I’ve loved him my whole life, but he doesn’t know I exist…

Suri
Devon Hayes has been part of my heart for as long as I can remember.
He was older, untouchable, and too focused on protecting the world to notice a curvy wallflower like me.
When he left Colorado to join the Army, I was terrified that I would never see him again.
I couldn’t have that, so I took a chance and did something that I was never brave enough to do when we were in high school together.
I wrote him letters.
Hundreds of them.
Every fear, every dream, every part of my heart poured onto paper.
He never knew it was me, and I never intended to tell him.
Until I get a job offer in Wolf Valley.
I know that I’ll likely never see him again, so in my final letter to Devon, I sign my name.
I figure that will be it and that I’ll have to let go of my crush on him and resign myself to never seeing him again.
Except he follows me here.
Now the man that I’ve always loved is here, and for the first time ever, he’s paying attention to me.

Devon
I joined the Army to serve, to protect, and to make a difference.
It kept me busy for years, and I thought that I had everything I wanted in life.
Until the first letter arrived.
Every month, like clockwork, a new letter would show up, all of them from a woman who refused to give me her name, a woman who seemed to know everything about me, and became everything to me.
Her words kept me alive in the darkest places.
Her kindness saved me when I didn’t want to be saved.
And then she sent me one last note, saying goodbye and finally telling me her name.
Suri Michaels.
She said goodbye in her letter, but I knew that wasn’t the end for us.
It’s the beginning.
I’m out of the military now and ready to settle down.
And I know just who I’m going to do that with.


REVIEW: A VERY GRUMPY SHERIFF (WOLF VALLEY: GRUMPS #15) BY SHAW HART


A Very Grumpy Sheriff (Wolf Valley: Grumps Book 15)
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

With an ironic sense of humor and an overflow of heart, Devon and Suri set off sparks. Hart puts the senses on blast with a temptation too addictive to pass by. The heat is on and the fire is a scorcher.

The Cowboy's Catch by @stellaholtbooks is #NowLive!


"Holt delivers sweet and wild with grit. The Cowboy's Catch turns tempestuous into endearing. With characters that rewrite the rules of romance, anything is possible" - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




A quarterback with a secret. A cowgirl with a past. Undeniable sparks. One small town watching their every move…

Renn Ripley has spent his career as a second string quarterback in Atlanta staying out of the spotlight until a shot at the playoffs throws him into the media’s crosshairs. One wrong headline could expose the secret he’s kept since childhood. To control the fallout, Renn heads to Sandy Point. He didn’t anticipate hooking up with a sexy cowgirl whose kiss feels like a promise and reminds him of his ranch roots.

Miranda Sutton doesn’t get second chances in a town that remembers every mistake. Between running her family’s struggling horse ranch, watching out for her teenage brother and caring for her ill step-mother, she’s learned one hard no man will rescue her. But Miranda has grit and a plan. She’s determined to forget her delicious one night indiscretion with the gorgeous cowboy stranger with the smoldering eyes even though he tempts her to abandon her no more men plan.

Falling for each other could cost them everything…or finally give them both something worth fighting for.

HAPPY BOOK WEEK



Ice Cold Chemistry (Off the Ice #2) by Kendall Ryan is #NowLive!


"Ryan wages a battle of hearts that will leave you with a smile.  Sweet and spicy join forces with unforgettably, irresistible results." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




Narrated by Connor Crais and Rose Dioro


The team’s broodiest defenseman meets his match in a sunshine yoga instructor who doesn’t take no for an answer.

Banks doesn’t do relationships. Doesn’t do feelings. Doesn’t do yoga.

Winnie’s about to change all that.

Ice Cold Chemistry is a grumpy-sunshine hockey romance, and oh... it’s going to get spicy!





💙 a broody hockey defenseman

💙 a sunshine yoga instructor

💙 explosive chemistry


Tropes:

Grumpiest of grumpy/sunshine

Hockey Player x Yoga Instructor

Fake Dating

Possessive / protective hero

Opposites attract

Brooding hero softened by sunshine heroine  




About the Book:

She’s the distraction the team can’t afford.

He’s the solution no one saw coming.

Winnie Garrett is done with men. 

After a toxic relationship left her second-guessing everything, she’s focused on one thing: her dream job as the New York Knights’ new yoga instructor.

