I grabbed this book off Amazon for free when I knew that I would be seeing this author at an author signing.

I love novella’s because they give you a feeling for an author and their series.  If I like a novella for a series I am more inclined to read a whole book in the series.  Well this book gave me a great bit of insight to this authors writing. I gotta tell ya, I am super excited to read more!

So this short but sweet story does end in kinda a cliffhanger but not really a cliff hanger??  Does that make sense??  In a way this book is set up for as a serial, IMO, then a novella…does that kinda clarify my comments about it being cliff hangery???

Annabelle and Jackson have had it bad for each other for a long time.  When they both end up staying at Annabelle’s family cabin at the same time and don’t know it….wow baby does it get steamy.

I loved that we, the reader, knew both the characters were at the house together but it took a few chapters for the characters to discover it and WHAT A WAY TO DISCOVER IT!!!

This is a super quick, steamy read but one I can’t wait to finish!

Daddy’s Best Friend
London Hale
Publication date: May 2nd 2017
Genres: Erotica, Romance

She’s temptation personified
Nathan had always been more than just my dad’s friend. I never thought he’d see me as an adult, especially not after avoiding me for so long. But one hug, one moment feeling every inch of him against me, shattered that illusion. Consequences no longer mattered—I was eighteen, and I was willing to risk everything for my shot with him.

He’s not going to resist anymore
I never should’ve seen Eve as more than my best friend’s daughter. As a cop, I knew it was wrong. It was my job to protect her from guys like me. Chasing her could cost me my career—not to mention the only family I’d ever known—but I couldn’t hold back another second. One taste, and I wanted her. To hell with the fallout.

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Anna Hague.
I have an alternate career as a sports writer, covering any sport, but my first love is IndyCar racing. I’m married to a wonderful, supportive husband, and we have three parrots and a dog. We’ve hosted foreign exchange students for many years and have been lucky enough to visit their home countries.

When and Why did you start to write?

I’ve written stories since I was very young, and I still find old notebooks with partial stories or ideas I’ve jotted down. I began to seriously pursue romance writing a few years ago when I was so fed up with my job at the time, I needed the escape of writing. Even though I kept working, I cut back my hours and dived head first into my projects.

What authors do you always read or suggest to others?

I’m a huge fan of Kat Martin. We both used to live in Bakersfield, CA, and I would see her at local signings. I also enjoy reading some kink, and for that, my favorites are Tamsen Parker and Tara Sue Me. Really, though, I just want a good story and will read just about anything.

What is the most surprising thing you have found out with the writing process?

It is much more painful than I thought, but I have so many other author friends who are helpful, supportive, and will hold my hand when I need it.
Since I still write for newspapers, the style is very different, and switching back and forth is a challenge.

What are you working on now?

I am nearly finished with Appearances which is an opposites story mixed with suspense. This book will be available at WOTR. Additionally, I am starting a sequel to Captured Hearts. The book was meant to be a stand alone, but several people are requesting more of the story. I have many notes and ideas in a notebook just waiting for me to begin.

When writing are you a pantser or plotter?

Complete pantser. Years of newspaper reporting makes me work better without a plans. Planning is usually a disaster for me.

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

I’m NJ Cole. I’m probably like most authors on here. Writing is my second career. I’ve published 8 books. I’m a mom and I’ve been married for 22 years. My husband is also my Dom. We attend a BDSM club weekly. I’ve really learned to explore that part of myself and bring it to my writing. Recently I’ve started writing about my personal experiences and sending it out in my newsletter.

When and Why did you start to write?

I started to write fan fiction and I still do. I always have something out there for free. It just kind of spiraled out of control after that.

What is the most surprising thing you have found out with the writing process?

I’ve found out that I can’t read and write at the same time. If I stop to read a book, I can’t get back into my own writing for a few weeks. It’s a bummer for a girl who loves to read and write.

What are you working on now?

I’m still working on a story called Milk Money. It’s a fan fiction, but it’s also going to be published. I’m working on the sequel to it now. In addition, I like to role play. Some of my role plays can be published. This summer I hope to put out at least two books.

When writing are you a pantser or plotter?

I assume that means writing by the seat of my pants? And that is me. I know the beginning, and then I let the characters tell me as I go. Once I was near the ending and I was like, “Ohhhhh, so that’s why the hurricane had to be named Abby!” I do often roll my own eyes at myself.

What if pro football is missing a key ingredient? Like a Girl is When Harry Met Sally meets Jerry Maguire with a whole lot of girl power thrown in.

Aiden Patrickson’s dreams of a championship ring mean nothing when playing for the worst team in pro football. A strong arm and deadly accuracy make no difference unless your front line stops the opposing team from trampling the quarterback.

It’s a new season and the suits upstairs are bringing additional players on board to turn the team around. Aiden has no clue what they’re thinking. The new kicker is old enough to be Aiden’s father. The only bright side is his daughter, a hot little number who catches Aiden’s eye and adds a touch of excitement to the new season.

Jordan Givens can’t stop her attraction to football’s bad boy quarterback. Aiden wasn’t ready for Jordan to enter his world but she’s worked her butt off to find her place in the male dominated sport of football. Aiden and his teammates don’t know what hit them when Jordan enters the locker room like she owns the place.

