Join the hunt for love in this hot and hilarious rom-com with a black cat heroine, cinnamon roll hero, and all the pumpkin spice fall reading vibes! Perfect for fans of Tessa Bailey, Ali Hazelwood, and Emily Henry.

Reeve Donovan is Hollywood’s hottest, most charmingly-stubborn director… and the last man I expected to find strolling down Main Street in my sleepy Blue Ridge hometown. Especially since last time I saw him, I was wearing (half) a slutty super-spy costume, and he was facedown in an Indiana Jones outfit, searching for my… buried treasure. 

With his tongue.

Ahem.

It turns out, my steamy Halloween hookup wants to find the location of my Great-Grandpa Earl’s missing gold… along with everyone else. The Fortune family’s wayward fortune is the stuff of legends, but I always figured it was just that: fiction. Until Reeve and I stumble on a clue that jump-starts our quest… and makes us unlikely partners in our hunt for the gold. 

Soon, we’re swept up in a wild race for the treasure, jostling with a reality TV crew, grumpy historians, and my idiot of an ex-husband (don’t ask). I’ve been burned in love before, and have zero intention of falling for this arrogant charmer… Except Reeve has other plans.

He wants me. I want the gold. And my burning loins want… another go-around with Indy’s whip. We’re both used to getting our own way, so what happens when that way leads straight to the bedroom? And can we outwit the other treasure hunters to claim the ultimate prize?

Find out in the hot and hilarious new romance from Lila Monroe!

My Review...

I just love a Lila Monroe story! You get laughs, heart, and heat in a funny way.

This is the story of Reeve and Ivy.

Ivy is a whip-smart historian and has been burned by her ex. She wants nothing more than to save her museum and live a quiet life.

Reeve is a Hollywood hotshot, but he doesn’t take that label to heart. He has found himself in a lovely small town for a much-needed vacation.

The first time that Reeve and “Lola” meet sparks fly aplenty. They are on fire, and their one night together was epic.

The next time they meet, well, it’s not a spark but a slow-burning flame that kicks off an adventure that will make you fall in love with them both!

This is a fast-paced, fun story with all the hallmarks of a great Lila Monroe novel!

If I had to choose a person to hate, Alex Ramírez would’ve been first on the list…

Welcome to Honey Creek, Illinois, where life was as sweet as the town’s name suggested. That was, until Mr. Fine Dining himself, Alex Ramírez, rolled into town with a permanent scowl and decided to park his snooty five-star restaurant across from my cozy dog daycare. He was tall, dark, and about as warm as a frozen entrée.

After one too many unpleasant interactions, I was determined to stay out of his way and to keep him out of mine.

But fate had a quirky sense of humor. When Alex inherited his great-aunt’s cranky canine, he had no choice but to come to me, the local dog whisperer, for help. As for me? I needed a fake boyfriend to ward off my ex-husband, who was determined to win me back.

So, we struck a deal: I’d turn his dog into the town’s best-behaved pet, and in return, he’d be my arm candy for a few family events and social gatherings. Simple, uncomplicated, and absolutely not romantic—at least, that was what we told ourselves.

As we played house, I couldn’t help but notice that underneath Alex’s prickly shell was a dash of charm that wasn’t listed in the ingredients. Our pretend dates started to feel a little too real. And our feigned kisses? They were getting laughably close to crossing the line. Suddenly our interactions felt less like a food fight and more like foreplay.

With every playful touch and lingering glance, I couldn’t help but wonder: Was this fake relationship with Alex secretly penning its own authentic ending? Or was I risking it all for something that was nothing more than make-believe?

My Review...

This new story from Ms. Cherry is a bit of a change from her angsty perfection. 

I fell in love with the whole town of Honey Creek. Ms. Cherry has created a town and a community that I would absolutely move to. The festivals and traditions of this town were perfect, and I could understand the bit of blowback for the new kid in town.

This story is full of laughs, love, and a testament to the strength of character for both Yara and Alex. 

Yara hides behind her positivity; she doesn’t like to show her vulnerable side and with good reason. 

