As a wedding photographer, it’s no surprise that Ashley Murphy, despite her perpetual singleness, is a little in love with love.
 
When she catches a hunky best man checking her out while on the job, her heart all but shouts, “He’s the one”. Until he opens his mouth. Colton Banks is a cocky lawyer with a mean streak a country mile wide.
 
Colton prefers order to chaos. He believes there’s a time and place for everything, so when a lilac haired hottie sends him a flirtatious wink while she’s on the job, he’s less than impressed.
 
When she shows up at his office a week later asking for legal help, his first instinct is to send her packing. But day after day, she returns, finding new elaborate ways to break him down.
 
 It’s not until a life-altering surprise shows up on Colton’s doorstep that things start to change. Ironically, the answer to his problem may be his incredibly annoying, free-spirited new “friend.”
 
Complications. Lust. Attraction. Love.
 
As their tenuous friendship grows, the chemistry between them becomes a raging inferno, and everyone knows you can’t deny your rebel desires.

Becoming a queen in Hell isn’t easy—even when you’re sleeping with the Devil.

Armed with a dangerous, demonic power and Eros, her tempting incubus boyfriend, Dani is prepared to lead one of the most powerful kingdoms in Hell.

She’s strong, smart, and so damn good at doing the one thing her virtuous mother told her never to do: sin.

But, even in Hell, sinning comes at a cost… and that cost may be Dani’s sanity as she faces the three biggest threats of her life in the Underworld:

A kingdom in chaos. A bitter best friend. And a demon out for a wrathful revenge.

Will Dani and Eros be able to survive the madness that comes with leading the Kingdom of Lust? Or will they crumble to pieces from the pressure of it all?

Demonic Desires is a steamy paranormal romance written by Destiny Diess. It is the second book in the Becoming Lust Trilogy and cannot be read as a standalone.

Love and Whiskey by Allie Able

Book Review Virginia Lee Blog
Title: Love and Whiskey
Series: A Magnolia Distillery Novel
Author: Allie Able
Genre: Romance
Release Date: May 26, 2020 Cover Design: Amanda Walker PA and Design Services
This book was refreshing with their carefree manner of falling for one another and I couldn’t put it down. I loved all the characters and can’t wait to learn more about The Magnolia Distillery. — Kelly at Words We Love By
A great story that I want more of! From romance to drama and even suspense the storyline is one you need to read. —Jamie at Within The Pages Book Blog
Lillian Chant is determined to float through life without forming any real attachments. Abandoned and thrust into the world at an early age taught her one valuable lesson–the only person you can really count on is yourself. She’s spent her adult life moving from state to state, recreating herself using her smile and well-crafted lies to get by. The last thing she expects is to meet a man who resists all of her efforts to push him away, but that’s exactly what happens when her world collides with Matthew Breaux.
Matt is fascinated by Lily. For the past ten years, his sole focus has been on building his business, but now he finds himself distracted by her beautiful gray eyes and the secrets she’s trying so hard to keep. 
Will she drop her walls enough to let him in, or will her darkness swallow her whole?
“You are stalking me!” she shouts, surprising the hell out of me for a minute.
I recover quickly and shake my head as I let out a quiet chuckle. “I assure you that I am not.”
She doesn’t look like she believes me, and she also looks ready to bolt at any second.
“I live right there,” I say, pointing in the direction of my condo. “I was just leaving to go grab a drink when I saw you walking out of the gallery. I’m sorry if I startled you.”
She sighs and waves away my apology. “It’s fine.”
She turns to walk away, and I scramble to think of an excuse to talk to her a little longer. This woman makes me feel irrational. She clearly wants nothing to do with me, yet I still can’t seem to give up.
“Would you like to have a drink with me?” I ask her back as she walks away.
She briefly glances at me over her shoulder. “No.”
There is zero hesitation in her answer, and for some reason, her abrupt tone just makes me laugh. I jog to catch up to her, and she looks over at me with an annoyed expression.
“Why not?” I ask with a smile.
“God, you’re annoying,” she mumbles. She abruptly stops and turns to me. “I don’t date, Matt. I’m sure there are hundreds of single, straight women in this city who would love to go on a date with you. Go find one of them.”
She doesn’t give me a chance to respond before she continues walking.
That’s the first time she’s ever said my name, and I take it as a good sign that she actually remembers it.
“I wasn’t asking you on a date, Lily. I was asking if you would like to have a drink with me.”
“You would drive someone to drink. That’s for sure.”
I chuckle and shake my head. “You don’t mince your words, do you?”
“Why would I? So many people feel the need to sugarcoat their words, and it’s bullshit if you ask me. If you’re firm from the get-go and people know where you stand, it cuts out a lot of useless chatter.”
“You’re beautiful, and I find you extremely fascinating.”
“Why?” she asks.
“Why what?”
She doesn’t immediately respond. We walk a couple more steps before she stops again to face me.
“Why do you find me fascinating?”
I have a feeling the next words out of my mouth are going to make or break me, so I take a second to really think about my response.
Dropping my smile for a minute, I hope she can hear the sincerity in my words. “Because you wear your darkness well. I want to know all about your secrets and the pain you try to hide behind those gorgeous eyes. You’re beautiful and different, and I’ve always liked that sort of thing.”
Allie Able is a romance writer who tries to juggle her time between being a mother and an author. Allie was raised in a small town in Mississippi and now resides in Florida. Reading and writing romance has always been her first love. She decided to pursue her dreams of becoming a writer full-time, when the characters dancing around in her head wouldn’t stop demanding her attention. Now she can be found sitting at her desk, feeding her coffee addiction, as she creates heartbreaking romance with spicy ever afters.
I love getting to know fellow romance authors and readers, so stop by anytime  for a chat.

