I think a few members of humanity have forgotten the true reason we’re actually here…
The horrific invasion of Ukraine by Russia and Putin’s war crimes frightens me and I can’t pretend otherwise. I can, however, offer temporary escapes in the form of our latest releases, especially for our lovers of clean, clever romances or the steamy kind, fraught with humorous diversions, and lovers’ suspense.
“You know you should stay away.
Everything about him spells trouble.
But that’s what makes him irresistible…
Find your happy-ever-after with not just one, but SIX IRRESISTIBLE BAD BOYS in these NEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED STEAMY STORIES From New York Times & USA Today Bestselling, Award-Winning Authors.” https://smile.amazon.com/IRRESISTIBLE-BOYS-Irresistible-Romance-Book-ebook/dp/B09P8MFQJ7
My latest release has been getting some FIVE-star love.
“Royce Cooper is zesty, captivating, and knows how to play a good game of poker. With his talent for bringing out the best in people, Casey considers leaving her unconventional job and the past to start anew with this interesting man – if their dogs approve of their humans’ blooming relationship that’s getting hotter by the second.” https://smile.amazon.com/Caseys-Charade-Susan-Jean-Ricci-ebook/dp/B09PGXYSYW
How about our Cute but Crazy Quirky Careers? This is the fourth installment of our Romantic Comedy Series, and we at the Billboard doubt it will be our last!
“What’s the weirdest job you’ve ever heard of? An ostrich groomer? A Lego inspector? A toothpick tester? How about a barroom Santa, exotic dancer, or a woman who repairs chain saws and lawnmowers?
Some of your favorite Romantic Comedy authors are returning with NEW stories to take the edge off the hassles of the day and life in general. The Word Wranglers of the Wacky, Wonderful Women, Ditzy Dudes, and Unique and Unpredictable CUTE BUT CRAZY box set collections have taken on another topic: Quirky Careers.” https://smile.amazon.com/Cute-But-Crazy-Quirky-Careers-ebook/dp/B09GYKGCGM
How about a Pre-Order where mermaids swim with the dolphins? Guaranteed to make you sigh, “Aw…”
“After Merilee earns a coveted position at an aquarium, she discovers the love of a lifetime with Travis Swanson, a fun and flirty whale expert who says seals bore him, but not cute mammal trainers who perform with the dolphins.” https://smile.amazon.com/Ripples-Under-Sea-Christmas-Tale-ebook/dp/B09RZK21TH
