Title: COUNTERFEIT BOYFRIENDAuthor: Cindi MadsenGenre: Contemporary RomanceAbout Counterfeit Boyfriend:My twin brother’s talked me into a lot of crazy things, but taking his place on a road trip with his girlfriend so he can party with his friends is a whole new level of insanity. What’s even more insane is I somehow find myself agreeing to it—thanks, alcohol, guilt, and bribery. I’m determined to undo the arrangement, but then I meet Gwen, this sexy redheaded hurricane of energy and brains. And then she kisses me. Just like that, I’m driving her up the coast, on our way to a wedding with a mess of complications. With each hour and each stop, I’m falling harder and harder for a woman who doesn’t know my actual name. I’m trying to do the right thing. Or the lesser of the wrong things. All my life I’ve had to clean up my brother’s messes, but for the first time ever, I’ve landed the upper hand in one of our switcheroo schemes. Now I’ve just got to come clean and convince Gwen that I’m the brother she should be with.

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT:I peeled back the covers and sheet and helped her into bed. Her red hair splayed out on the pillow, a stark contrast to the white. Man, she was pretty. Considering she’d told the hotel clerk that she was taking advantage of me, she was also slightly delusional.
It stung every time she used my brother’s name. But again, no one to blame but myself.
The oxygen drained from my lungs. I didn’t know if I could be as strong as I needed to be if I crawled into that bed. Her arm swung out, sweeping the air until she made contact with my wrist. I could’ve easily resisted the tug, but I didn’t want to.
I bit back a groan—she wasn’t going to make this easy. I kicked off my shoes, considered taking off my jeans and then decided that’d only ensure my failure to behave, and climbed in next to her. Rustling came from her side, and the next thing I knew, she’d thrown her bra and shorts out of the bed, leaving her in only her shirt and… I resisted looking, even though it was all I could think about. I wasn’t Superman; I was a fucking saint. My sainthood was tested when she snuggled up to me, resting her head on my shoulder and hooking her leg over both of mine. Having her next to me was the sweetest kind of torture. Her warm breath hit my neck a mere moment before her soft lips. She was definitely initiating, and I was definitely turned on. But I was also definitely shutting it down. Since I didn’t want to hurt her feelings, especially after that ridiculous comment about being disappointed, I gently shifted, pulling her back against my front. I couldn’t do much about the hard-on. Her ass was right there. A choked noise escaped my mouth as she wiggled against me. Taking shallow, tempered sips of air, I dragged my fingertips over her arm and back up. Over her shoulder and down her spine. Her breathing slowed; mine quickened. Her body relaxed; mine tensed. She let go and let sleep take her; I clung on to consciousness, soaking in the way she felt in my arms. Hadn’t I already accepted the fact that I was going to hell for this? Paving my way with every stolen look, kiss, and touch? I settled my hand on her hip and kissed the back of her head. If so, let me burn.

Title: Beach Bum Billion-Heiress
Series: Beach Squad Series
Author: Marika Ray
Genre: Billionaire/Opposites Attract
Publication Date: June 21, 2018
When a hippie girl with a free spirit grows up in an "old money" conservative family, arguments are sure to ensue. Right before her thirtieth birthday, Sage's father, sick of her bohemian lifestyle, gives her an ultimatum - tear down The Surf Shack in Huntington Beach and build a five-star restaurant, or lose her trust fund AND his multi-billion dollar company.
Jax, the owner of The Surf Shack, has vowed to keep his late father's shop running while juggling his full-time job as a beach lifeguard...even if the hot little thing in a business suit tempts him with her conflicting personalities. Is she a business shark in a designer suit? Or a Mother Earth loving hippie who wants to get dirty with him?
Ultimately, they'll have to decide what's worth fighting for: love or legacy.
Marika Ray spends her time behind a computer crafting stories, walking the beaches of southern California scoping out the lifeguards, and making healthy food for her kids and husband whether they like it or not. Prior to writing novels, Marika held various jobs in the finance industry, with private start-up companies, and then in health & fitness. Cats may have nine lives, but Marika believes everyone should have nine careers to keep things spicy.
Marika enjoys writing all types of fiction novels, based on what inspires her. Right now she's working on stand-alone romances in the Beach Squad series, all about California lifeguards and their equally fearless women. Moderate suspense, a splash of humor, and lots of steamy romance...all with the beautiful ocean as a relaxing backdrop!

