Roommate’s Guide to Love by Chelle Sloan is now live! 

A sexy, small town, single dad, roommates to lovers romance from bestselling author, Chelle Sloan.

GUIDE TO LOVE RULE #6: Flings are temporary. Falling for the single dad could be forever.

I believe the saying is “never say never.” To that I say hold my beer.

I never thought I’d quit my job as a middle school teacher because of a group of unpleasant parents, yet I did with my middle finger in the air and no regrets.

Now I’m back in the small town in Tennessee where I grew up unsure of the future, facing temptation on a daily basis in the form of Porter McCoy. 

For years, we’ve had the perfect “situationship.” I couldn’t get enough of the flirty bar owner and neither of us wanted anything serious. So twice a year when I came to visit my family, we’d do our thing. It was deliciously sexy with no strings attached.

Yet when an unexpected surprise lands on his doorstep in a pink dress and a baby carrier, everything changes—especially after he asks me to move in with him to help raise his niece.

Somehow I agree, but under one condition—what we had is no more. Because sleeping together and living together is a little too much like a relationship. Something neither of us are looking for.

Porter agrees, but soon I realize I underestimated my strength to resist the newly single dad.

Because it should be illegal for him to cuddle her shirtless.

Or walk around the house in just a towel.

And when we share a look, I remember what it felt like when he kissed me.

Which now brings me to my latest never: I never thought I’d fall in love with Porter McCoy.

And there’s no guide to love for that.

My Review...

Every time I get the chance to read a new Chelle Sloan story, I think to myself, there is no way she is gonna top her last book and boom, she blows that thinking out of the water.

This newest story from Chelle Sloan is going to keep you glued to the pages.

Welcome back to Rolling Hills and to the Banks family.

This is Quinn and Porter’s story, and what a whirlwind of a romance this is.

Quinn is the middle Banks sibling and she checks all the boxes for being the middle child. She is also my spirit animal, she is my new book bestie and I fell hard for her. She uses humor to deflect from the barbs and arrows that are thrown at her for practically her whole life. And when Porter comes into her world, a long time ago, she doesn’t believe that he could really want her.

Porter, uff-da (that’s the Minnesotan coming out of me) what a hero! He is dealing with some emotional scars from his past that has shaped who he is today. But when it comes to Quinn, he can tell his armor plated heart is cracking hard for her.

When life throws a curve ball, Porter and Quinn do what they think is best for them and sparks continue to fly.

It was fantastic to see the Banks family rally around the newest members of their family to be sure they are protected from outside forces that threaten their happiness.

Get your hands on this story, you will thank me later!

My Review...

Holy hotness Ms. Hollyfield!

Talk about keeping a reader on the edge of their seat.

Forbidden affairs, family dysfunction, and holy smokin’ hot scenes. That’s what you are gonna get with this new story.

Georgia is a scarred heroine; she is young, but I feel she has an old soul. When an opportunity comes to keep her far from home for the summer, she jumps at the chance, even if she has to put up with her ex in the process.

Jackson, wowwee…this fella has the alphahole title in spades! 

I like how Georgia seems to soften Jackson’s edges, but also is able to give him what he needs.

There is mystery, thrills and intrigue aplenty in this new story, and I was guessing till the end!

Bachelor party in Vegas.

What could go wrong?

The feisty, green-eyed brunette who stole my coffee thought she was being cute. The last thing this billionaire needs is a thief in his life—especially one with a sharp tongue, a fiery temper, and legs that go on for days.

But one wild night in Sin City changes everything. They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

The only thing I left in Vegas was my single status—and my wife.

Six years ago, my playboy lifestyle came to a screeching halt. These days, my life revolves around boardrooms, dance recitals, and mastering the perfect bun for my little girl. That is until Gracyn Carmichael comes crashing into it, flipping everything upside down.

Turns out she stole more than my coffee.

I can’t stay away, even with thousands of miles between us. She thinks our drunken wedding night was a mistake. I’m here to prove my wife wrong. Because when I want something, I close the deal.

But when the past we never saw coming collides with the future I’m trying to build…I might just lose it all.

My Review...

Whew! What a ride! This new story from Ms. Saxon will grab you and not let go until the very end!

The swoons, the heat, and the thrills are rampant in this tale of instant chemistry, bad decisions, and the whole “What happens in Vegas…”!

