4 Stars

This is the 4th book in the Reynolds Restoration Series but Chase has been with us from the very beginning. He has certainly come a long way since we first saw him, working hard to become a man worthy of his new found family and friends. But he has been noticing that something is missing as all his friends are finding their partners and moving forward. When his crush, Officer Cinnamon (Hannah) shows up at his door looking to take the spot of his roommate, things just might be turning around for him as well.

Hannah moved to the small town from Toronto, looking for a slower life. As she ventures back to work as a police officer since recovering from a call gone very badly. She is a proud to call herself a police officer as she has followed in her fathers footsteps, but that one night continues to haunt her.

Watching these two meld into a solid unit was sweet and open. That fact that Hannah was willing to see the man Chase has become and not the boy he was in his past. Chase's understanding and willingness to be there for Hannah as she works through her work decisions. They had come interferance and issues along the way that keep the story interesting and the pages turning.

Another great book in the series and Ms Moreland has given us another couple to love.

*** Advanced copy provided in exchange for an honest review. ***

New York Times/USA Today bestselling author Melanie Moreland, lives a happy and content life in a quiet area of Ontario with her beloved husband of thirty-plus years and their rescue cat, Amber. Nothing means more to her than her friends and family, and she cherishes every moment spent with them.

While seriously addicted to coffee, and highly challenged with all things computer-related and technical, she relishes baking, cooking, and trying new recipes for people to sample. She loves to throw dinner parties, and also enjoys traveling, here and abroad, but finds coming home is always the best part of any trip.

Melanie loves stories, especially paired with a good wine, and enjoys skydiving (free falling over a fleck of dust) extreme snowboarding (falling down stairs) and piloting her own helicopter (tripping over her own feet.) She's learned happily ever afters, even bumpy ones, are all in how you tell the story.

Cover Reveal - THE PROPOSAL by Adriana Locke

Adriana Locke has revealed the gorgeous cover for The Proposal!

Releasing: July 27, 2023

Model Cover Design: Kari March Designs

Photographer: ©Regina Wamba

Special Edition Cover Design: Staci Hart

Breaking News: Rugby’s bad boy marries his best friend’s little sister

If Renn Brewer would’ve asked me to marry him, I would’ve said no.

Why?

One, his reputation precedes him. His name is in the headlines at least once a month. Two, he’s not just my brother’s best friend. They’re teammates. And three, I’m in my self-care era.

Unfortunately, a version of me equates self-care with bad choices.

The cocktail in my hand—similar to the one that got me into this situation—is the prettiest shade of pink. It’s almost the same color as the giant rock on my left hand. And instead of discussing an annulment, I’m considering a 90-day marriage of convenience to the man I accidentally married in Las Vegas.

Renn didn’t propose marriage. But he does deliver a proposal I might be unable to turn down.

Release Blitz - SHATTERED VOWS by Christina Sol

Shattered Vows by Christina Sol is now live!

She's a survivor fighting to build a new life. He's a small-town sheriff who has vowed to protect her. As their passion ignites, a threat from her past is intent on destroying it all...

Alexandra Garcia arrives on Hudson Island, Washington bruised and battered...but thankful. She knows she's lucky to be alive. With her abusive soon-to-be ex-husband in prison, Alex is determined to put her past behind her for the sake of her unborn child. The last thing she's looking for is any sort of romantic relationship—and most definitely not a knight in shining armor. But there's something about her handsome neighbor that gets her pulse racing. In the best way.

Sheriff Quinn O'Conner has sworn off damsels in distress—especially those with lots of baggage. Still, when Alex moves in next door, he feels duty bound to look after her. He tells himself it's because of his job, but he knows that's a lie. Against his better judgment, he finds himself fascinated by Alex's compelling mix of strength and vulnerability.

As cryptic threats push them closer together, the heat simmering between them rises. But will their budding relationship survive? And more importantly, will Alex?

Release Blitz & Review - THE AGENT by Kimberly Kincaid

The Agent by Kimberly Kincaid is now live!

His enemy's little sister is the only person with the power to undo him.

Nothing rattles stone-cold FBI Agent Kai Roman. Not chasing down ruthless criminals. Not losing his wife years ago. Not even inadvertently being caught in the middle of a bank robbery.
Except Camila Garza is right beside him when danger strikes, and suddenly he's the only person who can protect the off-limits beauty. No matter how much her older brother hates him.
And no matter how much he secretly wants her.

Camila knows she should hate Roman. He's made it clear he doesn't like her—or possibly anyone—one bit. But when they have to go on the run to save their lives, she begins to see past his icy exterior to the man who would do anything to keep her safe.
Including risk it all.
****

The Agent is the sixth and last standalone in the Intelligence Unit series, set in the shared world of Remington. Full of edge-of-your-seat action and scorching romance, this adversary's little sister, grumpy hero, lovers on the run from danger romance will have you swooning and sweating. No cheating, no cliffhangers, all hard-fought HEA.

Despite his efforts though, the madman is circling, leaving Sophie no time to consider a future with Kyle. And unless they find a way to slay the ghosts of their pasts, there may be no future for her at all.

Eva Dempsey is out of options.

She's made it to Oak Creek, Wyoming with two traumatized dogs, twenty dollars, and a fear of damned near everything.

Things that didn't make it with her? Her self-esteem, confidence, or any way of supporting herself.

Theo Lindstrom knows how to survive. He proved it as a child when he had to keep himself and sister alive in the wilderness. Now he runs Linear Tactical, the company his adoptive father helped create, and teaches survival skills to others.

So he recognizes the desperation in the eyes of the petite beauty who's pulled into town, and knows there's more to her story than she's letting on.

He normally keeps to himself—for very good reasons—but he can't this time. Something about Eva draws him in a way he can't resist, even knowing she's got secrets. The deadly kind.

When the danger she's running from shows up, Theo's not going to let her fight it alone.

This is his town.
This is his woman.

And he'll protect both to his last breath.
