💚child’s teacher

💚grumpy/sunshine

💚small town





Falling for the single dad next door wasn’t part of my plan when I moved to Blossom Peak.

I accepted the teaching job for a fresh start, far away from the controlling ex I left behind.

But Rhonan Hart is everything you could ask for in a man. Strong, dependable, helpful, an amazing father to his daughter, Ellis… and looks beyond sinful in his sheriff’s uniform.

Except his daughter is my student, and he’s determined to pretend like our connection doesn’t exist.

(I’m determined to pretend he didn’t see me naked when my shower blew up, and he tried to save me.)

But soon, he’s sneaking over to my house at night—warming my bed, tearing down his walls, and making me want something I knew I couldn’t have.

My life is a mess, one I’m still trying to clean up. 

But this man and his child give me a glimpse of a future I want, no matter what the cost.

Just when I think I’m on the path to moving on, fate decides to give us the test of time.

I just hope this is a test we both survive.

REVIEWTEST OF TIME (BLOSSOM PEAK) BY HARLOW JAMES


Test of Time (Blossom Peak #3)

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Audio/Ebook Review: Test of Time (Blossom Peak #3) by Harlow James

Narrated by Aiden Snow and Ava Erickson

With every page turn, James captures a little bit more of the heart. From spicy word play to sweet romance, Test of Time takes emotions by storm. Snow and Erickson dare to be vulnerable. A messy moment in time delivers hauntingly, unforgettable. Vienna and Rhonan turn a work in progress into a love story worth the pain of life.






#Excerpt

I close the distance between us and crush my lips to hers. When my tongue darts out to find hers, she shoves me away, but her eyes are wild and her cheeks are flushed. “What the hell, Rhonan?”


The only sound resting between us is our heavy breathing, our chests rising and falling with each labored inhale. Our eyes bounce between one another, the silence deafening even though that seems impossible.


But before I can say anything else, Vienna launches herself at me, jumping into my arms and wrapping her legs around my waist, smashing her lips back to mine.


My adrenaline kicks in, closing her front door behind me and then spinning around, pinning her up against it while our tongues clash and my cock presses against my zipper. I thrust my erection right between her legs, spurring a moan from deep in her throat, but Vienna doesn’t miss a beat. She writhes against me, creating the friction I know she needs.


“God, you’re infuriating,” she mumbles against my lips.


“I’m aware. You’re not a saint either, you know.”


Vienna deepens our kiss, yanking on the strands of my hair between her fingers. “God, Rhonan. Yes.”


Our mouths continue to move over one another, and even though I know I should stop this—whatever the hell this is—my body won’t let me.



Meet Harlow James:

Steamy Romance Author

Harlow James is a pen name I use to protect my identity as a high school teacher. Keeping those two roles in my life separate is necessary, but also fun! It’s like a live two lives, and anonymity gives me the opportunity to be bold and take risks in my stories.

I stumbled upon romance novels in 2018 when I picked up Driven by Kristy Bromberg, and I was obsessed. I had just lost my grandmother too, so reading offered me an escape from reality and a chance to grieve on my own terms.

About a year later, I got an idea for my own book and started writing. I researched self-publishing and jumped in with both feet. I had no idea what I was doing!

But now I’ve built a business and hobby that I LOVE! I have an outlet that’s just for me. When I write, I’m not a mom, a wife, or a teacher…I’m a woman who gets to tell stories that no one else can.

My books are the perfect blend of heartwarming moments, full-bellied laughs, and PLENTY of steam to melt your Kindles 😉 And there are always elements of me sprinkled in to every character and story that I write.

When I’m not writing you can find me reading or spending time in my kitchen. I love to cook and feed my family and friends. Otherwise, you can find me watching comedy specials with my husband, camping with our kids, or taking naps. I live for naps 😉

Why you need to #ONECLICK this book…

🔥Bad boy/good girl

🩷Brother’s best friend

🔥Office romance

🩷Opposites attract

🔥Billionaire

🩷He falls first

🔥Forbidden love

🩷Not good enough for her

🔥Alpha

🩷Protector

🔥1st person POV

He’s the bad boy my family warned me about—and the one man I can’t have.

