Author: Karen Deen
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Enemies to Lovers/Age Gap/Workplace Romance

BLURB
My new client’s a nightmare.
Older, arrogant, and totally off limits.
Until one passionate night when he wasn’t…
His touch left me craving,
the one man I know I can’t have.
Nicholas Darby.

He’s successful, rich, and the most sought-after bachelor in London.
I’m sure the universe has put him in my life just to tantalize me,
because there is no way I would choose to want such a jerk.
I would walk away tomorrow if I didn’t need this job.

Fighting with him is sizzling foreplay.
Chemistry that can’t be ignored, and believe me, we try.

If we can’t get this fire that’s burning between us under control,
then we’ll both be walking away aching
for the one thing we both fear the most… love.

MY REVIEW

Nicholas' life has been turned on its axis and then he meets a sassy, independent woman named Victoria, who further scrambles everything. He's not one to admit to feelings but he may have to if he wants to keep Victoria around. Can he let her in, or will he continue to keep her at a distance and lose her?


Victoria has a life plan - wants to travel and see the world. Nowhere in that plan is there supposed to be a gorgeous but dominating man who takes up residence in her heart. But Nicholas isn't just some guy she works with now, no he's the man she's fallen in love with, even if he isn't about to tell her he feels the same. Maybe they can have a thing without defining it? Right...and maybe she can keep her heart protected...


Victoria and Nicholas are sizzling together! He's dominant and bossy and has a huge heart, but is carrying a lot of baggage that has that heart on ice. Poor Victoria, but not really, because she's strong and sassy and keeps him on his toes and brings him to his knees, something he's definitely not used to, but loves, just as he loves her, even if he's loathe to say it. The Craving is the kind of story I like best - electric chemistry, feisty heroine who puts the dominant man in his place even as he bosses her around, and feelings that are strong from their very first meeting. There's an equally awesome secondary cast in his friends and hers, and I'm really hoping all of them will get their own stories.

Blog Tour & Review: The Billionaire's Fake Fiancée by Annika Martin

The Billionaire's Fake Fiancée by Annika Martin Release Date: April 28th The Billionaire's Fake Fiancée, a sexy romantic comedy by New York Times bestselling author Annika Martin. I’m no Prince Charming, and the last thing I want is a Cinderella. My instructions were simple: scour the city for a fake fiancée who’s not my type at all. Have her on my jet Monday morning, dressed appropriately for a yacht vacation. I need a woman believable enough to convince a certain client that I’ve changed my playboy ways…yet nothing like the supermodels and socialites I usually have on my arm. Somebody too annoying to tempt me—no emotional entanglements, thank you very much. This is business only. If she’s unfazed by my looks and wealth, all the better. Should be easy. Right? Apparently not, because my people go and hire Tabitha. My hairdresser. What were they thinking? Yes, I said annoying, but I didn’t mean her, the most frustrating woman in the world. Tabitha is sunshiny. She has a pet ha...
