To find Aileen, he’s fully prepared to use force, until an unexpected encounter has him rethinking his tactics. Shayma, his friend Daveed’s former fiancée, is sexy as hell, and something about her soothes his wayward soul. The brunette bombshell claims she can help, but Murph’s never been known for his patience. The clock is ticking, and he isn’t sure Shayma won’t get in the way of doing what he needs to do.
After ending her engagement to the man chosen by her father, Shayma bint Amr Kahlan has been enjoying the sights of New York City…and her ex’s best friend Murphy. The menacing military man has the dark, brooding thing down, but Shayma is certain his temper will lead to trouble—trouble his friends don’t want him in. When Daveed offers to promote her father if she can keep Murph in check while he and Heath secretly search for Aileen, Shayma sees a chance to help…and get back in her father’s good graces. She’s happy to prevent Murphy from getting out of hand. Besides, sometimes it takes a softer touch to get what you want.
Shayma and Murphy’s chemistry may be undeniable, but as the stakes get higher, can Murphy open himself up to love? Or will he be forced to choose between Shayma and finding his sister?

A SEAL for Christmas by Leslie North
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Murph is a man with many talents. Perhaps that's what makes him complicated and fascinating at the same time. There's the devoted brother intent on finding his missing sister. The caring friend, who is always on call no matter the circumstance. The Seal, who can outsmart and with lethal force bring down his target. Lastly, there's Murphy, the man wallowing through a ton of emotional baggage and a tempting attraction that is leading down the road to collateral damage. Ms. North doesn't make it easy. Murph walks a fine line between fearless, endearing and jack - ***, but even at his most frustrating he's hard not to love. Shayma never knew what hit her, once she met the powerful force that is Murphy Coen.

TAGGED HEART BY TASHA FAWKES AND M.S. PARKER
Release Date: December 11, 2017
SYNOPSIS
Chad
High speed. High stakes. I'm all about living on the edge.
Skydiving, cliff jumping, extreme water sports . . . you name it and I've done it. Just ask any one of my millions of Youtube fans. I get paid to travel the world with my model girlfriend Lori. Yeah, you heard right. Dream job? Hell yes.
But keeping my demanding tribe of followers happy ain't easy. Admittedly it helps when you're pulling in seven figures. But the money doesn't come close to the rush of watching one of your videos go viral. It's what yanks me out of bed to check my latest view count . . . and gives me sleepless nights.
Getting dumped by Lori was not part of the plan. Although we've always had a love-hate thing going on for the fans, deep down I'm stuck on her being the one. Winning her back is my priority but I need to act fast to limit the damage. That's why I'm doing the rounds in Vegas. If there's one thing Lori couldn't stand was me being around other women.
Watching Brin perform on stage brings a silly grin to my face. She's got all the attributes I'm looking for . . . in a fake girlfriend.
Brin
Don't let the seductive smiles fool you. Working the Las Vegas strip ages your soul. No one plans to get into this life but with my modeling career going nowhere fast it's what I do to pay the bills.
Just so we're clear. I'm not one of those girls. I know where I draw the line. And that means dancing only and no funny business with my clients. It also means fewer tips but at least I get to stay sane and sleep at night.
I never asked Chad Harlan why he chose me. I guess I was afraid he'd change his mind. But there's just one tiny little snag -- I need to pretend to be his girlfriend. Is that weird? Maybe. But right now weird seems like a really small price to pay for an all-expenses paid trip to Hawaii. Judge me all you like. I REALLY need this vacation.
I did NOT expect the first videos to go viral. Or the comments saying we make a cute couple. There's no denying how turned on I am every time I see him without a shirt on. But I promised myself I'd keep this professional . . . which is not so simple though when your body is urging you to break all the rules.

Tagged Heart by Tasha Fawkes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Perfection has it's flaws. Chad is a playboy, Youtube, hyperactive, adrenaline rush addict. AND I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT! Brin is no damsel in distress. She tells it like it is. Though her dreams have not turned out the way she hoped, her spirit has yet to be broken. I enjoy stories with complicated characters and Tagged Heart is a paradox that seduces the mind first and then works at claiming the heart. The best surprises in life are far from perfect, but worth the trip it takes to get there.

Release Date: December 12, 2017
SYNOPSIS
There are three things Ford Garrison wants more than anything: to build, to report to no one, and the chance to live his life without the prying eyes of the good folks of Eagle’s Ridge. Having spent ten years in the Navy as part of their construction battalion, he was able to live out most of that dream. Two out three wasn’t bad, right? Now that he’s out of the service, things aren’t falling into place quite as easily as he hoped and he ends up back home with all eyes on him.
It wasn’t as if Callie had gone out of her way to end up in Ford’s path, but somehow that happened all on its own and the town gossips were having a field day! Could she help it that she was living in the house Ford had hoped to claim as his own or that the work on his grandmother’s ranch meant they were living not fifty-feet away from each other?
Ford was determined to come home, do a job to help his grandmother and leave. Callie James is a distraction and she represents everything he has spent years running away from. Now he’s at odds with his friends, his family and himself about where his home and future are going to be.
Could he walk away from Eagle’s Ridge a second time?

