I was born to a crown I don’t want. 

My name is Crown Prince Stellan Augustus Love IV. I’m big, brawny, and brainy. More importantly, I know that duty and honor come before what I want... but it’s so hard to be perfect. 

When I meet pretty, pink haired, punk-rock Margot, I make myself a deal. I can have her… but only for one earth shattering night. 

Proud, rebellious, a perfect body made for sin. Margot is my weakness; it’s too bad that she’s also a journalist. I know that if she even deigns to look my way, I am done for. So I take her to bed for just one unforgettable night… 

When she shows up again in Copenhagen, she is tasked with doing a story about me and the future of the royal line. And I’m saddled with my nightmare... I can look at Margot all I want… but never ever touch her. 

Every time our hands brush, every single lustful glance, every damn time she bites her lip… Eventually, even my strong will can’t overcome temptation. Even though it’s wrong, even though my life is already all plotted out. 

It’s inevitable. The only question is, once I give in and take what I need… will just having Margot just one more time be enough?

Excerpt


“I don’t like this.”

A hand went to the back of my chair, a head popped up between our two front seats, and that was announced. Mason was in the driver’s seat and I was in the passenger seat. Logan looked at each of us. He was wearing a distinct frown-smirk combo on his face as he said his piece.

Problem was, he’d been saying it since we left Boston, since we landed in California, and since we’d been in the rental and driving three hours past Fallen Crest.

It’d been said. It’d been heard.

We were now at the part where we wanted to murder my brother-in-law. Or, correction, where I wanted to murder my brother-in-law. Mason was stoic and driving. He was able to get in the zone and tune Logan out. Taylor was sitting in her chair, reading on her phone. She had the whole tuning-out thing too.

Not me. I was a mom, so somehow that meant I always had to be aware and alert, and now I was close to grinding my teeth and yelling for a Logan time-out.

Five minutes in the back, please.

Mason grunted. “Tough shit.”

Nice. Maybe he wasn’t so ‘tuned out.’

I looked at Taylor. “Can you keep him under control?”

She glanced up from her phone. “You know the answer to that question. You’ve known him longer.”

Touché.

I’m not sleeping with him.”

Taylor just laughed. “Shouldn’t have said that. He’s probably refraining from twenty different inappropriate jokes as I’m talking.”

Ahem.” Logan gave us both a look. “It’s because I love both of you—in different ways—and respect both of you that I’m not touching that. But Sam…” Logan leveled me with an aggrieved look, his eyebrows raised. “Can you watch what you say? Old Logan would’ve been all over that one, and can you imagine the innuendos?” He gestured to himself, his face tight. “But I’m here. Being polite—”

“Sorry. I thought since you’re older and in law school, you’d be more mature.”

“It’s like you don’t know me at all.” But he was grinning.

“Logan.” Insert some assertive tone here. I had to make my point. “We got a babysitter for the weekend. I got permission for a full weekend off from my training. Your brother is on a much-needed vacation before football training starts, and I have been needing Heather time even though I saw her a few weeks ago.”

I had a point. What was it? “So shut it, okay?”

That was my point.

“All I’m saying is that we were supposed to do the yacht. Nate and Matteo were up for it. Now suddenly we’re doing a camping thing. I’m not clear on the why?”

Mason glanced into the rearview mirror. “It was Nate’s idea. He said something about family research. What’s your issue? You like camping.”

“That’s when we were young. We did stupid shit back then like. We’re old now. If we go camping, I prefer it to be on things like yachts. Or we stay in a mega-mansion and our camping is napping by the pool. I like that type of camping.”

Taylor frowned at him. “Babe.”

He shot her a look, frowning slightly, but his face softened. He reached out, touching her leg. “It’s nothing. I’ll get over it.”

Good.

That was settled.

Two minutes later, it wasn’t.

Release Blitz & Review: Looking to Score by CoraLee June and Carrie Gray


🔥🔥 HOT NEW RELEASE ðŸ”¥ðŸ”¥

Looking to Score by CoraLee June and Carrie Gray is LIVE and FREE with KU!

Looking to Score is like the book equivalent of comfort food- goes down easy and leaves you feeling full and content. This book is funny, charming, heart-warming, insanely clever, and JUST what we need. I simply LOVED it and could not put it down.” ~The Romantic Rush Blog


He’s like literally the worst.
Oakley Davis is the star running back at our University, and the reason I’ve broken my vow to avoid the college party scene. Thanks to a mixup with my advisor, I’m now serving my Public Relations internship as a glorified babysitter to the party-hard football players.
Specifically, Oakley.
He’s impossible to manage. His Instagram is full of half-naked, drunk photos and he’d rather attend parties than practice. His brand needs some serious work, and when he’s not driving me insane, he’s sleeping his way through the entire female population.
But I’m determined. I have plans to graduate a semester early and nothing or no one will get in my way. I’m a Virgo, after all. Oakley Davis might be a privileged, cocky, football star, but I’m Amanda Matthews; and I’ll do whatever it takes to get my A.
I have to make sure I don’t end up falling in love with the idiot, first.

Disclaimer: I received an Advance Reader Copy at no cost from the publisher/author. All opinions in my review are my own. 

This was such a marvelous book! This was such a heartwarming story about learning from past mistakes and overcoming them. I completely devoured this book. 

