Title: Famed 
Author: Megan Vernon

Synopsis:

On the heels of Mary James leaked sex tape - totally a fake one to make her boyfriend jealous she might add- she needs some PR help if she ever wants her acting career to end up in a fiery hell like her love life.

Chris Garcia has been working his way up from mail room clerk to junior associate at Tate & Cane and now to get to the next rung of the corporate ladder he has to take on the firm's toughest client: Mary James.

With a little help from a nosey Aunt Rosita and Mama Garcia, the two decide the best way to move forward is simple: a fake relationship.

But what happens when something fake gets to be too real and FAME gets involved?


Title: One-Night Stand-In 
Author: T. Gephart

Synopsis:

Sarah Madison loved working at Tate & Cane Enterprises.

While she looked and, for the most part, acted conservatively—she was a gladiator in the boardroom. The fast-paced, energetic work environment not only fed her need for corporate blood but also allowed her to work for one of her role models, Olivia Cane - living proof a woman really can have it all.

And after months of paying her dues, she was finally offered the promotion she’d been vying for. Which was great, except for the fact she had to share the position with a new guy they brought in especially for the role.

Kyle Drake was smart, experienced, and probably just as good, if not better, in negotiations. And if she wasn’t careful, prove he could do the job without her. Add in good-looking and an incredibly sexy smooth talker, and everyone in the office either wanted to be him or sleep with him. Which Sarah could have totally ignored if he hadn’t been the stranger she’d married in Vegas during a fake ceremony six months earlier.

He was supposed to be her one-night stand, a stand-in for a ceremony that wasn’t even legally binding. They were never even going to see each other again. Hell, she apparently hadn’t even known his real last name at the time. It was the only time she’d ever done something completely reckless and spontaneous.

It figured that one time would come back and bite her where it hurt.

Title: The Run In
Author: Kelly Elliot

Synopsis:

Becoming the new Marketing Manager at Tate and Cane was a game changer. I was hell bent on proving I deserved this job, and that it wasn’t my cousin Sterling Quinn who had helped me score the new job title. Him being one of the CEO’s best friend - didn’t help the rumors.

Well screw that.

Ten years of sweat and hard work was the reason I was sitting in a large corner office with a killer Manhattan view. More focused than I’d ever been, it was time to take the bull by the horns.

And God help the person who stood in in my way.

********

Things I left behind in Seattle, Washington: A promising career at a top marking firm, the past I was desperate to escape, and obviously my sense of direction. It was because of all of those reasons I was standing in the middle of New York City lost and cursing at my phone.

If I didn’t get to Tate and Cane soon, I wouldn’t only be late, but also blow the chance to make the good impression on my new boss, Mason Quinn. And I needed that more than anything.

One wrong turn, an unfortunate collision, and an expensive suit drenched in my soy chia tea latte was not how I wanted to start my first day.

Then there was the other little problem I had. The drop dead gorgeous man whose suit I’d ruined was my new boss.

And boy did he look pissed.


Title: Tied
Author: Kim Karr

Synopsis: 

I was rich, single, and connected, which meant a steady diet of beautiful women wherever I went.

I really did think I had the perfect life.

Until I went and married a supermodel I’d just met, and everything changed.

Of course there were choices. But the word annulment meant giving her up, and I never give up anything. Still, I was a bachelor at heart, and having a wife, well, I didn’t really know what to do with that.

After only forty-eight hours of marriage, I had already gone and screwed everything up.

Now I have thirty days to prove to my new wife that I’m husband material. There’s only one problem—I don’t even know what husband material means. However, I’m certain that won’t stop me from excelling at it.

My wife tells me it isn’t going to be easy. That I have numerous issues to overcome.

First, there’s my jealousy. It needs to be tamed. Did I flip over the fact that her latest picture was causing men around the world to do dirty things all over the covers she graced? Hell, yes. I couldn’t help myself though. When her photo went viral, my caveman instincts kicked in, and I demanded she quit her job and stay home- barefoot and pregnant in my kitchen. I can work on that, right?

