Depuis que la série des Stage Dive de Kylie Scott a été publiée en France il y a plusieurs années, je suis un fan absolue et fort heureusement, je lis en anglais ce qui me permet de lire les novellas qui ont suivi cette tétralogie principale et de savoir ce que deviennent nos héros : ici, nous retrouvons Dean, l'ingénieur son de "Sing" devenu producteur des Stage Dive et leur ami (rappelez-vous, il craquait pour Lena avant qu'elle ne se mette avec Jimmy) et nous découvrons Jude, une jeune femme qui est la nourrice du bébé de David et Evie (eh oui, ils ont eu un bébé dans la novella précédente) : elle vit dans une maison prêtée par le groupe mais ce qu'elle ne sait pas, ce que quand Dean est dans les parages, il dort aussi dans cette maison et bien sûr, ils vont devoir cohabiter et comme les filles (mais aussi les garçons) ont remarqué qu'elle craquait pour lui ET qu'ils aiment Dean et veulent son bonheur, elles vont jouer, une nouvelle fois, les cupidons afin qu'ils trouvent le bonheur ensemble : mais ils sont issus de milieux différents, ont un boulot très prenants tous les deux et Dean n'a jamais eu de chance en amour et maintenant qu'il est producteur, il se méfie encore plus. Quant à Jude, elle ne se sent pas faite pour lui vu le milieu dans lequel il évolue. Pourront-ils mettre de côté leurs doutes et avoir une chance? eh bien, vous le saurez en lisant cette petite novella (moins de 100 pages) très sympa mais qui nous permet surtout de revoir nos héros préférés et de savoir ce qu'ils deviennent.
"Just what I needed" est sorti le 8 novembre en VO et je remercie Social Butterfly Pr pour leur envoi en service presse. Présentation de l'éditeur :
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kylie Scott comes a new story in her Stage Dive series…
When the Stage Dive crew decides to help, they do it in a big way.
Nanny and housekeeper Jude has been going through a dry patch. Getting ready to dip her toes back into the dating pool is a little nerve racking. And the offers of assistance from her boss, David Ferris, and his band are not helping. Right up until music producer Dean Jennings arrives to work on the band's latest album.
But Dean is more than a little wary of dating anyone with anything to do with the Stage Dive crew after losing Lena to lead singer Jimmy Ferris all those years ago. Can Jude a) Convince the crew to stay out of her business and b) Woo the man of her dreams?
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**
Mon avis : Comme toujours, j'ai passé un excellent moment, même si clairement c'est trop court : alors oui, la fan des Stage Dive est ravie de les retrouver et je pense que Kylie fait ces nouvelles pour nous lecteurs mais cela génère forcément un sentiment de frustration.
On avait découvert Dean dans "Sing" et il semblait assez timide et pas de taille à rivaliser avec Jimmy pour le coeur de Lena mais depuis, l'eau a coulé : ils sont mariés, ont eu des jumelles et sont toujours aussi amoureux (tous les couples le sont d'ailleurs) et les filles ont décidé qu'il était temps qu'il trouve le bonheur, surtout qu'elles n'aiment pas vraiment le mannequin avec qui il a eu une longue aventure, Franckie, et qui revient régulièrement dans sa vie. Quand elle réalise que Jude, la nounou du bébé de David et Evy, Jamesy, craque pour lui et comme elles l'aiment bien, elles décident de l'aider à le séduire. On a donc des scènes hot et drôles en même temps et bien sûr, une romance (petite forcément) Ce sont deux personnages chouettes et Jude est une jeune femme qui a mis sa vie amoureuse enter parenthèses et ne sait pas vraiment faire pour séduire un homme tel que lui, lui un producteur et elle, une simple nourrice et femme à tout faire. Elle souffre d'un complexe d'infériorité et avait autrefois un "crush" pour Jimmy : vous voyez, la boucle est bouclée ^^ Mais quand on sait que c'est Lena et Ev qui vont l'aider, c'est encore plus drôle, bien que la jeune femme n'y tienne pas forcément^^...
