FORD (7 BRIDES FOR 7 SOLDIERS) BY SAMANTHA CHASE
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?

REVIEW: FORD (7 BRIDES FOR 7 SOLDIERS) BY SAMANTHA CHASE
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 . . .

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Desires of A Duke unites some of the best authors in historical romance. It's sexy, adventurous, intriguing and exotic. Get ready to laugh, cry, and fall in love.
The Forbidden Duke is a lesson in redemption, forgiveness and trust. People find it so easy to judge others but take offense when on the receiving end. An inspiring message in a heartwarming package. (5 Stars)
The Duke's Accidental Wife - A cynic and a romantic, how could you not fall for these characters. Erica Ridley has turned the tables on the way romance is perceived with this one. Ravenwood is the ideal. A romantic at heart searching for the other half of his soul. I love that Ms. Ridley tried something different. She stayed true to her addictive stories but with a twist that was surprising and fantastic. (5 Stars)
The Misfortune of Lady Lucianna - Christina McKnight doesn't write victims, she creates heroines. Her female leads are spirited individuals with the brains to fight for themselves instead of playing the damsel in distress.

New Year's at the Graff by Marin Thomas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A string of coincidences lays the groundwork for a happily ever after. New Year's at the Graff is a story of small town living, family, and new beginnings. City slicker Lucas hits small town Marrietta with an agenda. Plans change when his heart becomes tied up in a feisty country girl and her equally adorable daughter. Ava is a woman on a mission to follow her dreams and help others in the process. When a handsome stranger and a New Year's kiss disrupt her life, will she have the strength to risk her heart and dreams for a big city man? My favorite reads are small town stories. What may seem complicated, can often be simple and the helping hands and family atmosphere speak to the sentimental aspect of my personality.

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.

REVIEW: ONLY YOU (THE BROOKLYN BROTHERHOOD) BY ADDISON FOX
Only You by Addison Fox
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The one constant in an Addison Fox story is that there will be conflict. This is an author that thrives on creating characters that have an inspiring tale of uniqueness and courage that will grab the heart in a choke hold rather quickly. Only You paints a picture that will never be museum worthy but is a colorful blend of pain and light. Pain is a universal language that the whole world speaks, hope is not as widespread but has definitely left it's mark. Fender and Harlow are proof that, love is a powerful force that can help us weather the obstacles of life.

SYNOPSIS
A brand new sinfully sexy standalone romantic comedy from bestselling authors Lauren Blakely and Lili Valente!

And yet I'm still a card-carrying member of a club I don't want to belong to anymore. Good thing I know just the man for the deflowering job—my brother’s business partner and best friend.
Graham Campbell is charming, smart, and, I’m told, oh-so-skilled in the sack. As long as I keep my eyes on the prize, there’s no way this pluck-the-flower project could possibly complicate matters.

REVIEW: THE V CARD BY LAUREN BLAKELY AND LILI VALENTE
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.

SAME TIME, NEXT CHRISTMAS (MISTRESS TRIO) BY VICTORIA ALEXANDER
Release Date: December 13, 2017
SYNOPSIS
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…

SO OVER YOU (CHICAGO REBELS) BY KATE MEADER
Release Date: December 4, 2017
SYNOPSIS
Three estranged sisters struggle to sustain their late father’s failing hockey franchise in Kate Meader’s sizzling Chicago Rebels series. In this second entry, middle sister Isobel is at a crossroads in her personal and professional lives. But both are about to get a significant boost with the addition of a domineering Russian powerhouse to the Rebels....
Isobel Chase knows hockey. She played NCAA, won Olympic silver, and made it thirty-seven minutes into the new National Women’s Hockey League before an injury sidelined her dreams. Those who can’t, coach, and a position as a skating consultant to her late father’s hockey franchise, the Chicago Rebels, seems like a perfect fit. Until she’s assigned her first job: the man who skated into her heart as a teen and relieved her of her pesky virginity. These days, left-winger Vadim Petrov is known as the Czar of Pleasure, a magnet for puck bunnies and the tabloids alike. But back then... let’s just say his inability to sink the puck left Isobel frustratingly scoreless.
Vadim has a first name that means “ruler,” and it doesn’t stop at his birth certificate. He dominates on the ice, the practice rink, and in the backseat of a limo. But a knee injury has produced a bad year, and bad years in the NHL don’t go unrewarded. His penance? To be traded to a troubled team where his personal coach is Isobel Chase, the woman who drove him wild years ago when they were hormonal teens. But apparently the feeling was not entirely mutual.
That Vadim might have failed to give Isobel the pleasure that was her right is intolerable, and he plans to make it up to her—one bone-melting orgasm at a time. After all, no player can perfect his game without a helluva lot of practice...

