This swoon worthy and suspenseful romance will pull at your heartstrings and never let go. <br /><br />As a successful entrepreneur, Roman Costas, takes pride of what he’s been able to achieve with the help of his younger brother. Although he might be perceived as cold, dangerous and private. Roman has grown up in a world of organized crime and knows the dangers that come with running that side of the family business. It’s his legitimate casino business that Roman overseas has made him a wealthy man and there is a part of him that wonders what it would be like to walk away from the family legacy. That is until he unknowingly puts an innocent woman in danger that has him ready to burn the whole city down in order to protect her. Roman never intended to connect with Effie, she is kind and the completely opposite of him. Yet, the more he gets to know her, the harder it becomes to let her go. <br /><br />Effie Warner never expected to be caught in the middle of Roman’s world. Now her life is in danger and has no where else to go. It’s when her business gets threatened, that she has no choice but to turn to Roman. For someone who is feared in his world, he is nothing but attentive towards her. He vows to protect no matter what, something she is not sued to feeling. After all, it was someone closer to her that put her in the danger she is in. <br /><br />I absolutely loved reading <i>Roman</i>, it explosive conclusion to the duet just keeps getting better! If you love an overly protective hero with a twist, then this is the book for you. Both of the characters have backstories that had me hooked from the very beginning and we get to see them develop in the story. While Effie might not have the best relationship with her sister, Roman has been able to keep his relationship stronger with his brother even after going through a lot growing up. It’s their pasts that have shaped their present and future as well. It’s up to them to rely on each other if they want a shot a real relationship. All in all, the ending was perfect, I would highly recommend checking out this book. I cannot wait to read what Moreland comes up with next. :) <br /><br />***I received an advanced copy from the publisher.

This second chances and new beginnings romance will leave you rooting for the characters until the end! <br /><br />For Raven Walsh, attending the glamorous wedding of her boss/friend Zach Dare, reminds her of the life she used to have. A life she’s been trying so desperately to get away from for a while. Though she doesn’t miss the luxury of her upbringing, it has lead her to live a normal and modest life. As Raven takes on more responsibility as the manager of The Back Door bar, she has immediate access to her boss/co-owner of the bar, Remy Sterling. Even though they are friends, Remy enjoys flirting with her, leaving Raven to wonder if they could ever have something else. But there is the fear of what could happen if those around her get hurt because of her past. Leaving Raven to build walls around her in order to protect her heart. It’s until said past comes back to haunt her that she will have to rely on Remy more than ever. <br /><br />As a former detective and current private investigator, Remington “Remy” Sterling has helped uncovered many cases throughout his career. But Raven Walsh has proven to be a mystery he can’t seem to solve. Being co-owner of The Back Door bar, Remy spends a lot of time running the business alongside his manager, Raven. Their instant connection is magnetic and it is easy to be around her. Yet, it’s his attraction towards her that has made it difficult to get Raven out of his head. He knows that she isn’t ready for more than she can give him, so when the lines are crossed, a mutual friends-with-benefits arrangement is in place. Until her past comes knocking, putting Raven in danger that Remy vows to keep her safe no matter what, including her heart. <br /><br />I thoroughly enjoyed reading <i>Just One More Moment,</i> this steamy and suspenseful romance will keep you at the edge of your seat. Remy is ready to use what he’s experienced in his career in order to protect the woman he is falling in love with. After all, going through a similar loss himself has made him even more protective of her. Raven is not about to let her past hurt her loved ones, even if it means sacrificing her growing feelings for Remy. In the end, they both will have to rely on each other if they want to have a chance at a real relationship. Told in dual POV, expect the unexpected and an ending worth for their story. I would highly recommend it and I cannot wait to read the next books in the series! :) <br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>***I received an advanced copy from the publisher.

Be ready to fall in love with this romance between a hockey player and a district attorney that will leave you wanting for more! <br /><br />Having grown up among hockey legends makes Stone Richards want to make his own mark in the sport. He has no time to focus on other things, until he meets Ryleigh Beckett. With her brother marrying into his family, Stone knows that if things go south it would only cause chaos within the family. But her no non-sense and feisty personality is what keeps pulling her in his head. She is all Stone can think about and he is willing to do anything in order to convince her to give them a shot. Little does he know how difficult maintaining a long distance relationship with their busy schedules is going to be. Love is said to conquer it all, but will for them? <br /><br />For Ryleigh Beckett being the daughter of a famous actor and growing up in Hollywood, she is aware of what it means to be in the spotlight. So when she got her law degree and made the move to Chicago to become a district attorney, it gave her the chance to start a new life. Being close to her family also means that Ryleigh gets to spend a lot of time at Hollywood events. Events that guys used her to attend, so with her walls build up, she decided to focus on her career and nothing else, not expecting to meet Stone Richards. He is nothing she’s ever encounter, he doesn’t give up easily, kind and set on making her his. Making her wonder what their relationship could be like if she’d only let her walls down. <br /><br />I absolutely loved reading <i>Meant for Stone</i>, I loved the characters dynamic from the beginning and it only got better throughout the book. There are a lot of steamy moments and swoon-worthy ones too. Stone is a go-getter, determined to go after what he wants. On the other hand, Ryleigh is bold and outspoken, perfect for a district attorney. She is the best at what she does and work has become her life. But when life brings them together, they have to learn to compromise in order to give them a shot at a relationship. All in all, I would highly recommend checking out this book. With the way the book ended, I cannot wait to read what happens next in the series! :) <br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>***I received an advanced copy from the publisher.

Linde’s newest duet will leave you rooting for the characters until the very end! <br /><br />Harley Wright’s life has been nothing if not complicated ever since finding out a twisted family secret that her dad hid from them growing up. It’s her along with her other siblings that were their dad’s dirty little secret as he hid them from his real family. So the anger and resentment towards him runs deep. Relocating to Lubbock, Texas from Seattle, Washington has made a difference in her life. Harley can finally spend some time with her extended family. The Wrights are royalty in town and she is about to attend Texas Tech University in hopes to get into a good law school. But life changes the course of her life the minute she meets Chase Sinclair. He is everything she wants, but can’t have. For he belongs to the enemy family her own family hates. Yet, there is a pull towards him that she can’t deny and no matter how much distance they put between them, she can’t help but to fall in love with him. <br /><br />Chase Sinclair has everything he could ever want, he has a prominent law firm and his name is well-known in town. But his relationship with his dad and the family rivalry between the Wrights is not the best. Not when his best friend and ex-girlfriend is about to marry into that family. He has never been more hated and his presence along is not wanted in the Wright’s circles. Chase should have declined attending the wedding, but not only does it bring him closure, it also gives him a chance to meet Harley. She is different and they clicked right away. Chase knows that he should walk away from her, he can’t get his heart broken again. Yet, the longer they are together, the harder it becomes to let her go. <br /><br />I throughly enjoyed reading <i>Wright Kind of Trouble</i>, we have two characters who are in different stages in their lives, but they have such undeniable chemistry. Harley understands Chase and he finds her refreshing to be around. They know the chaos that it would cause if their families were to find out that are together, not only is he part of the enemy family, but also ten years older than her. But just as they are ready to show off their relationship, life throws them another curveball that will test their relationship once again. I cannot wait to read what happens next in the duet, would highly recommend checking out this book as well as any other from the author. You will not regret it! :) <br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>***I received an advanced copy from the publisher.

