An Honest Lie by Tarryn Fisher is LIVE!! 

“An Honest Lie is riveting suspense, but it’s also a scream of defiance, a howl of rage.” –#1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover

“I’m going to kill her. You’d better come if you want to save her.”

Lorraine—“Rainy”—lives at the top of Tiger Mountain. Remote, moody, cloistered in pine trees and fog, it’s a sanctuary, a new life. She can hide from the disturbing past she wants to forget.

If she’s allowed to.

When Rainy reluctantly agrees to a girls’ weekend in Vegas, she’s prepared for an exhausting parade of shots and slot machines. But after a wild night, her friend Braithe doesn’t come back to the hotel room.

And then Rainy gets the text message, sent from Braithe’s phone: someone has her. But Rainy is who they really want, and Rainy knows why.

What follows is a twisted, shocking journey on the knife-edge of life and death. If she wants to save Braithe—and herself—the only way is to step back into the past.

This seething, gut-punch of a thriller can only have sprung from the fiendish brain of Tarryn Fisher, one of the most cunning writers of our time.

My Review...

Wowza! Ms. Fisher goes right for the proverbial jugular with this new story!

From the deserts of Nevada to the rainy land of Washington this story is going to take you places, some unspeakable.

This story centers around Summer/Rainy. A young girl that survives a horrific experience in essentially a cult and how she was able to become stronger, fiercer and a woman to admire.

I really did admire Rainy, she was how she was and made no apologies for it. Her internal dialogue was spot on and I could empathize with her in her adulthood. I admired how she didn’t kowtow to the group of women that was her new circle of friends. (I use that term very loosely, you will read what I mean.)

This story was fascinating right from the beginning and it was hard to put down. Each chapter was riveting and it kept me guessing until the end. 

I loved how you truly see what a smart, remarkable woman Rainy becomes throughout this story. It made me cry, it made me gasp and it made me feel angry for all the things that Rainey goes through. It drew some deep emotions from me.

Every story that I read from this talented writer leaves me begging for more! Get your hands on this!

Title: Love You Right
Series: Love You, Maine #1
Author: Julia Kent
Genre: Romantic Comedy/Contemporary Romance
Release Date: April 26, 2022
 
 
BLURB

 

A missed opportunity five years ago makes for an unexpected encounter now between two people meant for each other – but who square off in a very public battle of wills in the small town of Love You, Maine, where every day is Valentine’s Day. Can love conquer all in a town steeped in it?
 
Kell Luview refuses to be a sucker at love again. Five years ago, he left D.C. with his tail between his legs and his heart broken. Fiercely protective of his small town in rural Maine, he’s determined to save the family tree business and avoid his feelings at all costs, no matter how much he longs to solve the mystery of what happened in D.C.
 
L.A. native Rachel Hart hates being underestimated almost as much as she hates this small town. She has two goals on this trip: get out of the cheesy tourist trap of Love You, Maine with a completed business deal, and avoid running into Kell, her old friend from D.C. who never became an old flame because of a huge misunderstanding.
 
One that still aches.
 
When her rental car breaks down on a logging road and Kell comes to her rescue, it’s clear he’s a changed man – and not for the good. Grumpy and reserved, he pushes all her buttons, still stubbornly convinced she betrayed him all those years ago. He’s never forgiven her, and she’s never forgiven herself for carrying a torch for him.
 
An embarrassing incident gets the town gossip mill going when residents wrongly assume Kell and Rachel are the newest couple to find love in the most romantic place on Earth. But the townsfolk aren’t wrong for long…
 
As Rachel breaks through his defenses and charms the town, he faces his biggest fear: all those pesky feelings he’s been avoiding.
 
Because they’re all about Rachel now.
 
And maybe they always were.
 
Can Kell and Rachel fight their growing attraction in the one place in the world where you can’t avoid love?
 
If you’re looking for a fun read about enemies to lovers, forced proximity, heroines who get their comeuppance and sworn bachelors felled by unexpected true love, featuring a hot bearded lumberjack impervious to poison ivy, and a city-slicker, jaded career woman with a penchant for great coffee, set in a small town in New England – then this is your book.
 
