Bonus Content Narrated by: Savannah Peachwood & Lee Samuels 




Prepare for the worst, but hope for the best.

That's what Lily Calloway and Loren Hale try to do when his father schedules an "important" meeting. The problem: after being swept into the public eye and battling their addictions, they're not sure what the worst is anymore.

In a sea of many changes—including Ryke and Daisy living with them—Lily realizes that the best part of her fluctuating hormones might just be the worst. Her sex drive is out of control.

Loren knows that she's insatiable, but he's not giving up on her. She's too much a part of him. And as he carries more and more responsibility, some of the people that he loves doubt his resolve.

Lily and Lo stand side-by-side to fight, one last time, for their happily ever after.

24 Roses: A Friends-to-Lovers Romance by Elena M. Reyes


"From heartbreaking to breathtaking ....Reyes delves deep into the soul. A broken heart becomes an enduring legacy of love from every angle." -(Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)


#KindleUnlimited ❥ https://amzn.to/428Tqgg




24 roses.

24 days of devotion.

24 chances to make her mine.


I’ve loved Anahi Pratt since the day she moved in next door.

Before I knew what love was or understood true, selfish want.


She was all knobby knees and braces—the greenest eyes I’ve ever seen—changing both our fates with one simple glance.


But I was quiet. Careful. Did the only thing I could...


I became her friend.


Years passed, but those feelings never changed. Instead, they grew—turning into something all-consuming. And while I stayed on the sidelines, she never looked at me as something more.


Not as a man who worships her.

Not as the man who will burn the world for her.


Then everything changed.


A crash. A hospital room.

Her life on the line—and my world came to a screeching halt.


That was the moment I understood the truth:


Tomorrow is a lie we tell ourselves.


She’s always been mine, and I’m done waiting.



REVIEW: 24 ROSES (FOREVER AND ALWAYS) BY ELENA M. REYES

24 Roses (Forever And Always): A Friends to Lovers Romance
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Reyes delves deep into the soul. From heartbreaking to breathtaking, Adahi and Bryson take emotions outside of their comfort zone and into the abyss of love. A broken heart becomes an enduring legacy of love from every angle. 24 Roses is a beautiful mess that dares to expose it's humanity.

J. Saman has revealed the narrators for Forever Fighting!

Narrated by: Austin Stone & Erin Mallon

Release Date: June 1, 2026

My best friend is the definition of a bad boy. A billionaire celebrity chef and underground boxer wrapped in muscles, tattoos, and mystery. 
To me, he's simply Roman Fritz. A little grumpy and a lot broken, but with a heart of gold.
When I catch my fiancΓ© cheating, Roman suggests I join him in Las Vegas for the opening of his restaurant, then on to a resort in Mexico where he's starting another.
It feels like the perfect escape from everything.
Until we wake up married.
We say it doesn't mean anything. That our friendship can handle a little Vegas mishap.
Then we get to Mexico and somewhere between only one bed in our villa and seeing him in a way I never have before, our friendship crosses the uncrossable line.
For five days it's sun, sand, and Roman pushing my limits while taking my body and heart places I never knew were possible.
That is until the world catches up with us and unexpected threats crawl out of dark places.
And just when we think we're done fighting and have finally won, a one-two punch comes out of nowhere, determined to knock us out for good.

What you’ll love in Forever Fighting…

 #RESORT CRUSH


A small town, opposites attract, workplace romance 

 

He lives by schedules, spreadsheet and always knowing what’s next.


She lives for trails, takeoffs, and the thrill of what comes next.


Nora Wilder is always looking for her next thrill, so when she lands a job as an adventure guide at the Lakeview Harbor Resort, it finally feels like she’s found a place where she belongs. Except what seemed like a dream job quickly goes south after a series of run-ins with one of the resort’s owners threatens the future she’s building.


Investing in the resort where he met his closest friends made perfect sense to Milo Keene. But for someone who lives for spreadsheets, participating in any of the resort’s outdoor activities is more than a little outside his comfort zone. And that’s not even counting the resort’s newest adventure guide who seems determined to terrorize him.


