Releasing Aug 11th, 2015
Loveswept


In the first novel of an explosive new series from K. J. Charles, a young gentleman and his elegant mentor fight for love in a world of wealth, power, and manipulation.

When he learns that he could be the heir to an unexpected fortune, Harry Vane rejects his past as a Radical fighting for government reform and sets about wooing his lovely cousin. But his heart is captured instead by the most beautiful, chic man he’s ever met: the dandy tasked with instructing him in the manners and style of the ton. Harry’s new station demands conformity—and yet the one thing he desires is a taste of the wrong pair of lips.

After witnessing firsthand the horrors of Waterloo, Julius Norreys sought refuge behind the luxurious facade of the upper crust. Now he concerns himself exclusively with the cut of his coat and the quality of his boots. And yet his protégé is so unblemished by cynicism that he inspires the first flare of genuine desire Julius has felt in years. He cannot protect Harry from the worst excesses of society. But together they can withstand the high price of passion.

About the Book

Wedding planner Avery Crosslin may be a rising star in Houston society, but she doesn't believe in love--at least not for herself. When she meets wealthy bachelor Joe Travis and mistakes him for a wedding photographer, she has no intention of letting him sweep her off her feet. But Joe is a man who goes after what he wants, and Avery can't resist the temptation of a sexy southern charmer and a hot summer evening.

After a one night stand, however, Avery is determined to keep it from happening again. A man like Joe can only mean trouble for a woman like her, and she can't afford distractions. She's been hired to plan the wedding of the year--a make-or-break event.

But complications start piling up fast, putting the wedding in jeopardy, especially when shocking secrets of the bride come to light. And as Joe makes it clear that he's not going to give up easily, Avery is forced to confront the insecurities and beliefs that stem from a past she would do anything to forget.

The situation reaches a breaking point, and Avery faces the toughest choice of her life. Only by putting her career on the line and risking everything--including her well-guarded heart--will she find out what matters most.




Avery...what can I say...she was a pretty cool heroine, and someone that I could easily relate to, I think I liked her from page one (see Scorpion scene). Insert Joe Travis (ahhh Joe), who is looking for a woman to finally settle down with, someone good, and kind and someone to have all those Travis babies...and of course he finds the one woman who isn't looking for love..at all...

What ensues is exactly what you expect from a Lisa Kleypas Novel...a wonderfully written story, with a classic and very sexy alpha hero and a heroine who you can't help but love...even when you wish the hero was yours instead. A secondary cast that has you laughing at times and crying in others...I felt like I was back with old friends while reading BROWN-EYED GIRL! To see all my old friends made my heart happy and that is the kind of reaction I want from a romance, one that leaves me with a huge smile and a warm heart.

Kleypas fills the pages with a love story that is realistic and a little old fashioned, and as always with a Travis man....very very sexy! I truly loved each moment, each page, each word...Truly Satisfying! 

Another winner for Kleypas!

And I got to see my Jack...Jack Travis...If you haven't read SMOOTH TALKING STRANGER...get on it!

I hope that Lisa is planning to write a love story for Ryan...he is the silent and sexy type and I would LOVE to see what he is all about underneath the buttoned up man!

Entangled: Brazen


Grant Osprey just had the hottest sex of his life. Sure, they were both in costume, and yes, it was anonymous, but he never expected her to bolt in the middle of the night without so much as a good bye, let alone exchanging numbers. Or names. All he’s left with are her panties and some seriously X-rated memories...until he meets his business partner's little sister.

Only Chloe Talley isn't the bold, sexy vixen he remembers. And she wants nothing to do with him.

Cosplay is Chloe’s only chance to leave her boring, socially awkward world behind. To forget that she’s failing at life and can’t be with anyone, let alone a single-father like Grant. But the raw hunger between them is undeniable. With him, she can be a misbehaving maid. A sexy call girl for hire. Each scene pushes Chloe beyond her strict boundaries, until Grant demands the one character she can't play.

Herself.

THE INVISIBLES: A Novel
Cecilia Galante
Releasing August 4th, 2015
William Morrow


In the vein of Meg Donohue and Jennifer Close, comes Cecilia Galante's adult debut about the complicated and powerful bonds of female friendship--a compelling, moving novel that is told in both the present and the past.

Thrown together by chance as teenagers at Turning Winds Home for Girls, Nora, Ozzie, Monica, and Grace quickly bond over their troubled pasts and form their own family which they dub The Invisibles. But when tragedy strikes after graduation, Nora is left to deal with the horrifying aftermath alone as the other three girls leave home and don't look back.

