Title: High Velocity (High Mountain Trackers HMT 2G, #4) 
Author: Freya Barker 
Performed by: Cindy Harden & Vincent Skye 
Genre: Romantic Suspense 
Release Date: December 30, 2025 


When the FBI sidelines Special Agent Stephanie Kramer over health concerns, she sees her hard-won dream career go down the drain. Suddenly adrift and without purpose, she jumps at the chance when a friend offers for her to stay in their trailer by a quiet, secluded creek near Libby, Montana. As much as she tries to enjoy the tranquil settings, it’s not long before local wildlife—and the man chasing it—invade her sanctuary. When it appears the job she’s trying to leave behind is following her to Libby, the illusion of her solitary retreat is shattered.

After that last special ops assignment cost Jackson Hart his leg, he’s had a hell of a time getting back on his proverbial feet. Being hired as a member of the High Mountain Trackers team went a long way to reclaiming his sense of identity. He’s back in the saddle and adapting to a pared-down, mostly solitary existence. So the sudden jolt to his gut, when he encounters the blond federal agent he remembers well, is a harsh reminder of what is missing from his life.

Still, as much as they try to avoid the other, they seem destined to cross paths. Whether it is the intimidation of a local predator, or the threat of a former nemesis, it becomes clear they stand stronger together.

Release Blitz & Review - THE MYSTERIOUS ONE by Marni Mann

The Mysterious One by Marni Mann is now live!



A spicy grumpy-sunshine, age-gap, close-proximity romance from USA Today best-selling author Marni Mann …

I’m the mysterious one. The angriest alphahole who never bends. And she’s the woman who will bring me to my knees.

As the executive chef and face of my family’s billion-dollar empire, time is the one luxury I don't have. With endless responsibilities and nonstop demands, I lost my passion and love for the art of cooking. What used to be my dream job is now my worst nightmare. I was ready to walk away and give up everything we’d built …

Until Alivia happened.

She was supposed to be a temporary diversion so we could satisfy each other’s desires and then never see each other again …

Yet I knew she was different right away. A woman who was my complete opposite, the calm to my storm. The sunshine to my darkness. With a body that left me speechless.

What I didn’t see was how much we both craved a break.
Me from a career that would eventually kill me, her from an abusive home life.

When two people in pain connect, an explosion erupts. That was us. All fire and longing, mixed with a genuine need to seek shelter in one another’s arms.

While I’m still savoring the taste of her on my lips, I see her again unexpectedly and wonder … is our connection enough to surpass the secrets between us, or were we only meant to have those two nights together?

4 Stars

This is my first read of the Weston Group and I will need to go back and find time to read the others. This is Walker's story and it is certainly one full of emotions and real chemistry that jumps off the pages. Not all of those emotions are good ones as Walker tried to figure out what to do with himself, he has lost his spark in the kitchen and found a grumpy growl instead.

What was meant to be a one night thing with no attachments and no plans for more, a way to destress and let things go, turned out to be so much more from the very beginning. From the time she walked in his hotel room, he felt a shift in the energy. He could breathe a little better and she somehow managed to quiet the noise in his head. This is just what he needed. But once she left it was too much, he needed that calm she brought.

When life sends them in a tailspin as Alivia finds herself working for them at Charred, neither of them know how to handle it at first. What ramifications will they find? Can they keep their contact to a business only? Could it be that they were meant to find one another and help each other find life and happiness?

ATTACKING THE ZONE
Elise Faber

Release Date: December 26

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED 



I can protect her from everything—

Except from wanting me.

Kylie Connors survived the worst kind of betrayal, but now everyone treats her like she’s untouchable.

And the truth is…she is.

As the younger sister of the Sierra’s general manager, any man who's interested in her would have to risk his career for a chance with her.

But then she asks me for help feeling something good again. Something real.

I’ve wanted her in silence for years, burying the truth that she’s the only woman I’ve ever truly craved. She’s forbidden, off-limits, and choosing her could cost me all I’ve built…and rattle the foundation of the life Kylie’s fought so hard to rebuild.

But when she trusts me enough to take that first step, every instinct in me screams to take the next ten for her.

And if she asks for more…I know I won’t hold back.

Even if it costs me everything.

Release Blitz & Review - HARD ROCK BOTTOM OF YOUR HEART by Giulia Lagomarsino

Series: The Last Place for Love Book #1
Author: Giulia Lagomarsino
Genre/Tropes: Romantic Suspense; Small Town Romance; Western Romance  
Release Date: December 15, 2025
Cover Design: Artscandar
Cover Model: Tony Brettman






If I had known that night that being in my life would put her in danger, I never would have asked her to dance.

For years, I’d danced around this flirtation with Bailey. We both knew it would eventually lead to that big, white chapel, overwhelming love, and a lifetime together that would rival any tragic love story.

If it weren’t for that dance.

That was the night everything changed.

I’d been planning this night with Bailey since I was in third grade when I rescued her from the monkey bars.

Ever since then, she was mine.

She knew it. My family knew it. Hell, the entire town had been waiting for the moment I would finally make my move.

Apparently, so was someone else.

But there was no joy where he was concerned, only a need for revenge that would destroy any happiness the two of us shared, along with anyone in my family.

No matter how hard I tried, there was no way out.

Her life was in danger, and it was all because of me. And that was something I just couldn’t tolerate.

She was the love of my life, but keeping her alive was more important than winning her in the end.




3.5 Stars

A great start to a new series with lots to learn about this small town while Liam and Bailey find their way together. There is plenty of banter, rollercoaster of emotions, secrets, lies and lots of suspense.

Liam and Bailey have danced around each other for so long the town folk were beginning to wonder if they would ever find their way to each other. When it finally happened everyone was ready for wonderful things. Nobody was prepared for the rollercoaster that became their relationship. 

All the things happening, Liam's paranoia and pushing Bailey away to protect her, Bailey fighting for what she believed to be worth it.

Will they be able to find their place to happiness with all this distractions.

“So, Liam, what took you so long to ask me to dance?”

“Can’t a man have any secrets?”

“Not in this town,” she chuckled.

My eyes left hers for only a moment, but it was long enough to see the entire bar staring at us. “Alright, fair enough.”

“You know, I’ve had a crush on you since you helped me off the monkey bars in second grade.”

“Third,” I corrected. “You climbed up there in that pink dress, determined to be just like the boys.”

“You remembered.”

If she only knew how much I watched her. “There’s not much I don’t remember about you, Bailey Bennett. I’ve had my eye on you since I saw those cute little hearts on your underwear.”

“Liam!” she laughed, attempting to smack my chest with the hand I was holding. “You weren’t supposed to look! You promised!”


I'm a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, "No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book." I didn't think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn't already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven't been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.