This is the story of Gray and Brooks.

Gray is starting her life, she is ready for a “grown-up” job. I loved her spark, her feistiness, and her practicality. Growing up in Vegas can’t be easy, yet she does it well.

Brooks is just…woah…what a man! He keeps his inner circle small and has been burned in the past, but when he meets Gray, all his self-built walls come crashing down.

The villains in this story are just despicable and you are gonna cheer hard for Gray and Brooks to win at all costs.

From the bright lights of Las Vegas to the Big Apple of New York City, you are going to be brought on a whirlwind of thrills, swoons, and oh my me, the heat! Get your hands on this story!

HOT SHOT AVAILABLE NOW! 

It’s finally here! Read it today for free in KU!!

“Smart, hilarious, and spicier than a ghost pepper — Hot Shot is fake marriage perfection with banter that bodied me.” — USA Today Bestselling Author Kandi Steiner

Read today: https://geni.us/hot-shot-ramblers

Never thought I’d agree to a marriage of convenience to my hot, firefighter ex boyfriend.

Especially after he casually informs me we’ve been married for ten years. 

Ten years ago, Wilder and I were so in love that we got married in Vegas for one night only before leaving for college on different sides of the world. He was supposed to mail the annulment papers. 

Problem is, he didn’t. 

Worse? He didn’t tell me. 

Not even when I came back to town to marry another man. 

But now he needs my help, and I can’t say no. All I have to do is have to pretend in front of the whole town like we’re married. Hold hands. Kiss. Not throw myself at him when he looks at me like I’m the only woman in the world. 

My body might remember him, but the rest of me isn’t ready. Because I’m just learning how to find myself, and if I get wrapped up in Wilder’s world, I’ll lose more than my heart—I’ll lose everything.

Again. 

My Review...

Every Staci Hart novel is so worth the wait! 

This second story of the new interconnected series is white hot! I have found a new trope to love, the down-bad hero!

This is the story of Cassie and Wilder, childhood sweethearts, a wild night in Vegas, and some forgotten paperwork is just the start of the whirlwind relationship between these two.

Cassie is trying to find herself after being jilted at the altar. When her long-ago past comes back into her life, she does what she needs to do to help.

Wilder is just the swooniest! He knows he has done wrong and will do whatever he needs to do to keep Cassie in his world.

Full of heart, heat, and swoons, this story had me glued to the pages, and I was sad when it ended. It was fabulous to see past characters make their appearances known and bring more to the story!

I cannot wait to see what comes next from this cast of characters!

Paisley

I’d considered myself carefree and content until I met my best friend’s older brother.

Brody Benson has a way of wrecking my composure with a single glare.

He’s broody and crass and far too attractive.

As if that isn’t enough, he earns more money in a month than I’ll likely make in my lifetime.

We couldn’t be more different. That’s why I settle for catching quick glances of him in passing. Meanwhile, he prefers to pretend I don’t exist.

But then the unthinkable happens.

 

Brody

The death of my mother rocks the foundation that our rustic empire is built on.

After the funeral, my sister flees to find comfort and peace. Dad shuts down, leaving me to keep the business running. That undertaking is made more challenging by Paisley Keaton.

Now I’m constantly crossing paths with the sunny cowgirl my sister left in charge of the barn. She tries to be helpful, which only agitates my animosity. I don’t miss an opportunity to tell her where to stick that overly positive attitude.

The fact that Paisley is the last woman I’d ever date promotes her to a permanent position at Benson Manor. One that needs to be filled to guarantee my ownership of the company.

Paisley will be my wife, but the only thing she’ll get from me is my last name.

My Review...

Yee haw! What an introduction to a new series, Cloverleaf Meadows, by Harloe Rae!

This is the story of Brody and Paisley, and what a wild ride they are.

Reading this story brought me back to the days when I was younger and used to barrel race my little quarterhorse mare Windy at the 4-H rodeos. Now, obviously, I wasn’t lusting after cowboys back then, but it was nostalgic all the same.

This fast-paced, grumpy/sunshine romance had me turning the pages until the end. I loved the dynamic between Brody and Paisley, and their whirlwind relationship is swoony as all get out.

Brody is broody and feels the weight of the world and his family ranch on his shoulders. The unfortunate passing of the family matriarch makes him feel this weight even more. 

