ResistingtheHeroResisting the Hero by Cindi Madsen

Resisting her brotherโ€™s best friend is futileโ€ฆ

Faith Fitzpatrick isnโ€™t looking for a hero. Burned one too many times in the past, sheโ€™s now sworn them off completely. And when her brotherโ€™s best friend, Connor, convinces him to join the dangerous SWAT team, Faith has never been more anti-hero. Whatโ€™s wrong with having a safe job? Thereโ€™s nothing safe about Connor. Confident, sexy, and sporting a six-pack that should be illegal, heโ€™s everything she doesnโ€™t want.

When his best friendโ€™s sister moves to town, local cop Connor Maguire knows heโ€™s in trouble. Faith is feisty, funny, and talks trash like nobodyโ€™s business. Sheโ€™s also his partnerโ€™s sisterโ€”and so totally off limits. Working on the Fall Festival together, they agree to a truce and become friends. But the more time Connor spends with Faith, the more heโ€™s willing to risk the wrath of her brother. If he could only convince her to take a risk on him, too.

FallingForHerSoldierFalling for her Soldier by Ophelia London

She fell for the nice guy, but will she fall for the real guy?

Ex-ballerina Ellie Bell has twenty-four days left until her self-imposed man-less year is up. No more falling for the wrong kind of guyโ€”charming, sexy, bad. Why canโ€™t she find someone sweet like Charlie Johansson, her soldier pen pal? His e-mails meant the world to her, and she canโ€™t stop thinking about himโ€ฆuntil she meets Hunter, whose muscles and cocky smile threaten to have her relapsing.

Before Charlie โ€œBig Game Hunterโ€ Johanssonโ€™s last tour of duty, heโ€™d gone through women like crazy. But after connecting on a real, emotional level via letters with his best friendโ€™s sister, Charlieโ€™s ready for a relationshipโ€”with Ellie Bell. But then her brother introduces him as Hunter. Proving heโ€™s no longer a player by becoming Ellieโ€™s dance partner for an Army benefit seems like it could convince both siblings heโ€™s changed, but the harder he falls for Ellie, the harder it is to come clean. Can he convince her to fall for the real him before itโ€™s too late?

LoveSongsLove Songs for the Road by Farrah Taylor

A rock star. The nanny. A love that could rock their world.

The only thing rock star Marcus Troy loves more than making music is his kids. So finding just the right nanny to take on tour with them is importantโ€”as is proving to his ex he deserves joint custody. Falling for his employee wouldnโ€™t just be fodder for the paparazzi: it could ruin everything.

Too bad the perfect nanny turns out to be beautiful, vibrant Ryan Evans. Ryanโ€™s never left her small Montana town before, so she jumps at the chance to see the country. And as much as accidental fame doesnโ€™t gel with shy Ryan, what does is her relationship with her capricious, smoking-hot, shockingly good dad of a boss. Marcus is nothing like what she expected. But when the whole worldโ€™s watching them, will life in the spotlight be too hot to handle?

FallingForHerFiance_cover_FINAL-500Falling For Her Fiancรฉ by Cindi Madsen

Whatโ€™s a little fake engagement between best friends?

Danielle and Wes have been best friends since college, so when Wes needs a date for his sisterโ€™s wedding and Dani needs a partner for her companyโ€™s retreat, they devise the perfect plan: a fake engagement to get through both events unscathed.

Adrenaline-junkie Wes can prove to both his ex and his family that heโ€™s well and truly moved on, and serious-minded Dani can prove to her boss that sheโ€™s worthy of the promotion he seems to only want to give to a family-oriented employee.

But amid the fake swoons, fake kisses, and forced proximity, neither expects the very real feelings that develop. Thereโ€™s nothing more dangerous than falling for your best friendโ€ฆbut what if the landing is worth the fall?

playingatlovePlaying at Love by Ophelia London

When itโ€™s glee vs. gridiron, can love level the playing field?

