My ex-boyfriend cheated on me with my best friend.

I went to the bathroom, came back, and…they were right there, sucking face in the middle of the bar like they didn’t have a care in the world.

And—

What could I do with that?

What I always do, I suppose.

Run.

Only this time I end up running straight into the arms of a big, gorgeous, bearded hockey player.

Leo West saves me from the floor of the bar.

But he also saves me from the boring loneliness of my life.

The only question is if he’s going to let me save him right back.

 

 

REVIEW: SNOWED (A SIERRA HOCKEY NOVELLA) BY ELISE FABER

 

Snowed: A Sierra Hockey Novella by Elise Faber

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Short enough to grab attention and smart enough to capture a heart. Faber mixes the unpredictability of life and love with a dash of humor and a hint of common sense. Snowed is an irresistible heartache that dares to let it's strength of character and vulnerability of heart peek through.

About the Author:

USA Today bestselling author, Elise Faber, loves chocolate, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and hockey (the order depending on the day and how well her team—the Sharks!—are playing). She and her husband also play as much hockey as they can squeeze into their schedules, so much so that their typical date night is spent on the ice. Elise changes her hair color more often than some people change their socks, loves sparkly things, and is the mom to two exuberant boys.

She lives in Northern California. Connect with her in her Facebook group, the Fabinators or email her at elisefaberauthor@gmail.com.

Whoever said love is the answer… obviously didn’t ask the right questions.

 

Slow Motion by Kat Mizera is #NowLive!

 

 

"A hard questions, heavy heart romance. From the unpredictable to the inevitable, Noah and Kiki clearly have something to say. Slow Motion is a soulful, heartbreaker that has the courage to speak up." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)

Whoever said love is the answer… obviously didn’t ask the right questions.

 

I’ve loved Noah for a long time, but I can’t compete with his addiction, especially while he’s a roadie for a touring rock band.

 

Being with him is so much harder than I thought it would be, but I don’t know if I’m ready to give up on him.

 

An unplanned pregnancy leaves us teetering on the edge.

 

It’ll either pull us together or tear us apart.

 

 

REVIEW: SLOW MOTION: BACKSTAGE PASS (A ROCK HARD NOVELLA) BY KAT MIZERA

 

Slow Motion by Kat Mizera

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

A hard questions, heavy heart romance. Mizera delves deep into the emotional compass of love. Does the beautiful moments outweigh the drama? From the unpredictable to the inevitable, Noah and Kiki clearly have something to say. Slow Motion is a soulful, heartbreaker that has the courage to speak up.

About the Author:

USA Today Bestselling and award-winning author Kat Mizera is a South Florida native. Born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust, she's called Los Angeles, Long Island, upstate New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Atlanta home. She's never been able to pick which locale is her favorite, but if pressed, she'd probably choose the west coast.

A typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max), Kat can usually be found scrapbooking or indulging in her second love (after writing) - traveling. Greece is one of her favorite places in the world. She loves that Athens is a big city with a small-town feel. The food, beaches and culture keep her going back as often as possible.

Kat's been a working freelance writer for nearly 30 years. She sold her first article--a review of a rock concert--for $10 in 1985. Since then she's been an entertainment journalist, waitress, bartender, legal assistant, food critic, magazine editor, substitute teacher, and sports writer. She also spent some time working at A & M Records in Los Angeles.

As you can guess from her Las Vegas Sidewinders series, Kat loves hockey and occasionally writes articles about her favorite team, the Florida Panthers. The rest of the time, she writes novels: sexy, romantic fiction that she hopes makes you as happy as it makes her. There's something enticing about hockey players and romance...

She is a professional eye roller with a penchant for swearing like a sailor, and some of her favorite people (her nephews) are convinced she is a spy. She makes her home in San Diego with her loving husband and her prized collections of books and lipstick, neither of which ever fail to lift her spirits when she's feeling down.

Sometimes the only way forward is to go back home…

Jessica Steele has received the worst early birthday present ever—her husband of almost thirty years has left her without a word.

Now adrift and running out of options, Jess takes her teenaged daughter, Glory, back to the Florida Keys. Jess hopes that fixing up her uncle’s rambling beach house will be the fresh start they both need. 

But she doesn’t expect that her older daughters will join them—Liberty, the pediatric nurse with the seemingly perfect marriage, Anthem, the light-hearted musician who seems to be holding a surprising secret, and even one of Jess’s nieces, who is looking for help only Jess can provide. 

One by one, they arrive at her door, filling the old beach house with mysteries, laughter and tears, and standing behind Jess as she moves forward in her new life.

The Steele women are so much stronger together, but under the crystal waters lie secrets about why Jess’s husband left her, as well as the truth about her own past. And if Jess and her family can’t face them, everything she’s built might vanish with the tide…

The Driftwood Key Beach Reads series is a family saga featuring determined women finding happiness in the pale sands and crystal blue surf of the Florida Keys.

