Blurb:
It was such a shame that she was in the wrong place, at the wrong time.

She knew that we would come for her.

We had seen her delicate face that night, hidden in the shadows, and she had seen what we did, her gasp of horror giving her away.

She was perfection, beauty, and oozed goodness but that wasn’t going to save her from us.

No one could ever find out our secret, which meant we needed to get rid of her.

But killing her wasn’t an option and scaring her into silence wasn’t as easy of a feat as we expected. She was strong, resilient , and smart doing whatever she could to evade us.

Thus without even knowing it she turned it into a game, and so we became blood thirty wolves.

Run and we’ll find you. Keep our secret and you might live.

That is until someone else finds out what we did…

**This is a standalone DARK bully romance. This book contains scenes that may be triggering to some readers. This is not a YA romance novel and should be read by those only 18+ or older. **

EXCERPT

“Let her go, you’re hurting her…” Cam orders from the front seat. The softness of his voice slices right through me. They’re like night and day, good and bad, but I’m not fooled by it, their end goal is still the same. Keep me silent at all costs.

With a snarl he releases me and directs his attention to Cam. I sag against the seat, sucking air into my lungs. I’ve never felt so much anger being directed at me in my life.

“She’s your responsibility now. I don’t want to fucking deal with her anymore.”

For some reason what he says hits me right in the heart. It almost feels like he’s breaking up with me, which is ridiculous since we were never together in the first place. I don’t even know what we are. I’m just a piece of meat to them, hanging from the top of the cage.

Eventually they’ll jump high enough to reach me, and rip me to shreds.

It doesn’t matter that they offered to care for Grams and I. They aren’t doing it because they care. They’re doing it so they can fuck me and I might be naive, but I’m not stupid enough to believe that they care one more ounce about me outside that.

“Bromberg is a master at turning up the heat.”

–Katy Evans, New York Times bestselling author

Then You Happened, an all-new standalone contemporary romance about trusting fate and finding yourself again from New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg, is coming February 3rd and we have the gorgeous cover!

Jack Sutton was the man I didn’t want to need.

His know-it-all attitude. His annoying suggestions. His outlook on life.

He was determined to help me while I had resolved to figure it out on my own.

But he taught me things I’d forgotten.

How to trust. How to believe in myself. Who I was.

The problem?

I went and fell in love with him.

—

Tatum Knox was the disaster I should have walked away from.

Her ruined reputation. Her failing business. Her chaotic life.

She hated me at first sight and yet intrigued me all at the same time.

I was only supposed to be there six months.

I was supposed to use that time to make amends for things I’d done wrong.

Instead I fell in love with her.

—

They say it’s better to have loved and lost, then not to have loved at all. Does that hold true when the love is based on a lie to begin with?

(THEN YOU HAPPENED is a STANDALONE enemies to lovers, small town romance. Full-length at one hundred and seven thousand words)

About K. Bromberg

New York Times Bestselling author K. Bromberg writes contemporary novels that contain a mixture of sweet, emotional, a whole lot of sexy, and a little bit of real. She likes to write strong heroines, and damaged heroes who we love to hate and hate to love.

A mom of three, she plots her novels in between school runs and soccer practices, more often than not with her laptop in tow.

Since publishing her first book in 2013, Kristy has sold over one million copies of her books across sixteen different countries and has landed on the New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists over twenty-five times. Her Driven trilogy (Driven, Fueled, and Crashed) is currently being adapted for film by Passionflix with the first movie slated to release in the summer of 2018.

She is currently working on her Everyday Heroes trilogy. This series consists of three complete standalone novels—Cuffed, Combust, and Cockpit (late spring 2018)—and is about three brothers who are emergency responders, the jobs that call to them, and the women who challenge them.

BLURB:

It was a three-week fling. Nothing more than a couple of college kids having some fun, but then I did the stupid thing and fell for Jude Taylor quicker than he can score a goal on the ice. And after one beautiful night together, he left for the pros before I could make my first cup of coffee.

I thought I’d put him behind me. I thought I’d moved on. But then he hobbles into my physical therapy office and I realize how absolutely wrong I’ve been—there’s no getting over Jude Taylor. 

And now things are complicated. Jude lives half a country away, his career is in direct opposition for my need for stability, and most of all, getting involved with him could mean losing my job and everything I’ve worked so hard for.

Jude doesn’t seem to mind one bit and he’s all in. He might be a patient in my office, but he’s no longer the patient guy I remember.

This time, he’s playing to win, and the prize he’s looking to score is me.

