Release Blitz & Review - HIGH INTENSITY by Freya Barker

 

Title: High Intensity (High Mountain Trackers HMT 2G, #2) 

Author: Freya Barker 

Genre: Romantic Suspense 

Release Date: November 4, 2024 

Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC. 

Dog trainer and handler, Jillian Lederman, is moving with her pack to Libby, Montana, a place where she has made friends and hopes to find a fresh start. It’s time. For years, she’s just been keeping her wounds fresh by staying in Missoula—where there were regular reminders of all she’s lost—while the rest of the world has continued to move forward. 

Perhaps the new house, the beautiful mountains, and a certain pair of clear, blue eyes hold the promise of new beginnings. 

Since changing careers years ago, former FBI agent Lucas Wolff has found a much better work-life balance as a member of High Mountain Trackers. Still able to serve his community, he has also been carving out a comfortable existence for himself and is not looking to make any changes to it anytime soon. Not even for a particular bold and ballsy redhead he’s been trying to avoid.

That turns out to be an impossible feat when a plane crash during a blizzard sets both of them on the trail of a young girl, all alone in the mountains. But it soon becomes evident they are not the only ones looking, and staying safe means sticking close together.

“Oh, Jillian, I’d like you to meet my son, Lucas.” I meet those pretty green eyes, now sparkling with amusement. Of course a dog named Peanut would belong to this woman. She named her cadaver dog, Emo, after all. Hell, I knew she recently moved to the area—Sloane mentioned it more than once—but I wasn’t expecting to run into her at my mother’s assisted-living home. That’s a little too close for comfort. “So you do have a first name; Lucas, huh?” “You already know each other?” Mom looks back and forth between us. “We do. How are you doing, Jillian?” She adjusts the small furball she’s holding in her arms. “Good, thanks.” I turn to my mother to explain, “Jillian and I met working on a search last summer.” Despite my immediate attempt to identify our connection as a professional one only, I see Mom’s mind already at work behind the gleam in her eyes. Great.

5 Stars

Ms Barker has outdone herself in this book. We get the same suspenseful story as we are taken to the mountains to look for any survivors of a horrific plane crash. But we get a strong mix of her soft side as we learn of Jillian's past and her healing after a tragedy, that draws her to the crash victim. Be ready to have your heart hurt while the story unfolds but don't stop looking over your shoulder.

Jillian and Wolff have met before and he felt a strong pull to her then but wasn't looking for any sort of relationship. But as the time goes on and he knows she is now there to stay in his town, he can't seem to fight the draw to her. She is a remarkable woman, loving her animals and sharing them with others in comfort and need.

Suddenly Jillian finds herself in a place she never expected to be again. Protector for a little girl. When the need arises, she takes charge like a master and Wolff is right by her side holding them both up.

This series just keeps getting better and I can't wait for what comes next.

Author: Vi Keeland

Publisher: Simon & Schuster/Emily Bestler Books

Genre: Standalone Thriller

Release Date: June 17, 2025

As a college English professor, Elizabeth looks forward to the start of each new semester teaching her creative writing seminar. At least until she reads chapter one of The Reckoning, a tale about a high school senior who has an affair with her teacher. To anyone else it would be the beginning of a great page-turner, but to Elizabeth it is the beginning of the end.

She knows this story. It’s all familiar because she lived it. The girl in the story was her best friend Jocelyn, and Elizabeth knows exactly how the story will end—with the teacher dead. Because she was the one who killed him.

Someone knows what Elizabeth did twenty years ago and her secret is about to be exposed, but who is the mystery student submitting the chapters? In an effort to find out, Elizabeth returns to her Louisiana hometown where it soon becomes clear that no matter how many years have gone by, she can’t escape her past.

Cover Reveal - MERRY WITH ME by Kaylee Ryan

Kaylee Ryan has revealed the cover for Merry with Me!

Releasing November 26, 2024

Blakely

When my boss tells me I’m taking over the planning of the annual Christmas gala, I can barely

contain my excitement. Not only is it a huge opportunity, but I also love all things Christmas.

I’m on cloud nine until I realize I have to work closely with the grumpy doctor, who is my

opposite in every way. He loathes the holidays. At least that’s what he says. His eyes tell me a

different story.

That’s why I make it my mission to make him fall in love with Christmas. That’s our family motto after all. I’ll make him love the holidays harder than ever before. How hard can it be?

Oliver

My contract states I have to serve on a committee. When I fail to submit which committee I’d

like to work on, I’m assigned the Christmas gala. Me… the guy who detests the holiday.