Grab a cup of (properly good) coffee, a can of hot cocoa mix, a jar of Fluff and maybe some calamine lotion (just in case), and get your happymeter ready as you read the very first book in New York Times bestselling romantic comedy author Julia Kent’s Love You, Maine series – where love isn’t just a feeling – it’s a way of life.

EXCERPT
 
“Kell,” she whispered against his mouth. “Thank you.”
 
“For what?”
 
“For this.” She motioned at the romantic dinner he’d created for the two of them, the wide table in this conference room an ample spread for a…
 
Ample spread.
 
“We haven’t even had dinner. Thank me after.”
 
She batted her eyelashes. “Is that an offer?”
 
“Rachel,” he said, moving his hand from her waist to cup her ass. “That’s more than an offer.”
 
He started to kiss her again, but she put her fingers on his lips. “If we don’t eat dinner first, we’ll never eat. And I have a meeting here in this very room, to try to pitch the deal again, in three days. Boundaries, Kell – boundaries. I refuse to have sex on this conference table.”
 
“The thought never, ever occurred to me,” he lied.
 
“Liar.”
 
“Caught.”
 
With a deep laugh he adored, she reached for the bottle of wine. “How about you uncork this and we start with a lovely glass.”
 
“Fine. The table is off the table.”

My Review...

What a welcome to Luview, Maine! A fictional town that is so well described, I could “see” the main street, the town square, and the mythical hot springs. 

I was so excited to see this new series from Julia Kent and she does not disappoint!

This is the introduction of the town and its community, humans, and animals in the fantastically funny style that I so love.

This is the story of Kellan and Rachel. They have a history and because of misunderstandings and youthful pride, they drifted apart. Kellan back home to Luview and Rachel back to L.A.

Time passes and fate (or is it chocolate) brings them back together in one of the funniest scenes ever. Rachel is definitely out of her element and Kel is fighting feelings hard.

I really admired Rachel, her tenacity, her spunk, and reading how she fell in love with the town and its community. I admired how she stood her ground and fought for what is right, even at her own expense.

Kellan, you adorable, too proud for your own good, lumberjack. Pride and self-forgiveness are what is holding him back. I have to say I was so happy that he went back home to be with his family and his town.

I loved the slow burn of this story, it was swoony and perfect for Rachel and Kellan. 

The humor and the introduction to all the new characters was spot on and I cannot wait to see what comes next to the town of Luview and the people that live there! I so wish this was a real place that I could visit!

My Review...

Billionaire Bachelors Club

Oh how these fellas are falling! I am so enjoying this series! 

Dash the consummate playboy. He is charming, he is swoony and he is loving his life how it is. 

Callie is a feisty, big dreams, hardworking gal. She has big plans for her career and is trying to figure out how to make her dreams come true.

Enter Zelda, the grandmother of Dash, who holds the purse strings to all that Dash has. 

A fake relationship, a whirlwind weekend and boy do the sparks fly between Dash and Callie. I admired Callie for her take no prisoners attitude, even when facing situations that are so out of her world view she shines. And boy is Dash smitten!

This story is fabulously paced and I couldn’t put it down until the end! I loved reading about all the “Mavericks”, each making their appearances known, but not taking away from the main story.

I absolutely cannot wait for the next story in this series! Who is the next to fall?

Ten Trends to Seduce Your Bestfriend, an all-new enemies to lovers romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Penny Reid, is now live!

Winnifred Gobaldi and Byron Visser are not best friends.

Yes, they’ve known each other for years, but they’re not even friendly. Winnie considers them more like casual, distant acquaintances who find each other barely tolerable, especially when he’s being condescending (which is all the time).

The truth is, they have nothing in common. She’s a public school science teacher with stars in her eyes, and he’s a pretentious, joyless double PhD turned world-famous bestselling fiction author. She loves sharing her passion for promulgating women in STEM careers and building community via social media, and he eschews all socialization, virtual or otherwise. She’s looking for a side hustle to help pay down a mountain of student debt, and his financial portfolio is the stuff of fiduciary wet dreams. So why are they faking a #bestfriend relationship for millions of online spectators?

When a simple case of tit-for-tat trends between nonfriends leads to a wholly unexpected kind of pretend, nothing is simple. Sometimes, it takes a public audience to reveal the truth of private feelings, and rarely—very rarely—you should believe what you see online.

