Release Blitz - ON THE OTHER SIDE by Harper Jackson

ON THE OTHER SIDE
Harper Jackson

Release Date: February 27
Available in Kindle Unlimited



I built my life on my belief in justice. Until the day the system proved me wrong.

Now I’m back on Hatterwick Island with nothing left—no career, no credibility, and no illusions about the law I once trusted. The only thing heavier than the guilt I carry is knowing I once turned my back on a man who didn’t deserve it.

Rios Carrera.

Twelve years ago, my cousin disappeared, and he was the last one to see her alive. I believed the whispers that he was responsible. I made him the villain of the story—and he has every reason to hate me for it.

But when a graduate student vanishes and the police insist she left of her own accord, Rios is the only one willing to look deeper. What starts as a search for the truth drags us into something darker than either of us imagined.

Reluctant allies become something far more dangerous. Because the closer we get to uncovering what’s been buried on this island for decades, the more I realize justice isn’t black and white…and the man I once condemned may be the only one I can trust with my life—and my heart.

Release Blitz & Review - WHISPER SWEET NOTHINGS by Laura Pavlov

Whisper Sweet Nothings by Laura Pavlov is now live!



A Small Town, Single Dad, Nanny, Age Gap Standalone Romance from USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestselling Author, Laura Pavlov.


Winnie Smith is the perfect nanny.

She’s reliable, warm, and my daughter adores her.

She cooks like a pro, styles pigtails like a fairy godmother, and knows her way around a car engine better than most mechanics.

She’s made life easier.

The house feels full again.

And maybe… so do I.

But living under the same roof has its challenges.

Like catching her in the kitchen after midnight… barefoot, in tiny sleep shorts, eating ice cream straight from the tub.

Don’t even get me started on the way that her lips wrapped around that spoon.

I digress.

It shouldn’t mean anything.

She’s a decade younger. I’m her boss.

She’s off-limits.

And yet, it’s all I can think about.

I was just looking for a nanny—not nightly cold showers and definitely not feelings.

But the more we blur the lines, the harder it is to keep pretending.

We say it’s temporary. No strings. Just one harmless arrangement.

But what if she’s not just what my daughter needs…

What if she’s exactly what I’ve been missing too?

Audiobook Release Blitz - INSIDE SILENCE by Freya Barker

 

Title: Inside Silence (Silence Series, #2) 
Author: Freya Barker 
Performed by: Veronica Worthington & Eric MacArthur 
Genre: Romantic Suspense 
Release Date: January 13, 2026 
Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC. 


Savannah (Savvy) Colter is not easily overwhelmed, which is a good thing, since she is the sheriff of Edwards County. It’s rare to find someone her age— a woman to boot—carrying such responsibility, but over the years, Savvy has more than proven herself worthy of the position…to most.

However, when in a matter of a few weeks an old flame resurfaces in Silence, and two particularly violent murders land on her desk, her steady and predictable life becomes a little much to handle.

New full-time single parent, Nate Gaines, reluctantly returns to his hometown, Silence, to offer his teenage daughter some much-needed stability. As a contractor he can work anywhere, and it’s not like he left a particularly fulfilling life behind, but he’s not too sure how much work he’s going to get here.

Although, some of the changes he encounters in Silence are a surprise. The most shocking one is seeing the woman he once craved like air, now wearing the sheriff’s badge he so despises.

Coming home is definitely not turning out the way he’d envisioned. Especially when a sudden crime spree has the law knocking on his door…again.

Release Blitz & Review - TRUSTING ROMANCE by S.E. Rose

 TRUSTING ROMANCE

SE Rose

Release Date: February 23

Jocelyn Hernandez loves romance books, but ever the skeptic, she doesn’t believe that they are anything more than some great fairy tales.

She’s been spending the last year working at a romance bookstore while she finishes her graduate degree. But with her graduation coming up soon, she’s not sure what she’s going to do with her life. She’s been burnt so many times by family, guys she’s dated, and even friends that she isn’t sure who to trust. It doesn’t help that she swears she keeps seeing a man that might be her long lost father. Her head is spinning with indecision, and she feels adrift with no anchor. Can she even trust herself to figure out her next move?

Hutch Cromwell had everything he wanted. He had a perfect girlfriend, his dream career playing football, and an enormous home near his parents’ farm. But when a tractor accident on the farm left him injured, his whole word came crashing down. He’s now living in the city, working in a job that pays his bills, and not trusting women enough to date.

Jocelyn and Hutch have flirted, talked for hours at happy hour, and even given each other hugs during hard times over the last year. But when they end up sharing a guesthouse on a group vacation, their hidden feelings come bubbling to the surface. The only question is: Can these two friends get over their trust issues long enough to give each other a chance at romance?

Release Blitz & Review - THE HOTSHOT by Piper Rayne

The Hotshot by Piper Rayne is now live!



Raising my cousin’s three kids wasn’t in my five-year plan.
Actually, it wasn’t in any plan.

