OUT NOW—Love You Now (Love You, Maine, Book 4) by Julia Kent (@jkentauthor) #romance #romanticcomedy #romcom #contemporaryromance
Description:
Ana DaSilva is looking for a palate cleanser. A one night stand. A reboot.
Instead, she got fireworks, sparks, chemistry, and the perfect guy. No one wants to meet Mr. Right when he should just be Mr. Rebound, but Mr. Right is so, so right.
But then he went from Mr. Right to Mr. Never, because when she learns she’s pregnant three days after that wonderful night with Dennis, she realizes her sleazy drug dealing ex not only left her with the legal mess she knew about, he gave her a life-long present.
One that means ignoring Dennis’ texts and phone calls, no matter how much she wants to answer.
Dennis Luview wants to escape his pain. Coming back to his hometown of Luview, Maine – the cheesy tourist trap where every day was Valentine’s Day – means facing a past he left behind twenty-four years ago. Yes, his family is loving, and sure, he has roots that go bone-deep in the small town community where people step up for each other.
But the naive eighteen-year-old who left to serve his country is now a retired Special Ops vet with a heavy entourage of ghosts and PTSD. No woman deserves all the baggage he’s lugging around.
Including Ana, who clearly wants nothing to do with him, no matter how intense their one haunting encounter really was.
Which is why six months after that hot night, he’s stunned to find her in his hometown, at a bridal shower, her ripe, pregnant belly swelling under a gorgeous yellow sundress.
A public confrontation turns into a very private reunion, and as Dennis pursues Ana she opens up, but is he crazy to want her — and what turns out to be another man’s baby — to settle down and find stability and love?
Or is he deluding himself that he’s remotely worth the happiness an instant family could offer, after his terrible past?
If you’re looking for a secret(ish) baby, one-night stand, strangers-to-lovers romance set in a town where every day is Valentine’s Day, with a veteran with PTSD who volunteers at an animal-rescue sanctuary and a therapist who keeps picking the wrong men (until now), then settle in with a cup of coffee to read the final book in the Love You, Maine series that features the Luview family.
One-night stand
Strangers to lovers
Secret(ish) baby
… and a sugar glider named Magic

Excerpt:
Her scream broke his heart.
And triggered a flashback.
Instantly, the elevator was filled with the whirl of helicopter blades, the piercing Doppler effect of bullets whizzing past his ears so crisp and real. Hot air filled his lungs with a suffocating pull, chest expanding with his sharp inhale. Dust crowded his nose, nostrils burning, as memory obliterated the present.
The hard stop from the elevator’s brake system shocked him back into the moment, Ana sobbing in his arms, shaking as if her tendons were about to snap. None of this was tenable. A cold sweat broke out across his face and chest.
Too much.
It was all too much.
“Your heart–it’s racing so fast!” She pulled her face away from his neck, mascara streaking down her cheeks. His dysregulation seemed to yank her out of her own.
“I’m fine,” he grunted, both of them knowing damn well he was lying.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Speech was hard, his tongue moving slower than it should. Ears ringing, he felt like his lungs were out of sync with his mouth, which was working to funnel air into him.
“Flashback?”
All he could do was frown.
“Tell me. Tell me what happened.”
“What?”
“What do you see? In your mind’s eye?”
“I’m not your patient.”
“Of course not. But you can tell me. You can share. There’s nothing you can’t say to me.”
“Ana, twenty seconds ago you were shrieking like you were dying. Suddenly, you’re tough?”
“Not tough. Still freaking out. But you need attention, too.”
An acrid gunpowder smell burned in his nose.
“I’m good.”
“Your jaw looks like it’s about to break in half. Your shoulders are blocks of granite.” Her hand was on his arm, rubbing his shoulder cap lightly.
“I work out. Thanks for noticing.”
“Ah. I see. Deflection.”
“Lady, if I didn’t deflect, I’d have died long ago.”
“I’m sure that’s true for parts of you,” she said softly, her doe eyes soft and smart, inviting him to be softer, too. “But it’s not true any longer. You can change. You can let other parts of you step in.”
“What parts are those?”
“The part that’s retired and never has to be in combat again.”
He laughed, his mouth opening so abruptly, it hurt along the jawline. He almost said, You’ve never been in Luview on Valentine’s Day, have you? but the joke would fall flat.
And he didn’t want to get into the whole “You’re a Luview?” b.s. conversation he’d had hundreds of times in his life. Last thing he needed right now was more complication.

