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?!?

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!

A Gilmore Girls meets Schitt’s Creek redemption romcom.

Hazel Hart was a successful romance novelist until a breakup drives her straight into writer’s block. Having failed (and failed some more) to deliver her new manuscript, she’s hiding from the world behind a wall of old takeout containers until her publisher lays down the law. If she misses her next deadline it’s The End.

Desperate for inspiration, Hazel impulse-buys a historic home online and flees Manhattan to tiny Story Lake, PA. Upon her dramatic arrival—involving an incident with a bald eagle—she discovers the charm of her new home may have been slightly exaggerated.

The house is a wreck and the town is struggling after their biggest employer shut down. Also, since her raccoon-infested home came with a seat on the town council our introverted heroine is stuck with a front row seat to all the small-town shenanigans.

But Hazel isn’t worried. Not since all six-feet-three inches of grouchy contractor Campbell Bishop slapped a bandage on her forehead and unintentionally inspired the heck out of her. There’s only one thing to do: Hire Cam and his equally gorgeous brothers to renovate her new spider museum…er…house.

Okay two things. A fake date for “research purposes” will really put her work-in-progress on track. Before Hazel knows it, she’s writing a romance novel and living one. At least until the drywall dust settles, the town she’s falling in love with faces bankruptcy, and growly Cam remembers why he can’t live happily ever after.

My Review...

Well, Ms. Score has done it again! I want to move to Story Lake! With just the first book in a hopefully new series, I want to pack my bags and go!

This is the introduction to Story Lake, the Bishop family, and a whole new cast of characters that are going to make you laugh and swoon!

This is the story of Campbell and Hazel.

Campbell is the oldest sibling of the Bishop clan and the epitome of a grumpy alpha-hole with a cinnamon roll center! He fights his attraction to Hazel with all that he’s got, but when he finally gives in, he comes in hard! (LOL)

Hazel is an author in a HEA slump. Her real world is nothing to write about, and when she has to leave the life she has known for a new one in Story Lake, well, let’s just say she gets more than she bid for!

This story is fantastically funny and full of swoons and smexiness aplenty! I fell hard for this whole population of quirky residents and can’t wait to see what is coming next!

See My Review Below!!!

I’m Caleb Baumgarten, the “bad boy” drummer of Red Card Riot. The world knows me as C-Bomb, but I assure you, it’s Lil Miss Rule Follower, Aubrey Capshaw, who’s the human equivalent of an atomic bomb.

After tragedy strikes and the toddler with half my DNA inside her loses her beloved mommy, I get the bright idea to hire my daughter’s remaining lifeline, her “Auntie Aubbey,” as my live-in nanny. Also, embarrassingly, as my sobriety coach, so I can fulfill the terms of mandatory rehab.

Going into my forced living arrangement with Aubrey in her small town, I’m determined not to give in to my growing, thumping, white-hot attraction to her. There’s only a month before the custody hearing that will decide my fate as a father, and I’ll need Aubrey to testify on my behalf. Well, you know what they say about best laid plans, right? Yeah. My bad.

I expected Aubrey and me to scorch the walls of my bedroom, once I got her into my bed. What I didn’t expect, though, was that Aubrey would become the center of my universe, along with my small daughter. My family. My home. Which is why, when danger threatens, I don’t hesitate to protect what’s mine.

Finding Home is a standalone, small town, single dad rockstar romance with suspense, deep feels, spice, no cheating, no third act breakup, and a happily ever after. No prior reading required.

My Review...

Now it’s been a minute since I have been able to dive down into the worlds that Ms. Rowe creates. Life, that fickle lady has gotten in my way. So when I got this new story from the talented Ms. Rowe, I couldn’t wait to dive back in.

Finding Home can be read as a stand-alone, but long-time fans of Ms. Rowe are going to love the Easter Eggs that she has dropped throughout.

This is the long-awaited (at least for me) story of C-Bomb, Caleb Baumgarten, and his new world of fatherhood.

