Excerpt

Kiera’s room is dark, so I force myself to be still for a few seconds, allowing my eyes to adjust. When the crack of light leaking in from under the door goes from barely visible to a golden haze rising up from the floor I step forward towards the edge of the four-poster bed, unknotting my tie and pulling it through my collar as I walk.
“Kiera?” I ask, pulling my shirt out of my pants and unbuttoning my shirt. “You awake?”
She moans, rolling over, one of her pale breasts exposed from her top, one long leg bare as it sneaks out from under the covers. Her hair is wild, splayed out on the pillow and half covering her beautiful face.
I want to turn the lights on. Want to see her better. See all of her. Never take my eyes off this woman. I want to make this whole nightmare go away. Give her something better. Leave behind my old life with all its expectations and just steal away with her to some far-away tropical island. Stay naked with her forever and raise babies on the beach.
God, what the fuck is wrong with me? We’ve been back in each other’s lives for less than forty-eight hours and all I can think about is throwing everything away?
You’re in love, Con.
I hear the words in her voice inside my head.
You’re in love.
Maybe I am.
I unbuckle my belt and unfasten my pants. Drag my zipper down, trying to be quiet.
I don’t want to wake her. I want to ease into bed, slip my fingers between her legs, and kiss her mouth as she dreams. Make her come in her sleep.
I am one sick fuck and I don’t care.
When I’m naked I place one knee on the bed and carefully swing my other leg over hers. She twists, flat on her back now. That one exposed breast caught in some stray ray of light that shouldn’t be there, but is. Like a spotlight just for my own sick, hedonistic pleasure.
Thinking back on the party at Camille’s house has turned back time for me. Taken me to the place I was, the person I used to be. The one who fucked her and Sofia—and sometimes Camille too. The one who didn’t mind sharing with Hayes or Bennett because they didn’t mind sharing with me.
It was an orgy. Group sex or whatever.
It was sick, and twisted, and very fucking erotic.
It was heavy breathing, and sweaty, naked bodies, and never enough.
It was never enough that year.
We fucked them all. Together.
It was sensuous, and uninhibited, and lecherous.
How did I ever walk away from these people? How did I ever live a day without them?
I place my hand on her one exposed leg and slowly slide it up to her thigh.
She moans again, mouth parted like she’s waiting for my cock.
I picture those nights long ago. At the parties. How Camille would always be the one to invite us in. And how Hayes would be the first to take her up on those offers. How Sofia was meek, and afraid, and shy. And how she changed. How we all changed.
How Kiera used to whimper and moan as she came.
I want to hear that sound now. Right now.
I lean forward, crawling up her body, my rock-hard cock dragging across the sheets. Aching to be inside her.

From New York Times bestselling author Emily Goodwin comes a sexy standalone romance about a single dad who has sworn off women and the nanny who is faced with the biggest con she has ever pulled, not falling in love.
Side Hustle by Emily Goodwin is live!


Side Hustle ebook cover.jpg


When Scarlet Cooper takes a new job as a nanny, she assumes she’s going to work for the rich couple who hired her. But instead of pulling up to their million-dollar estate, she finds herself on the front porch of a humble farmhouse, looking into the eyes of dark and brooding single dad, Weston Dawson.
It’s bad enough that Weston doesn’t have a fortune to charm out of him, but he’s also a cop. After marrying his high school sweetheart only to have her up and leave weeks after their baby was born, Weston has sworn off women for life. All that matters now is taking care of his son, Jackson.
If anyone can break down the tough exterior of the former soldier, it’s Scarlet. But just when she’s close to getting exactly what she wants, she’s faced with a whole new challenge, which just might be the biggest con she’s ever pulled: pretending she doesn’t love him.

Side Hustle by Emily Goodwin
Review by Theresa Esterline 
Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Will her best intentions win out?

Second chance at life romance story with many laugh out load moments. A cleaner version of Shameless meets Maybury. Throw in a handsome 4 year old boy and you can't put it down. Oh and there are like 9 cats, if you are a cat lover! And now a bit about the story...

Scarlet has a ghost for a father and a drugie for a mother. She dropped out of school to take care of her two siblings. She bent and broke the laws when needed to survive. But now her dad is back and in need of expensive health care, so she turns back to an oldie but a goodie. Getting a job with a rich family as a nanny only to blackmail the husband to keep their affair secret. There are only two problems, she is now nannying for Weston and 1) he isn't rich and 2) he is a single dad. But then the truth comes out will her hustle backfire?

Favorite passages:
- "Thanks." She slips her arms inside the sleeves, thinking I'm being chivalrous. Really, I'm helping out my dick.
- "But playing matchmaker is so fun." "Play it for Logan and Owen."
- "I said 'matchmaker' not 'miracle worker'. Which is what they need."
- "Taking care of people you care about isn't a burden."
- "I swear to you, it burned my mouth," Quinn says and we both laugh. "I told Archer I would never go down on him again if he eats spicy food."
- It's not the past that makes up who you are. It's how you continue forward with your life.

