Release Blitz - MOUNTAIN DADDY by S.J. Tilley

Mountain Daddy by S.J. Tilly is now live!



Kendra
Moving into my dad’s house at age thirty-two because my roommate scammed me out of my rent… not exactly what I’d call winning at life.
So on my drive to Colorado, I decide I need one more night of freedom, and the cute motel on the side of the road is the perfect place to stop. Bonus that it has a bar.
Extra bonus when I spot him sitting at the end of the bar.
The super hot silver fox, with biceps testing the limits of his flannel.
I debate between sitting alone or being bold. But when I catch him watching me, like I’m watching him, bold wins.
He’s charming and sweet, and I can practically feel the chemistry crackling between us.
And when I give him my room key… he uses it.
But we both know this is just for one night. That we’ll never see each other again.
Until a week later.
When he shows up at my house.
Because he’s my dad’s best friend.
Luther
I stare at her.
The woman I worried I’d never see again.
And relief wars with guilt inside my chest. Because she, the girl of my dreams, is my best friend’s daughter.
And I know I’m screwed.
Because I shouldn’t touch her.
Not ever again.
But… I know I’m going to.
Soon.

Release Blitz & Review - OVER THE MOON by Laura Pavlov

Over the Moon by Laura Pavlov is now live!



A Small Town, Hockey, Forbidden, Standalone Romance from USA Today and
Amazon #1 Bestselling Author, Laura Pavlov.

Hockey is my first love. And I’m coming off the best season of my life.
In the process of scoring the winning goal that gave us the Stanley Cup I tore my MCL, and I’ll need to spend the next few months recovering.
Eloise Gable, the team’s new physical therapist, has been sent to Rosewood River to help me heal and get me ready for the new season.
Yet, she doesn’t seem all too happy about the situation.
In fact, she can’t stand me most days.
It doesn’t stop me from staring at her any chance I get.
She’s beautiful and brilliant, but she’s got her guard up the minute I get close.
Eloise is a distraction I wasn’t prepared for.
Did I mention that she’s also my coach’s daughter?
But after a long run together in the summer heat, our built up tension snapped.
We end up stripping down and jumping in the river.
It seemed like the logical thing at the time.
The problem is, Eloise Gable is completely off limits.
But I’m a professional hockey player, and in my world, limits were meant to be pushed.
Hockey may be my first love, but after falling for my coach’s daughter—it’s definitely not my last.

4.5 Stars

This is the third book in the Rosewood River with the Chadwick clan. This is Clark's story. I love that the author brings in the family / found family in this small town setting.

Clark has returned home after helping to win the cup. But this off season is going to look a little bit different. He is going to be busy conditioning and working to strengthen his injured knee. He is determined to be in his best shape when he returns to the city.

Eloise has just starting working with the Loins, but she has had connections for a long time. Her dad is the coach and though she has all her schooling, some say she only got the job because of him. She has been instructed to go to Rosewood River and spend the off season working with the star player to get him ready for the season. Not exactly what she would have planned.

Clark and Eloise fall into a quick grove after a grumpy initial meeting. Keeping workouts fun and issuing challenges. The more time they spend together the more they like each others company. The town folk and Chadwick family easily bring Eloise into their fold. When attraction and feelings start muddy the waters, things get a little bit more difficult. There is a line in the employment contract that says no relationships. 

Grab your copy and see how it all works out.

Release Blitz - DENIM & DIAMONDS by Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland

 


Title: Denim & Diamonds
Authors: Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: July 27, 2025


When the board of directors of my company mandated that I go to a wellness facility in small-town Maine to recharge, that shouldn’t have included:
1.) Using a ladder to sneak out of the bedroom window at night and going to the local bar.
2.) Getting so drunk that the bar owner brought me upstairs to sleep it off in his bed.
3.) Waking up staring at the taxidermy moose head on said bar owner’s wall.
4.) Falling for said bar owner who was the most drop-dead gorgeous man I’ve ever seen.
But Brock Hawkins was so much more than just the hot bar owner. He owned half the town, built log cabins with his bare hands, and was apparently the most eligible man in all of Meadowbrook.
He was also a cinnamon roll despite his seemingly rock-hard exterior.
And the last man I should’ve been falling for—because my time in this small town was limited.
I had to head back to my life in New York City, one that was the complete opposite from the kind Brock lived.
He was denim. I was diamonds.
The problem was, the sexy lumberjack wasn’t the type of man who was easy to walk away from. Hell, I couldn’t even part with his plaid shirt that had become a constant fixture wrapped around my shoulders most days, let alone think about erasing him from my life.
A life with Brock, though, would have to be all or nothing.
Go big or go home.
I just didn’t realize that choosing to go big might also mean getting my heart broken when Brock’s life took a turn neither of us saw coming.

