About Then Came Love:

Blazing heat, laugh-out-loud humor, and an abundance of swoon-worthy moments make this sexy standalone romance by New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melissa Foster unputdownable.

No cheating, no cliffhangers, and guaranteed to leave you breathlessly in love with the fiercely loyal and wickedly naughty Bradens.   

What happens when you find your soul mate but she belongs to someone else? Months ago, famed wedding-gown designer Jax Braden met the woman of his dreams when a bride-to-be came in for a consultation. He’s tried to move on, but there is no forgetting beautiful, smart, and refreshingly real Jordan Lawler, or the loneliness she cleverly tries to hide. When Jordan hires him to design her wedding gown, Jax knows he’s in trouble, but he cannot walk away. As business meetings turn to late-night confessions, their connection deepens, igniting passion too strong to deny. They’re drawn into an inescapable and forbidden love. Loyalties are tested and hearts are frayed, but neither will cross that invisible line in the sand. Come along for the sexy, emotional ride as Jax and Jordan face their toughest competitors yet—their hearts.   ** LOVE IN BLOOM novels feature alpha male heroes and smart, empowered women. They’re flawed, funny, passionate, and relatable to readers who enjoy sexy contemporary romance and women’s fiction.

Exclusive Excerpt:

WEDDINGS WERE SUPPOSED to be joyful, bringing families together and celebrating the future on what should be the happiest day of a woman’s life. But for Jordan Lawler they were bittersweet, making her long for the family she’d lost. She tried to push that longing aside, just as she’d done nearly every day for nineteen years, and enjoy the beautiful spring evening and the wedding reception of her close friend Trixie and Trixie’s new husband, Nick.She stood at the edge of the dance floor, taking in the glittering lights on the enormous barns and rustic wooden fences of their Pleasant Hill, Maryland, ranch. Lanterns dangled from tree limbs, and roses and wildflowers added a country touch to elegantly set tables. Trixie was a beautiful bride in a white strapless gown with exquisite pearl embellishments on the fitted bodice and a ruffled skirt that was long in the back and above the knee in the front, showing off her gorgeous legs and cowgirl boots. Her burly husband was equally handsome in dark dress slacks, a matching vest, and his ever-present cowboy hat. Jordan watched them chatting with two of Trixie’s brothers and a handful of Nick’s siblings and their parents. She had been introduced to so many Bradens and Jerichos tonight, it was hard to keep them all straight. Nick reached for Trixie’s hand, pulling her close with so much love in his eyes, Jordan was sure everyone around them felt it.She looked away from the painful reminder of what she would never have with her fiancé.“A beautiful woman like you shouldn’t be standing on the sidelines.”

WILDE TYPE:


I wanted to love Alex and Rox but the big turnoff for me was two medical professionals going to the local watering hole and getting their drink on. I don’t know any doctors or nurses who do that.

Meeting Ian was instantaneous live. Do I believe I’m that? Not really He is so eligible and single that the meeting was strange. For me it was hard to swallow. If I was a billionare the last place I would be is Botswana.

Medical procedures and some cases were good as well as accurate. That is why I finished it

Becoming Wilde:

Honestly this book was better plot wise than book 1. I have been reading for many many years and I dont get offended when I have to consult the dictionary to check a word or two, in this book it was more than a couple. The pet peeve about the countries to work in was again under my skin with the beginning in Tanzania. I just tried to over look that and the many others places visited. 

Things moved a little slow, it was wordy and a little too long for my taste. “Sweat dripped down her back in linear tributaries that joined together to form a pool at the band of Alex’s shorts.” This quote was just a small example of the wording. Just so you can judge if this is your type of book. For me it felt like an interview for a Hollywood scriptwriter. Thinking of Gone With The Wind or some other movie like that. 

 I enjoyed the return of Rox. There was a midpoint when Alex really needed her best friend. The relationship with Ian was up and down throughout, I wont give any of the plot away.  The best part for me was the Ian story and the sort of psychic consult.  The book leaves off not really putting a bow on the story. I will move on to book number 3.

I call it a mistake and try to run away as fast as possible. But I can’t keep my mind off either of them.   Charis Andropolis How can I resist the two men that want me? The simple answer is, I can’t.

