The Meet-Cute

About The Meet-Cute

I love Meet-Cute stories, among my favorites are Sleepless in Seattle, You’ve Got Mail, and It Happened One Night. I’m sure you have your favorites. Well, you are in for a treat. This novel is full of meet-cutes.
Sierra is a Ph.D. candidate and TA in Sociology and is obsessed with the Meet-Cute in real life. She wants to explore examples and see if they jive with Hollywood’s version for her dissertation. Her handsome professor and mentor stands in the way. He thinks the subject isn’t real, doesn’t do justice to her genius, and diminishes her ability to contribute something meaningful. Not only that, she wants to insert herself into the experiments by forcing meet-cutes. A big no-no. But Sierra is obsessed, she always has been as she has a touch of autism. Her genius is not unlike Extraordinary Attorney Woo [NetFlix] with her photographic memory and odd habits.
It’s hard to say no to a gorgeous, exotic force of nature who acts like a robot, that is, with no other interest except her Ph.D. He won’t let her extreme beauty cloud his judgment. Besides he still mourns the loss of his wife, and let’s face it, she fights him like hell on every sociological issue and she’s usually right, for God’s sake.

You, the reader and lover of meet-cutes know the answer to this problem.

Fixin’ Vixen by Cat Collins

About Fixin’ Vixen by Cat Collins

I was sent to the Holidays Inn (not that one) to “chillax” by none other than Santa. I wouldn’t have needed the forced vacation if my ex Rudy, had kept his nose out of his ex’s Clare’s p—ockets. Her pockets.

Because he’s a dirtbag, I’m here biding my time until I “get my Christmas spirit back.” Santa, however, isn’t content to let me sip holiday drinks by the fire. Nope. He designed some ridiculous games for the guests at the inn. Now I’m stuck on a team with a yeti, Jack Frost, and the North Pole’s sexiest elf.

We have to do a challenge per day for the next twelve days. If I don’t participate and become all Christmasy again, I’ll be kicked off Santa’s fleet for good. What would a reindeer shifter do then? Open an online store and sell knitted tissue box cozies? (Ahem, that’s what Clare does.)

I have no choice, so I’ll play Santa’s reindeer games. But I don’t know how I’ll win. My teammates are distracting. All of them—yep, I said all—are trying to get me under the mistletoe, if you know what I mean. Each of them has something special I’d like to explore, but having a man in my life is what got me here in the first place. Now there are three?
Ho, ho, and ho.

I know one thing for sure: I definitely want to take back that Best Boss Ever mug I got Santa for Christmas.

This is a steamy romance for mature readers where the main female character, er, reindeer will end up with more than one love interest. If that sounds naughty and/or nice to you, grab you a cup of hot chocolate, cozy up to the fire, and enjoy this spicy spin on Christmas. It might remind you of a beloved classic, but rest assured, this is not that tale.

RIOT: A 1960s Love Story by Charles S. Isaacs

About RIOT: A 1960s Love Story by Charles S. Isaacs

A fast-paced journey on an emotional roller coaster, bursting with political and sexual passions.

It’s the late 1960s. The Vietnam War, the Antiwar Movement and the Black Power Movement are rushing toward their explosive peaks. In the midst of this charged environment, an inter-racial pair of young activists fall madly in love. Awaiting them are excitement, danger, heartache and redemption.

RIOT: A 1960s Love Story chronicles these lovers’ challenging journey: their coming of age amidst an unpopular war, a racially polarized city, a hostile mayor and ever-mounting threats, all while working through their own deep psychological issues.

1968 is marked by campus unrest, assassinations and urban rebellions, as well as political violence that thrusts the duo into clashes with Chicago’s police and the National Guard. The suspense builds breathlessly to a heartrending climax during the street protests surrounding that summer’s Democratic National Convention.

Picture This by Flynn Woods

About Picture This by Flynn Woods

My roommate has a secret OnlyMens account. If I only hadn’t subscribed…

My four new jock roommates quickly accepted me as one of their own—except for Leon, who was distant from the start. It makes sense, though. Leon is the university’s heartthrob—athletic, intelligent, and mysterious. In comparison, I’m just some random gay nerd who somehow ended up living with him because I got adult content unblocked on the university’s Wi-Fi.
No matter what I tried, I couldn’t get on Leon’s good side. Guys like him never hang with people like me—let alone go further than that. It didn’t help that the more he distanced himself from me, the more my thoughts revolved around him. So when I used my computer skills to learn more about him—to find something I could use to connect with him—I stumbled upon his secret.
Leon has a secret OnlyMens account.
Not wasting two seconds thinking about it, I subscribed to his page. What I saw surpassed all my expectations, and everything was exciting until… I suddenly got a private message from him.

Picture This is a gay, new adult, erotic romance following college roommates Ace and Leon. This book contains mature themes, language, and explicit sexual scenes. This standalone is part of The Secret Collection and can be read for free with Kindle Unlimited.

Katie: I stare at the monstrosity in front of me; rows of tacky, plastic, blow-up snowmen grin at me behind their impossibly rosy cheeks, and a life-size Santa Claus droops depressingly over himself, half deflated but still every bit as jolly, from the roof.
It’s horrible—my worst nightmare. And for Christ’s sake, it’s still November.
Now, I know that my mother is crazy; she’s moved to the one place in the universe that she knows I won’t be able to stand; A town called Christmas, Michigan.
When I arrive at the boarding house on Candy Cane Lane, I meet its kooky owner and her strange family. A granddaughter who floods my bedroom as a way of saying hello, and a tall, brooding grandson who might just want me to leave this crazy town more than I do.
