BRASH BOSS
BY A.S. ROBERTS
NICO
Ruthless, unstoppable, downright relentless.
Ruthless, unstoppable, downright relentless.
I know what they say about me,
And they're right.
I’m Vegas, mafia royalty. I deal with business the only way
I know how, arrogantly.
But, in life listening to the matriarch of our family is
really all that matters.
However, settling down,
Getting married,
And playing it straight,
Just isn't me.
But what Nonna wants,
Nonna gets.
BARBARA
The roll of the dice,
The roll of the dice,
The flip of the cards,
I love it all.
The risk,
The chance,
The odds.
Which is why I'm here again,
In over my head,
Drowning in debt,
With no clear way out.
But when a sexy, commanding mob boss makes me an offer.
I can't refuse.
After all,
It can't be that hard being married to the Brash
Boss.
But deals struck over money should never involve the
heart...

BITTER EDGE
BY ARIANA ROSE
He was sent
to put my body and dreams back together. Were they things I even wanted anymore?
Spencer
Broten was a pain in my backside from the moment we met.
I was
conned into going on a road trip with him. Within hours, I was realizing he
wasn't just my trainer. He was much more.
This
unnamed, unplanned winding road turned into us getting to know each other as we
truly were.
Two broken
bodies, two broken souls finding out we were more the same than different.
The line
between hate and love is a bitter edge.
Outside or
Inside.
Where will
we land?

Dear Ida,
The arrogant man
at the dry cleaners made my bad day worse.
So, the last
thing I expected was for him to offer me a job.
I shouldn’t have
accepted—not if I wanted to maintain my sanity.
But the allure of
a big paycheck overpowered my reservations.
Now, I know he’s
just as infuriating as a boss as he was the first day we met; yet, the sparks that
fly between us are far more than on a professional level.
The more time I
spend with him, helping him secure investors for his new restaurant chain, the
harder it is to ignore the attraction between us.
Playing with
fire, you’re bound to get burned.
And this man has
seared himself into my soul.
Tell me, Ida, is
there hope for our future, or is it impossible to really please this Tough
Customer?

COCKY JERK
BY JANINE INFANTE BOSCO
It was just a typical manic Monday until the blue and red lights flashed
behind my Harley. The cop who pulled me over was good-looking, if you’re into
clean cut guys with expressive eyes. He was also cocky and gave me three
tickets.
One for speeding.
Another for blowing a light.
And the third for not producing an insurance
card.
Jerk.
When he finally let me go, I realized I was
more than an hour late for my first day as an intern for the infamous advice
column, Ask Ida.
So much for trying to be the only one in my
family with a legit job.
Lucky for me, my new boss, Soraya, didn’t fire
me on the spot. But that’s where my luck ran out.
A couple of weeks later, in between fetching
coffee and finding the missing paperclips, I received a text message from my
dad, the president of the Corrupt Hellraisers MC, ordering me to the compound.
Yeah, try explaining that to your new boss.
Hey, I’ve gotta go. Everyone in my family is a
criminal and we’re all on lockdown.
You’re fired.
Sure enough when I arrived at the clubhouse,
everyone was in cuffs and the jerk who pulled me over was the one ushering my
father out of the clubhouse.
They say you never see the bad guys coming.
Well, I didn’t see the cocky jerk coming
either.

Jerk is part of the Cocky Hero Club and is inspired by Vi Keeland and
Penelope Ward's Stuck-Up Suit. You don't have to have read Stuck-Up Suit
to enjoy this one. Antonia is an interesting character. Her Dad is the
president of the Corrupt Hellraisers MC. He's protective of her. She's a
strong girl and has no problems standing up to anyone. She is a little
rough around the edges. On the day she is starting a new job, she gets
pulled over. Marco is the cop that pulled her over. He sexy and their
paths cross again. These two are good together. There bak and forth
banter is great. Antonia tries to keep the fact that Marco is a cop from
her dad and she tries to keep who her father is from Marco. When the
truth comes out things don't go so well and I was so hoping that they
could figure out a way to make everything work.

