COVER REVEAL: The Hookup Equation by Roxie Noir

THUE - CR banner


Teach me everything.


The Hookup Equation, all-new hilarious standalone romantic comedy from Roxie Noir, is coming February 26th, and we have the dreamy cover!


The Hookup Equation Final

My whole life, I’ve been a good girl. I follow rules like nobody’s business. I obey guidelines like I was born to it. Show me a line, and I’ll toe it.
I’m even a twenty-two-year-old virgin. Good is my middle name.
And then, I break one tiny little rule. Miniscule. Inconsequential.
Next thing I know, I’m trapped with an incredibly handsome stranger. He’s got eyes like cut emeralds, biceps that makes my head spin, and a smile that has me rethinking all my life choices.
We escape a bar bathroom together. We go on an impromptu date. We share the hottest kiss I’ve ever had, one that leaves me panting for more. We promise to see each other again.
Turns out, we see each other the next morning.
In my calculus class.
Which he’s teaching.
My handsome, sexy date is Professor Loveless, and we’ll be seeing each other plenty. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday all semester.
There’s no choice but to call it off. We both have too much at stake: I could lose my scholarship, and he could lose his entire career.
But I can’t call off the way I feel.
I can’t call off the way he looks when he rolls up his sleeves and explains imaginary numbers.
I can’t call off the heated glances, or the way our hands touch when I hand in my homework, or the memory of his body pressing against mine that night.
I’m a virgin.
He’s my professor.
And if we give in, it could cost us both everything.
But I’m so tired of being a good girl.

COVER REVEAL: No Strings Attached by Jiffy Kate


Release Date: February 13



My name is Jude Harris and I’m an adrenaline junkie. 

If it makes my heart pound and my blood rush, I’m all in. 

That’s how I ended up at the sex club. 

It was supposed to be one night of fun.


No names.


No professions.

No small talk.
Perfect anonymity.

One hundred percent no strings attached.

I thought I could handle the rules, but that was before I saw her.

I should've walked and forgotten the whole thing. 

Coulda, shoulda, woulda… didn’t. 


She told me not to get attached, but I did it anyway. 

If I thought our first sexual encounter changed my life, the second one rearranged my future.

EXCERPT REVEAL: Truth or Dare by Isabel Lucero

 

TRUTH OR DARE (Kingston Brothers #2) 
by Isabel Lucero #
Release Date: February 7th 
Trope: Friends-to-lovers 
Genre: Contemporary romance 

 Add to Goodreads: http://bit.ly/TruthorDareTBR 

 PREORDER TODAY!! 

  



At a party with friends, after a couple of body shots and a risqué game of Truth or Dare, lines are crossed between me and a long-time friend. 

I dare you to touch me.

Where?

Your choice.

She’s anti-relationships, and because I’m newly single, she believes she’s just a rebound. So, per her request, we’re traversing a friends-with-benefits situation and keeping it a secret so things don’t become awkward for everyone when this dies off. 

A short-lived fling is all she’s expecting, but here’s a truth for you...

I never intended for this to be just a fling. And now it’s time to prove to her that we’re meant for each other. We always have been.


  



Excerpt:


He smirks, then bends down and licks a tiny patch of skin right…on…my…thigh. Mostly the top, but very close to my inner thigh. And I almost shove his head between my legs. Jesus McChrist, I have got to keep it together.

Cillian sprinkles some salt over the moistened skin, grabs his shot glass, and gazes into my eyes. “Ready?”

Probably should’ve asked me that before licking my thigh, but what can you do? “Yeah, sure.” I hope I’m pulling off this nonchalance stuff as well as I think I am. He grins. Christ, I probably moaned those words out.

Cillian leans down to lick the salt off, but this time he’s much more thorough about it. His warm tongue caresses my thigh as he makes sure to lick off every salt crystal. He even administers a second lick in order to get it all. I’m ninety-eight percent sure I make a noise. A moan, a gasp, a curse. Something comes out of my mouth, but I’m intoxicated by the alcohol—and even more so by the man—that I’m not even sure what’s happening.

