Free Holiday Book Surprise!

It’s the season for gift giving!

Six FREE standalone holiday short stories!

The Twelve Dates of Christmas  - Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

I somehow got roped into my matchmaker best friend’s holiday dating event, The Twelve Dates of Christmas. The only part I actually enjoyed was shamelessly flirting with her brother, who had a front-row seat to every disaster from behind his bar. Four-years-younger Tucker was infuriatingly hot and always off-limits. It turned out while I was looking for holiday sparks in all the wrong places, Tucker was the one lighting me up. 

My Favorite Time of Year – Elizabeth O'Roark

She's all business, he's all charm – until one holiday in Paris rewrites the rules.

For years, Kelsey Cabot and billionaire Hawthorne “Hawk” Boudreaux have bantered over the phone—while he secretly imagines far more than her polished photo allows. Their first in-person meeting in Paris crackles with holiday magic, but can two lives three time zones apart find a happily-ever-after?

Don't Get Your Tinsel in a TangleLaura Pavlov

He's the wild cowboy who just wants to have a good time. She's the type A, overachiever who has always gotten under his skin. But when they get into an argument over the last Christmas Tree on the lot--things take an unexpected turn. 

A Most Divine Christmas  - Monica Murphy

Lola only wanted  a peek inside the Divine estate’s legendary holiday bash. Instead, she runs into Easton Divine himself—irresistibly handsome, infuriatingly charming and suddenly very interested in her. Crashing the party was easy. Escaping him? Not so much.

Elfing Around – Avery Flynn

Nothing could be worse than playing department store elf to my grinch of a boss’s Santa…at least that’s what I thought. Until a sudden blizzard makes us take shelter for the night in a tiny B&B with only one room with only one tiny twin-sized sleigh bed. That would be the worst—the absolute worst.

Bel's Christmas Wish – J. L. Beck

An invitation to Christmas with the Benedetti family promises glittering lights, lavish dinners, and traditions older than snow. But behind the gilded halls and holiday cheer lies something far colder: a legacy of betrayal, power, and blood. For Bel, the gathering is more than a holiday—it’s a chance to meet the father she never knew. Yet the Benedettis don’t give without taking.

New Release Review: That Girl by Jillian Dodd

 

That Girl: Damon + Ainsley #2 (That Boy: The Next Generation Book 5)That Girl: Damon + Ainsley #2 by Jillian Dodd
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been a fan of author Jillian Dodd’s That Boy series for years and it’s been fun to experience the next generation! Ainsley and Damon’s romance is so very sweet and I just love how much he adores her and knew from the instant he met her that she was his forever. This book takes us into Damon’s first college football season while Ainsley finished her last college semester and I loved how they made it work long-distance. Looking forward to the next book to see how their love story ends!

BLURB

He lives by a set of rules. She might be his one exception.

I just wanted a distraction, something to take the edge off before facing a wedding I was dreading. So on the flight back to New York, I signed up for a dating app. Harmless enough, right?

Wrong.

Turns out, it wasn’t just any app—it catered to people with very specific tastes. By the time I realized it, I was already on my date.

Tall, confident, and sinfully handsome, Jagger Langston seemed like the full package. The chemistry between us was instant—electric enough to burn the whole city down. Though things took a turn when we figured out I’d misunderstood who should join the app. We laughed it off, said goodbye, and went our separate ways.

Or so I thought.

Until I walked into my new internship Monday morning, ready to put the weekend behind me, and there he was—my boss.

Now I’m caught between the rules he lives by—and the temptation to make him break every single one of them.

My review: 4 stars


I have really enjoyed this series so much- each Fletcher man is a catch! Friends to lovers is a favorite trope of mine, and Luke and Roe's story was so fun! I loved seeing how the other wives took Addison "Roe" in and how much being a part of their family meant to her- it was amazingly sweet. I listened to the audiobook and narrators Erin Mallon and Teddy Hamilton's performances were top-notch. And now I am so ready for Everly's book!

New Release Review: Thrown for a Loop by Sarina Bownen

 

Thrown for a Loop (New York Legends, #1)Thrown for a Loop by Sarina Bowen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yay for a new hockey series from one of my favorite authors, Sarina Bowen! I really enjoyed Zoe and Chase's story, told through alternating past and present chapters. I believe this is the first time I've read about a former ice skater-turned-skating coach and this was super fun since ice skating is one of my favorite sports to watch. I listened to the audiobook and really enjoyed the performances of Brooke Bloomingdale and Ryan Hudson. The genuine camaraderie of the team and the friendship that formed between Darcy and Zoe was amusing and super fun to read.
