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!

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!

BOOK BLURB:

From Wall Street Journal and #1 Amazon bestselling author Winter Renshaw comes a fast-paced, emotional romance about what happens when the wrong twin falls for the right man.

Being an identical twin has its perks, but when my sister asked me to sub in for a date with Roman Bellisario, I wasn’t exactly thrilled. Sure, he’s sinfully handsome and successful, but he also got me fired from my dream job three years ago.

This time, my sister’s promotion is riding on this date, so I have to say yes. And as it turns out, we’re strangely perfect for each other. I sell art. He collects it. We’re both obsessed with the same obscure, mysterious artist that most people don’t even know exists.

Roman is guarded, though, and I can understand why. He’s a widowed single dad. But as one date leads to another, he starts to let me in, and I can’t help but fall for him.

The problem is Roman still thinks I’m my sister. Is our twin swap going to be the best thing that ever happened to me and Roman—or the lie that tears us apart?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Wall Street Journal and #1 Amazon bestselling author Winter Renshaw is a bona fide daydream believer. She lives somewhere in the middle of the USA and can rarely be seen without her notebook and laptop. When she’s not writing, she’s thinking about writing. And when she’s not thinking about writing, she’s living the American dream with her husband, three kids, the laziest puggle this side of the Mississippi, and a busy pug pup that officially owes her three pairs of shoes, one lamp cord, and an office chair.

Winter also writes psychological suspense under her Minka Kent pseudonym. Her debut, THE MEMORY WATCHER, hit #9 in the Kindle store, and her follow-up, THE THINNEST AIR, hit #1 in the Kindle store and spent five weeks as a Washington Post bestseller. Over the years, her work has been mentioned by The New York Post and People Magazine, as well as optioned for film and television.

My Review...

One word comes to mind when I finished reading this. “Lush” that’s the word. This story was lush, with feelings, with heat, with the storyline.

This is the story of Sloan, Margaux, and Roman. This is the story of a twin trick that became cruel. This is the fast-paced story of love, loss, and what you do for your family.

I liked the air of mystery surrounding the characters. I wanted to shake some characters and smack some others (you’ll see what I am talking about when you read the story).

Set in the big city and the small art world community, I found myself wishing I could really “see” the art. Ms. Renshaw has the talent to draw readers into the worlds she creates and doesn’t let go until she is ready.

I was sad to see this story end, but it ended beautifully, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Bittersweet by Carrie Aarons is now live!

The last place Cassandra Mauer ever thought she’d step foot again was Hope Crest, Pennsylvania. But once the world-famous actress gets the call that her estranged father has passed, and his only living relative will need to settle his estate, she finds herself back in the small town that sent her running once upon a time.
 
Little do her dilapidated childhood home and her father’s affairs know, Cassandra was in need of a project exactly like this to distract from the glamorous life she no longer wants or recognizes. That is, until she bumps into the man whose family is considered Main Street royalty.
 
Patrick Ashton is the boy next door, a Hope Crest celebrity, and one of the heirs to the most famous restaurants on the East Coast. He has no problem reminding her just how much the town hated her old man … and in turn her for sharing his last name. But when he realizes she’s going to sell the land their two families have fought over for decades, Patrick might have to change his tune.
 
As he begins scheming to charm the woman the entire country wants to be or be with, she can’t deny the spark of chemistry between them still exists after all these years. The one that simmered in the shared woods behind their homes where no one else could see.
 
And when the danger that sent her fleeing as a teenager returns to seek revenge, she finds Patrick genuinely in her corner, despite his family’s objections. In the place she swore never to return, she might have just found the love and life she was searching for.
 
Except old wounds and unsettled scores might not let her keep it.

My Review...

What a fantastic start to a new series by Ms. Aaron.

Set in the quaint small town of Hope Crest, this is the introduction of the town’s “royal” family, the Ashtons.

This is the story of Patrick and Cassandra.

Cassandra is returning to the town that shunned her as a young teen, yet she yearns to leave the limelight and settle back into small-town life and living. Coming back brings back a lot of memories, both good and bad, and it also brings her back into Patrick Ashton’s world.

Patrick is one of the siblings; he is working for his family’s business and trying to find his ever after. He knows his past is tarnished by some of his actions (or non-actions), but he wants a bright future with a love of a lifetime.

