Reviewers called Lauren Baratz-Logsted’s THE BRO-MAGNET “refreshing,” “a gem,” “LOL-worthy,” and “unlike anything else [they’d] read before.” Try it for yourself, and start smiling in the first five minutes. Free exclusively at Amazon!
For guys, Johnny is the go-to “bro” to hang out with, but Johnny would rather spend his time looking for love. When he meets District Attorney Helen Troy, he decides to shed his bro-magnet ways by changing his name to the more mature-sounding John, updating his wardrobe, and acting as if he doesn’t care for his beloved Mets. But will pretending to be someone he’s not help Johnny finally get the girl?
Women have been known to lament, "Always a bridesmaid, never a bride." For Johnny Smith, the problem is, "Always a Best Man, never a groom." At age 33, housepainter Johnny has been Best Man eight times. The ultimate man's man, Johnny loves the Mets, the Jets, his weekly poker game, and the hula girl lamp that hangs over his basement pool table. Johnny has the instant affection of nearly every man he meets, but one thing he doesn't have is a woman to share his life with, and he wants that desperately. When Johnny meets District Attorney Helen Troy, he decides to renounce his bro-magnet ways in order to impress her. With the aid and advice of his friends and family, soon he's transforming his wardrobe, buying throw pillows, ditching the hula girl lamp, getting a cat and even changing his name to the more mature-sounding John. And through it all, he's pretending to have no interest in sports, which Helen claims to abhor. As things heat up with Helen, the questions arise: Will Johnny finally get the girl? And, if he's successful in that pursuit, who will he be now that he's no longer really himself? THE BRO-MAGNET is a rollicking comedic novel about what one man is willing to give up for the sake of love.

This week's 5 Heart Sweetheart...
"Having read many of Ms. Carr's books, there was no way I was going to miss out on reading this one. The plot was excellent, and progressed well from the start with Jordan's girlfriends pushing her to move on and forget all about Gabriel. The dialogue was well-written, and illustrated the great dynamics of the relationship of the three characters, although Gabe had been friends with Jordan and Casey for so long, yet Casey and Jordan had never met before. The sex scenes were perfect, revealing the attraction Jordan had for both men. However, in saying that, I thought the intimacy would have come a lot sooner considering the serious flirtation between Jordan and Casey at the beginning. Yet I wasn't disappointed because I knew that it would happen eventually. What I liked so much about Jordan was that she was willing to move past her obsession with Gabe. While with the two men, I loved that they were willing to share Jordan because they both were a little in love with her from the beginning which made for something really special.
Overall, Ms. Carr has done an extraordinary job of penning this wild tale and I can't wait to read more of this incredible series because of the secondary characters that are Jordan's best girlfriends whom I suspect will eventually get their own stories told. But first you'd have to discount Stephanie who has already had her story told in the first instalment of this incredible series in a book called Party Naked which readers should make sure to read before getting hooked with this one just to make sure they fathom who is who." - Bec

