Mr. Bloomsbury

5 Stars

Louise Bay brings the ultimate swoony grouch to Mr. Bloomsbury for a grudgingly passionate surrender to love.

Andrew Blake had boundaries, in fact this character was an emotional fortress. No one was getting close to him other than his few trusted friends and certainly not a love interest. Then came Sofia Rossi, with her determined pursuit of finding positive solutions for her rocky life even if it meant going toe to toe with the most difficult man she had ever come across. With witty banter, sizzling attraction and startling revelations this couple had no problem keeping up with each other, consistently keeping this story interesting. Andrew was a lesson in patience but worth every frustrating growl that he emitted just as Sofia was the kind of woman who was as charming as she was assertive, standing her ground and refusing to be a doormat. That this author was able to make this couple work shows the strength of her character vision and resulted in a fantastic dynamic that readers will love.

Louise Bay always does an amazing job of keeping her audience invested in her works and this shows in the interconnected world she has created her Mister series. It is virtually impossible not to be captivated by Louise Bay's stories and Mr. Bloomsbury drives that fact home for another wonderful love affair for her characters and readers alike. A sure bet for a favorite story Mr. Bloomsbury was head butting and hearts capitulating at its very best!

How Good It Was

By: Scarlett Cole

Release Date: February 22, 2022

Publisher: Kadelo Group Ltd

Author Website: http://www.scarlettcole.com/

4.5 Stars

Luke Bryson the drummer of the Sad Friday's was on a spiral of self destructive behavior. Willow Warner was everyone's favorite social media influencer, yet struggled with who she wanted to be and who everyone thought she was. When a one night stand came back with a positive pregnancy test priorities changed. A deal to stay together for a year and then go their separate ways seemed like a simple solution until it wasn't .

This was a slow build up romance focusing not only on the main characters as a couple but individually. There was lots of introspection and dealing with personal baggage making this an extremely personal and emotional read. Luke and Willow had more in common than what people might see at first glance. Both were sensitive individuals muddling through mountains of hurt and dealing with parents who put their own interest before their children’s. How do you stand up for yourself when the very people who are supposed to take care of you take advantage of you? While Luke and Willow dealt with their hurt differently they did share a pain that held them captive. Luke's need to make sure everyone important to him was taken care of at the expense of his own happiness and Willow's compliance to the detriment of her happiness served as a bond for them. Both these characters held unrealistic expectations on their shoulders and it was not until they dealt with their burdens that they realized how damaging they were to themselves. Their recognition of each other's pain and the friendship and support that developed between them was as encouraging as it was heartbreaking. There was no shortage of poignant revelations and emotional moments in this work. This pair's physical connection was as steamy as their personal connection was touching.

Scarlett Cole excels at capturing heart-clenching moments, the ones that go to that place where her portrayals struggle with their inner fears and insecurities. Each of this author's books demonstrates a wide scope of understanding of her characters causing them to practically jump off the pages and making her stories richer because of this. How Good It Was shows just how good Scarlett Cole is as a writer, a definite must read!

Always Meant to Be

By: Siobhan Davis

Release Date: February 28, 2022

Publisher: Siobhan Davis

Author Website: http://siobhandavis.co.uk/

5 Stars

Siobhan Davis explores a connection that was timeless, defying obstacles and showing the power of love in Always Meant to Be for a truly touching story.

When Vander Henley and Kendall Hawthorne met their bond was immediate, like lost pieces fitting together. The issue was Vander was 17 years younger than Kendall and her son's best friend. To further complicate matters each had toxic ties to others. Initially their relationship was platonic, one of support and kindness as they intuitively felt an uncommon depth of understanding toward each other, but as time moved forward and circumstances changed there was no denying that what they felt for each other had evolved to a whole other level of attachment and attraction.

Siobhan Davis devised a beautiful story of soul mates finding each other in Always Meant to Be and that premise allowed her audience to get behind the significant age difference that existed between Vander and Kendall. Vander was not presented as a young boy but as an old soul possessing the strength and maturity of all his previous life times. There were moments in this work when circumstances pointed out the age gap between this couple but when they were together they were timeless making the difference in their ages insignificant joining one on one as equals and peers. With her usual flair for drama and villains Ms. Davis drove this story hard making this couple work for their happy ending. Unrepentant, this writer brought light to areas that lay on the fringes of what many might deem taboo yet proved that this love was more than acceptable.

There just is not anything Siobhan Davis writes that she does not put her whole heart into and it shows in every emotional word she shares with her readers. Some might say this author's specialty is intricate plot twist but her intense connections just might take top billing. Having a large body of work that is full of consistently wonderful stories, containing abundant surprises and couples to love, once again Ms. Davis' proves her talent and longevity. Siobhan Davis' Always Meant to Be will not only grab reader’s attention but ultimately their hearts!

Endless Encore

By: Kaylene Winter

Release Date: February 17, 2022

Publisher: Rockstar Romance, LLC

Author Website: https://rockerromance.com/

5 Stars

Kaylene Winter's Endless Encore embodies everything you would expect in a Rocker romance, the good, the bad and sometimes the very ugly. This book was a continuation of Ty and Zoey's original story, Endless, starting off slow and contemplative giving readers a chance to immerse themselves in this couple's feelings.  By the second half of this book this author's audience was thrown into the full on meltdown of Ty. Readers could see Kaylene Winter shine as a writer as inner musings started to take form and suppressed emotions started to surface and escalate, set off by a series of difficult events. The volume of angst in this work was palpable and the tsunami of tragedies kept coming at a speed that made sure readers could understand why Ty was thrown off balance. There was no shortage of drama in this work. The deep connection of Ty and Zoey was put to the test in Endless Encore but their love was shown to be stronger than they gave it credit for. Of note this author did an admirable job of depicting mental illness.

Kaylene Winter does not do anything in half measures. Her stories are full of details and her emotional writing is immersive. Not only does this author personalize each of her cover couples but she creates social media and events bringing them to life. In the case of Endless and Endless Encore, well known romance book cover model Brandon Katz and his real life wife Tara Salerno are the faces of Ty and Zoey and could not be better casted. Their personification of Ty and Zoey takes Ms. Winter's LTZ experience to a whole new level of fandom. Readers will feel all the highs and lows of Ty and Zoey in Endless Encore for an emotional and memorable read!

I’ve made promises I’m struggling to keep.

Because my past is too dark and painful.

Zoey is everything to me, my beautiful soulmate.

I can’t bear for her to think I’m broken.

But pressure’s building and I’m losing control .

Will one fateful day destroy everything I’ve ever dreamed of?

𝐙𝐨𝐞𝐲

My life with Ty is idyllic.

This past year has been everything I dreamed about and more.

It’s just—I can’t shake this feeling.

Something’s going on with my fiancé.

I can’t help but wonder, is he hiding something from me?

Will his past demons prevent our perfect future?

Happily ever after can mean so many things.

Life happens.

Faith is tested.

Will Ty & Zoey survive the biggest challenge of their lives?

Is the deepest love endless?

It’s all I can do not to faint when I watch Mike Pearson lead Zoey to the edge of the patio. My butterfly is absolutely breathtaking. Angelic. She leans up and kisses her dad on the cheek. He helps her arrange her dress, and she takes his arm. 

Then she looks up and looks directly into my eyes.

Mine.

Her radiant smile spreads across her face. I’ve never seen her so happy. So sure of herself. In this moment, I know, without any shadow of a doubt, that my purpose in life is to make sure she never loses that smile. 

She floats toward me, and I’m smiling through happy tears. We’ve finally made it here. As she gets closer, I can’t help but reach out my hand to her. Mike swats it away good-naturedly and everyone laughs, including Zoey.

Carter, who was Internet-ordained specifically to marry us, proudly presides over our ceremony. It’s fitting, considering he not only was instrumental in breaking us up, but maneuvering it so we’d get back together. He’s a man with many regrets, fuck-ups and foibles, but he’s the closest thing I have to a father.

And I love him, for all his flaws.

Everything else falls away when Zoey and I say our vows. My eyes never leave hers and we clutch each other’s hands tightly. We exchange our rings and just like that, she’s my wife. I’m her husband. Our kiss sealing the deal is scorching. So scorching, everyone hoots and whistles. The second we break apart, our closest friends and family surround us in one giant hug. I truly can’t recall ever feeling so completely comfortable in the moment at hand.

So this is what true peace feels like.

I like it.

Nashville Dreams

By: Julie Capulet

Release Date: November 9, 2021

Publisher: Julie Capulet

Author Website: https://www.juliecapulet.com/

5 Stars

Love at first sight, grasping at dreams, living your best life, Julie Capulet makes all that and more seem obtainable in Nashville Dreams!

