Football pro Mick Riley is an all-star, both on the field and in the bedroom. But a sexy, determinedly single mom just might be the one to throw him off his game…

For years Mick has been taking full advantage of the life available to a pro athlete: fame, fortune, and a different girl in every city. But when he meets and beds confident, beautiful event planner Tara Lincoln, he wants much more than the typical one-night stand. Too bad Tara’s not interested in getting to know football’s most notorious playboy any better.

As the single mother of …

Guest post: Daddy’s girl by J.F. lewis

Today we’re very happy to welcome J.F. Lewis on Book Lovers Inc.  Crossed, the 3rd book in the Void City series, is being released TODAY!   He’s here today to tell us a bit more about Greta. In the previous books she wasn’t just a sidecharacter even though she didn’t take that much screentime. Today he will tell us some more about this bloodthirsty little girl and perhaps give us a glimpse of her in Crossed

I don’t know why, but when Caroline, here at Book Lovers, Inc. invited me to drop by and celebrate my book release with a guest spot, I got all gushy and felt the need to ramble on like some sort of twisted version of a proud dad about one of my favorites monsters. You see, one of the scariest lines of dialogue in my first novel (Staked) …

The Authors Strike Back (Part 3) with Jory Strong

Today Jory Strong took her chance to grill us about our preferences in setting heroes and heroines. Again not an easy topic but we were strong and didn’t even start a cat fight over the guys. That’s impossible self-control in action you see here. Be sure to tell us what you would have answered. 

Jory Strong: If you could step into any one book and live the story, which would it be and why?

Larissa – The Crazy Lover: argh! hmmm I think I’d like to live in Panem! Just kidding, argh I have to pass on this one =/

Caroline – The HEA Lover: Probably a romance with a HEA *g* I’d choose a story without too much drama. All I Ever Wanted by Kristan Higgins would be nice *g*

Melissa – The Spellbound Lover: Good question. I’d have to say the Harry Potter series. Who …

Putting Romance in Fantasy by Joely Sue Burkhart + Giveaway

Today Joely Sue Burkhart will take you away to the land of romantic fantasy. Grab a seat and hold your breath. Be sure to stay tuned till the end and you might win a wonderful special prize pack.

It’s sort of like walking along the top of a fence with vipers on one side and spiders on the other. Well, maybe that’s a bit extreme, but balancing fantasy and romance in a story can be difficult.

Some fantasy lovers despise the “gushy stuff” in their meaty worldbuilding.

Some romance lovers despise the “funky names” in their lovely emotional relationship.

Some readers won’t pick up a book that doesn’t have a detailed map on the inside cover.

Some readers will be furious if they finish a book and either the hero or heroine dies – which can be a common event in a …

The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?

So we 2 discovered something last week and yes yes we know that we really live under a rock and all. Did you know that certain audiobooks had different covers from the print books? WE didn’t! When Caro told me we could talk about that in our cover post I was like ‘yeah very different cover. We can talk about the different Unabridged fonts’.

But I’m now aware of the fact that she was right. And yes you are allowed to write that in your calendar.

Okay so here is what we found rather interesting:
