SWEETER TEMPTATION - COMING SOON!

An Irresistible Enemy 

When a fierce blizzard wreaks havoc on the small town of Candy, Ohio, Nia King isn't sure she will ever make it home. She is frozen and breathless and almost there when she discovers a gorgeous, intense stranger stranded by the roadside. This guy-whom she knows as just Kyle-is the stuff romantic fantasies are made of. Sweet secretary Nia would never entertain the idea of a one-night stand. But after two days housebound with the dark-eyed Adonis, nature begins to take its course. 

Of all the farmhouses to get stuck at! Kyle Ellison cannot believe he has just had the lovemaking of a lifetime with the woman whose life he has come to ruin. He had no idea that Nia has been trying to save the small town's candy factory-the factory he has come to shut down. The hard-playing corporate executive cannot surrender to sentimentality. But the lingering taste of Nia's sweet kisses have made him hungry for more....

SWEETER TEMPTATION will be released in paperback on August 20 with the e-book to follow on September 1st.

It's now available for pre-order at Amazon, Barnes and Noble or your favorite bookseller.

Taste for Temptation - FOUR STAR REVIEW!

Box of Author Copies!

TASTE FOR TEMPTATION comes complete with a sexy hero,  fun heroine, a well-meaning but overbearing mother and tons of chocolate. What's not to love?

I promise a great read. However, I admit to being a tiny bit biased.

So I’m sharing the review from RT Book Reviews Magazine, who gave it FOUR STARS in its November issue.

Here’s what they had to say:

TASTE FOR TEMPTATION (4 ) by Phyllis Bourne: Adam Ellison resigned from his position as vice president in the family company when he was being coerced into marrying a girl as part of a business merger. He decides to dedicate his life to becoming a pastry chef like he grandfather. While perfecting his chocolate dishes in preparation for a baking competition, he meets his neighbor Brandi Collins. Brandi is working her butt off to lose the 20 pounds she gained after her ex-fiance left her at the altar and married someone else. Shunning both men and chocolate, she views Adam as a sinful yet delicious treat. The challenges faced by both the endearing main characters build and build throughout the novel, and the storyline is strong.

The Kindle, Nook and other e-reader version of Taste for Temptation will be released November 1^st.

Coming Soon!

Only one man can satisfy her craving... 

No one dumps Brandi Collins! After being left at the altar, the Nashville high school teacher plans to get back at her ex by undergoing a major transformation. But how is she supposed  to shed those extra pounds with that intoxicating aroma wafting into her condo? And the tempting smell of mouthwatering chocolate has nothing on the handsome hunk who's creating the irresistible confections. 

Adam Ellison has given up everything for his dream of winning the International Chocolate Pastry Competition. His voluptuous  new neighbor knocking on his door at three in the morning is  a distraction he doesn't need! Now only one thing will satisfy Adam's craving for Brandi. But what happens when she discovers her struggling pastry chef is really the heir to a multimillion-dollar corporate empire? Will Brandi still be there intoxicating him with  her kisses...or will Adam lose his chance for a lifetime of love?
