Sale Blitz: Driven to Temptation by Melia Alexander & Tempting Mr. Wrong by Kerri Carpenter

#GetTempted for ONLY .99 Cents

TEMPTING MR. WRONG

Wrong Man #2

Kerri Carpenter

Entangled Lovestruck

A little temptation never hurt anyone…

Lance Townsend craves freedom after years living a structured existence in the Army. But just as he’s about to start on his bucket list, Lance receives an unexpected request: check in on his goddaughter. The problem? The adorable little girl’s aunt is the one woman he’s never been able to forget.

Carly Quigley can’t believe her brother’s best friend, the man who jilted her years ago, is at her door. He claims her brother asked him to check in on her niece and their fixer-upper, but all either of them can focus on is their undeniable attraction. Carly knows Lance is counting down the hours to leave, which makes him the wrong man for her. Unfortunately, the wrong man has become oh-so-tempting.

Each book in the Wrong Man series is a standalone, full-length story that can be enjoyed out of order.
 

DRIVEN TO TEMPTATION

Driven to Love #1

Melia Alexander

Entangled Lovestruck

She’s a gorgeous distraction he can’t afford…or ignore.

Aidan Ross might be an engineering genius, but people skills? Not this soldier’s forte. Thankfully, a trusted friend is accompanying him to a make-or-break tradeshow…but then a bubbly redhead hops into his truck, claiming to be his new road trip buddy. She’s a gorgeous distraction he can’t afford. Or ignore.

Delaney Harper comes from a family of engineers—maleengineers. With several impressive projects under her belt, she’s on a mission to prove she can hang with the big boys, too. But cracking the sexy, closed-off CEO is tougher than she expects…and hotter than she could have imagined.

With the tempting woman disrupting his carefully planned schedule, Aidan can’t focus on the road, much less their upcoming presentation. The future of his company is riding on this trip, and if they’re to land a huge account, he has to keep his head—and his heart—in the game…

Kerri Carpenter began writing in her grandmother's kitchen at the age of seven in a small town outside of Pittsburgh, PA. A life-long fan of reading, she got lost in the worlds of The Baby-sitters Club and Sweet Valley High. She also assumed that everyone had characters and plots forming in their heads at all times.

Once she turned to romance novels, she couldn't get enough of books with happy endings, so she started writing her own. Now, Kerri writes contemporary romances, usually set in small towns. She enjoys reading, cooking, watching movies, taking Zumba classes, rooting for Pittsburgh sports teams, and anything sparkly. Kerri lives in Northern Virginia with her adorable (and mischievous) poodle mix, Harry.

Melia Alexander is the author of sassy, sexy, fun contemporary romances, but is also fortunate to spend her week days at The Male Observation Lab (a.k.a. her job at a construction company) where she gets to observe guys in their natural habitat. Though they often behave like typical alpha males, in many instances she's seen through their personas to the heart of who they really are - the heroes of their own stories.

A native of Guam, Melia traded in warm, tropical breezes for the rainy Pacific Northwest. She's an avid reader who also loves romantic comedies - preferably with a glass of CabSauv and a box of chocolates nearby. In her free time, she's busy conquering her CrossFit fears: ring dips, muscle snatches, and the dreaded 800 meter run. Her family appreciates her attempts at cooking and cleaning, although she spends it mostly daydreaming about her characters, which sometimes results in a burnt meal and a half-cleaned house.

Review: Love & Rockets by Maggie Wells

Smart is the new sexy…

They say if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen, but it’s not the sauce at The Pit BBQ that has Darla Kennet breaking a sweat. The sassy single mom has waited tables in Mobile for years to support herself and her daughter, Grace, and she’s never let anything get her rattled…until now.  Somehow, handsome aerospace engineer Jake Dalton has gotten under her skin.

Although they went to school together, Jake doesn’t remember much about Darla. Back then the brainiac future rocket scientist always had his head in a book. But now that a chance meeting has him helping Grace apply to space camp, he’s been pulled into Darla’s orbit. And it isn’t long before Jake and Darla have a heated meeting of their own celestial bodies. The trouble is, Jake wants more. Convincing cautious, fiercely independent Darla to trust him with her heart just may be his most challenging mission yet…

Expected publication: November 22nd 2016 by Lyrical Shine      

Terri's Thoughts

I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley.  Thank you! In return I offer my honest opinion.  This book will be published on November 22nd.

This story is part of the Coastal Heat series however can be read as a stand alone.  I have read all of the stories that came before this one however I do not feel it is a requirement.  The characters in the other books are mentioned and are present, but you would not feel like you are missing something.

So this is a short book so there is not a lot that I can say that isn't covered by the synopsis.  This story is written for those who like their stories hot and their characters hotter.  Those who appreciate a good steamy scene or three, look no further.  For those who avoid them you may want to look elsewhere.

In all honesty you pretty much know what you are going to get when you pick up this story and that is exactly what is delivered.  It really doesn't venture far from the standard formula.  I did like the fact that Jake was geeky hot, and not what can be found typically in this sort of story.  He was smart and a little bit uncoordinated but don't worry ladies, when he undressed he was still the drool worthy fantasy that you are looking for.

This story allowed me to sweat through my workout without realizing I was working out so it was a good distraction.

Kristine's Thoughts:

** I received a digital copy of this book directly from the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!**

This book centred around a bunch of privileged white women who, with the exception of one, lived in the prestigious South African gated community of Vitner's Estate. I myself have never been to Cape Town or South Africa but I have friends who were there not long ago. It was interesting to read about it after hearing about the time that they spent there. I enjoyed the setting tremendously.

It has always astounded me how money, status and prestige can shape a person and it was made quite evident within the pages of this book. It showcased the darker side of power by showing some of the uglier aspects of wealth. Friendships with strings and back stabbing were plenty in this book.

I enjoyed getting to know all of the women in this book and for the most part I liked them. Of course there is always that one villain that we all love to hate. That was very evident with Elizabeth. She reminded me of that popular girl in high school that nobody really liked but everyone wanted to be friends with because of the benefits that came with it. Of course Elizabeth was an adult, with more money and power, and one of the biggest case of the "entitlements" that I have ever seen.

The women were all very different with very different life stories. There were buried secrets, hidden jealousy's and growing ambitions intermingled within the estate walls. Unravelling over a period of time, these women and there stories captured me and swept me away. I enjoyed every minute that I spent getting lost in the pages of this book. I'm not sure how I feel about the ending but thoroughly enjoyed getting there.
