Excerpt reveal - Dating season bundle 2 & 3 by Laurelin Paige & Kayti McGee

    DATING SEASON: BUNDLE 2 & BUNDLE 3 by Laurelin Paige and Kayti McGee Genre/Tropes: Contemporary, Romantic Comedy   Bundle 2 includes Fall Hard & Winter Bloom and Bundle 3 includes Spring Fever & Summer Lovin in the Dating Season series.     START THE SERIES WITH BUNDLE #1!!! https://geni.us/DatingSeasonBundle1     Excerpt: He pushes the button. “You ok?” “Yeah.” “Second thoughts?” “Just the normal thoughts,” I admit. I’m always prone to spiraling. “But no, I’m good.” The doors slide close, and as soon as we’re alone inside, Logan tugs me closer. “Let me see how wet I can make you in two minutes.” It only takes a few seconds once his lips meet mine. I’m sure there are cameras getting a splendid view of me clinging to him as his tongue dips inside my mouth, but I don’t care. His kiss is intoxicating and makes me forget all about my previous Fun Affairs. The elevator stops, and his hand slips inside my panties. “Soaked.” He sucks his finger as the doors slide open, and then I become bolder by taking his hand and sliding the same finger into my mouth. “Damn,” he murmurs.     DATING SEASON: BUNDLE 2 by Laurelin Paige and Kayti McGee Release Date: November 9th   Add to Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/59463565-dating-season-bundle-2   Blurb: They say autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go… but I’m keeping Ryan’s beard.   Past Chloe has a lot to answer for. She’s made a number of questionable decisions, but drunkenly turning Ryan down on a dating app? Currently top of my list.   I love fall most of all, but oh my gourd, Ryan’s beard is fast becoming a close second.   Luckily, he’s ready to give me a second chance. We have everything in common, from art to weird history facts to the correct opinions about Titanic. And boy, does he know how to pumpkin spice it up in the bedroom.   We could easily be the cutest new couple in Boulder… if we ever leave his place.   They say winter is coming… and thanks to Logan, I am too.   If the past year has taught me anything, it’s that I am an idiot. Between The Incident, the upcoming nuptials, and finding a new place to live, I’m about ready to find a cave to hibernate in. Nearly murdering the lead singer of my favorite local band really should have been on everyone’s bingo card.   Their drummer going from medic to love interest was a plot twist I didn’t expect.   Logan has all the things I’ve been looking for--the newness of spring, heat of summer, comfort of fall, and the distraction I’d like. It may not be the traditional third date, but I’m bringing him to my best friend’s wedding anyway.   Charlotte’s not the only one who can lock a good time down.   The second two books in the laugh-out-loud Dating Season series together in one bundle. Includes Fall Hard and Winter Bloom.     DATING SEASON: BUNDLE 3 by Laurelin Paige and Kayti McGee Release Date: November 16th   Add to Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/59463574-dating-season-bundle-3   Blurb: It’s time for spring cleaning, but I’m not ready to toss Logan yet   Out with the old, in with the new… a new me, that is. Now that Charlotte’s married, I, too, have decided to be mature. So Logan isn’t Austin--that’s okay. Better than okay. That’s what I’d wanted all along, someone just as kind and loving and--okay, smoking hot--as my roommate. But a kind, loving, smoking hot someone who likes me back.   Logan has basically been all my dreams come true.   If I could stop stressing about work for five whole minutes to appreciate it, I’m sure I would be really happy. Thank God I have Austin to keep me grounded. Literally, because he makes me garden with him now. And maybe it’s just the stress talking, but it kind of seems like he wants to put down roots too. How come no one told me maturity would be this complicated?   My dating season has come to a close, and I’m ready for a Hot Boyfriend Summer…   Almost every single thing in my life has changed over the past year.   New job.   New me.   New knowledge.   Ah, to be young again, with the wisdom I have gained over a year’s worth of dating-as-a-competitive-sport.   If only I’d had just about an inch more before I made my commitment…   The final two books in the laugh-out-loud Dating Season series together in one bundle. Includes Spring Fever and Summer Lovin.     About Laurelin Paige: With millions of books sold worldwide, Laurelin Paige is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author.