Show choir teacher Tess Johansson loves three things: music, her job, and sharing that passion with her students. But when a school budget crisis forces funding to be pulled from either the sports or music programs, she finds herself going head to head with Jack, the gorgeous new football coach who broke her heart fifteen years ago.

Jack Marshall wants two things: to be closer to his young daughter and to make his mark as a football coach. Taking the new job, with the promise that heโ€™d have time to build a solid team, gave him both. But now he must win the season with a group of boys who arenโ€™t anywhere near ready or heโ€™ll lose everything heโ€™s worked so hard for. Being pitted against Tess, the summer love he never forgot, is like being fourth and long with only seconds on the clock.

On opposing sides of a fierce battle and with everything at stake, Tess and Jack find themselves torn between doing what it takes to win and doing what it takes to be together.

About Cindi

Cindi Madsen sits at her computer every chance she gets, plotting revising, and falling in love with her characters. Sometimes it makes her a crazy person. Without it, sheโ€™d be even crazier. She has way too many shoes, but can always find a reason to buy a new pretty pair, especially if theyโ€™re sparkly, colorful, or super tall. She loves music, dancing, and wishes summer lasted all year long. She lives in Colorado (where summer is most definitely NOT all year long) with her husband and three children. She is the author of YA novels All the Broken Pieces and Demons of the Sun, adult contemporary romancesย Falling for Her Fiancรฉ andย Act Like You love Me,ย and the women’s fiction novel Cinderella Screwed Me Over.

About Ophelia London

Ophelia London was born and raised among the redwood trees in beautiful northern California. Once she was fully educated, she decided to settle in Florida, but her car broke down in Texas and she’s lived in Dallas ever since. A cupcake and treadmill aficionado (obviously those things are connected), she spends her time watching arthouse movies and impossibly trashy TV, while living vicariously through the characters in the books she writes. Ophelia is the author of DEFINITELY, MAYBE IN LOVE, ABBY ROAD, and the Perfect Kisses series including: PLAYING AT LOVE, SPEAKING OF LOVE, and FALLING FOR HER SOLDIER (Jan 2014). Visit her at http://ophelialondon.com. But don’t call when The Vampire Diaries is on.

Book Review, Cindi Madsen, Falling for Her Fiance

cover26704-medium

Faced with going to her family-oriented company retreat solo, Dani makes a bold decision and asks her best friend Wes to go as her pretend fiance. ย Sheโ€™s up for a promotion and she wants to make a good impression but it seems that only couples get time with the boss at these events. ย Wes agrees but only if she will do the same at his sisterโ€™s wedding. ย He wants to show his family and his ex, who will be a bridesmaid in the wedding, that heโ€™s really over her. ย Best friends since they met in college, there hasnโ€™t ever been anything romantic between Dani and Wes โ€ฆ but pretending to be engaged brings out feelings neither of them anticipated. ย Will their pretense turn real or will this ruin their friendship forever?

Dani and Wes mean everything to each other. ย They turn to the other first in good times and bad. ย They share a sense of humor and understand each other. ย They have private jokes and can complete each otherโ€™s sentences. ย It isnโ€™t a surprise that everyone thinks there is more to their relationship than friendship. ย Especially their significant others โ€“ their friendship is a major trouble point in their romantic relationships and has led to more than one breakup โ€“ but they have never been more than friends. ย They tried it once in college and it didnโ€™t work. ย It even ruined their friendship for a while and they donโ€™t want to chance that again. ย But the more time they spend together the harder it is to not want more. ย Both characters are fun and it is easy to imagine what a fantastic friendship they have, and why they might not want to risk it. ย Itโ€™s a believable and understandable problem, one that many of us have probably faced.

Inย Falling for Her Fiance, Madsen does a fantastic job of bringing readers appealing characters with a realistic issue. ย She gives us two people with the challenge of risking a relationship that is extremely important to them on the chance that it could be so much more.
