$25 Romance is in the Air Giveaway Featuring Author Laura Ann






Goldilock’s Misunderstood Billionaire by Laura Ann
She needs his help… He needs her.
Goldie Lockwood loves her job as the Art Department head at Middleton Prep Academy. She loves that her friends have all found true love. And she even loves living with her triplet brothers, despite the fact they’re way overprotective. What she doesn’t love, is Finley Gruffman. His practiced charm and flirtatious smile drive her crazy and she makes sure he knows it. Much to her dismay, she finds herself in a position where she needs his help.
When Finley Gruffman finds himself attracted to the tiny, blonde art teacher, he quickly discovers she’s got hidden claws and a sharp tongue. Riling her up becomes his favorite past time. However, when she approaches him about sponsoring an art fundraiser, he makes a deal with her. If she will pretend to be his girlfriend in order to keep his ex and the media at bay, he will provide the much needed funds for the exhibit.
When their feisty personalities clash, the line between enemies and lovers comes muddled. But Finley’s reputation as a heartless jerk isn’t completely unearned. Can he convince Goldie he isn’t the man everyone else thinks he is?





My cheeks hurt from smiling. Truth is, I stayed up all night reading it.
For sweet romance lovers with a little humor on the side this is the book for you.
This may be a clean, sweet read, but you’ll never miss the lack of sexual interaction with such a meaty book. I’d give this story more stars than five if I could!




Goldie spun and nearly fell over.
The man from earlier lunged forward, grabbing her around her elbows and helping keep her upright.
“Oh, thank you. That was incredibly helpful and an excellent reaction time.” Goldie stepped out of his hands, which seemed to linger on her arms until the very last second. Uh oh, maybe he didn’t quite get the message earlier.
Travis chuckled. “Anytime.” His eyes wandered up and down her, warming her but not in a good way. “You sure you don’t want to see my house? I’m thinking we could have a great time there.”
Red flags were waving like they were in a hurricane in her head. “Uh… “
He took her hesitation as an opportunity to step into her personal bubble and leaned down towards her face. “I’ve even got a hot tub out back.”
Goldie felt herself leaning back. “Thanks, but no thanks, Travis. Not really my thing.”
“I’ve got a theatre.”
“No.”
“Pool table?”
Seriously? Does he not get it? “No, thank you. I’m not-”
“Hey, hon. I’ve been looking for you everywhere.” A dark, gravelly voice came from Goldie’s right side just as a large arm slipped around her waist.
What the-? Every nerve ending stood on end as Finley put his arm around her. Goldie couldn’t seem to control the shiver that ran down her spine and the electricity that shot out from his hand. Turning sideways, she glared at him, only to be met with an amused smirk.
“Oh, I see. Well, you should have just said so,” Travis cleared his throat and stepped back.
“No.” Goldie’s tone was firm.
Both men froze and looked at her.
Stepping out of Finley’s reach she put her hands on her hips. “We,” she waved a finger between her and Finley, “are not together. And I don’t appreciate you making it seem that way.”
Finley’s expression went from shocked to thunderous in moments. His dark eyes looked like a tornado was brewing and Goldie knew it was time to get out.
She turned back away from Finley. “Travis, thank you for the invitation, but before we were interrupted, I was trying to tell you that I’m not interested. Thank you, anyway.” She turned back to Finley. “As for you, I thank you to keep your hands to yourself. I want no part of this little charade you’re trying to put on. Good night.” Spinning on her heel, she stomped to her car and carefully eased her way out of the busy driveway, leaving both men with their mouths hanging open.
Goldie couldn’t help it. As she watched the men get smaller in her rearview mirror, she couldn’t help but giggle. “Good thing I’ll never see either of those two again.”

$25 Romance is in the Air Giveaway Showcasing Author Kimberley Montpetit







Please note book is free today and tomorrow!



The Fiance’s Secret by Kimberley Montpetit
He’s a successful entrepreneur who almost has it all. She’s the long-ago crush—the girl who got away. When they meet again, fireworks explode once more. But will a buried secret steal their second chance at a happy ending?
Troy Thurlow let the girl of his dreams get away fourteen years ago, back when he was a high school football star. Now he’s a highly successful executive with a life most people only dream of. Still, he’s never stopped thinking about Jasmine, and wondering what would have happened if he’d ever had the courage to ask her on a date. When he meets her by chance on a New York business trip, he’s determined to take this second opportunity and run with it. That is, if his past doesn’t catch up with him first . . .
Jasmine Cervantes does “happily ever after” for a living, arranging dream-destination honeymoons for the fabulously rich and famous. But, so far, her own fairy-tale ending has eluded her. That is, until the boy she couldn’t stop dreaming about in high school barges unexpectedly into her office one day.
When the two start a whirlwind romance they begin to see that fate is giving them a helping hand. Until Jasmine ends up on Italy’s most romantic coast without him. Missing him desperately, she begins to believe that Troy is truly “the one.”
But he’s hiding something that could change everything . . .