Kade Tucker had all the success he could dream of except someone to give his heart to. This was a hero chomping at the bit to love someone and it was no surprise that when the right woman came along their attraction was instantaneous and noticeably fated. Kade had been waiting a long time for the moment he met Stella and the sparks flew from the start. It will be hard for readers not to fall for Kade as his strength and determination were powerful forces to be reckoned with as he did not question his instincts or love for Stella.

Stella Bell was looking for the elusive answers to her happiness, settling was not an option for her any longer. Her seemingly destined meeting with Kade Tucker was the first step in achieving what she really wanted out of life. Stella was a complex and interesting character in her bravery. Leaving the security of what she did have in search of what she wanted with no assurances took a lot of courage and that made her an exceptionally interesting portrayal.

The beauty of this couple's commitment was in their recognizing it immediately. The instant rapport between Kade and Stella was not only captivating but empowering for both of them who had been settling for less in many areas of their lives. This pair's attraction leapt from the pages and was a force unto itself making their bonds feel not only secure but realistic. There were some nicely played out exciting components to this story that kept it moving at a fast pace and reinforced Kade and Stella's devotion to each other.

Julie Capulet's stories are the kind that make her readers feel that dreams can in fact come true. She takes the good and the bad and finds a way to work her characters through the best and worst of times with a deceptive ease. Nashville Dreams gives readers another story that they will love right along with the rest of her fabulous Music City Lovers series!

Vaughn Tucker was at the peak of his success living a life of decadence and partaking with no boundaries in the rock n roll lifestyle laid at his feet. Studious and hardworking Gigi Hayes had goals and was well on her way to obtaining them, with a Social Worker degree within her sights. Two people could not have been more different outwardly. Yet when a random encounter brought them together there was no denying there was an inescapable attraction between them that refused to be ignored and fueled this story.

This was a work full of hidden depths and mountains of pain, as a cute-meet quickly intensified into powerful feelings with very real obstacles and consequences. There was so much more to Vaughn than the larger than life fun loving guy he fronted for the public just as there was so much more to Gigi than the serious by the books and in the books girl everyone associated with her. The emotions Vaughn and Gigi triggered in each other flooded this story and made for some really intense and heartbreaking moments. Despite an abundance of angst there was no shortage of real chemistry between this couple that was tempered with more lighthearted exchanges. As Vaughn dealt with a past burdening his future the strength of Gigi allowed him to find his way to a better version of himself even while allowing him to give Gigi the love she deserved. There was a nice contrast between Vaughn's sensitivity as an artist and Gigi's as a caregiver that complemented these two portrayals. This author did a great job of working through issues and ultimately putting her couple on equal relationship footing.

Julie Capulet proves to be an author who can handle and convey fierce emotions in her writing. With a multitude of insight Ms. Capulet shows she is not afraid to go to dark places even as she reaches for couple goals that we can all aspire to. Nashville Nights takes readers on a rough journey that will keep them caught up in this work until the very end and excited for what’s up next in the Music City Lovers series!

The Player Hater

Publisher: Sara Ney

4 Stars

False impressions and a series of mishaps take readers on a charming trip of falling from hate to love in Sara Ney's The Player Hater!

Juliet is anything but excited as she heads off on a "bonding" trip to get to know her best friend Mia's boyfriend Thad, who she has already labeled a player and is mired in her preconceived notions of the kind of person he is. Joining the trip is Davis, Thad's best friend and the last person Juliet wants to spend time with based on her carry over assumptions about Thad. When Juliet and Davis are forced to share a "glamper" things could not be further from ideal for either of them.

Starting off with Juliet drooling in her sleep in front of Davis things escalated into one chaotic calamity after another. Making matters worse Juliet and Davis soon realized that not only were they the unpaired pair but they were reluctantly attracted to each other. Between heads butting with well-timed regularity, over the top antics and witty banter this couple kept this work lively. Juliet's grumbly, in your face persona was perfectly offset against Davis' cup half full approach to most things. There were lots of funny, flirty interactions that lead this couple to eventually see past prejudices and take a chance on seeing who they each really were. Filled with quite a few laugh out loud moments that flowed nicely without diving into exaggerated territory this was a fun story.

Sara Ney is one of the best orchestrators of hilarious romance out there. With quirky couples and plenty of funny quips it is hard to not have a smile on your face at some point when reading this author. The Player Hater was a sweet romance filled with all of Sara Ney's signature romance and wit!

I would do anything for my best friend.

Well. Almost anything.