There is a bit of mystery that had me trying to guess the whosits and whatits. 

I loved the curmudgeonly of Alex and the positivity of Yara. They were a match made in heaven (literally). 

This is a swoony story filled with heart, laughter, and a feeling of comfort. Reading a Brittainy Cherry story is like a soft blanket and a comfy chair on a cold winter day.

Online lovers … offline rivals.
Ambitious and career-driven, I have zero time for dating until Blind Love—an app designed for those seeking genuine romantic connections without the hassle of awkward first dates—hooks me in. The only catch? Ninety days of anonymous messaging are required before identities are revealed.
I connect with Stranger88 immediately, and before long our flirty banter becomes a welcome escape from my demanding schedule.
Soon I’m desperate to know his true identity, so I go digging—only to discover that Stranger88 … is no stranger at all.
In a cruel twist of fate, it turns out the mystery man consuming my every thought is fellow attorney Brooks Abbott—a sharp-tongued devil in a three-piece suit, my biggest office rival, and the one obstacle standing between me and the promotion of my dreams: a job Brooks has every intention of landing.
Behind the screens, there’s no denying our electric chemistry, but at work, our rivalry grows stronger than ever.
But when passion meets profession, will we redefine the Law of Attraction … or will our hearts face a ruthless cross-examination with no chance of appeal?

AUTHOR’S NOTE: This is a standalone romance. You do not need to read HATE MAIL or YOURS CRUELLY first.

My Review...

I just enjoy reading a story about a strong, determined woman. I admired her tenacity and could also see how working so hard to reach her dreams could sometimes be a nightmare.

This is the story of Tenley and Brooks. Both workaholics, both determined to be the best and make partner.

I like how even with the same kind of past, both Tenley and Brooks are quite the opposite, but they find out how much they really fit together. Brooks smooths Tenley’s rough edges, and Tenley is the push that Brooks sometimes needs.

I love the text and banter between the two of them, and their chemistry is wicked hot.

I always enjoy a Winter Renshaw story; they are so hard to put down once you start.

We spend one passionate, unforgettable night together, two strangers who bond over neat whiskeys and messy confessions in a Beverly Hills bar. Then we go our separate ways in the morning, never expecting to see each other again.

We soon discover that some connections can’t be undone. Some bonds, once made, can’t be broken.

And some loves can be as deep as they are destructive…yet impossible to let go.

My Review...

What is it about these McCord men that just make me melt?!?

Just when I think Ms. Geissinger cannot write a better hero, she blows that thought right out of the water.

This is the story of Cord and Shay. 

Cord is the middle child of the McCord family and the CFO of McCord Media, but he is so much more. The bits of mystery that cling to him just make the smoke show that he is even hotter. He is a pro at keeping people at arms length and feels its for the best, but is that truly what is best for himself? No, no it’s not and boy does Shay send his controlled world spinning.

Shay is a heroine I can cheer for. She is absolutely my spirit animal and I so want to be like her when I grow up. (Yeah I am considered vintage, but do we ever stop growing?) She has had some bruising around her heart but she has come out stronger for it. And boy does she give Cole a run for his money! Loved it!

Now I am praying for Carter’s book…I loved the bits of him that were in this story, but I really need more.

Grayson McKnight

I haven’t been having much luck on the dating scene lately, ever since my breakup with my longtime college girlfriend. I thought being twenty-five and single would be a blast, but dating apps are trash and I’ve managed to get nothing but three fake numbers at my favorite bar.

Thankfully, the actual owner of the third fake number was kind enough to reply to let me know I’d texted the wrong number. She was warm and open and expressed curiosity about the fake number I’d been given, so we got to texting. She gave me some flirting advice, so I can get a real number next time. But she was so hot when dispensing her advice, and also so kind, I saved her as Hot Teacher in my phone and mustered the courage to ask her for drinks tonight. Not to get more advice, but to persuade her to give me a shot herself. And she said yes. Well, actually, she said maybe. But I honestly think she’s coming.

