ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 15, 2024

Jack Shephard doesn’t believe in happy endings.

He tried the whole happily ever after thing, and it ended in divorce. As a single dad and the Chief of Police in small town, he doesn’t have time to date, which is just fine with him. He’s not looking for love. Especially not with a woman from the city who’s just as jaded about love and relationships as he is.

Rosalie Crawford isn’t looking for love, either. Ever since her father walked out on her and her mother, leaving deep scars, she’s known that living happily ever after is nothing but a fairytale. She only does short-term and casual when it comes to men. When she gets stuck in Gossamer Falls for the night after scouting the location for a music video shoot, she doesn’t think twice about spending the night with gorgeous and sweet Jack Shephard.

After one night with Rosalie, however, Jack can’t help but wonder if there might be more there. When Rosalie’s boss, pop music superstar Carrie Clark, decides to shoot her latest music video in Gossamer Falls, Jack and Rosalie will have a chance to reconnect. But there’s something he’s failed to mention, something that might throw a wrench into his plans with Rosalie—he’s a single dad to an eleven-year-old daughter.

As much as Rosalie likes Jack, finding out about his daughter puts things in a different light. Relationships are risky enough, and with a kid involved…it’s all so much more complicated.

But one night under the famous—and possibly magical—Gossamer Falls just might change everything, for both of them. Because in Gossamer Falls, magic lurks around every corner, just waiting to be discovered.

•••••

REVIEW:ONE ENCHANTED EVENING is the second instalment in Tara Wyatt’s contemporary, adult GOSSAMER FALLS erotic,romance series.This is Police Chief Jack Shephard, and PA Rosalie Crawford’s story line. ONE ENCHANTED EVENING can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary .

Told from dual omniscient third person perspectives (Jack and Rosalie) ONE ENCHANTED EVENING follows the building romance and relationship between Rosalie and Jack. Scouting out a location for pop singer Carrie Clark’s next video, Rosalie Crawford landed in Gossamer Falls minutes before a winter storm. Meeting Gossamer Falls police chief Jack Shephard found Rosalie Crawford dreaming about the possibility of something more. Rosalie’s job and her life were in upstate New York, and one night together was all they would have until Carrie Clark chose Gossamer Falls as the backdrop for her latest song.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 17, 2023

Adam Shephard is not in a rut.

So what if he’s forty, single, and still running his family’s Inn? So what if he’s still grieving his father’s death and mourning the spectacular failure of his writing career? His life is perfectly fine, thank you very much. He’s not looking for love or a relationship, no matter what his nosy family thinks. Especially not with a writer from out of town.

Which is fine, because bestselling author Hazel Woodward isn’t looking for love either. She’s just looking for an escape, which is how she winds up in Gossamer Falls, a town where magic feels more than just make believe.

With her deadline looming, Hazel has only a few weeks to submit the first hundred pages of her manuscript or forfeit her hefty advance—which might be a problem, because she’s been living off of it for the past two years. While getting divorced, losing her best friend to a heartbreaking betrayal, and dealing with the worst case of writers block ever known to man. Now, in the picturesque town of Gossamer Falls, while staying at the Shephard Inn, she’s hoping she can put the past behind her and focus on her career.

There’s a reason Adam doesn’t get involved with his guests, even ones with the most amazing brown eyes he’s ever seen. Even ones as gorgeous, smart, and talented as Hazel. Because in the end, they all leave.

But there’s magic in the air, and he can’t watch Hazel struggle. Especially when he just might have the solution to her writer’s block.

Too bad it might cost him his heart.

••••••

REVIEW:JUST LIKE MAGIC is the first instalment in Tara Wyatt’s contemporary, adult GOSSAMER FALLS erotic, romance series. This is thirty-nine year old divorcee and author Hazel Woodward, and forty year old inn manager Adam Shephard’s story line.

Enter Adam Shephard, the man with whom Hazel will fall in love. Adam is /was a struggling writer whose writing, although critically acclaimed, resulted in little enthusiasm from the public.

What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Hazel and Adam, and the potential fall-out as Hazel’s time in Gossamer Falls comes to a close

The world building introduces the people and secrets of Gossamer Falls. There is a ‘magical’ history to the town, and Shephard’s Inn, and with it, comes the idealistic caution of finding one’s happily ever after.

The relationship between Hazel and Adam is one of immediate attraction but Adam finds himself struggling with a direction in life, at the same time, Hazel battles between head and heart, focusing on her inability to write her next successful release. As Hazel and Adam begin the dance of seduction, our couple will discover their connection is the perfect start to their mutual careers. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

TEASE ME (The Kings of Hell’s Kitchen .5) by Tara Wyatt

ebook FREE Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Google Play /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 7, 2023

I wasn’t looking to fall for an angel. But the first time I laid eyes on Whitney Vanek, that’s what happened.

Then I found out she’s my boss’s girl’s best friend. Someone I won’t be able to avoid, even though I know I should.

