EXCERPT REVEAL BUTTERFACE

Butterface, a fun and sexy romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author Avery Flynn, is coming July 30th!

Synopsis

Looks aren’t everything.

It’s true. I’m not what most people would call “pretty” and, well, high school was rough. Fast forward ten years and life is good…

Until a bunch of jerks think it’s hilarious to put the “butterface” (AKA me) on a wedding Kiss Cam with the hottest guy ever—and that old humiliation hits hard.

I recognize him immediately. The hottest cop in Waterbury and totally out of my league.

But then he kisses me.

And we totally forget the room, the crowd, everything.

Then he tells everyone we’ve been dating for months.

Soon everything starts to feel too real, from adorable fights over “necessary” tools to fix my broken porch to surviving a free-for-all dinner with his six siblings to picking up where our last kiss left off.

But there’s something he’s not telling me about why he’s really hanging around, and I’m pretty sure it has to do with my mob-connected brothers.

Because this is not a makeover story, and Cinderella is only a fairy tale…

Excerpt:

“Do not disrespect the Kiss Cam, Hartigan!” someone bellowed out as the chanting crowd grew more restless. And louder.

“One quick kiss,” he said, his tone grim with a thread of something more vulnerable underneath. “Then, they’ll leave us alone.”

That’s when Gina’s gaze moved from her own face, blotchy with embarrassment on the screen, over to him. The tips of his ears were scarlet, and he was tapping the tips of his middle finger and thumb together like he was keeping rhythm for a ska band.

He was hiding it better, but the reality was he wasn’t enjoying this anymore than she was.

Glancing from the screen to the actual man himself, her lungs tightened. He was a big guy, and she wasn’t just talking about his broad shoulders that filled out his tux to a mouthwatering degree. He had to have at least four inches on her own five foot ten.

He glanced down, making eye contact, and for a second they weren’t the hottie and the nottie. They were two people stuck in a completely socially awkward situation that they had no control over.

She nibbled the inside of her cheek and considered her options before deciding that Ford was right. A quick peck would get the videographer out of their faces and divert the boisterous crowd’s attention to another couple happier to indulge in this bit of insanity. Then, she could finish up the last of her duties and go home to her peaceful, if totally messy, mid-renovation Victorian.

She let out a shaky breath, not sure she was making the right decision. “Fine. A kiss. Whatever.”

Gina had barely gotten the words out when his large hands cupped her face, sending electric shock waves through her that made her lips part slightly with surprise. He dipped his head down—and he kissed her.

The roar of approval from the crowd faded to almost nothing when he seemed to groan involuntarily. Her body approved and made an answering sound of its own. At her encouragement, his tongue slicked across her bottom lip, and her mind lost all reasonable thought. Teasing her senses and sending her heartbeat into overdrive, she softened against him, practically melting against his hard, muscular chest. Somewhere in the back of her mind she registered that people were cheering. She just couldn’t for the life of her care. The world turned electric as the air practically vibrated against her skin as he deepened the kiss. His tongue swept against hers in a brief but oh-so-potent move that had her clutching his lapel before she’d even realized she’d lifted her hands.

Then, almost as soon as it began, he lifted his head and stepped back, breaking the connection.

Dazed, she released his tuxedo jacket and looked around, catching sight of herself on the giant screen. Her face was flushed and her eyes hazy. She pressed her fingers to her still-tingling lips. She looked like a woman who’d been kissed senseless, which made sense because that was exactly what had just happened.

About Avery

USA Today bestselling romance author Avery Flynn has three slightly-wild children, loves a hockey-addicted husband and is desperately hoping someone invents the coffee IV drip.

She fell in love with romance while reading Johanna Lindsey’s Mallory books. It wasn’t long before Avery had read through all the romance offerings at her local library. Needing a romance fix, she turned to Harlequin’s four books a month home delivery service to ease the withdrawal symptoms. That worked for a short time, but it wasn’t long before the local book stores’ staffs knew her by name.

Avery was a reader before she was a writer and hopes to always be both. She loves to write about smartass alpha heroes who are as good with a quip as they are with their *ahem* other God-given talents. Her heroines are feisty, fierce and fantastic. Brainy and brave, these ladies know how to stand on their own two feet and knock the bad guys off theirs.

ROCK LEGEND (NOTHING BUT TROUBLE #2)

I'm no Prince Charming.

Most people know me as the drummer for Nothing but Trouble. Depending who you ask, I'm also a playboy, a loner, the life of the party, a screw-up, or according to my fans, "The Sexiest Rock Star on the Planet." Apparently, I'm a legend.

Am I surprised? Hell, no. It's a reputation I've earned behind my drum kit and behind closed doors. No one thought foster kid Landon Cox would become famous. Infamous, maybe. Notorious, probably. But successful? Never. No one except Piper Hastings. But I had to make a choice: my woman or my career. I picked fame and fortune... and spent every damn day since pretending I don't regret it.

Now fate's dropped Piper back into my life. I want to believe it's a second chance for me - for us. But while I can give her a few great nights, I can't give Piper a future.

