New Release ~ A SEAL'S Surprise

A SEAL's Surprise ~ by Tawny Weber ~ is finally here!

A SEAL’s Surprise Blurb:

A SEAL’s Surprise is the third novella in New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Tawny Weber’s Sexy SEAL novella series, companion stories to her Bestselling Sexy SEAL series of novels.

Even when all his buddies are jumping ship, one sexy SEAL is determined to keep his vow…

Charting her course…

Successful event planner Macy Berk plans to make her friend’s Valentine’s week wedding the event of the year. She’s not about to let the bride’s brother mess anything up. Especially since he’s the one who unceremoniously dumped her because of his misguided vow that his commitment to being a Navy SEAL would trump his commitment to any relationships. She has a plan to ensure smooth sailing for the wedding week…

Stormy waters ahead…

Petty Officer Eli Spencer is determined to keep his distance from everyone in order to avoid voicing the unpopular opinion that this wedding is a huge mistake. When they committed to becoming SEALs, he and his buddies made a vow to one another: being a SEAL would allow no room for distractions like relationships. But now all his buddies are jumping aboard the love boat…

Man overboard…

Most women try to avoid the lover who jilted them. But Macy’s plan is simple: seduce Eli until he’s too worn out to ruin anything—but still has enough energy left to admit he was wrong to put his love of duty before his love for her. Until she realizes just how dangerous loving a SEAL could be, for both of them. But being a SEAL means being strong, including strong enough to admit he may have been wrong…

A SEAL’s Surprise excerpt:

“Why am I against Blaire getting married?” Eli asked.  

Macy’s only response was to tilt her head to the side. The wind grabbed all that long, silky hair, sending it flying around her face in a silken dance.  

“I’m all for her getting married.  It’s my little sister marrying a SEAL that I’m against.” 

“You’ve made your feelings very clear.”  Her words were as cold as the ocean-tinged air.  “But thankfully, Sam and Blaire didn’t let some stupid prejudice keep them from believing in love.”

“How thankful will Blaire be when she’s stuck home alone for months at a time?  How’s that going to go when Sam gets back after a long deployment and can’t tell her a thing about where he’s been or what he’s been doing?  How long does a relationship stand that sort of distance?”  Swallowing the bitterness coating his throat, Eli stared out at the water.  With the sun set, there was no defense against the biting chill, which fit his mood perfectly.  

“You don’t know—”

“Yes.  I do know.  I know that Sam is going to be training in ways he’s never done before.  I know there will be demands on his body, on his mind, on his commitment.  I know he’s going to face one hell of a lot in the next ten years.”  Including death.  He didn’t put those words out there, though.  He couldn’t.  “Now, because he’s marrying her, he’s going to force my sister to face all of that, too.  Only she gets to do it blindfolded.”  

He didn’t bother looking toward Macy.  He knew she didn’t get it.  Apparently, nobody did.  Eli had spent his life trying to be the hero, but in this situation, he was clearly the bad guy.  Wasn’t that enough to be pissed off about? 

He heard the rustle behind him and figured Macy was walking away.  He sighed, but couldn’t find the energy to shrug.  But he damn near jumped out of his boots when he felt her hand on his back.

“I’m sorry,” she murmured when he looked at her.  Her eyes brimming with sympathy, she gave him a sweet smile.  “I know how much you care about your family.” 

“I don’t like seeing people I care about hurting,” he said quietly, wishing he had the right words to make her understand.  If he could, she might forgive him for leaving her all those years back.  

Suddenly, he wanted that forgiveness almost as much as he wanted her.  Need hit him, hard and fast, as she leaned closer to brush her lips over his cheek.  She might have meant the gesture to be sweet, he didn’t know. But the way her breasts pressed against his arm made it purely sexy.  

“I want you,” he admitted out of the blue, his eyes locked on hers.  

He waited for her to laugh in his face.  To sneer or deride his desire.  He’d deserve it.  

Instead, she wet her lips and gave him a long, bone-melting look that sent a shaft of heat spiraling through his body.  Then she smiled.  A wicked quirk of her lips that warned that things were going to get a whole lot hotter.  

“Then take me.”

Release Day!

Excerpt

“I’m nervous.” The tightness in his tone backed up the muscles bunching near the hinge in his jaw. And the simple, honest admission did something to her that no amount of flirtatious back-and-forth ever would.

