A Very Grumpy Veterinarian by Shaw Hart releases on May 29th!

https://geni.us/AVeryGrumpyVet

Read On All Platforms




I think I’m finally ready to fall in love… I just didn’t expect it to be with my grumpy boss.

Pearl
I’ve worked at Wolf Valley Veterinary Clinic for years.
I love my job, I love the animals, and I loved working with Dr. Harris before he retired.
Then his replacement gets here, and I realize that there might be something else I love about my job.
Him.
Dr. Wells Bennett.
He’s quiet, brooding, annoyingly handsome, and the kind of man who looks at you once and sees too much.
He showed up a few months ago to help out his mentor, but then he stayed.
Took over the clinic.
Took over my routine.
Took over my peace of mind.
Now I’m dealing with a boss who barely talks, glowers at anyone who smiles with me, and finds excuses to stay late when I’m the only other one here.
I should be focusing on my work, but all I can think about is what it would feel like if my grumpy vet finally made a move.

Wells
I came to Wolf Valley to help my mentor through his last months at the clinic.
I thought it would be temporary.
Then I met Pearl.
She’s sunshine and fire all wrapped into one gorgeous, curvy woman who cares more about animals than most people care about each other.
The first day I saw her hold a trembling puppy to her chest and whisper softly to comfort him, I was done for.
Completely gone.
So, when my mentor retired, I didn’t hesitate.
I stayed.
But things are complicated.
Pearl works for me, and I’m terrified of risking the one bright thing I have here.
Only now, every day she’s near me is torture.
Every smile she gives someone else is a punch to the gut.
And every time she brushes past me in the hallway, I have to remind myself she’s not mine.
Not yet.

Every Shattered Note by Claudia Burgoa releases on May 20th!

https://geni.us/ShatteredNote

Read With Kindle Unlimited




From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes a slow-burn, mistaken-identity romance about hidden fame, second chances at life, and the woman who accidentally falls for a rockstar in disguise.

I plan other people’s love stories for a living. Perfect nights. Perfect moments. Perfect control.

So when my guitarist cancels an hour before a high-profile event, I do what any professional would do—panic quietly and pray for a miracle.

Then he walks in.

Late. Soaked from the rain. Incredibly handsome. Unapologetically charming.

A man I absolutely shouldn’t notice.

He plays music like the storm outside taught him how to feel.

He saves the night. And without meaning to, he starts unraveling mine.

I don’t know that he’s a world-famous musician in hiding.

I only know that when he looks at me, the world stops spinning.

I build love stories for other people. It’s chaotic, but it’s always strategic, straight-forward.

But this time, the one falling—hard, fast, and completely unplanned—is me.

There’s no seating chart that can contain, or explain, the storm that is Dexter Vaughn. But maybe his humor, guitars, and big heart is exactly what I need to build my own breathtaking love story.

The Ugly Stick by Cori Lane releases on May 26th!

https://geni.us/TheUglyStick


Read With Kindle Unlimited




When hockey’s grumpiest single dad returns to my hometown, he doesn’t even recognize me as the ugly duckling from his past.

I was the most forgettable girl in high school. You know the one – fat, braces, bad clothes, the works. And so painfully awkward that it never occurred to me to fight back, even when the other kids said I got beat with the ugly stick.

But ten years later, I’m a whole new woman. I’ve lost weight, gained confidence, and all I want is to enjoy the new life I’ve built and leave the past where it belongs.

Of course, that would be a whole lot easier if I didn’t just find out that big-time hockey star Caleb Stone, the leader of that crew of popular kids who made my high school life so miserable, is back home to play for the Stallions this year after losing his temper on the ice one too many times to stay in the big league.

It’s bad enough that he’s got the whole town talking, but now he’s eating at the diner where I work, shopping where I shop, and to top it off, he’s even living in my building!

Then I see him with his daughter. Daisy has Down syndrome and a smile that lights up a room. And as the sweet little girl and her single dad melt my heart, I start to wonder if maybe Caleb Stone isn’t the man I always thought he was.

So much for leaving the past behind me…

If you’re craving a clean, no spice romance with elements like:

a hockey celebrity returning to his home town


an ugly duckling becoming a swan


a single dad with a very special daughter


a cozy small-town setting


forced proximity


a grumpy sunshine duo you can’t help rooting for

#NewRelease


https://geni.us/SecondSong

Available on Kindle Unlimited




Authors have two favorite words. The End.

He spent the winter reading every one of her love stories. She's been listening to his heartbreak in her favorite three-chord country song for years — long before he showed up behind the bar at the local watering hole.

