Blurb
Jordan Hawthorne thought she had it all until a surprise for her fiancé turns into losing everything that she ever wanted. She flees her home in Charlotte, North Carolina to take a new job in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and make a new start where her ex-fiancé can’t find her. Jordan is just beginning to adjust to her new life in the middle of nowhere when a small town cowboy walks in and disrupts it all.
Tom McCloud never had time for a serious commitment, always too busy with running his grandparents’ farm. Everything changes when he stumbles upon a broken-hearted city girl and a steamy buzz ignites between them. But what happens when the city girl can’t stay hidden in the country for long?
My Rating:
Favorite Quotes:
“You’re making my heart do things it’s never done before.”
“He gave me a mix of nervous excitement and calm. I didn’t know how it was possible, but it
was.”
My Review:
Sweet! I enjoyed this
book beginning to end. It was truly
refreshing to read a contemporary romance where the two main characters are not
in constant conflict with each other, nor do they fight their attraction, deny
their feelings, or feel they have to “let them go” for their own good. They adored and loved each other, enjoyed and
explored a new love, and reveled in each other.
Why is that so rare? The
conflict, as there always has to be some… came from an external source and
proved to be the vortex of the suspense elements in the book. I had not read Jaycee Ford before and had no
expectations. I am now a new fan. I enjoyed her easy narrative, humor, and
observations. Her characters were
interesting and comfortable. The book
was an easy and fast read, a providing me with a pleasant and entertaining
afternoon. One I would like to repeat
with more of her work.

Blitz, Giveaway: A League of Her Own by Karen Rock
.jpg)
He was attractive, talented…and way off limits.
Heather Gadway may have been a world-class college pitcher and a top university coach, but she's a rank amateur when it comes to managing the Falcons, her father's struggling minor league team. And when it comes to managing her aggravating attraction to Garrett Wolf, their talented new pitcher. It's going to be difficult enough to make it as the first female manager in the league and prove to her overly critical father she's worthy. No distractions. No missteps. And certainly no romances with players. Everything stands between them—including their troubled pasts—even as Heather's world falls apart and Garrett's the one who's there to catch her…
PRE-ORDER
Garrett groaned, longing sharpening his features. “You.”
Without waiting for her response, his lips captured hers. She knew she should push him away, but instead her head fell back, her pulse leaping in her throat. The pressure was exquisite as he nibbled and explored. Soft. Warm. Gentle. His lips moved slowly, gradually exerting more pressure.
This felt incredible. Better than the last time. She had to stop this, but need seized her, shoving aside her good intentions.
Her body hummed and a fuzzy sensation filled her head, making it hard to focus on anything but the feel of him, the evergreen scent of the forest and his aftershave heightening her senses.
His hands gripped her waist as she swayed against him, holding her as his mouth sampled her lower lip, then put pressure on the top. Nerves sent small shock waves through her chest, and her hand rose to stroke the back of his neck, making him tremble against her.
Suddenly his kiss intensified, growing fierce and demanding. His lips moved fast against hers, their tongues tangling, causing warmth to explode in her body, melting every piece of her.
She moaned and Garrett’s arms tightened, bringing her closer still. Her lips maneuvered against his in response, loving his sweet taste. Garrett shuddered, curling his fist into her hair with a groan. She loved how her touch affected him, how it affected her.
At last his lips let her go, and he looked down at her tenderly, pleasure in his eyes, his chest rising and falling hard.
“I wasn’t getting involved with anyone. Planned to focus only on baseball,” he said when his breath came easier. “But I can’t stay away from you. You follow me, even in my sleep. Your eyes.” He kissed each lid. “Your smile.” He pressed his lips to each corner. “These freckles.” His warm mouth brushed her cheeks.
Her chest expanded, taking in his beautiful words. This incredible moment. And then it hit her, reality a cold shower.
She opened her eyes and scooted away. “Garrett. I don’t know.”
His eyes moved out over the falls, tracking the sprays of water as they hit the jutting rocks and tumbled to earth. “You don’t trust me.”
Her mouth opened and closed. He was right. While he touched a chord inside that’d never sounded for anyone else, she still couldn’t put her heart in harm’s way again. And she knew without a doubt that if Garrett let her down, he’d devastate her as much as her mother had. Even more. She’d loved and lost too many times to try again, especially with her father gone so recently.
“I’m sorry,” she said inadequately as he stood and helped her to her feet.
His blank expression gave little away. She wondered if, deep down, a part of him was relieved they weren’t taking things further. He’d said he hadn’t wanted distractions. And now she wouldn’t be one.
“I can’t make you believe in me, Heather.” His voice was steady and strong. “I need someone who’ll give me a chance to earn her trust.”
She’d love to connect with you!