Then there’s my mother. I need to convince her that my new wife is not the money hungry floozy she called her. Did my mother actually call her that? Yes. I can’t help it that my mother wants me to get rid of my new wife. The problem is what my mother wants, she always gets one way or another. Still, turning my mother’s opinion around can’t be that hard, can it?

There are many other issues, but according to my new wife, those are minor compared to the biggest one—she says I will never be able to accept being tied down.

Don’t worry—I got this one. I intend to prove to her in no uncertain terms that being tied up, down, or horizontal is just what this Upper East Sider needs.




Title: Battle of the Sexes
Author: Adriana Locke

Synopsis:

Carver Jones’ partner at Jones + Gallum had to step down for medical reasons. He’s absolutely devastated. He swears. Just ignore his cheeky grin, okay?

When word reaches his fancy corner office that Gallum is replacing himself with his daughter, Amity, Carver is ecstatic.

For real this time.

Jones squashes men in the business industry flat. A woman? Pfst. He’ll be completely in charge in no time, doing whatever he wants. He’s so ready for this.

But is he ready to fight the hardest fight of his life? No, not the one to maintain control of his company. The one to keep control of his heart.

The battle may begin in the boardroom, but the war will definitely be won in the bedroom. May the best sex win.




Title: Unsupervised
Author: Cora Kenborn

Synopsis:


Niall 

A non-existent love life, unstable paycheck, and a six-year-old who’d rather hit boys than books sound more like a cry for help than a dating profile. On paper, it would seem like I need a life coach, but I’ve managed to get a decent grip on the single-dad thing. My love life, on the other hand, is an entirely different story. With my sexy Irish accent, I should have women of all ages losing their minds, but I seem to attract only a certain type—crazy.

The last thing I want is a new relationship, but I need a date for my company’s charity function. A chance meeting with a tall, leggy blonde who looks like she could use a night out is the perfect solution. Beautiful, sane, and she has a kid? We have a winner.

I didn’t count on Laken being unforgettable. Unlike all the other fake women I’ve met in this city, she’s real. And if there’s one thing I value more than anything, it’s honesty.

Laken

I didn’t bust my ass in college to be a nanny. Unfortunately, a 4.0 GPA and sucking up to the owner’s sister did nothing to secure a coveted Tate & Cane Enterprises internship. I’m not proud of being a nanny-for-hire to get my foot in the door, but my wealthy socialite employer has the ears of company executives. Swallowing my pride, I do what I need to—until an afternoon at the park changes everything.

I don’t mean to let him think Preston is my kid, but he just assumes. This isn’t me. I’m not a liar. Although his panty-melting accent does unspeakable things to me, I should set the record straight. There’s only one problem. Niall is a freelance photographer for Tate & Cane and invites me to a company event as his plus-one. He’s my “in.”

If I can hold on to this charade long enough, I can get the job and the man of my dreams. I’m winging this completely unsupervised. Game on.




Title: Twisted
Author: Mandi Beck

Synopsis:


Three friends walk into a bar . . . One walks out the fake girlfriend of a hot, bearded Scotsman.

Fannin McGuire is up for promotion at Tate and Cane Enterprises, but first she has to make it through her stepsister’s wedding. To Fannin’s ex. Yep. Her ex-fiancé is about to be her new brother-in-law. One big happy family. And lucky her, she also gets to work with him.

While Fannin is putting all of her energy into her career, her ex is putting all of his energy into making her life hell. Just when Fannin is sure she’ll be attending the wedding without a plus one, in walks Jasper James to save the day. He’s the bartender at the Iron Flask, the account she’s trying to land, and everything she didn’t know she needed or wanted. Before Fannin knows what’s happening, Jasper is playing knight in shining armor and she likes it. And him. A lot. With his smooth Scottish accent, ridiculously good looks, and that beard? She doesn’t stand a chance.

Jasper isn’t in the habit of rescuing anyone. But when Fannin is confronted by her ex about her lack of a date for his upcoming nuptials, Jasper can’t help but step in. Her wild hair, violet eyes, and killer legs have him doing a few things he normally wouldn’t. Never mind that he shouldn’t be getting involved with the woman in charge of making the bar a global success.