MISTER DIMPLES
BY LINDSAY BECS
Is it
possible to crush on a voice?
My favorite
thing to listen to is Juniper Love’s podcast show, Go, Sports!. Hearing her uninformed, teasing commentary on
every game she watches makes me laugh—even when it’s my team she’s talking
about. I might be her biggest fan.
I thought
Troy Tipton was just a nice guy with a gorgeous smile. Until I learned he was a fan-favorite NFL
star quarterback. The same one gracing
magazine covers with his irresistible dimples.
The same one I mock on my show.
When we
start dating, the explosive chemistry we share is impossible to ignore. But can
we keep our opposing careers from ruining what we have before we even
begin? Or will we let them destroy
everything good that’s between us?

Review by Gia:
Mister Dimples is a cute
read. It's part of the Cocky Hero Club and is inspired by Vi Keeland
and Penelope Ward's Mister Moneybags. You don't have to have read Mister
Moneybags to enjoy this one. I love Juniper. She is funny and sweet.
She ends up with a podcast called Go Sports! where she talks about
sports games that she has no idea about but that's what makes her
podcasts popular and fun. Troy is an NFL star quarterback and a fan
favorite, dubbed Mister Dimples. He loved Go Sports!. Juniper literally
runs into Troy and then their paths cross again. Se no nothing about him
being a football player and she's a breath of fresh air for him. These
two are so cute together. They do have some bumps in the relationship
road that they have to deal with.
5 Stars!!
BY MARIE JOHNSTON
The man in the magazine spread, the one dubbed
the most eligible bachelor, is my ex-husband.
Six months
ago, Simon’s company was never more successful, just like our marriage was
never emptier. I was a stay-at-home mom with a sugar daddy who had no time to
pass the sugar or be a daddy. I asked for a divorce and he let me go, just like
that.
Now I’m
mending my broken heart and finding myself while being a strong role model for
our girls. But when my mom gets sick, I need help, and he’s there like a
superhero in a tailored suit. And when my mom recovers, he’s still there, doing
grocery runs and braiding our girls’ hair.
I don’t
want to hang my hopes on my workaholic ex just because he’s suddenly wearing
basketball shorts instead of designer threads, or because he’s giving me that
look that melted my heart in college.
Chemistry
was never our problem. I don’t want to trust that he’s changed only find out
that once again I’m not worth fighting for. He needs to prove that he’ll be as
ruthless about us as he is in the boardroom.

The king
and queen of romance--Jenna Watson and Lorenzo Graham. The "dirty
duo" that makes you swoon, gets you hot and then melts your heart with the
happily ever after.
Two newbie
authors, one sketchy Instagram DM, a few phone calls, a drunken live video
plotting out our next best seller and then BOOM!
Trending
and on the radar of every publishing company in the industry, we make
it--together. A best seller list, two literary agents and we're cruising by for
the next year...until we don't.
Writer's
block hits and Lorenzo and I are forced to finally meet face to face,
retreating to a cabin in the woods all weekend to bang out our next big hit. I
don't think our agents wanted us to bang out each other but that's what
happens. Over and over again on every damn inch of that cabin. Turns out those
sexy scenes that Lorenzo writes have nothing on his real moves.
One weekend
and then we'll go back to being work partners, except nothing is the same.
It'll never be the same.

I’m sick of
following suit, doing everything my dad thinks I should. I’m my own woman, and
I know just how I’m going to prove it. I went through six years of college to
earn my master’s in business to please him, while I wanted a degree in interior
design, so I worked my tush off and received my bachelor’s in that too. Now
that I’m twenty-four, I’m going to do a one-eighty in my life and take a job I
never saw myself doing, just to please me. It really can’t be too hard to serve
food to people, make beds, and use a feather duster…can it? I’ll be sailing
away and forgetting all my worries. Or so I think, until I look up to see the
sexy captain, with his white hat on, step in front of me and I meet Reed
Nichols.
Growing up
while traveling the open seas made my decision to take over the family business
the easiest one I’ve ever had to make. After four years in college taking
accounting classes, I went after my true dream…a captain’s license. I always
knew I’d follow in my father’s footsteps; I just didn’t think it’d be this
soon. Right before he passed, he asked me to do just that and I’ve never looked
back. Right now, my life is perfect, just the way I want it. I run the company
my father founded and drive a million-dollar yacht every day. I pick and choose
who lies in my bed, and I’ve never allowed anyone there for more than a night
or two. No one has ever kept my attention any longer than that. Then I look
down to see the long legs of a cabin stewardess walking toward my boat and I
meet Maci Foster.