Sight unseen, I’m already far more attracted to Hot Teacher than anyone I’ve met on the dating scene, so I’m going to pull out all the stops tonight, if she comes to the bar. The thing is, I might be shy and terrible at flirting, but if Hot Teacher gives me a shot, I’m pretty confident I’ll be able to surprise her behind closed doors. I’ve been studying up so diligently since my breakup, in fact, I’m pretty damned sure I’d be able to blow her beautiful mind, if only she’ll give me the chance.

Textual Relations is a steamy older woman/younger man romantic comedy that will make you laugh out loud, fan yourself, and swoon your way to Grayson and Selena’s happily ever after.

NOTE: Portions of the full-length novel, Textual Relations, originally appeared in Lauren Rowe’s much shorter novella, Wrong Number, Right Guy, that was only briefly available.

My Review...

What an absolutely pulchritudinous story!

I am a sucker for a nerdy hero, and Grayson checks all the boxes for me!

I am also a new fan of the age-gap romance, especially when it’s a younger hero, older heroine.

This is Sasha and Grayson’s story, and what a down-and-dirty, funny-as-all-get-out, and total swoonfest!

I loved the patience and persistence of Grayson, and I could empathize with Sasha’s trepidation and her need to take things in their relationship at a snail’s pace.

This is a quick read that was hard to put down once I started, which is a five-star in my world.

I cannot wait to see what Ms. Rowe gives us readers in this stellar world and the characters she has created.

Honeyed by Carrie Aarons is now live!

Growing up in a house full of brothers, it’s not a surprise that Alana Ashton is the princess of Hope Crest.

Being the only female of the small town’s founding family means that while she usually gets her way, she has to work doubly hard to earn and keep respect. Veering from her expected path to follow crazy dreams, like opening her own shop, not only isn’t in the cards, it’s also not taken seriously. So when her best friend, the ex-high school quarterback with a smile of gold and a traumatic past, proposes marriage out of the blue after years of Alana not-so-secretly pining after him, the answer isn’t an automatic no.

Marrying him, and the fortune they’ll both inherit if she specifically says I do, could be just the thing to set her vision in motion. But can she keep their decades-long relationship strictly business, or will those long unrequited feelings fool her into thinking this union will be for life?

Warren Teal is the orphan no one wanted but everyone speculated about.

After his father tragically took his mother from him, Warren’s story has been broadcast in the media for years. Cue the Ashtons, who took him under their wings the first time Alana brought him home in middle school. Years later, Hope Crest’s royal family offered him a job at their renowned restaurant, and Warren thought he’d found the quiet, under-the-radar life he’d always been searching for.

Until the day he received a letter leaving him a fortune. There was just one catch; he must marry to receive it. And not just anyone, but the gorgeous, stubborn woman he’d always loved in secret but never felt worthy of. Knowing he could return the favor and grant her wildest dreams, he popped the question.

But when his past comes for the future they’re building, she gets caught in the crossfires of the danger and darkness meant for him. Divorce, and breaking his own heart, seem like the only options to keep her safe.

Even if doing so means he may never get to confess that their fake marriage is the realest love he’s ever experienced.

My Review...

I am really enjoying getting to know the Ashton family and the town of Hope Crest.

This is the story of Alana, the princess of the Ashton family, and Warren, the childhood friend, the “adopted” Ashton brother.

The best relationships start with the best of friendships; Warren and Alana are the perfect example of this.

I loved Alana’s tenacity and her fight. She also had a vulnerability that was just as strong. How she fought for herself and for Warren was fantastic.

I wanted to shake Warren and tell him that his past doesn’t define him. His past was not his fault, and he doesn’t carry the darkness that has haunted him.

The bit of thrills and chills always brings me even closer to the characters and has me invested in their happily ever after.

It was lovely to “see” past characters make their appearances known and to be able to catch up with how their futures were bright.

I also loved the hints and crumbs that were scattered throughout for future stories. 

I can’t wait to come back to Hope Crest in future stories to see what happens next with the Ashton family.

