4.5 Stars

What a grand finale!!! Yes, I am sure this book could be read as a standalone but I hope you will start at the beginning and get the full adventure of taking down the Deep 8 organization. The author as once again given us a novel full of adventure, lies and deception, fighting for lives, and an unexpected love that grows all while finding the final pieces of the puzzle.

Roger and Harlow steal the show as they find themselves working on the same team, trying to find his father/ her boss. With each lie uncovered, they find out a little bit more about one another. With each piece of the puzzle things get a little fuzzier and the race to the end more important. 

They never expected the final destination and the man behind organization. Will they be able to stop Deep 8 and keep everyone alive at the same time?

Grab your copy and settle in for some edge of the seat reading.

Cover Reveal - MERRY LITTLE MIX-UP by Lacey Black

 



Title: Merry Little Mix-Up
Series: Snowflake Falls #1
Author: Lacey Black
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Small Town/Holiday Romance
Second Chance/Neighbors to Lovers
Cover Design: Y'All. That Graphic.
Release Date: December 10, 2024


Eve

Christmas in Snowflake Falls is the most wonderful time of the year. The lights, sounds, and smells are pure magic. Living here is like being wrapped up in a warm holiday hug. There’s nothing better.

My cozy little world gets shaken like a snow globe when the house next door sells. Worse yet, the new neighbor’s tomcat sneaks over and makes himself at home on my Christmas quilt with my sweet feline. Furious, I storm next door to give the owner a piece of my mind, only to find John Mitchell—my first love—standing there.

It would be so easy to fall back into a rhythm with him, one where only he and I exist. As the holidays pull us closer, I have to wonder, are we just wrapped up in the season…or could this time be different?

John

Returning to Snowflake Falls is exactly what I needed in my life—especially right before Christmas. I’d forgotten how much I missed the holidays in my hometown.

What I didn’t expect was my new next-door neighbor to be the one who got away. The moment she stomps over to my house, bangs on my door, and demands cat-support in the likelihood of a feline pregnancy, I know I’m done for. Eve is every bit as feisty and beautiful as I remember.

Being around her rekindles feelings I thought had faded, and the spark between us makes me think we could pick up right where we left off. First, I have to convince her this isn’t about holiday nostalgia. It’s about forever.

Release Blitz & Review - HIGH INTENSITY by Freya Barker

 

Title: High Intensity (High Mountain Trackers HMT 2G, #2) 

Author: Freya Barker 

Genre: Romantic Suspense 

Release Date: November 4, 2024 

Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC. 

Dog trainer and handler, Jillian Lederman, is moving with her pack to Libby, Montana, a place where she has made friends and hopes to find a fresh start. It’s time. For years, she’s just been keeping her wounds fresh by staying in Missoula—where there were regular reminders of all she’s lost—while the rest of the world has continued to move forward. 

Perhaps the new house, the beautiful mountains, and a certain pair of clear, blue eyes hold the promise of new beginnings. 

Since changing careers years ago, former FBI agent Lucas Wolff has found a much better work-life balance as a member of High Mountain Trackers. Still able to serve his community, he has also been carving out a comfortable existence for himself and is not looking to make any changes to it anytime soon. Not even for a particular bold and ballsy redhead he’s been trying to avoid.

That turns out to be an impossible feat when a plane crash during a blizzard sets both of them on the trail of a young girl, all alone in the mountains. But it soon becomes evident they are not the only ones looking, and staying safe means sticking close together.

“Oh, Jillian, I’d like you to meet my son, Lucas.” I meet those pretty green eyes, now sparkling with amusement. Of course a dog named Peanut would belong to this woman. She named her cadaver dog, Emo, after all. Hell, I knew she recently moved to the area—Sloane mentioned it more than once—but I wasn’t expecting to run into her at my mother’s assisted-living home. That’s a little too close for comfort. “So you do have a first name; Lucas, huh?” “You already know each other?” Mom looks back and forth between us. “We do. How are you doing, Jillian?” She adjusts the small furball she’s holding in her arms. “Good, thanks.” I turn to my mother to explain, “Jillian and I met working on a search last summer.” Despite my immediate attempt to identify our connection as a professional one only, I see Mom’s mind already at work behind the gleam in her eyes. Great.


5 Stars

Ms Barker has outdone herself in this book. We get the same suspenseful story as we are taken to the mountains to look for any survivors of a horrific plane crash. But we get a strong mix of her soft side as we learn of Jillian's past and her healing after a tragedy, that draws her to the crash victim. Be ready to have your heart hurt while the story unfolds but don't stop looking over your shoulder.

Jillian and Wolff have met before and he felt a strong pull to her then but wasn't looking for any sort of relationship. But as the time goes on and he knows she is now there to stay in his town, he can't seem to fight the draw to her. She is a remarkable woman, loving her animals and sharing them with others in comfort and need.

Suddenly Jillian finds herself in a place she never expected to be again. Protector for a little girl. When the need arises, she takes charge like a master and Wolff is right by her side holding them both up.

This series just keeps getting better and I can't wait for what comes next.

As a college English professor, Elizabeth looks forward to the start of each new semester teaching her creative writing seminar.

Someone knows what Elizabeth did twenty years ago and her secret is about to be exposed, but who is the mystery student submitting the chapters?

Cover Reveal - MERRY WITH ME by Kaylee Ryan



Kaylee Ryan has revealed the cover for Merry with Me!


Releasing November 26, 2024


Blakely

When my boss tells me I’m taking over the planning of the annual Christmas gala, I can barely
contain my excitement. Not only is it a huge opportunity, but I also love all things Christmas.
I’m on cloud nine until I realize I have to work closely with the grumpy doctor, who is my
opposite in every way. He loathes the holidays. At least that’s what he says. His eyes tell me a
different story.

That’s why I make it my mission to make him fall in love with Christmas. That’s our family motto after all. I’ll make him love the holidays harder than ever before. How hard can it be?


Oliver

My contract states I have to serve on a committee. When I fail to submit which committee I’d
like to work on, I’m assigned the Christmas gala. Me… the guy who detests the holiday.
In years past, I let the marketing manager handle it all. I was there if she needed me. She never did. I expected more of the same this year, but it turns out, I get more than I bargained for. I didn’t anticipate her. Miss Ray of Sunshine, assistant manager.

That’s how I find myself attending holiday events and attaching myself to her any way I can.
She’s trying to make me fall in love with Christmas. Instead, I’m falling in love with her.
