Amara

Tyler Collins has always been the object of my affection. He just doesn’t know it.
I’ve spent years admiring him, fantasizing about him, but never once making a move.
That is until I see him across the room, already a few beers in and drunkenly decide to press my lips to his. One minute I’m sharing a drink with a friend, and the next, I’m Kissing My Crush.
Now I’m trapped at a beautiful resort with the man I so desperately want to avoid, to celebrate the nuptials of our dear friends.
I can feel his eyes on me. He’s watching. Waiting for what I’m not sure. The fear of rejection is too strong for me to mention the kiss. That night is on constant replay in my mind. I often wonder how he would react if I could confess that to me, our kiss was not a drunken mistake.

Tyler
Quiet, sweet Amara, the one woman I never expected to crave and the one I can’t seem to shake. One unexpected kiss, and now all I can think about is her lips pressed to mine.
I’ve managed to avoid attachments, keeping things casual and enjoying one day at a time. Yet, a timid blonde marches across a hazy bar and grabs hold of my hair, giving me the kiss that changes it all. Changes me.
She wants to pretend it never happened, but I never was much for playing games. She might want me to believe the kiss was forgettable, but we both know better. Hands down the hottest kiss of my life.
That moment with her wasn’t nothing. It was everything.
It was the turning point and the start of something I know without a doubt will be more than we both ever could have expected.

Series Information:
This Southern wedding party went to Florida to watch their best friends say ‘I do’. But instead of the groom kissing the bride, the bridesmaids and the groomsmen are the ones doing all the smooching!
Let the games begin.
The Kissing Games, that is.

Nikki's 4 Star Review
A great story of childhood friends to lovers. Amara has crushed on Tyler for years, but Tyler never really looked at her that way, and then a kiss in a bar and a family wedding changed everything. I really like how relatable both Amara and Tyler were. Their road to forever definitely isn't smooth sailing, but these two are the perfect pairing.

C.A. Harms is an avid romance and mystery reader. She's always had a love for books, getting lost in writing and storytelling even as a young girl. She enjoys happy endings and HEA love stories.

She lives in Illinois and enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. She holds an addiction for Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha’s and KitKat when she should really be focusing on water and maybe a fruit or two to make herself feel less guilty, but that feeling quickly passes...thankfully.

She is easy going, fun, and although she may seem like one of the quiet ones at first, you just wait until she gets to know you better...that quietness changes, fast.

He's a damaged man and now I'm his daughter's nanny for the summer.
He's grumpy and hates me but I have no idea why.

I wonder if this tortured, imperfect man is actually the prince in my story.

Parker
I lost everything when my wife died.
I'm angry with the world, but mostly at myself.

Nikki's 4 Star Review
A thougherly enjoyable read from Victoria Lum. The Coldest Passion sent me on a complete rollercoaster of emotions. From our first meeting of Liz and Parker, you can tell there is tension but you don't really understand why. That is until the plot twist that I wasn't expecting.

Parker is a single dad, and he needs child care for the summer. When Parker's best friend volunteers his sister Liz for the job, Parker and Liz are put in a position where neither one can decline but Parker hates Liz, or does he. Liz is actually Parker's daughters kindergarten teacher, so the job offer makes perfect sense, but how will Parker and Liz cope in such close proximity?

I loved Parker and Liz they had a great chemistry. This is a book I can highly recommend.

Jake’s my best friend and first love. There’s just one problem—he belongs to my sister.

I’ve been crushing on Jake for years, but never had the guts to tell him. One drunken night with my sister and two pink lines later, and he’s lost to me forever.

When she video-calls me and Jake accidentally walks by in the buff, something in me snaps.
Transferring to a different college might seem like a copout, but I have to get away from Jake and my sister before I say or do something I’ll regret. In an act of desperation, I ghost my old life.
For the next two years, everything is great—until I come face-to-face with Jake and his son, who my sister abandoned.

Pre-Order Blitz - Blunted by M.N. Forgy & T.L. Sims

Title: Blunted
Series: Rush Riders MC Book 1
Authors: M. N. Forgy & T. L. Sims 
Genre: MC Romance, Friends to Enemies, Age Gap
Release Date: July 13, 2023
Cover Design: Murphy Rae Design





This book was written by my mother who passed away from cancer in February. I found this on her computer and knew she had been talking about publishing it, but she didn't make it to see that happen. It wasn't done and I was giddy to add some Forgy flare to it. Now it's ready for the world. This is for you mom.

From the author of the best selling Devil's Dust MC, M.N. Forgy and her mother give a whole new rush and spark in the bedroom.

I came to the Rush Riders Motorcycle Club to help a friend out, get them out of trouble, and before I knew it, I became a member. Fast women, drugs, whiskey, and fights were all things I expected and was ready for. A young woman walking into the club selling drugs wasn’t. C was everywhere I didn’t want her to be. Her naïve personality was resilient to my asshole attempts to run her off. The next thing I knew, I wanted more than to take her to my bed. We were like a match to gasoline, the combustion so powerful not even I could walk away. I wanted to dominate her, to make her mine, which would have been an amazing plan if our worlds hadn’t collided, leaving me with having to choose between my club and her.

Can the rules of the Rush Riders MC bend to my will, or will the brotherhood mean nothing?

If they want a war, I’ll give it to them.




M.N. Forgy is an International best seller, best known for her romantic biker stories. Living in the country with her family she often finds herself outside reading or writing most of the time. She started creating stories at a young age but never took it seriously until years later, as a stay-at-home mom, she opened her laptop and started writing again. As a role model for her children, she felt she couldn't live with the "what if" anymore and finally took a chance on her character's story. So, with her iced coffee in hand and the family dog sharing her seat, she continues to create and please her readers.
