Outmatched by Kristen Callihan and Samantha Young

Release Date: November 19, 2019

Outmatched, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by New York Times bestselling authors Kristen Callihan and Samantha Young.

What happens when a boxer finds chemistry with a geek?

Parker Brown can’t believe she needs to hire a fake boyfriend. When she landed her dream job in renewable energy, she thought she’d be entering a world at the forefront of progressive thinking. But the head boss prefers to promote employees who are “settled.” Thankfully, she’s found the perfect candidate, a fellow intellectual looking for some quick cash. What Parker gets is his protective big brother—Rhys Morgan. The tall, muscled ex-boxer with a foul mouth shows up just as her boss does, and now she’s stuck with the manipulative jerk.

Responsibility weighs heavily on Rhys. Now permanently out of the ring, he’s trying to hold together his late father’s gym and keep his younger brother, Dean, on the straight and narrow. To save Dean from himself, Rhys takes his place, ready to give this society girl a piece of his mind. Instead, he finds an opportunity. Even though they can hardly stand each other, posing as Parker’s boyfriend is a win-win deal. She gets to keep her job, and he’ll charm her star-struck boss into sponsoring his gym.

Problem is, they can barely keep their hands off each other. And what started as an easy deal isn’t so easy anymore. Because what future can a rough ex-boxer, afraid to open his heart, and a polished society geek, who has sworn off real relationships, possibly have?

They say opposites attract. These opposites are about to combust on impact.

Excerpt:

AngryTink: Hey. This is Parker. Parker Brown.

My phone dinged loudly. I fumbled around my bed, finally finding the damn thing under a pillow. Wiping the sleep off my face, I rolled onto my back and read the text that had pulled me out of a pleasant sleep. I smiled. It was just so … Parker. Settling in, I answered her.

RhysThis: Don’t have to tell me who you are. Your number is programmed on my phone. What do you want?

AngryTink: Well, good morning to you too, Happy Pants.

My smile turned into an evil grin. The girl was always going to punch back and make it count.

RhysThis: That’s Mr. Happy Pants. Though, TBH, my pants aren’t too happy at the moment. Want to help me out with that?

AngryTink: Tempting. Truly. But, no.

RhysThis: RU sure? ‘Cuz Happy Pants Rhys is much more agreeable than Sad That He Had to Self-Satisfy Rhys.

AngryTink: Would you please behave?

RhysThis: I’m not the one who mentioned the emotional state of my pants.

AngryTink: ARGH!

A chuckle rumbled in my chest as my thumbs tapped out a response I knew would piss her off more.

RhysThis: Was that even English? Honestly, Ms. Brown, I thought you were educated.

She took a moment to answer. I could picture her, phone in hand, grinding her teeth.

AngryTink: You’re deliberately trying to annoy me, aren’t you?

RhysThis: You’re quick. I’ll give you that.

AngryTink: Mr. Morgan, I’m about ten seconds away from finding an alternate fake boyfriend. A goat on a rope would be a better candidate at this point.

It was cute she thought that was threatening.

RhysThis: Yeah, probably. But the goat doesn’t have a signed contract. I do, Tinker Bell.

AngryTink: ARGH@!!

RhysThis: You’re kind of cute when you talk pirate.

Outmatched is a sweet sports romance. I am really struggling with how to express my thoughts on this one. This will probably be the shortest review I have written on a book, other than a novella.

While I enjoyed the story and really liked the characters, it took me way too long to read this book. I found myself having no drive to finish the book but I did want to know what happened within the pages, even though I know the characters get their HEA. I think part of the drive was wondering what would happen to finally get them there, but what kept me from digging in was the lack of really strong characters and plot.

If I have confused you in the slightest, then you understand why I am struggling to write this review. LOL In all honesty, I think it was the small bits of drama thrown in that kept me interested, but the pace of the story kept me from reading faster and diving in at any chance I could.

All in all – I can see many people enjoying this book. I think had it been more fast paced, I would have it been more compelled to read it in a shorter time frame. And please don’t think I wanted an insta-romance (I am the last person to ever want that), but everything just moved slower than I would like. I did enjoy them getting to know one another felt the actual timeline made sense – but the flow just wasn’t for me. The characters felt authentic and the secondary characters kept things entertaining.

Overall, a sweet book with a dash of drama to add some flair to the story line. I love both authors dearly and definitely looking forward to reading future books from each.

Release Day Blitz….In The Unlikely Event by L.J. Shen

by Courtney

“The perfect blend of soul crushing angst, laugh out loud wit and heart melting romance.”–Helena Hunting, New York Times bestselling author

From USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author L.J. Shen comes a new, contemporary romance with heart-wrenching twists and laugh-out-loud moments. This standalone is like no other by this author. In The Unlikely Event is available now!