When she begs me to come on a weekend getaway so I can bond with her new boyfriend, I can’t say no—no matter how badly I want to. After all, who will keep an eye on the guy; he’s your stereotypical, professional football player (emphasis on PLAYER) and I don’t trust him with my friends heart.

Worse? He has the nerve to bring his single best friend Davis on the trip, too. Davis is too handsome, so funny and smart he can’t possibly be human. Grandma’s, babies and kittens all fall for his smile.

In fact, everyone adores but me **narrows eyes** What’s he hiding?

I refuse to fall for his act; at some point he’ll will drop the Good Guy act and show his true colors: he’s a player, too. He must be.

You know the saying: if he seems too good to be true, he probably is.

The Plan

By: Karla Sorensen

Release Date: February 9, 2022

Publisher: Dutch Girl Publishing

Author Website: http://www.karlasorensen.com/

5 Stars

Facing fears and taking chances loomed large in Karla Sorensen's The Plan for a touching story with a healthy dose of heat!

Social Media sensation Lydia Pierson was in over her head, reliving her recent accident on loop and losing her grip on her well managed life.  Struggling to not only take back control of her life but to make sense of it with the new eye opening clarity she had of what she did not want to go back to, Lydia was literally trapped in the self imposed prison she had put herself in. Former football star Erik Wilder like Lydia was hindered with a trauma that he could not move past, barely living and reaching for comfort in avoidance.

When Lydia's father approached Erik to act as her bodyguard/chauffeur he unknowingly set Lydia and Erik on a path of recovery, opening the door to their potential both alone and together. As portrayals went both Lydia and Erik were wonderfully devised, their layers all contributing to characters that were authentic and captivating. The interactions between this couple was great in the contrast of Lydia feeling too much and Erik cutting himself off and feeling too little, each causing a serious upheaval in their imbalance. Two lives on hold, immersed in pain, battled to move past their misery for some intense moments. Erik's bristly exterior was a perfect foil for Lydia's overly enthusiastic approach to things, offering some wonderful conflict that was fueled further by their attraction. The witty exchanges between this couple highlighted the underlying pain they both were trying to deal with even while keeping this work from falling into total despair as more serious events and issues were dealt with. Limits were pushed regularly in this story and this pair's attraction was not a case of simmering but an unpredictable boil under the surface keeping readers constantly on their toes waiting for the explosion of feelings.

Beyond Karla Sorensen's skill at translating the special bond between her couples, her affinity for genuine family and friend dynamics is impressive. Things are not perfect in her stories but are beautifully pulled together for close introspective connections. This author does not minimize her character's damage but recognizes it and moves her characters forward scarred but full of potential. Karla Sorensen did a tremendous job of bringing her story from a place of hopelessness to one of optimism and unexpected love in The Plan for a great read!

Have you ever fake dated your bodyguard? I don't recommend it. 

Especially if he's anything like Erik Wilder: former football player, world class know-it-all and unapologetic grump. 

To be clear, I didn't want a bodyguard (hence the fake dating idea). Most days, I can’t figure out why he wants the job either. We drive each other insane, probably because we’re as opposite as two people can be. 

He’s suspicious, never talks about his past and has the comfort skills of a cactus. I’m a happily ever after kinda girl who knows exactly what she wants out of life. 

Erik’s words might say that the lines have to stay firm between us, but those dark eyes of his? They tell another story when he looks at me. 

He’s just as stubborn as I am, but when our fake dating plan starts to feel a lot more real, it's only a matter of time before his professional walls come crashing down.  

I just have to hope my heart doesn't get buried in the rubble.

As The Insider's Trilogy continues the stakes get higher and higher with subtle and not so subtle innuendos building the underlying suspense that makes this series the ultimate addictive read. With lots of intense interactions and family dysfunction things get real fast!

The natural synchronicity of Bailey and Kash's relationship continues in book two of The Insiders Trilogy showing the power of their draw. Bailey's vulnerability despite her extraordinary abilities makes her a fabulous heroine and shows her versatility and humanity.  Kash is powerful and tender even as his seemingly invincible strength is put to the test in The Damaged. The supporting characters are incredibly interesting in their own rights and will keep readers interested on multiple levels in this work. Who does not love a fated love with danger coming in from all sides, you will get that and more with Bailey and Kash!

This author continues to produce distinctive works that are each unique in their own rights and leave their own standout imprints. Her characters easily tap into a broad base no matter their circumstances making them uniquely common even in extraordinary situations. There is an ease in this writer's unnerving revelations that readers can relate to and make her such a sought after author. Tijan knows what her audience wants and more so what her characters need, delivering this perfect combination in The Damaged for an intense and edgy read!

