In a searing, dark love story steeped in grit, obsession, and secrets, two broken souls keep coming back together—no matter how much they tear each other apart.

Birdie Fast is thriving, with two degrees, a stable fiancé, and her dream job. Her mistakes are in the past, and she’s determined to keep them there.

Jarrod Storm, Birdie’s new CEO, is the man who destroyed her life and stole everything from her. Grown rich and powerful, he’s spent years waiting for her in the shadows.

Now, he wants her back.

Birdie loathes him, but she can’t deny how he makes her feel: safe. He’s the only one who’s ever truly seen her.

If there’s anything Birdie has learned, it’s to keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Because you’re never truly safe with a past like hers.

My Review...

Wow, just wow…

This story of Jarrod and Birdie is going to grab you by the throat from the get-go.

This is a story of a scarred past, a hope for the future, and a love that is broken and perfect for broken hearts.

Birdie has lived a nightmare; her whole world was nothing but bruises and scars. When she thinks there is hope for her heart with Jarrod, her whole world comes crumbling down.

Jarrod is a hero who is not without his flaws and scars too. He works to fix Bridie’s broken pieces in an unhealthy sort of way.

Jarrod and Bridie’s love is messy, flawed, and overwhelmingly beautiful. I couldn’t put this story down until the end, and I hope the secondary characters get their stories told, too. 

This story is going to suck you in and not let go until Ms. Hunting deems it so. 

Floved this story hard!

See My Review Below!!!

’Tis the season for mayhem, mistletoe, and one very unfortunate mall uniform.

Engaged. Overwhelmed. Running a small business with a purple-haired octogenarian who thinks “Rhonda El Bano” is a convincing alias. For reluctant psychic Riley Thorn, the holidays are less “magic in the air” and more “fire in the living room.”

Between the backlog of invoices, a PI license teetering on revocation, a disapproving grandmother lobbing ominous predictions about the upcoming wedding, and the fact that Riley cannot see a single thing about her own future with Nick Santiago, she just wants to survive
until December 26th.

Nick Santiago doesn’t do “mellow.” He does Christmas. Hard. He’s the man who owns a twelve-foot inflatable Santa and feels no shame about it. So if closing out the year means going undercover at the East Shore Mall to catch a slippery theft ring—even if it costs him one truly terrible security uniform and several shifts with the world’s most punchable assistant manager—fine.

The sooner he catches the bad guy, the sooner he can haul his fiancée under the mistletoe and convince her everything is going to be fine. Between mall chaos, psychic guild parties, warring families descending for Christmas Eve dinner, and one stray kitten who has personally destroyed two rooms and a dog’s dignity, they have five days to catch a thief, save a license—And figure out why the future looks so suspiciously blank.

My Review...

Welcome back, Riley Thorn!

As an avid fan of Lucy Score, I was so excited to get my hands on this newest installment of the funny, adventurous Riley Thorn and her band of mischief-makers!

This is a classic whodunit with a bit of spice, a ton of sugar, and a chaos that readers have come to love about this cast of characters!

You are gonna laugh, you are gonna swoon and you are going to fall in love hard with Riley, Nick and the whole crew all over again! I know I did!

 

See My Review Below!!!

My brother’s best friend was my first crush.

My first what-if.

My first mistake.

If I’d known falling into bed with the guy I’d spent years crushing on would be the spark to blow up my world, I would’ve run in the opposite direction. Instead, it made me the perfect target, and I was there to take the fall.

They said I started the fire.

That I killed a man.

The jury agreed.

My guilty verdict ignited a wildfire that burned straight through my future and left me with nothing but a prison sentence.

Ten years later, I’ve rebuilt my life. I’m happy and whole—at least that’s what I tell myself. It’s hard to live your life carefree with a Felony charge hanging over your head.

When a death drags me back home, I’m forced to face the town that nearly destroyed me—and the boy I once loved. He’s a firefighter now, rugged and country, with that same damn sexy smile that used to make my cheeks flush. I learned my lesson the first time, so I want nothing to do with him now. Except that hero mentality of his has decided I need his protection.

Someone knows what really happened that day. And the closer I get to finding the truth, the harder it is to stay away from the one man who has no idea who I had to become, or what it cost me.

Some lies don’t stay buried.

And this time…we both might burn.

My Review...

There are a lot of moving parts in this newest story from Ms. Saxon! So be sure to go into this fabulous story with both eyes wide open.

This is a story of lies, half-truths, and some stunners of plot twists that are going to keep you turning the pages of this until the very end.

One of the many things I love about Ms. Saxon’s stories is the intrigue. You get more than swoons and romance; you get thrills, mystery, and a real who-done-it that is going to come at you from left field.

Wrenlee is a heroine that I could really root for; she has faced injustice at such a young age, and to see her come through it was riveting.

Keaton is swoony to be sure, but to love him is gonna take a minute – at least it did for me but when he shines, he is bright. 

Get your hands on this story; it will not disappoint!

Two parents. One deal. A pair no one expected.

