FROM THE DESK OF CJ CARTWRIGHT:

Hello!

It's almost the weekend! I don't know about you, but it's been a loooong week this week. Each day has just dragged by. September is always complete chaos in our household. Birthdays, school starting, work gets wildly busy... it's a zoo.

Which is why I am taking the weekend off from everything and spending my days off with BOOKS! Reading them, writing them, visiting them at the library - books, books, books! If anyone needs me, I will be in my book cave with my Kindle, a thermos of tea, my ideas notebook, and a GIGANTIC bag of peanut M&Ms. Reading forts. They aren't just for kids. ;)

Speaking of glorious bookish things... did you know you could win a "Bossy Book Boyfriend Prize Pack" from the authors of the Men of the C-Suite collaborative? Just click the link and get your entries squared away!

If you haven't picked up a copy of Malicious Compliance yet, what are you waiting for? Grab this short, steamy little beauty for 99c (or FREE on Kindle Unlimited!) and dive in for a quick escape this weekend!

You can also check out some more contemporary sports romances in this book fair OR pick up more office romance in the whole Men of the C-Suite collection here.

Need more inspo? Read on for TEN reader recommendations, free books, and or books on sale! I'm confident you'll be able to find a new book for your Kindle. Look for the red kiss of approval for books I'm personally recommending!

1. 💋 *Kindle Unlimited/Audible* Worth It by S.M. Shade and C.M. Owens || hysterical, steamy, contemporary romance ||👏😂. I laughed until I laugh-cry-snorted. Have you ever laugh-cry-snorted at a book? It's an alarming noise of delight that terrified the crap out of my cat. But you know what? This book gives me JOY. I read it in KU and then bought it immediately so I can have it forever. If you need something ridiculous, steamy and satisfying - check this GEM out. -cj
2. 💋*FREE* Game On by Britney Bell || short, contemporary sports romance || "My brother's best friend... he should be off limits, right? One click to find out if he's as good as her dreams, or will he be a dud in the sack?? || 👏 This book was so fun! I read it in one sitting!! -cj

4. 💋*99c Sale* Notorious Man on Campus by Stephanie Queen || standalone, steamy contemporary romance w/enemies-to-lovers + football || Why I one-clicked: "If you love stories where the giant, immovable oak in the form of a smokin' hot football god is felled by an unlikely spitfire in a battle of wills and forbidden attraction, you'll love this one." 👏 Um, this language speaks to me ON ALL LEVELS. Can't wait to read it. -cj
