Blurb: 

#1 Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills delivers an all-new enemies-to-lovers romance that blurs the lines between revenge and love… 

  

River Tate is a god on campus.  

The king of football. 

A tattooed bad boy with gunmetal eyes that see right through you.  

The only chink in his armor is her, the girl he pretends doesn’t exist, the forbidden one with the shy smile and lavender hair.  

  

Anastasia Bailey is a nobody.  

The queen of nothing. 

An outsider with the face of an angel and a body made for sin.  

The only chink in her armor is him, her boyfriend’s frat brother, the football player who hates her.  

  

But when Anastasia’s life crashes down, River’s the one who sweeps in and picks up the pieces. Torn between loyalty, lies, and secrets, he battles the temptation to take everything from her when they make their revenge pact. 

  

He can’t tell her no. 

Because revenge (or love) is sweet, and once you get a taste, the craving never ends.

Blurb: 

How hard can it be?  

 

That was the question rolling around Larissa Mason’s mind just before she asked Hollis Hudson to be her fake boyfriend.  

 

It was only supposed to be for five minutes, after all. 

 

Granted, that was also before she felt his hand on the small of her back as he charmed the heck out of her family.  

 

She hadn’t heard his laugh yet either.   

 

And it was definitely before she saw the football god shirtless. Otherwise, she would’ve had an idea of just how hard some things could be.  

 

It turns out that pretending to be in love with a crazily handsome, somewhat enigmatic, and absolutely unforgettable tight end (that has an amazing tight end) is easy. 

 

Reminding herself that just because opposites attract doesn’t mean they’re forever is much harder. 

 

What they have isn’t love—it’s a relationship pact. Right? 

About Adriana: 

USA Today and Washington Post bestselling author Adriana Locke lives and breathes books. After years of slightly obsessive relationships with the flawed bad boys created by other authors, Adriana has created her own. 

  

She resides in the Midwest with her husband, sons, and two dogs. She spends a large amount of time playing with her kids, drinking coffee, and cooking. You can find her outside if the weather's nice and there's always a piece of candy in her pocket.

Her latest novel, however, totally bombs, causing her editor to suggest she write much sexier books.
To Kitty, writing smut is the literary equivalent of stripping.

New Release Review: Reclaim by Aly Martinez

 

Choices. Everyone makes them. From mundane to unimaginable, one choice can change the trajectory of your entire life. 

My mother’s choice was to abandon us with our abusive father.

My brother’s choice was to go to prison for killing the boy who assaulted his soulmate.

Camden Cole’s choice was to fall in love with a shattered girl who had absolutely nothing to offer him but heartbreak. 

It was one summer beneath the trees, but with Camden, I had a place where I belonged.

A friend who was always waiting for me.

A boy who I caught staring at me more often than not. 

He was mine, but when the world closed in and secrets exploded all around us, it was my choice to let him go. 

Choices. Everyone makes them.

But mine would ruin us all.

My review: 5 stars!

This summer I listened to the audiobook for Aly Martinez's Release, and it immediately went on my Best of 2020 list. No one does angsty romance quite like Aly Martinez, and Ramsey and Thea's story was heartbreaking, yet their love was still so beautiful. When Martinez announced that Reclaim would focus on Nora, Ramsey's sister, I put it at the very tip top of my TBR. Because the events from the past are such an integral part of both both Ramsey and Nora's stories, I would recommend reading the books in order- Release is spoiled by details from Reclaim if not. But we do get more details from the past with Nora's story and meet Camden Cole, who is just about the most amazing boy/man I have ever read about. He is absolute perfection- so caring and loyal and just SWOON. I loved getting to see Ramsey and Thea again and I just kept thinking over and over, if anyone in the world deserves a HEA, it's these four characters. I loved the journey Martinez took me on.

About Aly

Originally from Savannah, Georgia, USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez now lives in South Carolina with her husband and four young children.

Never one to take herself too seriously, she enjoys cheap wine, mystery leggings, and olives. It should be known, however, that she hates pizza and ice cream, almost as much as writing her bio in the third person.

