4.5 Stars

This is an amazing quick read. I really enjoyed reading about Pris and Rand. I loved the banter back and forth between the two of them.

Pris isn't sure how to deal with her brother and best friend being together. She's happy for them, but sad she'll be losing her roommate. She doesn't set out to find a man, but when the mysterious Rand shows up at the meet and greet she is intrigued. She wants to know more about him and she throws caution to the wind and does something completely out of the ordinary. She leaves and gets to know him a little. Or so she thinks. What will she do when she finds out who Rand really is?

Rand had plans once he set his sight on Pris. He was going to get her in his bed and find a way to weed out the competition. Once he meets her though he knows he should tell her who he is if he really wants a shot with her, but he decides to wait, but what happens when that blows up in your face? Can he fix it? Or is he stuck with one night?

These are fun little novellas. I can't wait for the next one this summer.

~ Author Bio ~

M.C. Cerny first fell in love with books after experiencing her first real ugly cry reading, Where The Red Fern Grows. Her debut romantic suspense novel, Flashpoint was written in a series of post-it-note ramblings that would likely make her idol Tom Clancy blush. She is a post graduate of NYU, working fulltime, and calls rural NJ home with her menagerie of human and feline fur-babies. When M.C. is not writing, you’ll find her lurking in Starbucks, running marathons, singing Disney show tunes, and searching out the perfect shade of pink nail polish.

Release Day Blitz: The Consequence of Loving Colton by Rachel Van Dyken

RELEASE DATE: APRIL 21, 2015

~ Synopsis ~

It’s all fun and games…until someone’s heart is broken.

They’re not kids anymore, but Milo Caro is certain that Colton Mathews will only see her as his best friend’s little sister for the rest of their lives. After all, he made that clear the night before she left for college. But four years later, her brother is getting married and Colt’s the best man—and guess who is the best man’s last-minute date?

Milo vows to use the wedding to either claim the smoldering firefighter’s heart or douse this torch for good. When Max—her best friend from college, who may be carrying a torch of his own—crashes the party, they devise a plan to make Colt see what he’s missing. But after Colt catches on, he decides to cook up his own revenge.

Now it’s personal. Colt and Milo are at war, and between Max’s questionable acting methods, an unfortunate trip to jail, and a maniacal fiancée, what could possibly go right?

I slept like crap all night—proving my point again. All men should burn in hell. I switched between nightmares of Colton’s rejection and dreams of Max riding in to rescue me on a giant-ass aloe vera plant.

Groaning, I tossed and turned, finally falling into a deep sleep around two a.m.

“Fire!” A voice penetrated my dreams. “Fire! Wake up!”

I jolted out of my bed to see Max sitting calmly at the end. He had two Starbucks cups in hand and was sporting a pair of black skinny jeans, a blue V-neck T-shirt, and a smile that looked like it belonged on the cover of GQ.

“Hey, you’re awake.” His grin widened.

“Yeah, weird, I thought there was a fire.”

He handed me the coffee. “There is. In your pants.”

“Pardon?”

“Because you’re a liar.” He patted my leg and shook his head. “Do I even want to know how this happened? Or was it the usual?”

“Usual?” My voice was gravelly, I took a large sip of coffee—it did wonders for my mood.

“Yeah, the usual Milo freak-out where you speak before you think. Typically involves lots of cursing, yelling, sometimes a fight breaks out, and I always end up having to fix it.”

My face burned.

Max nodded. “The usual, then. Gotcha.”

“Why are you here? What time is it?”

“Five a.m.,” he answered. “Your mom’s a fox, by the way, I swear she checked my ass out twice as I walked up the stairs.”

“She did not.”

“Your dad did the same. Ten bucks says your mom asks where I got my jeans and buys him a pair—oh, and by the way, you owe me big. I finally asked out the Starbucks girl and had to cancel our date on account that my other girlfriend”—his eyes narrowed—“had an emergency.”

I winced. “Please tell me you didn’t explain it that way to her.”

“Course not. I said my asthmatic little sister had an attack and almost died screaming my name . . .”

“You don’t have a sister.”

“Little Maddie’s screams were so loud, all she wanted was her big brother Max.”

“Who’s Maddie?”

“And I can’t deny her the one thing she wants in life, the one thing that makes her go on living.” Max wiped a fake tear. “I’m a broken man, Milo, and sisters are more important than dates.”

“I’m sure she was understanding.”

Max grinned. “You could say that.”

“Gross.”

“What?” He held up his hands. “I’m a guy. Just because you labeled me your gay friend freshman year does not actually make it true.”
