I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.

When Mercedes Kimball’s sister abandons her children, Mercedes takes in her confused niece and nephew, jeopardizing the job she loves at a retirement community. The sexy new handyman’s bedroom eyes promise to fix anything, but he can’t fix this.

L.C. Fogarty is trash, not Father Of The Year, but he’s happy to be Mercedes’s sounding board. Given their white-hot attraction, he’d love to see what they could do to a headboard, but he’s keeping a secret she won’t forgive. Confessing means facing untold heartache and going back to where he never belonged. He’d rather stay with Mercedes and her misfit family.

She might not get to keep that family, though. Which means she’s going to need him.

Such a great story!!  I so want more!  How about another book or two?  I could really enjoy seeing Mercerdes & L.C. again … maybe in Zack’s story … and Porsha’s story??? 🙂  I adored seeing them overcome their past to actually get a life they deserved!

When Mercedes Kimball’s sister decides to take a “vacation” from her kids, she’s left with no option but to take them in and make her life work around them.  It might end up getting her fired from her job at the retirement community that she loves, but she can’t just stand by and watch while these kids are neglected!

L.C. Fogarty winds up crossing paths with Mercedes through happenstance, and the red-hot attraction they both feel instantly is not easy to ignore!  He takes the job of a temporary handyman, and they become friends.  He doesn’t think he’s worth much in life, but she seems to take some comfort from bouncing problems off of him and getting his opinion, so he’s happy to help her if he can.

Mercedes might lose her ready-made family any day if her sister comes back, but L.C. enjoys sharing times with them more than he wants to deal with his own family issues.  As they grow closer and secrets from his past come out, will she want to have anything more to do with him?

Stand-alone Crossroads romance, complete with HEA—and plenty of heat and heart along the way!

Former Army Ranger and cyber security specialist Nate Holmes was a genius in all things computers. The sexy, muscled Adonis could fix any technical problem he was faced with, but when it came to matters of the heart, there was one issue he couldn’t face…how he felt about her…

He thought he’d missed his chance, she thought she'd never had one. After ten years, fate had finally reunited Nate and Eliza, but the question remains--what do you do when you get a chance to get it right this time? Will Nate have the courage and heart to claim her and…All He Desires...

Another great trip to Harper’s Crossing!  An un-requited love (or was it?) reunion story that will grab your attention and hold it.  I found myself wanting to grab them and bang their heads together a time or two because they kept misunderstanding something the other said or did, but I was pulling for them to finally get their chance once and for all!  Great characters!  Fun, steamy and downright sweet.

Eliza Young left her hometown of Harper’s Crossing, Illinois 10 years ago to reach for her dreams and find her happily-ever-after, but no matter how much she tried, it just never seemed to work out that way, so now she’s back and starting her life over!

Former Army Ranger, turned security specialist, Nate Holmes can’t believe it when he sees her.  He spent his life unable to forget her and thinking he had missed his chance forever.  Will he finally get to tell her how he’s always felt about her, or will past secrets and mistakes keep them apart?

Winning is nonnegotiable…and so is parenthood!

Marketing exec Trinity Forrester needs PR buzz. By-the-books baseball tycoon Logan McLaughlin needs ticket sales. Their plan is simple: embark on a pretend romance to boost publicity. But soon their reality-show kisses lead to explosive off-camera lovemaking…

Trinity knows her fling with her frustratingly handsome costar ends when the cameras stop rolling—not with a diamond ring and proposal. But when their fake romance yields a very real pregnancy, will the emotionally guarded duo choose winning…or wedding?

With the final story in her Love and Lipstick series, Kat Cantrell brings us Trinity’s story.  I’ve loved them all, but I think Trinity was my favorite.  Her connection with Logan is super fun to read. They tease and taunt each other and she’s such a firecracker that I was smiling half the book!  I’m going to miss these gals … I really enjoyed seeing their happy endings!

When bad publicity and lacking ticket sales lead Fyra Cosmetics exec Trinity Forrester and baseball tycoon Logan McLaughlin to join the cast of a reality show competition to get their names “out there”, little do they know how well it’s going to work out for them!  A fake romance is in the works and both of their sales are sky rocketing for it!

When what they are feeling for each other no longer feels fake, will they admit their true feelings and decide to make it real?  And when an unexpected pregnancy pops into the mix, will it pull them closer together or end their relationship once and for all?
