Boone Brux, Properly Groomed, Wedding Favors series

Today’s post is actually a two-parter … we’re starting with one of my favorite authors – Boone Brux.  I’ve seen bits and pieces of her newest and it looks like it is going to be a hoot and a half!  We actually saw the first in this series (although I somehow missed book 2) so I’m excited to have her books back again.

Later this morning we’ll get to see Dear Jane, so make sure you come back by!

Wedding Favors #3

by Boone Brux

Releasing January 9, 2017

Entangled Lovestruck

Blurb:

Playing house just got real…

When Joya Bennett wakes up after her brother’s wedding, half-naked and lying next to her lifelong crush, she’s mortified. OMG, did she try to jump his bones? Worse, did she succeed? Intending to lay low and housesit for her brother until the embarrassment fades, she sneaks away before he wakes up.

What she didn’t plan on is having company.

Lincoln Fisher doesn’t do relationships, but if he did, his friend’s little sister would be the one to tie him down. Good thing Joya had one too many drinks during the reception or he’d have crossed a line. Her brother would kill him if he found out all the places Linc wanted to kiss the sexy, auburn-haired beauty.

And now they’re stuck in the same house. For two weeks.

She’s off-limits. And he needs to keep it that way, even if the heat building between them is hot enough to blow off the roof…

Each book in the Wedding Favors series is a stand-alone, full-length story that can be enjoyed out of order.

Book #1 Bridesmaid Blues
Book #2 Random Acts of Marriage
Book #3 Properly Groomed

Excerpt:

“Are you sure there isn’t somewhere else you can stay?” She paused, then added, “For everybody’s sake.”

He pivoted to face her, a lazy grin curling his mouth. “Is this about last night?”

“No.” It was totally about last night and whether she should be embarrassed or relieved. “Why would you think this was about last night? Nothing happened…right?”

“You don’t remember?”

Mortified, she shook her head.

He closed the distance between them to a couple of inches and stroked his finger along her jaw. “Now that’s a shame.”

All the saliva in her mouth dried up and her breath hovered in her throat as his azure gaze caressed her face. He smelled like an autumn harvest and minty toothpaste, with a dash of cinnamon thrown into the mix. If lust had a smell, it would be Lincoln.

Before she could reply, he turned toward the front door and walked inside, Chester trotting alongside him. Damn it, he’d breached her barricade with no more than a steamy look.

Boone Brux, Bridesmaid Blues, Wedding Favors series

I have to say that Entangled has some of the best authors in the business and Boone Brux’s latest is getting fantastic reviews.

*****

Bridesmaid BluesBridesmaid Blues

by Boone Brux

Publisher: Entangled Lovestruck

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Format: Kindle

Blurb:

A wedding. An ex. And a secret.

Maid-of-Honor Dani Brown can handle anything that comes her way when it comes to her best friend’s wedding. That is, until the bride asks for a huge favor-Dani needs to distract the best man, who happens to be Dani’s ex. The ex she has fantasized dismembering for a year now. The ex she’ll have to suck it up and play nice with if this wedding is to go off without a hitch.

Businessman Jamie Kingsland is back in Seattle for a wedding. There’s just one problem – the maid of honor wants him dead. Except she doesn’t. Even though he knows he broke her heart last year when things got too serious and he panicked and left, she’s being way too nice about it now. And it scares him.

Something is up with his favorite bridesmaid, and he’s determined to find out what…

Find it on Goodreads

Bridesmaid Blues is available for purchase at Amazon and B&N

Boone BruxAuthor Info:

Boone is a bestselling author in both fantasy and series romance. She began writing in an attempt to ward of the slow decomposition of her mind while being an at-home-mom of twin toddlers. It soon became clear that storytelling was her true calling.

Her books range from epic fantasy, full of hot heroes and demons, to humorous urban fantasy, where hockey moms are grim reapers and Greek gods live next door. Though she loves writing romance, Boone prefers stories where she gets to blow something up or kill somebody.

She calls Alaska home and lives there with her husband, daughters, rescue dog, Oreo, and Velma Underfoot, a black cat who rules the house.

Book Review, Boone Brux, Suddenly Beautiful

cover32265-mediumSuddenly Beautiful is so much fun!  It has a touch of paranormal flair but at its heart it’s just your everyday love story.  Nikki loves her boss, has for years, but he’s content to leave her in the assistant category of his life.  Then one drunken night he’s overpowered by his desire for her and crosses the line (granted he’s a demigod, son of Aphrodite, and he was drunk on Ambrosia, the elixir of the gods, that lowered his guard and released his secret wants.)  But Tor doesn’t have time for a personal life, especially with a demigoddess like Nikki, who doesn’t even know that she’s the daughter of Ares, so he just wants everything to go back the way it was.  Except now that his feelings for Nikki are out there, he can’t ignore them.

This was such a fast read – it took me just a few hours and I loved every minute of it.  Nikki is sassy, fun and quite a hoot once her demigoddess status is revealed.  She had a bad relationship with her mortal mother and has no idea who her father is.  She handles it well when she finds out that he’s actually a god – having a deadbeat dad is bad enough, but finding out he’s the god of war can’t be easy.

Tor is all macho male, with his own parental issues.  Unlike Nikki, he actually does know who his goddess mother is and is one of the few demigods who was actually raised by his god parent.  But that leaves him with his own troubles.  All he wants now is to lead a normal(ish) life and dating someone who can turn him to stone or give him a goat tail isn’t exactly part of that plan.  It is entertaining to see him struggle against his growing feelings but once Nikki is out of the business box he put her in and in his personal life, he’s a goner.  His dealing with his mom is a delight and I got a kick out watching his feathers get ruffled.

Suddenly Beautiful is the perfect choice for a funny, sweet, sexy beach read with just that touch of fantasy thrown in to keep your imagination hopping.  Kick back with a frosty beverage and allow Brux to sweep you into her entertaining world of gods, goddesses and their irreverent off-spring.

Boone Brux, Suddenly Beautiful

Another fun blog tour starts today for Boone Brux’s yummy looking paranormal romance, Suddenly Beautiful (ending July 5th with yours truly).  See below for all the details.  And be sure to check out their giveaway for a $25 Amazon gift card here.

*****

9781622661169_FC

Being the son of Aphrodite isn’t a walk in the clouds. Rebelling against his demi-god status, billionaire make-up mogul Toraos Stephanos fights to separate his personal life and the immortal world by swearing off demi-god girlfriends forever. Too bad his newest employee can’t take the hint.

Though Nikki secretly pines for her smoking hot boss, no way will she jeopardize her job and independence professing her love to a guy so clearly out of her league. Too bad that leaves her with only imagining him naked and thinking evil thoughts about the new girl.

After a single bottle of Ambrosia and one night of passion… Nikki finally thinks she has a chance with the man of her dreams. But the next morning, Tor pretends like nothing happened, leaving Nikki with an emerging drive for combat—after all, turns out she is the daughter of Ares and she’s about to make her mama proud.

All is fair in love and war… and Nikki’s not about to let anyone forget it.

Author Bio:

As a multi-published and an award winning author, Boone’s writing drips with experiences from real life.

Addicted to anything that might make a good story, she weaves tales that range from dark fantasy to humorous romance. Settled in the icy regions of Alaska with the love of her life and twin daughters, it’s not uncommon to find her tapping away on her iPad on a windy beach or the barren tundra.

Be warned, anyone and everything is fodder for one of Boone’s novels.
