He’s about to become a very big dill.

A best
friend’s sister rom com from USA Today bestselling author JJ Knight



I’m rock hard.

No, not like that.

When that happens, you won’t need me to tell you.

I’m a competitive bodybuilder, ready for my first regional contest. And
winning requires more than just killer workouts, diet, or stage presence.

It’s all about the tan.

My training partner Franklin uses the best in the business — Camryn
Schultz. She understands the career killer of a badly placed white spot.

 

She’s also his sister.

So when the craptastic tan I’m given for my first competition requires
an emergency patch, Frank knows exactly who to call.

 

The thing is, when Camryn’s hands hit my skin, more than a few muscles
spring to life.

 

I’m about to head on stage in the tiniest Speedo imaginable and parts
of me no longer fit.

What I need to do for my friendship and my future on the circuit is to
walk away.

But when Camryn’s got her hands on my hard body, there’s no way this
Pickle is going to get anything but hot.

__

Hot Pickle is a 300-page standalone romantic comedy about workout
junkies, bodybuilding gods, and the couple who sprays together, stays together.

Excerpt

Camryn waits for me to shed my pants. I almost trip over them, anxious
and unsure. She’s getting to me. I toss them on the floor with my bag and hold
out my arms.

“Tell me the damage.”

Camryn makes a slow walk around me, tapping the end of a makeup brush
against her cheek.

“You smeared the color here when you put on your trunks. You should
always wear them for your final day tan to avoid this.” Her hand smooths
something low on my ass, and everything in my body goes warm.

My eyes blink shut, and I try to concentrate on something other than her
touch. I run through my bodybuilding poses, picturing myself on the stage.

Something bonks my nose, and I open my eyes to see Camryn standing there
again. “I have your back acceptable. You shouldn’t lose any points.”

Before I can even get in a thank you, the end of her brush pokes my
chest. “But we have to do something about these abs. You have a light patch
just below your navel in the critical area from belly button to…”

She hesitates. "Below.”

I don’t know what she was going to call it, but apparently it’s a word
she doesn’t want to use around me.

I can’t stifle my grin. “You saying my happy trail is too bright?”

She rolls her eyes. “I’m saying the lack of consistent color won’t do you
any favors with the judges.”

“Do with me what you must.”

Okay, now hold up.

I have to pause the story here.

Because this, my friend, is where Camryn gets on her knees in front of my
junk, a tube in her hand.

And things get really awkward.

If The Broom Fits by Sarah Sutton

If The Broom Fits
Sarah Sutton
Publication date: October 6th 2020
Genres: Contemporary, Romance, Young Adult

Blaire has a bad attitude. At least that’s what everyone tells her. It could be because it’s days before Halloween, literally the worst holiday on the entire planet. And it doesn’t help that her super-hot ex-boyfriend, Lucas, is determined to convince her otherwise by making her take part in “festive activities.” Apparently carving pumpkins is going to magically change her mind about the holiday? Yeah, right.

But Blaire has never told anyone the truth of why she hates Halloween, or the truth about her and Lucas’s break up. Being around him is so much harder than she thought, especially when it looks like he’s starting to move on.

And when she gets a letter in the mail from someone who broke her heart, can Blaire overcome the negativity threatening to drown her? Or will her bitterness and secrets push everyone she loves away?

Overcast by Hazel Grace

Title: Overcast

Series: B723 #1

Author: Hazel Grace

Genre: Dark Romance/Suspense

Release Date: September 1, 2020

Blurb

The monster hiding in the shadows is real.

He doesn’t have horns or sharp claws, but a deep scowl, piercing hazel eyes,
and a bunker deep in the woods equipped for his fantasies to play out like a
horror movie.

And it becomes my reality in seconds.

My captor is out for retribution, and he thinks I’m to blame. He believes I’m
the evil that shrouded his world and tipped it upside down.

Hate isn’t enough of a word for what he feels for me, and while he terrifies
me, I mask my pain as best as I can.

A pointless feat because he feels my discomfort, revels in it.

And yet in the midst of his hell, I can’t seem to miss the way those eyes burn
with hunger.

The kind that involves him devouring me with his tongue and teeth.

Emric is the beast in my darkest nightmares.

Until he realized that his reality is a blurred screen of the truth—mine.

Excerpt

She’s obviously conceived ideas that I’m going to weaken and
go easier on her, maybe let her go. The conundrum is that I don’t play with my
mark. 

I can imagine it, dream it, eye-fuck it, but I won’t touch
it.

Rated-XXX by Mya Oh

Title: Rated-XXX

Author: Mya Oh

Genre: New Adult Romantic Comedy

Release Date: September 1, 2020

Blurb

So, this whole thing started with a dick cake. Literally, a
cake shaped like a dick. Phallic confectionary. I spill a cup of coffee on the
patron. We become friends. We fall in love.



Wait, let’s back-track a bit.



I’m Bailey Finch: twenty-four, living in LA, and working as the lowly Calendar
Editor for a trendy Sex & Relationships magazine - think Cosmo on
methamphetamines. I mostly take coffee orders.



I’m also woefully body-conscious, clinically anxious, and still a virgin. Not
the cute, quirky sort, either. I’m a borderline train-wreck on my best days,
and a dumpster fire on my worst.



But here’s the real kicker: the Dick Cake Guy? He also ends up being the best
career opportunity to possibly fall into my lap. His name is Elijah Mattox:
BDSM Porn Star prodigy, wanna-be mainstream actor, and the subject of my very
first magazine interview.



Or at least, that’s how it started. There was something much bigger yet to come
- no pun intended.



