Bedded Under the Christmastide Moon by Christina McKnight
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
One word has the power to upset the course of everything we hold dear. The fact that so much emotion resides with a four letter word is hard to believe, but so very true. Love is a word we all know, and emotion we all feel, but still find hard to understand. Bedded Under the Christmastide Moon is a steamy tale of misunderstandings, broken hearts and second chances. Brigham and Mellie are at the precipice of happiness and heartache, but too afraid to tumble into the abyss. Will they open their eyes and listen to their hearts or will they give up before it gets too real? At the core of a Christina McKnight tale are feelings. Whether we love, hurt, fall down or get back up, we have a reaction to the experience. McKnight knows how to get a reaction.

First grade teacher Emily Towson always does the right thing. The sensible thing. But in her dreams, she does bad, bad things with the town’s baddest boy: Tanner O’Connor. But when he sells her grandmother a Harley, fantasy is about to meet a dose of reality.
And then he goes and calls her “sensible”...

SYNOPSIS
In the tradition of Carolyn Brown, Jennifer Ryan, and Maisey Yates comes the fourth book in Sara Richardson's western contemporary romance series about sexy bull-riders.
Can this cowboy be tamed?
Everly Brooks is finally living her dream. Renting a farm in Topaz Falls, Colorado, is the perfect antidote to her high-stress life back in San Francisco. It's the ideal place to raise chickens, grow veggies, and run her farm-to-table restaurant. There's just one problem: her new landlord. Mateo Torres is a handsome-as-hell bronc rider who oozes charm, melts hearts-and plans to kick Everly off the farm . . .
Mateo has dreams, too. He'd bought that land as an investment, so he could take care of his mom and sisters, which means Everly has to go. Unfortunately for him, this former big-city girl is just as stubborn as the broncs he rides. When his trailer floods and forces him to move into Everly's farmhouse, things between them really start to heat up. Sure, living under the same roof might not be the best way to settle their dispute over the land. But when two rivals share everything-from heated words to scorching kisses-it's definitely the hottest.

The Thief Steals Her Earl by Christina McKnight
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Boundaries. Such a black and white word. The limit that is not to be crossed no matter what. Although on paper it's a reasonable word when emotion becomes involved there is a different meaning entirely. In the name of love lines get blurred and that invisible wall becomes an obstacle that needs to be demolished. Jude and Cart are not all that different. Cart's a planner, Jude's a plotter. His logical mind has been both a gift and a curse. Her active imagination and out of the box thinking are about to land her in a sticky situation. One thing's for sure these two will stop at nothing to protect the people they love. With her street savvy and his book smarts they may each succeed. As I read more and more of Ms. McKnight's romances it easy to see why so many enjoy her stories. She does not stick with the traditional love stories but like her characters creates a world center around the best of their talents and works from there. The Thief Steals Her Earl has personality and I respect any author who can make a story her own.

SET THE NIGHT ON FIRE (COTTONBLOOM) BY LAURA TRENTHAM
Release Date: July 31, 2018
SYNOPSIS
Cottonbloom is the perfect place for starting over, finding your way back home--and falling head over heels. . .
Ella Boudreaux has a lot to prove to her family, friends, and foes--and to herself. So when her marriage ends she decides to invest her energy and money into a place that brings back some of Ella's happiest memories: the Abbott brothers' garage. Maybe, if she puts her mind to it, she can teach skeptical, stubborn Mack Abbott how to make the business a true success. Which would be a lot easier if the hunky mechanic didn't make her motor run quite so fast...and hot.
Mack was furious when his brother, Ford, sold his share of the business. He's in no rush to team up with a wealthy divorcee who shows up to the garage in stilettos--and the longest, sexiest legs he's seen in forever. But Ella's grit and determination won't quit...and soon Mack can see that she's been down a few rough roads herself. Neither Mack nor Ella can deny the fierce attraction that's revving up between them. Could it be that true love has been in the backseat all along...and they've finally found the key?