🔥🔥 NEW RELEASE 🔥🔥

Exposed by Willow Aster is LIVE!!! FREE in KU!

“A royal story set in background of conspiracies, manipulations and deceptions, Exposed is a whirlpool of intense emotions. The characters are beautifully broken. Their feelings are raw, gritty and incredibly terrifying. The story sucked me in and left its permanent mark on my heart.” ~PP’s Bookshelf

It was never a question of love.

I knew I loved Elias Lancaster and that he loved me.

At least I always thought he did.

But for some reason, he always found an excuse not to be with me.

The pain I felt as my childhood love rejected me, again and again, after promising me the world when we were kids…

Well, it just wouldn’t go away.

No matter how hard I tried.

Desperate times called for desperate measures, and I never wanted to be considered desperate, but I knew if something didn’t change soon, I’d lose Elias for good and die of a broken heart.

No one told me how many times my heart could break in the process.

I lean in closer. “Be careful, your mask is slipping. You almost seem like the girl I grew up with right now.” I both love and hate seeing the real her. It’s driven me out of my mind that for years now, Mara has put on a mask around everyone but me. “Wouldn’t want anyone to get the wrong idea and see that you’re actually a caring person.” I lower my voice. “I have nothing to say to you.”

The hurt flashes across her eyes but is gone within a blink. In my mind, I see her when she was ten, when she thought I was ignoring her for a week because my mother wouldn’t let me go play with the princess. She locked me in my room when I snuck out, not letting me out for so long I thought I’d die in that bedroom. Those were the dark days with my mother, the days I still try to stuff down inside. I’d give anything if I could erase them from my memory. The hurt on Mara’s face back then when I was able to go outside again but didn’t tell her where I’d been or what had happened…it’s the same look I saw just now.

It’s these snapshots of us in my mind that make me turn back to her, make me think maybe there is a way…maybe we could have a chance.

Synopsis

He was my uncle’s friend, and I was too young for him.

But in the heat of the moment, against the wall in a darkened hallway of an illicit club, none of those things mattered. It was just one night of giving in to what we both wanted.

I never expected to see him two years later, sitting across me during a family dinner, encouraging me to do my internship for his business.

On day one we both agree that repeating that night would be a mistake. But it’s a mistake we can’t help but make again and again.

The rules are simple. We can’t tell my uncle. We have to be content with our hotel rendezvous. And we won’t fall in love.

But we both know we’re liars.

Just Friends by Charity Ferrell is #ComingFebruary6th! Pre-order now for just $2.99!

BOOK BLURB

Someone should have warned me about falling in love with my best friend.

Carolina

Little did I know when Rex came to my locker attempting to bribe me, that he’d turn into my everything.

We’d become best friends. I’d steal his heart. He’d steal mine.

Nothing has changed in the years of our friendship.

Not our connection, not our feelings, or that we still hold each other’s hearts.

But his heart isn’t the only thing I’ve kept.

The secret I’m hiding could shatter the only man I’ve ever loved.

Rex

I’ve loved Carolina since the day she called my bluff.

Our friendship always came first.

She believed in me when no one else did.

I tucked away my feelings because I couldn’t survive a life without her.

We crossed the line once, and I swore it’d never happen again.

As time passes, the harder it becomes to live up to that promise.

Until finally, there’s no holding back.

EXCERPT

“Grab your planner, sweetheart. Pencil me in to pick you up three Saturdays from now. Seven o’clock.”

“Okay,” she drags out. “What’s up with the preplanning?”

“Prom night. Let me know the color of your dress, so we can do all that matchy-matchy bullshit.”

“Excuse me?” She scowls in my direction. “You can’t just tell me I’m going to prom with you.” She throws her arms up, her voice turning all dramatic, like the boring romance movies she forces me to watch. “You didn’t even ask!”

“No need for me to ask. You’re going to prom with me.”

“What if I don’t want to go with you? You didn’t even give me a promposal!”

“Tough shit. You won’t find a better date. Not to mention, I’m the only guy in this school who won’t try to weasel his inexperienced dick into your virginal panties.” He raises his brows. “If you want a promposal, I’ll get one of those banners that fly in the sky or some shit.”

“You’re so romantic.” She crosses her arms, pouting her glossy pink lips. “Have you ever thought that I don’t want my panties to stay virginal? Maybe I want to change that on prom night.”

