ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 19, 2016

Money or love? Which would you choose?

You probably just answered the question in your head thinking it’s an easy decision.

For me, it’s not. Did I mention it’s a lot of money? A hell of a lot.

I needed to go far away to think it through.

As I embarked on an impulsive trip, I hit a detour when I met sexy Carter in the airport lounge. We struck up a heated conversation.

Then, he left.

I thought I’d never see him again.

But fate had other plans.

Surprise! He was the pilot of my flight.

The bigger surprise was the adventure that followed after the plane landed.

Carter was dangerous and always on the move.

Even though our connection was magnetic, I knew it was only temporary.

He would give me tickets, and I would follow him around the world to exotic places.

A bevy of flight attendant exes and rumors about Carter’s reputation were never far behind.

I didn’t know what to believe.

But I was addicted. Nothing else mattered anymore. And I was going to get hurt. Because a part of me wanted to be the one to finally ground the playboy pilot.

At the very least, he was taking me on a thrilling ride.

All good things must come to an end, right?

Except our ending was one I didn’t see coming.

REVIEW: PLAYBOY PILOT is the latest stand alone, contemporary adult romance story line co-authored by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward. This is airline pilot Carter Clynes, and heiress Kendall Sparks’s story line

Told from dual first person points of view (Carter and Kendall) PLAYBOY PILOT follows Kendall Sparks as she is about to make a life-altering decision and needs a few days away before taking the final step. Enter Carter Clynes, airline pilot and manwhore extraordinaire who sweeps our heroine into an adventure around the world beginning in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil that will culminate in heartbreak, misunderstanding, romance and love.

Carter Clynes has a reputation within the airline industry and he has earned his reputation both in and out of the bedroom. He likes to sing Beatles songs, and references many a line in his growing love for our story line heroine. Meeting Kendall Sparks throws all of Carter’s playboy ways into the wind as he endeavors to clean up his image-an image that has been fueled by too many encounters with co-workers and friends But there is a softer side to our story line hero, a side he keeps hidden for the people back home. Kendall is a woman whose future will be dependent upon the choices she makes, and whether or not she will fall in love, and Carter is the man who calls to her heart.

The relationship between Carter and Kendall is one of immediate attraction as our airline pilot pushes Kendall to step outside of her comfort zone and take a ‘literal’ leap into the unknown. There is plenty of back and forth sexual banter. When Carter’s past comes back with news of a different kind, our heroine walks away breaking the heart of the man with whom she has fallen in love. The $ex scenes are seductive and provocative.

There are a large number of secondary and supporting characters including the people who live in Carter’s condo village, several of Carter’s co-workers and airline service personnel, as well as a bevy of Carter’s prior one-night stands who seem to come out of the wood work the more our heroine falls in love with her man. We are also introduced to Carter’s friend Gordon, and Kendall’s mother who pushes her daughter in more ways than one.

PLAYBOY PILOT is a sweet and sexy story with plenty of humor and fun; romance and love; heartbreak and perceived betrayal. The premise is lighthearted but intense; the characters are passionate and energetic; the romance is breathtaking and exquisite. PLAYBOY PILOT is journey towards love and a happily ever after.

excerpt

NOTE: Excerpt intended for mature readers 18+

“Carter? What are you doing?”
Shit.
I laughed under my breath and banged the back of my head against the wood. “Praying?”
“Do you always breathe like that when you’re praying?”
“It’s an intense prayer.”
“What are you really doing?”
“I think you might know what I’m really doing, Kendall.”
“Can I come in?”
Still fully erect, I tucked my cock back into my pants as best I could before opening the door.
Her eyes trailed down to my massive erection. “I’m sorry….to make you resort to that.”
“It’s okay. My hand and I haven’t spent time like this since I was a teenager. I think he missed me.”
“What were you thinking about?”
“You.”
“Yeah…but what specifically?”
“It was this fantasy of fucking you on the dance floor back at the club.”
She looked down at me again. Her expression was serious when she asked, “You need some help?”
“I thought you said we weren’t going to go there.”
“I can’t have sex with you. But I want to touch you. I could take my clothes off, let you finish what you started. You know…help you.”
Looking up at the ceiling, I shook my head. “You have no fucking clue, do you?”
“What do you mean?”
“How crazy you make me. There’s no halfway with you. Jerking off with your naked body right in front of me…not being able to do what I really want to you…would be torture. I don’t have that kind of willpower, not with you, not anymore. Even when I kiss you, all I can think about is burying myself inside of you. But you naked in front of me? Too much, Kendall. When you strip down for me, I want it to be when you’re ready to let me have you. Otherwise, it’s better if I don’t know what I’m missing out on.”
Looking filled with remorse, she waved her hands. “Okay. I get it. I’m sorry…for interrupting.”
“Go back to bed. I’ll be right there.”
After Kendall left, I closed my eyes in regret. Was I crazy for turning her away like that?
Now that she knew what I was up to in here, I couldn’t relax. Still needing release like a motherfucker, I turned on the shower and got in. Ironically, I jerked myself to thoughts of her naked body against the bathroom door and imagined she was watching me.
Fuck my life.

