If she has her way…

Willa Davis is wrangling puppies when Keane Winters stalks into her pet shop with frustration in his chocolate-brown eyes and a pink bedazzled cat carrier in his hand. He needs a kitty sitter, stat. But the last thing Willa needs is to rescue a guy who doesn’t even remember her…

…He’ll get nothing but coal in his stocking.

Saddled with his great-aunt’s Feline from Hell, Keane is desperate to leave her in someone else’s capable hands. But in spite of the fact that he’s sure he’s never seen the drop-dead gorgeous pet shop owner before, she seems to be mad at him…

Willa sighed and headed to the door. 

Again Keane held the pink bedazzled cat carrier, which should have made him look ridiculous. Instead it somehow upped his testosterone levels. His sharp eyes were on her but they turned warm in a way that melted her right through her center as she moved toward him. She stopped with the glass door between them, hands on hips, hoping she looked irritated even if that wasn’t quite what she was feeling. 

His gaze lowered from her face to run over her body, which gave her another unwelcome rush of heat. Dammit. Now she was irritated and aroused—not a good combo. 

His mouth quirked at the saying on her apron that read Dear Santa, I Can Explain. 

Drawing a deep breath, she opened the door. “You’ve got Petunia again. I hope that means your great-aunt Sally isn’t still sick.” 

He looked surprised that she’d remembered his aunt’s name, or that she’d care. “I don’t know,” he said a little gruffly. “She left me a message saying that I was in charge for the rest of the week but for two days now Pita’s been happily destroying my jobsite. I’m throwing myself on your mercy here. Can you help?” 

Wow. He must be really desperate since he was actually asking and not assuming. But since Petunia was a sweetheart, she knew she’d do it. 

“I’ll even tell you where I went to high school,” he said, adding a smile that was shockingly charming. 

Wow. He hadn’t lost his touch when it came to turning it on. “Not necessary,” she said, painfully aware of their audience. 

Keane’s attention was suddenly directed upward, just above her head. She followed his line of sight and found a sprig of mistletoe hanging from the overhead display of small portable doggy pools. Mistletoe? What the hell? She glanced behind her and what do you know, suddenly Rory and Cara were a flurry of movement racing around looking very, very busy. “When did the mistletoe go up?” she asked them. “And why?” 

“FOMO,” Cara said from behind the counter. 

“Fear of missing out,” Rory translated. “She was hoping a hot guy would come in and the mistletoe would give her an excuse.” 

Willa narrowed her eyes and her two soon-to-be-dead employees scattered again. 

“Interesting,” Keane said, looking amused. 

“I’m not kissing you.” 

His mouth curved. “If you take Pita for the day, I’ll kiss you.” 

“Not necessary,” she said, gratified no one could see her heart during the two-step in her ears. “I’ll take Petunia for the day. No kiss required or wanted.” 

Liar, liar…

"God save her from annoying, big, badass alphas."

Reading this series for me is like watching a favorite episode of Friends, but with more romance. It's funny, it's comforting, and quite sexy. With Shalvis's wit and a formidable cast of characters, you get this wonderful close-knit feel of a small-town romance right in the middle of the city.

Willa and Keane's story caught me off guard because Keane is a character we hadn't met yet. He comes from Willa's past, but unfortunately he doesn't recognize her. He doesn't understand the coldness he feels coming from Willa, but he desperately needs her help and there is just something about her that makes him keep coming back for more.

I love the way all of the characters are woven together in these books. While this is Willa's story, we get to see growth and development from the peripheral characters as well. It's such a wonderful way to give depth to each of the books that have yet to come.

I've said it before and I'll continue saying it as long as Jill Shalvis is writing. She is my go-to Romance gal. When I need a pick-me-up, she never lets me down.

She watched Keane take in the two newest Christmas trees, one in front of O’Riley’s Pub, the other in front of Reclaimed Woods, both decorated in simple red and gold balls. The only sound around them was the soft trickle of the water flowing from the fountain and some lovelorn crickets mourning the dawn’s lack of warmth. 

“Legend states that if you make a wish with a true heart, true love will find you,” she said. 

He met her gaze. “Legend also states that if you put your tooth under your pillow the Tooth Fairy will leave you cash.” 

She slowed, as always the fountain calling to her to make a wish. Keane slowed too, looking at her with a question. 

She searched her pockets for change, but could only come up with a dog treat. “Damn.” It was the swear jar’s fault, all her spare change always ended up in there. 

“What?” 

“I wanted to make a wish,” she said. 

A small smile crossed his face. “You want to make a wish? You’ve lived here for how long and you’ve never made one?”  

“Oh, I have.” She paused. “I like to.” 

This garnered her a raised brow. “How many times have you wished?” 

She bit her lower lip. 

“More than once?”  