Review by Gia
Sexy Seaman is part of the Cocky Hero Club and is inspired by Vi Keeland
and Penelope Ward's Playboy Pilot. You don't have to have read Playboy
Pilot to enjoy this one. Reed is a captain of chartered yachts. What he
keeps a secret from most people is that he owns the SS Yachts company.
He's a nice guy. Maci has just graduated from college and her Dad wants
her to come work with him. She doesn't want to work with her Dad so she
buys some time getting a summer job working on Reed's boat. She really
wants to work in interior design. I liked Maci. She's a little over
her head but she a quick learner and a hard worker. There's a connection
between Reed and Maci. He's her boss so there is that issue and it
causes some sexual tension. I was wondering when she was going to find
out Reed was the company owner and how that would affect their
relationship. Overall, this one was a good read.

Kenlyn
Trusting others means taking risks, and that’s hard for me to do.
I mean, when your mother abandons you as a child, you’re left with scars.
I’m not reckless.
I’m not wild.
I play by the rules.
It’s safer that way.
Or so I thought…
Catching my boyfriend cheating on me confirmed every reason I’d kept my
heart guarded.
But being kissed by a sexy-as-sin stranger in front of him proved how
little I was in control.
It was passionate, electric, and it rocked me to my core.
He stole my breath but replaced it with anger.
I stormed away without so much as a name exchange.
When our paths cross again unexpectantly, he refuses to let me go this
time.
He inserts himself into my life so much, he becomes hard to ignore.
He makes me feel alive and pushes my limits.
He’s everything I’m not.
But he’s hiding something. And those secrets threaten to shatter me right
along with the trust I’ve started granting him.
Asher
I’m a tattoo artist. My life is fast, hard, and exciting. Just the way I
like it.
I’m reckless.
I’m wild.
I’m a rebel.
I live life on the edge.
My life was a revolving door of fun and women until a jaw-dropping beauty
caught her man cheating on her.
All I could think about was making sure he realized his mistake…and
rubbing it in his face.
I laid a kiss on her to rival all others.
But I wasn’t prepared for the kiss to knock me to my knees as she stormed
off without giving me her name.
When I run into her again a few weeks later, I’m determined not to let
her go.
The more I get to know her, the more I want her.
And the more she’s around, the more she realizes I come with secrets.
Ones I share with no one. Ever.
Her trust issues won’t allow me to keep things to myself.
It’s either bare my secrets or risk losing the only thing that makes me
truly happy.

Reckless
Rebel is part of the Cocky Hero Club and is inspired by Vi Keeland and
Penelope Ward's Stuck-Up Suit. You don't have to have read Stuck-Up Suit
to enjoy this one. Kenlyn and Asher are interesting characters that
will keep you turning the pages. Kenlyn is sweet and nice. She has some
baggage from the past. She more reserved and doesn't like to take risks.
Asher is a wild card. He's reckless but he's a good guy. He has a past
that he keeps secret. Both of them have things in their past that make
them think they aren't good enough. Sometimes, I wanted to shake some
sense into them and other times I wanted to give them a hug.
4 Stars!!
BY TONYA BROOKS
A past shrouded in secrets.
Memories tainted by lies.
One look and Ford Hammersmith was mesmerized,
Haunted by amethyst eyes.
Obsessed with a woman he doesn't remember… yet can't
forget.
The mysterious Callie Rose holds the secrets to his past,
The key to his future happiness.
His soul ravaged by the echo of love lost,
The heartless bastard will stop at nothing to reclaim her
heart.
A cruel twist of fate brought them back together,
Will a decade of pain and betrayal keep them apart?

Heartless Bastard is part
of the Cocky Hero Club and is inspired by Vi Keeland and Penelope
Ward's Stuck-Up Suit. You don't have to have read Stuck-Up Suit to enjoy
this one. This one is a crazy good read. Callie doesn't like Ford. She
calls him a heartless bastard but he doesn't seem to remember her. I
liked Callie right of the bat but Ford I didn't really like but then
secrets and twists come out and I liked Ford. There are a lot of secrets
and twists in this story. Both Callie and Ford have been to lied to and
manipulated and it's a little sad that time was taken from then. I
definitely was rooting for these two.
4 Stars!!
