SWEET SURRENDER

Becca can handle his rambunctious twins in the classroom. But teaching Zane to open his heart would take a Christmas miracle…

Zane Lawrence doesn’t need anything but the family dairy farm and his seven-year-old twin boys for his life to be complete. The single dad works hard all day and chases the boys around the farm all night. His life is a little chaotic – but there’s a delicate balance to it.

So when a pretty young teacher at the boys’ school tries to interfere with some big ideas about their education, Zane isn’t about to let her throw their world off-kilter. After all, she’s new to the school and Sugarville Grove. And it’s bad enough that she’s meddling in his business, but the fact that he’s desperately attracted to her makes him furious with himself.

New teacher Becca Hawthorne sees the Lawrence twins struggling despite their potential and reaches out to their dad right away, excited about her first opportunity to make a real difference. It's crystal clear how much Zane Lawrence loves his boys, so Becca doesn’t expect him to be so offended at her attempts to help. Anyone can see that the man has deep wounds, but his reaction to her feels almost personal. She’s not about to let it stop her from fighting for his kids, though.

When he finally relents, Becca is sure that her dealings with the single dad are over. But for some reason, she suddenly finds herself bumping into Zane Lawrence at every turn. Whether it’s the store, the post office, or the flurry of holiday events in town, she can’t seem to stop seeing the handsome cowboy everywhere she goes.

Did Santa send these lonesome souls a pair of holiday matchmakers for Christmas? And how long can they keep denying what seems so obvious to everyone else before they finally surrender?


REVIEWSWEET SURRENDER (SUGARVILLE GROVE) BY CLARA PINES

Sweet Surrender (A Small Town Christmas Romance): Sugarville Grove - Book 3
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

With a few words, a big heart and irresistible characters, Pines is proof that you can leave a lasting impression. Sweet Surrender is emotion at it's finest. From funny to frustrating and painful to inspiring, Zane and Becca have a whole lot to say.




CHRISTMAS PROMISES

Laney Gray thought she had her life all figured out—until her fairytale wedding turned into a public betrayal. Jilted at the altar and humiliated by the very people she trusted most, Laney flees the city for Sugarville Grove, the picturesque small town where she once spent her happiest summers. Seeking solace in her aunt’s charming bookstore, Laney hopes to piece her life back together in time for Christmas.

What she doesn’t expect is to run into Nolan Hayes—the quiet, bookish boy who stole her heart one magical summer. Now an English professor with a steady presence and a smile that still makes her knees weak, Nolan is no longer the shy teenager Laney remembers. But as their paths cross amidst twinkling lights and snow-covered streets, the connection between them feels as familiar—and as powerful—as ever.

Laney may be a city girl out of her element in Sugarville Grove, but as she works to rebuild the bookstore’s holiday traditions, she finds herself drawn not only to the town’s simple charms but also to Nolan’s quiet strength. Yet, both carry scars from the past—hers from a shattered engagement, and his from a heartbreak he’s never shared.

Can the magic of Christmas help Laney and Nolan find the courage to take a second chance on love? Or will old wounds keep them from the happy ending they’ve been waiting for all along?

PREORDER ALERT





Available on All Platforms




Remember those age-old deals made between high school sweethearts?
The one where, if you’re both single at thirty, you’ll get married?
Well, guess who just walked back into my life…

Turning thirty shouldn’t be a big deal—unless you’re a minor league hockey player starting to realize the big leagues might never call. It’s a tough pill to swallow.

But then, out of nowhere, I get my shot. The L.A. Phantoms are in the playoffs for the first time in decades, and with their roster decimated by injuries, they call me up.

I’m ready to warm the bench, but with a solid season behind me, they’re willing to give me some ice time. This is the chance of a lifetime. Until she walks in.

My first love. The one I never forgot.

She’s the head of PR for the Phantoms, and we haven’t seen each other in years—not since the night we agreed to forego love to chase our dreams, and maybe find our way back to each other someday.

I just didn’t expect that day to be today.

Dating her could risk everything we’ve both worked for.

How are we supposed to choose between the future we’ve dreamed of and the past we never let go of?