Fourteen years later, Nora is living a quiet, single life working in the local library. She is content to focus on her collection of "first lines" (her favorite opening lines from novels) and her dog, Alice Walker, when out-of-the-blue Ozzie calls her on her thirty-second birthday. But after all these years, Ozzie hasn't called her to wish a happy birthday. Instead, she tells Nora that Grace attempted suicide and is pleading for The Invisibles to convene again. Nora is torn: she is thrilled at the thought of being in touch with her friends, and yet she is hesitant at seeing these women after such a long and silent period of time. Bolstered by her friends at the library, Nora joins The Invisibles in Chicago for a reunion that sets off an extraordinary chain of events that will change each of their lives forever.

The Invisibles is an unforgettable novel that asks the questions: How much of our pasts define our present selves? And what does it take to let go of some of our most painful wounds and move on?

Entangled: Bliss


Teacher Kate Abbott's fresh start in Still Harbor was the beginning of the life that she and her two best friends always imagined for themselves. Still, being a working single parent of a special needs daughter hasn't exactly improved Kate's love life. But Kate's preference for nachos over men quickly disappears when she meets the oh-so-sexy Matt Lane.

Until she finds out he's a cop.

Matt is a former cop-turned-private investigator, and he knows fear when he sees it. A cop clearly spooked Kate…or hurt her. Still, something about the gorgeous professor catches his attention, and despite his “no settling down” policy, he can't resist her. But all of the attraction in the world won't be enough to overcome Kate's past…

Victoria always knew she wanted to be a writer and in grade five, she penned her first story, bound it (with staples and a cardboard cover) and did all the illustrations herself. Luckily, this book will never see the light of day again.

After graduating University with an English Literature degree, Victoria pursued a degree in Interior Design and then opened her own business.

Entangled: Scandalous


London, 1838

The handsome Earl of Summersby may just be the most eligible bachelor in London, but has no interest in a wife.

For now he has the perfect tool with which to lure out the villains—a young woman with an uncanny likeness to the queen.

The spirited Evelyn Marington is about to live out every country girl's dream—becoming royalty overnight. Under the tutelage of the arrogant Earl of Summersby, she'll have to fool the entire court that she is, in fact, the queen. But as danger threatens from every side, Bennett realizes that his lovely little protegé isn't just placing her life in his hands... She's stealing his heart.

Avon Romance


Candis Terry returns to Sweet, Texas for the last time when former Marine Jake Wilder discovers how truly sweet love can be.

When the one you’ve always wanted

At sixteen, Annabelle Morgan hoped her crush on Jake Wilder was just a passing phase. Now she’s twenty-nine and nothing has changed except Jake. The once-carefree marine has come home with a giant chip on his shoulder. He insists a single mom like Annie deserves more than he can offer. Yet no matter how gruff his gorgeous exterior may be, Jake s toe-curling kisses convince her that this attraction is definitely mutual.

Becomes the one who wants you back

Butting heads with feisty Annie was always a thrill. Add other body parts to the mix, and Jake is in serious trouble. He can’t be a forever-and-family guy and Annie s not a friends-with-benefits kind of woman. But love has a way of changing the best-laid plans, and surrender has never been so tempting.

The outcome is truly sweet.

Talk about a roller coaster of emotions...Candis Terry near bout tore my heart to shreds with TRULY SWEET!  Between the laughter and the tears, I found a beautifully written romance about healing and finding something/someone who makes you feel whole again.  Jake and Annie really did a number on my heart!

I have to say first of all, to my contemporary readers, if you have not yet started the Sweet Texas series, you MUST get started today!  Not that the stories get better and better, because they are all equally terrific, but they consistently grab your heart and before you know it, you are the newest member of the Wilder family.  I know Reno holds a special place in my heart, and he always will, and Jesse's book, well....it was my dedication book, so it will always mean the world to me, but Jake's book just took me for a loop.  I was thinking Candis would end things with a funny, charming romance between two people who argue a ton, but find they are two pieces of a puzzle, and YES, we do get the charming Jake and the "Pistol" Annie, but Candis takes them on such a journey of discovery first, and I have to say, TRULY SWEET might have taken the cake for my favorite of the Sweet Series.

An amazing finish to such a heartwarming, sexy and always charming series!  The Wilder Family will stay with me for a LONG LONG time, and I can't wait to see what Candis has in store next!