Fate has decided that now is her time for a wild phoenix chase...

Preorder your copy of Defending the Phoenix Flame by Brenda Trim now!

 

 

Universal: https://geni.us/PhoenixFlame

 

The stakes are the highest they've ever been when fate decides now is the time for me to start a wild phoenix chase...

I'm still not sure I'm meant to be Relic Keeper but the work is never-ending. What's on the agenda now? A call for help from Phoebe that sends me and my trusty sidekicks into action. The Emberflare phoenix clan is missing a very important relic. And while the circumstances are mysterious at best and nefarious at worst, the most important thing is that we retrieve it. And this is no ordinary knick-knack. It's the Phoenix Flame itself!

So much for the safety and security of their entire clan.

As our mission takes us from the secretive phoenix clan lands, where every winged wonder seems to know everyone's business, to the chilly tundras that can freeze your magic socks off, I find myself talking icy creatures out of turning us into powerful popsicles each day. Then comes the twist we never saw coming.

False accusations, endless chaos, and enough mayhem to make any sane person go nuts follow us from one frozen realm to the next. Now it's obvious this artifact adventure isn't as straightforward as it seemed.

But how do we find out who is behind this whole mess before the relic falls into the wrong talons? One wrong move and we'll create a phoenix-sized catastrophe that will leave us all burning with regret!

When a ghost from the past shocks the clan, Leslie Beckett, guardian of the long-awaited prophecy, is left with no choice but to plot a way forward. Tyler Jackson becomes a welcome distraction, igniting feelings Leslie is unprepared for. Meanwhile, the rogue fae are quietly claiming the minds of loved ones in their own quest for the elusive prophecy. Readers who enjoy brother’s best friend and tortured heroes who fall first tropes will devour Taming Her Heart by Bree Westland, a steamy fated mates romance.

Blurb

Earning her place among them was the easy part.

Leslie Beckett had been the glue holding her family together since her mother disappeared not long after her birth. As a witch, a dragon shifter, and the only daughter in a household of male dragon shifters, she’d had to train harder. Be the best. She’d always crave the hunt. Yet the innate tug of magic made her feel most alive.

Tyler Jackson followed his sister to Rayner, leaving his career as a police officer on Earth behind. Ditching his ties to his undercover ops position proved more difficult though. So he put those skills to work when granted a spot on the alpha’s elite team. He was nothing if not ruthlessly efficient in his role.

When a ghost from the past shocks the clan, nothing is as it seems. As the guardian of the long awaited prophesy, Leslie plots a way forward. Tyler is a welcome distraction, igniting feelings Leslie is unprepared for. And he can’t get the wickedly talented, pretty princess out of his head.

Meanwhile, the rogue fae quietly claim the minds of loved ones in their own quest for the elusive prophesy. Can Leslie and Tyler’s growing bond prove stronger than the forces of fate uniting against them?

*Readers can expect healthy doses of hot shifters, naughty language, and intimate time with a fated mate, all wrapped up in a happily ever after. Can be read as a standalone romance but best enjoyed in the order written.

The futility of his statement hit him as their eyes met and held. Leslie would always be in danger. Instinctively he understood that. Her prophetic powers would only get stronger from here on out, ensuring that she’d be an ongoing target. He’d just have to make it his life’s work to keep her safe because he couldn’t imagine a world without her in it.

Undeniably Convenient by J. Saman 

"Undeniably Convenient turns temptation on it's heart and screams downright addictive.  Bennett and Katy are determined to cause sensory overload.....heart racing, unpredictable, irresistible, stick to the soul storytelling." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)

Release Date: April 29, 2024

Cover Design: Lori Jackson

A baby of convenience with my new boss? Not exactly what I had in mind when I decided I wanted to try to get pregnant.

But that’s exactly the situation I find myself in with Dr. Bennett Lawson.

The ridiculously gorgeous, broody billionaire I kissed years ago is asking to have a baby with me.

We both have our reasons for wanting this and with our ugly pasts, it’s an undeniably convenient arrangement.

No love. No relationship. Strictly business. 

Now I’m living with him and pretending every searing touch, whispered word, and moaned breath is all in the name of our contract and nothing more.

Even as it becomes harder to keep our hands to ourselves and our feelings separate.

But when that stick shines with two pink lines, we both know what we've grown addicted to has to stop.

Except what happens when everything starts to fall apart and what we promised would never happen becomes the one thing we can no longer live without?

