So guys, the early reviews have been amazing! I’ve got a few of my favorite highlights here, but definitely stop over to the TOUCH & GO page on Goodreads and see for yourself. Some of these reviewers are awesomely creative and have a crazy knack for finding perfect Gifs for certain scenes–so SUPER FUN!

How about a little taste:
Ava was giving it her college best, really she was, but there was no stopping the freak-out in progress.
Sam was kissing her.
His lips were on hers in a soft press that, based on its closed-mouth properties alone, should have been benign. But this was Sam. And he was in strict violation of a no-fly zone their friendship never breached. Sure, she and Sam were touchy-feely friends of the highest order. He always had an arm around her. Her legs draped over his. Something. She was a cuddler, so contact in and of itself was no big thing. But there were lines friends didn’t cross. Lines that started above the knee and ended bellow the belly button. Panty lines. Bust lines. And most importantly, lip lines. Which meant the intimacy of that taboo contact, even as chaste as it was—well, it was crossing wires Ava had spent twenty years trying to keep straight.
So the freak-out?
Yeah, it was on.
Because now how was she supposed to look at Sam’s hands without thinking of them warm at the sides of her face as he lowered his mouth to hers? How was she going to look into his eyes without seeing that last instant when they dropped to her lips? And how the heck was she supposed to look at that gorgeous, easy smile of his and hide the fact that after twenty years of wondering what his kiss would taste like, she wished the only one they were likely to share through the course of their entire lives had lasted just a little longer, gone a bit deeper, been a smidge more real?
BLOG TOUR:
The tour runs February 9th to March 6th and is loaded with good stuff including excerpts, giveaways, chatty chat chat, and a whole lot more. Don’t miss a single stop! http://www.tastybooktours.com/2014/12/touch-go-dare-to-love-2-by-mira-lyn.html
Okay, and that’s about all I’ve got for now, lol.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
But since my computer’s time/date display never lies, I’m thinking I better hit this brand spankin’ new year with a fresh list of resolutions. So here it goes…
Spend more time with my family and friends—love these guys!!
Build a usable ice rink in the back yard—I swear we’re halfway there. We just need to overcome the slope issue. It can be done.
Get more books to my awesome readers—don’t worry, I’ve got a plan
Diversify my TBR pile—just a smidge *clings to my sizzly selection of hot romances*
Offer more regular updates on my website and newsletter—I mean *I* know what’s going on with all the books and series stuff…so sharing might be a good thing, yes?
Make a healthy lifestyle a higher priority—I suppose if I want to be taken seriously on this, then maybe I should move it up the list, lol!

Okay, so here’s what’s coming up next…
TOUCH & GO (Dare to Love #2—Sam & Ava) is available for preorder now and releases February 17. And guys, the early reviews on this one have been so great!! Can’t wait for you all to get a chance to read it. How about a look at the blurb??
Ava Meyers is living her dream life, except for one thing: Ever since childhood, she’s been in love with her best friend . . . and she’s never admitted it. Back then, Sam Farrow was a damaged young man with a tough past. Now he’s supremely confident, super-sexy, and totally untouchable—until the night when Sam pretends to be Ava’s boyfriend to save her from some unwanted attention. In a moment of weakness, Ava finds out that a long friendship is no match for blistering sexual chemistry.
After years of denying his own feelings, Sam finds that one amazing night with Ava isn’t enough to chase away all the pent-up fantasies. So he proposes they spend a few weeks driving each other wild, exhausting their every desire, and then return to their perfect platonic relationship like nothing ever happened. But Sam’s plan has one fatal flaw: the part where they give each other up. Because the more they let go of their inhibitions, the more they’re tempted to never go back.

Almost here...
will be out! I couldn't be more excited to be a part of Harlequin's new line KISS and especially to have WAKING UP MARRIED offered as the free full-book sampler to help introduce the line. It's already available for preorder on Amazon and come December 1, will be available through tryharlequin.com, Barns and Noble, and more.
Here's the teaser:
Her first thought: "Who are you?"
It's the morning after her cousin's bachelorette party in Vegas and Megan Scott wakes up with the mother of all hangovers. Even worse, she's in a stranger's penthouse having woken up with something else as well—a funny, arrogant, sexy…husband!
Up until now, finding even a boyfriend had seemed impossible—been there, got the broken heart, sworn off men for good. Then a few martinis with Carter…no, Connor Reed and she's gone from first meet to marriage in one night!
Megan wants a lawyer. But Connor's shocking bombshell?
"I don't want a divorce."