Paisley is Twinkles in every sense of the word. She does her best to help her best friend move past the grief of losing her mom, and in doing so, she puts her in Brody’s path.

This is a fantastic introduction to a new cast of characters, and I cannot wait to see what comes next from the world that Ms. Rae has created!

✨Let’s celebrate! It’s release day for CATCH THE KISS by @lbdunbarwrites! Grab it in KU!  #OneClickNow

https://a.co/d/dE2syhG

Why you need to #ONECLICK this book…

⚾baseball romance

⚾reformed bad boy

⚾single dad

⚾marriage of convenience

⚾homeruns of heat

Meeting Bolan Adler, professional baseball catcher and single dad, is a complicated story.

One involving a one-time kiss when I was young and silly. And a two-time tryst as some kind of midlife breakdown moment. 

Anyway, in the game of baseball, three strikes mean: you’re out

I thought my third one might happen when Bolan Adler is the newest client of the sports management agency I work for. 

The same business that just promoted me to agent status when I haven’t asked for the position. 

Also, the ridiculous company that wrote up a reputation repair report for the newest member of the Chicago Anchors which includes:

Bolan Adler needs a wife.

He’s decided I’m it. Only this isn’t a game of tag.

Hearts are on the line when I meet Bolan’s sweet sixteen-month-old, and my role goes from babysitting the bad boy of baseball to bonus-mom for his precious daughter.

Complicated, like I said. 

Add in when my fake husband starts tossing out real emotions about love, marriage, and a baby, and I’m just hoping to stay out of the strike zone. Because the obvious opponent on the field is love.

Will it win or lose at the end of the season?

My Review...

Welcome to another season of Anchors baseball!

This story of Bolan and Ruthie is a bit of a slow burn, but it has wicked hot chemistry and a love story that checks all my boxes.

I love that Bolan is a bit of a wild card. I admire how he recognizes his limitations and works hard to stay on the straight path with his new family. 

Ruthie is trying hard to break free from her past. She is a caring person who loves hard but struggles with issues that have made her who she is.

I fell hard for both Bolan and Ruthie. Their chemistry is epic, and I love the physicality of it. 

The nicknames that Bolan has for his famiy is so spot on and so dang cute it’s hard not to fall in love with him.

As a long-time fan of Ms. Dunbar, I was lovely to see past characters from different series make appearances. It absolutely doesn’t detract from Ruthie and Bolan’s story; it just enhances it.

If you are looking for your next home run read, get your hands on this story!

From New York Times, USA Today and Amazon Charts bestselling author Meghan Quinn. This steamy, laugh out loud, enemies-to-lovers, fake dating standalone romance is now available in all formats! Check out the excerpt below and one-click your copy today!

When a chance at being a bridesmaid turns into a chance at being a bride, how can she possibly refuse?

Hudson Hopper is in some trouble. After doing his business partner, Jude, a favor by hiring Jude’s younger sister, Sloane, Hudson very quickly finds out that she is a massive distraction―especially since she’s now his assistant.

But when they are confronted with a situation where Sloane is told to fill in as a bridesmaid for one of Hudson’s business partners, she comes up with a trade. She’ll be a part of the regency wedding―corset and all―if Hudson marries her in return. Sloane knows the value of the trade: he needs her, and she needs his wedding ring to get her into a high-society club that will further her career.

It’s an instant no from Hudson at first, but when she convinces him that no one will find out, including her brother, and that he will benefit from the marriage, too…well, Hudson might just find himself saying “I do.” down―and her heart along with it.

My Review...

Gahh, this series! I absolutely love the Bridesmaid for Hire series, and this one has got to be the funniest and most angsty.

This is Hudson and Sloane’s story, and wowza, what an adventure!

Hudson suffers from the typical oldest sibling syndrome. He is always putting his siblings and, honestly, everyone else before himself. He is a protector down to the very deepest part of him, and he doesn’t know what to do about the feelings and thoughts he starts to have for his best friend and business partner’s younger sister. 

Sloane is trying to figure out her way in the world, and when her older brother lands her a sweet assistant job, she jumps at the chance. Who wouldn’t want to work with the dreamy-looking Hudson Hopper? Age is but a number with this witty, sarcastic dynamo, and she makes no never mind of the age difference between her and Hudson.