Bref, je vous l'ai dit, c'est une petite novella (plus que d'habitude) donc forcément tout va très (trop?) vite mais le plus est de retrouver nos couples principaux et notamment Anne, la femme de Mal, prête d'accoucher de leur deuxième bébé ou encore Lena et Jimmy mais aussi Ben et leur fils (Lizzy est peu présente) et bien sûr, ils sont fidèles à eux-mêmes, se moquent gentiment les uns des autres, se rappellent leurs souvenirs et pour la fan que je suis, ce n'est que du bonheur.
C'est donc un super moment MAIS bien trop court : ceci dit, je préfère ça à rien du tout. Espérons donc qu'il y en ait une prochaine ;)

She’s about to teach him a lesson he won’t soon forget.
Folk Around and Find out, an opposites attract, single parent contemporary romance set in a small town from New York Times bestselling author Penny Reid is out now!
He needs to get her out of his system. Just once...
Hank Weller doesn’t help people. He leaves that do-gooder nonsense to his best friend, Beau Winston. Hank does what he wants, when he wants, with whomever he wants—and Hank does not want to hire Charlotte Mitchell to be an exotic dancer at his club, The Pink Pony. Sure, he can’t help noticing the dips and curves of her, how shrewd, smart, and funny she is, the fire in her hazel eyes. He's always noticed. She’d probably draw a crowd and entice the regulars. But after Charlotte's messy, public divorce made Hank’s club out to be the culprit—and made her the single mother of four kids—he doesn’t need or want any additional bad press courtesy of Charlotte Mitchell. Or the distraction. Unfortunately for him, the town’s prettiest charity case doesn’t seem to understand the meaning of the words nope, no, and never.
Charlotte Mitchell doesn’t much like Hank Weller. Once upon a time, she used to. Years ago, she liked him a whole heckofalot despite other folks in town labeling him as “eccentric” and “nonconformist,” which were polite southern alternatives to "filthy rich" and "self-centered douchebag." Her opinion of him changed dramatically after he volunteered to be her date to junior prom and then promptly stood her up. They haven't so much as acknowledged each other in over a decade. But a sudden family emergency means Charlotte needs access to Hank’s club ASAP. Unfortunately for her, the narcissistic fancy-pants doesn’t seem to understand the meaning of the words help, generosity, and compassion.
But he’s about to find himself schooled. Charlotte is going to teach Hank a lesson once and for all about basic human decency, whether he likes it or not.
Keep reading for a look inside Folk Around and Find Out!
My day hadn’t been great even before she walked in.
I’d just returned from the funeral of my longtime bookkeeper. He’d died from old age in his sleep surrounded by his five kids, loving wife, and eighteen grandchildren while leaving me with a reconciliation mess and this month’s payroll to finish.
My newly trained bartender had sent a manifesto via text message, blaming his decision to quit on my unwillingness to build a dedicated meditation room and give him four paid half-hour breaks per shift to use it.
Three Diamond Whiskey bottles out of the six that had shipped from the distributor were broken in the crate. If you’re keeping score, that’s seven hundred dollars in Tennessee Whiskey and a crime against humanity.
On the plus side, the suit I’d worn to my parents’ funerals fit and I still looked damn good in it.
Of course, I didn’t know the newcomer was her at first. The door opened and closed, same sound as normal no matter who was coming or going. It was a Sunday mid-morning, still early yet for any of the dancers or bouncers and way too early for any customers.
But the moment she turned the corner and came into view, I gritted my teeth. Here we go. What could she want? She better not be selling Bibles.
“Charlotte.” Standing behind the bar, I crossed my arms and sounded unfriendly. She’d caught me restocking paper products and the three surviving bottles of Diamond Whiskey. I was only half finished with my current task, but nowhere near half finished with my task list for the day. I did not have time for pious Charlotte Mitchell.
