HELPING HER REMEMBER (CRAWFORD FALLS) BY KATE CARLEY

 

 

 

Release DateFebruary 26, 2018 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Kelly’s back. 


How can two simple words make Dylan Bronstad’s heart ache and sing at the same time? 
Even seven years ago, Kelly Anne Leeson had possessed that power. Back then, all Dylan wanted to do was drink and make love to her. Really, it was no wonder she’d climbed out of his bed and walked out of his life, leaving him with nothing but a nasty hangover and the lonely memories of their time together. 


Today, Dylan’s life is on track. He’s sober with the support of his family and his tight-knit group of friends. But Kelly could derail all he’s worked to accomplish. Unfortunately, he can’t seem to stay away from her. 


Lured by the offer of her dream job, Kelly returns home to Crawford Falls and the friends she’d abandoned a lifetime ago. Mending those broken relationships will require some honest answers and a fair amount of forgiveness. 


But facing Dylan will take a lot more—like maybe a suit of armor to protect her battle-weary heart and the secret she fears she’ll never be able to keep. 
While Kelly searches for a way to maintain the safe life she’s created for her son, Dylan works to remind her of the relationship they once had. 
Just as they rekindle their relationship, secrets and half-truths threaten to destroy everything.

Sheriff Teague MacDermott’s life has been on hold since the Logan gang rode through Paradise Falls, killing and wounding his loved ones in an attempt to break one of their own out of jail. Now, four years later, he fears history is about to repeat itself as the last of the Logans is due to be released from prison and make good on his vow to put a bullet in Teague's back.

FIGHTING IRISH (THE SUMMERHAVEN TRIO) BY KATY REGNERY 

 

 

 

Release Date: February 26, 2018 -    B & N     IBooks       Kobo

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Rory Haven and Brittany Manion knew one another as children...

...but it's been a long time since their childhood summers at Summerhaven.

The Havens weren't the children who attended exclusive Summerhaven Camp in Center Sandwich, New Hampshire. They were the children of the owners, expected to “pull their weight” and absolutely forbidden to fraternize with the paying guests. But that didn't keep Rory from having a quiet, unrequited crush on gorgeous, popular, insanely-rich, Brittany Manion for three tortuous summers.

When all-grown-up, recently-engaged Brittany books the off-season summer camp for her upcoming spring wedding, she immediately recognizes Rory as the scorching-hot boy who wouldn’t give her the time of day. Meanwhile Rory, who senses that Brittany’s nuptials are less about Mr. Right and more about Mr. Right Now, launches the fight of his life to win the heart of the girl he’s always wanted.

REVIEWFIGHTING IRISH (THE SUMMERHAVEN TRIO) BY KATY REGNERY 

 

Fighting Irish (The Summerhaven Trio, #1)Fighting Irish by Katy Regnery

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


The spirit of the Irish meets the allure of romance. Ms. Regnery takes us beyond the borders of social class in a tale as old as time, but no less breathtaking. Rory and Brittany come from two different worlds. The haves and the have nots. When you live your life based on labels it's easy to lose sight of who you are. Money doesn't buy happiness. The grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. As children Rory and Brittany had little choice in how they lived their lives. Will the maturity of adulthood give them courage to follow their heart's desire? In situations like this I always root for the underdog. Katy Regnery made one underdog out of two people. Fighting Irish captured my heart at hello, which made it hard to have to say goodbye.

Baby Daddy by Kendall Ryan

 

 

BABY DADDY BY KENDALL RYAN

 

 

 

Release DateFebruary 27, 2018 

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

We met in a trapped elevator.

Emmett was on his way to work, sophisticated and handsome in his tailored suit and tie.

I was on my way to the sperm bank. Awkward, right?

At thirty-five, my life hadn’t taken the path I thought it would and I was tired of waiting—I wanted a baby. And I was ready to take matters into my own hands to make it happen.

After our ill-fated elevator encounter, Emmett insisted on taking me to dinner—he also insisted on something else—that I ditch my plan involving a turkey baster and let him do the job. He would be my baby daddy. He was a wealthy and powerful CEO with little interest in diapers or playdates. And since he didn’t want kids, I’d be on my own once his bun was in my oven, free to go my own way.