Because there's a difference between a legend and a fairy tale...
Only one of them ends happily ever after. 

Release Date: July 17, 2018

Nikki’s Review:

I'm blown away. Really fucking blown away! Can I just tell you to buy the book and read it? Because seriously, this book will more than likely end up on my top 5 favourites of 2018.

Tara Leigh is a new to me author. I read the first book in this series, Rock King, and I adored it. But this book has now made Ms. Leigh an auto read for me! 

Landon Cox has fame and money. He's the drummer for the wildly popular band, Nothing But Trouble. Despite having the world at his feet, he's not content, and he's far from happy. He numbs his life with booze, drugs, and women...a lot of women. But there's one woman in particular that he's never forgotten and wants back desperately, Piper Hastings.

Man, I loved these two together. I loved the chemistry and push and pull between them. The love scenes lit up the damn pages; seriously smokin' hot! 

Piper and Landon both have their share of baggage and drama in their lives. But what drew me in and convinced me they could work past the bad stuff, was their absolute need for each other. It was like they were each other's oxygen. I could feel the love between them...even when they didn't want to admit it!

I appreciated the realness of Landon's rock star lifestyle. The author didn't sugar coat the substance abuse or the journey to recovery. 

The writing was beyond stellar. Admittedly, first person POV isn't my favourite, but Tara Leigh's writing pulled me in so much that I didn't even pay attention to that. I loved that you got both of the characters perspectives.

I'm not sure I can do this book justice with my review, but I hope I've convinced you to give this series a go. While this book can be read as a stand alone, do yourself a favour and start with book #1, Rock King. Trust me, you don't want to miss Shane's story. He's cocky and too sexy for his own good!

THE RISKY HEARTS DUET COVER REVEAL

We are so excited to be sharing with you not one, but two new covers for Candace Knoebel's Risky Hearts duet. If you love contemporary romance, you're not going to want to miss TEN REASONS TO STAY and FIVE REASONS TO GO this fall!

TEN REASONS TO STAY - August 30, 2018

One day a week—Thursdays—my husband and I could do whatever or whomever we pleased.

Protection was non-negotiable.

And no matter what, we had to be home by midnight. 

Jack was the one who wanted an open marriage, but we were supposed to keep things simple. No strings. No commitments. It seemed so easy…until it wasn’t.

Devilishly handsome Cole Blackwater was only supposed to be a flight, but everything about him made me feel alive. Wanted. Seen. When I realized he was my husband’s boss, I should have broken things off right then…but I didn’t.

One day a week, I could pretend that I was his and he was mine…until Cole wanted more.

But how could I decide between the man I’d promised to love, honor, and cherish, and the man who tempted me to break every single vow I’d made?

The Sullivans #18

Contemporary Romance

Liza's Review:

I’ve wanted Harry Sullivan’s book forever! While I love all of his siblings and have loved each of their books, I knew that Harry’s would be the one I would want the most from the moment we met him. Let me just say that Every Time We Fall In Love was more than worth the wait!

Harry met the woman of his dreams when he was a freshman in college. Molly fell just as hard for Harry. However, this was a time in his life when he had to take care of everyone else in his family. He had to make sure Drake and Suzanne finished high school, Alec stayed on track, and his father didn’t do anything to hurt himself. Sadly even though Harry loved Molly with everything in him, he broke up with her over being pulled in too many directions by his family.

When Amelia Connal shows up on Harry’s doorstep 16 years later, he recognizes her as Molly’s daughter on sight, but is completely surprised to discover he is her father. Amelia was such a fun teenager. She was smart and talented and goes after what she wants. I loved that Harry and the entire Sullivan clan immediately accepted Amelia as a member of the family. I also loved that Harry finally had a reason to get in contact with Molly. I have to say I was really surprised at first that Molly had never tried to get in touch with Harry, but after her explanation, I completely understood her reasoning. I won’t lie; I cried a few happy tears once they found out they were really a family.

I loved that both Harry and Molly had never fallen in love with anyone else in all the years they were apart. There is just something about a couple knowing early in life they have met their soul mates that give me all the feels. Harry and Molly were that couple. They still had a connection all these years later and they still had chemistry simmering between them. I loved they really couldn’t keep their hands off each other and quickly started back up with a physical relationship. Their lovemaking was so beautiful and hot at the same time. 

I also love that Harry’s family owned up to their part in causing the break up between Harry and Molly and they never gave her a hard time for keeping Amelia away, especially once they learned her reason. I have to say, I’ve loved seeing William Sullivan come more and more back to life in each of the books, and I knew it would take Harry finding happiness to make it so. I absolutely cried happy tears as he finally became the father he always wanted to be to his kids.

Every Time We Fall In Love might just be my most favorite book in the Sullivan family series. I’m a sucker for a reunion romance and it was done perfectly. I fall more and more in love with the Sullivan family with each new book, and am super excited to see we will get more stories with the Maine cousins in the future.
