ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 11, 2022.

The first time I met Merrick Crawford was during my job interview.

Well, technically, I’d met him twenty minutes earlier when he’d barged into a fitting room a few doors down from my appointment.

I yelled. He yelled. After an argument while standing in my bra, I proceeded to smash the door into the gorgeous jerk, trying to yank it shut.

As you might imagine, I was freaked out when I discovered that the rude guy was my potential new boss.

Yet he didn’t seem to recognize me. Or so I thought… Until we wound up bickering again during my interview and he told me to go sniff my armpit.

Okay, so maybe I hadn’t exactly been changing when he walked in on me. In my defense, I’d been stuck on a hot train for two hours and wanted to make sure I didn’t smell.

I obviously didn’t expect to get the job. But somehow an invitation to a second interview arrived in my inbox.

Before I left, I asked to see Merrick. I needed to know why I was even in consideration after our disastrous start.

Turned out, Merrick only wanted to hire me because I was the least competent candidate. It seemed his board was making him fill the position, against his wishes.

I didn’t really want to work in a place where my boss expected me to fail. But I figured maybe I’d enjoy proving him wrong. It was a little thing I dubbed the boss project.

What I wasn’t prepared for was that there would be other things I’d enjoy doing to Merrick Crawford.

Getting involved with the boss wasn’t the smartest choice.

But you know what they say about choices: Some we regret, some we are proud of. I just had no idea where this one was going to land.

REVIEW:THE BOSS PROJECT by Vi Keeland is a contemporary, adult, stand alone, erotic, romance story line focusing on thirty –two year old investment trader/business owner Merrick Crawford, and therapist Dr. Everly ‘Evie’ Vaughn.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Merrick and Evie) THE BOSS PROJECT follows therapist Dr. Evie Vaughn as she is hired to be the in-house counsellor for Crawford Investments. Evie’s last job ended when she discovered her boss aka her fiance sleeping with her best friend aka maid of honor just hours before they were to be wed. Having posted the video of the wedding and the affair, Evie finds herself on the hunt for new employment having made a name for herself in the social media but a day of disasters finds Evie facing down her potential boss, a man who believes Evie is all wrong for the job. A second interview guarantees Dr. Everly Vaughn a position at Crawford Investments, a position that brings Evie up close and personal with the man with whom she will fall in love but all is not well in Merrick Crawford’s life, as he struggles to let go of a past that is both heart breaking and painful for our story line heroine. What ensues is the building but forbidden romance and relationship between Evie and Merrick, and the potential fall-out as Merrick continues to struggles with demons from the past, pushing our heroine out of his life.

Merrick Crawford is a powerful man in the world of investor trading but his reputation precedes his successful business acumen, and oft-times his employees and traders suffer in the work place for their boss’ demands-enter Dr. Everly Vaughn, the new in-house therapist, who is hoping to aid the employees through difficult times. Merrick continues to battle the guilt, grief and heart break of loss and betrayal but doesn’t believe in therapy, and doesn’t believe in our story line heroine.

The relationship between Evie and Merrick begins as a professional relationship wherein Evie is hired by our story line hero. From the outset, Evie struggles with Merrick’s less than accepting attitude towards our story line heroine, an attitude that will slowly reveal demons from the past. Evie knows that to get in involved with Merrick could be the end of her job and possibly her career but the hearts wants something is knows it cannot have. Still struggling with the betrayal by her ex-fiance and former best friend, Evie finds herself having to face what happened and why. The $ex scenes are intimate, provocative and passionate, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Merrick’s best friend and investor Will; the head of HR Joan Davis; as well as Merrick’s grandmother Kitty; and Evie’s sister Greer.

THE BOSS PROJECT is a story of betrayal, heart break; acceptance and love. The premise is captivating and entertaining ; the characters are energetic, strong, determined and charismatic although vaguely familiar to several characters in the television show Billions™; the romance is seductive, intense and dramatic.