Tucked away at the base of the Rocky Mountains lived a little boy with one singular dream: leave this broken and battered home and become someone. Be somebody’s hero. That boy was me—Colby Brooks. Except I’m not that same little boy anymore. My dreams might still be the same, but my reality isn’t. I’m smarter. Stronger. A man. And I learned a long damn time ago, the only way to achieve my dreams was to avoid distractions—at any cost. Focus. Resolve. Determination. But all it took was one single night. One night and my entire life…changed. One night had me colliding head first with the biggest distraction of my life; Rory Oaks. Smart. Charming. Beautiful. Rory changed everything. Quickly, my one-track mind started to bend. Each kiss faded decade-long dreams. And with one single incident, I fly off course.
5 Star Review by BrittanyI was totally going to give this book 4 stars, but I gave it five because that cliffy...that's gonna get readers mad, but man, will it get them to read the next book. I was warned when I first signed up to review this book as a blogger that this book was gonna end on a cliffhanger, but I was not expecting what happened in the least. Rory and Colby are so cute together. They are an adorable couple and they fell for each other fast and hard. They'd do anything for each other, and I really mean anything. That's the kind of love that I want one day. This book was so sweet. The relationships between each character is very strong. You can tell they all care for each other deeply. And there's more than just Colby and Rory's relationship at work in this book. You also have Stryder dealing with stuff and shutting everyone out. This book didn't have anything that stood out, that's why I was going to originally give it four stars. But like I said, that cliffhanger is just so perfect, I had to give it five.
THE DOWNSIDE OF LOVE – July 5th
Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped. Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking. Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

Are you ready to go deep and feel the burn?
From USA Today bestselling author Kimberly Kincaid comes DOWN DEEP, the next standalone title in the Station Seventeen series, releasing June 18th! Grab you copy today!
Ian Gamble has a past he’d rather forget—which is exactly what he’s doing at The Crooked Angel Bar and Grill when the place catches fire. Between his active duty in the Marines and his experience as a firefighter, his instincts get him and hot, headstrong bar manager, Kennedy Matthews, to safety. But those same instincts kick into high gear when the fire is ruled an arson, and he discovers Kennedy’s got secrets of her own.
The only thing that matters more to Kennedy than her bar is her brother. When she finds out he’s in over his head with a dangerous arsonist, she’ll do anything to keep him safe—even if it means teaming up with Gamble, who’s too sharp-eyed and hard-bodied for his own good. With every step, their attraction flares hotter and the risks grow more dangerous. Can Gamble and Kennedy face their fears—and their secrets—to catch a terrifying enemy? Or will they go down in flames?
Amazon * Barnes & Noble * iBooks * Kobo
Watching his friends head back toward the pool table, he couldn’t help but shake his head a little at the idea of a relationship that deep. Sexual attraction, he got. A couple of hot-sex hookups here and there to satisfy said attraction? He got those, too. But the sort of no-holds-barred love that McCullough and Capelli and a few other members of Seventeen had tumbled into lately seemed as alien to him as little green men, complete with flying saucers and moon dust.
People swore they saw that shit; hell, they believed it in their bones. But as far as he was concerned, they were all fucking crazy. “Well, well. Lieutenant Gamble. Aren’t you a sight for sore eyes?” The throaty, feminine voice hit Gamble point-blank from the business end of the bar, and God damn it, he must have more of a beer buzz than he’d thought. He was almost always hyper-aware of his surroundings—especially when they involved someone as sexy as Kennedy Matthews. Yet, here she was in front of him, wearing a form-fitting red top and a brash, brows-up stare, and for a fleeting second, he wondered if her smile tasted as tart as it looked. “If you say so,” he told her, while snuffing out the unbidden thought. Not that he hadn’t entertained it dozens of times before, or thought about tasting Kennedy in places other than her mouth. But as the manager and head bartender of their regular hangout, she was almost as much a part of his inner circle as his fellow firefighters, and—like his rookie—Gamble knew far better than to muddy that water with a good, fast fuck. “Can I get another beer, please?” Kennedy’s darkly lined eyes widened for just a heartbeat before narrowing over the frost-covered bottle in his hand, the piercing in her eyebrow glinting in the soft overhead light of the bar. “That one is nearly full.” “Not for long.” He was already on his way to a decent beer buzz, courtesy of the bartender who had been working this section of the bar before Kennedy had come out of the back. He’d stick to beer for now to keep a low profile. Once everyone from Seventeen started heading home in a little while, he’d kick his night into high gear. Kennedy paused. She was tougher than she looked, which was saying something since she had as much ink and even more hardware than Gamble did, with a watercolor tattoo that spanned from the middle of her bicep to her shoulder and the top of her chest, and tiny silver studs and hoops marching all the way up her left ear to match the piercing in her eyebrow. But he returned her calculating stare with one of his own, until she lifted one sleekly muscled shoulder and let it drop. “It’s your liver, tough guy.” She reached into the cooler built in beneath the bar, popping the cap off the beer she’d unearthed and placing it over a napkin on the glossy wood in front of him before turning to saunter off. Gamble watched her go, his eyes lingering on the way her ass filled out her jeans like a fuckable version of an upside-down heart. He couldn’t deny being tempted. Shit, he’d have to be pulseless not to be. But even if he did decide to break his personal protocol and see if Kennedy was up for blowing off a little steam between the sheets, it wouldn’t be tonight. Tonight wasn’t about anything other than him, a bottle of Patrón Platinum, and the ghosts he’d never shake.