Filled with secrets and betrayal to keep you hooked from beginning to end. <br /><br />Having grown up among the wealthy elite, Ronan Wolf, is used to getting what he wants. Until he first laid eyes on Brooklyn Chambers, that his life starts to take a different turn. Not only is Ronan a professor, but Brooklyn also happens to be a student at the university he teaches. Though their relationship goes way back as their two families have had a feud with one another for many years. It only took one night together to threaten Ronan's career and for the feud to start unraveling before their eyes. But as he slowly begins to trust in Brooklyn, the harder it becomes to let her go. He has to make the tough decision in order to keep her safe no matter the cost. Brooklyn has always been attracted to Ronan, he is an enigma that keeps pulling her in. She is aware of how their relationship will be frowned upon by everyone around them and Brooklyn is ready to stand up for herself, no matter the consequences. She slowly begins to trust in the only person who has stood up for her and realizes that she could end up getting her heart broken in the end. <br /><br />I really enjoyed reading <i>Come Here and Kiss me,</i> the characters were raw and their relationship was magnetic. It’s evident of how much they like each other from the very beginning, then they are forced to face their pasts and those around them. They don’t quite trust each other and it takes them time to slowly rely on one another. Ronan becomes protective over Brooklyn while she starts to feel free around him. There are obstacles that they need to face and they are able to overcome them in the end. All in all, the story was solid and I would recommend checking it out if you like the enemies-to-lovers trope. :) <br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>***I received an advanced copy from the publisher.

All during my pregnancy with her I read. I only wanted to read romance novels and I read everything I could get my hands on. I would read a book a day — sometimes two. In January I was staying up late with her and just thinking of all these stories. They came to me constantly. I finally sat down and just started writing. I always wanted to do it so I figured, why not? <br /><br />I never thought I would reach this point of success to be honest. It’s insane to me that I have connected with so many readers. <br /><br />And I love each and every one of them for all of their support. I’ll be honest, some days are HARD. I have my littles during the day and I write at night. Some days are just simply exhausting and then I hear from a reader and it motivates me to push through and keep writing. I couldn’t be more grateful for this wonderful career.

With Roman at the head, there are threats everywhere and Aldo has become his security, swearing to protect him no matter what. While business is booming at The Maple, a hotel and casino, their loves lives not so much. With the dangers that come with their jobs, it’s easy not to get attached. At least that’s what Aldo thought, until he met Violet Nelson. <br /><br />Applying for the over-the-top casino/hotel was a gamble for Violet, especially after the recent turn of events in her life. With the hopes of starting new, she set off to Niagara Falls, not expecting for her life to completely change forever. Meeting the enigmatic Aldo takes her by surprise, he shows her a different side of him that not everyone gets to see. Not only is he is the enforcer and loyal friend to Roman, but also sweet and caring towards her. Their connection is undeniable, until a turn of events threatens their chance at a relationship. <br /><br />I absolutely loved reading <i>Aldo</i>, the story had me hooked and very much at the edge of my seat. Aldo has officially met his match, Violet is feisty and ready to fight back. It’s evident that both of the characters have been through a lot, but they are willing to do whatever it takes to be with each other. The secondary characters made the story that much more enjoyable to read. It’s really shows how tight Aldo is with Roman and his brother, Luca. The ending was perfect for them, I cannot wait to read Roman’s story next.

As second book in the Knoxville Coyotes Series, the story is about second chances and new beginnings, that will leave you rooting for the characters until the very end! <br /><br />At the beginning of the book, we are introduced to West Crawford, a football player who has just scored the winning touchdown at the Super Bowl. As the rookie playing for the Knoxville Coyotes, West’s life is about change, he only wishes his ex was there to celebrate a milestone in his football career. It’s been five months since he last saw Nova Martin, it was the day she left him to go back to Paris for a family emergency and long distance ended what they had. But to his surprise, Nova shows up at the game ready to celebrate him one last time before heading back to Paris for good. Yet, what started off as their last night together, truly ended up turning West’s life upside down. He has been given a second chance to make things right with Nova and he won’t stop until he convinces her to give their relationship another shot. <br /><br />For Nova Jeanne Martin her life has been full of ups and downs ever since a family emergency took her back to her family in Paris. It broke her heart to leave West behind, but with his career taking off being in long distance relationship wasn’t going to work. They both deserved a chance to make great things, but Nova hasn’t stopped thinking about West since the last time she saw him five months ago. Attending the Super Bowl was a last minute decision that would ultimately chance the course of her life forever. With West rapid fame, he has women thrown at him all the time and it’s hard for Nova to see that. Yet, another reason a long distance relationship can’t work between them, but she is pregnant with his baby. It could either bring them closer or push them further apart. <br /><br />I truly enjoyed reading <i>Surprised and Sacked</i>, the chemistry between the characters was undeniable and the story had me hooked from beginning to end. We have two career-oriented people who are about to face parenthood and they go through ups and downs in order to get their happily-ever-after. I really loved reading the relationship between Nova and her family, they all had her back no matter what and accepted West in the process as well. Though he quickly proved himself to be the man that Nova can rely on and her family sees that. West has a solid friend group that kept me entertained. All in all, the ending was sweet and prefect for their story. I would highly recommend checking out this book, I cannot wait to read the rest of the series! :) <br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>***I received an advanced copy from the publisher.

If she was single and childless by the age of thirty, he’d step in and be her baby daddy and fulfill her dream of having a child. <br /><br />Now, after a bitter divorce that has left her guarding her heart, and wanting only one thing, Skye is ready to take Tripp up on his promise.

Skye is even more beautiful than he remembers, and the chemistry between them is hotter than ever, but while she gives him free reign with her body, she’s made it clear her heart is off limits. <br /><br />Now, with a second chance within his grasp, Tripp is prepared to do whatever it takes to win the woman he loves and give them both the family they’ve always craved. <div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/191062354-just-a-little-promise" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="41" data-original-width="130" height="41" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyHg-gWCm8x89tO20LeZHPLqUzhvVfwqwaTJJf3BKtHzXkoPpzPYPsciKEveyXxm3KWyu5fucgiTXFovGOlU8xt-l5AyxjFkfzUVtjFRZ4yTjO4L8y1PpumeFpCt18yxbQmLjEuceYjeQsUGB6Q77XBfheVrkLpl-3S-q-i5yqvNdyGet3Jbl2xhUTVT4/s1600/goodreads.png" width="130" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://www.carlyphillips.com/JALPKindle " target="_blank">Kindle,</a> <a href="https://www.carlyphillips.com/JALPApple " target="_blank">Apple</a>, <a href="https://www.carlyphillips.com/JALPNook " target="_blank">Nook</a>, <a href="https://www.carlyphillips.com/JALPKobo " target="_blank">Kobo</a>, <a href="https://www.carlyphillips.com/JALPGoogleplay " target="_blank">Google Play</a>, <a href="https://www.carlyphillips.com/JALPAmzPrint " target="_blank">Amazon Print</a>, <a href="https://www.carlyphillips.com/JALPBNPrint" target="_blank">B&N Print</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoxUiyDIBvcR9YBXfI7u4FBK8AyhiYVY3zZcZx_bnnYsaafAFSfWqWK6ye5qhZsvdjo7d3J72yWe8xvITk_nSBOFB9lL-HzCeEqhPMoh-32H0u9apCwPy2DAmwvO7Gtz0rGQvX3ObfA13Agf3Twy2rdPWpUDRywdsL6EYojJHqQTrXQrlVNpYdsO_MBeU/s1080/PR_Trope_Just%20a%20Little%20Promise_Carly%20Phillips%20&%20Erika%20Wilde.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoxUiyDIBvcR9YBXfI7u4FBK8AyhiYVY3zZcZx_bnnYsaafAFSfWqWK6ye5qhZsvdjo7d3J72yWe8xvITk_nSBOFB9lL-HzCeEqhPMoh-32H0u9apCwPy2DAmwvO7Gtz0rGQvX3ObfA13Agf3Twy2rdPWpUDRywdsL6EYojJHqQTrXQrlVNpYdsO_MBeU/w400-h400/PR_Trope_Just%20a%20Little%20Promise_Carly%20Phillips%20&%20Erika%20Wilde.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><b>My Review:</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>As the third book in the <i>Dare Crossover Series</i>, Phillips and Wilde deliver a second chance romance in <i>Just a Little Promise.</i> This steamy story is about new beginnings that will leave you wanting for more! <br /><br />At the beginning of the book we are introduced to Skye Abbott, who has recently gone through a tremendous divorce. Leaving her vulnerable and making it hard to trust again. But it’s been months since she moved to New York from Boston and Skye has managed to rebuild her confidence while being in a good mental head space. As the assistant event coordinator at the Meridian Hotel, Skye has worked really hard to start over and move into the apartment/area that she can finally feel save in. <br /><br />Yet, the clock is ticking and there is something that Skye has always wanted more than anything, to be a mother. It did not work with her ex, but she is willing to be a single mother. Until she runs into Tripp Daniels, the man who broke her heart with his inability to to be more than friends with benefits. Reminding Skye of the promise that he made to her all those year ago, that if she was still childless and single by the age of thirty, he’ll give her the baby that she’s always dream of having. Skye is aware that she can’t get emotionally attached to Tripp this time around, but he is determined to win her over again no matter what. <br /><br />At thirty-six, Tripp has managed to open a family practice with two of his friends/business partners. His dream and hard work to get into pediatrics has paid off. Yet, no matter how successful he is, his biggest regret was to let Skye go all those years ago. Bumping into her again felt like fate and he’s been given a second chance to make things right with her. But she has made it clear that there can’t be anything more between them and Tripp will work hard to give them a chance. Little do they know that their lives are about to change forever. <br /><br />I throughly enjoyed reading <i>Just a Little Promise</i>, the chemistry is off the charts between Skye and Tripp. Though they have history, they are able to pick up where they left off right away. Only this time around the tables have turned and Skye doesn’t want to give Tripp her heart. So it’s on Tripp to win her over once again and prove that he is worthy of a second chance. But it won’t be easy and they’ll have unite in order to be together. I loved the ending and how the authors gives us a glimpse of the next book in the series. I cannot wait to read it, I would highly recommend checking out this book/series as well. :) <br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>***I received an advanced copy from the publisher.

