Something Unexpected by Vi Keeland

 




Title: Something Unexpected
Author: Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: July 3, 2023


BLURB

When my grandmother found out she didn’t have long to live, she embarked on a crazy trip—jumping out of airplanes and scuba diving with sharks.

After I repeatedly voiced my concern, Gram blocked me—her own grandson—on text and social media, leaving me only her travel companion Eleanor’s number.

Eleanor started sending me pictures of Gram’s adventures. At first she seemed nice, but when I attempted to persuade her to talk some sense into her friend, she told me where I could stick my advice. After that, photos arrived with snarky comments, and Eleanor and I got into it on more than one occasion.

When I heard Gram’s upcoming plans were more dangerous than ever, I hopped on a plane.

Since I arrived late, I headed to the bar for a drink, figuring I’d surprise her in the morning.

To my delight, I met a gorgeous woman looking for a no-strings-attached night. Nora was just what I needed. She invited me back to her room, telling me to give her a ten-minute head start. But when I went to pay her bar tab, I realized how much she’d had to drink. As much as I wanted to ignore it, I couldn’t. So I stood Nora up.

I knew she’d be pissed, but I also knew I’d never see her again.

Except never came a little early. Namely, the next morning when I went to meet my grandmother and her evil-spinster friend. Because old Eleanor turned out to be young Nora from last night. And if I thought the woman disliked me before, that was nothing compared to how ticked-off she was now. Or how unhappy she was going to be that their party of two was about to become a party of three.

I can absolutely say I fell in love with this story. I loved the words, the concept, the flow, the characters, just about absolutely everything about it. It was raw and emotional, intense and passionate. From the connection between Beck and Nora and how they tumble into each other’s lives was just perfection. I giggled. I swooned. I felt those thoughts and emotions as it all played out. Plus how could you not love Louise? Great read!

Kissing My Crush by C.A. Harms

 




Title: Kissing My Crush
A Kissing Games Series Standalone
Author: C.A. Harms
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Friends to Lovers/Accidental Pregnancy
Release Date: June 29, 2023


BLURB

Amara

Tyler Collins has always been the object of my affection. He just doesn’t know it.
I’ve spent years admiring him, fantasizing about him, but never once making a move.
That is until I see him across the room, already a few beers in and drunkenly decide to press my lips to his. One minute I’m sharing a drink with a friend, and the next, I’m Kissing My Crush.

Now I’m trapped at a beautiful resort with the man I so desperately want to avoid, to celebrate the nuptials of our dear friends.

I can feel his eyes on me. He’s watching. Waiting for what I’m not sure. The fear of rejection is too strong for me to mention the kiss. That night is on constant replay in my mind. I often wonder how he would react if I could confess that to me, our kiss was not a drunken mistake.

Tyler

Quiet, sweet Amara, the one woman I never expected to crave and the one I can’t seem to shake. One unexpected kiss, and now all I can think about is her lips pressed to mine.

I’ve managed to avoid attachments, keeping things casual and enjoying one day at a time. Yet, a timid blonde marches across a hazy bar and grabs hold of my hair, giving me the kiss that changes it all. Changes me.

She wants to pretend it never happened, but I never was much for playing games. She might want me to believe the kiss was forgettable, but we both know better. Hands down the hottest kiss of my life.

That moment with her wasn’t nothing. It was everything.
It was the turning point and the start of something I know without a doubt will be more than we both ever could have expected.

Excerpt Reveal: Something Unexpected by Vi Keeland

 




Title: Something Unexpected

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Take a sneak peek at SOMETHING UNEXPECTED. 
You know you want to...


