Dangling... Participle?

2018

Katie: I really needed to get serious and concentrate on my writing, but the barista behind the counter at my fav coffee shop is not making it easy. The guy is drop dead gorgeous. I’m talking six-pack abs, broad chest, and oozing sex appeal. In other words, way out of my league! Then he finds my flash drive and reads the start of my book! I want to die. I’m a nice girl. Really, I am, but I have very naughty thoughts. When I discover he’s actually a famous writer and offers to help, how can I say no? His help means I might actually escape my demonic boss, and living with my evil twin sisters (no lie! I’m talking straight out of f\\king Cinderella evil). But just how far am I willing to let him go when I stumble over the love scenes? Jaxson: I’ve never seen anyone with worse fashion sense than Katie. But as she sat at one of the tables in the coffee shop, laptop open, she removed those god-awful black glasses and nibbled her bottom lip. Then she smiled and transformed before my eyes. I want her. Can’t have her. She’s not that type. Then I find and read her flash drive and discover there’s a whole other side to her beneath those baggy clothes and ugly glasses. She only needs a little help. Especially with her love scenes. I should probably keep the relationship strictly platonic. Nope, not going to happen. This is book one in a brand new series of steamy, contemporary romantic comedies from USA Today bestselling author Karen Kelley.

Take a Hike!

2018

Nash: I like my salsa the same way I like my women—hot! But nothing can prepare me for Makenna. She’s stubborn, reckless, and lives for the challenge. Oh hell, she reminds me of me. I have a feeling moving her to the more experienced group of hikers bound for the backcountry is a bad idea, but I can’t come up with a reason not to. Makenna: Not touch his salsa? I’ll prove to Nash that I can handle anything he can dish out. I admit, I didn’t expect his salsa to be habanero hot. So what do I do? I eat a little more! Sometimes I don’t think before I act, but I will not back down from a challenge. Tell me I can’t do something and I’m all over it. But when unexplained accidents start to happen, the small group suddenly faces challenges they hadn't expected.

Nailed It!

2019

Samantha: When I barged into the adjoining bedroom early the next morning, I naturally expected to see my best friend, not the very naked man with a dragon tat curling around one muscular arm, or that he would make an offhand remark about my very sheer nightie. Ryder Hayes is a smart ass, definitely no gentleman, and I never want to see him again! Except he’s the best man, and I’m the maid of honor. I’m pretty sure he’ll ruin my idea of a fairytale wedding for my best friend. Ryder: Samantha is hot! As soon as I saw her in that nearly see-through nightie, I knew I wanted her. But she has my number: I’m a confirmed bachelor, and plan to stay that way. She’s all about finding Mr. Right. Maybe I can convince her to have fun with Mr. Wrong until he comes along? Yeah, I’ll be her sex toy, and she won’t even need to change my batteries.

Rescue Me

2019

Fiera: I came to Texas for one reason—closure. But I don’t know if I have the courage to face my past, to finally say good bye when my heart feels as if it’s splintering into thousands of tiny pieces. New town. New job. I’m a damned good paramedic. I don’t want to be your friend. I don’t do close relationships. I just want to do my job. But dammit, Layne is breaking past all my carefully erected barriers. How many times can I be hurt without it destroying me? He makes me feel things I don’t want to feel. He makes me feel alive. Layne: Just because I’m a paramedic doesn’t mean I have to fix everyone, but when Fiera hires on, I can tell she’s broken, even though she hides behind a tough exterior. I certainly don’t want to get involved in anything long-term. I should stay away. Keep my distance. Yeah sure, like that’s going to happen when she’s pushing all the right buttons. She’s sexy and she’s beautiful…and she needs help. I have a feeling I won’t be her knight in shining armor, though. But as Fiera begins to unravel her past, she uncovers secrets and betrayals. Will she be able to face the lies that surround her? At times intense, but with moments that will make you laugh out loud, and others that tug at your heartstrings. Rescue Me can be a standalone book in the Hayes Brothers series, #4, but it’s still better when you read them in order.
