It’s live! Valentine is finally here.

I’m so thrilled to announce the launch of Take Her from You (McRae Bodyguards, #3) by Jolie Vines.

🔥

A single mom in hiding and the bodyguard roommate she can’t resist

Mia

Hiding out in the Scottish Highlands, I’ve fled my old life. I need a home for my little daughter, a job, and the eyeful of my roommate naked in the shower has me thinking

I might need a hot Scottish boyfriend, too.

But the gorgeous bodyguard only offers fun nights between the sheets. While he’s preoccupied worshipping my thick thighs and claiming he doesn’t want commitment, I’m meant to be busy on the dating scene.

For longterm, he’s telling me to look elsewhere, but what if it’s him I fall for?

Valentine

My new roomie is a wet dream come true. With her kind personality and curves for days, I can’t keep my mind off her. A welcome distraction from the broken relationship with my brother and the ex-fiancée who won’t leave me alone.

Except Mia’s looking for more than I can offer. I had my fingers burned by love and won’t ever go there again.

Only when people come looking for her do I realise just how easily she could be taken from me.

—

Take Her from You features a plus-sized single mom, her Scottish roommate with golden retriever energy, and an intimate toy she creates using him as a template.

This swoony, friends-to-everything, steamy read is a standalone in the McRae Bodyguards series and set in the gorgeous Scottish Highlands.

Join Mia and Valentine’s adventure in love today!

In Kindle Unlimited and beautiful paperback with black and white chapter art of the Scottish Highlands.

✍🏻 Professor Romance’s Review: Meghan Quinn’s The Reason I Married Him ✍🏻

professorromance

Overall Grade: B+

Tropes: marriage of convenience; small town; golden retriever MMC; emotionally protective FMC

I’m late in posting this review. I’ll admit it, and it isn’t that I didn’t love Meghan Quinn’s newest Almond Bay story, The Reason I Married Him (TRIMH); it’s because it hit close to home in a way. You see, I’m Aubree. Maybe not to the depth of her pain hidden behind walls of emotional stone, but I’m similar in that I erect those stone walls of emotion and let them down only when I feel safe. Meghan Quinn captures this reality beautifully in TRIMH, so much so, that, for someone who lives it, it felt tortuous at times. Quinn’s careful development of the breakdown of Aubree’s walls is easily the best part of the book, but it also has emotional gravitas. In fact, when Wyatt’s character flaw is revealed, it adds very little to the story. For me, it felt like it explained his poor choices away too easily. What was most important about Wyatt, what brought levity to Aubree’s difficult character journey, is his way of lightening and cajoling joy into Aubree’s life. 

Quinn carefully couches Aubree’s journey to feeling safe with Wyatt by crafting his character with humor and resilience. Even though Wyatt’s journey is laden with difficulties – his need for perfection doesn’t compare to Aubree’s. It allows him to empathize with her and challenge her, but his easy persona is the perfect foil to Aubree’s more challenging one. The light/dark motif of this book underscores their relationship well. 

My only challenge with the book is its necessity for a slow burn. There are deep trauma walls to burn down, and it can only happen with patience, resilience, and encapsulating moments. Quinn does this well, but it also slows the movement forward. I needed to take breaks from Wyatt and Aubree’s back-and-forth banter because their chemistry is a minefield. This is necessary for this book, but it makes it harder to read than the first book of the series, The Way I Hate Him. That’s still my favorite of the series. 

I adore Meghan Quinn’s romances. The Reason I Married Him adds more depth to the struggles of the Rowley siblings. Like an onion, Quinn is peeling each layer, revealing more to love about their lives in this delightful town of Almond Bay. Even more, she connects more of her universe, delighting fans like me repeatedly. 

In love and romance,

Professor A

About THE REASON I MARRIED HIM:

He proposed . . . and I said yes.
Normally a jovial occasion for a couple in love, but this proposal has a very different feel.
Because the man that I’ll be calling my husband blew into town with one thing on his mind . . . to make my life a living nightmare.

