BOOKS AT A GLANCE



BOOK 1: FAKE IT (Until It’s Real)




Author: Tina Gallagher

Status: https://geni.us/fakeit

Tropes: Fake DatingForced Proximity • Cinnamon Roll Hero • Matchmaking Dog • Blue Collar Hero

The Vibe: The "Found Family" book club introduction

One-Liner: At book club, Jess argued that fake dating never leads to real feelings. Caleb is her plot twist.


The Blurb

She's afraid she's too much. He's convinced he'll never be enough.

Maplemoor is Jess Harper's fresh start. A quiet place to rebuild after a future that never happened. Now she has a book club that feels like family, a coffee shop that knows her order, and a life that finally feels steady again.

What she doesn't have is a date to her best friend's wedding—the one where her ex and his brand-new fiancée will also be there.

Enter Caleb Ward. Dependable. Steady. The kind of man who shows up before you even have to ask—for everyone except himself. He's got a life in Maplemoor that works for him, but when it comes to love, he keeps his walls firmly in place—and exactly where he wants them.

Agreeing to be Jess's date to the wedding is just a favor. Nothing more.

Until it isn't.

One weekend together. One very convincing performance.

Turns out the line between pretending and real is thinner than either of them thought. The hard part is knowing which side they're on.



BOOK 2: FIGHT IT (Until We Can’t)




Author: Cissy Mecca

Status: Coming May 12th, preorder will be in back of book one when published

Tropes: Rivals to Lovers • Forced Proximity • He Falls First • Workplace Tension • Small Town vs. Big Corporate

Tagline: He’s hired to find the cracks. She’s the operations manager who will make sure he doesn't.


The Blurb:

He's a property analyst hired to find the cracks. 

She's the operations manager who will make sure he doesn't.

Carli Porter runs The Lochwell like it's hers. The coffee shop is her living room. Its book club members are her family. The residents are her friends. The pub is her Friday night. The only problem? The building belongs to someone else, and that someone just sent his best friend to decide its fate.

Alexander Grassi is smart and annoyingly hard to hate. He also has the kind of forearms that make it very difficult to stay mad at him. (She's tried. It hasn't worked.) He's supposed to write a report, hand it over to his friend and leave. He wasn't supposed to start showing up to trivia night. Or turning her coffee cup so the handle faces her. Or looking at her like she's the best thing in a building full of things worth saving.

She says his report could ruin her life.

He says she's not wrong.

She says that's makes him the last person she should want around.

He says he's staying anyway.

Because some legacies (and people) are worth fighting for.



BOOK 3: LOVE HIM (But Didn't Mean To)

Author: Tina Gallagher

Status: Coming May 26th

Tropes: Second Chance Romance • Single Parent • High School Sweethearts • Older Characters

Tagline: He was supposed to be a memory. Not a second chance.



BOOK 4: HATE HIM (But Not Really)

Author: Cissy Mecca

Status: Coming June 9th

Tropes: Enemies to Lovers • Grumpy/Sunshine • Landlord/Tenant • Forced Proximity

Tagline: She’s a romance-skeptic coffee shop owner facing eviction. He’s the grumpy landlord who’s about to lose his heart to his most difficult tenant.

#ExcerptReveal






DR. DEMPSEY by @authorgracemaxwell releasing April 6th!


"...haunting characters and soulful emotion. Dr. Dempsey takes a stroll down heartbreak road to get to maybe this time avenue. From unpredictable to irresistible is a beautiful mess that runs wild and cuts deep." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)


#Excerpt

I’m reaching for coffee beans, proud of how functional and normal I’m being, when a voice cuts through the music overhead. Low. Warm. Threaded with laughter that once curled through my chest and stayed there.


I freeze. No, no, no. That can’t be him.


I tell myself it’s someone else. There must be other men in Paradise with voices that sound like warm whiskey. 


I turn my head, slow and unwilling. And there he is.


Alaric Dempsey.


He looks older than the last time I saw him three years ago, but better.


Every bit of healing I’ve done since then fractures.


Then panic grips me. I haven’t washed my hair in three days. I have a coffee drip on the front of my sweater. There’s a pimple on my chin, and my period has me bloated. I wanted to see him when I looked my best—so he’d know he didn’t break me. 


I duck behind a display of cereal boxes and peek through a gap. 


Brilliant move, Liz. Real dignified.


Somewhere inside, the rational part of me asks, What are you doing? The rest of me whispers, Survival strategy.


The brunette leans closer. Alaric says something that makes her laugh again. 


