After unexpectedly inheriting a bookstore, Nora and her younger sister settled in Holly, NC, a place where it’s Christmas year-round.

REVIEW:  THE STUBBORN BILLIONAIRE  (THE MUSE) BY LEXXIE COUPER

 

The Stubborn Billionaire (The Muse #1)The Stubborn Billionaire by Lexxie Couper

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Ms. Couper pulled a fast one. I went into this story knowing that I was going to dislike James and I came out even more intrigued by him. That are various layers to both James and Sienna that are hard to endure but kept me enraptured all the same. What neither understands is there is no black and white when it comes to the heart. That gray area almost always wins. The Stubborn Billionaire is a complex story that begins with revenge and ends with love.

WICKED IN HIS ARMS (WEDDED BY SCANDAL) BY STACY REID

 

 

Release Date:  January 23, 2017

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Tobias Walcott, the Earl of Blade, has learned it is best to exercise rigid control over his passions and emotions in all that he does. Uncaring that it makes him seem cool and aloof to most in the ton, he is content with his desire to only woo agreeable and demur females. Then unforeseen circumstances see him trapped in a closet at a house party with the last woman he would ever make his countess.

Lady Olivia Sherwood is everything he should not desire in a female—unconventional, too decisive, and utterly without decorum. But passion ignites between them and they are discovered. Honor demands they wed, and while Tobias finds himself unwillingly drawn to the bewitching beauty, he must do everything not to tempt the passion that burns in him for her, lest it leads to disastrous consequences.

REVIEW:  WICKED IN HIS ARMS (WEDDED BY SCANDAL) BY STACY REID

 

Wicked in His Arms (Wedded by Scandal #2)Wicked in His Arms by Stacy Reid

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Wicked in His Arms is a Stacy Reid classic. In the way that only she can she gets her point across while staying true to her style. The message is clear. The story is engaging and the characters are unconventional to say the least. Of course there's scandal but there is also a lesson wrapped up in a tight little bow throughout the pages of Tobias' and Olivia's tumultuous courtship. "Be true to yourself and the rest will fall into place."

ROYAL SCANDAL (ROYALS IN EXILE) BY MARQUITA VALENTINE

 

 

 

Release Date:  January 24, 2017

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Fairy tales do come true—and so do tabloid scandals! Bestselling author Marquita Valentine kicks off a juicy contemporary romance series with a novel about a prince whose best-laid plans go deliciously awry when he marries the maid next door.

Forced to flee to the United States with his siblings after their parents’ assassination, Crown Prince Colin Sinclair takes it upon himself to become the caretaker of his family while hiding out near Charlotte, North Carolina. But after a decade in hiding, the secret’s out and Parliament demands that Colin wed a princess of their choosing. Unwilling to play their game, Colin decides to marry an American instead, and he has the perfect candidate in mind.

As a home-service professional, Della Hughes doesn’t believe in storybook endings. But when her best friend and secret crush reveals that he’s a flesh-and-blood prince, she doesn’t know what to think. Still, she’ll do anything for Colin, including becoming his wife—in name only, of course. But when their plans to stay purely platonic go by the wayside, their fake honeymoon turns all too real. After a week of white-hot nights, Della can no longer deny her feelings—not with a happily ever after so tantalizingly close.

REVIEW: ROYAL SCANDAL (ROYALS IN EXILE) BY MARQUITA VALENTINE

 

Royal Scandal (Royals in Exile, #1)Royal Scandal by Marquita Valentine

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


From the moment I learned about the exiled royals it was a given that I would read the series. The little girl within me was drawn in by the fairytale of it all. Royal Scandal delivers revelations that are explosive, conspiracies riddled with confusion and sassy characters that are as complex as the situation they face, but it lived up to being a good story. Life is not a fairytale but it's fun to escape into one every now and again. With Royal Scandal, Ms. Valentine makes that dream possible.

