OWEN (UNDERCOVER BILLIONAIRE) BY MELODY ANNE

 

 

 

Release DateDecember 4, 2018

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

In New York Times bestselling author Melody Anne’s blazing novel of desire and betrayal, a second chance at love is a hot—and dangerous—proposition.

 

There was a time when Eden’s entire world revolved around Owen Forbes. They were inseparable childhood sweethearts. They planned a life together. Then, without so much as a goodbye, Owen vanished. Now, after ten years, he’s returned to town as the hottest new firefighter on the force. Whatever secrets pulled them apart, Eden can’t fight the sparks reignited by the man who broke her heart.

 

Owen knows he did Eden wrong. If only he could tell her why. As body meets body, he’s whispering for a second chance—wanting her back so bad it hurts. It can also be dangerous. An arsonist is targeting the small town of Edmonds, and Eden with it. And it’s Owen himself who’s become engulfed in suspicion.

 

Eden knows that with a past as hot and mysterious as Owen’s, their future together could go up in flames. Because the one man she’s afraid to trust is the only man she desires—and the only one who can save her.

REVIEWOWEN (UNDERCOVER BILLIONAIRE) BY MELODY ANNE

 

Owen (Undercover Billionaire, #3)Owen by Melody Anne

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Melody Anne is fierce when it comes to family. Whether it be touching our hearts with the Andersen clan or tempting the senses with the Forbes brood, love and loyalty play a key role. Like every other Anne enthusiast I adore the Andersens, but I have to say I'm in awe of these bad boy Forbes brothers. They prove that no family is perfect, but love can make it through even the toughest of situations. Owen is a tale of broken hearts, hidden agendas and second chances. Young love morphs into adult suspicion and two hearts may never be the same. Haunted by heartache. Stalked by danger. Can the boy that ran away reclaim the life he left behind? Eden and Owen are a force to be reckoned with.

ENGAGED TO THE EMT (BLUE COLLAR BROTHERS) BY PIPER RAYNE

 

 

Release DateDecember 6, 2018

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

A Sexy FAKE RELATIONSHIP rom com standalone written by a duo of two USA Bestselling Authors

 

Luca Bianco is a jerk.

 

There I said it.

 

He thinks he’s so suave and sexy, walking around in his paramedic uniform stretched out by all his hard muscles and saving lives every day. I swear he thinks every woman in the world would kill for a chance to be with him.

 

Men like Luca are good for one thing only—a one-night stand—not commitment. I don’t care if my friend did pay good money at a charity bachelor auction for me to go on a date with him, I refuse to do it.

 

That is until Luca offers me a deal I can’t refuse, and I agree to be his pretend fiancé.

The heat that’s simmered between us for a decade ignites and I’m not sure even Luca will be able to kickstart my heart after I call code blue.

 

What’s that saying? Love is blind?

Not true. I can see this head-on collision coming a mile away.

Engaged to the EMT (Blue Collar Brothers, #3)Engaged to the EMT by Piper Rayne

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I was all prepared not to like Luca. He's the charmer of the Bianco brothers, that's for sure, but people tend to underestimate his heart. There's a depth there that it well hidden, but a treasure when exposed. For that reason Luca turned out to be my favorite of the brothers. He and Lauren bring out the best and worst in each other, all it takes is a little love and understanding to give them the heart to balance their emotions.

Kip Carmichael is no pretty boy.

 

He's a rough. Dirty. Giant. Hair so unruly, and a beard so thick, his friends on the team call him Sasquatch.

 

The first time Sasquatch lays eyes on Theodora "Teddy" Johnson across the keg at a party one night on Jock Row, she'd been relegated to the sidelines by her jock hungry "friends."

 

Week-after-week, he watches beautiful but bashful Teddy getting overshadowed, and overlooked. Sasquatch finally broad shoulders his way through the crowd, offering to to be her hairy godmother. But the minute their eyes meet? He's a goner.

 

Teaching her the RULES for winning a jock will be the easy part. Not falling in love with her is going to be a losing game.

ACROSS THE HORIZON BY ALY MARTINEZ

 

 

 

Release DateDecember 6, 2018

 

 


SYNOPSIS

 

“Sometimes love happens when you least expect it.” That was what my husband’s mistress told me the day I found out about their affair.