Our love story may be unconventional, but with a connection we have, anything’s possible.

Exclusive Excerpt:

Stone I already have Gibson handcuffed to the bed, and because I’m a sadistic bastard, I have him blindfolded, too.   I’ve instructed Charis to sit in a chair in the corner, watching all of this play out.   “What do you think, love?”   “Wow,” she begins. “There’s so much, but the first would be—how the hell is having him blindfolded so much hotter?”   “Well,” Gibson begins. “It has something to do with having my other senses heightened. It’s supposed to add to the sensuality of it all.”   “That is the teacher’s explanation because he’s our analytical one, love. But in simple terms, it’s just sexy as fuck.”   “Yeah, I agree,” she begins and I pop the top on the lube, generously lathering my fingers.   “You want a play-by-play, love, or would you rather just sit and watch?”   “Watch,” she barely breathes out.   “Ah, our sexy little nurse wants to simply take us in.” Gibson is just as quiet.   “I love this so much more. We’re all lost in the moment.” Yeah, my astute scholar and the things that come out of his mouth.   Charis is positioned in a way that she can see everything from the side and because I have to see the man when I fuck him, I just can’t not give her the best view.   With one finger I enter him. “Oh, fuck, Doc.”   Charis gasps from the side.   “Yeah, open up your robe, love, and play with yourself. I especially want to see you flick your clit.”   “Holy peanut butter on a penis.” This is her reply and I’ll have to revisit it a bit later.   “I’m not fully aware of very much American slang, so we’ll circle back to it.” But if I were a betting man, I’d say she likes what she sees.   “Yeah, that’s a Charis saying all on her own.” But when I enter another finger, all notions of peanut butter and penises are put to the wayside.   “Doc, please, I need you.” Yeah, he knows, as he’s told Charis in the past, I’ll provide when I’m good and ready and because I want to see my own handprint on his arse, I smack it, and hard. It’s one reason I love the feel of a man. They can take as good as I give and it’s certainly a turn-on for me.   “So hot.” But when I search over for Charis’s reaction, she’s still doing what I’ve asked. “Shit, between you both, I don’t think I’ll make it.”   I enter another finger and this makes Gibs’s whimper turn into laments of need. ‘’I got you, Teach.”   I line my cock up to his entrance and push in, and when the tip disappears, I turn my attention to Charis, who’s stopped her own pleasure, simply watching us.   “That’s it, love, just watch, there will be plenty of time to get off later. Simply stare at us as my cock disappears inside of Gibs.”   My attention turns to Gibson. I get lost in the submission he shows to me. It’s only beginning. The three of us together is what I’ve been looking for in my life, and I sure as hell won’t ever let them go.   “I’m close, Doc. I’m so close.” I know I’m hitting his prostate, and I won’t be long either. “Come for me, baby. Come for me now.”   His semen covers both mine and his stomach, as I am so close, one more push, and I find my own release. I slide out and watch him transform before my eyes. “I love you, Doc. Fuck, did I fight it, but you’re just enough of an asshole to have fought me every step of the way.”   This is Gibson speak for thank you. “Thanks for the compliment that I’m sure is in there somewhere.”   “Yeah, it’s there, you just have to read between the lines.” He pulls me into his side. “GG, come here. I need you. Ah, fuck, do I need you.”   And I know he’s about to claim our nurse, and then we’ll all be connected in a way that can’t and won’t be broken.

The Archer Brothers Box Set by Heidi McLaughlin @HeidiJoVT @ejbookpromos #Review


Title: The Archer Brothers Box Set
Author: Heidi McLaughlin
Genre: Contemporary Romance/Suspense Romance
Release Date: May 20, 2022


The Archer Brothers

Here with Me
A mission gone wrong

Choose Me
Brothers torn apart

Save Me
A race against time

Here with Us
A new beginning

Choose Us
A life changing decision








Here With Me → 

 I waited until book 3 was out and now the Archer series is a box set so it will be a lot easier for readers to just go for the entire series. I know the ending with the cliffhanger was bad, I agree.


