Just a Little Secret by Carly Phillips & Erika Wilde Release Blitz

He’s not just a bachelor up for auction…
He’s her sexy birthday gift for the weekend.

Georgia Brooks had no intention of bidding on a bachelor at the charity auction, but her sister has other ideas and gifts her with a man for her birthday weekend. But not just any man... Drew Daniels. A hot, gorgeous lawyer who makes her want to shed her good-girl image and learn all sorts of new and risqué things.

Attorney Drew Daniels is more than willing to introduce the beautiful Georgia to her naughtier side. Their weekend together is steamy and romantic... and it doesn’t hurt that a rival of Drew’s has his eye on Georgia, too. Stirring the other man’s jealousy is a fun side benefit.

Their tryst should have been just about pleasure, but Drew finds he’s attracted to more than Georgia’s outer beauty and he wants to keep her as his own. When Drew suggests they continue their secret affair, Georgia is too smitten to say no. Even if her parents expect her to marry her lawyer father’s right-hand man.

Georgia finds herself falling for Drew harder and faster than she could have imagined. Until he’s forced to make a choice that has the potential to break her heart.

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
I love the match-up between these two series, and even if this were new to you, it would be an enjoyable read – but if you are up to date with all things Kingston - Dirty Dare, then you will definitely love catching up with old friends. This installment has just the right level of naughtiness and heat surrounding a fun and fast romance.

Georgia has been tormented by her mother to do exactly as she wishes for years, including the latest plan to marry her off to the new junior partner in her father's law firm. At a charity bachelor auction, her sister gives her a date weekend with Drew Daniels – a man who had definitely attracted her attention!

This gift leads to some steamy rebelling from her usual life, and an awakening raunchiness that Drew makes her confident to enjoy. They certainly embrace the chemistry which swirls between them – delicious. Not all is smooth sailing, but as every romance fan knows, love rules!

This is escapism at its best.


Avid Reader – ☆☆☆☆
M/F Romance

Georgia is the good daughter. She does what she's told and hates to rock the boat. Her sister, on the other hand, is the epitome of what Georgia wishes she could be. Georgia's slight rebellion is the job that she loves. Knowing that her parents are already marrying her off to one of her dad's partners is not something Georgia is going to tolerate, but not knowing how to tell her parents is another story.

Drew is a confident, successful attorney who is liking his life. While he knows that he doesn't want to be alone forever, Drew is content for right now. When he is roped into a charity bachelor auction, Drew doesn't know that his life will change forever.

Georgia and Drew go on a journey of self-discovery, lust, romance, and love. These two set the sheets on fire and learn from each other on how they want their lives to go. I love Georgia's strength and really love how she embraces these new changes.

You won't be disappointed in this crossover and even if you haven't read the previous books, you'll get a kick out of this one.

No Inhibitions by Erika Wilde Blog Tour

A contemporary fairy tale with a dirty, sexy twist! No Inhibitions is a modern, sinfully seductive take on Lady and the Tramp.

Remy Lowell leads a private life. After a troubled past, he’s worked his way up from nothing and he’s damn proud of that fact. His newest contracting job is more provocative than expected and his new client has him thinking thoughts he shouldn’t.

Tempest Wilder is intent on creating her own empire, and her newest venture is Wilder Things, a boutique hotel with seductively themed rooms for couples to enjoy. Only she didn’t plan for the sexy, rough-around-the-edges contractor she’s hired to build out the rooms that challenges her at every turn.

He's a cautious and guarded professional, but she’s a temptress he can’t resist. But after their business deal is over and their affair comes to an end, will the lady and the reformed tramp throw out all inhibitions to find their happily ever after?

No Inhibitions is a STANDALONE, enemies-to-lovers fairy tale romance. No cheating. No cliffhangers.

“Hello, Remy,” she said in greeting when she finally reached him.

“Tempest,” he replied with a cordial nod.

She cocked her head playfully to the side, momentarily drawing his gaze to the way she’d swept her dark hair into an intricate style that was held together with crystal and pearl pins. The elegant updo left her shoulders and slender neck bare, emphasizing the pair of sparkling ruby earrings hanging from her lobes.

“Dare I say you look like you’re about to bolt for the exit,” she said, a light accusation in her tone.

He inhaled a deep breath—big mistake—because the scent of her soft, feminine perfume went straight to his dick. It took effort to remain outwardly unaffected, and for her, he allowed a smile to ease across his lips. “Guilty as charged.” He planned on doing exactly that as soon as she went on her way.

Her perfectly shaped brows furrowed in a concerned frown. “Are you not having a good time?

“Don’t take this personally, but fairy tales are not my thing,” he replied, his tone wry.

“How do you know that for certain?” she countered, a flirtatious glimmer now sparking in her amber eyes. “If you leave right now, you’ll never know if something magical might happen tonight.”