Title: Closer
Series: Rock Stars & Romance #3
Author: A.K. Evans
Genre: Rock Star Romance
Release Date: November 2, 2021


BLURB

Walker Rhodes has never been the typical rock star—one who is happy with meaningless hookups. That’s because he’s been hiding a secret from his bandmates for years.

Sadie Emerson knew it was risky to open her heart to Walker, but the man was too hard to resist. And now that she’s fallen in love with Walker, all Sadie wants is to be closer to him.

But there’s one small problem. Beck.

Neither Sadie nor Walker have shared the truth of their relationship with her brother. Beck has always been protective of his little sister, so it’s only natural for them to fear his reaction.

The pair refuse to give one another up, but they’re both worried that when Beck finds out, Walker will have to choose between the woman he loves and the band he calls his family.

EXCERPT

Once upon a time, there was a girl with a crown too heavy for her head and a prince who was ready to steal it all for himself.
“No, give that back!” I scream as Luca runs past me and snatches the crown right off my delicate head.
He laughs out loud and spins around on the grass a few feet away from me, dangling the crown between his index finger and thumb while wearing a disgusting smirk on his face. He blows aside a strand of his brown hair, his dark eyes taunting me. “C’mon then. I dare you to get it back.”
My eye twitches, and my hand curls into a fist. “Give. It. Back,” I say through gritted teeth.
When I approach him, he keeps backing up, making it impossible to retrieve.
“Stop,” I hiss.
“No,” he replies, grinning so broadly I want to take off these pretty new heels I got from Mom and jab them in his face.
Instead, I dig my heels in and sprint toward him, trying to catch him off guard. He twirls the crown around right as I catch up, giggling hard as he sidesteps to avoid me. “Missed,” he muses.
I growl in frustration. “Luca!”
“Jill!” He imitates my voice with a high-pitched tone, and the sound makes my blood boil.
“C’mon, Luca …” My sister, Jasmine, sighs as she follows us around the garden in her pink dress.
“What, Jasmine?” he scoffs.
“It’s not funny!” I jump to snatch the crown from his hand, but he keeps throwing it up and down, out of my reach, backtracking like he enjoys seeing me struggle.
So I stop and put my hands against my side. “Why do you do this? Huh?”
He raises a brow and shrugs. “Because you look stupid.”
My jaw drops, and a gasp escapes my mouth. “I do not!”
“Only queens and princesses wear crowns,” he retorts. “And you’re neither.”
I’m fuming so much it feels like steam might exit from my ears. “I am a queen!”
He waggles a finger. “Queens are only queens if they’re married to a king.” He plops the crown onto his own head. “Maybe I’ll be one now.”
Jasmine begins to giggle, but when I look at her, she slaps her hand in front of her mouth like she’s trying to hide it.
“C’mon then, Jill. You wanted to be a queen,” Luca jests, and he waves his hand and dips into a bow.
I frown. “What? You want me to be your queen?” I snort out loud.
He cocks his head. “A queen isn’t a queen if she isn’t married.”
I revolt at that thought.
Me marrying Luca? No way.

TRAILER




EXCERPT

The server comes over and fills my glass with Barolo. She tries to fill Killian's glass, and he puts his hand over it. "I'm good, thank you."

I question, "You don't drink wine?"

He chuckles. "You make that sound like a sin."

"It is," I insist.

"I stick with whiskey and Guinness." I raise my eyebrows. I've never met a man before who doesn't drink wine. In my house, it's at every dinner.

Selena laughs, and I tear my eyes away from Killian. She has a beautiful Greek accent. "You can't get any more Irish than the O'Malleys."

"Are you from Greece?" I ask.

She nods. Her eyes light up. "Yes. I moved to Chicago when I was barely in my twenties. If you want, I'll take you around and show you the city when you have a chance?"

"Sure. That would be really nice."

"Have you been there before?" she asks.

"No."

Killian dramatically gasps. "You've never been to Chicago?"

"Now you're acting like that's a sin," I tease.

"Anna moved from New York, too," another Russian man across the table states.

The woman next to him smiles. She says, "It's like a smaller New York but with its own charm. I'm sure you'll love it."

