New Release: The Anti-Boyfriend by Penelope Ward

Title: The Anti-Boyfriend

Author: Penelope Ward

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Release Date: August 31, 2020

Blurb

From New York Times bestselling author
Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.

At first, my neighbor Deacon frustrated me.

Sure, he was great-looking and friendly.

But our walls were thin, and on occasion, he’d bring women to his place and keep me awake while he “entertained” them.

As a single mother to an infant, I didn’t appreciate it.

So, finally it was my turn.

When my daughter wouldn’t stop wailing one night, Mr. Manwhore came knocking on my door.

Miraculously, at the sound of his voice, Sunny stopped crying. And when he held her…she eventually fell asleep in his arms.

Deacon was rough on the exterior, but apparently on the inside? Mr. Single-and-Ready-to-Mingle was a baby whisperer.

After that night, we became friends.

He’d go for coffee runs. Come over to chat. Normal friend stuff.

But over time, our conversations ran deeper. We got closer.

Until one night we crossed the line.

Our friendship turned into a complicated mess.

I’d gone and fallen for a guy who’d sworn off commitment and kids.

I knew Deacon was starting to care for me too, even though Sunny and I didn’t fit into any plan he’d ever imagined for himself.

He was wrong for me—so wrong that I’d dubbed him the “anti-boyfriend.”

Then why did I wish more than anything that I could be the one woman to change him?

Release Date: August 27, 2020

Blurb

Nick Collins doesn’t believe he deserves salvation.

He’s spent years in the FBI chasing a man under the pretense of doing what’s right when all along, revenge has been his one true motive. After his life takes an unexpected turn, he vows to finish his mission and finally find the happiness he’s been denying himself for years.

That happiness lives less than a minute away.

And her name is Madeline Hughes.

Maddie has the ability to bring him back from the edge of the cliff he’s been balancing on.  As his only weakness over the years, she became the one person with the power to keep the good inside of him from succumbing to the darkness. 

And together they share a secret.

A secret that drives him with an intensity unlike anything he’s ever experienced and
promises a future he never thought he could have, but first he has to prove he’s worthy.

It’s the biggest mission of his life.

But one he refuses to lose.

The town of New Hope should brace.

Because Nick Collins is finally coming home.

This story has been brewing for a LONG time - ever since Jennifer Hanks's second release, Sydney. It has been one of my most anticipated reads and Hanks delivered an AMAZING story!

Throughout her other stories we've gotten small glimpses here and there of Nick and Maddie but nothing, and I mean NOTHING, prepared me for this!

Cover Reveal: My Darling Arrow by Saffron A. Kent

Release Date: September 17 

Darling Arrow,

I shouldn’t be writing this. 

It’s not as if I’m ever going to send you this letter, and there are a million reasons why.

First of all, I was sent to this reform school as a punishment for a petty, totally inconsequential crime. Not to ogle the principal’s hot son around the campus.

Second of all, you’re a giant jerk. You’re arrogant and moody and so cold. Sometimes I think I shouldn’t even like you.

But strangely your coldness sets me on fire. 

The way your athletic body moves on the soccer field, and the way your powerful thighs sprawl across that motorcycle of yours, make me go inappropriately breathless. 

But that’s not the worst part. 

The worst part is that you, Arrow Carlisle, are not only the principal’s hot son. 

You also happen to be the love of my sister’s life. 

And I really shouldn’t be thinking about my sister’s boyfriend, or rather fiancé (I overheard a conversation about the ring that I shouldn’t have).

Now if I can only stop writing you these meaningless letters that I’ll never send and you’ll never read…

Never yours,

Salem

Blurb:

I can explain.
Kind of.
I realize the wig and makeup don’t help my case, but that’s not the point.
The point is, Sebastian came at me first.
He’s the one who started this war, but I’m the one who finished it.
I’m not even sorry about it.
Fine. Maybe I am. A little.
That’s the only explanation as to why I just agreed to play his fake girlfriend so he—we—can win a million dollars in the hottest reality show contest ever filmed on campus.
Don’t get it wrong though, Sebastian and I may look like we love each other, but everyone knows reality TV is nothing but scripted lies and staged kisses.

About the Author:

A self-proclaimed reader enthusiast, Kristy started her writing journey back in 2009, reading and writing when her daughter was napping. Establishing her place in Corporate America (because something had to pay the bills), writing became her dirty, late-night secret.

After eight long years, she released her debut novel, Commander. It was a long road, but she can honestly say, the road less traveled had the most beautiful sights.

The only thing Kristy Marie loves as much as reading and writing is sports! Especially those that require muscles and a nice ass. Her favorite is, and always will be, baseball. She's such a fan, that she even married her small town's high school's centerfielder where they still live with their three badass kids.

AMAZON LIVE RELEASE ALERT

Excerpt

Copyright © 2020

By Penelope Ward

Today, just as I got back to my door, Deacon was exiting his apartment.