The Summer Proposal by Vi Keeland-Review Tour

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Chapters Indigo / Google Play /Apple /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 10, 2022

The first time I met Max Yearwood was on a blind date.
Max was insanely gorgeous, funny, and our chemistry was off the charts. He also had the biggest dimples I’d ever laid eyes on.
Exactly what I needed after my breakup.
Or so I thought…
Until my real date arrived.
Turned out, Max wasn’t who I was there to meet. He only pretended to be until my real date showed up.
To say I was disappointed would be an understatement.
Before he left, he slipped me a ticket to a hockey game a few blocks away, in case things didn’t work out on my actual date.
I tossed the ticket into my purse and went about trying to enjoy the man I was supposed to meet.
But my real blind date and I had no connection.
So on my way home, I decided to take a chance and stop by the game.
When I arrived, the seat next to me was empty.
Disappointed again, I decided to leave at the end of the period.
Just before the buzzer, one of the teams scored, and the entire arena went crazy.
A player’s face flashed up on the Jumbotron. He was wearing a helmet, but I froze when he smiled.
You guessed it: Dimples.
Apparently, my fake blind date hadn’t invited me to watch hockey with him, he’d invited me to watch him play.
And so began my adventure with Max Yearwood.
He was everything I needed at the time—fun, sexy, up for anything, and only around for a few months since he’d signed with a new team three-thousand miles away.
Max proposed we spend the summer helping me forget my ex. It sounded like a good plan. Things couldn’t get too serious when we had an expiration date. Right?
Though, you know what they say about the best-laid plans.

REVIEW:THE SUMMER PROPOSAL by Vi Keeland is a stand alone, contemporary,adult, erotic, hockey romance story line focusing on twenty-nine year old,professional hockey player and team captain Max ‘Pretty Boy’ Yearwood, and twenty-seven year old, business woman Georgia Delaney.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Max and Georgia) THE SUMMER PROPOSAL follows the building romance and relationship between twenty-nine year old,professional hockey player Max ‘Pretty Boy’ Yearwood, and twenty-seven year old, business woman Georgia Delaney. Georgia Delaney had been set up on a blind date but the man who arrived was nothing like he had been described and the chemistry between the two was palpable. When Georgia’s real date arrived, the pretend date offered our heroine tickets to that night’s hockey game, and the rest is history when Georgia discovers her ‘not’ blind date was none other than professional hockey player Max Yearwood. With a complicated past that was still a part of her present, Georgia was reluctant to become involved with someone else but Max persisted, offering a summer together, before our hero would embark on the next leg of his career. Never expecting to fall in love, Georgia struggled with a past that wouldn’t let go, a past that wanted more from our story line heroine. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Georgia and Max, and the potential fall-out as Max’s demons prevent our hero from committing to forever, pushing Georgia out of his life, threatening his own life in the process.

Georgia Delaney had yet to let go of her last relationship, a relationship that was more complicated than anyone could have ever imagined. Refusing to cut the proverbial ties, Georgia struggled with promises of forever, and a heart that wanted someone else. Max Yearwood had never found love yet something about Georgia pulled at his heart but Max had a secret that he refused to reveal, a secret that may end more than his relationship with the woman he loved.

The relationship between Max and Georgia is one of immediate attraction but one predicated upon a lie. Max was not the man Georgia had expected but he is the man that was about to destroy her heart. A summer of romance and $ex meant a summer growing closer together but also a relationship that came with dead line. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense but without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Georgia’s best friend and marketing promoter Maggie; hockey player Tomasso and his wife Jenna; Max’s brother Tate and his wife Cassidy, and their mother Rose; and Georgia’s ex Gabriel.

THE SUMMER PROPOSAL is a story of family, relationships, love and loss. The premise is emotional and heart breaking; the romance is seductive and provocative; the characters are fun, energetic and determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 26, 2021.

