Title: Model Behavior

Author: Tricia Lynne

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: February 15th

Hayes Walker is screwed.

His body is giving out, his family is bleeding him dry, and he never prepared for life after football. When the Dallas Bulldogs offer him a coaching position instead of a returning roster spot, only two things keep him going—staying fit in case another football team picks him up, and spending time with a gray-faced Boxer at the Unlovabulls Dog Rescue.

Olive Russo is a woman who can walk through a kennel in a white pantsuit without getting a spot on her. The always organized PR pro will need her cool control when she’s forced to plan a fundraising gala for the Unlovabulls with the college boyfriend who turned her inside out. A decade ago, Hayes Walker broke her heart and sent Olive into a spiral of bad decisions that she’d rather her clients not know about. Now she is determined to keep the completely lickable Hayes off her to-do list—even if their chemistry is stronger than ever.

Dumping Olive was the worst decision Hayes ever made. When the amazing girl walks back into his life a full-fledged woman, he makes a play for her heart. But when Olive’s secrets are exposed and the NFL knocks on Hayes’s door, they’ll both need to leave their past where it belongs if they’re going to make it work the second time around.

Release Blitz & Review - HAULING ASHE by L.B. Dunbar

Life might be a highway, but the last thing this grumpy silver fox expected was a road trip across the country with a ray of sunshine.

Release date: January 27, 2022

Tucker Ashford has forgotten who he was. The former rock star – Tucker Ashe – turned social media sensation knows exactly where life took a U-turn. Problem is, he’s convinced it’s too late to circle back. When he needs a ride from Chicago to California for his daughter’s wedding, an eight-state journey with a quirky woman is more than he bargained for, but quite possibly the chance he needs to rewind time.

Mae Fox is ready to discover who she is. After two decades of marriage (gone wrong), motherhood (still going), and a not-so-small business (going quite well), she’s looking for the adventure of a lifetime – alone. However, her well-planned escape of come-what-may down the Mother Road is slightly detoured when she’s asked to haul a grumpy silver fox across the country.

The highway is a melody of cheesy sight-seeing stops, nostalgic locations, and a playlist that rocks as two lonely hearts take a road trip down the path of second chances and the possibility of love over forty.

Hint: Can be read as a standalone, but if you’ve read After Care, Midlife Crisis, and Second Chance, this is the elusive original band member who left them behind.

What a wonderful journey of finding yourself all over again. Realizing that you are worthy of the things you desire. That there is someone out there that will want to lift you up to help you achieve your goals.

Mae is ready for the road trip of her life. Some quiet reflection time to plan her next moves now that she is rid of her cheating ex-husband. Her children are grown and taking the next steps in her life. Just one tiny wrinkle, her sister offered her services to take her boss with her to LA.

The things he stepped away from, the dreams he left behind are some of Tucker's biggest regrets. His children are one of the best things that he has. But maybe it is time to start living his life for him again. This trip across the country to get to his daughters wedding, has some memories rushing to the forefront. Making him wonder if he can have any of that again.

A wonderful book full of emotions, deep soul searching, finding new friends and a love you that was never expected. I love Ms. Dunbar's mature characters that are relatable and being pulled into a book so I feel like I am part of the adventure. A recommended read for sure.

Release Blitz - GREED by Eva Charles

Greed by Eva Charles is now live!

Nothing is sweeter than forbidden fruit

Some girls grow up in castles with fortresses to protect them from monsters.
Other girls grow up in castles with fortresses to protect the monsters.
I am both these girls.

Antonio Huntsman comes to call soon after my father dies.
Unannounced, unapologetic, and unmistakably in charge.
With a dangerous gaze and bespoke suit, he looks every bit the man who haunts my dreams.

He wants my family's priceless vineyards. I'm sure of it.
They'll be the crowning jewel of his empire.
But I'm wrong.
He wants me.

She's sunshine. He's grumpy.
She's beauty. And him? He's the Beast.

Blind Pass by Teagan Hunter is now live!

What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay there.

I would know. I'm coming home with a brand-new ring on my finger.

My wife? Ryan Bell.
We're polar opposites.
She's sunshine and happiness.
I'm grumpy and scarred--literally.

We could get it annulled and no one would be the wiser.
Only problem? We posted about it online, and it's already making headlines.

I can't afford to get that kind of attention and tank my career, and Ryan needs my help too.

We make a plan: stay married for one year, play our roles, and divorce amicably at the end. No harm, no foul.

Besides, there's no way the beauty is going to fall for the beast…

Cover Reveal - NO MATCH FOR HER by Stacy Travis

Is it only princesses that get a Happy Ever After? Or is there hope for a hot mess like me?