She passes what little free time she has reading anything and everything she can get her hands on, preferably with a super-sized tumbler of wine by her side.

BLURB:

"Did you have relations with my brother . . ."

Good question.

I’d like to preface this by saying it was never my intention to ever get involved in a workplace romance, let alone get involved with the most surly, agitating, and pompous man I’ve ever met who just so happens to be my new friend’s brother.

My intentions were to show students how English and reading books could actually be fun and make a new life for myself in the suburbs of Chicago.

But so far, I’ve managed to be called into the principal’s office.

Coerced into participating in the teacher's badminton league.

And instigated into passionate fights with Arlo Turner over education and decorum while losing my underwear at the same time.

Known as Mr. Turns Me On, he’s the reason I might get fired from my first ever teaching job.

My review: 4 stars

Meghan Quinn creates the most fun groups of friends, and the teachers in See Me After Class were such a hoot to hang out with. The pranks are delightful! Enemies-to-lovers is always a tricky trope for me- sometimes I have a bit of trouble accepting the redemption 100% and I have to admit that held true for me for Arlo. I did not like him one little bit for quite some time. But I adored Greer! I did appreciate Arlo's groveling and his Epic Grand Gesture at the end, and I would say he reached about 75% on the redemption scale in my mind. I LOVED seeing the Brentwood connection and baseball players (more Jason!). I can't wait to see more of this group in Quinn's future releases.

Blurb:

 Coy Mason is a jerk.

If there is one truth that Bellamy Davenport knows, it’s that. Hands-down. (Well, that and the fact that she didn’t mean to hurt him. Physically. Coy can’t be hurt emotionally because he doesn’t have a heart.)

Coy is not just the small-town, literal boy-next-door. He’s a heartbreaking, womanizing, mischief-making (and delicious) man and was all of those things well before he became a hot-shot country music sensation.

He’s a dream standing in her doorway with no shirt, messy hair, and a ‘Do you wanna?’ grin. But he’s also a nightmare for her heart and she knows it.

Their enemies-to-lovers relationship always ends the same way—heavy on the enemies, light on the lovers.

So why is she still standing there?

New Release: The Christmas Blanket by Kandi Steiner

 

The Christmas Blanket by Kandi Steiner is now live!

From bestselling author Kandi Steiner comes a cozy second-chance romance about love, loss, and adventure...

When I decided to surprise my family in Wellhaven, Vermont for Christmas, I never could have known that I'd get a surprise of my own -- in the form of an unexpected blizzard.

I haven't been home in four years, not since I left this town with my eyes set on adventure.

And my heart set on forgetting the only man I’ve ever loved.

River Jensen -- my ex-husband.

I don't plan on seeing him during my visit. I definitely don't plan on him saving me when my little rental car slides off the icy road. And the last thing I could have ever prepared for is being stuck in a tiny cabin with him, waiting out the storm.

Four years have passed since I've seen him -- the boy I loved, now a man I don't know at all.

But being stuck inside with him leaves us nothing but time together.

Everything about him has changed, and yet, he still has the same forest green eyes that have haunted me since I left. Back then, we were at an impasse. Back then, there was nothing left to talk about, nothing left to fix. Back then, the only choice I had was to leave and start anew.

But the more I re-discover the man I left behind, the more I question why I ever left at all.

And if I’m too late to find my way back home.

The Christmas Blanket is a stand-alone holiday novella set in a snowy small town in Vermont.

New Release Review: Happily Letter After by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward

 

Title: Happily Letter After

Authors: Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

Publisher: Montlake

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Release Date: October 20, 2020

BLURB

From New York Times bestselling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward comes a love story about taking chances and the surprises that come with them. 

My love story all started with a letter. 

Only it wasn’t from the man I’d eventually fall in love with. It was from his daughter. A sweet little girl named Birdie Maxwell who’d written to the magazine that I worked for. 

You see, once a year my employer fulfilled a few wishes for readers. Only that column didn’t start up again for months. 

So I fulfilled some of her wishes myself. It was harmless…so I thought. Until one day I took things too far. 

