Reading is one of my favorite pastimes and now that David purchased a Tablet for me I’m able to read free books from Kindle I find on Amazon on my tablet. I thought you might want to check out the books I will be reading this week.
Flirting with the Playboy: A Workplace Romantic Comedy (Harbor Highlands Series) by Gia Stevens (Author)

A spicy workplace, dating app standalone novel by romantic comedy author Gia Stevens…
Flirting with the sexy stranger on a dating app was easy.
Finding out the sexy stranger is also the office playboy…
I wasn’t expecting that.
They don’t call Bennett Pierce the office playboy for nothing. The parade of women through his doorway makes me want to dry-heave. Sure, he looks as if he strolled off the page of a male fashion magazine, but his personality is anything but desirable.
But after catching my ex cheating on a dating app and Bennett witnessing my very public breakup, his offer of margaritas is too hard to pass up. Tequila didn’t make my clothes fall off, but it did lead to one scorching hot kiss.
Instantly, I regret it but an unexpected message on the dating app distracts me from too much self-loathing. And when the friendly banter quickly turns into steamy flirting, Bennett Pierce is one swipe right forgotten.
And when we finally meet, I realize…
I’ve been flirting with the playboy.
Flirting with the Playboy is a fast-paced, workplace, enemies to lovers romcom. Be prepared to laugh-out-loud one minute and swoon the next in this steamy standalone romantic comedy. Each book in the Harbor Highlands Series is set in the same world with a guaranteed happily ever after.

The Bridal Shop (Book 1 of 4: The Rose Sisters by Sienna Carr (Author)

Sisters. Weddings. Secrets.
Fed up with being known as the oldest and most responsible of the Rose sisters, Ashleigh yearns for the life not lived and longs to strike out on her own so that she can regain the dreams of her past; the ones she abandoned in order to take care of her sisters and the bridal shop her mother started.
Now, at the age of forty-three, two decades after the trajectory of her life was cruelly thwarted, she is filled with regret and is busy making new plans.
But these have to take a back seat because Ginny, the youngest sister, is getting married and Eloise is, well, not so reliable.
There’s also the small problem of a former lover returning and threatening to recapture her heart.
Discover what happens at The Bridal Shop, a wedding dress boutique run by three sisters. A place where dreams begin.
THE BRIDAL SHOP is Book 1 in THE ROSE SISTERS series.
WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR: a nostalgic romantic comedy (Boston Classics) Part of: Boston Classics (4 books) by Karen Grey (Author)

The course of true love never did run smooth.
Like, for real, dude.
When a socially awkward finance-hotshot—aka me—grudgingly walks into Boston’s famous Cheers bar to do happy hour with the insufferably misogynistic guys from work, I don’t expect the cute bartender to salvage the rest of my never-ending workday with a cleverly disguised mocktail.
I especially don’t expect him to talk Shakespeare to me.
Fate keeps bringing us together, just like the star-crossed couples in the plays Will loves to quote. But while the chemistry between us may be stronger than a stiff Cape Codder, it’s clear that on paper, the math doesn’t add up.
I can’t help wondering if we’re capable of an ending happier than Romeo and Juliet’s. He’s living in a dream world while my feet are planted firmly on the ground, and I can’t risk my heart again on a guy who’ll bail when the going gets rough.
Even if he does rescue me from a murderous juggling clown.
Fans of Lucy Score and Meghan Quinn will love this smart, feel-good, sweet-and-sexy romcom set in the late 1980’s—an era of big hair and bigger egos.
