Helen. What a sweet name for a girl who is anything but.
The first time I laid eyes on Theo Whitlock, I chased him and his frat boy friends with a bat.
Iโm no white knight.
Iโm broke. Heโs rich. I destroyed his car. He chooses not to rat me out.
I was never supposed to go to college, but especially not one like Savage U, where only the wealthiest need apply. One might call this a lucky break, only I donโt feel so lucky with a drug dealer breathing down my neck, and a gangster threatening to burn my house down.
You have a face that could launch a thousand ships.
Theo and I donโt make sense, but being with him feels good, and I need more than my books and classes to distract me from the chaos and violence in my life.
I know youโre my good girl. Arenโt you, Helen? Tell me.
Weโre casual. No complications. We have to be. Iโm keeping secrets, and I have a feeling behind Theo Whitlockโs twinkly blue eyes is a whole world of darkness.
Julia Wolf is a lover of all things romance. From steamy, to sweet, to funny, to so dirty youโll be blushing for days, she loves it all.
Formerly a hair stylist, she spent years collecting stories her clients couldnโt wait to spill. And now that sheโs writing full time, sheโs putting those stories to use, although all identifying characteristics have been changed to protect the not-so-innocent!
Julia lives in Maryland with her three crazy, beautiful kids and her patient husband who sheโs slowly converting to a romance reader, one book at a time.
Panty melting hotness mixed with giggle out loudย laughter. The Best Men combined the best of both worlds which made for utterlyย divine reading.
The powerhouse duo of Blakely and Bowen absolutely blew the roof off this book!! From beginning to end I couldn’t put the story down. Yes, this book was hot, pure molten lava fire HOT! But, these boys, sorry men, were also flushed out, well developed and supremely well written that I was right there living every moment with them. I was completely immersed in their world and never wanted to leave.
Mark Banks is a single, divorced father. He works on Wall Street in a high pressure job and he’s the main caregiver to his 6 year old daughter. It doesn’t leave a lot of time or basically any time for dating or relieving the stress of his life. He’s not bitter about where he is in life, per say, he just never thought he’d be single with his only companion being his hand late at night dreaming of wicked fantasies he’d one day like to have that didn’t involve just his palm and five digits as dates. When Mark meets Asher St. James, a man who exemplifies the single bachelorhood lifestyle, Mark instantly and outwardly loathes him, but also inwardly he wants to mount him and introduce him to his late night activities. It’s very confusing to his steady late night date.
Asher is a fun, former athlete – now professional photographer. His smooth personality wins everyone over, everyone except Mark Banks. Basically Asher’s that guy that everyone in the room likes and he can’t understand why Mark Banks doesn’t seem to like him. Asher shouldn’t take it personally, it really isn’t him per say. Well, it sort of isn’t him. Asher isn’t used to flirting with straight men, but is Mark straight? All signs of his divorce and six year old daughter would say yes, but the very confusing things Mark says to Asher would say otherwise. Don’t take it personally Asher…there is a very specific reason Mark is the way he is…Lucky for both of them, a week in Miami planning a wedding for Mark’s sister and Asher’s best friend should help clear things up, or at least clear out Mark’s excel spreadsheet.
A fun, totally steamy, opposites-attract great read!!
Synopsis:
Bestselling authors Sarina Bowen and Lauren Blakely team up for the first time in an enemies-to-lovers, opposites-attract, irresistibly sexy standalone romance between the best man and the other best man!
In my defense, I was left alone with a bottle of single-malt and a life-long penchant for protecting my baby sister. Still, that’s no excuse to send ten drunk-texts on why her hasty marriage would be a mistake.
If only I had just texted my sister. But nope. I accidentally sent the message to her, her groom, and his super hot wingman.
I also used the phrase โsuper hot wingman,โ so Iโd like to die now.
Instead, I have to plan a wedding with the aforementioned hottie and share a too-small guesthouse in steamy Miami.
Three days in the sun with the cocky, charming former athlete who likes to push my buttons? Fine, two can play at that letโs-infuriate-each-other game.
Until Asher ups the stakes with one wildly sexy suggestion. A no-strings fling, then I go back to my single dad life in New York, and he returns to his star-studded one.
Sign me up.
But the more nights I spend with the other best man, the more I want days too, and that just can’t happen. Especially when I find out the real reason whyโฆ
Contents Include: First times, a secret to-do list, champion-level flirting, fast cars, #eggplants, and two men who look good in formal wear.

What if Fate matched me with this human, and she’s my mate?
Alphaโs Revenge, an all-new steamy and action-packed paranormal romance from USA Today bestselling authors Renee Ross and Lee Savino, is available now!
