Time for a wrap up of my author friend’s new releases for June 2022
It feel like I just did the monthly wrap up but here we go again. Here are some of the books my author friends have released this past month. They’re in varying genres and some are sweet and some have heat, so be sure to check those details for yourself.
HEROES WITH HEAT AND HEART IS LIVE! 
Hitched to the Rockstar: A rockstar secret marriage romance
Urgently needed! A fast marriage and a reputation overhaul for three gorgeous bachelors out to impress. Happily-ever-afters unintentionally included.
Tori
A Vegas pre-wedding celebration with my sister, who I lovingly refer to as Bridezilla, was meant to be a chance for her to be the centre of attention all weekend. I chose dowdy outfits, made sure to focus all my attention on her, and even dragged along the huge wedding planning folder for us to pore over every day. If thereās an award for sister-of-the-year, itās guaranteed to be mine.
The holy trinity of one too many critiques of my permanently single status, her need to prove to me that Iām not very lovable, and the arrival of a sexy saviour at the bar one night lead to an unexpected wedding and a promise to spend two weeks in Action Valley, far from Bridezilla and her constant demands.
Action Valley is possibly the most laid back place on earth but it turns out Iāve married the most uptight rockstar on the planet, with a point to prove to his dad. How will he react when he finds out what I do for a living? Because I know his dad wonāt approve, and Iād really like to keep my rockstar.
Jagger
Another number one smash hit album release. Another Vegas celebration. What can I say? The band and I are creatures of habit. We party in Sin City regularly, always blasting in and leaving the same way. No commitments. No ties. Not ever.
Except that this year Iāve arrived in Vegas with an ulterior motive. I need to find me a bride to take home to my parents for two weeks of getting-in-their-good-books, and where else do you woo a woman on short notice? Mom only turns seventy once, and my dad will kick my ass if I donāt make it special for her. Iāve never had his approval before, so Iām not sure why I think I can win it now, but whatās more special than a new sensible bride and the inference that grandchildren could finally be on the way?
Too bad my new dowdy bride turns out to be a fun-loving, banter-filled vixen, instead of the plain Jane I thought would impress my dad with her sweetness.
Now Iāve got two goals. Get dad off my back, and get the delectable Tori into my bed.
Getting hitched at first sight has never been so enticing.