But once his baby was inside me, it was like a switch had been flipped, and I got a whole lot more than I ever bargained for. 

This full-length standalone contains a hot, swoonworthy hero, lots of playful banter and some hot baby-making s-e-x! Enjoy.

REVIEWBABY DADDY BY KENDALL RYAN

 

Baby DaddyBaby Daddy by Kendall Ryan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Who's fooling who? Are they fooling each other or themselves? Of course fate is pulling all the strings, but are these two control freaks ready to relinquish control. Kendall Ryan has a unique voice. One idea sets the bench mark for seduction and encompasses an endearing tale of sensuality and self-discovery, while tickling you funny bone at the same time. Emmett and Jenna bring the tension, arrogance, frustration and sexuality, but the two factors that made the craziness worthwhile is Ms. Ryan's attention to two equally important details. She let the sunshine in with her humorous delivery and her heartwarming characters. Baby Daddy is a must read.

Jen Mackenzie has been knocked down more than a few times, but she always gets up and makes sure she has the last word.

SYNOPSIS

 

Read Jett and Ruby's story to find out if two wary hearts can find out where they belong in Billionaire Unloved, the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling series from J.S. Scott! 

Ruby:

My name is Ruby Kent, and I'm homeless, a virgin, and terrified when I'm kidnapped by human traffickers and put up for sale on the auction block. I'm for sale to the highest bidder, and I have no idea what my future will be, but I know it's not going to be good. 

I'm waiting for a chance to escape, and that opportunity finally comes after I'm bought and paid for. 

Unfortunately, I have no idea that Jett Lawson has been sent to rescue me, not hurt me, and even after we're both injured during my desperate attempt to run away, he still wants to take care of me. 

Problem is, I have no idea how to trust anyone, or let anybody help me. I've always been alone. It's safer that way. 

Jett Lawson is a mystery to me, an enigma that just gets more complicated with every nice thing he does for me. 

Is it possible for a woman like me to find happiness with a billionaire? 

Probably not, but the more I get to know Jett, the harder is is to resist the lure of having a safe place to be, and a man like no other. 

Jett is scarred just like me, but his wounds are all on the outside.

Mine are carved all over my soul. 

Can two wounded people help each other heal, or will our profound differences tear us apart?

How can it be possible to like and loathe a character at the same time? Meredith Duran makes it possible. The Sins of Lord Lockwood proves how underrated of an author Duran truly is. My heart broke for the lovebirds who never got the chance to be happy. Fate played a cruel joke on two unsuspecting souls. They offered their hearts and instead received heartache. Liam lost his soul to a darkness intent on breaking his spirit. Anna lost her hopes and dreams to a cruelty she fails to understand. Just as easily as hope was snatched away, it suddenly reappears. A vengeful Lord, an emotional whirlwind and a mesmerizing race to a second chance, wage a courageous battle against fate, despair and heartbreak. An epic tale of hearts and faith is at the center of an awe inspiring romance.

REVIEWFROM EXES TO EXPECTING (SUTTER CREEK, MONTANA) BY LAUREL GREER

 

 

From Exes to Expecting (Sutter Creek, Montana, Book 1)From Exes to Expecting by Laurel Greer

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Their marriage may have ended, but the love affair was from over. Love takes a holiday and comes back stronger than ever in author Laurel Greer's, From Exes to Expecting. Lauren and Tavish are in for a few surprises as they make their way back to love. We all want to believe in the power of true love. Happily ever after may seem like a fantasy just out of reach, but it's hopeful optimism of authors like Ms. Greer and her motley crew of misfits in love that give us the courage to seek out our own happy ending. Small town romances with their kooky matchmaking and lovable characters are favorites of mine.

