4.5 Stars

What a wonderful book to read. Though this could be read as a standalone, I strongly encourage you start at the beginning and love this series of found family just as much as I have. We had glimpses of Dom and Cherry in the previous book and this is their time to shine. The chemistry and emotions in this one will have you turning pages and reading just one more chapter before putting it down.

Dom has finally seemed to have found a place, where he feels he belongs and really wants to stay. He has been envloped by his peers at Reynolds Restoration. Happy to be part of the gang but deep down still missing something. Something he has longed for, for some time. Will he find what he is looking for?

Cherry lost her love many years ago and has spent her focus on raising her daughter as a single mother, salon owner and whatever else life threw at her. Now that Hannah is all grown and starting her own life, she is feeling a little out of sorts. The job of a hairdresser is taking its toll on her older body and she wonders how long she can carry on.

When Dom and Cherry first meet there is an instant chemistry. Will Cherry open her heart and let the alpha bossy Dom in?

Grab your copy and enjoy the ride.

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.

Release Blitz - OVER THE LIMIT by K. Bromberg



Over The Limit by K. Bromberg is now live!


A forbidden, Formula 1 romance from New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg.

You don’t mess around with a teammate’s ex. Ever. But that’s easier said than done when it comes to Blair Carmichael. She’s sexy, intelligent, gorgeous, and one hundred percent off-limits.

And I’ve never fallen harder.

But I can’t touch (when I most definitely want to).

My team’s success and my chance at a new contract for next season depend on me keeping my hands on the wheel. And off her curves.

As the season progresses, we secretly steal as much time as we can together—in hotel rooms, after races, anywhere we can’t be found out. A real romance out in the open would risk her job in the industry, her reputation, and my image–not to mention my strained relationship with my teammate.

I’ve lived my whole life with one mantra. Team first. What I want outside of my racing career hasn’t factored in.

Until now.

Until Blair.

She deserves the world and I plan on giving it to her. Even if I have to walk away from the biggest contract of my career.

Yes, the nerve of the man! He starts flirting with me! I’d like to tell you it didn’t work…but it does.

Then a blizzard traps us in my tiny cottage, and I see a different side to this business mogul. After I stupidly hurt myself, Maddox surprises me by taking care of me. You learn a lot about someone when you’re trapped in a one-bedroom cottage.
The only problem? I only have one teeny, tiny bed and the blizzard showing no signs of stopping…

Maddox Whitley's story can be read as standalone.





4 Stars

This installment of this fantastic family series is an enemies to lover romance with just a little bit of angst. Very quickly Cami and Maddox realize their chemistry drawing them together, even if most think it is a mistake due to the business ventures happening around them.

As these wonderful characters fight the nostalgia of letting go of a peice of the past while finding a new focus and happiness. Maybe leaving just a little bit of the old just the way it was.

As with the rest of the series, the author will draw you in and hold you right to the end. A warm hug as the family rallies around these characters with love and banter. Grab your copy today and enjoy.

Release Blitz - THE WAY WE TOUCH by Tia Louise


The Way We Touch by Tia Louise is now live!



My brother’s best friend might be a cocky wide receiver with an ego the size of Texas, but I did not mean to almost kill him with a ghost pepper.

Logan Murphy should come with a warning.
He’s as hot as a Carolina Reaper on black asphalt in the middle of July.
With perfectly messy dark hair and smoldering blue eyes—and don’t even get me started on the way that black tee stretches across his toned chest…

He’s my brother’s best friend.
He’s also a football star on track to win the first wide-receiver MVP in league history.
Good thing I only date golfers… or I did.
Good thing he’s only visiting for a month, because the more I see he’s not a player, the harder it is to block him from running away with my heart.

I’ve always loved football, but after eight years pro, everything about it leaves me cold.
So when I agree to head south with my best friend, the last thing I expect is to have my face melted off by his pepper-loving little sister.
Dylan Bradford was supposed to be a kid, not a feisty pinup who looks at me like she’s never seen a man before.

She’s all curves and cutoffs, bare feet dancing in the warm summer night,
But I’m only in town a month, and she doesn’t date football players.
Then late-night talks turn to sharing past hurts and future dreams, and shy looks turn to confident kisses.
The heat between us can’t be denied.
It’s spicy and sweet, and it melts us together.
Until the way we touch becomes more than friendly—it’s forever.

(A small-town, brother’s best friend, sports romance with hilarious “accidents,” and a dirty-talking hero. No cheating. No cliffhanger. No third-act breakup.)

