~~~Cover Reveal!!~~~ Southern Chance by Natasha Madison

 

 







Buried secrets never stay hidden in the South.

 

Kallie



I fell in love with him when I was seven. I scraped my knee, and he helped carry me inside.

 

 

Our love story was the talk of the town until a woman told everyone she was pregnant with his baby. The only rational solution was to high tail it out of town and never come back.

 

 

 

 

My best friend needed a place to hide, and you can’t get much more covert than my family farm, so I came back. For her. It was supposed to be temporary, and I wasn’t supposed to see him, but that’s what happens when you live in a small town where everyone knows each other.

 

 

 

 

Jacob

 

 

Being the sheriff in a small town was never my dream. My father died and my older brother took off, so I had to be the one to look after my mother. I stayed. I fulfilled my duties as a son and I protected my hometown.

 

 

 

 

My life wasn’t perfect, but I was content. Until I locked eyes with a ghost from my past, Kallie. I thought it was my imagination, it couldn’t be. I loved her most of my life, but now I hated her.

 

 

 

 

The town gossip mill was going into overdrive. I kept my head down and my mind off of the woman who shattered my heart when she ran away. She didn’t give me a chance to explain, it didn’t matter to her then. I didn’t matter.

 

 

 

 

A second chance is never promised, but now that mine is right under my nose, I’m not sure I can take it.

When her nose isn’t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she’s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It’s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn’t listen to her…

~~~New Series and Cover Reveal!!!~~~ The Hot Cakes Series by Erin Nicholas

Hot Cakes Series - CR Banner


Hot Cakes, an all-new delicious, laugh-out-loud series of standalone romantic comedies from
New York Times bestselling author Erin Nicholas, is coming this spring and we have the irresistible covers!

Sugarcoated is heating things up March 24th!

Sugarcoated300.jpg

A hot, funny brother’s best friend rom com . . . with sugar on top!

She’s his best friend’s little sister. He’s known her all his life. He’s practically part of the family. There is nothing either of them could do to surprise the other at this point.

Then she showed up in his bedroom in lingerie and asked him to take her V-card.

Now, that was a surprise.

Aiden is pretty sure Zoe was equally surprised when he told her no.

To say that he didn’t handle it well would be a massive understatement. Almost as massive as the amount of work he’s going to have to do now to convince her that he wants her. Forever.

Right after he tells her that he’s bought the company that’s her bakery’s biggest competitor.

Maybe if he tells her he’s in love with her first, that will help sugarcoat the whole we’re-rivals-in-business-now thing.

So, first “I’m in love with you”, then “take off your clothes”, then “I’m now your business adversary”.