From the stuffy office to the beautiful city of London, you get a whirlwind of hijinks! One of my absolute favorite scenes in all of Meghan’s stories happens here with Hudson and Sloane and the etiquette lesson! (Trust me, you are going to laugh till you cry!)

If you are looking for heart, heat, hilarity, and just the right amount of angst to keep you cheering on your new favorite couple, look no further!

My Review...

Gahhh!! The second book of the Crowne Conspiracy is absolutely mind-bending!

Picking up from the first book, readers are taken back to the twisty world of Romy, Caius, and the demented Crowne family. 

We learn more about Romy and Caius’s past and how they came into the world. We meet more twisted characters who helped create the trauma that Romy and Caius have experienced. 

I admire how Ms. Webster can take a character you should absolutely abhor and make you come to like, heck, even love them. 

You will get more answers to your questions about Romy and Caius, and yet you will find yourself asking even more.

And that ending! Wowza, what a cliffhanger! I will be waiting on tenterhooks for the last book in this spellbinding series! 

Will there be a happy ending? Or will there just be an ending? Who knows?!?

See My Review Below!!!

Blurb

The night in 1982 that changed everything…

There is no way I can resist avenging my sister’s broken heart by filling her cheating boyfriend’s bitchin’ DeLorean with extra buttered movie popcorn, a half-melted Snickers, and the contents of one shaken can of Tab.

There’s only one six-foot-six-inch problem. It’s not The Creep’s car. It’s Frank “The Airhead” Hartigan’s. Now he wants me to drive him to Harbor City to make up for trashing his ride.

On the outside, I’m all gag me with a spoon, but on the inside? Yeah, not so much. The truth is I haven’t stopped thinking about him since that night at Marino’s Bar when he rocked my world to the max—something that can’t happen again.

Frank Hartigan isn’t a guy you fall for if you want to keep your heart in one piece. Waterbury is littered with the broken hearts of the women who forgot that, and I am not about to join their ranks.

Fine. I’ll drive him around town, but that’s it.

No kisses.

No getting hot and bothered.

No toe-curling anything.

And no matter what happens tonight, my heart—and my panties—will for sure remain untouched.

My Review...

As a child of the 80’s I was excited to see this blast to the past and Ms. Flynn doesn’t disappoint!

As a long-time fan of Ms. Flynn’s, I was excited to read the origin story of the Harrtigan family!

This is the love story of Frank and Katie, and what a ride it is!

From Auqa-Net to the neon colors, from the acid-wash jeans to the on-brand and time shoutouts to all the things I miss about the 80s, this is a fantastic homage to the era.

The banter between the characters is fantastic, and the love/hate relationship that brings Katie and Frank together is full of humor, heat, and swoons!

My only sadness is that it was over too soon, and it was hard for me to put it down once I started! Now, I can’t wait to do a re-read of the whole series!

See My Review Below!!!

Two nights with her ruined me for all other women, but I never got the chance to make her mine.

I’m the pinnacle of control. I protect the net, my team, and my daughter.
It’s my final season and I can’t afford any distractions.
Except our new assistant coach just walked in.
And I would know her face anywhere.
She’s the one I dream about.

That weekend, I was just a man—not the legend, the dad, the mentor.
I didn’t care that I was a decade older.
For the first time in my life, I was ready to risk everything if it meant having her.
Until I woke up to an empty bed and no note.
Three years of wishing I knew how to find her, now she’s my new boss.

I can be patient.
But for her—I want to break all the rules.

My Review...

The Toronto Terror series just gets better and better!

This next story in the interconnected stand-alone series is one for the ages! Questions are answered, back-stories are revealed, and we readers again get a fabulous story filled with heart, humor, and oh my me the heat!

This is the story of Roman and Lexi.

Roman is the “dad” of the team, the goalie, the one ready to retire. The next chapter of his story is not yet written and when a blast from his past comes back into his world, he makes it his mission to make a future with her.

Lexi is breaking the glass ceiling with her new role with the Toronto Terror, she is not only conquering it she has the added stress of being the guardian of her siblings. She feels she has the world on her shoulders and is trying to navigate all of that while dealing with her bold feelings for Roman.

I absolutely flove the world that Ms. Hunting creates with this series. The characters, both main and secondary, are perfect, and the way that they make their own family dynamic is just brilliant!

I have said this before, but I will say it again. Ms. Hunting is the queen of hockey romance, and I will forever be a fan!
