HANDLE WITH CARE (SADDLER'S COVE) BY NINA CROFT

 

 

Release DateJuly 30, 2018

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

What if all you want is the one thing you can’t have? 
 
First grade teacher Emily Towson always does the right thing. The sensible thing. But in her dreams, she does bad, bad things with the town’s baddest boy: Tanner O’Connor. But when he sells her grandmother a Harley, fantasy is about to meet a dose of reality. 
 
And then he goes and calls her “sensible”...
 
Tanner can’t believe sweet Emily is standing in his shop. Yelling and waving her hands and looking so god damn sexy he’s having trouble focusing. He’d spent two hard years in prison, with only the thought of this “good girl” to keep him sane. 
 
He really should send her away...
 
Before either one thinks though, they’re naked and making memories on his tool bench with apparently the oldest condom in history. Now Tanner’s managed to knock-up the town’s “good girl” and she’s going to lose her job over some stupid “morality clause” if he doesn’t step up. 
 
But can this bad boy teach his good girl they’re perfect for each other in time?

When a single independent woman falls for a single dad, she has to decide if she’s willing to accept the whole package.

Single dad, Chase Marlow is well-known in the community for his work with disadvantaged women and children. He also loves animals, so when he’s asked to be one of the auctioned billionaires, he steps up to the challenge. 

Jenny isn’t planning on bidding, but when Chase enters the stage, all bets are off. After all, it’s just one date. 

Can Jenny and Chase get that one date off the ground, or will there be too many obstacles in their way?

TRUE-BLUE COWBOY (ROCKY MOUNTAIN RIDERS) BY SARA RICHARDSON

 

 

Release DateJuly 31, 2018

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

In the tradition of Carolyn Brown, Jennifer Ryan, and Maisey Yates comes the fourth book in Sara Richardson's western contemporary romance series about sexy bull-riders.

Can this cowboy be tamed?

Everly Brooks is finally living her dream. Renting a farm in Topaz Falls, Colorado, is the perfect antidote to her high-stress life back in San Francisco. It's the ideal place to raise chickens, grow veggies, and run her farm-to-table restaurant. There's just one problem: her new landlord. Mateo Torres is a handsome-as-hell bronc rider who oozes charm, melts hearts-and plans to kick Everly off the farm . . .

Mateo has dreams, too. He'd bought that land as an investment, so he could take care of his mom and sisters, which means Everly has to go. Unfortunately for him, this former big-city girl is just as stubborn as the broncs he rides. When his trailer floods and forces him to move into Everly's farmhouse, things between them really start to heat up. Sure, living under the same roof might not be the best way to settle their dispute over the land. But when two rivals share everything-from heated words to scorching kisses-it's definitely the hottest.

REVIEWCRAVEN HOUSE COLLECTION BY CHRISTINA MCKNIGHT 

 

 

The Thief Steals Her EarlThe Thief Steals Her Earl by Christina McKnight

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Boundaries. Such a black and white word. The limit that is not to be crossed no matter what. Although on paper it's a reasonable word when emotion becomes involved there is a different meaning entirely. In the name of love lines get blurred and that invisible wall becomes an obstacle that needs to be demolished. Jude and Cart are not all that different. Cart's a planner, Jude's a plotter. His logical mind has been both a gift and a curse. Her active imagination and out of the box thinking are about to land her in a sticky situation. One thing's for sure these two will stop at nothing to protect the people they love. With her street savvy and his book smarts they may each succeed. As I read more and more of Ms. McKnight's romances it easy to see why so many enjoy her stories. She does not stick with the traditional love stories but like her characters creates a world center around the best of their talents and works from there. The Thief Steals Her Earl has personality and I respect any author who can make a story her own.


 

The Mistress Enchants Her MarquisThe Mistress Enchants Her Marquis by Christina McKnight

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

His rep is on the upswing but can his heart withstand the turbulence headed his way? Ms. McKnight is known for her unconventional heroines and she stays true to form with Samantha. Samantha is a lost soul looking for a bit of affection and instead lands in the middle of scandal. A pistol through and through, she never backs down from a challenge, despite the heartache she endures along the way. The Mistress Enchants Her Marquis is an explosion of color, scandal, sensuality and emotion that comes alive with every new character and each flip of the page. Falling in love with these exquisite characters isn't a possibility, but a fact.