Ten Trends to Seduce Your Bestfriend is a full-length, complete standalone, adult contemporary romantic comedy.

My Review...

I have yet to read a Penny Reid story that I haven’t fallen hard for. This newest story is no exception.

The main characters are fresh, funny, and had me riveted to the page. 

This is the story of Bryon and Winnie. 

Winnie is a giver, she is always going above and beyond to make sure everyone in her orbit are happy, sometimes to the detriment of her own happiness. She is adorkable and sweet, she fights hard to further the future of women and STEM.

Byron is an enigma. He is terse, blunt, and obscenely honest, which can make him seem arrogant and cruel. But there is a method to his madness and it was absolutely lovely to see how Winnie became the “Bryon Whisperer”.

I absolutely adored the slow burn of their relationship, the inner dialogue of both Winnie and Byron was fantastic. 

Even as a vintage gal, I was able to relate to these two and am guilty of looking up some of those challenges on TikTok. 

This standalone story is absolutely brilliant, I could feel these characters and respect the heck out of Ms. Reid for the research and study she did to make Winnie and Bryon as authentic as possible! 

This is going on my “Best Reads of 2022” list!

USA TODAY Bestselling Author Claudia Burgoa pens a fun and sexy romantic comedy where playing pretend turns to playing for keeps…

We have to pretend that what we have is something like love…

I’m down on my luck.

Scratch that. This is the worst week of my life.

Enter the last person I want to deal with: Burke St. James.

He’s wealthy.

He’s a womanizer.

And a big liar.

And it turns out we need each other.

Burke needs a fiancée to seal the deal of a lifetime. I need help or my business is going belly-up. So, Burke very non-romantically asks me to marry him. Well, he asks me to be fake engaged to him, anyway.

I’ll attend a few dinners, pretend I’m in love, and meet the family.

In exchange, he’ll invest in my company and help me launch it off the ground.

All is easy, except his kisses feel more real than they should.

And the sex…damn, we’re not supposed to have sex.

It’s all for show…right?

Did I mention he’s a really good liar?

Pretending not to fall in love is more complicated than I thought.

My Review...

Oh the St. James family is at it again!

This is Burke and Chloe’s story…

Burke is a fixer, but he keeps his real self hidden behind the playboy facade. He is in a pinch and needs help. He is quite swoony and I loved his relationship with his siblings and family.  

Chloe, oh my! First off, love, love, love the name! (hee hee hee) I felt for her when she literally lost everything. I loved the fact that she was a terrible liar and she knew when to say when. She knew she had to protect her heart and she had to make amends to her family.

This slow burn, fast-paced story had me riveted. I was sad to see it end but I am hoping that clues that I feel were throughout the story means future stories for some of the secondary characters! I am not going to name, names but I think you will pick up on them too!

Way to go Ms. Burgoa! I can’t wait to see what comes next!

“This doesn’t have to be the end for us.”

Except it was.

 

What did we know about happily ever after at the age of eighteen?

 

Mason Braxter was a football legend—destined for glory far bigger than the confines of our small town.

Meanwhile, I had dreams of my own—a simpler life that included staying put and growing roots.

 

And all those plans of mine were going splendidly.

 

Until one drunken mishap a month before college graduation left me staring at two pink lines.

Then I was sharing custody with the most unlikely baby daddy.

We’ve figured out a system. Kind of.

I’m rocking this single mom gig. Mostly.

 

If only I could get a boost in the romance department.

 

As if summoned by my dry spell, Mason Braxter makes a sudden reappearance in Meadow Creek.

Six years have gone by, yet I can still remember every stupidly sculpted muscle on his body.

How easy it would be to fall back into old habits.

But I’m not that foolish girl anymore.

 

That doesn’t deter my all-star ex from trying to prove we can do it right this time.

For all his efforts, I might let him scratch my itch once. Maybe twice.

Definitely not thrice.

My Review...

Wowza…Ms. Rae sure does know how to write a swoony hero!

This is the story of Mason and Presley. I fell hard for both of these characters and Archie was just the cherry on top.