“Maybe you’ve lost your goddamn mind.” I clear my throat, and my voice grows deeper. “You’re my date. Your panties will remain untouched.” I jerk my thumb toward her planner in the backseat. “Put it in there, circle it with a red marker, and don’t forget.”

She huffs. “What about Leanne, the girl you’ve already asked to prom?”

Shit. I fucking forgot about Leanne. “She can either be your sister-date or kick rocks.”

“I am not having a sister-date,” she shrieks.

“Looks like she’ll be kicking rocks then. I’ll bribe her to go with someone else.”

Murphy is available.

“I can’t believe I speak to you.”

“You. Me. Prom.” I lean over and kiss her cheek before turning on the car. “My mom is making tacos tonight. You coming over for dinner?”

“Ugh, fine, but I’m only coming for her and the tacos.”

Overall Grade: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Elias, she was wrong. It doesn’t matter what we’re born into, how wealthy one of us is, or how smart, or strong…we’re the same. Our hearts are the same.”

There is this idea that we should only get what we deserve. That there is some random assignment of pleasure or privilege afforded those with the most promising traits. In the end, this is simply that…random. In Willow Aster’s second book from the Kingdoms of Sin series, Exposed, this seems to be the prevailing ideology. 

We meet Elias and Mara in the first book of the series, Downfall, the story of Mara’s brother, Luka, and his journey of love. In Downfall, Mara is horrible to the heroine, Eden, and readers like me assumed it could be difficult to accept a story about a character who is vain, shallow, and mean-spirited. Yet, Aster, through her astute storytelling, helps us empathize with Mara in Exposed. We find out quickly that Mara’s behavior is a consequence of conditioning and emotional/mental abuse. It becomes clear quickly that Mara simply wants to be seen, cherished, and loved for herself. She finds this with her friend, Elias, and her brother, Luka, in her youth and teenhood. However, complications in her present separate her from Elias and set her up as an enemy towards her brother. All of this occurs because she simply doesn’t have all of the parts of the story. Aster also shows us through Elias that choices from their past have separated them, even though it’s clear from the first page that Elias and Mara are destined for each other. Exposed is a journey of a 1000 deaths as Elias and Mara struggle against each other. While these two seem fated from the start of this book, they spend much of the book apart because one cannot accept that he can have what he wants and the other believes she isn’t worthy of him. 

To begin, you should know that I loved Downfall, the first book in Aster’s series. Yes, there were times when I wanted to reach into the book and strangle Luka for his torturous ways with Eden. Yet, Aster uses his bullish ways to illustrate his internal struggle against his familial responsibilities. In the end, he redeems himself with Eden, and that story finds a most beautiful happy ending. To say that I was excited about Exposed would be an understatement. I’m a fan of authors taking the most unlikeable character of a story and enlisting me to fall for them. In Downfall, Mara is tied for this role with her parents, so going into Exposed, I was ready to be challenged and encouraged to accept Mara. 

And to a certain extent, I did. It’s smart that Aster allows us to see Mara’s past. In fact, it’s necessary as it helps us empathize with her. Mara has borne great abuse on herself, and it has transformed her into a spiteful woman who views herself as only something to be possessed. She doesn’t recognize her talents and abilities for most of the story. What can be frustrating about Exposed is Mara’s continual self-sabotage. She’s the queen of it in this book, and it grates on your soul because she makes choices time and time again that leave her dejected and broken. This is more than Luka’s bullish ways in Downfall. There were many times when I found myself yelling at the book, yelling at Mara, to stop. Some might find this frustrating, but I believe this is Aster’s capability to pull us into her world. When authors provoke us to feel deeply for their characters and respond vehemently to them, I think they’ve done their job. Aster achieves this distinctly in Exposed through Mara’s characterization. 

Similarly, Elias produces the same results. He’s stubborn and obtuse in his characterization. Honestly, it takes much of Aster’s book for Elias to finally understand his relationship with Mara. Every other character in the story recognizes his connection to Mara except Elias. Just like Mara, this is biting. For all of his intelligence and power as the king’s advisor, he too self-sabotages and remains dense for much of Exposed. 

There is a big pay-off with this book, though. Aster plays on your emotions for much of Exposed, making us feel that journey of a 1000 deaths as Elias and Mara struggle with their connection. When they finally earn their happy ending, it’s blissful and well-deserved for her readers. But know, that you must traverse the pitfalls of their inane choices to get there. Reading Exposed is like walking through an emotional minefield. Once you begin, you cannot stop until its end as you can only gain respite from the tension of potentially stepping on bombs of emotion at its borders. Yet, the journey feels fulfilling, insightful, and worth the time you spent negotiating the challenges of it. In the end, Elias and Mara teach us that we are worthy, that we can be more than our pasts, and that love will always reign when we fully accept it.

