September 22, 2021 by Angela 3 Comments

“Auden and Carter are the swoony heroes I didn’t know I needed in my life! Turnabout is spectacular, and everyone should read it.” USA Today bestselling author Sarina Bowen

I don’t have time for an unplanned visit home to help out in my father’s struggling letterpress shop. My stint in Vermont will have to be short, for a couple of reasons: 

One, I’m a busy executive trying to climb the corporate ladder.

Two, my ex is still my dad’s right-hand man in the shop. And I am not over him.

Nothing has changed at the Burlington shop. Auden still has his infuriatingly sexy Scottish accent. He’s still hot, and still stubborn. Between operating the antique press with his shirtsleeves rolled up, and moonlighting at Burlington’s hottest inclusive wine bar, he pushes every one of my attraction buttons.

My falling-in-love-again buttons, too. Except I’m his polar opposite. I love change, and taking chances. Everything he avoids in life. 

So why am I trying to convince him to reach for more than we’ve ever dreamed of—the possibility of forever?

Turnabout is a second-chance romance with interfering family, groveling, and a large helping of artisan stationery geekery.

Turnabout (Vino and Veritas) by Laurel Greer– Kindle Deal at $1.99.

Bestselling author Mhairi McFarlane returns with another heartfelt romantic comedy perfect for fans of Josie Silver, Sophie Kinsella, or Sally Thorne.

One of Shondaland’s 5 Must-Read Books for March and a Best Romance of 2020 by Amazon, OprahMag, Insider, Buzzfeed, Bustle, Cosmo, PopSugar, and BookPage.

If faking love is this easy… how do you know when it’s real?

When her partner of over a decade suddenly ends things, Laurie is left reeling—not only because they work at the same law firm and she has to see him every day. Her once perfect life is in shambles and the thought of dating again in the age of Tinder is nothing short of horrifying. When news of her ex’s pregnant girlfriend hits the office grapevine, taking the humiliation lying down is not an option. Then a chance encounter in a broken-down elevator with the office playboy opens up a new possibility.

Jamie Carter doesn’t believe in love, but he needs a respectable, steady girlfriend to impress their bosses. Laurie wants a hot new man to give the rumor mill something else to talk about. It’s the perfect proposition: a fauxmance played out on social media, with strategically staged photographs and a specific end date in mind. With the plan hatched, Laurie and Jamie begin to flaunt their new couple status, to the astonishment—and jealousy—of their friends and colleagues. But there’s a fine line between pretending to be in love and actually falling for your charming, handsome fake boyfriend…

If I Never Met You: A Novel by  Mhairi McFarlane– $1.99 for a limited time.

What if the guy you hate the most is the one you are most attracted to?
What if he can wet your panties in two seconds flat with just a squeeze of his hot buns?
Plus those flexing muscles he dares flaunt in front of me…
Hot damn, how can I say no to those?!
Yeah… I know… I am so fxcked up.
He’s definitely going to be the reason for my doom.
Seeeeee… another reason to hate him a bajillion times more!

Book 1 – Hating my Brother’s Best Friend
That prick! He took over my business!!
Yes, just like that. Without even asking for my permission!
Now, he has the nerves to act like my boss.
Somebody, stop me from murdering that cocky A-Hole, please.

Book 2 – Hating My New Roommate
What was my grandpa thinking dumping a rich prick on me?!
I might live alone in a big house but that totally does NOT mean I need a roommate.
Especially not him!

Book 3 – Hating The Billionaire Prick
I have to tolerate the king of all jerks alive for six straight months?
It’s Day One and he’s already harassing me about how messy everything in MY house is.
Already making suggestions about what to change… which is practically everything!
I don’t care how wickedly attractive he is, somebody just get him the bloody hell away!

Book 4 – Hating the Best Man
The feud between our parents has nothing on our hatred for each other.
The world will freeze over before I have anything to do with that A-Hole…
But did I say our best friends are getting married to each other?
And I’m stuck with that same A-Hole for a WHOLE week planning the wedding!
But wait, it gets worst…
Like ending up handcuffed to your worst enemy after a wild night out kind of worse.
With no key in sight. Eeeeeeeeeerp!

4 Never-Before-Released Standalone Rom-Coms in one Sheet-Meltingly Hot Box Set!!
One-click to get your happily-ever-afters.

Sleeping with the Enemy: An Enemies to Lovers Romance Collection– Kindle Daily Deal at $.99.

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Sinner brings another hot adventure of true love and ultimate sacrifice in the Black Dagger Brotherhood world.

The location of the glymera’s notorious prison camp was lost after the raids. When a freak accident provides Nyx clues to where her sister may still be doing time, she becomes determined to find the secret subterranean labyrinth. Embarking on a journey under the earth, she learns a terrible truth—and meets a male who changes everything, forever.

The Jackal has been in the camp for so long he cannot recall anything of the freedom he once knew. Trapped by circumstances out of his control, he helps Nyx because he cannot help himself. After she discovers what happened to her sister, getting her back out becomes a deadly mission for them both.

United by a passion they can’t deny, they work together on an escape plan for Nyx—even though their destiny is to be forever apart. And as the Black Dagger Brotherhood is called upon for help, and Rhage discovers he has a half-brother who’s falsely imprisoned, a devious warden plots the deaths of them all…even the Brothers.

The Jackal (Black Dagger Brotherhood: Prison Camp Book 1) by JR Ward– $1.99 for a limited time.

    There seem to be so many of these Sarina Bowen world books. I haven’t tried one yet. I don’t read a lot of M/M, but maybe this will be a good one to start with. (Besides, how can I resist a book written by someone with the same first name as me.)

    @Laurel: Sarina Bowen’s Heart Eyes Press is publishing over 40 books this year. There are, I think, four separate series—all of them connected in some way to Bowen’s True North books. The Vino & Veritas series are mostly m/m (but I believe there are a couple of f/f), set in an LGBTQ+ wine bar & bookstore. (I also think most of the V&V books are available on Kindle Unlimited, if you happen to be a member.) I haven’t read all the Heart Eyes Press books, but my favorite so far is SWEET HEART by Sarah Mayberry. It’s an m/f romance, part of the Busy Bean series, set in a coffee shop.

    @DiscoDollyDeb: Wow, 40 is a lot. I hadn’t realized there were so many. No wonder I keep seeing them. Thanks for the info.