Well, crap. How had they gotten on this subject? “Um…”  

“More than…five?” 

“Gee, would you look at the time?” she asked and tried to go but he caught her and brought her back around, his smile now a broad grin. 

“Fine,” she said. “If you must know, I toss a coin in every time I walk by.” 

He lost the battle with his laughter and she stared at him. Seriously, he had the best laugh. “It worked for Pru, I’ll have you know,” she told him. “She wished for true love to find Finn, and then he fell in love with her.” 

And Willa had been wishing ever since, even knowing how ridiculous and silly it was. 

“So…you’ve been wishing for true love for who exactly?” he asked. 

She stared at him in dismay. How had she not thought this through? “Me,” she admitted, slapping her pockets because surely she had even a penny. “But I intend to fix that right now. I’ll just wish for love for someone else.” 

“Who?” he asked warily. 

She narrowed her eyes at his fear. “You. Got any change?”

Review - ROMAN CRAZY by Alice Clayton and Nina Bocci

Title: Roman Crazy
Authors: Alice Clayton and Nina Bocci
Publisher: Gallery Books
Publication Date: 9/13/2016
Source: ARC from publisher


Avery Bardot steps off the plane in Rome, looking for a fresh start. She’s left behind a soon-to-be ex-husband in Boston and plans to spend the summer with her best friend Daisy, licking her wounds—and perhaps a gelato or two. But when her American-expat friend throws her a welcome party on her first night, Avery’s thrown for a loop when she sees a man she never thought she’d see again: Italian architect Marcello Bianchi.

Marcello was the man—the one who got away. And now her past is colliding with her present, a present where she should be mourning the loss of her marriage and—hey, that fettuccine is delicious! And so is Marcello…

Slipping easily into the good life of summertime in Rome, Avery spends her days exploring a city that makes art historians swoon, and her nights swooning over her unexpected what was old is new again romance. It’s heady, it’s fevered, it’s wanton, and it’s crazy. But could this really be her new life? Or is it just a temporary reprieve before returning to the land of twin-set cardigans and crustless sandwiches?


A celebration of great friendship, passionate romance, and wonderful food, Roman Crazy is a lighthearted story of second chances and living life to the fullest.

      

About the Authors:

Alice Clayton worked in the cosmetics industry for over a decade before picking up a pen (read: laptop). She enjoys gardening but not weeding, baking but not cleaning up, and finally convinced her long-time boyfriend to marry her. And she finally got her Bernese Mountain Dog.

Nina Bocci is a novelist, publicist, eternal optimist, unabashed lipgloss enthusiast, constant apologist, and a hopeless romanticist. She has too many college degrees that she’s not using and a Lego addiction that she blames on her son.

Because of who the authors are, I was expecting a bit of silliness and maybe even a bit of ridiculousness. What I didn't expect was to be taken on a wonderful tour of a beautiful country that I've never had the privilege of visiting.

While there are a few instances where I felt something was being written just for shock value or for the sake of getting a certain reaction, I did enjoy the overall feel of the story. Avery's pain is tangible and her shock at seeing her former lover is authentic. The way her friend steps in and offers her a place to heal made me smile and even made me a bit envious. The relationships, both old a new, are strong and well-written.

The romance in the story is organic and just seems to blossom. The history between Avery and Marcello helps move things along, despite her newly broken heart. It's sexy and steamy and everything a Roman vacation should be.

This is a great story of second chances and forgiveness. It's a story of friendship and love. But truthfully, my favorite parts were when Avery would wander about the neighborhood, with or without Marcello. The authors did such an amazing job of making Italy come alive, which for me, outshined everything else going on.

4 out of 5 stars

Cover Reveal - GET IN THE CAR, JUPITER by Fisher Amelie

I am so excited to share with you the cover of 

GET IN THE CAR, JUPITER, 

the latest novel by Fisher Amelie, 

coming September 19th.

WANTED FOR ARSON. CATFISHED AT SANTA'S. ROBBED AT THE FALLS. SHAKESPEARE OR DIE. DRIVER PICKS TUNES. 

I'm weird. This isn't news to me or anything. I have lived in a UFO my entire life. This wasn't a coincidence. My parents believe in extraterrestrial life. You know,  “phone home” and all that crap, and they dragged my sister Mercury and me into their mess when they named us what they named us. So it wasn't a surprise when after getting accepted to UW and expressing my desire to actually attend, they lamented that college is "just another ploy for the government to keep tabs on you, man." In other words,  “We won't be helping you out,  Jupiter.” That's fine, though, because my best friend Frankie and I can be pretty clever chicks when we want to be. We found a way for me to get up there and it was in the form of a longtime crush, his equally cute cousin, and a kickin' set of wheels. Buckle up, Buttercup, it's going to be a bumpy ride.