SMALL TOWN SWOON (CHERRY TREE HARBOR) BY MELANIE HARLOW

 

"Harlow never misses when it comes to seduction. Small Town Swoon turns subtle romance into spicy temptation....Ari and Dash are completely endearing fun." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)

 

 

NARRATED BY ROCK ENGLE & SAMANTHA BRENTMOOR

 

 

 

ALSO AVAILABLE IN DIGITAL AND PAPERBACK

 

 

 

BLURB

 

Only in the movies does the Hollywood heartthrob fall for the small town diner waitress.

So when Dashiel Buckley returns to Cherry Tree Harbor for a wedding, I’m determined not to let my massive crush on my best friend’s older brother hijack my good sense.

(It happened once before. Do not recommend.)

But when my hand is injured, it’s Dash who steps in at the diner. The moment he realizes I can’t afford to fix my car, he takes care of it. And when he hears about the way my toxic ex treated me, he refuses to let it go.

Now it’s not just his blue eyes and sexy smile that have me swooning, it’s the way he wants to help me. Encourage me. Protect me.

I can’t resist.

Our text messages heat up. Our phone calls melt all my defenses. “Just friends” turns into “just once,” and “just once” becomes a distant memory. Night after night, he warms my bed, my body, and my heart.

But it can’t last.

Our dreams have us on two different paths–Dash wants the lights, camera, action of Hollywood, and I’ll always be a small town girl.

If only I could be his.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stardust gets in your eyes and grabs a hold of your heart. From the flirty to the funny, heartwarming to the heartbreaking, Harlow never misses when it comes to seduction. Small Town Swoon turns subtle romance into spicy temptation. Part fairytale romance, part over the top love story, Ari and Dash are completely endearing fun.

Single dad

Billionaire

Sexy beignet time

He falls first

No 3rd act breakup

 

 

 

 

 

Being a single dad while managing one of the biggest businesses in New Orleans keeps me very busy. Any free time I have I spend with my daughter, Bella — reading to her, styling her hair, or choosing nail polishes appropriate for an eight-year-old.

But I’m okay with that because she is my whole world.

After my divorce, I made myself a promise: I wouldn’t date until Bella was older. Then all my good intentions go up in smoke when I hire our newest chef for the flagship restaurant in the French Quarter. Scarlett Jones is unlike any woman I’d ever met. She’s smart and beautiful and I can’t get enough of her.

For more reasons than one, I need to keep my distance. So when I begin flirting… surprising her with beignets and coffee at break time, then king cake after hours, I know I’ve gone too far. And when I join Scarlett on a ridiculous haunted tour of the city, I’m certain I’ve lost my mind. She’s become my addiction. I want to explore those curves, find out her deepest desires—and make them come true.

 

But it’s when she offers to teach my daughter how to bake, I know I’m in wayyyyy over my head. When the three of us are together, I get a glimpse of the family we could be.

The question is, are we both ready to put our fears behind us?

 

And to think, it all started with a little flirt.

COVER REVEAL

USA Today bestselling author Adriana Locke delivers a spicy, age gap, grumpy sunshine, workplace romance in the first book in the brand new Landry Security series.

Troy Castelli acts like it’s my fault that we’re cooped up together in a room with one bed overlooking the ocean. I didn’t ask for a stalker to break into my house and then send me a threatening email detailing my demise. And I sure as heck didn’t request that my boss send Troy and his uber elite bodyguard skills to accompany me out of town—although I’m not mad about it.

A paid tropical vacation with a grumpy, gray-eyed bad boy in a suit isn’t exactly a burden.

But it is a giant test of my willpower.

Troy’s alpha protector tendencies drive me wild. His arrogant smirk gets under my skin. But it’s his not-so-innocent touches, heated looks and touch-her-and-die vibes that are the final strike that ignite our explosive chemistry.

The longer we’re together, the more his broody exterior slips, and I get a glimpse of the real man beneath the sculpted muscles. I’m determined not only to unearth his mysterious past but also to make him realize what we have is more than just a fling in paradise.

That is, unless my stalker gets me first.

"A little bit of spice has the right amount of humor to steal away with your heart." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)

There’s a thin line between love and hate. Good thing I have excellent balance.  

If only that was enough. 

Willa Hayes and I have a long history. We went from friends to enemies to frenemies…with benefits. The benefits part is our secret though.   

Not how I’d prefer it, but after what I did, I’m lucky she still talks to me at all.  

Our chemistry is undeniable. An addictive push and pull that has taken on a life of its own. One that fuels the long burning flame deep within me.  

None of our friends have any idea that she and I have been sneaking around for the better part of a decade. Neither does anyone else in our small Georgia town. And if word were to get out, that would be the end of us.   

That is, until Willa drops a bomb I never saw coming. It’s the last thing I expected – but also the perfect chance to show her who I really am. To be the man I wasn’t ten years ago. The man she deserves.  

This is our chance for a happy ending. It’s now or never. As long as I don’t screw it up again.

“So you’re single?”

