Legal secretary Olivia Warner enjoys being single and, aside from her closest gal pals, usually keeps to herself. But the night of her thirty-fourth birthday, she and her friends spend a fun-filled evening at a local bar where her friends dare her to approach a man and spend the night with him. Olivia's not one to turn down a dare, especially from her old college pals. She only hopes the man in question is in for some good conversation, because that is all she'll give him.

Darren “Dare” Shalvis has given up on women. He's tired of being chased for his money, good looks, and prowess in bed. He prefers to meet a woman who, for once, wants nothing more from him than mere conversation. If only the woman asking him to spend the night with her wasn’t his favorite legal secretary.

Accepting a dare has never been so tempting…

"Amber Skyze and I were delighted with Coffe Beans and Love Scenes promotional services. Liz is easy to work with and she made the daunting task of promoting a book simple. The artwork she prepared for our book tour was stunning. The hostesses on our virtual book tour were friendly and fun to work with. With this virtual book tour we were able to reach readers and reviewers outside our circle. I'm so glad we did this. I would recommend Coffee Bean and Love Scenes services to any busy author who needs a little help with book promo. I'll definitely use CBLS in the future."--Erotic Romance Authors, Katalina Leon and Amber Skyze

"I am new to the publishing arena, and as a first time author, the process can be daunting. One of the most overwhelming aspects of being published is advertisement and marketing your work to the public. Thankfully, my publishing house, Decadent Publishing, put me in touch with Liz at CBLS Promotions. Liz contacted me immediately and set my mind at ease. She arranged the virtual book tour after I answered only a few easy questions. All of my questions were answered promptly and clearly. The blog tour went off without a hitch thanks to Liz’s attention to detail and immediate availability to answer questions. My book was spotlighted and my readership increased thanks to my participation in the CBLS program. Thank you Liz and Decadent Publishing!"--Paranormal Romance Author, J.T. Cheyanne

"CBLS offers fantastic value for money, combined with a personal, friendly service. Everything ran flawlessly and I received a great response from bloggers and readers alike. It is so easy to get swamped by the marketing side of writing and CBLS takes away a lot of that stress, allowing you to get on with the important part of being an author - writing! I will be back!"--Best-Selling Author of The Crimson Castle, Samantha Holt

"Thank you so much for arranging my barrage. It was a success, as always, and I look forward to having you arrange my next tour early next year."--Contemporary and Paranormal Romance Author, Natalie-Nicole Bates

I will be back for another tour in the near future."--Romance Author, Kristen Beairsto

"For a new author in these days of social networking, organizing publicity and getting your name out there is an overwhelming task. CBLS Promotions makes the job seamless and trouble free. Exposure over two days was phenomenal and I noticed an immediate spike in sales. Thanks for a great service...I came straight back for a second tour!"--Romance Author, Annie Seaton

"CBLS Promotions did a fantastic job with my blog tour for 'Redneck Heaven'. Even though I missed some of her deadlines, Liz worked with what I sent her and was able to pull off fabulous blurbs and much appreciated stops. Just thinking of everything that she did to make the tour a success gives me the willies. Being an independent author, I've had to learn so much in a short amount of time. This is one area that I am pleased to know I can leave in her capable hands. I will use CBLS exclusively for all of my E-book tours in the future. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for a job well done."--Marchelle Wallace, Author of Redneck Heaven

"This was my first experience with blog tours, but Liz and the folks at CBLS made the experience painless. They did a fantastic job!! I thought I'd only have a few stops for the price I paid, but I had ten stops over a two period. The prices are right for authors with limited budget and the work is first rate!"--Contemporary Romance Author, Candy Ann Little

"CBLS Virtual eBook Tours is exactly what the name stands for: Coffee Beans because you need all the caffeine in the world in order to visit all the incredible blogs contributing to the tour. Love Scenes because love welcomes you at every corner, on every blog, with every new friend you make. Aside from being a skillful planner, Liz Velez is a superwoman. I personally don't know how she does it, but let me tell you, she does it darn well! Fantastic feedback. Awesome contributions. The reviews exceeded my expectations. I sincerely recommend CBLS to anyone in need for help promoting their books. You won't regret it!"--Multicultural Romance Author, Camelia Miron Skiba

"If you're planning a virtual book tour, look no further than CBLS Promotions. As a new author, the tour organized by CBLS Promotions introduced my novel, as well as myself, to a new audience. A great way to interact with readers. I will definitely use CBLS Promotions in the future."--Writer and Painter, M. Marcus A. Lopés

"Coffee Beans and Love Scenes was terrific to work with. They handled all promotional dates, interviews, and giveaways with the utmost professionalism. Best of all, sales of With This Kiss spiked during my tour, and stayed strong for weeks following it. An A+ experience all around. I will definitely be back."--Historical Romance Author, Victoria Lynne

"CBLS was a pleasure to work with. I didn't give them much notice, but they were able to put together an impressive 14-stop Blog Barrage that gave me several great reviews, some new readers, and lots of hits on my website. I will definitely use them again."--Amazon Best-Selling Author, Rebecca J. Clark

"Liz - I thank you. I did sell a lot of books during the tour and got some great feedback. I even met some ladies who I think will become good friends - including you. This type of exposure is something that will produce benefits beyond the timeframe that we allotted. I highly recommend CBLS Promotions to anyone who wants maximum exposure for their new release."--Secret Cravings Publishing Premier Romance Author, Sable Hunter

"...I thought your promotional service overall was commendable."--Best-Selling Paranormal Romance Author, Gabrielle Bissett
