Too Steamy for the Penalty Box ... Period Three

The New Orleans Cajun Rage professional hockey team just won the Cup. No one thought they'd do it: they were a team of shoulda beens, never coulda beens and a star or two. They'd only been in the Crescent City for three years before this year's Cinderella run that had them skating off the ice with the championship. Over the following summer, each player gets to keep the Cup for a day. Nobody knows why, but whoever has the Cup falls in love.

PENALTY BOX BLUES

Robin Kaye

Stryker Gyllenhaal, enforcer on the Ragin' Cajun's, knows that once he hits Boise, his time spent in the penalty box is nothing compared to the payback Karma Kincaid has in store for him. When he finds out she has hired a handler, Trish Reynolds, his old college tutor, he's not sure who the real enforcer is. Karma, because she owns him for an entire week, or Trish, the only woman who knows his secret, and can slam his heart against the boards with a sideways glance. He is so pucked.

BEAR NAKED

Katie Kenyhercz

First Nations defenseman Bear Thompson wants to spend his day with the Cup back home on the reserve, but first he has to convince his childhood sweetheart and current band chief Aria Paul to give him another chance and that letting the media in won't be the end of the world. The last thing Aria wants to do is fall back in love with the man who broke her heart and left her in the dust, but old feelings spark new ones, and when Bear sets his sights on a goal, it's only a matter of time.

“The sexiest thing about Bear is his dedication to what matters to him.”

Will Finn and January learn to build new trust--or will their ghosts keep them from falling in deep?

HelenKay Dimon

With her he could be who he was, share parts of his past. 

She didn’t judge. She didn’t just fall in line either, which he found so hot. 

When his uncle is brutally murdered, Josiah King knows that business just got personal. His uncle's ties to the Alliance can mean only one thing: Josiah and his black ops team are targets, along with everyone they love. Primed for vengeance, Josiah is determined to unravel the plot--until long-legged redhead Sutton Dahl becomes a dangerous distraction.
Sutton is very good at uncovering other people's secrets—and protecting her own. When Josiah bursts into her life she's torn between pushing him away and asking for his help. Mysterious, strong, and much too sexy, he's a puzzle she longs to solve, and a temptation she can't ignore.
Thrown together in the face of Alliance's most lethal threat, Josiah and Sutton become unlikely partners, fighting for their lives even as the attraction between them flares into real passion. Torn between his team and the woman who means everything to him, Josiah will risk it all to save Sutton, even if that decision is his last.

His touch was too hot, too good, too much. She thought she’d known the rules of this game, but she was wrong.

Nominated for RT Book Reviews Best 

Indie/SmallPress Contemporary Romance

What fun is life without a little bit of trouble?

Retired supermodel and forever wild child Olivia Sweet is nothing but trouble. The youngest Sweet triplet is back in her hometown, but instead of a triumphant return it’s a parade of humiliations. She’s broke, homeless and dealing with the fallout from her scumbag ex-boyfriend publishing naked pictures of her to a revenge porn website.

Staid and stalwart veteran Mateo Garcia has seen more trouble than a man ever should in his lifetime. He’s gone from pretty boy Marine to a small town police chief with a chip on his shoulder and scars covering the left side of his face. Now his former lover, Olivia, is back in town and living next door.

When the two are forced to work together to fix up the crumbling veterans’ center, the sparks fly between the beauty and the man who sees himself as a beast. Not everyone is happy that Olivia is back home though and Mateo has to choose between the town who wants her gone and an uncertain future with a woman who he thinks could never love him…

Award-winning romance author Avery Flynn has three slightly-wild children, loves a hockey-addicted husband and is desperately hoping someone invents the coffee IV drip. She was a reader before she was a writer and hopes to always be both. She loves to write about smartass alpha heroes who are as good with a quip as they are with their *ahem* other God-given talents. Her heroines are feisty, fierce and fantastic. Brainy and brave, these ladies know how to stand on their own two feet and knock the bad guys off theirs. Also, if you figure out how to send Oreos through the Internet, she’ll be your best friend for life.

“If we do this, it won’t be once. I’ve wanted you beneath me and screaming my name for the last seven years. This happens…” Brennan paused, his fingers flexing into her shoulders with just enough pressure to make her knees wobble. “And it’s not going to be fast. It’s not going to be impulsive, and it’s not going to be just today. Do you understand?”