He’ll teach her to love her body…one spanking at a time.
Brienna Morgan has worked hard to look good. Ten years ago she stuck to the shadows, watching the popular kids, wishing she could be one of them. But when they weren’t calling her cruel names, nobody noticed the smart overweight girl with the glasses.
So when she braves her high school reunion and runs into Kade McBride, the boy she loved from afar, the last thing she wants is for him to remember her. It’s bad enough she still sees that girl every time she looks in the mirror. But Kade does remember—and he makes it impossible for Brie to refuse to go out with him. She’s not convinced it’s a good idea, but she can’t pass up the opportunity to be part of the in crowd.
Kade had no desire to go to his high school reunion. As far as he’s concerned, he’d rather forget those days. Especially the day he screwed up and left his best friend to pay the ultimate price. But when he sees the gorgeous woman enter the gym, he’s immediately drawn to her. Regardless of her claims that she’s not the girl he thinks he remembers, Kade realizes maybe he’s been given a second chance to right at least one wrong from his past. And he’s determined not to throw this opportunity away, even if he has to tie Brienna to a spanking bench to prove his point.

I was shocked when Brock asked me to move back to Philadelphia and even more so when he'd declared that he'd choose me over his family. Reed, the man I'd thought had honor had turned out to be a bastard, but the guy who everyone said was bad news was starting to look a lot like a white knight.
Back in Las Vegas and trying to decide what to do about Brock Michaels' offer, Piper Black finds herself torn between the man she cares for and the reputation he supposedly has. She tells herself that he's changing for her, but she isn't sure if that means she wants to move for him.
Is Brock really who he seems to be, or is he just one more man who will break Piper's heart?
Find out the truth in this third installment of M.S. Parker's smoking series, Sinful Desires.

Excerpt
Bound by
Duty released on July 24 and is Stormy Smith’s debut novel. It’s already
climbing the Amazon hot new release bestsellers list and today we wanted to
give you a preview.
To set
the stage, this scene features Amelia and Aidan. They are just getting to know
each other and both have pasts that have irrevocably changed the people they
have become. There are secrets and fears that have been buried their whole
lives. The question is if they can trust each other?
Without
looking back at me, he squeezed my hand tightly. His fingers pressing hard into
the divots between the bones in my hand. He clutched at my hand as if I could
keep him here, pull him away from the memories that overwhelmed him, that
threatened to pull him down into a place I could feel he didn’t want to go.
“You can
tell me, but only if you want to.” I put the words between us and let the
silence follow. Turning back to stare at the sky, I gave him time to decide. I
had no idea what he had been through, what he would say, but I understood what
the darkness of truth could do to you if you let it.
“I don’t
know why, but I want to tell you, Amelia. It’s insane because I never tell
anyone this stuff. But, I want to tell you. Before this goes any further, I
want you to know who I am.” He still wasn’t looking at me so while I saw him in
my peripheral, I kept my gaze on the clouds. “Then, tell me,” I said. Taking a
deep breath, I finished with a surprising, “Tell me and I’ll tell you.”
The
longer Aidan held my hand, the more I got used to the feel of my nerves being
raw and the increased sensations that vibrated from our point of contact
throughout the rest of my body. As I lay there, waiting for him to speak, he
kept our hands locked, sliding his middle finger up and down in a slow rhythm
over the back of my hand. I could feel callouses on his palm and the heat he
radiated. It was soothing and, for once, I was truly in control, at least as
far as my power was concerned. My heartbeat, however, raced triple time as I
had time to realize that I was laying on the forest floor holding hands with
Aidan Montgomery, waiting for him to unlock doors I hadn’t known I wanted
inside of. Someone I could give some of my truth to and who wanted to give me
theirs in return.