As a rule, I had time for two types of folks: people I paid, and people who paid me. A small number of exceptions to this rule existed: a few friends from college and in town, like Beau Winston or Patty Lee, and any woman I’d set my mind on seducing, but even then, I made sure the scales remained balanced—give and take, tit for tat, even-steven. Point is, Charlotte was obviously not the former exception, and there was no way she’d ever be interested in becoming the latter.
“Hank.” She didn’t look at me, but she did paste on an obligatory-looking smile that pulled her full lips tight and came nowhere close to her green eyes. Tracking Charlotte Mitchell’s slow approach, I didn’t miss how she took her time and peered around.
I wanted to snark, “Lost? I believe the wallpaper and sanctimony store is closer to downtown.”
Instead, I ground out, “What do you want?”

"End of Story", le prochain roman de Kylie Scott qui sortira le 14 février : "a steamy and quirky enemies to lovers romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Kylie Scott is coming February 14th, and we have the adorable cover!"
When Susie Bowen inherits a charming fixer-upper, she’s excited to start living her best HGTV-life. But when she opens the door to find that her contractor is none other than her ex’s best friend Lars—the same man who witnessed her humiliating public break-up six months ago—she isn’t exactly eager to have him around. The sooner this renovation is done, the sooner Susie can get back to embracing her single life.
Things go from awkward to unbelievable when Lars knocks down a wall and discovers a divorce certificate dated ten years in the future…with both their names on it. It couldn’t possibly be real, could it? As Susie and Lars work to unravel the document’s origins, the impossibility of a spark between them suddenly doesn’t seem so far-fetched. But would a relationship between them be doomed before it’s even begun?

"Fake" de Kylie Scott est en promo (la chronique est sur le blog )
“Kylie Scott proves once again why she is one of my auto-buy authors. FAKE is an absolute delight . . . for every woman who wished her celebrity crush would fall madly in love with her.” ― USA Today Bestselling Author Naima Simone
FAKE, a sexy and swoony fake dating, grumpy sunshine Hollywood romance from New York Times bestselling author Kylie Scott is on sale now for 99 cents! Don’t miss out on this romantic Cinderella story!
He walks the red carpet. She’s more familiar with vacuuming one.
When a scandal tarnishes the reputation of hot as hell A-lister, Patrick Walsh, he needs a reputation rescue, pronto.
Enter waitress Norah Peers–a nobody who’s average with a capital A. She’s available, dependable, and has sworn off men for the rest of her natural born life. In other words: the perfect match for a no-strings fake romance.
For the right amount of money, she can avoid waitressing and play the part of his down-to-earth girlfriend. What she can’t avoid–dammit–is the growing steam between them.
But being hounded by the paparazzi and having your life dissected on social media is a panic attack in the making. And while Patrick might be a charming rogue on screen, in real life he’s a six-foot-two confusing, gorgeous, brooding grump, who keeps her at a distance . . . but also makes her feel like this bond between them might be more than just an act.
Being dumped on cue should be no big deal. Except being fake with Patrick is the realist relationship Norah has ever had. What’s a girl to do, but flip the script, and ask for a rematch made in Hollywood?
Pretending to fall for her may be more dangerous than letting our meddlesome town play matchmaker.
Falling for the Bachelor, an all-new deliciously-hot brother’s best friend small town romantic comedy from bestselling author Amy Alves is live now!
I'm cursed. Unlucky in love. So pretending to fall in love with my best friend's sister couldn't possibly make it worse. My avoidance of relationships has two neighboring towns joining forces to find me a girlfriend—one I don’t want. So when they name me the bachelor in their charity dating show, I have two options: suffer the consequences of bailing or accept help from my best friend’s little sister. I chose the latter. Because Olivia Vaughn has a plan. She suggests a ringer—someone on the inside…someone I trust, that I can choose at the end of the show. A fake contestant. It’s crazy. Risky. And undeniably tempting.
We’d have to touch, flirt, kiss. I could pull her close…that long, auburn hair wrapped up in my fist as I whisper all the dirty thoughts I’ve ever had about her.
