Abigail

It was time to celebrate.

Our family vacation was the perfect chance to relax.

Until I saw him get on the plane and my plans went out the window.

Tristan's everything I've always wanted but can never have.

One night was all we had together.

Now, I’m staring at the two pink lines wondering if I should even tell him.

Tristan

Six years ago, I was living for myself until I found out I had a two-year-old daughter.

Now, I love my life exactly how it is: me, my daughter and hockey.

Except—I've been in love with Abigail from afar for years.

She was the only one I trusted my daughter with.

One night with her is more than I deserve.

Now that I've had her, I know she was made for us.

A wonderful addition to this series. I love how the author brings in the extended family and they are all so close. A touching single dad, brothers friend/team mate, slow burn romance with an accidental pregnancy. A little girl that will melt your heart and two hearts that want so badly to be connected but are afraid to take the leap.

Abigail is excited to be starting her dream job in Dallas where she has family to help her with the adjustments. She also is looking forward to being able to be closer to Penelope. But will she survive being so close to Tristan and not be with him?

Tristan has completely settled into the single dad routine. With the right help in place he is able to have his hockey career and be there for Penelope. When he realizes that Abigail has moved to Dallas, he starts to hope but then he remembers she is off limits. 

There were times in the book that I was so angry, I wanted to jump in and give Abigail shit for how she was treating Tristan. But it all worked out in the end. A great story that you really need to read first hand.

When her nose isn't buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she's in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It's a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn't listen to her...

Cover Reveal - AN ARMORED HEART by RC Boldt

 

RC Boldt has revealed the gorgeous cover for An Armored Heart!

Releasing: May 23, 2023

Cover Design: Hang Le

Four months. That's how long I'll need to pretend to be Steele Cunningham's doting girlfriend.

I agreed to this insanity only to save my restaurant. He's doing it because he needs someone outside his "social circle" to stick it to his meddling parents and clingy ex.

Ruthless and emotionless in both his personal life and his career, Steele's ego rivals his net worth.

Operating on joy and positivity—and a healthy bit of feistiness—I challenge him at every step.

He's a tin man—heartless and cold. Falling for him would be a colossal mistake, because there's no chance he'll ever love me.

He can't.

After all, he's the man with an armored heart.

Release Blitz & Review - OVER MY BROTHER'S DEAD BODY, CHASE ANDREWS by Piper Rayne

 

Over My Brother's Dead Body, Chase Andrews 

by Piper Rayne is now live!

Chase Andrews.

The Kingsmen's top tight end.
My brother's friend and teammate.
My new neighbor.
The grumpy to my sunshine.

But underneath that grumpy exterior, there's so much more.

Chase likes to pretend nothing affects him, but I've seen glimpses of his other side in the time we've spent together.

And the more we get to know each other, the more I'm falling for him.

Under normal circumstances, this would be great. Except my hyper-protective big brother thinks no man is good enough for me, and my ex-fiancé is trying to win me back.

One charming, seemingly good man already broke my heart. Am I stupid to give a self-confessed relationship-adverse football player a chance to break it a second time?

Release Blitz - THE END OF ME by Claudia Burgoa

And after seven years, I’m almost ready to let him go…

There are two men who claimed to care for me—even love me.

One looks almost like the man I lost.

The other is so different, but the invisible link between us pulls me to him.

My already shattered heart is torn between the past, the present, and a dangerous future with two men.

Release Blitz - THE RULES OF DATING MY BEST FRIEND'S SISTER by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

 

Title: The Rules of Dating My Best Friend's Sister

Authors: Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Release Date: April 2, 2023

From New York Times bestselling authors Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward comes a new standalone romance.

Rule number one for dating your best friend’s sister: Don’t.

Just don’t do it.

Especially when your best friend is dead and the last thing he made you promise him was that you’d keep an eye on his little sister, but not too good of an eye.

As a musician whose longest committed relationship was six weeks, I, Holden Catalano, was the last guy on Earth who should’ve been messing around with Laney Ellison.

The super smart girl whom I affectionately dubbed Lala since childhood was always off limits.

Though that didn’t stop me from thinking about her over the years, especially those times when the two of us would sneak out onto the roof and talk for hours after my buddy fell asleep. It was innocent, but I’d always held a torch for her.

