A Compromise Me novel by USA Today bestselling author Samanthe Beck

Laurie Peterson assumes her impulsive one-night stand with sinfully sexy Sheriff Ethan Booker is the biggest surprise of the year…until her bakery burns down while she’s basking in the afterglow. It looks like her dreams are up in smoke, but then Ethan proposes a deal too tempting to resist. 

Ethan has no intention of settling for a one-night stand with Laurie. Nor does he want anything to do with the women his wealthy family wants him to meet. Not when he’s waited ten years for his chance to make his move. His deal might have strings—and Laurie may not know the stakes—but nothing will stop this sexy cop from staking a real claim on her body and her heart.

A rumored pirate and the scurrilous black sheep of his well-to- do family, Cade Cavendish relishes his world of rebellion, deception, and seduction. Nothing and no one can hold him to be the duty-bound, honorable man he is expected to be. But when an unexpected run-in at his twin brother s estate with a ravishing, raven-haired maid leads her to believe he s actually a viscount, Cade s renegade life is thrown wildly off-kilter. And even though a case of mistaken identity can be quickly set to rights, matters of the heart are quite different

Miss Danielle LaCrosse is startled to learn that the handsome gentleman who radiates sin and has the devil in his eyes is not her employer the Viscount, but rather his infamous brother. A former heiress, orphaned and left penniless, Danielle has more than a few secrets of her own. Cade may be skilled at coaxing even the most hidden desires out of Danielle but can he earn her trust and win her heart as they embark on an adventure to confront a dangerous enemy from both of their pasts . . . and uncover the identity of the so-called Black Fox along the way?

Don't you just hate it when someone destroys all your carefully made plans?

I mean, I had goals: college to graduate in one semester, a future I was working hard to reach, and an image of myself I wanted the world to see. My life was stacked into these precisely placed blocks. But then Colton Gamble came along and knocked them all askew.

I hated how he messed everything up, how he could hog all my attention whenever he was around, how he made my pulse quicken--but only because he ticked me off...not because I was attracted to him. Oh! And I hated how he knew how attractive he was too, the shallow, full of himself, doesn't take no for an answer, too-flirty, too cocky, extremely irritating jerk.

The boy had all the qualities that turned me off. Or so I thought.

One night he wasn't quite the brainless, over-confident jerk I usually took him for.

One night, he took care of me when I was at my lowest. He opened up to me and made me open up to him.

Now I'm learning maybe he's not what I first thought he was. And maybe I'M not what I first thought I was. Maybe it’s okay to rearrange a couple of my perfectly set blocks. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll stop worrying about what I’m afraid everyone else will think and finally reach for something I really want. It’s possible some of my plans need to be destroyed, and Colton Gamble is exactly the kind of mess I need in my life.

What do you think? Should I give him a try?

Desperately seeking your advice,

In the sixth novel of the enchanting Rhymes With Love series from New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Boyle, a nobleman falls in love with a beautiful spy he must protect…

Lord Rimswell is a man of honor and absolutes. If he says something is impossible, it is. Yet his life of right and wrong is turned upside down when he finds himself in a compromising situation with the most unyielding, yet maddeningly beautiful, woman in London. If only he had not given in to the irresistible temptation to kiss her. Now he must marry her. 

Miss Roselie Stratton is the very definition of impossible—headstrong, outspoken, and carrying a reticule of secrets that could ruin more than her reputation. Kissing Brody is hardly the most ruinous thing Roselie has ever done as a secret agent for the Home Office…nor will she let a marriage of convenience stop her from continuing her work. Little does Roselie realize that she has underestimated Brody's resolve to keep her safe—for he has hopelessly fallen in love with her and is determined to do the impossible by stealing her heart in return.

Perfect for fans of Alice Clayton and Emma Chase, Lauren Layne’s Oxford series heats up in this story of forbidden desire as a brooding jock hoping for a comeback falls for a woman who’s strictly off-limits.

A year ago, Jackson Burke was married to the love of his life and playing quarterback for the Texas Redhawks. Now he’s retired, courtesy of the car accident that ruined his career—and single, after a nasty scandal torpedoed his marriage. Just as he’s starting to get used to his new life as a health and fitness columnist for Oxford magazine, his unpredictable ex shows up on his doorstep in Manhattan. Jackson should be thrilled. But he can’t stop thinking about the one person who’s always been there for him, the one girl he could never have: her younger sister.

Mollie Carrington can’t say no to Madison. After all, her older sister practically raised her. So when Madison begs for help in winning her ex-husband back, Mollie’s just glad she got over her own crush on Jackson ages ago—or so she thought. Because as Mollie reconnects with Jackson, she quickly forgets all her reasons to stay loyal to her sister. Tempted by Jackson’s mellow drawl and cowboy good looks, Mollie is sick and tired of coming in second place. But she can’t win if she doesn’t play the game.

Dark Protector by Katie Reus (Review)

If you have read the previous Moon Shifter books you will recognize a few of characters. If you haven't and you are new to this series, it's okay you will be fine reading this book by itself. However, it's better read as a whole.

Now the story focuses on Aldric Kazan and Natalie Cordona. Now these two were started to form a bond, but Aldric chicken out. He didn't feel like he could handle the responsibility of another's life. Now his wolf was having issues with this. Natalie has been waiting for Aldric to get back to her, but she's fed up and decided it was time to move on. However, Jayce realize his brother was making the same stupid mistake as his did, decided he need to intervene. Good times.

Anyway, Aldric, Natalie, and the others are trying to figure out what is going on, before a war breaks out between one vampire coven and a wolf pack. Boy that would get ugly. Anyway, Dark Protector is a pretty good read. I enjoyed the story and the little bit of romance. I always enjoyed Katie books, because she manages to make the bad guy pretty crazy and Dark Protector is no exception. I was thinking it was someone else, but I was wrong. So, if you are in the mood for a little suspence with a dash of wolves you might give Dark Protector a go.

If Santa were a Cowboy by Melissa Cutler (Review)

Seriously adorable, fun read. Oh my, talk about hitting a funny bone. In If Santa were a Cowboy, we find Paul Savage and Kelly Walker. They were friends in school, and Paul had a huge crush on Kelly. However, Paul always thought she was out of his league. Little did he know, she kind of return the favor, but didn't handle it too well. Basically, them parting ways. Now Kelly needs a life reboot after her disaster of the "Year of Yes". First off, the Year of Yes sounds like a terrible idea to begin. Kelly has decided to see Paul and try to seduce him, thinking it would be totally easy. 😂😂😂 To bad, she didn't take into consideration that people change after high school, and now her task seems daunting.

Overall, If Santa were a Cowboy was a nice touch to get me into the holiday spirit. Not only that this quick read got me out of my reading slump. These two are fun to read.

Big Package by Opal Carew is not going to be for everyone. However, if you love hot, steamy, and a little fun Opal is your gal. Now in this holiday read you are going to find some naughty elves, and other big packages. Basically, Kallen and Holly knew each other from high school. Kallen kind like Holly, but she was kind of shy. He also had a big problem when it came to girls, but now they are all grown up Holly is willing to take on this big guy.

Fairly quick read, with some serious hot times stuck in cabin during a snow storm. I did like Big Package, because there is a little story that goes along with the hot times. We watch these two get it on in more ways than one. They both have insecurities that cause a little ripple in the budding relationship. So, if you are in the need of a hot Christmas read, Big Package is your read.

A love that neither can deny…

The duke has a single summer to woo his wife and convince her that, despite their broken past, he can give her forever, making every day The Day of the Duchess.
