Birdie Yamamoto has lived in a fantasy world for as long as she can remember.
When she was a young child, she buried herself in comic books. As a teenager, she created stories of her own. Now she has her dream job, as a series writer for Suffra-Jette -- her very own comic.
Atticus Cohen has perfected the art of pretending to be someone he’s not.
The rising Hollywood actor lands the role of a lifetime – a lead in the latest big budget superhero movie: Suffra-Jette. The rigorous workouts, grueling schedule, and relentless press are all things he expects when he takes the job.
What he doesn’t expect is comic creator, Birdie Yamamoto, to have an opinion about everything he says or does.
When word spreads about the trouble on set, fans of the beloved comic begin to worry about the outcome of the movie.
Birdie and Atticus may not always be on the same page, but they both want the movie to succeed. So when Birdie’s best friend suggests they pretend to date to save the movie, they agree.
After all, it’s just a publicity stunt to spin the bad press.
When she's not writing, Dee can be found stalking The Royal Family, reading Marvel comics, or harassing her husband to reach something on the top shelf.

LB Dunbar never fails to remind me why romance is my favorite genre. Every story she writes is filled with love and emotion and a bit of heat. This one was no exception. I fell hard for these characters! Our heroine was a strong mama bear. And our hero was a mysterious grizzly bear, turned teddy bear by a couple of precious princesses. The interactions between him and those little girls were my favorite part. They made my heart melt and brought touching tears at time. The love part took a bit for our couple but the got over some obstacles and a beautiful steamy love story followed. The tease of the next has me dying for a story that we readers saw coming but need to see how it llays out.
The last thing any professional hockey player wants is to be the old man in the game. The guy who doesn't know when it's time to retire. Still, I can't bear the thought of leaving the game.
This past year I've reflected on all my regrets, and I told myself that once I retire it'll be the time to settle down and start a family. But this is where it gets tricky.
I think I've found her—my Mrs. Although she'll deny our connection to anyone who asks. We've been sleeping together casually and since I'm still playing hockey, I've let her get what she wants—me—whenever she wants.
After being told my career as a player is over, the owner of Florida Fury grants me a shot to stay in the game. A coaching position I didn't know I wanted until it was offered. The catch? He's also passing the family business down to his daughter.
Who's his daughter?
The woman who's been in and out of my bed for the past year. Which means the woman I intend to make my wife is now my new boss.

Losing my innocence at thirteen, in the most brutal way, changed me. My kidnapper stole my childhood and tried to break me. The knowledge my father orchestrated the entire situation hardened my heart, and instead of grieving his death, I celebrated it.
One down. Many more to go.
My burning need for revenge has only grown over the years, keeping me focused on my goals and enabling my rise to power.
Made men are weak. A pretty face and the promise of a good time easily distracts them.
Now, I’m in charge.
Men bow before me.
Except for him—the brother of my abductor. Massimo fights me every step of the way, but I’m not about to let the explosive chemistry between us deter me from my chosen path. His family is my enemy. He is my enemy, even if he doesn’t know it yet.
I won’t stop until all those who wronged me are punished.
By the time they realize I’m coming, it will be too late.
They tried to take everything from me.
But where they failed, I will succeed.
Unless he becomes my weakness.

