Release Date: May 28, 2018
SYNOPSIS
Cash Hale has been in love with his best friend’s wife forever. Now Callie and Beau are divorced, but she’s still way off-limits. Dating her would betray his friendship with Beau. And Cash is nothing if not loyal.
Callie Sutherland is starting over. The end of her marriage was just one more way she failed to live up to her wealthy family’s expectations, so from now on she’s not even going to try. It’s time to live her life the way she wants. And she wants Cash.
Cash and Beau aren’t just friends, they’re business partners, and the drop in the price of oil has hurt their business. They need to win the bid for Sutherland Industries’ next big project—but it may get messy since Callie’s family owns the business. Not only would Cash risk his friendship with Beau to be with her, he’d be risking the company they worked so hard to create.
But this new Callie isn’t taking no for an answer.
He’s so screwed...

Welcome to Angel Falls, a town so delightful even enemies can't help falling in love!
Angel Falls is the last place Sara Langdon wants to be. Her hometown may be charming, but it's also filled with memories of her "wedding-that-never-was." Yet Sara's grandmother needs her, and joining her dad at his medical practice gives Sara time to figure out what she wants for her future. But when her first patient turns out to be Colton Walker, the man who sabotaged her wedding, Sara starts to wonder if she'll ever be able to escape her past.
As police chief, Colton Walker is devoted to his small town, and he's equally determined to avoid its newest resident. He and Sara have always gotten along like oil and water, and since the bachelor party incident, he's her Enemy #1.

REVIEW: THEN THERE WAS YOU (ANGEL FALLS) BY MIRANDA LIASSON
Then There Was You by Miranda Liasson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The quality that appeals to me most about a Miranda Liasson read is her ability to keep it real, without losing her adorable brand of charm. Then There Was You is a journey of life lessons and at times harsh truths, tempered by heartache and humor. In life and in love things happen for a reason. It's the knowledge gained from those experiences that shape us into who we are. Sara had a front row seat to heartache, perhaps happily ever after is right around the corner.

ROYALLY HUNG BY ANNE MARSH
Release Date: May 22, 2018
SYNOPSIS
Fairy tales always have a Prince Charming and a bad guy. In real life, Prince Charming is the bad guy and his favorite happy ending is the big O.
I'm Prince Dare but you can call me Prince Charming. Cinderella never wanted the prince--she wanted a night out, a banging dress, and some midnight fun. I deliver that. I make being bad look way more fun than being good, and no one leaves my royal bed without a happy ending.
When my uncle, the reigning king of Vale, orders me to marry and offers to make me the heir to the throne, I'm thrown for a loop. I'm the spare, the extra, the free gift with purchase. I can't be the hero and I won't be the villain who knocks his brother off the throne, so I've come up with an evil plan of my own...
I'll marry someone completely unsuitable to take myself out of the running. The only problem? My suitably unroyal bride is far too tempting to resist--Edee is funny, sweet, and sexy. And best of all, she's American. It's a great plan. Everything's working out just fine until reality starts to intrude on my fantasy and for the first time ever, I wish fairy tales did come true.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Forget the tale we think we know. Royally Hung is a new kind of fantasy. The charming prince is a royal jerk with a chip on his shoulder and an appetite for the naughty side of life. Dare is no walking dream, but he does have a few surprisingly sweet attributes. He's easy on the eyes and knows how to lay on the charm to get what he wants. Edee is not his type. She always puts her best foot forward, but seems to consistently be left twisting in the wind. Neither believe in happily ever afters. He has a role to play and she has a life to live. Can the realistic photographer, help the dirty prince learn what it means to be a man? Marsh seduces with a hint of Cinderella fantasy doused with tons of wicked fun and an abundance of emotion. A hot take on a lovable tale.

REVIEW: JADE: PERFECT MATCH BY RACHELLE AYALA
Jade: Perfect Match by Rachelle Ayala
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Ayala believes in the direct approach. The best romances are the least complicated ones, yet it's the emotions that bring on the complications. Jade is at it's best a relaxing tale of angst, heart and humor. As a romance writer Jade wants to believe in the fantasy, but reality keeps bringing her down. Aiden needs a little down time away from his dangerous career and matchmaking mom. A little fun in the sun is just what the doctor ordered. Or is it just what their hearts crave? Perfect Match has all the ingredients to have readers believing in love.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
It doesn't matter who you are once love captures your heart. Holly Rayner builds on the philosophy that a little positivity has yet to hurt anybody. That mantra shines through in her stories. Even at the worst of times, her characters find a way to look on the bright side. Paige and Kehlan are from different worlds and live by different traditions, but when the heart wants what it wants, nothing else matters.