I just landed the job of my dreams—planning the Miami Thunder football team’s 50th-anniversary celebration—and I can’t afford distractions. Especially not tattooed billionaire and reformed troublemaker Lucas Carras. He exudes alpha-hero intensity, but he’s been off limits for as long as I’ve known him.

But the kickoff party is happening at the nightclub he co-owns with my brother… and with my sibling out of town, I’m stuck working with Lucas.

Forced proximity ignites the desire we’ve both been pretending doesn’t exist. From bedrooms to storage rooms, the scorching tension causes us to cross every line we swore we wouldn’t. On paper, we’re complete opposites. In reality, the chemistry is undeniable.

This party is everything I’ve worked for—my moment to prove myself. Until the sabotage starts.

Orders vanish. Vendors back out. Someone is determined to ruin the anniversary… and my reputation along with it.

Suddenly Lucas isn’t just a distraction. He’s my protector, my anchor, and the only man I trust to stand by my side.

But when my brother finds out about us, family drama explodes. And I’m torn between being the good girl who plays by the rules... and falling for trouble.

Perfect for fans of Carly Phillips and high-heat sports romance, Falling for Trouble features a possessive hero, high-stakes suspense, and a guaranteed HEA.

HAPPY BOOK WEEK

Tempting The Seal by Shaw Hart is #nowavailable!

https://geni.us/TemptingTheSeal

Available with Kindle Unlimited


"Hart brings the heat while Jackson and Fern bring the soul. Romance that breaks all the rules to steal your breath and own your heart." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




Neither of them planned for this.

Fern:
I’ve orchestrated dozens of perfect weddings, but planning my cousin’s lavish seaside ceremony might be my breaking point.
Between demanding relatives and last-minute disasters, I’m close to losing my mind.
The only bright spot is the quiet, watchful man stationed near the doors.
The second I see Jackson, I forget all about floral arrangements and the stress of my job.
When he looks at me, I feel things that I've never felt before.
He’s a Navy SEAL, a man built for danger and discipline, and for some reason, every time I smile at him, his jaw tightens like I’m a problem he can’t solve.
I tell myself not to care, that a man like him would never be interested in me, but I can't seem to help myself.
I want the sexy SEAL.
I just have no idea how to make that happen.

Jackson:
I’m only doing security at this fancy coastal wedding as a favor to my friend.
The job is supposed to be easy.
Just smile. Scan the exits. Stay professional.
That was the plan… until I see her.
Fern, with her warm eyes, mouthwatering curves, and sugar-sweet smiles.
One look and I know I don’t just want a week with her.
I want everything.
Now I just need to convince her that we’re meant to be and that the next wedding she’s planning needs to be ours.

✨WORST FAKING IDEA by @angelacasellaauthor releasing May 14th!


Why you need to #ONECLICK this book…

🔥(secret) fake relationship

🔥reunited with high school nemesis

🔥opposites attract

🔥hot nerd hero

🔥he falls first

🔥horrible double dates




Blurb:

Their secret fake relationship began with a little white lie...

Nora

My ginger beer brewery is, quite literally, my life.

Unfortunately, my male business partner's new fiancée is insanely jealous. It's only a matter of time before she forces him to quit, which means we'll both lose the business we love.

So I ask him what will get her to back down.

A boyfriend.

I make one up, telling her it's too early to introduce him, which works right up until she walks in on a heated private conversation between me and Cormac, my soon-to-be stepbrother.

She comes to a wild conclusion: the reason I'm keeping my boyfriend secret is because it's him.

I know I should set her straight. Cormac is the last person I'd ever date, and not just because our parents are about to get married. He's awkward, introverted, and has the people skills of a houseplant.

But I'm desperate enough to tell the worst lie ever.

Cormac

Nora makes me an offer any sane man would refuse.

She wants me to be her secret fake boyfriend–an act that only has to work on two people.

