Scorching heat, laugh-out-loud humor, and swoon-worthy moments abound in this sexy new standalone romance by New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melissa Foster.

What happens when the player gets played?

Sidney Carver has a big problem, and he goes by the name of Dwayne “Gunner” Wicked: six-plus feet of muscular, motorcycle-riding, animal-loving deliciousness. Gunner is her boss, roommate, and best friend. They’ve seen each other through life-altering injuries and unimaginable losses, and they work side by side at Wicked Animal Rescue, fulfilling their passion to save animals. Unfortunately, Gunner is also the man Sidney is in love with, and he’s the ultimate player. As her former military comrade, Gunner sees her as his buddy—just one of the guys. Sidney is at her wit’s end, ready to risk the friendship and job she adores for a chance at forever love with the man she can’t live without. Like any good marine, she comes up with a mission. Enter Operation Get My Guy.

Gunner loves his life. He has a family he adores, a brotherhood that always has his back, and a host of willing women to warm his bed. As the owner of Wicked Animal Rescue, he saves lives and works with his best friend, Sid, the coolest woman on the planet. When Sid concocts a crazy plan to win his cousin’s heart, Gunner reluctantly agrees to be her wingman.
Practices heat up as roommates become teammates. Let the wicked fun begin…

No cheating. No cliffhangers. Guaranteed to melt panties and leave readers hopelessly in love with the sinfully delicious Wickeds.

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . CRAZY, WICKED LOVE (The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside, #3) . . . I always love returning to Bayside. I love return to Melissa Foster and the stories she create. I love even more falling back into the Wickeds and the Dark Knights. They felt like more than family. The had bonds deeper than blood and stronger than steel. Gunner and Sid's trek to love was no different. I loved watching and Gunner works to help Sid catch the man she wants. He has not clue this was just a mission Sid has undertaken to get him. She has loved him for years. He just sees her as another friend or worse just one of the guys. This was a friends-to-lover with a lot of work and fun along the way.

Angelbound Xavier Trilogy, #1
by Christina Bauer
Publication date: March 9th 2023
Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult



BLURB

Ancient Egyptians. Powerful gods. Lost loves. And one badass warrior with wings.

Welcome to the beautiful land of ancient Egypt… only it may not stay so lovely for long. The chaos god, Set, plans to destroy the human world. Fortunately, the angel Xavier has the perfect plan to imprison Set and fast. Even better, Xavier can enact his scheme alone… which is just the way he likes it. No partners. No complications. No problems.

Suddenly, a gorgeous woman materializes. Calling herself Camilla, she declares she’s from the future. All of which is strange enough, but things soon go from bad to weird when Camilla announces that she and Xavier must work together—it’s the only way to defeat Set.

Wow, does Xavier ever hate that idea.

The warrior angel decides on a strategic retreat. In other words, Xavier works to avoid Camilla at all costs. Turns out, that isn’t so easy. This mystery woman has set Xavier’s blood on fire in a way he’s never felt before. No matter how hard he tries, Xavier simply can’t desert her.

But is Camilla another element of Set’s destructive chaos magic… or is she Xavier’s only chance to save both himself and humanity?

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . ARCHENEMY (Angelbound Xavier Trilogy, #1) . . . How do I do this and not give away all the delight inside? ... You are going to love this. CB always deliver with the world she created for the Angelbound World/Universe. There was so much for you to get lost in. The vivid imagery was just a tip of the delights you will find within the pages of this new trilogy. Her mind is just amazballs.

Xavier was a lone warrior that liked it that way. Of course, you know that it had to be a female to show him the error of his thinking. Not just any female. With him being an angel it could only be a human female. A human female, Camilla, that shows him a bit more than he was not and could not do this alone. 

Camilla was so much more than what Xavier was barging for. She was that one for him that would make everything in his world make sense and not make sense all at the same time. You will have to pick up a copy of Archenemy to see what I am not telling you.
