A Sweet Billionaire Romance
Published 12th December 2013
Format: Paperback and Kindle Edition
Pages: 432
Feisty, stubborn, and bored with life in Texas, she’s is about to get more than she bargained for.
In a sort of mid-life crisis, widow Anne Best heads off to the Big Apple for a job interview, expecting no more than a few days adventure in New York City. Instead, she finds herself with a new job working for the most infuriating man she’s ever met.
Billionaire Steven Gherring is one of New York’s Most Eligible Bachelors, and he has every intention of staying that way. But Gram has other ideas. She’s on a not-so-secret campaign to find a wife for her grandson.
As fearless as she is clumsy, Anne tackles every challenge (including her new boss) enthusiastically, with two lone exceptions… public speaking and recognising her own feelings.
Passions rise along with hemlines as Gram joins forces with Anne, a veteran matchmaker, to find the perfect match for Steven.
“If a personal executive assistant is someone who organizes someone’s life and work, acquires all the needed tools and supplies, keeps the person’s schedule, finds calm in the midst of chaos, and works countless hours in a thankless job… what you really need is a mother, and I have twenty-three years of experience!”
Totally Booked UK Review: For the past 15 years, Anne Best has brought up her two girls in Texas following the death of her husband. Now that Emily and Charlie are grown up and doing their own thing it is time for a new journey for Anne – like a job in New York! Although the interview doesn’t quite go to plan when Steven Gherring manages to press all her buttons.
After countless interviews to find a new executive assistant Steven Gherring is hoping that Ms Curson will just stay instead of leaving after she is married. But realistically that isn’t going to happen. The last interview of the day and he is tired and grumpy – then Anne Best walks into his office and his life. Not only does she not know who he is but she counteracts his decisions and gives him a piece of her mind. But there is something about her that makes him offer the job.
A three-month trial and a new life in New York, Anne brings a slice of Texan welcoming with her and suddenly she is making friends wherever she goes – with a slice of matchmaking too. She can’t quite work out Mr Gherring though, he appears grumpy and lonely, yet sweet too – maybe she just needs to find him a wife.
A laugh out loud read, watching the spark and banter between Anne and Steven and just wait until you are introduced to Grams!

Spencer Marshall can’t risk his reputation by admitting he’s been waiting for “the right woman” for his first kiss. His pride won’t let him admit the truth, even when his “reputation” stands between him and the girl of his dreams. Emily Best.
In the end, he has to choose… Admit the humiliating truth in front of friends and family or risk losing Emily forever.

What happens when your brother makes you think the girl you love is trying to hide from a stalker? You might just do something crazy…
Grace Marshall knows guys are only attracted to her physically, and that attraction is bound to wear off. That’s why she’s so careful to guard her heart.
That is, until Brad comes along and starts tearing down her defenses. When he mentions the word “love” she breaks off the relationship. It was the right thing to do… So why does she feel so miserable?
Doctor Brad Gates is in love with Grace. The little dynamo won him over with her zest for life and love of sports. But she’s skittish where love is concerned. She tries to end the relationship, but Brad isn’t going down without a fight.
Grace soon regrets her decision. But every attempt to communicate with Brad is thwarted. Could it be a sign they shouldn’t be together?
When Brad’s interfering brother spins a story about Grace’s fear of a crazed stalker and her resulting decision to pursue plastic surgery, the rollercoaster goes for a loop. But a concussion can hardly make him feel any worse than he does already.
Totally Booked UK Review: Grace likes to keep the people she dates at arm’s length. Having fun for a few weeks until it starts to get serious and then it is time to call it a day. So when Brad confesses his love for her it sends her tail in a spin and running for the hills. But why does she feel so miserable? Could it be that Brad is the one for her?
Although she attempts to make things right between them, one of Brad’s colleagues has other ideas and has set her sights on the doctor for herself. A series of misunderstandings, manipulation and missed chances happen. Can they work through all the hurdles in their way to be together?

