By 21 Comments

Tragic (Lark Cove Book 3)
<— THIS ONE’S GOING LIVE AT MIDNIGHT!!!! And I was delighted to get an early review copy (this author’s writing and alpha males are spot on and right up my alley).

And I was especially delighted when it featured a moody, big huge grump of a reclusive hero… who just happened to be her new neighbor. GAH!! I LOVE GRUMPY NEIGHBORS. Er… in books. Always and only in books (P.S. My neighbors are really awesome. I love my neighborhood!!). But boy do I love that kind of book drama. 😉 read more

Book Review – Someone Else’s Ocean by Kate Stewart

Someone Else’s Ocean
Kate Stewart’s latest JUST WENT LIVE and I had the pleasure of reading an early copy over the weekend!!
It was gentler on us than some of her past super-angsty books that had us in a frenzy, but it sure had it’s share of pull-pull, kindle-throwing moments, and of course… a seriously angsty moment that had my heart in my throat.

So what’s it about?

Koti has been living life on an island renting beautiful vacation houses to tourists, and loving her uncomplicated, and very single life. Having run from her high stress, demanding world, she’s finally found a semblance of peace living on the beach, and helping make visitors happy… even if for just a few weeks. That is, until Ian (her childhood friend that she hasn’t seen in ages) shows up in the vacation home right next door to hers, kicking up a storm. read more

Reader Question – The book about the grumpy business owner that hires a single mom…

By 4 Comments

Jessica needs us!! I love grumpy, loner heroes. Makes the “getting there” so much more fun 😉 IN BOOKS!! ONLY IN BOOKS. *ahem*

She asks:

So I’ve been looking for hours trying to find this book and it driving me crazy.

It’s about a grumpy business owner who ends up hiring a woman with two kids to work for him. He’s a loner with a dog.

At some point he takes the woman and kids to Disney land and I believe the h’s sister was being abused by her husband.

Thank you for any help!

Anyone know it?

VikT: Maybe Sugar Daddy by Nicole Andrews Moore. there was a single mum with two kids hired by a grumpy guy in it but I read it quite a while ago so I can’t confirm the dog and Disney land read more

Book Review – That Guy by Kim Jones

That Guy
I read this one straight through in one shot. Started this morning, just finished it now, and I am thrilled with it! I KNEW going into this, by the recommendations I received, that this would be a laugh-riot (and of course, anyone that has watched the FaceTime videos that Kim Jones posts, you KNOW you are in for some possibly crude, yet hilarious humor).

I just LOVE her unabashed thoughts, and just how funny she can be in her delivery, so I knew this was going to be a touch of that, at the very least. read more

About book#1:

KANDY

It was love at first sight when I met Mr. Cane.

He was handsome, broody, tattooed, and rich. For years, he’s been mine. He just didn’t know it.I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with him, or for him to want me in the ways that he did.None of it was ever supposed to happen, but after all we’ve done together, it’s too late to turn back now. read more