"Flawlessly written, laugh-out-loud funny, and enough steam to get you hot under the collar—Group Therapy is the perfect binge!"
—Adriana Locke, USA Today Bestselling Author

Group Therapy, an all-new witty and steamy romantic comedy, guaranteed to have you laughing out loud from Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author BB Easton, is now available!

From the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of 44 Chapters About 4 Men (inspiration for the 4th Most-Watched Netflix Original Series of all time, Sex/Life) comes a romantic comedy about an inexperienced psychologist who falls for one of her clients and creates a therapy group from hell as an excuse to see him after hours.

I am thiiiiis close to finally becoming a full-fledged psychologist. PhD? Check. Prestigious postdoc position, providing therapy to entitled millionaires and C-list celebrities whose pumpkin spice lattes cost more than my Converse and make excellent projectiles during their reality TV–worthy tantrums? Check. Letter of recommendation from my velociraptor-like supervisor?

That’s going to take a miracle. Not only because my boss said I have to cure our most-prized client’s writer’s block in time for him to meet his insane deadline, but also because that client just so happens to be …

Thomas F*@%ing O’Reardon.

Yeah, that Thomas O’Reardon. The wickedly brilliant, achingly beautiful, devastatingly British best-selling author whose psychological thrillers line my bookshelf at home and whose face I might or might not picture while I … you get the point. Sitting in a confined space with him; inhaling the crisp, clean scent of his cologne; gazing into his broody blue eyes while trying to remember to nod and listen and come up with suggestions that don’t involve taking our clothes off … it’s torture.

So, when Thomas casually asks me out at the end of a therapy session, I’m forced to make an impossible choice: say yes and risk losing my dream job, or say no and risk losing my dream guy. In a panic, I blurt out a third option—the only solution I can think of that will allow me to see this man after hours without it being considered a career-ending ethics violation:

Group therapy.

The only problem? I’ve never actually done group therapy. And side problem: my other clients are heathens. But what’s the worst that could happen? I mean, it’s not like I’m going to lose all control of the group and let it devolve into a chaotic, bloodthirsty, topless fight club.

Right?

About BB Easton
Wall Street Journal bestselling author BB Easton lives in the suburbs of Atlanta with her long-suffering husband, Ken, and two adorable children. She recently quit her job as a school psychologist to write books about her punk rock past and deviant sexual history full-time. Ken is suuuper excited about that.
BB’s debut memoir, 44 CHAPTERS ABOUT 4 MEN, is the inspiration for the #4 Most-Watched Netflix Original Series of all time, SEX/LIFE. Because she had so much fun writing it, BB went on to publish four more wickedly funny, shockingly steamy, and heartwarmingly honest books, one for each man in her memoir: SKIN, SPEED, STAR, and SUIT.
THE RAIN TRILOGY, an epic, immersive, end-of-the-world romance, is BB's first work of fiction. Or at least, that's what she thought when she wrote it in 2019. Then 2020 hit and all of her dystopian plot points started coming true. Hopefully, her feel-good romantic comedy GROUP THERAPY will fix everything.

Group Therapy

By: B.B. Easton

Release Date: February 1, 2022

Publisher: B.B. Easton

Author Website: https://www.artbyeaston.com/

5 Stars

Dr. Luna "Lu" Sperling had a lot going on, from a highly colorful and dysfunctional past to an extremely difficult present. In B.B. Easton's latest work, Group Therapy, choices came into question under her author microscope for some terrifyingly enlightening revelations that will have her readers feeling despondent one minute and laughing out loud the next over her portrayals over the top mishaps.

When Lu found herself reluctantly pushed into the role as the ill equipped therapist of famous author Thomas O’Reardon, she knew she was taking on more than she could handle. Posturing as an expert at creativity and reining in her fan girl for a client who was suffering from writer's block she ran directly into a moral and ethical dilemma with her barely started career at stake. Bringing more than his fair share of baggage, both literally and figuratively, to this scenario was Thomas, a charming disaster waiting to happen.

From the start the dynamic between this pair was awkwardly steamy in the best possible way and kept readers wondering at any given moment what would happen next between them. While extremely witty there were significant poignant moments that kept this work's characters from being caricatures and giving this book a good balance. It was clear that Ms. Easton knows her way around the rom-com universe and excelled at tapping into the humor without being excessive and undermining her story. The secondary cast of this work was original and hilarious.

