I, Adele Roberts, am a romance author, and it’s the most remarkable career in the world, until I lose myself in the depths of my characters’ love lives and realise theirs are way better than my own.
Determined to find out if ‘Mr Perfect‘ exists, I do the one thing I never thought I would: I sign up for online dating.
Yes, that’s right.
I can only imagine it’s a disaster waiting behind the click of a button—or is it?
Enter Drew Adams.
He’s hot, dreamy and exactly like the kind of heroes I write about in my books, which means he is too good to be true.
Right?
Well, there’s only one way to find out...
5 Stars ➜ "This book gave me the best kind of whiplash as K.L. Jessop seamlessly bounced back and forth between pure comedy and enough heat to catch everything around you on fire with Drew and Adele’s story." ➜ The Red Hatter Book Blog
Kate has lived in South West England her entire life just on the edge of Dartmoor where the moorland goes on for days. It's beautiful, breath-taking and occasionally rather wet.
She is a dyslexic author and finds things challenging which often leads to banging her head against the wall or searching for vodka.
Kate loves anything creative, her college years were spent in the art room, she has numerous qualifications in advanced nail art and as well as writing her passion is photography.
She probably swears way more than she should. Her mum makes the best cupcakes in history, and she goes weak at the knees for a guy with a five o'clock shadow.
The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad Cookie O’Gorman Publication date: April 2019 Genres: Contemporary, Romance, Young Adult
Seventeen-year-old Sadie is tired of being a good girl.
Her Career Aptitude Test results say she’s ideally suited for a career in the clergy (aka a nun), and on top of that, she receives yet another rejection. An aspiring dancer/choreographer, Sadie dreams of being featured on Dancer’s Edge—but they say she’s too sweet, needs more life experience. Her BFF, Kyle, and her oldest friend, 79-year-old Betty, agree: Sadie is in desperate need of a life makeover.
But she’ll need a coach.
Sadie doesn’t lie, cheat or steal–heck she doesn’t even curse (part of the reason she hasn’t checked off anything on her “Carpe Diem List”). Sadie doesn’t know the first thing about being bad. But Kyle’s twin brother, Colton, does. And he’s willing to teach Sadie on one condition: she has to do everything he says for the next month.
A dazzling first kiss, two smokin’ hot brothers and a bet that changes everything. In this enemies-to-more YA romance, Sadie learns:
Breaking the rules can be fun—especially when it leads to happily-ever-after.
Cookie O'Gorman writes YA romance to give readers a taste of happily-ever-after. Small towns, quirky characters, and the awkward yet beautiful moments in life make up her books. Cookie also has a soft spot for nerds and ninjas. Her novels ADORKABLE and NINJA GIRL are out now! Her third book, THE UNBELIEVABLE, INCONCEIVABLE, UNFORESEEABLE TRUTH ABOUT ETHAN WILDER, was released April 5, 2018!
I love reading romance books! I feel like being able to lose yourself in
a book in one of the more exciting aspects. The books I love to read and write
will be ones that make you feel for the characters. You should have an opinion
on every character in a book. Whether you love them, hate them, or think they
are up to something.
I live in Levittown Pennsylvania, with my two kids, and two dogs. On top
of starting a writing career I am a full time teacher, and a full time mom. I
love spending time with my kids, although I have to hide the computer from them
when I am writing! I love being active and being able to do any activity
outdoors.
I have always thought as an author the most important critic is your
reader, so I would love to hear from you. If you read the book and loved it or
hated it, tell me. As long as it is in a constructive way I will always answer
and interact with you. I want fans to feel free to tell me what they want for
the characters in the story and what they want to see happen.
Lennox Reign was the hottest teen star over fifteen years ago. Now,
he's staring me daggers across the principal's office.
Not my fault my daughter got in trouble the first day of school and I
seem to have 'bad mom' stamped on my forehead.
But now not only do I have to see Lennox and his very grown-up body now
at school drop off, but we're working together on the school bake sale.
If he could just stop being a brooding heartbreaker for like two
seconds.
He says he wants to keep the past in the past and move forward with his
life, but the closer we get and the more I uncover, the more I can't help
falling for the former actor.
“Well, accidents happen, Mr. Reign. You weren’t the only one
called out of work, and I’m sure the girls both learned their lesson.” I forced
a smile, hoping he’d drop the hard-ass look.
No such luck.
I glanced at the principal out of the corner of my eye,
hoping she’d have something to say. But before she could even open her mouth,
the guy spoke again.
“Yes, we can hope this doesn’t happen again. Make sure your
daughter knows that.”
I whipped my head around. “Excuse me? You think my daughter,
out of the blue, on her first day, decided ‘Hey, let’s try and unclog a toilet
and flood the bathroom!’”
He smirked, the only crack in his exterior. “Never happened
before with my daughter and she’s been going here since preschool.”
This guy had some nerve.
“Yeah, well, people change. Not everyone can solve kids’
problems in twenty minutes with a laugh track.” The words flew out of my lips
before I could take them back.
I really needed to learn how to use a filter.
“You really just used a sitcom line?” He raised an eyebrow.
“Well, you are Lennox Reign, aren’t you? Former poster boy,
even with your own milk mustache campaign? I’m sure you raised enough hell as a
teen star,” I spat.
He shook his head, blowing a breath of air out of his nose
as he muttered, “Un-fucking-believable.”
Finally, the principal walked around her desk, putting her
hands out. “Okay, I think that’s enough. Both of your daughters have been given
a warning, and we will make sure this doesn’t happen again. Okay? No need for
language.”
“You’re right, Ambro. Sorry for getting out of hand,” Lennox
said, offering her a smile but not even glancing in my direction.
Ass.

