You’d Better Watch Yourself, Katie Kat

Katie Archer knows how to lie. After six years, no one really knows what happened That Night. Not even her twin sister. Choosing a college 3,000 miles away from the truth, Katie throws herself into art classes and a love affair with ice cream. Katie’s biggest rule? No boys. Ever.

But there is the little problem of Lucas Matthews. Former basketball star and total campus hottie, Lucas is the stuff girls have naughty dreams about—and he has the reputation to prove it! But that doesn’t stop liquid heat from running through Katie’s veins every time she sees him…

You’ll Never Get Away With It

Letting Lucas in is the hardest thing Katie’s ever had to do. And telling him the truth? Impossible. Then Katie starts to get threatening texts and she realizes Lucas is the least of her problems. Her past has caught up with her and it wants to settle the score.

I’m Coming For You

Now Katie must decide whether she wants to fight for her life, or leave everything—including Lucas—behind her forever...

Caterer Mandy Parker doesn’t want to turn out like her mother, an aging bi-polar actress desperate for the love. Avoiding anything Hollywood-related is vital for Mandy’s sanity. Her ideal man has a nine-to-five job and coaches Little League—someone true to her and to their family, unlike her philandering Hollywood producer father. But when waitress shifts at Costanoa Grill are cut, she’s forced to find additional work as a movie caterer.

Since the woman he’d loved had married his best friend, movie set location manager James Lubbock has put women far behind advancing in his career. The assistant caterer is attractive, but he’s more focused on figuring out who was sabotaging his set. If he can’t determine the culprit, he’ll lose everything he’s worked for over the last five years.

Sparks fly between Mandy and James, but can they overcome their painful pasts to risk a chance on each other?

Hot and consuming, this is a New Adult romance about a wayward musician and the one girl who keeps him grounded…

At college, Rachel has a reputation for being a sarcastic flirt with a thing for ripped athletes. No one at college knows her heart was ripped to shreds by her high school boyfriend, who’d driven them both off the side of the road on a borrowed motorcycle. And then subsequently abandoned her. No one really knows Rachel Mattson at all, with one exception…

Ever since he helped nurse his sister’s feisty best friend back to health, pierced bass player Kai Nakos has been head over heels in love. But the supposed bad boy can’t risk letting Rachel know the truth—especially now that the two of them are back in their hometown for the summer, together for the first time since the months following that horrible night. Never mind that Rachel’s ex is also back, groveling for her forgiveness.

Shaken by her ex’s return, Rachel finds herself turning to the one guy she knows she can trust. Now that Kai has had a taste of Rachel, he’s willing to do anything just to have her touch him again, even hiding his true feelings. After all, she only wants a temporary fling. Until it becomes something more. But perhaps it had been more all along.

WHISPER TO ME was Smokin Hot!  Kai is sex on a stick...and Rachel can't wait to take a bite!  Oh my...these two had sexual chemistry that was OFF THE CHARTS!  The first two books of the Between Breaths Series were hot, but WHISPER was so beyond hot...I have to come up with a new name for hot!  (Not erotic, but just that in your twenties, can't get enough of each other kind of hot...and I LOVED each second!)

Sorry...the storyline was fabulous as well!  Anyone who reads my reviews, knows that I hate to read a series out of order, so what did I do, I bought the first two books of the series, ALL OF YOU and BEFORE YOU BREAK, and I managed to read all three within three days...yes, they were that engaging and fun and sexy!  The characters all reminded me of the people I hung out with in college, and I thought the romances between Avery and Bennett and Ella and Quinn were so worth the read...especially if you love a romance that causes those butterflies to flap around in your belly, and your heart literally aches for the characters... They were that good!

Onto WHISPER TO ME, yeah...Christina Lee KILLED IT!!  On the money, Rachel and Kai are super sexy, with an emotional connection that has surpassed years apart.  I just loved WHISPER TO ME, and I think everyone should go out and grab the whole series...So So Worth it!!






Mother, wife, reader, dreamer. Christina lives in the Midwest with her husband and son--her two favorite guys. She's addicted to lip gloss, salted caramel everything, and believes in true love and kissing, so writing romance novels has become a dream job.

TEASE
The Ivy Chronicles #2

Releasing May 27th (FULL BOOK)
Amazon / B&N





What happens when a girl who always calls the shots meets a guy who's too wild for even her?

A born flirt and good-time party girl, Emerson has never had a problem finding a willing guy. She's always chosen her hookups carefully, and she's never broken her three cardinal rules:

Never let them see the real you.
Never fall in love.
Always leave them begging for more.

