn't see it necessary but I will say the author did spark my interest to learn more about Rebecca and Zach, so I went ahead and purchased that.  :)

Ever since I was a young teenager, I have loved reading romance novels. My auntie used to send me boxes of her books and I would devour them one after another.
Every so often, I would read a mystery or a suspense or a paranormal novel as I love those genres too. But romance is still my favourite. :)
For many years, I wrote technical and non-fiction materials for professional use and had only dreamt about writing a novel. Then, one day, after a period of binge-reading sexy romances, I decided to sit in front of my computer and start writing my first fiction book. The result? My debut novel Will To Love, the first in the hot and sexy Lifestyle by Design series. After that, I knew that I would love to tell more beautiful love stories through my books.
I live in Sydney, Australia with my amazing husband who lovingly cheers me on in my journey as a novelist.

Love with a Perfect Cowboy
A Cupid Texas Novel
By: Lori Wilde

Releasing May 27th, 2014

Amazon   B&N   iTunes 

Cowboys always seem to have the most spectacular butts, probably from all that hard riding in the saddle. But Melody Spencer had long-ago wiped the dust of Cupid, Texas off her cute shoes…and done her best to forget the chiseled jaw, strong arms and those other assets of cowboy Luke Spencer. Their families might be part of a long-time feud, but he was her very first love even if it turned out they never wanted the same things.

But now Luke’s come striding back into her life, tempting her with the memories of long, lazy evenings and hot, passionate kisses. And he has an ulterior motive-as Mayor of Cupid, he knows Melody’s business savvy can help save their beloved hometown. His smooth-talking might get her to Texas, but that doesn’t mean he’ll get her in his bed. Still, people do say love can be more perfect the second time around…

Name: Luke Nielson

Age: 32
Occupation: Rancher/Mayor
Physical Description: He turned his head and the morning light illuminated his profile—straight nose, honed cheekbones, chiseled jaw. His hair was a dusty shade of light brown, his eyes fair. He was freshly clean-shaven, but had a heavy beard and that long before five o’clock he’d be sporting a shadow of stubble. In that regard he looked a bit like the actor Josh Holloway, who’d played Sawyer on the television show Lost.

Likes: Being a cowboy, riding ATVs in the desert, star gazing, romantic candlelight dinners, animals, fruit chews, Melody Spencer
Dislikes: Rude people, liars, droughts
Relationship Status: single
Typical Friday Night: Hanging out with family and friends.
Drink of Choice: Water
Favorite Food: Langoustine off Melody’s fork
Favorite Song: When Love Comes to Town
Choice of Transportation: Horseback
Boxers or Briefs: Boxer-briefs. Boxer-brief. Snug fit with coverage.
Best Memory to Date: Kissing Melody on the park bench on the Fourth of July
Words to live by: “Nobody’s perfect, darlin’, and that’s just the way it should be. Imagine how boring life would be without any mistakes.”

Desperate for respite from the rain and the recalcitrant suitcases, she stepped to the curb and stuck a hand up for an available taxi. One after another they passed her by. Finally, one did pull to a stop, but before she could muscle her suitcases into the street, a man jumped into the back seat, commandeering the cab away from her without so much as an apologetic glance in her direction. Life in the city. Survival of the fittest. Normally, she sharpened her teeth on obstacles, a fearless tigress taking on the world. Today, she felt like a newborn kitten that’d been both defanged and declawed. By the time a cab acknowledged her raised hand and pulled up, her hair was plastered to her face. The back tires splashed in a puddle, soaking her slacks up to her knees. Perfect. That’s the kind of morning she was having. The driver did not get out to help with the luggage or pop the trunk, just jabbered at her in broken English and a scolding tone as she struggled to get the drenched suitcases loaded into the seat beside her. Exhausted, she sank back against the seat and pulled the door closed. “Where you go?” demanded the cabbie who frowned sternly at her in the rear view mirror. Where indeed? Overwhelmed, she gave him Bethany’s address and he took off. Her friend would take her in, no questions asked, but that meant she’d have to tell Bethany everything. She sat brooding, staring at the city gone gray and dour in the rain. Yes, she knew this pity party wasn’t attractive, and she would snap out of it before she ended up on Bethany’s doorstep. If she was going to be an uninvited guest, she had to at least be pleasant to be around. Melody would allow herself to pout for the length of the time it took the cabbie to thread his way through the midtown traffic and over the bridge into Brooklyn, but after that, she would be all smiles and a gung-ho attitude. She would come out of this entire mess stronger and more confident than ever. Six minutes into the sulk, her cell phone rang. Who was calling her instead of texting? Everyone she knew texted. Well, except her mother. Please, don’t let it be Mother. She pulled her phone from her purse, and took a peek at the screen. Luke Nielson.
