Who loves a Grinchy Santa?

by Book Release

There’s something about the grinch trope I love. Combine that with playing Santa and it’s “Christmas magic” on the page! Readers seem to agree after checking out my newest release, Sexted By Santa.

Amazon readers say:
“Hallmark couldn’t have created a better holiday story. Absolutely delightful, fun, and with enough sizzle to melt the most frozen of hearts! Truly magical!”

“I loved this story with its themes of found family, age gap romance, and a grumpy reluctant Christmas-loathing grinch who needs to let go of the past and embrace the joy being offered him — a great reminder to all, at Christmas or anytime.”

“This book made me smile, over and over again!”

Have you checked out this holiday read yet? Here’s the book blurb:

Christian Kringle: College professor, reluctant Santa, and…fake dating my neighbor?

I’m a grinch and proud of it–but this year, there’s no avoiding the Christmas cheer.

First, I get roped into playing Santa. Shudder. Then, while trying to dodge a setup with my boss’s brother, I somehow promise to attend a holiday party with my boyfriend–who doesn’t exist.

Next thing I know, my (soon-to-be former) best friend has set up a profile on a hookup app to find me a date. With the username of….wait for it…SantaWantsYourChimney.

Go ahead and laugh. He sure did, the traitor.

Before I can delete the profile, I match with an easygoing guy with amazing photos. His teasing about Santa kink makes me laugh, and blush, and feel things I haven’t since my divorce. For the first time in years, I look forward to dating.

Until we meet, and he turns out to be my neighbor. My very young, very off-limits neighbor who I’ve clashed with for years. Only now I know just how sexy, charming, and sweetly devoted to his daughter he is.

I should walk away, but I still need that fake boyfriend. The only problem? Jaxson’s so convincing I can’t tell where the pretense ends and real feelings begin.

Falling for him is easy. Loving his daughter? Effortless. Trusting that I can keep them is the hard part.

It’ll take the magic of love, family, and yes–even Christmas–to teach this old grinch new tricks.

Sexted By Santa is a standalone holiday romance set in the Thrust Into Love universe.

Fun new series

by Book newsUncategorized

I am so excited to be finished drafting Book 1 of my new series that revolves around star-crossed app hookups, Thrust Into Love. In my first book, Swiped By My Dad’s Best Friend, Trace is horrified to discover his app hookup is actually his best friend’s son! 

I am having tons of fun with this concept. I’ve already got plans for Book 2, Matched By My Rival. So, if you love enemies to lovers themes, you’ll want to stay tuned for more about that one!

I plan to write three books in this series, which is a spin-off from the Love Notes series. Though you won’t need to read Love Notes, the series kicks off with Cooper, a frat boy who has appeared briefly in the earlier books. Thrust Into Love is also set in the same college town.

Like Love Notes, I want these books to be fun, sexy, and swoony romances! Book 1 has a lot of steamy scenes–it’s definitely going to competing with Nobody’s Groom and Rapid Response for the “sexiest romance by DJ” award! But as usual, I think the emotional connection between these two characters will come shining through. This will also be my first foray into Daddy kink. It’s been a lot of fun to explore a new trope, and I really think you’ll love Cooper and Trace, so I hope you’ll give it a try!

Swiped By My Dad’s Best Friend should be releasing May 20. I hope to release Matched By My Rival sometime in June, and Clicked By My Roommate in August or September.

Boyfriend Freeze is here!

by Book newsBook Release

Boyfriend Freeze, the third installment in the Love Notes college romance series, is bigger and better than ever as it comes to Amazon.

Ollie and Graham will have you laughing and swooning through snarky banter, dangerous flirting, and sweet love notes!

Grab it now on Amazon!

Yes, it’s gotten bigger!

After initially writing Ollie’s story for a Winter Wonderland promotion, I’ve expanded it by more than 20,000 words to add Graham’s POV, new scenes, and a steamy epilogue! The story is more developed and well-rounded with its new content.

Boyfriend Freeze follows Naughty and Nice in the Love Notes series. Ollie even appears briefly in Chapter One of that book, a hookup who’s bitter that Jonas wants to call it quits.

Ollie is an impulsive freshman who acts first and thinks later—until he crosses a line and realizes it’s time for a change.

And who better to help him move on, but the sweet guy with the worst fashion sense that Ollie’s ever met?

Dear Graham,

After crossing too many lines for my self-respect, I made a promise to myself: no hookups, no sexts, no dating. For sixty days.

But I didn’t count on meeting you.

Who knew a smart, cardigan-wearing geek would be such temptation? You’re all wrong for me, except you’re also kind of exactly right.

So how do I keep my promise not to seduce the cute librarian and still get the perfect guy?

Maybe you know, because I don’t…

Already yours,
Ollie

Jonas & Quinn come to life on audio!