Rated XXX: A virgin. A porn star. A comedy.

Excerpt

“Well, fuck me.”

Nothing makes you second-guess yourself like a room full of
voluptuous models with tiny waists and breasts that still remained perky –
side-boob abundant – without a bra. I told myself that if they were silicone,
my boobs would look just as great in a thin, lacy bralette – but still found
myself giving my own a mournful squeeze while hiding behind a potted plant.
There there, boobs. You are stunning, even if you do fall sideways when I lie
down. And one might be slightly bigger than the other. Spoiler alert: it was
the left one. I'd named her Carly.

I'm still sexy, I told myself. I'm still that
girl. You go, Bailey.

When I tip-toed from behind my hiding spot, I was
immediately hit by the blinding light of bleached-white smiles and
perfectly-winged eyeliner. Glossy mouths, long faux eyelashes. Laughter that
rang higher, almost melodic, alongside the beating music that was playing. I
could feel my pulse rise; my brain determinedly running hurdles as I quickly
looked around, trying to find a spot to belong in a room – nay, a house –
brimming with men and women who looked like they belonged on the set of Ex
on the Beach.

Or, you know, a porn set.

And then, brain trip. I think I went cross-eyed.
Anxious, uncertain of myself, feeling like a mouse amongst sphinxes. One looked
at me, then another, and I could tell what they were thinking: who is this
girl? The girl in what now felt like an ill-fitting maroon-colored dress
with a high-neckline and full-length sleeves. The girl who bought her makeup at
Target and had never worn a single false eyelash, and had actually forgotten to
put mascara on before leaving the house. Who is she?

And it wasn't in any sort of inspired way. A maybe-she's-born-with-it
way. More like, who invited the walking tater tot? With no mascara, and
practically blonde eyelashes, I suddenly felt as if I looked like a
plague-ridden Victorian child.

You've made a massive mistake, the mean, DJ-sounding
voice in my head informed. Also, you're ugly.

I waited restlessly for Eli to pop up, texting him that I
had arrived, when one of the women approached me. Pink-frosted hair, milky pale
complexion – absolutely perfect, carved from ivory. Her highlighter made her
cheeks pop; her eyes sparkled in that half-drunk, post-orgasm sort of way. She
hadn't forgotten the mascara, and oh, how her ensemble was flawless. She
was beautiful.

She smiled at me, almost too politely, and had the nerve to
brush a strand of hair from my forehead.

“I've never seen you before,” she remarked. “Have you worked
with Eli?”

“Erm,” I looked down at my knees. I felt, in that instant,
like I had stumpy Hobbit legs. What was I thinking, wearing a dress that cut
off mid-thigh? I should have gone for shorter; something to elongate my
legs. And here I was. Dildo Baggins. “No. I work with Come Magazine.
I've been interviewing him for an article.”

“Ah,” she nodded. “That makes sense.”

What was that supposed to mean? I could feel the
Spanx sucking in my middle, wondering why the hell none of these women had an
ounce of cellulite on them. Where were the actually curvy girls? Not to
body-shame, of course – just for variety, for God's sake.

My face grew hot, and I had only just turned to walk
straight out – sorry, Eli, another time, by which I mean a big fat NOPE – when
he tapped me on the shoulder, extending a cocktail. The same he'd made me
before.

“Morgan,” he didn't take his eyes off me. I felt myself
swallow, hard. He wore a fitted black button-down, black slacks, and a silver
watch. His hair was purposefully messy. His smile cunning as ever. “This is my
good friend, Bailey. Doesn't she look stunning?”

“Oh yes,” Morgan agreed. “I love your shoes.”

“Thanks,” I told her. “Payless. Shoe Source.”

She looked at me as if puzzled. Then, giving Eli a wide
smile, she walked away and disappeared into the throw of glittery bodies.

“For the love of God,” I exhaled heavily, relieved. I could
hear Eli chuckle under his breath. “Could I just have some cake, please?”

He laughed louder, almost adoringly. As if he were charmed,
and maybe he was. He left, returned with a big slice, and I happily accepted.

“I gave you a slice of the tip,” he told me. “I wasn't sure
if you were ready for the shaft, or into balls.”

“I appreciate your consideration,” I dug in, shoving a large
spoonful into my mouth while the eyes of a hundred former Miss-Carson-Cities
studied me like I was anything but a human woman. “But it's all cake to me.”

Downfall by Shae Scott

 Title: Downfall

Series: A Bookworm Novel

Author: Shae Scott

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: September 1, 2020

Every love story is different.

Some are a slow burn. Others burn bright and fade fast.

Maybe you get a happy ending, or maybe your story doesn’t even start until the ending unravels.

When it comes to relationships, Lily McCandless has one rule: Live fast, have fun, and get out before it gets too serious. It was a rule that served her well until he came along and changed the entire game.

Miles Harris knew falling for Lily was dangerous. She warned him she couldn’t be held. He went after her anyway. Then, she agreed to be his wife. Game over. Happily. Ever. After. Until she left him in the dead of the night, leaving behind only her ring and three words scratched onto a piece of paper.

What happens to a love story that can’t find its way? Can love really rise from the ashes of an ending? Or will the past prove to be its final downfall?

(This book is a companion book to a previous book called On Paper. It will be able to be read as a stand alone, however, I’m willing to offer any reviewers a copy of On Paper to read if they’d like to read both.)

@lifeisbetterwithbooks - “I finished this book late last night, and my mind and emotions are still reeling from this wonderful, heartbreaking, relentless, amazing book.”