Eight hundred years ago on the continent of Gaia, war rocked the countries of N'Gasse, Tapin, Daháka, and Ravenrock. The fearsome wyldebeasts of the black east threatened to destroy the known world. King Xeres of Daháka gathered the most powerful magicians of Gaia along with Queen Rhysia of N'Gasse, King Erik of Ravenrock, and Nyla, the High Priestess of Tapin at Komodo Field.
Daháka brought pollen taken from the bees of the Tagrassé Forest. N'Gasse brought sap from the old mahogany trees. Tapin presented dust from falcon eggs. Ravenrock offered a rose. Together, they forged the indestructible green rose, a harbinger of powerful magic.
Using the green rose, the nobles and peoples of Gaia fought the wyldebeasts, led by the dark wizard, Augustin. Once the evil threat was defeated, the Eastern Wall was built along Ravenrock's borders to keep the foul wyldebeasts out of Gaia. Ravenrock was given the responsibility of guarding the 50,000 kilometer granite barrier.
King Xeres feared those who harbored evil in their hearts would seek the green rose. He tasked three witches to guard the flower and sent them into the heart of Tagrassé Forest.
Now, hundreds of years later, the peace of Gaia is once again threatened.
5 Stars, Scorching Book Reviews
I don't read much romantic fantasy, but this was so well structured and so lovely, I could not put it down.
All it takes is one weak seam for everything to fall apart.
Sierra Fox, Book 1
In a perfect world, Sierra Fox would have stayed away from the Council she left years ago. But in this world—where spirits have the right to walk among the living—it’s her job to round up troublesome spooks and bring them before that very same Council.
Though her desk is piled high with open cases, she can’t resist an anonymous summons to a mysterious late-night meeting with a bunch of other hunters, each of whom seems to have a unique specialty. The news is dire: something is tearing at the fabric of the universe. If the hunters can’t find who or why in time, something’s going to give in a very messy way.
Rodeo took him from her once. Will it take him again?
It’s been a decade since Garth Nash left the Triple R Ranch to become a bull riding star. Now he’s back home to pay his final respects to the man he’d loved like a father, and to console the pesky tomboy he’d loved like a little sister.
But there’s nothing pesky or boyish about Amarilla Ray now. She’s a gorgeous, barrel-racing cowgirl who knows exactly what she wants—to compete at the Cowgirl Classic. Just once. And then she can get on with the rest of her life.
Rilla had loved Garth like a big brother all those years ago, but today, her feelings are taking turns in a whole new direction, and suddenly it feels like Garth just might be the rest of her life.
But rodeo took him from her once. And she knows he’s bound to leave again. Can she take the risk and fall in love? Can he? Or will rodeo win out again, and leave them both broken?
Fleeing the abusive headmaster at the St. Louis orphanage, Roth turned to gunslinging as a means for survival. Years of looting and raiding put his face on several Wanted posters, and instilled in him an aversion to settling down. That is, until he meets Lydia Tyler, the woman building the orphanage along the Rio Grande. Although he’s the deputy of Revolving Point, Lydia detests his hardened ways. She’s also got trouble on her hands; a headmaster linked to Roth’s old nemesis. Roth will do everything he can to help Lydia. And convince her he's not as deplorable as his guns suggest.
Can this feisty mother of two stay out of trouble long enough for the perfect man to catch her?

In Separate Ways, after Ginger crosses paths with her first love, she discovers just how much she regrets now belonging to someone else.
In Heartbreak Time, eldest sister Risa is coming to terms with the fact that her life is falling apart, and it's happening right before for her daughter's wedding.
In Pieces of April, Georgia—a famous singer who hasn't been home in nearly twenty-five years—reminisces about two critical events from her teenage years that changed her life forever.
Elena Gaius is Hixyl’s most heralded gladiatrix, catching the Emperor’s eye with her unspoiled beauty and fiery temper. Determined to let no man have her, he forces her into a life of unwanted accolades—for slaughter in the Games. With independence out of reach, Elena knows each day could be her last.
Cassius Antonius is a former general hired by an underground secret order to assassinate the Emperor. When he refuses, they take away the only thing precious to him—his freedom. Forced into servitude, he meets Elena and manipulates her into helping him, forming a shaky alliance and a searing romance.
The two become unwitting pawns in the struggle to save Hixyl from the Emperor’s tyranny. But plans spin out of control with the discovery of their secret tryst, and for their ultimate act of betrayal, the Emperor demands one last entertainment—to be pitted against each other in the Games in a fight to the death.
For many years, Alyssa managed to live under the radar. She scraped by, hiding who she was and what she could do the best she could, even though she didn't exactly know why anymore.
One thing she does know--happily-ever-afters don't just happen. Sometimes you have to give them a hand. Other times, you just need to find a new one.

UNTIL HE GOT HIS LASSO AROUND HER... Ronnie DelVecchio might be fresh off the bus from New Jersey, but she's a hard-edged businesswoman and has had her fill of men she can't trust -- although she might consider getting off her high horse for that big, handsome rancher with a Texas drawl.
