Last year, Vivian Arend and Elle Kennedy teamed up to bring us the DreamMakers series.
What are three ex-military best friends supposed to do when they’re back on US soil permanently? Parker Wilson, Jack Hunter and Dean Colter considered establishing the typical security company, but a glut on the market forced a change of plans.
After listening to a friend bemoan not knowing what to do for his girlfriend’s birthday, they realized their set of job skills left them uniquely positioned to assist the confused male masses. Any idiot can plan a perfect date if he knows his woman well enough. And anyone with recon skills can fill in the missing gaps.
The idea of 3 Army Rangers running a dating service tickles me. It helps that all three are super hot, have a great friendship and know how to treat a lady.
With book 3, Don’t Walk Away, slated for release in April 2015, we thought we’d give away the first two books in the series to one lucky winner!
Book 1 of the DreamMakers. A red-hot collaboration from New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors VIVIAN AREND and ELLE KENNEDY.
He’s ready to lead the way
Parker Wilson never thought he’d go from battle-hardened soldier to romance expert, but after his stint in the Rangers, that’s exactly what happened. As the owner of DreamMakers Inc., he helps other men win in the love department, using every resource available to plan the perfect date. When a routine recon turns into an unexpected night of passion, Parker’s mission becomes more personal—and he won’t give up until Lynn Davidson is all his.
She’s more than willing to follow
Lynn is a goner from the moment she lays eyes on the delectable Parker. She’s just ditched her boring almost-boyfriend and is tired of sticking to the straight and narrow. It’s time to walk on the wild side, and what better way than in the arms of the most irresistible man she’s ever met? But when their red-hot affair is threatened, it’ll take a team effort to make their dreams come true.
Book 2 of the DreamMakers series. A red-hot collaboration from New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors VIVIAN AREND and ELLE KENNEDY.
He’s ready to admit she’s all grown up
After two tours of duty, former Army Ranger Jack Hunter is back in the US, working to keep DreamMakers a brilliant success. Now that his best friend’s little sister is home from college, it’s time to retire his hands-off policy and take action. He wants Pepper Wilson in his bed, but seducing the feisty redhead could be dangerous for more than one reason.
She’s ready to push all his buttons
Pepper is tired of being bossed around by everyone in her life, especially arrogant, annoying, overbearing Jack Hunter. While she can’t deny the man is out-of-this-world gorgeous, his alpha routine is getting old. His steely determination proves a match for her own, though, and the attraction simmering between them ignites into fiery passion.
But can their wild sexual exploration turn into more without someone getting burned?

A sensual flirtation with Jamie Powell, a visiting marine archeologist. Suddenly there’s more than merfolk secrets at stake. Use the widget below to enter!
About the authors
Vivian Arend in one word: Adventurous. In a sentence: Willing to try just about anything once. That wide-eyed attitude has taken her around North America, through parts of Europe, and into Central and South America, often with no running water.
Her optimistic outlook also meant that when challenged to write a book, she gave it a shot, and discovered creating worlds to play in was nearly as addictive as traveling the real one. Now a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of both contemporary and paranormal stories, Vivian continues to explore, write and otherwise keep herself well entertained.

I think it is a fun idea for soldiers to start a business to help other me with their relationships.
Well, having males give other males dating advice that’s actually, you know, good advice? I need to read that.
Plus, I really liked Vivian Arend’s writing, and I just started reading Elle Kennedy’s books late last year, I really would like to see what they write together.
(Did that make sense? Coffee doesn’t seem to have kicked in yet)
What a fun concept. Tough military guys helping out in the romance department.
I would love to read this series! It sounds fantastic 🙂 thanks for sharing!
awww, love the idea that the tough soldiers are a soft touch for romance.
And the merfolk story sounds interesting…I haven’t read many merfolk stories – lots of wolf stories (Granite Lake and Takhini)
I love the idea of military men becoming matchmakers.
Love a man in uniform! 😉
When we think of the stereotypical matchmaker, we think of a woman. So to make the matchmaker a man is really great. And the icing on the cake? Military men!
Mer folk stories would make a nice change…this story looks like it would be a fun read.
What a new concept for a story! Love it! When I started reading the blurb I thought security or PI work…how fun. Thanks for the chance…I would love to read these!!
Merfolk…sounds interesting! Thanks for the chance.
Love these authors individually and together are dinamite!
characters sound interesting