Pretending to fall for her may be more dangerous than letting our meddlesome town play matchmaker. Because if this backfires, it might cost me my best friend, disappoint our families, and reignite feelings for the feisty, hazel-eyed beauty I grew up with. So while I can’t—shouldn’t—pretend to fall in love with Olivia, I do. With the hope that fake girlfriends are curse-proof.
Falling for the Bachelor is a steamy, brother's best friend, fake relationship, friends-to-lovers, small town, standalone romantic comedy. It contains plenty of steamy scenes, laughs, and an HEA.

J'adore la série "River Rain" de Kristen Ashley depuis le préquel, qui est depuis devenu, le tome 1 : c'est une saga familiale à l'anglo-saxonne, comme on les aime, avec donc des tas de ramifications et des amis qui deviennent aussi des héros : dans ce dernier, l'héroïne, Genny, apprenait que son meilleur ami, Corey, qui venait de se suicider, avait oeuvré pour la séparer de l'homme qu'elle aimait quand elle était jeune, Duncan, et qui était son grand amour afin qu'elle lui tombe dans les bras. Mais ce n'est jamais arrivé. Elle est ensuite devenue une actrice reconnue et célèbre et a épousé un champion de tennis, Tom Pierce (notre héros de ce tome) et a eu trois enfants avec lui MAIS après de nombreuses années de mariage, celui-ci l'a trompée, ce qui a signé la fin de leur union. Corey espérait qu'elle se consolerait avec lui mais... quand il a enfin compris qu'elle ne le verrait jamais ainsi et avec tout ce qu'il avait fait, il a décidé de mettre fin à ses jours (c'est un personnage complexe, je vous en reparlerai ensuite)
Pourtant Genny et Tom étaient restés des amis très proches, malgré l'infidélité de ce dernier et force est de constater que même si ce dernier semblait assez sympathique et un type qu'on avait du mal à voir tromper sa femme, tant il était bien et était encore protecteur avec son ex, qui le protégeait aussi, on n'avait quand même une vision négative malgré tout, de cet homme qui avait trompé son épouse de toujours. Bref, on était bien partagé et ce, dès le départ et l'on avait raison!
Ici, il s'agit du tome de la rédemption de Tom et l'on va enfin comprendre pourquoi il a agi comme cela et pourquoi, au final, son ex semble ne pas trop lui en vouloir, bien qu'il ait détruit leur famille parfaite. Bien sûr, si Genny a retrouvé le bonheur avec son premier amour, Tom lui demeure seul... Or, on va apprendre qu'il avait rencontré une jeune femme, Mika, alors que Genny était enceinte de sa dernière fille et que bien qu'attirés l'un par l'autre, ils en étaient restés là, devenant amis et se recroisant au fil du temps et chacun menant sa vie : pour Mika, Tom était l'homme idéal, jusqu'à ce qu'elle apprenne sa trahison et là, elle a été terrible avec lui et elle avait rompu tout lien avec lui. Elle aussi s'était mariée lorsqu'elle était plus jeune avec un musicien mais ce dernier s'est tué dans un accident la laissant seule, enceinte et dévastée. Pourtant, jusqu'à la trahison de Tom, elle pouvait compter sur lui.
Chacun a donc mené sa vie de son côté, leurs chemins se croisant régulièrement mais tous deux étant liés à quelqu'un d'autre mais depuis l'infidélité de Tom, ils ne se parlaient plus, bien qu'au final, cela ne la regardait pas. Or, la jeune femme va recevoir un dossier sur un ancien joueur de tennis que tous deux ont connu plus tôt et elle va reprendre contact avec Tom afin de lui demander conseil et surtout ce qu'elle doit en faire : vous imaginez que leurs retrouvailles ne vont pas être des plus réjouissantes, chacun étant en colère l'un contre l'autre. Mais comme les couples précédents, il y a une sorte d'ange qui souhaite leur bonheur et qui oeuvre en coulisse pour les réunir : Chloé veut voir son père heureux et il semblerait que Corey, qui était son mentor, intervienne de l'au-delà : mais comment vu qu'on n'est absolument pas dans un roman fantastique?