After Ryan passed away, I vowed to always protect Lala. That included protecting her—from me.

Now all grown up and a scientist, Lala needed a place to stay when she accepted a temporary research position in New York. I thought I did the right thing by offering her an apartment in the building I co-owned with my three friends.

Except having her close by reignited all of those old feelings.

And things started to get complicated.

Especially since she was engaged.

And especially since, lately, I’d noticed something more in her eyes. Desire.

Lala didn’t exactly look at me like the platonic brother figure I was trying so desperately to be, even though I wanted her more than I’d ever wanted anything.

Yet, I was being good—on my very best behavior.

But you know what they say…all good things must come to an end, right?

Release Blitz & Review - HELLO BILLIONAIRE by Kelsie Hoss

 

Release Date: March 31

My ex told me no one would ever want to be with a "fat, broke, single mom of three." My billionaire boss thinks otherwise.

After my ex left me high and dry, I need make things work for my kids. Even if it means getting rejected for jobs over and over again.

When my friend gets me an interview with her boss for an interior design job, I think things are finally looking up. That is until I door ding his Tesla and yell at my kids on the phone during the interview. (For the record, running out of peanut butter does NOT count as an “emergency.”)

But for some reason… he offers me the job.

As a boss, Gage Griffen is intense, driven, and demanding. But under his layers of Armani and grumpy exterior, he’s also generous, kind, and treats my kids the way I wish their dad would.

I need to keep my distance, because this job is our fresh start. And messing up this opportunity could ruin everything, including my heart.

Hello Billionaire is a grumpy/sunshine rom com featuring a steamy billionaire, a plus-size single mom, three matchmaking children, and one hell of a happily ever after.

4.5 Stars

This was my first book by this author but it will not be my last. It was a fun book to read with lots of witty banter, smiles sneaking out while I read, relatable characters. A swoon worthy romance between a single mom of three who is trying to build a new life and a workaholic billionaire bachelor.

Farrah is struggling with the starting over but she is proud and determined to find something that will give her family the new start they need. When she finds herself working for Gage and wondering how she managed to get past the interview. Gage is drawn to her in an unexplainable way, he feels the need to give this woman a chance. And when she shows up at work with her kids, he does the unthinkable and sets them up with everything they could need. Gage is determined to show Farrah that she is worth everything and change her mindset that her ex has instilled.

This was not a smooth ride to love and happiness. There were some bumps and bruises along the way but they were all worth it. A new fresh start for Farrah and her kids. A new realization and a step back to familly for Gage. 

A great book for an afternoon read.

 https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/123104022-southpaw

Sutter Mason is sick and tired of ballplayers. And pitchers? The worst!

She’s over their inflated egos. Done with their magnetic charm. And as far as she’s concerned, the broken promise the last ace left her with was her final strike in the game of love.

The problem? Her dad is the coach of the hometown minor league team. And the hot new lefty who just joined the squad? He’s her brother’s new roommate. This time around, instead of falling for the player, she’s going to use him to get what she wants—the perfect case study for her psychology thesis.

No dates. No feelings. Zero extra innings. Simply a business relationship that ends when the season is done or Jensen Hawke is pulled up for prime time.

Arizona Monsoon rookie Jensen Hawke is laser focused—on proving he’s more than just hype, on breaking the league’s strikeout record, and on getting called up to the big leagues.

Jensen doesn’t do relationships. He doesn’t even really do friends. But his stubborn attitude is getting him in trouble on the mound. His control comes and goes. His curveball is a mess. And every time his roommate’s cute sister points out that it’s probably all in his head, he wants to scream.

But when a single conversation with her seems to up his game, Jensen decides maybe he’s got time for one relationship while he chases his dream. Just a little positive mental coaching. Nothing but two people working toward shared goals.

So what if Sutter Mason gets him more than anyone ever has. Believes in him in a way that makes him believe too. Looks at him like he’s actually special. And so what if he’s starting to feel things he swore off for good.

In baseball, sometimes all it takes is one spectacular play to change the game. And Jensen Hawke and Sutter Mason didn’t see each other coming. With love on the line, everything is riding on this next pitch.
* Southpaw is a standalone, new adult, enemies-to-lovers, grumpy-sunshine baseball romance full of angst, steam and swoon.