Ever since he destroyed the trust of the only woman he’s ever loved, Damon has been plagued with thoughts of how he ended things with her. Everything good in his life is gone, there is no control only chaos surrounding him. But just when Damon thought that everything was over, he is given a second chance to make things right. And this time around, he will not stop until he gets Sophia to forgive him and give them another shot. He will soon have to face his demons and close the chapter of his past for good. </div><div><br /></div><div>Sophia Morelli has always been the wild child and she takes pride for being herself. She has been working really hard to make a name for herself in the fashion world and won’t let the pain that she’s been feeling ever since Damon walked away from her distract her from her future. Needless to say, there will always be connection between them and a part of her will always love him. Yet, getting her to forgive him will not be easy. Sophia has her own past to overcome and she might discover new things in the process to finally heal and finally start her new life. <br /><br />All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed reading <i>Own</i>. Snow did a great job bringing everyone together for the final book in the trilogy. I like how Sophia stands up for herself and won’t back down a fight. She is perfect for Damon and as they go through their separate paths, they always seem to come back together. Damon thinking that he is not good for Sophia decides to walk away, but that doesn’t long when he is forced to face why she is the one meant for him. Damon will not give up until he makes Sophia his for good. If you love steamy suspenseful romances, then I would highly recommend checking out this trilogy. You will not regret it! :) <br /><i><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />***I received an advanced copy from the publisher.

The magic in her blood that lets her stitch emotions and memories into fabric is the same magic that will eventually kill her. Determined to spend the little time she has left guaranteeing a better life for her family, Niamh jumps at the chance to design the wardrobe for a royal wedding in the neighboring kingdom of Avaland. <br /><br />But Avaland is far from the fairytale that she imagined. While young nobles attend candlelit balls and elegant garden parties, unrest brews amid the working class. The groom himself, Kit Carmine, is prickly, abrasive, and begrudgingly being dragged to the altar as a political pawn. But when Niamh and Kit grow closer, an unlikely friendship blossoms into something more—until an anonymous columnist starts buzzing about their chemistry, promising to leave them alone only if Niamh helps to uncover the royal family’s secrets. The rot at the heart of Avaland runs deep, but exposing it could risk a future she never let herself dream of, and a love she never thought possible. <br /><br />Transporting readers to a Regency England-inspired fantasy world, A Fragile Enchantment is a sweeping romance threaded with intrigue, unforgettable characters, and a love story for the ages.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/127305900-a-fragile-enchantment" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="41" data-original-width="130" height="41" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikRX0hDm2MXVooEvG7gg46R9ng-osPvRfbhY_kpVrFPQso-NIwJCixkY6c7v9BD6km52aRJ-nECAo_eIihEf31W2-bYsmqWUgiy9lliFGPbw_aEQ_zhc2124ROpOhpyZmh0mDE815CtydGun1RvMuGoq03ZlWtozy7gPh3K2cGQT79M5xODT_4PBKzdUc/s1600/goodreads.png" width="130" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG0u0KKR2pHPjXFoI6xveXpAfTC_TZfufRiqS2oNyVXygqclwIa4XYn-80QM2ZY8obdqtUB_dhv7mS5K5dUtreoxjL_0FXrLA1jUxJZpQUh_o5vxmlAduaT6RfppLr1h_PI8HORBo5UYFFXT_Q_91V0vd-lrjd3QsrQu_0oFYbjRQV1tLriVu4rpbc8M0/s2475/Emily%20Wilde's%20Map%20of%20the%20Otherlands%20%20Heather%20Fawcett.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2475" data-original-width="1650" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG0u0KKR2pHPjXFoI6xveXpAfTC_TZfufRiqS2oNyVXygqclwIa4XYn-80QM2ZY8obdqtUB_dhv7mS5K5dUtreoxjL_0FXrLA1jUxJZpQUh_o5vxmlAduaT6RfppLr1h_PI8HORBo5UYFFXT_Q_91V0vd-lrjd3QsrQu_0oFYbjRQV1tLriVu4rpbc8M0/w266-h400/Emily%20Wilde's%20Map%20of%20the%20Otherlands%20%20Heather%20Fawcett.jpeg" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><p style="color: #171311; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands by Heather Fawcett</span></i></b></p><p style="color: #171311; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Release Date: </b>January 16, 2024</div><br />When mysterious faeries from other realms appear at her university, curmudgeonly professor Emily Wilde must uncover their secrets before it’s too late in this heartwarming, enchanting second installment of the Emily Wilde series.<br /> <br />Emily Wilde is a genius scholar of faerie folklore—she just wrote the world’s first comprehensive of encylopaedia of faeries. She’s learned many of the secrets of the Hidden Folk on her adventures . . . and also from her fellow scholar and former rival, Wendell Bambleby.<br /> <br />Because Bambleby is more than infuriatingly charming. He’s an exiled faerie king on the run from his murderous mother, and in search of a door back to his realm. So despite Emily’s feelings for Bambleby, she’s not ready to accept his proposal of marriage. Loving one of the Fair Folk comes with secrets and danger.<br /> <br />And she also has a new project to focus a map of the realms of faerie. While she is preparing her research, Bambleby lands her in trouble yet again, when assassins sent by Bambleby’s mother invade Cambridge. Now Bambleby and Emily are on another adventure, this time to the picturesque Austrian Alps, where Emily believes they may find the door to Bambley’s realm, and the key to freeing him from his family’s dark plans.<br /> <br />But with new relationships for the prickly Emily to navigate and dangerous Folk lurking in every forest and hollow, Emily must unravel the mysterious workings of faerie doors, and of her own heart.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/134119076-emily-wilde-s-map-of-the-otherlands" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="41" data-original-width="130" height="41" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikRX0hDm2MXVooEvG7gg46R9ng-osPvRfbhY_kpVrFPQso-NIwJCixkY6c7v9BD6km52aRJ-nECAo_eIihEf31W2-bYsmqWUgiy9lliFGPbw_aEQ_zhc2124ROpOhpyZmh0mDE815CtydGun1RvMuGoq03ZlWtozy7gPh3K2cGQT79M5xODT_4PBKzdUc/s1600/goodreads.png" width="130" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1wEdyyDSyKLws30ExaMpOTtKJG3Q3WyP5C-4KdNVYi33Y0X6u3iJIfVZcOgqOGKgopRYi_gP2Qb6nr1CXLmVW46S6CpZbtkq6lKIsxDauxGXF7c6O2Qil7bDmKRpLL2D36D8lZzs5wU-5W2HBgL2IO0N1o8zTYkRyQqi7sHMREGC5vO8Qo2TROGNJJTc/s890/%20The%20Getaway%20List%20Emma%20Lord.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="890" data-original-width="573" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1wEdyyDSyKLws30ExaMpOTtKJG3Q3WyP5C-4KdNVYi33Y0X6u3iJIfVZcOgqOGKgopRYi_gP2Qb6nr1CXLmVW46S6CpZbtkq6lKIsxDauxGXF7c6O2Qil7bDmKRpLL2D36D8lZzs5wU-5W2HBgL2IO0N1o8zTYkRyQqi7sHMREGC5vO8Qo2TROGNJJTc/w258-h400/%20The%20Getaway%20List%20Emma%20Lord.jpeg" width="258" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

