Dr. Hottie Vivian Wood   http://bit.ly/2DHuYqd Contemporary Romance I’m not a big believer in romance. I’m certainly not the type of woman to get drunk, meet a guy, and go to friggin Reno later that night to get married. But Dr. Hottie himself, AKA Jack Stratton, changed all that. Even if it was all a lie. Okay, so our relationship is as fake as a bad spray tan. It’s all to show up our mutual exes, make them realize how much they miss us. Can I help it if he’s so ridiculously handsome that simply being near him makes me blush? And when he smiles at me… Maybe I should’ve nicknamed him Dr. Panty Dropper.

Kennedy Ryan shares a special post on the inspiration behind "Bruise," the original piece written for her latest release Grip . (Scroll to the end for the full poem & a signed paperback giveaway.) “ Am I all of your fears, wrapped in black skin ?” The cursor flashed a warning at the end of the line I’d just typed. Read on its own, the words seared the page, an incendiary challenge. A jagged line in the sand that could shove half my readers to one side, and half to the other. I needed to be careful. I wanted to be fearless. I had to be honest. The hero of Grip , my latest release, Marlon James (Grip to his fans), is a rising hip-hop star, but he’s more than that. He’s a lyricist and a poet. He’s a black man, concerned about black men vulnerable to cops who should be protecting them. He admires officers who run toward danger when most of us run away. He wonders what he can do to bridge the gap between the two. I took several risks writing Grip , confronting, ...