HER COWBOY'S COMMAND BY KYANN WATERS
Release Date: July 31, 2018
SYNOPSIS
If she’s the boss, why is she following her cowboy’s commands?
Harleanna “Harley” Baker has been telling Lucas Howell what to do since the day he stole her daddy’s tractor. Only Lucas isn’t one to listen. She’s tried to get him into her bed, but he’s stubborn and secretive. Now, she has a ranch to run, and she needs Lucas by her side. Not that she’d ever let him know that.
Lucas grew up rough and learned early that if he wanted control in his life, he had to take it. That control continued in the bedroom and is the reason he can never have the one woman he wants. Sex with Harley wouldn’t be safe, sane, or consensual. It would be reckless, wild, and out of control.

Montana Heat by Vanessa Vale
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
What keeps me thirsty for more of Vanessa Vale and her Small Town Romance Series is the versatility. No two books are alike. Vale is known for her tales of sensuality, but with this series she gets to stretch her wings. Suddenly, I see sensitivity, sass and suspense as well as the heat. Montana Heat blends the humor and heat to create temptation in a heartwarming package. Emma and Sam put the heart in heat.

BATTLE WITH THE SEAL (NORSE SECURITY) BY LESLIE NORTH
Release Date: August 2, 2018
SYNOPSIS
Loki is the type of man who can blend into any situation—the party boy, the wallflower, or the man who slips into the back room and steals information -- whatever is needed of him as a spy. Now, with his Wounded Warrior fund on the line, he’s been given a job that could save it: ferreting out a mole. But instead of a mole, he finds his perfect female counterpart: another spy on the trail. And she’s working against him.
Mirabelle, “M”, is a master of disguise. A shake of her hair, a swipe of her lipstick and she can change from a secretary to a sex kitten. It’s a talent that comes in handy in her line of work as an agent. Plugging the leaker in a data breach could finally gain her the momentum she needs to advance her career. That is until she discovers a sexy spy working against her -- making her question everything she thought she knew.
When M and Loki’s paths collide it’s only a split second gut check that sends them running for cover together rather than ripping each other apart. There’s more to their leaker than either of their clients are telling them, and the two top spies agree to band together. For now. Deep undercover and with ever-shifting personalities and priorities, M and Loki find themselves clinging to what they know: each other. What ensues is a battle of operatives as they reluctantly join forces to figure out who the mole is, all while trying to ignore an attraction that feels so very, very right.

PUCKER UP (KISS TALENT AGENCY) BY VIRNA DEPAUL
Release Date: August 3, 2018
SYNOPSIS
She won’t be his flavor of the week. But just a taste won’t hurt…right?
Jenna
I love Lee Bowers. And that sucks.
He’s my brother’s best friend, but a bookish nerd like me would never fit into his celebrity-chef, serial-heartbreaker world. I don’t do risks. Lawyering feeds my bank account. Anonymous food blogging feeds my soul.
But one night, in a red-wine-fueled funk, I pour out my feelings in a blog post, safe behind my anonymous mask. And realize too late my drunken fingers hit “Publish” instead of “Delete.”
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I am screwed.
Lee
At first, I wanted to skewer the popular food critic who brutally lampooned my restaurant—apparently while simultaneously ogling my butt. But you know what? She’s right. The only hands-on time I’ve spent in the kitchen lately involves a hot blonde and, um…a zucchini.
Somewhere between my I’m-gonna-sue fury, and unexpectedly cuddling with Jenna after a night of soul-searing sex, I accidentally discover that blogger’s identity. And my whole life does a screeching 180.
I love Jenna Harrison. And I’m going to prove it to her, one anonymous, sexy text message at a time.

Pucker Up by Virna DePaul
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
He's got game, but she's calling the shots. Lee and Jenna set more than the kitchen on fire with their one upmanship. Drawn to each other like a moth to a flame, this duo is a mess made in heaven. A perfect match that's as clueless as they come. Virna DePaul delivers spice with a side of sugar. Pucker Up is one guilty pleasure worth the extra calories. Who needs the main course when the treat is so divine.