“So am I.” She began buttering the dish. “Who taught you how to cook?”

He stirred the chocolate in the double boiler, hands clenching the spoon. “Mama used to say that a man needed to know three things: how to fix a dessert, iron his own shirt and sew a button. That some day future women would thank her.”

        “Smart lady.” Tuesday laughed, grateful for a moment to recalibrate, to slow her racing heart. “I suck at ironing by the way.”

        Beau gave her a resolute stare. “I make my own starch.”

        “Stop.” She nearly dropped the dishtowel. “No, you don’t.”

        “One tablespoon of cornstarch in two cups of water.”

        Her gaze fixed on the rare smile tugging the corner of his mouth. The revelation was oddly endearing. “I’m not sure whether to be impressed or terrified.”

        “Your mama didn’t teach you these things?”

        Tuesday thought. “We grew up in small town Maine.”

        “Sounds cold.”

        “So, so cold. So much snow. So much cold. Beautiful though.”

        “I’d like to check it out, in summer.”

        “Yeah, good idea. My dad ran a maple sugarbush farm, made homemade maple syrup. Mom was his opposite. He loved being outdoors. She liked being inside. I guess they were opposites,  must have attracted at some point but over time they repelled each other. Pushed one another further and further away. She left when I was in high school. Moved down to New Hampshire where she was from and met a banker. They live in the suburbs. She has a housekeeper now.”

        “She abandoned your family?”

        “I. . .you know, I don’t know. My sister thinks so. I was the baby. My mom used to love to style my hair. She could do so many intricate braids. We didn’t have much money but she’d shop at thrift stores and garage sales and find me cute dresses. Sometimes I’d find her sad and I’d try to cheer her up. I’d ask her to brush my hair and she would,  even though sometimes I could hear her sniffling and I knew if I turned around I’d see her crying.”

        Tears sprang to her eyes and she ground her fists into them. “Wow. Hello! Where'd these come from.” God, way to keep things light. Her inconvenient emotions would probably sink the night.

        “I’m sorry that happened.”

        “Me too.” She took a breath. Then another.

“Can we return to the regularly scheduled programming? Chocolate is always the cure.”

        Beau looked like he might press forward but changed his mind at the last moment. “My mama taught me how to separate yolks from whites. Can I show you?”

        “I won’t pretend that I have skills. Instruct away.”

        “Okay, pick an egg, any egg.”

        She selected a brown one and he stepped behind her, her back heating against his  chest. His arms slid over hers. “Now what you do is give it a tap to open the shell. No! Not so big, just a little one.” His hand engulfed hers, guiding the movement. “Good. That’s real good. Now let the yolk settle in one side. That’s it. Now you start to transfer the egg back and forth and back and forth, let the white run out like that until voila! All you have left is the yolk.”

        Tuesday gawked at the golden yolk in the shell. “Martha Stewart eat your heart out.”

        He checked the chocolate and milk, it had melted down into a decadent pool.

        “Can we eat that as is? I’m sure the souffle is amazing and all but hey, a bowl of melted warm chocolate is going to do me fine.”

        His laugh was just as decadently rich. “Haven’t you ever heard that good things come to those who wait?”

        “Sure, by people waiting,” she quipped. “They need something to tell themselves.”

        That really got him going, his deep laugh rich as sun-warmed molasses. “Let me make you a deal.”

        “I’m not agreeing until I hear the terms.”

        “Smart woman. When you have this dessert, you are going to say it’s better than the best sex you’ve ever had.”

        She set her hands on her hips. “You have a low opinion of my sex life.”

        “Nah.” He winked. “Just a very high opinion on my soufflé.”

        She arched a brow. “You’re on.”  

        Standing behind her he continued to help guide her effortlessly through measurements and pouring, mixing and stirring. He didn’t grind on her or get perverted, not that she’d have minded. Chocolate was meant to be an aphrodisiac and she’d never experienced anything so sexily mundane as chatting over nothings in the kitchen with a man who didn’t try to cop a feel. He appreciated and and even savored her for who she was and what she offered which right now was fully dressed fairly polite company.

        In fifteen minutes he opened the oven and slid the soufflé in.

“And now?”

