🏍 ABOUT 🏍

Maxx Reynolds needs help.

His shop, house, and life are all in a state of disarray. In desperation, he turns to the internet to hire a new employee, thinking it will make his life easier.

What he expects is a fellow named Charly.

What he gets is a quirky, sassy, red-head name Charlynn who runs circles around him.

And she's all woman.

He can't stand her.

He can't keep his hands off her either.

Brand new romantic comedy from NYT Bestselling author Melanie Moreland. This small-town is about to see fireworks when feisty Charly starts to organize more than Maxx’s life.

 Excerpt

“You’re a pain in the ass, anyone ever tell you that?”

“You’re a controlling jerk who refuses to admit he needs help.”

We were so close, I could feel her warm breath on my face. See the flecks of gray in the green of her eyes. I glared at her.

“You’re trying my patience, Red.”

“You’re pissing me off,” she retorted, jabbing at my chest with her pointy finger.

I grabbed her hand, and we both stared at it. Felt the heat bubbling in the air around us. Our gazes locked, and suddenly, my mouth was on hers. Demanding. Hard. Determined.
She yanked back, her breathing hard. “You’re an asshole.”

“I know.”

Then she flung her arms around my neck and kissed me back. She pulled me hard, yanking on my hair. I wrapped my arm around her, settling my hand on that spectacular ass, and dragging her close. Our tongues battled for dominance, neither of us giving an inch.

It was only the sound of a car door slamming out front that had us pulling apart. We faced each other, her lips swollen from our passion, her rapid breathing matching mine. My cock was hard and erect, pulsating with need.

She swallowed. “I’ll order that wipe-off board.”

I nodded. “Yeah, you do that.”

She turned and fled.

USA Today Bestselling author Claudia Burgoa presents a witty, funny & heartfelt billionaire, enemies-to-lovers romance.

I hate my boss. He’s the devil in disguise—but I just can’t seem to stay away.

When my employer Henry Alderidge is set to claim a large inheritance from his deceased father, he drags me along with him—because he needs his assistant. I have no choice but to move across the country with Satan’s bastard and stay with him for over a year in order to pay for my mother’s debts.

Henry drags me to a small town where everyone knows your business and to a family that’s more broken than close. The Alderidge brothers are handsome, arrogant, and sinful.

They’re also too much to handle.

Henry’s dad lost his mind before he died, and the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. I don’t know how I’ll survive for eighteen months with this man.

Except you should never judge a book by its cover. And Henry Alderidge has more hiding beneath the surface than I ever thought possible...

The Baker’s Creek Billionaire Brothers series is a romantic comedy saga packed with the perfect mix of angst, tears, and laughs. If you like strong heroines & alpha males, steamy romances, and witty love stories, this series is for you!

Okay this is normally where I copy and paste my review. Which I will. HOWEVER, because I have read so many other reviews, I think I pale.  Gird your loins, incoming LONG review...

If you haven't checked out the Vested Interest series or hells bells, Melanie Moreland's writing, you are missing out on the best in romance. Her storytelling always delivers all the necessary elements I need for complete entertainment: heart, soul and happy ever after. But where her specialty lies is in the male characters. They are more than the sum of their exterior shell. Ms. Moreland delivers the personalities flaws and all where the reader cannot help but fall in love with them. 

Reid does not disappoint. But exceeded my expectations. 

A beta virgin isn't a new trope to introduce to readers. Their story has an expectation. Not Reid. His position isn't because of some tragedy impacting the decision to forgo or ingrained belief. What it boils down to is opportunity with the right person. And once he meets Becca, he recognizes the 'One'. And the courtship - yes, getting to the sex - becomes fun. Imagine being the disenfranchised man and suddenly getting everything you've ever dreamed of. You are going to ROCK HER SOCKS! 

But the story has more than just the trials of getting to a HEA. It's about how your past decisions impact your future. Does someone deserve to keep paying for that mistake? Melanie Moreland handles the topic with truth and honor without high drama. Her storytelling gives insight to any characters ability to change or rearrange their 'spots'. 

If you've not read the Vested Interest series, yes it can be read as a standalone. I actually took the journey with an ARC reader and I got a resounding thumbs up. Yet, as she said, why miss out on the fabulous and entertaining story of friendship in the series. 5+ out of 5 IT Genius finds his 127.0.0.1

Here's what I forgot to mention:  First, Reid is a beta. And to write a good beta without being a doormat is a feat. (I use doormat as that’s the favorite word amongst reviewers for female betas and I feel it’s gender neutral.)  Reid is a perfect swoonworthy beta. He’d like to have more suave and swagger. Time and nurturing environment just hasn’t been friends with him in that department. Melanie Moreland pulls this off. He is endearing. For all the bumbling he has, Becca just falls hopeless in love with him. She’s confused as fuck by him. But damnit he is irresistible!

My next point is how Melanie touches on the disenfranchised. Often in romance this is ignored or glossed over. Because face it, it’s not sexy. But it’s real. For Reid and the reasons he has the label ‘ex-con’, it can’t be ignored. If he is going to have a HEA, it’s a hurdle to overcome. The fact this author didn’t shy away but embraced it – BRAVA! 

Lastly, let’s talk about the heroine. Because folks, everyone is in love with Reid, but what about the girl who captures his heart. She has tough decisions. Girl on her own from the hometown  and friends she adores. And overbearing Dad who is afraid to lose her. That’s drama central right there. Yes, Becca has choices to make. But instead of being a simpering female unable to make decisions, she is a “I-know-what-I-want- grab-the-bull-by-the-horns” woman or pole by the ankles. wink

All in all, this is a story to enjoy watching others fall in love and be in love. 

I hope you fall just as hard for Reid as I did.
