Release Blitz and Review: If I Only Knew: Corinne Michaels
If I Only Knew
Release Date January 28, 2019
From New York Times bestseller, Corinne Michaels, comes a new heartwarming and sexy standalone romance novel.
My life was perfect - until a shocking tragedy pulled the rug out from underneath me.
My children were left without a father. I was without a husband and a provider. Instead of wallowing in my grief, I buried myself in my work at Dovetail Enterprises. Landing the promotion as the CEO’s right hand was exactly what I needed.
Getting saddled with Milo Huxley as an assistant is exactly the opposite.
I can’t stand him.
He’s arrogant, irresponsible, and out for my job. As if that’s not bad enough, he has to be devastatingly sexy, and have a posh English accent that makes me squirm on top of it all. I’ve had enough unpredictability for one lifetime, thank you.
But soon enough, we’re fighting less and laughing more. He’s there for me when no one else is. And those good looks aren’t the only panty-dropping thing about him.
If I only knew what to do about it . . .
We saw Danielle's life change drastically in the last book, and now she is a single mom who has reentered the workforce through employment by her best friend's husband. She is still sad, angry, dealing with issues with her kids, and surviving versus really living. But she is sharp, intelligent, and thrives on the work she is doing and is good at it.
Milo Huxley is pissed that his brother cut him out of his job in London, moved to America for a woman, and has now apparently given his position in America away too...the CEO one that Danielle just moved into. He is selfish, arrogant, cocky, and determined to take it away from Danielle and have his rightful place. But his reputation of being irresponsible, undependable, selfish, and argumentative is not going to win him any favors from his brother or Danielle. But it looks like to prove himself he is going to have to suck it up and work for her...at least for awhile. He has always seemed to be second best when compared to his brother, so that anger and resentment fuels him.
These two push and challenge each other. But they also start to see more that they each are broken in some ways and could use support. Danielle is going through some difficult situations, and for some reason Milo starts to be more help than hindrance. And once things start shifting, they are powerless to stop the pull despite the life complications making it a bad idea.
I honestly liked Milo. His cocky facade hides the heart of a hurt little boy who only ever wanted to be loved, accepted, and valued. And Danielle is strong despite the trials she is undergoing. She is the first women he ever cares about and actually wants to prove he is worthy of. And he tries to bring Danielle back to life in ways she never expected with his challenge, support, smiles, and passion. But she is usually someone who follows rules and needs stability, safety, and cares about appearances. And Milo and their situation is anything but safe.
They turn each other's worlds around unexpectedly, but there are plenty of obstacles in their way. Will they be able to fight for what they never knew was possible or are they doomed to have loved and lost?
This is a story of loss, hope, and obligations. At the core of it is sisterhood, family, and a second chance at love. It brings back her three friends who have been the focus of this series, Kristin, Heather, and Nicole, and their significant others Eli, Noah, and Callum. I love this group and how they take care of each other. They truly made their own family. And the dynamics between the estranged brothers, Milo and Callum, is also a significant part of this one.
My heart really hurt for all of them in some parts. There were definite interpersonal struggles and healing that needed to occur. Milo became an unlikely swoonworthy and adorable hero. I loved his sense of humor and how accepting he was of certain things. My only criticism is that it felt like the transition from adversaries, to friends, to lovers, to love moved very fast. But I was still totally invested in them trying to find a way to make it work despite their challenges.

I received this book for free from the author in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Although this is a stand alone, the characters crossover with these books as they are a group of longtime friends...
We Own Tonight
From New York Times Bestseller, Corinne Michaels, comes a sexy new STANDALONE romance novel.
I’m not a one-night stand kind of woman. I’m especially not the woman who has a few drinks at a concert and ends up in bed with my childhood celebrity crush, Eli Walsh.
However, that’s exactly where I find myself.
What’s a girl to do after a drunken mistake? Run. I grab my clothes and get away from the powerful, irresistible, and best-sex-of-my-life superstar as fast as I can. His gorgeous green eyes, rock-hard body, and cocky smile have no place in my world. My life is complicated enough.
Someone forgot to tell him that.
Eli is relentless. Pushing his way into my heart, wearing me down, proving he’s nothing like I assumed, and everything I need. But when my world shatters to pieces, he holds the broken bits together. Unwillingly, I fall desperately in love with him.
He made me think we’d have forever . . . I should’ve listened when he said we could only own tonight.

Kim's 4.5 star review
From New York Times bestselling author, Corinne Michaels, comes a new heartwarming standalone romance.
I’m getting really good at cutting my losses.
First, the husband. Divorcing him was the best decision I ever made. But between single-parenting and job-hunting, I can’t catch my breath. When a celebrity blogging position falls into my lap, I’m determined to succeed.
That is, until I get my first assignment and actually see Noah Frazier for the first time . . . practically naked and dripping wet. My heart races and I forget how to form complete sentences. His chiseled abs, irresistible smirk, and crystal blue eyes are too perfect to be real. So, what do I do? Get drunk and humiliate myself, of course.
I’m ready to forget the awkward night, yet Noah has no intention of allowing me to move on. Instead, he arranges for me to write a feature on him, ensuring a lot more time together. One embarrassing moment after another, one kiss after another, and before I can stop myself, I realize—I’m falling in love with him.
But when the unthinkable happens, can I even blame him for cutting his losses?
What I wouldn’t give for just one last time . . .
Not Until You
Not Until You
I have two rules in life: 1. No relationships, falling in love or attachments. 2. No sleeping with clients of my interior design firm.
Since the last guy turned out to be married, they’ve been easy to follow.
Until him.
Callum Huxley is a ridiculously sexy Brit, and the connection we have the moment our eyes lock scares the ever-loving hell out of me. Thank God I came to my senses before going back to his hotel where I would’ve ended up naked, panting, and unable to forget him.
Thinking I walked away from that night unscathed was stupid. Sure enough, at the biggest meeting of my career waits the CEO of Dovetail Enterprises—him. It might be the most embarrassing moment of my professional life. And breaking my no-client rule might just be the hottest moment of my personal life.
Learning to trust has never felt so good, but falling has never hurt so bad.
