THE LAST (THE LIST) BY TAWNA FENSKE
Release Date: February 4, 2019
SYNOPSIS
Sarah Keating was sure she’d be married by 30. Husband, kids, the kick-ass career helping adults with Down Syndrome—she assumed she’d have it all, and there’d be no need to fall back on the marriage pact she made with her best pal from college.
But a tipsy message she sends from her birthday party brings Ian Nolan to her door ready to rock her world, and not just with mind-blowing sex. He’s up for tying the knot, and has a million pragmatic reasons it makes perfectly good sense.
As Sarah and Ian test drive their marriage-of-convenience, they navigate awkward business dinners, a slippery steam room hookup, and a costume party gone awry. Their friendship is stronger than ever, and the sexual chemistry is off the charts.
But is that enough to make a marriage work, or will one of them fall hard and end up brokenhearted?
Each book in the The List series is STANDALONE.

REVIEW: THE LAST (THE LIST) BY TAWNA FENSKE
The Last by Tawna Fenske
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Fenske makes frustrating endearing. For Sarah and Ian the road less travelled, could end up leading them home. Nobody can make me laugh as frequently and uproariously as she can. The personality flaws that make us human are what makes her characters so irresistible. She never hides the imperfections. She highlights them with wit and heart. The Last is a winner all the way.

REVIEW: SCANDALOUS HEIRESS (THOSE NOTORIOUS AMERICANS) BY CERISE DELAND
Scandalous Heiress by Cerise DeLand
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love it when a writer is not afraid to shake up the canvas with an unconventional character. Ada is that oddity. She speaks her mind, follows her heart and risks everything for what she believes in. She can't and won't be tamed. It's only fitting that this courageous heroine meets her match in an equally strong adventurer like Victor. He's fought his own battles to become a survivor, but his greatest fight could be to win the heart of a firecracker like Ada Hanniford. Scandalous Heiress steamrolls it's way into hearts with a love affair unlike any other.

HARD-RIDING COWBOY (KINKY SPURS) BY STACEY KENNEDY
Release Date: February 5, 2019
SYNOPSIS
Megan Harrison is the owner of Kinky Spurs. She’s mortgaged up to her eyeballs and works long days and nights, but she’s living life on her terms, not on her wealthy father’s. She’s done being in the cattle rancher’s shadow. She’s got it all figured out, except for the part that involves Nash Blackshaw. He’s a sexy as hell cowboy whose smile can easily charm her out of her tight jeans. The only problem is—their fathers were business rivals, and Megan and Nash have been taught to hate each other since birth.
Nash Blackshaw, a retired professional bull rider, has responsibilities on top of responsibilities. With his PBR career over due to back injury, and his focus narrowed on heading up the Blackshaw Cattle Company’s Guest Ranch, he shouldn’t have time to think about all the ways he wants Megan. But it’s all he thinks of around the sassy and sweet woman. She might be forbidden to him, but Nash wants to take her for a hard, kinky ride.
But small towns have a way of spreading gossip like wildfire, and not everyone is happy about their relationship. Especially when Megan drops a bombshell on Nash after one heated night between them. As much as Megan and Nash want to forget the old feud between their fathers and lose each other in explosive passion, they can’t escape reality. They are meant to be enemies, and Nash’s sizzling, dominant touch might not be enough to keep them together.

A Valentine's Day Gift by Kylie Gilmore
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A Valentine's Day Gift (Clover Park, Book 11) by Kylie Gilmore
Most happy endings begin with a heartbreak. For Allie and Vinny love was not part of the equation, but fate had other plans. Nobody breaks a heart quite like Kylie Gilmore. A Valentine's Day Gift is a celebration of love. Gilmore looks at love from every angle. Out of grief and unhappiness comes hope for a second chance. A perfectly imperfect romance.