In exchange, she promises to help me brush up my dating skills.

It doesn't seem like much of a bargain, to be honest. She's been prickly since high school and isn't much of a charmer herself, but I agree because I've promised my father I'll try to get along with her.

But the more time Nora and I spend together, the more I realize that I'd like our secret fake relationship to be real.

**A standalone romcom in the Babes of Brewing series.**

Note: There are TWO different versions of this romcom:

1) A spicy open door version with some strong language and sex scenes

2) A closed door version with mild language and only kissing.

Please choose the version that's best for you!

"I left the only man I’ll ever love..."


Tyson Rainier’s music ignited my soul, but his love consumed me. We were instant soul mates, until one devastating choice shattered us. I walked away to save him—believing I had no other option. Now, eight years later, fate throws us together again. He’s a vanguard, the most coveted man in the world and the voice of our generation—drowning in fame and heartbreak, all because of me.


"She ripped out my heart and threw it away..."


Zoey Pearson was my perfect muse and showered me with a love I never thought I deserved, then tore it all away. One moment, we were everything; the next, I was left with nothing. Her betrayal became my fuel. Every heartbreak anthem I wrote catapulted my band, Less Than Zero, into legendary status. But no amount of fame or success could fill the void she left behind.


When Ty & Zoey’s worlds collide again, the fire between them is undeniable, but the wounds run deep. Will they rewrite the ending to their story and prove true love is ENDLESS?

I’m a city girl through and through. But a single dad and his adorable daughter are starting to make small town Angel Mountain feel a lot like home…

Landing a job with a big-city publisher was my dream come true. But causing the scandal that ended my career before it really got started turned it into more of a nightmare. And ever since “the incident,” no other publishing company will even give me the time of day.

So when I get the chance to take over a small-town bookshop in the Pocono Mountains, it feels like fate. Running my own little shop isn’t exactly my area of expertise. But at least it’s a life surrounded by books, which is all I ever really wanted.

It’s not easy. But somehow, through all the surprises and growing pains, it’s thoughts of Roan Connelly that keep me up at night. The local Christmas tree farmer has a little girl who lights up my whole heart like the north star. And it probably doesn’t help that he’s also unbelievably gorgeous and so kind that it sometimes brings tears to my eyes, or that he smells like pine trees and paradise.

But I’m clearly barking up the wrong Douglas Fir, since the rugged single dad seems content to ignore the smoldering chemistry that’s building between us. I guess some things just aren’t meant to be, no matter how hard you try to stay on Santa’s nice list.

Now, with a big snowstorm on the way, the bookshop in real trouble, and Roan’s little daughter longing for an unlikely Christmas gift, my only hope is that against all odds, the stars will somehow align for the three of us, and for the little town that I’m starting to love…

Oh Little Town is a clean & wholesome Christmas romance, perfect for anyone who loves a lighthearted holiday rom-com and a happily-ever-after.

If you love no spice romance books and you’re a fan of stories with tropes like: Single Dad, Small town, Christmas Holiday, Grumpy & Sunshine, Snowed-in, and more, this is the series for you!


REVIEW: OH LITTLE TOWN (ANGEL MOUNTAIN CHRISTMAS: A SWEET SMALL TOWN ROMANCE) BY CLARA PINES


Oh Little Town (Angel Mountain Christmas #3)
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love, life and heartache are in store with every flip of the page. Pines puts emotions on notice with a sweetness that is as haunting as it is endearing. Taylor, Roan and Meg give the soul a reason to swoon.

Logan
I prefer to be left alone.
I spend my days at my cabin, working, and that’s the way I like it.

She’s still in danger, though, and my bear and I will do anything to protect our mate.
Now that we’ve found her, we’ll never let her go.
We just need to figure out a way to tell Vivian that.

Now I need to come up with another plan to put some distance between me and the cult.
Except, my savior seems to have other plans.

Do I run away and find somewhere far away, somewhere safe, or do I stay with my guard and trust that he’ll always keep me safe?
