Release Blitz & Review - THE MATCH by Layla Hagen

THE MATCH

Layla Hagen

Release Date: May 30

Available in Kindle Unlimited

The LeBlanc family business is famous in New Orleans and as CEO, I pride myself on protecting our legacy. Unfortunately, we have our fair share of enemies, the main culprits -- the Deveraux brothers. They tried to steal from us and we ran them out of town. I never thought I’d hear their name again, but I was wrong.

Benevolent contributions are important to us, so when I find a ranch on the Bayou that provides therapy with horses, I’m ready to put my money down — then I find out I’m not the only one.

When I meet the ranch’s owners, Grace Deveraux is there which instantly pisses me off.

—She says she’s interested in an investment.

—I say, she’s only interested in boosting her socialite profile and clearing up her family name. I mean, she came here dressed in a tight skirt and high heels.

But I’m wrong again and soon learn how badly I misjudged her. After a bitter divorce, Grace had firsthand knowledge working with animals and how healing they can be.

When a storm traps us both at the ranch, we share a small cabin. I’m a gentleman and sleep on the couch. But my very best intentions go up in smoke, as neither of us can stay away from each other.

The next day, we have to face reality: we're still rivals; we both want the ranch…

The twist? I want Grace too.

Release Blitz - PLAY DIRTY by Kat Mizera

PLAY DIRTY

Kat Mizera

Release Date: May 29

Falling for her is a risk I shouldn’t be willing to take… but I didn’t get to the top of my game my backing down.

Ten years, three kids, and what I thought was unshakable marriage—until she slept with one of my teammates. The divorce left me reeling.

Trust isn’t something I give freely anymore.

Now, all that matters is fighting for custody of my kids, while my ex tries to take them and move across the country.

The last thing I need is someone like Stevie: A stunning model with a troubled past, no interest in kids, and baggage even heavier than mine.

One dance at a wedding changed everything. I can’t get this woman out of my head.

I’m not looking for more complications, but walking away from her isn’t an option either.

Not when I can’t tell where I stop and she starts…or if playing dirty is my only shot at making her mine.

CW Warning: This book contains flashbacks to domestic violence and pregnancy loss. These events take place before the hero and heroine meet. As always in my books, there is an HEA for the couple.

USA Today bestselling author Laura Pavlov delivers a spicy enemies-to-lovers romance about a billionaire developer and a small-town entrepreneur battling their desires in the Land of the Midnight Sun.

Myles St. James is tearing my world apart.

Like I knew anything about those.

But I needed to blow off steam.

My ex had just gotten engaged.

My dry spell was nearing six months.

And my booming wedding planning business—the one I started with my bestie—was about to lose its favorite venue to some bulldozer-happy developer from New York.

The Seaside Inn is such a special place.

My second home.

And ever since that famous singer got married there, people are flocking to Blushing, Alaska, for their own weddings too.

Guess whose fling turns out to be the hotshot real estate guy?

But he isn’t what I expected.

And sleeping with the enemy doesn’t feel nearly as wrong as it should.

Because Myles St. James is rocking my world.

Too bad giving in to him could mean giving up my dreams.

Release Blitz & Review - THIS FEELING by Kelly Elliott

This Feeling by Kelly Elliott is now live!

Is there anything worse than getting dumped by your boyfriend in a very public, very humiliating way? How about agreeing to fake-date the jerk to help get his matchmaking mother off his back and make his new love interest jealous?

My friends and family don't think so, but I'm getting Giants season tickets out of the deal. I can do anything for a short couple of months, right? However, when my ex's sexier older brother, Delcan, moves back home, I realize I'm not that confident after all.

For five years, I've avoided Moose Village, New York, as much as possible for one reason: the girl I've crushed on since high school was already spoken for--by my brother. Now discharged from the military, I'm coming home, tentatively heartened by the fact that they're no longer a couple. Except...it seems they are. But something's different this time. Harper doesn't seem as smitten as she was the first time around.

Meanwhile, the chemistry sizzling between us is what I've dreamed of for years. Even if I'm able to get to the bottom of the weird behavior between my brother and Harper, I've gone from one dangerous career to another. I've already got my anxious mother badgering me to quit. Will my career choice be too much for Harper, too?

I can only hope this feeling between the two of us is enough.

4 Stars

Another adventure in Moose Village and it was like coming home. I love how Ms Elliott gives us these small towns and carries her characters throughout the series. A wonderful story full of humor, tears, and a love that blossoms just like Harpers flowers.

Declan is finally coming home and it a little excited at the fact he knows his brother and Harper are no longer dating. He has always liked Harper but the age difference was too much before he left for the Military. He is excited to be back home and starting this next chapter of his life.

