Release Blitz & Review - STERLING STONE by L.B. Dunbar

STERLING STONE

L.B. Dunbar

Release Date: January 29

This small town *could* be big enough for both of them . . .

Quiet. Serious. Protective. All words Stone Sylver would use to describe himself. And yet, something in his classic blue eyes said he was so much more. Buried beneath the years of raising his younger siblings and being a small town sheriff was a man looking for love.

Of course, I didn’t get all that the first night we met. The night we did a one-two step in a hotel hallway and knocked heads. The same night we shared a sweet potato cupcake and a single kiss.

Why didn’t we share more? The moment became a great mystery to me and because I thought he was only a brief interlude in my wanderlust life, I wasn’t prepared to see him again in Sterling Falls.

Visiting the small town where I once lived, I learn the man who I witnessed act like a superhero was more entwined in my past than I’d remembered. And for a woman often afraid of a future, I suddenly craved one…with him. Which made no sense as I’d never stuck in one place before. No one had ever asked me to stay.

Then again, from our first encounter, I knew Stone Sylver was different.

I just knew that Stone's book would be worth every bit of the weight. Strong and stoic Stone who has held his family together all these years. It just might be time for him to find his partner.

Stone is struggling a little bit now that all his siblings have found their love and life partners. This leaving Stone as the odd man out. Maybe it's time he looks for his own piece of happiness. When the one woman who has really caught his eye in the last decade, doesn't push for more, he's feeling a little lost. Until he shows up at Sylver 4th of July baseball game.

Taxi has kept herself at arms reach for her entire life. After loosing both her parents and feeling a bit like she was responsible for her little sisters. Thanks to the love from Aunt Trudy, they all managed to survive. Moving from place to place has been Taxi's thing for so many years she is not sure how to stay in one place. But with Aunt Trudy needing her, she is determined to try for her and Simon. It doesn't help that a certain hot sheriff is in town and getting under her skin.

It is sad when a good series ends, I am not sure I am done with this bunch but I can always re-read.

Grab your copy and enjoy Stone and Taxi's story.

Release Blitz - REAL GOOD MAN by Giulia Lagomarsino

 

Title: Real Good Man

Series: The Last Best Place for Love Book #2

Author: Giulia Lagomarsino

Genre/Tropes: Small Town; Enemies-to-Lovers; Opposites Attract; Dark Secrets; Grumpy/Sunshine; Next-Door Neighbors and Emotionally Unavailable

Release Date: January 26, 2026

In a small town where secrets last five minutes, privacy is a myth, and gossip lasts forever, this might have been the worst possible place to settle.

After my last job fell apart and burned my reputation, I followed Archer to this small town in Nowhere, Montana.

I had no intention of staying longer than the night, but circumstances took a turn for the worse when not only was there not an immediate solution to my job problem, but the only places to stay were the local roach motel or a bed and breakfast with flowery bedspreads and potpourri in every room.

But then I happened to help out a Parker, which apparently meant something in this town.

Not only did I land myself a house rental for as long as I needed, but I ended up with a neighbor who insisted on feeding a stray dog on my property, convinced he was mine.

And as much as I fought it, I found myself sort of liking the damn dog.

Not that I would ever admit that.

But the dog wasn’t the only unexpected addition to my daily life.

It seemed the more I tried to ignore my neighbor—her perky personality, the weird tea concoctions, and her ability to make me want her even when she annoyed me—the more I found myself intertwined in her life.

And that might just get her killed.

I’m the last single LeBlanc brother—famous in New Orleans for being a successful CEO…and a total man-whore. Becoming a single dad wasn’t on my to-do list…until my one-night stand drops my newborn daughter on my doorstep.

Suddenly, my world revolves around Charlotte: snuggling, changing diapers, preparing bottles. I’m running on little to no sleep and can barely focus.

So when I space out during Piper’s pitch, she assumes I’m hungover. Given my reputation, I can’t blame her—but it still annoys me. So even though her pitch was great, I kick her out of my office. I don’t need complications. Especially not one as attractive as Piper.

However, gossip travels fast in the French Quarter. When Piper discovers the truth behind my exhaustion and apologizes, I give her a second chance. I invite her to my penthouse to redo the pitch…except I’m far more focused on her cleavage, her smile, and the way she instantly connects with my daughter.

I shouldn’t want Piper. I can’t afford distractions. But the more time I spend with her, the harder it is to remember that she is off limits.

Danielle M. Haas

A wrecked ride ended Lane Tipton’s bull riding career and brought him back to Hillmore, Wyoming—a place he swore he’d never return.

Haunted by his father’s ghost, the mistakes of his youth, and Celine Koffman’s wounded eyes, Lane is forced to confront everything he left behind.

Celine never expected to see Lane again, but coming face-to-face with his broad shoulders and big, brown eyes does more than rebreak her heart.

A son they conceived when she’d fallen for the man fast, hard, and unapologetically—a man who’d already abandoned her once before.

When an intruder attempts to kill her, Lane becomes her only protector. Torn between a past he can’t undo and a future he never planned for, Lane’s determined to make things right. But as secrets unravel, they both face a deadly truth that could cost them everything.

Release Blitz & Review - WILDE COWBOY by Kelly Elliott

Wilde Cowboy by Kelly Elliott is now live!

