  What’s the actual last thing you’d ever want your executive assistant to see you doing the morning after you had hot, drunk, angry sex with her in a terrible hotel room? Dancing around your terrible hotel room to “Come and Get Your Love” like Star-Lord in 𝐺𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐺𝑎𝑙𝑎𝑥𝑦—naked? Yeah. Me too. And yet, here we are. This isn’t even the most unprofessional thing that’s happened between us in the past couple of weeks. The first was when I agreed to let her have Christmas Day off, but only if she goes with me to three family gatherings as my fake girlfriend. The second was when she caught me belting out a Christmas song on stage in the awful hotel bar. The third was the hot, drunk, angry sex that followed, but I do not regret it. And she hasn’t even found out the real reason I need her by my side this holiday season. I need to pull it together before I do the dumbest, most unprofessional thing of all—fall head over heels in love with the only assistant who’s lasted more than a month at the job and claims to hate me and my moods more than she hates eggnog.

My Review

This was a fun read! It moved quickly and I was lost in Maddie and Declan's story! Maddie was a patient administrative assistant. Dealing with Declan, she put up with a lot, but yet she still gave him sass. She didn't let him walk all over her. And she was the best assistant he'd ever had! However, when Declan needs a favor, lines start to blur. I liked the tension between them, the push/pull they had was strong! Declan showed pieces of himself to Maddie and she had a hard time saying no. I found myself laughing out loud and also swooning. This was an enjoyable holiday read. Be sure to grab your copy today! 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

 

  Before writing steamy romantic comedy novels, Kayley Loring got a BFA in creative writing from a Canadian university and had a fifteen-year career as a screenwriter in Los Angeles (under a different name). She mostly wrote PG-13 family comedies that studios would pay her lots of money for and then never make into movies. In 2017 she decided to move to the Pacific Northwest and write about all the fun stuff that she wasn't allowed to write about in those PG-13 scripts. Now she’s breathing cleaner air and writing dirtier words. It’s an adjustment she’s happily getting used to.

Kayley Loring - Troublemaker review

 

🔥🔥 HOT NEW RELEASE 🔥🔥

Troublemaker by Kayley Loring is LIVE!! A teacher is about to get schooled in matters of the heart by a single dad and his young son. #One-click today!

BLURB 

  TO: Alex Vega 

  FROM: Emilia Stiles 

  SUBJECT: Hello 

Dear Mr. Vega, 

  I felt it necessary to follow up on today’s meeting, since we weren’t able to speak candidly in front of your son. 

  I was shocked to discover that you are Ryder’s dad. Given that your ex-wife will be out of the country for a while and you are currently his primary caregiver, I’m sure you understand why we need to establish boundaries and etiquette. I think it would be best if we just pretend that we met in person for the first time today. 

  Your son is a very bright (flirtatious and talkative) student and since his education is a top priority for both of us, I hope I can count on you to respectfully refrain from grinning at me, using that sexy tone of voice, and undressing me with your annoyingly beautiful brown eyes if we should happen to interact with each other again in the future. 

Thanks so much, 

  Miss Stiles   

  TO: Emilia Stiles 

  FROM: Alex Vega 

  SUBJECT: Re: Well, hello again… 

Dear Miss Stiles, 

  Great to hear from you. My son’s education is indeed a top priority. As such, I respectfully agree to refrain from doing all of the aforementioned things. 

  However, I can’t promise to stop thinking about that kiss at the bar this summer. I’ve been thinking about it for the past month. It’s interesting how humorless and uptight you are about my son’s totally awesome personality, given that I have personally witnessed just how flirtatious and talkative you yourself can be when mildly intoxicated. 

You’re so welcome, 

 Alex 

 P.S. I volunteered to be a chaperone for your next field trip. See you then.

My Review

This book was so cute! I was very quickly lost in Emilia and Alex's story. I enjoyed how Emilia and Alex first met and it was fun to see them meet again. Both Emilia and Alex are past the sowing wild oats period in their lives and they have stable lives. Emilia is focused on herself and doing what she loves, which is teaching. She moved to a new city to start over and focus on her career. Alex is a dad first, director second. He puts Ryder first and will move his work schedule around for him. And Ryder is just the cutest thing ever! I enjoyed the flirting and banter between Alex and Emilia. The chemistry between them was palpable. The story easy to get lost in and realistic. I was lost in the feels and couldn't read this book fast enough. I highly recommend this book!

Kayley Loring - Charmer review and excerpt

🔥🔥 HOT NEW RELEASE 🔥🔥

Charmer by Kayley Loring is LIVE!! You will be enchanted by this steamy romantic comedy about Nico, a dreamy singer-songwriter who falls hard for a single mom and her young son! #OneClick today!

NICO

  She serves me coffee late at night when I come around to write lyrics, but it’s not the caffeine I’ve gotten addicted to.
  We’ve got the spark, but she’s the only woman in town who seems to be immune to my charms.
  When it’s time for me to leave for my cross-country tour, I just can’t imagine not seeing her for months.
  So I offer her a job on the road with me.

  KAT

  Everyone in LA knows that Nico Todd has a way with songs and with the ladies.
  What he doesn’t know is that I would love to let him have his way with me.
  But my life can only revolve around one infuriatingly cute guy— the six-year-old that I live with.    Imagine my surprise when Nico finds out about my little boy and tells me to bring him and my mom on the road too.
  And imagine Nico’s surprise when he realizes my son is the biggest charmer of them all.

