Our bond was supposed to be a formality, but it's far more powerful than that...

After the magical mishap at the Merrow Tea Spot grand re-opening, Kas and I must figure out why our bond has my magic on the fritz. Our mothers say a curse was placed on both of our warring families, and our marriage is meant to usher in a truce. I have other suspicions, and an elder witch soon confirms them: this marriage is more than symbolic. It's connected to the magical rift that's kept our families at odds for generations.

As we dig into family histories, Kas and I uncover old betrayals, secrets, and magic gone horribly wrong. But every step we take to unravel the past brings us closer together—and closer to the truth behind the bad blood.

Just as Kas and I are on the verge of a breakthrough, we stumble onto something sinister. Someone is working hard to keep us apart and ensure that the feud between our families lives on. Suddenly, the rift between us feels as strong as it ever has. Now I'm terrified we'll be forced to choose between healing our clans and protecting the unexpected love we've found in one another.

BLURB

Ryan
Some might say I’m running away. I prefer to look at it as an extended vacation, from social media, the paparazzi, and my very public life back in Los Angeles.
That’s why I rented a small cabin in the woods in Nowhere, Wisconsin. I needed an escape and time to lick my wounds from a breakup. What I wasn’t expecting was Marcus Wright, the most frustrating man on the face of the planet, to be right next door. Our chemistry is undeniable, and it doesn’t take long to realize a summer fling is just what the doctor ordered.
Our time has a deadline though, and at the end of a month, I’m going back home to Los Angeles. Problem is, despite Marcus’s grumpy demeanor, I’m not sure I want to.

Marcus
My days, and some of my nights, are spent working on vehicles in my shop. Working and living in my hometown of Pine Village is where I’m comfortable, where I belong.
My quiet little world is disrupted the day Ryan Marcotte rolls into town in her high heels and designer clothes. She’s the exact opposite of me, a spoiled rich girl who pushes my buttons like no other. She’s famous, has her own TV show, and is only here for a short time. I’m also wildly attracted to her. I try to fight it, but the pull is too strong. So when she suggests a little no-strings fun, I’m all in.
Unfortunately, our private bubble is popped the moment fans discover her location. All good things must come to an end. I just wasn’t expecting my heart to be so invested.

Penalty Shot by Jami Davenport releases on May 29th!

https://geni.us/PenaltyShot

Available on All Platforms




You met Juniper in Shutout. Now she gets her story.


LEVI:


My relationship with Juniper is all fun and games until my heart enters the equation.


I'm a rookie pro hockey center who's touted to be a future star in the league. I have a rep to uphold as a player on and off the field. Along comes Junie. She's six years older than me, and there's something to be said about older being better. She's unlike any other woman I've dated, but therein lies the problem. I'm not relationship material. When my battered heart becomes involved, I cut and run. Call me a coward, and you'd probably be right. Caring about someone gives them power to do irreparable damage, and I vow to never again allow anyone that kind of control.


JUNIPER:


Ever since the divorce from my abusive husband I've been playing the field - and loving it. I'm not interested in a relationship, only a good time. Levi and I have a casual situation that suits us both until out of the blue Levi ends it. I've always been able to bounce back and move on, but this time, I can't stop thinking about him and how good we were together. Regardless, he did me a favor. I'm starting a new career as the team chef. I can't afford distractions and he's a huge one. Now I'm forced to see him every day. When he suggests we get back together, I resist on the surface, but deep-down I want him so badly I can't think straight. Still, I have other problems to tackle. Someone's sabotaging my position with the Sockeyes, and I'm certain I know who it is.


Despite my convictions to steer clear of Levi, I'm too weak, and we're barreling toward our fate at light speed. I'm not sure we'll survive the crash.

Book 2 in the brand new romance series, Eagles Hockey: Oak Ridge Vineyards, by USA Today Bestselling Author Elise Faber.


I’m not looking for forever.

My gorgeous, billionaire neighbor has decided otherwise.

I’ve been burned by enough bad ex-boyfriends to know that love isn’t in the cards for me. I work hard, keep my head down, and avoid all romantic attachments like the plague.

The only trouble? The infuriating man who lives just down the hall doesn’t seem to understand that.

Jace Henderson is beautiful, rich, and his veneer of perpetual, carefree bachelor is hiding a soft heart.

A possessive heart.

Because he’s decided he wants me.

Not just for one night.

But forever.

And the worst part is…the more time I spend with him, the more I think I want forever too.

Bracing The Storm by @authorjcreed 


"Passion burns bright, heartache runs deep and understanding is an uphill battle. Reed blends turbulent attraction and endearing romance to create a storm worth bracing yourself for. Bracing the Storm is electric." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)








Why you will love this book…
❤️ Small Town
❤️ Enemies to Lovers
❤️ Forced Proximity
❤️ Hot Rock Star
❤️ Sassy Heroine
❤️ Grumpy/Sunshine

From New York Times Bestselling Author, J.C. Reed, comes a new, hot, romantic novel.