The solution? Pack her bags and move to New York for the summer, where her childhood best friend Tom and co-creator of The Getaway List ― a list of all the adventures they’ve wanted to do together since he moved away ― will hopefully help her get in touch with her old adventurous self, and pave the road to a new future.<br /><br />Riley isn’t sure what to expect from Tom, who has been distant since his famous mom’s scriptwriting career pulled him away. But when Riley arrives in the city, their reconnection is as effortless as it was when they were young―except with one, unexpected complication that will pull Riley’s feelings in a direction she didn’t know they could take. As she, Tom, and their newfound friends work their way through the delightfully chaotic items on The Getaway List, Riley learns that sometimes the biggest adventure is not one you take, but one you feel in your heart.<br /><br />Inescapably romantic and brimming with Emma Lord’s signature cheer, The Getaway List is an uplifting and romantic read that will settle into your heart and never leave.<p style="color: #171311; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span face=""Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(79, 79, 77); color: #4f4f4d; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;"><br /></span></p><p style="color: #171311; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/126919196-the-getaway-list" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="41" data-original-width="130" height="41" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikRX0hDm2MXVooEvG7gg46R9ng-osPvRfbhY_kpVrFPQso-NIwJCixkY6c7v9BD6km52aRJ-nECAo_eIihEf31W2-bYsmqWUgiy9lliFGPbw_aEQ_zhc2124ROpOhpyZmh0mDE815CtydGun1RvMuGoq03ZlWtozy7gPh3K2cGQT79M5xODT_4PBKzdUc/s1600/goodreads.png" width="130" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4kCQIBVWAxzNn94F5gCn9U3n36ukJcLyOmdxn6FhzuCG4X1bCe1cLII9mtQxqLFyOplcF8EeVu44V3BmsMyUkYjVc7VPeemDJx-8ggO3SkFiKPeBG2nBMVzWXvZ3AEjZpg2RWzMWfM0SQgAIHDENNEvhLwaEzVDBLBHK_m5PuiS64o_LFDVb8i1y82l4/s2560/California%20Dreaming%20%20Bella%20Andre%20,%20%20Nicky%20Arden.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2560" data-original-width="1707" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4kCQIBVWAxzNn94F5gCn9U3n36ukJcLyOmdxn6FhzuCG4X1bCe1cLII9mtQxqLFyOplcF8EeVu44V3BmsMyUkYjVc7VPeemDJx-8ggO3SkFiKPeBG2nBMVzWXvZ3AEjZpg2RWzMWfM0SQgAIHDENNEvhLwaEzVDBLBHK_m5PuiS64o_LFDVb8i1y82l4/w266-h400/California%20Dreaming%20%20Bella%20Andre%20,%20%20Nicky%20Arden.jpeg" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p style="color: #171311; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><i>California Dreaming by Bella Andre and Nicky Arden</i></span></b></p><p style="color: #171311; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Release Date:</b> February 1, 2024</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Meet the Davenport family! Six brothers and sisters who call picturesque Carmel-by-the-Sea home. Successful, brilliant, and passionate, the only thing they all still need is the perfect partner in love and life. <br /><br />Hotshot movie star Archer Davenport has never met a stunt he couldn’t ace, a challenge he couldn’t overcome, or a woman he couldn’t have. When he breaks his leg during a dangerous stunt, the production company insists on hiring a live-in caretaker for him. He refuses the help…until he meets Tessa Taylor. She’s not only caring and beautiful, she’s also as tough on him as a drill sergeant.<br /><br /> Tessa knows all about confident men. She used to be married to one and that didn’t go well. Her only solace is her painting, even if she has no talent, as her late husband always claimed. Her biggest problem on this job, however, is that sexy, magnetic Archer makes her toes curl with desire every time he’s near. She does everything she can to try to remain professional. But it gets harder and harder every day as she starts to fall for him—and for his amazing family—even though she knows she’ll have to leave him for her next client as soon as he’s fully recovered. <br /><br />Arch, however, has no plans to let Tessa disappear once his leg is fully recovered. In fact, as the sparks between them grow hotter and hotter, he’s determined to show Tessa that she’s not only the most incredible and loving woman he’s ever known, she’s also the most talented.<br /><br />THE DAVENPORTS Series<br />California Dreaming<br />California Waves<br />California Sunsets<br />*** More Davenports are coming soon! ***</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/200419909-california-dreaming" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="41" data-original-width="130" height="41" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikRX0hDm2MXVooEvG7gg46R9ng-osPvRfbhY_kpVrFPQso-NIwJCixkY6c7v9BD6km52aRJ-nECAo_eIihEf31W2-bYsmqWUgiy9lliFGPbw_aEQ_zhc2124ROpOhpyZmh0mDE815CtydGun1RvMuGoq03ZlWtozy7gPh3K2cGQT79M5xODT_4PBKzdUc/s1600/goodreads.png" width="130" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW0nn0gK95WHElGsrdtJbz_bM_wlE2IHZkKcD4ljyMPCbygHQqYpOb0l8RUEV05tnMfuGhw-xlNmpvXiFbIUgq3tS3UqcQIVwY4FmPDHr95K06ulOwTOR3g3CGtwlrBsMa0cRKGdn34RYRgVBNM7Npuwpr11rQg2XknlcTKrWjBLQwKYxw8zaleaJZ8Zo/s2113/A%20Short%20Walk%20Through%20a%20Wide%20World%20%20Douglas%20Westerbeke.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2113" data-original-width="1399" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW0nn0gK95WHElGsrdtJbz_bM_wlE2IHZkKcD4ljyMPCbygHQqYpOb0l8RUEV05tnMfuGhw-xlNmpvXiFbIUgq3tS3UqcQIVwY4FmPDHr95K06ulOwTOR3g3CGtwlrBsMa0cRKGdn34RYRgVBNM7Npuwpr11rQg2XknlcTKrWjBLQwKYxw8zaleaJZ8Zo/w265-h400/A%20Short%20Walk%20Through%20a%20Wide%20World%20%20Douglas%20Westerbeke.jpeg" width="265" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><p style="color: #171311; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Short Walk Through a Wide World by Douglas Westerbeke</i></b></span></p><p style="color: #171311; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="color: #171311; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><b>Release Date: </b>April 9, 2024</p><p style="color: #171311; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><br /></p>The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue meets Life of Pi in this dazzlingly epic debut that charts the incredible, adventurous life of one woman as she journeys the globe trying to outrun a mysterious curse that will destroy her if she stops moving.<br /><br />Paris, 1885: Aubry Tourvel, a spoiled and stubborn nine-year-old girl, comes across a wooden puzzle ball on her walk home from school. She tosses it over the fence, only to find it in her backpack that evening. Days later, at the family dinner table, she starts to bleed to death.<br /><br />When medical treatment only makes her worse, she flees to the outskirts of the city, where she realizes that it is this very act of movement that keeps her alive. So begins her lifelong journey on the run from her condition, which won’t allow her to stay anywhere for longer than a few days nor return to a place where she’s already been.<br /><br />From the scorched dunes of the Calashino Sand Sea to the snow-packed peaks of the Himalayas; from a bottomless well in a Parisian courtyard, to the shelves of an infinite underground library, we follow Aubry as she learns what it takes to survive and ultimately, to truly live. But the longer Aubry wanders and the more desperate she is to share her life with others, the clearer it becomes that the world she travels through may not be quite the same as everyone else’s...<br /><br />Fiercely independent and hopeful, yet full of longing, Aubry Tourvel is an unforgettable character fighting her way through a world of wonders to find a place she can call home. A spellbinding and inspiring story about discovering meaning in a life that seems otherwise impossible, A Short Walk Through a Wide World reminds us that it’s not the destination, but rather the journey—no matter how long it lasts—that makes us who we are.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/176443045-a-short-walk-through-a-wide-world" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="41" data-original-width="130" height="41" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikRX0hDm2MXVooEvG7gg46R9ng-osPvRfbhY_kpVrFPQso-NIwJCixkY6c7v9BD6km52aRJ-nECAo_eIihEf31W2-bYsmqWUgiy9lliFGPbw_aEQ_zhc2124ROpOhpyZmh0mDE815CtydGun1RvMuGoq03ZlWtozy7gPh3K2cGQT79M5xODT_4PBKzdUc/s1600/goodreads.png" width="130" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWUTZ1HzcJJsEnWNjTawn5j8oko7pWwMyVfQBWDCxHlfxJHWmTsUK2sYSYntGJ9T6nhF3JrPHueAt7BxUljfAsMSLMlyV3klfDSJktjIEFsNgfp89ooqFVDUTfGdgyWUa8aRWQw3jPKgZn444TwYWk1ocr8rhmn-W32w1NF9Sb17YuG-gqZcjUAncnIGY/s522/Mine%20to%20Keep%20%20Natasha%20Madison.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="522" data-original-width="348" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWUTZ1HzcJJsEnWNjTawn5j8oko7pWwMyVfQBWDCxHlfxJHWmTsUK2sYSYntGJ9T6nhF3JrPHueAt7BxUljfAsMSLMlyV3klfDSJktjIEFsNgfp89ooqFVDUTfGdgyWUa8aRWQw3jPKgZn444TwYWk1ocr8rhmn-W32w1NF9Sb17YuG-gqZcjUAncnIGY/w266-h400/Mine%20to%20Keep%20%20Natasha%20Madison.jpeg" width="266" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><p style="color: #171311; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i>Mine to Keep by Natasha Madison</i></b></span></p><p style="color: #171311; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Release Date: </b>January 5, 2024</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><b>Grace </b><br /><br />It wasn’t hard for me to walk away from my family without looking back—the time had come for me to live for myself.<br />New city.

