From USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR Xavier Neal comes a laugh-out-loud forced proximity romantic comedy!

 

Tucker Frost is a charming, billionaire flight risk with no interest in attending his mother’s wedding reception at the end of the summer. 

And June Bailey?

Well, she’s his aunt’s clumsy, overworked assistant that’s tasked with making sure he gets to the aforementioned wedding now that he’s back in town.

That is if she’d like to keep her job.

Is there anyway she can convince her boss’s stubborn, wanderlust loving nephew to bury the hatchet and be her date to the big event or will she be jobless, homeless, and back to sending out resumes before they even have a chance to cut the cake?

Title: Grumpy the Bear
Series: Bluebell Band of Brothers #1
Author: Marika Ray
Genre: Small Town Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Grumpy/Sunshine, Single Dad, Enemies to Lovers
Release Date: June 8, 2023
Cover Photographer: Wander Aguiar
Cover Model: Blaze
Cover Design: Jennifer Olson
He’s a tattooed, blue-eyed jerk who has no business being a single dad. He’s also my next-door neighbor, and after negotiations, my grumpy employer for the summer.

I don’t put up with cocky males normally and I certainly won’t put up with that man making noise at all hours of the day and night while he builds his glamp-ground. I offer advice, but the stubborn fool just turns his tractor on to drown me out. He returns the favor by pushing my buttons and making me so angry I can’t see straight. And I really want to be able to see his gorgeous body in those well-worn jeans and backward hat.

Amidst the verbal warfare, I discover he’s hiding scars from a recent accident. I also find out his light eyes heat up to a smoldering icy gray when I give as good as I get. Makes me want to see just how far I can push him and what he’ll do when he boils over.

Gannon’s been dealt a rough hand in life, and when I find a way under that gruff—and stupidly handsome—exterior, I find that maybe he’s not Grumpy the Bear as I nicknamed him, but instead just a teddy bear.

“Get that background check to me,” I snapped.

Paisley rolled those pretty eyes and dropped back down to her feet to step out of the trailer. “You either trust me or you don’t, cowboy,” she tossed over her shoulder.

I found myself watching her backside walk all the way back to her property, tearing up the ground like she commanded nature itself. When I realized what I was doing, I squeezed my eyes shut and turned around, reminding myself of my promise. Paisley was my new neighbor and now my daughter’s nanny. There would be absolutely no looking. Just working.

Title: Marrying the Muse
Author: Kari Castaño
Genre: RomCom
Cover Designer: Laura with Spellbinding Designs
Publication Date: July 27th, 2023
Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR

Blurb:
How far will a romance-wary thriller writer go in order to save her career? Simple: she finds herself in a fake marriage with a playboy billionaire.

 

Olivia Harris, master of penning thrillers that could scare the socks off a hardened criminal, is facing the literary equivalent of a horror show. Her agent drops the bomb: publishers want romance, not thrillers. So, she’s expected to switch from writing about cold-blooded killers to hot-blooded lovers. Just one tiny problem – Olivia wouldn’t know romance if it hit her with a dozen roses.

 

Meanwhile, billionaire tycoon and renowned playboy, Alexander Kingston, is facing his own crisis. His playboy antics have finally caught up to him, and his grandfather is done turning a blind eye, threatening to snatch away Kingston Enterprises and his inheritance unless he ties the knot. But where on earth would he find a bride in this eleventh-hour scramble?

 

Enter Fate, who apparently thinks it’s a stand-up comedian, flinging Olivia and Alexander together again after a previous one-night-stand. Seeing an unexpected solution to his problem, Alexander takes a wild shot and pitches Olivia a proposal that is more business than bended knee.

 

Will they dare to venture into the unknown or is the absurdity of their agreement doomed to upend their own rebelliously romantic hearts?

Kari Castaño is a vibrant new voice in the genre of romantic comedy. She is slated to release her debut novel, “Marrying the Muse,” in the summer of 2023.

 

Residing in the sun-kissed landscapes of South Florida, Kari finds inspiration in her lush surroundings, the adventures that come with traveling, and the diverse stories she encounters in her favorite Korean dramas. She has a knack for infusing her narratives with a unique blend of wit, charm, and relatable characters that resonate with readers.

 

Kari Castaño is a passionate writer, a global traveler, and an avid K-drama enthusiast. She spends her days crafting stories that bring joy and laughter, echoing her own zest for life, as she prepares to launch “Marrying the Muse.”