It all started with a bet.
When my young son inherited half of his great grandfather’s historic inn, I decided to move us both to the place where I grew up.
Notice I said half of the Inn. The other half now belonged to Levi Miller, the famous quarterback who had other ideas about what we should do with the property.
We won’t mention that I accidentally injured him during our first meeting, causing him to get eight stitches.
You could say we got off on the wrong foot.
We bickered a lot as we both moved into the property while we figured things out.
He wanted to unload the rundown place which, admittedly, needed a lot of work.
I wanted to restore The Palm Inn to its original beauty and re-open it as a bed and breakfast.
We couldn’t agree on anything. So Levi made me a proposal. One he thought I would surely lose. If I could sell out the place by the time he had to leave for training at the end of summer, he would back off and let me run it.
But in the weeks that followed, we got more than we bargained for while we were living under the same roof.
Levi and I got closer, and before I knew it, my nightly fantasies about the brawny Adonis became a reality. Not to mention, he was so great with my son.
We were in over our heads in more ways than one.
Because not only was he the last man on Earth I should be falling for because of our deal, but Levi was also my ex’s older brother.
And now the inn was the least of my problems.

REVIEW: WELL PLAYED is a stand alone, contemporary,adult, erotic story line co-authored by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward focusing on single mother Presley, and professional football player Levi Miller.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Presley and Levi) WELL PLAYED focuses on the building romance and relationship between single mother Presley, and professional football player Levi Miller. With the death of his beloved grandfather, quarterback Levi Miller, and with his brother’s seven year old son Alex, inherited the family own Palm Inn but as Alex was too young to assume any responsibility, the onus fell on his mother, Presley, Levi’s brother’s ex, and the mother of his son. Hoping to turn the Palm Inn into a Bed and Breakfast, Presley begins working on reparations only to discover that Levi is hoping to sell the building, and move on with his life. Desperate to make a go of the B&B, Presley and Levi come to an agreement whereby at the end of the summer, either Presley or Levi will have gotten their way. What ensues is the building ‘forbidden’ romance and relationship between Presley and Levi, as our couple work together to set up the Inn, just in time for Levi’s brother Tanner to return home.

Levi Miller never expected to fall for his brother’s ex but working side by side pulled our couple together. Without his brother in the picture, Levi found himself both father and uncle to a young boy whose father was rarely on his radar. Presley knew to fall for Levi would mean a bigger problem for the Miller family including Levi’s mother Shelby who never knew the truth behind what happened, and was hoping for Presley and Tanner to once again, fall in love.

The relationship between Levi and Presley is a forbidden romance, a brother’s ex-girlfriend, friends to lovers arrangement that quickly merges into a triangle of love. Both Tanner and Levi are vying for Presley’s attention, and in this, our heroine struggles with her ex’s unwanted attention but refuses to reveal the truth, though the time has come. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense but I dislike the use of a certain four-letter work, although only used once, more for shock value than anything else.

We are introduced to Levi’s brother and Presley’s ex Tanner, as well as their mother Shelby; Tanner and Presley’s son Alex, Alex’s coach Jeremy Brickson, Presley’s best friend Harper, and Palm Inn permanent resident Fern.

WELL PLAYED is an emotional story of secrets and heart break, family and relationships, love and understanding. The premise is essentially an edgy and awkward love triangle ; the romance is intimate and seductive; the characters are energetic, lost, struggling and tragic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 12, 2021

Before I even met Donovan Decker, I knew his shoe size.
You see, I’d gone away for a few days, and in my haste to get out of the airport, I’d grabbed the wrong suitcase.
After checking out the expensive footwear and tailored clothes, I dialed the number on the luggage tag hoping maybe Mister Big Spender might have my bag.
A deep, velvety voice answered, and as luck would have it, he had my suitcase, too.
Donovan and I met at a coffee shop to do the exchange.
Turned out, it wasn’t just his voice that was sexy. The man holding my luggage was absolutely gorgeous, and we had an immediate spark.
He got me to admit that I’d snooped in his bag and then convinced me to make it up to him by letting him buy me coffee.
Coffee led to dinner, dinner led to dessert, and dessert led to spending an entire weekend together. Donovan wasn’t just handsome with a panty-dropping voice. He was also funny, smart, and surprisingly down to earth for a man who wore seven-hundred-dollar shoes.
Did I mention he also did my laundry while I slept? Definitely too good to be true.
So what did I do to repay him for his kindness?
I waited until he was in the shower, then ghosted him.
My life was too complicated for such a great guy.
In the months that passed, I thought about Donovan often.
But New York City had eight-million people, so what were the chances I’d run into him?
Then again, what were the chances I’d run into him a year later…when I’d just started dating his boss?