Mason was disillusioned by the life he was leading, he grudgingly chose his career over his girl. Now he is back to make amends, do some soul searching and fight for his real dream.

Presley is a strong, strong woman. She is independent, fierce and is rocking the single mom life. The only thing missing is a piece of her heart. I was enamored with her relationship with her baby daddy, it was a true co-parenting experience and I absolutely loved him.

I loved how Mason was fighting from the start, there was no wishy-washy back and forth for him to declare his intentions. He was straightforward and the way that he wooed his way back into Presley’s good graces was smexy as hell and so, so swoony!

You are going to fall in love hard with these two, I also like seeing past characters make appearances. They just added that bit of “reunion” feel that I like to have in the books I read.

Book Smart, an all new friends-to-lovers sweet romance by debut author Amanda Pennington, is LIVE in Kindle Unlimited!

Melanie Hirsch is tired of watching life pass her by…

I’ve spent the last few years watching my dreams of a writing career and true love fade away, settling for a dead-end job and denying my feelings for my best friend – until I find a list of dating advice for single women to “find a husband” in the 1950s. I decide to experiment: try out the 1950s advice on my 21st-century dating pool and write about the results. If love is timeless, some of the dating advice still holds value. Maybe my experiment will launch my writing career. Maybe I’ll get over my best friend and meet someone new. Either way, I’m done watching from the sidelines.

Cameron Whitacre can’t wait forever…

I’ve spent the last few years in love with my best friend, hoping she’ll notice my friendly overtures have more than friendly intentions – but before I realize what’s happening, she declares me her wingman for a dating experiment. This idea could launch her writing career, so I’m trying to be supportive. But her experiment turns my life into a desperation-fueled dumpster fire. I need to show her how I feel without jeopardizing our friendship, all before she falls for someone else.

‘Book Smart’ is a full-length contemporary romance and can be read as a standalone. Book #3 in the Work For It series, Educated Romance World, Penny Reid Book Universe.

My Review...

This story by debut author is fantastic right out of the gate!

This is a sloooow burn of a story and it was perfectly done.

This is the story of Mel and Cameon. Co-workers and friends. 

Mel is a go-getter. She is focused but sometimes can’t see the forest through the trees. She loves her little group of friends and decides she needs her friends help in a new idea for a book. She needed wingfolks for her “mancounters”.

Cameron is such a delicious find! He is one of Mel’s best friends, but he wants to be so much more. But things in his past have left some inner scars that sways the way he interacts with Mel.

The flow of this story is perfect and the subtle ways that Cameron showed how much he cared for Mel was so swoony. 

Secondary characters were perfect in their own ways, I am actually hoping that some of them get their own stories soon.

Again I say what a fantastic debut story from this soon to be well known author. (That’s my prediction…)

Worth the Chase Front Only copy

 

From USA Today bestselling author J.D. Hollyfield comes a heartwarming, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy about falling in love with your one-night stand. But of course, it can’t be that easy.

 

CHASE

Hit it and quit it.
 
That’s always been my motto. Falling in love is for chumps and I vow to never go down that road again. So, when a bombshell blonde approaches me at the bar looking to hook up, I am more than willing to oblige.
 
One night is my limit, but after our night of passion, I would change my rules for another round with her. Shame, the only proof she even existed is the lingering scent of cherries and the damn smile I can’t get rid of.
 
Or so I thought.
 

BRIDGET

Losing the love of your life puts your whole world into perspective, especially when the one man who is supposed to protect you is the very man who took it all away. I’m done feeling betrayed. From now on I make the rules. And currently, my eyes are set on the tan, muscular, guy sitting at the bar. I don’t know him. He doesn’t know me. One night together is exactly what I need.
 
But when I open the front door to my cousin’s house, and I see him standing on the other side…that’s the moment everything gets complicated.

My Review...

What a fantastic new story by Ms. Hollyfield!

This is the story of Chase and Bridget.

First of all, Chase…this character is hilarious, swoony, and is good at eating crow. 

Bridget is a firecracker, she is really a gal that is coming into her own. 

Both have some scars from their past that have dictated their future, until the meet and oh my me how the sparks fly. Their chemistry is wowza hot and the smexy times are smokin!