Their fake relationship becomes more real than either thought it would. Now they’re at the mercy of their feelings when truths are twisted, and the lies don’t taste as smooth as the whisky.




Title: Cheeky
Author: Natasha Madison

Synopsis:

Bradley Fitch has it all. A suave job, a gigantic trust fund, and an accent that makes panties drop faster than the speed of light. His new life in New York City is fast-paced and furious, but it's nothing a little getaway can't cure.

What says party and unwind like Las Vegas? Nothing. Plus, whatever happens there has to stay there.

When his best friend bails, he finds himself sitting on the plane next to his best friend's sister.

She’s off-limits—proverbial caution tape wrapped around her body. Of course, she’s also totally ball busting gorgeous.

Lexi Quinn fell in love with Bradley at eight years old and then vowed to kill him at eight and a half. What was supposed to be a romantic week away is turning into a nightmare. Her ex is actually married, her luggage is lost, and her reservation is cancelled. And she's sitting next to the man she swore to hate forever.

One week. No strings attached. What is the worst that could happen?

It's all fun and games till this British bad boy gives new meaning to BBC and becomes a little bit too cheeky.

My Reviews:

One-Night Stand-In

T. Gephart is one of my all time favorite authors, one of my one-click addictions :D So, you shouldn't be surprised that I was ecstatic when I got my hands on this novella. I expected the fun and I expected the hotness and even some heartbreak. But this read was so much more. I was in love with the characters from the very start. Truth is, I think I would've loved it if it was even longer. So I can get more of my T. Gephart fix and of course Kyle :D

Sara is definitely a fun character even if she is a little bit unreasonable at time. But the winner for me was definitely Kyle. Sweet, sexy, romantic and so HOT, he can simply melt your panties of :D So he is a little bit of a manwh*re but that changes quite fast once he meets Sara. And even without that change in him, he is definitely a man you would want to get your hands on. The way he treats his sister and everything he's done for will definitely warm your heart and make you want him even more :)

But here is a warning for you. No funny business, no conversation and keep your hands OFF!!! Kyle is MINE, MINE, MINE!!! :D (Sorry, I've been rewatching Dirty Dancing again and that kind of stuck with me :D )

The Run In
If you are in the mood for something more slow burn, then you should definitely check this short novella. It is quite funny from the start and though there are quite a few scorching scenes, the sexual part is left for the very end :) 

Saylor and Mason are two intriguing characters. I connected with them from the very start and even though, they don't exactly see eye to eye, it is very obvious that there is something much more between them than what appears on the surface. The story is dual POV, which I really enjoyed as I got the thoughts and feelings of both characters.

If you've read Kelly before, you know that you would want to get your hands on this one. And if you haven't, this is the perfect place to start :)

Tied
Similarly to the other stories in this Kindle World, this one is also hilarious. I laughed my a** out :D But that's definitely not all. It is sweet and romantic, a little bit heartbreaking but so, so, so HOT.

James and Lindsay are two very interesting characters. I kind of immediately fell in love with them. Their story starts a little bit as a joke with the whole Vegas wedding thing but James quickly realises that Lindsay is the one woman who can change his life. The one woman for whom, he will change his wh*ring ways. But of course that only happens when he already sc**wed things up :D. And that's where the fun begins - 30 days to ix things and prove that just like Lindsay is the woman for him, he is the right man for her. 