NEIGHBOR DEAREST by Penelope Ward-Review, Book Tour & Giveaway

Neighbor Dearest

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO /ibooks

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 15, 2016

After getting dumped, the last thing I needed was to move next door to someone who reminded me of my ex-boyfriend, Elec.

Damien was a hotter version of my ex.

The neighbor I’d dubbed “Angry Artist” also had two massive dogs that kept me up with their barking.

He wanted nothing to do with me. Or so I thought until one night I heard laughter coming through an apparent hole in my bedroom wall.

Damien had been listening to all of my phone sessions with my therapist.

The sexy artist next door now knew all of my deepest secrets and insecurities.

We got to talking.

He set me straight with tips to get over my breakup.

He became a good friend, but Damien made it clear that he couldn’t be anything more.

Problem was, I was falling hard for him anyway. And as much as he pushed me away, I knew he felt the same…because his heartbeat didn’t lie.

I thought my heart had been broken by Elec, but it was alive and beating harder than ever for Damien.

I just hoped he wouldn’t shatter it for good.

Author’s note – Neighbor Dearest is a full-length standalone novel. Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

•••••••

REVIEW: NEIGHBOR DEAREST by Penelope Ward is a stand alone, contemporary, adult, erotic romance story line focusing on artist Damien D.H. Hennessey, and youth center counselor Chelsea Jameson. Chelsea was first introduced in Ward’s Stepbrother Dearest that focused on the taboo relationship between Elec and his step-sister Greta.

Told from first person point of view (Chelsea) NEIGHBOR DEAREST focuses on the relationship between neighbors Chelsea Jameson and her current landlord Damien Hennessey. From eavesdropping on personal conversations, to movie night with popcorn and drinks, Chelsea and Damien’s friendship continues to grow until Damien begins to push Chelsea away. Damien has a secret: one that forces Damien to keep Chelsea from falling in love but Damien’s continuous mixed signals including jealousy over her ex-boyfriend, and setting Chelsea up on a dating website both confuse and irritate our story line heroine. Damien claims not to do romance or love but his actions say otherwise. What ensues is a relationship that is taken to the next level when the truth is revealed, and Damien sees the possibility of a future with the woman with whom he is falling in love.

NEIGHBOR DEAREST is a stand alone story but a ‘spinoff’ tale from Ward’s Stepbrother Dearest. Chelsea’s former boyfriend Elec makes a cameo appearance but for all intents and purposes he is not the bad guy in the current story line premise. The conflict does not come from an outside source but from Damien’s constant need to push Chelsea away and the secret he keeps.

We are introduced to Damien’s brother Tyler, and Chelsea’s sister Jade, and I suspect there is building story line between Tyler and Jade. Jade is an actress currently living in L.A., and Tyler is hoping to get into the business.

Penelope Ward’s NEIGHBOR DEAREST has moments of humor, fun, romance, love, heartbreak and steamy $ex. The premise is compelling and intimate; the characters are passionate and engaging; the romance is seductive and energetic. The sexual energy between Chelsea and Damien is palpable; there is no denying the attraction between one another-it is almost intoxicating and you can hear our heroine’s heartbreak when she knows it is time to walk away. NEIGHBOR DEAREST is an impressive and moving story about taking a chance on love.

