It’s release day for Ryan!

“All He Ever Desired was exactly what I had hoped it would be: sweet, romantic, laugh-out-loud hilarious, sexy, fun, and incredibly satisfying.” — Kindle Gal, Kindles & Wine

All He Ever Desired

Contemporary romance
Book 5 in the Kowalski series

A second shot at first love

After college, Ryan Kowalski decided to leave Whitford, Maine, rather than watch Lauren Carpenter marry another man. Now his siblings need his help to refurbish the family-owned Northern Star Lodge and he’s forced to face the past sooner rather than later when he collars a vandal—and learns the boy is Lauren’s son…

The last person Lauren needs back in her life is Ryan Kowalski. With a bitter ex-husband and a moody teenage son, she has enough man trouble already. But her son needs to learn a few lessons about right and wrong, even if Lauren has to escort him to Ryan’s door every day to work off his crime.

With all this close contact, Ryan and Lauren can’t deny the chemistry between them is as powerful as ever. But can a few searing kisses erase their past and pave the way for a second chance at true love?

    While I haven’t heard definitively, I’m 99.9% sure this one will show up at Audible within the week. All of my Carina titles have, so I can’t imagine they wouldn’t do this one. Sorry for the delay, but it’s not usually more than a few days.

    Got my copy last night! Loved catching up with the whole family. I can’t wait for Josh and Katie’s story now, Januray can’t come fast enough. Loved the hint about Liz as well.

    Ordered it on the Kindle the night before and read it completely Monday. My husband was joking with me the whole night at how far I was! Loved it!!! I kinda wanna reread it now. So glad it came out when it did…especially b/c I didn’t think it was coming out until January at one point! Can’t wait for Josh and Katie’s story…the sneak peak was fantastic!!! :)

    Visiting with the Kowalskis is like enjoying your favorite comfort food without the calories! My only quibble is that it ended too soon. :)

    Loved the teen.

    How many more books are there? Is there another one after Josh? I’d like to hear more about the ooops upstairs after the wedding. LOL

    There aren’t any official details on books after Josh yet, but I will be writing Liz’s story. That oops upstairs was definitely a hint. :)

    And folks seem to want to see Hailey find her Prince Charming, so I think we’ll be seeing the Kowalskis for a while yet.

    Good to know.

    Hailey definitely needs her Prince Charming, so does Rosie (although I think I’ve seen him ;) ).

    And Julie’s going to need an X-ray file for her Paperwhite to keep track of all the Kowalskis et al!

    Thanks so much for your terrific books.

    (Kevin still hasn’t dropped out of the #1 spot.)

    There’s supposed to be, but Audible hasn’t made it available yet. I’ll have to nudge them again!