He has a plan. Together they’ll take a leap of faith.</b><br /><br />Ren has never held an iPhone, googled the answer to a question, or followed a crush on social media. What she has done: read a book or two, or three (okay, hundreds). Taught herself to paint. Built a working wind power system from scratch. But for all the books she’s read, Ren has never found one that’s taught a woman raised on a homestead and off the grid for most of her twenty-two years how to live in the real world. So when she finally achieves her lifelong dream of attending Corona College, it feels like her life is finally beginning.<br /><br />Fitz has the rest of his life mapped out: graduate from Corona at the top of his class, get his criminal record wiped clean, and pass himself off as the rich, handsome player everyone thinks he is. He’s a few months short from checking off step one of his plans when Ren Gylden, with her cascading blonde hair and encyclopedic brain, crashes into his life, and for the first time Fitz’s plan is in jeopardy.<br /><br />But a simple assignment in their immunology seminar changes the course of both their lives, and suddenly they’re thrown out of the frying pan and into the fire on a road trip that will lead them in the most unexpected directions. Out on the open road, the world somehow shifts, and the unlikely pair realize that, maybe, the key to the dreams they've both been chasing have been sitting next to them the whole time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Cast and Kristin Cast return with a new duology set in a dark and magickal world filled with incredible danger and irresistible romance.</b><br /><br />Wren Nightingale isn't supposed to have any powers. Born of magickal parents but not under a moon sign, she was destined for life as a Mundane—right up until she starts glowing on her eighteenth birthday. In a heartbeat, Wren's life is turned upside down, and she's suddenly leaving her home for the mystical Academia de la Luna—a secret magickal school on a hidden island off the Seattle coast.<br /><br />Lee Young has always known about his future at the Academia. He has one goal: pass the trials, impress the Moon Council, and uphold his family's reputation. But he wasn't expecting to be attending alongside the girl he's been secretly in love with for as long as he can remember.<br /><br />As Wren and Lee are thrown into the Academie's gruelling trials, they quickly learn there's something different--and dangerous--about the school this year. Wren will have to navigate a web of secrets, prophecies--and murder. And Lee will have to decide who to protect--his family's legacy, or the girl he loves.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/127306015-draw-down-the-moon" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="41" data-original-width="130" height="41" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikRX0hDm2MXVooEvG7gg46R9ng-osPvRfbhY_kpVrFPQso-NIwJCixkY6c7v9BD6km52aRJ-nECAo_eIihEf31W2-bYsmqWUgiy9lliFGPbw_aEQ_zhc2124ROpOhpyZmh0mDE815CtydGun1RvMuGoq03ZlWtozy7gPh3K2cGQT79M5xODT_4PBKzdUc/s1600/goodreads.png" width="130" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">📖 And that concludes my list of the books that I cannot wait to read!

Now he’s sidelined with an injury and I’m his new nurse.</b><br /><br />The first time I met Ash Kelly, he stripped off his jersey and gave it to a little girl in the crowd, charming an arena full of fans in the process. Then he tossed me a puck and asked for my number. I was with my jerk ex-boyfriend, who was less than impressed with the whole thing.<br /><br />The second time he crashes into my life it’s as my patient. There’s no way he should remember me, but he does. Being Ash’s nurse is torture. He’s stubborn and frustrating, and he won’t stop flirting with me now that he knows I’m single. He’s even recruited the entire hospital to help him win me over. And it’s working.<br /><br />The more time I spend taking care of him, the more he breaks down my defenses. He’s kind and considerate, and he makes my heart race.<br /><br />But I’ve sworn off dating and getting involved with a charming, handsome hockey player like Ash feels like a terrible idea. We go our separate ways again, despite our undeniable connection.<br /><br />I should have known it wouldn’t be the last time. For some reason, the universe keeps throwing us together.<br /><br />I’m finally ready to give him a chance, but there’s one little problem. My ex-boyfriend just got a new job as the assistant GM of the Wildcats. And the only thing he wants more than me is to screw over the man I’m falling for.<br /><br />In Your Wildest Dreams is a hockey romance with a cocky, cinnamon roll hero, spice, banter, and a happily ever after.

