Book SynopsisHot fling or real thing? There are no Big Easy answers in New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Erin Nicholas’s sultry series. As far as flings go, single dad Gabe Trahan is pretty sure that Addison Sloan is his best bet. Once a month, Addison comes to New Orleans and then…It. Is. On. Until Addison returns to New York, it’s just hot, happily-no-strings-attached sex. And beignets. And jazz. But lately for Gabe, it isn’t nearly enough. Sure, maybe Addison’s gotten a bit hooked on Gabe. After all, who can resist a guy who’s so sexy, so charming, and so…available? But maybe he’s too available for her right now. Addison’s just moved to New Orleans, and relationships are definitely off the table. Besides, guys always bail when they learn her secret: she’s a single mom. Only Gabe’s not running. Worse, he’s thrilled. But Addison never signed up for ever-after romance, and Gabe won’t settle for anything less. Now it’s a battle of wills—and when it comes to the woman he’s falling for, Gabe isn’t above playing a little dirty.Trade Review“This series debut from Nicholas provides equal parts sex and sweetness as Gabe and Addison succumb to their incredible chemistry while attempting to fit the puzzle pieces of their lives together. Rarely are characters who are parents featured in the genre; it is refreshing to see Gabe balancing the ups and downs of single fatherhood with a burgeoning romance…A deliciously erotic bayou love story that readers will savor.” —Library Journal “Nicholas pairs New Orleans native Gabe Trahan with New York restoration architect Addison Sloan in this clever, scorching contemporary…This mature, richly characterized story balances intense erotic desire with emotional growth and mutual support.” —Publishers Weekly “Sexy, charming, real and fun, Going Down Easy showcases why Nicholas is a bestselling author. If you are looking for real and touching and hot, this should definitely be your next read!” —Romantic Reads and Such “Going Down Easy, the first book Erin Nicholas’s new Boys of the Big Easy series, was fan-freaking-tastic. The chemistry, the friendship…It was all amazing, from Gabe and Addison’s romance to the friendship between their adorable children. One of the best elements of Going Down Easy was how well the characters complimented each other. Gabe and Addison’s parenting styles and how they view life are completely different. They each bring something to the relationship that the other needs. Gabe shows Addison that it’s okay to ask for help and that it’s fun to live life a little on the edge. Meanwhile, Addison teaches Gabe that a little bit more structure never hurts. They balance each other perfectly. Plus, their chemistry? Scorching hot!” —Crystal Blogs Books “Erin Nicholas is one of my favorite authors of contemporary romance. Going Down Easy is the first book of a new series set in New Orleans and is hot, hot, hot.” —Romancing the Book “I loved this amazing book and Gabe and Addison were such a great couple together!!! Gabe never planned to fall for Addison, she was just someone that he saw once a month until she moved to New Orleans for good. I loved Addison because she was a hardworking mom and never expected that she could have a happy ending with Gabe once he knew her secret. Going Down Easy was a sexy romance set in the Big Easy that will leave you wanting more from these wonderful characters.” —Moonlight Rendezvous

At twenty-six, he has retired from science to run a charter fishing business in Pensacola and spend his leisure time catching up on the debauchery he missed. But when the unattainable girl of his teenage fantasies moves in down the beach, old feelings come flooding back. Their scorching attraction soon leads them into bed—but what starts as no-strings-attached fun is complicated by a return to Morning Glory and the shadows of their shared past. Can the head cheerleader and the geek redefine themselves and forge ahead to find their happily ever after?Trade Review“Snappy dialog, realistic characters, and Southern charm will have readers rooting for the underdog in Talley’s sweet-and-sassy, feel-good romance.” Booklist “In this second Morning Glory novel, Talley has created two well-conceived characters, each with his or her own issues. The ongoing emotional conflict that barrages the two lovers is both sweet and frustrating but leads to a satisfactory conclusion. A sweet, grown-up romance with a delightful mashup of fun and dysfunction.” —Kirkus Reviews “Perfectly Charming is a standout contemporary romance. It’s an upbeat, unpredictable read with a sleek, intimate, intelligent narrative and a just-right tempo.” —USA Today/Happy Ever After “I enjoyed the attraction and chemistry between Ryan and Jess. It was nice to see them have their light bulb moments and get their acts together, separately and together.” —Smexy Books “I had wondered what would cause these two to examine their relationship and move past the easy and physical.

Book SynopsisNew York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Catherine Bybee delivers the fifth heartwarming, flirty novel in the wildly popular Not Quite series. Mary Kildare knows how to read people. It’s both why she makes a great therapist and why she refuses to trust the average bachelor. Staying fiercely independent has been her primary relationship strategy—until wealthy playboy pilot (and commitmentphobe) Glen Fairchild reappears in her life. After a yearlong teasing tug-of-war, Mary and Glen test the waters of attraction, only to find that their physical chemistry runs deeper than flirtation. At first, a bicoastal romance suits them both—especially since Glen can swoop in and whisk Mary away on one of his company’s planes. But no matter how close they get, they’re still three thousand miles apart. And when Mary’s life is threatened, Glen realizes the one luxury he doesn’t have is time. Can he close the distance between them before it’s too late?Trade Review“This novel flows extremely well and readers will find themselves consuming the witty dialogue and strong imagery in one sitting.” —RT Book Reviews “Mary and Glen are too sweet together. I love the lengths that Glen goes to to get his girl. Of course Mary has to make him work for it. Neither is perfect. But together they are. This was such a sweet love story. Really glad I picked this little gem up.” —Books-n-Kisses “Catherine Bybee brings readers a fun and flirty contemporary romance with a touch of mystery. I enjoy her fast-paced stories with humor, emotion, heat, and heart (her Weekday Brides series is one of my favorites and the first book in her new Most Likely To series has me salivating for more). The twists and turns the characters encounter on their way to a happy ending add an extra dimension to their story and I always enjoy a bit of intrigue in my romance. Another layer Bybee adds to her stories are the secondary relationships which help guide the story and give readers greater insight into the main characters.” —The Romance Dish, 4 stars “I love the way Catherine Bybee gives importance to the depth of relationships and the maturity of nurturing them with patience and love. She created Glen and Mary to perfection with their goodness, kindness and just two beautiful people who deserve to be together. Attention to details, the sequence of narration and the practical plot add more flavor and warmth to this fifth book in the Not Quite Series making it a brilliant read.” —Romancing Life “Glen was touted to be a playboy, but honestly, the Glen we see in this novel is anything but. He’s a gentleman and sweeps Mary off her feet in a way that was as sexy as it was sweet. I loved how he surrendered to his feelings, and I adored how he teased Mary. He was just such a wonderful guy, and again, I could see how he might’ve been a playboy in the past, but his focus on Mary was just right. He gave her enough space to be herself, but pushed her when he knew it would be better for her. He makes for a great book boyfriend.” —The Jeep Diva “Not Quite Perfect was a great read, the characters fully formed, the pacing spot on. That it kept my interest throughout says it all. I would definitely recommend and look forward to Ms. Bybee’s next book.” —Smitten by Books (4 stars) “Don’t let the title fool you. Not Quite Perfect was actually the perfect story to sweep you away and take you on a pleasant adventure. So sit back, relax, maybe pour a glass of wine, and let Catherine Bybee entertain you with Glen and Mary’s playful East Coast-West Coast romance. You won’t regret it for a moment.” —Harlequin Junkie (4.5 stars) “Sexy, sassy, and surprisingly suspenseful!” —What’s Better Than Books
