Kissable You

As they say, so many books, so little time. Enjoy them!

Impossible to resist

When the hot new handyman seems interested in the cool, sophisticated executive, what will the office gossips say?

Irresistible You by Simona Taylor is live online!

Cover image of Irresistible You by Simona Taylor featuring a beautiful platinum blond woman in executive wear exchanging flirty looks with the handyman.
I wouldn’t be able to resist him, either!

Jenessa’s Secret Santa has a crush. That’s the only explanation. Why else would he be sending her such naughty, lavish presents? A book of sexy poems that leaves her squirming in her seat. Scented body oil that glides along her skin like a lover’s touch. Her favorite lipstick in a shade that makes it look like she’s begging for a kiss.

Yep. Santa has her attention, all right.

As it turns out, Santa Baby is not who she expected. It’s none other than Mitchell, the new head of maintenance. Tall, hot and hazel-eyed, he’s not afraid to let her know he’s interested. He also knows how to rock a pair of jeans!

Jenessa’s intrigued, and more than a little turned on. A short, passionate office fling with this dreamy-eyed single dad? Could be fun—but potentially fatal to her career. After all, she’s a high-powered executive with an eye on the VP’s chair, and he’s … a glorified handyman. Opposites attract, but what would the office gossips say?

(Note: Irresistible You was originally published as The Irresistible Mr. Cooper in 2020.)

Falling for the Bartender

A Small Town Romance in France (The third book in the Missed Opportunities Romance series by Leigh Jenkins) 

Yay for another success by one of my favorite editing clients! Hovering over 4 1/2 stars just one week into release!

Regina

When I spotted the hot bartender next door, I didn’t intend to start an actual fire!

My first night in France and I nearly burn down my new café…

Cue my door being knocked down and me being tossed over the (very broad) shoulders of a hot mystery man.

Turns out he’s the hunky owner of the Aussie bar next door!

I refuse to be distracted – I’ve got cakes to bake and a TV Queen to impress.

Doesn’t help that Zander is strong, capable, kind and entirely too easy on the eyes.

But maybe a girl CAN have her cake and eat it too…

Check out Falling for the Bartender here on Amazon.

The Unbearable Weirdness of Doing Nothing

Roslyn's zentangle
Roslyn’s Zentangle

Not trying to humblebrag, but I nearly worked myself to death in 2021. Long strings of 7-day work weeks, coupled with managing a home where two teens were stranded and stuck in online schooling hell thanks to COVID. So in that lethargic, otherworldly limbo between Christmas and New Year’s, I decided to take a vacation.

Or, rather, a hiatus, since I went nowhere. And surprisingly, it was harder than I thought. At least at the start.

Day One: Yeah! A whole week off! I deserve this!

Days Two and Three: Do nothing? Seriously? How can I just lie around and not work? If I don’t work, who am I? How do I exist when not at my desk? Am I even ME?

Yep, full-blown existential crisis.

Day Four: I begin marathon-watching two of my old favourites, The Office and Monk. I buy coffee Haagen-Dazs to put in my ice cream. I seriously contemplate bathing all four of my dogs, but I lie down until the feeling passes. I do walk them, though, so stop judging me.

A neighbour intercepts me mid-walk to give me a nicely wrapped box of chocolates, so SCORE!

Days Five and Six: TV marathon in full swing. I have a swim in my neighbour’s pool. We order out so I don’t have to cook. Domino’s cinnastix become my best friend. I take up zentangles again, a hobby I loved but let lapse in the past year. See the one up there? Yeah, that’s mine.

Day Seven: I can’t believe an entire week has passed! Do I really have to go back to my desk?

Yes. Yes I do. I’m awakened at the crack by a yowling cat to rescue a lizard she has stashed under my bed. Great way to start the week.

And here I am. Let’s make it a good year, folkses.