He huffed out a laugh at her whimsical, romantic notion, though the sound that erupted from his throat was as rough as sandpaper. “I’m not looking for anything magical to happen.” In fact, he’d do his best to avoid anything even remotely close to it.

She shrugged a smooth, bare shoulder. “Sometimes, it’s better to leave all expectations and cynicism at the door and just see where the evening takes you.”

He shook his head in disagreement. “Trust me when I say my cynicism is well earned.” And now he was determined that all that skepticism would protect what little was left of his soul from being further ransacked. “I was happy to come and support the Wilder Way Foundation, and now that I’ve done that, I think it’s best if I go. Good night, Tempest.”

He started to walk away, but she grabbed at his tuxedo sleeve. “Remy, wait.”

Not wanting to be rude, he stopped and glanced back at her.

The smile she gave him was so sweet and persuasive it made something in his chest shift ever so slightly. “You can’t leave without having at least one dance.”

Oh, yes, he could, and he shored up his resolve against that imploring look of hers. “I don’t dance.”

The hand on his arm slid down, until her cool, slender fingers curled around his, not only startling him but ensnaring him in more ways than one. “It’s a ballad,” she pointed out of the song Raevynn Walsh was now singing. “Everyone can slow dance. It takes minimal skill... unless you don’t trust yourself to stand that close to me?”

Her comment was underscored with a subtle challenge, an undeniable dare that alluded to the attraction between them that was getting increasingly difficult for him to resist.

“Just one dance,” she persisted oh so sweetly, her husky voice taking on a teasing lilt as she leaned in closer. "I solemnly promise not to cast any kind of fairy-tale spell on you."

Bold and determined Tempest Wilder didn't give him another chance to turn her down. With her hand secured in his, she pulled him toward the dance floor in front of the stage, which was already filled with other couples, and he would have looked like a jackass if he rebuffed her at this point. Once she found a spot for the two of them, she turned back around and didn’t hesitate to step as close as their bodies would allow.

The provocative feel of her soft breasts pressing against his chest and her supple thighs skimming along his was like a fucking shock to his celibate system, and he automatically tensed in response to the sexy female curves aligning perfectly to his more masculine frame. It was all he could do to keep his dick from getting hard as a spike against her lower stomach.

Still holding his one hand, she smoothed her other one up the lapel of his jacket and around his neck. Clearly sensing his discomfort, she tipped her head back and gave him a flirty smile, no doubt meant to tease him.

“So, when it comes to slow dancing, the man usually puts his arm around the woman’s waist,” she suggested, since he hadn’t yet done so. “And if he really likes the woman he’s with, he’ll splay his hand low on her back and pull her in close.”

Oh, he knew how to slow dance, but just the thought of putting his hands on her so intimately was wreaking havoc with his libido, and he had a feeling she was well aware of his predicament, too. It was another sexy dare from her, and while he’d spent the past few years avoiding this kind of close contact with Tempest, the sexually starved man in him who desired this woman slipped past all his carefully erected walls.

Fuck it, he decided. What could happen in a room full of people? Giving in to the temptation to touch her, to enjoy the feel of her in his arms, even for a few minutes, he placed his hand on her bare back and slowly caressed his palm all the way down to the base of her spine. The subtle pressure of his hand against her smooth skin drew her as close as the two of them could get, aligning their hips in a way that was suggestively carnal.

Breathing became difficult... He hadn’t been this close to a woman in over three years, and there was no denying she felt so damn good. She was incredibly soft, she smelled like heaven, and she made him want to do something wild and wicked and uncharacteristic—like take her somewhere dark and private where he could give in to the lust clamoring inside him.

An unmistakable shiver coursed through her as they shifted in time to the slow song. With her staring into his eyes, her own darkened with awareness as she moved her head to the side of his to speak into his ear. “See, touching me wasn’t so bad, was it?”

“You’re bad,” he murmured, shocking himself with his own playful response when he’d been so indifferent to women for years. It was as though this woman was rousing his sex drive, along with a more indulgent part of him, from a long, deep slumber. The thought was both frightening and exhilarating.

She drew her head back and laughed. To his surprise, the light, sensual sound eased the rest of the tension in his body, allowing him to just enjoy the moment with her.

She gave him a cheeky grin. “Just for the record, Mr. Lowell, I can be very bad, depending on the circumstance.”

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is the third book in the series, and I have to admit is my first read, but you can rest assured that I will be going back and catching up! Even if I know how those relationships end up, I am sure that the journey will be worth following.