Christmas is coming to Pine Mountain—and it has a way of stirring up memories, good and bad. Nick Brennan may manage the Double Shot bar smooth as good whiskey, but his past is a hot mess. When he runs into a burning building to save a little boy, some people start thinking there’s more to his heroism than holiday spirit. And then the local reporter assigned to the story turns out to be gorgeous Ava Mancuso, the girl who got away.

Ava knows what it’s like to have a past. But the changes she’s seen in Nick since she knew him do more than set off her natural curiosity—his warm eyes and gruff charm have her instincts fired up. Still, all the chemistry in the world doesn’t erase history, even when Nick invites her to his little sister’s mistletoe wedding. Does he have a heart under all those secrets? Or is this going to be just another Christmas past?

Kimberly Kincaid writes contemporary romance that splits the difference between sexy and sweet. When she's not sitting cross-legged in an ancient desk chair known as "The Pleather Bomber", she can be found practicing obscene amounts of yoga, whipping up anything from enchiladas to éclairs in her kitchen, or curled up with her nose in a book. 

Kimberly is a USA Today best-selling author and a 2015 RWA RITA® finalist who lives (and writes!) by the mantra that food is love. Kimberly resides in Virginia with her wildly patient husband and their three daughters. Visit her

JUST ONE TASTE

Pine Mountain series, book #5

A little home improvement can go a long way…

Jesse Oliver was a medic in Afghanistan, but back home in Pine Mountain he’s happy to switch gears as the Double Shot bar’s new sous chef. When his apartment floods and his old Army buddy offers the family’s dilapidated lake house as temporary quarters, Jesse thinks a little remodeling on the creaky duplex sounds like a fair return favor. That’s before he sets eyes on the gorgeous woman moving into the other side of the cabin—and discovers she’s his buddy’s kid sister, a.k.a totally off limits.

Kat McMarrin has fought hard for her space, and she’s not too interested in sharing it. Of course, her job as a physical therapist means she won’t see much of Jesse, even if he’s a few thin floorboards away—unless she seeks him out. And with his sculpted body and slow-burn gaze, she might be tempted. Maybe the fixer-upper projects she has planned for the cabin will keep her mind off him. Or maybe her instincts to strip the place down will get out of hand…

INSPIRATIONAL VACATION SPOTS

A little birdie told me that a real vacation spot inspired Kimberly’s PINE LODGE SERIES. For a fun twist today, l thought I’d change up the questions…just a little.

ANGI: Tell us a little about the REAL Pine Mountain. 

KIMBERLY: It’s in the Blue Ridge Mountains, like fictional Pine Mountain, but it’s a small town in Maryland near Wisp ski resort.

ANGI: Which spot on Pine Mountain is the best for getting lost in a book?

KIMBERLY: All of them! No, really…there’s a spot in the house we rented one year that overlooks the mountain skyline, and it’s just gorgeous. Two huge reading chairs and a spot for your favorite drink. Heaven!

ANGI: Can you tell us about a real-life hero you’ve met?

KIMBERLY: I’ve met lots of people I’d consider heroes. But I went on a tour of Lackland AFB in San Antonio, TX, which is where they train Army medics, like Jesse in JUST ONE TASTE. The three medics who spoke with our group (one of whom is female) are absolute hero material. They were very forthcoming and honest about their experiences.

ANGI: Which fairy tale could be set on Pine Mountain?

KIMBERLY: Oh, good one! Is there a fairy tale with a feisty princess and a reluctant hero? I might need to make one up…

ANGI: Which cartoon character would be fit at Pine Mountain?

KIMBERLY: I’ll go with the military theme and say Captain America.

ANGI: What do you like about the hero, Jesse Oliver, of JUST ONE TASTE?

KIMBERLY: All the things! But since I have to pick one, I’ll say his integrity. He’s an incredibly good man, even if he doesn’t see it.

ANGI: What do you like about the heroine, Kat McMarrin, of JUST ONE TASTE?

KIMBERLY: Kat is a take-charge kind of woman, and she lays it right out on the table.

ANGI: What is the best noise on Pine Mountain?

KIMBERLY: The dinner bell! There’s a lot of good eating in that town.

ANGI: LOVE LOVE LOVE IT !!

ANGI: Is living on Pine Mountain a Fairy Tale or Action Adventure?

KIMBERLY: Action Adventure. Those folks are always getting into trouble!

ANGI’S GOTTA ASK: Where is your ultimate-cost-is-not-an-issue vacation?

KIMBERLY’S NAME GOTTA ANSWER: Food and wine touring all the way across Italy. With cooking lessons! No doubt J