Now, in the past, I haven’t been a fan of his, his hotheadedness has gotten him into trouble more times than not. But Ms. Rowe has made me a fan of his. His back story, trials, and tribulations have explained why he is the way he is, and when Aubrey enters his orbit, it makes him the swoony hero he becomes.

Aubrey is all that Raine has left in the world, or so Aubrey thinks. Then in comes Caleb, and the sparks fly, the emotions run hot, and we get a relationship that is nothing short of amazing.

From the lake shores of Montana to the glitz and glitter of LA, we see the dynamic between Caleb and Aubrey, along with a Raine to create a beautiful new family. 

You are going to fall in love hard with Caleb, you are gonna swoon aplenty and boy are you gonna clutch your pearls with the steaminess!

The Kiss Lottery by Ilsa Madden-Mills is now live!

From bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills comes a steamy story about first love and second chances where a city girl returns home for a Valentine’s Day tradition…and the boy who broke her heart.

Roses are red, violets are blue–someone in Rose has feelings for you…

Yeah, bad ones. Everly Davis didn’t leave her tight-knit hometown on the best terms. It’s been ten years, but you don’t forget heartbreak like that. Then again, the anonymous invite to the annual Kiss Lottery in Rose, Tennessee, gives Everly content for her podcast. And she has a bone to pick with that old heartbreak anyway.

Beckett Whitfield has never left Rose–and he’s never forgotten Everly. He even named the villain in his latest bestseller after her. Turns out she’s not happy about that. Nothing about their reunion is particularly happy, and after the way they left things, what did he expect?

When the Kiss Lottery pairs them together, Everly and Beckett will have to confront old feelings that never went away and the secrets they never shared. But finally telling each other everything might be exactly what they’ve needed all along.

My Review...

This fast-paced childhood friends romance will hit you in all the feels!

Ms. Madden-Mills brings us to the fictional town of Rose and the long-held celebration of the Kiss Lottery.

Everly ran from Rose, vowing never to return; all that was left for her was heartache and regrets. When she receives an invitation to the town’s Kiss Lottery, she overcomes her emotional turmoil to go back home.

Beckett is dealing with his own regrets and heartache. When he sees Everyly back in town, old feelings rear its head.

A bit of history, a bit of mystery and you get a fun romp in a lovely world created by the talented Ms. Madden-Mills!

Everything was going to plan until the night Logan Matthews—one of the world’s youngest, and most eligible billionaires—sits down next to me at an airport bar.

My Review...

Yes! I so love the Banks family! And to include all of them in this story of Maeve and Logan is just *chef’s kiss*!

Maeve takes her role as the oldest sister very seriously, too seriously, and it really forms her into the adult she is now. She’s a single mom, living life the best way she thinks she can when along comes a stranger in an airport bar that rocks her entire world. 

Logan, oh holy swoons, this fella! He is perfection wrapped in a bow. From his emotionally scarring upbringing to the man he has become is truly wonderful. I absolutely love how he fits into Maeve’s world without her even knowing he is doing it. He is honest and forthright and it is lovely to see.

The banter between Maeve and the Banks family is fantastic, funny and what family should be. 

Seeing past characters make their appearances known is right on par with the hilarity you come to know with a Ms. Sloan story!

I love the world, people, and everything that Ms. Sloan creates and I cannot wait to see what comes next from this stellar author!

What’s better than a revenge date?
A revenge husband.


Pro quarterback Ryan Ralston has always known two things. First, he’s desperately in love with his best friend Emme Ahlborg. Second–and most importantly–he still has no idea how to tell her.

The marriage pact they made in their senior yearbook was the closest he ever came. Years passed and Emme forgot about their promise. Ryan never did, especially not on his thirtieth birthday.

Emme can’t catch a break. Always unlucky in love, her cheating ex is a groomsman in her best friend’s wedding—and there’s no way she’s showing up alone.

Ryan offers her the one thing better than a wedding date: a revenge husband. And he’s not just any fake husband but the NFL’s brightest star…and in need of serious reputation rehab.

Playing the part of the happy couple comes easy and soon enough, the lines between real and fake blur. They disappear altogether when there’s just one bed.