Tom et Mika saisiront-ils l'occasion qui leur est offerte de trouver le bonheur ensemble et de se pardonner mutuellement et de se pardonner aussi à eux-mêmes? Comment leurs proches vont-ils réagir? (Mika a une grande fille dorénavant avec qui elle entretient une relation quasi fusionnelle car elle l'a élevée seule) Comment vont-ils agir? Tom arrivera-t-il à se pardonner d'avoir trompé Genny et d'avoir fait souffrir sa famille? Qui a fait porter ce dossier mystérieux et que font-ils en faire? eh bien vous le saurez en lisant cet excellent tome de la série "River Rain", qui je l'espère, sera traduite un jour en français, tant elle est géniale.
J'ai reçu "Making the match" via Social Butterfly Pr que je remercie pour leur envoi en service presse : il est sorti le 20 septembre et vous pouvez retrouver les chroniques des tomes précédents sur le blog.
It was never meant to be . . . and then it was.
Making the Match, an all-new second chance, single parent, standalone romance full of heat and heart from New York Times bestselling author Kristen Ashley, is available now!
Decades ago, tennis superstar Tom Pierce and “It Girl” Mika Stowe met at a party.
Mika fell in love. Tom was already in love with his wife. As badly as Tom wanted Mika as a friend, Mika knew it would hurt too much to be attracted to this amazing man and never be able to have him.
They parted ways for what they thought would be forever, only to reconnect just once, when unspeakable tragedy darkens Mika’s life.
Years later, the impossible happens.
A time comes when they’re both unattached.
But now Tom has made a terrible mistake. A mistake so damaging to the ones he loves, he feels he’ll never be redeemed.
Mika has never forgotten how far and how fast she fell when she met him, but Tom’s transgression is holding her distant from reaching out.
There are matchmakers in their midst, however.
And when the plot has been unleashed to make that match, Tom and Mika are thrown into an international intrigue that pits them against a Goliath of the sports industry.
Now they face a massive battle at the same time they’re navigating friendship, attraction, love, family, grief, redemption, two very different lives lived on two opposite sides of a continent and a box full of kittens.
Mon avis : C'est simple, j'ai encore une fois adoré ce tome! Comme toujours, Kristen Ashley alterne les tranches d'âges des héros puisqu'ici, nous revenons aux parents donc nos personnages ont plus de la quarantaine, ont des enfants et une vie (parfois terrible) derrière eux. Et pourtant, ils sont tout aussi hot et sexy que des personnages plus jeunes, simplement, leurs préoccupations ne sont pas les mêmes.
Bien que je savais que Tom avait trahi Genny, de la manière dont l'auteure le faisait interagir aussi bien avec son ex qu'avec ses enfants, je me disais que, malgré tout, c'était un type bien et je ne me suis pas trompée : j'adore Tom. Alors, oui, il a trompé Genny et c'est mal MAIS il a payé le prix cher pour une erreur qu'il n'a pas su gérer : je vous laisse découvrir ce qu'il en est et depuis, il a peur de se rattacher et de faire le malheur d'une autre femme, surtout si cette dernière est Mika, la seule autre femme qui a compté pour lui avant qu'elle ne le rejette en raison de cette trahison.
Une fois encore, on le voit agir avec ses enfants, prendre sous son aile la fille de Milka, Cadence et gérer de main de maître le futur scandale qui se profile devant lui. J'ai adoré les interactions entre les différentes couples, familles, la manière dont il sert de père au fils de Corey, comment le passé et le présent se mêlent et comment Kristen Ashley fait même des clins d'oeil à sa série originale : les Rock Chick Nos héros sont parfaits sans être parfaits : ils aiment , font des erreurs, se trompent, souffrent mais ensemble, ils vont trouver le chemin du bonheur auquel ils ont droit.
