No More Mr. Nice Guy (A Family Business Novel) by Carl Weber and Stephanie Covington
 
Ripped from the pages of his New York Times bestselling Family Business series, Carl Weber brings you No More Mr. Nice Guy, the origin of Niles Monroe, the super-bad hitman who will one day become Paris Duncan’s one true love.

Niles has just returned from eight years of serving his country as a Special Forces sniper. He’s looking forward to a consulting job with Dynamic Defense and spending time with his family, including his bi-polar mother, Lorna, and his hard-drinking uncle, Willie. What Niles doesn’t know is that Dynamic Defense is actually a CIA front. He’s not interested in joining them, but they won’t take no for an answer.

Bridget St. John is one of the most beautiful women Niles has ever met, and she is also the most deadly. It is her job to recruit Niles to the Dynamic Defense team by any means necessary. When Niles is arrested for a murder he does not commit, Bridget makes him an offer he can’t refuse: working for Dynamic Defense in exchange for his freedom.

With Niles on board, Bridget begins to train him in ways he never imagined. Sometimes, however, the student becomes the teacher. Before she realizes what’s happening, Bridget falls in love. When circumstances in his personal life collide with his work, Niles is forced to use his military skills to protect those closest to him.

Fans are sure to appreciate this action-packed thriller that delivers love, drama, and suspense with Weber’s trademark flair for unexpected twists and turns.

I finished with The Family Business so now I am on to the second book, Family Business 2..and it's getting good!  So, this is what I will be reading this week.  What's on your TBR?


The Family Business 2 by Carl Weber

Welcome to the world of Duncans. By day they are upstanding citizens running one of New York’s most respected car dealerships;but by night, they’re criminals who control most of the East Coast drug traffic. No matter whether they’re on their day or night jobs, one thing is true about the Duncans: there is never a dull moment to be found.
Baby momma drama takes over the Duncan clan, as there is still uncertainty about who has fathered the Duncan sisters’ new babies. Meanwhile, Orlando Duncan, the family’s new CEO and a man with his own baby momma problems, has just developed a new product that may make the millionaire Duncans into billionaires. Orlando only has one obstacle in front of him, and it’s not law enforcement or one of his family’s many rivals. It’s his mother, and she may be his most formidable opponent to date, because she’s making the family take sides.
Can a civil war within the Duncan family be averted before it tears them apart?

Booksigning: Carl Weber

I finally got a chance to go to a book signing!  Yay!  I don't know why, but very few authors that I am interested in, come to Memphis so I was pretty excited.  I heard about it a few days before and of course I could not secure a babysitter, so I took the kiddies along.  Normally, taking the boys would have been a disaster, and I would have had to leave early, but all I had to do was turn my oldest on to the goodness of Starbucks and I had no problem.  Of course he spent all the money I gave him (the Double Chocolate Chip Frappucchino is his new best friend) but it kept him and his little brother quiet while I attended the signing.

The featured author was Carl Weber.  Mr. Weber is a New York Times Best Selling author.  His recent books include The Family Business 2,  Torn Between Two Lovers, The Man In 3B-none of which I have read but are on my TBR.  I HAD a few of his book on my book shelf,  but my sister has confiscated those so I am still waiting to get them back.

Anyhoo, Mr Weber was so down to earth.  He was very entertaining and very approachable.  The gathering was intimate-mostly ladies with a few men sprinkled in.  He answered questions, talked about the books, future books, and let us know a few of the books will be making television debts.  I had a great time, got my books signed, and got a pix.  Here are the photos of my day.  I have video, but I just can't figure out how to get it from my phone to the blog.  Hopefully, I will figure it out and get it uploaded...
