Blurb:ย 

Love wasnโ€™t part of the blueprint when high school sweethearts reunite in their small town. But this former military man never forgot the girl he left behind and heโ€™s more determined than ever to rebuild their relationship brick by brick and heart by heart.

Getting locked in the menโ€™s restroom during my motherโ€™s funeral wasnโ€™t exactly how I expected to run into my high school sweetheart. The one who got away. The one who broke my heart.

I could toss the busted doorknob in my hand at him, but Iโ€™d prefer to get the heck away. Because twenty years later, Knox Sylver isnโ€™t a teenage boy anymore but a broad-shouldered, thick scruff man with eyes that still look at me like Iโ€™m the only person in the room.

As a newly divorced mother of two teenagers, itโ€™s been a long time since anyone sees me. And Knox is definitely watching.

Unfortunately, he made choices in the past and I wasnโ€™t one of them.

According to him, that is ancient history. 

Also, according to him, itโ€™s never too late for a second chance. Heโ€™s out to prove heโ€™s solid and stable, having returned to our small hometown, in a better place after a career in the military. Heโ€™s a local hero as a fireman and he wants to rekindle the flame between us.

Iโ€™m the one with decisions this round.

Do I stay where memories hurt? Or do I leave my past, and Knox, behind me again?

+ + +

From L.B. Dunbar comes an all-new small-town romance with a big family and the silver fox swoon one expects from her love over-40 romances.

My Review...

That’s it, I am packing my bags and moving to Sterling Falls A.S.A.P.

The world Ms. Dunbar creates for this cast of characters is memorable, beautiful, and perfect.

This is the story of Knox and Halle. A love that survived time, distance and comes full circle.

Knox knows his mistakes and is trying like hell to make up for them when it comes to his relationship with Halle.

Halle is trying to embrace her new world and overcome the saying “Time heals old wounds”.

Ms. Dunbar has the amazing talent of writing vintage characters that come to life on the page and makes the reader want to become part of their world.

This second book of the Sylver family and Sterling Falls is a must read and I cannot wait to see the rest of the Sylver family get their own stories.

The One I Love by Chelle Sloan is now live!ย 

A Sexy, Friends to Lovers, Secret Relationship, Small-Town Romance by bestselling author Chelle Sloan.

I canโ€™t remember a time when I havenโ€™t loved my childhood best friend, Amelia.

Her big brown eyes and beautiful smile have had a hold on me since we were teenagers.

Hell, I even love her kids as if they were my own.

Now, sheโ€™s divorced, and after twenty years, itโ€™s time to make my move.

Imagine my surprise when she doesnโ€™t push me away but says she wants to give us a try.

Except she has one condition: We keep it a secret.

Iโ€™ll do anything for her, even this.

But I canโ€™t help but want to shout to the world that the woman of my dreams is finally mine.

I inadvertently do it when her ex-husband rolls back into town.

A man Iโ€™ve hated since high school.

He riles me up and I blurt out Amelia and I are engaged.

Weโ€™re not.

Now, we have to pretend to plan a wedding while our meddling town watches.

Iโ€™ve waited over twenty years for my chance.

Will this cost me the one I love?

My Review...

Welcome back to Rolling Hills!

Dear readers, let me tell you, that while this story can be read as a stand-alone; I highly encourage you to read the entire series.

This is Shane and Amelia’s story. It’s a friends-to-lovers story at its finest.

My favorite type of hero is Shane. He is quiet and when he does speak it’s worth hearing. When he speaks to Amelia it’s like a one-way ticket to swoon city!ย 

Amelia is a woman I could totally empathize with. She is finding her groove as a single mom who has learned from her past and does not want to repeat the mistakes she made.

The relationship between Shane and Amelia could be considered an insta love, but it’s been built over a lifetime of friendship.

I absolutely love this series; the characters really draw you into the world that Ms. Sloan has created and I could totally see myself in Rolling Hills!

Synopsis

From Wall Street Journal and #1 Amazon bestselling author Winter Renshaw comes a sizzling romance about two people who fall in love, go their separate ways, and then try to reconnect against all odds.

Always a bridesmaid, never a brideโ€”and thatโ€™s the way I like it.

I may be anti-marriage, but Iโ€™m still pro-romance. Case in point? That sexy curmudgeon I met last year during my cousinโ€™s tropical bachelorette getaway.

That grump was Dorian, the groomโ€™s old college roommate, there for the bachelor party. I couldnโ€™t get enough of his messy brown hair and gorgeous turquoise eyes. We connected on a deep levelโ€”emotionally and physically.