REVIEW:  ACCIDENTALLY ON PURPOSE (HEARTBREAKER BAY) BY JILL SHALVIS

 

Accidentally on Purpose (Heartbreaker Bay, #3)Accidentally on Purpose by Jill Shalvis

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


The overprotective rebel, afraid to let anyone close. The spirited smart mouth wIth a chip on her shoulder and a wound in her heart. Archer held his own but Elle stole the show. She refused to be ruled by the pain of her pass and that laser sharp tongue could knock a man on his ***. The tough exterior hides vulnerability but the way she handles herself shows the strength of who she is. Archer is brash, sexy and hard on the outside but behind that resides a man with his own demons to hide. At the heart of Accidentally on Purpose is a bond formed from darkness that blossoms into a blinding light. Not everyone sets out to find love, sometimes it has a way of sneaking up on you. With laughter, realism and an abundance of passion, Ms. Shalvis does what does best: GETS A REACTION.

Under Pressure (Body Armor #1)Under Pressure by Lori Foster

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Under Pressure can embed itself so deeply under the skin, that the reader becomes a part of the action. There were moments where Catalina and Leese stole my breath. The maze of twists and turns were endless but beyond all the adrenaline was an intriguing story worth sinking my teeth into. Hard to let go in the end.

HGTV’s Property Brothers meets The Marriage Bargain in this second volume in the Billionaire Builders series, an all-new heart-wrenching and sexy contemporary romance from New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst.

When she was a teen, Raven Bella Stratton’s father was killed in a horrible car crash. The bigger shock was the discovery of a woman with him—Diana Pierce—and their two fully packed suitcases with airline tickets to Paris. Devastated by her father’s betrayal, Raven went to live with her aunt, never truly overcoming the traumatic event. When she discovers that the mysterious woman had a family with a husband and three boys, Raven vows to leave the memory of her father behind.

Until Dalton Pierce visits one night and suddenly her past challenges her future...

Leaving his life in California behind to run Pierce Construction with his two older brothers, Dalton Pierce has enjoyed returning home and studying his passion of woodworking. But when he visits the local bar with his brothers one evening, he’s immediately drawn to the smart-mouthed, badass, sexy bartender who sets his body on fire. Unfortunately, she doesn’t seem as intrigued by him, and his multiple advances are met with rejection. When he offers to restore the bar back to its original glory, he begins to work with her on a daily basis, and falls harder. His plan of seduction slowly weaves a web around them both, until they are caught up in the spell. But Dalton doesn’t know the secret that can either destroy them both...or finally mend two broken hearts.

Any Time, Any Place (Billionaire Builders, #2)Any Time, Any Place by Jennifer Probst

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A complicated trek delivers a bigger reward. I can think of no better words to describe Dalton and Raven. Any Time, Any Place is an ode to heartbreak that blossoms into a melodic symphony of healing. The road is tedious and the secrets are abundant but Ms. Probst gives a bountiful beauty to a sometimes tragic aria. Dalton has magic in his hands and hope in his heart. His restoration skills are legendary. Inspired by the past he thrives on rebuilding the broken, making old like new. Raven is a project on the mend. Past betrayal has led her to close herself off as she works to move on with her life. Beauty draws him in but can love make him whole? Or will the past destroy his chance at a future? Jennifer Probst took a soap opera and made it into a modern fairytale.

REVIEW:  THE UNMASKED CEO (CAPTURED BY LOVE) BY MIRANDA P. CHARLES

 

The Unmasked CEO (Captured by Love, #7)The Unmasked CEO by Miranda P. Charles

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


She's in over her head. He's on the verge of losing his heart. The Unmasked CEO stays true to form with a little bit of mystery, some big whopper secrets and a whole lot of sauce. Simon is a man of mystery that can steal a heart as quickly as he can break it. Geri is a woman on the run. Danger is the name of the game but a lot more is on the line than her heart. Ms. Charles heroes are easy to fall for but the risk of doing so is half the fun. Finding their perfect match is better than all the bad boys in the world. High stakes, a love match make. I'm lovin it!!