Then Shaw comes along. A hottie from the wrong side of the tracks, he's immune to her flirtatious banter and come-hither smile. After rescuing her from a disastrous night at a biker bar, he doesn't even try to take her to bed—he calls her a tease and sends her home instead. Unable to resist a challenge, or forget the sexy, dark-eyed, bad-boy biker, she vows to bring him to his knees.

But instead of making Shaw beg, Emerson finds herself craving him. For the first time in her life, she's throwing out her rule book. Suddenly, she's the one panting for a guy she can't control—a guy who won't settle for anything less than the real Emerson and who forces her to do things she's never imagined, including facing a past she thought she'd buried.

A guy who just might leave her wanting more. . . .

TRT: COLOR OF DANGER by Alexa Verde #giveaway #review #RomSusp @TastyBookTours


Enter to Win $20.00 Amazon Gift Card or
Digital Copy of COLOR OF DANGER



Former runaway Mari Del Lobo works hard to save her struggling restaurant and to trust people again. Dallas surgeon Dr. Luke Goodman turns her world upside down with terrifying news. A recent murder has her late brother's - aka the Smiling Killer - signature and MO. When attacks on her escalate, Mari fights her growing attraction to the good doctor as fiercely as she fights for her life. To rescue herself and those she loves, will she be able to stop the murderer before he strikes again?


Luke couldn't save his fiancée from the Smiling Killer, but he'll do anything to prevent more murders, even ask help from the serial killer's sister. Finding a kindred tortured soul and the perpetrator's next target in Mari, Luke is determined to protect the stubborn ex-rebel. But Mari would rather face danger than risk the safety of the man she comes to love. 






If you are a fan of Criminal Minds (as I am...come on, Shamar Moore...Need I say More?), you will certainly enjoy debut Romance Suspense, COLOR OF DANGER by Alexa Verde.  

I like a strong heroine like Mari, who wants to be able to protect herself, and hates to rely on others for protection...but when you find a fake head in your mini fridge, you know it might be time to let go of the reins a bit.

Dr. Luke Goodman has every reason to dislike the heroine, Mari, but many of those reasons went right out the door the moment his protective instincts kicked in. 

Not knowing who you can trust is a struggle for Mari, but she will have to learn to trust Luke before it is too late...and she winds up the next victim of the copy cat killer.

Cover Reveal: CALL ME SAFFRON (Greenpoint Pleasures #1) @TaliaQui @tastybooktours #giveaway #eARC


https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21976306-call-me-saffron


Samantha Lilly is in a long-term relationship… with her vibrator. She can’t handle a serious commitment, but casual affairs don’t do it for her either. So she’s resigned herself to being alone.

Her call-girl roommate Jeanine has other ideas. She persuades Samantha to take her place for one night with Dylan Krause, an incredibly hot prospective client recovering from a messy divorce. She says it’ll be good for Samantha to be with someone without her usual expectations and complications.

It’s more than good. It’s intense, extraordinary, and emotionally devastating. During their long, intimate night together, they bare, not just their bodies, but their souls.

But after that one amazing night, Samantha flees. This feels too real for her. And yet she can’t forget Dylan, even though she tries.

Then one day, he walks into the architecture firm where she works. Seeing him threatens to destroy the careful walls she’s built around her heart—and this time she can’t run away.

Flaunt it. Be your sexiest self. He has no idea who you are in real life. You will never see him again.

I let the coat slip out of my fingers and pool onto the floor in an elegantly careless heap.

Dylan stared at me, openly appreciative.

So pure, this transaction. So simple. So insane.

“Like what you see?” I made my voice sultry, like Mae West or what I imagined Jeanine to be like with a client. A mistake, because I immediately giggled at the absurdity.

Dylan raised his eyebrows. “Is this a joke to you?”

I walked over to him, a trifle unsteady on my stiletto boots, and pressed my hand against those damp curls on his chest. “No joke, Dylan Krause. Hardly a joke.” I could feel his heart thump under my palm, nearly as fast as my own. “So? Do you want me to stay? Or do I refund your money?”

He was startled into a laugh. “Blunt. I like that.”

“Good, because that’s what you get.”

“You’re not what I expected.” His gaze traveled over my body. I felt it like a caress.

I took another step, so close now, and ran my hand through his damp hair, enjoying the way it sprang against my fingers, a live thing. Enjoying the fact that I could do this. “What do you want to do first?”

“Who are you, Saffron?” He was looking at me with a strangely intent gaze.

And here Jeanine had assured me he wouldn’t want to talk.