But the timing wasnโ€™t right. So we made a pact to reconnect in two years. Now Iโ€™m starting a new โ€œjob.โ€ Itโ€™ll take a lot of work and pays really wellโ€”Iโ€™m talking seven figures here. All I have to do is pretend to be my bossโ€™s new fiancรฉeโ€ฆand spend eight weeks with his family on their private island. How hard could it be?

Turns out, a lot harder than I thought. Because the man Iโ€™m pretending to love? Heโ€™s Dorianโ€™s brother, and now all bets are offโ€ฆย

My Review...

Oh what a twisted web Ms. Renshaw weaves with this new story.

This is the story of Dorian and Briar.

This is a story of family lies and secrets. This is the story of how fate can sometimes be cruel.

Briar and Dorian’s relationship is unique and I admired that uniqueness didn’t change or they didn’t bend to the traditional ways.

Dorian’s family is quite the definition of dysfunctional and Briar’s past has left some scars that have really changed who she is as an adult.

The locations are described beautifully, I could picture myself in the same locations. (And some I truly wished I was)

If you are looking for a dishy, perfect romance, with family drama and secrets aplenty, get your hands on this!

See My Review Below!!!

Single dad, hockey coach, and the last guy this single mom should fall for.

Where It Begins, an all-new swoon-filled Pucked novella from New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting, is available now!

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Helena Hunting comes a new story in her Pucked series. The untold story of Skye and Sidney, and the origin story where Vi and Miller are teens when their parents start dating and fall in loveโ€ฆ

I accidentally grabbed the wrong drink at the coffee shop. On the upside, the hot guy it belonged to chased me down to kindly swap with me. On the down side, the reason I grabbed the wrong drink in the first place is because the hot guy had just caught me checking out his assโ€ฆsets.

In my defense, his rear view is rather magnificent.

In true, humiliating form, I word-vomited a bunch of horrible nonsense. Including an unnecessary explanation of the trauma Iโ€™d evaded thanks to his chasing me down. Nothing could ruin my lactose-intolerant day faster than my one true nemesis: dairy.

I did not expect him to ask me out on a date after that.

I also didnโ€™t expect the date to go well since my tendency to truth-vomit is high, and not everyone finds that quality endearing.

But apparently he does. Because he asks me out again.
And again.

Sidney Butterson (yes, itโ€™s a weird last name) ticks all my boxes.
He’s smart, he’s funny, he’s employed and he’s ridiculously hot.
Thereโ€™s one catch.

Weโ€™re both single parents. With teens.

And if our kids donโ€™t like each other?
Well, weโ€™re doomed.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, itโ€™s an introduction to an authorโ€™s world. And for fans, itโ€™s a bonus book in the authorโ€™s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Keep reading for a look inside Where It Begins!