All Ryan has to do is save Emme from her ex, find her step-sister an internship, and get his wife to fall in love with him—or fumble the one thing he’s ever wanted: her heart.

My Review...

I have been an avid fan of Ms. Canterbary since 2014, so when I found out that a little tease of a couple that was introduced back in 2016 was coming to us, I was ecstatic! I fell hard for Ryan and Emme, and I couldn’t have been more enamored with them with this slow-burn, childhood friends romance.

I love the flow of this story, I love the way that Ms. Canterbary slowly reveals her characters. The back stories of both Ryan and Emme are major in the evolution of the current relationship between them.

As always, the banter between all the characters is witty and whip-smart. The easter eggs that are throughout this story are like little drops of goodness for long-time fans.

One of the many things I have always admired about Ms. Canterbary is the way she writes what I call witty romance; she really delves into the inner workings of her characters and doesn’t sugarcoat the feelings that they have. With each turn of the page, you are brought into the world that Ms. Canterbary creates, and really makes you invested in the characters. Another outstanding read and just a testament to the creative talent that Ms. Canterbary is. Thank you for sharing your words with us!

My Review...

Whew, what a ride. Now, I’ll admit it’s been a minute since I’ve been able to really delve into the K. Webster universe, and now I remember why!

This is an introduction to the world of the Crownes and what a slippery rabbit hole it is.

I found myself having to really slow down and even re-reading paragraphs to make sure I wasn’t missing something. 

This is the story of Romy, who fights to find her friend and keep her sanity when she is abducted by the Crowne family.

The worlds of reality and fantasy are blurred so much that I fought to try to figure out which was which.

Ms. Webster’s dark and twisty ways of bringing her reader into the worlds she creates are nothing short of fantastic, and I was truly engaged in what each chapter would bring. 

Was Romy truly abducted, or wasn’t she? Was she fed lies, or is it the truth? This is the main focus of this first story in what I know will be a series that will take you on a helluva ride.

If you have never read a K. Webster story, be careful; you will find yourself immersed in a dark, scary, thrilling world that will leave you reeling in the end.

See My Review Below!!!

These former friends might be faking their engagement, but revealed crushes prove there might not be anything fictional about their arrangement.

In college, I often saw Judd Sylver in the library. He was a cool, broody type of guy who reminded me of a deeply tortured soul who might write poetry.

He was very different from the boy I met in third grade on National Make a New Friend Day when I passed him a note, asking if he wanted to be my new friend: Check yes or no.

(I’m a bit obsessed with calendar days.)

He was also vastly different from the young man who stood me up after I asked him to his prom.

Twenty years later, I can let bygones be bygones, especially when he rescues me from a bad date.

Then I witness him breaking up with his girlfriend which resulted in a sticky coffee drink on his chiseled cheeks and ice cubes on his fine-fitting jeans.

I offered him a napkin.

Hey, once a friend, always a friend, right? *insert sarcasm*

However, Judd takes us to the next level at my mother’s garden party, where a misunderstanding occurs with a teeny tiny slip of the tongue and a precious ring on my finger.

And suddenly, I’m Judd’s fiancée. 

Fake or not, things are about to get a little too real with my old friend.

My Review...

Can I just say that Ms. Dunbar has me fully engaged in the Sylver family? That she makes me want to move to Sterling Falls like right now?

This is the story of Judd and Genie.

Judd is the quiet Slyver. He is the epitome of the saying, “Still waters run deep.” He holds a lot of emotional baggage, and he deals with it using his fists.  

Genie has carried what she thought was an unrequited crush on Judd. She is quirky and independent, but she is also carrying some emotional scars that she is dealing with.

From lined unicorn paper to “check yes or no” notes, this story is going to grab your heart and place it in a blender set on frappe. Then, Ms. Dunbar is going to put your heart together with swoons, heat, and a dose of laughs. 

I always love visiting the Slyver family. I love the way the siblings have overcome their upbringing and created a new, stronger family unit.

This story has got to be one of my favorites of the Sterling Falls series (I have a soft spot for quiet heroes). It is another gem in Ms. Dunbar’s Over 40 romance queen tiara!