Amazon US: https://amzn.to/2wp3GoC Amazon Universal: http://mybook.to/TheHookerandtheHermit Excerpt: *Will* When I saw how spotless the shared living space was, I allowed my curiosity to get the better of me and peeked my head into her bathroom, Rocky dancing around my feet as I entered the space. The counters were covered in woman-products, but the marble surface and sink were free of water spots, and the glass of the shower had been wiped clean.I glanced at Rocky. He glanced at me. Bemused, I chuckled to myself, about to turn back to the door, and that’s when I spotted it. A dildo. A big, Pyrex dildo. With ridges. In the shower. I froze, blinked, and I stared at it, my brain sluggish. Oddly, I had to remind myself to breathe. Likely because I was . . . I was-- I was shocked. I shook myself, tearing my eyes from it and rubbing my chest where an odd kind of pang was spreading mild warmth up my neck. But why was I shocked? Why should I be surprised? Despite my never seeing her that way, Josey was a woman and women have needs. Don’t they? I hadn’t grown up around women--any women. My mother died when she had my youngest brother. My grandmother died before I was born. I had no sisters. We lived on a farm, way out in BFN Oklahoma. Girls—women—and their bodies were sacred lands of the unknown to us Moore boys. Unbidden--completely unbidden—an image of Josey flashed through my mind’s eye. Her full lips parted, her big eyes closed, causing her thick black lashes to catch droplets of water before they dripped over her sharp cheekbones. Her head would be lolled back as shower spray melted bubbles of slippery soap, sliding down her bare skin as they dissolved. Her legs would be parted, and maybe one hand would be braced against the wall of the shower while the other moved in a steady rhythm. Holding that huge, glass dildo. I swallowed a sudden rush of salvia and, unable to help myself, I leaned closer to the sex toy, examining it and comparing its size against my own. I was bigger. But not by much. And for some reason, this realization made me instantly hard. Crap. Of course I knew Josey was a woman, but until this moment, I’d never really thought of her that way. Not even the tampon-mountain drove the point home. Up until this point, she was someone I liked as a person, someone who made me laugh, who was smart and compassionate, someone around whom I felt completely comfortable. A good—no, a great companion. She was still all of those things, except— Except now I’ve pictured her naked.

Can PJ set aside her own tormented past to lose herself in the intensity of Seth? Can he convince her that he can weld their lives together into something beautiful?
From award winning author, LJ Evans, comes a novel inspired by Bon Jovi songs that shows how love and acceptance can heal even the toughest scars.
“Do not pick up this book unless you're ready to invest your heart. Ms. Evans has created another raw and powerful story about love and hope and forgiveness!” "There's a lyricism to Evans' writing." "I was driven to read their life story & it was so beautifully done, every word & scene." "Heart wrenching & beautiful storytelling!!!" “(Ms. Evans) beautiful way with words just floats off the page and straight to your heart pulling you in…” “It was beautifully written… their story was heartbreaking, beautiful and so touching.” “There was such magic in (LJ Evans) words that you can't resist highlighting every sentence because it spoke dearly to your heart…”
“Seth…” She looked away from him, trying to find the words. He took her chin in his hand and pulled her face so that she was forced to look at him. “What?” “I… this was a mistake.” She just said it. There was no other way of putting it. But she regretted it as soon as the tension returned to his body. She regretted it because her heart and body were warring with her brain and her conscious. “No, it wasn’t,” he said as if the force of his words could make her feel that way too. He pulled her off the chair and wrapped her in his arms. Her face was pressed against his chest, and his words, when he spoke them, vibrated against her cheek and down into her body as if he was trying to embed them there. “The only mistake we could make right now is if you walked out my door and never came back. That would be the only mistake. Making love. Giving in to whatever this is between us, none of that was a mistake.” She pulled away still uncertain of herself more than of him. He let her pull away but watched her closely. Waiting for her to react. As she returned his stare, she knew that even if she walked out the door that minute and never came back, there would still be a mark on her soul that he’d already left.
Award-winning author, LJ Evans, is known for binge reading, binge watching, and binge writing.