Because a woman like that? Gorgeous and smart and full of life? She’s not for me. She thinks she knows me, but she doesn’t. She doesn’t know the things I’ve done. The people I’ve hurt. What these scarred hands are capable of.

So I’ll do the only thing I can. I’ll watch over her. A guardian devil, built for her protection. Like the thorns that protect the beautiful rose, I’ll be the ugly that makes anything that tries to hurt her bleed.

And if she’s ever in danger, I’ll risk everything for her.

Even my soul.

•••••

REVIEW: TEASE ME is the prequel novella in Tara Wyatt’s contemporary, adult THE KINGS OF HELL’S KITCHEN erotic, criminal underworld, romance series-a spin off from the author’s THE PRESCOTTS series. This is former Irish mob enforcer turned security specialist, forty-four year old Killian Byrne, and twenty-eight year old fantasy author Whitney Vanek’s story line. TEASE ME can be read as a stand alone but for back story I recommend reading BAD INTENTIONS (Prescott 4) for backstory.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Killian and Whitney) following several timelines TEASE ME follows the introduction of Killian Byrne to the soon to be Kings of Hell’s Kitchen. Approximately twenty years earlier, Killian’s entire family was murdered by a rival mob, and Killian sought sanctuary with Julian Prescott. Over the years Killian would become Julian’s right hand man, his enforcer and protector but always standing in the shadows, dark and alone until the day Killian meets Julian’s fiancée’s best friend Whitney, the woman who stirred something deep within our story line hero. Killian believed his work would place a target on any woman he loved so he kept his distance from Whitney Vanek. Three years would pass as Killian watched from the sidelines, knowing he would never have a chance at family and love.

TEASE ME is a bit of a teaser; a prequel that introduces some of the background and history of Killian Byrne, and his desire for a woman he cannot have. The premise is captivating and intriguing; the characters are resigned and reserved; there is no romance but for the thoughts and yearnings of two people who continue to lust after one another-from afar.

SKIN DEEP (The Prescotts 8) by Tara Wyatt-a review

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

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 7, 2022.

Sometimes friendship is just another word for love.

Violet MacAllister is no stranger to rejection. Growing up with dyslexia, she was bullied mercilessly, making her feel as though she would never be good enough. And she believed it—until she found art and a new way of expressing herself. But her wounds run deep, and even though she’s been pining over her best friend Hudson for years, he has no idea, and she intends to keep it that way. He’s everything she could ever want—sensitive, artistic, hard-working, smart, and so, so hot—but she knows they’ll only ever be friends.

Hudson Prescott has been through a lot. He lost his father as a child, his fiancée jilted him, and six months ago, he was in a terrifying motorcycle accident that could’ve cost him his life. The one bright spot through the dark times has been his friend and co-worker Violet, who’s talented, driven to help others, and a total sweetheart. She’s his closest friend, and he’d be lost without her.

But one emotional night, everything changes, and suddenly Hudson’s seeing Violet in a different light. One that has him questioning how he could’ve been so blind to what was in front of him this entire time: Violet, with her curls, and tattoos, and her laugh that feels like sunshine. So when Violet has a proposition for him—one that involves her painting a nude portrait of him—he agrees. Because now that his eyes are open, he’ll do anything to make her see she’s the one for him.

Including bare it all.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Violet and Hudson) SKIN DEEP follows the building romance and relationship between tattoo artists thirty-three year old Hudson Prescott, and twenty-eight year old Violet MacAllister. Violet MacAllister is first and foremost an artist who volunteers at a program for children with learning disabilities, something close to her heart. Working with Hudson Prescott at Brooklyn Skin Work forces Violet to tamp down her attraction to her best friend, a friendship that may be threatened if they should cross a line but in the wake of Hudson’s motorcycle accident, the shop is struggling to survive, and Violet must make a choice between the present and the future. With an offer Violet cannot refuse comes a caveat involving the man that she loves, a caveat that place Violet and Hudson up close and personal. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Violet and Hudson,and the potential fall-out as Hudson struggles to move from the past, and Violet doesn’t want a possible sexual relationship to destroy their tight-knit friendship.

Losing his tattoo shop isn’t an option, and Hudson must come to terms with what and who he wants going forward. Violet has always wanted to open a center for children with disabilities, focusing on art therapy as a way to survive but losing Hudson would destroy her heart, and our heroine must come to a decision about her future, going forward.

The relationship between Hudson and Violet is one of immediate attraction, an employee and employer, a friends to lovers relationship in which Violet battles between head and heart believing she is not worthy, or good enough for our story line hero. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and familiar secondary and supporting characters including all of Hudson’s siblings and cousins, as well as Violet’s parents, and Hudson’s ex fiancée Jessica.