4 Stars

I have been very patiently waiting for the queen of baseball to give us another baseball story. We have gotten a fabulous NA sports romance that is a slow burn full of banter and character growth. In true Ginger Scott fashion she pulled me in from the first chapter and didn't let me go. I love how she makes me feel like I am in the story watching and participating.

Sutton and Jensen were complex characters in thier own way. Sutton still feeling the pain of her last relationship with her ex that has moved into the limelight so it isn't always easy to hide from. Jensen is trying to pick himself back up after surgery and prove that he has what it takes in the sport to keep moving forward in his career. For both of these characters family's past issues keep throwing up walls and they are built pretty strong.

As we watch the friendship grow between Sutton and Jenson, it is clear to see that giving trust is an issue. Before they know it that friends is slowly morphing into something on a whole new level. Neither of them was looking for a relationship.

Can she help Jensen move forward with his career? Will her mental coaching theory get her what she is looking for with her degree? Will these closed off people be willing to open their hearts and truly give their feelings a chance? Be ready for some twists and surprises as you read their story.

I am seriously hoping that there might be thought of growing this group of side characters into a series around the Monsoon team. A girl can dream, right!

Excerpt Reveal - THE RULES OF DATING MY BEST FRIEND'S SISTER by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

 

Title: The Rules of Dating My Best Friend's Sister

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Release Date: April 2, 2023

Excited about Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward’s

My Best Friend's Sister? 

Check out this SNEAK PEEK!

“What the hell?” He stood on the other side of the door. “Where’s the doorknob?”

I leaned down and spoke through the hole where the knob used to be. “It’s in here with me. The lock jammed, and the knob came off in my hands when I tried to pull it open.”

“Alright. Give me a minute. I need to run next door to get a screwdriver.”

“I have one now! I picked it up after the beeping incident, so I wouldn’t need to bug you again. It’s in the top drawer in the kitchen!”

“Okay, great. Hang on.”

Two minutes later, the door popped open. It wasn’t until I saw Holden’s face that I remembered I was only wearing a tank top and underwear, sans bra.

He gulped and took a long look before turning his head. “Sorry. I didn’t realize you weren’t dressed.”

I wasn’t the only one scantily clad. Holden had on only a pair of boxer briefs, his beautiful tanned skin and carved six pack on full display for my eager eyes, yet again. I couldn’t stop myself from staring. Silence ticked by until Holden turned his head back, probably to see why I’d grown quiet. “You oka—”

My eyes rose to meet his, but not before he’d caught me ogling him.

I shook my head and laughed nervously. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to stare. I just hadn’t expected you to be in your underwear either, I guess. It caught me off guard.”

Holden ran a hand through his hair. “Yeah, I’m sorry if I checked you out, too.”

I should’ve just left the bathroom and covered up with a robe, but something about being near this man made me say and do things that were completely out of character. “Would you mind if I…looked a little more?”

Holden’s brows shot up to his hairline. “You want to check me out?”

My face heated. I shook my head and looked down. “Oh my gosh. I’m so embarrassed. I think the lack of sleep and stress from being locked in here made me a little bonkers. It’s just that maybe we both have some pent-up curiosity about what we look like as adults. I mean, I’ve only stolen glimpses of you without a shirt on since we were teenagers in my backyard pool. And you certainly haven’t seen me in a skimpy bottom and no bra since then. I guess I was thinking if we took a good, long look, once and for all, we might get it out of our systems.”

Holden stared at me. I could see the wheels in his head spinning. Eventually, his eyes dropped to my chest. “You have no bra on…”

I shook my head. “No bra.”

He swallowed. “Let’s do it.”

“Really?”

He nodded. “Fuck yeah. I’m going to hell anyway. Might as well enjoy the ride down. But you have to stay in the bathroom, and I’ll stay on this side of the doorway.”

“Okay.” I bit my bottom lip. “You look first.”

“Why don’t we look at the same time?”

I nodded. “Good idea. How long should we do it for?”

Holden shrugged. “A minute?”

“Do you have your phone?”

“No. I thought someone broke in and you were being attacked. My phone was the last thing on my mind.”

“Mine should be on the coffee table. Do you want to grab it so we can use the timer?”

Holden walked away and came back ten seconds later. “What’s your code?”

“Zero, seven, one, three.”