  

The Madame Catches Her DukeThe Madame Catches Her Duke by Christina McKnight

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Marce made a deal with the devil and lost her heart along the way. The only thing she can hope for is to win it back some day. Rowan has closed his heart to the treachery of love. The scandal that tore apart his family is all he can ever think of. When an act of love for his mother leads him into a scandalous deception, his long dormant heart may just get the wake up call it needs. What is the price of love? Is it sacrificing one's own happiness? Rowan and Marce both know the pain of a broken heart, but can they teach each other what it means to love? Why do fools fall in love? To get to the happily ever after. The Madame Catches Her Duke is a sensual dance of heartache, pleasure and faith. The characters are not always likable, but the emotion is stunning.


 

The Gambler Wagers Her Baron (Craven House Book 4)The Gambler Wagers Her Baron by Christina McKnight

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Release Date: July 31, 2018

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

If she’s the boss, why is she following her cowboy’s commands? 

Harleanna “Harley” Baker has been telling Lucas Howell what to do since the day he stole her daddy’s tractor. Only Lucas isn’t one to listen. She’s tried to get him into her bed, but he’s stubborn and secretive. Now, she has a ranch to run, and she needs Lucas by her side. Not that she’d ever let him know that. 

Lucas grew up rough and learned early that if he wanted control in his life, he had to take it. That control continued in the bedroom and is the reason he can never have the one woman he wants. Sex with Harley wouldn’t be safe, sane, or consensual. It would be reckless, wild, and out of control.

PUCKER UP (KISS TALENT AGENCY) BY VIRNA DEPAUL

 

 

 

Release Date: August 3, 2018

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

She won’t be his flavor of the week. But just a taste won’t hurt…right? 

Jenna 

I love Lee Bowers. And that sucks. 

He’s my brother’s best friend, but a bookish nerd like me would never fit into his celebrity-chef, serial-heartbreaker world. I don’t do risks. Lawyering feeds my bank account. Anonymous food blogging feeds my soul. 

But one night, in a red-wine-fueled funk, I pour out my feelings in a blog post, safe behind my anonymous mask. And realize too late my drunken fingers hit “Publish” instead of “Delete.” 

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I am screwed. 

Lee 

At first, I wanted to skewer the popular food critic who brutally lampooned my restaurant—apparently while simultaneously ogling my butt. But you know what? She’s right. The only hands-on time I’ve spent in the kitchen lately involves a hot blonde and, um…a zucchini. 

Somewhere between my I’m-gonna-sue fury, and unexpectedly cuddling with Jenna after a night of soul-searing sex, I accidentally discover that blogger’s identity. And my whole life does a screeching 180. 

I love Jenna Harrison. And I’m going to prove it to her, one anonymous, sexy text message at a time.

Bradley thought he had it all until he discovers he never even had a clue. Flirting with Paradise takes a few hints from a reality show and changes how we should look at the world. In a world full of celebrity, wealth and pride, kindness tends to get lost in the shuffle. Keniston shows how empathy can change the world.

Clean SweepClean Sweep by Kate Willoughby

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


There are moments when the wrong size can prove to be the perfect fit. Clean Sweep highlights one of those times. Dakota and Cam have nothing in common. He's a playboy hockey player. She's a down on her luck housekeeper. What began with the best of intentions could be just right for this mismatched pair. He needs a clean house, she and her niece need a new beginning. Emotions are off the table, but their hearts have other plans. Willoughby is one of the best author's I've never read. She cuts right to the heart of matters with her witty dialogue, lovable characters and a heartwarming presentation that makes all the drama worthwhile. Clean Sweep is my introduction to the party. I couldn't help but fall in love with the show.

SYNOPSIS

 

Marianna Hedley is finally getting her life back together after she walked in on her boyfriend of three years in the arms of another woman. Now she’s pretty much sure that the emergency room where she’s a nurse and he’s a doctor is the very last place she wants to be. So when she gets wrapped up in helping out a handsome man with a head injury—at the beaconing of his mother—she reluctantly agrees. Once she’s sure this foreign stranger is safe, she leaves the ER and swears to never come back. 


Prince Leonardo DeLuca is in America with one mission—propose to the woman he doesn’t love because his parents think it will be the best thing for their country. When he is out for a run and hits his head, he takes this opportunity to fake amnesia with the hopes that his parents can’t force him to marry someone he doesn’t remember. Right? Wrong. His parents don’t care and try to convince him that he will grow to love the woman he hates. 


Desperate to get away, Leo “accidentally” proposes to Marianna as part of a plan they’ve concocted. She’ll get away from her ex and his parents will have to go along with the proposal because if not, then they would have to admit to the press that the soon-to-be king is not of sound mind. Everything was going according to plan, until Leo and Marianna soon discover how kind and generous the other person is and their feelings blossom from friendship to something more.

What I really needed to know is would I be able to forge ahead with the future I had so meticulously planned—one that didn't include Harley—or will her return finally open my eyes to a future full of endless possibilities?