REVIEW:THE SPARK by Vi Keeland is a stand alone, contemporary, adult, erotic, romance story line focusing on twenty-eight year old social worker Autumn Wilde, and thirty year old attorney Donovan Decker.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Donovan and Autumn) using present day and memories from the past, THE SPARK focuses in the wake of Autumn Wilde accidentally grabbing the wrong luggage from the airport, followed by a three day weekend with attorney Donovan Decker. The next morning, Autumn will ghost our story line hero, and ten months will pass before Autumn faces our hero again, when her twelve year old client needs legal help and Donovan has been assigned to the case but ten months has changed the direction of Autumn’s life, and she is no longer available or looking for love. As Donovan and Autumn work together to both protect and support their mutual client, Autumn struggles with the who and what of her current relationship, a man who controls Donovan’s future. What ensues the building romance and relationship between Autumn and Donovan, and the potential fall-out as Autumn’s past continues to affect her present, her future, and quite possibly, her relationship with our story line hero.

Autumn Wilde has struggled for close to six years, a struggle that has affected all of her relationships going forward but Donovan Decker was about to break through our heroine’s facade, a facade that hid a painful past. Donovan Decker is on the fast track to make partner at the law firm for which he works but one of the partners posed a problem for our story line hero, a problem that was about to affect everything in both his personal and professional life.

The relationship between Autumn and Donovan begins accidentally when Autumn picks up Donovan’s luggage by mistake but their ‘friends only’ weekend together ends when our heroine leaves without looking back, but Donovan never forgot about the one that got away. Ten months later, Autumn is ‘dating’ Donovan’s boss, but the relationship is going no where fast. Refusing to cross the proverbial line, the palpable sexual attraction continues to be heavy and hot. The $ex scenes are passionate and seductive.

We are introduced to Donovan’s friends and fellow attorneys Trent and Juliette ; boss and law firm partner Blake Dickson ; twelve year old Augustus Storm; Donovan’s mentor and friend Frances ‘Bud’ Yankowski; Autumn’s father Gerald Wilde; and Autumn’s ex Braden Erlich.

THE SPARK is a story of power and control, betrayal and obsession, relationships, friendships, acceptance and love. The premise is emotional and haunting; the characters are dynamic and edgy; the romance is passionate and heart warming.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 12, 2021

Finding a good roommate through a classified ad isn’t as easy as it sounds.

I was starting to lose hope.

Until a knock at my door came and God answered my prayers.

Except…uh…wrong prayer, God.

I’d definitely requested the big guy find me a drop-dead gorgeous man on more than one occasion…just not as my roommate.

Declan Tate talked me into interviewing him anyway.

While he was amusing and charismatic, I wouldn’t have been comfortable living with a man, so I regretfully declined.

Then cupcakes showed up at my door—freshly baked by Declan and just as sinfully delicious as he was.

You could say he was persistent.

I eventually folded. It wasn’t like I had another viable candidate anyway.

Plus, I was interested in someone else. And Declan was into another woman. So it wasn’t like anything would happen romantically.

After he moved in, the two of us became the best of friends. We even started to give each other advice on getting our crushes to notice us.

Eventually, Declan concocted an idea: we should pretend to be a couple to make our love interests jealous.

I was hesitant, but went along with it anyway. To my utter shock, his crazy plan worked.

Now I was dating the supposed man of my dreams, and my best friend had the woman of his.

But there was one problem.

