LAUNCH DAY BLITZ ~ Undeniable by Shannon Richard
LAUNCH DAY BLITZ ~ Delicious (Big Pie Sky #2) by Adrianne Lee
Jane Wilson was hired to be the new pastery chef at Big Sky Pie. This is really her dream job and a stepping stone for her to realize her dreams of moving to Paris, working with some of the finest pastey chefs in the business, and eventually, opening her own shop. Just when things seem to be working out for Jane, her wedding obsessed mother, Rebel shows up with the big announcement that she is re-marrying one of her ex-husbands, Romeo. With memories of her time with Romeo and his son Nick "The Devil" Taziano, Jane will stop at nothing to convince her mom that this is a big mistake. But when Jane finds herself in a hot liplock with the devil himself, and realizes that the two of them will need to work togethter on a ad campaign for Big Sky Pie, she is beginning to wonder if she has bitten off more than she can chew.
Nick Taziano is a workaholic. He doesn't have time for a serious relationship. When is dad calls telling him that he is about to get re-married to Rebel, all Nick can think about is how Rebel broke his heart, and how Nick had to put up with is stepsister, Jane the Pain. But what do you know, the Pain has blossomed into a beautiful swan and one look, one kiss, one touch does not seem to be enough for Nick. Knowing that he should keep is distance, knowing that the two of them are on different paths in life, personally and professionally, doesn't seem to register with Nick. Nick and Jane will need to make a choice, give into the feelings that they are both feeling, or run for the hills. But sometimes, when things are too tempting, you just need to go back for more.
What I loved about Nick and Jane is that when they first met, after all of these years, they really had no idea who the other one was, but the connection, the white hot sparks of interest were there. They fought it of course, but like any good book, they keep being pulled together. Like to magnets they dance around the issue, they come together, and push appart, but in the end, they keep coming back for a second helping. I loved the humor of this story. Some of the situations that Nick and Jane find themselves in are laugh out loud funny. I love that we get to revisit the characters from book 1, and that the series is tied together so well. If you are looking for a wonderful summer read, pick up Delicious by Adrianne Lee it will make you hungry for more. I loved this story so much I gave it 5 mouth-watering stars.

COVER REVEAL ~ My First, My Last by Lacey Silks
Adrian Reed had always remained in Mia's heart. After all, he was her first boyfriend and the man she'd lost her virginity to, but that was twenty years ago. His sudden appearance at a bar, on a girls night out, has Mia acting like the fifteen year old girl she was when they parted.
But life now is not as simple as it was twenty years ago. With two kids, a hopeful ex-husband and new insecurities, Mia finds opening up to a new relationship more challenging.
Will she give her first love another chance, or will she push him away, this time for good?
When she’s not thinking about writing steamy stories, which is a rare occasion, Lacey enjoys camping and skiing with her family (not at the same time of course). She’s a happily married wife blessed with two kids who adore going to the library. She’s an early bird by nature, but loves the nightly adventures with her hubby which provide good content for her books.