With the arena full of adoring fans, there is something about him that she can’t let go. But when her ex-boyfriend sees the exchange between them, he is furious with her and takes her home. Not knowing if Bridget is going to see Ash again, she focuses on her studies and job as a nurse. Little does she know that her VIP patient would end up being Ash Kelly. Now he’s discovered that she is single, Ash is set on to charm her to no end. He wants her, but she isn’t sure if she is willing to put her heart on the line again. <br /><br />Ash Kelly has worked really hard to get to where he is in life, he has his team and any woman he could possibly want. But as he looks at his fellow teammates, they’ve all seem to found the one expect for him. He gives his all every time, yet as he looks around the stadium like the rest of his teammates look for their loved one, Ash sees a particular woman that has caught his attention. She isn’t looking at anything in particular, as her boyfriend is clearly ignoring her. Ash quickly finds himself skating towards her and asking her for her number. She is surprised and her boyfriend is mad. It hasn’t been a day since he hasn’t stopped thinking about her. It would be fate to bring them together the minute he ends up at the hospital and she walks in as his nurse. Ash is not about to give up on her this time around and he sets to win her over no matter the cost. But just as he was making progress, an obstacle gets thrown his way and won’t stop until he separates Ash and Bridget for good. <br /><br />I thoroughly enjoyed reading <i>In Your Wildest Dreams</i>, it was charming and swoon worthy. It’s evident that both of the characters have great chemistry and it just keep evolving the longer they get to know each other. But soon they have to make big decisions when it comes to giving their relationship a chance. They have a great support system in their friends/teammates and they are able to face anything with them by the side. I loved Ash, he was sweet and protective of Bridget. He wants her in his life and he is willing to give up anything for her. On the other hand, Bridget really stands up for herself and for those around her. They are perfect for each other and the sweet ending shows us that. I would highly recommend checking it out, I cannot wait to read more form the author in the future! :) <br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>***I received an advanced copy from the publisher.

Needless to say, the author delivers an emotional romance about second chances and new beginnings in <i>My Darling Bride</i>! <br /><br />Emmaline “Emmy” Darling never imagine that she would be on the run from her now ex-boyfriend. But after the events that took place at their Las Vegas hotel, Emmy suddenly finds herself driving miles away to an Arizona hotel, hoping along the way that Kian would leave her alone. But just when she thought that he’d found her, another man steps out of a luxurious Lamborghini, exuding confidence and wealth. Reminding Emmy of the financial stability that she longs to have. <br /><br />It would take bumping into the handsome stranger to change her life forever. Now she is on the run again, this time she is speeding away with his Lamborghini. A very expensive mistake that would follow her home, little does she know that the owner of said car would have other plans for her. A marriage arrangement between them, only Emmy would soon start to develop feelings for the football player that could end up costing her heart. <br /><br />For New York Pythons’ famous football player, Graham Harlan, he is used to be in the spotlight surrounded by wealth and beautiful women. But it was a near-death experience on the field that has left him in chaos. There are ups and downs to playing football and he knows that. Yet, Graham fears of what his future would look like without playing the sport that he loves so much. With the hopes of finding answers and getting away from the city, he drives his Lamborghini to Arizona. Only for it to get stolen and wrecked by a beautiful woman he met at his hotel. <br /><br />Feeling shocked and devastated, Graham is set to make her pay no matter what. To add to his stress, he needs to secure the family inheritance, and needs to get married fast. The only things is that he doesn’t have anyone he trusts to pretend to be his wife for a short time. Until his younger brother tells him about the beauty that works at his local bookstore, Emmaline Darling, and Graham immediately realizes who she is. Emmy owes him and he won’t take a no as an answer. Little does he know just how much having her around would change him in the process. Now he has to find a way to keep her for good, if that’s the last thing he does. <br /><br />I absolutely loved reading <i>My Darling Bride</i>, the main characters had so much chemistry and the secondary characters added the humor that had me reading nonstop until the very end. It’s evident that both of the characters have been through so much already and having a lot in common made it easier for them to lean on each other. The heroine is a relatable bookworm who unexpectedly finds her forever and the football player is ready to support her no matter what. The ending was so sweet and perfect for them.

This steamy romance will leave you wanting for more! <br /><br />In her town, Raia Callaway has always been second best compared to her older brother, the football player and hometown hero. She has worked really hard to become a professional soccer player outside her home, until her life changes when her boyfriend of ten years brakes up with her before a game. A game that she would end up losing and getting hurt. Her dreams of playing in Europe quickly diminish and Raia finds herself going back home to recover from her injury. She is surprised to see Cohen Miller, her brother’s best friend and fellow Knoxville Coyotes football player. <br /><br />It’s been years since she’s seen him, but she is grateful to have him around. He understands what it’s like to be a professional athlete and his concern for her makes her feel cared for. Until she gets a text that her cousin/best friend is dating her ex that completely crushes her heart. Raia feels betrayed, but she has to face them and doesn’t want to do it alone, so convincing Cohen to be her fake boyfriend for the week turns into so much more. Especially when they end up getting caught in a snowstorm, miles away from everyone else. Feeling begin to blossom and she doesn’t know if he feels the same way. <br /><br />I throughly enjoyed reading <i>Faked and Fumbled</i>, it was a wholesome read that had me reading nonstop until the very end. I’m a huge fan of Azzi’s sports series and this was such a promising start that I cannot wait to read the next books in the series. While Raia struggles to fully feel at home and get past her cousin and ex’s betrayal. Cohen has worked really hard to get to where he is, he is a top football player who can get just about any woman he could possibly want, but struggles to find a deeper connection. Seeing Raia again, he feels protective towards her and there is a deeper feeling that he can’t deny. Pretending to be her fake boyfriend gets him that much closer to her and he realizes that they might just be perfect for each other, if he can convince her to give them a chance. Told in dual POV, this steamy sports romance ends on a perfect note that I would highly recommend checking it out! :) <br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><br />***I received an advanced copy from the publisher.

This opposites attract story will leave you swooning and rooting for the characters until the very end. <br /><br />At the beginning of the story we are introduced to Eve Houston, whose past relationship ended up in a humiliating break up that completely changed her view on relationships. Deciding to focus on her career as a real state agent, Eve has worked really hard to get to where she is. But it has come with struggles along the way and she needs to secure her next job in order to help her family financially. She is shocked to see who she is going to be working with on her next project, Whitton Wright. The Wrights are royalty in their town, so even she knows that he is completely out of her league. Coming from the other side of the tracks, her upbringing was completely different from his. Yet, she can’t help to be drawn to Whitt. He is fierce, protective and he wants a relationship, something that Eve will never be able to give him. But as the two start to spend more time together, she starts to wonder if they might just be perfect for each other. <br /><br />I throughly enjoyed reading <i>Wright Together,</i> the chemistry between the characters is magnetic and sizzling! There is no denying that there is an attraction towards each other, but one wants a relationship and the other doesn’t. So it’s up to them to figure out if they can let go of their pasts in order to start a future together. Told in dual POV and with unexpected twists, the ending was perfect for their story. I would recommend checking out this book as well as the rest of the series, you will not be disappointed. :) <br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>***I received an advanced copy from the publisher.

