She’s a single mom, kid-free for a week. He’s the sexy, young substitute teacher in the apartment next door. She moans, he knocks and together they both find something new.

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

ANNNNND this book is every reason why I love Kate.  She can write the hell outta anything and make it super naughty!!!  This book had me turning red, getting hot, and anticipating what would happen to Mr. Miller and Mrs. Anders *wiggle eyes*

Monica was so me at one point in my life minus having the kiddos.  Falling and divorcing your child hood sweetheart who leaves you broken and devastated over cheating with a new, shiny toy.  She is just living life and wondering where to start to get it back on track when Logan enters her life.  Her new, hot, and much younger neighbor invites her over for coffee annnd a little flirting.

The couple “explore” things while her kiddos are gone and we wonder what will happen when the “vacation” is over.

Friends this book has so many feels even with it being a novella.

I received this book for an honest review. 

SAY WHAT!!! Ok Friends this is a novella but oh man it is packed with so much more. 

There is hot, spicy and like the title states Quick and Dirty.  Let me tell you I am addicted to Monica Anders and Logan Miller. 

Monica is a divorced single mom. The kids are off to their Dad’s and his “new” woman for the week. Monica has the whole week to do whatever she wants only question is what. Her decision was an easy one after she meets her SMOKING HOT neighbor Logan. 

All it took was two knocks to begin this super-hot and naughty week long fling between Mrs. Anders and Mr. Miller.  Question is what will happen when the week is over and the kids are back? I’m telling you I was flying through these pages just to find out what was going to happen next between these two.  I cannot wait to see what the next book will bring but I do know it will be sizzling HOT.

ublished since 2012, Kate Roth is addicted to all things romance. Her passion for love stories, both traditional and unconventional, has led her to write in various sub-genres of romance. She is inspired by everything from music to the real-life romance tales she’s heard through her years as a professional hair stylist.

Kate spends her time away from the keyboard with her insta-love husband, her sweet baby boy and faithful pound puppy.

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

*Wipes tears* I am soooo happy with this book and so sad at the same time.  I don’t think you understand the love I have with my Baby Daddy Blake AKA The Lip Ringed Hottie!!  It’s been serious love since the first time I read him.  I am not sure I am ready to let him go………

If you are a fan of this series, THIS. BOOK. IS. EVERYTHING!!!  It was the perfect mix of each couple.  We are seeing a happy Blake and Tess along with a content Jason and Corrine…I mean WHAT!!>??  YES CONTENT!!!

I still love to see and read the Firecracker and her teddy bear, Abby and Adam. They have grown so much but seeing them still growing and moving their relationship further was the best.  Abby is still in her head, but I love that Adam knows what to do to reach his girl.

Megan and Matt ….sigh….serious IF Blake didn’t own my heart, Matt would be my guy.  Megan and Matt are so sweet and in love but seeing her doubt everything about what she thought was important was making my heart hurt.  Matt *swoon* yeah just dreamy sigh about what a perfect man he is.

Jason and Corrine..who would have thought I would like him let alone be pulling for HIM to succeed in life given everything he did in the beginning???  But Jason Parker is Not That guy anymore.  The things that Corrine and he deal with are real life situations and I loved their story line so much.  Seeing her become more of the group and with the girls was good too.

Blake and Tess…….STOP!!  I can’t …..I won’t.  I mean…NOOO!!!  I refuse to think their story is over!!!  Blake and his Pretty Girl are in a good place.  They are so happy but seeing Tess worry and stress over everything they deal with and seeing Blake still stand behind her…sigh…..guys…yeah I just……I love them so much as characters………

If you enjoyed the Western Palm series like I do, you absolutely MUST read the final book because it totally answers all the questions about each couple.

#WOTR19 #Review – The Arts of Love: Stories of Sensual Creativity by Harley Easton

The Arts of Love: Stories of Sensual Creativity

You know what they say about those creative types…

Playful, rebellious, sensitive and passionate, nobody loves like an artist. These sixteen stories set the stage for racy encounters with bad boy rock stars, sensual actors, and artists seeking their muse. Inside this collection you’ll find:

* A drummer aching to satisfy the one woman who doesn’t recognize that he’s a rock star
* A writer unaware that his fans and former assistant find him undeniably attractive
* An eccentric college professor enticing her protégé with informal lessons on dance, drawing, and desire
* A stage manager struggling to remain professional with the show’s sexy director

Whether you’re looking for a playwright provoking her friend’s uptight cop neighbor to help with blocking, two choir men battling for the affection of the girl-next-door, or a struggling writer finding an unusual muse in the Japanese countryside, this collection will have you ready for romance.

Goodreads

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

So I will claim right up front, I know jack all about music…LOL  so I appreciated the Musical Terms Glossary at the end of the first story!!

This book is a collection of short stories from this author.  Each story is about a different character and a different musical theme I guess you could say.

The book is a great way to sample to author to see her writing style and flow in each story.  I have previously read one other story, but this was a different vibe then that one.  Some of the stories in the collection are a whole lot steamier then the others….HELLO BRADLEY in Headphones……. where others are less heat filled but still naughty.

It’s a great book if you have a few minutes and want to read a quick story.  Its also great if you are looking for light but solid writing in each story.  I have to say Mistaken Identity was my favorite.  The story of Justin and Gina was great.  I would love to know more about them.

