Decoding love one byte at a time…

Tom

Not all superheroes wore capes. Some were overqualified, underpaid personal assistants at a luxury hotel, like me. At night, I spent lonely hours behind a computer screen creating an innovative security system to fight cyber villains. It would revolutionize the casino industry and, hopefully, make me the next Vegas millionaire. Love wasn’t on my color-coded spreadsheet until Aurora LeFleur moved in across the hall.

The tech-savvy blond was smart, gorgeous, and way out of my league. I was afraid she’d never see me as more than a friend, but one kiss rewired my entire system. My data-loving brain knew she was keeping secrets. The lies were piling up and I began to think I didn’t know her at all. When you double down on love, the house always takes its cut, and my heart might just be the payment.

♥♣♦♠

Aurora

I came to Sin City in search of my best friend who’d disappeared without a trace, not to fall for my nerdy neighbor. It was supposed to be a quick, undercover mission and then back to my complicated, messy life. I’d been dodging the future my father planned for me, but the clock was ticking down and time was running out.

Tom Bently’s brilliant mind and kind heart were impossible to resist. His kisses were electric. His touch, addictive. And he had no idea who I really was. I never wanted to deceive Tom but torn between family loyalty and love, keeping him in the dark was necessary. In a city that never sleeps, secrets don’t stay buried forever. With my poker face starting to crack and the stakes climbing, when the truth hits the table, the final hand might cost us everything… including our hearts.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ~ “I absolutely loved this book. I loved Tom, he was funny, charming. He was shy with Aurora at the beginning but oh man does that change. Aurora is the perfect fit for Tom. The chemistry they have is everything I would imagine for him. I’m so happy to see Tom finally get HEA.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ~ “Tom can decode me one byte at a time! No more bets because Tom’s story is finally here! And what a story it is!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ~ “Technically Yours in Vegas was such a fun, spicy, and surprisingly sweet read. I mean—who doesn’t love a hot nerd with a dominant side? Tom, the Clark Kent lookalike, totally stole my heart.”






“Is it okay if I kiss you?” It seemed like I’d been waiting forever, and I couldn’t wait any longer.

She nodded slowly as I took her face between my hands and lowered my lips to hers. When they met, it was like the first spark in a storm—sudden, breathless, charged with electricity that made the air around us hum. A live wire buzzing beneath our skin, zapping through nerve endings and lighting up everything in its path.

Her fingers curled into my shirt as though trying to ground herself, but there was no grounding this. I brushed my thumb against her cheek with agonizing slowness and swept my tongue along the seam of her lips. She opened for me, welcomed me in, and when the kiss deepened, it was like lightning struck twice.

A subtle tremble passed between us—a silent gasp and a needy moan—and the kiss pulsed with the raw, electric tension that’d been building for weeks. Every movement, every graze of teeth and tangle of tongues, was a spark leaping between us.

Time stopped, the world blurred, and for that moment, we were pure energy. Breathless and burning in the same current.

I pulled away and pressed a final kiss to the tip of her nose. “Thank you for tonight.”

She stared up at me with those big, beautiful eyes. “Do you want to come in?”

“Not tonight. This has already been more than I hoped for. I don’t want to rush into anything with you. You’re the kind of woman that deserves to be savored, not snacked on.”






Sabrina Wagner lives in southeast Michigan near the beautiful Great Lakes. She writes sweet, sassy, sexy romance novels featuring stubborn, alpha men and the women who bring them to their knees. She gives you all the feels by tearing her characters apart and putting them back together again. Her books will make you swoon, break your heart, and tickle your funny bone.

Sabrina believes true friends should be treasured, a woman’s strength is forged by the fire of affliction, and everyone deserves a happy ending. It’s rare to find her without a book in her hand or a story spinning through her head. She’s a hopeless romantic and knows all too well that life is full of twists and turns, but the bumpy road is what leads to our true destination.

