June 2018 writinstuff Leave a comment

Title: Divining Elise

Series: Granite Lake Romance (standalone)

Author: Jody A. Kessler

Genre: Steamy Contemporary Romance

Release Date: June 21, 2018

Elise Martinez wished her date with destiny didn’t include being run off the road by the most caring, handsome, and intelligent man she’d ever met.

Moving to Granite Lake to manage a bookstore and coffee shop meant Elise could finally leave her haunted past behind, but being a psychic mom to a deaf child has its benefits and downfalls—and her guarded heart isn’t ready for a new romance.

Rob Everett never imagined giving up corporate law to open a brewery with his brothers in Granite Lake would begin with a car accident and the arrival of a surprise baby.

As if being a single dad and starting a new business weren’t challenging enough, Rob can’t get the beautiful, mysterious, and feisty bookstore manager out of his mind.

For Elise and Rob, falling in love is a complicated, sexy, and emotional enterprise.

Mix in a baby, a haunted brewery, craft beer, and a dangerous ex-husband into this recipe of love and their future isn’t as easily divined as the fates would have foretold.

**A steamy, fun, stand-alone novel with a happy ever after.

She knows she must let him go, and saying goodbye is one of the hardest things she’s ever done, but she resolves to move on and forget about her beautiful stranger.

But then… she makes an unexpected discovery, and it shakes her perfect world to its core. Rules don’t apply anymore. An arrangement is made, and her husband gives her just one week with Eli. The rules are clear: One week. Sex only. No contact thereafter. Seems simple enough, but it’s never simple when it comes to love.

Author: Ashley Lyn

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Release Date: June 20, 2018

What was I thinking, falling in love at nineteen?

I was thinking with my vagina, that’s what I was doing.

Physically speaking, he’s every good girl’s dream—All-American, blond hair, blue eyed, Marine, and business owner.

Strip him of his finery, the friendly smile, and the manners, he’s every bad girl’s walking orgasm.

He’s mine.

I wanted him ten years ago—I needed him.

A soul can only go so long without it’s mate.

This is rich, coming from the girl who can’t go ten seconds without making a comment about poop shoots, cum dumpsters (my ex-wife), inappropriately dancing, making lewd jokes, yet tries to give you a flowery description about our love story…

What? You thought you’d get the whole story here?

Naw, you have to read the book to find out about our epic love story—the trials, the intrigue, the sex (which is hot BTW) and my wife’s completely whacked sense of humor.

“Hey!” my wife yells.

“What? Fuck, don’t scare me like that. This is my portion of the blurb.”

“Fiancée! You haven’t gotten my sexy ass down the aisle yet, big boy.”

Title: Cross Drop

Series: On the Edge

Author: Elizabeth Hartey

Genre: NA Contemporary Romance

Release Date: June 19, 2018
Publisher: Limitless Publishing

Nikki

I’m not a saint. Never claimed to be. I’ve played the game and scored my fair share—both on and off the field. This is why I should have known better than to fall for a hockey player. But I did. I fell fast and hard.

Now I’m left with the painful consequences, reminded every day of how reckless I had been by giving him my heart so easily—so willingly. Dalt broke me in the cruelest of ways, and because of him, I’ll never be able to love again.

Dalt

Nikki changed me. She made me want to be a better man. My days playing off the ice were over because she owned every little piece of my heart…until she left, leaving behind a gnawing ache where my heart used to be.

Now she’s back, and it’s painfully clear she hates me, ignoring me, pretending like I’m nobody to her. But that’s just too damn bad. I want answers. I want a goddamn explanation.

And most of all…I want her.