If love makes things happen, denial must get the ball rolling. When it comes to matters of the heart Zach and Penelope are the worst of liars. If actions speak louder than words, why aren't they listening? Lone Star Lovers is an amusing reintroduction to a couple of old friends. Fire has begun to melt the ice, but the real complications have yet to begin. The true gift of an author is to take you out of the real world and entangled you in your imagination. Jessica Lemmon has that gift. Saucy and sweet.

SPICED (THE MISFIT BRIDES) BY JAMIE FARRELL

 

 

Release Date:  March 3, 2018 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Dueling neighbors, baby fever, fake boyfriends, and pizza... Life in Bliss has never been better!

Pepper Blue wants a baby. Forget the husband. She’s better at training men to be good husbands for other women than she is at getting one herself, so she’s doing this on her own.

But she hasn’t exactly shared the news with her family, and they’re determined to find her a date to the next family wedding. A date that won’t leave with one of her sisters or cousins. This time.

Which means Pepper Blue needs a fake boyfriend. A fake boyfriend that she has no chance of actually falling in love with. A fake boyfriend like her obnoxious neighbor.

Tony Cross is a pizza god with a sausage problem. He’s putting on a good show—a different woman at his house every night, flirting with all the right customers, flexing his muscles when called upon—but since his divorce, his meat has been more on the undercooked side. If you know what he means.

Except, unfortunately, when it comes to his annoyingly perfect, always put together, too good for him neighbor. Pepper Blue. Who is not a viable candidate for fixing his “little problem.”

So he’s not sure why he’s coming to her rescue, pretending to be her boyfriend to save her from a bad date at his pizza joint. He just knows it’s fun. And it irritates her. And it turns out, she might be able to help his flagging pizza sales as much as she’s helping his flagging… you know.

So long as this is just business, he’s happy to keep pushing her buttons.

All night long, if he has to.

Spiced is a standalone romantic comedy. Be sure to check out the rest of the Misfit Brides series!

REVIEWSPICED (THE MISFIT BRIDES) BY JAMIE FARRELL

 

Spiced (Misfit Brides, #6)Spiced by Jamie Farrell

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Jamie Farrell has a way with words. She make me laugh as she encourages deep thought. Be careful or her charming reads will still the heart right out of your chest. The appeal of Spiced is Pepper and Tony find a way to deliver a truth we've all heard many times in a heartfelt way without being obvious. That is the beauty of the Misfit Brides series as a whole. The entire series is about being true to yourself, heart, body and spirit. Pepper wants to follow her heart, but her pride and family keep getting in the way. Tony puts on a show, but is much deeper than anyone knows. Ms. Farrell is at the head of the class with her temptingly sweet feel good reads. Addictive entertainment.

FORBIDDEN LYRICS (LIGHTNING STRIKES) BY JODIE LARSON

 

 

 

Release DateFebruary 19, 2018

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Falling in love with your best friend's little sister is never a good idea. Getting caught kissing her, that's even worse.

I watched Lizzie Donovan grow up - from pigtails and scraped knees to pouty lips and lush curves.

It wasn't until one night nine years ago in the front seat of her car, with her lips on mine, that I realized what I was feeling was far more than friendship.

Of course, I felt her brother's wicked left hook shortly after.

One promise was all it took to push her away.

Not anymore.

This is my chance.

I have three months to convince her that she's the song in my heart and we're more than just forbidden lyrics.

REVIEW: FORBIDDEN LYRICS (LIGHTNING STRIKES) BY JODIE LARSON

 

Forbidden Lyrics (Lightning Strikes #3)Forbidden Lyrics by Jodie Larson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


It's fitting that Ms. Larson titled Brecken and Lizzie's story Forbidden Lyrics. Their voyage is haunting, like a melody that stays firmly embedded on your heart and an ever repeated lyric that sets up residence in your mind. The best love song is the one that imprints itself on the soul. Forbidden Lyrics is right up there with the power ballads. Whether frustrated, tempted or heartbreaking, this couple knows how to make readers feel. That's a glowing recommendation for an author in my opinion.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


The single dad. The broken soul. The man with out a past. Playing to Win deliveries meaningful tales of love, courage and maturity. Although I enjoyed Zach and Uma's whirlwind into love, it was Lucas and Isabelle and Julien and Noemi that spoke to my heart. Lucas and Noemi were given the most precious of gifts, but pride and youth nearly destroyed their happily ever after. Isabelle and Julien have a tough road ahead of them as learn how to forgive the people that hurt them. Told from the viewpoint of the characters, each story makes good on the drama. However it's the moments of vulnerability that bring hope and emotion to these stories of redemption and healing.