The set up is between Ryley and Evan two young lovers torn apart by the military. The chapters alternate with each character seeing a therapist. It takes until 30 % to find out that Evan is home from a long 6year stint in the military and they are seeing a therapist to get through these issues. OK Well my issue is this therapist has nothing else going on but these two? Then the pace. It was slow moving. Nothing is resolved! The relationship between Ryley and her mother in-law is bad and her reaction to Ryley is awful. It makes no sense that there is SO much aner there But…I do have book two to look forward to.
The downfall is that there is no conclusion. On to book 2


Choose Me → 

 Finally an answer on who to choose. That was a drawn out drama that was not always pleasant. For me, I really wanted more of the mystery, this started to get mysterious halfway in. That was this book’s saving grace. To be honest I was also glad no more therapy sessions. I guess there is a therapist on the unemployment line now.


Ryley has a mother, Carole, up there in military ranks and she is on board with finding the child porn, pedo ring. Ryley’s dad Jenson is always an Evan supporter. Then we learn a little, not much, about Frannie who was the odd one.

Is this wrapped up? NO so you have to read book 3 I for one know there was probably a lot of people who were not happy about that and I am not happy too

 


Save Me → 
Tucker McCoy gets his story. In book 1 and 2 you heard of him but it was limited. Here in book 3 you get the entire story. You learn about the demented Frannie. So he arrives home to nobody. No wife and daughter. Thus begins the search for Penelope and Claire. This cross country journey was pretty good, well written and had a solution. 

The buildup was there but then the conclusion was lacking. It is like going to the store and buying ice cream you really like and while at the register you see something else on sale and figure what the hell this one is better and the other melted while I was waiting so I will just put it back. So Penelope/Penny/Amy was a decent character who just suddenly as a housewife, becomes so adept to changing her identity and moving. She covered her tracks well for someone with no education in these matters. That pill was hard to swallow.



Here With Us →  This is sort of the conclusion for Evan and Ryley. Sad it is a novella. The story could have been expanded on. It was only 73 pages. 
Choose Us → This one came with the Nate and Cara’s story. Overall it is the length of a novella. On my kindle it was 62 pages. Not thrilled there was a cliffhanger…again

BLURB

An unexpected rescue rekindles an old romance between a single dad widower and a woman caught in a small town scandal that made her flee the one place where she belongs. Can a second chance at first love end in a happily ever after?

Luke Luview has given up on love. Finally ready to let go of his late wife’s clothes, the grieving small-town police officer and single dad thinks he’s hearing things when he opens the charity box door. Who knocks from the inside of a donation bin?

The raccoon he assumes is in there turns out to be way prettier – and very familiar. Rescuing the first girl he ever kissed means life has dealt him a wild card with Kylie Hood, his late wife’s best friend who left town suddenly fifteen years ago under a cloud of scandal.

Kylie Hood will never depend on a man again. Dumped by her boyfriend and fired by his parents from her children’s programming job at their ski resort in rural Maine, she hits rock bottom while throwing out her ex’s clothes — along with her phone and car keys.

Being rescued by Luke Luview, of all people, is a gift and a curse. The boy she once loved is now all grown up, everything her ex wasn’t – and absolutely off limits.

Accepting his offer to be his temporary nanny while she job searches in New York City, Kylie falls hard for his sweet daughter, and even harder for Luke. A clause in her employment contract means they can’t fraternize, but fate has other plans, and forbidden fruit is twice as sweet.

As the town she reluctantly left years ago accepts her more and more, and Luke makes it clear he wants ta second chance with her in their close-knit community, Kylie has to decide: an exciting new career in Manhattan on her own, or an instant family and a sense of belonging in her small hometown?

And as Luke wrestles with the pain of being left behind by his wife’s accidental death, he has to balance his responsibilities to his daughter with his own needs. Needs he’s ignored for far too long.

Needs only Kylie can meet.

But not if she leaves.

Can Luke and Kylie rekindle their first love and find a new future together in a place where love conquers all?

If you’re looking for a fun read about first kisses and second chances, featuring a hot single-dad police officer and his accidental nanny, set in a small town in New England, with a golden retriever named Jester, a heroine whose dream in life is to run a fairy camp, and a hero who wants to build a place where everyone belongs–then this is your book.

Grab a cup of coffee or tea, and maybe some edible glitter, and get your happy meter ready as you read the second book in the Love You, Maine, series–where love isn’t just a feeling… it’s a way of life.

