She wants a career and a baby…

Can her sexy boss give her both?

Darby Brogan has goals: single motherhood and a successful career. And she won’t be distracted…even if rival architect Judah Huntley is the stuff of fantasies. But when Darby accepts a job with Judah, there are strings—caring for the baby on his doorstep! But when playing house gets hot and heavy, will temporary turn into having it all?

A delicious man and an adorable baby … just what she’s been looking for! With the next book in her Love in Boston series, Joss Wood brings us Darby Brogan’s story. We’ve delighted in seeing her twin sister and her best friend find their happily ever afters previously in the series, and now it’s time to see if Darby can make the cut into single motherhood with her high profile career. Just when she’s poised for a change, opportunity comes knocking and offers her a deal she can’t refuse … and in the end, all of her dreams just might come true!

Architect Darby Brogan is loving her life partnered with her twin sister Jules and best friend DJ in business. There’s only one thing missing to make her complete. The baby she’s always yearned for. She thought she’d be settled down and have a husband at her side at this point in her life, but since that aspect hasn’t worked out and she’s running out of time, she plans to forge into her dreams all on her own.

Architect Judah Huntley is back in his hometown of Boston on a temporary nature, but when he lands the sought after project he was looking for, he needs to hire a liaison to do the every day organization for him, and Darby seems an obvious choice. When he all of a sudden finds himself saddled with a baby to look after, he needs her more for that than anything! Falling under the spell of a sexy man and an adorable baby might be the craziest thing Darby has ever done … but in the end, she’s got it bad!

* Review * BLAME IT ON CHRISTMAS by Janice Maynard

I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.

Blame It On Christmas by Janice Maynard

All she wants for Christmas…

is to make him beg!

After he broke her heart, Mazie Tarleton is definitely immune to the charms of J.B. Vaughan. Now she has him right where she wants him and it’s payback time—until a moment of white-hot desire takes them both by surprise! Suddenly, revenge is getting complicated. Maybe she can just say yes to a holiday fling…or is she already in way too deep?

A really fun holiday read! A sexy twist on a former friends/enemies to lovers story line brings Janice Maynard’s Southern Secrets miniseries to life! The characters are attention grabbing, successful business people and the past they share makes for built-in groundwork leading into her resentment towards him from the start. I look forward to getting her brother’s story soon!

Mazie Tarleton has never forgiven family friend J.B. Vaughan for breaking her teenage heart years ago, so now when he wants something from her for a change, she’s having a lot of fun stringing him along and refusing to give it to him.

J.B. actually liked Mazie a lot back then, but she was young and he knew it wasn’t a good time or place to act on their attraction … now however, now would be a good time! Spending time with her to get her to consider his business offer should be trivial, but every moment in her presence results in stronger feelings. When all is said and done, will they be able to walk away from each other?
