PROMISE ME THIS

Karla Sorensen

Release Date: May 9

WILL BE AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

Imagine this: an author with a raging case of writer’s block finds an unexpected source of inspiration in her grumpy, gorgeous new roommate. Sounds amazing, right? Except that new roommate is my childhood best friend. And Ian Wilder has been off-limits since I was five.

It’s been over a decade since I’ve seen him, but when I return to my hometown after years away, Ian’s exactly the man I remembered. The same guy who gave me his coat on a playground when we were kids and promised he’d take care of me forever. I need a quiet place to work with this deadline looming. I need a place where my daughter can unwind. Enter Ian with an offer I can’t refuse: his spare bedroom.

It’s an easy yes. Except now the problem is I can’t stop thinking about him, and these thoughts? They’re wandering out of the friend zone. I keep imagining very creative ways to rip off his clothes. And Ian starts giving me looks of his own, the kind that make my heart race.

One night, we cross a line we can’t uncross. The lines have blurred, and our friendship is hanging by a thread.

Imagine this: a woman falling for her best friend. And she has no idea if he feels the same.

Joshua Barnes-Fleetwood is the prince of Willow Fork, Texas, but not all is right with his world. He’s the heir to a multimillion-dollar company, has a family he adores, and his best friend at his side. He can’t figure out what is missing until Nicole takes a job at Christa’s Café. The pretty waitress is a mystery he needs to solve. He’s never been so attracted to a woman, and after one night in her company, he’s sure she can handle his needs. Unfortunately, he’s also sure she’s lying to him. 

Jared “Grim” Burch found a home with the Barnes-Fleetwood family when he desperately needed one. With support from his newfound family, Grim beat all the odds and became a veterinarian.

About BRIDESMAID FOR HIRE:

Sometimes the wedding of the century calls for desperate measures.

And sometimes those desperate measures are to pretend the person you hate most is actually your boyfriend.

After years of working her tail off at her event-planning business, Maggie Mitchell is ready for a vacation. With nothing on her mind but R & R, she’s enjoying the warm weather of Bora Bora when in saunters Brody McFadden, her brother’s best friend and also her sworn enemy. Thanks to years of tension between the two―kicked off by a make-out session at her brother’s wedding that ended horribly―Maggie has sworn to stay away from the man. That is, until she finds out he’s in Bora Bora for his boss’s daughter’s wedding, hoping to use the trip to win a real future at the company.

Maggie promised herself she wouldn’t even think of work on the island, but as word spreads about the “wedding of the century” taking place in the midst of her vacation, she realizes offering her services as a bridesmaid and planner could bring her business to the next level. The only catch? She needs to pose as Brody’s girlfriend to get the job…while letting him stay in her peaceful bungalow.

Tensions rise, irritation flairs, and despite years’ worth of bickering behind closed doors, Maggie can’t quite squash the sparks building between her and her new fake boyfriend, especially when she learns the real reason their first kiss was cut short. But as the wedding day draws closer and everything starts to go wrong, it just might be Brody who sends Maggie’s business crashing down―and her heart along with it.

“What the heck was that back there?”

She crosses her arms over her ample chest. “That was me helping you out.”

“That’s what you consider helping me out?” I ask. “You just made yourself my girlfriend in front of my boss.”

“I’m aware.”

I stare at her. “Why?”

“Uh, isn’t it obvious?”

“No,” I nearly shout.

“You know, this might not be the best place to discuss this.” She glances around. “Don’t want to start a scene.”

I place one hand on the counter behind her and lean forward so only she and I can hear. “I want to know what the heck is going on, because you just made it impossible for me to shake you this week.”

“Trust me, the last thing I want is to be attached to you. It was a tough pill to swallow.”

“Why are you even swallowing it?”

“Don’t guys like it when we swallow?” That know-it-all grin of hers crosses over her lips, the same grin that got me in trouble with her in the first place.

Let me tell you something about Maggie Mitchell. She’s a different kind of girl—oh, sorry, woman.

Unlike any woman I’ve ever met before.

She’s a combination of orderliness, confidence, and warmth. She has no problem saying what’s on her mind, barely possesses any aptitude for embarrassment—I witnessed this when she sang Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now at her brother’s rehearsal dinner. It was off-key, and sometimes she hit notes only dogs could hear. But she also has a helping heart and will go out of her way to make anyone comfortable—well, anyone besides me.