Barrett

 

When Paul asked me to be his best man, I didn’t think we’d make it this far. He’s 0 for 3 on engagements, but he says he’s serious this time.

 

The moment I meet Audrey, the maid of honor, I’m conflicted. She’s recovering from an injury. She needs my help, but all I want is to help her into my bed. What we have is wild and hot as hell—but that doesn’t mean I’m looking for it to continue past this trip. I’ve worked too hard to get to where I am to let anyone drag me down—but before I know it she’s got me turned around, and chasing after what I swore I’d never want—a chance at forever.

 

Audrey

 

I’m still recovering from ankle surgery after a severe break, but I’m the maid of honor and I refuse to let pain stop me from being part my best friend’s wedding. When I overdo it, I retreat to recover and regroup.

 

That’s how I meet Barrett. He’s brooding and blunt, but when he picks me up and carries me as if I’m nothing then brings me ice and takes care of me—I’m ready for my first wedding hookup. He is exactly what I need to get my mojo back.

 

Being bad never felt this good.

 

When he tells me he's not ready for a relationship I believe him—after all, his best friend just left mine at the altar. Where do we go from there?

 

Is it wrong to hope for make up sex considering we weren't the ones who broke up?

 

Almost a Wedding is the second book in the LEFT AT THE ALTAR series in a collaboration of six New York Times Bestselling Authors: J. S. Scott, Ruth Cardello, Raine Miller, Sawyer Bennett, Minx Malone, and Melody Anne.

REVIEWALMOST A WEDDING (LEFT AT THE ALTAR) BY RUTH CARDELLO

 

Almost a Wedding (Left At The Altar, #2)Almost a Wedding by Ruth Cardello

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Life may not always be sunshine and rainbows, but through the grace of God and strength of character things tend to work out fine. Almost a Wedding serves as a reminder that there's always a bright side to every dark cloud. Audrey and Barrett find romance at the wedding that wasn't. Barrett is a pessimist, trudging through the baggage of a painful past. Sweet natured and optimistic Audrey is working her way back to fighting form after an accident interrupted her structured routine. Amidst a disappearing groom, a doomed wedding and emotional circumstances, fate plays matchmaker. Cardello never loses her sense of humor. Even as she works in a few life lessons and heartbreaking moments, she can always make me smile.

SYNOPSIS

 

He swore to never come back. She promised to hold him to his word.

 

After years of living the life his oppressive parents wanted for him, Cameron Blake is ready to pursue his dreams of being a reclusive artist. Pleasing the faithful baseball fans of the New York Emperors has been rewarding, but now all he wants is peace and quiet. That and an irreversible vasectomy. Because there’s no way he’s passing on the heavy burden of the Blake genes to an innocent child. But Cameron never gets what he wants. Ever.

 

The last thing Adrianna Arenas needs is for her ex to slide back into her life. Not when she can throw a nine-year-old curve ball that will change his game. Not when his father could tear her world apart with a simple phone call. Especially not when, despite everything that stands between them, her insides go wild when Cameron walks into a room. But Adri never gets to keep things the way she needs them. Ever.

 

After ten years, fate brings Cameron face-to-face with Adrianna, the woman he never forgot, and the little girl that ties them forever.

 

It all goes back to the secrets, jealousy, and heartache that destroyed the magical summer when they loved each other madly, broke each other’s hearts, and changed each other’s lives.

 

Read this second chance romance and find out if Adri and Cam’s story goes on the win column for love.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Main Street is a great place to lose oneself in stories of courageous women, alpha men and heartwarming romance. Escape into the creme de la creme of feel good reads.


Read, Write, Love at Seaside (Sweet with Heat: Seaside Summers #1) by Addison Cole - Warmth and light abound within an intoxicating romance. Leanna and Kurt have nothing in common. The loner and the optimist may be an odd combination, but the healing qualities they bring out in one another helps them find common ground. They bring out the best in each other, even at their worst. Cole proves that romance can be sweetly seductive with a hint of heat and an abundance of heart. Simply irresistible. (5 star)


Dreaming at Seaside (Sweet with Heat: Seaside Summers #2) by Addison Cole - Against a beautiful backdrop and deeply moving scenarios, sparks fly, hearts get broken and difficult choices are made. Caden and Bella are a reminder that despite the pitfalls, love is a rewarding experience. (5 star)


Adam (Farraday Country #1) by Chris Keniston - For influential, light, genuine stories, a reader need look no further than author Chris Keniston. Tales of heartache and loss, quickly develop into meaningful stories that quite often have me smiling through my tears. Right from the start, she aims for the part of a reader that is most vulnerable. THE HEART! And lands a bullseye 90% percent of the time. (5 star)