He stands up and takes the shot while watching me, and when I run my tongue across my lip, I realize I need to put the lime wedge in still. Once it’s between my lips, his large hands find residence on the counter on either side of me, and then he leans forward and takes the wedge into his mouth. His lips barely touch mine, but it’s enough to know I’m utterly screwed.

His eyes penetrate mine in a gaze so intense, I shiver. Hell, maybe that’s me remembering what his tongue feels like on my skin. I’ll never forget this moment for the rest of my life. I’m going to bed thinking about this moment, for sure. Cillian Kingston has just started something that I’m not sure I’m willing to let come to an end.

I swallow and lick my lips again. “My turn.”

COVER REVEAL: Tell Me Pretty Lies by Charleigh Rose

 

TELL ME PRETTY LIES by Charleigh Rose 
Release Date: March 18th   

    

BLURB


Three things my mother acquired when she became engaged: 

1. A brand new Tiffany’s ring. 

2. A lavish home on Heartbreak Hill. 

3. Three privileged stepsons.


The last thing I expected was to fall for one of them, least of all Thayer Ames.

Beautiful, brooding, and untouchable. 

I knew it was a bad idea. He warned me himself. 

But he was a thunderstorm, and I never could resist the rain. 

It was perfect…

Until it wasn’t. 

One night was all it took for our world to crumble around us, leaving only secrets and lies between us. 

Now, I have to face him again, and the boy I used to know has become the man who loves to hate me.

EXCERPT REVEAL: The Cruelest Stranger by Winter Renshaw











The first time I saw him was at a bar called Ophelia’s on a misty Thursday night. I was there to drown my sorrows after a trying day, he was there to escape the storm. After a brief yet incredibly cruel exchange, the handsome stranger bolted before I had a chance to tell him off. Incensed and three cocktails deep, I followed him out the door, determined to give the audacious Adonis a piece of my mind. 

Tearing after him in heels and barely able to keep up in the freezing rain, I ended my chase when I realized where he was going.

They say never to judge someone unless you know their story. 

I never could have anticipated his...

And I never could have anticipated the way our paths would cross again—or that I would one day find myself falling for a man with a hollow cavity where his heart should be, a man as callous as he was beautiful, as complicated as he was mesmeric. 

They say never to judge someone unless you know their story.

This one’s ours.



Astaire


The sound of children laughing and shuffling down the hallway Friday morning is my cue to silence my phone.

I tuck it into my top drawer for the day and reach for my coffee, stealing a few more sips before the craziness of the day ensues.

I found the Schoenbach obituary—if you can call it that—earlier this morning. The funeral home posted it sometime last night.

Her name was Larissa Cleary-Schoenbach, and she was twenty-seven when she passed. It mentioned no family, no cause of death, no photograph. Nothing more than a birthdate and a single line about a private sunrise memorial service tomorrow morning and the words INVITATION ONLY in bold red letters. All caps.

I spent a few minutes Googling “Larissa Cleary-Schoenbach” earlier this morning. But I couldn’t find a thing.

No social media.

No LinkedIn.

No archived newspaper articles of any kind.

No graduation archives; high school, college or otherwise.

It’s as if this woman never existed.

“Good morning, good morning!” I take my place at the front of the room, grinning and waving and trying to psych them up for the day. Fridays are hard. The kids are exhausted, attention spans are waning. My students hang their jackets and bags on their hooks and then make their way to their assigned square on the rug. “Happy Friday!”

I maintain the smile on my face, sing our morning song, and begin the day’s lesson, but today I can’t help but feel like I’m merely going through the motions. My mind is fixated on that man from the bar last night—and the mystery woman he’s burying.

With the hyphenated name and similar age, it’s fair to assume she was his wife.