“Romance masterpiece” – Kylie Scott, New York Times bestselling author

Sometimes you meet people who are out of this world, so you make them a part of yours.

A one-night stand born from vengeance in a foreign land.

An explosive chemistry neither of us could deny.

We signed a contract on the back of a Boar’s Head Pub napkin that said if we ever met again, we would drop everything and be together.

Eight years and thousands of miles later, he’s here.

In New York.

And he’s America’s music obsession.

The intangible Irish poet who brings record executives to their knees.

The blizzard in my perfect, unshaken snow globe.

Last time we spoke, he was a beggar with no intention of becoming a king.

But a king he became, and now I’m his servant.

I’m not the same broken princess Malachy Doherty put back together with his callused hands.

I have a career I love.

A boyfriend I adore.

An apartment, a roommate, a life.

I changed. He changed, too.

But Mal kept the napkin.

Question is, will I keep my word?

About CD Reiss

CD Reiss is a New York Times bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn’t pick up she’s at the well hauling buckets.

Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master’s degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere but it did give her a big enough ego to write novels.

She’s frequently referred to as the Shakespeare of Smut which is flattering but hasn’t ever gotten her out of chopping that cord of wood.

If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.

The Fall of Legend by Meghan March…Review

by Courtney

About The Fall of Legend:

From New York Times bestselling author Meghan March comes a new deliciously dangerous alpha hero in The Fall of Legend, the first book in the brand new and utterly addictive Legend trilogy.

We come from two different worlds.

I’m from the streets. She might as well live in an ivory tower.

I made my living with my fists. I doubt she could even throw a punch.

Our paths never should have crossed.

We never should have met.

That doesn’t change the facts.

I would sell my soul to taste those red lips.

Fight the devil himself to hear her laugh.

Burn in hell to have a single night.

Scarlett Priest shouldn’t even know men like me exist, but sometimes temptation is stronger than will.

If this is how I go down, it’ll be worth every second of the fall.

The Fall of Legend is the start of Meghan’s newest trilogy. As with all of Meghan’s books, you know you’re going to get drama and high stakes. This book is no stranger to any of that.

We are immediately thrown into some suspense with Scarlett finding herself kidnapped & wrapped up in a rug. When she comes face to face with her captors, it’s none other than the myth himself, Gabriel Legend. Except she has no clue why she’s there. And when he presents her with a proposition, her only option is to accept.

What neither expected when Scarlett agreed to his proposition was their inability to stay away from one another. But there’s one problem, Scarlett’s boyfriend and VP of her father’s company.

Meghan does a great job of giving us small pieces of a bigger puzzle that has us guessing what could possibly happen in future books. Legend himself has quite the sketchy past and we only know bits and pieces and what led him to where he is now.

The suspense of Legend’s past plus the unknown with Scarlett’s boyfriend keep things even more interesting. I love the dynamics between Scarlett and Legend. It’s a beautiful buildup and when they let go – WOW!!

I’m excited to see where this trilogy goes and what is unraveled in future books. Meghan has definitely found her niche in this romance world and writes these stories beautifully.

About the author:

Making the jump from corporate lawyer to romance author was a leap of faith that New York Times, #1 Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author Meghan March will never regret. With over thirty titles published, she has sold millions of books in nearly a dozen languages to fellow romance-lovers around the world. A nomad at heart, she can currently be found in the woods of the Pacific Northwest, living her happily ever after with her real-life alpha hero.

Release Day Blitz & Review….His Royal Highness by R.S. Grey

by Courtney

R.S. Grey’s next romantic comedy, HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS, is available today! Find out more below and grab your copy now!

About HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS

I’ve spent eight years wishing I’d fall out of love with Derek Knightley. Blowing out birthday candles, chasing after shooting stars, making it rain spare change into mall fountains—every time it’s the same wish: forget about Derek.

But the day he walks back into my life, I realize there are two things time has yet to soften: my feelings for him and his chiseled jawline.

It’s infuriating that my heart still races when he walks into a room. I refuse to fall prey to old unrequited love, so I decide the less I’m around him, the better. Avoidance is key.

Unfortunately, Derek isn’t going to make it easy. As a teenager, I would have crawled on my hands and knees to attract his attention. Now I can’t seem to escape it.

I’m not sure why he’s bothering. He’s not just out of my league—he’s out of my tax bracket. As the sole heir to the Knightley Company, he’s as close to American royalty as you can get. As for me, I’m just a part-time princess at Knightley’s flagship magical theme park.

I spend my days playing make-believe, but Derek has no use for fairytales. His unwavering confidence makes it clear he thinks I’ll surrender in the end.

He’s just biding his time.

Making me sweat.

His Royal Highness always gets what he wants.

And he wants me.