Banks Callahan doesn’t do relationships. 

Or feelings. Or anything that requires letting people get close. Growing up in the foster system taught him not to need anyone—and definitely not to want something he could lose.

So when the team’s new yoga instructor becomes an unexpected locker-room distraction threatening their playoff focus, Banks comes up with a solution so ridiculous it just might work.

Fake dating.

If the guys think Winnie is his, they’ll back off. It’s simple locker room code: you don’t touch what’s claimed—like calling dibs on the last slice of pizza.

The problem?

Nothing about Winnie Garrett is simple.

She’s warmth and laughter and everything Banks has spent years convincing himself he doesn’t need. She makes him want things he can’t have. Makes him feel things he doesn’t understand.

He was never supposed to fall for her.

But somewhere between fake hand-holding, pretend nicknames, and very real late-night moments, the line between “just for show” and “dangerously real” starts to blur.

Ice Cold Chemistry is a slow-burn hockey romance featuring fake dating, a grumpy hero, a sunshine heroine, and the relationship neither of them planned—but both might need.

The Hockey Problem (Off the Ice #1) by Kendall Ryan is #nowavailable.


"The spice of life meets the thrill of romance. Zayden and Tori break the rules of emotion to deliver sweet and soulful.  Unpredictable dives into irresistible to find unforgettable." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)





She’s the fierce physical therapist who refuses to blur the lines. He’s the NHL’s most guarded single dad… who definitely isn’t supposed to fall for her.


Expect electric chemistry, sharp banter, and a slow burn that sneaks up on you and then completely wrecks you—in the best way. I’m so obsessed with these two, and I can’t wait for you to fall for them too. 💙

Blurb:

Perfectly Yours Boxset includes the novels Perfect Song and Perfect Someday

Perfect Song

I came back to Mason Creek when my life was turned upside down, both literally and figuratively. Scared and alone, I packed my belongings and left New York where I’ve made a career as a writer for a national publication to stay with my parents in the town so different than the big apple they might as well be on different planets.

Getting to see my friends was a big plus, but meeting someone new never crossed my mind until a ruggedly handsome man in jeans and a worn baseball cap came over to say hello. Not knowing someone in this small town is like not knowing how to breathe. The slightly older man caught my eye, just as much as I caught his. A witty and roguish personality kept me on my toes, even if falling for someone new is the last thing I need.

Neither of us wants a relationship, yet we keep finding each other in this small town. Rumors fly, hearts connect, and there’s more at stake than either of us are willing to share.

This man has secrets everyone wants to know, but when more than he’s willing to share is revealed I hope I’m strong enough to help him. I may have come back to town to save myself, but saving him might be the real reason I’m here.

Perfect Someday

Growing up in small-town Mason Creek, it's hard for a girl to dream big. Since my mom was barely making ends meet, I knew moving away for college wasn’t in the cards. What I didn’t know was how singing a Miranda Lambert song while unpacking a box would change my life forever ... and take me away from the only boy I’d ever loved.

Matthew Simms was the guy I was destined to be with. Understanding, caring, and the town’s star athlete, he was my everything … including my first heartbreak. We both left Mason Creek to chase our dreams, leaving our love behind.

I never planned on coming back, but when a cruel turn of events strikes five years later, I’m shocked to come face-to-face with Matthew. Gone is the boy I left, and in his place is a man—handsome, strong, and rugged. There’s no denying our attraction lingers in the air, yet the reasons that kept us apart all this time are still as strong as ever.

He is the man of my dreams, but I chose the life I desired over him.

In the back of my mind, I always thought we'd be together someday.

Well, someday is today.

Only now, just as everything I’ve ever wished for is coming true, I wonder if I chose to chase the wrong dream.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Delphine Delacroix does not date.
Delphine Delacroix does not chat.
Delphine Delacroix especially has no interest in the quietly sunny bookstore owner everyone thinks is perfect for her.

Six years after losing her husband, Delphine has built a quiet life on control, routine, and careful distance. She runs her gallery by day. She raises her daughter. And in a small studio behind her cottage, she throws pots — slowly, patiently, for no one but herself — because clay is the only thing that's ever let her make something whole out of something broken.