You get all the feels with this story, angst, thrills, a bit of mystery, and all the swoons and smexy times you come to love in a Carrie Aarons’s story. I appreciated the hints and lead-ups to which Ashton sibling she will feature next!

Anger Bang by Avery Flynn is now live!

Sometimes the only answer is to just bang it out.

Like today, for example. I’m in actual hell at my sister’s over-the-top reality TV wedding and up until now, I’ve been able to handle it all. The horrible bridesmaids. My relentless mother. Even the awful eighties fashion to fit the retro theme. But when my sister nonchalantly mentioned that she never even wanted me at the wedding—the producers insisted—ouch doesn’t fully express how much it hurts.

So for the first time I don’t think. I just do. And as a shy paleontologist who plans everything, I probably should have taken a moment.

But here we are.

I’ve just asked the best man, who my sister absolutely loathes and who can’t stand her right back, if he’s up for a little naked revenge with me. The cameras are filming every horrifying second, and the whispers have begun. (Did I mention that the music happened to stop just as I asked him?)

But then his mouth quirks up, and he does the last thing I expect.

My Review...

I love Avery Flynn! Whether it be her series of stories or her stand alones, I am enamored by her writing style and her characters.

This story is witty, fast-paced, and her flawed characters are relatable and cheer-able.

This is the story of Thea and Kade.

Two people who are thrown together during a messy and chaotic situation. Both characters have scars and hidden vulnerabilities that they live with every day.

Assumptions, miscommunication, and long-seated hurt really propel Thea and Kade into their “relationship” that starts with a bang and how it ends; well, you have to read to find out.

I totally empathized with both Kade and Thea and the issues they faced. Their chemistry was fabulously steamy and swoony and I was rooting hard for them.

The secondary characters were brilliant and really brought more wackiness and hidden depths to this fantastic read.

You will never be disappointed with an Avery Flynn story!

See My Review Below!!!

The fur is about to fly between a cheerful cat sitter and a grumpy hockey nerd in this hilarious and charming rom-com from New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting.

Kitty Hart has become internet famous as the Kitty Whisperer for her expertise on all things feline, and as a result, her cat-sitting business is booming. But lately, she has a terrible feeling that maybe her life isn’t quite going where it’s supposed to—especially after falling face-first into her newest client. Not exactly the best first impression.

Fortunately, Miles Thorn is just as bad at first impressions. Strike one: he doesn’t like cats, especially Prince Francis, the haughty and mischievous Sphynx his mom left in his care. Strike two: tackling her to the floor in a misguided attempt to save the pet he continually calls “the gremlin.”

As awkwardness slides into attraction and things start to turn purr-sonal, will these two complete opposites ever be able to find their furry-tail ending?

My Review...

This new story from Ms. Hunting is absolutely purr-fect! (yeah, I did that.)

This is the story of Kitty and Miles. 

As always, Ms. Hunting writes a story that is full of heart, heat, and hilarity!

I love the adorkableness of both Miles and Kitty. Their dialogue, upon meeting, is charming, funny, and smart.

Both of them come into this relationship with some tragedy in their pasts, and it has left lasting effects. But as their relationship blossoms from business, to friendship, and to more, you see how they are two puzzle pieces that fit together amazingly.

I admired the vulnerability that both Miles and Kitty have, I love the element of hockey and the secondary characters deserve stories of their own.

From this story, I have learned to love my own cat more, to work on teaching her some basic manners (yeah right) and have a little giggle when she is cleaning her “toe beans”.

Even if you are not a fan of cats, get your hands on this phenomenal new story! You won’t regret it.

What a welcome back to the magical country of Torskethorpe!

This is the continuing story of Kellan and Lilly. 

What these two have to go through! Well, it’s just gonna rip your heart out! Ms. Quinn is gonna grab you and not let you or your heart go until she is good and ready!

The love that Kellan and Lilly have for each other goes beyond the physical. (Which is still blue flame hot, BTW.) They are truly connected, heart and soul. To see what they both had to go through throughout this story is going to make you weep and then cheer even harder.

The air of mystery and the element of suspense really drive this story. Every time I thought I had it figured out, well, the ending blew me away, and it will for you too.

Is this the end of the beautiful world and country that Ms. Quinn has created? I surely hope not, some of the secondary characters need their own stories told!