I didn’t believe it until five minutes later when mouth-watering celebrity chef Tanner Reese walked up, tossed his arm around my shoulders, and told my cheating husband to take a hike.

Tanner and I couldn’t have been more different. He spent his weekends at clubs, rubbing elbows with fellow A-listers. I spent mine in yoga pants with cheese boards and a glass of wine—or six.

Our relationship shouldn’t have worked, but it did. That is until Tanner proved to me that even though love happens when you least expect it...

So does heartbreak.

Release DateDecember 7, 2018

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

A fun, quirky chick-lit mystery starring Lucy McGuffin, world's best muffin maker and amateur sleuth.

Everyone agrees that Lucy McGuffin bakes the muffins in Whispering Bay, but she's got another talent, one that she's tried her whole life to hide. Lucy can always tell when a person is lying or telling the truth. Being a human lie detector isn't all it's cracked up to be. Especially when you really don't want the answer to the universal question, "Does this dress make my butt look too big?"

When Lucy is hired to cater the grand opening celebration of the city's new community center, she stumbles across the dead body of Abby Delgado, a prominent member of the Sunshine Ghost Society. Lucy's brother, Father Sebastian, a local priest, is the last person to have seen Abby alive. Convinced he'll be breaking a confidence, Sebastian refuses to cooperate with the police, forcing Lucy to put her skills to the test to save her brother's good name.

Enter the town's new hotshot deputy, Travis Fontaine. Travis doesn't want an amateur like Lucy snooping around his turf, so he offers her a deal. He'll stay out of her kitchen if she stays away from his crime scenes. But Lucy isn't about to let her brother's fate rest in the hands of an arrogant cop.

Good thing she has her best friend, Will, and her new rescue dog, Paco, to back her up, because it's up to Lucy to figure out what everyone in the quaint little beachside town is

ReWined Volume 1 (ReWined, #1)

 

 

 

REWINED (PARTY EVER AFTER) BY KIM KARR

 

 

Release DateNovember 25, 2018

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

From New York Times bestselling author Kim Karr comes a brand new dramatic comedy of forbidden love and second chances.

 

Life is short. Time is fast.

No replay. No rewind.

That’s my motto.

And there’s nothing wrong with that.

 

That is until the day I turn 27 and everything changes. Suddenly, I’m expected to…

 

1) Move back to my hometown.

2) Stop partying.

3) Take over my family’s winery.

4) And get married.

 

Wait!

What?

That last one I didn’t see coming.

 

I’m Tyler Justin Ryan Holiday III, Northern California’s most eligible bachelor, and I don’t do monogamy. It’s just a wild guess but I’d have to say that monogamy isn’t going to do me, either.

 

My grandmother won’t listen to a word I have to say on the matter. And since the old battle-axe is still at the helm of my legacy, it’s not like I can blow her off. However, when she tells me whom she thinks will make the perfect bride, and then subsequently drops me at said bride’s door, I nearly lose my f*cking mind. Sure, dear old granny tries to sugarcoat the situation with a lot of glitz and glamour, but there’s no turning ash into fairy dust.

 

Paris Elizabeth Hollis Fairchild isn’t only the ultimate party girl and terrible wife material, she’s also my sworn enemy. We loathe each other. We have good reason. And it isn’t because our families are competitors.

 

Needless to say, I’m not surprised when the she-devil slams the door in my face—but it still pisses me off.  

 

Apparently, she doesn’t know me as well as she thinks.

Doesn’t understand I’ve changed.

Doesn’t realize her rejection only spurs me on—makes me want to tame her, claim her, make her mine.

 

Then again, at 27 I’m no longer a lovesick teenager. I’m a grown-ass man with a big ego and an even bigger…never mind.

 

Paris says she doesn’t want to know how big I am, in any sense of the word.

I don’t believe her.

Either way, it doesn’t matter.

 

She’s a challenge I can’t resist. A temptation I can’t ignore. The woman I must have. We haven’t spoken in ten years but mark my words, she and I will be doing that and a hell of a lot more—very soon.  

 

Life is short. Time is fast.