The guy I just met at the mansion I inherited from a complete stranger? He's drop-dead gorgeous. Sexy. And rude with a Capital R. Turns out he's not the hot gardener as I wrongly assumed. He's not only a famous rockstar who grew up in the house, he's also ready to fight for it. And being both hot-headed and Irish, he's going to fight hard and dirty. I'm not moving out. Full Stop.

But neither is he.

So we agree on some simple rules.

We'll play roommates for a while. What could possibly go wrong? Living together with an Irish Hothead will surely cause a major storm. Let's hope bracing that storm won't turn into a hurricane.



REVIEW: BRACING THE STORM BY J.C. REED


Bracing the Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A raging of hearts that's fighting to be heard. Lori and Patrick bring every emotion to the surface with cataclysmic results. Passion burns bright, heartache runs deep and understanding is an uphill battle. Reed blends turbulent attraction and endearing romance to create a storm worth bracing yourself for. Bracing the Storm is electric.

This Feeling by @authorkellyelliott is releasing May 27, 2025!


"A bundle of hijinx that stirs up the senses and sticks to the heart." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




Is there anything worse than getting dumped by your boyfriend in a very public, very humiliating way? How about agreeing to fake-date the jerk to help get his matchmaking mother off his back and make his new love interest jealous?


My friends and family don’t think so, but I’m getting Giants season tickets out of the deal. I can do anything for a short couple of months, right? However, when my ex’s sexier older brother, Delcan, moves back home, I realize I’m not that confident after all.


For five years, I’ve avoided Moose Village, New York, as much as possible for one reason: the girl I’ve crushed on since high school was already spoken for—by my brother. Now discharged from the military, I’m coming home, tentatively heartened by the fact that they’re no longer a couple. Except…it seems they are. But something’s different this time. Harper doesn’t seem as smitten as she was the first time around. Meanwhile, the chemistry sizzling between us is what I’ve dreamed of for years.


Even if I’m able to get to the bottom of the weird behavior between my brother and Harper, I’ve gone from one dangerous career to another. I’ve already got my anxious mother badgering me to quit. Will my career choice be too much for Harper, too?


I can only hope this feeling between the two of us is enough.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A bundle of hijinx that stirs up the senses and sticks to the heart. Elliott keeps the emotion and sprinkles in bits of humor. This Feeling is an ironic, captivation that delivers vulnerable and strength with a burst of hope. Elliott steps outside of her comfort zone with soulful results.

Thunder Pass by Jennifer Bernard releases on May 27th!

https://geni.us/ThunderPass

Available on All Platforms





She ran from a cult. He’s chasing a ghost. Together, they might just outrun the past.

Ruth Chilkoot has daddy issues. She thought they were taken care of when her father Luke went to prison. But suddenly he’s back, and the family is becoming more cult-like than ever. It’s time for Ruth to make her escape. Nearby Firelight Ridge is eye-opening for a woman who’s spent her life in seclusion. She’s already learned the hard way—courtesy of the handsome local mechanic—that a kiss doesn’t equal marriage in the “real” world. Thanks to that humiliation, she keeps her distance from Gunnar. Fortunately, she has something to focus on—discovering what nefarious plans her father is concocting at the family compound.

Gunnar Amundsen also has daddy issues. His father Anthony disappeared from Firelight Ridge years ago and hasn’t been seen since. But Gunnar knows his dad’s still alive, and so he’s stayed in the tiny Alaskan village, running the only gas station, becoming entrenched in his community…and trying to forget the shy, beguiling redhead from the Chilkoot clan he never should have kissed. Fortunately, his half-sister gives him a mystery to chase—someone has spotted their father. His trail, shockingly, leads right back to the Chilkoots.

As Ruth and Gunnar’s investigations converge, the pair gets closer and closer. But the revelations they uncover about both their fathers are just the start. Powerful outside forces have set their sights on the tiny outpost, and it’ll be up to Ruth and Gunnar to save the town…right after they save each other.

Soldier's Fake Fiancée by Clara Pines is #NowLive!

https://geni.us/SoldiersFakeFiancee

FREE with Kindle Unlimited


"Beau and Quinn are a dance with heartache ..... Pines brings emotion to life with haunting characters and irresistible romance." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)





This military mechanic can fix anything, except his own broken heart…

Beau Wilson’s past is littered with mistakes. But he has two things going for him—the know-how that only an Army-trained mechanic can boast, and his fierce, funny, four-year-old daughter Zandy. Between his two good things, this single dad figures he has the skills and the motivation to make it in his dream job at a repair shop, and give little Zandy the life she deserves.