She’s unashamed.

She’s a natural conversationalist.

She has an infectious energy.

If you’re a KA fan, and you love her Rock Chicks/Hot Bunch, you should already have preordered it. If you haven’t, or if you’re new to Kristen Ashley, check out this exclusive excerpt here and preorder it NOW:

𝐀𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐭

“Can I go now?”

When he leaned into his elbows on his desk, fingers linked, resting his chin on them, and penetrated me with his perfect jade stare, I figured that was a no.

“Do you know where you are?” he asked.

“No,” I answered.

“Do you know who we are?” he went on with a slight jerk of his head to Chris.

“Well, that’d be nice to know, considering we’re spending so much time together,” I told him.

“I’m Kai Mason.”

Why was that name familiar?

“And that’s Julien Jackson,” he continued on another slight jerk to Chris…or Julien.

I felt a strange, but far from unpleasant, electrical pulse jolt through me at learning his name.

Well then.

I ignored the pulse and focused on the fact that I liked his name. It was unusual, at least his first name was. It didn’t really look like him, but it also did, in an odd way.

“And considering you’re the Avenging Angel, you probably should know who the players are on the street,” Kai Mason carried on.

Uh-oh.

Seemed he knew more than just my name.

I sat back, clasped my hands in my lap and tried really hard not to suck my lips between my teeth in order to bite them, that being in order not to groan at my own stupidity.

Mental note: A girl can be sassy, but no one should be cocky.

“What are you talking about?” I asked.

Mason sat back too, in order to be more comfortable when he shared, “This is Nightingale Investigations and Security.”

“Okay,” I said slowly.

His lips quirked like he found me amusing.

The gall!

Even if I couldn’t bust open a door, I was kickass, not amusing!

At this point, Jackson moved. He lifted his hands and pretended to type on the keyboard.

He did this saying, “Look it up when you get home.”

ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴀ ᴄʜᴀɴᴄᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴡɪɴ ᴀ ᴄᴏᴘʏ ᴏғ ᴀᴠᴇɴɢɪɴɢ ᴀɴɢᴇʟ? ɪ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴏɴᴇ ᴄᴏᴘʏ ᴛᴏ ɢɪᴠᴇᴀᴡᴀʏ…

✍🏻 Professor Romance’s Review: Jillian Liota’s The Echo of Regret, the final book of the Cedar Point series ✍🏻

professorromance

Overall Grade: B

Tropes: second chances; pro baseball MMC; artist FMC; small town romance; opposites attract

The Echo of Regret is the first book I’ve read from Jillian Liota. Something about the blurb attracted me to this story, even though it’s the final book of her Cedar Point series and I hadn’t read the earlier books of the series. With all of that, I was pleasantly surprised that I chose well with this story. Often when you read a story in a series, you feel as though you missed out on a bigger sense of the story. I never felt this way reading The Echo of Regret. Did it pique my curiosity for the other stories? Of course, but I also didn’t feel compelled to pick them up immediately to read them. 

Bishop and Gabi have different intensities throughout the book. At first, Bishop reads as almost indifferent to the reason for their break-up. It is underplayed in contrast to Gabi’s disdain for him. Even more, Liota ameliorates this pretty quickly which is one of my criticisms of this book. Bishop moves from indifference to intense interest in reconciling. At 61%, Bishop and Gabi are already moving towards reconciliation, and I thought they needed more discussion of the past before doing this (my second criticism). I’m certain Liota didn’t want her readers to wait too long for it, given Gabi tended to cycle through her feelings for Bishop quite a bit (almost repetitively – my third criticism). Still, Liota remedies it through Gabi and Bishop moving forward. Bishop recognizes that Gabi will never be more important than baseball, the mindset of a man four years older and wiser. 

Jillian Liota’s The Echo of Regret reminded me of Laura Pavlov, Devney Perry, and that ilk. It’s sweet and spicy small-town romance that uplifts after putting you through a juggernaut of emotions first. If this is your jam, you should grab this one!