Hubert, the barista, calls out, โ€œSkye and Sidney! Your lattes are ready!โ€
I rush forward and grab mine, muttering a hasty, โ€œThanks!โ€ Then beeline for the exit. Of course, thatโ€™s the moment a hoard of teens barrel through the door, forcing me to hold it open until the entire gaggle has stormed the cafรฉ.
Once outside, I hustle to the crosswalk. I punch the button and glare as the sign counts down from thirty.
And then I hear my name being called.
I glance toward the cafรฉ and, much to my horror, the attractive man whose butt I was admiring is rushing toward me, coffee in hand.
โ€œHey! Youโ€™re Skye, right?โ€ he asks.
โ€œYes. Thatโ€™s me.โ€ Maybe he didnโ€™t mind my checking out his butt.
โ€œYou took the wrong coffee.โ€ He taps the side of the cup with the name SKYE written in Larissaโ€™s lovely cursive.
โ€œOh.โ€ I turn mine around and see Sidney scrawled on the side. And itโ€™s a pumpkin spice latte. Half sweet, skim milk. โ€œWow. I would have spent the rest of the afternoon working from a bathroom stall if you hadnโ€™t caught me.โ€ At his questioning expression, I continue with the embarrassing word vomit. โ€œIโ€™m lactose intolerant and this much dairy would mean stomach cramps for days.โ€ I bite my lips together and close my eyes. โ€œSorry. You didnโ€™t need to know that. I havenโ€™t taken a sip. See. No lipstick prints.โ€ I thrust the cup toward him and reluctantly crack a lid.
Heโ€™s smiling. Widely. โ€œIโ€™m very glad I caught you when I did then. I wouldnโ€™t want to be responsible for an afternoon of prolonged discomfort.โ€
We exchange takeout cups. โ€œIt wouldโ€™ve been my fault for not checking more than the S, but I was trying to escape my embarrassment. Seems like itโ€™s following me around and making things worse.โ€ I step away from this exceptionally hot man who inspires an unprecedented amount of word vomit. โ€œThank you for stopping me. You, uh…you didnโ€™t drink out of mine, did you?โ€
โ€œI didnโ€™t.โ€ His eyes are blue. So vibrant and pretty and his teeth are straight. I glance at his hand. His ring finger is bare. Then I realize heโ€™s giving my hand the same inspection. โ€œDo you work around here?โ€
โ€œJust across the street.โ€ I thumb over my shoulder. โ€œYou?โ€
โ€œNo, but Iโ€™m in the area often.โ€ He tucks a hand in his pocket. โ€œMaybe youโ€™d like to grab a coffee later this week?โ€
I blink at him. Then open my mouth and ask a stupid question. โ€œAre you asking me out?โ€
โ€œUnless youโ€™re already seeing someone. I didnโ€™t see a ring, so I was hopeful.โ€ His bottom lip slides through his teeth and for a moment, he looks boyishly handsome.
โ€œButโ€ฆyou donโ€™t know anything about me.โ€ I donโ€™t know why I havenโ€™t said yes yet. Heโ€™s attractive and thoughtful enough to stop me from drinking the wrong coffee. His kindness saved me from ending up curled in the fetal position on a bathroom floor.
He rubs the back of his neck. โ€œIโ€™ve seen you here before. Iโ€™ve been working up the nerve to introduce myself. Looks like the universe gave me a push in the right direction.โ€ He holds up a hand and gives his head a little shake. โ€œIโ€™m probably making this awkward. Iโ€™ll be here Wednesday at eleven-thirty. Hopefully, Iโ€™ll see you then.โ€ And with that, he turns and disappears into the crowd.

My Review...

As a long-time fan of Ms. Hunting’s work, I was so excited to see this.

It’s a great introduction and the origin story of the Pucked series (which is still one of my all-time favorites!)

This is the lovely, steamy story of Sidney and Skye.ย 

Two single parents, finding love again. It was swoony, hilarious and I loved the multiple POVs!

This novella was too short! I could have read a full-length novel about these two.ย 

I also loved seeing other main characters in her series making their appearances known!ย 

If you are new to Helena or a long-time fan, you are gonna want to read this gem!

See My Review Below!!!

In a sizzling romance that sparkles with wit and depth, two wounded souls meet by chance in the desert and agree to get married, and their lives will never be the same.

On a normal day, Emmaline Darling isn’t a car thief. She’s just a simple girl who runs a bookstore and adores cats. But when she’s stranded in the desert and needs to get away from her dangerous ex-boyfriend, she picks her only option: swiping the keys to a famous football player’s Lamborghini and speeding away.

Football star Graham Harlan is in chaos. First he took a hit on the field that left him with a near-death experience, and now he’s promised his brother he’ll get married to secure the family inheritance. Trouble is he isn’t even seeing anyone.

Then a mystery woman steals his car. With his usual stubbornness, he tracks her all the way to Manhattan and gives her an ultimatum: marry me or I’ll press charges.

Her choice is obvious, only neither of them expect the sparks that ignite between them.

As the end of their arrangement looms, will Graham take a chance on love or let his darling walk away forever?

My Review...

Wowza! I am hoping this is just the start of a new series!

This is the story of Emmy and Graham.

Both have had life-altering events that have happened to them and have caused them both to be relationship-adverse. However, they can’t seem to fight the way fate throws them together and the absolute chemistry between them.

Emmy is wonderful and she has my dream job!

Graham is the perfect blend of alpha and hero!

I loved the world that Ms. Madden-Mills has created with the Darling and Harlan families. Especially the bookstore. I want to live in a place that the author has created.

The secondary characters really bring a richness to the story and I hope that we get more stories about some of them.

See My Review Below!!!

Charlotte McDougal
I hate him and I donโ€™t even know his name.

The good news is my nemesis has made it abundantly clear the feeling is mutual. He did call me pretty, though, in the midst of a heated screaming match. Which would have been flattering, if I didnโ€™t loathe him so much. But whatever. I donโ€™t care how handsome he might be, or how charming the rest of the world probably finds him, guys who look like aged-out boy banders arenโ€™t my type. Add to that, heโ€™s got a knack for being in precisely the wrong place at the wrong time, and I was thrilled to march away from our angry skirmish and never see the b*stard with the piercing blue eyes, ever again.

