Release Blitz - LOVE, LIES, AND WHISKEY by Melissa Foster

Love, Lies, and Whiskey by Melissa Foster is now live!

Get ready to fall hard for the mysterious Seeley “Doc” Whiskey and the one woman he never thought would walk back into his life, in this sexy and emotional second-chance standalone romance. The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Redemption Ranch is a small-town, big-family series of standalone romance novels featuring fiercely loyal, insanely sexy bikers who give horses—and people—a second chance. No cliffhangers, no cheating, and a happily ever after that will leave you breathless.

First loves that were ripped apart, and the epic love that saves them.

At nineteen, Seeley “Doc” Whiskey fell hard for the governor’s daughter, and then she was torn away. He risked his life and his family’s legacy to get her back, only to find out that everything he believed about her was a lie. His heart has been locked down ever since.

Betrayed by everyone she loves, Juliette Chambers has been through hell and back. Now a single mother and veterinarian, Juliette moves back to Colorado to start over. The last person she expects to run into is the man who completely destroyed her.

A chance encounter turns into a moment of fury, sending them into an emotional maelstrom. Tears and accusations fly and passion ignites, but in their wake they discover a trail of secrets and lies and a life-changing blow that takes them to their knees.

Dash Richmond

I’m Dash Richmond, seasoned attorney, mostly decent person, and currently living my best life with my forever husband, Beau Brooks. He’s my anchor. The person who keeps my feet firmly planted to the ground and the one who has me on the edge of my seat, waiting for one of his silly soft grins or sweet, caressing kisses. Nothing has changed for me since the day I met him. I’m still head over heels in love with my guy.

That’s the real me. But to the rest of the world, I’m thought of as a legal powerhouse and courtroom bulldog. That’s why people hire me and why it’s in your best interest to not get on my bad side.

Yet, life is complicated. In a sudden twist of fate, the rug gets pulled out from underneath me, leaving me reeling.

Beau Brooks

Once I learned to get out of my own way, my life transformed in ways I never thought possible. Fast forward a few years, and my mister is not only the love and joy of my life, but every dream we dared to make has come true.

Other dreams have a funny way of manifesting too. I’m now co-owner in a thrilling charter fishing service, alongside my lifelong buddy and new Sea Springs neighbor, Scott Lee.

Then out of nowhere, life hurls a fastball that sends me sprawling. My meticulously built inner defensives crumble, thrusting me into a place I never wanted to be. Can I muster the strength to be the leader of my family or will the fear of losing my life’s love bring me to my knees, risking everything I hold dear.

When our cherished lives suddenly go sideways, are either of us really the men we believed ourselves to be? Can we navigated the maze of these powerful truths, or will the force of change shatter what we hold dear?

“He swore he wouldn’t fall. She never expected to want him to.”

OLIVIA

Boxing Day was supposed to be spent with my children. Instead, I was alone in a hotel bar, drowning in heartbreak while my ex played happy families with his new girlfriend. And then he walked in.

Dr. Ryan Simmonds—arrogant, guarded, and too damn gorgeous for his own good.

He was supposed to be a one-night escape, nothing more.

✔ Not my sister’s heart surgeon.

✔ Not the man making my children laugh.

✔ And definitely not someone I could fall for when my world is already crumbling.

RYAN

I don’t get involved. Not after my fiancée left me for my brother.

But Olivia Brown is a complication I never saw coming.

✔ She’s fierce, exhausted, and willing to fight the world for her sister.

✔ She’s the one woman I shouldn’t want.

✔ And she’s breaking down every wall I’ve built.

Her sister’s failing heart means I’m her only hope. But Olivia deserves more than a man who can’t afford to love her.

Now I have to make an impossible choice:

Be the surgeon who saves her sister… or the man who won’t break her heart.

🔥 A heart-wrenching, slow-burn romance about love, fate, and impossible choices.

📖 Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Colleen Hoover, and Abby Jimenez.

Ryan

Some might say I’m running away. I prefer to look at it as an extended vacation, from social media, the paparazzi, and my very public life back in Los Angeles.

That’s why I rented a small cabin in the woods in Nowhere, Wisconsin. I needed an escape and time to lick my wounds from a breakup. What I wasn’t expecting was Marcus Wright, the most frustrating man on the face of the planet, to be right next door. Our chemistry is undeniable, and it doesn’t take long to realize a summer fling is just what the doctor ordered.

Our time has a deadline though, and at the end of a month, I’m going back home to Los Angeles. Problem is, despite Marcus’s grumpy demeanor, I’m not sure I want to.

Marcus

My days, and some of my nights, are spent working on vehicles in my shop. Working and living in my hometown of Pine Village is where I’m comfortable, where I belong.

My quiet little world is disrupted the day Ryan Marcotte rolls into town in her high heels and designer clothes. She’s the exact opposite of me, a spoiled rich girl who pushes my buttons like no other. She’s famous, has her own TV show, and is only here for a short time. I’m also wildly attracted to her. I try to fight it, but the pull is too strong. So when she suggests a little no-strings fun, I’m all in.

Unfortunately, our private bubble is popped the moment fans discover her location. All good things must come to an end. I just wasn’t expecting my heart to be so invested.

Release Blitz & Review - MR CHARMING by Piper Rayne

Mr. Charming by Piper Rayne is now live!

Three years ago, I swore to myself we were done.

Since then, Tweetie Sorenson has embraced the professional hockey player bachelor lifestyle—his social media is a highlight reel of clubs, friends, and a never-ending stream of different women.

It’s hard to believe he’s the same man who stole my heart the very night we met. With him, everything felt wild, spontaneous, and absolutely perfect. I thought he was my forever.

