Sarah O’Rourke

There’s something about the little black dress. The go-to wisp of material that’s perfect for any occasion. The quintessential LBD hugs, stretches, and moves with the female form. Every woman needs one at some point, and sometimes that means borrowing from a friend.

Starting with Abby, this lucky LBD makes its way into the stories of Lucy, Katie, and Winnie right when they need it most.
Four women, four stories, and four happily ever afters…
And it all started with one little black dress.

Warning: Keep your hands off our Little Black Dress if you’re not 18.

Sarah O’Rourke is the alter ego of two best friends who have taken their passion for romantic fiction and erotica to the publishing world. Born and raised in the southern United States, one lives near Louisville, KY, while the other resides in Atlanta, Georgia. Neither is ever very far from a tall glass of sweet iced tea, their dog-eared copies of Gone With the Wind, or their Steel Magnolias DVDs!

Formerly an accountant and a chemist, they are now overworked, stay-at-home moms who adore their children, their husbands…and writing about love in every way possible!

Cole Clarke is a broken man, with a sham marriage and nowhere to turn. Allyn Anders is a self-proclaimed hermit, only straying from her apartment when she is forced to attend work meetings and when her best friend drags her out. When this pair has a chance encounter, sparks fly and there is undeniable attraction. Attraction that is impossible to resist. The morning after, Allyn discovers that Cole just happens to be the lead singer of the band that makes Maroon 5 look like child’s play–Sunday Told A Secret is rocking their way across the country as they’re wrapping up their first world tour. Cole returns home to L.A, infatuated with this other woman, only to discover that his alcoholic wife has started dappling in more than just booze. When he thinks his life is falling apart, Cole knows he can call on Ally. Are they able to make it work? Is Ally okay with being the other woman?

Review by Jordan

Noell Mosco is a 30-something-year-old who lives in Southwestern Pennsylvania, born and raised. A country girl at heart, she currently resides in Suburbia. Writing has been one of Noell’s passions since she was young, completing her first “book” at eleven. Since then, she’s always dreamed of becoming a best-selling author. Her full-time job as a physical therapist means she is compassionate, and it allows her to follow-up with her close-2nd biggest passion – traveling the world. Noell reluctantly admits to having a love of wine, though her poison of choice is generally tequila.

Mystery surrounds Lucky Stables. Many, like Emily Lane’s parents, fell in love there. After tragedy struck, Emily ran far away, believing the Stables were cursed. In Emily’s absence, Shane Patterson stepped in to help Emily’s aging father. When Emily returns home, will Shane help her believe in love and luck again?

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

I enjoyed Shane and Emily but Emily’s animals walked away with my heart. Shane is a sweet hard working lovable man. Emily is a strong willed independent soft hearted woman.

The stables have a magic about it Emily’s parents fell in love there but Emily was convinced the stables were not magic but cursed. She left never planning on returning but when her dad needed help she returned. She found Shane who was there helping while she was gone.

Shane came to help out Emily’s dad he had his own story of the lucky stables. When he saw Emily he wanted to find out if the stables actually had Magic. Will Emily and Shane find their magic or will their real life get in the way and prove the stables are cursed.

This was a quick read and enjoyable. I liked getting to know all the characters. Emily was such a strong female that I enjoyed reading about her. Shane was a good hearted kind soul that loved to help others.  The interactions between Emily and her dad and Hank and Charlotte were great. What I loved the most was when Johnny and Stevie were with Emily and Shane.

I really want more of this series there where so many great characters and I want to get to know all of them more.

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

What a fun, quick yet hawt read from Ashley.  I was super excited to see some of my old friends from her other series in the story. Even a quick glimpse made me happy!

Emily and Shane are an insta-love couple but I liked the “magic” behind it so it didn’t really bother me.  No when I say magic, no this is not a paranormal novel but the theme of finding love at Emily’s family stables was a fun one.