Her books have been translated into French, German, and Italian, with more titles releasing in the future.
From billionaires to BBWs to new adult rock stars, Julia finds a sensual, goofy joy in every contemporary romance she writes.

Theirs was a marriage made in heaven, a marriage meant to last forever or so they thought.
A once-perfect marriage was thrown into a fragile state as a result of tiny whispers, and an unfortunate encounter causes the marriage to collapse. The once happy couple separate and a heartbroken Leilani returns home to London. And then out of the blue, Folarin’s family needs Leilani’s help and she must return to her ex-husband’s side. A series of unfortunate events have brought them together again and Folarin and Leilani must come to terms with the realisation, that somebody, somewhere was wrong. As they spend more time together, falling in love seems inevitable; even though one of them is promised to another, they must find a way to learn to trust and forgive each other in other to move on.
Will Folarin be able to trust Leilani?

Excerpt
Folarin wasn’t surprised Leilani had hung up on him yesterday.
He had expected her to be angry and yes, she was right to be angry, but still, he was angry with himself for calling her and even more annoyed that she hung up on him.And he was also a little bit tipsy.
Damn Leilani.
All she had to do was listen to him, was that so difficult to do? He got to his car, a sleek black BMW X6, and fumbled with his keys, cursing when they dropped from his hands. Placing his left arm on the bonnet for balance, he bent down to look for his keys.
He located them by his feet and gave a whoop of delight. Straightening up, he opened the door on the driver’s side and got in. He squinted. Everything looked blurred. But he could see the wide road before him, so he was good to go.
Starting the engine, Folarin gripped the steering wheel and drove out of the restaurant premises, his eyes focused on the road before him.
He had only gone a few miles when he ran a red light.
“He didn’t hear people screaming and he didn’t see the truck coming until it rammed into the passenger side of his car. The impact lifted his car, and it rolled over a couple of times, the windscreen shattering as the car tumbled down the poorly lit street, finally coming to a stop at the end of the road.
As his life flashed before him, Leilani was the last person he thought of just before the airbag deployed in his face.
And then he blacked out.

It’s Release Day for Mean Girls in Danish! #romance #dklit #danskromancelitteratur #bogerduvildelemedandre #litteratur #danskromanceforfatter #bøger #baadsgaardsbooks
Hi everyone,
It’s release day for Mean Girls in Danish, aka Hede Dromme, and I couldn’t be happier! I still loooooove that cover! It’s out in eBook and hardback format and should be coming in audiobook format soon. It should also be available in Danish libraries in a few months time, depending on how quickly it goes through their approval system. So, you know the drill – if you prefer to read in Danish or know someone who does, please let them know about this steamy read!
Here’s the blurb:
Adele Blackthorne er en stor pige. Hun har former. Hun ved det, og hun er blevet drillet med det hele sit liv, men er nået til den erkendelse, at hun er ligeglad. Det kan godt være, at hun er buttet på den lækre måde, men hun er også sund. Meget sundere end de overlegne kvinder på idrætscentret, der peger og stirrer og kommer med onde kommentarer. Adele trækker på skuldrene og nyder at kaste hemmelighedsfulde blikke efter centrets lækre livredder, Oliver.
Oliver finder det svært ikke at blande sig, da mobningen af Adele tager til. Han vil helst ikke ende i problemer med sin chef, men samtidig kan han ikke holde ud at se, hvordan Adele bliver behandlet. Især fordi han synes, at hun er hverken tyk eller grim, men en virkelig tiltrækkende kvinde, og han vil gerne lære hende meget bedre at kende.
Hede drømme er en livsbekræftende bully romance kombineret med tropen ’big beautiful woman’.