Ok – first off, I swear this cover is Rachel and her husband!! And if it’s truly not, well, it should be!!

As you all know, the contemporary romance reads are ones that I must be in right mindset to read and truly be in the mood to read them. However, I can never not read anything that R.S Grey releases, whether I am in the mood or not.

His Royal Highness is truly a fairytale romance that will melt hearts. And while I may have not been in the right mindset when I started reading this, I can guarantee you that Rachel’s writing and her characters made me feel every single emotion while reading.

I loved this story so much. A story evolving from unrequited love to friends to lovers romance mingled with the perfect dose of angst – it’s a match made in heaven, or in this case, a theme park. While readers know that Whitney has (or had) strong feelings for Derek, it was watching Derek develop these new feelings as these got to know each other on another level.

Rachel always writes her characters with conviction and authenticity that’s is impossible to not be pulled into the story. For someone who is not a true contemporary romance lover, Rachel always pulls the emotions from me and makes me fall in love with fairytale stories, like this one.

His Royal Highness is a love story that is impossible to not love and enjoy all the sweetness that is packed into this book. Another fabulous story by the amazing R.S. Grey.

About R.S. Grey

William snagged a glass of champagne from a passing footman’s tray and
downed it in one gulp in time to deposit the empty glass on another, replacing
it with a second drink. A smirk flitted across his face when he spotted the
woman in the blue dress in the far corner. It had to be her with those curls
flowing magnificently to her lower back, the tips ending right above her ass –
an ass he could sink his teeth into. Why he needed to see her face, he didn’t
know or particularly care. Moving toward her, he noticed how she kept quiet and just observed the men around her.

And when she turned her head, William stopped dead in his tracks. As she
stood under the light of the chandelier, he noticed that her hair had a deep
reddish glow, a color he had certainly not seen before. She was quite young,
not yet a woman. Her skin seemed so soft to the touch. And her face was one he was most likely never to forget. Her eyes were a vibrant blue and magnificently huge, made even more remarkable because of her thick, reddish-brown curls. Her high cheekbones and deliciously plump, pink lips caught his attention next. The
lady had an air of innocence and arrogance that had his cock twitching in his pants. She was perusing the room with a perceptive expression, and her eyes passed William before she stopped and slowly looked back at him.

He kept his stare locked on her face. There was something familiar in her
features.

Her eyes widened a touch when he started to move toward her little group.

“Gentlemen.” He shook hands and smiled at her – she didn’t return the
favor.

They all greeted him and relayed him with questions about the gaming
club. William answered them while stealing glances at the girl, who was
starting to look for an escape.

Did she know William had seen her and her lover in the room?

What really bothered him was why no one had introduced her to him.

When a heated political discussion regarding liquor ignited, William took
his opportunity to talk to her.

She was standing right across from him now. He noticed that she was
neither short nor tall, but somewhere roughly in the middle. And she had a
small dusting of freckles on her nose.

“I don’t believe we’ve been introduced, Miss…”

She arched a perfectly plucked brow but kept silent, leaving William at a
loss for words – for the first time ever. She definitely knew he’d caught her
in a lover’s embrace.

As he leisurely examined her, he realized she was indeed young but made a considerable effort to look older with makeup and a revealing low cut dress, the swell of her small breasts that were on display absolutely enthralling to him. He took a sip of his drink and kept gawking at her over the rim of his glass since he was enjoying how uncomfortable his attention was making her.

“Stop staring at me,” she hissed, low enough for only William to hear.

A corner of his mouth slowly rose. “Why so shy?”

She straightened her back and ran her fingers through her hair, that air
of arrogance still surrounding her, and William thought that perhaps she was
one of Anne’s juvenile friends.

“Where were you during dinner?” he wanted to know.

Her lips trembled, and she glanced around anxiously.

Rudely, she spun around to leave, but William stopped her by the elbow,
releasing her immediately before anyone saw their encounter.

Then he slipped behind her, without touching, and leaned in close to her
ear. “Off to another rendezvous?”

Her head turned, their lips a breath apart, and she answered while gazing
at his mouth, “No, not everyone’s like you. At least I have the decency to find
the privacy of a room.”

Finally, she admitted that she’d seen him too, probably when he’d had
Anne pressed against the wall.

“Who are you?” he blurted, becoming slightly annoyed by her conceit.

She stepped away from him and gave him a brash grin that he felt directly
in his cock. “Wouldn’t you like to know…”

William was completely perplexed by this girl, and all he could think to
ask was, “How old are you?”

She didn’t utter a word.

“I’ll find out whether you tell me or not,” he added on a whisper.

Without acknowledging his statement, she paced away briskly, leaving the
other men oblivious to what had just transpired between the two of them.

William smiled at her retreating form, promising himself to find out more
about this smug woman.