Nobody does escapades like BB Easton. Her lack of filter brings wonderfully raw feelings from one end of the spectrum to the other. This writer bares her characters' souls and finds a place to give love to all the outsiders of the world showing their worth with kindness and caring for some excellent unique stories. Group Therapy is B.B. Easton at her refreshingly irreverent best.

The Devil and The Deep Blue Sea

By: Elizabeth O’Roark

Release Date: January 20, 2022

Publisher: Elizabeth O’Roark

Author Website: https://www.elizabethoroark.com/

5 Stars

What happens when you are in the right place but with the wrong brother? Elizabeth O'Roark spins this scenario for an emotional read filled with longing.

Pop Star Drew Wilson struggled with her self worth at every turn, culminating with her persistent mismatch with her on again off again boyfriend, rock star Six Bailey. Her constant battle within to not second guess herself and allow others to diminish her left her like the walking wounded, seemingly getting punches from all sides from people she would expect to be supporting her. Yet Drew's strength was not just surviving an endless onslaught of disfavor and abuse but being successful, proving over and over again just how strong she was and how wrong her detractors were. Joshua Bailey's solution to other's expectations for him was to leave, literally to another continent. Full of integrity he held himself to high standards even while denying his heart's true leanings. Joshua embodied being a good person and yet he often did not afford himself the same caring he gave others.

Drew and Joshua from the start fought an irresistible physical attraction, yet when forced to spend time with each other they realized their attraction went much further and that they actually enjoyed spending time with each other on multiple levels. A great job was done by this writer of tapping into this pair's unique energy and translating it to her audience. The exchanges between Drew and Joshua were always more than superficial and were extraordinarily well done. The angsty simmer between them was a page turner and moved this story quickly. The recognition of Drew and Joshua's pain by each other and how it served as a catalyst for their individual transformations and moving on from places they had outgrown was done adeptly by this author.

Elizabeth O'Roark's writing is all encompassing. Her dialog is multidimensional and full of nuances which are perfectly identified by this writer and effortlessly delivered to her readers. Her witty exchanges are among some of the best out there, but coupled with her portrayals underlying emotions it just does not get any better. She has an ease at showing all her portrayals sides leaving no facets unseen. Ms. O'Roark gets her characters and that makes her work extremely appealing. Getting caught up in Elizabeth O'Roark's The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea just may be the best escape of 2022!

The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by Elizabeth O'Roark is now live!

You don't really know a guy until you've vacationed with him...

When Drew Wilson's ex-boyfriend Joel "Six" Bailey asks her to go on his family trip to Hawaii with him just as her life is falling apart, she decides it's the perfect time to give him another chance.

The hitch? The Bailey family includes Six's rude older brother, Joshua--a hot-nerd doctor who has hated Drew since the moment they met and once suggested she'd steal the family silver.

Drew is determined to win the Baileys over and give this thing with Six a fair shot...but Joshua is making that difficult. Not simply because he is in her way at every turn, but because--as one tropical adventure leads to the next--she's beginning to wonder if obnoxious, odious Joshua might be the brother she actually belongs with.

Made in Manhattan by Lauren Layne is now live!

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Central Park Pact comes a reverse My Fair Lady for the modern era about a pampered and privileged Manhattan socialite who must teach an unpolished and denim-loving nobody from the Louisiana Bayou how to fit in with the upper crust of New York City.

Violet Townsend has always been a people pleaser. Raised in the privileged world of Upper East Side Manhattan, she always says the right things, wears the right clothes, and never rocks the boat. Violet would do *anything* for the people closest to her, especially her beloved grandmother. So when she asks Violet to teach the newly-discovered grandson of her friend how to fit in with New York City's elite, Violet immediately agrees. Her goal? To get Cain Stone ready to take his place as heir to his family company...but to say he's not exactly an eager student is an understatement.

Born and raised in rural Louisiana and now making his own way in New Orleans, Cain Stone is only playing along for the paycheck at the end. He has no use for the grandmother he didn't know existed and no patience for the uppity Violet's attempts to turn him into a suit-wearing, museum-attending gentleman.

But somewhere amidst antagonistic dinner parties and tortured tux fittings, Cain and Violet come to a begrudging understanding--and the uptight Violet realizes she's not the only one doing the teaching. As she and Cain begin to find mutual respect for one another (and maybe even something more), Violet learns that blindly following society's rules doesn't lead to happiness...and that sometimes the best things in life come from the most unexpected places.
