One of my oldest and dearest friends joins us today to discuss novels by Pippa Grant. Sandra Berman learned to love romance novels from me, but now she could teach me a thing or two about the genre. An avid reader, a watcher of Hallmark Movies, Sandy’s true love is Broadway theater. Do not go up against her in a Broadway trivia content. Trust me!
Welcome, Sandy!
About Pippa Grant Novels:
In January, I read The Hot Mess and The Hearthrob by Pippa Grant. I read a lot of books in January, but that is another story. I loved it, and it made me want to reread the earlier books in the series.
Now, thanks to my friend Maddy, I reread Mister McHottie, the book that starts the Pippa Grant universe. If you are looking for a fun read with lots of books to follow, you are in the right place.
Pippa has written a number of series, most containing four books: The Girl Band Series, Bro Code series (former boy band members), Thrusters Hockey series and the Cooper Valley Fireballs baseball series.
Why Mister McHottie?
Mister McHottie is the first book in the Girl Band series. Still with me? The Girl Band series is getting new covers, which is something that happens to books. Why new covers? Beats me, but it gives me a chance to tell you about this great series.
Mister McHottie has some classic romance tropes: enemies to lovers, falling for the boss, second chance at love – all with one couple! Chace and Sia were friends (and more!) in high school but haven’t spoken since. Sia goes to work at “Crunchy” (NOT Whole) Foods one day and finds out Chace bought the company. She might hate him, but there is still steam there. Do you think they will end up together? You’ll have to read the book!
Mister McHottie sets the stage for about a dozen fun books. Sia and her 3 best friends have a band that plays hits from 80’s boy bands – they play juice bars and retirement parties, but they have fun. The four of them have jobs and relatives that set up the rest of the series – brothers who are princes, play professional hockey, pro baseball, sing in boy bands – you get the picture.
A well written series with fun characters and great stories. Thanks for giving me an excuse to reread this book!

About MISTER MCHOTTIE:
The best enemies make the best lovers…
There are three things I hate:
Bratwurst in any form, my neighbors boinking like farm animals at 3 AM, and Chase Jett.
Mostly I hate Chase Jett. It’s been ten years since he took my virginity—I’d make a bratwurst joke, but the unfortunate truth is that it would have to be a brat-best joke, and yes, it kills me to admit that—and now he’s not only a billionaire, he’s also my new boss.
Turns out our hate is mutual. And this kind of hate is horrifically twisted, filthy, and banging hot.
I just might have to hate him forever.
Mister McHottie is the hilariously sexy romantic comedy that your mother warned you about, complete with an organic happy-ever-after (or seven), a Bratwurst Wagon, ill-advised office pranks, and no cheating or cliffhangers.

About STUD IN THE STACKS:
He’s a librarian by day and the ideal fake boyfriend by night.
When it comes to women, I know what they want. And all day long, I give it to them. Dark, broody, and sexy? You got it. Need to laugh? I’m your guy. Desperate for something to put you in the mood? You’ve come to the right place, kitten.
Every morning when my library opens, there’s a line around the block, the ladies flocking to me in need of their next book boyfriend. I’m that dude. The one who knows his way around the romance section.
And after years of study, my skills don’t stop at the day job. Need a fake boyfriend, fiancé, or friend-with-benefits? I know that plot. I also know to keep my heart off the table, because love is only real between the pages of a book.
So when Parker Elliott needs a temporary fake boyfriend for a reunion, of course I step in. She rocks a mean guitar, she has no idea how sexy she is, and we have something of a history.
Easy, right?
Yep. Piece of cake.
Except this time, I’m actually in danger of falling in love.
Stud in the Stacks is 55,000 sexy, hilarious, sometimes embarrassing words, complete with tacos, romance novel love, unicorn parties, and no cheating or cliffhangers.

About ROCKAWAY BRIDE:
A Rock Star Kidnaps a Runaway Bride…Kidnapping the bride seemed like a good idea at the time.
Her fiancé stole my fortune, so I stole his woman.
Tit for tat. Or tat for tit. However you want to look at it.
The one thing I didn’t expect?
Willow Honeycutt, preschool teacher, boy band super fan, is completely crazy.
And somehow she’s turned the tables on me.
Now, she’s holding me hostage, and she won’t let me go until we hit every item on her sparkly new, completely insane bucket list.
And that last item?
That last item might cost me more than any fortune.
It very well might cost me my heart.
Rockaway Bride is a romping fun romance between a down-on-his-luck rock star and a boy band-loving preschool teacher, complete with a road trip, handcuffs, and fun with nuns. This romantic comedy stands alone with no cheating or cliffhangers and ends with a rockin’ awesome happily ever after.

ABOUT THE HERO AND THE HACTIVIST:
For anyone who’s ever been on the receiving end of an unsolicited dick pic…
He has the muscles of Adonis, an ego bigger than the sun, and a very clear desire to get back in my pants. Which would be fantastic if he weren’t a SEAL and I wasn’t a criminal.
Although, I prefer the term avenger.
I’m a hacktivist, cleaning up the cesspool of cyberspace one scam artist and troll at a time, and I sometimes bend a few rules to get justice done.
He’s a military man with abs of glory, sworn to uphold the letter of the law no matter its shortcomings. And if he’d known who—or what—I was, I doubt he would’ve banged me at my best friend’s wedding reception.
Or come back for more.
Which is why he’s now the only thing standing between me and one very pissed off internet troll who’s figured out where I live.
I’m pretty sure he’ll get me out of this alive—and quite satisfied, thank you very much—but I’m also pretty sure this mission will end with me in handcuffs.
And not the good kind of handcuffs.
The Hero and the Hacktivist is a romping fun SEAL / Best Friend’s Brother / Robin Hood in Cyberspace romance between a meathead and an heiress, complete with epic klutziness, terrible leg warmers, and an even worse phone virus gone wrong. This romantic comedy stands alone with no cheating or cliffhangers and ends with a fabulously fun happily ever after.