THE ROOM MATE (ROOMMATES) BY KENDALL RYAN

 

 

Release Date:  January 24, 2017

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

The last time I saw my best friend’s younger brother, he was a geek wearing braces. But when Cannon shows up to crash in my spare room, I get a swift reality check.

Now twenty-four, he’s broad shouldered and masculine, and so sinfully sexy, I want to climb him like the jungle gyms we used to enjoy. At six-foot-something with lean muscles hiding under his T-shirt, a deep sexy voice, and full lips that pull into a smirk when he studies me, he’s pure temptation.

Fresh out of a messy breakup, he doesn’t want any entanglements. But I can resist, right?

I’m holding strong until the third night of our new arrangement when we get drunk and he confesses his biggest secret of all: he’s cursed when it comes to sex. Apparently he’s a god in bed, and women instantly fall in love with him.

I’m calling bullshit. In fact, I’m going to prove him wrong, and if I rack up a few much-needed orgasms in the process, all the better.

There’s no way I’m going to fall in love with Cannon. But once we start…I realize betting against him may have been the biggest mistake of my life.

THE ROOM MATE is a full-length standalone romance.

REVIEW: THE ROOM MATE (ROOMMATES) BY KENDALL RYAN

 

The Room Mate (Roommates, #1)The Room Mate by Kendall Ryan

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Cannon has a dirty mouth, a filthy mind and an awesome bedside manner. The perfect guy right? If he can get his mind out of the gutter and focus on the things that matter. The Room Mate is a hot commodity. Kendall Ryan can steam it up with the best of them, but still create a story that blends humour, with real issues and sassy delivery. When the tempting bad boy becomes the tempted, all bets are off. Paige and Cannon are about to get schooled and the lessons are unlike any they've learned before. Bring on the water because this crazy pair serves up some serious spice.

STAYING FOR GOOD (MOST LIKELY TO) BY CATHERINE BYBEE

 

 

Release Date:  January 24, 2017

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Zoe Brown may have been voted Most Likely to Never Leave River Bend, but the paper-thin walls and suffocating air of her family’s double-wide trailer were not what she wanted for her life. Other than BFFs Melanie and Jo, the only thing that kept Zoe sane during high school was her boyfriend, Luke.

She didn’t just leave, she escaped—turning her back on the shame of her black-sheep siblings and imprisoned dad. Now a celebrity chef in Dallas, she can afford all the things she never could have growing up. But when she returns to rustic, ruggedly beautiful River Bend, Zoe has to face all that she abandoned—including Luke.

While Luke was a refuge for Zoe in the past, he knows they inhabit totally different worlds now. Anchored by his parents and his job as a mechanic in his father’s shop, Luke never felt the urge to leave River Bend—until Zoe’s return.

But when the two rekindle their old flame, Zoe is forced to make the hardest decision of her life: remain in River Bend and confront her past before it destroys her, or say good-bye to everyone she’s ever loved…again, this time for good.

SYNOPSIS

 

A reckless romance brings Diana Prescott to Gull Harbor. Pride makes her stay but locks her heart tight. Then she meets Will Applegate. Too sexy, too perfect and way too good for Diana, given her history. But what woman can turn down an ice cream tour of southern Michigan?

Of course, Will hangs around, wanting more than a dance. Her resolve melts under the heat of his blue eyes, warmer than a July beach day.

Turns out Diana and Will are good together, like turkey and cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and gravy...until an accident robs her of the one thing her missing mother left behind. Her delicate blonde beauty. She shuts down and Will is at a loss. Not a good time for his sister to dump a surly niece on him. But Diana recognizes teen-age abandonment. She steps up to help with resources honed by experience. Love is more than surface deep ... a lesson Will and Diana might learn together.

Will is the angel that helped to guide her to the family she was meant to belong to. Theirs. In His Eyes left me speechless. Enough said.
