Until Ashlyn


BRING ON THE BOOM!
Meet Ashlyn & Dillon in Until Ashlyn.

NOW AVAILABLE



Dillon Keck knew Ashlyn Mayson was drunk when she suggested they get married. He knew he should have taken her back to their hotel room and put her to bed. Instead, he did what he had been craving to do since the moment they met.

Claim her as his.

Waking up married in Vegas isn't something Ashlyn Mayson ever thought would happen to her. Having Dillon, her boss, a man she thinks is a dick, insist they stay married is absurd, but every time he touches her, she gets lost in him and wonders if maybe they are meant to be together.

But someone isn't happy for Dillon and Ashlyn and their new found romance, and they're willing to do anything to keep them apart. Even commit murder.


Chapter 1
Ashlyn

“Hey, Mom,” I greet, tucking my phone between my ear and shoulder as I shove another dress and matching heels into my suitcase. I smile while I do, because Dillon will likely flip his lid when he sees my choices in attire for the weekend, but there is not one damn thing he can do about it since we won’t be in the office. So technically, his stupid rules don’t apply.

“Are you all packed?”

Publisher: Forever
Mass Market: $5.99 USD
eBook: $3.99 USD

The first book in a brand new contemporary romance series from New York Times bestselling author Erin Nicholas about three geeky girls and the hunky guys who fall for them.

Kiera Connelly leads a quiet life, and that's just how she likes it. She's built a name as a graphic designer and meets up with her friends online, all from the comfort of her living room couch. But when a rare outing turns disastrous, Kiera finds herself up close and way too personal with an unbelievably hot real-life hero.

Zach Ashley doesn't see himself as a hero. He's just a regular guy who gets to help people every day as an EMT. But when he's called to a scene and has to treat his most gorgeous patient ever, he finds himself mixing work with pleasure. He never hesitates to put his life on the line...but will he ever risk his heart?




She was still watching the ambulance, and she nodded absently. “Okay.”

He moved in front of her and crouched to get on eye level. “You can go right over and see them at the hospital. Mass General. If you’re not family, they might not be able to tell you much, but if you can get in touch with their families, they can come and sit with you, right?”

Series: True Heroes, #3
On Sale: December 20, 2016
Publisher: Forever
Mass Market: $6.99 USD
eBook: $5.99 USD

Hot military heroes, the women who love them, and the dogs who always have their backs. ABSOLUTE TRUST is the third book in a high-adrenaline romantic suspense series from Piper J. Drake.

LOVE IS THE GREATEST RISK OF ALL

After multiple tours of duty, Brandon Forte returns to his hometown on a personal mission: to open a facility for military service dogs like Haydn, a German shepherd who's seen his share of combat and loss. It also brings him back to Sophie Kim, a beacon of light in his life . . . and the one woman he can't have. But Forte's success means he's made enemies in high places. Enemies who are now after Sophie . . .

When Forte enlisted and left without saying goodbye, Sophie did her best to move on. But with her first love back in town, looking sexier than ever, she's constantly reminded of what they could have had. Then after he risks himself for her, Sophie realizes she'll have to put her life in the hands of the man who broke her heart, knowing the danger—and the sparks between them—could consume them both.



Sophie Kim must’ve come directly from work because, under her very sleek, black trench coat, she wore a matching pencil skirt. Three-inch red heels popped in contrast to the severe black of the rest of her outfit. Which did all sorts of things to him. Naughty things. The kind of things that were so good that they were really bad. Especially when a woman was off limits.

“Hey! Is that the new guy?” Sophie slowed her approach, keeping her gaze locked on Forte’s face.

A Love Letter to Whiskey

It’s crazy how fast the buzz comes back after you’ve been sober for so long.

Whiskey stood there, on my doorstep, just like he had one year before. Except this time, there was no rain, no anger, no wedding invitation — it was just us.

It was just him — the old friend, the easy smile, the twisted solace wrapped in a glittering bottle.

It was just me — the alcoholic, pretending like I didn’t want to taste him, realizing too quickly that months of being clean didn’t make me crave him any less.

But we can’t start here.

No, to tell this story right, we need to go back.

Back to the beginning.

Back to the very first drop.