I really loved the writing voice in this book. These two authors really make a great team. The narration was smooth, inviting, and humorous. I loved every moment. I was totally enthralled with the plot of the story. This is an enemies-to-lovers type story that didn't disappoint. I loved all the plot points and the overall flow of the story.

These characters totally captivated me. I was head over heels for them from the very start. I loved the personalities of the main characters. They were distinct and charming. Both main characters had depth and fantastic character growth. I also really adored the secondary characters. Amanda's parents were such a delight. Her mom had me in stitches. 

The romance was so organic and meaningful. I loved the natural progression of Oakley and Amanda's relationship. They gradually gain an appreciation for one another while they are spending so much time together. They even share things with each other that they don't talk about with other people. They are very open with each other. The chemistry that they shared, even in the beginning, was electric. They had incredible banter and such a connection with each other. And when things heat up between these two it is truly hot. 

Overall, this was such a humorous, witty, sweet, and steamy read. It clicked off all the boxes on the list of things that I adore in a New Adult book. This was such an outstanding collaboration and I am so excited for more from these authors!

REVIEW


Disclaimer: I received an Advance Reader Copy at no cost from the publisher/author. All opinions in my review are my own. 

OH. MY. GOD. This book completely tipped me off my axis. I am so smitten with this book right now, ya'll. I am 100% here for this and you should be too.

It's no wonder why this author's books are so amazing because her storytelling is unparalleled. I first read The Good Girl's Guide to Being Bad by this author and I remember fondly that I fell totally in love with the storytelling from the get-go. Her writing voice is brilliant and she has a unique way of touching readers through the story. The narration is smooth but never dull. The connection that she makes with the reader through her words is impressive. 

These characters...what can I say? They were glorious. And I am not only talking about the main characters, Honor and Archer. The entire cast of characters is amazing. I was so drawn into this story because of this stellar cast of characters. I am truly waiting with bated breath for more books in this series to release. These characters left such an impression on me. I loved the incredible representation of both family and friendship in this story. It warmed my heart so much. As for the main characters, both Honor and Archer were well-developed characters and they both had such immense growth in the story. I felt very connected to them. I also felt that they were portrayed very realistically which only made the story seem more authentic. 

The romance of this story really had my heart thumping in my chest. From the embarrassing and hilarious meet-cute to the very end of the book, this couple had me invested in their love story. Honor and Archer had immediate and electric chemistry. What's more, is that they had a wonderful friendship. I was rooting for this couple from the first scene. 

I really loved the plot of this story and I think that the author did a fine job of setting everything up in the story. The premise is totally riveting - a case of mistaken identity in the most humorous meet-cute leading to true love. The entire story was magical. I read this book in a single sitting because I legit couldn't put the book down. 

Overall, this is another home run story from Cookie O'Gorman! I am so in love with her writing and it can only get better from here. If you liked her YA books then this NA story will blow you away. This book is a new favorite for me! I can't wait for the next book!



EXCERPT

A sudden feeling drew my attention to the other side of the room. I couldn’t really explain it. It was hot like electricity, something magnetic. My eyes searched for the source of that strange pull—and clashed with gray.
My breath caught.
It was like looking into the heart of a storm, intense, powerful. I hadn’t gone up in flames for any of the others, but this guy… Well, this O’Brien who was staring at me—devouring me—with those unusual gray eyes, wearing a frown like he never smiled, a stare so focused I thought he might be memorizing every move I made? Or reading my mind?
“Wow,” I said, voice nothing but a shaky exhale.
This guy caused a slow burn inside me. I wanted to run. Either to him or away, I wasn’t sure. But as his eyes traveled the length of my body, all the way down to my shoes, and back up again to meet my gaze, everything inside me turned to wildfire. I licked my lips, thighs clenching together instinctively.
His frown deepened, jaw tight.
And that made him seem even sexier.

TTL - RB banner

“Epic enemies to lovers with a sweet, emotional kick. I was rooting for them from page one and have been left completely satisfied at the end. A top 2020 read for me!”- Harloe Rae, USA Today bestselling author 

Through the Lens, an all-new angst-filled new-adult standalone from USA Today bestselling author K.K. Allen is available now!

ThroughTheLens_Amazon

“I had become his muse. What he didn’t know was that he had become mine too.”
Maggie Stevens is done feeling objectified.
After spending her entire life in the spotlight and climbing the high fashion ranks as a model in LA, she’s willing to leave it all behind for a fresh start. Moving to Seattle seems like the perfect solution.
A clean slate.
New adventures.
Endless opportunities.
All is going according to plan. Until she meets the drop-dead gorgeous cooking instructor who delights in adding to her misery.
Desmond Blake is determined to make a name for his culinary school—one that speaks to his hard work and undeniable passion.
When his food photography hobby garners attention from an unexpected source, his dreams are finally within reach. The obstacle he never sees coming is the sharp-tongued bombshell with a distaste for all he stands for.
When Desmond accidentally captures a photo of Maggie during a moment of weakness, he starts to see there’s more to the fashionista than meets the eye…
Sometimes what can be seen through the lens is a skewed version of reality. A bent perspective. Manufactured, therefore losing all sense of authenticity. And sometimes all it takes is a different angle to see what’s right in front of you.
