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

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!

See My Review Below!!!

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!

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!

See My Review Below!!!

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!

See My Review Below!!!

A sexy, marriage of convenience, one night stand, British hero romance from bestselling author, Chelle Sloan.

GUIDE TO LOVE RULE #50: Love isn’t always convenient. Sometimes marriage is.
My name is Maeve Banks—Type A single mom; oldest daughter; and renowned interior designer for millionaire bachelors.
And the new Mrs. Logan Matthews.
The latter title is not something I wanted, but something I was forced to do. And for good My adorable six-year old son.
The guide for my perfectly controlled life was No dating or distractions. Focus on my son and my business.
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.
He distracted me with his perfect smile and chiseled jaw line. His British accent didn’t hurt either.
When he asked me to dance? I was a goner.
But it was one night. No harm in a little fun, right?
Wrong.
Turns out my one-night of fun is now my newest client.
Which is fine. I’m an adult. I can resist his charm. And that he’s great with my son. Or when he calls me “love.”
But as much as both of us make it look like we have our lives in order, they’re anything but.
So Logan offers me a proposal—the one where we get married as a temporary fix to both our problems.
My ex-husband is fighting for custody of my son. And Logan needs a wife to give the media something to talk about.
It’s a marriage of convenience. Nothing more, nothing less.
There’s just one I think I’m falling in love with my husband.
And there’s no guide to love for that

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!

Happy Release Day & Review! In A Rush by Kate Canterbary

See My Review Below!!!

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!