Emily moved home after finishing veterinarian school to be struck stupid by the hottie cowboy who is helping her father out.  Shane has seen pictures of young Emily, not grown adult Emily so when he sees her, he is a mess of nerves.  This hot very self-assured cowboy is a mess around our strong willed feisty female.

The story is about them both healing from their pasts and hoping that the magic will not let them down.  When the couple start to explore things, drama ensues and we wonder if they have been cursed against love.

I loved Lee because he made Shane step up his A game but he also brought some comic relief to the storyline at one point.  LOL

Ashley Hampton works as a Licensed Psychologist in private practice during the day. When she leaves work, she puts on her writer and photographer hats and enjoys living in the worlds created in her mind. She lives near her hometown of Birmingham, Alabama with her cat, Gemma. Ashley wanted to find a creative way to meld her love for music and psychology with writing, and the Southern Rock Lyrics series was born. With other series planned, Ashley wants to write in the romance, erotica, and psychological thriller genres.

Logan

Everyone’s had a summer crush. One that’s etched into your memories so hard that it leaves an indelible mark, like a scar on your heart. For me, that crush is my first love, Carver Edwards. I met him at fifteen at summer camp, and for three perfect summers, he was mine. Until the blazing heat of the summer sun faded and reality crashed in. Carver went off to college, leaving me trapped in my small farming town, with no way of reaching him and a problem I needed solving.

Carver

As the senior captain of my college basketball team, all I’ve been focused on the past four years has been playing, school, getting drafted in the NBA, and steering clear of relationships. I didn’t want them. I had nothing to give another girl. I’d given it already. So, I built my rep as a player, and honed my natural ability to charm the pants off girls. It’s what I did. Who I was. Who I am.

Until March, when a lay-up during a tournament landed me in an emergency room, under the care of Logan Shaw – my first love. Of all the people I could run into, why did it have to be her? Not only did my face get split wide open, but so did the locks that held the pain I’d attempted to bury for so many years.

Now that she’s back in my life, we must face the truth and the consequences of our actions – even if it could destroy us. We must uncover the truths that have kept us shackled from moving forward. That could possibly set us free.

SO I am not a basketball person but you go Sierra because you sure did seem to know your stuff…LOL  But really this book was a great read. It was the 3rd book in the series but you don’t need to read the other two to know what is going on.

Logan is super sweet and you love her right away. Carver…well the Douche ends up stealing your heart because of how he feels and treats Logan.  The couple meet at summer camp and have a summer camp love affair….but then it fast forwards to 5 years later.  Logan is working for a dentist and Carver is a basketball stud finishing his degree.  Well when Fate wants you to be with your person she finds a way to get the job done.    When Carver needs a dentist, guess who goes to help????  Yup you got it!!  The couple have some thigs to get through but when you are older and wiser you can make it work!!

The book is sweet but also super steamy and a bit naughty….again I say, GO Sierra!!  Who doesn’t love a dirty talking hottie??  *looks around* exactly, we love them!!

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

I have enjoyed this series. I love getting to know this basketball team. watching the chemistry explode betting Logan and Carver was wonderful.

Logan is a strong woman that overcame a lot in her life. She fell in love with a boy at summer camp. When he left for college he left her to pick up the pieces at a time in her life when she needed him the most.

Carver only had one love, Logan, but when he left for college there was no communication with her. he could never get close to another woman always comparing them to Logan. Then one game, one layup, and one elbow set his world on its side. This day he landed face to face with Logan. With seeing her his brick wall begins to fall.

I love books that tell the story through flashbacks. It gives you the back story a glimpse at a time. To see Carver and Logan as love struck kids and then to see how they grew into the people they are today was wonderful but not as great to see their relationships as adults.

This is the third book in the series but you do not have to read the others to know what was going on.  Sierra Hill did a wonderful job with this series and these guys.

Sierra Hill wrote her first full-length romance after a corporate acquisition led her to a stint of unemployment, offering her some quality writing time.

She loves writing about the fictional characters that live in her brain who constantly shout for their own love story to be told.