So, when his mom tells him she’s retiring and leaving him the Christmas tree farm that’s been in the Wilson family for generations, he can see his dreams falling apart before his eyes.

Quinn Allen loves helping living things grow. She’s been saving forever, but she’ll probably never have enough to buy a farm of her own, so running the Wilson Tree Farm is the next best thing. But now the owner’s son is home and the handsome single dad doesn’t even seem to appreciate the incredible gift he’s about to get.

When the two realize that they might both be able to follow their dreams—but only if everyone thinks they’re getting married—it feels like they just might have the perfect solution to all their problems.

A fake engagement seems so simple—at first.

But what happens if one of them doesn’t have a gift for lying?

And what if Beau realizes Quinn might just be the third good thing in his life?

As unwanted feelings start to crop up on the farm, the whole plan is thrown into chaos. It just might take a Christmas miracle (and the wisdom of a four-year-old) to bring this pretend family a very real happily-ever-after.

Trinity Falls Sweet Romance is all about finding family – one clean & wholesome romance at a time. The Trinity Falls Sweet Romance: Home for Christmas series celebrates a group of men coming home to a small Pennsylvania town at Christmastime, and finding love and meaning in the season.




REVIEW: SOLDIER'S FAKE FIANCEE (TRINITY FALLS SWEET ROMANCE: HOME FOR CHRISTMAS) BY CLARA PINES

Soldier's Fake Fiancée: Trinity Falls Sweet Romance - Home for Christmas - Book 3
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Clara Pines brings emotion to life with haunting characters and irresistible romance. Soldier's Fake Fiancee breathes soul. Beau and Quinn are a dance with heartache that finds it's redemption within the journey.

This is her last chance at love...


Charlotte's Reckoning by Romantic Fiction by Maddie Taylor joins the Jackson Brothers series on June 6. 
Preorder your copy today!! 



🔗 https://geni.us/CharlottesReckoning




A reformed outlaw might be this troubled saloon owner’s last chance at love… and survival.

Miss Charlotte, co-owner of the Red Eye Saloon, has weathered every crude remark imaginable for a woman in her vocation. Though the insults sting, her inner strength pushes through the pain and makes the most of the tough hand she’s been dealt. She didn’t choose this life; greed, betrayal, violence, and death thrust her into it. Now fate has returned in the form of a dangerous con man masquerading as her partner’s brother. With her livelihood threatened, her only hope lies with the new law in town, a man from her past she can’t forget, and the only one she still trusts.

Seth Walker, a bounty hunter with a notorious past, never intended to settle. But his reputation for outwitting fugitives leads Mayor Aaron Jackson to tap the clever and capable outlaw to be Laramie’s new sheriff. While booming, the frontier town is still rough and untamed, and the prominent red-light district is teeming with the dregs of society. There he finds a familiar face transformed, a fiery spirit battling a world determined to break her. Charlotte’s survival hangs in the balance, and Seth is the one man who can save her.

Despite their undeniable attraction, Charlotte resists Seth’s charm, determined not to let his ruin be the price he pays for rescuing her. But he is as relentless as he is handsome and doesn’t care what the townsfolk say. Can he convince her that their powerful connection is worth fighting for? Will her hero help her reclaim the dream of love and family she thought was forever beyond her reach?

About Maddie:

USA Today and #1 international bestselling author, Maddie is a lifelong reader who became a romance junkie as a teen with her first romance novel, The Wolf and the Dove by Kathleen Woodiwiss. From then on, she was hooked, and gobbled up everything she could get her hands on, whether contemporary, historical, paranormal or sci-fi. If there was romance to be found between a strong alpha male, and a sassy, adventurous and ofttimes defiant yet loving woman, Maddie was all over it. As an author, she stays true to those themes writing steamy erotic romance, with a side of kink, and adding elements of intrigue, danger and suspense to her plots.

Maddie started writing as a hobby. Her stories stayed private while she raised a family and worked full time as a registered nurse. It wasn't until 2012 that she decided to take the plunge and submit her first book for publication: Captain My Captain. She went on to publish eleven novels the first year.

Escape. Survive. Rebel.

When Alex and I were taken by the Wolf, I never expected to see our home again.

But we had no idea how devious Earth’s most dangerous warlord really was.

Or how deep the corruption of our own government ran.

The Wolf continues to mess with our memories, for reasons we haven’t yet figured out, even as he uses us for his pleasure, sharing us with whoever he pleases. In between, we plan our escape, determined to return home.

And when a group of the Moon’s most important government officials visit us, we finally have our chance.

We’ll return. Then we’ll do everything in our power to free our people from the corruption and oppression happening right beneath their noses.

Because I would rather die than live the rest of my days in another cage. No matter how gilded it may be.
