Why you need to #ONECLICK this book…

💍Marriage in repair

🩷Only ever been you

🍼Surprise baby (but not how you’d think)

🏁Former NASCAR driver

🏠Small town romance

🩷Heat and heart and HEA






Blurb:

A heart-mending romance for a small town marriage-in-repair between reunited lovers seeking a second chance at love later in life.

Dart Rivers is my ex-husband, or so I thought.

Three years ago, he drove out of our small town to chase racing dreams, leaving me and my broken heart in his rearview mirror.

Couple goals and shattered promises brought feelings of failure on both our parts.

Then one night, a special delivery is left on my back step. A stork-drop of sorts. (Think Baby Boom). At first, I believe there must be a mistake, but when the sweet bundle swaddled in pink gazes at me, I’ll do anything to keep her.

Enter Dart Rivers again.

An accident on the track leads to him sneaking into the house, crashing on my couch, and announcing he’s still mine.

Close proximity provides honest conversations, friendly couch time, and familiar attractions. With silver speckled in his hair, Dart is still the best-looking man I’ve ever seen, making my belly flutter and my heart beat again.

But can I trust that fragile organ? Can I give my ex-not-ex-husband a second chance? Can I believe Dart’s new promises? 

+ + +

Rogue River series is a spin-off from the Sterling Falls series, specifically Sterling Touch, giving readers small-town romances with characters over 40.

HAPPY BOOK WEEK 

Boone and Vivi story are here!  City Slickers meets the holiday where one rental mixup leads to a one bed situation for a grumpy cowboy, and a sunny city slicker.


The One Who Saw Her (Callahan Legacy #1) by Marina Adair is #NowLive!


"....bittersweet, heartache with a wicked sense of humor. Adair sets out to put a claim on the heart and succeeds." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)

https://bit.ly/4u8khEC





Vivi Witmore has built a career rewriting other people’s love lives—polishing their dating profiles, perfecting their first impressions, fixing all the cracks so romance looks seamless. But when her long-term boyfriend announces he’s moving to Singapore and expects her to follow, Vivi realizes she’s spent years sacrificing her own happiness just to make everyone else’s dreams shine. Torn between the safe path of pleasing him and the terrifying idea of finally choosing herself, she retreats to her mother’s latest scheme—a rented ranch in the middle of nowhere—that turns out to be more dust and duct tape than rustic retreat. Even worse, the rundown ranch comes with a grumpy ex-rodeo champion who has no time for city girls and their designer boots—or their drama. Forced to cohabitate, Vivi battles roosters, horse poop, and Boone’s stubborn pride—while secretly building dating profiles for the lonely locals. Still she’s determined to stay anyway, to figure out what living her own life might look like.

Boone Callahan has three rodeo championships under his belt and one ranch hanging by a thread. Five months ago, his parents died in a car crash, and the grief was so raw he drove away his fiancée and locked his heart for good. Now, all he wants is to save Bridlewood, his grandfather’s land, before the bank comes knocking. The last thing he needs is a city runaway cluttering up his kitchen in pearls and distracting him with wide eyes and stubborn charm. Boone wants Vivi gone, but he desperately needs her rental fee to keep the lights on.

Boone knows how this story ends—people leave, promises break, and love never lasts. And Vivi? She’s chaos wrapped in charm, a fixer who’s finally run out of people to fix. But between stubborn cattle, starlit skies, and the kind of laughter neither expected to find again, they discover that maybe the broken pieces of their lives aren’t meant to be mended alone. The longer Vivi lingers, the harder it is to imagine Pine Ridge—or either of their hearts—without her.


REVIEW: THE ONE WHO SAW HER (CALLAHAN LEGACY #1) BY MARINA ADAIR

The One Who Saw Her: Boone (Callahan Legacy Book 1)

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Boone and Vivi flirt with emotions with tempting precision. A bittersweet, heartache with a wicked sense of humor. The One Who Saw Her stirs up trouble in the most endearing way. Adair sets out to put a claim on the heart and succeeds.

TRY AGAIN, BABY

Julia Wolf

Release Date: June 25 




✨ TRY AGAIN, BABY by @authorjuliawolf is releasing June 25th!




#PreOrderNow

https://mybook.to/TryAgainBaby 


Why you need to #ONECLICK this book…

💜secret baby

🏉surprise pregnancy

💜one night stand

🏉rugby playing golden retriever MMC

💜plus size law student FMC

🏉age gap







I met Ben Wells at an airport on one of the worst days of my life.

We talked, laughed, connected, and survived a travel disaster.

Then we shared one wild, passionate night together.

That was where the story was supposed to end.

Ben went back to his life as a professional rugby player, and I went back to mine as a college student.

Except mine came with a positive pregnancy test and a life I never planned for.

One Ben made it clear he wanted no part of.

I didn’t fall apart or chase him. I picked myself up and brushed myself off, raised my daughter, and fought my way into law school.

For five years, we did just fine without him.

We were happy, even.

Then, out of nowhere, Ben crashes back into our lives, smiling like nothing ever happened, and everything I thought I knew comes undone. Because some misunderstandings don’t just break hearts. They steal years.

