SWEET TROUBLE

Can this former bad boy show his high school crush he has what it takes to be her man?

Tripp Lawrence earned his reputation as Sugarville Grove’s biggest heartbreaker. And even if the title doesn’t fit him anymore, it doesn’t matter. He won’t let himself get tied down to a woman now, because the only one who ever really caught his eye got away years ago.

They say opposites attract, and that couldn’t have been truer for Tripp’s teen infatuation with smart, serious Jillian Johnson. But even though his popularity and athletic prowess back then had every other girl in school weak in the knees, Jillian wouldn’t give him the time of day. And when she moved away he pretty much gave up on ever finding the one.

But when Jillian returns to small town Sugarville Grove just in time for the holidays with two adorable little girls in tow, Tripp finds his heart pounding and his palms sweating over his crush all over again.

If only he hadn’t made such a terrible impression on her back in high school…

Can Tripp reform his ways and show Jillian that he’s a new man now?

It might just take a Christmas miracle, the help of the whole crew at the Lawrence family farm, and two very special little girls…


REVIEWSWEET TROUBLE (SUGARVILLE GROVE) BY CLARA PINES

Sweet Trouble (Sugarville Grove #11)
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Pines dares the soul to be vulnerable. Sweet Trouble turns beautiful into haunting. Tripp and Jillian take the heart on an enchanting through destiny. From endearing to heartbreaking, Pines takes emotions to the limit.




UNSCRIPTED CHRISTMAS

Can a Hollywood star and a small-town speech therapist turn their impossible attraction into forever?

Jason Hayes has spent years chasing success and finally catching it. With a hit television show, a producer credit, and a future locked in Hollywood, he should feel fulfilled. Instead, when filming shuts down for December, he finds himself craving something fame has never given him. So he heads home to Sugarville Grove… and straight back into the orbit of the woman he can't stop thinking about.

Mauve didn't plan to fall for a famous actor, especially not after rebuilding her life post-divorce. Trading New York City for a quiet Vermont town gave her peace, purpose, and a job she loves helping children find their voices. Jason was supposed to be a fun, fleeting holiday spark. Nothing more.

Then came three perfect days in Los Angeles. Now he's back for Christmas and unable to stay away from the woman who's been on his mind ever since.

As snowy nights, cozy traditions, and Sugarville Grove’s tight-knit community pull them closer, Mauve sees past the celebrity to the man beneath—the one who's always dreamed of the family he never had. Jason, meanwhile, begins to wonder if the life he's built means anything without someone to share it with.

They want the same things. They just live in different worlds.

This Christmas, they'll have to decide whether to chase separate dreams on opposite coasts or risk everything for the love they both want.


REVIEW: UNSCRIPTED CHRISTMAS (SUGARVILLE GROVE) BY TESS THOMPSON

Unscripted Christmas (Sugarville Grove #12)
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Thompson turns a snow globe fantasy into the sweetest romance. Unscripted Christmas takes an emotional stroll down memory lane to rediscover it's heart. Mauve and Jason are irresistible.

The Hunter and The Prey (Good Girls, Bad Guys #2) by Evelyn Sola releases July 9th!




Release Date: July 9, 2026


Cori Lamb started something she was not prepared to finish. 


In Shadow Cove, quiet streets hide dark secrets. When a dangerous game of cat and mouse begins, it's hard to tell who is the hunter—and who will become the prey.

Cori Lamb lost her chance at the life she'd pictured when circumstances pushed her into new responsibilities. She swapped sketches and runways for real‑world obligations. Instead of the career she long dreamed of, she now works as a small‑town private investigator, digging up other people's secrets.

Enter Daxton Hunt: handsome and unmistakable. Quiet by day, yet impossible to ignore. But beneath his polished veneer, something darker and magnetic lurks. Dax meets Cori's probing with a hungry intensity, letting her believe she was closing in while he gently steered the chase. Soon, he issues a demand that overturns their cat‑and‑mouse game. Despite her resistance, there is a secret thrill. Part of her wants him to catch her, to close the distance between hunter and prey.

As she pushes back, she can't ignore the steadiness he shows as he becomes someone she can count on. Together they pry open old betrayals and unearth family secrets that claw into the light. Cori must decide whether to accept an alliance that will push her farther than she ever thought possible.

The Hunter and the Prey is the second installment of the Good Girls, Bad Guys series — a dark romance about power and the dangerous chemistry between two people who know how far the other will go to get what they want.

Release DateJanuary 9, 2026



In the small, quiet town of Shadow Cove, appearances hide dark secrets — and new beginnings can spark deadly games.

Eden Rose, a dedicated physical therapist and the sheriff’s daughter, never expected to cross paths with a reckless motorcycle biker with a criminal past. When Ripley King saves her from being drugged at his nightclub, a dangerous obsession ignites. His tattoos and leather-clad danger draw her in, but his involvement in illegal activities threatens to destroy everything she loves.

