BEAUTY AND THE BAYOU (BOYS OF THE BAYOU) BY ERIN NICHOLAS

 

 

 

Release DateAugust 13, 2019

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

A sexy small town, beauty and the beast rom com! 

Sawyer Landry knows he's been beastly to be around for the past few months. But he can't seem to remember how to be fun-loving and friendly. Until he sees Juliet Dawson on his boat dock... and realizes that hip waders are, apparently, one of his turn-ons. But despite the beauty in the boots, the last thing he needs right now is a city girl in his way for the next two weeks. 

But he's not really getting a vote. Juliet is determined that her little brother rebuild the dock he and his idiot friends smashed. She's quirky, klutzy, independent... and possibly an even bigger pessimist than Sawyer is. He's incredibly drawn to the cynical fish-out-of-water, who seems to be the one person who isn't intimidated by his growling. 

The big, gruff boat captain is the first person in a long time to want to watch out for her and Juliet finds that hotter than his grandma's jambalaya. Well, that and his sexy scar, his emotional baggage, and the sense of humor and fun that is buried deep. 

But Sawyer doesn't need any more people to worry about long-term and the things that make him feel protective of Juliet aren't going to go away. So, this two-week adventure can't be anything more than a fling. With Juliet down on the bayou, there's an even bigger threat than alligators and hurricanes. There's the very good chance of someone ending up with a broken heart.

REVIEWBEAUTY AND THE BAYOU (BOYS OF THE BAYOU) BY ERIN NICHOLAS

 

Beauty and the Bayou (Boys of the Bayou, #3)Beauty and the Bayou by Erin Nicholas

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Sawyer and Juliet are my favorite Erin Nicholas' couple. After watching them together, it's hard for me to imagine anyone not leaving Beauty and the Bayou with a smile. She's the Beauty to his beast and boy do they set off sparks. Tragedy has made him a loner with a penchant for grouchiness. Juliet may be a tad naive, but she's no pushover. Her heart makes her fearless, although a tad clueless. They shouldn't work, but my heart kept hoping they would. Nicholas continues to enchant with her irresistible characters that charm their way into your heart.

THE RELUCTANT BOYFRIEND (BAD BOYFRIEND) BY ERIKA KELLY

 

 

 

Release DateAugust 13, 2019

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

 

Princess Gone Wild!

 

 

 

When Princess Rosalina discovers her fiancé cheating on her, she’s done being dutiful. Jumping on a plane, she lands five thousand miles away in a world of hot cowboys, jean skirts, and tequila. Grabbing her chance to fly under the radar, she plans on acting out every single fantasy she’s denied herself while trying to meet the expectations of her family and country.

 

 

 

Brodie Bowie doesn’t know what happened. One minute he’s wreaking havoc and tearing up the slopes with his brothers, and the next he’s an outsider. All of them are in serious relationships. He just can't figure out why they'd put a ring on it when there’s so much fun to be had as a single man.

 

 

 

Brodie’s not the settling down type, but then he’s never met anyone like the woman who jumps in front of his bulldozer, refusing to let him dig up his meadow. The feisty chemist and perfumer is everything he never knew he wanted.

 

 

 

Except she only wants a summer fling before she goes back to her real life . . . as a princess.

 

 

 

He doesn’t fit in her world, and there’s no way she can live in his.

 

 

 

But a love like theirs doesn't play by the rules.

REVIEWTHE RELUCTANT BOYFRIEND (BAD BOYFRIEND) BY ERIKA KELLY

 

The Reluctant Boyfriend (The Bad Boyfriend series Book 4)The Reluctant Boyfriend by Erika Kelly

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Less than perfect has never hurt so good. The wait is over, but the fun has just begun. With The Bad Boyfriend series, Kelly doesn't shy away from charming. She captivates with delectable characters that wrap themselves around a heart. The Bodie Brothers are clueless when it comes to romance, but all in when it comes to falling in love. From the first hello to the final goodbye, Rosalind and Brodie are a match made out of the unpredictable, but the sweetest kind of heaven. The Reluctant Boyfriend is the perfect example of why I am hooked on this series. SWOONWORTHY READ!

REVIEWBOOK'EM BRIDGET (IRON BADGES) BY DANIELLE NORMAN

 

Book'em Bridget (Iron Badges Book 2)Book'em Bridget by Danielle Norman

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Norman gives women something to be proud of. Book'em Bridget is proof women are more than window dressing. Bridget is a fighter. She has the courage to speak her mind, the strength to follow her heart and the guts to push back against the bullies of the world. That spirit lands her in some sticky situations and Eli tends to be the most sticky of them all. Bridget is about to learn that there are some situations where vulnerability can prove to be as powerful as the greatest of strengths. Spicy and sassy give birth to a sensational series.

UNBREAK ME BY MICHELLE HAZEN

 

 

 

Release DateAugust 13, 2019

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

What could two troubled souls from different walks of life have in common? Maybe everything.