Excerpt beige

Looking tense, he placed his hands slowly into his pockets as he looked at me. “What exactly happened last night?”
“What are you talking about?”
Nice try dodging the question.
He moved in closer to me. “What am I talking about? You leaving me with a giant fucking basket of muffins and running off before I could even say anything? Ring a bell?”
“I thought you’d be alone. It caught me off guard.”
His eyes softened. “You were upset…”
“No, I wasn’t.”
“You’re a terrible liar, Chelsea. Fucking horrible at it. You don’t hide your feelings very well.”
“You think you know just about everything there is to know about me, don’t you?”
“Not everything. But it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to read you. It’s one of the things I like about you, though. You’re one of the least fake people I’ve ever met.”
“Then, tell me. Why do you think I was upset?”
“Honestly? I think you’re confused about me.”
“Confused…”
“Yes. I think you’re wondering why I opted not to have dinner with you and instead ended up with a woman I’d literally just met, someone who isn’t as sweet as you and sure as fuck isn’t as pretty as you. So, you’re wondering what the hell I was thinking. Am I right?”
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
He continued, “I know we haven’t known each other for very long, but I do feel a connection with you, okay? If you’ve sensed something, you’re not imagining it.”
“Well, if I wasn’t confused before…now I definitely am.”
“I feel like I need to say this now, because I can’t stand the thought of you thinking that I somehow find you undesirable when it’s exactly the opposite.”
I crossed my arms. “Again. Not following you.”
He closed his eyes as if to try to find the right words. “It’s just that I know for sure that I can’t ever be what someone like you needs in a boyfriend, in a partner. It’s not that we wouldn’t have fun or be great together at first. I’m just not good for you in the long-term—not marriage material. And the reasons are too complex to get into, except to say that it has nothing to do with you and everything to do with me. I can’t, in good conscience, start something with a girl like you.”
“A girl like me…”
“Yes. You’re not the kind of girl a guy takes home for a quick fuck. You’re the girl he keeps.”
Right. Just like Elec did.

ABOUT THE BOOK: April 11, 2016

It started out like any other morning on the train.

Until I became mesmerized by the guy sitting across the aisle.

He was barking at someone on his phone like he ruled the world.

Who did the stuck-up suit think he was…God?

Actually, he looked like a God. That was about it.

When his stop came, he got up suddenly and left. So suddenly, he dropped his phone on the way out.

I might have picked it up.

I might have gone through all of his photos and called some of the numbers.

I might have held onto the mystery man’s phone for days—until I finally conjured up the courage to return it.

When I traipsed my ass across town to his fancy company, he refused to see me.

So, I left the phone on the empty desk outside the arrogant jerk’s office.

I might have also left behind a dirty picture on it first though.

I didn’t expect him to text back.

I didn’t expect our exchanges to be hot as hell.

I didn’t expect to fall for him—all before we even met.

The two of us couldn’t have been any more different.

Yet, you know what they say about opposites.

When we finally came face to face, we found out opposites sometimes do more than attract—we consumed each other.

Nothing could have prepared me for the ride he took me on. And I certainly wasn’t prepared for where I’d wind up when the ride was over.

All good things must come to an end, right?

Except our ending was one I didn’t see coming.

REVIEW: STUCK UP SUIT is a contemporary, adult, erotic romance stand alone story line co-authored by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward. This is successful businessman Graham Morgan, and personal assistant Soraya Venedetta’s story line. There is a slight cross over with Vi and Penelope’s COCKY BASTARD.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Graham and Soraya) STUCK UP SUIT follows the building relationship between Graham Morgan and Soraya Vendetta who meet when Graham accidentally loses his cell phone on the morning commute. When Soraya ‘tries’ to return the cell phone to Graham, the snarly and angry businessman refuses to acknowledge her existence or the fact that she returned his personal property. Leaving Graham a few personal camera images on his phone, Soraya walks away hoping to never hear from the pr*ck again. What ensues is Graham’s attempt to win Soraya at any cost while her presence in his life, changes our hero into a different man.

STUCK UP SUIT focuses on family, betrayal and heartbreak. While Graham tries to get Soraya to open up about her life, Graham himself is about to discover that there are secrets in his past he knew nothing about. There are several moments of humor and fun, as well as the emotional fall out of betrayal and grief.

The world building focuses on the relationship between Soraya and Graham-his need for the woman that calls to his heart; and Soraya’s need to let go of the past. When Graham’s past comes looking for a second chance, Soraya is willing to step away so history doesn’t repeat itself-again.