I’d barely touched her for sixty seconds, yet all the signs were there. “Did you come?”

She bit her lip and nodded, then threw her arm over her face and turned her head to the side. “I’m sorry,” she mumbled into the crook of her arm.

What? “You don’t have to be sorry. You haven’t done anything wrong.” I peeled her arm away, revealing pink cheeks and dilated pupils.

“I have a quick trigger. It’s embarrassing,” she said, not meeting my eyes. “I’m so mortified.”

Mortified? I pried her fingers up one at a time until I could see her big blue eyes. “Don’t ever be embarrassed with me, especially when it comes to sex.”

“But that’s just it, we didn’t even have sex. There’s something wrong with me.”

I chuckled. “There’s not a damn thing wrong with you. There are a lot of women who would gladly switch places with you.”

She rolled her eyes. “That’s because they don’t know it’s a curse. One little explosion and then nothing.”

I raised an eyebrow. “Nothing? Ever?” That couldn’t be true. Surely, some guy had taken their time with her. Had made her pleasure a priority.

Aurora shook her head. “Once I come, that’s it. I’ve heard women talk about multiple orgasms, but I’m convinced it’s a myth. At least for me.”

Getting off the couch, I grabbed her hands and pulled her to her feet. “Challenge accepted. Let’s disprove your hypothesis.”

“What?” she asked, eyes wide and the flush spreading onto her chest.

I brushed a curl of honey-blond hair behind her ear. “I want you to enjoy every minute of the time we’re together, so I’m proposing an alternative hypothesis. I don’t think it’s your body. I think it’s the men you’ve been with. I predict I can make you come several times before I’m ever inside you. It may take lots of experimenting and data analysis, but I’m nothing if not an overachiever.”

“I don’t want to be a science project,” she refuted.

“It’s not a science project. It’s a pleasure project and, trust me, it won’t be a hardship.” I took her hand and led her to her bedroom, pushing the beads aside. “I think we should get started right away.”

“Now?”

“Yes, now. Go sit on the bed.” My instruction left no room for arguing. If Aurora and I were going to be together, I was determined to learn each and every one of her pleasure buttons. Master them.

She scooted into the middle of the bed, looking more innocent and unsure than a few minutes ago. “What do you want me to do?”

“You’re going to count.”

Romance Book Review!! ~ Beard on Tap by Willow Sanders

ABOUT:

◆ Finn ◆
Used to be, the family bar was hopping until last call every night. Now? If the bank doesn’t take her away from me in the next two months, it’ll be a miracle. All because some fatcat politician thought building a new highway would earn him a few more votes. The last thing I need? A firecracker who has curves in all the right places and a smart mouth, telling me what to do to save my own damn bar. I can do this alone; except I recognize the pain I see in those moss-colored eyes. Sure I don’t need any help, but it seems like she does.
♥ Gemini ♥
All I wanted was a relaxing vacation. Fresh mountain air. Some uninterrupted time with a book. Yeah, right. Maybe I could relax if the bar I stumbled upon—literally– wasn’t run by the sexiest, and most annoying, man in the world. Five minutes in, I couldn’t decide if I wanted to drag him across the bar and kiss him or pour my beer down his flannel shirt. He won’t ask for help, but what he doesn’t know? I’ve never backed down from a challenge. Finn’s going to learn just how stubborn I can be. And maybe…we’ll find our happily ever after.

Best Friends Reunite in Amsterdam for One Unforgettable Night! ~ One Night in Amsterdam by N.D. Jackson

It was a job like any other,
In a beautiful city I’d visited before.
Nothing spectacular about any of it,
Except he was in town too.
What were the odds?
My best friend, my oldest friend.
The boy I’d crushed on briefly in high school
We hadn’t seen each other in a few years,
But I planned to show him my favorite parts of the city.
To laugh and drink together, to just have fun.
That was it.
But one kiss turned into another, and the night was ours.
But was it the start of something else
Or would it always be just one night?