I couldn’t stop thinking about Declan.

Those feelings we were trying to fake?

Yeah…I wasn’t pretending anymore.

REVIEW:NOT PRETENDING ANYMORE by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward is a stand alone, contemporary, adult, romance story line focusing on twenty-eight year old, advertising executive Declan Tate, and obstetrics nurse Molly Corrigan.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Molly and Declan) NOT PRETENDING ANYMORE follows the building romance and relationship between twenty-eight year old, advertising executive Declan Tate, and obstetrics nurse Molly Corrigan. Molly Corrigan needed a roommate and having rejected all prior applicants Molly knew that Declan Tate was both the right and wrong choice. Both were apparently attracted to other people but Declan’s suggestion to make their potential significant others jealous meant getting up close and personal with one another but as their relationships begin to take shape, their hearts want something or someone else. What ensues is the building relationship between Declan and Molly, as both reconsider the who and what of their current choices, and Declan’s time in Chicago comes to a close.

Declan Tate is only in Chicago for a six month assignment but his assignment finds him working with the woman that supposedly calls to his heart. Meeting Molly Corrigan gave Declan Tate thoughts for something different but Declan had a secret that threatened all future relationships including the one with the woman with whom he was falling in love. Molly Corrigan thought she knew what she wanted, and her current obsession was the hot obstetrics doctor where she worked but living with Declan Tate meant Molly was rethinking her future, a future that may or may not include our story line hero.

The relationship between Molly and Declan begins as roommates that quickly turns into something more but for an intents and purposes NOT PRETENDING ANYMORE is a story of two love triangles, love triangles where most if not everyone is going to get hurt. The slow building, sexual attraction is palpable; the lone $ex scene is passionate.

We are introduced to Molly’s love interest Dr. Will Daniels, her co-workers Emma and Daisy, and her father Dr. Robert Corrigan, and his wife Kayla; Declan’s co-worker Julia, as well as his sister-Sister Catherine; and bartender Belinda.

NOT PRETENDING ANYMORE is a story of attraction, relationships, obsession and love; a story of family, friendships, decisions, and acceptance. The premise is captivating with great back and forth flirting and camaraderie between our leading couple; the romance is wonderful yet frustrating knowing neither one was willing to admit their attraction to one another; the characters are charismatic and fun.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 18,2021

The first time I met Hudson Rothschild was at a wedding. I’d received an unexpected invitation to one of the swankiest venues in the city.

Hudson was a groomsman and quite possibly the most gorgeous man I’d ever laid eyes on. He asked me to dance, and our chemistry was off the charts.

I knew it wasn’t a good idea to get involved with him, considering the wedding I was at. But our connection was intense, and I was having a great time.

Though the fun came to a screeching halt when Hudson figured out I wasn’t who I’d said I was. You see, that unexpected invitation I received? Well, it hadn’t actually been addressed to me—it was sent to my ex-roommate who’d bounced a check for two months’ rent and moved out in the middle of the night. I figured she owed me an expensive night out, but I guess, technically, I was crashing the wedding.

Once caught, I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. As I bolted for the door, I might’ve plucked a few bottles of expensive champagne off the tables I passed, all while the gorgeous, angry groomsman was hot on my tail.

Outside, I jumped into a taxi. My heart ricocheted against my ribs as we drove down the block—but at least I’d escaped unscathed.

Or so I thought.

Until I realized I’d left my cell phone behind at the table.

Take one guess who found it?

This is the crazy story of how Hudson Rothschild and I met. But trust me, it’s only the tip of the iceberg.

Stella Bardot knows betrayal first hand having found her ex-fiance in a compromising position but it was not only her ex-fiance that destroyed her heart. Our heroine likes to collect journals and diaries, and in this, Stella lives the lives of the people, from the pages inside.

The relationship between Hudson and Stella begins as a lie, and struggles in the face of Stella’s deceit. A quick building professional relationship leads to a slow building romance but Hudson is about to face a betrayal that may affect their relationship going forward. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

GOODREADS LINK: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51494123-happily-letter-after

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 20. 2020.