One minute I’m a single labor and delivery nurse living a quiet life and the next, I’m navigating guardianship hearings, meltdowns, and homework I’m pretty sure requires a math degree.

Enter Hayes Carlisle.

My best friend’s older brother.
Chicago Colts newest catcher.
And the man I once kissed and immediately pretended I didn’t.

So, when the custody battle I’ve been dreading becomes a reality, I shouldn’t be surprised that Hayes swoops in with a wild idea—a fake relationship. According to him, pretending we’re together will polish his image and prove to the court I’m not taking on an instant family alone.

But pretending to be Hayes’ girlfriend is a terrible idea.

Because he remembers how to make me laugh.
Because he looks at me like our kiss wasn’t a one-time mistake.
Because the kids start asking him to read bedtime stories.
Because my heart starts wanting things my life doesn’t have room for.

I can manage the chaos. I can fight for these kids.
But pretending not to fall for Hayes Carlisle?

That might be the one thing I can’t do.

Review Tour - THE GRUMP NEXT DOOR by Kendall Ryan

THE GRUMP NEXT DOOR



One guest house. One week. One slow-burn disaster waiting to happen.

Dean Whitaker has zero interest in weddings, fairy lights, or the perky woman currently turning his guest house into a scented-candle crime scene.

He’s a divorce attorney. He thrives on prenups, logic, and not getting glitter on his suits.

Poppy Monroe is a wedding planner with a checklist for everything—except how to survive living next door to a hot, brooding, tightly wound lawyer—aka the groom’s brother.

They’re opposites in every way—except for the undeniable chemistry neither of them wants to talk about.

Their mission: survive one week of wedding chaos.

Her vibe: sunshine and glitter pens.
His vibe: whiskey and restraint.

Opposites attract. Then they combust.

Release Blitz - SWEET POISON by Rachel Van Dyken

SWEET POISON
Rachel Van Dyken

Release Date: February 11

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED



𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘦𝘦.

𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳.

𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭…

His breath hit my neck, lips brushing skin.

"𝘓𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘢𝘺. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯, 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺, 𝘩𝘢𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘪𝘵?”

All it took was one phrase—“𝘞𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘢 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘢 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦?”—and I was already losing.

To the enemy.

To a Tinder date gone violently wrong.

To the Syndicate’s most dangerous heir.

It was supposed to be my last middle finger to the establishment before they sacrificed me on the family altar of arranged marriage. So I took control. I made the rules. I chose the husband.

Louis De Lange.

The twin who should’ve died.

The traitor.

The man who lost my sister—his so-called true love.

He said he had nothing left. So I made him my weapon.

But the problem with controlling a wolf in sheep’s clothing?

You never see the fangs until they’re already at your throat.

The plan was simple. The timeline set. Sixty days to infiltrate, manipulate, and survive.

But I wasn’t banking on Louis being more than broken—I wasn’t ready for how dangerous he could be when he finally decides he’s done bleeding for everyone else but himself.

I was playing to win.

He was playing to lose.

And we were both about to learn…

The sweeter the poison the more bitter the fight.

To the end. Love. Hell. Or destruction. Let the games begin.

Release Blitz - SUNSHINE AND SINS by R. C. Stephens



Sunshine and Sins by R.C. Stephens is now live!



Some people are made of light.
Others are made of shadows.

I have always been both sunshine and sin, and I was never meant to outrun the darkness I was born into.
I didn't return to Val-Du-Lys because it was safe. I came back because it was the only place my heart still recognized, a quiet town holding memories I never learned how to leave behind.
Small towns don't forget. Not the past. Not secrets. And not the boy I loved before I understood how dangerous love could be.
Eric Thorne.
We were never supposed to exist in the same world. The police director's son and the daughter of a man everyone feared. What began in secret turned into scandal, and I learned quickly that loving him meant putting him in danger.
So I left the moment high school ended, believing distance was the only way to protect him from the life my father was pulling me into.
Years later, I'm back.
As encrypted messages begin appearing again, ones only someone from my past should know, and I realize someone is watching my every move, Eric is the one who steps closer, steady and unshaken, even when I try to push him away.
The history between us still aches.
The love never faded.
In a town where shadows return without warning, he reaches for me anyway.
This time, choosing him might expose everything I ran from, but loving him has never felt more worth the risk.

5 Stars

I knew that Cash's story would be worth the wait. I was pulled in quickly as Cash discovers his high school best friend on his property with her 3 cute kiddos. Looking for him and needing his help.

Our recluse has spent too many years convincing himself he was worthy. So tainted that he would just darken anyone's door and bring harm to them. No matter how hard he fought to keep Daisy at arms length she kept slipping under his radar. And those kids... he never stood a chance.

That Daisy could leave a relationship with so many lies and to be scared for her life. To find herself with another man who thinks he is dangerous also, seem like too much. But she knew the man he had closed off so far down. She just had to coax him back out.

Grab your copy and enjoy the beauty that comes out of this story. It is a rollercoaster of a ride but work every twist and turn.
