Are you addicted to romance?
💞Hello my wonderful reader friends!
See the answer, according to an expert, below! August has been steamy around here and I have some steamy reads to share with you, perfect for binge reading on your summer vacation--because you deserve it!
Me? I'm busy finishing up He Has a Baby, my (hot) single daddy romance for the Irresistible Hot Single Daddies anthology coming soon.
AND I'm working on Notorious Man on Campus featuring Brick. I'm obsessed with him--in a good way. He fascinates me. He's tragic and heroic and deeply flawed. You'll be desperate to see him redeemed by love and get his HEA! This story is set to sizzle with all those things that make you want to be there on campus and become part of the story and friends with the characters.
That's how I feel while I'm writing, like I live in the story world. Especially my St. Paul University world with Jack, Joni, Ben, Jazzy, Kace, Glory, George & Izzy! And who could forget Dooley?
Now I'm completely into Brick and Nyla who start off in Notorious Man on Campus as bitter enemies.... but deep down, are they really?
Another bridal shower weekend - My good friend hosted a Jack & Jill shower for her daughter with a hilarious *bridal* parade pictured here! It's a good thing she has a pool because the day was scorching and we ended up spending hours in the water. 💞
Meanwhile, Football season is back! 💜 🏈 I've already watched 3 pre-season games and I'm enjoying checking out the new rookie quarterbacks to see if they live up to their hype. There were quite a few top QB picks in the draft this year, including Mack Jones with the Patriots who looks good--so far. 🏈
P.S. When I say I'm *enjoying checking them out*, I mean how they're playing--mostly.
What Am I Reading? This week I'm listening to Blindsided - a Moo U Hockey Romance by Victoria Denault.
How about you? What do you think of hockey romance?

IN THE NEWS: ARE YOU ADDICTED TO ROMANCE?
According to an article on Women.com, though the addiction label is being tossed around carelessly by some advice gurus, experts Dr. Amy Muise and Dr. Bjarne Holmes state that "just because something is pleasurable (and releases pleasure chemicals in the brain) does not necessarily mean it is addictive - despite what any "Guru" might claim."

Exciting NEXT Book in the BMOC series! Release Date September 26th:
Notorious Man on Campus
A broken boy faces his worst nightmare, his enemy, an irresistible forbidden girl.
She's the one responsible for almost tearing his family apart, for the rift between Brick and his older brother and father.
Somehow the idea that he can redeem himself and fix the rift in his family got all wrapped up in him being a football star and making it to the pros.
But it's all in jeopardy now, his shot at the pros and at redeeming himself with his brother and father, because Nyla is that girl, the one he has to hate so he can stay away from her--while they live under the same roof for his entire senior year...
I shouldn't be so excited about a book I've barely started writing, but I am!!
This one is going to be epic. It's a classic bad boy, enemies-to-lovers romance with a deep dark secret about what makes this bad boy, Brick, so broken and so untrusting of women--especially of her, Nyla Rhoades.

SPECIAL AUTHOR
Half a Dozen With Love by Mona Risk
When a tragic accident deprived Tammy Fletcher of her loving parents at the age of nineteen, she pledged to take care of her five brothers and sisters, ranging in age from eight months to sixteen years. But she’s up against her greedy step-aunt who wants to get her hands on the children’s trust fund, and the CPS caseworker who insists on putting the children in the foster care system.
Dr. Jack Conan, the orthopedic surgeon treating the children’s grandmother, is both impressed by Tammy’s efforts to keep the family together and irresistibly attracted to the gorgeous and so-serious young woman. Determined to help her, Jack goes out of his way to solve her dilemma. Will his unorthodox solution only complicate Tammy’s problems—or bring her into his arms?