My Review

Ooh boy! I was very quickly lost in Nico and Kat's journey. This story was such a sweet, emotional and a joy to read. Kat is a single mom, doing her thing. While it's not the life she imagined, she does what needs to be done that's best for her kid. Nico meets Kat because of her job and there is a definite chemistry between them. A musician isn't what Kat wanted and she tried to steer clear of, but the pull between them was strong. I enjoyed watching their relationship evolve and the care and compassion Nico had toward Kat's son. Her mom was quite the character and their relationship wasn't easy, but it felt realistic and they had to work at it. I was lost in this read and think you should take a chance on this sexy musician, too! 

EXCERPT

I may have studied to be on the wrong side of the camera, because I am the Meryl Streep of acting like I don’t want to lock myself in a closet with Nico Todd and lick him all over.

I can feel his beautiful brown eyes on me as I walk away, but I’m not going to look back at him. If I look back at him, he’ll think I’m flirting. And I’m not flirting. I’m just a really awesome waitress who obsesses about the well-being and voice and eyelashes and butt and hands and full lips of all my customers. I check in with my other table to see if these non-Nico people want anything else, and quickly glance over my shoulder at him.

He’s scribbling in his notebook. Not looking at me. Good. Why should he? 

But praise the Disney gods, he grew up good. I wasn’t a huge fan of that wizard show—always more of a movie nerd—but I watched the first season if I was at home when it was on. I was thirteen and my friends had pictures of Shane Miller and Nico Todd up in their lockers. I may have had Annie Leibovitz portraits and stills from Ken Burns documentaries taped to mine, but I had eyes and hormones. Still do! 

I didn’t recognize him immediately the first time I saw him walk into the coffee shop, but my stomach flipped in a way that it hadn’t in years. We get all kinds of celebrities in here pretty much every night, because Beachwood is that kind of neighborhood. It’s a casual hipster restaurant, so most people roll in here wearing T-shirts and jeans, unless they’re talent agency doucheholes. But some people look better in T-shirts and jeans than others. Some people have that glow about them, even in a dimly lit retro coffee shop. And all the other waitresses who were on that shift were talking about Nico in the back of the house. It seemed like every one of them knew someone or had heard about someone who’d been out with him—once or twice. I’ve been somewhat out of the loop for about six years, so that was the first I’d heard of him becoming a musician, and that was when I knew for certain that he’d be off-limits for me. 

But I mean, it’s my job to take good care of him while he’s here. And to occasionally wonder what the fuck he’s up to when he isn’t here. And to think about him every time I take a shower. 

Because once I had listened to him on Spotify, I became a fan.

I fell in love with the songs and tried to stay detached from the singer.

Which is impossible, because he’s so good. His voice is sexy, sure, but he has this way of singing with his whole heart and soul even though he isn’t usually belting things out. And he’s got magic fingers because the way he plays guitar—I swear it feels like he’s strumming my clitoris. His songs are cool but warm at the same time, like an ice cream sundae. They’re all about women, of course, and it’s so easy to close your eyes and picture him singing to you. Even the songs that are about things not working out with a girl are somehow poignant and swoony.

But by the tenth time I’d listened to every song on all of his albums, I realized something: even though he writes and sings love songs—he never once says the words “I love you.”

Which is why he’d be nothing but trouble.

But I can still appreciate his talent when I’m alone, in the privacy of my bedroom.

I can still have a crush on him.

Everyone needs a little crush to get through the day.

Kayley Loring - Sleeper review

🔥🔥 HOT NEW RELEASE 🔥🔥

Sleeper by Kayley Loring is LIVE!! Stop what you’re doing and #OneClick today!!

BLURB
SHANE MILLER SLEEP DIARY:    
Went to bed at: Late.
How long it took to fall asleep: Forever. I have insomnia. Duh. 
Number of caffeinated beverages you had consumed: Zero. Thanks for advising me to quit!

My stress level is off the charts. 
I can’t sleep right on a normal day, and lately my days are filled with the best kind of chaos. 
My ex-wife and husband number two are filming in Poland for three months, so I’m turning down movie parts to focus on the most important role of my life— impossibly charming and somewhat capable young single dad.
My son won’t stop asking questions.
My daughter won’t brush her teeth unless I sing her showtunes.
Our regular nanny quit.
The only person I could trust to hire as a temp nanny is my best friend’s sister.

If Mary Poppins and Bill Murray had a baby it would be Willa. 
Fresh out of grad school and beautifully weird. 
She hates my movies, and my kids adore her. 
I couldn’t sleep last night because she wasn’t here. 
Turns out I can’t sleep unless she’s in my house now. 
Turns out she’s what’s been missing from my life all along. 
If my friend had any idea what I want to do to his gorgeous troublemaker of a sister, he would smother me with a pillow.

The chances of us succeeding as a couple are about as good as that little indie movie that I made being a huge hit. 
But it’s a chance I’m going to take.

My Review

I was very intrigued by this book! This is my first from Kayley and far from my last! I enjoyed the banter between Willa and Shane. The chemistry between them was palpable and the slow burn was hot! The characters and their relationships felt realistic and I was very quickly lost in their story. I liked the unique jobs Willa was doing. I was intrigued by her perfume making. I enjoyed the kids she was taking care of. The story felt believable and I didn't want the story to be over! If you like fun banter, sexy times and a sweet story, then this is one you don't want to miss. Grab your copy today!