REVIEW: DIRTY RICH CINDERELLA STORY (DIRTY RICH) BY LISA RENEE JONES
Dirty Rich Cinderella Story by Lisa Renee Jones
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Dirty Rich Cinderella Story may give a nod to the fairytale, but is in no way a throwback to childhood fantasy. Lori and Cole are all spice. With a chip on her shoulder and a closed off heart, Lori has much to prove. Her life has not always been kind, but just when things are finally looking up, all hell breaks loose. Tall, Dark, Handsome and Rich blindsides her plans and sets about capturing her heart. Jones is tastfully naughty with an appetizer of sweet to set the heart on fire and the senses ablaze.

ROYAL SERVICE (ROYALS OF DANOVAR) BY LESLIE NORTH
Release Date: May 24, 2018
SYNOPSIS
King Phillip is a real life Prince Charming. Golden haired with a Danovian accent, and a solid gold crown sitting on his head, he’s every girl’s daydream. He’s a good man and an even better king, but the one thing he’s been terrible at is choosing a royal wife -- fearing a marriage that’s more about policy than passion. But when his mother invites all the eligible maidens to The Summer House Party, Phillip is trapped in a real-life Bachelor where he won’t have the option of quietly splitting from the girl after the party is over -- he’ll be wed to her for life.
Ella Fernstone is tired of being the family servant. After her father died, Ella was receded to the basement as her stepmother began a full court press to cultivate her own daughters. Ella’s ready to escape the hot mess of a home that she grew up in by finally pursuing her dream of competitive riding: something she’s been preparing her whole life to do. All she has to do is marry one of her step sisters off to the King of Danovar to finally find her freedom. It couldn’t be that hard right?
That was until Ella was the first to fall for the King’s dashing good looks and an offer to ride off with him into the sunset. Ella is hesitant -- a Queen’s life was still one of servitude, but it’s hard to ignore the pull of a handwritten love letter and a skillfully delivered kiss. Phillip too is caught up in seducing what he never expected to find: an eligible woman he might just learn to love. But when the reality of a royal marriage comes crashing down, Phillip and Ella must decide if they can risk their hearts, or their freedoms, on the chance of true love.

REVIEW: ROYAL SERVICE (ROYALS OF DANOVAR) BY LESLIE NORTH
Royal Service by Leslie North
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A dashing hero, a feisty heroine and a reality show are a few of the highlights from the modern day twist to a Cinderella story. With the recent surge of royal fever Phillip and Ella couldn't have come at a better time. North brings the sexy and heart with a sprinkle of humor to modern romance. Ella dreams with her heart and it's those fantasies that have saved her from the heartbreak that is her life. Phillip is a realist that has forgotten how to dream. Funny that it takes a Bachelor type setting and a determined mother to remind him how. Royal Service is an enchanting reminder that despite the odds, it's the dreaming that give us the hope and will to survive.

Gia is living the dream with an amazing career and wonderful friends. Her life is on the right track, until a tall, broody blast-from-the-past breezes back into her life, sending her into a tailspin.

Simon and Gia have to find a way to coexist. They started as friends, and maybe it’s time to go back to the beginning. Only, this time around, being ‘just friends’ doesn’t seem to be enough. Simon has doubts, and Gia has secrets. Will they be able to let go of the past that hurt them both or will history repeat itself?
** This book can be read and understood as a standalone, but does contain minor spoilers for Level Me Up, book one in the series. **

One More Round by Lauren Helms
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Level Me Up may have been Dex and Morgan's journey into relationship bliss, but it was the undercurrents that Gia and Si set off that had me wondering. One More Round delves into the history of Simon and Gia. The friendship, heartache and secrets help to unite them, yet ultimately proved the catalyst that drove them apart. Helms has a talent for keeping readers guessing even as she leaves them craving more. Another example of prime reading.