So if you are in the mood for a short and relaxing read that is so sexy and hot that will leave you hot and bothered, don't hesitate and pick up your copy ;)

Battle of the Sexes
This is another fun and hot story with incredible characters. And another one in which you should keep your hands OFF the guy :D Carter is all MINE :D

Now that we got that out of the way, let's talk some more about the story. I loved the whole friends- to enemies - to lovers vibe of the story. It is intriguing to see the battle between Carter and Amity but also how they get to know each other again and discover that everything they thought of each other is so different. And considering they work together, all that sexual tension results in some pretty hilarious situations :D

So pick up your copy now :D Don't waste your time and meet my man Carter :D

Unsupervised
Simply hilarious and so, so HOT. I loved Laken and Niall. Those two definitely grabbed my heart from the very start. Laken with her sassiness and snarky banter and Niall with his hot domineering alpha behaviour. And let's not forget that pantie melting accent. He can boss me around all day long and I won't complain at all :D

As a whole, this story is amazing. You will definitely laugh a lot but don't think it's all hearts and flowers. Because of a small fib, things get somewhat out of hand and that can cost Niall and Laken's HEA. So grab your copy and find out what happens in the end :)

Cheeky

I got into Natasha Madison's books by chance. She is an attending author at a signing I am attending next week and few months ago she was giving the option to review one of her books. Well, I signed up and I was in love. I loved her angst filled stories and shed tears together with the characters but once she came out with Tempt the Boss, I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt for a week :D So of course, when I found out about Cheeky, I was super excited to read it. And I so wasn't disappointed. I laughed so hard and I got hot and bothered and I even shed a tear for the eight-year old whose heart got broken. And about the hot and bothered part. Ummm, hello. A sexy Brit with pantie melting British accent. No way I was missing that :D

As a whole, the story is pretty fun and relaxing to read. There is no big heartbreak or suspense. Just pantie melting hotness and fun :) So if you are in the mood for something short and relaxing that will seriously make you laugh, you should #1click this beauty ;) You won't regret it.

