THE HOLIDAY SWEET SPOT (FALCONS IN LOVE) BY SOPHIA KNIGHTLY
Release Date: January 26, 2020
SYNOPSIS
Millionaire software developer Jake Radcliffe has no intention of staying in New York any longer than necessary. All he needs to do is help his widowed mother close her famed candy shop and move her to Florida before she breaks more bones on the icy sidewalks. He was prepared for his stubborn mother’s objections. What he wasn’t ready for was staying under the same roof with her tempting pastry chef.
Chef Pilar Falcon wants nothing to do with romance. Her ex-boyfriend made sure of that. Preparing for The Sweet Spot’s 25th anniversary gala occupies most of her free time. So, avoiding her boss’s grumpy and entirely too sexy son shouldn’t be a problem. Except … it is.
It’s not long before Jake realizes there’s more to Pilar than her endlessly cheerful holiday spirit—and Pilar takes notice of the warm heart Jake hides beneath his tough exterior. But then a rival for the business—and Jake’s heart— comes to the scene, testing Pilar’s newfound trust in love. Will Pilar and Jake’s Christmas romance melt by Valentine’s Day, or will it be as sweetly seductive as a mouthful of chocolate?

The Holiday Sweet Spot by Sophia Knightly
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Sophia Knightly is my happy place. Her stories are like food for the soul. At first glance, The Holiday Sweet Spot reads like a Hallmark movie. Jake is the adorably, frustrating Scrooge with an agenda. Pilar is the clueless, optimist determined to make her dreams come true. However, peer a little closer and there are lessons to be learned about life, love and living in the moment. Add in a wily, irresistible matchmaker and the stage has been set to steal away with your heart.

Courtney Baker is ready to put small town life—and the man she can’t have—behind her. Years of secretly crushing on her best friend’s older brother have led nowhere and she’s finally ready to move on. It would have been a great plan had she not drunkenly blurted out all her feelings and kissed him. At least she’ll be able to forget all about it when she leaves town in less than 48 hours.
It takes a lot to surprise Dean Jones, but a kiss from the girl he’s been secretly attracted to for years does just that. All it takes it one kiss for him to realize he doesn’t want to let her go. But she’s his sister’s best friend and that’s a line he knows he should never cross. Never mind that she seems determined to leave their small town—and him—behind.
When a storm and a broken car stop Courtney from leaving town, Dean sees perfect opportunity to get her out of his system. But can one night ever be enough?

The Wild One (Corisi Billionaires #2) by: Ruth Cardello
Instant heat or slow simmering. With those Romano men, you never know what to expect.

A FAVOR FOR A FAVOR (ALL IN #2) BY HELENA HUNTING
Release Date: January 28, 2020
SYNOPSIS
When I joined Seattle’s NHL expansion team, I thought it was the start of something great. But nothing ever goes the way you expect. Take my introduction to my new neighbor. She came rolling in on the hot mess express at midnight, making a racket while she tried to get into my team captain’s apartment. Did I mention that he’s married to a woman who definitely was not her?
Imagine my surprise when I end up with an injury that has me out of the game for weeks, and she’s the one to offer to help me. I should probably add that she’s not the captain’s mistress. She’s his sexy, pastel-haired younger sister.
So we come up with an arrangement: she rehabs me so that I can get back on the ice sooner, and she can add a professional athlete that isn’t her brother to her client list. Seems simple enough. As long as I can keep my hands to myself and my hormones in check.

A Favor for a Favor by Helena Hunting
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I go crazy for Helena Hunting. She has a handle on what the heart wants and never disappoints. A Favor for a Favor is unpredictable at best and captiving at It's worst. Stevie and Bishop are not really friends, never really enemies, but for some reason rub each other the wrong way. Yet their chemistry level is of the charts. Along the way to love, we get a glance behind the sparks and into a witty, emotional, edge of the hormones, hard to resist, unforgettable story. Hold on to your hearts. It's going to be a bumpy ride.

Bielman is a favorite of mine because she holds nothing back. Her stories are all heart. Why should Hot Shot be any different? Drew and Alejandra leap right off the page and into your heart. He's a charmer. She's at a crossroads. Neither can let go of the connection they share, but something is holding her back. Never one to be deterred, Drew has a secret weapon that lights up the canvas with her saucy personality and mischievous ways. Rosemary is the the real deal when it comes to investing your heart. Romance reeled me in, but it was Drew's grandma that stole the show.