In love and romance,

✍🏻 Professor Romance’s Review: Hit Me with Your Best Shot ✍🏻

professorromance

Overall Grade: A

I have recently spent quite a bit of time reading sports romance. It has slowly taken over my Kindle, and I enjoy the stories. Hit Me with Your Best Shot, an anthology of 6 new sports romances from some beloved authors, is a wonderful surprise. The stories in its pages are engaging, entertaining, and exciting. 

My favorite of the lot is Saffron A. Kent’s “Love Made Me Do It,” a short story from SAK’s St. Mary’s Rebels and Bad Boys of Bardstown series. It’s actually a story I didn’t even know I needed until I found myself lost in its pages. It follows Riot Rivera, a fellow soccer player on the New York FC soccer team and the nanny of his daughter, Sophie, Meadow. If you’ve never read SAK, it’s imperative to know that she has a specific style, a pared-down, almost stream-of-consciousness way of writing, and her signature is all over this story. Even more, she writes forbidden angsty romance like it’s her job (which it is), and her MMCs cannot help their obsession with the FMC and vice versa. It’s stylized, engaging, and messy. And this reader loves it. The way that SAK decidedly and deftly develops tension between her MMC and FMC (in this case, Riot and Meadow) intrigues me every single time. She hides the attraction fo the MMC to the FMC, drawing you deeper into her story, anticipating its revelation. In the short space of “Love Made Me Do It,” SAK reminds us of her writing voice while enticing us with Riot and Meadow’s love journey. It isn’t necessarily a surprise, especially if you know SAK’s storytelling, but it’s a delight to be introduced to these characters and reminded of some of her beloved ones. 

Hit Me with Your Best Shot is a MUST-read if you love sports romance. The authors represented in this anthology are next-level, and they remind you why you LOVE to read their stories, even ones laden with sports.

In love and romance,

Professor A

✍🏻 Professor Romance’s Review: Tia Louise’s A Little Naughty, the final book of the Be Still series ✍🏻

professorromance

Overall Grade: A-/B+

Tropes: small town romance; marriage of convenience; bad guy/good girl; found family; he falls first; touch her and die

Tia Louise’s Hamiltown Heat series had all the angsty feels mingled with a huge helping of spice. Coming out of that series, I needed some levity, and she didn’t disappoint with her Be Still series. From the first book of the series, A Little Taste, I found myself engaged with Tia Louise’s rendering of small-town couples finding love against the odds. It is a lighter series than her Hamiltown Heat series, but its power lies in the sometimes light-angsty nature of the couplings. 

Her final book of the series, A Little Naughty, is the perfect exclamation point to the series. It happens to be my favorite. Jemima and Raif are magical in that they know they want each other from the start, and they don’t allow outside forces to keep them apart. Even more, Tia Louise has drawn Raif as a good man from a “bad” family, and the protectiveness that Jemima shows him draws you into their relationship. The complications of Raif proving to people he isn’t his family makes you fall hard for him, but it’s also how he falls hard for Jemima, protecting her at all costs that really cements it. To me, this is the lightest feeling book of the series, and I believe it’s because Tia Louise brings Raif and Jemima together and keeps them there. A Little Naughty sets out to offer you a marriage of convenience, and she has underscored the found family/community of the special small town of Eureka. That’s really the gem of this story. As the happy ending unfolds, you cannot help but be filled with all the good feelings. Tia Louise’s Be Still series is a feel-good series of special romances that will absolutely steal your heart.

In love and romance,

✍🏻 Professor Romance’s Review: Stacy Travis’s Love You Anyway ✍🏻

professorromance

Overall Grade: A-/B+

Stacy Travis’s Love You Anyway, the second book of her Buttercup Hill series, promises so much for this continued series of siblings. Stacy Travis has written about the undeniable chemistry between Colin, an astrophysicist hiding from scandal, and PJ, the youngest sister of the Corbett family. Some suspense is a running thread thus far in this series, although Travis treats us to a surprise in this second book. Colin and PJ’s “cat and mouse” foreplay drives the reader forward into the story. The age gap, the “will they/won’t they”, and the almost forbidden-esque nature of their coupling make for a story that keeps you engaged to the last page. 

I’m excited about the future stories in this series. I can’t wait to find out more about what’s lurking in Kingston Corbett’s mind. Stacy Travis’s Love You Anyway moves us decidedly and beautifully forward into this world of grapevines and casual living.

In love and romance,

Professor A