REVIEWPLAYOFF (LA PHANTOMS) BY KAT MIZERA 

Playoff (L.A. Phantoms Book 4)
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mizera knows her way around a heart and it shows. With every character she creates and every story that she writes that depth of emotion gets deeper. Playoff, drives that point home. From past regrets to forbidden romance, this is a love story that gets under your skin.

Release DateMarch 11, 2025


He's an FBI agent who always plays by the rules. She's a hacker seeking revenge. Neither expected to find love while exposing a conspiracy that reached the highest levels of power.


PERSHING "ADMIRAL" KANE
When asked to help with the investigation into the murder of a colleague, I know I’ll have to recuse myself as mounting evidence is discovered that suggests my own cousin is the main suspect. Then, I meet Alice Gordon—brilliant, beautiful, and determined to avenge that colleague’s death, who I learn was her sister. As we uncover a web of corruption that reaches from organized crime to the highest levels of government, I find myself falling for the one woman who couldn’t be less “my type.” With enemies closing in and trust in short supply, we'll have to decide if the truth is worth dying for—and if love can bloom in the shadow of betrayal at the hands of those we believed we were closest to.


ALICE "CHESHIRE" GORDON
My sister's death was no accident. As a hacker who exposes corporate corruption, I know how to uncover secrets—but nothing prepared me for discovering Sarah's connection to the FBI and the dangerous game she was playing. Now, with help from Agent Pershing Kane, aka Admiral, I'm diving deeper into a conspiracy that threatens everything we hold dear. He's everything I never knew I needed—strong, protective, and willing to break the rules to find justice. But with corrupt agents gunning for us and a criminal empire that wants us silenced, our growing feelings could either be our greatest vulnerability or our salvation.

Code Name: Admiral (Special Forces: Operation Alpha; K19 Sentinel Cyber #1)Code Name: Admiral by Heather Slade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The thrill of the chase is on full display. With every twist and turn, Slade holds onto emotions a little bit tighter. There's never a dull moment. Admiral and Alice bring the heat of temptation and the hearts of warriors. Code Name: Admiral is an equal opportunity thriller. Forget the damsel in distress, she doesn't need a hero. She can rescue herself, but she may lose her heart along the way. Rough around the edges, soft around the heart.

 NOTHING BREAKS LIKE A HEART by Barbara Freethy releases February 18th! 










Release DateFebruary 18, 2025


The strongest lies aren’t the ones we tell others—they’re the ones we tell ourselves.

I thought I'd found my fairy tale ending when Andrew Chadwick saved my life during a hotel fire and gave me a whirlwind love story I didn’t think existed. But trusting him made me vulnerable, and believing in the impossible made me an easy target.

Six months later, we're celebrating our dream wedding at an exclusive island resort, where every luxury imaginable is at our fingertips. It should be perfect. It should be paradise. But it's not.

Trust is a fragile thing, and as cracks begin to form in our perfect life, I realize I might not know my new husband at all. The man I trusted with my heart is keeping dangerous secrets—and the closer I get to unraveling them, the more I realize it's not just my heart at risk…it's my life.

TEASER ALERT




He wants to watch as she breaks for him...


Have you preordered Bet On Me, Daddy by Stella Moore yet?

It releases in ONE WEEK!






Do you know what I love most about brats, Ruby Red?”


“What, Sir?”


“Watching them break.”

Years ago, I made a promise to myself. That I would never again put myself at the mercy of a man.

Especially a man as sinfully rich and gorgeous as Beckett Stone.

Until the day a stupid little bet put me exactly where I swore I’d never be again. On my knees, ready to surrender it all for two little words.

Good girl.

I keep telling myself it’s casual. Just a club fling I can walk away from whenever I want.

And I should. Walk away, that is.

Because I’m not the only one with a shattered past. The ghosts that haunt Beckett’s dark, brooding eyes tug at my heartstrings. They make me want to forget all the promises I’ve made for myself. To throw caution to the wind and beg him to take a chance on me. On us.

To beg him to Bet on Me, Daddy.
