Rowan Lively is the neighbor from hell, with a parade of beautiful women only too happy to stroke his inflated ego. And I can’t take another night of listening to him making those noises through the paper-thin walls. I need to design my latest board game, not fantasize about my gorgeous neighbor.

Anonymous fun with a costumed hottie at a gaming conference is a sexy distraction from terrible online reviews and conflicts with my creative team. I’m craving a physical release to put Rowan out of my mind. Until our true identities are revealed, and I find myself in a compromising position with my neighborly nemesis…

Now I can barely look Rowan in the eye, and the sparks between us are hot enough to burn down the building. Soon we’re waking the neighbors with our passionate games and working together on a new exhibit for his Melbourne art gallery. And even though I know the score—this is just a fling—I can’t help wondering…will he ever play for keeps?

 

Delightfully wicked, yet bittersweet. With the final book in her highly addictive Close Quarters series Stefanie London had one last pairing to weave into our hearts and she did it gloriously. I hate to see the series come to an end, but I have adored every single minute of getting to know the characters at 21 Love Street and taking part in their happily ever afters.

Emery is delightful. She’s smart and successful and doesn’t hesitate to live her life her way with spice and pizzazz while holding her head high and not taking attitude from anyone.

Rowan is playful and self-assured and hooked me immediately. He has a persona to uphold, but he’s got a whole lot of heart beneath the surface that makes him even more endearing.

I highly recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who loves a steamy romance filled with easy to like characters, witty humor and charm and combustible chemistry galore. This series is a whole lot of fun!

She’s been proposed to five times.
Five.
She even said yes to one of them.
And then broke his heart when she called it off. Not to mention her mother’s heart. And her grandmother’s. And his mother’s. And…you get the picture.

Paige Asher has now officially sworn off all dating. Diamonds give her hives.
All she wants is to be a yoga-doing, cat-collecting, vegetarian in peace. Away from her marriage-crazy family and all their expectations.

So when her weekend fling turns into a real friend and offers her a place to escape, she finds herself on his doorstep in Louisiana. And right in the middle of not just one family wedding, but three. Of course.

Charming, sexy bayou boy Mitch Landry gets stuff done. Whatever anyone needs. From alligator-sitting to getting a buddy drunk to showing a woman a good time to fixing a swamp boat, he’s the man. No problem. No drama.

But he wants a hell of a lot more from Paige than a temporary friends-with-benefits arrangement. He wants to take care of her. And her five cats. He also really wants other men to stop asking her to marry them.

But if a roommate and a few orgasms are all she wants, that’s what he’ll deliver.

He can just be her friend and not commit the greatest sin of all…asking her for forever.

Probably.

  Adorable, sexy and fun! With book six in her much loved Boys of the Bayou series Erin Nicholas brings us the conclusion of Paige and Mitch’s story and it did not disappoint. Their story began in OH, FUDGE a novella in her Hot Cakes series and picked right up where it left off in this book. The characters are lively and fun and the storyline is upbeat and satisfying. Really fun read!

Paige is the epitome of a commitment phobe. She’s up for a good time any day of the week, but don’t ask her for forever or she’ll be gone in a flash. She has a good heart, and being in Louisiana with a close-knit family other than her own gives her a fresh perspective.

Mitch is the best guy around. He’s sweet, he’s sexy and he adores his family. I couldn’t love him more.

I highly recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who loves a bit of shenanigans mixed into your feel good romance with a loud boisterous family joining in every step of the way.

Excerpt

“Goodnight, Paige,” he finally said.

“Goodnight, Mitch.”

They still just stood looking at each other.

“You need to go to your room,” he said, his voice a little tight.

“I will. You too.”

“Yeah, but—” He sighed. “You’re right by my door.”

She looked at the closed bedroom door again. And smiled. “I guess I am.” She didn’t want to torture the guy. He was trying to be noble. Or something. But she wouldn’t deny that she liked that resisting her would be difficult.

“You need to move away from my bedroom door, Paige.” His voice was a little gruffer.

“You’re in my way of getting to my bedroom too,” she pointed out.

“But are you tempted to throw me over your shoulder and say to hell with all of your good intentions? Already? Within twenty minutes of deciding you even have good intentions?”

She laughed even as warmth filled her. Not just heat. Not lusty heat anyway. But a feel-good warmth that she didn’t quite understand. But she liked it. “Kind of.”

He swallowed hard. Then said, “Go to bed, Paige.”

She moved to the right, away from his door.

As he came forward, she playfully pressed her back against the far wall.

He smiled, in spite of himself, and went to his bedroom door. He twisted the knob but paused and looked over at her. She inched her way toward her bedroom, still against the wall. When she got to her door she reached for the knob and shot him a smile.

“Goodnight, Mitch.”

“’Night.”

“And I’m just right here if you have any night time needs. Bad dreams.” She paused. “Good dreams.”

“Stop it.”

“Stop what? Just being a good friend.” She grinned.

“My dreams might include white dresses and tuxes,” he warned.

Again, no sense of oh shit. Instead she tipped her head. “You’re pretty good at bringing all of that up without asking the four-word question.”

He didn’t comment on that. “See you in the morning.”

“Okay.” She gave him another smile, then slipped into her room, feeling his eyes still on her until the door shut. She slumped against it, pressing her hand to her stomach.

Dammit.

She really liked him.

It was really too bad they weren’t going to kiss anymore.