REVIEW: SO OVER YOU (CHICAGO REBELS) BY KATE MEADER
So Over You by Kate Meader
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
So Over You is a beast. It continues the legacy of epic love and hard hitting characters that Kate Meader is known for. Isobel is a woman a chip on her shoulder, a lot to prove and the spirit to back it up. A fighter of the highest order, I love that she continues to be the fighter she was meant to be despite, life's hard knocks. The girl with a dream is intent on making the goal in a male dominated sport. Nothing can stop this champion from striking gold. Not even an egotistical, tempting and frustrating blast from her past. When the chips are down, this is a fight to the finish that could result in the ultimate score for both teams. It's characters like Isobel that gives women the strength to follow their heart and that is a legacy to be proud of.

MR. ALL WRONG BY R.C. STEPHENS
Release Date: December 4, 2017
SYNOPSIS
Sweet Contemporary Romance coming December 4th 2017!
The first time I met Evie Harper, she threw a cream pie at my face. I actually hadn’t met her, just saw her. It was more like she hated everything I stood for and showed me her opinion with an airborne cream pie. Yes, she smacked me front and center on my face. The second time I saw Evie, I didn’t realize she was the cream-pie-throwing bandit, and she took my breath away in a flowing red gown at a gala.
Of course I couldn’t resist her looks, so I asked her to dance. She called me a schmuck and stalked off.
My own Cinderella ran away from me. I shouldn’t have chased her down. We were all wrong for each other. But her fire red hair and feisty personality reeled me in, and I was hooked. Chicago’s most renowned playboy was finally falling head over loafers. At least it felt that way because she was like no other woman I’d met before . . . Evie was special . . .
Problem was I had trust issues when it came to women. Freud would’ve probably said it was my mother’s doing. Somehow Evie made me believe in her . . . trust her . . .
Big damn mistake!
One I hope I won’t live to regret . . .
But then again how could someone so wrong for me turn out to be so damn perfect?

Except when the plan takes a backseat to the heart he's ignored for so long. All it took was a misplaced pie, a spirited adversary and the courage to follow his heart.

Release Date: December 4, 2017
SYNOPSIS
If you can’t get to the Big O, can you get to the happily ever after?
Jera McKnight loves music, swoons for hot guys, but sucks at sex. Jacob Tate is her perfect storm: a pun-loving nude model with a heart as big as his record collection.
When a newspaper-delivery accident lands him in her living room, he’s almost tempting enough to make her forget she’s never been able to please a man—in bed or out of it. Sure, he laughs at her obscure jokes, and he’ll even accept a PG-rating if it means he gets time with her, but he’s also hiding something. And it has everything to do with the off-limits room in his apartment.
Jera pours all her confusion and longing into her drum kit, which pays off when her band lands the record deal of their dreams. Except just like Jacob, it might be too good to come without a catch.
She doesn’t know if her music is good enough to attract a better contract, or if she’s enough to tempt a man like Jacob to give up his secrets, even if they could fix her problems between the sheets. But if this rocker girl is too afraid to bet on herself, she might just end up playing to an empty house.
Fans of Alice Clayton’s Wallbanger or Kylie Scott will love this addictive new series because of its quick sense of humor and adorable found family. Click now if you want to instantly escape into the world of Jera and Jacob’s romance.

SYNOPSIS
Love only works when your heart is in the right place. Hers could be right next door…

NO RESERVATIONS:A FUSION NOVELLA (1001 DARK NIGHTS) BY KRISTEN PROBY
Release Date: December 5, 2017
SYNOPSIS
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Proby comes a new story in her Fusion series…
Chase MacKenzie is not the man for Maura Jenkins. A self-proclaimed life-long bachelor, and unapologetic about his distaste for monogamy, a woman would have to be a masochist to want to fall into Chase’s bed.
And Maura is no masochist.
Chase has one strict rule: no strings attached. Which is fine with Maura because she doesn’t even really like Chase. He’s arrogant, cocky, and let’s not forget bossy. But when he aims that crooked grin at her, she goes weak in the knees. Not that she has any intentions of falling for his charms.
Definitely not.
Well, maybe just once…
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

REVIEW: NO RESERVATIONS: A FUSION NOVELLA (1001 DARK NIGHTS) BY KRISTEN PROBY
No Reservations by Kristen Proby
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
There are few authors like Kristen Proby. With just one line, she can steal your heart, breath and leave you speechless all while stirring up the most unexpected of emotions. From laughter to tears she keeps readers guessing with her stories of friendship, seduction and romance. No Reservations keeps to that winning formula. Chase is a straight forward pain in the *** with an eye for the ladies and a distaste for relationships. Maura has no interest in the window dressing that is Chase. He's full of hot air and not much else in her opinion. If only her body would listen to her mind and not let her heart enter the equation. No Reservations is not very original, but it makes up for that with great characters, humorous dialogue and tempting scenarios. Proby and perfect go hand in hand.