This is my love letter to Whiskey. I only hope he reads it.



There's more courage in admitting you love someone and fighting for them than letting them go because it hurts less. 

Dear Kandi Steiner,

You're an evil author, you made me cry and I almost had a heart attack, but I LOVE YOU. Lol.
This book made me feel things that I haven't felt in a long time and I didn't think I would feel them again, you have made me fall in love with a book again.
I couldn't have asked for more, seriously. 

A Love Letter to Whiskey pulled at my heartstrings, it wrecked me and it was such a roller coaster ride that at some point I needed to stop reading because it was TOO MUCH.

I am going to be honest and say that I DON'T DO ANGST. I don't. My friends know that I steer away from it. Emotional pain? Nope, thank you.

But this story..I'm SO glad that I went in blind, because I would have missed out on one of the most powerful reading experiences of the year.

Whenever I could see some light at the end of the tunnel, someway the situation got even worse.

“Because that’s what life’s about. It’s about paddling out and fighting the waves until you find the perfect one to ride home on.” 

At some point, my emotions were all over the place, and I couldn't help, but cry. I was hurting with B. and Jamie and it felt like I was experiencing on my skin everything they were going through. 

The characters drove me so mad, though. I wanted to knock some sense into them, but at the same time, I got their reasons, I understood their fears.

"But sometimes, even when we know something is bad for us, we do it anyway. Maybe for the thrill, maybe to cure our curiosity, or maybe just to lie to ourselves a little longer." 

There was a specific scene that gave me goosebumps everywhere. It was so powerful and I found this scene such an amazing gift from the author to her readers. It was AMAZING. 
I know it's vague, but I really can't spoil anything for you because you have to experience it on your skin. That's the beauty of this story. Don't look for spoilers please, you won't get the same experience. 

I think the last time I read a book as angsty was when I read Thoughtless by S. C. Stephens. Angsty lovers, I know that there are many masochists like you out there, you're going to love this book! And for those who don't love angst, I get you, but at the same time I really hope you're going to give this book a try. It's one of the best reads I've had this year and I won't forget it easily.

This is the kind of book that you want everyone to read, so I hope you do! Such an unforgettable read!

It might make you cry.

It's real.

It’s us. Besties.

**Contains Adult Themes - This book can be read as a standalone**




Molly and Roman are two people suffering from heartache and trying to move on from their past relationships. Which is proving to be a lot harder than they thought it would be. For Molly she just wants to know why her ex left her the way he did. And Roman just wants to understand how his ex could be so selfish and why he still wants her as badly as he does. The two meet when they both need someone in their life and become besties. Feelings start to develop between them when they become close, but neither of them are in a place where they can start a new relationship. Can their friendship last through the attraction or will it ruin everything? 

Sigh. It's hard to form the words to describe how I felt about this book. I like the premise of it and I thought it was great how Roman and Molly started off as friends. But the way it all played out just wasn't my favorite and I was getting annoyed at these characters. Their friendship seemed too immature for my tastes and I just didn't find it funny like I think it was supposed to be. 

Molly was an all over the place character and I never got a true feeling of who she was. While Roman seemed almost non-existent in this book. It was told through Molly's POV only which I started to hate since there was so much going on in Roman's life that we never got to actually see or hear about in detail. His whole relationship with his ex made absolutely no sense to me and I never fully understood why he even thought he should go back with her. Maybe if we got to see that from his POV I would have gotten it, but as it was I didn't like it at all. 

Bottom line, I had issues connecting to these characters and their story was only okay for me. I think the thing that got my attention the most was hearing about Jack and his girl that he was trying to get. I would still recommend this book for fans of the series and think many people will enjoy it and like getting to see past characters again.

I m so happy I m are getting more of the Joker MC. I luvd the first 4 books so I was dyin for this book. I liked the overall story but I was left wanting more. Molly's character is good my heart went out to her throughout this book. She is dealing with a crappy breakup and her heart is broken. Life is just kicking her up the butt. Her family and family's are amazing. She just can't seem to get over Michael until she meets Roman walkin down the road. Molly knows of him but they aren't close close until fate puts them together. 

