DOUBLE COVER REVEAL

 




Kara Kendrick has revealed the new covers for Charming the CEO and Flirt Like a (Fake) Groom!




CHARMING THE CEO BLURB:
Gabe Ashford is a catch—a billionaire CEO surfer hottie running a SoCal lifestyle company. Rich. Successful. And absolutely freaking gorgeous.
Too bad he’s my boss.
And we have one rule at The Slay Squad. Never date on the job. Ever.
Can I run his social media without falling for the billionaire surfer hottie? Probably, because he doesn’t want me there anyway. He thinks he can do everything himself.
It’s my job to prove him wrong.
But when my rental is cancelled and I end up in his guesthouse, the line between business and pleasure blurs and I’m not so certain I want to follow the rules anymore. Besides, rules were made to be broken, right?






FLIRT LIKE A (FAKE) GROOM BLURB:
I’ve been called a flirt.
A ladies’ man.
A perpetual bachelor.

And they’re not wrong.

I like to keep my options open.

When my buddy asks me to be the Best Man in his Vegas wedding, I never expected to end up on the other side of the altar.

After one raucous night and a huge misconception, I find myself in need of a wife. A deal of a lifetime depends on it.

The cute, curvy Maid of Honor agrees to take on the role. It’s only temporary, just until I seal the deal for my family’s winery.

Problem is, the more time I spend with her, the less pretend our relationship feels.

It’s just a simple game of Bride and Groom, until it isn’t.

Forever was never part of the plan.

#SeriesAlert




DON'T DATE HIM SERIES

by Lani Lynn Vale



 This series will cover a brand new set of characters that are ex-cons (Or can they be ex-cons if they escape from prison?) and their one true loves. Don’t Date Him series by Lani Lynn Vale https://amzn.to/4lBUCjw




People We Avoid (Don't Date Him Book 2) by Lani Lynn Vale 

Release Date: February 10, 2026


"CAN'T PUT DOWN ROMANCE. 

Morally grey may have lost it's soul, but it never lost sight of it's heart." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)


https://amzn.to/49FJA8P





About the book:📕 


CREED + BIRDEE

All Birdee Calvert wanted was to be normal.


She wanted the parents who didn’t divorce when she was a kid and make her life a living nightmare. She wanted the sisters who actually liked her. She wanted to live in a town where everyone loved her and didn’t have a single bad thing to say about her.


That was not the life Birdee was given.


She had the exact opposite life. The kind of life where she slunk through the grocery store with a hoodie on so no one would recognize her. The kind of life where men like Creed Daugherty didn’t give her a second look.


After years of abuse and heartache, she built walls. Big, huge, thick ones that no one could ever breach. If she didn’t put forth the effort to get to know someone, she couldn’t be hurt.

At least, that was the theory.


She never counted on Creed 


Daugherty hitting her with his truck. Then, deciding that once he entered her life, he would never leave it.

Though Birdee should’ve known that Creed was too good to be true.

All it takes is one mistake on her part, and Creed freezes her out. Then forces the rest of the town to make it almost impossible for her to live in Sawtooth, Montana, anymore.

Birdee only thought it couldn’t get worse.


But Creed makes sure to show her that it can and will.


The thing about rock bottom?


Once you’re there, you have nothing else to lose.


And Creed Daugherty just made himself enemy number one.

REVIEW: PEOPLE WE AVOID (DON'T DATE HIM #2) BY LANI LYNN VALE

People We Avoid (Don't Date Him, #2)

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Morally grey may have lost it's soul, but it never lost sight of it's heart. People We Avoid blends haunting with heated. Vale pushes emotions to their limit. Creed and Birdee step out of the shadows of life and find redemption in an intriguing tango of love. The soul takes quite a beating, yet it's the healing power of the human spirit that empowers the journey. CAN'T PUT DOWN ROMANCE.

NEW RELEASE SPOTLIGHT: THE HOTSHOT (THE DUGOUT #1) BY PIPER RAYNE

Raising my cousin’s three kids wasn’t in my five-year plan.
Actually, it wasn’t in any plan.

One minute I’m a single labor and delivery nurse living a quiet life and the next, I’m navigating guardianship hearings, meltdowns, and homework I’m pretty sure requires a math degree.

Enter Hayes Carlisle.

My best friend’s older brother.
Chicago Colts newest catcher.
And the man I once kissed and immediately pretended I didn’t.

So, when the custody battle I’ve been dreading becomes a reality, I shouldn’t be surprised that Hayes swoops in with a wild idea—a fake relationship. According to him, pretending we’re together will polish his image and prove to the court I’m not taking on an instant family alone.

But pretending to be Hayes’ girlfriend is a terrible idea.

Because he remembers how to make me laugh.
Because he looks at me like our kiss wasn’t a one-time mistake.
Because the kids start asking him to read bedtime stories.
Because my heart starts wanting things my life doesn’t have room for.

I can manage the chaos. I can fight for these kids.
But pretending not to fall for Hayes Carlisle?

That might be the one thing I can’t do.

#NewRelease

🎧New Audiobook Alert! 

🎧Listeners are loving 🎧

📚Sap & Secrets by Daphne Elliot 

🎤Narrated in Duet by Vanessa Edwin and Connor Crais


"Three of my favorites join forces ... From sassy to endearing, Elliott brings personality to romance.  Crais and Edwin give voice to the kind of emotion the heart needs to experience, but longs to forget." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)



“Vanessa Edwin and Connor Crais are phenomenal. Vanessa perfectly captures Evie’s vulnerability and quiet strength, while Connor brings Jasper to life with warmth, humor, and sincerity.” -Felecia, Goodreads

“The duet narration was fantastic! Connor Crais and Vanessa Edwin were perfect to voice Jasper and Evie. Loved this duo. 5/5 stars!!” -Linda, Goodreads



“This book had me on the edge of my seat from the very first chapter. I swear that first chapter was just absolutely epic. From the "you're in labor" to the "you're the father", it was just shock after shock for the characters, and I was here for all of it.” -XenyMarie, Bookbub 


Listen to this small-town series starter now:

▶️ https://geni.us/sapsecrets




Nine months ago, I had one perfect, reckless night with Jasper Lawrence, the tall, tattooed firefighter who made me feel fearless. I told myself it was a mistake I’d never repeat.

