 CAPTION THIS IMAGE.

I'll start: Him: "To phub or not to phub."
Her: Later tonight. "To snub or not to snub."

Did you know that phubbing is a real term?
I had to google it.

Phubbing is a term coined as part of a campaign by Macquarie Dictionary to describe the habit of snubbing someone in favour of a mobile phone.

Please vote for your favorites at The Swoony Awards!




No automatic alt text available.



Hey all,

If you feel so inclined, I would LOVE it if you would vote for Jailbird and Hothouse Flower, which have been reader nominated for The Swoony Awards on Goodreads! (Stone Silence was on there too, but had to be removed because it doesn't qualify for the correct publication dates. But how cool that a reader nominated it as well!)

Click HERE for the link!

How you rank the books you vote for is very important. For example, if you vote for ten books, the book you mark as your #1 vote will get a much higher score than voting for a book and ranking it as your #10 favorite.

The Swoony Awards are a reader’s choice award recognizing excellence in clean secular, wholesome romance. We wanted a way to show our appreciation to these awesome authors who write the kind of books that we love.

Eligibility

-ONLY books PUBLISHED December 1, 2017 – November 30, 2018 are eligible
-Intimacy: G-PG13 (closed door or fade to black)

A huge thank you to all who head on over and vote. Even if you don't vote for my books, thanks for your participation!

A NEW RELEASE BY CHARISSA STASTNY!

If you enjoy clean contemporary romance, you will love Charissa's books!

Check them out!


Package Deal (Ruled Out Romances Book 2) by [Stastny, Charissa]


Angels come in different packages. 

Single mom Spring has no desire to date again, so she's pleasantly surprised at her best friend’s wedding when a handsome man’s flirtations charm, instead of annoy her. But when her toddler runs up and calls her Mommy, she can tell by his disgruntled reaction that her daughter is a deal-breaker. He can’t escape fast enough. 

Hudson Sandel is proud of his bachelor status even as he attends his little brother’s wedding as best man. Too bad the only woman who tempts him has a daughter that rules her out. Instant fatherhood isn’t on his agenda. But when the kid throws a tantrum, he swoops in to help keep her from ruining the special night. When he leaves though, he can’t stop thinking about the gorgeous blonde’s expression when he played hero to her child. It made him feel uncomfortably good. 

As fate, grocery shopping, and toddler tantrums keep throwing the angelic duo into Hudson's path, will he risk his heart and dreams on the package deal, or stick to the sure road leading to corporate success and glory?

***

In this new series of stand-alone romances, star-crossed lovers meet, but rule each other out. Yet life, with its quirky twists and tangled turns, brings each of the unlikely duos together until they discover their unique happily-ever-afters.

Ruled Out Romances (Do not have to read in order)
1 - Game Changer
2 - Package Deal
3 - Collateral Hearts (Coming in 2018)
4 - Corporate Crush (Coming in 2018)

MY REVIEW

FIVE STARS!!!

The littlest member of the package deal steals the show in this charming romance about finding out that three is not always a crowd—and that our hearts can always make room for one more person to love. Seriously, I loved Spring and eventually Hudson. (He's really a softie. You just don't know it at first.) I loved their slow-growing romance. But, little Emma really wrapped herself around my little finger. Don't get me wrong, this is totally a romance novel--but the scenes with the sweet little daughter will warm your heart. An excellent addition to the Ruled Out Romances series.



Catch the first book in the series too!

Game Changer (Ruled Out Romances Book 1) by [Stastny, Charissa]


Meridee Mansford wants nothing to do with the popular crowd. She’s comfortable being invisible. But that doesn’t stop her from dreaming about the hunky football player who visits the campus ice cream shop where she works. Still, she’s smart enough to know he’d never notice a girl like her, and she’d never want him even if he did. Too much unwelcome attention. 

Parker Harrington basks in the glory that’s been his since the game-changing passes he caught pre-season that pushed his team into the national spotlight. Sticky Fingers is his media moniker now, and the cheerleaders who used to ignore him when he sat the bench have become his most devoted fans. But when he accidentally crashes into a quiet coed in the student union building, it throws off his offensive game.

As fate, ice cream, and orange chicken throw the opposites together, will Parker continue keeping company with women he knows are only using him for his fame, or will he change up the game and risk his heart on a genuine girl who despises the attention he craves?

MY REVIEW

FIVE STARS!!!

Opposites attract when the overlooked sweet girl lands herself the popular football star in this quasi Cinderella story. It’s the perfect read to keep you up way past your bedtime—and leave a smile on your face when your head finally hits the pillow.

Parker Harrington quite literally runs into Meridee Mansford, creating quite the aftermath. He can’t forget his run-in with the unassuming beauty—even though his life trajectory is already headed straight toward perfection with a promising sports career and the attention of the girl he has always desired. So, why can’t he shake his wandering thoughts? Why is he drawn to a princess when he has the queen? The answer challenges Parker as he discovers that skin deep magnificence can never compare with the true beauty that lies deep within a soul. Game Changer will entertain the reader with witty dialogue and a fast paced plot. But the reader will also walk away knowing that true love wins every time. This is a well-written, feel-good book that will stick with you for days on end. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey!