I did enjoy this book but I felt there was to much left open and I was left with loads of questions. I wanted more of the Roman and his ex storyline. It just seem to end and that was it. I felt it was a lil slow in parts. I did luv the relationship that Molly and Roman had they were so good together and really cute. They are both really good people and deserve to have a happy relationship and life. I actually thought this book seemed more personal than fictional which was good I felt that I was getting to know the author more. This book is a lot different to her others. I did miss the drama. This was emotional and I felt sorry for both characters. Even though I did feel a lil frustrated in parts though. This story really did pull at my heartstrings in loads of ways. I really liked parts of this book. 

I enjoyed getting to know a lil more from the other kids. It's made me want more. After getting to know Jack and Matilda more I m lookin forward to there books a lot. Jack has me really interested I think this series is goin to be brilliant.

Devouring the SECRET

A string of tragedies have made her cold and calculated

Faith is the Corrigan & Co. Foundation’s most successful agent. Seeking justice for others is the only thing that guides her. Until she meets a sexy stranger, and gives in to a night of passion. When he turns out to be a suspect in the mission she’s assigned to soon after, she’ll have to decide if it’s worth the risk to let love back into her life.

He was born with a silver spoon, but only wants a chef’s hat

Gavin can’t stop thinking about the woman he let go with for one night. When Faith shows up to interview for a job as his mother’s personal chef, he knows that working with her side by side in the kitchen will be torture. Until they both give in to what they feel, and it becomes so much more.

They’re both hiding from each other, and the past

While Faith tries to remain impartial, Gavin struggles with the need to protect his mother—and what he believes in. There are forces bigger than the two of them working behind the scenes, and they learn that you can’t outrun the past, no matter how hard you try. Is their love strong enough to make them stay and fight for it, or will running be the only option?

Secrets can multiply, and the biggest SECRET that’s revealed could bring down the entire foundation. Love alone may not be enough to save them, but friendship and loyalty just might.



Another excellent book to this series. I was dyin for this book after lil bits got in the last book. Faith is a great character she is a very controlled girl and they al are but Faith as had a few ups and downs in her life. The Foundation and Society are what have built Faith to be so in control an gave her the family that she needed. So when she saw Gavin a lil bit of the control seem to slip. 

Gavin is very hot and sexy. He can get control of his life his mum as a lil hold of him. But when he see Faith things go a lil different he wants her even though he isn't meant to she is someone he needs to get close to but not to close.

Brilliant book again couldn't get enough. I m dyin to read more of the series. I m really luvin the characters from this. They just seem to hook me in. I m dyin to know how things are goin to with this bunch of characters. The author really knows how to keep it al tied together. The story was really good. My heart went out to both characters in parts. They both went through a lot in this but they are great together and very sexy. I was wishing things could be more smoother for them. Life was rocky for these 2 but it made a really great story xxx.

Here’s a taste of Devil & Hailee 

I decided to be completely up-front with my thoughts. “Are you just after sex here? I mean, if you are, I’m on board with that, but I’d rather know going in what this is rather than thinking it could be more when that’s not what you’re thinking.”

He smiled harder and leant forward so he could kiss me. His lips on mine blazed a line of hunger along my skin. Every inch of me wanted more. And he didn’t disappoint.

Parting my lips, he deepened the kiss, his tongue searching for mine. He took my face in his hands, and his body slid across the lounge towards mine until we were touching.

I wanted to crawl into his lap and never let him end this kiss.

I wanted to rip his shirt off and put my hands all over his body.

God, I wanted to do so many dirty things to him—things I’d never done to another man, but had dreamt of.

“Darlin’,” he rasped, pulling his mouth from mine, which made me want to cry out my disappointment. “We need to stop this now or else I’m not gonna be able to stop. I’d happily fuck you on this lounge if it’s what you wanted, but I doubt it is.”

I took hold of his face. “I need your lips on mine for at least another five minutes, and if you can’t control yourself, that’s on you.” My words came out on a huff of bossy breathlessness, because that’s what a kiss from Devil did to me. I could only imagine what sleeping with him would do. Hell, he might cause me to stop breathing all together.

His eyes widened a fraction before he grinned. “Jesus, you’re something else, woman.” And then he gave me what I wanted.

And I knew what his answer would be about whether this was just sex or not.

This was never going to just be about sex.