STUCK UP SUIT is a wonderful and brilliant read with a fascinating group of characters and a premise that is emotional, funny, heartbreaking and inspiring- a great blend of everything you could want in a romance story. The characters are colorful, energetic and often tender; the romance is passionate, sensual and intense.

excerpt

Outside of the restaurant, Graham’s black car was already curbside. He must have had it waiting and called the driver when I went to the restroom.
“If you’re not going to come home with me, I insist on at least giving you a ride home to your place.”
“The subway is right around the corner. I’m good.”
He shot me an annoyed glance. “Give a little, Soraya. It’s a ride home, not a ride on my cock. And I think you know by now that I’m not a serial killer.”
“You’re so crass.”
He put his hand on the small of my back and steered me to the waiting open car door. I didn’t put up a fight. Graham was right, I was being stubborn while he had pretty much agreed to anything I demanded. Something told me it was a rare occasion when the man was this flexible.
When we arrived at my apartment, Graham walked me to the door.
“When will I see you again?”
“Well, tomorrow is Saturday, so I suppose maybe Monday on the train.”
“Have dinner with me again tomorrow?”
“I have plans.”
His jaw flexed. “With whom?”
We embarked into a lengthy stare off. His gaze was hard. When neither of us gave for a few minutes, he grumbled Christ under his breath, and before I realized what was happening, my back was against the door, and his mouth was on mine.
He kissed me as if he wanted to eat me alive. Before releasing my mouth, he took my lower lip between his teeth and tugged. Hard. With his lips vibrating up against mine, he spoke. “Don’t push me to my limit, Soraya.”
“Why? What will happen?”
“I’ll push back. And I’m trying not to do that with you.”
He was being honest, and I realized I should appreciate that. “To my sister’s house. It’s my niece’s birthday party. That’s where I’m going tomorrow night.
He nodded. “Thank you.”
It took every bit of my willpower to go inside and shut the door behind me. I leaned my back against the door, unable to remember the last time I was so hot and bothered. Maybe not ever. His mouth was sinful; the thought of what he could do with that wicked tongue other places on my body kept me in a state of arousal that bordered on frenzied. But it was more than that. The way he was so dominating and controlling, yet exercised restraint to respect my wishes, was the sexiest thing I’d ever seen. The man stimulated something that had been sleeping inside of me. I needed a glass of wine and an orgasm. Not necessarily in that order. If I was going be firm on my stance that we get to know each other and not have sex, then taking things into my own hands was absolutely essential.
In my bedroom, I stripped out of my clothes. I didn’t sleep naked every night, but tonight was definitely a bare evening. As I slipped into bed, my cell rang.
“Is phone sex on the table?” Graham’s voice was a needy rasp. Whatever cooling off my body had done since I left him on the other side of the door was instantly reheated. His voice could definitely speed things up for me. But…
“Sex is off the table. That should probably include all types of sex. Intercourse, oral, phone.”
He groaned. “Oral. God, I want to taste you. And feel that metal tongue ring on my cock. You have no idea how difficult it was to control myself tonight every time I caught a glimpse of that metal when you spoke. It’s like you’re taunting me with every word. What are you wearing, Soraya?”
That voice. I needed to record him saying What are you wearing, Soraya? So I could play it over and over again in a loop when I needed to satisfy my own needs. “I’m actually not wearing anything. I just got undressed and slipped into bed.”
“You sleep naked?”
“Sometimes.”
He actually growled. “Touch yourself.”
“I plan to. But I think I’m going to need both hands tonight. So I’m going to hang up first.”
“How long do you plan on driving me crazy, Soraya?”
“Good night, Graham.” I hung up without waiting for him to respond. Even though my body physically ached for the man, I wasn’t ready to open that door with him just yet. Although as I glided my hand down my body alone in my bed, the only thing I could think of was God, I wish it was his hand.

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 17, 2015

He was someone who belonged in my wildest fantasies instead of a rest stop in the middle of Nebraska.

A sexy, cocky, Australian named Chance was the last person I expected to run into on my cross-country drive.

When my car broke down, we made a deal. Next thing I knew, we were traveling together, spending sexually-tense nights in hotels and taking unplanned detours.

My ordinary road trip turned into the adventure of a lifetime. It was all fun and games until things got intense.

I wanted him, but Chance wouldn’t make a move. I thought he wanted me too, but something was holding him back.

I wasn’t supposed to fall for the cocky bastard, especially when I knew we’d be going our separate ways.

All good things must come to an end, right?

Except our ending was one I didn’t see coming.

•••••••••••••••

REVIEW: COCKY BASTARD is a stand alone, contemporary adult, romance storyline co –authored by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward. This is former Australian soccer player Chance Bateman, and attorney Aubrey Bloom’s storyline.