Ford by Samantha Chase
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Samantha Chase continues to showcase what a treasure she really is. Ford is realistic, simplistic and complicated. It's amazing that a subject that is so simple can breed so many complicated emotions. Ford has spent his life running. From home, from responsibility and mostly from himself. Callie has spent her life wishing for a place to belong to. A home of her own, people who love her and a life that makes her happy. Ironic isn't it that both were searching for the same thing. Acceptance. A place to belong. A sense of security. Each was searching for something they always had, but failed to realize. A HOME. Ford is an epiphany moment. The manifestation of something special and the realization of something wonderful.

Release Date: December 12, 2017
SYNOPSIS
Some jobs come with unexpected benefits . . .
Alyssa runs her personal life just like her professional one: smoothly and efficiently. She learned in the worst way possible that investing her heart in a relationship only leads to disaster, and she won’t take that risk again. Pleasure is still on the table though—as long as there are no feelings involved. Until a one-night stand leaves a lasting impression.
When after-work drinks lead to an after-hours hookup, Grayson finds himself playing by Alyssa’s rules—but she leaves him wanting more. Even when they discover they work for the same company, Alyssa is all business—on the outside, at least. As far as she’s concerned, keeping Grayson at a safe distance is now part of her job description, even if it’s her most challenging task. But when her living situation falls apart, Grayson makes her an offer she can’t refuse . . .
The terms of their new merger are strict: roommates only; hands off. But every contract can be broken—and every heart can be melted—if the deal is sweet enough . . .

The Formidable King by Alyssa J. Montgomery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
When you think Cinderella normally there is no beast. There's just a tale of instant love, enduring devotion and hopefully, happily ever after. The Formidable King changes that up a bit. Ms. Montgomery blends some beastly behavior with the innocuous hopes of a dreamer and creates a modern tale that will surely stand the test of time. India is no Cinderella. She's made her mistakes, but has worked to move beyond them by making a difference in the world. Her charity work has landed her at the mercy of a man tortured by his lot in life. His princely responsibilities, his past transgressions and an attraction that goes against every promise he's made to himself. Just when all hope is gone of a chance at happiness for India and Gabe, a surprising twist takes center stage. Royalty does not always breed a fairy tale, but it's nice to imagine the dream.

The V Card by Lauren Blakely
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The V Card is a bit of a new direction for Lauren Blakely. The beauty of her characters is that they take pride in being bold. Her stories hold nothing back and that makes for humorously entertaining temptation. This time around there are elements of a vulnerability that is refreshing. At the core of the relationship between CJ and Graham is a friendship that has withstood teenage crushes, heartbreaking tragedy and growing into adulthood. The bond they share is much stronger than lust and is an ever evolving story that morphs into love. The boldness and humor are still there, just softened by the breathtaking emotions that drive this relationship from friendship to romance. Blakely and Valente work well together.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author, Victoria Alexander, comes a romantic Christmas historical—which features the happily ever after story of a fan favorite—and how one little impetuous moment can lead to the miracle of love!
My friends have always considered me the most proper among us. But no one was more surprised than I, Portia, Lady Redwell, when I decided to flee the matchmaking efforts of my family to spend Christmas in an enchanting villa on the coast of Italy. My admittedly impulsive plans were immediately complicated by the presence of a certain gentleman, Mr. Fletcher Jamison, who insisted he had a claim on the villa. It was only in the true spirit of Christmas that I agreed to share the villa with him. His charm, his blue eyes as dark as the December seas, and the laugh that oddly seemed to fill my soul were not considerations.
That I returned again for Christmas is due entirely to the charm of the villa, and nothing at all to do with the fact that he too would be there.
My friend Veronica has often said those least likely to bend are most likely to snap.
It appears I have snapped…

BARREL PROOF (BOURBONLAND) BY JENNIFER BRAMSETH
Release Date: December 15, 2017
SYNOPSIS
So much for staying away from each other.
When Coraleigh Boyle seeks out Clay London to beg him to help her to stop the destruction of a Civil War battlefield, she gets the reaction she expected. A gentle but decisive rebuff. Not to mention a painful reminder of her broken heart.
But she’s not the only one trying to stop the destruction. The denizens of Craig County are plotting and planning to save the site as well.
Yet there is an unexpected, unknown hero. One that Coraleigh discovers only after a chance encounter with residents of Bourbon Springs who take a rare tour of her historic estate, Traveler’s Rest.
Coraleigh’s guests remind her that the strength and proof of one’s character is discerned in the smallest of ways. Especially when one tries to hide one’s true nature.
Barrel Proof , a 17,000-word short story, is the fourth work in the Bourbonland Short Stories and Novellas series. It takes place during Where the Fire Is Hottest , Bourbonland Book 3.

Barrel Proof: Bourbonland Short Stories and Novellas #4 by Jennifer Bramseth
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Barrel Proof is a guide to all things happening in the land of Bourbon. There is a twofold purpose to the novella. A chance to catch up with characters past and a foothold into characters we have yet to meet. Barrel Proof is a story within a story. Ms. Bramseth, takes us back to tie up loose ends. A historic monument, feuding adversaries and a fiery attraction sets about seducing readers. Past, present and future collide in a big way. Epic drama in a tiny package.
