About Birthday Girl

Good things come in extra-large, smoking hot birthday suits.

Bad boy Cohen James has screwed up yet again. Star forward of Minnesota’s pro hockey team, Cohen’s made a name for himself—and not in a good way. So, at the insistence of his agent, he’s stuck volunteering at the local YMCA teaching introductory adult swim lessons for ten weeks. Ten weeks of torture.

What he doesn’t expect is her.

Annie Plymouth, star pupil.

Her ruffled green bathing suit might be the most ridiculous thing he’s ever seen, but after a few heated breaststroke lessons and some intense mouth to mouth, Cohen’s ready to get her out of the water and into her birthday suit… except she has a different game plan.

Is the pair destined to sink… or can they swim?

Review

What do you do when your mother is getting married on a cruise ship and wants you to finally learn how to swim?

If you're Annie Plymouth you suck it up and cave to her demands.

When you've gained a reputation as a "bad boy" and your publicist tells you it's time to clean up your act?

If you're Cohen James you suck it up and do what it takes.

Neither expected the local YMCA to be the place where their whole lives would change.

But when life doesn't go quite as planned, will they stop long enough to think their way out of their relationship? Or will the realize they love each other and want to spend the good and the bad times together?

Birthday Girl is a fun, sexy, romantic love story that will grip you from page one until the fabulous end.

I love how Cohen never give up to get that first date, and after that date he knew he wanted Annie in his life for as long as she'd let him. And despite the fact that Annie has trust issues, Cohen doesn't pressure her move the relationship faster then she's ready for.

Annie is scared, a that is understandable, but she still takes the risk to see where a relationship with Cohen can go. She's smart, witty, sassy, and loyal. She's someone that the reader can relate to and would love to have as a friend.

The more I read from Lily Kate, the more in love I become with her words. Birthday Girl is a brilliant read that I didn't want to put down and slightly cried because I didn't want it to end. I love the passion, the thoughtfulness, the kindness, and the love that was contained between the pages. Cohen James is definitely a hero you want to swoon over and maybe even want to pretend to be drowning so that he can rescue you and give you mouth to mouth.

So if you need a romantic comedy that will have you laughing, crying, and falling in love, then I highly recommend you pick up Birthday Girl.

Exclusive Excerpt

I hate water.

Now, this hate is not a casual dislike of lakes, or even a modest mistrust of the ocean. It’s not even a slight hesitation to go swimming without a life jacket. No, my fear is all consuming. I am utterly, undeniably terrified of large bodies of water.

I’ve managed to get by so far in life without learning the art of the front crawl—it’s always “that time of the month” during pool parties. My gym teacher probably thought I had a chronic case of the flu thanks to my spectacular acting performances to avoid swim class. At home, I generally avoid taking baths because I’m terrified of falling asleep and drowning in my own tub, but showers work just fine.

My mother once tried to enroll me in swim lessons through the local community center, but I cried so hard that my teacher begged my mother to reconsider. Now that I’m twenty-two, she thinks enough time has passed to try again.

I’m as equally unenthusiastic as I was the first time around. The only difference is that this time, I can’t sob my way out of it.

“Dear, you need to face your fears,” my mother says again as I drag my feet into the locker room, dreading whatever the next hour will bring. “It’s for your safety.”

“Yeah, right.”

“What do you mean by that?” she snaps. “It is! I don’t want you to fall overboard after you’ve had one too many margaritas and die, Annie. Not on my wedding cruise. You’re the maid of honor for crying out loud.”

“Right, and it’d be really inconvenient to plan a funeral from your honeymoon.”

“We love you,” she says. “Claude and I care for your safety.”

“Claude calls me Amanda. He doesn’t care about my survival.”

She huffs, but doesn’t reply. She’s run out of arguments, I guess, which is just fine with me since I don’t want to discuss this any longer. I’m angry enough standing here at eight a.m. on a Saturday morning, in the middle of a late February snowstorm, freezing my ass off in a lime-green bathing suit.

Release Blitz & Review ~ Boss Girl, Minnesota Ice #1, by Lily Kate

Boss Girl

A Minnesota Ice Series Novel

Author: Lily Kate

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Release Date: August 29, 2017

Blurb

Good things come in extra-tall, smoking hot stilettos.

Things like Jocelyn Jones.

Jocelyn “Ice Queen” Jones is the hottest agent in town, and I’m determined to make her mine. My agent, that is. She’s the best at what she does, which is why I’m intent on keeping our relationship strictly platonic, even if the sexual tension between us is thick enough to slice with a skate. After all, I already have a woman in my life. My daughter, Charli, and we’re not sure if there’s room for someone else.

Until Jocelyn Jones breaks all the rules. She lets her icy exterior begin to melt, treating me to a view no man has ever seen before. Suddenly, I’m no longer certain if I want to be on her roster, or in her bed—for good.

Tangling business with pleasure has never been on the agenda. Then again, neither has falling in love.

They say it’s bad business to sleep with the boss.

But they haven’t met Jocelyn Jones.

Review

When I first read this blurb I thought "Wow this sounds like something I would like" and now that I've read it, I can't get enough of it. I read it from cover to cover  in one sitting and loved every juicy minute of it.

Jocelyn is a woman in a man's world and because of it she's had to appear stand offish. She may have an "Ice Queen" reputation, but she works hard and gives her all to her clients. Now she's after the catch of catches, Landon Boxer.

Landon is a simple man and his number one priority is his adorable daughter. His career is important but it's not his whole world. His agent is retiring and he's fielding calls from every agent trying to sign him, but Jocelyn Jones is one agent that gets under his skin and he can't stay away.

Mixing business and pleasure has never been Jocelyn's thing but Boxer makes her want to break all the rules. And the more time they spend together, them more she wants to be with him and his daughter. Can these two find a way to make their personal relationship work along side their business relationship? Or will they have to choose one over the other? Or worse lose them both?

Boss Girl is a fun, humorous, sexy read that captives the reader and leaves them satisfied and with a smile. I love a strong, independent heroine that isn't afraid to stand up for herself. A hero that knows what's important in life and does whatever it takes to preserve it.

The chemistry between Jocelyn and Boxer is phenomenal and I loved their banter. What I love most about them is their slow burn, they take the time to get to know each other before jumping into bed.

Charli is priceless and really delightful. I loved her sweetness and innocence, she's steals the show.

I enjoyed Boss Girl and highly recommend you pick up this enchanting book.