My stomach twists. “I’m invisible,” I whisper. “Just another shopper.” I take a breath. I can do this. 


I shift, trying to get feeling back in my legs, and bump the cereal tower, which wobbles. Oh shit!


Too late.


The display tips in a glorious slow-motion disaster. Boxes tumble and crash into the apple pyramid. Honeycrisps scatter like marbles, rolling across the tile. One bounces off my boot and spins under a cart. A man in a puffy jacket swerves to avoid it.


The brunette yelps. Someone gasps.


Alaric turns.


Our eyes meet through the chaos.


Recognition hits like a power line sparking in the snow. Surprise. Then that slow, dangerous smile that used to be my undoing.


I don’t need groceries that bad.

🔥Medical Romance

🔥Work Romance

🔥Small Town

🔥Second Chance

🔥Family Drama

🔥Forced Proximity





He left with a goodbye.

I learned how to live without him.

Now we’re in the same town—and the past is wide awake.

Alaric

Liz Ward is the woman I loved.

She’s also the woman I walked away from.

I told myself leaving was the right choice. That going back to Paradise meant being there for my family.

I convinced myself she’d move on.

She didn’t.

Neither did I.

Now Liz is here in Paradise—she’s brilliant, capable, and here for the job she’s earned.

And someone in Paradise is making sure she doesn’t get to keep either.

The sabotage starts quietly. Easy to dismiss.

I don’t dismiss it.

Because I know her. I know when something’s wrong. And I know this is my fault as much as anyone’s.

I lost her once by choosing absence.

This time, I choose her.

Liz

Alaric Dempsey broke my heart with a goodbye and no explanation.

I thought Vancouver was forever.

Then my brother moved. My best friend followed. My parents chased the sun to Mexico. When the perfect job opened up in Paradise, I took it.

A clean start.

Or so I thought.

The job turns hostile fast. Files disappear. Mistakes pile up. Someone wants me gone—and the last person I want watching it happen is Alaric.

He’s still calm. Still controlled. Still looking at me like I never stopped mattering.

A business trip to Hawaii and one hotel room makes it impossible to pretend I’m over him.

His family drama makes it impossible to keep things simple. And the man who once left is suddenly the one standing between me and the fallout.

I survived being abandoned once.

If I let him back in, I need to know he’s not leaving again.


REVIEW: DR. DEMPSEY (DEMPSEY FOLLIES #1) BY GRACE MAXWELL 

Dr. Dempsey (Dempsey Follies Book 1)
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Maxwell delves deep into the heart with haunting characters and soulful emotion. Alaric and Liz bring heartache full circle. Dr. Dempsey takes a stroll down heartbreak road to get to maybe this time avenue. From unpredictable to irresistible is a beautiful mess that runs wild and cuts deep.

⚖️ Someone close to the Backside of Forty has taken justice into their own hands...


Wielding Magical Justice by Brenda Trim is now available to preorder!





🔗 https://geni.us/WieldingMagicalJustice





Three months after saving the gods from certain doom, the Backside of Forty crew thought they'd earned some peace and quiet. Fat chance of that happening in Cottlehill Wilds.

When Constable Lance shows up at Fiona's door with news of a dead body—Derek Morrison, the town council member who tried to exile supernatural families during their last crisis—they know their quiet days are officially over. As if they'd ever really started.

The magical signature at the crime scene is unlike anything they've encountered, and Derek died experiencing what can only be described as psychological torture. Someone forced him to relive every cruel decision he'd ever made before his heart gave out from the guilt.

Using Violet's enhanced witchcraft and Aislinn's elemental magic, they piece together a disturbing pattern: someone is systematically targeting people who took advantage of others during the Prometheus crisis. Call it vigilante justice with a supernatural twist.

But as more victims turn up the trio realizes this isn't just about punishment. Something ancient and powerful is corrupting their entire community, turning neighbors against each other and amplifying everyone's worst moral impulses with catastrophic results.

The trail leads to a Celtic burial site and a missing artifact that was never meant to be a weapon. Now they're racing against time to identify the wielder before the whole town tears itself apart in the name of justice. Too bad the person behind it all is someone they care about.

Saving the day is one thing. Saving a friend from themselves while an ancient relic tries to turn them all into judge, jury, and executioner? That's a whole different level of complicated.

Good thing the Backside of Forty crew is getting really good at making the impossible possible.