Now Ben is determined to make up for lost time, and not just with our daughter.

The passion we shared is still alive and well, but the stakes are much higher now. But if there’s one thing Ben is good at—besides being relentlessly cheerful and sexy in his rugby uniform—it’s persistence. He doesn’t give up.

If Ben has it his way, the end of our story will be only the beginning.

Meet Julia Wolf:

Julia Wolf writes sexy rockers, grumpy billionaires, snarky heroines, and bad ass women. She’s a firm believer in happily ever afters, no matter how rocky the road is to get there.


She doesn’t believe in “guilty pleasures”, only pleasure. Reading about a plus size woman who gets absolutely railed by a hot rock star is pleasure. Reading about a damaged college student whose flaws are valued and loved by the grumpy guy next door is pleasure. Reading about love in a small town or big city or on a tour bus is pleasure. Reading romance is pleasure!


Julia lives in Maryland with her husband and three crazy, beautiful children. When she’s not writing romance, she’s reading it. Some of her favorite things are, in no particular order: goats, books, coffee, and Target.

Second Edition by Tess Thompson releases on June 29th!

https://geni.us/SecondEdition


Read With Kindle Unlimited




Delphine Delacroix does not date.
Delphine Delacroix does not chat.
Delphine Delacroix especially has no interest in the quietly sunny bookstore owner everyone thinks is perfect for her.

Six years after losing her husband, Delphine has built a quiet life on control, routine, and careful distance. She runs her gallery by day. She raises her daughter. And in a small studio behind her cottage, she throws pots — slowly, patiently, for no one but herself — because clay is the only thing that's ever let her make something whole out of something broken.

She politely, firmly, and with increasing exasperation, declines every matchmaking attempt the good people of Willet Cove have made on her behalf for the last three years.

Delphine is fine. Delphine is fine.

Then fifteen-year-old Annie makes the bravest choice of her young life: she walks into a grief support group alone. And Delphine — who has spent six years refusing that same room — is undone.

She's not the only one who notices.

Dorian Flynn has always politely suggested that Delphine Delacroix might have opinions of her own about whom she dates. Then he sees a teenage girl sitting by herself in a room meant for grown-ups — and the fiercely guarded woman who comes to pick her up, clay still dried on her wrists — and realizes the entire town may have had a point all along.

Delphine is wary. Dorian is patient. And somehow, between hesitant conversations in quiet bookstore aisles, a watchful shop cat with opinions of his own, and a girl who deserves more than silence, an unlikely found family begins to form.

But letting someone in means risking the one thing Delphine has fought for six years to protect. And the longer she circles Dorian, the more she begins to suspect that the truth she's been outrunning — about her husband, about herself, about what she's really been afraid of — is finally ready to catch up with her.

She's been wrong about the past.
She might be wrong about love, too.

Dorian is counting on it.

Second Edition is the fifth and final book in the Parent App series — a deeply emotional, slow-burn, behind-closed-doors small-town romance featuring a grumpy single-mom gallery owner and potter, a quiet Navy-veteran sunshine hero with a soft spot for the girl who needs him, found family, a meddling bookstore cat with opinions, meddling teenage matchmakers, and a powerful journey through grief, healing, and the terrifying hope of a second chance at love.

Because in Willet Cove, some love stories aren't written in the first draft.
They're the ones you finally let yourself revise.

Daring Delaney by Cassie Colton releases on June 30th!

https://geni.us/DaringDelaney


Read With Kindle Unlimited




Delaney Henderson thought she’d found her dream life in a five-star kitchen until a dangerous affair with her boss exposed a web of lies, betrayal, and embezzlement that could destroy her. With nowhere else to turn, she escapes to Haven Ranch for a fresh start as the ranch cook, hoping her past stays buried.

David “Mac” Walters, a former Marine, built a quiet life on the ranch, grounded in loyalty, honor, and hard-earned peace. The last thing he expects is the fiery, wounded chef who cooks her way into his heart, and straight through his defenses.
When a devastating accident leaves Delaney vulnerable and pregnant, Mac steps in without hesitation, offering her shelter and protection. But as the heat between them ignites into something deeper, doubts creep in. Mac can’t ignore the years between them, and Delaney fears trusting her heart.

Just when she starts to believe in a future, the past returns, threatening her and her child.

Mac will have to prove he’s strong enough to protect her, brave enough to claim her, and fearless enough to fight for the life they both desire.

No one fights alone on Dagger's watch...


MC romance fans can preorder Dagger's Target by E.C. Land today!!






🔗 https://geni.us/DaggersTarget 






She doesn't want my help, but in this club you don't fight alone...

Dagger

She's gorgeous. Irresistible. Tough as nails. And ten years my junior. I should have stayed away. One night wasn't enough, but a woman this fierce doesn't have room in her life for a man like me. Or so I thought. 

She's got more steel in her spine than half of my brothers. She built her dance studio from the ground up, and guards her business like a queen protecting a kingdom. She even told the guy who wanted to buy her building to go to hell before she slammed the door. 