SKIN DEEP is a story of family, friendships, relationships and love; of loss and grief, memories and dreams, acceptance and love all wrapped in a ‘Gift of the Magi’ themed generosity and benevolence. The premise is emotional and heart warming; the romance is provocative and intense; the characters are captivating and charismatic

ABOUT THE BOOK: April 26, 2022.

We have to burn to rise from the ashes.

Nearly two years after her divorce, Felicity Hawthorne is ready to date again. At least, she thinks she would be, if the idea of dating wasn’t so freaking terrifying. But then she wins a date with sexy, swoony firefighter Noah Prescott at a charity bachelor auction, and everything changes.

FDNY captain Noah isn’t looking for a relationship. Since losing his father as a teenager, he’s spent the past twenty years shouldering heavy responsibilities, and he knows he doesn’t have the time or energy to be anyone’s boyfriend. But one date with sweet, charming Felicity has him wanting things he shouldn’t want.

Which is why Noah suggests Felicity practice her budding dating skills with him. He wants more of her, and practice dates are as close as he can come to having her in his life without hurting her. But then dating practice turns into practice of another kind—the kind that involves moans and sighs and orgasms—and Noah knows he’s going to fall. Hard.

REVIEW:BURNING UP is the sixth instalment in Tara Wyatt’s contemporary, adult THE PRESCOTTS erotic, first responder, romances series.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 29, 2021

Everyone in Manhattan thinks they know everything there is to know about Lucian Prescott.

In his mid-forties, he’s a successful businessman, the founder and CEO of one of Manhattan’s largest hospitality companies, the Prescott Group. He’s sexy, rich, and one of the most eligible bachelors in the city. Very few people know just how dangerous he is. Because he’s also the head of the Kings of Hell’s Kitchen, a small, elite group of former mob members who are the lynchpin in Manhattan’s underground organized crime scene.

But Lucian has more secrets than just his criminal ties—like the fact that he’s been in love with Olivia Walsh for the past five years. Olivia, who is eighteen years younger than him and happens to be the daughter of Prescott Group’s biggest, most important investor. She’s completely off-limits, but that doesn’t stop him from wanting her. In his arms. His bed. His life.

He knows he needs to stay away from her, no matter how he feels about her—or how she feels about him. But staying away becomes impossible when Olivia’s ex—a man almost as dangerous as Lucian—begins stalking her, and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe.

He’ll burn down the entire city to protect the only woman he’s ever loved.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Lucian and Olivia) using present day and memories from the past, BAD INTENTIONS follows the forbidden, older man /younger woman romance and relationship between forty-five year old, CEO of the Prescott Group and head of the Kings of Hell’s Kitchen Lucian Prescott, and twenty-six year old, interior designer Olivia Walsh. Approximately five years earlier, Lucian Prescott fell in love with his business partner’s daughter, a woman eighteen years his junior, and thusly off limits. Over the next five years, Julian and Olivia would randomly meet at parties and get togethers but it is not until her father asks a favor does Julian know Olivia is now his for the claiming. But…when Olivia’s ex-boyfriend begins to demand everything and more, Julian becomes guardian and protector of the woman that calls to his heart. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Julian and Olivia, and the potential fall-out when an assassin sets his sights on our story line heroine.

Julian Prescott is the head of a group known as the Kings of Hell’s Kitchen, a well connected group of former members of organized crime who act as go-betweens when the criminal underworld take aim at one another but Julian will quickly discover Olivia’s ex is as dangerous as they come, and Julian is no longer satisfied to sit back and wait for someone else to take control. Olivia Walsh has known since the first time she laid eyes on Julian Prescott, that he would one day be her man but Olivia’s business is about to take off, and if not for her ex on the constant prowl, everything about her life would be perfect. When the threats against Olivia become more dangerous and dark, Julian calls in help from the Kings of Hell’s Kitchen but even they are not infallible when someone else is determined to take back what doesn’t belong

The relationship between Julian and Olivia is older man/younger woman (May-December romance) wherein five years of lusting after one another finally comes to fruition. Olivia’s father is not impressed with Olivia’s choice in men but Julian is the perfect foil for the man that is targeting our story line heroine. Julian has always believed he would never settle down but when threats against Olivia bring Julian front and center, Julian knows that it is only a matter of time before he claims Olivia as his own. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including all of the previous story lines couples, as well as the Kings of Hell’s Kitchen:Luca Romano, Ryu Shiroda, Killian Byrne and Sasha Petrov. We are introduced to Olivia’s father Gavin Walsh, several of our heroine’s BFFs, Olivia’s ex Massimo Greco, and Julian’s cousins Noah, Hudson and Levi.

BAD INTENTIONS is a story of family, friendships, relationships and love; a story of betrayal and vengeance, obsession and retribution, power and control. The fast paced premise is gritty and captivating; the romance is spicy and provocative; the characters are energetic, powerful and determined. BAD INTENTIONS is my first story by Tara Wyatt, but it definitely won’t be my last- I am going to have to go back to the beginning, where it all began.
