BLURB

When life took an unexpected turn, I decided to get out of New York for a while. What better place to go than the idyllic small town my father spoke about so fondly when I was growing up? Laurel Lake held the title America’s Friendliest Town for seventeen years running, and friendly was just what I needed right now.

Unfortunately, friendly wasn’t the welcome I got when I arrived.

Instead, I got Fox Cassidy. My tall, dark, and burly neighbor, who grunted at me instead of saying hello.

Okay, so I might’ve had his mailbox in my hands the first time we met. And it might’ve been a little crushed after removing it from under my tire. And I might’ve needed his help breaking into the place I was staying in after the key broke off in the lock. But still…he didn’t have to be so grumpy.

As time went on though, I started to notice things about Fox other than his glares. Like how he watched me when he thought I wasn’t looking, or how fire ignited in his eyes whenever we bickered. Though I was in Laurel Lake to escape my problems, not create new ones. And getting involved with a man like Fox screamed trouble, even if he was gorgeous and unlike any man I’d ever met.

But alas, problem seemed to be my middle name this year. So why not have some fun while I was here for the summer? It seemed like a good plan. At least until it was time to go home…

They say what happens at the lake, stays at the lake. But it’s not so easy to walk away when what stays behind…is your heart.

Cover Reveal: In Your Wildest Dreams by Rebecca Jenshak

Rebecca Jenshak has revealed the gorgeous cover for In Your Wildest Dreams!

Releasing: December 7, 2023

Cover Design: Lori Jackson Designs

He's the cocky, pro hockey player that tried to get my number during a game. Now he's sidelined with an injury and I'm his new nurse.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I should have known it wouldn't be the last time. For some reason, the universe keeps throwing us together.

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.

In Your Wildest Dreams is a hockey romance with a cocky, cinnamon roll hero, spice, banter, and a happily ever after. It's the fourth book in the Wildcat Hockey series and can be enjoyed as a standalone.

RUSH is a STANDALONE new adult romance intended for readers eighteen and up. This Deluxe Edition includes brand new content AND the pivotal events that were off the page, but included in the novella, Endless Possibility. With this edition, those events are restored to RUSH so that readers finally have Noah and Charlotte's full story as it was meant to be.

My review: 5 stars!

I originally read Rush a handful of years ago after I discovered author Emma Scott and made my way through her catalog of work. I was so excited to see that she was re-releasing Rush with new content and also incorporating the novella Endless Possibility into it. What a delight this was! I adored Rush when I first read it, but the Deluxe Edition was even more special and such a beautiful story. Charlotte and Noah's story was so well-written and so touching, and just simply beautiful.

The life he knew is over. The life she wants is just out of reach. Together, they must learn what it means to really live. 

RUSH: Deluxe Edition by Emma Scott is now live! 

To be blind is not miserable; not to be able to bear blindness, that is miserable. --John Milton

Charlotte Conroy, Juilliard-trained violinist, was on the cusp of greatness when tragedy swooped down on dark wings, crushing her hopes and breaking her heart. The music that used to sing in her soul has grown quiet, and she feels on the verge of setting down her violin for good. To pay the bills, she accepts a job as a personal assistant to a bitter, angry young man who's been disabled by a horrific accident... Noah Lake was an extreme sport athlete, journalist and photographer. He roamed the world in search of his next adrenaline high, until a cliff-dive left him in a coma. He awakes to find his career gone, his dreams shattered to pieces, his world an endless blackness that will never lift. Charlotte begins to see that beneath Noah's angry, brittle exterior is a young man in pain. She is determined to show him that his life isn't over, that he has so much to live for, never dreaming that she would become the only light in his darkness, or that he would help her find the music in hers. The life he knew is over. The life she wants is just out of reach. Together, they must face their fears and rediscover what it means to really live.

RUSH is a STANDALONE new adult romance intended for readers eighteen and up. This Deluxe Edition includes brand new content AND the pivotal events that were off the page, but included in the novella, Endless Possibility. With this edition, those events are restored to RUSH so that readers finally have Noah and Charlotte's full story as it was meant to be.

