  Hit all the right buttons. When Garrett needs to give a new toy a trial run, he recruits some help… in a very Treasure Trove way. The winner of his makeshift competition calls upon some old friends who could use a little playtime with a toy that likes to make the rules and isn’t afraid to dole out punishment if they’re not followed. Slap and Tap is book 3 in the Treasure Trove Series. The stories are sequential but can be read as standalones. Treasure Trove is a sentient object playroom located in the basement of everyone’s favorite toy shop, Hidden Treasures. Created by one of the Kyleverse’s favorite meddlers, Garrett, it’s home to some objects you’ve met before and some you’ll love to meet. Unlike in the Kyleverse, while there are many happy endings, these aren’t true romances. Everyone will leave more than satisfied, though. Slap and Tap contains explicit material. It is intended for 18+ readers. My Review Nicole gives us readers no chance to slowly settle into the story befo...

Worth risking everything for a shot at winning everything. What happens when the person you can't have becomes the one you can't live without? When Leif and Charlie surrender to their insatiable desire, secret dates become stolen kisses, and passion b...

  Raine doesn't do help. She participates in an underground fight circuit, owns her own bike shop, and fixes what breaks, fighting what won’t stay down. She’s learned the hard way that relying on people just gives them something to take from you later. But then three men start showing up anyway. They’re best friends, oddly persistent, and for some reason, have decided she’s their problem now. Elias is quiet and watchful, the kind of man who notices everything and steps in to care for everyone before they even ask. He offers help like it’s a given, and never makes a big deal out of it. It's just his nature. Theo is the boy you root for, soft and gentle, awkward and shy, but strong and intelligent. He listens more than he talks, at least around her. He doesn’t push too hard, staying solid and patient in a way that’s harder to shake for her. Jax is loud, reckless, and fiercely loyal. All impulse and heat, crashing into her life with laughter and a refusal to let her push them away...
