Everyone said they were made for each other. Fate finally caught up.

For years, Ivy James's best friend has been telling her the same thing: Jack Wilder is perfect for you. And Madeleine would know—she's the publicist behind half the biggest names in country music, Jack included. Professionally, personally, she swore they were a perfect match. Ivy never quite took it seriously. She and Jack had crossed paths a dozen times—award shows, back hallways, a handshake and a we should work together sometime—but always in passing, always with a plane to catch.

Jack has spent his whole life disciplined, focused, building an empire one sold-out night at a time. But lately he's started to feel how empty the house gets when he's there alone.

Ivy's gotten everything she ever dreamed of. Number one records. Sold-out arenas. More money than she could spend in a lifetime. The only dream left is the one she's afraid she'll never get—a true love like her mama and daddy have, and a house full of kids.

But some part of Ivy must have been listening to Madeleine after all. Because when she and songwriter Hunter Sloan sat down to write a duet, they wrote it with Jack in mind.

And the moment Ivy and Jack are in a recording booth, singing it together for the first time, they both know.

This is my missing piece. Quite possibly, my forever home.

The prequel to Cowboy Christmas at Crescent Moon Ranch—the soulmate love story that starts it all, and leads to a Christmas Eve wedding under the Montana sky.

A closed-door country music romance. Soulmates, instalove, and a best friend who told them so.


REVIEW: FIRST MOON: A SMALL TOWN CHRISTMAS ROMANCE (CRESCENT MOON RANCH) BY TESS THOMPSON 

First Moon (A Small Town Christmas Romance): Cowboy Christmas at Crescent Moon Ranch - Prequel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Whimsical, heartache finds it's soul hiding in plain sight. Once you meet these characters their connection is hard to forget. Thompson grabs hold of emotions and refuses to give them back.

Derrick “Leo” Armstrong built Serenity Securities as a refuge—an unbreakable brotherhood forged from the military and second chances. On Serenity Mountain, he finally found the life he’d always dreamed of: a home, a purpose, and Catherine, the woman he’d loved for a lifetime. With three children and another on the way, Leo believed his world was complete.

Then one mission shattered everything.

Left reeling by the devastating news of her husband’s death, Catherine must navigate grief while protecting the family Leo adored. As the men of Serenity Securities rally to bring their fallen brother home, the mountain community surrounds Catherine with the same fierce loyalty Leo once gave them. But when a final letter from Leo forces her to face an impossible truth, Catherine makes the heartbreaking choice to call off the search. Her children need closure. Life must move forward.

Leo’s team refuses to accept it.

Driven by loyalty, love, and the lessons Leo carved into their souls, the men of Serenity Securities push deeper into danger, determined to uncover the truth about their mission and bring their brother home. Their greatest mission isn’t one they were trained for.

It’s one they learned from Leo himself: Family is worth fighting for.


REVIEW: FIGHTING FOR FAMILY (SPECIAL FORCES: OPERATION ALPHA; SERENITY SECURITIES TEAM HAWK #6) BY CASSIE COLTON 

Fighting for Family (Special Forces: Operation Alpha) (Serenity Securities, Team Hawk Book 6)
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fighting for Family is a reminder that love has no boundaries. Colton pulls at the heartstrings. From inspirational to soulful, Catherine and Leo are emotion at it's most haunting. Unpredictable takes center stage with thrilling finesse. Love finds redemption in a swan song unlike any other.

Lucky 22 by Ashley Eckstein and Samantha Chase is #nowavailable.


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




Release Date: September 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.

Blurb:

I’ve spent my whole life chasing eight-second rides, gold buckles, and the roar of a sold-out arena. But after watching my big brother win the PBR World Championship, I’m left wondering if the dream I’ve fought so hard for is still the one I want.

So I come home to Wildhaven for the summer, teaching at the Raintree-Storm Rodeo Academy while I figure out what comes next.

Then Marina Kincade walks back into my life.

Five years ago, we were two lonely rodeo stars sharing stolen nights with no promises. Then she disappeared without a goodbye.

Now she’s standing in Wildhaven as the academy’s new barrel racing instructor.

She’s stronger. More guarded. Just as impossible to forget. And the little boy by her side makes it clear that she had a reason to walk away.

As we get to know each other again, a ghost from Marina’s past comes looking for her.

He’s one of the fiercest rivals I’ve ever faced—determined to make sure Marina's future belongs to him, not me.

Blurb:

It started at a masquerade ball …

All I needed to do was show up to the ball, give my perfectly rehearsed speech, and seal this new sponsorship deal for my brother.

It was supposed to be simple, but when the Phantom of the Opera lifts his mask, my heart sinks.

Not only is it not who I intended, it’s much worse.

Max Ferreira. My brother’s new F1 teammate … and biggest rival.

He’s nothing more than a flirt whose only interest in me is to get underneath my brother’s skin.

Max shouldn’t unravel me the way he does.

But I’m nothing if not loyal.

I don’t care how much his eyes light up when he sends me that crooked smile.

Or how carefully he listens, like no one else, when I talk about my true passions.

And, not even when he’s the one to encourage me to go after what I truly want out of life.

None of that is enough to make me disloyal to my family.

Doing so would break my own heart.

Or would it?

It started at a masquerade ball and ended with me falling for my brother’s biggest rival.

Catering To His Demands by #AuthorRoseCCarole releases on September 18th!

https://geni.us/KitchenConfession





Read With Kindle Unlimited

Sam has lost faith in relationships and love. Will Mike be able to crack open her hard shell and teach her to feel again?


