Fireworks
by Sarina Bowen
True North Book 6
Another epic love story in the USA Today bestselling series!
Skye Copeland is on paid leave from her broadcasting job after accidentally drawing a wiener on the traffic map. As if it’s her fault the traffic pattern created a perfect schlong?
Skye isn’t laughing. She needs this job. And that’s the only reason she’s willing to chase down a story in her least favorite place—that hell on earth known as Vermont.
A quick trip. In and out. Much like - never mind. She can sneak into the town that once tried to break her, get the story and slide back into the good graces of her producer. Easy peasy.
But things go sideways the moment she steps over the county line. Her stepsister is running from a violent drug dealer. And the cop on the case is none other than Benito Rossi, the man who broke Skye’s teenage heart.
His dark brown eyes still tear her apart. And even as she steels herself to finally tell him off after twelve years, the old fireworks are still there.
Things are about to go boom.
My review: 5 stars!
Listen, I had no clue that Benito Rossi would be such #bookboyfriend material! But there he went making me swoon, right along with Skye.
Wowzers, Benito in a green dress uniform is not to be missed.
Sarina Bowen has been at the top of my one-click author list for years, and when I curl up with her novels, I know I'm going to find all the things I love in romance: hot guys, real female characters I can relate with, off the charts chemistry, and her trademark wit.
She gives Skye and I one more measuring glance, because small towns run on coffee, pastries, and gossip.
I enjoyed the dual POV, and past-and-present storytelling as well. Since I also enjoy the suspense genre, I was happy to see a crime investigation included, something totally new to this series. I love how the author has tackled something a bit different with each book. Although Fireworks can absolutely be read as a standalone, fans of the True North Series will enjoy seeing characters from other books in the story. Bowen has created a pretty fantastic world in small-town Vermont, and I can't imagine who wouldn't enjoy a virtual trip there.

New Release Review: Fireworks by Sarina Bowen
New Release Review: In Her Space by Amie Knight
In Her Space, the stunning conclusion to the Stars Duet by Amie Knight is LIVE!
I was reunited with Livingston Montgomery in the broad sunshine of a Carolina morning, right where she belonged; in the light.
It’d been too long since I’d seen her face.
She had changed, but so had I.
I was Adam Nova, reformed bad boy. Now, successful business man.
I had it all, except for the one person I’d always wanted, and now I was back to claim her.
She was living in the shadows, just a shell of the former girl I knew.
But it didn’t matter that she tried to hide from me in the dark.
I’d follow her into the deepest depths of hell.
I just wanted to be In Her Space.
My review: 5 stars!
What an epic finale to the duet! I waited on pins and needles to read In Her Space and was not disappointed. Liv and Adam had drawn me in in the first book and it was so neat to see them 10 years later. I was pulling for them to get their well-deserved happy ending and Amie Knight did such a fantastic job taking us on their journey. This duet will be on my Best of 2018 list for sure.

Remember when we parted ways in Germany? It was the day I broke your heart. What you didn't know was that I was breaking mine too.
I thought they’d be enough–my husband and my son. That I’d get home and everything would go back to the way it was . . .
Before the war.
Before the ambush.
Before you.
But, no matter how hard I try, I can’t erase the trauma we shared. I can’t seem to forget the way my heart beat in time with yours.
The truth is I’m lost without you.
I thought the nightmare was over when they pulled us from that hole in the ground, but nothing could have prepared me for the war I’d face at home.
I know it’s selfish of me to ask, but, please, I have to see you one last time. . .
All my love,
Scottie
My review: 5+ stars!
Wow! I finished Heartbreak Warfare a few days ago, but had to decompress for a bit before I could fathom writing a review. This book was EPIC! Such a complicated and messy story. I shy away from love triangles, but this was far from a typical love triangle- the circumstances the characters were faced with created something all-together different and almost impossible to describe. What Katy and Briggs experienced together with changes everything about their lives. So many difficult topics are death with and this book goes to some dark places, yet the authors did it SO WELL. Absolutely at the top of my Best of 2018 list!

Cover Reveal: Across the Horizon by Aly Martinez
Across the Horizon
by Aly Martinez
Release Date: December 6, 2018
“Sometimes love happens when you least expect
it.” That was what my husband’s mistress told me the day I found out about
their affair.
I didn’t believe it until five minutes later
when mouth-watering celebrity chef Tanner Reese walked up, tossed his arm
around my shoulders, and told my cheating husband to take a hike.
Tanner and I couldn’t have been more different.
He spent his weekends at clubs, rubbing elbows with fellow A-listers. I spent
mine in yoga pants with cheese boards and a glass of wine—or six.
Our relationship shouldn’t have worked, but it
did. That is until Tanner proved to me that even though love happens when you
least expect it...
So does heartbreak.

