Strictly Business: The Salinger Brothers Series Book 1 by Carrie Elks

Strictly Business is a steamy enemies-to-lovers romance. Expect some hot scenes, a little cussing and two characters whose heads you’d love to bang together…

One office. Two enemies. And a secret he cannot find out…
You know that post-vacation glow? Where you’re all sun-kissed and optimistic and determined to make changes in your life?
Well, mine lasted for about five minutes. Until I walked into the office and saw Myles Salinger sitting in my boss’s chair.
One look at his scowling face was enough to make me want to fly straight back to Europe. And no, he’s not getting any of the donuts I brought in for the team. He doesn’t deserve them.
You see, on paper he’s my contemporary. But in reality he’s been my workplace nemesis for the last two years.
Lucky for us we’re usually separated by five hundred miles.

But now he’s here in my face, throwing his impressive weight around and driving everybody crazy with his demands.
Especially me.
Good thing he doesn’t know the big decision I made while I was away.
That I’m going to try for a baby. Alone.
If he ever finds out he’ll never let me hear the end of it.

So let’s keep it between us. Okay?

Totally Booked UK review: Returning to work after a vacation, Ava can tell that there is something different about the publishing office she works in. She’d hoped to share doughnuts with her colleagues, share her vacation highlights as well as chat with her boss Richard about reducing her workload as she has decided to try for a baby – alone. Instead, she finds that her archnemesis Myles from the New York office sitting in her boss’s office, finding out that there was an IT issue whilst she was away caused issues both for the office and financially impacting the company. Oh, and Richard has been fired!

Myles Salinger did not want to have to come down to Charleston to sort out the issues left behind by Richard. Especially as it means working with Ava who took an instant dislike to him when she visited New York for a meeting. They have been sharing glares at each other via virtual team meetings ever since. Now he is here, he needs to work with her to update the office and keep their biggest client happy and signed with Charleston.

Discovering that Ava wants a baby Myles offers to be her sperm donor. He has something she needs and he is willing to give it to her with no strings attached. But as their work/personal lives blur is this just an arrangement or is there more going on?

Strictly Pleasure: The Salinger Brothers Series Book 2 by Carrie Elks

A gorgeously swoony enemies-to-lovers romance to make you smile…

Never tell a lie. Especially not to a cocky CEO who knows exactly how to seduce you. They always come back to bite.
I should have remembered that before I spent the night with Liam Salinger.
In my defense, he’s stupidly attractive and knows it. He also willingly admitted to me that he never sleeps with the same woman twice.
So I shouldn’t feel too bad about lying to him the next morning. We can forget about each other and get on with our lives, right?
Wrong.

We’ve both been chosen as godparents to my best friend’s gorgeous newborn. Which means we’ll be spending a lot of time together, much to our mutual disgust.
And yes, he looks great cradling a tiny baby against his expensively attired chest. Plus he’s funny, irreverent, and weirdly protective toward me.
But I’m not going to fall for his charm. Not a second time.
I just have to keep telling myself that.

Strictly For Now: The Salinger Brothers Book 3 by Carrie Elks

Strictly For Now is a standalone, steamy opposites-attract hockey romance featuring an over-40s hero, a strong, professional heroine and a love match that will make you smile and swoon.

I hate hockey. He hates everything else… including me.
Falling flat on my back in a sweaty locker room isn’t how I planned to introduce myself to my grandpa’s hockey team. Especially when I’m there to turn the business around financially; something nobody else in the stadium seems to want.

But that’s how I first meet Eli Salinger, the team’s aggravatingly smooth player-turned coach.
And from the moment I introduce myself to him, he makes it clear he doesn’t want me there.

It doesn’t take a genius to work out why. Eli’s only interested in one thing – turning the team into a winning side, no matter what it takes.
And he’s determined to fight every change I try to make.
What he doesn’t know is that I’ve never taken on a project that hasn’t succeeded. And I’m not about to let this be the first.

I don’t care if he’s grumpy and adorable in equal measure. Or that every time he looks at me it sends me all a flutter.
This is a game of wits. And there can be only one winner.