Andra Lawler lives isolated at her family’s horse ranch, imprisoned by the memories of an assault in college. When she needs help training her foals, she hires a Haitian-Creole cowboy from New Orleans with a laugh as big as the Montana sky. 

LJ Delisle can’t stand the idea that Andra might be lonely—or eating frozen TV dinners. He bakes his way into her kitchen with a lemon velvet cake, and offers her cooking lessons that set them on the road to romance. But even their love can’t escape the shadow of what they've been through. Despite their growing friendship and his gentle rapport with the horses, LJ is still an outsider facing small-town suspicions. 

Before they can work through their issues, LJ is called home by a family emergency. In the centuries-old, raggedly rebuilt streets of New Orleans, he must confront memories of Hurricane Katrina and familiar discrimination. And Andra must decide if she’s brave enough to leave the shelter of the ranch for an uncertain future with LJ.

REVIEW: UNBREAK ME BY MICHELLE HAZEN

Unbreak MeUnbreak Me by Michelle Hazen

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Tirelessly relevant. Heartbreakingly real. Hazen pulls no punches when it comes to speaking the truth. Unbreak Me is a celebration. Andra and LJ plow though the stereotypes of life to find a love that endures. These characters are proof that power comes from within. A powerful life lesson.

CALL HER MINE (HARMONY POINTE; SUGAR LAKE) BY MELISSA FOSTER

 

 

Release DateAugust 13, 2019

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Fall in love in Harmony Pointe, where hearts are lost, found, and sometimes misplaced…and everyone get a happy ever after. 

 

If a woman can’t find love in the quaint town of Harmony Pointe, it’s sure to find them—whether they’re looking for it or not. Here, the remaining single Dalton siblings are about to discover that they’re next in line to get swept away by love. A sweet and sexy spin-off of Melissa’s beloved Sugar Lake series.

 

Ben Dalton has always been honest, except where his heart is concerned. He’s been in love with his best friend—saucy, smart-mouthed Aurelia Stark—forever. But Ben’s a planner, and timing has never been on his side. When he finally decides to make his move, Aurelia beats him to the punch with a move of her own—to a different town.

 

Aurelia loves her new life in the charming town of Harmony Pointe. She has a great apartment and her very own bookstore, and best of all, the sinfully hot, commitment-phobic friend she’s crushed on for years is no longer just around the corner. Maybe she’ll finally be able to leave her unrequited love behind and move on.

 

But when a baby is left on Ben’s front porch—a baby that is presumably his—Aurelia is there for him. Neither one knows the first thing about babies, but how hard can it be? Ben and Aurelia are catapulted into a world of love, laughter, and tracking down the baby mama, and it might even add up to a very happily ever after . . . just not one either of them expects.

REVIEW: CALL HER MINE (HARMONY POINTE; SUGAR LAKE) BY MELISSA FOSTER

 

Call Her Mine (Harmony Pointe, #1)Call Her Mine by Melissa Foster

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Senses collide with heart. Foster takes a dip on the sweet side with a hint of naughty. There's nothing hotter than a father who loves his child. There's nothing cuter than a baby who steals the show. It may not be love at first sight, but Ben is about to get a wake up call. It comes at the hands of a surprise bundle and a life long friend. Aurelia is on the move, just when Ben needs her most. After years of longing, will a baby finally bring these clueless hearts the happy ending they've secretly always craved? Call Her Mine is proof that sweet and simple can be a sexy combination. With humor and heart, heat kind of takes a backseat this time around.

TRULY MINE: MASON & SOPHIE (ROOMMATE DUET) BY KENNEDY FOX

 

 

  

Release Date: August 13, 2019

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

This is a friends-to-lovers roommate romance filled with drama, suspense, and, of course, plenty of angsty slow burn goodness you've come to expect in a Kennedy Fox book!

 

The night we met in the dimly lit bar, she looked like a brunette bombshell, and I wanted to learn her deepest secrets. With sun-kissed skin and soulful bedroom eyes, she was pure temptation, and I was mesmerized. 

As one drink led to two, I craved more of her playful banter and taunting lips. Resisting her wasn’t an option, and we quickly became a desperate mess of tangled limbs and hot kisses. She tasted like the sweetest sin, but I was no saint. 

Once we caught our breaths, and it became obvious that meeting her wasn’t a coincidence, everything changed. Now I must deny her at all costs.

Friends. It’s all we can ever be. 

After years of lying to myself and keeping her at a distance, I want to pull her close. Sophie’s on my mind more than ever as my instincts to protect her take over. Regardless of my attempts to help, she pushes me away and makes it clear she doesn’t need me. 

I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe, to show her I’m the good guy, but one night takes a tragic turn for the worse when her boyfriend and I start throwing punches. 

And ends when I’m arrested for his murder.

TRULY MINE is an angsty, slow-burn friends to lovers romance wrapped up in a tragically beautiful love story. It's book 1 in the Mason & Sophie duet and must be read first.