While anonymously granting yet another of Birdie’s wishes, I got a look at her father. Her devastatingly handsome, single dad father. 

I should have stopped playing fairy godmother then. I should have left well enough alone. But I just couldn’t help myself. I had a connection to this girl. One that had me acting irrationally. 

Like when I showed up on their doorstep.

ADD TO GOODREADS

My review: 5 stars!

I think every time I finish a Vi Keeland-Penelope Ward co-write, I say it's "my favorite!" but I guess I will say it again- Happily Letter After was fantastic and is my favorite! They always come up with such unique storylines. It was such a swoony romance, yet still had so many hilarious moments. It was heart-tugging with just the perfect amount of sexy. I adored little Birdie- she absolutely won my heart with the letters she wrote. The whole thing was just so clever!

RELEASE ALERT

EXCERPT

Copyright © 2019 by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward 

“I cannot believe we are doing this.” Devin and I took the C train to Columbus Circle and stopped at Starbucks before walking over to the carousel. My partner in crime came dressed for surveillance, wearing head-to-toe black, dark sun- glasses, and a wool cap . . . in July. We were lucky it was New York or she might look like the weirdo she is. I, on the other hand, had on jeans and an Aerosmith T-shirt. Because . . . you know . . . Steven Tyler and those lips. I didn’t even care he was probably pushing seventy. I’d still suck on those babies. 

We took a seat on a bench located to the right of the carousel—not directly in front of it but where we could still see everyone who walked in and out. As we got into position, I started to feel really bad about what we were about to do—invade little Birdie’s privacy. 

“Maybe we shouldn’t do this.” 

Devin put her hand on my shoulder and applied pressure—just in case I tried to get up. “We’re doing this. Don’t even try to make a run for it.” 

I slouched back onto the bench. “Fine.” 

We sat for the better part of an hour, sipping coffee, gossiping about work, and looking around for a little girl and her dad. When I caught the time on my phone, I said, “It’s after eleven. I don’t think they’re coming.” 

“Let’s give it until eleven thirty.” 

I rolled my eyes. But screw it, we were in this far—I might as well go along with the rest of the ride. Otherwise, Devin would never let me hear the end of it. At eleven thirty on the dot, I stood. “Let’s go, Lacey.” 

“Who?” 

“Cagney & Lacey. It was a show my mom used to watch when I was little. It had two women detectives.” 

“Well, which one was hotter? Maybe I don’t want to be Lacey.” 

I laughed. “You can be whichever one you want to be.” 

I turned to throw out my coffee cup in the basket next to the bench and was just about to start to leave when I spotted a little girl and a man who had just turned into the entrance of the park. They were pretty far off, but I thought it could be Birdie. “Oh my God. Sit! Sit! I think that’s them.” 

The two of us planted our asses back on the bench at the same exact time. Devin leaned forward and squinted. “Are you sure?” 

I grabbed her arm and pulled her to sit back. “Don’t be so obvious.” 

We watched, while completely failing at looking casual, as the man and the little girl moved closer. The man was tall, broad-shouldered, and had on a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. He was holding the hand of the little girl. And she had on . . . a bodysuit and tutu. It was definitely Birdie! 

“Oh my God. It’s them!” 

Neither of us said a word as the father and daughter approached the carousel. When they got close enough so I could finally see their faces, I gasped. “Oh my God. He’s . . .” 

Devin grabbed my hand. “I call dibs. I want to have his babies.” 

I couldn’t believe my eyes. While I was expecting a modern version of my dad twenty years ago, the man standing before me was anything but. For the record, my dad is awesome, and he’s not too shabby-looking. But this man . . . was . . . drop. Dead. Gorgeous. Wow. Just . . . yeah. Wow. 

Sebastian Maxwell had dark hair, bone structure to die for, and full, beautiful lips. I’d joked how Devin thought the guy was a super- model, but this man could actually be a supermodel. He had that longish, messy hair—the kind that he could drag a hand through, and it would look like he’d been both thoroughly f$%&ed and just finished a photo shoot. Yeah, that was him. I was absolutely, positively speechless.