BLURB:
Love wasn’t the daily special when a grumpy small-town baker delivers a baby in his bakery. Now, all he can think about is that sweet bundle and her tempting single mother.
Having a baby in a bakery gives new meaning to taking the bun out of the oven.
I’d been in Curmudgeon Bakery for one of those lemon baby-Bundt cakes I’d been craving since I found out I was pregnant.
The draw had nothing to do with the baker himself. Tall, tatted, and edgy, looking more like a biker than a man who makes baked goods. I hardly knew him other than taking a tumble in a rainstorm in front of his shop . . . and then tossing myself at him after he rescued me.
We shared a moment but it’s not what you’d think.
Months later, he delivered my baby among his cookies and cakes. Talk about a second chance encounter.
Then he whips up a plan to pretend to be my baby’s father, and everything heats up from there.
My body.
My heart.
My willingness to accept a perfect stranger’s kindness despite him telling me over and over he isn’t who I think he is.
I beg to differ.
He’s that sugary drizzle on a citrus-flavored, guilty pleasure that’s bad for the hips, but together—him, and me, and baby—we’re the perfect blend of ingredients that might do all our hearts some good.

My Review...

Woo wee! What a start to a new series from Ms. Dunbar. Lemony tart and sugary sweet are the feelings you are gonna get with the story of Sebastian and Enya.

Sebastian is the curmudgeon at the Curmudgeon Bakery. He is an amazing baker, and his baby lemon bundt cakes are just what Enya needs in her life.

I loved the realism you get with these two characters; they are imperfect but do what they want and make no bones about it.

From the soft, squishy, huggable insides of Sebastian to the open mind and open heart of Enya you get a relationship that is both beautiful and flawed, sweet and sour, and oh my me, full of swoons and steam!

I was drawn to the air of mystery in this story, I was guessing until the very end. And the role that fate plays in this story is amazing.

Matureish characters are Ms. Dunbar’s specialty and she proves yet again she is one of the best authors I have read. What an introduction to Sterling Falls and I cannot wait to see which Sylver sibling gets their story told next!

Maximillian Vaughn:
Once I saw Marnie Long, a sassy, sultry, charismatic older woman in a bar, I couldn’t peel my eyes off her. I wanted her. At least, for one night. I’m way too busy with my career these days for anything more. As it turned out, after recently getting burned, Marnie was on the same page as me—all she wanted was one night of fun. I was happy to be of service. What I didn’t expect during our night together, however, was how deeply we connected. Also, how much I was dying to see her again the next morning.

Marnie Long:
After accepting Max’s surprising breakfast invitation the next morning, I was floating on air. Mere minutes later, though, all hell broke loose and I had no choice but to bolt out of Max’s place like my hair was on fire. It was such a pity, too. That scorching-hot patent attorney was the best I’ve ever had.

A year later, when I ran into Max at a party, I was a very bad girl and didn’t resist doing that very naughty thing. Now, thanks to my utter lack of willpower and common sense, I’ve risked my horrible secret getting out. Even worse, I’m in danger of catching real feelings for Max. Which I simply can’t do. Obviously. I’m not sure I can control what happens next, though. When I’m with Max, I feel like a runaway train, on the verge of hurtling off my tracks.

Who’s Your Daddy? is a single mother, age gap, forced proximity, standalone, unputdownable rom com that will keep you laughing, fanning yourself, and swooning, all the way to Max and Marnie’s happily ever after.

My Review...

So worth the wait!

What a spectacular story! What an amazing group of characters; what a swoony, steamy, and heartfelt read.

This is the story of Marnie and Max. First, I loved the age gap; it’s proof that love can bloom anew no matter what your age.

Marnie is a woman of the world; she is a single mom who knows what she wants, even when fate keeps throwing red flags at her.

Max is simply a man on a mission; he is so focused that he does’ t see the forest through the trees.

The twists and turns in this story will have you gasping! I know I did! I loved how Ms. Rowe was able to drop the bombs with finesse and, I believe, a bit of an evil laugh as she typed!

I cannot wait to see what comes next from this talented author. There are so many secondary characters in this story that deserve their own stories told.