Naughty & Nice is now available on Amazon and Audible in audiobook form! The phenomenal Darcy Stark has narrated both books of the Love Notes series, which also includes Secret Admirer. For a steamy peek, see the link after the blurb.

Why can’t I forget your kiss…. 

Dear Quinn, 

Why must I have these feelings for you? You’re my ex-stepbrother, and nothing will change that truth, no matter how many letters I write.  

I never expected to see you again – or to rescue you from the side of the road in a blizzard. I didn’t think you would ever like me, much less kiss me in a steaming hot tub on a snowy night. It seems we make better lovers than brothers, which is all kinds of naughty and nice while we’re snowed in together. 

But can this new intimacy last when the skies clear and my family finally arrives for the holidays, or are we just two guys in a mountain cabin with a great view of everything we want but can’t have? 

Hopelessly yours, 

Jonas

Be warned: steamy peek just a click away!

Naughty or nice, I have a new release for you!

by Book newsBook Release

Naughty & Nice is a college romance with forbidden love and sweet holiday moments. Because why not?

It’s that time of year again, when an avalanche of holiday romance slides into the M/M genre–and how great is that? We could all use a little extra comfort in 2020, yes?

Naughty & Nice is my contribution to the holiday romance cheer, featuring Jonas of Secret Admirer and his former stepbrother, Quinn. Jonas comes off as a bit of player in Secret Admirer–but in this new romance you’ll see the depth of Jonas’s feelings for Quinn and his struggle with pining for someone he believes he can’t have.

A blizzard that snows him in at the family cabin with the guy he thought he’d never see again gives Jonas another shot at love with Quinn, but he’s afraid to trust it as more than a holiday fling.

As is usually par for the course, he has no idea how Quinn sees him: as gorgeous, smart, and confident. Quinn has had his struggles: from grief over the death of his father as a teen to dropping out of college and following the wrong guy across the country. Jonas looks like someone who has it all together, the golden boy with no problems.

I love pairing these two together and showing them how they can enrich and enhance one another’s lives! And of course, even though it’s a steamy college romance with a bit of fun stepbrother taboo, it’s a holiday story too. There are Christmas tree decorations, holiday movie binging, Christmas Eve traditions, and family gatherings to give you all the warmth you’ll need this year.

I hope you enjoy Jonas and Quinn as much as I do! I’ll leave it up to you to decide who’s naughty and who’s nice 😉

Enjoy the read–and I wish you all happy holidays in a highly unconventional season.

Faking A Groom is finally here!

by Book newsBook Release

Faking A Groom, featuring Rory and Avery, is live on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited! I’m especially excited about this book because it’s been such a journey for me.

I originally planned for this book to come second in the Marital Bliss series. I tried to start it in June 2019, but I couldn’t get a handle on a story idea that fit with the character, Rory. I wrestled with it for a month or two before ultimately going on to write Wrangling A Groom instead. That book was no picnic, either, though I did love the final version.

I was suffering from a mix of burnout and analysis paralysis.

Surprise Groom was loved by readers, and I was over the moon. But that kind of success piles on the pressure. Could I repeat that performance? Were my new ideas just as original, plot-driven, and well-executed? The doubts plagued me until I froze up, barely able to write.

Eventually, I broke out of that with other projects. I wrote Nobody’s Groom, a sexy novella that was mostly just fun for me. I wrote Five Fake Dates and Secret Admirer, a couple fluffy, sweet reads.

Then I buckled in and finally worked out a plot and storyline for Faking A Groom. I’m really proud of how it turned out. I think it’s a book with a complex plot, genuine characters, and an emotional storyline. It’s a story about passion *and* compassion, about love and acceptance. It has a lot of interesting themes to explore: toxic masculinity, equality challenges, light lingerie kink/femme clothes desires, and coming out while in the spotlight. It’s a story about self-acceptance, as well as finding love, and how the two sometimes intertwine in the right circumstances.

Rory and Avery just might be my favorite couple yet. The way they work together, love together, and fight to be together makes them more than worthy of their HEA.

You can find the book on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. Plans are under way to produce it in audio this winter.

Secret Admirer now on audio

by audio

Secret Admirer, a sweet brother’s best friend romance, is now available in audiobook format.

Darcy Stark narrates the story of Benji, a shy and insecure freshman who gets stood up for a date, and Ace, his brother’s best friend who feels protective of him. Ace wants to cheer Benji up, see him smile again, but he’s also harboring some confusing feelings about the cute redhead–which leads to a sweet romance of anonymous love notes and gifts.

Darcy Stark has a nice touch for sweeter-side romances, and he does a great job with new adult voices, so he was a perfect choice for this book.

Secret Admirer ranked in the Top 5 in the gay romance genre on Amazon and held the No. 1 spot for bisexual romance during its release month. The book plays with tropes such as brother’s best friend, secret love notes, frat boy/virgin, and bisexual awakening.