He started to type and then froze before looking up at the ceiling. “That’s the day you’re getting married, isn’t it?”

I nodded.

Holden cursed as he went back to typing. “I’m so fucking going to hell.”

He called up the clock app and then turned the phone to show me. The countdown was set for one minute. His finger hovered over the green button. “You ready?”

I nodded.

Holden pressed the button, and we began to openly ogle each other.

Cover Reveal - A LITTLE TASTE by Tia Louise

 

Tia Louise has revealed the covers for A Little Taste!

  

Releasing April 13, 2023

A LITTLE TASTE

By Tia Louise

Aiden Stone is a six-foot-two former Marine with a permanent scowl, dark hair, and dreamy blue eyes.

He’s the oldest of the Stone brothers, and his “by the book” family has battled mine for control of our small town for generations. 

The last thing I should do is sleep with him. Or nearly run him down with my truck. Especially since he's sort-of my new boss...

It doesn’t help that my grandmother (the mayor) is a former magician, and my mom is a psychic (sort-of)... And my dad died in a failed escape-artist attempt (that my mother is convinced was a murder).

Trust me, I know crazy, but I’m just plain ole Britt Bailey, Shania Twain-loving, non-magical forensic photographer. Yes, I take pictures of dead things, but I don’t see them in my bedroom at night. 

I only want to see one thing in my bedroom at night, and when I’m called home to help Sheriff Stone on an investigation, he actually stops frowning for a minute, and my teenage fantasies get very real.  

It’s a terrible idea. We work together, he’s seven years older than me, he’s a single dad, he hates all things magic, but a little taste, and we can’t say no.

Until the town crime wave turns personal, putting everything on the line, and we’ll need more than a magic bullet to get our happily ever after.

(A LITTLE TASTE is a small-town, grumpy single-dad romance with a touch of light suspense and lots of tasty spice. No cheating. No cliffhanger.)

Release Blitz - THE THIRD BASEMAN by Lulu Moore

 

The Third Baseman by Lulu Moore is now live! 

My name is Jupiter Reeves, and I am a fraud.
It's not that what's written about me isn't true.
I am the greatest third baseman of my generation, possibly ever.
I am surly and unapproachable.
I do have a constant scowl, with an armour of tattoos.
And to the outside world, I play my role as the bad boy of baseball like I was born to do it.
But when the doors are closed and you boil it down, I'm nothing more than a man who lost his heart too young, with no prospect of getting it back... especially as I still have no idea where its current owner is.
That was until I was offered an opportunity I couldn't refuse:
Leave the Los Angeles Dodgers—where I've played my entire career—and join The New York Lions in exchange for tracking down the one woman who's consumed me since the day I first saw her fourteen years ago.
Job done.
Now we're under the same roof once again; except Marnie Matthews wants nothing to do with me, or my heart.
So along with winning the Commissioner's Trophy, I have the added challenge of winning back the only woman I've ever loved before the season ends, and convince her to stay in New York with me.
I might have been stupid enough to lose her once, but I'm definitely not going to do it again.
Marnie Matthews is about to become the biggest achievement of my life.

Release Blitz - ONE MORE CHANCE by Samantha Chase

 

One More Chance by Samantha Chase is now live!

Years ago, he hopped on a bus to pursue his dreams in the music business.
But that meant leaving behind the girl who could never really be his.

Mick Tyler is insanely successful and has achieved everything he ever wanted, but he’s never been more miserable. Feeling a little disenchanted and introspective, Mick can’t help but let his mind wander through all of life’s “what if” moments. The biggest what if? What if I hadn’t walked away from the girl of my dreams—the one who had dreams of her own. And now that he’s thought about her once, he can’t stop wondering.

Sienna Ashley is desperate for a little excitement. As thrilling and satisfying as her pursuit of scientific research has been for her intellect, it’s left her heart feeling a little neglected. For years she dreamed of finding someone who not only understood her brains but accepted her and all her quirks. Once upon a time she thought she’d found that someone, but it’s been years since he walked out of her life.

Past and present collide when Mick and Sienna unexpectedly come face to face. Together, they decide to see what could have happened had they chosen a different path all those years ago. But they’ve given themselves a deadline. Two weeks. Two glorious weeks to either work each other out of their systems, or to embark on the love of a lifetime.