This friends-to-lovers story will have you hooked from beginning to end! <br /><br />As the end of the school year is approaching, Hadley Stevens can recall a time when her life used to be completely different. When her name was something else or when she got given a new life, forcing her to leave the love of her life behind. It’s been ten years since she’s seen Zach Dare, the friend who grew into something more and it hasn’t been a day since she hasn’t stopped thinking about him. But after a close encounter outside the school that leaves her shaking, Hadley is put in a position to take her younger sister away in order to protect themselves. So she finds herself packing up once again without knowing when they’ll be back home. With no destination in mind, she comes across a magazine with Zach’s face on it, reads what he’s done and decides on asking for his help. Little does she know just how much is her life going to change forever. <br /><br />Zach never expected to see Hadley once again, especially after the way she left. She broke his heart and his life was never the same. His family name is well-known, but his reputation and businesses have made him very wealthy on his own right. Zach can also sense that there is so much more to Hadley and he vows to protect her at all costs. But his walls are high and he won’t be falling for her again, or so he thinks. <br /><br />I throughly enjoyed reading <i>Just One Tease</i>, the characters were relatable and their chemistry was magnetic. We truly get to know them well as they get to know each other again. Feelings were hurt and a lot has happened in the past decade, but they are willing to trust each other again, this time to keep Hadley and her sister safe. But they don’t expect the twist in events that has them facing obstacles coming their way. Obstacles that could threaten to pull them away once and for all. All in all, I would highly recommend checking out <i>Just One Tease</i> and the rest of the series, I cannot wait to read what Phillips comes up with next. :) <br /><br /><i>***I received an advanced copy from the publisher.

font-size: large;"><b>My Review:</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>Madison delivers a steamy friends-to-lovers romance in <i>Mine to Honor.</i> The seventh book in the <i>Southern Wedding Series</i> will leave you rooting for the characters until the very end! <br /><br />As the owner of Envy Spa and Salon, Eva Meyers, is proud of what she has accomplished. After having a tough childhood, she is ready to enjoy her success. That is until one day Eva gets contacted by an older sister she didn’t know she had. She is given the chance to be part of a family again, then the unexpected happened and a tragedy changes her life forever. Now Eva is ready to fight for her niece no matter what, even asking her best friend to marry her in order to gain custody of her sister’s daughter. <br /><br />Having been friends for the past ten years, Eva has witnessed Levi be surrounded by women. He is a confirmed bachelor who has no interest in getting married, but he is protective towards Eva and wants to make her happy, even if it means marrying his best friend for a short time. It was all supposed to be pretend, but the longer they spend together, the more Eva starts to fall for Levi. She just hopes that he feels the same for her. <br /><br />I enjoyed reading Mine to Honor, though it can be read as a standalone, we get a cameos of previous characters from previous books. It’s evident from the very beginning that the characters have a strong bond, they are best friends who have been through so much over the years. They are there for each other no matter what so Levi does not think twice about helping Eva. Then things slowly began to change and their friendship starts to change to something more. Lines get crossed and they have to figure out if they are willing to give their relationship a chance or walk away from it. All in all, the story was sweet, romantic and full of steam. I would highly recommend checking it out as well as the rest of the books in the series! :) <br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>***I received an advanced copy from the publisher.

Fresh off a bad breakup and with magic that I’ve ignored for a decade, I’m ready to rekindle my inner witch.<br /><br />The catch? The house is inhabitable until I renovate it, and the only place to live is with a brooding, rugged boat-builder who definitely doesn’t want me in his space. Though there’s no denying the electric spark between us, neither of us is willing to act on it.<br /><br />To make things more complicated, I have to renovate the house in thirty days or I’ll lose it. But the house hates anyone who enters it and attacks with loose floorboards and horrific odors. I can’t get a single contractor in Charming Cove to help me out.<br /><br />That leaves only one option—convince my new roommate to help me until I can untangle the mystery of why my new home is so moody. It’ll mean spending every day with the sexy, infuriating werewolf, but I’ll do whatever it takes to make my dreams a reality.<br /><br />Romance Rules for Werewolves is a fun, frothy romantic comedy full of laughter, love, and magical hijinks. It’s the third in a series of stand alone romances set in the seaside village of Charming Cove and the books do not need to be read in order.<div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/198375051-romance-rules-for-werewolves" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="41" data-original-width="130" height="41" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil-Zn7TX_lyRENCUkbCjzfCPeKY3Terb5tNEk7WPdpl7pxalZ7BBa_CLb2d2Sxp0nIiKNqMypmDJWy9-Y9GkxLj0Aw0PDC4zNostpyQ3a9UVbkLRkr3Qs_KCwRovhWCzE2K7Hyfzuua8clk4NN3_gsa-HpcOhHT7BCfvOXy1Xzj5M51o9ul_advZ5NmQY/s1600/goodreads.png" width="130" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CH3SQ225/ref=x_gr_bb_kindle?caller=Goodreads&tag=x_gr_bb_kindle-20" target="_blank">Amazon</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><b>My Review:</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>As the third book in the <i>Charming Cove Series</i>, Hall delivers a second chance romance and new beginnings in <i>Romance Rules for Werewolves</i>. Filled with humor, wit, curses and steam that will leave you wanting for more! <br /><br />At the beginning of the story we are introduced to Isobel who has been through the ultimate betrayal from her boyfriend of eight years. Now fresh off a breakup, she finds out that her strange grandmother has left her Lavender House in the seaside village of Charming Cove. With nothing holding her back in London, Isobel makes her way to Charming Cove in the hopes to starts fresh. But seeing the state of the house and only having a month to renovate it, is adding a new level of stress to her. The townspeople refuse to get near the house, as they think that it’s cursed or haunted. So Isobel has to turn to her roommate, the brooding werewolf, Rafe, for help. He has made it perfectly clear that he doesn’t want her near him and that he wants her out of the house. But soon walls starts to fall the longer they spend together and it’s when she finds out more about Rafe that makes Isobel want to help him no matter what. They’ve been through so much and it’s their chance at a happily-ever-after. <br /><br />I throughly enjoyed reading Romance Rules for Werewolves, it was charming and hilarious. The magical town of Charming Cove will transport you to another world, it’s the perfect autumnal read. Though I loved Isobel and Rafe’s relationship, Poa, Isobel’s familiar added a lot of humor to the story. Not only do we get to see their relationship grow, but also we get to see how the town is willing to come together in order to help their own.The ending was perfect and sweet. It was an overall emotional read that I would highly recommend. You will not regret it! :) <br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>***I received an advanced copy from the publisher.

As the first book in the <i>Kings of Mafia Series</i>, this standalone will leave you rooting for the characters until the very end! <br /><br />For Vittoria (Tori) Romano, the clock is ticking until she turns twenty-five and when she’ll be able to get her inheritance in order to leave the town that has brought her so much pain ever since she lost her parents. The Cosa Nostra is run by five powerful families, they all run New York and her stepbrother is willing to do whatever it takes to be part of them. But Tori refuses to be part of the world she grew up in, full of crime and corruption around her. She longs to star a new life, away from her stepbrother. Yet, it’s his greediness where she ultimately pays the price. Who would have thought that by attending a party would turn into her wedding. Tori has heard and seen Angelo Rizzo before, he is feared in the community so she has learned to stay away. Until he develops an interest in her that has Tori worry about her plans and what Angelo might be capable of doing to her. She has been through so much already, but getting to know him she realizes that maybe he is not so bad after all. Maybe the universe had other plans for her. <br /><br />I absolutely loved reading <i>Tempted by the Devil,</i> Heard did a great job developing the story from beginning to end. The characters were well thought out as well. They might be completely different, but they both grew up among the corruption and crime. While Tori wants to start a new life, she quickly realizes that her fate is in her stepbrother’s hands and she knows that it won’t be long until he marries her off. Angelo never expected to be drawn by someone so much and ever since he met Tori, he’s been wanting to have her. There is no place for love in his world, but when her stepbrother offers her as payment for what he owes, Angelo quickly agrees.