        “We wait,” he answered. “Until it’s puffed on top and jiggly in the center.”

        “You have a way of making cooking sexy.”

        “Do I? I guess that helps even the field.”

        “How so?”

        “You make breathing look sexy.” His gaze lingered on hers for a few beats before he turned and began to wash the dishes. 

She stared at the back of his head, his broad shoulders, his narrow hips, blinking in surprise. He seemed wholly unaware that he’d broken her heart and put it back together, refashioned into something new, stronger and brighter.

Release Day ~ Girl Crush by Steptoe Walls

Today is the day!  Stephen Walls' Girl Crush is here!

Cover Design: Wicked by Design

Release Date: September 21, 2017

Synopsis

 I was done.

Done with men.

Women say it all the time; they get fed up, throw their hands in the air, and vow a life of celibacy—until the next chiseled chest comes into view and then they’re foaming at the mouth and wiping the drool from their chins. But this was different, I really meant it.

I’d been manhandled by the last pig that would ever bring his sausage near me. After one of the nastiest divorces in history, followed by some of the crudest and raunchiest dates, I’d decided to bat for the other team.

…At least I tried.

But creating the next Brat Pack hadn’t been on the agenda. Neither had Collier West. And I wasn’t prepared for finding true love at the end of my gal-pal tryst.

Ruby Scott is months behind on rent and can’t seem to land a steady job. She has one chance to turn things around with a big audition. But instead of getting her big break, she gets sick as a dog and completely bombs it in the most humiliating fashion. All thanks to a mysterious, gorgeous guy who kissed—and then coughed on—her at a party the night before.
Luckily, her best friend might have found the perfect opportunity; a job staying at the lavish penthouse apartment of hotel magnate Bancroft Mills while he’s out of town, taking care of his exotic pets. But when the newly-evicted Ruby arrives to meet her new employer, it turns out Bane is the same guy who got her sick.
Seeing his role in Ruby’s dilemma, Bane offers her a permanent job as his live-in pet sitter until she can get back on her feet. Filled with hilariously awkward encounters and enough sexual tension to heat a New York City block, Shacking Up, from NYT and USA Today bestselling author Helena Hunting, is sure to keep you laughing and swooning all night long.

Review

Booker melted my heart. He had a lot of hurt in his young life, including his mom dying when he was young, but I think the hurt he suffered when Poppy left was even worse. Poppy was his best friend and the only person who saw him for him. When she moved he was lost and became someone he didn't even recognize. Six years later, Poppy is moving back to their hometown and is going to have to commute to get to work. He insists that she live with him, for safety purposes. She agrees and they both believe they can just keep it friends.

Poopy left because she saw something she never thought she would and her heart was broken. She was keeping a secret from Booker and was going to fess up, but left town instead. When she comes back to town, she is grateful, but wants to keep it at the friend level to protect herself. When they have a couple of missteps, they both start avoiding the other, but hate that their relationship is strained.
Can Booker open his heart and realize that letting someone in doesn't mean that they will leave? Will he ever accept that he has feelings for Poppy, beyond friendship? Well Poopy ever tell Booker what she saw? Will she tell him the secret she had been keeping for years? When he pushes her away after she admits two truths to him, will she be able to forgive and move on?
There were a few times I wanted to strangle both Poppy and Booker throughout this book, but I was rooting for them the whole time.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest, voluntary review.

Look at this beautiful, yummy cover.

Synopsis

 "I may have had more lovers than you, and I may take my clothes off for countless women, but you are the only one who can strip me bare."

Do you ever stop loving someone just because they’re gone?

Five years ago, Ryan Pierce disappeared from Alana Remington’s life without a trace. He was the one she gave her heart to, her soul to — and her virginity to. So, imagine her surprise when she finds him dancing at one of NYC’s hottest male revues as ‘Jack the Stripper.’

Ryan never stopped loving Alana, and now that she has serendipitously dropped back into his life, he’s vowed never to lose her again. But being together has its costs, and challenges Alana isn’t sure she can handle. She finally has Ryan back. But how in the world is she supposed to share the love of her life with half of the women in New York City?

Strip Me Bare is a second chance, standalone romance. It contains angst, heat, humor, heartbreak, and one seductive male stripper who will not only have you handing over your panties, but also your heart. You’ve been warned.