So why am I surprised to find her at the clubhouse weeks later? She's calm and resolved as she drops the biggest bombshell of my life on us both. But before I can even process what she's saying, she's drawing a line in the sand. She doesn't want money or protection or help. She just thought I should know the truth. 

What she didn't expect was that this club takes care of its own. And I've never been particularly good at following orders. 

And that investor who tried to steal her land? When he starts playing dirty, he doesn't realize he's not just messing with a smart-mouthed small business owner anymore. She thinks she's in this fight alone, but she's about to find out that when you share blood with this club, you get the whole damn patch.

🔗  https://geni.us/RecklessBride




I only wanted a weekend of reckless, careless fun. Instead, I got… him.

Be a good girl. Follow the rules. Never talk back.

These are the principles I’ve lived by for nearly twenty-two years.

And look where it got me.

Homeless, jobless, and dumped. That’s where.

So I figure it’s time to break the rules. Be a rebel for once. One weekend in Vegas, to let loose and finally experience life on the wild side before I return to my boring, rule-following life.

At least, that’s the plan. Until I wake up with a ring on my finger and a man in my bed who calls himself Daddy.

He wants a good girl. A Little one who will obey his every command.

Too bad for him I’m done being anyone’s good girl.

When these opposites attract... lives will be on the line!


Mark your calendars: The Gift by Romantic Fiction by Maddie Taylor releases June 10th!!





Follow Maddie Here For Release Alerts! 👇




A lawman falls for a woman with a rare gift. A killer will stop at nothing to possess it.

Texas Ranger Vince Cooper trusts evidence, instincts, and the badge on his chest. Psychics? Not a chance. But when a brutal murder and a missing teenage girl lead him to Erica Stevens, Vince can't deny that the beautiful, boho artist knows things about the crime scene she shouldn’t.

Erica rarely talks about her gift. The visions strike without warning—someone else’s fear, memories that don’t belong to her, flashes of violence she can’t unsee. Helping a skeptical Ranger investigate a murder is the last thing she needs, even if the grounded, old‑school lawman watching her with equal parts suspicion and heat is impossible to ignore.

As they work the case together, preconceived notions give way to undeniable chemistry. Trust builds. Desire sizzles. Coop’s protective instincts flare to life. And everything between them changes. 

But the investigation points straight to a ruthless Russian crime boss who collects debts in blood. When he learns about Erica’s ability, she becomes far more valuable than the money he’s hunting.

Now Coop isn’t just trying to solve a murder. He’s racing to save the woman he loves. Because once the boss decides something belongs to him, he never lets it go.

About Maddie:


A 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.

Two deadly men. One captive woman. The hottest read of the summer! ❤️‍🔥


Sparrow by Quinn Marlowe is available to preorder now.




TWO DANGEROUS MEN. ONE BROKEN GIRL. AND A PROMISE SHE NEVER SAW COMING.

None of this was planned.

One moment I’m eating dinner with friends, and the next I’m kidnapped and dumped in a town I’ve never heard of. Where I know no one.

Then I see a face I recognize. One I’ve known my whole life… and never expected to see again.

My mother’s stepbrother. The one I was never allowed to talk to.

Head of the local motorcycle club, Mars Hawke is rough enough to run it with an iron fist. And he takes one look at me, lost and terrified, and claims me as his own. He’s possessive and dangerous, yes. But also playful.

Devoted.

When he brings his best friend into the picture, I find his complete opposite. Orion is dark. Brooding. Tattooed and silent and the ultimate temptation. If Mars is wildfire, Orion is the darkness after it burns.

They’re both deadly and far too dangerous for someone like me, but when trouble suddenly catches up with me, they jump to my rescue, and I’m faced with a choice.

My instinct is to give myself up. Save the men I’ve come to love. But these men touch me like I’m precious. Like I’m everything they’ve ever wanted. Like I’m worth saving.

And when they say they’ll burn the mountain down before giving me back… I believe them.

Because I’ve never felt so safe before. Like I’m finally seen.

Finally home.

If I can choose to let them keep me.

If they’ll choose to keep me as well.

Sparrow is the third book in the Hawke’s Wood series, and is why choose, small-town romance that features step-uncle, step-uncle’s best friend, motorcycle club, protective heroes, touch her and die, found family, forced proximity, hidden identity, trauma healing, age gap, angst, and enough spice to make you want a Mars and Orion of your very own.

About Quinn:


Quinn Marlowe is a writer of girls with bad ideas and the men who have to save them. She doesn't believe in simple plots or clean endings... and she loves a good cliffhanger.

She's not sorry for that. 

She's a fan of red wine, cheesecake, perfect hash browns, and really good punk rock. She’s also obsessed with everything piratical—though she refuses to acknowledge any actual connection to pirates. She studied English and Film at UCLA and, when forced to choose a career, chose publishing rather than teaching or being a filmmaker. Quinn lives in San Diego with her dogs, the ducks that moved into the front yard, and far too many cats.

When she's not writing, you can find her riding her horse or playing villain in someone else's story. And she's not sorry about that, either.