Hope you like!!

NEVER STAY PAST MIDNIGHT-When a one-night stand just won't quit
Never Stay Past Midnightis available at Harlequin, Amazon, and Barns&Noble as ebook and will be on the print shelves in about another week. This was one's set in my hometown of Chicago and features Levi (a nightclub developer) and Elise (a wannabe yogilates studio owner)--two characters with goals that don't align. At least, not for anything more than a single night's exception to a rule they both know better than to break! From the back cover:
“You are so wrong for me.”
Levi had to agree—he was. He was leaving Chicago in a few short weeks. He didn’t do commitment—ever. But everything about this night, this girl, was so good. So right. Until at 11:59p.m. she got out of his bed, got dressed and left!
It seemed Mr. Levi-and-Leave-Them might have found the one woman to leave him begging for more…
Of course I couldn't let them end it as easily as that. Not a couple with chemistry so hot as these two have. No way. So throw in a chance meeting, some key family members catching wind of the recent elicit goings-on, and the kind of attraction that supersedes all good judgement and honorable intention...
Well, this book was a lot of fun to write! Hope you'll give it a try and let me know what you think :-)
Excerpt:
"You did it in a car!"
A week already and still with this.
Elise pushed a windblown curl from her brow and stared, disbelieving, across the hood of the Volvo Wagon at her sister. "That is not an explanation for setting me up on a blind date. Which, incidentally, I can't believe you're dropping on me the same hour you stick me with babysitting Bruno, the puppy beast. There's got to be a rule about that or something."
It should have been a perfect day. Following a pre-dawn rain, the sun shone bright against a vivid blue sky dotted with cotton-ball clusters of pure white. It was the first she'd had off in two weeks, and she'd intended to spend at least a piece of it jogging the lakefront paths. She hadn't even made it past Burnham Harbor when her phone rang, and her sister's latest emergency sidelined her at the entrance to Soldiers Field—where she stood now, withering on the receiving end of her sister's caustic glare.
Ally Porter-Davis shook her head, disappointment coloring her words. "A car, Elise."
Yes, well, more accurately, she'd done it in a bed. And then a car. And then against the door just inside her apartment. But somehow she didn't think the clarification would win her any points.
"The car part was an accident?"
Ally's brow arched impossibly high. "An accident? Like he, what, just fell in?"
Cheeks flaming, Elise shook her head. "No! Like I wasn't planning for it to happen again…we were at a stoplight and he asked how long I'd lived in the neighborhood and when I looked back at him to answer…" She closed her eyes, awash in the heat of that moment, the look in his eyes when they'd skimmed down her body; the feel of those big hands pulling her over him left her shuddering—
"That! Right there." Ally rounded the back end, tapping her fingers against the backseat window as she passed. "That look and—and full body meltdown—that's the reason I'm setting you up. You need a man. A relationship with someone nice and reliable. Someone you can lean on. Not some thanks-for-the-free-ride-in-my-car guy you're too ashamed to give me the name of either."
"I don't need anyone. And, nice try, but I'm not giving you his name because you'd have him Googled and the whole sordid scenario up on Facebook with six of your mommy-and-me compadres posting comments in less than an hour's time."
"Excuses." Ally popped the trunk and took a step back as her six-month-old Great Dane bounded free of his confine, spun around with a frighteningly exuberant bark, and then lunged, pinning Elise to the passenger side door. "And about Bruno. Thanks for bailing me out with him. You were the only one I could ask."
The wind knocked effectively from her lungs, Elise stared down at the two saucer-sized puppy paws, planted dead center over her breasts. Shooting an accusing look at her sister, she wheezed, "You are so on my list."
Ally waved her off, closing the trunk with her hip. "Your 'So hip-deep in trouble' list?"
For crying out loud. Well, if she broke it down to the acronym, then yeah. This was what happened when people had babies and they struggled with creative ways to stop swearing. "That's the one."
"He's a puppy. You can't put him on your list."
As if. Bruno might be the one feeling her up, but it was Ally who'd dropped not one bomb, but two on her today. "I'm not talking about Bruno. I'm talking about you!"