My love story all started with a letter.

Only it wasn’t from the man I’d eventually fall in love with. It was from his daughter. A sweet little girl named Birdie Maxwell who’d written to the magazine that I worked for.

You see, once a year, my employer fulfilled a few wishes for readers. Only that column didn’t start up again for months.

So I fulfilled some of her wishes myself. It was harmless…so I thought. Until one day I took things too far.

While anonymously granting yet another of Birdie’s wishes, I got a look at her father. Her devastatingly handsome, single dad father.

I should have stopped playing fairy godmother then. I should have left well enough alone. But I just couldn’t help myself. I had a connection to this girl. One that had me acting irrationally.

Like showing up on their doorstep.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 13, 2020

The feud between Weston Lockwood and me started at the altar.

Only neither of us attended the wedding, and the nuptials happened decades before either of us was born.

Our grandfathers had been best friends and business partners, at least up until my grandfather’s wedding day—when his bride-to-be blurted out she couldn’t marry him because she was also in love with Weston‘s grandfather.

The two men spent years fighting over Grace Copeland, who also happened to be their third business partner.  But in the end, neither man could steal half of her heart away from the other.

Eventually, they all went their separate ways. Our grandfathers married other women, and the two men became one of the biggest business rivals in history.

Our fathers continued the family tradition of feuding. And then Weston and I did, too.

For the most part, we kept as much distance as possible.

Until the day the woman who started the feud died—and unexpectedly left one of the most valuable hotels in the world to our grandfathers to share.

Now I’m stuck in a hotel with the man I was born to hate, trying to unravel the mess our families inherited.

As usual, it didn’t take long for us to be at each other’s throats.

Weston Lockwood was everything I hated: tall, smart, cocky, and too gorgeous for his own good.  We were fire and ice. 

But that shouldn’t be an issue. Our families were used to being at war. There was just one minor problem, though. Every time Weston and I fought, we somehow wound up in bed.

REVIEW:THE RIVALS by Vi Keeland is a stand alone, contemporary erotic romance story line focusing on hoteliers and rivals Sophia Sterling and Weston Lockwood.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Sophia and Weston) THE RIVALS follows the enemies to lovers relationship between hoteliers and rivals Sophia Sterling and Weston Lockwood. Decades earlier Grace Copeland fell in love with two men-Oliver Lockwood and August Sterling-thus ending a friendship and partnership that would turn into a rivalry that pitted the Lockwoods and Sterlings against one another for years to come. With the recent passions of Grace Copeland, the Lockwoods and Sterlings each inherited 49% of the Grace Copeland’s The Countess Hotel, forcing our story line couple to work together in an effort to prove who was worthy of the remaining 2 %. But like the previous generations, Sophia and Weston grew up hating one another, a hate based fed by the competitive nature of the Lockwood and Sterling patriarchs. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Sophia and Weston, and the potential fall-out as secrets and lies threaten any chance of happiness for our story line couple.

Weston Lockwood is the proverbial bad boy but as such our hero struggles with his place in the Lockwood family. Having lost the only person he has ever loved, Weston has floundered, slowly spiralling out of control. Working along side Sophia Sterling is Weston’s last chance to prove he is capable of taking control but in the end it is Sophia who is taking control of Weston’s heart.

The relationship between Sophia and Weston is an enemies to lovers wherein our couple spent one night together years before. Forced to work beside the man whose attitude and ego push Sophia’s buttons, our heroine quickly finds herself falling for a man who is about to break her heart. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Sophia’s father, and her half-brother Spencer, Sophia’s best friend Scarlett, as well as several employees at The Countess Hotel.

THE RIVALS is a story of family, friendships, betrayal and love. A story about one woman who fell in love with two men, a love that would set into motion decades of hatred between two families for no other reason than jealousy and a broken heart. The premise is captivating and intriguing; the romance is passionate and seductive; the characters are energetic, colorful and charismatic.
