Feature and Giveaway: My Best Friend's Ex by Shannyn Schroeder

Trevor Booth's life was just thrown a curveball. When his ex dies, he suddenly goes from an every-other-weekend, fun-time dad to a full-time dad. The dad part he's cool with, but life with two teens is like a roller coaster in hell. Thank God his ex-wife's best friend, Callie, seems to have secret powers that allow her to deal with the chaos.

Callie is devastated when Lisa dies, and she's determined to help the kids get through it. She's concerned about how Trevor will adjust to being a full-time parent, but she's having a tough time keeping her eyes off his ripped physique. Callie loves being a part of this makeshift family, but no way she's falling for her best friend's ex.

Feature and Giveaway: One Night with the Millionaire by Shannyn Schroeder

Over-forty, single mom Tess Howland's life is all about caring for other people. Indulging in a one night stand is just what she needs. She doesn't expect to meet anyone she would introduce to her kids, especially not some rich playboy who acts like a big kid himself. Even if he keeps giving her the best sex of her life.

Millionaire Miles Prescott can't get the sexy nurse he met at a fundraising gala out of his head. For the first time ever, he doesn't want a woman with no-strings-attached. He wants everything—even it comes with a ready-made family with a woman in her forties. Suddenly, helping with homework doesn't sound like the worst thing in the world, especially if it means being near Tess.

But what happens when he’s ready to step up and she says no?

ARC Review: Her Winning Formula by Shannyn Schroeder

Her Winning Formula is the third novella in the Hot & Nerdy Series by Shannyn Schroeder. Each of these stories can be read as standalones though as they are about interconnected characters. In Her Winning Formula, Felicity Stone is headed to Texas for spring break. She meets a handsome stranger at the airport and they get off on the wrong foot. But when they are on the airplane and Lucas starts to have some issues with flying, Felicity helps him out. When she finds out that her friends won't be joining her in Texas after all, she agrees to help Lucas out by attending a wedding with him in order for him to be able to avoid his ex. Felicity agrees to help Lucas out in exchange for lessons on how to flirt and pick-up guys. But the more time they spend together, the more Lucas and Felicity both start to disagree with the idea of her and anyone but Lucas.

I liked Lucas and Felicity. Lucas was sweet and caring, and I really liked seeing him be so patient with Felicity. He was encouraging and supportive, and was always trying to help her out. He wasn't at all bothered by her odd behavior, and really seemed to be interested in getting to know the real her. He also didn't push too hard or try to change her, which I really enjoyed. Felicity was awkward and had less than great social skills. She had been used to relying on her friends for help, but this time around she only had Lucas. It was great to see her open up to him and to accept that he liked her just as she was. These two were cute together, and I thought that they fit really well. They had a lot of chemistry and also just seemed to click from the start. Their connection was quick, but it didn't feel forced.

Overall, this was a short and cute romance. I liked the characters, and I was glad that they weren't the same cookie-cutter type NA characters that you often see. I do feel as though their connection was a bit rushed, followed by a bit of a slump where I felt like they should have been more open with each other. Communication seemed to be a big issue for them, with both of them making assumptions and not speaking to each other. I also felt like the ending was really abrupt. It was going well and picking back up again only to suddenly stop. I had wanted a bit more, and was curious to see how things played out for these two. I felt like we really missed out on getting to see what happened after everything went down. I would maybe give this one a shot if you are looking for a short and sweet NA read, but if you are looking for something deep well tied up at the end this might not be the one for you.

Meet Shannyn Schroeder, author of Catch Your Breath.

Shannyn is a former English teacher, who now works as a part-time editor while raising her three kids.

Even though she wrote from high school through college (mostly poetry), she’d never considered a career as an author. Writing fell by the wayside as she focused her energy on creating lesson plans and new and fabulous ways to torment her teen students. One group in particular dubbed her “The Torture Master,” a title she carried into motherhood.

After the birth of baby number two, Shannyn resigned from teaching and fell in love with reading romance novels. She read so many books so quickly that her husband teased, “If you’re going to read so many damn books, why don’t you just write one?”

So she did.

That first book is safely buried on her hard drive, but the process set Shannyn on the path to where she is today—agented with a debut ebook coming out with Kensington in late 2012.

She is recovering from her Diet Coke addiction, fears putting her foot in her mouth on social media, and has a renewed appreciation for the bad girls of the world.
