It's true, Wes is well-endowed.
But everything else is a huge misunderstanding...

Wes Evans, son of Broadway royalty, just wants to achieve something without riding his family's coattails. Too bad the whole world is talking about his sex life after the notorious Bad Bachelors app dubs him "The Anaconda". But when he sees a talented ballet dancer, he knows she is exactly what he needs to make his show a success.

Remi Drysdale only had one thought when she fled Australia for New York—never mix business with pleasure again. Ever. Working with Wes is the perfect chance to reclaim her career. Remi promises herself not to tangle with the guy who holds her career in his hands...no matter how enticing his reviews are on the Bad Bachelors app.

The Bad Bachelor app strikes again! With the second book in the series, we meet a guy who’s getting raving reviews about the size of his … package! He’s finding it hard to conduct business and get any respect in the industry when he’s the talk of the town. He meets Remi by happenstance, but the second he sees her dance, he sees the potential of a star and will stop at nothing to get her to agree to do his show. Along the way they start to fall for each other though … and she doesn’t have a great history of mixing business with pleasure!

Wes Evans has spent his life living in the shadow of his Broadway royal parents. He is finally taking a chance on himself and stepping out to produce a production of his very own, and wants to make sure it’s a success. When he sees a dancer performing off the cuff, he realizes she would be perfect for the lead!

Remi Drysdale has been in New York for a few years now, but after the debacle she made of her life back in Australia, she hasn’t trusted herself to shine as a ballerina here. When Wes approaches her about an audition for his show, she’s torn. She wants to shine on stage again … but she’s also attracted to him, and if that dating app scandal has any truth to it, she could have an amazing time with him! … will she decide to take a chance at getting her career back one step at a time?

Sparks fly when the hot-shot divorce lawyer meets the high-powered wedding planner. The only question is, what kind?

If you ever get married, remember my name: Max Henderson. In my line of work, you acquire a certain perspective on supposedly everlasting unions. . . .

1. Pre-nups are your friend.
2. The person you married is not the person you’re divorcing.
3. And I hope you didn’t spend much on the wedding because that was one helluva waste of hard-earned cash, wasn’t it?

But some guys are willing to take a chance. Like my brother, who thinks he’s going to ride off into the sunset with the woman of his dreams in a haze of glitter on unicorns. And the wedding planner—the green-eyed beauty who makes a living convincing suckers to shell out thousands of dollars on centerpieces—is raking it in on this matrimonial monstrosity.

The thing is, Charlie Love is not unlike me. We’re both cogs in the wedding-industrial complex. As the best man, I know her game—and I can play it better than her. But after one scorching, unexpected kiss, I’m thinking I might just want to get played.

Opposites attract and chemistry explodes! With the latest series from Kate Meader, she gives a quirky twist on rom-com a try … and doesn’t disappoint! Her characters are fresh and entertaining, the story line was attention grabbing enough to entrench us quickly and keep us entertained throughout. I will admit to loving the drama of her sexy firefighters and hockey players slightly more, but I can dig the rom-com on occasion.

Max Henderson makes his living based on the ugly side of love. As a prestigious divorce attorney, he’s seen just how bad it can get between two people who swore to be each other’s everything just a short time ago. He’s cynical enough about the institution of marriage that you’ll never see him anywhere near it!

Wedding planner Charlie Love just happens to be planning a wedding that he is going to want to be involved in. He might not agree with it all for himself, but he’s going to have to bite his tongue and agree to the things she and the bride and groom plan. Along the way, an attraction flares between the two of them and he just might find himself looking forward a forever after all when it’s all said and done.

As the snow falls, her touch sets him aflame…

“I don’t want you to leave.”

Texas billionaire Chase Ferguson has one regret: leaving Miriam Andrix to protect her from his public life. When a snowstorm strands her in his mountain mansion, their passion reignites, and it’s too hot to resist! But reality—and scandal—arrives with the thaw. Chase turned his back on happiness once. Will he fight for what he truly wants this time?

Reunited … and forced to straighten out the past! With the next book in the Dallas Billionaire’s Club series, we get Chase’s story. He’s living the powerful life he was born to lead, but he’s missing the person that brought a part of him to life that he’s never experienced again. When circumstances bring him face to face with Mimi again, he can’t let the opportunity pass him by! The story was fast paced and attention grabbing, with a couple I was rooting for from the beginning!

Dallas mayor Chase Ferguson has one regret in life, and that’s pushing the woman that he loved away. He knew she wasn’t cut out for the political life that he was heading into, so he sacrificed their love to set her free.

Miriam Andrix has never forgiven Chase for the ruthless way she perceived him dumping her without a second thought. Now she’s suddenly standing stranded in a snowstorm with nowhere to go but into his house. It doesn’t take long for the passion between them to flare again, but with the history they share, will they ever be able to make a relationship work again?
