Our audiobook this week is Step-Scandal by K Webster I’m a lawless bad boy with a dark secret. My heart belongs to a girl I can never have. She’s beautiful and perfect. A cop’s daughter. Pageant princess. On top of it all, she’s my best friend. I wish I were worthy of someone like her, but the real reason I can’t have her goes beyond all that. She’s my sister.| Step if you want to get technical. Loving her like I do is wrong. If anyone finds out, it’s a scandal my family won’t survive. I’m known in this town for breaking all the rules… But if I break this one, I’ll break everything. Our family. Myself. Her. That’s one thing I could never forgive myself for—something I refuse to do. My heart, though, has plans of its own.

Our audiobook teaser this week is Wicked Embrace by Olivia Boothe Narrated by Tim Paige & Kelsey Navarro I wanted one thing—to never fall in love again. But the universe had other plans. One look into Tom Wright’s olive-green eyes, and I free-fell crazy in love with the one man destined to break my heart. I know, because I’ve yet to learn my lesson. The past never dies, and mine is ready to rear its ugly head. Question is, will I be strong enough to survive the fallout? She wasn’t supposed to happen. I’d vowed to never let anyone in, but with one curve of her lips, Sara Hart bulldozed through my heart. I’m happier than I’ve ever been yet scared as hell of how much I love her. Despite my best intentions, I haven’t been one-hundred percent honest. My biggest torment still lurks within, threatening to unwind the strings holding us together. And if I lose her now, it might as well be the end of me.

Our audiobook tease this week is HARD TO HOLD by K. Bromberg Narrated by Shane East & Vanessa Edwin New York Times bestselling author, K. Bromberg, is back with a heartfelt, standalone romance and a new hero to steal your heart . . . The contract with Major League Soccer was supposed to help repair my damaged reputation. Then I discovered that I’d made a deal with the devil: the player I’m supposed to recruit is none other than the bad boy, star Premier League footballer, Rush McKenzie. British. Tattooed. Sexy. A man currently at the center of a huge scandal. The goal? To convince him to stay in the States. But what’s wrong with a little fun in the meantime? No strings. No sweet nothings. Just a way to pass the time while we’re both struggling to prove our true selves to the world. If someone found out our relationship was anything more than professional, it would only serve to prove all our critics right. *** I never should have agreed to take the fall. But I did and I’m a man of my word. Even if it means risking everything I’ve worked for. The only bright side is Lennox Kincade. Gorgeous. Defiant. Rumor-tainted. Totally off-limits. Sharing a house with the gorgeous sports agent should have been a fun distraction from the turmoil. Someone to help pass the time while the tensions back home die down. But what started as nothing, ends up as something I never saw coming.

Our audiobook tease this week is Because You’re Mine by Claire Contreras! When my sister asked me to take a course for her while she went out of town for work, I reluctantly agreed. I wasn’t expecting to step into a university auditorium filled with overactive libidos lusting after the professor. And I certainly wasn’t expecting to become one of those women myself, but there’s something about Lorenzo Costello that makes him irresistible. He’s the kind of man mothers warn their daughters about – mysterious, gorgeous, experienced, wild – and for some crazy reason he wants me. I should run far away and save myself from the impending heartache. So why am I racing toward him? I’m totally going to get burned. A man like Lorenzo won’t leave me unscathed. He’ll make ashes of me. Because You’re Mine is NOT a dark romance! It’s sexy and will keep you listening.  Amazon KU: https://amzn.to/3lXvCnS Audio: https://amzn.to/3gshylp RMR Website: https://bit.ly/3ifFIyw Weekly New Release: https://bit.ly/30iDete Follow Read Me Romance on Instagram: https://geni.us/uUVdVeY Join Read Me Romance Headquarters on FB: https://geni.us/IdL7B Find Alexa Riley on Instagram: https://bit.ly/2HGrxpQ Read Me Romance Theme Song by L.B.

Our audiobook tease this week is The Girl He Used to Know by Tracey Garvis Graves! New York Times bestselling author of On the Island, Tracey Garvis Graves, presents the compelling, hopelessly romantic novel of unconditional love. Annika Rose is an English major at the University of Illinois. Anxious in social situations where she finds most people's behavior confusing, she'd rather be surrounded by the order and discipline of books or the quiet solitude of playing chess. Jonathan Hoffman joined the chess club and lost his first game—and his heart—to the shy and awkward, yet brilliant and beautiful Annika. He admires her ability to be true to herself, quirks and all, and accepts the challenges involved in pursuing a relationship with her. Jonathan and Annika bring out the best in each other, finding the confidence and courage within themselves to plan a future together. What follows is a tumultuous yet tender love affair that withstands everything except the unforeseen tragedy that forces them apart, shattering their connection and leaving them to navigate their lives alone. Now, a decade later, fate reunites Annika and Jonathan in Chicago. She's living the life she wanted as a librarian. He's a Wall Street whiz, recovering from a divorce and seeking a fresh start. The attraction and strong feelings they once shared are instantly rekindled, but until they confront the fears and anxieties that drove them apart, their second chance will end before it truly begins.