“I have a confession to make,” she said, kicking up the sand with her toes.
“You—confessions?” Troy teased, but he seemed to tense as if unsure what she was about to tell him.
“I heard rumors that you were living out of the country. I figured I’d never see you again.”
“So why didn’t you come to our ten-year reunion?”
“I was on an important honeymoon trip right then. With Standing Ovation,” she quickly added with a laugh. “Not my own.”
Troy chuckled, but she thought she saw his jaw clench a little. “I figured that’s what you meant.”
“October in the South Pacific is very nice. That’s when the reunion was, right? At that point, the couple who wanted to honeymoon in Bali was our biggest client we’d ever had so I couldn’t tell my VP no.”
“I guess our lives weren’t meant to cross right then. Extended business trips that sometimes kept me away for a few months. Especially at the beginning of the founding of DREAMS. We were hustling like crazy. All of us keeping insane schedules.”
“That makes sense. Assumptions are often not true. Isn’t that human nature?”
They paused at the shoreline, warm waves tickling Jasmine’s ankles. She wrapped her other arm around Troy’s waist, snuggling into him tighter while he put his other arm around her, while they stood staring out at the Atlantic.
“You feel fantastic, Jasmine,” Troy whispered, brushing his lips against her hair.
“I was just thinking the same thing about you,” she whispered in return, her voice barely above the sound of the rushing ocean.
The water was black, but under the starlight, the waves were a soft, frothy white breaking along the shore.
Troy turned so that they faced each other, and Jasmine snuggled into his chest, his body warming hers in a perfect fit. She was dizzy with his closeness, longing for more.
“I can hear your heart pounding,” she told him, gazing up into his face.
“My heart’s going crazy because I’m overcome by the most beautiful woman in the world. If I go into cardiac arrest, just kiss me and I’ll come right back.”
“Like Sleeping Beauty kissing the prince instead of the other way around?”

$25 Romance is in the Air Giveaway from Taylor Hart

img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4020" src="https://www.cleanwholesomeromance.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Romance-taylor.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="300" />  
Movie Star Romances Billionaire Collection by Taylor Hart Enjoy the tough and tender ride of 3 Movie Stars and their journey to love. All of these movie stars are the kind of heroes the world craves and the kind of men that need a good woman to come home to. This collection is by best-selling author, Taylor Hart! Her Hollywood Fake Fiance Grant Kent, movie star extraordinaire, doesn't like the fact he has to have a fake 'media' relationship with his co-star to keep his movie producer's happy. And he really doesn't like the fact his brothers' give him grief about it. So when he's asked to help out at an acting camp for inner city kids, he jumps at the chance to do something real. Too bad the woman in charge tells him outright she thinks he's a hack. The talented Jewel Olympia only wants to help inner city kids by giving them an opportunity to learn acting skills. When she's notified the week before Christmas that the P.I. she's hired to track down her birth mother has a solid lead on her whereabouts, she decides it's time to finally meet the woman that abandoned her in a hospital emergency room twenty-five years ago. Too bad an amazing looking movie star keeps bugging her to go on a date--bug off, she's unavailable. But when her parents show up on her doorstep asking where she's going, she tries to distract them with Grant's star power to avoid hurting their feelings. When he blurts out he's her fiance, everything gets derailed and she finds herself on a jet to Jackson--this is not her life! When a simple trip turns into a media frenzy, they're left with a choice--trust in Christmas angels or lose everything. The Masquerading Groom When Sterling Pennington, movie star/billionaire extraordinaire, gets stuck with a paid date at a masquerade party…he’s not happy. Too bad his agent doesn’t want the press to think he’s lonely after the pretend break up with his latest co-star. The arrangement makes him feel like a loser, until he sees the woman in the sequined dress. Sayla Jones made it clear she would only take this date if the egocentric movie star knew he got three hours before she turned into a pumpkin. That’s all. She never imagined she might actually connect with him, or that he would kiss her. Good thing she slapped him for good measure. Sterling never expected to see Sayla again, and he really wasn’t expecting to find her at the hospital. The next thing he knows, he’s taking her home and spending the next four days cooking, listening to Neil diamond on a record player, and putting braids in her hair. His feelings intensify when he finds himself admitting out loud, she even looks cute while drooling in her sleep. What’s happening to him? When Sayla confesses she believes they are too different to make it work, Sterling is faced with a choice—fight for her or live alone in the world of masks forever. The Love Potion Groom B.C. Knight, A-List movie star, just wants to put up a front and get through his court-mandated stint in rehab then get back to L.A. The last thing he wants is to meet a beautiful, grief-stricken woman who sees right through him and makes him reconsider the direction of his life. When he takes a chance and kisses her, it’s like finding the role he’s been searching for all of his life. Too bad she slaps him! Kira Moonwater's life turns upside down when her Nana, the woman who raised her and taught her to follow her dreams, unexpectedly passes away. The only thing on her mind is trying to pick up the pieces of her life and decide if her 'saving the world' boyfriend is going to be part of her future. She tries to keep a professional distance in her new job at the posh 'movie star' rehab facility but it's harder than she expected. When she follows B.C. to a secret 'hot spring' grotto, both of their masks start to fall away and she discovers B.C. is much more than just a movie star.   One of the best/believable movie star books I've read. Real life with real issues and emotions. I could see a little of myself in them. Such a fun escape. Taylor Hart is one of my favorites! I love how these characters met, how their courtship went and how they could "see" each other. So sweet. This is a quick and easy read. I enjoyed the overall idea-it’s sort of a fairy tale type story where the uber rich and famous guy falls for the down on her luck, average girl.