As a part owner of Catered Affairs, Sam is a leader in the kitchen, advising the chefs about food, friends and lovers. But as her friends find Doms—and love—Sam stays steadfastly opposed to anything but one-night play scenes, never allowing a Dom to get to know who she really is deep inside.

Mike, a private investigator, is intrigued by the beautiful yet haughty sub, but he’s not interested in a superficial relationship. He becomes fully invested in anyone he plays with, giving them his rapt attention—and expecting it in return. His years in the Special Forces—and a near-death experience—has taught him to treasure every moment in life.

One night, Mike entices Sam into a scene. Through a combination of absolute control and perfectly delivered pain, he takes the staunch masochist to places she has never achieved before, making her unable to resist playing with him again. Every time they meet, Mike pushes her further, laying bare her innermost desires. But Mike finds that Sam’s reluctance to commit keeps pushing back.

As Mike starts to discover why Sam is hesitant to trust anyone, he becomes more determined to shatter her defenses and show her what real surrender to the right Dom can provide her. But a dangerous job for an old Special Forces buddy threatens to put a damper on his efforts. Can their budding relationship survive his need to protect the daughter of a friend?

DON'T FALL ASLEEP UNTIL YOU'VE FINISHED THIS ONE!
Pursuing the Dreamweaver's Loom by Brenda Trim is available now and it's absolutely free with KindleUnlimited!
 


🔗 https://geni.us/DreamweaversLoom



I thought banishing two Princes of Hell would buy me some peace.

Eighteen hours. That's all I got before Phoebe called with news of twelve people dead in their sleep in Millbrook, Iowa—all reporting the same nightmare before their hearts gave out. The Dreamweaver's Loom, an artifact designed to heal trauma by entering dreams, has been twisted into a weapon that traps consciousness and drains life force while victims sleep.

My daughter Amelie asked me what happens if I don't come back. For the first time since I was chosen for this job, I didn't have an answer.

Now I'm hunting a killer who doesn't need to be in the same room to murder you. Someone who can pull you into shared nightmares while you're awake, turn gardens into flesh-eating horrors, and hop between bodies to live forever. The local coven tried to investigate—three of them are in comas. The entire town is terrified to close their eyes.

As a Relic Keeper, I'm supposed to protect artifacts from being corrupted. But this one's already in the hands of someone who's been body-hopping through the Hartley family for decades, and they're not done collecting victims. Every person who falls asleep in a three-mile radius is a potential target. Every dream could be their last.

My team and I have faced impossible odds before. Demons, possessed relics, apocalyptic rituals. But now we're fighting something we can't see. There's no battling your own subconscious when someone else is controlling it.

And the worst part? I have to sleep eventually.

The nightmares are waiting. And this time, I might not wake up.

She's gone from uninitiated failure to the resistance's best hope...


The resistance thought there was more time... now she's preparing for war. 
Romantasy fans, don't wait!
Preorder A Throne of Blood & Betrayal by Brenda Trim now!


A Throne of Blood & Betrayal by Brenda Trim joins the Windtorn Chronicles on September 25!

Welcome to the resistance, where: 
🔥 Misfits become family one crisis at a time — or don't survive long enough to try
🔥 The man keeping you alive has been lying in your protection since before you met
🔥 Your mother's closest friend is the architect of everything you're fighting against
🔥 Ancient powers have been trying to reach your bloodline for twenty years, and no one intercepted the message in time
🔥 Royal blood isn't a crown — it's a set of pieces, scattered, and someone else knows where they all are


🔗 https://geni.us/BloodandBetrayal




Thorne walked into a rupturing veil to save us. That was how I found out what I was worth.

The resistance thought we had time. We didn't. Someone beat us to the sacred site, the fragment we came for is already gone, and the man who knew the most about what I'm supposed to become just sacrificed himself so I could live.

What he left me: an access badge. A crown that isn't one piece. And a war that's been running for twenty years without me.

I'm Mara. Orphan. Former nobody. Apparently the last heir of House Vaelthorne — a bloodline everyone thought Cassian's massacre erased. The Crown my mother hid before she died wasn't whole when she hid it. It was never whole. Three anchoring fragments, deliberately separated during a civil war, designed so no single ruler could hold absolute power.

She hid her piece. She trusted two others to hide theirs.

I've recovered one. The base is in my hands. And somewhere out there, a woman named Aldren — my mother's closest friend, her most trusted aide, the person who helped design the hiding plan — has been working for twenty years to make sure no one ever puts it back together.

Then there's Kael.

Captain Kael Blackwater, who ran the most dangerous intelligence operation in this conflict for eighteen months with a target on his back. Who filed deliberately inaccurate reports to keep me safe before I knew I needed protecting. Who was assigned to assess whether I was a threat — and chose, alone and without telling anyone, to lie.

He is not an easy thing to trust. I'm doing it anyway. Not because he's earned it. Because I looked at the evidence and decided.

The resistance is scattered. The military knows how to hit us where it hurts — through our bond-partners, not through us. Ashford has an embedded advisor feeding him intelligence designed specifically to break sovereign bonds. And the Hollowmaw that keep finding us aren't random. Neither is the Compact faction opening portals across the veil.

I've made contact with something ancient and vast that has been trying to reach my bloodline for twenty years. I have a Vaelthorne cousin who's been working alone in the dark longer than I've known any of this was real. I have a team of people who chose this fight because of me, specifically — and I've had to learn what that means.

The crown requires three anchors and a base.

I have two pieces. The third is with a woman who doesn't trust organizations. The counter-piece — an artifact designed to unmake everything I'm trying to build — is with the architect of my family's destruction.

And the window the Compact gave me isn't permanent. I'm not ready. I stopped waiting to be.