EXCERPT

A white puff of air filled the space between him and the steering wheel, and he realized he’d sighed. How long had he been sitting here, mind and memory in the past? Shoving his hands into gloves, he opened the rear door, grabbed the white plastic bag, and made his way to the front of the bin.
Determined, focused, and grim: That was Luke Luview these days. A bad match for a town that existed to make people feel good about love.
Living in Love You, Maine–heck, being a Luview–was never harder than when you had a broken heart.
Time to let go of some of the pain.
“AAAAAAooooooooo,” called out a band of coyotes in the distance, making Luke jolt. His personal weapon was at home. He didn’t carry it in the glove compartment or on his body when he was off duty, but as the coyote population grew in the area, maybe he should.
A few feet from the donation bin’s front, he looked at the lever to pull down, squeezing the bag slightly. A whiff of Amber’s perfume caught his nose, so faint he almost imagined it.
Colleen had washed all the clothes a few weeks ago, so he knew he imagined Amber’s scent. Didn’t matter. He’d take the illusion. That was how much he hurt.
A skitter inside the box made him frown.
Damn animals. They got in those bins all the time. He felt sorry for the poor sap who emptied these metal boxes, carting all the goods to the warehouse in Manchester where they cleaned and sorted, getting it all ready for the second-hand retail stores.
Just do this, he thought, swallowing hard as the coyotes mated in the distance. The sound was violent and creepy, but for whatever reason, it felt fitting.
Throwing the tangible reminders of that terrible day into the donation box felt dangerous, too.
“I love you, Amber,” he murmured. “But I have to let you go. Have to let that day go. Harriet needs a daddy who isn’t tied down by grief. Just because I’m doing this doesn’t mean I love you any less, though.”
Tears pricked his eyes. “Why is this so hard? Because it’s hard,” he said with a huff. “That’s what you would say if you were here. You’d hug me and comfort me and tell me feelings are meant to be felt or they’d be called something else. You’d have all the right words. I don’t have any. I just have a big hole in my life, Amber. And you’re never going to fill it. Colleen says I can’t feel guilty for moving on. I don’t. But I sure do feel weird.”
And then he reached for the handle, pulled it down, and threw the bag in while calling out loudly, “I love you.”
To his utter shock, she replied from the darkness of the box, “I’m in here!”

AUTHOR BIO


New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julia Kent writes romantic comedy with an edge. Since 2013, she has sold more than 2 million books, with 4 New York Times bestsellers and more than 21 appearances on the USA Today bestseller list. Her books have been translated into French, German, and Italian, with more titles releasing in the future.

From billionaires to BBWs to new adult rock stars, Julia finds a sensual, goofy joy in every contemporary romance she writes. Unlike Shannon from Shopping for a Billionaire, she did not meet her husband after dropping her phone in a men’s room toilet (and he isn’t a billionaire she met in a romantic comedy).

She lives in New England with her husband and three children where she is the only person in the household with the gene required to change empty toilet paper rolls.

She loves to hear from her readers by email at julia@jkentauthor.com, on Twitter @jkentauthor, on Facebook at @jkentauthor, and on Instagram @jkentauthor. Visit her at http://jkentauthor.com

Charlotte
I’ve spent my life surrounded by players – football players, that is.
The ones that uproot their kids every few years.
The ones with that choose football over their loved ones. And I’m out.
I want a 9-to-5 kind of guy.
Until he walks into my dance studio.
Weston is all my fantasies rolled into one – cocky grin, backward wearing baseball cap, filthy mouth, and toe-curling skills that any man would be proud to possess.
Except for one thing…. that football under his arm.

Weston
I crave stability. The kind of stability that lucrative football contracts bring.
Except an injury has threatened to rob me of my future.
When someone challenges me to take ballet to get my step back, I think they’re crazy.
And it probably doesn’t help that I insulted dance and her in one breath.
How do I get my size 13 foot out of my mouth?
Because Charlotte and her dance studio may be my only chance at a comeback.

The Comeback is a standalone enemies-to-lovers, opposites attract, contemporary romance set in Alexia Chase’s Sinfully Addictive World.