Lust blazes in his eyes. “I will wait for you to come to me.”
“You’ll be waiting,” I blurt, irritated when amusement skates across his face. I hate how he can obviously tell it’s a lie. He can see I’m floundering. That his want is not one-sided.
“I have a hand, and my blue balls can be patient.” A teasing smile spreads across his mouth, and I’m ensnared. Massimo is truly beautiful, and I only hope I’m strong enough to resist. I already suspect I’m not. “To a point,” he whispers against my ear, sending warm shivers coursing along my flesh. I squirm on his lap, failing to ignore the hard, thick length pulsing underneath me.
Massimo groans, and his eyes darken with undeniable desire. “You were put on this earth to test me. I’m sure of it.”
I can’t smother my smile in time.
“One kiss,” he says, his eyes dropping to my mouth as his tongue darts out and he wets his lips. “Would you deny your husband a kiss on his wedding night?”
“I have kissed you today.”
He shakes his head as his fingers sweep back and forth across my mouth, making it harder and harder to resist temptation. “I have kissed you. You have gone along with it because it was expected.”
He’s as delusional as me if he truly believes that. I drive my hands into his hair without even thinking about it. “Will everything be a negotiation between us?”
His brows climb to his hairline and a devilish grin widens his lush mouth. “Do we know any other way to be?”
“One kiss. Just one kiss.” The words feel like lies as I spout them.
“That is all I am asking.” He closes his eyes, moaning softly as my fingers explore the thick strands of his black hair. “That feels so incredibly good.”
I brush my mouth against his, and his eyes pop wide. His hands flatten against my back, pushing me in closer to his tempting body. I can indulge in one kiss. It is my wedding night after all, and my husband is one of the sexiest men alive. It’s not wrong to take this one thing for myself, right? “Just one kiss,” I remind him as our breaths comingle.
“Only one.”
Closing my eyes, I lower my mouth to his and descend into sheer bliss. He lets me control it, at first, and I’m surprised at the potent need driving me to take everything as I prod at the seam of his lips with my tongue. He opens instantly, letting my tongue plunge inside his mouth. I reposition myself on his lap, straddling his hips, so I can properly kiss him, and it’s that moment when all bets are off.
REVIEW

Rating: 4.5 Stars
This book was everything you could wish for. It’s amazing and full of action and intense from the very start.
Massimo and Catarina were brilliant. You could really feel the passion and intensity between them and this also grows over time where it’s getting more intense.
I’ve found mafia books by Siobhan are the best out there. She always pulls me in from the start and your always guaranteed to be glued to you kindle and not able to put it down.
The plot was very good. I liked that the female was a bad ar*e and strong. I loved seeing her strength and seeing aside to a character I’ve not seen in a book for a very long time
Well written, action packed and fast paced is what is delivered which your love.

You better watch out for people that bounce back from everything that’s meant to destroy them.
Those were the words that Coreline King learned to live by when it came to dealing with Tide ‘Rook’ Crow, member of the Battle Crows MC, general surgeon, and all-around jerk who lived to make her life a living hell.
It all started in high school when he stopped seeing her as a random girl and started to see her as his rival.
Together, they became ‘frenemies.’ I.e.—a person with whom one is friendly, despite a fundamental dislike or rivalry.
At least, it started out like that.
Everyone always says there’s a fine line between love and hate. And at first, Tide and Coreline don’t realize how very true that is.
Not until Tide gets hurt defending Coreline’s honor, and Coreline has to fix him because she feels like she owes him.
But one night of bad choices leads to a very big ‘oops’ that will either haunt them for the next eighteen years or bring them together as tight as they ever could be.
I've had a crush on my best friend for as long as I can remember. But he's a hockey winger who has quite a reputation with the puck bunnies, and I'm a nerdy girl trying to survive my biochemistry degree as a single mom.
If science has taught me anything, it's that facts don't lie. And the truth is Ryse and I are from two completely different worlds. He's headed for the pros, and I hypothesize I'll be left behind... again.
Ryse might not be boyfriend material, but he makes a great fake fiancé because he's fooling even me. After months of subtle touches and staged kisses, our experiment finally combusts.
He may be a reckless player... but his pretend love is the realest thing I've ever felt.
Ryse
After my gorgeous best friend moves in next door, things go from friend-zone to chemistry off the charts. Now I'm seeing the sexy single mom in a whole new light.
It's my year to go pro, and before I can draft, I need to clean up my playboy reputation and graduate. I can't risk a relationship... or my friendship with Paris. When she needs a fake fiancé to get her son into private school, I do what any good friend would do-- I volunteer.
But the closer we get, the more blurred the lines become. Falling for her is a complication I didn't calculate... but pretending to love her is the easiest game I've ever played.
I just hope when the game is over, I don't lose her for good.
This was a exciting and fun friends to lovers romance. I really like the characters and the friendship between Ryse and Paris. There chemistry was off the charts. There relationship between them two grew throughout the story and I loved watching that part of the book.This is the fourth book in the series and I’ve not read any of them before this book but the story is a stand-alone so I could enjoy the story without read
