My Review...

I was excited to see one of my favorite authors write in another fantastic authors world.

Ms. Hollyfield brings her voice to the world of K. Bromberg’s racing series with the perfect mix of dash, Cash and a whole lotta swoons!! (Thought I was gonna rhyme didn’t ya?)

This is the story of Cash and Luna. And what a wild ride it is.

Both characters are competitive, love the feel of a steering wheel in their hands and the need for speed. Even though they both have very different pasts, their love for racing is one of the many things that draw Luna and Cash together.

There is danger and thrills that will keep your eyes glued to the page. Ms. Hollyfield isn’t scared to show the gritty side of life and doesn’t hold any punches when she delivers it.

If you are looking for a story that seamlessly blends into the Driven world, look no further, you will find it with this story!

Synopsis

The message said, “Remember me?” But the sender was someone I’d rather forget.
Alec Mansfield haunted my memories like a cruel specter. In high school, he was my tormentor and the bane of my existence. When he wasn’t defying authority alongside my older brothers, he was sabotaging my dates and sending me “anonymous” emails signed “yours cruelly.”
Alec was merciless, an emerald-eyed devil spending his daddy’s money and wreaking havoc over our hometown of Sapphire Shores like he owned the place. But mostly, he hated that I didn’t fawn over him like all the other girls did.
It’s been ten years since he left town.
But now he’s back, working as an ER doctor at the local hospital, and in a strange twist of fate, we match on a dating app. I agree to meet up, but only because I want to tell him off for making my life a living hell all those years ago. But four cocktails, one tequila shot, and a shared Uber later, I find myself about to have scorching-hot hate sex with my sworn nemesis.
The next morning, I leave before the sun comes up, slamming the book on that chapter of my life forever.
Except a few weeks later, I discover our story has an epilogue—one that starts with two pink lines on a pregnancy test.
Turns out there are things more life-altering than hooking up with Alec Mansfield … like having his baby.
NOTE: This is a complete standalone that can be read without reading HATE MAIL first, though it’s strongly recommended if you want to avoid spoilers.

My Review...

Oooo! I was so hooked on this story. The bit of mystery, the secrets and the absolute thin line between love and hate are what I so enjoyed in this latest book by Ms. Renshaw.

This is the story of Stassi and Alec. 

Alec wants to right the wrongs of his past. His tenacity and patience when interacting with Stassi is swoony to me. He has come home to Sapphire Shores with a mission, and boy, does he get things done.

Stassi is a wounded soul. All her life, she has been let down by love and people that she should have been able to trust. When a big part of her past comes back into her world, she rightfully handles it with kid gloves.

It was lovely to see past characters make their presence known. It was like a bit of a friends’ reunion, and I was all for it! 

This is a fast-paced story that was hard for me to put down! Well done Ms. Renshaw!

From New York Times Bestselling Author Helena Hunting writing as H. Hunting comes a standalone Cinderella story hockey romance.

The first time I met Winter Marks, I almost took her out with my Jeep.
To be fair, she came out of nowhere.

I flirted with her, and she flipped me off and disappeared into the woods on her bike.
But she left me a souvenir: a single hockey skate.

Seemed to me that divine intervention shouldn’t be ignored.

She was my icy Cinderella and I would be her Prince Not-So-Charming.

Winter was more than just a sassy, badass hockey-playing hottie.
She’s stuck in a prison of a life. And I’m the perfect escape.

Neither of us expected to fall.
Or for the truth to shatter us.

My Review...

Wowza, talk about saving the best for last!

I was so intrigued by BJ, his flow, his coolness, and his not conforming to the norm. He was an enigma, and this book really reveals all the secrets that he holds.

This is the story of BJ and Winter.

I loved Winter; she was a protector, a shield, and a kick-a$$ hockey player. She played by her own rules. She has had a hard scrabble life, and it made her stronger for it. To see how the other half lives was an eye-opener for her, and I could empathize with her waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I have always loved the cast of characters that make up the world that Ms. Hunting has created, and seeing them all rally around both Winter and BJ gave my heart all the feels.