No Match for Her, an all new billionaire romance from bestselling author Stacy Travis is coming February 15th and we have the first look at the gorgeous cover!

I need a date to my brother’s wedding in six weeks, and Charlie Walgrove owns a tux. Billionaires are like that.

He’s also my sister’s boss, and I agree to let her set me up with the awkward genius, who apparently has even less luck in the dating game than a struggling artist, aka me.

We’re total opposites, but the date goes okay. We agree to be friends, the kind who won’t become lovers.

Famous last words.

On a series of “friend dates” involving bar snacks, acrylic paint and hedgehogs, I discover that Charlie is nothing like what I expected. Under his hoodie and glasses, he’s handsome and down-to-earth, stuck in a job he hates and afraid to disappoint people by walking away. His heart is as gorgeous as his hidden face.

I’ve always felt like the flaky sister in my family, but Charlie sees me as the artist I want to be. As our friendship deepens, so do my feelings for him. Maybe I’m even falling in love.

But gambling with my heart feels dangerous when all my relationships end in failure–especially if he’s only looking for a friend.

Is it only princesses that get a Happy Ever After? Or is there hope for a hot mess like me?

But all she wanted was to be friends-with-benefits.
My best friend told me not to f*ck the new girl.
He didn't say anything about marrying her.
Or what might happen if we broke our vows.

Penelope
I was the rebellious trust fund baby.
The one who threw the finger to her parents.
I designed a life I loved.
No rules, no expectations.
Something easy.
Dougie didn't want easy, he wanted commitment.
Babies, marriage, the postcard perfect house in the 'burbs.
The life. It was all ours.
Until it wasn't.
All we had now were lies and betrayal.
Lies that might just cost us everything.

Release Blitz & Review - MY FAMOUS FRENEMY by Piper Rayne

Release Date: January 25

Hollywood heartthrob, Gavin Price invaded our small town, Sunrise Bay, like he owned it.

Gavin was my biggest celebrity crush when I was young. He bears the charisma of an easygoing boy-next-door mixed with a rule-breaker personality both in person and on screen.

For a moment, I thought maybe my fairy godmother sent him to me.

Until he decided to run against my mother for mayor.

Everyone in our town knows my mom’s happiness comes before my own, so I take it as my personal mission to show him who really runs this town.

I just didn’t realize that being my mom’s right-hand woman would put me in such close proximity to him. Very quickly, I question whether he wants to win the mayoral race or me.

4 Stars

I absolutely love the family dynamics with this series and the way the authors pull it all in without making it too overpowering. The wit and banter is an added welcome to the wonderful love that these characters find when least expected. Reminds me of my small town home.

Posey Greene has been drawn to Gavin Price since the first time she met him in Sunrise Bay, sure she might have had his posters on her wall as a teen but that was different. As much as their is a pull between these two there has always been something standing in the way, a small incident to something much bigger, How can she be seen schmoozing with the competitions. Her mom is her number one priority. Gavin has learned during his sobriety that he needs to put himself first and that is what he is doing, just needs to get Posey to see things his way. He is a determined fella.

The drama is pretty low in this book, well except for what Posey keeps putting up as road blocks. Great character chemistry, some sweet love and affection, and a big eye opener to remind us that life is too short and we need to spend it with the people that mean the most to us.

Always up for some Green Family Fun.

Release Blitz - MY BEAUTIFUL CHAOS by Swati M.H.

Title: My Beautiful Chaos

Author: Swati M.H.

Genre: Fake Relationship

Second Chance Romance

Release Date: January 20, 2022

Love wanes.

That’s what my missing groom told me over the phone . . . on our wedding day, no less.

I wasn’t about to go down that road again—love, marriage, forever. I had enough on my plate serving as deputy general counsel of our family business and keeping my matchmaking parents off my back.

Then Wayland Ramirez comes roaring back into my life.

The boy who asked me to be his girlfriend in middle school. The man I shared a sizzling night of passion with five years ago. The man who made me trust him . . . then disappeared.

This time, I know better than to put my heart in anyone’s hands.

But when Dad throws down an ultimatum—bring a date to the office Christmas party or meet a stranger of his choosing—I spontaneously ask Wayland to play the part of my doting fake-boyfriend for a night.

He just wasn’t supposed to give an Oscar-winning performance.

Once more, his whispered words, his searing kisses, his body against mine almost have me believing that this could last. Almost.

I say love is a sham, a reservoir that depletes with time.

He says he wants it all—my todays and tomorrows.

But can I trust him with my tomorrows? Can I trust him to pick me up if I fall?

Because God knows, I am falling for this man.