All you’ll ever be is a pretty face.

Star running back Bruce “Bruiser” Mackey has heard those words his entire life, especially after his twin brother’s tragic accident. He might use his surfer-boy good looks to land lucrative endorsements for his secret charity, but he hates books being judged by their covers. Which is why it’s wrong that his friend Mackenzie Hernandez is intent on giving herself a makeover.

Sure, Mac and her father have been reeling financially since her brother disappeared three years ago, and Steelheads management gives an annual scholarship that might get her life back on track, but he can’t imagine anyone smarter, sexier, or more beautiful than Mac already is. He can’t keep his hands off her—and the more they spend time together, the less he wants to. She’s perfect as is.

One way or another, he’ll make sure the team’s tomboy groundskeeper gets a full ride. And between the two of them, they can learn to accept what’s behind them and look downfield to a future full of win.

Previously published as Backfield in Motion in 2013. This version has been updated, rewritten, and re-edited.

“My kingdom isn’t one you find in fairy tales. Instead, it’s built on corruption, lies, and murder.”
Charlie 
Raised by the chief of police, I knew tangling with the mafia leader of Northridge Heights was a bad idea. Yet as I gazed into his dark eyes, I couldn’t resist Teddy’s offer. We made a deal. He helps me find my fathers murderer, and I’ll stand by his side as paid protection. But nothing could protect my heart—from him. I saw a side of him few ever do, and it left me aching for him. Now, there’s a new deal. Stand by his side and reign as his queen. Am I ready to join the seedy underbelly of mafia life, knowing one among them murdered my father? 
Teddy 
When I made the chief of police a deal, I never knew he had a daughter. After his death, I felt compelled to watch over her and keep her safe. Somewhere along the way, I fell in love. But helping her fit into my world wouldn’t be easy. She had to be trained. Groomed. Educated. To my great relief, my beautiful Charlie exceeded my wildest expectations. Still, I live in fear that if the secrets I’ve kept come to light, my queen will become my enemy.

JACKSON by Siobhan Davis

Book Review Virginia Lee Blog
Jackson - BT banner

“Jackson has everything you expect from a Davis novel: Incredible writing. Multi-dimensional characters. Plot that has you frantically flippings pages. It was devious and dark. Explosive. Hot. Passionate.”- Coralee June, International bestselling author

Jackson, an all-new standalone dark romance in the fan-favorite Rydeville Elite Series from USA Today bestselling author Siobhan Davis, is available now!

Jackson_ecover2 Book 5

The devil came to me in disguise. Too bad I didn’t notice until it was far too late.

Vanessa:

The devil doesn’t always wear an evil mask.

Sometimes, he appears in the most beautiful form.

Like the super-hot bad boy with the dirty-blond hair and a wicked glint in his blue eyes who swept in out of nowhere, stealing all the air from my lungs.

I thought he was my savior.

But he’s my ruination.

And he’s just taken a machete to my heart.

Jackson:

For years, my rage seethed under the surface. Hidden behind a cloudy haze of my poison of choice.

But now, the fog has cleared.

And I’m out for blood.

I will annihilate those responsible for taking my sister from me.

Except he’s not here, so I go for the next best target.

The woman he abandoned.

Until it suited him to drag her into this messed-up elite world.

Sucks to be her.

Because when I’m done with Vanessa, she’ll wish she was dead.

Excerpt

“Enjoy your day off, bitch,” Chloe says as we pull down the blinds and lock the diner up after another busy day. “Don’t work too hard,” I singsong. I’m in a great mood because I get to sleep late in the morning and I have a full day off to myself. A throat clearing interrupts our banter. “Is this a good or bad time?” Jackson asks, and the rich undertones in his voice send shivers dancing up my spine. “Oh, this is a good time,” Chloe answers for me, and I spot a devilish glint in her eye. “A very good time.” She thrusts her hand out. “I’m Chloe. Van’s best friend. You must be Jackson.” I glare at her. Okay, I’ve got zero game, but that doesn’t mean Chloe has to rub it in. “You told your bestie about me.” He smirks, and I can’t decide which one of them I want to punch more. “Didn’t you tell Sawyer?” I ask. “Guilty. Guess that makes us even.” He flashes me that panty-melting smile, and my lace thong evaporates from my body. Like poof, and it’s gone. “Oh fuck,” Chloe murmurs, totally getting it now. “Yep,” I reply, not removing my eyes from Jackson. “You’re fucked, girl,” she adds, her eyes shamelessly raking over every inch of Jackson’s semi-naked torso. He’s in shorts and sneakers again, and damn, if that isn’t such a good look on him. “Not yet she isn’t,” Jackson purrs, “but if she keeps looking at me like that, I’ll have my cock buried balls deep inside her before we’ve even gotten upstairs.” I fan my face while Chloe looks like she might faint. “I’m trying to work out if that’s a threat or a promise,” Chloe admits. “It’s a promise,” Jackson says, winking at me. “I don’t do threats.” “He’s a keeper,” Chloe decides, tugging on my arm. “And I’m detouring to Jon’s place because I need his dick now.” I fight a smile. sd author photo version 2About Siobhan USA Today bestselling author Siobhan Davis writes emotionally intense young adult and new adult romantic fiction with swoon-worthy romance, complex characters, and tons of unexpected plot twists and turns that will have you flipping the pages beyond bedtime!
