The Calendar Men series is a novella series that surrounds a fictional charity calendar. Each story reveals how the particular month's hot hero came to pose for the calendar. All the stories have a different couple, a different setting, and definitely on the steamy side.

February Lover is set in New Orleans. After 15 years military hero, Aidan Roux, finally comes home for a brief visit, but that visit is unexpectedly extended. While Aidan is in town for the entire month, he offers his ex a proposition.

“...we could be together for February. I can promise you it would be so hot you wouldn't regret it. Ever.”

February Lover is a second chance/reunion story. I loved that Aidan and Stacey have known each other since they were kids. There are some good reasons why Aidan wanted to stay away all these years. This novella is very short (about 50 pages). I was quickly immersed right from the beginning and wanted their story to keep going and going...

A Piece of Cake by T.M. Franklin ~ Release Day Blitz & Giveaway!

A Piece of Cake - a sweet romance by T.M. Franklin

"I loved this - and there's cake! What more could you want? :)" - Andrea on Goodreads 

Formerly published in the Romantic Interludes anthology. A Piece of Cake is now available for the first time as a stand-alone short story.

SUMMARY

Emily Valentine is a matchmaker who doesn’t believe in love.

Well, at least not the hearts and flowers, see-your-soulmate-across-a-crowded-room-and-the-world-stands-still kind of love. No, Emily is a pragmatist – a scientist – and she’s abandoned her family’s tradition of matchmaking based on instinct and uncanny intuition for a more scientific approach to pairing people up.

Emily believes love is more about compatibility and common interests than anything mystical.

But a run-of-the-mill job turns her world on end when swoony cake designer Sam Cavanaugh pops up as a potential match for her newest client. The attraction she feels for him throws a wrench in her plans, but she’s not going to succumb without a fight.

Emily is nothing if not practical. And reasonable. But she’s about to learn that sometimes the best things in life…are neither.

Author Bio

I’m a thirty-two-year-old self-proclaimed book nerd.  Married to for nearly eleven years, my husband and I enjoy spending time with our two lovely children.  Writing is a newly acquired fun hobby for me.  In the past, I’ve enjoyed the role as a reader.  However, recently, I learned that I absolutely love taking on the creative role as the writer.  Something about determining how the story will play out intrigues me to no end.  My husband claims that it’s because I like to control things—in a way, he’s right! 

By day, I run around from appointment to appointment, wearing many hats including, mom, wife, part-time graphic designer, blogger, networker, social media stalker, student, business owner, and book boyfriend hunter.  (It’s actually a thing—complete with pink camo.  I lurk around the internet, “researching” pictures of hot guys who fit the profile of whatever book boyfriend I’m reading or writing about). 

I guess you can blame my obsession with books on my lovely grandmother, who is quite possibly my favorite person on the planet.  At an early age, she took me to the half-priced bookstore each weekend and allowed me to choose a book.  Every single time, she caved when I begged for two.  Without her encouragement, I wouldn’t have been able to cope during some hard times without my beloved books. 

Currently, I am finishing up my college degree that has taken me forever to complete.  It’s just on the list of my many “bucket-list” goals that I subject myself to.

Most days, you can find me firmly planted in front of my computer.  It’s my life.  If the world ever loses power, I’d be one of the first to die—of boredom!  But I guess as long as I have books and a light, I might just survive.

Looking forward, you can expect to see two more novels in the Breaking the Rules Series.  I’m nearly finished with the third.  Also, I have a standalone novel that will be released soon as well. 

This writing experience has been a blast, and I’ve met some really fabulous people along the way.  I hope my readers enjoy reading my stories as much as I do writing them.  I look forward to connecting with you all!

Have I mentioned lately how in love I am with Kristen Ashley and her Amazing Alphas??!! OK, yeah, I know I say it EVERY DAMN TIME I meet a new KA family of characters, but they are just all so FUCKING AWESOME!!!

I have been a KA fan girl since I picked up The Gamble what now seems like forever ago. I then immediately devoured book after book and fell more in love with each story! Now, like any die hard KA fan I have my favorite stories and my favorite Alpha's but I love them all! Sometimes I feel like my reviews of her books are all just me gushing but seriously....I LOVE THEM!

Deck and Emme were no exception!! Jacob Decker is the most amazing Alpha, and add to that he is a genius, oh and don't even get me started on Emme. What an awesome chick. But them all the KA chicks are so cool. Chicks I wish were part of my very own girl posse!

Deck and Emme have known each other for years but lost touch when Emme's best friend dumped Deck and he moved on. They have now found their way back to each other and finally wised up, both of them, and realized they belong together. Now, like any good KA story there is a lot of love and delicious sex, but there is also a little mystery and suspense. She is a pro at rounding out a story and leaving you with a very satisfied sigh when you read that last sentence! I am not even going to go into the details of the story, you know it rocks so go grab it!!

 This was a kaleidoscope of beauty, the dials spinning, ever changing, but never anything short of spectacular

I have said it before, but Tiffany Reisz is goddess with a pen! With The Original Sinners series being one of my all time favorites she is an auto buy/read for me, well, because she just ROCKS IT!! That said, Misbehaving was no exception, different from her norm but great just the same!!! This was such a fun, sexy little that I read it in one sitting!!

This is a sweet little story of Bea and Ben and their second chance at love!

Bea is popular blogger who reviews sex toys and sex books for her blog, she basically gets paid to have orgasms, rough job huh?? Hell, sign me up! While heading off to her sisters wedding her boss asks her to review a book while she's away. Bea thinks no sweat until she realizes the book she grabbed to review is a sex position manual. So she needs to find herself a partner, and quick! Can't very well review a sex position manual by herself, now can she? :)

Ben is in town for his best buddy's wedding and knows he's bound to see 'her' again! Five years ago Ben let Bea walk away without even attempting to explore the amazing chemistry between them, all because of a promise he made his buddy. He is NOT going to let that happen again! When Bea approaches Ben to help her out with her book 'review' he pretty much jumps at the chance. Oh yeah, let the fun and sex begin!!

This was a great little romp with a lot of delicious sex, love, laughs and a really sweet HEA!!

Absolutely loved it!!