Harley Easton is a Renaissance woman dabbling in everything life offers. She’s worked at a major theme park, found expert witnesses for legal cases, been a guest lecturer at a well known national museum, and worked with medical students. Putting experience and insanity to good use, she’s become an author specializing in erotic, romantic, and speculative fiction.

 

#WOTR19 #AuthorSpotlight – Lisa Caviness

Lisa Caviness

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

My name is Lisa Caviness. I’m originally from the Midwest but I lived in the Boston area for a number of years before moving to Indiana. I have a degree in Nursing and have worked in various positions in healthcare including as a psychiatric nurse and as a research project manager for pharmaceutical and medical device clinical trials. I have three children, a busy attorney husband, and an adorable black cat that comes to stay with me on occasion.

Where is your favorite place to write and what food must be present?

I don’t have a special place to write but when working at home I often move from my desk to various locations around the house. I also write in the car, usually when we’re going to visit my parents in Ohio (and my husband is driving of course!) or while waiting for one of kids at soccer practice, piano, or one of the other many activities they are involved in. I usually don’t eat and write but I will often have tea or coffee.

What are you favorite things about attending signings?

My favorite things about attending signings are talking to readers as enthusiastic as I am about books. I also enjoy meeting authors and collecting new books of my own to read.

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?

That’s a hard question because I have several favorites who I believe are great authors. If I had to settle on one I’d choose Nora Roberts because her books started my love of the romantic suspense genre.

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

My favorite memory was the thrill and emotion of publishing my first book. The first time I saw my words in print was a special moment I thought I’d never have. It was a lot of hard work and a moment I’ll never forget.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review of Order of Fear HERE

 

#WOTR19 #CoverReveal – Twisted by Aleatha Romig

 

The underworld of Chicago is far from forgiving. It’s a world where knowledge means power, power money, and money everything.

While I paid the ultimate price to have it all, it wasn’t my decision to give up my life.

That doesn’t mean I ceased to exist, only to live.

Going where the job takes me and living in the shadows, with deadly accuracy I utilize the skills inherent to me, not knowing from where they came, not recalling what I’d lost.

And then I saw her.

Laurel Carlson.

I shouldn’t want her, desire her, or need her, yet with each sighting I know she is exactly what I have to have. Laurel has the ability to do what I thought was impossible. She sees what others don’t.

My gut tells me that it’s a deadly mistake to change my plans and open my world to her. My mind says she’ll be repulsed by my twisted existence.

None of that matters, because my body won’t take no for an answer.

I’ve made dangerous mistakes before.

This time, will the price be too high?

 

From New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a brand-new dark romance bringing us back to the same dangerous underworld as SECRETS. You do not need to read the Web of Sin trilogy to get caught in this new and intriguing saga, Tangled Web.

TWISTED is book one of the TANGLED WEB trilogy which will continue in OBSESSED and conclude in BOUND.

Where is your favorite place to write and what food must be present?

I love meeting the other writers. After all – every writer is a reader too.

What author would you love to write with?

]Because mystery is out of my element – I’d love to collaborate with TC Winters on a cozy mystery that I’ve started but can’t wrap my brain around the twist and turns needed to do the story justice. I love how her minds works a story out.

#WOTR19 #Review – Fall by CA Harms

Title: Fall 
Series: Montgomery Series #3
Author: CA Harms
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: February 26, 2019
Knoxville Montgomery liked things his way. He kept everything simple and he was always in control. That is until a head-strong blonde stumbled into his life and changed everything. She became a challenge he refused to give up on.
 
It didn’t matter how much Knoxville tried, Tinley would not give into him. She couldn’t. On the outside, she appeared to be resilient and untouchable, but her reality was a much different story. 
 
But Knoxville would not give up. Little by little, he started to tear down her walls, and at that moment, Tinley knew. Even though she fought it with every, single fiber in her body, their outcome was fated.
 
She would Fall…
 
And all she could do now was hope he’d willing to catch her.

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

Finally, my man gets a dang book!!  LOL

These men are super great reads.  I mean HELLO I was torn up about which brother I was going to claim.  Since my friends get MAD when I claim them all, I stuck with Knox.

So Knox and Tinley…holy hell did the pages melt.  These two are some kinda yummy to read.  Knox is just *Dream Sigh* I mean …yeah he is just that!!  Tinley….guuuuuuuurl has some stuff going on that she has to deal with but Knox was all in .  He knew she was it for him and he was not letting her down!!  Remember how I said he was dreamy…yeah me too…wait ok back to the story review….

So Tinley was done with men and the Ice Queen was not going to give in to it anymore.  She has her mind set and then ….yeah….Knox…….Ladies if you haven’t realized by NOW…..this story is everything you will love in a romance.  There are hilarious scenes thanks to Lex.  There is chemistry thanks to Knox and there is a great HEA waiting for you to read and discover!!!

C.A. Harms is like any other addicted reader. She enjoys happy endings and HEA love stories. She hasn’t always been a lover of Romance and had once been addicted to a good Mystery. Just recently she has taken on a new liking and now is a full blown Romance novel addict.
 
She lives in Illinois and enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. You will always find her with her kindle or paperback in hand as it is her favorite pass time.