Excerpt:
Julian

“Penny for your thoughts?” I asked, swirling a french fry through a glob of ketchup.
  Phoebe lifted her head and smirked. “How about seven million of them, Keith?”
  She was pissed, but she still wasn’t giving me the reaction I wanted. I fucked with her a little, just to see how far I could push her. “Technically, we’re talking pennies, not dollars. To be a proper smart-ass, the correct response should’ve been seven hundred million of them. Since your profession is more literature based than mathematics, I’ll just assume it’s not your strong point.”
  She stopped chewing her hamburger and narrowed her eyes in hostility. “You’re very antagonistic for a guy who’s not paying for his own meal.”
 “Are you always this surly to your dates? I thought you Southern girls were all about hospitality?” I squinted an eye at her and delivered a groupie swooning smile.
 “You’re not my date, Julian,” she muttered, shaking the salt with extreme force.
 “Are we eating a meal together?” I countered.
 “Yes.”
 “Am I paying?”
 “Well, no.”
  Popping a fry in my mouth, I stared at her and grinned. “It’s a date.”
  My reluctant new ghostwriter leaned in for emphasis. “It’s a business lunch.”
  I stole a fry from her plate and waved a hand. “Semantics.” I waited for a response, thoroughly enjoying the verbal volleyball.
  Phoebe folded her arms on the table. “You don’t give up, do you?”
 “Not when there’s something I want,” I admitted.
  “What if it doesn’t want you?” She tried to be assertive but her voice softened.
  “Then it’s wrong.” Damn this woman. Why couldn’t she accept the professional gift and get over it? I’d practically sold my soul to Helena to get her the job.
  We sat in silence until she cursed under her breath and slammed her palm onto the table. “Just admit you had me called in to Ellison’s office!” She didn’t wait for me to answer. “You arranged this publicity escort shit!”
 I just smiled. There was no use denying it now. “I like to cover all my bases.”
“Your stalking is out of control, Julian.”
Un-fucking-believable. I handed her a multimillion-dollar contract and she insulted me.
“I can be a real shit when I don’t get when I want, Phoebe.” It was my turn to glare. “So either you play my game, or I’ll keep showing up at your office and arranging these little meetings.”
 Before she could launch into a tirade, her phone vibrated on the table and distracted her. Cursing, I snatched the phone off of the table before she had a chance. Hitting the message icon, I read the incoming text out loud.
“Your friend, Rosa, wants to know where you are. Somebody named Ass Cactus has been looking for you for over an hour. She says to come back before he explodes.” Who the hell was Ass Cactus?
 “Shit!” She looked frantically around the busy restaurant. Not finding what she was looking for, she pulled a couple of bills out of her purse and tucked them under her plate. “I’m leaving,” she announced. “I’ve got an ass-chewing to attend, thanks to you.
 She stood and I grabbed both her hands, holding them steady. “Agree to my terms and I won’t bother you at work again.”
Grunting in disgust, she jerked away from me and walked briskly out of the cheap diner she’d taken me to. I would’ve preferred to dine alone with her somewhere dark and intimate, but I didn’t dare complain. If she had her way, I’d probably be standing by a hot dog stand with a bag of chips and a Yoo-hoo.
Running after her, I caught her arm as she stepped outside. I turned her to face me. “Why are you so against this?”
“Why is it so important to you?” She glared with a challenging stare.
 I closed my eyes, letting my chin drop against my chest in exhaustion. “Why do you always answer a Fame and Obsession 135 question with a question?”
“Why do you?”
“Why do I want to kiss you?” I shot back at her. She started to argue but I effectively shut down her denial. “And why do I know you want me to kiss you?”
“You’re wrong,” she said, averting her eyes.
Liar.
“Am I?” I closed the distance between us. Wrapping an arm around her waist, I settled a hand at the small of her back. A soft moan escaped before she could rein it in. “That’s what I thought.” I indulged my fingers in a quick dip into the base of her spine. “Your body contradicts everything that comes out of that beautiful mouth, princess.”
“I…I…” She trembled, making me groan.
 I fisted her long hair and tugged her head back slightly. Her hands balled tightly by her side. With her lips inches away from mine, I broke the hold she had on her resistance.
“Phoebe,” I commanded, in a low tone, “put your hands on me.”
She blinked at me. “In the middle of the street? We’ll get arrested!”
Her shock made me chuckle. “Well, I wasn’t referring to that, but I’m glad to see you thinking ahead.” Without waiting, I uncurled her fisted fingers and wrapped them around my neck.
Her breath hitched. She glanced around, realizing we stood three hundred feet away from her office building, and began to pull back. “Julian…”
I quickly dipped my head in a commanding kiss. The movement startled her, and her eyes widened in shock. Tracing the seam of her lips, I took my entry fast, tasting every inch of her mouth. Her body relaxed, and she embraced me so fiercely, I could barely breathe.
Hell if I cared. She could do whatever she wanted as long as she kept making those soft moans. She whimpered as we kissed like we were the only two people on the street. I demanded and took without asking. It was physically painful how much I wanted her.
“Jesus, do you have to go back?” Everything ached for more. The kiss had been so intense people had stopped on the street to either gawk at us or snort in disgust. None of them mattered to me anyway. I had no power to stop it.
A discreet but purposeful cough caught my attention. A guy pushing unkempt blond hair out of his eyes raised his hand beside us in a nervous wave. An annoying blush crept up his neck.  “Um, hi, Phoebe.”
I created a mental picture of us, making out like horny teenagers on a public street. Any other time, I would’ve laughed. However, I didn’t find this interruptive asshole amusing, nor did I like the way he eyed Phoebe up like she was his dessert.
Pulling a hand from my neck, she dangled her fingers at him. “Hi, Nate. How are you?”
“Fine, busy,” he said, grinning a stupid grin I wanted to smack off his face.
Phoebe peeled herself out of my grasp, smoothing the back of her hair where my fingers had been. “Julian, this is Nate Jacobs. Nate was the photographer who worked the album release with me.” She motioned to him. “Nate, this is Julian Bale, he’s—”
“Lords of Lyre. We met at the press conference. My cousin’s a huge fan.” Nate’s eyes darkened as he finished her sentence and rigidly stuck out his hand.
I shook his hand firmly, wanting him to know she was with me. “Always a pleasure to meet a fan.” I smiled, but my stare told him to back the fuck off.
“I never said I was a fan,” he said coolly.
Oh, so we’re playing this game, are we, dickhead?
Phoebe was mine, and he could go fuck himself.
“I’ll see you in the staff meeting, Nate.” She turned back to me but was interrupted when Nate’s voice rang out again.
“I wanted to suggest that we go to the Ralston Gala together, Phoebe. You know, since we both have to be there. We might as well go together.” He laughed nervously.
Before she could react, I grabbed her hand. “That won’t be necessary. Phoebe already has a date.” My jaw twitched in anger.
We stared holes into each other. Phoebe’s eyes darted between us, obviously feeling the tension. Finally, Nate broke the standoff, softening his stupid gaze as he turned it toward her.
“I see. Well, I’ll see you in a few, Pheebs.” Walking up the stairs, he disappeared into the building.
Phoebe hardened a stare at me. “Are you finished comparing dick sizes?”
A smirk planted itself on my face. Her Southern accent took center stage when she was mad.   “Ah, there’s my Iris Queen. Beauty, charm, and a little Jersey Shore attitude thrown in.” I was about to tease her again when my phone buzzed in my jacket pocket. I looked down, furrowing my brow. It was Tanna—and it wasn’t good news. I responded quickly.