“Are you seriously hitting on me right now while I have breastmilk all over my shirt?”

When Grant Thomas, the handsome stranger standing in front of me in line at the coffee shop, stripped his uniform shirt off and handed it to me, I could have sworn I was on an episode of Punked. Not only was the man Gabe Kapler’s doppelganger, but he was also a pilot and good with babies, which my six month-old daughter could attest to as she settled in his arms while I changed into his shirt, contemplating all of my life choices at that moment.

Being a single mom is a lot harder than I thought it would be, but that was the decision I made when I chose to have a child via sperm donor since I was tired of waiting on Mr. Right.

But suddenly, Mr. I’m-Too-Sexy-for-my-Shirt appears in my life—not only once, but twice—and has me wondering where the hell he’s been and why I didn’t meet him sooner?

Grant demonstrates time and again that he’s invested in me and my daughter, shows up for me when I need him the most, and makes my toes curl in a way I didn’t know was possible.

When the inkling that I’m missing something comes to fruition, there’s only one question I need to answer…

Will my heart end up broken like every time before, leaving me destined to be alone?

Or could our path to find one another prove that not everything happens as planned?

SMALL TOWN SWOON (CHERRY TREE HARBOR) BY MELANIE HARLOW

"Harlow never misses when it comes to seduction. Small Town Swoon turns subtle romance into spicy temptation....Ari and Dash are completely endearing fun." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)

BLURB

Only in the movies does the Hollywood heartthrob fall for the small town diner waitress.

So when Dashiel Buckley returns to Cherry Tree Harbor for a wedding, I’m determined not to let my massive crush on my best friend’s older brother hijack my good sense.

(It happened once before. Do not recommend.)

But when my hand is injured, it’s Dash who steps in at the diner. The moment he realizes I can’t afford to fix my car, he takes care of it. And when he hears about the way my toxic ex treated me, he refuses to let it go.

Now it’s not just his blue eyes and sexy smile that have me swooning, it’s the way he wants to help me. Encourage me. Protect me.

I can’t resist.

Our text messages heat up. Our phone calls melt all my defenses. “Just friends” turns into “just once,” and “just once” becomes a distant memory. Night after night, he warms my bed, my body, and my heart.

But it can’t last.

Our dreams have us on two different paths–Dash wants the lights, camera, action of Hollywood, and I’ll always be a small town girl.

If only I could be his.

WRIGHT TOGETHER (WRIGHT VINEYARD) BY K.A. LINDE

Release Date: November 28, 2023

"Fire and ice collides with explosive results.  Linde puts the senses on blast before she sets about seducing the heart. A can't put down showstopper." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)

A sexy opposites attract romance set in the Wright world about Whitton & Eve from USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde.

Whitton Wright is too good to be true.

And I learned long ago that things that are too good to be true…usually are.

When he danced into my life, I accepted that this wasn’t going anywhere. He’s tall as sin with a tailored suit on his immaculate body, and full of charm, saying just the right thing to get me to melt. There’s no way that he could be real.

Not for a girl like me.

In Lubbock, Texas, Wrights are royalty. Even the illegitimate son of an exiled Wright is treated like a king. Especially when Whitt falls right into place in a job he was born for.

The only thing I was born into was a double wide and a life of good-byes.

Which is how I know he’ll be the same as all the others.

Until he isn’t.

Until he saves me.

And I start to wonder if maybe too good to be true isn’t a lie.

But my downfall nonetheless…

"....organically endearing, slow burn, big heart romance. A flavorful heartbreaker that has addictive written all over it." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)

 

 

Reese Maxwell meets her happy never matter in Layla Hagenpa latest. What starts as a pretend romance soon turns into so much more ....

Newly divorced Dominic Waldorf is the most coveted bachelor in Chicago. At least, that's what he thinks. I'd describe him as more of a Neanderthal with a really nice backside.

When I accidentally spill champagne on him at a charity event, he accuses me of hitting on him. Then later, I run into him in an empty coat room, and he's convinced.

The truth is even more embarrassing.

I'm hiding from my ex-fiancé, who showed up with his new wife—my former best friend. I try to hold it together, but instead spill my guts to this handsome stranger.

Dom surprises me by suggesting an agreement: we pretend to date. I get to rub it in my ex's face and he appears off the 'market'. You scratch my back—I scratch yours, that sort of thing.

Dom is an excellent fake boyfriend. He's protective and caring, and even gives me a smoking hot kiss.

Then things get complicated. The charity has another event for us to attend —out of town, and overnight.

Between late night confessions and three more smoking hot kisses—not that I'm counting—I start wondering if he's really faking everything.

I'm certainly way past pretending.

Soon after, Dom admits that he wants to date me… me, Reese Maxwell, for real!

But my heart isn't allowed to make any decisions anymore.

Except ­— maybe — this one last time…