This story can be totally read as a stand-alone, but do yourself and your romance-loving heart a favor. Get your hands on all the stories that Ms. Hunting has created. You will be better for it!

My Review...

From the audacity of wrap skirts to curmudgeonly beautiful bridge trolls, you get it all in the newest story from Kate Canterbary.

This author is the absolute best at writing smart, sassy, and steamy stories that are the epitome of girl bosses and growly men. 

Sunny is a rock star of a heroine. She doesn’t let her disorder stop her from being all that she wants to be. 

Beckett is a fixer to the extreme, and when his layers are revealed, you understand why he feels the need to do so.

It’s always hard for me to find the words to exude the feelings I get when reading Ms. Canterbary’s stories. I always feel a bit more in touch with the world around me. I know it doesn’t make sense, but her writing is just amazing. You can tell she takes her time and does the research to create an amazing world and cast of characters that is Friendship, Rhode Island.

If you are new to Kate Canterbary, or like me, a fan girl from the start, you are going to love this story.

I will be waiting oh so patiently for the next Loew brother to get his story.

The One I Need, an all-new grumpy-sunshine, accidental marriage romance and standalone in the Rolling Hills series from bestselling author Chelle Sloan is available now!

You’re cordially invited to the wedding of Oliver Price and Izzy McCall…

That’s how my wedding invitations should have started. I should know, I’ve had my wedding planned since I was ten.

I should’ve been wearing a designer tuxedo, not a tuxedo t-shirt.

The wedding should’ve been in a church with family and friends, not in a 1960’s style chapel with Elvis as the officiant.

It’s nothing I ever imagined.

Except the girl.

She’s the only thing about this accidental marriage that is exactly right. Even if we’re complete opposites.

I’m glass-half-full and crazy colored socks. She’s glass-half-empty and power suits.

I love love. She thinks it doesn’t exist.

I want to stay married. She wants a divorce.

A problem for all newlyweds, right?

From the moment I met Izzy, I knew she was the only one I’d ever need.

Now I just need to convince my wife that I’m the one for her.

My Review...

Welcome back to Rolling Hills!

This is the story I have been waiting for; this is Oliver and Izzy’s story.

Izzy is a girl boss! She is independent and guards her heart like the Hope diamond. Her past has left scars that help create the woman she is. 

Oliver!

I think every girl should experience a man like Oliver. He is everything good, swoony, smexy, and downright goofy and I flove him! He is exactly what Izzy needs and she doesn’t even know it. I was wowed by Oliver’s tenacity in giving Izzy everything she needed.

I loved seeing all the past characters bring their humor and heart into the mix. I wish I had a friend group just like this.

Do yourself a favor and get your hands on this story.

Synopsis

In the Wakemont family, it’s tradition to arrange a marriage before the ink is dry on your birth certificate. I was five hours old when my father promised me to the son of a man with “more money than God.”

As we grew older, my future groom and I were encouraged to exchange “love letters” to get better acquainted—except the correspondence he sent read more like hate mail.

Slade Delacorte hated the arrangement.

But more than that, he hated me.

He was moody, intense, arrogant, and darkly gorgeous. A villain—not a prince. The last man on earth I’d ever marry (if I had the choice).

On my 24th birthday, we exchanged vows in front of six hundred guests who had no idea we weren’t every bit the blissful couple we pretended to be.

But as we began our new life together, I soon learned there was only one thing worse than marrying the man I’d hated my entire life: falling in love with him.

AUTHOR’S NOTE —This angsty, steamy contemporary romance is a complete standalone with a happily ever after.

My Review...

When I got this book, I was a bit worried. Usually, the arranged marriage trope sets off my inner feminist; hear me roar.

But this story, while being an arranged marriage, I still enjoyed the heck out of it.

I loved the premise, the writing of letters over the years to help Slade and Campbell get to know each other before the big day. The visits over the years and the saying a thin line between love and hate. I became enamored of the back and forth between the letters. 

Campbell is the epitome of hope against all. She makes the best of the situation she finds herself in. 

Slade has guarded his heart and his feelings since forever, and it was brilliant to see the change in him when he finally let himself be vulnerable.