Here we get Hunter and Maddux Wilder's little sister, Tempest, getting her fairy tale being told. It is loosely based on Lady and the Tramp, and any fan of the tale will be delighted at the scene which gives us the classic moment from that film. I absolutely loved the set up for that, and for the whole romance. These are two people who have made huge successes of their lives thanks to their hard work, and in Tempest's case, with the support of her brothers. I love the details about her current business and how that has made her comfortable with herself as a sensual woman. Her new bar/hotel project will bring fairy tales to life for guests, of that there is no doubt. Her brothers' friend, Remy, is the man to deliver her new project and at same time, they discover that there is magic between them. Both nervous of making the commitment to pursue it, they first give in to the chemistry and work on the rest.

It is a really fun, sweet story, and readers who have read the previous two linked stories will enjoy meeting up with the brothers' fiancées as they form a new Wilder family unit.

M/F Romance

Tempest is amazing at setting up fundraisers and planning great parties. With her brothers in her corner, she knows that she can do anything. The one thing she's not too sure on is her lingering crush on her brothers' friend, Remy. He's yummy and while he might be a bit damaged, she can't deny her attraction to him.

Remy is just trying to get through each day. Still wary of any type of relationship after being divorced in a very demeaning manner, Remy knows that Tempest is someone he should stay away from. Remy respects her brothers a lot and feels like he owes them a lot since they helped him rebuild his business. But while attending a fundraiser, he can't help but notice Tempest.

These two dance around each other, and while they have amazing chemistry, both are slightly wary at first. Do they have enough time to devote to each other? Can Remy let go of his past, which brings along a lot of unresolved issues? This was a sweet, quick read that had a lot going on. But it never felt rushed or unfinished. I really enjoyed this.

The Boyfriend Experience by Carly Phillips & Erika Wilde Blog Tour

He’s the total package.

Except…

Eric Miller isn’t looking for a long term relationship. And he definitely isn’t thrilled when a friend signs him up for The Boyfriend Experience app behind his back. It’s not like he has a problem getting women on his own. But when he gets a notification that someone is in need of his... services, he’s intrigued enough to check out her profile and can’t resist the sexy, sassy little brunette who only wants him as a decoy for a family event.

Evie Bennett needs a boyfriend, stat. Someone who can accompany her to her family reunion so she doesn't have to explain that she's been recently dumped. Again. She’s perfectly happy being an independent woman, but what’s a girl to do when her new fake boyfriend starts to feel like the real deal?

They joined the short line in front of the register, and Eric glanced from the billboard listing all the fancy beverages, to Evie. “What would you like?”

“I’ll just take a regular cup of coffee.”

“Come on, you can do better than that,” he teased. “You don’t strike me as being that boring.”

She raised a brow, a glimmer of amusement dancing in her eyes. “You’ve come to that conclusion in the two minutes of meeting me?”

“Am I wrong?” he challenged light-heartedly.

“No,” she admitted, a smile tugging at the corner of her very kissable mouth. “I just don’t treat myself to a fancy cup of coffee very often. Normally, I’m too rushed in the morning to indulge myself.”

They took another step forward in line. “Lucky for you, it’s my treat and I insist you indulge.”

She tipped her head, drawing his gaze to the soft tumble of hair falling over her shoulder and how the ends curled right at the upper swell of her breast. “Shouldn’t I be paying for this, considering the circumstances?”

“Absolutely not,” he replied adamantly, forcibly keeping his gaze on her face instead of her chest. “What boyfriend worth his salt would let his girl pay?”

“I haven’t hired you yet,” she reminded him cheekily.

He grinned. He wasn’t expecting Evie Bennett to be so impudent, and surprise, surprise, he was definitely enjoying their banter, and her. “True. Which means I really need to step up my game and impress you.”

And honestly, when was the last time he’d wanted to make such an effort with the opposite sex? The answer to that eluded him, because truthfully, he couldn’t remember being so fascinated and attracted to a woman beyond her physical features. Yet there was no denying that Evie’s feisty disposition drew him in and made him want to learn more about her. Which he needed to do anyways, if she was going to hire him. And make no mistake, they weren’t parting ways until he’d sealed the deal, because she was in the market for a temporary boyfriend, and like his campy bio had promised, he aimed to please.

“What can I get for the two of you?” the barista asked, pulling Eric’s thoughts, and attention, to the girl waiting for their order.

He glanced at Evie. “Don’t disappoint me,” he said humorously, referencing the boring cup of coffee she’d mentioned.

A cute, daring smile flitted across her mouth before she looked back at the barista. “I’ll take a white chocolate mocha with an extra shot of espresso and whipped cream.”

Damn. Was it crazy that he was totally turned on by the fact that she hadn’t ordered one of those ridiculous skinny, non-fat, sugar-free lattes that made a mockery of a designer coffee? This was not a girl who’d opt for a salad if she was offered a burger or pizza, and thank God for that. His attraction to her just increased ten-fold.

This is the first in a new series, and should be a lot of fun if this story is anything to go by!