Replay. Rewind.

That’s my new motto.

And there’s no sugarcoating that.

 

***This is volume 1 in the Party Ever After series. Volume 2 will be released December 9th and Volume 3 on December 23rd.***

REVIEWREWINED (PARTY EVER AFTER) BY KIM KARR

 

ReWined Volume 1 (ReWined, #1)ReWined Volume 1 by Kim Karr

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


"Live free. Party hard. Get out fast." - (The Facts of Life according to Tyler Holiday)

Tyler has a talent for being the life of the party, but eventually you have to grow up. Paris Fairchild is the wake up call he never saw coming. She turns his world upside down with her smart mouth, her diva attitude and her sexy ways. She stole his heart once before. No way will he let that happen again. Too bad some things are beyond our control. ReWined is a flavorful tale of robust personalities and saucy attraction. Egos fly, hearts break and disorder runs wild, but in the most enticing way.

Tainted: Lance and Mary (Cliffside Bay #5)Tainted: Lance and Mary by Tess Thompson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Cliffside Bay is the place to go when nursing a broken heart, looking for a fresh start or building friendships that last a lifetime. Tess Thompson has quickly become a favorite author of mine. She's not afraid to tell it like it is. Tainted brings hope from tragedy and finds inspiration through despair. Mary and Lance teach a valuable lesson. Life is not dwelling on how many times we get knocked down, but having the courage to get back up and try again. The rain is just a stepping stone to point us in the right direction. Heartbreak is the beginning of something wonderful.

Christmas in New York—it’s the most wonderful time of the year, right? 

Shayla Zielinski doesn’t think so. Orphaned as a young child, her happy holiday memories are few and far between, and her usual tactic, come December time, is to hunker down and wait for the season of goodwill to blow over. 

That is, until she meets Colton Cooper. 

The gorgeous, Christmas-loving billionaire bursts into her life like a gleeful blizzard of holiday cheer. Shayla’s warned not to get involved; men like him don’t play by the rules—Santa suits or not—but it’s not long before he’s breaking down her Scrooge-like defenses. As the countdown to the holidays begins, he sets out to convince her that it’s possible to have a truly merry, very steamy Christmas! 

No sooner has the New Year begun, however, the billionaire shows his true colors—only for Shayla to discover that their antics under the mistletoe had some very real consequences: she’s pregnant, with his baby! 

Unwilling to stake her hopes on a man who’s already betrayed her, Shayla resolves to raise their baby on her own. It’s only months later that she discovers that there may be more to Colton’s betrayal than meets the eye… 

Colton Cooper is going to get his Christmas surprise a year late. Can the two lovers reunite, and learn the true meaning of Christmas, after all?

Instead of becoming the third wife of her parents’ stuffy neighbor, she can be anything she wants: a doting aunt to her newborn niece, a debutante in London, or even an independent spinster. But when she meets and kisses a mysterious man on a walk in the countryside, she knows exactly what she desires—him. 

David Langley, Earl of St. Ives, is resigned to marrying the dull woman his parents chose when he was a child. His future is suddenly, and happily, diverted when he encounters a captivating young woman who shows him everything he’s been missing. Ready to embark on a blissful life together, a long-buried feud between their families makes their marriage impossible. Nothing is more important than duty and family, but can he turn his back on love?

REVIEWTHE DUKE OF KISSES (THE UNTOUCHABLES) BY DARCY BURKE

 

The Duke of Kisses (The Untouchables, #11)The Duke of Kisses by Darcy Burke

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Standing on the edge of tomorrow means finding a way through today. For Frances that begins with a fresh start and a chance to make choices that weren't available to her before. For David that chance lies in risking his entire future for a chance at happiness. The Duke of Kisses is a modern story set in a not so modern time. Burke picks a subject matter that we can all relate to, in order to make a point not easily forgotten. In a world where duty is everything, sometimes it pays to follow your heart.

SNAP DECISION (SEATTLE STEELHEADS) BY JAMI DAVENPORT

 

 

 

Release Date: November 29, 2018

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Bad boy quarterback Tyler Harris plays ball for a living and breaks hearts for a hobby.

