JOY RIDE is coming May 1!
JOY STICK, my hot & hilarious male POV standalone Romantic Comedy releasing May 1st, is now titled JOY RIDE! Same great storyline — just a title tweak. Here’s why: one of the things I try to continually do is listen to my readers and really take their feedback into account. Upon reflection of the feedback I was receiving, I realized the title JOY RIDE gives the reader a better picture and description of who Max is and what he does — building custom cars with class & sophistication. This sexy, dirty-talking man loves his cars and making sure everyone who gets a ride from him is oh-so-satisfied! So warm up your engines and get ready to take a joy ride on the Max-mobile, ladies. JOY RIDE is going to make you purr… The audiobook will be narrated by Sebastian York!

Cover reveal! THE WILD ONE!
What do you think of this cover? And here’s the blurb! I’m so excited about this story coming in July! Just read the blurb! Can’t wait to hear what you think! Preorder links everywhere but Kindle can be found below: A sexy new standalone romance from #1 New York Times Bestselling author Lauren Blakely! **** There are four words every guy wants to hear on the first date — “your place or mine?” That’s why when my hot-as-sin co-worker makes me a no-strings-attached offer that involves her place, my place, any place — as well as any position — I can’t refuse. After all, my job is like a coach and my goal is to help my fellow man figure out how to score a woman. My latest assignment for the good of mankind? Create a fail-safe, 100% battle-tested, proven list of what to do or say to get a woman to fall into your bed — I mean, fall for you. So when Nicole says she’s game to work through my list in a hands-on way, I take her up on her deal even with her one BIG condition. There’s no way I’ll want more from one woman than any position, any where, any night? Except . . . what if I do? **** There are three little words most guys don’t want to hear on the first date. Not those… I mean these… “knock me up.” This single gal has had enough of the games, the BS and the endless chase. I know what I want most, and it’s not true love. It’s a bun in the oven, and I’m not afraid to hit up my sex-on-a-stick co-worker to do the job. Ryder is gorgeous, witty and wild — and he’s also a notorious commitment-phobe. That makes him the perfect candidate to make a deposit in the bank of me. I won’t fall for him, he won’t fall for me, and there’s no way baby will make three. Right?

It’s Release Day for The HOT ONE RELEASE!
I am so excited that THE HOT ONE is here! It’s my sexy, swoony second-chance standalone romance, and it’s available everywhere! **** Ever notice that sometimes a guy will do something really stupid, like let the love of his life slip through his fingers? Yeah. I’m that guy. But the instant I run into her again I’ve got one goal and one goal only—a second chance. The plan? Go big or go home. Fine, at first glance, stripping naked at my ex-girlfriend’s place of work might not seem like the brightest way to win her heart again. But trust me on this count—she always liked me best without any clothes on. And sometimes you’ve got to play to your strengths when you’re fighting an uphill battle. As a lawyer, I know how to fight, and I’m prepared to fight hard for her. Because sometimes you need a second chance at first love. He’s the one who got away . . . The nerve of Tyler Nichols to reappear like that at my job, showing off his rock-hard body that drove me wild far too many nights. That man with his knowing grin and mischievous eyes is nothing but a cocky jerk to saunter back into my life. Except, what if he’s not . . .? I’ve tried like hell to forget him, but maybe I’m cursed to remember the guy I fell madly in love with eight years ago. Lord knows I’m not over him, so what’s the harm in giving him a week to prove he’s changed in the ways that matter? After all, how do you resist the hot one . . .?

JOY STICK is all wrapped up!!!
The draft of JOY STICK is done! I can’t wait for you all to meet sexy, growly Max Summers on May 1st! Here’s the prologue! *** Here’s something I want to know. Why the fuck does the term guilty pleasure even exist? If something brings you pleasure, don’t feel guilty. Case closed. But let’s just be perfectly clear—I’m not talking about stuff a dude should feel ten tons of remorse about. Like, being a dick to your boss or cheating on your woman. If that kind of shit brings you pleasure, then may all the guilt from the skies rain down on you, along with golfball-sized hail and toads too. What I don’t get is why people feel bad about the good stuff in life they enjoy. Buying that pool table just because it looks fucking awesome in your living room. Or drinking the eighteen-year-old Scotch one night after a long day fixing an engine on a Mustang, instead of waiting for a special occasion to crack open the bottle. Screw that. Life is short. Savor it now. Hell, if it floats your boat to sink into a steaming hot bubble bath every so often, then turn the water up high and toss a bath bomb into the claw-foot tub. Not that I do that. Hell, I don’t even know what a bath bomb is. And I absolutely, positively did not use the zingy lemongrass scented one the other night. The type that fizzes. I don’t have a clue why it’s missing from the cabinet. Let’s just talk about something else besides guilty pleasure bubble baths, OK? In any case, I say indulge. Yeah, my pool table rocks, and so does the Scotch. But hands down, my favorite indulgence happens to be the one-night stand. What? Like that’s such a crime? Nothing wrong with a night of round-the-clock fun of the X-rated variety. Besides, when I take a woman home for a one-and-done fiesta of five-star fucking, I’m honest about my intentions. I never promise more than I can deliver. But what I do serve up—in extra large quantities, thank you very much—is a fantastic time between the sheets with no strings attached when the sun comes up. I’ve never felt guilty about this pleasure either, and that’s because I maintain a few key guidelines when it comes to my favorite horizontal hobby. Don’t be an asshole. Always be a gentleman. And never sleep with the enemy. Now, about that last rule . . . don’t break it. Don’t bend it. Don’t even dip your toe on the other side. Trust me on this. As soon as I realized I wanted a whole helluva lot more than one time with a certain sexy brunette, I went on to shatter that last guideline in spectacular fashion. That’s how I wound up on the side of the road with a brand new tattoo, a wrecked electric blue roadster, and a pet monkey to show for it. Yes, I said pet monkey. And that’s a big fucking problem for the King of Pleasure. Preorder today!
