Title: Solo
Series: Symphony Hall #1
Author: Lauren E. Rico
Genre: New Adult Romance
Release Date: May 8, 2017 Publisher: Entangled Publishing
When graduate student Katherine Brenner walked into my class, I couldn’t stand her -- all perfect skin and big, blue eyes -- just like the woman who broke my heart.
If it wasn’t for that blizzard, if her car hadn’t broken down outside my house, if she hadn’t looked amazing by the firelight, I never would have kissed her. No matter how hard I try, every excuse I make not to see her comes up flat.
I can’t stop thinking of her lips. Or the way her curves fit perfectly in my hands. There’s a million reasons why this won’t work. I’m her professor. It’s against university policy.
And if this gets out, I could lose everything.
“Oh, my God,” she gasps softly, pulling the parka all the way out and holding it up so that it hangs its entire length.
Katherine’s face tightens with growing alarm.
“Hey!” I say, my voice full of soft concern. “What’s wrong? Don’t you like it? I can return it.”
“What?” she asks, looking confused for a moment. “Oh, no, I love it. It’s just that I – it’s so nice, is all. And I know this store,” she gestures toward the logo on the lid of the glossy black box that the coat came in, “It’s expensive. I can’t really afford to pay you back or anything,” she mumbles, looking down at the floor as she speaks.
“It’s a gift,” I remind her. “A gift. That’s it. No strings attached. Honestly, it’s just that I hate that goddam hoodie you keep wearing!” I chuckle, standing up and taking the coat from her. I hold it up and open for her.
“Here, try it on.”
Reluctantly, she turns around and slips her arms into each sleeve as I hold them up for her. Her eyes are drawn downward as I squat and fasten the zipper at the bottom, following all the way upward as I pull the zipper closed, until our eyes lock. I reach around behind her and pull the faux-fur trimmed hood up, then I stand back so I can survey her with a critical eye.
“Well?” she asks with the most naively sexy smile I’ve ever seen.
“Well, I think you should only ever wear this color,” I say, my voice suddenly husky.
When my lips find hers, they are soft and tentative. When she doesn’t push me away, they become more confident. I’m taller than her by a good six inches and she tips her face up, causing the blue hood to slip back off her head. And then my hands are in her hair and holding the sides of her face, pulling her into me. She doesn’t resist.
My lips are still connected to hers when I reach between us to unzip the coat, pushing it off her shoulders so that it hits the floor with a soft puff.
I’m walking her back towards her bed, but she doesn’t seem to notice as her hands tug at my shirt, trying to free it from the waistband of my pants. When she succeeds, I hold my arms up and help her to pull the garments over my head. They join the coat on the floor. My pants follow close behind.
“Wait,” she says, pulling back for a second.
“What? What’s wrong?” I ask between ragged breaths.
She gives me a mischievous smile before clapping her hands twice. As soon as she does, the lights go out, leaving us with only the glow of the moon to see one another by. I chuckle and shake my head, pulling her in close again.
“Oh, Christ, I want you, Katherine,” I murmur against her neck as I kiss the hollow that attaches to her shoulder.
“Then what are you waiting for?” she rasps.
Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I have no intention of waiting a single second longer to be with this woman.
Lauren Rico was going to be principal French horn of the New York Philharmonic. That was HER plan, anyway. The New York Philharmonic had no idea of her intentions, and that's probably a good thing, since she wasn't an especially good French horn player!
Lauren was, however, an exceptionally good classical music radio host. Calling herself a "Classical Music Reanimator," she has made a career of demystify classical music for her audiences by taking it off a dusty old pedestal and putting it into a modern context.
It's only been over the last couple of years that Lauren has discovered a passion for writing, which she's managed to combine with her love and knowledge of the classical music world. That's when she had the realization that she had something special with this story of love and obsession and music.
You can hear Lauren Rico on SiriusXM's Symphony Hall Channel; on WSHU-FM in the New York metro; WSMR in Tampa/Sarasota, FL; WDAV in Charlotte, NC and KMFA in Austin, TX

Title: Misfit
Author: Alyne Roberts
Genre: New Adult/Romantic Suspense
Release Date: May 8, 2017
Misfit. Outcast. September Evans was used to being an outsider after being bounced around foster homes. No one seemed to resent her more than her new foster brother, Keaton Grayson. He hated the new girl intruding on his life.
Until he didn't. Fights became foreplay and anger became lust. The line between their love/hate relationship started to blur until it disappeared completely and ended in heartbreak.
Getting close to Keaton was September's biggest mistake. One that comes back to haunt her four years later, when the stakes are higher than ever. The two are going to have to work together on something dangerous and wrong but done for the right reasons. The chemistry and attraction are still there, buried under resentment and blame.
Keaton still wants September gone, or maybe he just wants her. September can't forget her past with Keaton, but she can't let him ruin her future either.
Erasing that line between love and hate again could destroy them both.
âThis book! Is Alyne's best book hands down!â âI can't get enough of her story!!! I want more!â
ÃAlyne Roberts
When September quietly slips away and up the stairs, I follow. Alexandra is setting the table while my mom finishes up dinner, so no one notices when we both disappear. I find her in her old bedroom. It looks the same as the day she left. My family never fostered another after her.
âNever took you as the sentimental type.â She tenses at my voice.
âNever took you for the bitter type.â
âYou think Iâm bitter?â I laugh. âNo. I would have to care to be bitter.â
September turns to face me, her hands balled into fists. A smirk spreads on my face as she stomps toward me, fire in her eyes.
âYou donât care?â she hisses. âYou hold an awful lot of resentment for someone that never cared.â
Snap. My control breaks. My hands grip her waist as I push her back against her old closet door. Her body makes a soft thud as she hits.
âYou wanna know what I cared about? I cared about getting into your pants. All I cared about was fucking you before you finally left. You think you broke my heart?â
She doesnât answer but her face grows a deeper shade of red. Anger or embarrassment, Iâm not sure.
âNo. I donât hate you because you left and broke my heart. I got what I wanted from you.â My eyes make a slow trail down her body. âI hate you because you came back.â
Her body trembles against mine as we stare each other down. Each one of us hard and furious. Heat curls around us.
âGet off me, Keaton.â
I press harder against her. Sheâs pinned against the wall, and I can feel her heartbeat on my chest where we touch.
âWhy? Bring back memories?â I hiss. âIsnât this where you begged me to touch you? I think it was just like this, with my hands down your pants, when you begged me not to stop until you came all over my fingers.â
Unlike that night four years ago, September is angry and has learned how to punch since then. Her fist collides with my jaw, and I stumble back. Before I can reach up to rub my sore face, she pushes me again until I hit the opposite wall.
âTouch me again and youâll wish you never met me,â she growls at me.
âI already wish that.â
Sheâs seething. Furious and beautiful with her rage.
âDonât worry. Iâm doing this job and disappearing. You wonât see me ever again after we finish this.â
I donât blame her when she walks away and ignores me for the rest of the night. If anyone notices the bruise on my face, they donât comment. I deserved her fist and probably more. I was a dick to her, like I usually was. This time I said things I didnât mean just to hurt her. Iâm not sure if I can take them back. Iâm not even sure I should.
