have a rough beginning. Some start off with a bang! My goal is to make you
laugh out loud and give you more than one happy ending. 😉 Therefore, all of my
books contain heavy doses of lust, laughter, and love. My heroes are strong
alpha males that know what they want and when they find it, make it happen. My
heroines, on the other hand, are strong-minded females, but may or may not
submit easily. The back and forth banter is always epic.

Stand Alones

Designed by Letitia Hasser of RBA Designs

Blurb:
Welcome to the McCallister Jameson Foundation, the home to the hottest men with the surliest attitudes. Sure, they’re broody, stubborn, and stupid hot, but deep down, all they need is a little patience and a sassy woman to change their ways.
All books are standalones with crossover characters.
Set Includes:
PitcherA friends to lovers prequel novella
I loved him, okay? I know I said we were just friends, but relationships change. So I asked him for a favor. It wasn’t a big deal—famous last words.
CommanderA friends to lovers romance
Turns out, asking your friend to take your V-card is a huge deal—so is taking in six Marines. But mine and Theo’s relationship has seen worse. We’ll make it through this together. Hopefully. Maybe. Fingers crossed.
GorgeousAn enemies to lovers romance
I made a rash decision, but I promised my brother I would always look out for his mentor—even after his death. It’s just… his mentor isn’t very receptive to my arrival. And, if he asks me one more time if he can offer me a ride home, I might bury his keys right along with his awful attitude.
DrifterAn enemies to lovers romance
I stole his bike. I had to. I needed it more than he did at the moment. But Connor Hayes doesn’t agree. Now I’m stuck paying back a debt to a man whose body belongs on a cover of a magazine and a smile that decimates my will power.
InterpreterA teacher-teacher romance
I have my own problems like finding another job before my work visa expires. I don’t need another role in interpreting for my new co-teacher. His constant frown and lousy attitude are sure to make my last remaining months in the United States a horrible one. However, he does make one pretty paperweight.

About the Author:

A self-proclaimed reader enthusiast, Kristy started her writing journey back in 2009, reading and writing when her daughter was napping. Establishing her place in Corporate America (because something had to pay the bills), writing became her dirty, late-night secret.

After eight long years, she released her debut novel, Commander in Briefs. It was a long road, but she can honestly say, the road less traveled had the most beautiful sights.

The only thing Kristy Marie loves as much as reading and writing is sports! Especially those that require muscles and a nice ass. Her favorite is, and always will be, baseball. She’s such a fan, that she even married her small town’s high school’s centerfielder where they still live with their three badass kids.

Synopsis:

He’s only got one shot at hooking her heart

Red Aldean has his sights set on his longtime friend, Emma, who seems more interested in her regency romances than dating. A renowned river, adventure, and fishing guide, Red is no stranger to a challenge. With his heart on the line, he turns to his trusty Texas guide to fishing—all he needs is patience, a plan and the perfect bait.

Last Stand librarian Emma Corbyn prefers to find her romance in books. It’s much safer. While she’s not set on perfection, she needs honesty. When larger-than-life Red Aldean starts wooing her, Emma can’t help but let her guard down. And even this bookworm can’t ignore the sizzle that ignites when he’s near.

Emma feels like she can trust Red with her heart, until she learns he’s keeping secrets. Does Red need a better lure to reel in the prize of his life?

My 📝Review📝: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Red Hot Texan (Corbyn Sisters of Last Stand, #1)Red Hot Texan by Katherine Garbera

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A brand-new series featuring many of the Last Stand residents we have come to love. Red Hot Texan is Emma and Red’s story. Beautifully written with all the feels and scenery of Last Stand, Texas; this book was so good.

I’m in love with Red Aldean. I knew from the first pages that Red was not going to be the typical alpha, cocky hero. Red was confident in most aspects of his life with the exception of his attraction to Emma. In that aspect, all his vulnerabilities were showing. Red is an outdoorsman, literally. He runs an outdoor excursion company where he takes clients fishing, hiking, canoeing, etc. He is a tough as nails, sexy, strong, brave and loyal man. But when it comes to Emma, he is afraid. He wants her in his life very badly. Since they were children, Red had a bit of a crush on Emma. But in the last year or so, Red wanted to be her everything, because she was his. I will say, I loved his approaches toward Emma. He was adorable.

Emma is not ready to give her heart away due to issues from her past. But being with Red has her giving away pieces of it gradually. For the most part, these two characters are honest with each other about their feelings. Emma made some decisions, I didn’t approve of, making her seem selfish even though I understood her reasoning. She wasn’t being fair to Red. Red, on the other hand, had a secret. It was a big one and could definitely destroy what they were building with each other. As a reader, you will learn what that secret is pretty early on in the book. Unfortunately, Red keeps putting off telling Emma, claiming it wasn’t the right time. And well, you can probably guess that situation doesn’t go over well in the end.