They call me “The Bang Queen.”
No, not for that reason.
It’s because I’m known around Nashville for being the go-to person when you’re convinced bangs will fix your problems.
Now I have a new nickname—girlfriend of Asher Reed, star hockey player for the Music City Rockers.
But I’m not.
Let me explain.
As a tired single mom, I don’t have time for many things. My days are pretty packed between my son, my job, and planning my sister’s wedding to my baby daddy.
Yes, you read that right.
The last thing I have time for is dating, which is why Asher Reed is the perfect fake boyfriend. He’s gorgeous, also doesn’t want a relationship, and he’s teammates with my ex.
If I’m going to fake date someone, I’m going to do it right.
The best part? This temporary arrangement was his idea. As a widowed single dad, he’s tired of people pushing for him to get back out there.
It’s the perfect plan. No way am I going to fall in love with the six-foot-five defenseman with perfect hair who’s the epitome of a girl dad.
Right?
That is until I see him in a tuxedo.
Until he holds me against him.
Until he kisses me.
It’s then I realize I never stood a chance.
Because this pairing might’ve been unlikely, but now I’m wondering if this relationship was always meant to be.

My Review...

Oh, how I am a sucker for a widower and a single parent romance! 

This newest installment of the Nashville Player series is gonna grab you in all the feels!

This story of Asher and Sutton is more than just a swoony romance; it’s about finding your true family and the meaning of that.

I love how Ms. Sloan brings back popular characters from her previous series to make cameos that don’t take away from the main story, but add more too it! It’s fun to see what they are up to.

You are gonna laugh, you are gonna get a bit weepy, and you are gonna fall in love with the characters and the story!

My Review...

What a holiday treat from Ms. Dunbar!

This newest series comes in with a holiday bang!

I loved this story of Noelle and Dane. A serendipitous story of healing and swoons. A mix of both heartbreak and new beginnings.

I loved the way that Ms. Dunbar brings past characters into the mix to really bring home the world that she creates.  

Like a peppermint martini or a shot of Fireball, this story goes down like a holiday treat. Smooth, spicy, and leaving you feeling warm and fuzzy on the inside.

 

 

See My Review Below!!!

Nothing says Merry Christmas like fake fiancés, family pressure, and accidentally falling for your ex’s brother.

Nolan never met a spotlight he didn’t like. As a major league baseball player with a filthy mouth, an ego the size of the North Pole, and zero interest in behaving, he’s perfectly happy breezing into Christmas in Kringletown like the charming disaster everyone expects him to be.

Taran, on the other hand, has made an art form out of keeping the peace. She’s polished, careful, and so committed to making everyone else happy that she’s somehow agreed to a fake wedding with her ex just to keep her family’s holiday from imploding.

There’s only one problem: the ex in question is Nolan’s brother, and Nolan sees right through her. He knows Taran deserves better than pretending her way through life.

And he’d really like “better” to be him.

Now Taran is juggling family expectations, holiday chaos, and a man who is far too cocky, far too funny, and far too determined to bulldoze every wall she’s ever built.

But with Christmas closing in, secrets snowballing, and one very fake engagement threatening to blow up in spectacular fashion, this holiday season is about to get messy. And someone’s sure to end up on the naughty list.

My Review...

I have never laughed out loud so much when reading a story as I did with this newest holiday release from Ms. Quinn!

This story of Nolan and Taran is going to get you right in the feels!

Taran is the classic oldest sibling, always looking out for her loved ones and taking her feelings as a secondary decision, never putting herself first until Nolan comes bursting back into her life.

Nolan, oh my me, what a hero! I loved his brash attitude, and his internal dialogue is absolutely hilarious! 

I loved the nod to one of my fave Christmas movies, “Christmas Vacation.” I floved the easter eggs that were dropped throughout. 

And let’s not forget the secondary characters making their appearances known! I loved seeing past characters adding even more to this story.

Like an eggnog latte, this story is going to put you in the holiday spirit with a dash of spice and a heart full of warmth!

Sit still. Hold on.

She was eighteen and stranded on a desert track. He stopped.

They had four years. Then she left Arizona with a promise she intended to keep.

Years later she is back. The man who told her to hold on is still there. So is the life she built without him, and the one she never stopped measuring against him.

Whether that is enough is the story.

The desert keeps what you leave in it.

ROADRUNNER is a dual-timeline second-chance romance about found family, a first love that did not stay finished, and a woman who kept her word after the man who asked for it was gone.

My Review...

What a welcome back Mr. Hildreth!

This is a story that is gonna grab you in all the feels. A true second chance romance that is so much more.

It’s about a love between two people that will wait for as long as it needs to. It’s about mistakes that were made and how people react and move forward.

It’s about a found family that is better and stronger than blood.

This is a story that demands you take your time to read it, to really absorb the words written.

Mr. Hildreth has stated that this is the best story he has written and I can unequivocally state that this is one of the best. Welcome back to the world of writing, thank you for sharing this story with us, and I can’t wait to see what comes next!

She has no memory of choosing him. Her heart, apparently, didn’t get the memo.