Stud is my favorite of the Dragon Runner's. I knew that from reading Mute. Stud is in a band, a lawyer, a bad boy, and in a motorcycle club. Doesn't get much hotter than that.

Author Bio
ML Nystrom had stories in her head since she was a child. All sorts of stories of fantasy, romance, mystery and anything else that captured her interest. A voracious reader, sheâs spent many hours devouring books; therefore, she found it only fitting she should write a few herself!
ML has spent most of my life as a performing musician and band instrument repair technician, but that doesnât mean sheâs pigeon-holed into one mold. Sheâs been a university professor, belly dancer, craftsperson, soap maker, singer, rock band artist, jewelry maker, lifeguard, swim coach, and whatever else she felt like exploring. As one of her students said to her once, "Lifeâs too short to ignore the opportunities." She has no intention of ever stopping... so welcome to her story world. She hopes you enjoy it!

Red, White and True by Maren Smith and Katherine Deane Coming June 29 Teasers:Cherry on Top by Katherine Deane“Now come on, and I’ll give you a proper tour.” He followed the woman from his dreams through her apartment. Shit. Dreams were nothing compared to Cherry in real life. Now that they were inside, he could get a better look at her features. Plump, red lips that she nibbled on. It seemed to be a nervous reaction, so he hunched down a bit, trying to make himself a bit less intimidating. At six-foot-five, he was used to using his body to scare people. But the way she kept nibbling on her bottom lip and wiggling her nose while a tinge of pink settled across her cheeks was getting him closer to just saying fuck the mission. He wanted nothing more than to toss her over his shoulder, rip off her clothes, lay her on her bed, and bury himself so deep in her that they would both ache in the morning. Yeah, that wasn’t going to cut it. Not on this mission. Not with this partner. He hunched a bit more and followed her as she gave him the quick tour of her apartment and the lock-off additional bedroom on the other side of the living room. Her ass wiggled with each step she took, and he cursed his libido, promising himself a very torturous cold shower later. The woman didn’t seem to know it, but she was a walking, talking, joking sex pill. The way her yoga pants sculpted every part of her lower body, her hips, her thighs, her ass. Her Star Wars t-shirt stretched over her amazing breasts. What kind of bra did she wear underneath? She didn’t strike him as the lacy, frilly kind of woman. But the way her nipples peeked out from beneath the charcoal-colored cotton shirt, and their firm, full roundness, also meant she wasn’t wearing the binding type of exercise bras that most of the women in his company wore either. There were only ten women in his company on base. They were fit, athletic, with toned muscles that most of his buddies all fawned over. But he wasn’t called to the overly fit and active women. He preferred his women with curves. Enough that he could dig his hands into and grip tightly while he pummeled her with his cock. The kind that wouldn’t get hurt if he put some of his weight on her while fucking her hard. The kind of woman that was standing in front of him, with an eyebrow raised as if waiting for an answer. But he didn’t have one, because he hadn’t been listening, instead choosing to undress her in his mind, while mapping out all the different locations in this apartment that he could take her and how. Her room: on her back, spread eagle while he licked her entire body. The shower: held up against the wall with her legs wrapped around his hips while he took her hard and fast. The kitchen: bent over the counter so he could spank her ass and then fuck her from behind. The living room: on the floor on all fours. His room: slow lovemaking, after which he would hold her in his arms while they both slept. He had missed a few rooms. The hall? Shit, she was still looking at him. What was this woman doing to him? He’d never felt this attracted to a woman before, and it was killing him. His best friend would literally have his head. And his cock was in so much agony, he needed to get out of here ASAP. “Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention. What’d I miss?” She grinned. “Right after I asked if you wanted something to drink, you mentioned us missing the hall. What’d we miss in the hall?” Damn. “Nothing.

