Love Me Like I Love You

Four months. That's how long I’ll need to pretend to be Steele Cunningham's doting girlfriend. I agreed to this insanity only to save my restaurant. He's doing it because he needs someone outside his “social circle” to stick it to his meddling parents and clingy ex. Ruthless and emotionless in both his personal life and his career, Steele’s ego rivals his net worth. Operating on joy and positivity—and a healthy bit of feistiness—I challenge him at every step. He’s a tin man—heartless and cold. Falling for him would be a colossal mistake, because there’s no chance he’ll ever love me. He can’t. After all, he’s the man with an armored heart.

Washed Away

Hard To Handle is the second book in the Teach Me series, but can be enjoyed as a full-length, standalone romance. RC Boldt’s Teach Me series gives us a closer look at just how thin the line is between love and hate... Fifth grade social studies teacher, Laney Kavanaugh, is no stranger to being left behind – her father taught her that at a young age. That’s why she always has her eyes wide open when it comes to men. She’s determined she will never again be the one left behind. She doesn’t let sex blur what they’re really doing; it’s always just sex. Until Zach. Zachariah Mayson, fifth grade writing and English teacher, has been the bane of Laney’s existence from the moment they met at their shared elementary school. She can’t stand him. He gets under her skin like no other and is always utterly obnoxious in his attempts–and successes–in getting a rise out of her. Until the wedding. The night of their friends’ wedding, Laney gives in to a moment of melancholy, knowing she’ll never be able to let her guard down enough to let a guy close, let alone someday get married. She and Zach end up having the hottest night she’d ever experienced, showing her another side of him, a softer, sweeter one he’d hidden from her until now. Because now, he hoped she was finally ready to “see” him. But when you’ve always guarded yourself against falling in love, can you let go of the past in order to embrace the future? Praise for Hard To Handle I never thought I would dig teachers, but RC Boldt just writes them in the kind of light I never pictured. Sweet, sexy, sassy fun, this book thrilled me and melted me.—Marie's Tempting Reads Throughout this book I totally rooted for Zach as Laney was definitely a tough nut to crack. The book ended just the way I was hoping for! (and of course I am now dying for the next one!)—Ever Growing Book Obsession I recommend you grab this book and ride along with this amazing gang of friends finding their place in this game called life.— J&J's Southern Spice Blog

“Clam Jam” Definition: the female equivalent of a cock block. Example: You’re chatting with a guy you’re interested in and your friend comes along and lays claim to him. Maggie That’s my life—except it’s worse. My friend who keeps “jamming” me is my gay roommate and if that isn’t a W.T.F. moment, I’m not sure what is. Fact: He went home with three—yes, three—of the guys I had been so sure were into me. Fact: He’s really pissing me off. I mean, hello? I’m trying to get back in the saddle, but I’ll never manage to get a boyfriend before the age of fifty if he keeps this up. Fact: Secretly, I wonder what it would be like if he weren’t gay. Why do all the hot, sweet, tender-hearted guys have to be gay? Fact: My gay-dar needs a serious tune-up. Ry The day I interviewed for the room to rent, everything changed. I knew I had met “the girl”, except there was one small problem: she didn’t want anything to do with men. I recognized a top-notch force field when I saw one. She’d been burned badly and didn’t want to deal with a heterosexual guy as a roommate. I could’ve turned around and found another place to live, but I wanted to live there—with her. So I had to go “undercover”. Fact: I’m in love with my roommate. Fact: I’m a likely candidate for carpal tunnel surgery since all the action I’ve had for the past year has been my hand. Fact: She’s going to hate me if I come clean now. Fact: I’m not giving up. Which means, I’ll just have to continue to run defense until I figure out a way to get Maggie to see the “real” me. The me that loves her. The me that would never do her wrong. Until then, I’ll keep running off every guy who shows any interest. Until then, I’ll continue to Clam Jam. ———————————— BLUE BALLS Truth: A painful condition caused by a prolonged state of sexual arousal without release. Myth: Only affects males.
