Romance Author Blog Hop! Sept 24-30 #romancebooks #romance novels #contemporaryromance #romancereader

Welcome to this blog hop! Visit all stops here.

I'm giving away two books today!

Kissed - My Once and Future Love Revisited #1

The Bassist - West Coast Soulmates #1

Plus, I'm offering an exclusive 20% sample of my newest book, Sweet Reunion.

When finding your true love comes after a bit of heartbreak. You can't appreciate joy without tragedy.

Flavors - like life - need balance. Nearly every cookie or cake recipe includes a pinch of salt. The finest dark chocolate rides the line between bitter and buttery sweetness.

High-school best friends Kate and Sam held secret crushes for each other, but were too afraid of ruining their friendship to declare their feelings. A near-kiss at Grad Night was as close as they got before going to separate universities…and losing touch.

Twenty years later, it’s time for Kate to come home for their high-school reunion—back in the town where dreams seemed possible and the future bright, before tragedy struck.

For Sam, seeing Kate again rouses feelings long buried and he wants her no matter how much it complicates the weekend. She makes him feel alive for the first time in years, he’s missed their closeness from the past, and his mom loves her like a daughter.

Kate finds Sam even more gorgeous and sexy than twenty years ago, but his kids and mom are in California and she lives in Nashville. No matter how amazing their connection is, a relationship would never work. Why couldn’t he have shown up to that reunion fat and bald?

This story is intended for readers 18 and over due to adult language, sexual content, and adult situations.

PARK AVENUE PLAYER IS LIVE!

A Standalone Contemporary Romance

New York Times Bestselling Authors Penelope Ward &Vi Keeland

BLURB

It started out like any normal day. 

Then the fender bender happened. 

The guy I collided with drove an expensive car and was drop-dead gorgeous.  Too bad he was also a total jerk.  We argued over whose fault it was and any other thing that came out of his condescending mouth.

Eventually, the police came and we went our separate ways.  The insurance companies would have to figure things out.  I had a job interview to get to anyway—one I was excited about. 

Though that excitement changed to disappointment the moment the person interviewing me walked in.  The guy from the accident.

Whoops!

Yeah, so I didn’t get the position.

The problem was, I really wanted it. No, I needed it. Anything to get me out of my current career and back into working with kids.

So, even though Hollis LaCroix was as intimidating as he was devastatingly handsome, I went back to see him and begged for a chance.

To my surprise, he gave me a shot taking care of his troubled niece.

At least my attraction to him wouldn’t be able to go anywhere. I wasn’t about to jeopardize my job or the strong bond Hailey and I formed. 

But resisting the magnetic pull between us wasn’t that simple. (Then there was our little underwear game—don’t ask.)

We continued to flirt without crossing the line—until it finally happened. 

This is the part of the story where we fall in love and live happily ever after, right?

Well, life has a way of throwing some major curveballs.

Ours was one I didn’t see coming.

EXCERPT REVEAL:

Copyright © 2019
By Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland


“Would you like something to drink, Hollis?”

“No, thank you.”

He looked completely uncomfortable standing in my kitchen, so of course,
I needed to make it worse. I tilted my head. “Did you touch any?”

“What?”

“My panties. Did you touch any while you were in the bathroom?”

He tugged at the collar of his polo and looked down the hall. “Where did
she go? We need to get back on the road.”

Oh my God!

I’d been kidding around. But…holy shit…he had! I covered my mouth and
cracked up. “You did, didn’t you! You perv!”

Hollis walked down the hall. “Hailey…let’s get going.”

I couldn’t get the smile off my face. Something about the thought of Hollis
touching my underwear amused the hell out of me. I wished Hailey wasn’t around
so I could ask him if he’d smelled them, too. That thought actually made me
snort.

Hollis came back to the kitchen. His face was stern. “We’ll see you on
Monday.”

I walked them to the door. Hailey surprised me with a hug. “Your art stuff
is awesome.”

“Thank you, sweetheart.”

I grinned at Hollis, who was impatiently holding the door open for his
niece. “Your uncle thinks my stuff is awesome, too.”

Jacob and Beth's complete series box set has been updated! Now includes SEVEN BOOKS! #contemporaryromance #rockstarromance

Jacob and Beth: The Complete Collection

Apple | Amazon | Barnes and Noble | Smashwords | Kobo | Google Play | $9.99.

An $18.99 value!

The My Once and Future Love Revisited series explores Beth and Jacob’s relationship with all its joys, flaws, and heartache.

This collection contains KISSED, BETRAYED, FORGIVEN, LOVED, and COMPLETED.

Includes the bonuses THE BASSIST and THE KEYBOARDIST!

Contemporary Rockstar Romance saga. This story is intended for readers 18 and over due to adult language, sexual content, and adult situations.

KISSED:

One kiss ignites chemistry and passion they can’t ignore, but is this only a summer fling?

Neighbors. Best friends. It was only a crush Beth harbored for Jacob until she was eighteen. Until London.

Neighbors. Best friends. That was all Jacob thought of her until London. Until she kissed him and stole his heart.

It's funny what Geometry class and a shared backyard wall can bring about. With a two-year age difference, Beth and Jacob were firmly in the Friend Zone during high school, but a pre-college trip to London will change their lives forever.

KISSED is the first of five books in the MY ONCE AND FUTURE LOVE REVISITED series exploring Beth and Jacob’s relationship with all its joys, flaws, and heartache. 

THE BASSIST:

Dylan is the bassist for Jake Lindsey's band, but not when he's in his hometown. It's Christmas Eve and a sudden, strong blizzard has left the mountain submerged in snow, wrecking his plan to drive back to Los Angeles in time to attend Jake and Beth's party Christmas Day.

Jennifer's family was coming to spend the holiday at her cabin, but the storm is keeping them off the mountain. Resigned to entertaining herself for the night, she's startled by someone pounding on her front door--a handsome man needing shelter from the storm. Dylan is sweet, funny, and so damn hot she can't resist learning what he has to offer.

Was this a single night of passion, or the beginning of lasting love?

THE KEYBOARDIST:

With most of the band coupled up now, Mike is the seventh wheel. Realizing he hasn't cultivated a life outside the band in years is a lonely epiphany. When a young woman mistakes him for someone else, the awkward encounter turns into a possibility for something real. Something lasting. Something like love.

Hannah, a recent arrival in L.A., is looking for a connection in her new life. Despite meeting Mike under less-than-ideal circumstances, she accepts his invitation to a Memorial Day BBQ with his friends, never expecting them to be famous rockstars with hearts of gold. Mike couldn't be nicer and sparks are flying, so when he insists on taking their time to get to know each other, part of her is flattered and the other side is frustrated he won't get naked. How far can she tease him before he gives in?

Settle in for a sweet and spicy romance in the My Once and Future Love Revisited universe where finding yourself means finding true love. Takes place after COMPLETED and THE BASSIST (Dylan and Jen).
