Coming Soon: Random Acts of Fantasy by Julia Kent

By Barb Drozdowich Leave a Comment

Welcome to Sugarbeat’s Books – The Home of the Romance Novel!

RandomActsOfFantasy

Release date: 4/15/14 TODAY!!

Description:

From New York Times bestselling author Julia Kent comes the third in her Random series:

You ever really think that you’ll win the lottery? Meet Mr. Right? How about two Mr. Rights?

Somehow the universe is handing me everything I want (except for that lottery part…), and I

don’t like it. Not one little bit. Because just when you get all your dreams handed to you on a

silver platter, that’s when an airplane dumps its sewage on your house. Or your mama’s diabetes

takes a bad turn. Or your mobile phone gets stuck in your hoohaw.

(What? It happens…)

Boring old average me got everything I wanted already, moving from small-town Ohio to

big-city Boston to follow my heart. So when the fancy invitation offering me a pile of money

to come with the band, Random Acts of Crazy, to perform on an island resort and be their

manager arrived, I thought it was a cosmic joke. Enough money to help my mama get what she

needed, five days in sunny paradise, and a shot at greatness for the band? Unreal. One big shoe

was waiting to drop. On my head.

Just like no one really ever finds a naked man wearing only a guitar standing by the side of

the road hitchhiking and ends up falling in love with him and his friend and moving halfway

across the country for true love, no one gets an invitation to come to what turns out to be a

resort where people make what me and Joe and Trevor do together look like a chaste peck on

the cheek. But…

Well.

I guess these things do happen.

To me.

After the Rain
by Daisy Harris

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cover_AftertheRainBLURB:

They’re going to need a bigger tent.

Henri’s list of bad exes is as long as his arm, but nothing prepared him for his latest, heart-stomping breakup. He thought he couldn’t feel more abandoned, until his ride for a group camping trip bails, leaving him stuck driving for hours with a guy who is absolutely not his type.

After breaking up with his girlfriend of five years, firefighter Logan is working up the nerve to explore his interest in men. He knows he’s gay. He just hasn’t had the guts to do anything about it…until now.

Henri’s big-city attitude and tight jeans push every last one of Logan’s buttons, and when he and Henri have to share a tent, Logan is thrilled. He should have realized Pacific Northwest weather would get wet—forcing them to strip naked. Though the steam between them is thicker than coastal fog, Henri’s not sure he can let himself fall for another man. Not even the guy who finally treats him right.

Warning: Contains bad ex-boyfriends, even worse weather, and more than your average amount of sex in a tent. May not be suitable for those with germ phobias, outdoor aversions or fear of damp shoes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Excerpt:

Jesus fucking Christ. Henri crouched to get a sweater from his bag, and more importantly, the cigarettes out of his pocket. Hands shaking, he popped one between his lips.

His preliminary test had been negative at the health center that morning—thank sweet God in heaven above, and Henri was totally going back to church as soon as possible—but he’d been informed he needed to get tested again in three to six weeks since seroconversion so soon after exposure was rare. With the stress of that hanging over his head, Henri wasn’t up to entertaining a complete stranger for five hours.

“Warnin’ you now, no smokin’ in my truck,” Logan said in a voice that was quiet but firm.

“I’ll try and remember that.” Imperiously, Henri flicked on a lighter and sucked in a drag. The paper crinkled as it burned, and the ember flashed red right before a soothing rush of nicotine sizzled through Henri’s bloodstream. If Logan was watching him, Henri did his best to ignore it. Something about the giant, blond-haired, blue-eyed cowboy rubbed Henri the wrong way.

AuthorPicAUTHOR Bio and Links:

Birkenstock-wearing glamour girl and mother of two by immaculate conception, Daisy Harris still isn’t sure if she writes erotica. Her romances start out innocently enough. However, her characters behave like complete sluts. Much to Miss Harris’s dismay the sex tends to get completely out of hand.

She writes about fantastical creatures and about young men getting their freak on, and she’s never missed an episode of The Walking Dead.

Untangle My Heart

by Maria K. Alexander

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

perf5.000x8.000.inddBLURB:

 

When her marriage ended in tragedy, Kate DiFrancesco rebuilt her life, but has never gotten over the pain of what she lost. Seeking the help of an ex-lover ignites feelings she’s promised never to have again. She’ll need to untangle herself from dangers in her past in order to break the hard shell around her heart.

 

Edward Weston has a lot to prove, both to his stuffy upper-crust British family, and to  himself. Working alongside Kate, a woman he had a casual relationship with, stirs unexpected feelings. Helping her family makes him realize what he’s missing. For the first time, he wants more than a one-night stand.

 

When Kate is threatened, Edward must overcome feeling unworthy to protect the woman he loves and fight for the family he never thought he’d have.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Excerpt:

 

“Privacy is a hard thing to find around here, so you may want to lock the door. Especially when you’re wearing only a towel and my sister is on the prowl.”

 

“I’ll have to remember that,” Edward said, taking a step toward her. “I knew she was smitten, but didn’t think she would be waiting in the room after my shower. I was struggling with a tactful way of getting her out.”

 

“I’m sure you’re not accustomed to asking a woman to leave your room.”

 

He gave her an unapologetic grin. “No, usually not.”

 

“I guess it’s partly my fault. I told her I don’t have any claims to you. Apparently she took that to mean it was open season to pursue you.”

 

“Yet you stopped by. Why?”

 

“I wanted to thank you again for your help today. You dropped everything to come and help my family and that means a lot to me.”

 

He took another step toward her until he stood directly in front of her. “You mean a lot to me. I’d do anything I could to help you.”

 

She nodded in acknowledgement, not sure she could trust her voice to speak with him all but touching her.

 

“And you’re wrong about not having a claim on me.”

 

His hands found their way to her waist. Her heart thumped and she knew she should pull back, wanted to pull back. But his blue-gray eyes held her in a hypnotic state and she couldn’t move.