Her husband beams and says, "Since you're all here, we should tell you. Anna's pregnant, too, so we'll be staying in tonight."

The room erupts in congratulations.

"Do you like yoga?" Selena asks.

"Yes."

"Great. Us girls meet up for yoga and do brunch afterward on Saturdays. You should come."

"I'd love to," I reply, grateful I'll have something to look forward to with some other women. I've never really had girlfriends. The private school Papà sent me to was full of backstabbing snobs. When I got older, several I was close to got mad at me for their boyfriends hitting on me. I didn't even like their scumbag beaus. My best friend wanted Massimo. When he turned her down, she stopped calling me. One by one, all my friendships disintegrated. I decided it was too hard to meet genuine women and stopped trying. My wedding party consists of my cousins who are younger than me and I'm not even close to. I opted to meet them at the church and not even let them help me get ready.

Will things be different in Chicago? Is it possible to have a group of girlfriends?

Release blitz - Billionaire mogul : Rhys by Scarlett Avery

 Release Date: November 1


He’s my overprotective older brother’s lifelong best friend…

That alone should prevent me from throwing myself at him, but it doesn’t.

My world starts and ends with sexy one-hit wonder turned billionaire mogul, Rhys Hartford.

Not that it matters. Rhys’s fierce loyalty to my brother trumps everything. When it comes to me, he has blinders on.

I’ve been in love with him for half of my life, but he’s completely oblivious to my infatuation. Even as an adult, no other man has ever been able to make me forget the tall, blue-eyed hunk who has a hold on my heart.

Not even unrequited love is enough of a crushing humiliation to open myself to possibilities with another man, so I resigned myself to never having what I want––him.

After my short-lived career comes to a screeching halt, leaving me without a dime to my name, I’m forced to move in with the man who’s played a starring role in all of my teenage—and young adult—fantasies.

Now that my brother’s best friend and I are roommates, the stakes are high.

How do I convince him to break the bro code? …And cross the line?


USA Today Bestselling Author Scarlett Avery brings you a scorching hot older brother’s best friend romance that will keep you reading well past your bedtime.

READER WARNING: You’ll be fanning yourself… a lot. If you’re not into dominant, tattooed billionaire execs and sassy heroines who are willing to pull all the tricks in the book to seduce the man she’s been lusting after forever, DO NOT one-click this scorching hot romance.

Meet Scarlett Avery


I live in the Great North (aka Canada)!

I’m a USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR and an Amazon Bestseller author! 

Here’s the reason I step into my dream every single morning when I wake up:

“Some books you read. Some books you enjoy. But some books just swallow you up, heart and soul.” — Joanne Harris (Author of the award-winning novel, Chocolat)


I muse about dangerously loving and fierce alphas and the sassy women who bring them down to their knees.

I write sultry, sensual and steamy romance novels, laced with kinks. I’ll admit my novels are scorching hot, but if you can’t push the boundaries between the pages of a book, it’s just not fun.


I’m constantly walking around with new stories/dialogues floating in my head. I consider myself lucky I get to spend my days dreaming up the most delicious alphas in romance. I love every minute of it!

 

On a personal note… 

I have a serious love affair with Italian gelato, ice cream, pound cake, white chocolate and Macadamia nut cookies, peanut butter cookies, and Martinis. I could live off French or Italian charcuterie boards. California Chardonnay? Thank you, God!

 

Like most women, I have way more shoes than I need, but it’s so hard to resist getting new ones. If you’ve read my books, you know I have an obsession with high heels, hence the photo at the top. At 5’9, I hardly need more height, and God knows I can’t walk like a lady with anything higher than 2 1/2 inches, but I drool all over them, and admire women who can rock heels. That’s why I live vicariously through my main female characters who wear 4 and even 5-inch heels with elegance and poise.

 

I hold two University degrees in two different languages from two of the two prestigious international business schools. Just like Sofia and Ciara, the main female characters of my first two romance books, I speak several languages.

 

Since publishing my first book, I’ve been blessed with an insanely awesome group of faithful readers. I love those ladies so much. Their passion for my books makes the very, very long hours rewarding.
