"...a sizzling, laugh out loud, bundle of emotion that sets off sparks.  Romance with heart brings the heat." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




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.

HAPPY BOOK WEEK 

The Ugly Stick by Cori Lane is #nowavailable!


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


This is the book for you!







https://geni.us/TheUglyStick


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…



REVIEWTHE UGLY STICK (STALLIONS HOCKEY) BY CORI LANE


The Ugly Stick: A Clean & Wholesome Hockey Romance (Stallions Hockey Romance Book 1)

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When you free your mind and open your heart, the true meaning of love will be revealed. Lane turns heartbreak into heartwarming with characters that are hard to resist. From laugh out loud to touch the soul, The Ugly Stick turns a whisper of heartache into a shout of triumph.

First in a new series where meet-cutes go wrong… or exactly right.

Pilot Rory Baker was born to fly. Schlepping around Lincoln Kerr, a billionaire with an ego as big as his bank balance? Not so much. Especially when Lincoln suddenly demands they fly to Hawaii despite severe weather warnings. Rory’s perfect flying record is about to crash and burn—literally. It’s a miracle he survives. Even more miraculous that rescuers find him in the middle of a Hawaiian jungle, and one of them is the hottest woman he’s ever seen…who also happens to swing a machete like a champ. Rory makes a snap decision: pretend to be his boss until he knows who he can trust.

Mathilda Wheeler is living on borrowed time. An agreement with her parents has allowed her to live the carefree life of a grad student for nearly a decade, but she’s been avoiding a major decision—one that’s about to track her down all the way from England to a hidden research camp in a lush Hawaiian valley. Why now, when she’s finally found a man she could love? And why him, billionaire Lincoln Kerr, the very type she’s been avoiding? Though…Mathilda has to admit, he’s unlike any rich guy she’s ever met. For instance, even some of her fellow scientists seem to know more about Lincoln’s personal and professional life than the man himself.

Hidden identities, ancient bequests, intimate nights, a jackass billionaire…and speaking of, what was Lincoln Kerr’s super-secret trip to Hawaii all about, anyway? Rory and Mathilda have no idea. But judging by the sudden appearance of murder drones and masked commandos, clearly there’s more to this story than an accidental one-in-a-billion meet-cute.


REVIEW: ONE IN A BILLION (ACCIDENTALLY YOURS #1) BY JENNIFER BERNARD

One in a Billion (Accidentally Yours Book 1)
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Intriguing, temptation that dives heart first into the danger zone. Bernard takes emotions on an adventure. From unpredictable to inevitable is a wild ride. From secret identities to dangerous liaisons, Matilda and Rory turn captivating into enduring..

THRILLING NEW ROMANTIC URBAN FANTASY


The Devil's Advocate by Brenda Trim is live and available now on Amazon and KindleUnlimited!


⚖️ Midlife Awakening

✨ Hidden Supernatural World

⚖️ An Inherited Quest

✨ Ancient Conspiracy

⚖️ Race Against Time

✨ Kickass Heroine





🔗 https://geni.us/DevilsAdvocate




I thought I was having a breakdown when I started seeing glowing contracts written on people's skin. Turns out, I was just coming into my inheritance—and uncovering a conspiracy two centuries old.

My name is Margot Kane, and at forty-three, I was one of the best attorneys in Chicago. Then my grandmother died and left me the truth: I'm a crossroads demon, born to negotiate deals between desperate mortals and the gods who've been exploiting them for sport.

My first cursed client? A jazz musician who sold his talent to Baron Samedi. Now the death god wants his six-year-old daughter as payment, and I'm supposed to facilitate this nightmare. Then I find my dead mother's research hidden in my grandmother's things, and everything changes.

Crossroads demons weren't meant to be facilitators. Our purpose is enforcement. We once had the power to nullify predatory contracts, to hold gods accountable, and to protect mortals from divine tyranny. Until 1823, when the lwa convinced us we'd never had that authority at all. They've been running unchecked ever since.

My mother died trying to restore those powers. Now I have three weeks to finish the job that got her killed before my client's daughter is condemned.

Baron Samedi is watching my every move with that infuriating smirk, waiting for me to fail. Papa Legba warns me I'm walking the same path that claimed my mother's life. And Erzulie—the goddess who murdered her—is already sharpening her knives.

I didn't go to law school to start a war with the gods. But I'll be damned if I let them keep exploiting mortals with their stipulations and manipulations.

The retainer is steep. The opposing counsel is immortal. And this career change could cost me my soul. But this time? I'm not just defending my client. I'm taking back everything they stole from us.

For fans of Kim Harrison's The Hollows and Ilona Andrews' Kate Daniels, CROSSROADS OF THE DAMNED is a snarky, sexy urban fantasy where corporate law meets voodoo politics, and the only thing more dangerous than challenging the gods is falling for one.

🔗 https://geni.us/UnderworldTies  





Just when I thought surviving magical pregnancy and childbirth was the hard part, someone decides my three-month-old triplets would make excellent supernatural snacks.

Between Melaina accidentally melting baby bottles with her heat, Thaniel shorting out every electronic device in a two-block radius, and Nyssa's shadows reaching for things that definitely shouldn't be in a baby's mouth, I've got my hands full. Add a hooded attacker targeting magical infants across New England, and "sleep when the baby sleeps" becomes "sleep when you're not dodging magical assassination attempts."

The worst part? The attacks are coming from inside our own supernatural community. Someone we trust has been playing the long game and upping the stakes to claim my babies as the ultimate jackpot.

With Stella riding shotgun on our investigation, Nana providing tactical support and questionable childcare advice, and my family rallying around three tiny magical weapons of mass destruction, we're about to learn that some betrayals cut deeper than others. Because when you're responsible for protecting the next generation of supernatural badasses, everyone's a suspect—even the people who helped bring them into the world.

Good thing I've got excellent aim, a low tolerance for baby-threatening psychopaths, and a mate who considers "proportional response" more of a suggestion than a rule.

Some people collect stamps. Apparently, I collect enemies who want to steal my children's magic. At least my hobbies keep life interesting.

New mom, new magic, same old tendency to attract homicidal maniacs with delusions of grandeur.