In years past, I let the marketing manager handle it all. I was there if she needed me. She never did. I expected more of the same this year, but it turns out, I get more than I bargained for. I didn’t anticipate her. Miss Ray of Sunshine, assistant manager.

That’s how I find myself attending holiday events and attaching myself to her any way I can.

She’s trying to make me fall in love with Christmas. Instead, I’m falling in love with her.

Release Blitz & Review - PERFECT ENOUGH by Kelly Elliott

Perfect Enough by Kelly Elliott is now live!

Over the years, Joshua has watched most of his family fall in love. He and his cousin Nate are the last single Shaws standing, and while Nate's seemingly content to stay that way, Josh wants the kind of love his sister, parents, and grandparents have found. In the meantime, he's alone. And lonely. Particularly since, until that special someone comes along, Josh believes certain...ahem...intimacies are worth waiting for.

Sophia Montgomery is still reeling from the unexpected passing of her beloved father when, in her grief, she texts his old phone number--and gets a reply. The person on the other end, Josh Shaw, is sympathetic, funny, and kind...everything Sophia needs right now. And when her grieving mother suddenly focuses on Sophia's dating life, it's not long before Josh goes from text friend to fake boyfriend to get her mom off her back.

But the first time Josh and Sophia meet in person? Well...there's nothing fake about their instant attraction.

Giddy with newfound feelings, the young couple isn't prepared for the bombs about to go off in their lives--including revelations about Sophia's father and a Shaw family tragedy that rocks Josh's entire world.

No one ever said life would be perfect. But if Josh and Sophia rely on each other to get through their biggest challenges so far as a couple, their love could prove more than perfect enough.

4.5 Stars

This is the eighth installment of the series and though could be read as a standalone, I suggest reading the series for the full story depth. Emotions are high as both characters deal with a loss and grief in this book, but there is still plenty of swoon worthy moments.

Sophia seems to have everything coming at her at once. While dealing with the loss of her father, she sends him a text to his phone. Little does she know, her mom has cancelled it and the number now belongs to someone else. When she gets a response she is shocked. 

Josh has watched all of his cousins find their partner and other half, just like their parents all did before. When you are part of such a big loving family that is so close it is hard not to want what everyone else has. He has stuck strong to his beliefs and is waiting for that one who changes everything. 

Little does he know that being nice and starting a friendship with a stranger who is sad, could make such a difference in his life. A slow burn friendship to more. A partner to hold you up when you want to fall down and let life pass you by. 

Grab your copy get cozy and enjoy the craziness that is the Shaw family one more time.

Author: Cassie Colton 

Genre: Romantic Suspense 

Release Date: October 29, 2024

Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC. 

Devastated, destitute, and depressed Tess Ramerez is struggling to keep her taco truck, her only livelihood, afloat after the death of her beloved grandmother. Despite her financial and emotional situation, Tess does all she can to help others--even a young man who's embroiled in danger with a perilous gang.  When Tess is injured in an attempt to save him, she has no trust in the medical field or the money to recover.

Retired Navy SEAL Noah "Taco" Whitaker puts his life on the line for others, facing off against sinister criminals for Serenity Securities. He finds solace in the spicier things in life, sexy women and scrumptious foods.  And tacos top his list. The fiery, spitfire who owns his favorite food truck and keeps him on his toes with her spicy personality is an added bonus to his palate.  But when a dangerous gang infiltrates their area and Tess is hurt, he'll do anything to help her.  Getting her to agree to heal on Serenity Mountain is one of the toughest challenges of his life.  Can he find a way to convince Tess to trust him or will tempting Tess be harder than taking down the gang who threatens them all?

Release Blitz - JACKSON by Bella Jewel

Jackson by Bella Jewel is now live!

Evil.

That's what he is. The man who took her from me.

Twisted and dark, the kind of person who has a front of innocence but behind the mask, is a cold-blooded killer.

Now, because of him, she's stuck behind bars, in a world where I can't protect her.

Violent enemies and people who want blood will hunt her down.

She has a past that will haunt her.

They'll find her, and they'll try to take what's mine.

Helpless isn't a feeling I've had in my life, but it's what I feel now.

Serenity is tough, but she's not invincible.

Being in prison will test her, it will make or break her.

My fear is that she won't come out of it unscathed.

Time is running out, and the club will need to fight to end this.

I will find the man who did this to her, and his blood will coat my hands.

I will make him wish he was never born.

But first, I'm going to get her out of there.

A prison break is on the cards—dangerous and risky.

But for her, I'd do anything.

For her, I'll set the world alight.
