Release Date: 02.12.2018 Synopsis: Love, Life, and a Whole Lotta Handbags. Having papered over the cracks in her relationship with artist boyfriend Anthony, Magenta Bright is fully focused on opening her first shop on the King’s Road – and on coaching her best friend – vodka-swilling, catty supermodel Anya – through her unexpected pregnancy. But with Anthony away in Italy on a lucrative commission, the distance between them is more than metaphoric. And then Magenta’s ex, Hugo, shows up, the man she once lost her heart to. At one time there was nothing more important to Magenta than fashion and fun, and throwing herself into every drama that passes her way. But now Magenta’s world is rocked by questions of life and death, and how she would cope if the people closest to her were gone for good.

Release Date: 07.25.2018 Synopsis: Sometimes you need to let yourself fall… Recently divorced Sienna Porter has the life she’s supposed to. A house, career, even a hot young contractor working upstairs to distract her. At thirty-eight, she’s entitled to a little fun (according to her best friend, anyway). Pain, though— it’s so clever in the way it infects hope and poisons happiness.  Jace Beckett should be flying high. Talented, driven, and disciplined, he’s far beyond his twenty-three years. He’s used to the game, the attention his looks and highly trained body get from women. Doesn’t mean he likes to play. Doesn’t mean his own secrets aren’t intent on tearing him down. It’s just a fling. Sexy. Temporary. It’s not supposed to last. It’s not supposed to transform into love. It’s certainly not supposed to become the air you breathe and everything worth fighting for. Review: Young Love was a great read but I didn't expect any less from the mind and hand

Release Date: 07.12.2018 Synopsis: "Like wildfire, rumors are easy to spread... and hard to extinguish." It was supposed to be one night. After watching Ryder fawn all over that little skank, I needed more than booze to help me forget what I lost. What I’d thrown away. I should have known better than to get involved with another one of the Dixon brothers clan. Their friends are like family and the Dixon family doesn’t keep secrets from each other. So when one night turned into a week spent rolling around in the sheets, I knew I was in trouble.  Everyone would find out what I’d done. They’d be able to see through my thick facade. Rumors will fly. Unless… maybe I can spin the truth.  Review: I've really enjoyed this novel. I like to read stories that surprise me and make me change my mind about some characters.

If you can call going on blind double dates and researching adult toy stores work… Why did I want to be a good girl, again? Review: I really enjoyed reading Miss Behave,a nice,light hearted and sexy read. Lizzie and Ash are two advice columnists for two rival web magazine until their bosses decide to merge putting our main characters's work on the line.At this point Miss Behave and A Guy's Guy engage in a "battle" for the best adivices. Nikky Kaye wrote a good love-hate office romance,one of my favorite trope, with two main characters that have so muc

Release Date: 07.10.2018 Synopsis: Never ask a question unless you’re sure you want the truth.  I’ve been listening to my father sing for my whole life. I carry him in my pocket on my mp3 player. It’s just that we’ve never met face to face.  My mother would never tell me how I came to be, or why my rock star father and I have never met. I thought it was her only secret. I was wrong.  When she dies, he finally appears. Suddenly I have a first class ticket into my father’s exclusive world. A world I don’t want any part of – not at this cost. Only three things keep me going: my a cappella singing group, a swoony blue-eyed boy named Jake, and the burning questions in my soul.
 There’s a secret shame that comes from being an unwanted child. It drags me down, and puts distance between me and the boy I love.  My father is the only one alive who knows my history. I need the truth, even if it scares me. Review: The Accidentals was a beautiful read. E
