My review: 5 stars!

If you know me, you know I'm a bit of a wallflower myself, and married a college football player, so I can so relate to the Campus Wallflowers series. Scoring the Player was just delightful and I enjoyed Dahlia and Felix's story so much. Fake relationships are always fun, and it was so great to see them truly falling for each other as they got to know each other better. Felix was just so kind and sweet and just an all-around great guy- swoon! I loved that Dahlia was a college athlete too and it was neat to see her play a sport we don't see that much in the romance world- golf. I listened to the audiobook and Jason Clarke's growly voice was just perfect for Felix, and Erin Mallon always gives such great performances, so she was a great voice for Dahlia.

New Release Review: The Troublemaker by Jessica Peterson

 

The Troublemaker by Jessica Peterson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Greer and Brooks were an absolute delight! It was so refreshing to see characters deal with relationship and family issues like adults can have the capability to do, and thank you to the author for sparing us the typical breakup at 80%! I loved the Greer was so driven and such a hard worker, and to see Brooks supporting and encouraging her was everything. Greer helped Brooks deal with some trauma from his past and aided him in opening up, which helped his whole family heal. Together they were fantastic. I am enjoying this series so much! (The Troublemaker would read just fine as a standalone, but characters from the first book appear and you'll want to read their story, promise!)

Looking for a Fake Fiancé

Have you ever wanted to prove someone wrong so badly that you could taste it?

It doesn’t matter if they’re right. The fact that they had the audacity to say it is what counts.

Hi. It’s me. I’m that person.

The man I’ve been casually seeing told me I’m not “wife material” and should “lower my expectations”. Didn’t he realize I lowered them the moment I met him for dinner?

Obviously not.

Am I petty? Maybe. Annoyed? Of course. Determined? Definitely.

I need someone to help me flaunt my new engagement—my fiancé couldn’t wait to pop the question because I’m that amazing—in his face.

The problem? I don’t have a boyfriend, let alone a husband-to-be.

Which brings us to you.

Are you handsome? Successful? A smooth talker extraordinaire?

Are you willing to do all the things that someone madly in love would do?

Putting your hand on the small of my back. Forehead kissing. Acting like I’m a treasure you can’t live without. I need you to be prepared to do all those things … and maybe more.

What do you get out of this? I’m willing to negotiate terms—especially if they include a job and a place to stay. It’s a long story.

One night. One event. Let’s put on one heck of a show.

 

From USA Today and Amazon Charts Bestselling author comes a “hot and hilarious!” fake-dating tale between two frenemies that turn into roommates, coworkers, and, ultimately, lovers. Fans of close proximity, one-bed trope, and blue-collar, small-town heroes will fall madly in love with this story.

           

About the Author:

 

USA Today Bestselling author, Adriana Locke, writes contemporary romances about the two things she knows best—big families and small towns. Her stories are about ordinary people finding extraordinary love with the perfect combination of heart, heat, and humor.

She loves connecting with readers, fall weather, football, reading alpha heroes, everything pumpkin, and pretending to garden. 

Hailing from a tiny town in the Midwest, Adriana spends her free time with her high school sweetheart (who she married over twenty-five years ago) and their four sons (who truly are her best work). Her kitchen may be a perpetual disaster, and if all else fails, there is always pizza.

New Release Review: Runaway Love by Melanie Harlow

 

Runaway Love by Melanie Harlow is now live!

Yes, I'm a single dad who needs a nanny for the summer.

But hire the stranded runaway bride who shows up on my doorstep in a wedding gown with no references, no skills, and no experience?

No one is that desperate.

Except within twenty-four hours, down-on-her-luck Veronica Sutton manages to charm my kids, my family, and half the population of Cherry Tree Harbor into believing she's perfect for the job.

And for me.

It's not that I can't see the appeal-those baby blue eyes? The endless legs? That mouth made for trouble? But I've got enough on my plate, raising two kids on my own and keeping the family business alive. I don't have the time or the inclination to fall for an outspoken city girl.

So I should have kept my hands to myself.

Holding her in my arms was a big mistake. Even worse? Spending the night together. She ignites a possessive fire in me that I'm finding hard to snuff out.


But the most unforgivable? Growing attached to the sound of her laugh, the scent of her skin, and the way her body wraps around mine in the dark.

At the end of the summer, she'll be gone.
And if I'm not careful, she might run away with my heart.

My review: 5 stars!

I adore it when a grumpy hero meets a sunshiny heroine! In this case, Austin, a single dad to the cutest young twins, was grumpy because of all the years of putting others before himself and just needed to meet the spunky Veronica to see how he could be happy and have it all. I laughed and smiled and swooned and loved this start to author's newest series, Cherry Tree Harbor. I'm so looking forward to a book for Austin's brother Xander!

Meet Melanie

USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author Melanie Harlow writes sweet, sexy, feel-good romance. She likes her martinis dry, her heels high, and her history with the naughty bits left in.