The

the party music!] The time has flown by so quickly. My to-be-read
list has expanded even faster. As a reader, you know that is both a
good and bad thing. LOL!
YouTube
for the Bookish?
YouTube.com
is the second most visited website in the world - where over 1.9
billion logged-in users visit each month. And each day, people watch
over a billion hours of video and generate billions of views. While
many people are aware of the music videos, make-up channels and
gaming channels on the platform, far fewer know about the great
bookish content available on YouTube. BookTube is a community of
content creators on YouTube that film videos about books. The
BookTube Your Shelf Daily Reader is a daily online newspaper
featuring social shares from booktubers (including authortubers) and
some bookish neighbors (like bloggers and readers). Are you familiar
with BookTube?
Once
Upon A Time...
Between
changes in YouTube's algorithm and my book reading taste, it was a
struggle for me to keep up with my favorite booktubers and keep
a look-out for new booktubers. I knew many other fans of BookTube
were having similar problems.
When
YouTube changed it's monetization rules in early 2018, many people,
including myself, worried about it's overall impact on small content
creators. As I looked at my personal BookTube channel list, I
thought, "What can I do to help support and encourage bookish
content creators?" Then poof! The idea for The BookTube Your
Shelf Daily Reader popped into my head. [Yes, with a poof]. What
started out as an idea in March of 2018 has morphed into a passion
project with an online newspaper and email newsletter.

What
would you do if the mystery to your mother’s death lay with your
employer?
After
years of unanswered questions, Mishka Vald sets out to uncover the
skhodka’s involvement in her past. What she doesn’t expect is to
join forces with men who push her to become a double-agent and
confirm her future. While hunting down leads, the ruthless assassin
realizes a life in the shadows is the only way for her to protect
those she loves.
For
Mishka, forbidden love is worth the pain when it comes to Eddie
Harper, a military man turned cop. Her affection waivers when duty
comes first and she joins forces with an elite Russian soldier,
Alexei Petrovich. With a blackmailer threatening her school love, she
seeks refuge with a fellow assassin, Nickolas Volkov. And when pushed
too far, she’s ushered to a secure location…and straight into the
arms of mysterious handyman, Dylan Kain. As the pieces fall into
place, their mangled order reveals each man’s true intention. Whose
deceit can she accept and whose will obliterate her?
All
roads lead back to the woman she thought dead—her mother. Now, as
weddings are crashed and alliances tested, Mishka uncovers a deadly
game and the players involved. Her heart, once unable to budge, is
thrust into action, but which man can keep her soul intact?
The
skhodka isn’t done with their best assassin yet.
Too
bad for them, as a rivaling mob – the vory – holds Mishka Vald
captive. The real kicker? She’s trapped in her mother’s clutches
with the two men she loves, with no escape from the devious scheme
Alena Vald cooked up to destroy the skhodka.
After
spiriting across the globe with one man in tow, Mishka comes face to
face with her past. Piecing together the distorted memories would be
easy if someone hadn’t tampered with them.
Can
Mishka slip through the grips of warring Russian mobs for a chance at
a normal life? Find out in Catalyst at Night., the sequel to Assassin
by Day.
Tessa
Robertson has been landlocked in the heart of Iowa, USA for the
better portion of her life. She grew up on sci-fi and action movies,
but isn't nearly a ninja...yet. Since childhood, writing stories and
reading have been a constant. Moonlighting in a law firm, she takes
on her favorite cases: criminal. Her stories push the limits of
standard characters and explore the thriller facets of romance and
action.
In
her spare time, Tessa attempts to teach her Australian Shepherd and
Golden Retriever new tricks; spends copious time with family; catches
up on her favorite shows; and listens to country music.
A fake
relationship. A bride with a secret. And the world’s most horrible grandmother.
What could possibly go wrong?
When two best
friends pose as a couple at a wedding, they don’t anticipate their lie will
catch up with them. They also don’t anticipate falling for their fellow wedding
guests when they team up to stop an impending marriage disaster. What happens
at a destination wedding doesn’t always stay there…

lives in the DMV. And if you know what that means, then you know where
she lives. She currently resides with her husband, two children, and
always at least two cats and usually other random creatures her children decide
they need. While she works at a desk during the day, her evenings and
weekends are devoted to writing and editing her romance novels. She loves
all things wine, coffee, tea, and dark chocolate; that’s right, dark chocolate.
In her spare time, she enjoys photography, traveling, going to concerts, and
reading.