It wasnโ€™t meant to be, though. As it turns out, my sworn enemy is my new next-door neighbor. F*ck my life. Luckily, heโ€™s got a big secret to keep, just like I do. Heโ€™s in a jam, and so am I. So, weโ€™ve decided to put our differences aside long enough to resolve our respective predicaments. Of course, weโ€™ve made it clear this is going to be a business arrangement and nothing more. A necessary means to an end. But when youโ€™re forced to work closely with your sworn enemy, a guy who happens to be ridiculously attractive and surprisingly funnyโ€”when he actually starts to grow on you, much to your shockโ€”keeping things strictly professional becomes easier said than done.

My Neighborโ€™s Secret is a funny, silly, zany, swoony, spicy, enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, standalone rom com that will keep you laughing, swooning, guessing, and fanning yourself, all the way to Charlotte and Auggieโ€™s happily ever after.

My Review...

Well Ms. Rowe, you have done it again! I absolutely fell hard and completely embraced this story from start to finish.

This is Auggie’s long-awaited story (well at least for me it was). I am always a sucker for the shy, quiet, nerdy types and Auggie doesn’t fail to deliver all the goods!

Charlotte is just the person Auggie needs to bring the sparkle and fun into his world.ย 

Their meet-cute, wasn’t very pretty, in fact, it was downright vicious. But eventually, the heart wants what it wants and when Charlotte and Auggie come together, well it’s a house on fire with swoons, heat, and hilarity!

The mystery, the intrigue and the downright laughs you are going to get from this new story from Lauren Rowe is epic.ย 

I always love a happily ever after story!

About HEโ€™S NOT MY TYPE:

Word to the wise, never become roommates with a girl youโ€™ve been pining over for the better part of a year. 

Youโ€™re probably wondering why I would do such a thing? Well, I didnโ€™t. 

It was my teammates. 

The moment they found out Blakely White was single, they took it upon themselves to play cupid and instruct me on how I should win her over.

Don’t wear a shirt around her.
Make her dinner.
Lightly touch her shoulder when you say goodbye. 

I’m so flustered, so overwhelmed, so madly in love with this woman who barely notices me, that I lose control of the situation and make one huge mistake: I offer to be her fake date for a wedding so she can make her ex jealous. 

That means, for one whole night I get a free pass with her. I get to hold her, dance with her, kiss herโ€ฆstare at her from across the room like sheโ€™s my entire world because she has been for months now. 

But when the night comes to an end, Iโ€™m faced with two options: bring her back to my bedroom and show her how I really feel, or let her walk away, succumbing to the fact that I very well might not be her type.

My Review...

I knew Halsey was gonna be my favorite, my ultimate book-boyfriend. And boy did Ms. Quinn give her readers a slapshot to the heart with this new story.

This is Halsey and Blakely’s story.

I am not gonna lie, this is a book for the ages! I laughed, I cried and I was melting at the chemistry between Halsey and Blakely.ย 

The text messages in the group chat were hysterical.

I bonded with all the characters hard, from Blakely’s light and energy to Halsey’s “still waters run deep” front he plays well.

The world that Ms. Quinn has created with the crew of the Agitators is nothing short of brilliant and I cannot wait to read the next story.ย 

I can totally see myself re-reading this over and over again, and let me tell you, I don’t say that often. Well done Ms. Quinn, well done!

EXCERPT

ย 

Carolina was introducing him to his former fiancรฉe.

ย 

Fine. Near fiancรฉe. It had been a promise ring, not an engagement diamond, but still.
The run he’d just finished was apparently unnecessary from a cardio standpoint, since his heart was now racing, crashing into his ribs as if it were fleeing a crime scene. Not that he was the bad guy. But still.
Kari. No way.
It was his Kari. And okay, maybe she was never formally his fiancรฉe, but until college and distance broke them up, they always planned on it. Heโ€™d given her a promise ring in high school, so that was close enough.
When Carolina had mentioned she was meeting two wedding professionals named Katie and Carrie, he’d heard it as the more familiar spelling. She’d never spelled it out, and she hadn’t bothered to tell him Kari’s last name.
โ€œCaleb, have you swallowed your tongue along with your manners? Shake the poor woman’s hand, for goodness sake!โ€ Carolina crooned, giving him side-eye while managing a puzzled smile at Kari as the two stood awkwardly in front of each other, gaping.
Kari had changed in some ways, for sure, but it was her, alright. Her brown hair was a darker shade but still thick and shiny, framed in soft layers around her face, brushing the edges of straight, strong shoulders. He recognized those whiskey brown eyes, deceptively sleepy unless you knew her, knew that behind them, her brain was working constantly at warp speed.
She was taller nowโ€“or anyway, she didnโ€™t wear four-inch heels back thenโ€“so instead of having to bend to kiss her lips, he could just dip his head.
If he wanted to kiss her.
If wanting to kiss her wasnโ€™t the only thing he could think about.