 

With two championships in as many years, Tyler is the best quarterback in the league. Gorgeous and rich, he's at the top of his game. Women love him. Men want to be him. Only Tyler's not feeling the love. In fact, he's not feeling anything at all. Licking his wounds after a scandal and a breakup with his long-time girlfriend, he retreats to a run-down mansion on a remote island in the Pacific Northwest. Once there, Tyler is blindsided by the sassy redhead next door. He knows that he's met his match and possibly his soulmate. There's one problem. She despises him.

 

Lavender Mead has a good reason to dislike jocks, namely an absentee father who deserted the family to coach college football. Maybe that explains her penchant for bad boys -- especially those who play ball. Her new neighbor seems just that type. Yet Tyler's not the shallow superstar she expected, and she's inexplicably drawn to football's bad boy. The two are so hot together, they're combustible.

 

As the clock ticks down, can they commit to each other forever? Or will they both fall short of the goal at the last minute?

MINI MIRACLES (THE CHURCH DOGS OF CHARLESTON) BY MELISSA STORM

 

 

 

Release Date: November 29, 2018

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Some say that whenever it snows in Charleston, God is giving a miracle to his most favorite of places. So, I reckon, the blizzard that bleached the entire sky that December must have been a blessing of epic proportions. It was certainly a miracle that I’d forgotten my cell phone after giving my Christmas Eve sermon and had to race back to the sanctuary in order to retrieve it. 

Otherwise, how would anyone have ever known that right there in our famous nativity scene, a trembling, little Chihuahua had given birth to a litter of puppies? Yes, right there in the manger. O Holy Night for sure! 

This is a story about how those special pups came to change our church—and all the people in it—for the better. Most especially my poor daughter, Abigail. Being the preacher’s kid is never easy. I know, because I grew up as one, too. But losing your spouse right while expecting to become a parent for the first time? 

Well, that’s enough to make even the strongest of believers question God’s plans. I know I did. But then our Mama Mary Chihuahua and her Mini Miracles found us… And, well, I’ll let you read the story to find out what happened next!

THE SEAL'S CONTRACT BABY BY KATIE KNIGHT

 

 

 

Release Date: November 29, 2018

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

After an “incident” on his last SEAL mission, Zachary “Z” Raybourn has been relegated to babysitting duty. He’s spent the last six months guarding the daughter of a small foreign nation, a girl so valuable to the US that she apparently can’t buy milk without him trailing along like a lost puppy. He’d joined the military to make a difference and stayed enlisted because of the SEAL team he considers family. Now all he wants is to get back to them ASAP.

Esme Hollycombe is her country’s last hope. Her father the King controls a very important port that serves as a naval base for the US. But with her father’s rapidly declining health, and her US-hating cousin next in line for the throne, Esme has been frantically searching for a loophole in her country’s law that says only a man can rule. The only thing she finds is that she can rule in the stead of any male heir she gives birth to. Unmarried and certainly not pregnant, the loophole isn’t of much use to her. Until her attention turns to the hot SEAL protector who has been pacing the palace for the last six months like a caged animal. He’d do anything to get back to his squad; and she’d do anything to keep her cousin off the throne, leaving him unable to evict the US and all their military protection from her country.

Esme offers a contract to Z: get her pregnant, marry her so the heir will be legitimate, and he can have his life back. Z eventually agrees. But being the partner of a princess comes with far more action and intrigue than he’d ever dreamed. He also finds that making a baby is an easy way to fall in love. Now, Z will have to choose: the military family he misses, or the nuclear family he’s creating.

REVIEW: THE SEAL'S CONTRACT BABY BY KATIE KNIGHT

 

The SEAL's Contract BabyThe SEAL's Contract Baby by Katie Knight

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This princess is not afraid to get her hands dirty. Esme is no shrinking violet, she's a survivor. When a sick father and a conniving cousin threaten to destroy everything she holds dear, she hatches a plan. Her plan risks not only her kingdom, but her heart is also at stake. Z is the answer to her prayer. He's cautious, sexy and makes his own rules, but no one can predict when it comes to matters of the heart and that could prove dangerous on so many levels. The Seal's Contract Baby is as steamy as it is thrilling. Zach (Z) and Esme make for a page turning romance.