The next book in this sweet romance series will make you laugh and cry and leave you with a smile, you’ll love this fake-relationship, friends to lovers, medical romance by USA Today Bestselling Author Tamie Dearen!
They aren’t fooling anyone with this fake engagement… except maybe themselves.
When Charlie sees Josh again after a long separation, she’s forced to admit the truth. She’s in love with him. Too bad he’s about to marry her friend, Olivia.
Will he ever get a break? Josh Branson has spent the last two years working to be the kind of man Charlie deserves. Now she’s in town but instead of taking his time to win her over, he needs to get married as soon as possible. Surely his good friend Olivia will help him out.
Schemes fall apart as too many matchmakers–Charlie included–work at cross-purposes to bring Josh together with the woman they think he loves.
Totally Booked UK Review: Josh has been pining over Charlie for the past two years, and with her finally moving to New York is now the time to show her that he really has left his ‘player’ days behind him. However, there is an added complication in that he wants to adopt his niece and nephew and needs to get married as soon as possible. With Charlie still not giving him the time of day, he enlists one of their friends Olivia to marry him in exchange for paying her medical school tuition fees.
But when you are in love with someone else and they are in love with you but neither will admit it – despite everyone else knowing. It leads to a whole load of misunderstandings and oneupmanship.
This one left me frustrated whilst reading it as it felt as though they did everything possible not to admit their true feelings.

A Christmas Billionaire Romance
Published 9th January 2018
Format: Paperback and Kindle Edition
Pages: 412
This billionaire romance is a standalone, but contains spoilers for the other books in the series. It’s a fun case of enemies to lovers and mistaken identity that leads to happily ever after! You’ll love this sweet Christmas romance from USA Today bestselling author Tamie Dearen!
“Don’t tell anyone… but I think I have a crush on Santa Claus!”
Olivia’s biological clock is ticking and she has no time for casual dating – especially not with the likes of Collin Sterling. Rich, spoiled, and arrogant, Collin is definitely not husband material, even though his deep green eyes send chills down her spine.
Collin admires everything about Olivia – her spunk, her sharp wit, and sharper tongue. And he’s doing everything possible to prove he’s the kind of man who deserves her. Until he realises she’d be better off without him.
Then a man in a Santa suit gives Olivia a magical kiss that takes her breath away. How can Collin possibly compete?
Totally Booked UK Review: Olivia is finally starting medical school, after working her way through nursing school and various jobs in order to pay her own way. At 27, she is feeling late to the party and very aware that she isn’t where she thought she would be in life – not helped by the fact that her family and friends are all pairing off and having babies.
Collin has somewhat of a player reputation and has never really made the right impression on people he meets. Especially Olivia, who he met two years ago and has been attempting to get on her good side every since. But nothing seems to be working, with her stating that their lives are just too different and that he has no idea what it is like to struggle and work for everything.
With an impromptu kiss, Olivia is left weak at the knees and sending her head swimming with thoughts of Collin. But it would never work, although she is unaware that he has been making changes in his life. All he wants to do is protect and love her, will she ever let him?

From USA Today bestselling author Tamie Dearen comes the long-awaited prequel to Her Best Match. Read the story of Steven Gherring’s PA, Katie, and how she meets his best friend, Gary, in this Indigo Bay Second Chance Romance.
Will Katie jump into the shark-infested waters for a second chance at love?
Katie Carson is afraid of everything. Spiders. Sharks. And especially love… thanks to her ex-fiancé. That’s why her immediate attraction to the reckless Gary Lassiter scares her to death. Sure, he looks like Superman and he saved her from a giant arachnid, but he’s an adrenaline junkie.
Gary Lassiter owes his life to his best friend, Steven. But his loyalty is tested when he meets Steven’s PA, Katie. Though Steven and Katie are probably a better-suited match, Gary wants Katie for himself. He sees a lot of spunk behind her overtly timid façade, and he’s determined to bring it out in the open.
When the three spend a week at Indigo Bay, Katie starts to fall for Gary, even stepping outside her comfort zone. It’s all fun and games until her adventure brings her to a moment of life or death. Thrown into the nightmares of her past, she’s convinced they can’t have a future together.
Will Gary get past her defences?