“Mara has always been a part of me. I won’t ever be able to let her go.”

In love and romance,

Professor A

Reckless Memories, an all-new friends to lovers standalone romance from Catherine Cowles is releasing May 12th, and we have the stunning cover!

I loved him before I knew what the word meant.
From skinned knees to first dates and everything in between.
But he was never mine to love.
I settled for friendship, even though I always wanted more.

That was before.
Before he ripped my world apart and didn’t bother sticking around to help me pick up the pieces.
I knit every last shred back together all on my own.
And I’ve all but forgotten his name.

Now, he’s back, and everything is torn apart once more.
But he’s not the only one doing the tearing this time.
And there might be no stopping the person who has it out for us both.

His boldly spoken vow was the cruelest of cages.

He gave me his name and destroyed my soul.

He is mine.

The boy I once loved is now a man.

The man I once loved is now gone.

We are us.

I have been called many things.

Victim. Survivor. Daughter. Sister. Wife.

Now I am called something else.

Murderer.

Believe it or not, this is our love story.

Excerpt

“Close your eyes.”

I slant a curious look at Gavin, taking in his kiss-swollen lips and flushed skin, his untamable mop of hair and the blaze of excitement lighting up the blue of his corneas.

Gavin squeezes my hand reassuringly as I do what he’s asked, then slowly walks me the remaining few steps toward our cave. Without vision, my other senses are heightened. The cry of birds sounds closer, like they are perched just overhead instead of on branches thirty or forty feet above. The bite of the breeze on my skin is sharper, each gust sending a chill racing along already sensitive nerve endings. The smell of ripe earth and rich evergreen and the clean, bracing scent of Gavin himself is downright intoxicating, my head swimming as I pull breaths deep into my lungs.

Most of all, the moonstone pendant laying against my collarbone is making my chest tingle, my heart fluttering against my ribcage.

“Okay, open them.”

I do, immediately gasping in surprise at what Gavin’s done to our little cave. There are candles burning and scattered rose petals—no, poppy petals—and a basket filled with drinks and snacks. A pile of blankets and pillows.

“You did all this for me?” I ask, my voice sounding whispery and weird.

I feel whispery and weird.

I’ve never had a birthday like this. I’ve never even imagined a birthday like this. First the necklace and now, seeing the lengths Gavin has gone for me…

Beneath the surface of my skin, I’m a chaotic mess of emotions. I don’t know what to say, how to act. This is unchartered territory for me.

“Of course,” he says, as if it’s nothing. But it’s not nothing. It’s everything.

Before I dissolve into a teary puddle, Gavin reaches into his pocket and pulls out a deck of cards. “You taught me how to play gin rummy—how about I teach you to play poker?”

A strangled laugh leaves my throat. “I think that’s fair.”

We sit down and Gavin spends a few minutes going over the basics of the game before dealing out the cards. It’s not as easy as gin rummy, but I get the hang of it after a few rounds.

And when Gavin lifts a mischievous brow and asks, “Want to make things interesting?” I know exactly what he’s doing. Not just poker. Strip poker.

And that’s when I realize just how much planning went into tonight. Beyond buying me an expensive present. Beyond pimping out our cave. Gavin found a way to make my first time—our first time—a mix of old and new. An experience evoking our past and celebrating our future.

I’ve imagined the night Gavin and I would finally go all the way a million times. But I’d only focused on the physical aspects. Would it hurt? Will there be blood? What if I do it wrong?

It never crossed my mind that he would take such care with… everything.

But, of course, it should have.

Gavin Cross is one of a kind.

And he’s mine.

Blurb:
“Will you do me the greatest honor of all time and be my bridegroom?” she asks, hope in her eyes . . .

How did I get here? My assistant, bent on one knee, holding my hand, her expectant face waiting for an answer.

Just . . . how?

How did I go from being insulted by Charlee Cox to hiring her to be my assistant? How is it that she’s chaos in color – making me crazy and my life better at the same time?

I never thought I would be staring down at her bright blue eyes begging me to go along with this ridiculous scheme I suggested.

Yes, I suggested. Like the idiot I am, I thought hey, why not start an HR nightmare and have my assistant ask me to marry her?

Confused? Don’t worry, so am I.

But try to follow along, because this is how I became Boss Man Bridegroom.
