Stand-alone Novella
Genre: M/M Romance

Whoever thought achieving career goals could be boring? Not Duncan Witten, but here he is at forty-one, in his dream job… and hating it. Throw it all away for a challenge? Yes, please!

 If only Dunc had known his challenging new job came with Paul Hanks, a man who redefines “stubborn.” They need to work together to meet targets, but thanks to Dunc’s idiot predecessor, Paul won’t take his calls or reply to emails.

 There’s only one solution: travel across the country and confront Paul face-to-face. It’s time to take things out of the office.
Just 0.99!
I drop my keys twice before I manage to get my front door open. Paul laughs about it, and I want to be embarrassed, but how can I be when I’ve made him laugh?
-->
It’s going to be so bad for me if he just wants to be friends.
“Just dump your bag there for now,” I tell him, tossing the keys on the console next to the door that I bought just for that purpose and dropping my laptop bag too. “I’ll give you the twenty-cent tour.”
He’s still grinning as he closes the door and drops his bags next to mine.
“Living area and kitchen.” I wave at the open-plan space, which is actually a pretty great size for an apartment in South Yarra, and then head toward the short hallway. “Bathroom is here”—I open the door on my way past so he can see it—“and this is the spare room-slash-office-slash storage room.” I hesitate, then push open my bedroom door. “And this is my room.”
He peers into the spare room, then saunters past me into my bedroom. Paul Hanks is in my bedroom, and his big, warm body brushed against mine when he entered. My mouth is so fucking dry right now.
He walks over to stand beside the bed and looks around. It’s nothing special, really—bed, nightstands, dresser, wardrobe, rug. The view from the window isn’t bad, but it’s not exactly a selling point either. At least I made the bed this morning.
Turning to face me, he raises an eyebrow. “Are you just going to stand there?”
For a long moment, I don’t understand. Then he raises his hand to his shirt and begins unbuttoning it, and awareness comes crashing in on me.
“Oh thank fuck!”

Louisa Masters started reading romance much earlier than her mother thought she should. While other teenagers were sneaking out of the house, Louisa was working out how to read romance novels without being discovered. As an adult, she feeds her addiction in every spare second, only occasionally tearing herself away to do things like answer the phone and pay bills. She lives in Melbourne, Australia, where she whines about the weather for most of the year while secretly admitting she’ll probably never move.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