Winners delivers a sizzling and suspenseful romance in <i>Wrathful King</i>. A must-read! <br /><br />After Reina gets captured, she soon realizes that Amon might not be alive and hope starts to dwindle by the minute. Without knowing where she is, Reina has to be resourceful if she wants to stay alive. Little does she know that her king is getting ready to go to war for her. It killed Amon everyday not knowing where his wife was taken to. He needs those closets to him the most if he is going to fight for the woman he loves. Though revealing truths slowly start to alter the course of events. Reina is going to need him more than anything and Amon is willing to be there for her no matter what. Their future depends on it. <br /><br />I absolutely loved reading <i>Wrathful King</i>, we truly get to see the characters shine and come to their own all while facing all kinds of obstacles. We see Amon be his usual alpha self, he is stubborn and determined to go after Reina. He is not going to give up on the love of his life. Yet, he wasn’t expecting for someone so close to him to betray him. On the other hand, Reina goes through a lot mentally and emotionally in this book. Things are never the same after she gets captured, so Amon has to remind her of their love in order to create a new future together. There are lots of suspenseful and shocking twists. The very end was perfect, especially those extra epilogues that we get. I cannot wait to read what happens with Amon’s brother, Dante and Reina’s sister Phoenix. All in all, I would highly recommend this trilogy if you’re looking to read something a bit darker and romantic. :) <br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>***I received an advanced copy from the publisher.

Snow delivers a page-turning romance that just keeps getting better. <br /><br />The story picks up right where it lefts off at the of <i>Claim</i> where a turn of events ends getting Sophia Morelli arrested for a murder that she didn’t commit. But the law is not working on her favor, it seems that Sophia is being used as a pawn against her own family. As the wild and rebellious one in her family, her parents don’t question what’s been talked about her in the press anymore or care. Yet, Sophia is determined to clean her name and defy anyone who wants to bring her down. Meeting Damon Pierce truly turned her world upside down. He has finally met his match in Sophia, she is different from any women he’s encounter, including his previous sub. Needless to say, protecting her turns out to be a lot harder than he originally thought. It makes him wonder if she’ll ever fully trust him or if they are just not meant to be together in the end. <br /><br />I throughly enjoyed reading <i>Defy</i>, the chemistry between the characters is magnetic and explosive throughout the story. The are a lot more obstacles coming their way and they have learn to lean on each other if they want to be together. Sophia is coming to her own as well, she is determined to have a different fait than her parents. While Damon is dealing with who is after Sophia, he has to face his past in order to give their relationship a real shot.

This opposites-attract romance is about second chances and new beginnings that will leave you rooting for the characters until the very end. <br /><br />As the CEO of Francesco Vitale, the legendary Italian fashion house, Christiano Vitale has worked really hard to rebuild his family’s legacy. By bringing his grandfather’s fashion house to new consumers, Christiano is hoping to do that by hiring one of the most influential supermodels around. But hiring Jensen Davis as the face of his brand has only brought the wrong attention to the company. With just weeks out from the launch of the most important collection in Francesco Vitale’s history, Christiano is taking it upon himself to get Jensen to take the job seriously or fire her before it’s too late. Yet, he wasn’t expecting to feel so strongly for Jensen or the need to protect her at all costs. Until she doesn’t show up when he needs her the most that Christiano begins to question his feelings for Jensen. <br /><br />Having grown up in front of cameras ready to capture every moment of her life, Jensen Davids, is used to being talked about. With a legendary last name of her own, means that it’s hard to do anything without the tabloids finding out about it. But her sisters and her have managed to start careers of their own without their mother’s approval. Yet, no matter how much distance Jensen puts between them, her mom keeps bringing her back into her old life. As the face of Francesco Vitale, Jensen has been hired to be part of the upcoming launch, but it’s her busy schedule that has her tired and overwhelmed. It doesn’t help that her mom’s recent actions could jeopardize the job that Jensen worked really hard to get. <br /><br />I thoroughly enjoyed reading <i>How the Italian Claimed Her</i>, the story was well-written and the chemistry between the characters was magnetic. Both of the characters have been through so much, they are ready to start fresh but not before overcoming some obstacles getting thrown their way. I loved the different settings in the story and that it takes place in the fashion world. I would highly recommend checking out the story and any other by the author, you won’t regret it! :) <br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>***I received an advanced copy from the publisher.

Be prepare to dive back into the world where loyalties will get tested and explosive secrets will be revealed. <br /><br />The story picks up right where it left off in Bitter Prince, after the discovery of a major secret Amon decides to distance himself from Reina. Thinking that with time they can both move on, Amon attends an event with someone whose family has strong connections. He wasn’t expecting to kiss her with Reina witnessing their interaction from afar. The heartbroken look on her face completely devastates him and as she rushes out, he is horrified to see her get hit by a car. That’s when his world turns upside down again. He knows that he should stay away during her recovery, but he can’t. <br /><br />A part of him still loves her no matter what. With everyone in the underworld wanting to go after Reina, Amon has to be extra careful and protect her at all costs. There is only one way for her to truly be safe and that is through marriage, so when it’s announced that she will be marrying his brother, Amon vows to stop the wedding and finally make Reina his queen. Only there are forces ready to stop them from being together and he has to be ready before it’s too late. <br /><br /><i>The Stolen Empire Trilogy</i> just keeps getting better, there are lots of shocking twists and turns that had me at the edge of my seat. The chemistry between Amon and Reina is sizzling! We get to see them grow as well and Reina starts to finally see the world behind her dad’s empire. She refuses to be a pawn in the game and starts to fight back. She’s been through so much already so when they find out the hidden truth that was kept from them, it gives her even more reasons to fight for the love of her life. She is ready to be Amon’s queen and claim him as hers. But as just they thought that they were safe, another obstacle gets thrown their way.

It will pull at your heartstrings and never let go. A must-read! <br /><br />For twenty-five-year old, Lillian Harrison, having grown up in the world of privilege didn’t always make her life easy. After all, when her family is all about law and she is the one all about art, it can make things difficult when it comes to how they interact with each other. All her life Lillian has felt invisible and forgettable from everyone around her, including her family and friends. For once in her life she wants to be seen and heard, so when she overhears about The Perfect Gentleman, she wants to give it a try. Hire someone to be the perfect gentleman with her and to be the perfect date for her friend’s birthday party. What soon starts as a paid date, it becomes to much more when she gets to know Callan Wright more. He is everything she’s ever wanted, but Lillian is afraid that her feelings for him are not mutual. It’s up to her to end things before it’s too late. <br /><br />As CEO of The Perfect Gentleman, thirty-two-year old Callan Wright, has managed to achieve tremendous success and wealth at a young age. His status has made him one the most eligible bachelors of Billionaire’s Row, which often comes with the wrong attention. While some people might want him for his wealth, others judge him for being part of world of “new money.” But Callan doesn’t care about what others think of him, only those he is closest to the most. Which would have included a very special person in his life, but that person was taken away too soon and Callan has been dealing with the loss ever since. <br /><br />That is until he bumps into a beautiful stranger at a coffee shop that his life starts to take a different turn. It’s fait when they are brought together again, this time through his own company. Escorting Lillian Harrison to a birthday party should have been an easy job, but when they get dinner to start to get to know each other, Callan can sense an undeniable attraction between them. There is something about Lillian that keeps pulling them together and he will not stop until he can convince her that they are meant to be together. <br /><br />I throughly enjoyed reading Unforgettable, the story truly sucks you in from beginning to end. There are trigger warnings for a reason, so be mindful when reading the beginning of the story. I found myself completely connecting with both of the characters so the story felt a lot more emotional for me. We have two characters who have suffered in different ways, but at the end they are able to lean on each other as they go through a series of obstacles together. There is a lot of growth coming from Lillian and we get to see her truly start controlling her own life/future. Their chemistry is magnetic and be ready for those steamy scenes as well! I absolutely loved the ending and I cannot recommend it enough. I can’t wait to read more from the authors in the future! :) <br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>***I received an advanced copy from the publisher.