Seraphina Sinclair has written sixty-one romance novels. All those happily-ever-afters for her characters—and never one for herself.

In real life she's been doing just fine on her own, thank you very much, raising her son in their cliffside home above the Pacific and leaving her heart safely out of the equation. Until her son asks the brooding, beautiful bartender for guitar lessons, and suddenly Hunter Sloan is in her house every Thursday at four-thirty, and Seraphina's muses are working overtime. The man is an absolute problem.

Hunter Sloan came to Willet Cove to disappear. After a bitter divorce, he gave up Nashville and took a job behind the bar at the local pub, telling himself a quieter life was what he needed. He was supposed to heal, write some songs, and figure out what came next. He wasn't supposed to fall for a woman who writes romances for a living and hasn't let anyone close in years. He definitely wasn't supposed to spend an entire winter reading all sixty of her novels alone in a cottage by the sea.

For a year they've been circling each other, neither of them brave enough to close the distance.

Luckily, Seraphina's son and his band of determined teenage matchmakers have other ideas.

The fourth book in the beloved Parent App series, Second Song is a slow-burn, small-town romance about two people who found each other's art before they found each other — and what happens when you fall for the man who wrote your favorite song.

Turns out Seraphina's two favorite words might not be The End after all. They might just be The Beginning.


REVIEWSECOND SONG (THE PARENT APP #4) BY TESS THOMPSON 

Second Song (The Parent App #4)Second Song by Tess Thompson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Every heartbreak has a silver lining. Seraphina and Hunter are a reminder of that. Thompson shakes up the soul with more than a bit of humor and a well of emotion that never runs dry. Second Song is all the feels kind of love song that hits all the right notes.

Love a protective Alpha hero? Preorder Pushing Styxx by E.C. Land now!!







Reserve your copy here 👇

https://geni.us/PushingStyxx




Family is everything, even if it's one you never saw coming.

Styxx

Six months ago, my life was chrome, asphalt, and club business. Now, it’s colic, three a.m. feedings, and trying to figure out how a man with blood on his hands is supposed to raise a daughter. Getting my own place away from the clubhouse was supposed to give us a fresh start, but now I’m drowning. And my brothers' ol' ladies are protective as hell, but they can’t be here every time the baby cries.

Lucky for me, one of the girls next door won't stop offering to babysit. And when I finally take her up on it, it's her older sister who has my attention. I realize I know who she is. Seen her before. Only never in the light of day. She's dancing at night to pay their bills, and seeing her now, I can tell she's on the run from something. I should keep my distance, but I can't help myself. So when their past catches up to them, I'm not about to let them face it alone. I'm used to fighting for my club, and I'm prepared to do whatever it takes to fight for all three of the girls who have become mine.

💍 Arranged Marriage
🪢 Dominant Hero

❤️‍🔥 Enemies to Lovers

💋 Curvy Heroine
👑 High Society Drama
🗡️ Subterfuge and Sinister Threats

🔗 https://geni.us/SurrenderYourGrace

A scandalous twist of fate. A marriage neither expected. A love that defies the rules.

With her unfashionable red hair and generous curves, Lady Cecilia Edwards enters the marriage mart with modest hopes—a respectable gentleman, or perhaps a minor baron. But a moonlit stroll ends in ruin. To salvage her reputation, she must wed the last man she ever imagined: Andrew Ashwick, a wealthy, stunningly handsome viscount, and her older sister’s suitor.

Cecilia fears she’s destined to be forever second best in her new husband’s eyes. Yet in the quiet of Andrew’s country estate, she discovers a man both commanding and unexpectedly passionate. Laughter, tenderness, and stolen kisses begin to stir something deeper—something perilously close to love.

Tragedy and a sudden inheritance send them into the heart of London society. Thrust into the dukedom, Andrew faces the burdens of power while Cici becomes the target of alarming attacks. Is it her envious sister, cheated out of title and fortune, or Andrew’s former mistress, unwilling to let him go? As gossip and betrayal threaten to tear them apart, Cici and Andrew must unmask the hand behind the danger—before jealousy, doubt, and duplicity destroy them both.


About Maddie:


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.

About the Author:

Golden Angel is a USA Today best-selling author and self-described bibliophile with a "kinky" bent who loves to write stories for the characters in her head. If she didn't get them out, she's pretty sure she'd go just a little crazy.

She is happily married, old enough to know better but still too young to care, and a big fan of happily-ever-afters, strong heroes and heroines, and sizzling chemistry.

When she's not writing, she can often be found on the couch reading, in front of her sewing machine making a new cosplay, hanging out with her friends, or wandering the Maryland Renaissance Fair.