Beck threw his head back in laughter. I’d just insulted the guy, and he was amused. “I guess I made a pretty sh*tty first impression.”
I deadpanned. “You told me I should look someplace more respectable for my dates.”
“I thought you deserved better.”
“I think you’re full of sh*t. You’re only being nice now because you know I was looking for a night of no strings attached, and you think you have a shot at being my replacement.”
“Am I out of the running?”
I took a moment to check him out again. Damn, he’s pretty. “You’re only hanging on by a thread because you’re gorgeous.”
A slow, sexy smile spread across his face. “I like your honesty.”
“I like your jawline.”
His eyes gleamed. “You’ll like my big di¢k even better.”
I bit my bottom lip. The conversation had just taken a turn toward most of my Tinder messages—definitely a place I was more comfortable than talking about why I wanted to forget my life for a while. “How do I know you’re not a serial killer?”
“How did you know the Tinder loser wasn’t?”
Good point. I sipped my wine. “How old are you?”
“Old enough that I know what to do with you, and young enough that I don’t have to take a pill to do it.”
I smirked. “Is that so? You know what to do with me?”
He smiled self-assuredly. “I do, yes.”
The air crackled between us. For some reason, I knew this guy could deliver on his promise. Maybe it was his quiet confidence, or maybe it was that a man who looked the way he did got lots of practice. The latter would’ve been a turnoff if I was looking for more than one night, but it didn’t much matter if it served my purposes for a one-time deal.
I looked into his too-blue eyes. “Tell me then.”
“Tell you what?”
“What you would do with me.”
The wicked grin that slid across his face almost made me want to take back what I’d asked. Almost.
Beck lifted his glass and gulped his drink before leaning over to my ear. “I’d start by…

Sweetest Line by Cary Hart

 




Title: Sweetest Line
Series: Lavender Falls #1
Author: Cary Hart
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Small Town/Surprise Baby/One Night Stand
Release Date: June 15, 2023


BLURB

If the past nine months have taught me anything: what happens in Mason Creek doesn’t always stay in Mason Creek…

I’m back home in Lavender Falls.
Single.
Pregnant.
And craving ice cream around the clock thanks to a one-night stand with a sexy bartender I left back in Montana.

Two little pink lines turned my whole world upside down—and nothing in the pregnancy books prepared me for running into my unsuspecting “baby daddy” in the middle of town square.

Of course, he isn’t here for me. He couldn’t be. He never responded to my messages. No, Toby is in town filming a new television series about a single father. Talk about the universe having a funny sense of humor.

Now I just have to figure out if he’s ready to play the most important role of his real life: dad.

I am a huge lover of Mason Creek and the world that the authors created with that one. So when I heard Hart was creating a world spin off of that one, I was all kinds of excited. This one has all the feels and emotions that I have found her small town romances have. 

The connection that Finley and Toby have is undeniable but with a baby being born that was a shock for Toby, there are a lot of ups and downs within these pages. This is a great read and I am looking forward to what is to come with Lavender Falls!

Kissing the Rival by Kaylee Ryan

 




Title: Kissing the Rival
A Kissing Games Series Standalone
Author: Kaylee Ryan
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Enemies to Lovers/Workplace Romance
Release Date: June 15, 2023


BLURB

Charlotte

I’m not just kissing the rival… I’m falling for him.

Spencer Pennington has always been a shameless flirt, but when it came to being the best in our MBA program, all bets were off, and the competition was on.

Fast-forward a few years, and all it takes is a bar at a failed wedding and my silly kiss-rating system to lock lips with the enemy. Cocky as ever, Spencer claims he’s a ten and kisses me to prove it. I kiss him back to scratch an old itch, not expecting to like it.

Which is a huge problem, because Mr. Tall, Dark, and Tattooed from grad school is my new boss. And I want to kiss him again and again. Even if I only gave him a four.

Spencer

Charlotte Krause could be the perfect girl, if she didn’t hate me so much. I’m unsure if it was just me or guys in general, but she had this stuck-up, all-work-no-play vibe about her in college.

Imagine my surprise when I find her at the resort bar rating kisses like it’s her job. This carefree woman is nothing like the focused girl who turned me down at freshman orientation. And every time after that.

When I promise her I’m a ten, I see that competitive spark light in her ocean-blue eyes. There she is. She might have kissed me to prove me wrong, but I know I’m right about one thing.

She feels the spark too. There’s just one problem. It turns out her actual job is working for me.

Oh I love a great enemies to lovers. The intensity between Charlotte and Spencer is perfection as these two navigate something they should never have to between her sister and his best friend. Their connection is electrifying  and keeps you on your toes but their story and history is so raw and emotional as well. You really feel what they are going through and I could not get enough. My heart hurt. My heart smiled and there were some great laughs between these two. This is a great story and the interconnection story between this series is just perfect.