Eric Miller's friends sign him up as a beta tester for their new hire-a-boyfriend app – and they even agree on his behalf for him to go on a coffee 'date.' He is not impressed at all, but good manners mean he goes to the meeting.

Evie is a really lovely person and having been persuaded to think about hiring someone for a weekend to stop her family questioning her being alone again, particularly her hateful cousin Raquel. So when she meets Eric, she decided that he would definitely fit the bill, and maybe this wasn't such a crazy idea after all.

It is a lot of fun watching the two of them recognise that they have excellent chemistry and similar life values, and yet have to acknowledge that this is meant to be a business transaction. Eric somewhat damages the concept when he tells her what he wants as a form of payment for the weekend of pretending to be her boyfriend. As we watch them break down the rules, and reset them repeatedly, as well as see the competitive nature that both of them enjoy at the family weekend, the pages turn ever quicker.

Phillips always tells a good story, and I really enjoyed this one from the very first page. I am looking forward to future installments.


Mary – ☆☆☆☆
Evie Bennett needs a boyfriend and quick. Since her last boyfriend turned out to be a dud, she needs someone to pretend to be her boyfriend for a family weekend. And that is all she is looking for. When her friend suggests an app to find a pretend boyfriend, Evie thinks it sounds like the perfect idea.

Eric Miller isn't looking for a girlfriend or a long-term relationship. He is not that type of guy. When he finds out that his friend has added him to his "Boyfriend Experience" app, he just wants to be removed. But when he meets Evie to tell her it was a mistake he was on the app, he finds himself drawn to her. She is sexy, sassy, and might be a little fun that he needs.

What neither of them expect is how easy they find it to be around each other. And when Eric meets her parents, he can't believe how laid back they are. He ends up having a great time with her and the rest of her family and he wants to spend more time with her.

Can Eric give Evie a relationship that she wants? Will Evie be able to move past Eric if things don't work out? Will the Boyfriend Experience turn into something more?

I really enjoyed this story and loved the time Eric and Evie spent with her family – her parents left me laughing until I was crying. This story is funny, sad, heartfelt, and in the end, will leave you loving it. I hope you enjoy it too.

Angela – ☆☆☆☆
Eden delivers again! One of the things I’ve really enjoyed about the series is that of the novellas I have read, the ones that are from one of an author’s series is written so that it can be enjoyed as a stand-alone book yet introduces you to that series and The Capture does this very well.

Dean and Jillian have been married for twenty years and less than a year ago they spiced up their sex life with a bit of BDSM. As part of it, they each have a “fantasies” vase from which they will draw one of their partner’s fantasies and try to fulfill it if they can. In order to fulfill the most recent of Jillian’s fantasies pulled, Dean books them on a weekend getaway to Eden where he has made arrangements for a rather elaborate fantasy – Jillian being claimed by a rogue pirate. While I have only read a few of the books from the Invitation to Eden series, this is the first that has involved role play and it was great. The staff – and possibly other guests – did a wonderful job of recreating the pirate-filled tavern where Jillian was auctioned off, not only did she fall into her role but I felt the realistic nature of the role-play scene. As Dean embraced his role as Black Heart so thoroughly it was easy to get swept up in the story right along with Jillian. I loved that Jillian and Dean showed that twenty years of marriage did not equate stale sex because the sex scenes are HOT! Shiver me timbers and all my girly parts! I look forward to reading more from the Invitation to Eden series as well as checking out Ms. Wilde’s The Marriage Diaries series.


Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆☆
This novella features Ms. Wilde's characters from the Marriage Diaries. It is a lovely short story about their weekend getaway to Eden. It is satisfying in both its depth and its intensity. It is sexy, passionate and loving. This series of stories set in one place, but written about very different characters by different authors is a wonderful way to make new discoveries.

A perfect evening's reading material. Just add a glass of wine and somewhere cosy to curl up and indulge.

Erika Wilde (aka Janelle Denison) is the USA Today bestselling author of over 50 contemporary romances for multiple print publishers.

So, why the new pen name?

As Janelle Denison I've always written sexy books, but lately my writing has taken on more erotic elements that I wanted to keep separate for readers because not everyone likes their reading material on the spicier, kinkier side of romance. However, please be assured that even as Erika Wilde, you will still get an emotionally layered story with characters you'll care about and fall in love with. That is always my goal, whether I'm writing straight contemporary romances, or more erotically charged stories.

Currently, I'm working on The Marriage Diaries and making sure that Dean and Jillian enjoy exploring the more erotic side to their marriage. The series will be on-going, with no foreseeable ending as of right now, for as long as readers want to be voyeurs to Dean and Jillian's sizzling new relationship.

I'm also planning a spin-off series in the future, featuring the hot military men that work security for Dean at Noble and Associates. Sign up to receive my newsletter for updates and news!