Cover Reveal: SEDUCE ME (Ravage MC #2) @Ryan_Michele


https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20262760-seduce-me

Releasing June 9th, 2014

Casey Alexander grew up part of the Ravage Motorcycle family since the day she was abandoned by her mother and thrown into her father’s lap. Always seeing herself as an outsider, she spent her whole life trying to fit in, but never really succeeding. When she loses her beloved father, the utter aloneness engulfs her, leaving her searching for solace in the one man she’s always craved. Confessing her love for him only results in devastation when he pushes her away. Convinced she needs a fresh start, she leaves everything behind in order to mend her broken heart and begin building a future without him.

Gage Thomas (G.T.) Gavelson fell in love with his Angel when he was just a pint sized kid. Both beautiful and smart, he always felt she deserved so much better than him. Growing up beside her in the club only continued to test his will power, until one night, he gave into temptation. Realizing he couldn’t allow himself to hold her back from the life she deserved, he pushed her away, allowing her to believe she would never be enough for him. Letting her go had been the hardest thing he’d ever done. Even though he’d thought it’d been the right thing to do, not a day goes by that misery doesn’t consume him for it.

When a tragic shootout occurs, everything changes as once again their lives are intermingled. When you find your way back to the one person you are meant to be with, forgiveness should be easy. But sometimes, we hurt each other too much to ever be able to forgive.

Is their love strong enough to heal their pain?

I'm a mom and a wife who works full time. I have a huge obsession with collecting paperbacks and reading. Becoming an author, wasn't exactly what I set out to do, it just happened. I needed something to help me get rid of the feeling of being 'just a mom' or 'just a wife' that was consuming me and writing became that outlet. My book(s) cover some tough issues which are hard for some readers to digest. I am grateful for every single one of you who read my books.

Signed Copy of NIGHT GAMES (US Only)


BUY NOW



The moment Grey Kelleher locks eyes with All-Star shortstop Chase Whitfield, she's a goner. For years, she's watched him play on TV, and now she's gazing at his hard, lean body across a bar in her hometown.

Grey's crush on Chase goes all the way back to his rookie season. So when she approaches him for an autograph, she's startled by what a jerk he can be.

Chase is no mood to humor his fans, even one as alluring as Grey. He's in the last year of his contract and stuck having to prove himself on a minor league team. He's only there to rehab an injury, nothing more.

But when Grey tells him off, Chase realizes her fiery spirit may be just the distraction he needs to take his mind off not being in the majors. His heart is safe. No one's going to break his streak as baseball's most eligible bachelor. Not even someone as irresistible as Grey.





NIGHT GAMES is published... What's Next? 

I'm a big fan of romance writers like Toni Aleo who created a series that focuses on a different member of the same sports team with every new release. It builds a nice continuity for fans and gives new readers a chance to jump in at any point they'd like. The books aren't meant to be read in any particular order and there's a freedom to that formula that I like. It doesn't exclude anyone from joining in the fun. Readers can get to know whatever guys on the team they're attracted to the most.

In my next book I plan on focusing on two other members of the New York Kings – Brooks Davison and Kyle Roberts. The two of them have been best friends, coming up through the farm system together. Brooks, the new shortstop, is eager to start turning double plays with Kyle at second base. Everything is going great until Kyle has a health scare and is forced to take a leave of absence from the team. No one can stomach the thought of replacing him, especially so close to the playoffs. But management is in for a surprise when Kyle's sister, Sasha, shows up to claim his place, determined to become the first female player in Major League history. Her goal? To bring a World Series ring home to her brother while he watches on TV from his hospital bed. Impressed by her drive, Brooks begins to see Sasha in a whole new light, not as Kyle's little sister but as his partner on the field, and possibly in life.

This is a story I’ve been wanting to write for a long time, and Sarah Hansen from Okay Creations is designing the cover. And yes, Grey and Chase from NIGHT GAMES will be making a cameo appearance. So stay tuned! An official release date will be announced later this year on Goodreads.

Collette West grew up as somewhat of a jock-nerd hybrid. Entering the world three weeks premature, her dad nearly missed her birth because he had seats behind the dugout for a sold-out, highly-anticipated match-up between two of baseball's biggest rivals. Not to be outdone, her book-loving mom taught her how to read by the time she was three. A love of the game coupled with an appreciation for the written word were instilled in Collette's impressionable brain from a young age. No wonder her characters believe in the philosophy: sports + romance = a little slice of heaven.

Splitting her time between the Pocono Mountains and Manhattan, Collette indulges her inner fangirl by going to as many games as she can from hockey to baseball and downloading every sports romance novel in existence onto her iPad. When she's not clicking away on her laptop, she enjoys walking her dog in Central Park, satisfying her caffeine craving at the Starbucks on Broadway and keeping an eye out for Mr. Right. But above all, she loves dishing with her readers. Email her at collette_west@yahoo.com