Sierra resides in the Pacific Northwest with her husband of twenty years and her long-haired, German Shepherd. She is currently working on her next book.

Thanks for reading and reviewing her books. Keep the passion alive!

Hello my Goodreads friends!

I’m a New Yorker who lives on the Upper East Side. I write THE MANHATTANITES, a contemporary romantic soap opera of full length, stand alone novels, and it’s juicy prequel companion series THE UNDERGRAD YEARS.

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Lyssa Layne is first, and foremost, the proud momma to her precious daughter, AR. In addition to working full-time and being a mommy to AR, she is also an avid St. Louis Cardinals fan, a runner, blogger, and an infertility survivor.

Having watched one too many medical dramas and being inspired by author Rachelle Ayala, who introduced her to the world of indie writing, Lyssa decided to try her hand at writing a romance story. Her attempt turned into the Burning Lovesick series. You can find Lyssa’s own interests throughout her stories although all stories are fictional.

When and Why did you start to write?

As a blogger, I had been introduced to the world of indie writing. The more I read, the more I thought, hey, I could do this so… I did! I started writing my first novel, Love is a Fire in the fall of 2013. I had been binge watching Grey’s Anatomy and Rescue Me which is pretty obvious in the storyline. It was published in May 2014.

What authors do you always read or suggest to others?

K.S. Thomas, Melissa Keir, Michele Shriver to just name a few!

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

That there isn’t an editing fairy to take you from your first draft to the final product.

What are you working on now?

Currently, I’m trying to wrap up my Italian DiDominzio family series. I was supposed to publish it December 2015 but due to a few hiccups up in my writing schedule, it’s been pushed back. I’m trying to get it published by my birthday, March 13, and it’s going to be amazing. It’s a series of four, longer, novellas, each one about a sibling in the DiDominzio family. The drama starts off slowly and builds with each sibling. The thing I love about it is that you get to see the relationships progress in each story so it’s like keeping tabs on old friends of yours.

When writing are you a pantser or plotter?

A bit of both. I always start off with an outline but seem to always deviate from it. It’s nice to at least know where the starts and where it needs to go, even if everything in the middle gets changed up some.

Oh ladies!!  Man, do you know how to write an alpha hottie!! I mean each guy you write I love more than the rest and Fire Chief, Aiden, was no different.  Alpha all the way!!  I was snickering a little bit at his jealous nature when other single guys came into the bar to meet our new librarian Carolina.  But seriously, Wrath…WHEN DOES HE GET A BOOK!!!  Enough said……..

Carolina is in desperate need of change.  Boy, does she get it when she moves from California to small town Tennessee.  Her first meeting with Aiden is a great scene and lets you know exactly how far our alpha will go to win this woman’s heart.

As always with these books, we get to catch up with town favorites but you don’t need to read any of the previous books to know what is happening.  This book was a nice, hawt, and hilarious short read for a Saturday binge reading session.  You really can’t go writing with this author duo.  Their books are always a favorite of mine!

Aiden had known the second he laid his eyes on that spectacular hourglass figure of hers that he wanted her. Of course he had. A man would have to be dead not to want to spend time between those gorgeous thighs, worshiping at those fantastic breasts while he fucked into what he’d bet was the tightest pussy in creation. Yes, his cock had screamed ‘MINE!’ the moment his gaze settled on her fine little body. But the second she’d turned and he’d seen her exquisite face for the first time… yeah, he’d been done. He’d known that woman would hold him – heart, mind, body, and soul.

There’d been no question at all.

He was claiming sweet Carolina for his own.

Born and raised in the southern United States, they are overly attached to their one-click accounts, can’t make it through the day without copious doses of caffeine, and spend way too much time on the phone with each other.

Between them, they have four children and twenty years of marriage…one to a retired super soldier and the other to egomaniac engineer. They hate empty chocolate wrappers and writer’s block, love to talk to readers…and oh, by the way, they write about strong, kick-ass women and hot alpha heroes!