Cover Reveal - THIS MEMORY by Kelly Elliott


Kelly Elliott has revealed the covers for This Memory!


Releasing August 19, 2025


I've been in love with Gavin since high school. He broke my heart back then, something I'm not keen to forget, which makes our current situation challenging. Our best friends are married, and we're constantly thrown together because of that connection. When those same friends ask me for a favor, one that is life-changing for all of us, I don't even question how close it will bring me to Gavin. I simply say yes.

I'm not sure what I did to turn Brystol against me, but whatever it was, I'm ready to make amends. I might even tell her that she was all I could see back in high school. When our best friends ask Brystol to be their surrogate, I have mixed feelings, to say the least. Nothing will keep me from supporting her in every way possible because among those feelings are admiration and love for the kind girl, I used to know...and even more for the woman she's become.

Neither of us were prepared for the trials and tribulations that come with not just pregnancy but the surrogacy process--including the strain it can put on everyone involved. Nor could we predict the powerful emotions or the sheer joy of growing a life. There is no way we could have predicted the heartache that would follow.

READ CHAPTER ONE NOW!

Ugh. My aching head.
I lifted it from the pillow and looked around the room. Where the hell am I? This was definitely not my room at Sierra Wellness Center, and why the heck are my eyes burning so much? I must’ve left my contacts in last night. I blinked a few times, attempting to get rid of the dryness. It helped, but when my vision came into focus, I found myself staring into the eyes of…a giant moose.
“Holy shit!” I jumped from the bed and landed on my ass on the hard floor.
Clunk-clunk. Click.
Clunk-clunk. Click.
My grandfather had loved old westerns, so I knew the unmistakable sound of a shotgun being pumped and cocked. I squeezed my eyes shut and raised my hands into the air. I might’ve also peed my pants a little. “Don’t shoot! Please don’t shoot!”
“What the hell, Red?” a deep, throaty voice growled. “I’m not going to fucking shoot you.”
I peeked one eye open and found a bearded man standing on the other side of the bed wearing a pair of boxer shorts and holding a gun. He looked vaguely familiar.
“Well, then stop pointing that thing at me!”
“Sorry.” He lowered it. “What the hell did you scream like that for?”
I blinked a few times. “Who the hell are you?”
“Jesus Christ,” the guy mumbled. “You don’t remember last night?”
My eyes bulged. Last night? Oh my God. Did I sleep with this lumberjack? I looked down and was relieved to find I still had all my clothes on, boots and all.
The guy shook his head. “You’d remember it, sweetheart. Trust me.”
“What?”
“You just checked to see what you were wearing, so I’m guessing you were questioning whether we had sex. We didn’t. And if we had, you’d remember it.”
“Why is that?”
The corner of his lip twitched. “How’s your noggin?”
The pain I’d felt when I first opened my eyes came roaring back with a vengeance. I reached for my head. “Who are you, and what the heck did I drink last night?”
Lumberjack bent and lifted the mattress, casually tucking the rifle between it and the boxspring.
“Is that where that gets filed?” I asked.
His lip twitched again. “It is. And an extra dry martini, shaken not stirred, with a lemon twist, dash of orange bitters, and two bleu cheese olives.”
I felt my nose wrinkle. “What?”
“You asked what you drank last night. That’s what your prissy order was. Though that’s not actually what you drank.”
“A dry martini is not prissy.”
“In this town it is, especially the way you order it.”
“What did I drink if my order was too prissy for you?”
“Vodka.”
“With?”
“Ice.”

I’m the CEO of Gallagher Hotels, and my life is spent traveling 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.

It turns out, my mystery woman, Billie, is my sister’s best friend, and she’s 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.

And, maybe, the sexy Irishman with intense emerald-colored eyes that take my breath away. His charming accent, how he looks at me, and the way he spoils me with lavish gifts are 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?

She never expected to come face-to-face with Lucas Lyons—the grumpy, gorgeous CEO of the entire Lyons empire and the older brother of her long-forgotten crush.

Once upon a time, Marie had been just the invisible girl in the back of the estate kitchen. Now? She’s confident, capable, and no longer easy to ignore.

Especially not by Lucas.

He sees her now. And it’s a problem.

***
Lucas Lyons—head of the Lyons family empire, perfectionist, older brother to the man who used to make Marie’s teenage heart flutter—sees his beautiful personal chef as a complication. A distraction he doesn’t need. A girl he has no business wanting.

Especially now that his younger brother is suddenly very interested in Marie himself.