This is a test. A test of every life decision Lisa Michaels has ever made.

Lisa thought she’d gotten everything right: The nicest condo, the right career, the best hair, and a perfectly adequate sex life with her stockbroker fiancé. But when the fiancé ditches her at the altar, Lisa’s left questioning every decision she’s ever made. What if her instincts have been steering her wrong all along? And what if she tested that theory by spending one month doing the exact opposite of what she’d normally do?

A crazy-hot fling with a tattooed steelworker from the wrong side of the tracks seems like a good starting point...

KIAN (UNDERCOVER BILLIONAIRE) BY MELODY ANNE

 

 

 

Release Date: February 20, 2018

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

New York Times bestselling author Melody Anne’s sizzling novel of ex-lovers locked again in a game of hearts.

There was a time when surgeon Kian Forbes would have surrendered every cent of his vast family fortune if it could make Roxie Gilbert happy. That was before she skipped town, broke his heart, and sent him spinning through a string of forgettable one-night stands. He never even knew he’d fathered a child—with Roxie’s sister, no less. But in the wake of tragedy, little Lily needs a home. And Kian wants his daughter. But Roxie’s not giving in or giving up without a fight.

Fearful of her intense feelings for Kian, Roxie ran. Now that her sister’s death has brought her home, she intends to take custody of her niece and avoid Kian—easier said than done on both counts. With their wealth and power, the Forbes men are accustomed to winning. And as she and Kian are forced to spend time together for Lily’s sake, saying no to everything he wants proves impossible…even though it means risking both their hearts all over again.

Kian (Undercover Billionaire, #1)Kian by Melody Anne

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I always look forward to reading a Melody Anne novel. Her stories are profound, her characters relatable and the romances turbulent, to say the least. With Kian, she pulled a fast one on me. I went into the experience thinking: "How am I supposed to enjoy a story where I don't like the characters very much?" and came out reminded of what a talent this author really is. She has to be in order to get me to love any type of story with medical terminology. Kian and Roxie have a past that has stalked them into their present day life. When tragedy reunites them, secrets are exposed, hurts are revealed and passions reawakened. What happens when the passion of the past becomes the storm of the future? Kian and Roxie were a work in progress that painstakingly turned heartache into a lesson in forgiveness. Bravo, Ms. Anne!

SYNOPSIS

 

Fans of Kristen Callihan and Kylie Scott will scream for this sizzling bad boy rock star romance!

I'm not who you think I am.

Shane Hawthorne has it all. At least, that's what the headlines say about me. I have millions of fans, awards, more money - and women - than I know what to do with. But what you don't see is the wreckage I've caused. The memories and pain I can't escape, even when I pour them into music and spin them into gold.

I tried to forget. To lose myself in booze and groupies. It didn't work. It hurt me and - worse - it hurt my band. That's the last thing I want to do, so I'm cleaning up my act... starting with Delaney Fraser.

Gorgeous, smart, drama-free, and even nice - Delaney is the perfect "girlfriend." When I'm with her I don't have to pretend. It's like she sees the real me. And I can see a future with her. But that's dangerous. Because the truth is, Shane Hawthorne doesn't actually exist. He's a shield to hide who I really am. Fraud. Runaway. Addict. Murderer.

And it's impossible to love a lie, right?