Harper is happy in life, running the flower shop that was once her mothers. Living a simple life with her family and friends close by. She longs for a loving romantic connection but isn't seeing any prospects, until she finds out Declan his home.

Could this be their chance at happily every after? Grab your copy and enjoy. You won't be disappointed.

Release Blitz - BEAUTY & THE BOARDROOM by Elise Faber

BEAUTY & THE BOARDROOM

Elise Faber

Release Date: May 26

I’m not looking for forever.

My gorgeous, billionaire neighbor has decided otherwise.

I’ve been burned by enough bad ex-boyfriends to know that love isn’t in the cards for me. I work hard, keep my head down, and avoid all romantic attachments like the plague.

The only trouble? The infuriating man who lives just down the hall doesn’t seem to understand that.

Jace Henderson is beautiful, rich, and his veneer of perpetual, carefree bachelor is hiding a soft heart.

A possessive heart.

Because he’s decided he wants me.

Not just for one night.

But forever.

And the worst part is…the more time I spend with him, the more I think I want forever too.

Releasing: July 17, 2025

From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes Where We Bloom, an Age Gap, Billionaire, Best Friend’s Brother romance set in Bitterroot Valley!

Connor

After an explosive night together, I thought I’d never see the gorgeous bookstore owner again. We didn’t exchange names and numbers and when I left her asleep the next morning, I didn’t intend to pursue her. I don’t have time for relationships nor entanglements.

I’m the CEO of Gallagher Hotels, and my life is spent around the world, focusing on my business, not a small town in Montana. Even if my thoughts keep returning to the most incredible woman I’ve ever met.

But, it turns out, my mystery woman, Billie, is my sister’s best friend, and is suddenly everywhere I turn. She’s become my obsession and all I think about. She’s become the only thing that means more to me than running my empire. And I’m determined to have her.

Billie

Owning a bookstore in my hometown of Bitterroot Valley has been my lifelong dream since I was a little girl. The only thing that brings me more joy is my love of thrift stores and coffee.

And, maybe, the sexy Irishman with intense emerald colored eyes that take my breath away. His charming accent, the way he looks at me, and spoils me with lavish gifts is just the icing on the cake. I’ve tried to stay away from him, but my resolve is slipping. Nothing is better than being in Connor’s arms and feeling like I’m the most important woman in his world. But being with a high profile billionaire comes with a price. Can we withstand the storm headed our way or are we destined to fall apart like delicate blooms in the wind?

A child.

Nicole Winter is a war correspondent with a reputation for chasing the truth. Smart. Relentless. And already three steps ahead. When their paths collide, she’s holding the one document Paul needs—and carrying secrets of her own.

Release Blitz & Review - HIGH VELOCITY by Freya Barker

 

Title: High Velocity (High Mountain Trackers HMT 2G, #4) 
Author: Freya Barker 
Genre: Romantic Suspense 

Release Date: May 12, 2025
Cover Designer: Freya Barker 
Images: Jean Woodfin - JW Photography 
Model: Brandon Thyfault 
Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC. 

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.

AMAZON | APPLE BOOKS | NOOK | KOBO

They say it becomes second nature at some point, but the fact is about fifteen percent of the body I was born with is missing, which isn’t that easy to adjust to. Every time I catch a glimpse of myself coming out of the shower, I’m still startled at my own reflection. This mental image I have of my former intact body persists, and I’m shocked each time to find part of it gone. Even in my dreams, I still have my right leg.

5 Stars

I have followed the High Mountain Trackers from the original series into the 2G. With each book I feel like I am coming home for a visit with old friends, while make a new one or two. This making the end of a series so much harder as you feel like you are saying goodbye. It was an emotional read for me and I might have messaged the author to let her know more than once I couldn't see the words on the page due to tears.

Jackson has carried so much over the years. From trying to be the man of the house early after the loss if his father, protecting his mother as she found her second love, fighting for our country and being a master at his craft to coming home and learning to live his new life, with value and strength. He just needed to find the one woman who brought him the final peace.

Stephanie has losses no little girl should encounter. The daughter of a accomplished FBI agent, she followed in his footsteps hoping for some love and recognition. She didn't get it but she was an excellent agent who put work before life. When she finds herself on a pause from work, she doesn't know what that might mean for her now. Her soul searching leads her back to Libby and right into the cross hairs of Jackson's scope.

Jackson and Stephanie are the balm to each others soul. Talking comes easy once the guards begin to fall. Understanding always comes easy. It's beautiful to watch the relationship form.

The twists and turns of the suspenseful story line will keep you turning pages, trying to help solve the mystery right along with the characters. And the final words bringing smiles as I read. A wondrous conclusion.

Though sad for a series to end, I am also excited to see what new world we will get next? What new characters will will come to love next?