With a bit of a thrilling twist, a bit of loss, and the hope of love, this story checked all the boxes for me as being a winner.

She’s a country music star trying to escape the spotlight. He’s the scorching hot bodyguard she doesn’t want on her vacation. And there’s only one bed. 

Hideaway Heart by Melanie Harlow is now live! 

All I wanted was a break—two weeks off from being Pixie Hart, country music sensation, and fourteen days of peace, privacy, and solitude as plain old Kelly Jo Sullivan.

But thanks to some overzealous paparazzi, my family refuses to let me go anywhere alone, and I’m stuck sharing this tiny cabin with a tall, dark, and bearded bodyguard.

And guess what? There’s only one bed.

Well, he can couch it.

Xander Buckley might be hotter than a stolen blow torch, and I get that he’s a former Navy SEAL and all, but the man gives new meaning to the words overbearing, overprotective, bossy alpha male. I can’t even post a photo on social media without him warning me it’s not safe, or take a morning jog without him following behind.

But he’s made it clear that what he says goes, and if I don’t like it, I can kiss my vacation goodbye.

Instead, I end up kissing him.

I don’t even know how it happened—one minute we were at each other’s throats, the next we were at each other’s mercy. What’s even more shocking is how good we are together. He understands my need for freedom, and I understand his need for control.

But emotional trust doesn’t come easily to me. And we’re on two completely different paths.

Without question, I’d put my life in his hands.

Just don’t ask me to give him my heart.

My Review...

What a welcome back to Cherry Tree Harbor and the fabulous Buckley family!

This is Xander and Kelly’s story.

A hideaway and coming to grips with the pros and cons of fame is what this story is about.

This story is also about finding your true voice and not being afraid to sing your own wishes, praises, and desires.

Xander is a beast; he is a protector that every gal would love to have in her back pocket. He also knew when to stand back and let Kelly Jo shine.

Kelly Jo is wanting a break from her alter persona. She wants to be the master of her own fate and destiny. 

The chemistry between Xander and Kelly Jo is white hot and I swooned hard for the vulnerabilities that each one showed in the relationship.

It was lovely “seeing” past characters make their appearances known and for others to show they are ready for their own stories!

Every time I think that Ms. Harlow can’t top her last story, she blows it out of the water with the next and newest! I tip my hat to you!

There once was a man named Kell,
Who fell under Rachel Hart’s spell.
In public he proposed,
Wearing dubious lemur clothes,
Never guessing he’d end up in zipper hell.

* * *

Love You Fiancée is a novella that takes place in Love You, Maine–where every day is Valentine’s Day. It comes after the books Love You Wrong, Love You Right, and Love You Again. You can read it as a standalone, but it’s better if you read the other books first.

No animals were harmed in the making of this story, but another lemur costume goes through a terribly unfair death.

Short Description:

Kell Luview has decided to make Rachel Hart his wife after two perfect years together, and the man has plans. Big plans. Including a proposal so extra, it requires a lemur costume, a flash mob, his own rendition of “I Will Always Love You” on stage, and a surprise visit from her high-powered Hollywood parents and astronaut-in-training brother. But when that nostalgic lemur costume malfunctions and Kell finds himself stuck in a very delicate place, he is rescued by an unlikely savior.

My Review...

Yes!

What a lovely novella that gives us readers more of the Luview family!

This is a funny, steamy and epic story of the brilliantly planned proposal for Alex from Kell.

What is the saying about when a man makes plans, God laughs? It’s never truer than this story.

I was swooning over Kell’s feelings about Alex. I was cheering on this extra proposal from start to finish and I didn’t want it to end!

About THE WAY I HATE HIM:

Why am I holding a box of stolen memorabilia in my arms? It’s called . . . revenge.

After failing my last semester of grad school, I decided to come back to my hometown and wallow in my boyfriend’s sympathetic arms. Instead, he proceeded to dump me . . . for being boring!

Now, I’m not typically a spiteful person, but there’s only so much I can take. Hence why I’m holding the box of his most cherished possessions…stolen possessions no less!