💚𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 (Last Night #2) by Rhian Cahill is available now!💚

𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐛:

Garrett

Lusting after an older woman so far out of my league we aren’t playing the same game has driven me out of my mind for months. She has no idea I exist and I have no clue how to change that. Until a chance encounter on the street gives me an opening I never thought possible. One night together strips away more barriers than our clothes. But as the sun rises above the horizon, so does Lexi from my bed, and any hope I had of making her mine vanishes in the light of day.


Alexandria

Thirty-six. Single. Divorced. Childless. Before last night that’s how I described myself. Betrayal ripped away my dreams, and the men I’ve dated for months aren’t helping my dark mood. The future is bleak until a broken-down car and one night with a younger man leave me irrevocably changed. I shouldn’t want Garrett the way I do, but in his arms, I feel things I’ve never felt and see a future I thought lost—I just need to be brave enough to take it.


REVIEW: BEFORE LAST NIGHT (LAST NIGHT #2) BY RHIAN CAHILL

Before Last Night: A Reverse Age Gap Romance
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

From hearts to rules, Cahill stirs the pot with a hint of taboo. Before Last Night breaks the boundaries of what love should be to get to what it truly is. Garrett and Alexandria push every button from sensual to emotional to get to irresistible.

𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐛:

Devon

Elizabeth Foxworth, completely off limits and sitting on the other side of my bar, is going to be my downfall. In the hours since she sat down I’ve heard more dirty words come of her mouth than any of Boyd’s regulars. But it isn’t her suddenly potty mouth that has me hard. It’s the way she’s plotting her revenge. With each plan her smile grows wider, the sparkle returns to her eyes, and I’m left wondering how to convince this woman I’m the perfect man for her.


Elizabeth

Rich. Loved. Engaged. In less than a day I lose it all thanks to my lying cheating fiancé. I’ve never been one to hold a grudge or seek revenge but I’m no longer the woman who woke up this morning. And as I spill my woes, and some of my more devious plans to get back at my ex, to the man serving me drinks I see an opportunity to get back some of what I’ve lost. It just means propositioning a man six years my junior and hoping he doesn’t turn me down.

"Emotion that sets off sparks. Carter and Olivia break through the heart with a haunting fire that doesn't back down from a challenge." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




Olivia

Cool, collected, confident – those are the words people use to describe Olivia Wexworth. No one would recognize the women who frequents Boyd’s bar. And that’s just the way I like it. Because Boyd’s offers me something I can’t get in my socialite world. Sex. Rough, hard, mind-blowing, anonymous. At Boyd’s I’m no one important, just another bar fly looking to hook up, unmemorable to everyone except the hot bartender who knows my drink order—and would like to know a whole lot more.

Carter

Livi may think she’s hiding who she really is, but I see her. All of her. The icy moneyed socialite, the single woman looking for a good time, and the woman she wants to be. There is nothing about Livi that I don’t like. And by like, I mean crave. I’ve watched her set her eyes on random men for years and I’ve finally had enough. Tonight I make a move. One neither of us will be able to come back from.

Why you need to #ONECLICK this book…

🔥boss-assistant (with an "I quit" microtrope)

🔥celebrity romance (movie star and normal girl)

🔥fake engaged

🔥she falls first but he falls harder

🔥forced proximity

🔥slow burn

🔥no third-act break up



From bestselling author Sarah Deeham comes Star-Crossed Assistant, a new boss-assistant steamy, slowburn standalone romance in the Falling For Famous series.

I quit.

After years as movie star Sebastian Blake’s personal assistant, I’ve had enough. My infuriating, impossible, and ridiculously hot boss may pay well, but it’s hard to have a life when I’m at his beck and call twenty-four seven.

It’s time to forget any inconvenient feelings for him and finally go after my own dreams.

So I quit. I figure Sebastian won’t care.

Except he’s not letting me leave. I somehow go from personal assistant to fake fiancée. And sharing—only one bed—with my boss.

I need her. Nobody else.

Emma may not realize it, but she’s more than just my assistant. She’s a sarcastic overachiever who doesn’t let me get away with anything. And she’s way too distracting in her prim little skirts. But I can’t imagine my life without her.

When she suddenly quits, my entire world rearranges. She keeps talking about boundaries. But now we're fake engaged. And all I want is to keep her close forever.


REVIEW: STAR - CROSSED ASSISTANT (FALLING FOR FAMOUS) BY SARAH DEEHAM

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

With emotion that sneaks up on you and humor that just won't quit, Deeham proves she knows what it means to steal the show. Emma and Sebastian are a match made of drama, yet it's the attraction simmering underneath that breaks through the walls of the heart. Star - Crossed seduces everything. From the senses to the heart, love leaves a lasting impression.
