About HONOR
A
high school reunion is about to get down and dirty and a whole lot more
complicated in this new romantic suspense from USA Today Bestselling
Author Kennedy Layne.
Derek
Spencer hadn't even bothered to RSVP to his Catfish Creek's high school
reunion. He'd been too busy fighting a war in Afghanistan in his
capacity as a Marine and wouldn't even be in the States during the
event. Unfortunately, one emergency phone call from his mother changed
everything.
Tessa
Daniels had been voted most likely to do everything back in high
school. She somehow didn't think that included acquiring her very own
stalker at the relatively young age of twenty-eight. It had stopped
being simply annoying after someone broke into her house, invading her
privacy. Now, she was actually in fear for her life.
Derek's
mother feels terrible that her son has spent almost every waking hour
at the hospital, watching over his recovering father. She sets out--and
succeeds--in arranging for Derek and Tessa to attend their high school
reunion together. Neither one of them expected sparks to fly or memories
of long-lost crushes to emerge, but they are not only faced with their
newfound passion...they must also confront the person trying to
extinguish their chance to rekindle the flames of past desires.

EXCERPT
Derek stood in the doorway wearing only his
formal black pants, holding a wooden tray that contained a plate with two
pieces of French toast covered in syrup with powdered sugar sprinkled over
them. Next to the white porcelain dish were two cups of coffee and a small bowl
of fresh, homemade fruit salad he’d cut up from Tessa’s selection in the
kitchen. He leaned against the doorframe as he took another moment to come to
terms with what happened last night, willing the tension to leave his body.
He’d been honest with Tessa from the very
start. She understood that he had to go back to his unit in Afghanistan,
leaving him only one more week at home. He’d accepted the limits he could
provide to any woman a long time ago. This time was no different… only harder.
Why, then, was he still here?
Tessa’s bedroom held the faintest scent of
her perfume, but it was enough to beckon him to enter. Derek couldn’t resist
the welcoming fragrance. He pushed off the doorframe with his shoulder and
stepped over the threshold. He fought the impression that he’d actually crossed
into something more than a mere room. It was her lair.
Tessa was still in the position he’d left
her in— lying facedown in the middle of the bed covered in rumpled sheets while
her long black halo fanned out over her pillow. Her hand was tucked underneath
her cheek as the sunshine kissed her bare shoulder. She was sleeping
peacefully, and he’d contemplated leaving her a note upon awakening, going so
far as to thank her for last night and promising to keep in touch before
walking out her front door. The thing of it was… he couldn’t bring himself to
do that. He found that he could barely leave her bed to make them both some
breakfast.
He’d gone and fucked himself and his heart
over by allowing himself to be with his childhood’s unattainable beauty. She
was his personal version of a unicorn.
Derek couldn’t prevent himself from
reaching out, tenderly moving a flyaway strand so that it blended with the
others. Maybe it was time to make some concessions, without altering too much
of the original agreed upon provisions. He didn’t question why his chest
tightened at the fluttering of her long lashes. Searching for an answer he
didn’t want would get him nowhere.

About DROPOUT
A high school reunion is about to get down and dirty and a whole lot more complicated in this new erotic romance from NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan.
Grayson
Cleary left town before graduation day and never looked back. Most
people back home pegged him as a dropout. Over time, he’s worked to make
something of his life and leave his past behind, so when his ten-year
reunion comes up, he has no intention of attending. When his best friend
begs him to go, Grayson finds himself confronted with a past he’d
rather forget and the one woman he’s always craved.
Kate
St. Dalton had everything when she left her hometown. Not only was she
Valedictorian with a full scholarship, but she was also engaged to the
boy of her dreams. Then, life threw a wrench in her plans, and she had
to find a way to live the new life fate handed her. The last thing she
needs is the hot boy from high school returning to town as the sexy man
of her dreams.
When
the two take a chance and use the reunion week to burn up the sheets,
they’ll have to remember that it’s only for a few nights—not for a
lifetime. And decide if what they have is just a fling…or something far
more than a mere reunion.

EXCERPT
Kate didn’t know what to say, so she did
the only thing she could— she wiggled out of his hold and straddled his lap,
pressing a soft kiss to his lips.
Grayson’s eyes darkened, and he palmed her
butt, his hands big enough to cover most of her. “You know, if I thought my sad
story would have ended up with this reaction, I’d have told you earlier.”
Kate pushed at his shoulder. “Oh, stop. I’m
honored you told me, Grayson. I’m so pissed off that you went through that and
that I was so self-centered I didn’t know.”
He squeezed her butt. “We didn’t run in the
same circles, and while others were shitty to me, you were always nice. You
cared even when you had so much on your plate. I had such a damned crush on
you, and you never made me feel beneath you.”
She lowered her head. “I wish I would have
known about you. Or at least known more.”
He lifted her chin with his finger. “We
found each other now, Kate. That’s good enough. No use looking into the past
when we can’t change it.”
She blinked back tears for him, for her,
for everything they would lose when the week was over. “It’s reunion weekend,
Grayson, looking into the past is what we do.”
He shook his head. “Others might, but I’m
looking at you right now, and that’s my present.” He kissed her softly. “Damn
shame the future’s about to hit us square in the face, but I’m not letting
myself worry about that when I have you in my arms. You’re my present, Kate,
just like I’m yours.” He cupped her cheeks with his hands and kissed her a bit
harder. “I don’t want to leave,” he whispered, his voice hoarse. “Not tonight,
not on Sunday night.”
A tear slid down her cheek. “I can’t think
about Sunday, but you don’t have to go tonight.” He kissed her again, and she
fell against him, knowing if she thought too much about what was to come after
he left, she’d break.
She’d done the worst thing she could have
on reunion weekend.
She’d found the one thing she’d missed out
on when it should have mattered, and now she knew if she didn’t find a way to
stop time, she’d miss out on him all over again.

This whole series just excited the hell
out of me. I mean not only do we get some great authors all sharing this theme
we also get what sounds like some great characters and the potential for a
whole heap of drama and excitement.
Naturally I had to jump at the chance to
read Prom Queen by Katee Robert and I was far from disappointed. It obviously
had all the smoking hot sex scenes and awesome character development that I
have come to expect from the author. It also had a lot of emotion that to be
honest I really wasn't expecting in a novel of this size.
Overall I really loved the characters,
the theme worked to perfection for me and the whole thing has just made me even
more excited for the other books in the series.
Loved it.