I won’t give away the ending because it was so perfect for this story. As always, I enjoy reading books from this author and look forward to her next in this series. I definitely recommend this feel good, sweet story. You will adore Red!

This is my honest and unbiased review and I thank you for taking the time to read it. 🙂

AN
ALL-NEW STANDALONE FROM NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR JULIA KENT
I never
thought my perp walk would lead to true love.
Then again,
I never thought I’d be arrested on RICO charges and hauled away in zip ties on
camera for the world to see, minutes after closing the most amazing deal of my
career.
And all of
it in front of my biggest rival, billionaire wunderkind Ian McRory.
I am broke.
I am
disgraced.
I am alone.
I am a
sucker.
But the
worst part? I have to go back to my hometown and live in my bedroom filled with
relics from my childhood.
Lisa Frank
never made me so mad before.
Just when I
needed a rescue, I got one — in the form of help from my biggest rival.
He can’t
bring back my money.
He
certainly can’t bring back my reputation or my pride.
But there’s
one thing he can bring back to me.
A sense of
hope.
Maybe even
love.
Ian sees
something in me no one else does, and he’s relentless about making me see it,
too. As we grow closer, I’m starting to see that while my entire life used to
be a lie, the truth is staring me in the present — and it’s a truth I like
very, very much, hot eyes and gorgeous smile and all.
But I have
to be careful.
I can’t be
too —
That’s
right.
Hasty.
The final
book in the USA Today bestselling Do-Over Series (Fluffy, Perky, Feisty), as
Mallory’s sister, Hastings “Hasty” Monahan gets her turn at a happily
ever after that starts off with an arrest.
Hers.

Excerpt

Ian keeps chasing me, though. Why? And why does the fact that he won’t
let up thrill me?
That’s the part I hate. The thrill. The zing of arousal that shoots
through me every time that jerkface–who isn’t a jerk–does this. He’s pursuing
me and I don’t understand it, but I do like it.
More than I want to admit.
The fight inside me feels like layers of muscles in my abs are in a
tug-of-war. Ian McCrory represents everything I fought to achieve in my old
life. Self-made billionaire. Liked by everyone. Admired by even more.
Respected for his hardcore negotiating skills.
And droolingly handsome.
He was my nemesis. My enemy. The guy who sniped deals, and who I
sniped from. We were adversaries, but he flipped the script, didn’t
he? Coming to my rescue. Aiding me in a time of need.
I don’t want to need him.
And I especially don’t need to want him.
I stare at the phone. Just as my finger goes to the Power button to turn
it off again, three dots appear.
One dinner. Indulge me?
I go into my contacts, and I block him.
He just proved me right.
Taking help from people means you’re obligated.
And no matter how sweet the currency he’s dangling, I don’t like owing
him.
I don’t like owing anyone.
Burke turned my entire life into one big debt.
But my body isn’t available as collateral.
And neither is my heart.

bestsellers and more than 19 appearances on the USA Today bestseller list. Her
books have been translated into French and German, with more titles releasing
in 2019.
From billionaires to BBWs to new adult rock stars, Julia finds a sensual, goofy
joy in every contemporary romance she writes. Unlike Shannon from Shopping for
a Billionaire, she did not meet her husband after dropping her phone in a men’s
room toilet (and he isn’t a billionaire she met in a romantic comedy).

She lives in New England with her husband and three children where she is the
only person in the household with the gene required to change empty toilet
paper rolls.

Blurb
When I
first laid eyes on him, I should have run the other way.
Trouble was
written all over him, from the confident swagger in his stride and seductive
curl of his lips, to his smug, knowing looks. Jaxson was irresistible . . .and
I fell hard. 
Then he was
killed. 
Now the
ruthless, unforgiving boss of an underworld organization thinks I did
it
.  
I’ve gone
rogue, hell-bent on both revenge and redemption. Whatever it takes, I’m going
to finish a job that began nine months ago. An unauthorized assignment that
turned horribly, devastatingly wrong. My miscalculation. My fault. My heart
left shattered into incomplete pieces which will never wholly fit back together
again. 
But first I
have to outsmart the hired killer they’ve sent after me; a killer who knows my
every move, who’s been inside my head, who owns my heart. 
I’m the
traitor, Kylie. The rogue mercenary. His newest assignment.  
And this is
our love story. 
*Rogue was
previously released by St. Martin’s Press. This edition has been updated