So why did I say yes?

Well, because we both need something from each other.

Namely, I want the farm land he currently owns, and he needs a wife in order to inherit his family cabin in his grandfather’s will.

So as he so eloquently put it, my hand, for his land.

At first, I thought the idea was nuts.
Who really gets married out of convenience?
Apparently, I do.

And now we have to sell our relationship to the town. Meaning, we’re holding hands, he’s pinching my cheeks . . . upper and lower. We’re even forced to share the one-bedroom guest house on the farm where his monstrous body is taking up a large percentage of the bed.

But we’re so persuasive about our farse, that now I’m starting to think he actually might like me. Especially when he grabs me by the wrist and teases the shell of my ear as he whispers, “Mine.”

✍🏻 Professor Romance’s Review: Louise Bay’s Dr. Fake Fiance ✍🏻

professorromance

Overall Grade: B

Tropes: he falls first; fake engagement; pop star FMC; golden retriever MMC

Louise Bay’s Dr. Fake Fiance is definitely my favorite story of her The Doctors series. All of the stories in these books offer FMCs and MMCs that burrow their way into your heart. However, Beau and Vivan have something a bit more magical between them. For one, at a time when Swifties have fallen hard for Taylor and Travis Kelce’s romance, Beau and Vivian’s story has a similar feel. It’s easy to love Beau in Dr. Fake Fiance. He doesn’t take life too seriously and doesn’t know that Vivian is a superstar in hiding. He is a loveable “golden retriever” of a hero. In contrast, Vivian is guarded. She’s been hurt by the machinations of her former long-time fiance and burned by the media. London provides her with the perfect cover, but Vivian and Beau’s instant chemistry makes it difficult for her to keep hiding. Louise Bay has crafted Vivan and Beau so that friendship quickly morphs into something deeper and scary for both of them. While Beau is seemingly easy-going, we recognize that his past trauma has actually impacted him more than he ever suspects, and Vivian is granted the opportunity to take control of her life. Their story arcs are interesting and engaging, and you will find yourself cheering for their happy ending. 

Add to this the cornerstone of Bay’s The Doctors series: the familial bond of Beau’s family. This is the tether between the stories, and it acts as the grounding force for the internal struggles of this series’s heroes and heroines. It does the same for Vivian and Beau, allowing them some normalcy in their chaotic world. The guidance of Beau’s parents and his brothers’ wisdom becomes the impetus for Beau to move forward. 

If your Roman Empire is currently the Taylor + Travis romance, you absolutely want to read Louise Bay’s Dr. Fake Fiance. 

In love and romance,

Professor A

✍🏻 In the first three books of J. Saman’s Irresistibly Yours series, Asher Reyes is clearly the “golden retriever” of his famous friend group. And he falls first and “down” in her newest story, Irresistibly Risky. This is NOW my favorite of the series. ✍🏻

professorromance

Irresistibly Risky by J. Saman is now live! 

Picture this: you just won the Super Bowl. You’re out on the town celebrating with your teammates and best friends. And the cherry on top? You meet the sexiest woman you’ve ever seen. 

Best. Night. Ever.

That is until things get going and you discover you’re suffering from a first-ever case of…performance issues. 

Before you can even get a fix on your problem, *Poof* she’s gone and that’s the end of that.

Game over. 

Or so I thought.

Turns out, that woman I met two years ago isn’t just some random woman from a club. 

She’s my team’s new doctor. 

As if that’s not already a penalty against me, she wants nothing to do with me now that she knows who I am. 

But after our first go didn’t, well, go, I’m determined to prove myself and win a second chance with the woman I haven’t been able to stop thinking about. 

Especially when she hits me with the biggest surprise of my life.

I know this new game is risky. That it could cost me everything I’ve worked impossibly hard to build for myself. Yet something tells me going up against this irresistible woman is worth the risk.

And I’m ready to play my heart out.