Milo’s survival instincts are screaming at him to stay away from Nora. But when she unexpectedly comes to his rescue—and Milo admits that he maybe, possibly has feelings for her—what started as a crush might turn into the adventure neither saw coming.

Lucky 22 by Ashley Eckstein and Samantha Chase is releasing, September 8th. #Preorder today.


"An endearing charmer. There is no turning back once you turn that first page." - (Isha C, Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




Release DateSeptember 8, 2026



Twenty-two was just a lucky number.

Until it wasn’t.

Ella Rose Holt believes in magic. Not always the fairy-tale kind, but the quiet kind that shows up when you least expect it. On the brink of her golden birthday, chasing acting dreams in Los Angeles, Ella’s life feels full of possibility…and just a little unfinished.

Christian Lucas has built his world on discipline, dedication, and the game he loves. As a professional baseball player, his life is carefully scheduled, a bit guarded, and rarely spontaneous.

When a chance encounter, a lucky number, and a not-so-blind blind date bring them together, neither is prepared for the connection that follows.

What starts as an unexpected meeting quickly becomes something deeper—an easy friendship, a steady trust, and a romance that grows quietly but undeniably. As their worlds collide under bright stadium lights and red-carpet flashes, Ella and Christian must decide whether love has a place in lives already full of ambition, sacrifice, and dreams in motion.

Because sometimes, the most extraordinary love stories aren’t loud or dramatic.

They’re built on faith.

On timing.

On believing that when the moment comes, you’ll be brave enough to say yes.

And a little bit of luck.

This limited-edition paperback also features specially designed edges, crafted for readers who believe in love stories worth holding on to.

Bursting with personality, Lucky 22 puts the heart on full display. From over the top to under the radar still waters run deep. Ella and Christian are irresistible.

BLURB 

 

From Amazon bestselling author Lylah James comes a new dark, arranged-marriage romance about a mafia princess and the cruel man who did everything to ruin her in an effort to make her…his.

For the longest time, I had been a pawn between two empires built on blood.
I had been promised to Matteo, who was supposed to be my future.

But it was his brother who ruined me.

Adrian Salvatore—reckless, merciless, carved from sin and evil. The brother no one dared to control. The one who looked at me like I was always meant to be…his.

He stole my first kiss beneath the moonlight, right there at my engagement party.
And he never stopped.
Not when I begged.
Not when I threatened.

Until one night…

One mistake. One unforgivable moment that shattered everything I was raised to protect. My modesty, my virtue, my family’s honor.

Somehow I found myself bound to Adrian in ways I never wanted.

But he didn’t believe in love.
Everything he had ever done was driven by vengeance.

Adrian wasn’t going to protect me.
Instead, he had promised to break me.

Somewhere between the hate and fear became a reckless obsession.

And with that obsession came more destruction.

We were both damned, but only one of us would survive the monster we’d become.

 

BOUND BY LIES is book one in the dark and twisted FATAL ALLIANCES series.

Narrated by Ri Paige & Hugo Locke

BLURB

I’ve always been the good girl. The preacher’s daughter. The town’s saint. The one who never strays from the rules.

Until one reckless night changes everything.

Calder Bishop is the monster I’ve been warned about my entire life. Heir to the most feared family in Black Hollow Creek. Rancher by day, enforcer by night. His touch carries ruin, his name carries blood, and his gaze makes my prayers falter.

When I stumble into Bishop business, Calder is left with a choice: end my life or claim it. Killing me would be mercy. Keeping me could start a war.

But Calder Bishop has never been a merciful man. And if there’s one thing he wants, it’s me—all to himself.

Now I’m trapped in his world of violence and vengeance, my innocence colliding with his sin. I search for a way out but there is none. Only Calder. It’s when he claims me—branding me with his soul—I learn the truth: the only thing more dangerous than a Bishop’s wrath . . . is his love.
**This is book one in the series and is a complete standalone with a happily ever after. Certain scenes within this book may be triggering to some readers. Please review the trigger list at the beginning of the book before reading.**
