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

10415290Can an ordinary girl survive preparations for her very own Royal Wedding?
Bella Greenwood isn’t a fairytale girl. If pushed, she’d probably tell you that her perfect wedding would involve a handful of close friends and family. But as she’s never met anyone she’d like to marry, it is a moot point. Until, in a midnight garden, Bella is helped out of an embarrassing situation by a tall, dark, handsome man with laughing eyes. Suddenly her life changes for ever, because the man is the world’s most eligible bachelor—Prince Richard, heir to the throne. Richard sweeps her off her feet, and before she knows, it they’re engaged—which is when Bella’s problems really begin. Suddenly she is public property, and as if it isn’t enough to have her every move watched—while also learning to curtsy and negotiating the etiquette of how to address her future mother-in-law—she soon finds herself embroiled in bridesmaid politics, a royal hen night, and a wedding dress controversy that causes a national scandal.

To Marry A Prince is available from Amazon

RETURN TO AUDUBON SPRINGS

By

RoseAnn DeFranco

 

MEDIA KIT ReturntoAudubonSprings_8071_750BLURB:

When Emma Grant returns to her family’s Audubon Springs beach house to fulfill the stipulations of her father’s will, she has every intention of forcing her former lover out of the house for good. She’s never fit into her wealthy family and would prefer avoiding her past, but with her brother threatening to reveal her young daughter, she has no choice.

 

Rafe Iuliano has other plans. The wealthy Grants tried to bribe him out of Emma’s life years ago, but he’s determined to prove once and for all that a master carpenter is worthy of Emma and the house.

 

Their ridiculous and steamy battle for the house reignites the love and passion that bloomed between them years ago. But when Rafe discovers she’s kept their daughter a secret for two years, can he overcome anger and pride to claim his family and the love of his life, or will the deception drive a final wedge between them?

 

Excerpt:

 

Emma pulled herself to a standing position. “Don’t pretend you know anything about me.”

 

“I know more about you than you know about yourself, and that pisses you off!”

 

“Maybe once, but you know nothing about me now!” She scanned the kitchen, anger bubbling inside her. Spotting the eggs, she grabbed one out of the carton and smashed it into his chest.

 

“For real?” He looked down at his shirt, mouth hanging open in surprise.

 

A sane person would have backed away after catching the murderous look in his eyes. Emma didn’t budge.

 

“Do you need to cleanse now that you’ve touched that egg?”

 

“Cleanse? Ha! After the Iuliano brother assault, nothing short of bombing will cleanse this place. In fact, after your little stunt last night, I should level the whole house, and call in an exorcist, or animal control!”

 

“You do that, Emma.” He picked up the bottle of syrup and squirted a generous amount on the plate of pancakes. “Just remember anything you do to this house, you only get to do to half of it.” He smirked then grabbed a pancake from the plate. “Caveman, hungry. Eat!” he said, in his best Tarzan impersonation. He moved to shove the whole thing in his mouth, but then changed course at the last minute and smashed the pancake into her chest, smearing syrup all over her halter top.

 

“You are going to pay for that,” she said between clenched teeth.

 

“Princess, stuck living in this house with you, I already am.”

Dating a Cougar by Donna McDonald

10783094Dating a Cougar by Donna McDonald

Release: Mar 10, 2011

Source: I purchased this book

Blurb: After several decades of looking for true love and never finding it, aging model and lingerie designer, Alexa Ranger, has finally given up the search. A couple years ago, she got tired of the game completely and just stopped dating. Now friends and family keep her mostly content, so it’s shocking at 50 yrs old to find herself suddenly wanting a sex life again. It’s even more shocking to be attracted to a much younger man this time. She definitely thinks Casey Carter is sexy, but not handling her own age well, Alexa just can’t get passed their twelve year age difference to even consider a fling. Not that it matters anyway, anything resembling a normal dating relationship is totally out of the question because Casey is related to and living with her daughter’s boyfriend. The very last thing Alexa needs is yet another talk-show worthy drama in her already complicated life, no matter how amazing Casey’s kisses make her feel. For a couple of years, 38 yr old, medically retired Marine, Casey Carter, believed his military injury had made him impotent. Having lost his wife to cancer, he hadn’t exactly been worried about the problem. Most days walking with cane was enough challenge for him. But now that he was ready to move on with his life, he had become more worried when none of the females his cousin brought around held any interest for him. So the last woman in the world he expected to start his engine revving again was the mother of his cousin’s girlfriend. Even at fifty, Alexa is drop-dead gorgeous, and his libido certainly keeps reminding him she is the first woman he has wanted in a long, long time. Ironically, the more Casey gets to know and like Alexa, he finds out desiring the older woman is the easiest part. Jaded and cynical about love, Alexa is a difficult woman to convince of anything, but her kisses are all the proof he needs that they belong together. The former Marine decides his next mission is figuring out how to fit himself into her life.

Why you want to read this book:

I honestly picked up the book as it was free and looked cute. This is a great, fun-loving read. This is a positive view of a relationship between a younger man and an older woman.