Excerpt

Kylie –
Shelby, Oklahoma
I hit the roadway,
running hard and headed toward the far side of town.
Clouds roll
in. Figures I left our house filled with determination only to trek back home
wet and weary. Beyond weary. Tired. So bleeding tired of fighting battles no
twenty-three-year-old should ever face. But these are the cards I’ve been
dealt.
I’m so
preoccupied with the downpour of troubles that seem to accompany the downpour
of rain, I ignore the black sedan and the gravel it’s kicked up as it passes by
me. Dismiss the red glare of its taillights, faintly visible through the rain.
Pay no heed to how the sedan is backing up as quickly as it’d sped by me.
Too late, I
stop and gesture wildly at them to continue on.
Then
everything but the rain seems to pause. 
The blond
hairs on my arms stand at attention. It’s like being swept into a cloud of
darkness, where for a split second everything is calm before all hell breaks
loose. But I’m a native Oklahoman, where tornados crop up like spring
daffodils. Where quick thinking and survival know-how are the name of the game.
I take
off running back toward town, then pivoting on my heels, burst into a withering
wheat field bordering the road.
Stalks swat
my face. Mud covers my sneakers and splashes up my legs. My mind spurs on my
tired body. “Faster. Go faster.” I slip and slide but am abruptly grabbed by
the waistline and hauled up off my feet. 
Gritting my
teeth, I send my right elbow and left heel backward. Both connect hard, into my
captor’s jaw and junk trunk. 
He drops
me. “You goddamn bitch,” I hear, but faintly. My legs are already in motion.
A different
man grasps onto my arm. I turn and, using the momentum from my spin, aim the
heel of my palm up into the tender flesh beneath his nose. 
Blood
spurts out of it like a lawn sprinkler. I’ve broken the second guy’s nose and
ruined his faded white T-shirt. Before he can grab me, I dash into the
thickest, healthiest crop of stalks, which better conceals me. 
But it
slows my progress. My sense of direction is distorted. If it’d been a clear
night, the stars would guide me to safety. Today’s nothing except another
miserable Shelby day. The more I think about it, the more pissed off I become.
Really? After the day I’ve had? It’s barely past seven a.m. and two Shelby
goons decide I’m their next source of amusement.
The only
victim I am is one of circumstance.
In the
morning before classes—every morning except Tuesdays, that is—I catch the bus
to Dayton’s Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts Club. Sticking my nose in a book used
to be my thing. But I can’t concentrate; I’ve lost the simple pleasures in
life. Now I get my kicks by kicking ass. I’m a natural, or so my trainers tell
me. Comes in handy when dealing with the Shelbian riffraff. Still, the odds are
against me. Two men to my one woman.
I pick
up the pace, ignoring the sting as the stalks smack my face, arms, legs. It’s
difficult to hear anything besides the rain. Have they given up? Has my
perfectly aimed cock-kick and a broken nose discouraged them? Caused them to
move on to a less-pissed-off victim?
The answer
comes in the form of a solid wall of muscle, which I realize too late that I’ve
run right into it. On contact, the man’s chest flexes beneath my breasts. I
jerk back, but instead of glaring up at him, my eyes are drawn to the little
green horse embroidered onto his pale pink polo shirt. A jockeyless pony
situated on the upper swell of what is the tightest, brawniest, most muscular
display of pecs around, the tight pull of his shirt across his chest leaving
nothing to the imagination.
I want to
press my thumb against that pony, make sure my girls got it right. Except this
man isn’t one of Dayton’s gym jockeys . . .
I bring
my knee up, aiming for his privates. He laughs and neatly sidesteps me, so my
knee connects with his hard, chino-clad thigh. Pain jolts through my leg and up
my spine. I grit my teeth, pissed off and slightly unnerved. I send an elbow up
toward his jaw. This move’s brought many a man to his knees, but he swats my
elbow away. I feel his control, his power. And I know I’m in trouble.
“What are
you going to pull next, fireball? Hit me over the head with that loaf of
bread?” he asks, his tone deep, rich like chocolate, smooth like truffles. His
voice is amused. His words grate on my nerves. 
Run, common
sense tells me. Stay, a recklessly rogue thought pops into my head. 
I
reluctantly drop my loaf of Texas toast. He’s folded his arms across his chest,
obscuring the little pony beneath his muscular arms. I stare at the spot,
wondering why a preppy like him is after me. “What do you want?” My eyes skim
upward and I’m greeted by smug, self-assured tilt of his lips. You, his smile
seems to say. I want you.
I’m tall at
five feet nine, lithe and long-legged. This man’s chin can rest on my head. A
perfectly shaped chin, accompanied by high cheekbones, an aquiline nose, and as
my gaze flickers across his face, deliciously full, kissable lips. He’s fair,
like me. Except he’s sporting a fine line of five-o’clock shadow.
His
jaw-dropping good looks snag my attention. But it’s the energy between us that
knocks the wind out of me. Sexual magnetism. It’s like the air’s supercharged,
undergoing some kind of chemical reaction, hot and bubbly and ready to explode.
And, as that lazy smile of his broadens,
I feel my
body physically responding . . . what the hell? “What do you want?” I repeat,
in a hoarse tone. Far too affected by him than I care to admit. He makes a
sound deep within his throat and I swear the crotch of my shorts are instantly
wet.“
“To
see if what your T-shirt says is true.
I glance down.
CAN’T
CATCH ME
. Oh shit.