She loves cheese, red wine, chocolate, and snuggling up with her daughters’ kittens while reading a good book. When not reading, or writing, you can find her knitting, sewing, crafting, or doing pretty much anything to keep her hands busy. She has taken over the dining room AKA craft room, much to her husband’s dismay. In one of her books, an energetic “craftaholic” would find herself over her husband’s knee for losing an important document in a pile of bi-cone crystals and mod podge. Her real life, and the people in them, give her plenty of ideas to work with. Katherine has dubbed herself the queen of cheese. Not only is she a former Midwestern Cheese Head; she also loves to incorporate it into her books. In her opinion, all romance deserves at least one cheesy scene that makes you cry.

5 Star Review by AshleyYou can't see me, but I've got one hand on my chest while I'm writing this review. You know that feeling when a book just blows your heart, that's Tattered for me. It was everything I've come to know and love from Devney Perry's writing. Bold. Passionate. Dangerous. Emotional. Sexy. Romantic. Throw in the small town vibe and it was magic waiting to happen. From the first chapter I was rooting for Thea and Logan. Too bad fate and circumstance had different plans. I loved Thea's strength. How she built herself into someone she could be proud of. Someone Charlie would be proud of. Their bond was so special. Gah! That little girl, with her sweet innocence and love for all things outdoors just stole my heart. Oh what a fun turn things took when fate brought Logan and Thea face to face years later. I loved that their connection and chemistry was still there. But it was the longing and desire for something more even with Charlie in the mix to keep them guessing that had me swooning like mad. Logan was charmed to the bones by Charlie. There was no way he couldn't be. He was equally enamored with Thea and pulled out all the stops to charm her. But how could this work? Their lives were wildly different. Boardrooms and bar stools. Suits and jeans. Dinner meetings and goodnight stories. Cue the angst. Especially when Logan gets Thea and Charlie to live in his world for a hot minute. Can you say disaster. I could see it coming, Thea could see it coming- the only person who didn't was Logan. Oh my heart- because when Logan FINALLY figured it out when he saw it, it was as if the clouds parted, the sun shone and the birds sang. That hint of danger in the mix had my eyes reading as fast as they could to see just what would happen. I was glued to my book. At times Tattered left me breathless, others it had my heart pounding. Logan and Thea, and Charlie, too, just stole my heart and I can't wait to return to Lark Cove to see them again!
5 Star Review by LorenaMy first book by this author and she's left me with the biggest and most content heart ever! Every word spoken, written and read in this book was beautiful. I couldn't put my book down because that's just how much I loved each and every word imprinted in this book. Logan is definitely my new book boyfriend of the year! Thea has suffered all her life and all she ever wanted was to have a family, people to love her and she could love right back. She was skeptical when it came to men, she was tattered. When she has a one night stand with Logan, consequences arose from that one night stand and she ended up with a child. She tried searching for Logan but it was kind of hard to find him when she knew nothing about him, not even his last name. Logan came back to the hotel months later after his one night with Thea but she was no longer working there. He gave up searching for her and moved on with his life. But one day (years later) he ends up in the same hometown as Thea, and sees the resemblance to her daughter and he captures it right away. He knew, without a doubt, that this little girl was his daughter. Logan swears that he wants to be a part of his little girl's life and also wants to see where it leads with Thea. He finds her extremely attractive and he was never able to forget that one unforgettable night they had together. Thea is reluctant and doesn't think Logan will come through with stepping up in being a father since she's so used to always being let down. But Logan, being the sweetest man on earth will do whatever it takes to prove to Thea and Charlie that he wants to be a part of their lives and will do just that. When Thea and Charlie go back to NY with Logan, he has high hopes that they will consider moving with him permanently and they can start their lives there. But he has another thing coming if he thinks he's going to persuade both Thea and his daughter to do just that. What will Logan do now that he knows Thea and Charlie will not, under any circumstance, move to New York City. Thea and Logan were the perfect couple. She was sweet, dedicated and loved with all her heart and Logan was charming, lovable and sexy as heck. So can Logan win both Thea and Charlie's hearts and become one charming family?? This book had 100% of my undivided attention. I was so in love with this book and can quite honestly say that this is one of the best I've read this year!
