Fans of Lauren Weisberger and Emily Henry won’t want to miss this funny, sexy, and emotional novel that looks at modern relationships, modern choices, and redefining—not to mention rebranding—your dreams, through the eyes of an Instagram influencer. “Themes of personal choice and female empowerment underscore this tender rom-com from Guertin… A cast of wonderful supporting characters, led by spunky Addie, add authenticity and tug at the heartstrings. Readers will be charmed.” —Publishers Weekly A PopSugar Beach Reads Selection A BookBub Best Book of June In this #funny, #wise, #emotionally compelling look at modern love and finding your true path, a proudly kid-free influencer meets the ultimate #dealbreaker . . . It’s the influencer’s golden rule: know your niche. Kit Kidding has found hers on Instagram, where she gets paid to promote brands and share expertly curated posts about her fun, fabulous, child-free life. Kit likes kids just fine, but she passionately believes that women who choose not to become mothers shouldn’t have to face guilt. Or judgement. Or really hot chefs who turn out to be single dads. Will MacGregor is aggravating, sexy, persistent, averse to social media, and definitely a bad idea. As soon as Kit learns his parenting status, she vows to put their scorching one-night stand behind her and move on. But Will and Kit are thrown together on an Instagram campaign, and the more time she spends with him—and his whip-smart, eight-year-old daughter, Addie—the more difficult it is to stay away, much less sustain what Will so cleverly calls her “Resting Beach Face.” Kit’s picture-perfect career path is suddenly clashing with the possibility of a different future—messy, complicated, and real. Which life does she truly want? Will she have to re-invent herself? And will love still be waiting by the time she figures it out?

Who I Killed at Camp Last Summer
Author: Thomas Kaminski
Publisher: Black Bed Sheet Books
ISBN: 1946874450
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
Who I Killed at Camp Last Summer takes a first-person approach to the slasher genre, entirely from the killer’s perspective. It centers on a pair of horror-fanatic siblings, Ashley and Alex Byer, who attend a two-week summer camp with their school. The outlook of their adventure turns grim, however, when campers start dying in supposed accidents. The deaths are reminiscent of a previous camp, which got decimated by another killer some twenty years before. Soon many campers die, and no one is safe, as an old evil seems to have returned. This unique tale plays with the typical horror summer camp tropes and uses them in new and fun ways, while also touching on difficult human issues such as depression, identity, and the struggle of belonging, in a way no reader will ever forget.

Tom, Love at the Haven 5
Author: Stella Shaw
Publisher: Jocular Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 58
Book Description
What starts as a bit of fun, stirs up a whole new bunch of emotions. On a lazy Sunday afternoon in London at the Haven Hotel, the outrageous and uninhibited Tom introduces his fellow escorts to the joys of an inflatable hot tub in the garden, even if it’s more urban-casual than Florida-chic. He gets mixed reactions: one of the guys finds it weird, another has better things to do, and the hotel owners are frantically trying to find time to have a private conversation involving some kind of proposal. Tom is left on his own to enjoy the tub, but that's okay because he's used to looking after himself. He's been on his own for years, he's never had someone caring for him alone, and he's never done 'Romance'. No, he's all about fun, friends, sexy times, and protecting his heart - because no one else will. Until he’s joined by a sophisticated businessman, just passing through, who’s not only hot and intriguing, but also seems fascinated by Tom. The escorts call their punters by nicknames, but Mr Flash isn’t remotely like Tom’s usual clientele. He's something much more special. And there may even be a future in it for them both. A SHORT STORY IN THE LOVE AT THE HAVEN SERIES. This can be read as a standalone, but follows the timeline of the series.
