SMALL TOWN, BIG STORM

Elise Faber

Release Date: August 10

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

I’ve taken pucks to the face…

But nothing hits harder than hearing her call me Dad.

I return to Cedar Hollow for my father’s funeral. Not for forgiveness. Not for Poppy. And definitely not for the daughter I never knew was mine.

Poppy rebuilt her life without me—and she has every reason not to trust the man who left her behind.

But the moment I meet my little girl, everything changes. Walking away isn’t an option anymore.

They can warn her about me all they want. This time, I’m not leaving.

I’ll burn this town to the ground before I lose them again.

4.5 Stars

This is a great start to a new series with lots of world building but focuses on Storm and Poppy's second chance romance. There is a boat load of emotions to sort through but the biggest one is allowing them to to come to the surface and dealing with them. A fantastic array of side characters that I can't wait to get to see more as the series continues.

Storm had one plan as he returned to his childhood town, get in bury the bastard that was his father and get the hell out. But, his brother and life had different plans for him. When he runs into Poppy, the one that got away all those years ago, many old feelings come rushing back. Then he gets a good look at her little mini me and notices one thing. His grey eyes staring back at him.

Poppy is a strong independent woman who is working her butt off to run the bar she inherited from her uncle. It is her livelihood for her and her little girl. As much as their small town gets in other peoples business they have done so much to help her and Holly out, she couldn't imagine being anywhere else. When she runs into Storm, she knows she needs to tell him about Holly, not that she didn't try all those years ago.

Watching Storm and Poppy, navigate his return, him getting to know his daughter and him find peace with the past, ready to move on to a future he can control. Lots of laughs and humor mixed in with heavy emotions keeping the reader engaged from the very beginning.

Release Blitz & Review - MAKE IT LAST by J.H. Croix

MAKE IT LAST

J.H. Croix

Release Date: August 7

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

A freshly divorced heroine. A rugged small-town Alaska firefighter, and the accidental glacier rescue that changes everything.

My marriage blew up. So I went to Alaska. Obviously, the logical next step. If my cheating ex hadn't gotten caught, I'd still be the fool who thought I had forever. Instead, I'm on a reckless divorce trip, trying to figure out what starting over even looks like. I came to the wilderness to find myself again, not to break my ankle on a freezing glacier.

Enter Tanner Houlton.

He's a local hotshot firefighter, a flannel-wearing knight, and the exact kind of steady, protective man who shows up when everything goes wrong. I'm an expert at hiding my pain behind loud laughter, but Tanner sees right through my defenses.

What I don't expect is how much that steadiness costs him. He has his own scars, yet he's determined to prove I'm worth fighting for. I swore off men the second I signed my divorce papers, but as the snow melts around us, this broody firefighter is slipping past all of my defenses.

Perfect for readers who want a healing, slow burn romance featuring a heroine learning to trust again after betrayal and a steady devoted hero. Ideal for fans of Elsie Silver, Devney Perry, and Lucy Score.

Janie thought she could disappear. Drive far enough, fast enough, and her abusive husband would never find them. But monsters don’t stop hunting just because you run.

As danger closes in, Roam does the one thing he swore he never would—he lets them in.

But when the past finally catches up to them, Roam will have to decide if he’s willing to sacrifice the only life he’s ever known for the woman and little girl who’ve become his whole world.

He’s always known freedom comes with a price.

He never knew the price could look like home.

Camden

The day she left town was the day I changed. Maren Holm walked away without so much as a glance back, taking my heart with her. Everything we had talked about, planned for, the life I thought we both wanted together, just vanished, leaving me alone and miserable. That’s when old Camden was replaced with the fun-loving, carefree guy I am today.

Then, out of the blue, she returned.

My new next-door neighbor and I have a past, and it’s one I don’t want to dredge up. The problem is she has a son. The cutest three-year-old boy, who pulls at the strings of my damaged heart and refuses to let go. Together, they make me want…more.

But I just don’t know if I’m capable of giving her my heart a second time.

Maren

Returning to Cooper Town was exactly what I needed. I wanted my son, Theo, to experience all the perks of small-town living. With the help of my dad, I found the perfect location to start over. Except, my new neighbor and I have a history. A very painful one, and even though I knew I’d likely run into him again, I never expected it to be in my own driveway.

Suddenly, my past is standing directly in front of me again.

He’s still angry, not that I blame him. I walked away from him, from the life we both wanted. It wasn’t easy or right, but I had my reasons. Now, being around him is stirring up old feelings, especially when I see him with my son. Their bond is instant, and before I know it, I’m being drawn right back in to the Camden I used to know and love.

Only this time, it’s not just my heart I’m risking, but Theo’s too.

SACKED

Aleatha Romig

Release Date: July 27

“Power, legacy, secrets, and emotional warfare… I ate it UP.” —Review

Second chance romance. Football dynasty. High-stakes betrayal.

My life, my career, my future—was built on the Hubbards’ legacy: honor, heritage, tradition.

Or so I believed.

Now it’s all falling apart.

The Coopers aren’t just a football team.

They’re power, secrets, and emotional warfare.

Under the bright lights of Crystal Light Stadium, the real game is finally clear.

This isn’t just about the Super Bowl—

It’s about protecting my family’s dynasty at any cost.

And this is when he walks back into my life.

The man from my past.

My biggest regret… and my greatest weakness.

He wants a second chance.

A place beside me in a game ruled by loyalty, lies, and betrayal.

But in this world, trust is a risk.

And desire is a liability.

Because what we share…

It’s explosive. Dangerous. Impossible to ignore.

And it might be the one thing that brings everything crashing down.

Because football isn’t just a game.

It’s power. It’s legacy. It’s survival.

And I’ll stop at nothing to keep it alive.

Have you been Aleatha’d?

From New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a steamy, addictive football romance packed with power plays, betrayal, and jaw-dropping twists.

SACKED is Book 3 in The Coopers series, ends on a cliffhanger, and must be read in order: INTERCEPTED → RUSHED → SACKED → SCORED.

Release Blitz & Review - THE IRRESISTIBLE ONE by Marni Mann

The Irresistible One by Marni Mann is now live!

A naughty enemies-to-lovers, single dad, billionaire romance from USA Today best-selling author Marni Mann …

I’m the irresistible one. The man who always gets what he wants. Too bad the only woman I want is the one I can’t have.

Dating apps can’t touch the dark and uninhibited desires I keep hidden. For the kind of kink I crave, I go to Lush—a playground where fantasies become reality.

That’s where I meet her.

The breathtaking blonde in the crimson dress who steals the air from my lungs, becoming an instant fixation after just one night.

Daring.

Uninhibited.

Captivating.

One taste will never be enough.

And when we meet again, it’s the worst possible scenario …

The sexy bombshell who ruined me for anyone else is now the one person who is completely out of my reach.

Off-limits.

Untouchable.

Forbidden.

The absolute enemy of everything I stand for.

But when scorching chemistry, razor-sharp banter, and an undeniable attraction collide, staying away from her is no longer an option.

What happens when the woman I can’t have becomes the only one I can’t resist?