Title: Accidental Attachment
Author: Max Monroe
Genre: Romantic Comedy (stand alone)
Release Date: April 30, 2023
Cover Design: Peter Alderweireld
 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jeeves Reads Romance – “A slow-burning treat, this exceedingly low angst romance is easily one of my new favorites from this writing duo.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Goodreads Review – “This book is full of Max Monroe Hallmarks. Witty banter. Lots of laughs. Tons of self deprecating – in the cutest way – inner monologue.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Catbythesea Reads – “I’ve never read anything quite as amazing as this book, it made me sad, filled with laughter and joy all at the same time.”
A successful writer accidentally sends her new (and super-dreamy) editor the wrong manuscript. Instead of the full-length paranormal novel she promised Longstrand Publishing, she sends the fan fiction she’s written about her crush…on him—including every detail of the hot, steamy “physical activity” she’s fantasized about happening between them.
 
And Chase Dawson may be the hottest man alive and a super-talented editor to boot, but he’s completely oblivious that he’s the star of the manuscript he just convinced his boss to green-light.
Brooke Baker has been through a lot in her thirty-one years of life.
A divorce.
A career change.
A move to New York City from “small-town” Ohio.
Not to mention, she has a bit of a medical condition that involves occasional fainting spells, mild embarrassment, and the companionship of her adorable service dog and canine sidekick, Benji.
But none of it has prepared her for this.
 
None of it prepared her for Chase Dawson.
Strong jaw, blue eyes, cut muscles, and a perfect swoop of superhero-worthy black hair, Chase’s features are those of a book boyfriend and then some. Obviously, Brooke would know—she literally filled an entire manuscript with it.
A manuscript no one was ever supposed to see.
Will she survive two months of revising and editing the sizzling romance she imagined with Chase in extremely close quarters with him? Or will the constant white lies and overwhelming attraction make her spontaneously combust?

Big Book Boss

Amazon | Kobo | Apple | Nook 


BLURB:

In this Hot Billionaire RomCom, a drunken bar hook-up comes back to bite when Samaera answers a horrific job ad written to attract a male personal assistant, and ‘Sam’ is hired sight unseen to the Big Book Boss of Precious Kitty (Females, not felines!) Publishing House.

 

Meeting him was a total fluke.

Doing him was a BIG mistake.

Or was it?

 

He was a beefcake at the bar watching the Yankees game with a bro.

Needing liquor courage for the karaoke contest, Samaera inserted herself.

Tipsy from the drinks and drunk on the win, Dixie Doodle does something stupid.

But … #BestSexEver.

 

Ten days later, she answers a horrifically worded ad.

Clearly intended to attract a male Personal Assistant to a billionaire mogul.

No woman would want to work for a Boss (dick).

But desperate and fearless, ‘Sam’ applies.

 

Immediately, she is offered the position.

The catch, she has ten minutes to arrive.

 

Rushing by the outgoing personal assistant, she crashes into Boss Dick’s office.

On her knees, she hears, “You’re not a man. Get out!”

But Samaera is a fighter, not a quitter, and threatens a sexist lawsuit.

To which an all too familiar voice from the bar answers:

“Then grab a condom for your heart, honey. I’m going to f—k your feelings.”

 

Then Bastian realizes who was hired, and he proceeds to rewrite her job duties.

Her feelings are not the only thing he intends to f–k.

 

Her mantra becomes, “Do a good job. Don’t do him—again.”

But his demand that she be with him 24/7 could prove to be too much.

If only his body wasn’t chiseled and his lips weren’t sculpted.

And she didn’t know how BIG Book Boss is!

 

Join Samaera and Sebastian for a hot whirlwind billionaire romantic comedy full of steamy scenes in this opposites-attract, grumpy-sunshine new release by #4 Amazon Chart Author Jessika Klide.

*This is a Standalone novel*

Release Date: July 17, 2023
Cover Design: HEA Studios
 
Don’t kiss your best friend’s brother.
Easy enough.
Too bad I never got the memo.
The grumpy, tattooed bad boy screams off limits.
Instead of staying away, I tell him to kiss me. It’s a kiss that sends tingles to places I never knew could tingle. When it’s over, I need more.
This good girl craves the bad boy.
And his name is Ledger Hudson.
Our chemistry between the sheets…
Undeniable.
Turning the frown of the grumpasaurus upside down…
Most fun I’ve ever had.
Everything quickly unravels once my best friend finds out. Words are said. Food is thrown. And now my best friend hates me.
Ledger pushes me away, saying we’re from different worlds. I tug him back, wanting to prove him wrong. When I’m dateless for the biggest gala of the year, he shows up as my knight in shiny combat boots.
All my life I’ve been forced to follow a certain set of rules and a smokin’ hot guy in ripped jeans and a motorcycle isn’t on the list. But being rebellious never felt so good.
As they say… what goes up must come crashing down, shattering in a million tiny pieces.
When I’m left with nothing…
It’s the grumpy, bad boy who’s determined to not let me go.

