56% on Kindle from Confessions of a Reformed Tom Cat: A Wingman Novel by Daisy Prescott.

“Mom or Dad? They wouldn't know the house, but I might as well hand over my man card for having my parents pick me up from a failed drunken booty call.”

From Goodreads:

I, Thomas Clifford Donnely, am a manwhore.

I’ve been told I’m irresistible to women. Like catnip for a different type of pussy-cat. I guess you could call me a Tom Cat.

This is the story about how I lost my wingman, broke all my own rules, and found myself falling in love.

Tom Donnelly isn't the marrying kind, or the dating kind. Even after losing his #1 wingman to love, he doesn't see the point in relationships. When his sister's best friend returns to Whidbey Island and propositions Donnelly for a one-night stand, he breaks one of his biggest rules—no fooling around with his sisters' friends. It's just sex, nothing more. That's what Tom does and does well.

What happens when "just sex" isn't enough?

Hailey King is more than a match for Tom's flirtations. She's known him most of her life and has heard the rumors about his "skills" for years. When her perfectly planned future falls apart, will the last man she should ever fall for turn out to be more than a one-night stand?

New Release Spotlight & Review: Anything But Love by Daisy Prescott

ANYTHING BUT LOVE (Wingmen, #3)

by Daisy Prescott is LIVE!

A romantic comedy you can't miss!

Amazon iBooks Barnes & Noble Kobo

Another wingman bites the dust in this enemies to lovers story…

For the past year, I’ve been working my butt off to start my own coffee company on Whidbey.

A weekend in Cabo with sun, tiny bikinis, and vacation hook-ups is exactly the kind of tension relief I need.

What I don’t need is a bruised jaw, having to bribe my way out of jail, a hellion set on ruining my life, and my mother seeing a picture of my assets on "The Twitter."

Caribou Caldwell is my worst nightmare.

Unfortunately, she’s also the star of my sexiest dreams.

What happens when a small town guy becomes the focus of a million fantasies? As Erik Kelso navigates his sudden notoriety, will his feelings for Cari turn out to be anything but love?

Anything but Love is the third book in the Wingmen series, a spin off of Modern Love Stories. Like all Wingmen books, it can be read as a standalone romantic comedy.

I just couldn't resist another Wingmen novel and Daisy Prescott had me laughing out loud right from the beginning.

When an impulsive act of fun during a holiday with his brother Carter follows them home to the locally nicknamed 'Phallus Palace', it triggers a chain of events that change Erik's life. He becomes an overnight internet sensation when a photo of his butt appears on Instagram, taken during his skinny dip dive in Mexico. The photo is traced back to the only woman who caught his eye during the fateful holiday. The purple-tipped hellcat…!

Photographer, 'Cari' Caribou Caldwell meets Erik Kelso in a nightclub in Cabo, Her jealous 'fiancé' misinterprets their dancing together, so he and Erik end up exchanging blows. The result leads to them both having to bribe local police officers when their fight ends up in the street. Cari doesn't expect to see than man who broke her boyfriend Damien's nose again, but a few clicks of her camera plus a deceitful act leads her to the man she couldn't resist photographing.

Playful banter between Erik and Cari is hilarious as insults and sarcastic responses bounce between the two of them. They give in to their lustful attraction for each other, but then something will trigger a seed of doubt, sending them both in the opposite direction. They prefer to hide, rather than share personal information, believing it's the right thing to do...until they realise they can't live without each other.

The dialogue in this novel is highly entertaining, and it's not just restricted to the protagonists. Verbal ping-pong with hilarious and witty retort bounces off most pages. I love Daisy Prescott's writing as much as I adore the Whidbey Island setting. It's fun catching up on the antics of other residents who have appeared in previous books too.

Anything But Love is a standalone novel. I recommend reading about Tom 'Tom Cat' Donnely and John Day in their novels too. All are perfect Summer escapism.

AMAZON US AMAZON UK B&N iTUNES

Confessions of a Reformed Tom Cat Synopsis:

I, Thomas Clifford Donnely, am a manwhore.

I’ve been told I’m irresistible to women. Like catnip for a different type of pussy-cat. I guess you could call me a Tom Cat.

This is the story about how I lost my wingman, broke all my own rules, and found myself falling in love.

Tom Donnelly isn't the marrying kind, or the dating kind. Even after losing his #1 wingman to love, he doesn't see the point in relationships. When his sister's best friend returns to Whidbey Island and propositions Donnelly for a one-night stand, he breaks one of his biggest rules—no fooling around with his sisters' friends. It's just sex, nothing more. That's what Tom does and does well.

What happens when "just sex" isn't enough?

Hailey King is more than a match for Tom's flirtations. She's known him most of her life and has heard the rumors about his "skills" for years. When her perfectly planned future falls apart, will the last man she should ever fall for turn out to be more than a one-night stand?

Prologue

When she walked toward me, I was ninety-percent certain she wanted to slap me. I spread my stance and tensed for the impact. Sadly, she wouldn’t be the first woman to smack me or attempt it. Good thing I was pretty fast at dodging and weaving.

I held her gaze as she got closer. Part of me wanted to close my eyes and turn the other cheek … literally. Or back down the hall and hide in the men’s room. Ah, the men’s bathroom. A place no woman dared to go unless absolutely necessary. Urinals freaked them out.

I took a big step backward and then another until the darkness of the hall to the back room enveloped me. I wasn’t running. Far from it. I moved slowly and kept my eyes on my assailant stalking toward me.

I probably should have asked myself why she wanted to slap me. Had I stopped to think, I might have realized unlike most women with the same expression on their face, I hadn’t actually given her a reason to be mad at me. At least none I knew about.

Her eyes narrowed and she cut the distance between us in half with two long strides. To my left was the door to the bathroom and potential salvation. Further behind me stood the backdoor and freedom. While I debated hiding or fleeing, she made the decision for me by grabbing the front of my shirt.

“Hey, what’s up?” Always act innocent. In this case, I didn’t have to act.

“I’ve been looking all over for you tonight.”

I raised an eyebrow. “You have?”

She stared at my mouth and pressed her lips together. “I have. Why is a good man hard to find when you need him?”

Her words rearranged themselves in my head after she’d spoken them. “Don’t you mean a hard man is good to find when you need him?”

She snorted out a laugh. “Exactly. You read my mind.” Her hand not clutching my shirt touched the bared skin above my belt.

“Hey, whoa, where you going with that hand?” I jerked my hips back to escape her wandering fingers.

“I need a good man. And since I don’t know any good men, I decided I needed a hard man tonight.”

“Okay.” I grabbed her hands in mine to protect myself from her assault. “Can I ask you one thing?”

“Sssure.”

The subtle slur answered my question, but I asked it anyway. “Have you been drinking?”

“Tommm, don’t be mean. You sleep with everyone on the island. I need you to sleep with me. Now.” The slight rasp to her voice had strengthened into a sultry purr.

Definitely not sober. “What happened to your own man? Have sex with him.”

She pressed a finger to my lips. “No talking, more sex.”

“More implies there’s some sex to begin with.” I couldn’t figure out why I bothered to argue. Sex without strings was my thing.

But could I have stringless sex with her? I had rules.

While I was lost in some sort of moral debate, she kissed me.

Worse, my body responded, and I liked it. A lot.

She was an amazing kisser—even buzzed and with grabby hands, her lips and tongue teased mine with a balance of aggression and skill.

When she bit my bottom lip, I did the smart thing. I kissed her back.
