It’s all about wrong numbers for this April Fool’s tale

premiere small Its all about wrong numbers for this April Fools tale

An April Fool’s Forbidden Affair, by Sabrina Jeffries, is an affectionate tale that will sweep you off your feet. When Mason Brandt, Earl of Westville is having difficulties being around his late wife’s youngest sister, Miss Augusta Hunt, things begin to get strange. Augusta’s brother gets involved in a scheme that nearly ruins the family name and reputation by placing a false add in the paper. One that will surely cause more harm that good if he’s caught. And his reasons for doing so will tug at your heart.

Unfortunately that isn’t the only reputation about to be ruined should Mason show any feelings towards Augusta. What would happen to her if anyone discovered a deepening friendship between them? To show affection towards a sister-in-law, even if the “sister” is now deceased is not an approved relationship. What will happen when they fully realize their feelings?

I love reading Sabrina’s books as they always have fabulous characters, fun and exciting plots and well that yummy connection we love in her stories. I received an ARC of Premiere: A Collection of Romantic Tales, for a fair and honest review but would definitely purchase this as a gift!

Sabrina Jeffries is the NYT bestselling author of 38 novels and 9 works of short fiction (some written under the pseudonyms Deborah Martin and Deborah Nicholas). Whatever time not spent writing in a coffee-fueled haze of dreams and madness is spent traveling with her husband and adult autistic son or indulging in one of her passions—jigsaw puzzles, chocolate, and music. With over 7 million books in print in 18 different languages, the North Carolina author never regrets tossing aside a budding career in academics for the sheer joy of writing fun fiction, and hopes that one day a book of hers will end up saving the world.

She always dreams big.

The Poet, by T.L. Costa, is a sweet and tender tale of young love. Thomas Wyatt Hershowitz discovers he’s named after a dead poet. Now in high school he’s a football player and completely tongue tied whenever he sees Hannah Smith. Unable to utter any words or sounds he always clams up when he is near her.

When Hannah slips him a note one day in class and asks him to text her their homework assignment he should be able to do that, text her the assignment. Unfortunately instead of sending her the homework assignment he sends her something else and panics. What will she do when she reads the text? Is there a way to retrieve it? Fearing that he’s just made an even bigger mess, he must confess to her brother what he’s done and pray it doesn’t come between their friendship.

I loved this tale and how it portrays high school and friendships. Sometimes it’s those memories that make us want to dive into these books and get lost for days!

A Right and Honorable Gentleman, by Courtney Milan, is sexy, exciting and filled with lots of passion! Catherine Hooks is a Governess for The Right Honorable Mr. Edward Glennon, and is caring for his son. When his son, who is her student, is ready to leave for boarding school she will no longer have need to be at his home. She should be relieved to no longer deal with a man who prefers to use his temper to intimidate his employees. Yet, there is something that tugs at her when she approaches him even when he is in a foul mood.

Unfortunately, most of his employees and those who know him perceive him to be an uncaring, stern and stubborn man. Is Edward really the villain he’s appears to be, or is there more to the taunting and testing that has happened between them? What will happen if she admits her feelings? Is there a chance he might actually reciprocate?

The tension between them is electrifying and the banter is superb. There is only one way for Cat to handle Edward and she’s not sure she can go through with it. Can she live with her choice? Her deception is driving him crazy as he’s not used to a woman, especially one that works for him, showing him the error of his ways.

I absolutely enjoy reading Courtney’s books and if you enjoyed this, rest assured there are plenty more stories to keep you entertained!

%name **Spicy Latte** Post for a few tales that are sure to warm you up! Flying in the Face of Convention by Lex Valentine is a steamy M/M story about a college crush re-connected in the most unexpected place. Trey Beaumant assumed that he’d never see Jordan Smithson when he graduatied from the University of Washington. Both men played on the same football team and never said a word about their sexual preferences. Trey had always hoped, but wasn’t sure. So when fate tempts him with a second wedding invitation, addressed to Jordon, for the same friend’s wedding in his mailbox, he must now face his past.

When did Jordan move into his building? What were the odds they would end up on the same floor? Was he married, single or in a relationship? There was only one way to find out and it starts by knocking on Jordan’s apartment door. What happens when they stand face to face and recognize each other is unexpected. Their responses are exciting and heated as they discover the truth about their sexual preference.

This is the first time I have read a story from Lex Valentine and thought her writing was passionate and her characters believable. It’s always refreshing to read a new author and if this genre is what you are looking for then you won’t be disappointed.

%name **Spicy Latte** Post for a few tales that are sure to warm you up!The Fallout by Harper St. George refreshing, sexy and loveable story of two misunderstood young adults. For four years, Elena Black has had radio silence from her husband, Dexter Thomas Harrington. A man born into wealth and groomed for success. When his lawyer visits Elena at her lab in college, he catches her unawares. Divorce? Now?

When she refuses to just read and sign the contract the lawyer is a bit flustered. Elena decides she must read it and tells the pushy man, no! Forgetting she’s supposed to be going out on a date she backs out of it when he picks her up. After he insists on driving her home he’s not completely convinced and when he notices Dex standing across the street both of them are now in for a surprise.

No one knows she’s married and his presence immediately stirs up old feelings. Something is up and she needs to figure out what. When she can’t find her house keys and his still work, she knows she has to finally tell him the truth. What will he do?

Harper St. George delivers a fantastic contemporary romance tale about a relationship built on love before these young lovers know who they are. I loved her characters and found the story believable and refreshing. I am disappointed that it ended as I want to see more! It’s always refreshing to read a story by an author I have not read before. I’m especially excited because she normally writes historical romance fiction, but for this collection she wrote a contemporary tale.  Super happy that she did! Now go onto Amazon and see what other tasty stories she’s got – it looks like there are plenty!