This is insane. This humanโbeautiful though she may beโcanโt be my mate. I learned the hard way what it’s like to lose people you love. As an alpha, I vowed never to let that happen again. That means keeping my focus. Never letting my guard down. And, most of all, staying away from civilians – i.e. humans. But the feisty chocolatier has me breaking my own rules. The beautiful female tests my patience… and all my control. I should stay away. I can’t protect the pack if I succumb to my desires. But what if this is more than desire? What if Fate matched me with this human, and she’s my mate? If I don’t claim her, I’ll lose it all in the worst possible way.
โAdele.โ Rafe catches my elbows to steady me as I bounce off his immovable form.
Iโm more flustered than a misstep calls for, but itโs only because my nerves were already ragged over asking Rafe for a job, and now that Iโve decided I donโt actually want the job, I feel somehow caught.
โRafe,โ I manage to say. Donโt be nervous. Imagine him naked.
Trouble is, I imagine Rafe naked far too much.
Heโs still holding my elbows, standing far too close. Rafeโs not as Hollywood good-looking as his brother Lance, who recently knocked up my friend Charlie. His hair is darker. His eyes are green. Lance is charming in that laidback, lazy smile kind of way. Rafe is the opposite. No charm. Definitely not laidback. Thereโs a ruggedness and ferocity about him that makes being around him feel terribly dangerous.
Dangerous, intense, andโฆ exciting.
Heโs the kind of guy youโd want on your side, not against it. Last week, when my business partner turned up dead, Charlie got kidnapped, and I was picked up by the police for questioning, I learned exactly how powerful it is to have a guy like him in my court.
So Iโm already beholden to Rafe.
Something I hate. Donโt trust a man โฆ
โIโumโI was just leaving.โ
โYou were?โ His brows go down, gaze sweeps over me. โIt looks like you just got here.โ His eyes snag on my high heeled boots. โYou walk in the snow in those?โ
โYes?โ Why did I make that sound like a question? Something about his surly black brows makes me uncertain. I clear my throat and try again. โYes, of course.โ
โYou need to be more careful. Those boots arenโt good in the snow.โ And there it is, the most annoying thing about Rafe. He orders everyone around. The fact that heโs always in fatigue pants and a gray or army green Henley doesnโt lessen his drill sergeant vibe. Neither does the way he stands and looks down on everyone, like a general inspecting his troops and finding us all wanting. I think itโs great he had a military careerโwhen I first met him, I thanked him for his serviceโbut heโs not the boss of me!
Iโm tempted to declare that and stomp my boots like Iโm four, but that wonโt help him take me seriously. Or land me a job.
โAre you meeting someone?โ Rafe asks.
โNo. Um, yes. Ahโโ I shake my head. Iโm on the spot here, not sure whether to flee or beg. Neither idea appeals.
Of course, he doesnโt make it easy for me. He releases my elbows to put his hands on his hips, like Iโm in trouble, and now I have to answer to him.
Screw this. I canโt work for him.
โNothing. Nevermind. I have to go.โ I try to move past him, but he moves to block my path.
โHang on a second. Were you here to see me? Or did something happen?โ He scans the restaurant with a scowl, as if to identify some mystery offender who was rude to me.
Shoot. Maybe I am supposed to ask him for a job. I mean, here he is, insisting I explain myself.
โRafe, Iโโ
At the sound of his name, his gaze snaps back to mine, locking and honing in. When I nervously lick the lip gloss off my lips, his gaze dips to my mouth. A hungry expression comes over his face.
God, Iโm hungry, too. And not for food.
Every time Iโm near this guy, a slow thrum of awareness tunes up between my legs. His big body, hard and solid with muscle, his dark hair and eyes… I gaze up at him, and itโs all too easy to imagine what it would be like to be underneath him. Heโd probably order me, as bossy and dominant in bed as he is out.
And wouldnโt that be delicious?
No, no, no. I absolutely do not want Rafe, naked and looming over me, telling me what to do. That would be terrible.
Gawd, my panties are soaked. Time to get this conversation back on track. I take a second to remember how much Rafe annoys me and raise my chin.
โHonestly?โ I say. โI came to see if you, um, still needed help. You know, in the kitchen. Iโm, ah, not going to be able to reopen The Chocolatier at the moment.โ
Rafe goes still, his brows angled together in concern.
Itโs way more of a reaction than I expected from him. I donโt know what I thought heโd doโblow me off or tell me to fill out an application. But instead, he grabs my hand and draws me further into the Grille. โCome here,โ he says gruffly.