Note: I was given a free copy and voluntarily chose to review this book.

Title: Fumbled Love
Author: Lila Rose
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: December 4, 2018



Blurb

The one day English teacher Reagan Wild is late for work—and looks like she dressed herself in the dark—she remembers Carter Anthony, a well-known football star, is coming to the school to deliver a talk to her overexcited students.

While Reagan knows Carter from her high school days, since he was her past crush, she wasn’t ready to see him again. At the time, she hated being invisible. But right now, she wished she could simply disappear.

Carter Anthony is keen to give back to his hometown, but what he doesn’t expect is getting something in return. When a chance encounter with Reagan, the shy girl from his past, happens, he knows instinctively this woman is supposed to be in his life.

With an embarrassing ability to blurt out whatever’s on her mind, Reagan doesn’t understand Carter’s attention. She has no doubt, though, he’ll soon realize his mistake when he discovers just how crazy she and her family are. But no matter what he sees, what he hears, or how her looney family behaves, he doesn’t run. In fact, Carter’s family seem just as unique as hers.

Through dog poop, naked yoga, and the paparazzi’s, can Carter and Reagan have any hope in love, even when it’s fumbled?

Fumbled Love by Lila Rose
Review by Theresa Esterline 
Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

First Down!

Crazy hilarious sports comedy.  Curvy heroine who crushed on the high school quarterback.  But he couldn't know who she was... at least note until he came back to town and spoke at the high school she now taught at.  And let's not forget his actual girlfriend, who also works at the same school.  And now a bit about the story...

Reagan is the favorite teacher at her high school.  She can be a little loud and awkward, but her students love her.  Carter is the pro football quarterback for the local team and in her high school again for a high school assembly.  Things get a little hands on at their first meeting.  And then move quickly.  Will it be quick enough to get 10 yards in 4 downs?

Favorite passage: I am who I am, and I'm happy.  That's the most important thing in life.  Happiness.

Note: I was given a free copy and voluntarily chose to review this book.

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kendall Ryan comes a new story in her Whiskey Kisses series… Everything’s bigger in Texas. And that includes Duke Wilder’s sexual appetite. Together with his twin brother, he runs a whiskey distillery, and when their business takes off—suddenly he’s got it all. Success. Money. Family. But he doesn’t have a woman to share it with. When Valentina storms into his life, her presence is only supposed to be temporary. She’s a feisty attorney hired to help clean up his company’s recent legal mess. He never counted on her being the one to turn his whole world upside down.

“I’ll drink to that,” I replied, flagging the bartender down for another round. 

Just then some movement over Valentina’s shoulder caught my eye. A woman had just walked into the bar, her chin-length, curly brown hair bouncing with every step. Our eyes met, and she smiled like she knew me. I gave her a half smile back, which quickly faded when I realized who she was. Amber, my ex from college who’d moved away shortly after we graduated. Her hair was different, but her face was pretty much the same. The same round cheeks, full lips, pale blue eyes. Eyes that bore into mine as she turned the corner, making her way to our table. 

It was then that I noticed she wasn’t alone. She had a boy with her, and when his gaze met mine, my stomach dropped. 

That kid could have been my clone. 

Brown hair, green eyes, same nose, same chin. He even had my same damn dimples. My heart was beating so hard, I thought it might jump right out from my throat. What the hell? 

“Earth to Duke, are you paying for this round, or am I?” Valentina’s voice broke me from my panic just in time for Amber and the little boy to reach our table. 

“Hey there, Duke. I was hoping I’d find you here.” Amber’s voice was just as sweet and syrupy as ever, but in that moment, it sounded to me like nails on a chalkboard. She smiled broadly at me, her hands on the boy’s shoulders, while the boy stared blankly up at me. 

“Hey, Amber,” I said when I finally found my voice. “What’s it been, ten years?” 

“Almost eleven.” 

I nodded, my mind still spinning, and that’s when I noticed Valentina. She was sitting up perfectly straight, her lips pulled into a thin, taut line across her face. Her eyes were wide and trained on the boy’s face, her expression unreadable. 

“This is Valentina,” I said, gesturing to her, but the moment the words left my mouth, Valentina stood and grabbed her purse. 

“I was just leaving,” she said, quickly tucking her chair in behind her and forcing a smile at Amber and the boy. 

“Valentina—”

Review by Theresa Esterline 
Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Will their hard work be for naught?Novella about the Wilder brothers resurrection of their fathers whiskey distillery. Short and to the point. A little mystery, lots of charm -- or so he thinks, and some great advice. And now a bit about the story...

Luke and Duke are twins turning their lives and the Wilder Distillery around. Just as they are launching and celebrating their latest achievement, a lawsuit threatens their future. Good think Charlotte's (Luke's wife) best friend and lawyer is on her way to town. Of course she arrives to find Duke half naked. Their hate/love relationship grows from their. But can they save the whiskey?

Favorite passage: “Good morning, darlin’. Could I interest you in some breakfast sausage?”