Release Blitz - FALSE START by Kandi Steiner



False Start by Kandi Steiner is now live!


Kyle Robbins: Seattle's rookie tight end and the first boy to break my heart.
Oh, did I mention he's also my new client... and fake boyfriend?

I thought I left Kyle and our complicated past behind me, but when he saunters up as my new client at a house showing, I’m quickly reminded how much he still haunts me.

I try to walk away, but the stubborn jerk isn’t having it. In fact, he doubles down on working with me, as if our tragic history doesn’t exist at all.

The commission from working with him is the key to a new life for me and my son. It’s worth putting up with the cocky athlete long enough to find him a house. But when Kyle sees the bruises left by my darling ex-husband, he thinks he can save me—and suddenly, he’s interested in much more than just being a client.

Before I know it, I’m wrangled into a scheme so crazy it just might work. Kyle pretends to be my fake boyfriend so he can keep my ex in line until I get the commission from this house sale and get the hell out of Seattle for good.

But with a past as thick with chemistry and tension as ours is, it’s not long before those fake touches feel all too real. Every brush of his hand against my back has me spinning back to that night. Every kiss has me dizzy with the love I felt at eighteen. And every day that passes without me finding him a house has me wondering how much longer I can survive this game we’re playing.

Fake-dating each other was supposed to be for my safety.
But I can't help thinking my heart is more at risk now than ever before.

Kandi Steiner is a #1 Amazon Bestselling Author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tennessee. Best known for writing “emotional rollercoaster” stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance — in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you’re a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she’s your gal.

An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women’s Studies. Her love for writing started at the ripe age of 10, and in 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her “freedom of press.”

She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.

When Kandi isn’t writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, planning her next adventure, or pole dancing (yes, you read that right). She enjoys live music, traveling, hiking, yoga, playing with her fur babies and soaking up the sweetness of life.

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

STERLING STREAK by L.B. Dunbar is LIVE! 


This is an all-new small-town romance with a big family, and the silver fox swoon one expects from her love over-40 romances.


1-CLICK here!

Kindle Unlimited

What to expect:
✔️Country Music Star
✔️Baseball Player
✔️Single Dad
✔️Forced Proximity
✔️all the spice
✔️small-town romance


Love was a losing battle for this country music darling and a single dad, baseball star until one night brings them together and one small town sets the field for a possible winning streak.

They call me Lady Boss. Maneater. Queen. But beneath the makeup, blond wig, and glitzy costumes, I’m just a country girl who likes to sing. I don’t hate men, I’m just struggling to find a good one. I’ve learned my lesson. Fool me once, and it will never, ever happen again.

So I’m baffled when I meet Ford Sylver.

A superstar in his own right as centerfielder for the Chicago Anchors baseball team, plus a single dad to three adorable little girls, we share a moment when I save his firm backside and pretend he’s mine. Something that he can never be.

Only, when he suffers a season-changing injury and I need a place to disappear, we both end up back in Sterling Falls, where I’m suddenly and unwittingly his nanny.

There’s danger in having a wild side. I’ll try anything once. However, forced into close quarters with Ford, acting as his personal nurse, and caring for his three little ones might backfire. Because I’m staring at all I ever wanted and never thought would happen for me.

After losing at love in the past, could I finally be on a winning streak?

Releasing: July 1, 2024
Cover Design: Sarah Sentz
Model Cover Photographer: Wander Aguiar


I should have known I’d be playing with fire when I found the sexy as hell woman moving in next door...

It was pouring rain, so I figured the neighborly thing to do would be to lend a hand.

I nearly dropped to my knees when I realized who she was.

Hailey Wagner.

It’s been six years since I’ve seen her, and she’s always been the one person on earth who is off limits.

My past sins I’ve kept like an ugly secret made sure of that.

Too bad this single mom with the soulful eyes still makes my pulse speed the way it did back then, and I soon find our chemistry is just as strong.

When I find her ex threatening her, I insist on staying with Hailey and her little girl until I’m sure they’re safe.

I thought I could handle being under her roof. Only the tension between us strains, and with one forbidden kiss, all restraint is lost. We collide in a lightning bolt of greed, the two of us locked behind her door night after night.

Falling so hard I know there will be no coming back from it.

But being with Hailey exposes the past I’ve been trying to hide, and I’ll do anything to protect her from it. Because if I don’t? We’re both going to pay the consequences…