Audiobook Review: Fluke by Adriana Locke

 

Fluke by Adriana Locke
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fake dating is always such a fun trope, and I love that Fluke did a twist on that trope and made it even more fun. Each and every Carmichael brother we meet is even more swoon-worthy than the one before. Jess is just dreamy. I'm super invested in this family and am dying to know who is sending the random texts and I am so excited for a book on Banks! I also listened to the audiobook and Samantha Brentmoor and Ryan West did such a great job- they were perfectly cast as Jess and Pippa. I really enjoyed their narration.

Cover Reveal: Forbidden Hearts by Corinne Michaels

Corinne Michaels has revealed the gorgeous cover for Forbidden Hearts!

Releasing: June 5, 2023

Cover Design: Sommer Stein, Perfect Pear Creative

Photographer: Wander Aguiar

Model: Andrew Biernat

First rule of being a nanny? Don’t fall for the single dad, even if he is smoking hot.

But that’s exactly what happens when grumpy small-town sheriff Asher Whitlock reluctantly hires me to take care of his daughter for the summer. Neither of us is thrilled with the arrangement, but he’s desperate for help, and I need the money for grad school this fall.

All we need to do is keep our distance and remain professional . . . turns out, that’s easier said than done.

Instead of focusing on my future, all I see is the strong jawline, crystal-blue eyes, and rock-hard body right in front of me. We try to resist each other, but we end up crossing every line until I’m in his bed.

I tell myself it’s just this once.

Okay, twice.

All right, every night.

But it’s got to end–he’s fourteen years older than me, with a kid and a stressful job. Have I mentioned my dad is his boss? Then there’s the past I’m trying to forget. Secrets aren’t easy to keep and mine are getting too big to hide.

Walking away is never simple but when I do, I can’t look back.

Even if it means leaving behind the man I was never meant to love.

Cover Reveal: Something Unexpected by Vi Keeland

 

Title: Something Unexpected

Author: Vi Keeland

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Cover Design: Sommer Stein, Perfect Pear Creative

Model: David J. Harman

Release Date: July 3, 2023

BLURB

When my grandmother found out she didn’t have long to live, she embarked on a crazy trip—jumping out of airplanes and scuba diving with sharks.

After I repeatedly voiced my concern, Gram blocked me—her own grandson—on text and social media, leaving me only her travel companion Eleanor’s number.

Eleanor started sending me pictures of Gram’s adventures. At first she seemed nice, but when I attempted to persuade her to talk some sense into her friend, she told me where I could stick my advice. After that, photos arrived with snarky comments, and Eleanor and I got into it on more than one occasion.

When I heard Gram’s upcoming plans were more dangerous than ever, I hopped on a plane.

Since I arrived late, I headed to the bar for a drink, figuring I’d surprise her in the morning.

To my delight, I met a gorgeous woman looking for a no-strings-attached night. Nora was just what I needed. She invited me back to her room, telling me to give her a ten-minute head start. But when I went to pay her bar tab, I realized how much she’d had to drink. As much as I wanted to ignore it, I couldn’t. So I stood Nora up.

I knew she’d be pissed, but I also knew I’d never see her again.

Except never came a little early. Namely, the next morning when I went to meet my grandmother and her evil-spinster friend. Because old Eleanor turned out to be young Nora from last night. And if I thought the woman disliked me before, that was nothing compared to how ticked-off she was now. Or how unhappy she was going to be that their party of two was about to become a party of three.

New Release Review: Vacation Wars by Meghan Quinn

 

Vacation Wars by Meghan Quinn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

First let me say that I LOVED Myles and Tessa together! It was just adorable that they had each crushed on the other from afar for so many years. I so related to Tessa- I'm a spreadsheet/numbers girl and I'll admit a bit quirky and awkward myself, especially when it came to crushes. But I will also say I DID not like Tessa's twin and the other two girls in their friend group. But maybe we aren't supposed to? I adored the setting (now I totally want to vacation in Greece!) and the romance between Myles and Tessa was swoon-worthy and I never tire of author Meghan Quinn's hilarious situation and banter.

My review: 5 stars!

Oh how I loved Heart of Gold! Best friend to lovers is such a great trope and I always love that moment where the couple each, separately, realizes they are meant to be! This was such a sweet story and Will and Ramsey were just darling! If you are new to author Amie Knight and enjoyed this story, you must go back and read A Steel Heart to see when Miranda and Holden, who are featured in this story, first meet. You'll also love getting to see Will as a young boy in A Steel Heart.

SEEKING AN EX-HUSBAND

 

I need a fake ex-husband. 

Let me explain … 

I may have let it slip to my new co-workers that I have an ex-husband. Now they’re fascinated with the details, specifically with him.

Why wouldn’t they be? He’s gorgeous, has exceptional skills in the bedroom, and is determined to win me back.

But there’s a problem. He doesn’t exist.

The bigger problem? I have to produce him to save my job.

This is where you come in.

I’m seeking someone to play a smitten ex-husband for two weeks. You’ll need to remember our love story—details matter when it comes to romance! Please be prepared to travel in-state at a moment’s notice. We may be in close proximity and sharing a bed may be required.

One more thing—kisses are required for optics as necessary.

If this sounds interesting or, at the very least, entertaining, let me know.

Signed,

Your Future Ex-Wife