Brooks (Farraday Country #2) by Chris Keniston - Oh, these Farraday men. The stuff of dreams. A dormant hero lies buried inside the rugged good looks waiting for the right woman to bring out the warrior. Brooks is every bit as dreamy as his brother but less complicated. My love of strong female leads was fed by Toni. Refusing to be a victim, she sought out to save herself. (5 star)

Release Date: July 26, 2018

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Ex-SEAL Hunter Odenson has always been a big guy. Musclebound, strong, and silent, it’s easy for people to judge him on his body and forget that he has brains too. Hunter’s looking to change that reputation at Norse Security by earning the team leader position. At least, that was the plan before he got stuck as bodyguard to a Hollywood actress. While there’s no better eye candy than Alexandra Valentine, Hunter figures it’s a job that entails more handbag watching than strategizing a covert ops.

 

Alexandra Valentine has made a living playing the ditz. Hollywood likes their blondes bouncy and brainless and Alexandra has been smart enough to give them what they’re looking for. However, after years spent being the butt of the joke she’s ready to snatch screen time back as a leading lady. Going deep undercover into a sex slave ring was supposed to prep her for her first dramatic role, but when things go wrong and she loses her best friend to trafficking, Alexandra’s method acting becomes a real-life crisis.

 

Alexandra hires Hunter under the guise of protection, but all she wants from the big boy is the training and muscle to save her best friend. When Hunter discovers the position with Alexandra isn’t what it seems, he’s psyched for the chance to prove he’s ready for leadership. But sliding into the world of desire lights a fire under their own attraction. As tensions mount and they delve deeper and deeper into the world of sex, Hunter will need to decide if their growing love or his need to save the day is more important.

SYNOPSIS

 

Holly and Aiden broke up? Seriously? No way. Not those two."

 

Dumped. 
No, not only dumped.
Blindsided and dumped.

 

I thought that Aiden McManus was my forever, my soulmate,
That was until he told me he was still in love with his ex.

 

I didn't want to believe him.
So, I convinced myself that our break-up was because of his upcoming deployment,
and not because he didn't love me.
Believing that, helped me get through those first months.

 

But after a while, I realized I just might be lying to myself.
And it was time to move on...

 

So, I moved on. Or tried to move on, anyway.
But that didn’t work out so well for me, either.
And it practically got me disowned from my family.

 

After that, I finally started to get my life back together,
I had everything back under control…
…Or so I thought.

 

Until I found out Aiden was back

 

And now he’s everywhere I turn,
Still pushing me away,
telling me he doesn’t want me.

 

But every time he calls me Angel or reaches out to touch my cheek,
I know what he's not admitting to himself –
He still loves me.

 

And I'm going to prove it to him.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Bring on the tears. Cheer for the triumphs. Keep eyes on the prize and a heart rooted in faith. Saying goodbye to any series is never easy, but Gareth and Sloan made it downright difficult. Daws picked the perfect brother to close out the series. Despite life's hard knocks, Gareth never lost sight of what was important, even at the risk to his own well being. The Harris brothers are heroes not because of the sports they play, but because of the people they are.

UNSUPERVISED BY CORA KENBORN

 

 

Release Date: July 27, 2018

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Niall

 

I have twenty-eight days to find the perfect wife…

 

As a sought-after photographer with a sexy Irish accent, I have no problem attracting women. Especially crazy ones whose position in my company have me backed into a corner.

The solution is simple: find a fake fiancée and save my job. A chance meeting with a tall blonde seems almost too good to be true. Beautiful, sane, and she has a kid? We have a winner.

I planned everything...except falling for her. A lie brought us together, but now I have no intention of letting her go.

 

Laken

 

I can’t buy my way onto Madison Avenue…

 

Whoever said hard work pays off never applied for a marketing internship at Trask & Payne. Even though I just got my fifth rejection letter, I won’t give up. I’ll continue biding my time playing nanny to the overprivileged.

Then one outrageous proposal changes everything, and I find myself fake engaged with a fake new family. I’d tell him the kid isn’t mine, but there’s a problem. My new “fiancé” is a photographer for Trask & Payne. He’s my “in.” If I can hold on to this charade, I can get the job and the man of my dreams. Game on.

UnsupervisedUnsupervised by Cora Kenborn

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


What began by chance, lead to chaos and heartbreak. A mutually beneficial arrangement between strangers could end up costing more than either are willing to pay. Unsupervised is as adorable as it is unbelievable. Niall and Laken are equal parts crazy and amazing. Each has managed to totally screw themselves over. The humor lies is watching them dig themselves out. Ms. Kenborn makes messy appear sexy in this over the top, yet entertaining hard to put down read.