As Ripley's need to claim her grows, Eden fears her carefully crafted world, her family's reputation, and her sense of safety will come apart. She aches to believe in their love, but the darker truths of Shadow Cove—her father's world and Ripley's secrets—push her to the edge. Can their passion withstand the chaos, or will the weight of her fears bury them both before they even have a chance?

The Rose and the Crown is the first installment in the Good Girls, Bad Guys series — a pull-no-punches tale of desire, danger, and the fight to trust in a small town where everyone’s hiding something.

HAPPY BOOK WEEK


Owen by Cassie Colton is HERE!!!

https://geni.us/Owen


After ten years of silence, Owen Wolfe returns to Wolfe Mountain to lay his father to rest and face the five brothers he left behind after a bitter family rift. The plan is simple—settle the estate and walk away again.

But Jeremiah Wolfe had other ideas.

At the reading of the will, the brothers learn their father left the rundown Wolfe Mountain resort, along with its abandoned cabins, failing ski lodge, and the legendary wolf-shaped peak, to all his sons… including one they’ve never met. There’s only one condition: every brother must remain on the mountain for one full year or lose everything. The mountain will go to Leslie Wilkins, Owen’s former fiancée.

If they stay, a five-million-dollar purchase offer is waiting at the end of that year.

As suspicion grows and secrets begin to surface, the Wolfe brothers must put aside a decade of anger to uncover the truth about their father’s death… and decide whether Wolfe Mountain is worth saving.

But for Owen, the greatest battle isn’t on the mountain. It’s proving to Leslie that the man who once walked away is not the same man who returned.

Because losing his family again isn’t an option.


REVIEWOWEN (BROTHERHOOD PROTECTORS; WOLFE MOUNTAIN  MEN #1) BY CASSIE COLTON

OWEN: Brotherhood Protectors World (THE WOLFE MOUNTAIN MEN Book 1)OWEN: Brotherhood Protectors World by Cassie Colton

Say You Love Me (Lovers Lodge #1) by @authorjamirogers is #NowLive!


"...the kind of heartache worth fighting for.  From star-crossed drama to soulful romance, love exposes itself from every angle." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)





Release Date: June 9, 2026


One offer from Dutton Richford is all it takes to land me in a deal with the enemy.

For a man who I've spent most of my life despising (and I assumed it went both ways), he knew exactly what to say to convince me to help him.

You see, he wants his father to choose him as the next owner of Lovers Lodge, the destination venue our small town is most known for, and I want to finally own my own business and expand it.

We both have obstacles that are keeping us from getting what we want, and somehow, teaming up makes the most sense.

It doesn’t take long for me to learn that I never really knew the man who has managed to steal my attention in just a few short weeks. The man who is much more observant and kinder than I expected him to be. Don’t even get me started on his bright green eyes, his sculpted body, and the dimple in his left cheek when he smiles. Which is rare, by the way, but he’s starting to do it more and more often with me.

The way my heart pounds and my body heats when he’s near me, looks at me, touches me, or speaks to me is something I’m beginning to crave.

It makes hating him that much harder.

And that’s a problem, because what’s a girl supposed to do when a harmless deal turns into something more with a man who has always been forbidden?

Tropes for Say You Love Me include small town, banter, heat, enemies who become friends who become more, forbidden love, and so much more!

REVIEW: SAY YOU LOVE ME (LOVERS LODGE #1) BY JAMI ROGERS

Say You Love Me (Lovers Lodge Book 1)

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I just can't get enough. Rogers speaks from the heart. Say You Love Me is the kind of heartache worth fighting for. Dutton and Brooke turn bitterness into sweet seduction. From star-crossed drama to soulful romance, love exposes itself from every angle.

Available on All Platforms




He rescued her, and now he’s going to claim her as his.

Reyes
When I get the call from the Midnight Haven, that we have someone asking for help, I assume that it’s going to be like every other rescue.
Until I get there and see just who we’re saving.
Taylor.
She’s curvy and beautiful, but that’s not what has my mouth watering.
It’s the fact that she’s mine.
Now that I’ve found my fated mate, I have to do a few things.
First, get her to safety.
Second, tell her about shifters and fated mates.
And third, convince her that she’s meant to be mine.

Taylor
When I’m kidnapped, I’m not sure what’s going on or how I’ll get out of this mess.
Luckily for me, a hero comes to save me.
He takes me back to his place and makes sure that I’m okay.
My crush on him starts that night, and it only grows from there.
Reyes is so handsome and kind.
I’m sure that he’d never be interested in someone like me.
Then he drops a bomb on me.
He tells me that he’s a shifter, that we’re fated mates, and that I’m meant to be his.
This all seems to be too good to be true.
Now I’m left wondering whether he's telling the truth, and what that means for the future.

#NewRelease




These babies get their magical prowess from their badass, witchy mama!


And don't you ever forget it...


Get your copy of Newborn Cries & Underworld Ties by Brenda Trim now!!





 

🔗 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.
