The Duet

by R.S. Grey

Releasing on November 10th

When 27-year-old pop sensation Brooklyn Heart steps in front of a microphone, her love songs enchant audiences worldwide. But when it comes to her own love life, the only spell she’s under is a dry one.

So when her label slots her for a Grammy performance with the sexy and soulful Jason Monroe, she can’t help but entertain certain fantasies… those in which her G-string gets more play than her guitars’.

Only one problem. Jason is a lyrical lone wolf that isn’t happy about sharing the stage—nor his ranch — with the sassy singer. But while it may seem like a song entitled ‘Jason Monroe Is an Arrogant Ho’ basically writes itself, their label and their millions of fans are expecting recording gold…

They’re expecting The Duet.

EXCERPT

Summer Neilson BrooklynHeartAssist@gmail.com 7:00 P.M.

Whattup Boss. Just an update about the meeting tomorrow with Global Records. It’s still at 8:00 A.M. at their downtown offices, but now Jason Monroe will be there as well. They haven’t briefed me about what they’ll be discussing with you guys, but I thought I’d give you a heads up incase you wanted to forget to wear a bra or something. I’ve attached a photo of him, just as a reminder of how seriously hot he is. (You’re welcome.)

Your badass assistant,

Summer

PS. Let’s get lunch after your meeting so we can go over tour stuff.

I laughed and rolled my eyes. Some people might argue that my relationship with my thirty-year-old assistant crossed boundaries, but Summer had bright purple hair and usually sported black on black for all occasions. I don’t think I could have reined her in even if I tried. Not to mention, she got shit done and made me laugh while she did it, so I didn’t see any problems.

“Oh, no way. You have a meeting with Jason Monroe tomorrow? That guy can seriously rock,” the Brazilian model said over my shoulder. I hadn’t even realized he’d slid over to my bench while I was reading my email. Creepy.

I turned my phone away quickly, hoping he hadn’t had enough time to read the rest of the email where Summer had attached a shirtless photo of Jason. If so, I was going to have to find the guys from Men in Black so that I could use that pen thing to erase his memory.

“Oh um, yeah, we’re under the same music label,” I answered nonchalantly, trying to read his features for any tell of whether he read the bra-less comment.

“That guy has soul, have you seen his acoustic performances?” he asked, seemingly more interested in the idea of Jason Monroe than the idea of having sex with me. Something was wrong with this picture. “He headlined ACL and Coachella last year.”

I rolled my eyes and dropped my phone back into my purse. The rest of the ride to my condo, and even as we rode the elevator up to my floor, I wondered what the record label had up their sleeves concerning me and the seriously sexy, Jason Monroe. (Yes, of course, I went back to look at the photo Summer had sent me in the email. Here’s a hint: he was on stage at a music festival with his guitar. His eyes were closed, sweat was dripping down his neck, his brown hair was disheveled, and he was singing a song with every bit of soul he had in him. I couldn’t look away until the Brazilian model literally pried the phone out of my hand.)

I am a lover of books, chocolate, reality TV, black labs, and cold weather. Seriously, if I had it my way I would be curled up on the couch with all of those things… everyday.

I live in Texas where I spend my free time writing and reading. My favorite authors are Mindy Kaling & Jonathan Safran Foer. I’m a comedy geek and love all things “funny”. Women like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Mindy Kaling are definitely the biggest inspirations for my writing, though I think my work tends to skew a bit smuttier than theirs.

SCORING WILDER by R.S. GREY

“She dreamed she could so she did”

This book had it all! Sexy, misunderstood, reformed bad boy? Check! Strong minded, not afraid to take anyone’s crap heroine? Check! Loyal best friends? Check! Mean girls who need a taste of their own medicine? Check! Hysterical one-liners and panty dropping sex scenes? Check Check!!

Scoring Wilder is the story of Kinsley Bryant, an up and coming soccer star and college freshman and Liam Wilder, professional soccer star turned college coach. Liam and Kinsley meet at a party and BOOM! Instant attraction. Attraction that is, until Kinsley learns that Liam will be the new assistant coach for her college soccer team. Translation… OFF LIMITS.

Kinsley is only 19, but she is quite mature. She has dreams of making the Olympic team and is focused on them. Kinsley has been burned in the past and isn’t quite sure about giving her heart away to a famous soccer player who is pictured with different girls weekly.

“Cheat on me once, shame on him. Cheat on me twice…what the actual f*** is going on?”

Liam works hard to break down Kinsley’s walls and gain her trust. Even though it forbidden, Kinsley and Liam start a secret relationship they try to keep covered from everyone. As difficult as that is, they refuse to give up their shot at a happy ending.

The supporting characters in this book really helped make this book as great as it was. Becca was the best kind of friend Kinsley could ask for. She listened when needed and brought a ton of humor to the story. The waxing scene had me in tears! Tara, while an evil, vindictive bit*h, showed you how strong of a heroine Kinsley was. Tara was pulling out every trick she knew to bring Kinsley down, but no matter what, Kinsley held strong to her beliefs. That is one of the things I loved most about the story. Kinsley and Liam had to deal with more garbage than most couples do in the early stages of their relationship, and they let NONE of it come between them. They communicated and spoke openly with each other. It was refreshing to see two people work on the problems in their relationship, rather than have it drive a wedge between them. Silly misunderstandings do not help a story line, they only complicate it. There was none of that here. Everything that happened in this book only served to drive the story. This is a sweet, smart, sexy and laugh out loud coming of age love story that you are going to love.

5 STARS!!