New Audiobook Release Review: The Burnout by Sophie Kinsella

 

The Burnout by Sophie Kinsella
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I borrowed the audiobook for The Burnout from my local library, and I enjoyed it so much! (I especially enjoyed that the narrator pronounced the name of the female main character Sasha the same as I pronounce my name- Sash-uh!) Sophie Kinsella has long been one of my favorite authors, and I enjoyed the zany setting of The Rilston with all it's quirks and unusual employees too. Desk clerk Cassidy was a hoot (watch for her hilarious side job) and former surfing teacher Terry's motto "The ride is it." is one we should all take to heart. Sasha and Finn's slow-burn romance was sweet and tender and heart-warming and such a joy to read.

New Release Audiobook Review: Bright Lights, Big Christmas by Mary Kay Andrews

 

Bright Lights, Big Christmas by Mary Kay Andrews
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bright Lights, Big Christmas was a delight! I borrowed the audiobook from my local library and really enjoyed the clean, feel-good romance that really put me in the mood for the upcoming holiday season. It was fun to get a little surprise reference to The Santa Suit, last year's holiday romance the author. This book had such a Hallmark movie feel (and Hallmark movies are my obsession)! Narrator Kathleen McInerney did a wonderful job and her performance added so much to the experience.

New Audiobook Release Review: I'm Your Guy by Sarina Bowen

 

I'm Your Guy by Sarina Bowen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I'm Your Guy is the second book in author Sarina Bowen's Hockey Guys series and we meet hockey player Tommaso and interior designer Carter. I enjoyed their grumpy/sunshine relationship and how much effort Carter put in to making Tommaso's place a home and getting it ready for a holiday visit from his ailing mom. Although at first glance it seemed that the two men didn't have much in common, it turned out that they were each what the other needed and fit so well into each other's lives. Although this book reads well as a standalone, it was nice to see Hudson and Gavin from the first book in the series. I listened to the audiobook and was excited to hear two of my favorite narrators, Teddy Hamilton and Jacob Morgan. Both gave excellent performances. I listened at 1.3X and found it to be perfectly conversational.

New Release Review: I Wish I Knew Then by Jessica Peterson

I Wish I Knew Then by Jessica Peterson is now live!

My grandmother has a saying: what’s done in the dark always comes to light, especially in small towns with big secrets. And I was hiding the biggest secret of them all.

Every summer I spent growing up at my grandparents’ coastal estate was the same. Same cousins. Same chaos. Same long golf cart rides along the beach.

But everything changed the summer I turned eighteen, when my grandparents’ new housekeeper moved in with her son, Riley. With his big personality and head-turning looks, he was the local heartthrob.

We fell in love instantly. Riley was my first everything. First love. First time.

And my first heartbreak when he dumped me at the end of the summer.

Ten years later, I’m back on the island for my best friend’s wedding as her maid of honor. Who’s the first person I literally stumble into?

Riley Dixon. Even worse? He’s the groom’s best man, and a self-made billionaire to boot.

Being forced to spend an entire week together for wedding festivities quickly leads to more: hot hate sex, late nights of sneaking out, and unexpected revelations. The boy I knew a decade ago is gone, and the hate becomes…something else entirely. And I begin to wonder if Riley is hiding some secrets of his own.

I WISH I KNEW THEN is a small town, standalone romance. It is the first book in the Harbour Village Series.

I Wish I Knew Then 

by Jessica Peterson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yay for a new series from Jessica Peterson! From the get-go I loved Riley and Lu together and their small-town second chance romance was FANTASTIC! Riley is pretty darn dreamy and I adored Lu's spunkiness and they were just so darn good together. The steam, the swoon, it was just perfection. All of the secondary characters were great, especially Lu's Aunt Lady who was a hoot and I so hope that Riley's friends will get their stories told in future books in the series.