I loved the bit of mystery, I loved the bit of suspense and action. It kept me turning the pages until the very end.

The secondary characters were funny and brought the extra to the story.

The only question I have is….what the hell is behind the locked door?!? I am hoping that mystery is answered in Ben’s story!

Blurb:

From USA Today and Amazon Charts bestselling author Meghan Quinn comes a brand new romantic comedy about a one-night stand gone completely wrong. Laugh out loud and steamy with a heart-stopping happily ever after.

I knocked up my best friend’s sister.

Figured I would get straight to the point because how it happened is a mere snippet of the story I have to tell. The real meat and potatoes is what happened after.

Let’s start with how she decided to inform me and Pacey the news . . . together. Imagine that nightmare. I was going into what I thought was a hockey marketing meeting and then BAM! I’m going to be a dad and my best friend/teammate is attempting to imprint my face with his fist.

It wasn’t pretty.

Threats were tossed around, friendships were revoked, and then I was marched up to her apartment, suitcases in hand, and forced to live with her so I could take care of her every need. Given how much I’ve pined for the girl, you would think that wouldn’t be a hardship. Wrong.

This is my one shot to win my teammate back. Pacey is the only family I’ve got, so hooking up with his sister isn’t a mistake I can make twice . . . despite the fact that she’s pregnant with my child.

But with every mood swing, every pair of pants that doesn’t fit right, and every late night run to find the perfect donut, I’m finding it harder and harder not to fall for my best friend’s little sister.

Especially when she kisses me…

Excerpt:

**ELI**

I’m a fun guy.

Some might say . . . neat.

A solid, trustworthy good time.

If you’re looking to have an amusing night out, I’m your man.

No drama.

No worries.

Just good old-fashioned fun.

I learned from a young age that life is short, and you have to fucking enjoy every second of it. So my rule is to say yes.

Say yes to as much shit as you can.

Hornsby, want to go to the pub down the street and get wasted with the locals?

Of course.

Hornsby, do you want to go skinny-dipping in the coach’s pool—when he’s home?

Absolutely.

Hornsby, do you want to fly to Vegas on our day off and run up the poker tables?

That’s a hell yes.

Living in the moment, that’s my motto, and up until now, that motto has served me well. It has taken me places I never thought I’d go. It has presented me with opportunities I never thought I would have.

But . . . and that’s a big but, a huge one.

This time, my yes has come back to bite me in the ass.

You see, it all happened on my birthday. We had an off day, high from a big win against the Calgary Barnburners. It was Valentine’s Day—yes, I’m a Valentine’s baby—and we went to the best singles bar in the city that would be crawling with women.

The drinks were flowing.

The conversations were engaging.

And I was by no means calling it a night anytime soon.

That’s when she walked into the bar.

In a hot pink dress that clung to every inch of her curvy body, she styled her platinum-blonde hair into long, silky waves, and the lipstick staining her gorgeous lips matched the color of her dress. There was no doubt about it—she was a total smokeshow.

Every guy she came within a ten-foot radius paused what they were doing to give her a very blatant once-over.

Unmistakably the hottest girl in the bar.

And as she saddled up next to me, unaware of my presence, it felt like the music stopped as she gently placed her clutch on the bar top. Casually, she leaned toward the bartender, her manicured nails drumming along the wood top as she sweetly asked for a gimlet with two lime wedges.

I was entranced.

I was hooked.

I was stolen for the rest of the night.

My mind wanted one thing.

Her.

She had my attention, and no one would steal me away.

No one would stop me.

Because in all honesty, I’ve had my eye on her for a while, ever since I met her two years before.

And that night . . . it was my chance. All excuses, all restrictions, they were tossed to the curb as I laid down the best tool at my disposal to get her to talk to me: it was my birthday.

And fuck, did we have a night. I can still remember the way her dress slid off her body as I held her in my arms. I can still vividly recollect that her lips tasted of lime and danger. And I can still smell her intoxicating perfume floating around me as I drove into her, one pulse after the other until we both came at the same time. Multiple times.

It was one of the best nights of my entire life.

But it had to end because we agreed it would be a one-night thing. So that morning, she slipped away undetected, and we both went back to our daily routine. Eat, sleep, and breathe hockey.