Then, he broke my heart. Or maybe we broke each other’s. Either way, it was over.

I’ve moved on—new city, dream job—until my boss throws me back into Tweetie’s world. I’m sent to Chicago to manage the Falcons’ social media, which means working alongside the one man I never truly let go of. FML.

The end of the Nest Series but Tweedie and Tedi are finally getting their second chance. For the die hard Piper Rayne readers, we have been reading bits and pieces of their story over the years in other series and we are so excited they are finally getting a real chance at happiness.

Tweedie's childhood left him many scars and he was determined that he couldn't do love and marriage like everyone else. But somehow Tedi managed to sneak through his defenses. Tedi is determined to live her life without the need to follow a man. But life always seemed to have a different plan for them. When they decided they didn't work the first time, it broke each of them to the point of not moving forward, though they tried. 

When life throws them back in the same space, will they survive the storm? Will they be able to fight the pull and keep things on an even keel? Or have they grown enough to know that fate just might have another plan for them? Could this be their real chance at happiness they both want for each other?

Run, grab your copy and enjoy the emotional story that closes out the Nest Series.

Release Blitz - NORTH by Sawyer Bennett

 

---

New Release North (Pittsburgh Titans, Book #16) Sawyer Bennett

 

New to the Pittsburgh Titans but no stranger to relentless ambition, North Paquette knows exactly how to put in the work to ensure the win. But this time, the stakes are personal because the game isn’t just on the ice. 

Life as a member of the Pittsburgh Titans is pretty freaking fantastic. I live in one of the best cities around, get paid to play the game I love and enjoy all the perks of being a professional hockey player. While many of those perks are because of who I am, one in particular is because of who I know. 

Farren Abrams wasn’t on my radar until she came to town to visit her brother Rafferty. She’s smart, sarcastic, sexy as hell and can talk hockey like a pro. So when a night out with t he team became a drunken hookup with Farren, there were zero complaints from yours truly. We had our fun and then she went back home — no harm, no foul. Now she’s moved to Pittsburgh permanently and while she’s still looking for some fun, I’m starting to look for more.

The more time I spend with Farren the more I like her, but to say she’s relationship averse is an understatement. Something in her past has caused her to head for the hills whenever someone gets too close, but she shuts down whenever I push for details. When she rejects my attempts to take this thing to the next level, I’m forced to seek help from none other than Rafferty, who has no idea I’m banging his little sister. With his assistance, I set out to do the one thing none of those chumps in Farren’s past have taken the time to do — help her face her demons and give her something worth staying for.

Release Blitz & Review - FAKE IT TRUE by J.H Croix

FAKE IT TRUE

J.H Croix

Release Date: April 21

A swoony, small town firefighter romance from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix!

How we met: He spilled coffee on me.

First date: I dragged him into my therapy session. Does that even count?

Spoiler alert: We’re definitely not a couple.

Leo Massie is a smoking-hot firefighter. Literally. He also owes me after dousing me in coffee. But instead of a simple favor, I might have accidentally told my therapist he’s my fiancé. Oops.

Now, Leo—single dad, small-town hero, and the most maddeningly good man I’ve ever met—is playing along. What started as a tiny white lie is spiraling into something I wish were real. The way he looks at me? The way he takes care of everyone around him? The way he makes me feel? None of that feels fake.

I came to Alaska to escape my past. I never expected to find a man willing to stand beside me through it. Maybe we’re just pretending. Or maybe… we can fake it true.

Perfect for readers who love: hotshot firefighters, single dads, slow-burn tension, fake dating with real feelings, small-town charm, emotional romance with a touch of angst, plenty of steam and swoon, and a cinnamon roll hero with a fierce protective streak.

*A full-length, standalone romance.

Release Blitz & Review - CATCH THE KISS by L.B. Dunbar

CATCH THE KISS

L.B. Dunbar

Release Date: April 17

Meeting Bolan Adler, professional baseball catcher and single dad, is a complicated story.

One involving a one-time kiss when I was young and silly. And a two-time tryst as some kind of midlife breakdown moment.

Anyway, in the game of baseball, three strikes mean: you’re out.

I thought my third one might happen when Bolan Adler is the newest client of the sports management agency I work for.

The same business that just promoted me to agent status when I haven’t asked for the position.

Also, the ridiculous company that wrote up a reputation repair report for the newest member of the Chicago Anchors which includes:

Bolan Adler needs a wife.

He’s decided I’m it. Only this isn’t a game of tag.

Hearts are on the line when I meet Bolan’s sweet sixteen-month-old, and my role goes from babysitting the bad boy of baseball to bonus-mom for his precious daughter.

Complicated, like I said.

Add in when my fake husband starts tossing out real emotions about love, marriage, and a baby, and I’m just hoping to stay out of the strike zone. Because the obvious opponent on the field is love.

Will it win or lose at the end of the season?

https://a.co/d/dE2syhG

Available in KU

4.5 Stars

Another book in the Chicago Anchor's series brings us Bolan and Ruthie's second chance story. Add in the little bundle that is Tulane and you will be swooning and hoping that things all work out, with a little added love on the side.

Bolan is looking to change his image as a ball player with this move back from Japan. The stakes are higher for him this time around as he is a father and has someone else to take care of. 

Ruthie is at an impass in her life and feeling like it is time to make some changes. Time to do something for her for a change. And though she loves her In-laws, now that her husband has passed, it's time to step away from the responsible life she has lived.

When Bolan asks her to do the unthinkable, will she take the leap?

Grab your copy and sit back and enjoy the show.