Rock King (Nothing but Trouble, #1)Rock King by Tara Leigh

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Shane is a mirage. He knows how to shine, but he's better at knowing how to self destruct. Underneath the bright lights, he can be what the people wants. An untouchable, larger than life rock star. Behind closed doors he falls apart. He breaks hearts, ruin friendships and tortures himself with the demons of his past. He wants to be saved, but is not willing to rescue himself. Delaney is the epitome of what his heart desires, but not necessarily what his heart needs. She's a showstopper in more ways than even he knows. Her secrets are less obvious but still exist. Tara Leigh has become a favorite author of mine. She's not afraid to show the dark side of fame, wealth and love. The side we all know to exist, but refuse to see. Rock King is an on the edge romance that is toxic, tempting and touching. Delaney and Shane are caught in a masquerade of their own making, Can they survive the big reveal?

REVIEW: DRIVING WHISKEY WILD (THE WHISKEYS) BY MELISSA FOSTER

 

Driving Whiskey Wild (The Whiskeys, #3)Driving Whiskey Wild by Melissa Foster

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


"Don't go after your sweetheart with your brawn, baby. Go after her with your heart.

That's the biggest and best thing that sets you apart from every other tough guy out there." (Excerpt- Driving Whiskey Wild by Melissa Foster - Red & Bullet, a mother's heartfelt words to her son)


Not often do I stumble across the perfect words to describe my feelings, but Ms. Foster made it easy. With a limited amount of words, she summed up the enigma that is Brandon "Bullet" Whiskey. Bullet looked like a warrior, but he had the heart of a champion. I've read many Melissa Foster novels and although I have loved all of them, the Whiskeys are my favorite characters of hers. Why? This family proves that a good heart shouldn't be judged by how you look, but the things you do. The Whiskeys may look tough and at times act tough, but their greatest strength is their ability to love unconditionally. Bullet has to learn to trust his heart when he finds his soulmate. Finlay is his greatest weakness, but she could be his everlasting reward. Not many authors have a direct line to the heart, Melissa Foster has that gift and she does wonders with it.

Insatiable Bachelor (Bachelor Tower Series, Book 1)

 

 

INSATIABLE BACHELOR (BACHELOR TOWER) BY RUTH CARDELLO

 

 

 

Release DateFebruary 22, 2018

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

 

A brand new series set in a whole new world. 

Dalton: Women are a perk of my lifestyle. I work hard. I deserve to play harder. But I didn’t get on the Forbes List of Rising Entrepreneurs by getting lost in the baggage and disruption that comes with dating. I’ve seen dozens of men fail when they fall in love. Pathetic. 

That's why I chose the Bachelor Tower. It was designed by a genius, my hero: the late, Garry F. Sinclair. He created an all-male haven for ambitious men who want to live like kings and play by their own rules. Casino nights, a fully equipped gym and lap pool, cigar and Scotch bar, and a media room with screens the size of the average movie theater. The list is endless. I easily network with men trying to launch their careers or those at the top who want to stay hungry. The best part: the tower attracts women, beautiful women who hang out in the lobby bar and vie for an invite upstairs. Easy, like fishing in a barrel. 

Until Sinclair dies and Penny Fuller moves into the apartment next to me because the new owner doesn't share his vision. 

Everyone agrees Penny can't stay. I don't want to get involved, but she doesn't understand the lengths my fellow building mates will go to to get her out. She's not only irresistibly sexy and painfully optimistic, she's also in real danger. 

Siding with her would be career suicide. 

Betraying her was never my intention.

REVIEW:  INSATIABLE BACHELOR (BACHELOR TOWER) BY RUTH CARDELLO

 

Insatiable Bachelor (Bachelor Tower Series, Book 1)Insatiable Bachelor by Ruth Cardello

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Life is not a restaurant, not everything goes your way. The residents of Bachelor Tower are about to get schooled in the ways of the world. Beginning with the hunky Dalton. Insatiable Bachelor turns sexism on it's head while two-stepping between edgy and flirtatious. Penny finds more than she bargained for when a family favor lands her in a ton of hot water. What begins as a favor becomes a tempting battle of wills between an annoying neighbor and a building full of testosterone. Dalton is the jerk you love to hate, but can't keep off your mind. Kudos to Ms. Cardello for her ability to create heroines that are not afraid to speak their mind, even if it costs them their heart. There is no walking away from Penny and Dalton. I was hooked from the first page.
