Dog-Eared Daydreams

The Best Men by Sarina Bowen & Lauren Blakely Release Date: January 18, 2022 About The Best Men Bestselling authors Sarina Bowen and Lauren Blakely team up for the first time in an enemies-to-lovers, opposites-attract, irresistibly sexy standalone romance between the best man and the other best man! In my defense, I was left alone with a bottle of single-malt and a life-long penchant for protecting my baby sister. Still, that's no excuse to send ten drunk-texts on why her hasty marriage would be a mistake. If only I had just texted my sister. But nope. I accidentally sent the message to her, her groom, and his super hot wingman. I also used the phrase “super hot wingman,” so I’d like to die now. Instead, I have to plan a wedding with the aforementioned hottie and share a too-small guesthouse in steamy Miami. Three days in the sun with the cocky, charming former athlete who likes to push my buttons? Fine, two can play at that let’s-infuriate-each-other game. Un

Until a very real baby scare threatens to bring it all crashing down. Dash Kingston has learned his lesson and knows his hard-partying lifestyle needs to change. To clean up his playboy image, he needs a fake girlfriend. There’s just one problem: the perfect woman for the job is a gorgeous blonde who once aroused not just his body but his emotions, sending him running. And leaving her to wake up alone. For the band’s sake, Cassidy Forrester agrees to play the girlfriend role, but she’s not going to fall for Dash’s charm or sex appeal ever again.

Note: An advance reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Wildfire Marketing Solutions. Just One Spark is the fourth book in Carly Phillips's Kingston Family series, and this time around, we've got Dash Kingston's story. Dash is the youngest brother among the five siblings, and he also happens to be the most famous among them. He's the lead singer of the Original Kings, and he's more than enjoyed what stardom has brought him. That is until a one-night stand got pregnant and named him as her baby's father. The scandal may be the one thing that knocks some sense into Dash, making him realize that he needs to get his life in order. The suggestion of entering into a relationship with a fake girlfriend sounds like it may do the trick, but the best woman for the job, Cassidy Forrester, may not be all that willing to help--not when Dash hurt her not too long ago, and not when Cass is the band's drummer's sister. This is a rock star romance with a hi
