Release Date: 07.27.2016 Synopsis: After losing his engagement to the woman he thought would be the great love of his life, twenty-three-year-old aspiring journalist Graham Herrera is in pieces. After four months, though, it becomes clear just how he can get his life back on track and reassemble his soul: write a book about his lost love and shed her bad blood forever. There’s just one problem: that would make him a “male romance author,” and according to society, men know nothing about romance, right? Humorous and heartwarming, Seth King’s Hopeless Romantic is an inside look at what happens when you toss away the world’s judgments and decide to write your own future, one romance novel at a time. Review: I loved every truthful and honest word of this novella. This debate about Male Authors and Romance is going on for a long time now and I really don't see where is a problem...as a Romance Reader I only care if a story is good and enjoyable. ...

Release Date: 06.22.2015 Synopsis: It doesn’t feel right. It doesn’t feel wrong. It just...feels. EJ Cunning, an art history major, dates musicians. Foster Blake, a chemical engineering major, can’t sing a tune. They’re not each other’s type. They’re coworkers. Then, one night leads to sex—sex between friends—which leads to an agreement. It all seems so simple—but nothing ever is. Many layers build a person’s facade. Look into the depths for what’s hidden within. It’s more than water. It’s a story—a living and breathing substance beyond the reflective surface. Review: I didn't have read a College NA in a while and I've really enjoyed this one. It was the first time I was reading something written by this author but her writing grabbed my attention since the beginning. I've really appreciated how she showed the contrast between Foster's rationality and EJ's artistic view of life. EJ and Foster have found a special place in...

Release Date: 07.18.2016 Synopsis: I used to imagine that life would be easier, more enjoyable, if I were tall, blond, and supermodel thin. But real life—like the average, every day woman—is full of curves and imperfections, and many opportunities to learn that it’s not the number on the scale that measures the capacity of your heart. After years of struggling with poor self esteem and too many crash diets to count, I finally got wise—and hired a trainer. With an enthusiastic push from my brother’s fiancé and more motivation than a Joel Osteen sermon, I, Madeline “Leni” Moore, am ready to ditch the oh-woe-is-me act. That is, until I smack head-on into a tree and collide with him. Lane Sheffield is the guy you drool over from afar. One look at him the first day on the runner’s track, and my panties are up in flames. He’s out of my league. Slim, sleek, and athletic to my plump, dull, and unfit. Lane has no reason to like me, but to my utter shock . . . he does ...

I really really liked this story and I'm glad I started it as soon as it showed on my kindle. I was a mess for the first 30% of the book...I felt my heart breaking page after page but my anxiety to know how the story was going to end made it that much harder to put it down. I've appreciated how our hot and strong hero,Ridge,faces all the hurdles and the novelties his new life entail in order to be happy. This is my first book by Kayle...