J'ai aussi adoré les relations avec leurs enfants respectifs et l'évolution que cette relation a sur leur famille élargie : on découvre de nouveaux personnages, on suit les autres et bien sûr, il y a un fil conducteur : l'implication de Corey dans leur vie à tous alors qu'il est décédé. Là encore, si dès le départ, on a envie de le tuer, même s'il est déjà mort, plus les tomes avancent, plus l'on se dit qu'il e est bien plus que cela et qu'il joue les Cupidon de l'haut de là car il semble tout avoir prévu avant sa mort. J'espère que son homme de main. Rhys, aura son histoire car c'est un homme mystérieux et il a en lui le côté badass des héros de la série "Rock Chick" et surtout, il est celui sur qui l'on peut compter.
Bref, j'ai refermé le roman le sourire aux lèvres en me disant que cette auteure était vraiment très forte pour avoir retourné la situation et donné le bonheur, enfin, à un homme qui le mérite car au final, il n'est qu'humain et comme tout être humain, il fait des erreurs!
Vivement le prochain, j'ai hâte de retrouver tous ces personnages auxquels on s'attache tome après tome et je me répète, j'espère vraiment que cette série sera vraiment traduite en français car elle est vraiment excellente : c'est du grand Kristen Ashley!!

She looked beyond him and called, “Hey, Mom.” Suddenly, Tom felt like he’d been punched in the chest, his breath not coming easy. Dragging some in, he turned and saw Mika standing there. She was wearing a kaftan dress with a low V at the neck, draping sleeves and a string through an empire waist that gathered the material. The print on a black background was mostly reds, oranges and pinks with bright accents of green and blue and turquoise. She had some flat, embroidered mules on her feet. And her still-golden hair was up in a messy knot on top of her head. Even though she was dressed like she was hanging around the house, she wore makeup. Mostly neutral but with black cat’s-eye, drawing focus to her eyes and the startling sea-blue color of the iris. She had some delicate chain bracelets at her wrists and a number of piercings in her ears, with studs or small hoops running up the shell, and dangling beads coming from the lobe. She looked the picture of what a poet, photographer, novelist, filmmaker would look like. An easy style that was not unique, but she made it that way. She was also still one of the most attractive women he’d ever laid eyes on. In fact, he’d go so far as saying she was in the top two, vying for number one. “Tom,” she greeted. “Mika,” he replied, and then was surprised yet again in his short visit to her home.
He saw a soft pink rise in her cheeks, the kind a woman got when she felt nervous or didn’t know what to do with flattery, something he hadn’t offered, unless she caught it in his gaze. She looked to her daughter and ordered, “Scram, kid.”

She looked beyond him and called, “Hey, Mom.” Suddenly, Tom felt like he’d been punched in the chest, his breath not coming easy. Dragging some in, he turned and saw Mika standing there. She was wearing a kaftan dress with a low V at the neck, draping sleeves and a string through an empire waist that gathered the material. The print on a black background was mostly reds, oranges and pinks with bright accents of green and blue and turquoise. She had some flat, embroidered mules on her feet. And her still-golden hair was up in a messy knot on top of her head. Even though she was dressed like she was hanging around the house, she wore makeup. Mostly neutral but with black cat’s-eye, drawing focus to her eyes and the startling sea-blue color of the iris. She had some delicate chain bracelets at her wrists and a number of piercings in her ears, with studs or small hoops running up the shell, and dangling beads coming from the lobe. She looked the picture of what a poet, photographer, novelist, filmmaker would look like. An easy style that was not unique, but she made it that way. She was also still one of the most attractive women he’d ever laid eyes on. In fact, he’d go so far as saying she was in the top two, vying for number one. “Tom,” she greeted. “Mika,” he replied, and then was surprised yet again in his short visit to her home.
He saw a soft pink rise in her cheeks, the kind a woman got when she felt nervous or didn’t know what to do with flattery, something he hadn’t offered, unless she caught it in his gaze. She looked to her daughter and ordered, “Scram, kid.”
