But when her friends coax her into a girls’ night out, she surprises herself by giving a business card to a ruggedly handsome stranger…

PI Reuben “Ben” Murray is a career bachelor. And watching a pretty girl from afar for a job is nothing unusual for this former LA cop. But as soon as he meets this one up close and personal, her allure threatens to overwhelm his usual practice of not touching the merchandise.

The kitchen: it’s my domain, where I create the best burgers in the Midwest. I’m the man behind the grill at Burgers and Brew, the restaurant and bar I co-own with my best friends. Every night, we’re packed, the demand has never been this high. It’s the only way I want it, thriving and pushing myself to be the very best.

Now, she’s in town, and as much as I try, I just can’t stay away.

I want her.

A new start: that’s what Stewart Grove means for me and my brother. He’s the one who pushed me to take the chance on opening my own bakery. I am ready for the long hours, the grueling schedule, and the hard work it will take to be successful.

Things are about to heat up in and out of the kitchen.

EXCERPT

Butterflies took flight in her tummy, but she kept walking to her car. Pressing the button on her fob, she opened the trunk and watched Josh’s muscles form and stretch in his dark shirt as he easily lifted her suitcase and lay it in the trunk. He closed the lid and turned to face her.
“I’m happy to drive, Isabella.”
She shook her head no, but then handed the keys over to him. She wasn’t thinking clearly. Repeatedly asking herself who this giddy girl inside of her was, she quickly tossed her head and walked to the passenger side of the car. Josh reached forward to open her door and she jumped at his nearness. His scent surrounded her, and she felt lightheaded as it settled all around her. Riding in a car together was going to be bittersweet.
Without looking into his eyes, which was hard, she carefully entered the car, sat and lifted her legs inside. He closed the door and walked around the front of her car and she busied herself with buckling her seatbelt, so she didn’t humiliate herself by drooling. But, oh, he was magnificent.
He opened the door and managed to get inside, which for a man his size amazed her. He was around six feet tall, which was probably slightly above average, but compared to her 5’2” was very tall. Yet instead of being clumsy and awkward in his movements, his were sleek and like those of a cat.
He handed her the keys with a smirk, pushed the button on the dash to start the car, then fastened his seatbelt.
“Funny. You didn’t mention I wouldn’t need the keys to start the car.”
“Ooops” She smiled.

A Driven World Novel
Series: Raced #2
Author: Heather Guimond
Genre: Sports Romance
Cover Design: Anibet Castro-Mangual,
Creative Chaos Designs
Release Date: July 29, 2021


BLURB

My happy ending is about to be dragged through the mud...

Kenni
I was right about Finn Hawkins being trouble, but he was the best kind. Which is why I found myself falling hard and fast for the cocky motocross rider. There were some bumps in our track neither of us saw coming, but we couldn’t wait to start a life together. Until my ex threatened to destroy me if he couldn’t have me.

Finn
The little sister of my biggest rival turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me and the one thing I couldn’t live without. MacKenzie “Kenni” Michaels was the sassy mechanic who rocked my world and stole my heart, and there was no way I was ever taking it back. I thought her brother would be our most difficult obstacle but I was wrong. Turns out her psycho ex-boyfriend had a secret sex tape he was using to keep controlling her. He better back off and stay in his lane... because I’ll take him down on and off the track to keep her, and our future safe.

EXCERPT

Once we reached Finn’s truck, we stared at each other blankly. We’d never been kicked out this early in the day before.

“What should we do?” I asked, completely clueless.

“I vote for going back to the room and getting another couple hours of sleep. I tossed and turned all night again,” Finn replied as he rubbed his eyes. “What do you say?”

“I don’t have any better ideas.” I rested my head against the seat back, finally feeling my own energy draining quickly. I’d been mostly running on the adrenaline of fear I had for my brother’s well being, and now with the reassurance of being able to talk and interact with him robbed me of that artificial high.

We both kicked off our shoes and fell into bed almost as soon as we closed the door. Spooning, we laid quietly pressed against each other.

“Are you awake?” I whispered after some time. He never made a sound, but I was fairly certain he wasn’t asleep either.

“Yes.” The soft reply came from his lips. I turned and rose, leaning up on an elbow as I stared down at him, lightly brushing my fingertips against his full mouth.

“Would I seem like an awful person if I asked you to make love to me right now?” I inquired hesitantly. It seemed the worst timing; my brother lying in the critical care unit still, a pending criminal case against my ex that might require my testimony, all of it seemed so overwhelming against a few moments of physical pleasure, but I craved his closeness, his intimacy. The spooning was nice, but not what I really needed. I looked down at him wide eyed, waiting for his response.

#GlossyBox #Birchbox #May Box @muglerofficial @velvet_eyewear @bumbleandbumble @biodermausa @graceandstella

 This month's box was pretty good. These items below were included:

Grace and Stella Rose Water Facial Mist Retail full size $25 

I tried this a few times and to be completely honest I have no idea what it is actually supposed to be. It has a light scent, a good spray mist that sprays even, but I didn't see any effect. I read some reviews and people say their skin felt refreshed. I don't know what that means. I even tried it after being in the sun and nothing. They advertise a few things that I find disturbing too "anti-depressant and anti anxiety properties" WHAT the hell does that mean ? 👎




KAB Cosmetics Red Velvet Matte

First off I love the brand and have a few of the matte colors. This red velvet, reminds me of someone that I am not a fan of. So it is a no go for me 👎



Bumble and Bumble Surf Styling Leave In - well I have curls and I am in California, so YES I love it!! The smell is clean, nothing that will attract bugs. I really like that it has UV protection.  I am out in the sun a lot and my ends always change color fast. This is great and it is from a brand that I can trust. I have should length hair and used a little more than what you should, and this will last a while. The brand is world famous for shops, products and cuts so this is huge. 👍👍👍👍👍


Angel by Mugler What can I say this is a hit. It has a beautiful scent that is to be used sparingly. It is strong and a little goes a long way. I have had the pink version before and this has more sweetness to it. Perfect for day IF you go light. Love it! The title is linked and I love the fact that it is refillable. Check it out 👍👍👍👍👍

Velvet Eyewear - This is a first for me. I love getting different things like some cool shades in a box. These are super lightweight. That is a big love for me. In Southern California you need sun wear all year long and the style is as important as the weight. When I took them off after a few hours of wearing then I had no marks on my nose. The style is sort of aviator meets classy.

👍👍👍👍👍

I also suggest a sunglass holder like this 


You can buy it here for $26 and that is a steal. 👍👍👍👍👍

Title: Sunset
Series: Chasing the Sun Duet #2
Author: Kaci Rose
Genre: Small Town Beach Romance
Release Date: May 13, 2021


BLURB

No matter what I’m not opening up my heart again, even if he’s great at warming my bed.

Jasper blew out of town taking my heart with him. He swore he’d never come back. Last I heard he was some famous chef in a big city.

Then I’m at the farmer’s market and there he is in vivid color. So, I do what any sane person would do, I throw a kiwi at him and leave.

Then a storm blows in washing out the only bridge off this island and now we are stuck together.

To make matters worse? My chef quits and the only option I have is to bring in Jasper per his mother’s suggestion.

Oh, and my best friend is in a fake relationship with a Hollywood Movie Star, and I just saw Jasper with his shirt off.

Plus our mayor working with some land developer and trying to turn our small town into a major tourist spot that will kill all the local businesses.

How did my life get here?

Can we put aside our differences long enough to work together?

Yes, we can.

I think the better question is can we stay out of bed long enough to stop them?