Then he finds me at the Maple Festival… in labor with our surprise baby.

The best part? I had no idea I was pregnant.

Now Jasper is everywhere. The two of us stumble through new parenthood together. And he

doesn’t just step up, he moves in. Almost. He pitches a tent in my backyard and sleeps outside so he’s never far away from us. He’s a shirtless, helpful menace who cooks, cleans, and cuddles our son. He makes me feel safe, seen, and wanted. And I hate how much I love it.

Every time I shove him away, he shows back up, golden retriever energy and all, with coffee and

pastries in tow, ready to carry the baby, the groceries, and occasionally me.

I came to Maplewood, Vermont, to discover my independence. But it’s hard to keep my distance

when the town’s been shaken by danger, the scars from my past refuse to stay buried, and the

firefighter I should absolutely avoid keeps setting my world on fire.

Turns out the biggest threat to me in America’s most charming small town might be the man who won’t stop rescuing me.




REVIEW: SAPS & SECRETS (MAPLEWOOD #1) BY DAPHNE ELLIOT


Sap & Secrets: A Surprise Baby Firefighter Romance (Maplewood, Book 1)

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Three of my favorites join forces to make me laugh and set about claiming my heart. From sassy to endearing, Elliott brings personality to romance. Crais and Edwin give voice to the kind of emotion the heart needs to experience, but longs to forget. Unpredictable drama, unforgettable romance and irresistible storytelling that breaks all the rules.

SWEET FORTUNE

This small-town kindergarten teacher is about to make a Christmas bargain with a billionaire…


Allie Lawrence has never cared about money. She grew up running around the family dairy farm with her beloved big brothers, treasuring all the joys in life that don’t cost a thing.


But when she becomes a kindergarten teacher at the elementary school in small town Sugarville Grove, a project that could help her students captures her heart and her imagination.


If only she could find the budget to help the children’s dreams come true.


When a struggling student’s father steps in and makes her an unbelievable offer, Allie is too excited to overthink the conditions. What’s a little tutoring and a fake date or two in exchange for the Christmas miracle she has been praying for?


But as Allie spends more time with the handsome single dad, and the little girl she secretly wishes could be her own, she starts to realize she’s in too deep.


Worse than the threat of losing the bargain, the thing she’s about to lose just might be her heart.




REVIEW: SWEET FORTUNE (SUGARVILLE GROVE #9) BY CLARA PINES

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Heart tingles are on full display. Pines speaks her truth. Sweet Fortune is the culmination of emotional depth and soulful romance. Love paves the way for a chance at redemption.






CHRISTMAS ENCORE

Some love stories never take their final bow.

He left her without a word. Now he’s back—with scars, regrets, and a love he can’t outrun.

Fifteen years ago, Roan Hayes vanished from Sugarville Grove, leaving behind the girl he loved and a town that never forgave him. Now, a career-ending stuntman injury sends him home, determined to start over quietly with a gritty new gym. But his fresh start collides head-on with the past when he discovers his business shares a wall with hers.


Reese Monroe has been back in Sugarville Grove for years, running her beloved Sugar Plum Dance Studio after a dazzling ballet career that ended too soon. Outwardly, she’s thriving—teaching young dancers, filling her days with music and movement—but privately, the pressure to stay in control still haunts her. The last thing she needs is Roan walking back into her world… still magnetic, still stubborn, and still capable of upending everything.


As their lives—and their businesses—intertwine, old sparks burn hotter than ever. But forgiveness doesn’t come easy, and trust is even harder. Can Roan prove that first love deserves a second chance, or will past heartbreak take its final bow?


REVIEW: CHRISTMAS ENCORE (SUGARVILLE GROVE #10) BY TESS THOMPSON

Christmas Encore (A Small Town Christmas Romance): Sugarville Grove, Book 10

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Thompson takes emotion to it's limit. From endearing to poignant, Roan and Reese are the sweetest blend of haunting and hopeful. Christmas Encore explores the feelings hidden within. An honest yet irresistible heartbreaker.

I never signed up for magical parasites trying to steal my triplets' powers, but here we are.


Pregnant with three magical babies who each have their own divine gifts? Hard enough. Add in my psychotic enemy Lyra creating parasitic connections to drain their powers before they're even born, and this mama is living a supernatural nightmare of epic proportions.

My husband Aidon's shadows can only defend us so much, and with my entire family working overtime on protection spells and battle plans, we're racing against a divine deadline. Because of course Lyra would time her ultimate power grab to coincide with my labor.

Throw in a mysterious woman named Thalia with a connection to Lyra that nobody saw coming, Forgotten Ones attacking our property, and my unborn children developing powers strong enough to create weather events and magical maps—and I'm having the pregnancy from hell. Literally, since my father-in-law Hades is now involved.

As the celestial alignment approaches and my contractions intensify, I'll need every ounce of my Pleiades magic and the support of my supernatural family to ensure my babies aren't just born—but born free from the parasitic bonds that threaten to make them magical batteries for a power-hungry madwoman.

Turns out these triplets have plans of their own, and Lyra has no idea what she's awakened.

Grab this thrilling paranormal women's fiction novel featuring a pregnant heroine with attitude, powerful magical triplets, and the family willing to tear apart dimensions to protect them today!
