Release Tour for The 21-Day Boyfriend by A.S. Kelly

Title: The 21-Day Boyfriend

Author: A.S. Kelly

Genre: MM Romance / Romantic Comedy with Christmas vibes

Release Date: October 25, 2023

Eric O’Shea needs to make a decision. The annual event his family forces him to attend is just around the corner, and he doesn’t have a date.

Eric never needs help when it comes to finding men. But this time is different – his ex and his new boyfriend will be there, and Eric can’t just bring along one of his usual flings.

His only hope seems to be him: the best friend of his best friend, who he never wanted to meet.

Sean Quinn is a calm, collected, and cultured man; someone who would rather stay at home and read a book than waste his time chasing a date with no future.

Sean isn’t in a rush to find the perfect man, and he certainly doesn’t intend to go out with Eric: his best friend’s other best friend, who he’s avoided meeting for years.

But Sean has a flaw: he can’t say no to anyone, especially not when it comes to his friend Jake, who has a habit of worming his way into other people’s lives.

But it’s just one date, after all: pure fiction. It’s a shame, then, that when Eric needs Sean for another favour, he can’t turn his back. It’s a shame that just when Sean is beginning to understand that Eric isn’t what he seems, he can’t seem to stop before he gets hurt.

Twenty-one days: that’s the agreement.

Twenty-one days of grazing hands, furtive glances, and unexpected kisses.

Twenty-one days where anything goes; except falling in love.

Silas

Leo and I have been so many things.

We’ve been rivals, classmates, teammates.

Friends.

Friends you watch from afar each day, and dream of each night.

Then we were… Well, we were just us.

We didn’t ask ourselves too many questions – not even when I pretended not to be hurt by the distance he placed between us.

We made each other no promises.

I waited, hoped, believed, right up until the day I realised that everything we had was merely an illusion.

My illusion.

My name is Silas Kylemore, and I’ve learned an important lesson: never fall in love with your best friend.

Not if he’ll never be able to love you back.

Leo

Silas and I have been through so many phases.

We’ve been close, far, just a hair’s breadth apart.

Each bound to the other.

I’m talking about that kind of bond you’re never quite able to recreate.

We were young, and we were… We were just us.

We didn’t ask ourselves too many questions – not even when I pretended his absence didn’t kill me inside.

We made each other no promises.

I could never have imagined back then that what we had would push me away from him for all those years.

Years that no one could ever give back to me.

Years he’ll never forgive me for.

My name is Leo Fitzpatrick, and I’ve learned an important lesson: never try to forget the person you loved.

Not if he’s never been able to forget you.

SNEAK PEEK:

Leo slides his hand into the space between our bodies, his pinky finger brushing imperceptibly against mine. I look down at the same moment as him, as if we could feel the same electricity coursing through our fingers, our hearts. We lift our heads. I think this is the first time we’ve really looked at each other so deeply and longingly. It’s ours. This is the first time, no one has any power over the other; we can’t deny each other anything. His pinky finger continues brushing against mine, the way it has hundreds of times, before slowly slipping away, back to where it was.

I don’t feel disappointed. I don’t feel abandoned.

Something is telling me that this isn’t like all the other times. My heart is telling me that something has changed.

He’s changed.

“Why?”

“Mmm?”

“Why couldn’t you help it?”

“I was scared I’d forgotten, and I desperately wanted to remember.”

“What?”

“What it means to kiss you.”

I blush against my will, but luckily, he’s not looking at me. I don’t want to seem like a little boy with an embarrassing crush. I want to tell him that he can do that every time he forgets us – but I keep it to myself.

“Was it how you remembered?”

He smiles, his eyes turned skywards.

“It was more. It was all just… More.”

Blitz & Giveaway for The Last One by A.S. Kelly

The Last One

A.S. Kelly

Publication date: July 25th 2022

Genres: Adult, Comedy, Contemporary, Romance

Allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Anya O’Donnell, and I’d like to declare myself guilty beyond all reasonable doubt.

Guilty of what, you ask?

Well, for starters, I’m guilty of lying to everyone for years; of pretending when I should have been showing them all who I really was, what I really wanted. I’m guilty of pushing away the only person who wanted to stay, convinced that, one day, he’d have left, anyway.

I told him we were a mistake.

I told him I was better off without him.

I told him that I didn’t love him.

And now I miss him. I miss his cups of tea and his stupid cheese crackers. I miss his clothes, strewn about the house. I miss the way he would watch me sleep. I miss his arms, holding me tightly each night, making me feel at home.

But now we’re both alone. And I’m scared.

I’m scared that he believed everything I told him; that he has no intention of coming back.

Allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Owen McKenna, and I’m furious.

Why, you ask?

Well, because I decided to follow my heart and not my head. Because I didn’t listen to my friends or to their far-fetched theories. Because I left anyway – even when everyone was telling me to stay.

And now she doesn’t want me back. But I want her, desperately.

She’s the woman I’ve been waiting for. She’s incredibly sexy, and can make you laugh, even when you least want to. She’s never let anyone in, apart from me; and when she crumbles into my arms, it makes me feel like the only guy in the world.

But I ruined everything.

I let the L-word slip, and she panicked.

She told me things she didn’t even think – I know that. I know her.