   Tanna: One Circa Chatter poster is a ghoster. The rest of the accounts check out.
   Me: Ghoster?
   Tanna: Think of it as identity theft. Did a little digging. Account originated as some lady in Bakersfield. Password was reported hacked, account stolen and put up for sale on the black market.
  Me: People actually do that?
  Tanna: You’d be surprised. You can link credit cards to pay to boost visibility. Your thief changed the screen name and maxed out the card, but it’s the same account.
 Me: You’re positive on this?
  Tanna: Seriously?
  Me: Thanks. Maybe I should let Helena track down this lady. It can’t hurt.
  Tanna: One problem.
  Me: Don’t tell me, she’s in jail? For cyber stalking? Lol
  Tanna: No. She’s dead. For five years.

 All the breath left my chest in a one-line text.
“Julian, I need to get back to work.” Phoebe sighed, motioning toward the building.
“Yeah, sure.” I nodded in agreement, my mind elsewhere.
 Raising an eyebrow, she turned to walk away. Watching her leave, I had an irrational fear for her safety. For every step she took, I took two, ending up beside her at the door.
 Stopping cold, she whipped around with hands on her hips in a fighting stance. “Where the hell do you think you’re going?”
“With you,” I told her matter-of-factly.
“The hell you are!”
 I placed a hand against the door and leaned forward. “If you insist on arguing with me, let’s at least do some background calls for the book. Make your bosses happy, all right? Can you manage that?”
 Phoebe balled her fists, digging her nails into her palms. “Fine.”
“Now, agree to go to the gala with me and I’ll leave you alone for now.” I planned on having a Circa security guard tail her, but she didn’t need to know that.
“And if I don’t?” she challenged.
“A cubicle for two could be fun.”
“This is not take your stalker to work day, Julian. Plus, the gala is in two weeks, so why make plans now?”
“Because you’re a flight risk.” I caged her against the door with the other arm to express my impatience. “Now stop arguing and I’ll be on my merry fucking way.”
“I told you before that this is extortion.”
“Get used to it. We have a long working relationship ahead of us.”
“I hate you,” she pouted, sticking out that irresistible bottom lip of hers.
Another text vibrated my phone. I cursed technology until I realized it wasn’t mine. I’d shoved her phone in my pants pocket when she’d stormed out of the restaurant. Reading the text, I gave her a look. “Rosa says Ass Cactus is gonna blow a fuse.”
I really need to have a chat with this Ass Cactus guy.
Screaming, she stomped her foot like a toddler. “Fine! Call me tomorrow. Jesus Christ, you’re such a child.”
Irony at its finest.
With a satisfied grin, I ran the pad of my thumb across her lip. Letting it drop, I trailed it down the length of her neck, coaxing a sigh from her throat. Satisfied that I’d affected her again, I held her phone out, and she snatched it out of my hands.
“We’ll continue this tomorrow.” I turned to leave, but then stopped and winked. “Oh, and, Phoebe? For the gala, make sure to look the part, princess.”