One crazy night in Jordan’s hotel room almost ruins her dreams and somehow, following the sexiest encounter of her life, she must avoid Aiden at all costs. It doesn’t matter how good he looks in tight football pants, she needs to focus on the end game.

Football is not a gentleman’s sport. It’s raw, dirty, and violent. Maybe what this losing team needs is a woman’s touch.

Review by Jordan

USA Today Best-Selling Author of the Completion Series–Play, Strike, Kick, Slam and Ruck. The Hotter Than Hell Series — Heat, Sizzle, and Burn, and the Club El Diablo Series.

Holly lives high in the Arizona Mountains with her husband and two spoiled dogs.

HEAT by CA Harms
Series: Montgomery Men #2 (Standalone)
Genre: Contemporary Romance
— SYNOPSIS —
Beckett Montgomery is a well-known detective in the New York area. He takes his job seriously and has little time for anything else.

But when he’s called to Shanelle Kramer’s apartment after she’s frightened by an intruder in the middle of the night, he finds himself getting a little too involved. He can’t seem to let go of the image of the beautiful, scared blonde sitting at the end of her couch in those tiny shorts and that even tinier tank top.

It was his job to keep her safe. His job to find the man stalking her.

From New York Times bestselling author Kylie Scott comes the second sizzling stand-alone novel in the Dive Bar series!

When his younger brother loses interest in online dating, hot bearded bartender Joe Collins only intends to log into his account and shut it down. Until he reads about her.

Alex Parks is funny, fascinating, and pretty much everything he’s been looking for in a woman—except that she lives across the country. Soon they’re emailing up a storm and telling each other their deepest, darkest secrets…except the one that really matters.

When Alex pays Joe a surprise visit, however, they both discover that when it comes to love, it’s always better with a twist.

I received a copy of this book via netgalley for an honest review.

This is the second book in the Dive Bar Series. Kylie has a way of sucking you into a book from the beginning and wanting to keep turning pages.  Ever feel like you were dropped into a twilight zone.  Well that is kinda what happens to Alex. She decides to go surprise a guy for his birthday that she has been emailing for months. When she arrives at the bar he has no idea who she is.  He has to be kidding with her he knows her. Gasp…what!! Joe has been pretending to be someone else this entire time.

I enjoyed Alex she was funny and witty but so did not want to trust Joe after what he did. Joe was the quiet bartender was loving and caring. The story line was great and watching Alex and Joe build on their friendship and grow into more was wonderful. Once things start going on the right path the past comes back and threatens to ruin everything they have overcome and built. Being able to read their emails from one another in the beginning stages of their relationship was perfect. I loved the banter these two had throughout the book and their relationship.

There was more going on it this book than just what Joe and Alex were going through. There was the whole Eric/Nell/Pat thing going on that took a twist I didn’t see coming.  We also get to see more of Vaughan and Lydia which was nice too. Oh and we even get a glimpse of the Stage Dive couples. Great job sucking me into the story my emotions were all over with this one and I cannot wait to see what is going to happen next.

Kylie is a New York Times and USA Today best-selling author. She was voted Australian Romance Writer of the year, 2013 & 2014, by the Australian Romance Writer’s Association and her books have been translated into eleven different languages. She is a long time fan of romance, rock music, and B-grade horror films. Based in Queensland, Australia with her two children and husband, she reads, writes and never dithers around on the internet.

Jolanthe Aleksander
Jolanthe is a Marine Corps Brat and proud of it. The nomadic life of the military helped develop her love of reading and books became her friend.

A dancer, Jolanthe was a member of the CBA team the Fury and appeared in several productions in the area theatres circuit. She gave up her role of dancer/actress for her greatest role to date, that of Mother to a son who reminds her every day to find joy in the simplest of things and to use her imagination.

Missing the stage, and at the prompting of some on-line friends, Jolanthe gave rp-ing with an internet group a try. There she found and developed her skill as a writer.
When not working, writing, or keeping up with her son, Jolanthe can be found scouring antique shops, used bookstores, and of course, reading.

When and Why did you start to write?

Years ago, I used to write poetry. I started story telling writing when I joined an on-line rp group.
There were several people in the group who decided to had decided to do NaNoWriMo and I thought, why not give it a shot.

What authors do you always read or suggest to others?

oooo….there’s a long list of authors:
Hannah Howell, Francis Statham Patton, Lynn Kurland, Diana Gabaldon
JR Ward, Christine Warren, Patricia Briggs, Jory Strong, Lora Leigh
Anne Bishop, Savannah Verte, Cherise Sinclair, Jenna Jacob, Eden Bradley, Sierra Cartwright
These are just a few of my favorites.

What is the most surprising thing you have found out with the writing process?

While writing the second book of The Veil series, I have found that pantsing, which worked well with the first book, doesn’t work so well when continuing a story. At least it hasn’t for me. lol
I’ve also found that I’m not as fast a writer as I would like to think I am. lol

What are you working on now?

Right now, I’m working on getting The Veiled Path to Destiny~The Veil Book 2 finished and to press.

When writing are you a pantser or plotter?

I would say that I straddle both worlds at the moment, but I’m leaning more and more to becoming a plotter.