I wake up in a hospital with a year of my life missing—and Grant Hastings at my bedside. I remember him, all right. He’s wealthy. Arrogant. British. And my late brother’s best friend. The last man I’d ever want to marry.

Except apparently I did.

Now I’m living in a beautiful house I don’t recognize, wearing a ring I don’t remember receiving, and expected to play the devoted wife while his aristocratic family, unaware of the gaps in my memory, descends for his birthday. Grant is patient and attentive, dropping hints about an explosive relationship that makes my pulse race. He’s nothing like the cold, haughty man I remember.

Torn between suspicion about this inconvenient marriage of convenience and an attraction to my husband I’m not ready to name, I have to make a choice: leave the past buried or trust Grant to help me find my way back to a life I can’t remember choosing.

The terrifying part? I’m starting to think past me knew exactly what she was doing.

My Review...

Wowza, just wowza…

I am a sucker for an amnesia trope. A well-written story with a forgetful main character is my weakness. 

Take this new story by Ms. Sorenson. This story of Mercy and Grant is just amazing.

Now I will say, Mercy as the heroine-it took me a minute to fully embrace her. She has a lot of jagged edges, while I love a gal who sticks to her guns and is fiercely independent; she was a bit more prickly than I expected. You get a glimpse of her background and her past, and that helps explain the way she is and that helps. 

Grant, first, who doesn’t love a hero with an accent? I know I do. Second, the way that he has to navigate around Mercy’s diagnosis and seeing his struggles with it is both heartwarming and swoony. Second, reading his chapters just made me fall even harder for him. 

The chemistry between these two burns up the pages, and I couldn’t put this down once I started.

Mac Meyers.
My secret crush.
Most unattainable guy on campus.
Relentless flirt (except with me).

Being friends with the guy on campus that everyone wants comes with its own set of problems.

None of us can eat in the cafeteria without being interrupted ten times.
Well, I’ve had enough.
So the most unhinged thing comes out of my mouth: I tell them to leave my boyfriend alone.
Except Mac is not my boyfriend.
Not even close.

Until he looks at me like I have the most inspired idea.

My name is Ophelia Forrest-Hammer, and Mac Meyers wants to be my fake boyfriend.
But I wish he was my real one.

My Review...

Well, well, well….

This newest story in the Tilton University series was well worth the wait.

This is Ophelia and Mac’s story, and what a page-turner.

Fee and Mac are part of a friend group that is strong and secure. Both Fee and Mac are holding back stronger feelings for each other because they don’t want that friend group to suffer. It’s the common dilemma of the friends-to-lovers trope that I love.

There is a bit of surprise when it comes to their budding relationship, and when it comes I love how Ms. Hunting navigates it in a swoony and heartfelt way. There is no rush, and boundaries are fully in place when needed.

And to see past characters make their cameos and presence known?!? Absolute *chef’s kiss*! I flove seeing how Ms. Hunting is able to weave her other hockey worlds together in a seamless way that gives long-time readers a wonderful glimpse.

I have yet to read a story from Ms. Hunting that I haven’t loved, and this story is no exception! Well done Ms. Hunting!!

Neve Snowe doesn’t need to settle down. She is already settled in her small harbor town, with a cozy beach cottage and part ownership in the family-run auto repair shop. She doesn’t want a man, but she likes them. And she has one golden rule: only sleep with flatlanders. You know, the guys who never intend to stay in Lovewell Landing, only use the coastal area for a brief holiday.

And the last thing she desired was the unexpected . . . to be expecting.

Tate Love spent his summers in Lovewell Landing as a teenager, but somehow he’d missed the beautiful girl who turned into a spunky woman, daring him to jump into the icy ocean one New Year’s Eve, then slept with him near the town’s sacred well, holding spell-binding waters.

He never thought he’d see her again, until nine months later, a business prospect brings him back to the area.

Now, the man who longs to be tied down finds that one night planted the seed to everything he ever wanted, while he holds the pen that could sign away all she’s ever loved.

Welcome to Lovewell Landing, where autumn is in the air, pumpkins decorate every doorstep, and a little fiasco might cause opposites to fall in love.

Fall Love is a steamy, romantic comedy companion novel to The Holiday Post and continues the romances of the Snowe sisters in the beautiful and quirky small town of Lovewell Landing.

My Review...

What a welcome back to Lovewell Landing!

This is a story of a wishing well, unexpected blessings, and the heart and heat of a love that is like a beautiful fall day.

This is the story of Neve and Tate.

Neve is a bit of crumudegon, she is struggling with the changes that are coming her way, from losing her last piece of her dad to the Little Wrench she has coming.

Tate is a total Golden Retriever hero; he is dedicated to making sure that Neve is taken care of in every way.

Their relationship was fated in the stars (actually in a well); it was lovely to read and oh so swoony.

Seeing the other Snowe sisters making their appearance in this story was charming and gave the reader even more to look forward to in coming stories set in this lovely town.

If you are looking for a cozy fall read, look no further. The over-40 romance queen strikes again with this.