She politely, firmly, and with increasing exasperation, declines every matchmaking attempt the good people of Willet Cove have made on her behalf for the last three years.

Delphine is fine. Delphine is fine.

Then fifteen-year-old Annie makes the bravest choice of her young life: she walks into a grief support group alone. And Delphine — who has spent six years refusing that same room — is undone.

She's not the only one who notices.

Dorian Flynn has always politely suggested that Delphine Delacroix might have opinions of her own about whom she dates. Then he sees a teenage girl sitting by herself in a room meant for grown-ups — and the fiercely guarded woman who comes to pick her up, clay still dried on her wrists — and realizes the entire town may have had a point all along.

Delphine is wary. Dorian is patient. And somehow, between hesitant conversations in quiet bookstore aisles, a watchful shop cat with opinions of his own, and a girl who deserves more than silence, an unlikely found family begins to form.

But letting someone in means risking the one thing Delphine has fought for six years to protect. And the longer she circles Dorian, the more she begins to suspect that the truth she's been outrunning — about her husband, about herself, about what she's really been afraid of — is finally ready to catch up with her.

She's been wrong about the past.
She might be wrong about love, too.

Dorian is counting on it.

Second Edition is the fifth and final book in the Parent App series — a deeply emotional, slow-burn, behind-closed-doors small-town romance featuring a grumpy single-mom gallery owner and potter, a quiet Navy-veteran sunshine hero with a soft spot for the girl who needs him, found family, a meddling bookstore cat with opinions, meddling teenage matchmakers, and a powerful journey through grief, healing, and the terrifying hope of a second chance at love.

Because in Willet Cove, some love stories aren't written in the first draft.
They're the ones you finally let yourself revise.


REVIEW: SECOND EDITION (THE PARENT APP #5) BY TESS THOMPSON

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

Emotion that speaks it's truth and dares to be vulnerable. Second Edition wears it's soul like a badge of honor. Thompson throws off the blinders and exposes the uncertainty of love. From a beautiful mess to a stunning romance, the heart is on full display.

Daring Delaney by Cassie Colton releases on June 30th!

https://geni.us/DaringDelaney


Read With Kindle Unlimited




Delaney Henderson thought she’d found her dream life in a five-star kitchen until a dangerous affair with her boss exposed a web of lies, betrayal, and embezzlement that could destroy her. With nowhere else to turn, she escapes to Haven Ranch for a fresh start as the ranch cook, hoping her past stays buried.

David “Mac” Walters, a former Marine, built a quiet life on the ranch, grounded in loyalty, honor, and hard-earned peace. The last thing he expects is the fiery, wounded chef who cooks her way into his heart, and straight through his defenses.
When a devastating accident leaves Delaney vulnerable and pregnant, Mac steps in without hesitation, offering her shelter and protection. But as the heat between them ignites into something deeper, doubts creep in. Mac can’t ignore the years between them, and Delaney fears trusting her heart.

Just when she starts to believe in a future, the past returns, threatening her and her child.

Mac will have to prove he’s strong enough to protect her, brave enough to claim her, and fearless enough to fight for the life they both desire.

📣 CALLING ALL ROMANTASY FANS:

A Crown of Wings & Wrath by @author_brendatrim is live on Amazon and FREE to read with KindleUnlimited!





I survived my first year at Thornwick. That was the easy part.

They moved me to Stormwind Squadron—the military's dumping ground for riders who are too dangerous, too valuable, or too damaged for regular units. My new squadmates include a griffin rider who steals memories and a pegasus rider whose healing magic sometimes kills instead of cures.

We're the ones they don't trust. The ones they can't afford to lose.

The Forsaken are hunting anyone with royal blood. And my ability to amplify other riders' powers? That's a signature trait of House Vaelthorne, the royal family everyone thought died twenty years ago.

Turns out, I'm not just some foster kid who got lucky. I'm the last heir to a throne that doesn't exist anymore.

And Kael knew. The whole time...

He's keeping me alive by keeping me complicit.

And I'm falling for him anyway—for the man who kisses me like an apology while hiding the truth about why things with teeth keep finding me, who might have orders to eliminate me the second my bloodline becomes more valuable dead than alive.

Surviving first year was supposed to be the hard part.

No one warned me the real test is deciding who to trust when everyone's keeping deadly secrets.