SEAL'S ACCIDENTAL FAMILY (SEAL AND VETERAN) BY LESLIE NORTH
Release Date: February 5, 2019
SYNOPSIS
All her life, Rachel Winchester has fought against the idea that she was nothing but white trash destined for Loserville. Now, it seems all that fighting was for nothing. Sure, she’s running a successful B&B and, yes, she finally had her way with a man she’s crushed on for forever—Harris McCallister, the guy she’s flirted with for years; the guy she’s thought about and pined for. She’s finally feeling good about the future when—bam—she gets pregnant. True or not, in her world, nothing says white trash more than an unmarried pregnant woman. Worse, her “loving” mother is threatening her over the B&B and the property it sits on, all because of a silly legend about a pirate’s buried treasure.
Harris doesn’t know what it is about Rachel, but he’s always been drawn to her. With her brightly dyed hair and sexy-as-hell tattooed body, she’s impossible to ignore—and drives him crazy in all the best ways. Finding out she’s carrying his baby has him thinking things he’s never thought before. Thoughts he brutally pushes away. Returning to active duty as a Marine Raider is what he wants, not settling down and playing house. He’ll stick around just long enough to make sure Rachel and the baby-to-be are safe from increasingly disturbing attacks they both believe has to do with an old legend about a pirate’s buried treasure. The longer he stays, though, the tougher returning to duty is becoming. But when the time comes to head back to the Marines, he has to make the toughest decision of his life—duty to his country, or life with the woman he loves.

Release Date: February 6, 2019
SYNOPSIS
One day away from living on the streets, former pro football player Jake Hudgins has sunk to an all-time low. When he's offered a job in a fledgling program to transition athletes at the end of their playing careers, he jumps on it, even though the offer was made to the financially sound man he once was, not the broke one he is now. Taxed with being a good example for young athletes, Jake is a fraud, and his coworker is suspicious.
Aggie Hermann has come to terms with never being a size six or even a size twelve. She's made peace with her body and avoids men who see women as objects instead of looking deeper. Her new coworker, Jake, appears to be the superficial variety, and he has a secret. Aggie's certain of that, even as she struggles with the irresistible attraction between them.
Working closely together to get the job done ignites Jake and Aggie's passion until the resulting fire is sure to burn them both. Can their love survive the fallout when Jake's secret is revealed, or will it be reduced to ashes?

Fumble Recovery: Game On in Seattle by Jami Davenport
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
It's not always easy to like them, but Ms. Davenport makes it hard not to love them. Jake and Aggie are their own worst enemies. One broken heart too many has made Aggie jaded. Desperation has turned Jake into a fraud. When these two broken people cross paths It's hate at first sight. Aggie sees an egotistical jerk with something to hide. Jake sees competition and needs to succeed. Neither counts on attraction, but love could end up being the beginning of the end or more than either bargained for. Fumble Recovery is flawed, but perfect. Davenport appeals to the imperfections of the heart and body, humanizing the characters.

LITTLE LOVES (THE CHURCH DOGS OF CHARLESTON) BY MELISSA STORM
Release Date: February 7, 2019
SYNOPSIS
Some folks are born with a silver spoon jutting right out of their mouths. Others are a bit more like Miss Harmony King. That poor thing bounced in and out of so many foster homes growing up, that even my head spun circles trying to keep track of them all.
Once Harmony hit eighteen, though, she disappeared from Charleston altogether. Fast forward nearly a decade, and now she’s back, bent over a pew, and praying like her life depends on it. I’d reckon that just maybe it does.
Of course, I don’t know why this young woman left our town, and I don’t know why she’s come back now—but one thing I do know beyond the shadow of a doubt is that God meant for us to find each other again.
So I told Harmony the story of the special Chihuahuas born in our church’s nativity scene last Christmas Eve, and that our Muffin, in particular, wanted to help her if she’d let him. Yes, these Little Loves have worked miracles before, and by the grace of the Almighty, I think they might just be about to perform another…

SYNOPSIS
Playing doctor in paradise…
Raegan Reynolds never knew just how hot the spotlight could burn until it nearly destroyed her surgical career. She knows who she is now, and she won’t let any man make her forget again. All she wants is to enjoy her vacation in the Dominican Republic before she lands the role of Denver’s Graton Gift Hospital’s newest chief surgeon.
Thirty seconds. That’s all it takes for one perfect specimen of a man to take control of her passion. Under his rock-steady hands, her knees go too weak to do what she ought to do—walk away.
Women don’t make Dr. Noah Alexander’s hands go clammy—until this one. One look at her freckled nose, crooked grin and intelligent eyes, and his pulse races. But she refuses to reveal her real name.
Peeling away her layers won’t be easy, but he’s determined to make it happen. Just when he’s broken through her walls, however, Raegan’s reminded that giving into passion means sacrificing her career.
Noah’s going to prove her wrong.
He’s done playing games. For the first time where love is concerned, he’s playing for keeps.
