The Real Men series concludes

ONE REAL MAN concludes my Real Men series. I've had a great time writing these books and have worked with some wonderful editors, especially Stacy Abrams. Each book has had its own challenges. This is the first series I've written, and it hasn't always been plain sailing. I don't know what it is, but writing a series doesn't come naturally to me like it seems to with other writers. I've loved spending time with my characters, and I hope some of my readers have too!

The other books in the series are:

REAL MEN DON'T BREAK HEARTS - Ally discovers that Nate, the man she holds responsible for her jilting, is her new landlord.

 

REAL MEN DON"T QUIT - Tyler and Luke know their fling can't last. She has a daughter to care for, and he has a book to write.

 

WHITE-HOT HOLIDAY - A Christmas novella. Can Naomi show Aaron the magic of Christmas when he's stuck down under?

New release! One Real Man

My latest book from Entangled Bliss is out now! I'm so excited to release book 3 of the Real Men series.

She's right where he wants her...

Amidst an ugly divorce and an even uglier scandal, Paige Kerrigan has returned to her parents' estate to hide out until things blow over. While she's enjoying a late-night naked swim, however, she's shocked to find Owen Bellamy— her family's former cute pool boy—standing poolside. Now he's all hot, grown up, and renting the Kerrigan property…and he's definitely not forgiven Paige for how she used to treat him.

Once, the beautiful but spoiled Paige Kerrigan was everything Owen wanted. Now she's broke and Owen finally has his revenge...by offering her a place to stay as his housekeeper. Yet Paige isn't the person he remembers. Instead, she's far more than he imagined, and far more irresistible than is safe. But the last thing Owen can afford is to give his heart to the same woman who once broke it.

AWW 2015 Review: Her Best Worst Mistake by Sarah Mayberry

I'm taking part in this year's Australian Women Writers Challenge, and I think I chose the Stella level, which is to read 4 and review 3. So this is my first review for the year!

She thinks he's stuffy. He thinks she's spoilt. Then the gloves come off and so do their clothes!

When I first started reading this book, I was a little worried. Martin St Clair, the stuffy hero, is engaged to Violet Sutcliffe’s best friend. Elizabeth and Martin have been dating for something like six years, and their wedding is about to take place in the near future. How would Violet and Martin end up together without it being messy and icky? I needn’t have worried because the story unfolded beautifully and seemingly naturally even though Martin and Violet have some very hot sex not long after he and his fiancée part ways.

I really enjoyed this contemporary romance set in London. Violet is a fun heroine, and Martin gradually grows on the reader (though he does sound awfully prim and proper at the beginning). There's plenty of steamy sex, but the real relationship unfolds at a realistic pace, and at the end I did believe in Violet and Martin's HEA. 

This was a charming enemies to lovers romance about two opposite people who aren’t so different under the skin after all.

Season's greetings

Wishing you all a happy and safe holiday! Remember to read lots of books.

Looking for a quick holiday read?

My sweet contemporary romance, WHITE-HOT HOLIDAY, is just 99 cents.

Nice is about to meet Naughty…

When Aussie Naomi Spencer hears her uncle's American friend is coming Down Under for a short visit, she can't wait to be rid of him. Aaron's “Bah Humbug” attitude drives her crazy...and so does his incredibly sexy smile, and the way he pitches in to help her get ready for all her relatives. Okay, so maybe he's not a total Grinch. But when Naomi’s uncle warns her to stay away from his playboy friend, Naomi’s simple holiday gets even more complicated.

When a volcano grounds all flights back to the States, Aaron Cade finds himself stranded in Oz. For Aaron, family holidays are to be endured, not celebrated. Only Naomi brings magic to the simplest things: shopping for gifts, finding the perfect decorations, and making him feel at home in the bizarrely tropical December heat. His sudden, overwhelming attraction to Naomi will turn his idea of home upside-down…but can he change everything for one white-hot love?
