A brand new hot romantic comedy from Karen Kelley!Katie:I really needed to get serious and concentrate on my writing, but the barista behind the counter at my fav coffee shop is not making it easy. The guy is drop dead gorgeous. I’m talking six-pack abs, broad chest, and oozing sex appeal. In other words, way out of my league! Then he finds my flash drive and reads the start of my book! I want to … start of my book! I want to die. I’m a nice girl. Really, I am, but I have very naughty thoughts.
When I discover he’s actually a famous writer and offers to help, how can I say no? His help means I might actually escape my demonic boss, and living with my evil twin sisters (no lie! I’m talking straight out of f**king Cinderella evil).
But just how far am I willing to let him go when I stumble over the love scenes?
Jaxson:
I’ve never seen anyone with worse fashion sense than Katie. But as she sat at one of the tables in the coffee shop, laptop open, she removed those god-awful black glasses and nibbled her bottom lip. Then she smiled and transformed before my eyes.
I want her.
Can’t have her. She’s not that type.
Then I find and read her flash drive and discover there’s a whole other side to her beneath those baggy clothes and ugly glasses. She only needs a little help. Especially with her love scenes.
I should probably keep the relationship strictly platonic.
Nope, not going to happen.
This is book one in a brand new series of steamy, contemporary romantic comedies from USA Today bestselling author Karen Kelley.

Caught between a demanding boss and demanding sisters, part time romance novelist Katie tries to unleash and express her inner steamy side only to be frustrated by writer’s block and lack of time to write. Her only solace is her favorite coffee shop where she finds inspiration in the form of coffee shop heir and renowned suspense novelist Jaxson Hayes.
This full length novel is well written, easy flowing, humorous, erotic and steamy as well as a good tutorial for a budding writer.
2. Book 2: Take a Hike!: 5 stars
I received a free copy of Unleashing the Passion aka Take a Hike!: The Hayes Brothers : Book 2 by Karen Kelley and this review was given freely.
Sassy, strong, and adventurous wilderness outfitter Makenna and hunky wilderness guide Hayes brother Nash fight irritation and attraction in this complex and action packed novel which is a little steamy. This well balanced novel is suspenseful, contains a little violence, a little humor, wonderful characters, has a good tie in with the other Hayes brothers, and an excellent lead in to Ryder’s story.
3. Book 3: Nailed It: 5 stars
I received a free copy of the novel Nailed It: Hayes Brothers book 3 by Karen Kelley and this review was given freely.
Architect and Bad Boy Ryder has a surprising first encounter with Mckenna’s best friend and business partner Samantha which leads to a well-balanced story blending angst romance, humor, family interference, and attraction that is mixed with a little steam. Vivid character descriptions made the characters feel real causing me to be invested not only in this story but the continued saga of the Hayes family.
4. Book 4: Rescue Me: 5 stars
I received a free copy of Rescue Me: Hayes Brothers Series Book Four and the last in the series of the four coffee heir brothers by Karen Kelley and this review was given freely.
Complex with some twists, a little violence, and some wonderful friends and family. Set in Texas, this is an attraction at first sight steamy romance between vintner, coffee shop owner and paramedic Layne and the new introverted paramedic Fiera who has moved to Texas in search of her father’s grave.
OMG! I loved this book. What a great way to start a new series.
Funny, steamy to the max, and such a wonderfully original plot. Every woman would want a man like Jaxson to coax them through a love scene.
And, more importantly, why do none of the baristas at my favorite coffee shop turn out to be this great???
Absolutely cracked up at the heroine’s description of her family situation.
On to book 2 in the series!

USA Today bestselling author Karen Kelley has a new series!
If you’re headed to the beach/lake this summer and looking for a good romance, you should grab a copy. I really recommend this book! Why:
1. It made me laugh – “she dropped to her knees…no, wait, that would hurt”.
2. It’s a romance…just the right amount of sugar and spice 😉
3. It is well written – not often I want to shake sense into characters in a book, but this author made me want to do so…those twins are something else
4. It’s just the right length, perfect for a summer read
(As a side benefit for inspiring writers, some nice pointers added throughout since the main characters are both writers!)
I received an Advanced Copy and am voluntarily reviewing.
