COMING SOON:

Bidding For Brooks - is out now!

One bachelor auction.

Two good friends.

When Skye agrees to bid on her friend, Brooks, the last thing she expects to lose is her heart.

Bidding on Brooks is the first of four books about the Philadelphia-based, wildly-handsome Winslow brothers who are all on the look-out for love.

(Except Preston. He's been down that road before and still has the scars to prove it. And maybe Cameron, because he's super-hot, but too hot-headed to be decent boyfriend material...)

Railroaded into a bachelor auction by his sister, Jessica, Brooks Winslow asks his friend, Skye Sorenson, to bid on him to avoid the possibility of any romantic entanglements. Fiercely competitive and protective of those he cares for, Brooks was profoundly affected by the loss of his father at an early age. A witness to his mother's terrible loneliness and his siblings' grief, the ex-Olympian has never allowed himself to fall in love.

Skye Sorenson, the plucky mechanic at Sorenson Marina, where Brooks moors his three sailboats, is a credible sailor in her own right...and has quietly lusted after Brooks for years. But her longstanding friendship with Brooks has always made romance seem impossible.

When Skye agrees to bid on Brooks, the two cast off for a weeklong ocean adventure on Brooks' sailboat, The Zephyr, where the last thing Skye expects to lose is her heart.

Return to the world created in the English Brothers books with this fresh foursome of scorching hot Winslow Brothers!My review: Bidding For Brooks - Review
About the Author:

Katy Regnery, award-winning and Amazon bestselling author, started her writing career by enrolling in a short story class in January 2012. One year later, she signed her first contract for a winter romance entitled By Proxy.

Now a hybrid author who publishes both independently and traditionally, Katy claims authorship of the six-book Heart of Montana series, the six-book English Brothers series, and a Kindle Worlds novella entitled “Four Weddings and a Fiasco: The Wedding Date.” Katy’s short story, “The Long Way Home” appears in the first RWA anthology, Premiere, and she has published two standalone novels, Playing for Love at Deep Haven and the Amazon bestseller, The Vixen and the Vet, which is book one in Katy’s a m o d e r n f a i r y t a l e collection. The Vixen and the Vet was nominated for a RITA® in 2015.

Katy lives in the relative wilds of northern Fairfield County, Connecticut, where her writing room looks out at the woods, and her husband, two young children, and two dogs create just enough cheerful chaos to remind her that the very best love stories begin at home.

Kiss Me Kate – by Katy Regnery

Original Cover

My own copy

The blurb:

Kiss Me, Kate is the sixth of six books about the Philadelphia-based, wildly-handsome English brothers (and one lovely cousin!) who are all on the look-out for love.

Kate English, cousin to the beguiling English Brothers, has relocated to Philadelphia and now works with her cousins at English & Company. The problem with moving to Philly? It was where Kate met her first love, Etienne Rousseau. Since the move, Kate can’t seem shake the painful memories of a romance that broke her heart.

Etienne Rousseau, neighbor and arch-enemy of the English family, is recently single and has every intention of enjoying his newly-minted bachelor-status. That is…until his brother inks a deal with English & Company, forcing Etienne to work with his one-time lover, Kate English. Though he wants to hate the girl who once destroyed his life, he can't deny the fierce attraction or hide the deep tenderness he still feels for Kate.

With vibrant flashbacks of their passionate, teenage love affair making it impossible to ignore their unresolved history, Kate and Etienne will commit to unraveling the secrets of their heartbreaking past to make way for a breathtaking future.

My Opinion:

*Book provided by the author in exchange for an honest review*

Back in this wonderful world of the English family, yay!!!

Well, now that all the five English brothers have found their soulmate it’s time for their cousin Kate. We got introduced to her in the last book and already got a glimpse on what it could be about.

Kate has moved back to Philly from New York and has started working for English & Company. Going back also confronts her with her past or certain people from the past, especially Etienne Rousseau, her first love. When she hears that he was in an accident, she is worried and starts stalking him on his sister’s Facebook account. And it gets better. English & Company collaborates with Etienne’s family’s company and the have to work together. The tension is there from the start, the can’t really think strait in each other’s company, but so much has happened, they don’t really trust each other anymore.

Kate’s cousins are really protective of her and they don’t like Etienne, so they try to keep her away from him.

When Etienne and Kate start working together, all the memories come flushing back. I loved how these memories were included in the story, like a chapter with a flashback and then back to the present. I adored reading about their love story, how they got to know each other, how everything developed and how they wanted to fight for their future. Of course, there was already a lot of drama involved back then and it seems that both their families were not honest with them.

When they have to go to New Orleans for business they start talking about everything and they finally find out what really happened. This opens a new door and they are willing to fight for what they feel. Etienne comes across like a heart-breaker and bad boy, but when it comes to Kate he is tender and sweet and you can feel his love and attraction for her immediately. They had a lot of passion and chemistry, which was a pleasure to read about.

One thing I always like in Katy’s stories, is that the perspective changes and we get insight to both their emotions. It made me see Etienne from a different light and it is a great mixture of different viewpoints.

This story has lots of magical and romantic moments, it’s also a bit of a modern Romeo and Juliet tale, just with more details and passion.

It was great to read about all the English brother’s again, because I loved every single one of their stories.

The ending was full of power, sweetness and love; I had a huge smile on my face. So thank you Katy, you did it once again!!!

A touching, emotional and passionate story of two soulmates, finding a way to be together.

Kate: Princess Madeleine of Sweden