I know that she’s scared, that she doesn’t want to take this risk. But I do. I’m ready.

I’m her exception.

I just need to make her see that, too.

EXCERPT:

“Ms. O’Donnell.”

“What?”

“My surname. O’Donnell.”

“Mine is…”

“I didn’t ask. I’m telling you mine. You can call me Ms. O’Donnell.”

“Are you serious?”

“Good morning, Ms. O’Donnell. Or good evening, depending on the circumstance.”

“Can I wish you goodnight, too?”

“You’re not helping yourself.”

I laugh. I like winding her up – mainly because she doesn’t flinch.

“Are you telling me I can’t even say your name?”

“Only friends use my name.”

“And I’m not a friend?”

“No.”

“And I’ll never become a friend?”

“Absolutely not.”

“Why not?”

“Because you’ve seen me naked. And usually, friends don’t see each other naked.”

“Is that one of your rules?”

“It’s just become one.”

“A special rule for me?”

“Don’t flatter yourself. You’re not even my type.”

“What is your type?”

“That’s something I don’t share with strangers or acquaintances. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have work waiting for me.”

She slowly walks to the entrance, under my watchful gaze. I can’t help but fixate on the slinky, sensual movement of her hips.

“Ms. O’Donnell?” I call. She stops and looks around at me again.

“I hope you have a great day.”

“I thought it would be. Now I’m not so sure.”

The Only Man

A.S. Kelly

(From Connemara With Love, #4)

Publication date: March 21st, 2022

Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

I was a different man, once.

I was a man with only one woman on my mind – the only woman I wanted to hold in my arms.

I was her man.

But things change. Life changes you. Choices, mistakes, resentment: they all change you.

So do unkept promises.

We hurt each other. We loved each other, then hated each other, then missed each other, then grew apart.

And then…

One day, we found each other again.

At the wrong time, in the wrong place.

Because the two of us are wrong together – we’re too far apart, too incompatible.

We’re the main characters of a story that doesn’t belong to us.

But I still keep loving her, even though she hates me.

And she keeps hating herself, because she can’t help but love me.

And we keep searching for each other, even though we’re destined to lose each other.

I wish I could be a different man, just once.

I wish I could be the kind of man who’s ready to give everything for the woman he loves.

Someone who was ready to let her go.

Because I want her to be happy more than I want her to be mine.

EXCERPT:

“I hope, Darcy,” I tell her, honestly, “that you do forget about me, one day. I don’t want you to, but I hope you do.”

“That’ll never happen.” Her fingers slide into my hair and her red lips move close to mine. “I couldn’t forget you when I hated you,” she says, her voice trembling. I can hear it, even beneath the music. “So there’s no way I’d be able to forget you now.”

“Why not?” I ask, pain hammering in my chest, climbing up my throat and seeping into my temples.

“I think you know why.”

I don’t want to hear her say it, but I need to hear it. I need to remind myself what happens when you stop believing in the only thing you should believe in.

“Say it.”

“It’s too painful.”

“For me? Or for you?”

She smiles sadly. “Both.”

“Then don’t say it.” I rest my thumb on her lips, and Darcy parts them, sending a shiver through every vein in my body. “This is enough. You’re enough. Tonight is enough.” I’m lying, but I try, anyway. “Just tonight.”

“And then?” Her lips move against my thumb.

And then I’ll keep loving you from here, from afar, at the safe distance we have to put between ourselves so that at least one of us can have a chance. And it has to be you.

I didn’t do all this so that, one day, you’ll come back to me.

I didn’t give up on us to watch you give up on yourself.

“There is no ‘then’. And there’s no ‘tomorrow’.”

I drop my hand, and she looks at me, pity in her eyes.

“There’s no future for us.”

She rests her forehead against mine and lets herself go; my arms are holding her tightly, rocking her gently. We’re not dancing. We’re not following the music, or paying any attention to the world around us.

All we have is tonight, a handful of hours to breathe in. Nothing else has ever mattered compared to this moment.

Blog Tour & Giveaway Last Call by A.S. Kelly

Title: Last Call

Author: A.S. Kelly

Genre: Romantic Comedy/Contemporary

Release Date: December 2, 2019

Amazon Customer - “Heartwarming & steamy read!”

Narissa @pretty_book_whore - “Be ready to have your emotions all over the place!”

OMGReads - “Another emotional read that has turned me into a bigger fan than I already am.”

Allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Niall Kerry. I’m almost forty years old, and I’m drowning in something that begins with ‘S’ – it doesn’t quite seem appropriate to write it down here.

After a lifetime out on a sports field, living as a champion – as someone who never had to ask for anything – I’ve suddenly found myself starting from scratch. I’m living in the middle of nowhere with my parents, I’m jobless, and I have a teenage daughter who hates me. Oh, and I have to try and regain the trust of everyone I know.

It’s not easy to convince people that, deep down, you’re not so bad; that you’re no longer that troublesome kid they once knew.

It’s not easy to work my way into the heart of my favourite headmistress, Jordan. It’s especially difficult when she wants nothing to do with me.

But you know what? I’m not the kind of guy who just sits back and accepts defeat, or who stops at the small print at the bottom of the page. I’m someone who plays right until the final whistle.

And when her heart is on the line, I’m ready to make my strict, sexy headmistress an offer she can’t refuse.