ย 
ย 
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julia Kent writes romantic comedy with an edge. Since 2013, she has sold more than 2 million books, with 4 New York Times bestsellers and more than 21 appearances on the USA Today bestseller list. Her books have been translated into French, German, and Italian, with more titles releasing in the future.
ย 
From billionaires to BBWs to new adult rock stars, Julia finds a sensual, goofy joy in every contemporary romance she writes.

My Review...

YES!!! A new series by the talented Julia Kent! I am all over that like a bad rash!ย 

The Wedding Protectors, an amazing business model, and a fantastic setup.

This is the story of one of the founders Kari and her foray into the world of the Micklemas family. Little does she know that an old flame is part of that.

Caleb Mickelmas is biting his tongue big time during the planning and coordination of the wedding between his brother and the mother of all bridezillas. A shining spot in this is seeing Kari again and trying to figure out what had gone wrong all those years ago.

As always you are going to get hilarity, heat, and oh the swoons with this new story. I loved seeing all the past characters make appearances. There are Easter eggs aplenty!ย 

I am always happy after reading a Julia Kent story! I cannot wait for the next in this new series!

I was trying to do the right thing, not looking for trouble.
What would you do if you found a wounded man on the sidewalk? Call 911 and stay with him until his family arrives at the hospital, right? So I did, then I went back to my life.
Except, he vowed to find me. And he did.
Scorching hot sports agent, Percival Hills.
He claims I saved him, and in return, he’s offered to give me whatever I want.
I just wanted fun, and he promised to deliver.
It started as a wicked game of pleasure, and then everything changed.
Will the ties that bind us keep us together or tear us apart?

My Review...

Oh Ms. Mohel! You have brought a story that has heart, heat, and a sensitivity that really embraces the characters.

This is the story of Percival and Spencer,ย  and what a lovely story it is.

Spencer is an amazingly written character, her disability doesn’t define her and Ms. Mohel brings her to life with respect, caring, and a dignity that is inspiring.

Percival, the epitome of a playboy. But all he needed was the right woman to bring him to the light.

The way that Spencer and Percival meet is nothing short of thrilling and scary. And their whirlwind romance will take your breath. The amazing landscapes and places that they visit are described beautifully.

If you are looking for a fast-paced, insta love, look no further than this newest story from the talented mind of Ms. Mohel.

BLURB: 

With the name Holliday, youโ€™d think Iโ€™d be all about the Christmas season. Most years, I am, but this one not so much. Between my ex being a real Scrooge-in-the-backside, re-entering the workforce, wrangling my two children, and evading my eight-year-oldโ€™s questions about Santaโ€™s existence, Iโ€™m struggling to believe in the magic myself.

Enter Nick, my next-door neighbor. My very hot, single, fireman neighbor. Heโ€™s full of the seasonal spirit from hanging my outdoor Christmas lights to playing Santa for the local church breakfast.

Funny thing about Nick, he kind of resembles the man in red, in a younger, sexier, silver fox way, complete with snow in his beard but rather tight abs suggesting cookies are not part of his diet when they are a staple of mine.

Anywho, heโ€™s sweet in a rugged sense, and if he were the man making a list and checking it twice, Iโ€™d like to be in his naughty column. Because something tells me being a little naughty-ish with Nick from next door might bring me tidings of comfort and restore my joy in this season.

When he discovers I have a seasonal list myself, heโ€™s determined to help me accomplish all the to-dos, only falling in love with my next-door neighbor wasnโ€™t one of them.

My Review...

Well, ho, ho, ho, indeed! Ms. Dunbar’s steamy, heart-melting new story is sure to put readers in the proper holiday spirit.

This is the story of Holliday and Nick, perfect names for a perfect couple.

Holliday is trying hard to get into the holiday spirit. Her world is changing in a big way, and she’s learning to navigate on her own with two kiddos in tow, so it’s not easy.

Next-door neighbor Nick is the perfect Christmas delight. He is a swoony present wrapped in a handsome package.

This fast-paced story is full of holiday goodness, with a dash of miscommunication, a smidgen of assumptions, and a large helping of spiciness!

I have always admired how Ms. Dunbar takes more mature characters and gives them the heat and heart that is believable and relatable.ย