 
Gia Stevens resides in the up north of Minnesota. She lives for the warm, sunny days of summer and dreads the bitter cold of winter. A romantic comedy junkie at heart, she knew she wanted her own stories to encompass those same feelings.

Bad-boy hockey player Hayden Harrington always lands on his feet. Or skates, in this case.

It’s not all bad, though.
This could be his big chance to play center on the top line.

Still, though she’s hot as sin, he’s happy he’ll never have to see her again.

Ha, like that’ll go well.

Title: Falling First Hell
Series: Hellman Brothers Series
Author: Marika Ray
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Cinnamon Roll Hero; Reverse Grumpy/Sunshine; Small Town
Release Date: March 30, 2023
I’m unemployed and down to my last dollar—thank you stranger who bought my coffee when my card was declined this morning. If that wasn’t bad enough, I just T-boned the truck belonging to the guy I was meeting on a first date.
Ethan Hellman, small town sweetheart with a secret, and an instant—unbelievable—love for me despite me denting his truck.
It’s not that I don’t believe in love per se. It’s just that I’ve done the calculations—it won’t happen to me. And especially not now when I’m bouncing off rock bottom with the bruises to prove it.
But Ethan doesn’t seem to care about all that. He offers me a job, a place to live…and a rock on my finger. I just have to turn my back on my career, pretend to be giddy in love, and be the face of his new company. His constant sunshine makes me grumpy. It’s also kind of addicting. So I agree to his terms and find myself living a life I don’t even recognize.
Things are going surprisingly well when someone from my past reappears offering a similar lifeline. I’ll have to make some tough decisions that just don’t compute in my logical brain.
Ethan may have fallen first, but I’m afraid I’ve fallen harder.

“These two had me basking in all the feels as they tugged at my heartstrings and tickled my funny bone. It is impossible not to laugh out loud as you read this book, but your heart is also going to wickedly ache for Andi.” -Gladys, Goodreads

Ethan may have fallen first, but I’m afraid I’ve fallen harder.

I’d done more crazy things in the last forty-eight hours than I’d done in my lifetime. And apparently, I wasn’t going to stop anytime soon. Marching across the room, I flung open the door and didn’t even wince when it slammed against the wall with a bang. 

“Ethan?” I called, heading toward the living room. 

“In the kitchen,” he called back.

I hightailed it in that direction, not giving my brain a chance to talk me out of this. I, Andrea Higgs, was going to grab life by the horns—err, Ethan by the ears—and kiss the hell out of him. I wasn’t sure how and I wasn’t sure if it would even be any good, but I was going to do it.

He was standing by the refrigerator, door open as he pondered the contents. His head came up as I approached and his lips started to curve up in a smile I wanted to taste. I walked right up to him, stepped on his foot, and lifted up onto my toes to mash my lips to his with all the finesse of a toddler. His eyes popped wide open. I knew this because my eyes were wide open too.

I couldn’t even explain what happened next. I was a first-party witness to the whole thing, but it didn’t make any sense. Usually this was when the snoozers would make a boob grab like that was enough to make me wild for them.

This was not the move Ethan made. He changed from the mild-mannered man I’d agreed to work for and fake marry to the kind that growls like an animal. I knew it was him because I felt the vibration of his chest as the growl was let loose. His arms came around my waist and my eyes slammed shut. My legs climbed him like a koala in a love tree, a move he must have anticipated because he grabbed my hips with both hands and spun us until my back knocked against the refrigerator.

Someone whimpered but it couldn’t have been me because Ethan’s tongue was familiarizing itself with mine. The room began to spin and the fever was back. Ethan’s lips were not like that of a fish, I was happy to find out.

Ethan’s rough palm swept across my jawline and into my hair, tilting my head to the side so he could devour me like a TSwift album the night it was released. My thighs quivered with need and Ethan pulled back just enough to whisper against my lips.

“I’ve been wanting to do this since the second I saw you.”