At first I thought it seemed odd that she’d have a private sunrise memorial service, but maybe sunrises were her thing? And maybe her passing was so tragic and unspeakable that all he wants is to protect her privacy?

By the time the kids head out for first recess ninety minutes later, I’ve concocted a beautiful love story for the two of them. I’ve imagined a passionate, love-at-first-sight romance.

Trips to Paris.

A sunset proposal.

Slow dances in empty bars.

Lazy Sunday afternoons sipping tea and trading poetry.

Saturday strolls in Lincoln Park.

New Year’s Eve kisses on snowy hotel balconies, her lashes covered in snowflakes as he wraps her tight to keep her warm.

In my heart of hearts, I want to believe he was beautifully, wonderfully kind to her.

That he loved her more than anything in the entire world.

That her death shattered his heart into a million, irreparable pieces.

I want to believe that that was the cause of his cruelty last night.

That he’s simply angry at the world for taking the love of his life away from him.

Death and loss can do a number on you. It can change your entire personality if you let it. Some of my darkest days came in the months following Trevor’s passing.

I want to believe Bennett has friends and family getting him through this, but last night, Eduardo mentioned that when Bennett stops in, he never talks to anyone—which leads me to assume he only comes solo.

Maybe he’s painfully private?

Maybe she was his entire world? All he had?

Maybe they’d had a falling out and weren’t speaking when she died?

The kids return from recess, peeling out of their scarves and gloves, cheeks flushed and eyes wet from the cold. Making my way to the front of the classroom to start the next lesson, I decide to do what Trevor would do if here were still here: I give the cruel stranger from last night the benefit of the doubt.

And then I carry on with my day.

Dear Letter Girl, I need to see you. When can we meet?

Her response never came. My secret pen pal with a dirty mind has ghosted me. I've roped Jules, my sweet as pie next door neighbor, to help me track her down.

There's only one problem—I'm falling for her. The tortoise shell glasses, out of this world curves and delicious treats are making the search for The Letter Girl even harder.

My notes were supposed to be a one time thing. A little too much wine and naughty thoughts on a winter's night. I never thought Berk would write back. I wanted to tell him it was me, but the fear of rejection kept my lips sealed.

Now he’s enlisted my help to track down The Letter Girl and our search has him hot on my, ahem, her trail.

She's the girl next door.

He's my secret pen pal.

Truth is on a collision course with their hearts and it’s only a matter of time before one of them gets wrecked...

Caroline's Review

✮✮✮✮✮


What a fabulous read!!

"The Letter Girl had careened into my life like a damn smash and grab pro and wormed her way into my heart before I knew what happened."

Jules Kelland is The Letter Girl (TLG) who had been exchanging secret dirty letters with Berk Vaughn - unbeknownst to him. Until she suddenly stopped. Now Beck wants her help in trying to find out TLG's identity. There's no way that Jules will ever admit her identity to him for fear of rejection and losing the precious friendship they share.

"In a matter of days, Jules had gone from someone I looked forward to seeing every day, to someone I needed to see."

Berk friend-zoned sweet, beautiful Jules on first meeting because he'd been warned off her. No matter - as long as she kept baking her awesome cookies for him. However, as time goes on, his blinkers fall away and he starts seeing her in a new light. Once seen, there's no turning back.

""I'm starving for another cupcake." His mouth said cupcake, but his eyes said me."

This story was fun, soooo sexy, and also pretty emotional. Both Jules and Berk have their demons and insecurities to overcome, and it's a tough road for them, especially when there are forces that conspire to ruin what they have. They are so right together, their chemistry and connection is sizzling and heartwarming. For a big tough guy, Berk had such a vulnerable core. He was loyal and protective, and I adored how beautiful and desired he made Jules feel. I loved him hard! Jules is much braver that she realises, and hugely sweet, loving and thoughtful. Oh, but what a vixen in the bedroom! This was a fabulous addition to a brilliant series!