Strength lies in allowing ourselves to be vulnerable. There in lies the beauty of The Original Heartbreakers. These towering pillars of testosterone know what it means to protect the weak, but do they understand what it means to risk their hearts. Can't Get Enough is more than just a playboy bachelor with a grudge. Lyndie and Brock's battle is in finding the courage to face life's heartaches with courage and hope. In that aspect Lyndie has more strength in her little figure, than Brock has trust in his heart. Getting lost in Ms. Showalter's stories is never a problem. In the end the cause justifies the means.

To the Duke, with Love by Amelia Grey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Why are we at our best, when we are acting at our worst? Perhaps it's the thrill of the challenge. A knee jerk reaction to insecurity. Or maybe, we long to be accepted for who we really are and not who others want us to be. My favorite characters are ones that challenge my mind while conversing with my heart. Those are the one's that leave a lasting impressing on the soul. To the Duke, With Love is what a love story should be. Not perfect, but true. Sloane and Loretta believe that they are unworthy of love, but long to help the people they care about find happiness. Ms. Grey has penned an insightful tale of sacrifice, love and happy endings. It takes a while to get there, but the trek is worth the wait.

A no-pressure competition where I can show off my snowboard-X skills and time to party guilt-free? Talk about my ideal trip. But when I find out my old friend and partner Elle Ball is staying in the Village too, everything else becomes so shallow. After all, she’s the woman I’ve measured all others against. Now that she’s back in my life for such a short time, am I even good enough to move past “just friends”?
I love her passion and tenacity. She’s everything I’m not. After a terrible moment at the opening ceremonies and her own brush with death, she starts to think some of these “accidents” don’t seem so accidental. When Elle sets her mind to something, all I can do is help and try to hang on. Maybe then I can prove my worth.

This competition will land me a spot in the US Olympic Figure Skating team for sure. All I have to do is keep my head down and eye on the prize. It would’ve been easy if it weren’t for Ethan McNally.
The last time I saw him, he was a gangly kid… and one of my best friends. Now he’s a major hunk and that poses a huge distraction. So why can’t I stop thinking about him?
I’m surprised to find help and support from new friends as I dive into the strange events going on behind the scenes. As I unravel a vast conspiracy, I can’t help but wonder about my reunion with Ethan. Is he all that he seems or is he saying things I want to hear? Or, like this the Unity Games, were we doomed from the start?

REVIEW: BRONZE (DANGEROUS GAMES) BY ADELE HUXLEY
Bronze by Adele Huxley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Adele Huxley is new to my canvas of authors and based on Bronze is ready to go the distance. As a teen I was a huge Nancy Drew fan and Bronze takes me back to my days of teen angst and realistically shallow suspense. Ms. Huxley brings some of the lightness back to a genre that can be at times a bit too dark. Bronze is the first novel in the Dangerous Games series. What an introduction. Ethan and Elle are at their best when the shields come down and their hearts are on the line. In a world of competitors, renewed friendships and hidden agendas, danger is always waiting to pop out and surprise.

Somebody To Love by Wendy Vella
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
My familiarity with Ms. Vella's historical works made me a bit apprehensive about her contemporary works. In my mind I thought separating regency from modern day would prove difficult, but Somebody to Love was a pleasant surprise. In fact I think I love her contemporary work more. When the teenage bad boy matures into the man with a plan, the once stable footing of young love becomes topsy turvy. Can the girl that lost her way, find home in the arms of her first love? Bailey and Joe are true to live examples of sentiment and second chance. A poem composed with the heart as it's captive audience.

SYNOPSIS
** Due for publication 8th December.
She’s a princess of the tabloid press, and she’s about to get a lesson in minding her manners.
From me.
Kidnapping a spoiled heiress isn’t my dream mission, but when my boss orders me to steal Paige Monroe and take her deep into the mountains for her own protection, I follow orders.
As a former SEAL, I’m used to facing down challenges that would conquer lesser men. Taming a tiny, blonde-haired goddess with enough sass to kick start a private jet should be a walk in the park.
It should be.
But as I force Paige to bend to my will and strip away her defenses, I see a new woman take her place. One who turns my world upside down.
The Paige Monroe I have all to myself in a small cabin is not the woman whose life is for all to see in any magazine. All that sass and stubbornness is a cover to hide her true self.
She’s sweeter, more innocent…more vulnerable than I’d ever imagined.
I started off wanting to tame Paige. Now I want to treasure her.
Make her mine.
And keep her safe, not only from her own fears, but from the man who hunts her.
**The SEALs Virgin Hostage is a quick and naughty page turner involving an obsessed alpha hero, scorching insta-love and sizzling romantic suspense that will melt your kindle. HEA and no cheating in this emotional tale.

In an age of exploitation and sexual innuendo, disrespect is a trait that is exhibited regularly. Ms. Holden gives some of that respect back with her heroines.

She will not be coddled and she will be listened to. Lilly Holden proves strength doesn't lie in sex appeal, it lies in character. The person underneath the window dressing. Who knew a positive message could hide within a tempestuously, tantalizing, mystery?
