I just love seeing all the new books along the right side of the page. And there's mine! His Kind of Trouble is book two from the Beauty and the Brit series.
About the book:
Monica Campbell may have a history as a wild child, but she's changed her ways. She's respectable, responsible-and, most importantly, she's sworn off bad boys. That is, until Callum Hughes roars back into her life with his sexy British accent and killer smile.
Cal remembers every steamy moment he shared with Monica, but he barely recognizes the straight-laced woman she's become. Determined to lure Monica into letting go of her inhibitions, Cal will use every trick he knows to fire her blood and tempt her body...reminding her
just how good it can feel to be bad-and his.

Excerpt:
“Dinner,” Monica said. “That’s all I’m agreeing to.” For
now. She just wanted to state it for the record, but her delivery was weak.
Even Monica wasn’t buying her flimsy denials. She and Cal would be having sex
again before the night was over. After hearing his ideas on tasting versus
sampling, she couldn’t think about anything else.
“If you say so.” His agreeable tone said he wasn’t taking
her seriously either. She hadn’t really given him a reason to. Every time they
were together, she meant to say no, but her legs fell open instead.
Cal unlocked the door and nudged her inside. Monica walked
past the threshold and stood in the foyer, taking in the detailed pattern on
the tiled floor, the marbled walls, the modern crystal chandelier that looked
like dandelion seeds. “This is gorgeous.”
“It’s not on par with Trevor’s place, but it’ll do in a
pinch, eh?” He grinned down at her.
“If one doesn’t mind slumming,” she joked. Monica fought
against reaching up and touching the left corner of his mouth. That crooked smile
got her.
Cal relieved her of her purse and bag, setting them next to
the front door. Then he took her hand. “Come on. Food’s outside.” He sped
through the living room, tugging her behind him.
“Wait.” Monica dragged her feet. Her quick glance around the
living room gave her an overall impression of warm walls and sumptuous
furniture—a mixture of old world dark wood and modern design. “I want to see
it all.”
“Later. I’ll show
you everything, I
promise.” He pulled her to the French doors.
“Do you always keep your promises, Calum Hughes?”
He stopped then and looked over his shoulder. She’d only
been joking, but his eyes were somber. “Yes. Always. Don’t you?”
Monica hadn’t kept the promise she’d made to herself, the
one about steering clear of good-time guys with sex on the brain. And she
hadn’t kept the promise to her mom, either. Monica didn’t plan on following her
heart anytime soon. “No, I don’t always keep my promises.”
Cal studied her for a long moment. When he smiled, the left
side of his mouth stayed on an even keel with the right. “What a pity. Now,
come along.”
Awesome book! Love the cover. Love the premise. Love the excerpt! I'll be sure to make it a Twitter post!