“Oh, hey, Carys-Like-Paris. How goes it?” He flashed a wide smile.

When people ask me my name, for some stupid reason, I sometimes answer, “Carys, like Paris,” particularly when I’m nervous. That was the case the first time I met Deacon.

A whiff of his amazing smell put my body on alert. He looked handsome as always. Today he wore a camel-colored suede coat with a shearling collar. His blue eyes, which stood out against his tanned skin, glimmered under the fluorescent lights overhead, which also brought out the copper tint to his otherwise medium-brown hair. He was at least six-foot-two—a beanstalk to my five-foot-four self.

This was my opportunity to bring up last night. But now that he was right here, towering over me, his musky smell saturating the air, I seemed to have lost the words. Still, I was determined to speak up now or never.

My heartbeat accelerated. Here goes. Still out of breath from my sprint up the stairs, I said, “Well, honestly, in answer to your question… I’d love to say I’m doing great, but I had a hard time getting to sleep last night. So, I’ve been better.”

He frowned. “I’m sorry to hear that.”

“Actually, it’s sort of your fault.”

Deacon’s forehead crinkled. “My fault?”

“Yeah. I don’t know if you realize this, but your bed is right up against mine, on the opposite side of the wall. Your…interactions…last night woke me up, and I had a hard time getting back to sleep.”

Most women can’t handle my filthy, bossy mouth under the sheets…

So when I agree to take in the woman who was rescued with my sister, I fight my demons.

Every moment I spend with Lena, the craving for her grows.

But she was declared by the Twisted Hearts and forced to marry a monster. The last thing she needs is another man telling her what to do.

The FBI hired my ex-girlfriend to give her intensive therapy. Kate’s helped hundreds of women declared by the gang and wants me back.

Therapy requires Kate to live with us.

And Lena insists Kate knows things she shouldn’t and believes she’s a Twisted Heart. I can’t contemplate it.

But betrayal is sneaky.

“Web of Betrayal” is the fourth installment of the “Together We Stand” series. It’s an epic journey of one family's struggle of forgiveness, hope, and new beginnings amidst dangerous situations. Each story intertwines and focuses on a new sibling trying to find their Happily Ever After.

New Release + Review: Backup Plan by Emily Goodwin

Backup Plan by New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author, Emily Goodwin is now live!

When we were only kids, Sam Harris and I made a promise we'd marry each other if we were still single when we turned thirty. Well, my thirtieth birthday has come and gone and I'm still as single as ever.

And as far as I know, so is Sam.

But it's been ages since we've seen each other, and after what he did to me our senior year of college, I wouldn't put his ring on my finger even if he begged me to marry him. Never mind his devilish good looks. Or the fact that the playboy partier is a doctor now.

Nope, I'm sticking to my guns with this, and when I go back to my hometown of Silver Ridge for the first time in years, I won't pay him the slightest bit of attention. Well...until he convinces me to go out for drinks to catch up. I knew it was a bad idea the moment I agreed to it.

And then he brings up our childhood promise.

It might be fun and games to him, but it's not to me. Because as much a I don't want to admit it, Sam has always been my first choice. And I don't want to be nothing more than his backup plan.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

Chloe and Sam were unlikely friends growing up. Sam was the popular one that went through girlfriends like they were going out of style. Chloe went to the beat of her own drum and was picked on for it. They made a pact to marry if they were both single when they turned thirty but Sam committed the ultimate betrayal that devastated Chloe and ruined their friendship. 

Fast forward to being adults, Chloe's quirks have made her very successful. Now, she's back home for a break and runs into Sam and his family. 

This one was just okay for me. While I liked the plot, I felt that when the betrayal was revealed, it fell flat. I needed to feel more emotions from the both of them when they reflected on it. If it caused a rift between them, I just felt like I needed more than he did this, I felt this and now this is where I stand. Let me FEEL the betrayal. 

There are also things that I felt should have been addressed between the two of them that weren't. 

When they finally get over themselves and take the plunge, it gets much better - and hotter. 

What I didn't realize however was this would be a cliffhanger. After they get over themselves, something else is about to get in their way.

Cover Reveal: Star-Crossed Lovers by Piper Rayne

Release Date: October 13

She’s got two strikes against her.

Her name is Erickson and her parents own The Bagel Place.

It wasn’t always that way. When we were nine, we were best friends. But then a feud between our dads ripped their successful business apart—and my best friend was ripped away too.

Our paths were bound to cross again. Now, both our families are vying for the same spot on a Food Channel’s reality show. Soon, the hatred between us becomes indifference and then our friendship grows like our time apart was only hours instead of years.

So when Evan asks me to pretend to be her boyfriend, I naively assume it’s to repair the rift between our families. But I wasn’t only wrong, I was dead wrong. That glimpse of a future I saw with her is ripped away again just like when we were young.

The difference is, now I’m all grown up, and I fight for what I want.