Ladd

As the son of a third-generation cattle rancher, it's expected that I would follow in the footsteps of my father, grandfather, and great-grandfather and work the family ranch just as they did.

However, that wasn't my dream, and thankfully, my parents stood behind me when I told them I wanted to open a sporting goods store in our hometown of River Falls, Colorado. That's my plan. My endgame, and nothing is going to distract me from that goal.

Then, I met Vivianne Pennington. It soon becomes clear to me that Vivianne is now a part of my dreams, and when I bring her home for Christmas, my entire family and the town of River Falls fall head over heels in love with her.

Vivanne

I've gone and found myself in love with a cowboy from a small town in Colorado. When Ladd's mother and father insist that I come and spend Christmas with them on the family's cattle ranch, I'm both excited and nervous.

It becomes clear to me that Ladd's family has deep roots in the community and a family bond I've never experienced before. Estranged from my own parents, I long to be a part of the Wilde family and start to see myself living on the ranch and being a part of the community.

But I'm keeping a secret from my past. A secret that I'm terrified will destroy the future I envision, and I'm scared to lose the wild cowboy who has stolen my heart.

Release Blitz & Review - CAGE by Tia Louise

Cage by Tia Louise is now live!

Sometimes fate sends a sign, and sometimes it sends a bloodhound with a hot hockey player holding its leash, dragging her off you.

Owen Stone is not your usual hockey player. He’s a six-foot-two single dad with dark hair, ocean eyes, and muscles for days. He’s also a last-minute trade trying to find a home for his seven-year-old daughter, his psychic sister, and his adoring bloodhound. Naturally, my hockey-star cousin tells him to move in with us, and I’m a sucker for a good dog.

Gina Bradford hits me right in my weakness. She’s tall for a girl, with strawberry-blonde hair, bright green eyes, and a sweet smile. She’s also a champion dog groomer, judge, and owner of a pure-bred show poodle, who is also a notorious towel thief.

When my new teammate invites me to be their roommate until I find a home for my crew, I should’ve said no. I’ve survived the worst, and I’ve achieved my dream of playing in the NHL.

My focus is on winning games and taking care of my daughter, not romance.

Until our dogs start acting like fated mates whose sole purpose is to push us together. And a charity calendar forces us to work closely. And a highway accident strands us overnight in a hotel with only one room… and only one bed.

We said it was just once. We’ve both been hurt. But once is never enough.

My daughter loves her, and even my psychic sister predicted the girl of my dreams would be holding a dog.

It takes a little faith and a lot of courage, but what we’ve found is more than a cage. It’s a love that shows up, even when you’re not looking for it.

(Cage is a hockey romance with a broody single dad, an FMC obsessed with dogs/not love, roommates-to-lovers, close proximity, “just once,” chosen family, and loads of spicy fun. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and no third-act breakup.)

4.5 Stars

This is book 2 of the New Bradford Series and it drew me in from the very first chapter. Witty banter, chemistry and relatable characters learning to navigate life while trying to leave the past in the past.

Gina is happy working with her dogs, whether it is trying to get Spanky to best in class or judging in the dog show world. Her family means everything to her but love and a man to share her life with are not high on her to do list. 

Owen has achieved a new place for himself in the NHL. Determined to make a name for himself in hockey, to have enough to give his daughter Maddie everything in life.  Struggling with guilt of the loss of his wife and living the life they planned. 

Could it be that Gina has met her match with Owen? Could Gina be the one to help Owen move past the guilt and enjoy life again? Could it be that the dogs knew everything long before the humans?

MINE TO HOLD

J.H. Croix

Release Date: January 15

A swoony small-town friends-to-lovers romance from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix

filled with slow-burn chemistry, emotional angst, and a broody hero who falls hard.

Best friends don’t kiss… unless they’re ready to break every rule.

I’ve been half in love with Kendall Castille for years. She’s my best friend. To her, we’re just

friends. To me? She’s everything.

I’ve kept my feelings buried, convinced I’m not the guy for her, or anyone. Love comes with

scars, and I have too many to count. I’ve already lost enough. So I build walls, and I keep my

heart locked down.

But when I catch a glimpse of something more in her eyes, when I realize she might feel the

same way, everything starts to unravel. The walls I built to protect my heart begin to crack. The

pull between us grows stronger… and impossible to ignore.

Wanting her isn’t the scariest part. Losing her would be devastating.

Kendall & Jude’s emotional small-town romance is perfect for readers who love slow-burn

tension, broody heroes, fierce heroines, and best friends who fall hard when everything’s on the

line.

One kiss. One choice. One love worth risking everything for.

4.5 Stars

This is book two of the Heartfire Falls Series but we get so see many others from the other series as well a time or two. Be prepared for an emotional healing story as these wonderful characters move from best friends to more. The wit and family closeness that comes with all that is Silver, a 10 year old who is more wise than most, and lots of animal antics.

Jude and Kendall became friends very quickly when she moved to town. Before they knew it they were best friends and when she wasn't busy getting her older brother out of his messes, she was with Jude and his family. All these years later, standing beside each other, the lines are finally getting blurry. Though they both seem to be fighting it hard in an attempt to not loose what they have.

Will they cross the line? Will the transition be an easy one? Can they take the next step that everyone in town is betting will happen? 

Grab you copy and enjoy the story.
