*COVER REVEAL* "Taming Casanova" by M J Carnal

As the Casanova of the Moretti Men, Kevin Merck spent his life capturing the eye of multiple women.  His conquests were legendary.  But life isn’t always what it seems.  After saving his best friend, Ryan West, with a bone marrow transplant, he became a permanent fixture in the Moretti family.  While everyone was getting their lives back, something went terribly wrong.  Turning to Dr. Jena Turner for help, he underwent his own personal health crisis in private.  Keeping his secret was a risk he was willing to take to protect those he loved most.

Kevin spent his days in the gym as a personal trainer and travelled the country as the face of a fitness franchise.  Hot and steamy, he had his choice of women in every city.   He had never met a woman he couldn’t charm the pants off, until he met the clever and smart mouthed Andi Allen.  Her fiery personality and witty comebacks drew him in and wouldn’t let go. 

After finishing medical school, Andi moved back to LA to be near her brother, Caleb Allen.  She had a front row seat for Kevin’s conquests. Affectionately naming him “Deuce”, Andi wouldn’t let him forget his predisposition for multiple partners.  Always at each other’s throats, Kevin and Andi set off explosive fireworks each time they crossed paths.  If fighting was truly foreplay, these two were in for an amazing ride.  

But when things seem too good to be true, they often are.  People can be gone in the blink of an eye.  In a minute, love can be lost and hearts can be broken.   The Moretti family is rocked to the core.  As they struggle to heal, can they find strength in their bond?  Can they turn to each other or will heartbreak tear them apart?  Is love enough to save one of their own?

Taming Casanova is the fourth book in The Moretti Novels by MJ Carnal.

Official release date is 2/24/14 and will be available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iBookstore and Kobo.  

*REVIEW* "Taming The Bachelor" by M J Carnal

Ex marine and bad boy, Mark Moretti, made a pact with his childhood friends to live life to the fullest and never allow a woman to tie him down. After years of success and the world at his feet, he is determined to make that pact a reality. A move back to his beloved Los Angeles threatens to change the future he had written for himself when the shy and beautiful, Sophie Barringer, ends up being the Maid of Honor at his sister's wedding. 

Sophie has been burned at love. The last thing she needs is a self proclaimed bachelor to turn her head. But her heart may have other plans. 

Forced to spend a week together in paradise, can they deny their steamy chemistry and stay away from each other or will they give in to lust and take the chance? Can Mark get over his player reputation to take a shot at love or will fate be cruel enough to deny them their happily ever after?

Let me start off by saying this book had me hooked on these characters. I read "Taming The Bachelor", "Taming the Playboy", and "Taming The Boy Next Door", back to back to back. I'm totally 100% invested in these characters now, and I promise, you will be too. READ. THIS. SERIES.

"Taming the Bachelor" is Mark Moretti's story. Mark is a known player, and loves his title. That is until he lays eyes on Sophie, and his whole life perspective comes crashing down. This girl brings this bad boy to his knees, and he can't do a thing about it. Sophie has her own past demons, and she is just as hesitant as he is about starting something up. So the two of them have to figure out where this is all going together. 

"I'm kind of an asshole. I don't think there is someone out there for everyone. Molly [Mark's sister] says it's just because I won't slow down long enough to open up to anyone. I am sticking with I'm an asshole."

However, there is always a twist, a turn, a problem. And these two face one hell of a problem, and prove that communication is key. Now, it's a matter of if they are willing to work through it or just call it a fling and move on.

" He grabbed her hand and put it on his chest.
'Do you feel this? You do this to me. No one else ever has.' "

There are a LOT of characters to meet in this book. It definitely sets the stage for this series. It was quite a bit to follow at first, but about half way through I started connecting the who-is-who in this group, who is related, and who is married. Once I hit that point, I was a goner. I loved some characters, hated others (then fell in love with them in a later book..), and all around enjoy their dynamic with one another.

Each book in this series can seemingly be read as a stand alone, but I HIGHLY suggest reading them in order. If you don't read Taming The Bachelor first, then you will be lost in some parts of Taming the Playboy (ps.. that one is hands down my favorite of the series).