Was it the best birthday present I could ask for?

Absolutely.

Did she fulfill my every goddamn fantasy?

More than I could ever have imagined.

And if she came up to me and asked for more, would I oblige?

I would be hard pressed to say no.

Unfortunately, this isn’t a fairy-tale story of how my one-night stand turned into a romance for the ages, though.

Nope, that would be far too easy. This story, well . . . it exposes me as the man that I am. The man I feel to my very core. This is the story of how I wear the title “Ultimate Fuckup,” because not only did I accidentally get the girl in the hot pink dress pregnant . . .

But I broke bro code.

Because the girl in the hot pink dress is the sister of my teammate . . . and best friend.

My Review...

Can a hero be any more swoony? (Said in my best Chandler Bing impression)

Eli Hornsby, player extraordinaire, has got to be one of the swooniest heroes I have ever read!

This is the story of Eli and Penny. One night of passion (I love how Ms. Quinn wrote the scene!) leads to some long lasting effects.

I absolutely melted when I read Eli’s back story, his childhood is absolutely heartbreaking and I could so empathize with how he created this outer shell that he thinks everyone wants him to be.

Penny, oh you adorkable girl! She can get to the soft spots in Eli’s shell. She knows there is so much more to this man and she will do anything to help him see these “soft” spots are actually strengths. 

The chemistry between these two will melt your Kindles or burn up the pages depending on your reading preference. I loved how they were like two pieces that fit together so smoothly.

As always, Ms. Quinn gives the humor we have come to love in her stories. The secondary characters really bring the funny and the heart, I can’t wait to hear their own stories in the future.

Heart, heat and humor are the hallmarks of Meghan Quinn’s stories and this one is no exception! 

See My Review Below!!!

Parks and Provocation, an all new enemies-to-lovers small town romance from Juliette Cross, is LIVE in Kindle Unlimited!

Lola Landry stares through the window of her locked car with the keys in the ignition and the radio blaring Beck’s “Loser.” While standing there and sweltering in the soupy Tennessee humidity, she wonders how her orderly life had crashed and burned so badly. Then her high school nemesis saunters up in all of his tall, strapping, fireman-to-the-rescue glory, slapping her with the humiliating proof that it can always get worse.

When the uber-confident Jedediah Lawson requests a date in return for popping her lock, a lightbulb goes off. Revenge is sweet. He would make the perfect victim—guest, that is—for her next podcast episode on Kiss and Tell. What shocks her is the casual way he not only agrees to the post-date interview on air, but ends up hijacking her audience and wooing them with his swoony, southern charm. Not even a low score on the date-o-meter can dissuade the man or keep her fans from demanding more of the charismatic Jed.

What’s worse, she secretly wants a second date with this man who is so different from his teenage self. His unwavering patience and dimpled smile erodes her will, until she breaks the Kiss and Tell rules by agreeing to a second…and a third date. It’s a disaster. Not the date. They’re wonderful. The disaster is that she is falling for a man she once dubbed Jockstrap Jed.

‘Parks and Provocation’ is a full-length contemporary romance and can be read as a standalone. Book #2 in the Green Valley Heroes series, Green Valley Chronicles, Penny Reid Book Universe.

My Review...

Green Valley Heros

I so love the Smartypants Romance world! They have introduced me to a fantastic group of authors! Ms. Cross is definitely one of them.

This story of Lola and Jedidiah, it is swoony, steamy and deliciously funny!

This is a story of high school nemesis between Coca Cola Lola and Jockstrap Jed. Teenagers with typical teenage hangups and insecurities.  Lola leaves after high school for college and a big new job in a big new city.

Time passes and Lola finds herself back in Green Valley, to lick her wounds and reset her life. Her big city job wasn’t all it was cracked up to be.

When Lola and Jed see each other again, the sparks fly off the pages! The chemistry between these two is molten hot and I loved the dual POV’s! The inner dialogue of Jed is phenomenal and Lola’s internal struggle was magic on the page.

Jed is a total dreamboat and I loved the patience and the determination in him to keep what he wants.

Lola is fantastic, she is trying to find her way in the world and overcomes herself to do it properly!

This story makes me want to be a part of the Green Valley community even more!
