HEALED: STONE & PEPPER (CLIFFSIDE BAY) BY TESS THOMPSON
Release Date: June 24, 2019
SYNOPSIS
It's Cliffside Bay and beyond in this heartwarming enemies-to-lovers romantic adventure from USA Today bestselling author Tess Thompson.
Stone Hickman is the last of a dying breed. The former Marine believes in integrity, service to his country, a hard day's work, and taking care of his loved ones. When he meets the clever Pepper Griffin, their obvious attraction has him ready to count the stunning beauty among the people that he cares for. But Pepper doesn't share the instant connection. In fact, she wants nothing to do with him. And for honest, straightforward Stone, not knowing why only makes the rejection worse.
Pepper Griffin is the epitome of scrappy. For years she's struggled to make acting her career without any help at all from her famous father. While she's still accepting meager roles with little screen time, her best friend has steadily risen to the height of fame. To make matters worse, that very same friend is happily in love, newly engaged, and wants poor Pepper, whose love life is as sad and pathetic as her last film role, to serve as her maid-of-honor while Pepper's enemy, Stone Hickman, is sure to be the groom's best man.
Though Pepper despises the best man, she loves the bride-to-be more. To keep the peace, Pepper willingly includes Stone in the wedding planning process. When the unlikely pair find themselves stranded in a snowstorm while searching for the perfect venue, they'll have to work together to survive the chill even if that means thawing Pepper's heart.

ANTHONY (SIGNATURE SWEETHEARTS) BY KELSIE RAE
Release Date: June 25, 2019
SYNOPSIS
Anthony
Being responsible hasn't gotten me anywhere in life. My girlfriend left me for another guy. My career is over. I feel like I've lost everything.
Then I meet Sway Swenson.
She's sexy, fun, spontaneous, has zero inhibitions, and thinks relationships are a waste of time, just like me. She's perfect for getting me back into the game without looking for anything serious. The only problem? She's hiding something, and the longer I'm around her, the more I want to uncover her secrets.
If only she'd let me.
Sway
I don't do relationships. A crippling experience in high school was enough to make me avoid them like the plague.
Then I meet Anthony Wright.
Everything is fine until he decides to take off his stupid shirt and gives me a glimpse of his washboard abs. When he suggests hot and sweaty sex with no strings attached, I'm stupid enough to jump in with both feet. Yup. I fall for his ludicrous idea, but I refuse to fall for the man himself.
Even if he does make me curious about what life could be like if I wasn't broken.

REVIEW: ANTHONY (SIGNATURE SWEETHEARTS) BY KELSIE RAE
Anthony by Kelsie Rae
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
There are certain authors that have a permanent place on bookshelves and in hearts. Kelsie Rae is one. Her claim to fame is that she finds humor in heartache. Anthony and Sway give readers a reason to smile, even as their lives are falling apart. Sway is a firecracker. Her spirit has fire, but her heart is a mass of broken pieces. Her cynicism, brings out the pessimist in Anthony, who is fighting his way through some painful experiences of his own. Both have much to learn, when it comes to matters of the heart. Lesson No. 1.: You can't hurry love. Lesson No. 2: When the time and person are right, love will find you. A breath of fresh air with a realistic twist.

DOG-EARED DELINQUENT (PET WHISPERER PI) BY MOLLY FITZ
Release Date: June 25, 2019
SYNOPSIS
Apparently I’ve been slacking on the job as a paralegal, even though the firm doesn’t know that I’m secretly working as the area’s premier Pet Whisperer P.I. to solve our toughest cases behind the scenes. Now they’ve hired an intern to “help” me manage my workload…
But what the partners don’t realize is that they’ve let a nefarious criminal into our offices. Trust me, Octo-Cat can smell this guy’s stink from a mile away. The worst part? I’m pretty sure he can talk to animals too… and he most definitely isn’t using his talents to solve crimes and defend the innocent.
So now I need to study hard to actually understand my abilities. Otherwise I just know this villainous intern is going to use his powers to steal both my jobs!
I never asked for this gig, but it’s time I gave it my all. Seriously, do you think I’m going to let this outsider beat me at my own game?

REVIEW: DOG-EARED DELINQUENT (PET WHISPERER PI) BY MOLLY FITZ
Dog-Eared Delinquent by Molly Fitz
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The crew is back and this time it's serious. Fun takes a back seat to danger. Dog- Eared Delinquent steps away from the humor, but keeps the ability to be unique. Octo - cat and his crime fighting human, come face to face with evil. The victor is anyone's guess, but my money's on the misfit squad. Unpredictable is Fitz's greatest asset and she proves herself worthy of the title.

The heart is the deciding factor and we're all just along for the ride. Moreland has my heart on a string and I'll gladly continue to give her free rein.

Adore Me by Kelly Elliott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Blake and Morgan deserve to be together, yet circumstances conspire to keep them apart. Will they ever get their chance at forever? Elliott is my kind of author. The poet in me, loves a good back story and Kelly Elliott delivers everytime. Only by understanding the drama of the past, can the foundation of a future be found. Morgan and Blake are a powder keg of past hurts, present misunderstandings and powerful chemistry. That emotion breathes life into the heart of their story. Out of angst comes drama. Drama breeds fire. Fire makes for compelling and compelling keeps the journey interesting. Adore Me earns it's title of heartbreaker. Ms. Elliott taps into emotion with a fierceness that energizes and engages the heart. I love the way she writes.