The plan? To give the box back to its rightful owner and rat my ex out. How’s that for being boring?

But plans never go the way you want them, because instead of dropping off the box with a note, I’m pinned with the crime by the true owner of the box himself.

Hayes Farrow is grumpy, arrogant, and stupidly hot in a way that makes it hard to even look him in the eye. Not to mention he’s my brother’s nemesis so I fully intended to stay far far away from the gorgeous jerk.

But to add insult to the injury that has become my life as of late, Hayes gives me two options: turn me into the police and press full charges . . . or work it off. How could I possibly work for someone I can’t stand? Easy, I don’t look good in orange.

But working for Hayes isn’t as horrible as I thought it would be. The way I hate him begins to turn into something else – something I never thought I’d feel. But the way my brother reacts when he finds out I’m working for his enemy? He’d prefer me in prison orange.

My Review...

OK, before I gush profusely about this newest story from Ms. Quinn, I am asking her as one of her biggest fans, please, please, please give us more stories from the Rowley family and the inhabitants of Almond Bay!

This is the introduction to the lovely town of Almond Bay, with its quirks, flamboyant characters, and it’s own “Girl Gang”.

This is the story of the youngest Rowley sibling Hattie. This is also the story of a lost singer Hayes Farrow. And finally, this is a story of love, loss, and finding your way back home.

This story is going to make you laugh loud and ugly cry, and if it doesn’t, well, you must be dead inside! (Just kidding….)

How the Rowley family rallies around a huge loss is laudable, and seeing the struggle to find a new normal makes the hopeful heart shine.

The ugly past will rear its ugly head, but once it has seen the light, it is banished to the past where it belongs.

This story is reminiscent of one of my most favorite stories that Ms. Quinn has given us, Dear Life, and so much more. Do yourself a favor and get your hands on this; you won’t regret it!

Title: The Great British Bachelor Chase
Series: Hollywood Bachelors #2
Author: Lila Monroe
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Exes to Lovers, Grumpy/Sunshine
Release Date: July 31, 2023
BLURB

 

Fall for a new exes-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine rom-com from USA Today bestselling author, Lila Monroe! Perfect for fans of Tessa Bailey, Ali Hazelwood, and Emily Henry.

 

 
Fraser MacKenzie is handsome, Scottish… and the first man to ever break my heart. We had a whirlwind romance during my study-abroad in England, until it ended in an epic ghosting (his), and untold misery (mine). I haven’t laid eyes on his distractingly broad shoulders in ten years… Until I arrive back on British shores for my dream job consulting on a big new production of Pride & Prejudice, and find… that Fraser is working on the movie, too.
 
Or rather, he finds me. Naked in the communal shower. Clinging to a hand-towel and my dignity for dear life.
 
I have zero desire to go strolling back down memory lane with him, even if our burning chemistry would put Lizzie and Darcy to shame. But when I accidentally send our lead actor fleeing on a mysterious mission, Fraser and I have four days to track him down – before the entire movie falls apart.
 
Embarking on a madcap British road-trip with my ex is a recipe for disaster… and serious temptation. Fraser is more infuriating – and swoon-worthy — than ever, and soon, we’re not so much rekindling an old flame as setting the world (and my burning loins) on fire.
 
But can we overcome the ghostings of the past to find real love? And will we make it to our missing actor in time to save the movie – and my career?
 
Find out in the hot and hilarious new romance from Lila Monroe!

My Review...

The second story in this series brings readers to the beautiful British and Scottish Isles.

This is the story of Jolene and Fraser.

Jolene is on the job of her dreams, submerged in all things Jane Austin. But as almost always the case, even the good things can come crashing down in the guise of a long-lost love coming back into her world.

Fraser has come a long way in the ten years he has been separated from Jolene. He has had to completely turn his world around and put his wants and needs on the back burner for many years. When he reunites with Jolene, he once again sees what could have been and what he wants again.

An adventurous road trip, a comedy of errors, and finding out that finding a lost actor is a bit like herding cats. Not impossible, but not easy at all. 

Full of swoons, laughs, and beautiful backdrops, this story will give you all the good feelings you want in a story!