Cover Reveal: Only Love by Melanie Harlow
“Heartfelt, beautiful and sexy! There's a reason Melanie Harlow is one of my absolute favorite romance authors, and Only Love is the latest example of why she holds that spot. Ryan and Stella's love touched my heart!"
- Lauren Blakely, #1 New York Times bestselling author
Only Love, an all-new sexy standalone romance from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow is coming November 26th!
A gorgeous former Marine with a tortured soul.
The beautiful, compassionate therapist living next door.
A meddlesome grandma determined to get them together.
I was expecting a proposal on my birthday, and I got dumped instead.
How could I have been so clueless?
Grams knew exactly how to distract me.
The “cute boy next door” who’s been helping her with yard work clearly needs a little therapy. Who better to call than her newly single therapist granddaughter?
She even fakes dementia to get me to visit, and now that I’m here she’s doing everything in her power to throw us together.
Not that I’m complaining. Ryan is the sexiest man I’ve ever met--I mean the full package, from the chiseled jaw to the massive shoulders to the rippling abs. (And yes, his package is full, and he knows exactly how to deliver it.) He makes me want to get out of my head and follow my heart. He makes me want to take chances I never thought I’d take.
He also makes me want to take my clothes off. A lot.
But he’s moody and challenging--one minute he’s an open book, and the next he’s completely closed off. He holds me like he’ll never let go, but insists he wants to be alone.
Some wounds are so deep, only love can heal them.
How can I convince him to let me try?

New Release Review: My Gift is You by Rachel Lacey
A Risking It All Short Story
All Mandy Carson wants for Christmas is a distraction…and maybe a date to her friend’s New Year’s Eve wedding. Ghosts from the past always loom larger this time of year, and Mandy’s having a hard time faking her usual fun-loving demeanor. But when her much-needed distraction arrives in the form of the man who rocked her world the long-ago night of their junior prom, she’s forced to confront the painful scars that caused her to bolt back in high school.
Wildlife rescuer Calvin Rocha always regretted letting Mandy slip out of his life, so when fate brings them together on a snowy mountain road with an injured hawk on Christmas Eve, he’s determined to make the most of this second chance. He agrees to be her wedding date, hoping the romantic weekend will bring them back together. And as the clock counts down to midnight, Cal and Mandy might just discover that the best gift they’ll receive this season is each other.
My review: 5 stars!
This short story is SO FUN and it totally put me in the holiday spirit! (The Hallmark movies I am watching in the evenings isn't hurting!) Second chance romances are always a favorite for me, and I loved Cal and Mandy together. I have really enjoyed the Risking It All series and this novella was a fun way to wrap it up. I am also loving the Almost Royal series, and love the crossover. HOWEVER, this novella, or any of the books in either series, can totally standalone, so I absolutely recommending grabbing My Gift is You even if Rachel Lacey is new to you!
I LOVE these fun facts about the book from Rachel Lacey:
- This is my first holiday novella!
- It wraps up my Risking It All series
- It also crosses over into my new Almost Royal series, so you'll get to see LOTS of familiar faces
- It's set during Sam and Carly's wedding (you met them in Rock With You)
- Both Mandy and Cal (the heroine and hero of My Gift is You) are familiar faces from my Risking It All series - who remembers them??
- Like all the books in my Risking It All series, the title is also a song (ending in the word "you") I got to pay homage to some of my favorite pop divas in this series: Whitney Houston (Run to You), Madonna (Crazy for You), Gloria Estefan (Can't Forget You), and now Gwen Stefani with My Gift is You!
- Like all my books, it stands alone, so if you haven't read the books mentioned above, no worries!
- It can be yours for just 99 cents! (so what are you waiting for??) ;)

New Release: Hate Notes by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ware
A standalone romance novel published by Montlake Romance
By: New York Times Bestselling Authors Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward
Release Date: Tuesday, November 6, 2018
SYNOPSIS:
It all started with a mysterious blue note sewn into a wedding dress.
Something blue.
I’d gone to sell my own unworn bridal gown at a vintage clothing store. That’s when I found another bride’s “something old.”
Stitched into the lining of a fabulously feathered design was the loveliest message I’d ever read: Thank you for making all of my dreams come true.
The name embossed on the blue stationery: Reed Eastwood, obviously the most romantic man who ever lived. I also discovered he’s the most gorgeous. If only my true-love fantasies had stopped there. Because I’ve since found out something else about Mr. Starry-Eyed.
He’s arrogant, cynical, and demanding. I should know. Thanks to a twist of fate, he’s my new boss. But that’s not going to stop me from discovering the story behind his last love letter. A love letter that did not result in a happily ever after.
But that story is nothing compared to the one unfolding between us. It’s getting hotter, sweeter, and more surprising than anything I could have imagined.
Something new.
But I have no idea how this one is going to end . . .