COCKY BASTARD follows Aubrey and Chance on a cross country journey to California. A chance encounter at a truck stop in Nebraska found Aubrey driving Chance, whose motorcycle was in need of repair, to Temecula, California where Aubrey was about to embark on a new job and a new life. What ensues is a building relationship-friends to lovers-that ends when Chance disappears out of Aubrey’s following a night of $ex and passion in Las Vegas. Fast forward two years wherein Aubrey has moved on with her life but she has never forgotten about Chance Bateman. Chance will reappear into Aubrey’s life, and things don’t go according to plan when Chance reveals what happened during those two missing years, and the realization that Chance had fallen in love with Aubrey.

Aubrey is a strong female heroine who has been burned a time or two by the men in her life. Meeting Chance gave Aubrey the opportunity to learn to trust again but his disappearance left Aubrey heartbroken and pining for the one that got away. Chance’s explanation is difficult for Aubrey to hear but forgiveness does not come easily for a woman who has moved on with her life.

The relationship between Aubrey and Chance is one of immediate attraction and high sexual chemistry but Aubrey refuses to jump into bed with a man she barely knows. Along with Aubrey and Chance we learn a little about their back stories, histories and heartbreaks-it is Chance’s story that will affect his relationship with Aubrey. A trip to Vegas finds Aubrey alone wondering where it all went wrong. The $ex scenes are seductive and provocative, but limited in number.

COCKY BASTARD is a fun read. There are humorous moments, funny banter, and verbal sexual foreplay between Aubrey and Chance. Chance is quick with the one-lines and sexual innuendo resulting in some giggles and laughs throughout the story. Aubrey learns to let go some of her preconceived notions about the man with whom she had fallen in love but trusting Chance with her heart, once again, wasn’t ever going to come easy.

The secondary and supporting characters include Carla the local bartender with a sympathetic ear; Melanie the coffee barista who helps Chance with his seduction of Aubrey; Chance’s sister Adele and her boyfriend Harry; as well as Richard aka Dick –a man who will become an important part of Aubrey’s life. And of course we can’t forget about Pixy-the blind, fainting goat- whose attachment to both Aubrey and Chance continues to grow.

COCKY BASTARD is a delight; an enjoyable and intoxicating look at two people whose lives changed over a bobble-head Obama and a broken down bike. The premise is fun, quirky, and uplifting with a few twist and turns for added drama; the characters are confident and passionate; the romance inspiring and beautiful.

PS. And who doesn’t like Nick Ayler on the cover !!

excerpt

A knock at the door made me jump.
With a huff, I got out of bed and stood on my tiptoes to look out the peephole. Why were those things always so high on the door anyway? I was surprised to find no one standing on the other side. Maybe I’d imagined it.
Another knock.
I flicked on the lights. The sound wasn’t coming from the entrance door. It was coming from an interior door I hadn’t even noticed before.
Chance’s door.
I unfastened the top lock and cracked it open just enough so I could see what he wanted. And there he stood.
Shirtless.
Wearing only dark gray boxer briefs that hugged him like a second skin.
It took a minute to understand what he was doing there, even though he was holding up a toothbrush in question.
“I thought we had established I wasn’t a serial killer already.”
I opened the door wider.
He smiled.
Oh lord. Stop that. Right now.
“I must have left my toothpaste in my saddlebag in the car.”
I swallowed hard. “Uh huh.”
He cocked his head to the side, and his brows dipped in. “Can I borrow yours?”
“Oh. Yeah, sure.”
He walked past me and let himself into my bathroom. I waited at the door.
“You got an awful lot of girly crap in here for one night,” he said with a jumbled mouth full of toothpaste from the bathroom. “Private Collection Tuberose Gardenia.”
He was reading my Estee Lauder perfume bottle.
I heard him rinse and spit. Then there was a gargling sound. He used my mouthwash, too. Sure, help yourself.
He walked out and flicked off the bathroom light. “Is tuberose a rose?”
I shook my head, still confused by the whole situation going on.
“That’s why,” he murmured.
“Why what?”
“I couldn’t figure out what you smelled like all day. Not sure I ever smelled a Tuberose before.” He shrugged and walked back into his room but not before turning back. “Even those little black lacy underwear smell like tuberose.”
My eyes bulged. I’d taken off my bra and panties and left them on the bathroom counter.
“You…you—”
“Relax. I’m teasing. Do I look like an underwear sniffer to you?”
Yes.
No.
Maybe?
“Night, Aubrey.” He graced me with a dimple and disappeared.
AH-BREE. Damn him.
I locked the door and checked it twice, unclear if it was for my safety or his. His voice saying my name was on audio replay inside my head, getting softer and softer like a soothing lullaby with each breath as I drifted off to dreamland.
Until the knock came again.