Piece of cake.

~~~New Release and Review!!!~~~ Herd That by Lani Lynn Vale

 

The Valentine Boys
Release Date: January 21
 
His Wranglers fit him like a glove. A really tight, leaving nothing to the imagination, glove. Codie wants nothing more than to shove that Wrangler-covered butt straight into the mud.


Ace Valentine has a smart mouth, a devil-may-care attitude, and those wicked eyes aimed directly at her.

 

 



She doesn’t know what to do with that kind of attention. Especially not from the sweet-talking man that has no problem charming every woman that enters his orbit—everyone but her, at least.

 

 

 

Ace isn’t sure why Codie Spears had her panties in a twist when it comes to him, but every snub and insult she hurls his way brings him closer and closer to falling for her.

 

He’s not sure what it is about the town’s bad girl that draws his attention, but every encounter they have leaves him wanting her until there’s nothing else left to do but have her.

 

The only thing is, she’s been convinced by everyone around her that she’s not good enough. Tell a person that she’s a piece of trash enough times, and eventually she’ll start to believe it. It’s going to take a lot of smooth-talking and gentling on his part to get her to see that she’s worth it. 

 

And once he has her where he wants her? Well, she’ll make a mighty fine rancher’s wife.

My Review

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What an emotional rollercoaster of a ride this was. Both Ace and Codie’s past seem to haunt them, and they both have a lot of work to get past them. I love how alpha and protective Ace was of Codie. He didn’t let her past get in the way of them. I loved the idea of a reformed bad girl, instead of the bad boy. Puts the perfect spin on things. Ace and his siblings past? Absolutely heartbreaking. I can’t imagine going through what they did, and not being affected by it. To see them succeed was heartwarming. There was the perfect amount of drama in this story, and oh how sweet karma showed up for some. This is definitely a must read!!!

About WONDER WITH ME:

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Proby comes a new story in her With Me In Seattle series…

Reed Taylor doesn’t pay much attention to the holidays—until he receives a surprise present. Four-year-old Piper is the daughter he never knew about, and with the death of her mother, is also now the roommate he never expected. He’s determined to make their first Christmas together one she’ll never forget.

Noel Thompson has gotten her share of strange requests in her career as an interior designer. The call to design a beautiful home for Christmas is more like a dream come true. And that was before she met her new employer—sexy and mysterious, he’s everything she ever hoped Santa would bring her.

As Noel showers his home with holiday spirit, Reed showers Piper with love. And the busy life he’s created for himself no longer seems nearly as important as the one Noel is helping him build with his daughter. But if he can’t convince his decorator to stay, this could be the only year he feels the true wonder of the season.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

My Review

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This story was AMAZING! I love surprise baby (or in this case, child) and the way it changes our hero/heroine’s lives, but Reed went above and beyond. I expected some hesitancy, some awkwardness, but he embraced fatherhood like a true hero. There really isn’t a more perfect heroine for him than Noel. She’s sweet, fun, sexy, and an amazing business woman. Throw in a 4 year old who is pretty amazing, and you’ve got a fantastic read. A cameo of one of my favorite With Me In Seattle couples was just the icing on this fantastic read!

~~~New Release and Review!!~~~ This Is Forever by Natasha Madison

 

Caroline
Becoming a teen mom at eighteen was not what I expected, but then again, neither was being a single parent. Still, I wouldn’t change my past because that boy is my world.



Hockey is the only thing my son seems to care about, so I work two jobs to make sure he can play. I’d do anything to make sure he doesn’t suffer because of the bad decisions his father made.

 

When he won a whole summer of hockey training, I knew in my heart he was going to have an amazing time.

 

What I wasn’t prepared for was meeting his new summer coach.

 

 



He was magnetic, powerful, and a player—in all forms of the word.

 

 

 

 

If my life had taught me anything up to this point, it was how to avoid making bad decisions, and Justin Stone was the definition of a bad decision.

 

 

 

 

I could never be a woman his family approved of. Even if I wished I could be.

 

 

 

Justin

 


Growing up as the son of a hockey God is one thing. Growing up as the brother of a second hockey God is another. I had big skates to fill, so it was a good thing I loved every second of it.

 

 

 

 

Summer was my off time, my time to let loose, but when they ask me to coach a hockey camp for underprivileged kids, I couldn’t say no.

 

 

 

 

But when she walked in holding a little boy’s hand, my heart stopped beating. Or maybe it started for the first time.

 

 

 

 

They were a package deal, and I knew this—wanted it more than I’ve ever wanted anything. It didn’t take long to realize that no matter what happened,

 

 

 

 

I would do anything to protect them.

 

 

 

 

She is the only one I want to be with.

 

 

 
When push comes to shove, I have to prove to everyone that this is my choice, and This is Forever.

My Review

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have waited for Justin’s book FOREVER (no pun intended) and omg. It went above and beyond all expectations!!! We know our Stone men fall hard and fast, and almost become cavemen, but Justin has just a little (keyword there-little) more tact than that. I love how protective he is of Caroline and Dylan, and how he doesn’t even blink at the “package” deal he’s getting in to. Caroline is an amazing heroine, who’s been dealt a crap hand in life, and while she’s a little prickly at first (what strong heroine wouldn’t be prickly when an alpha tries to take over) she’s sweet, kind, and such a fun character. Her main focus is Dylan, and it’s so great to see her find her perfect man. 

The story was amazing, with some twists thrown in and just a little bit of drama, just the way I like it. This is definitely a must read!!! (And makes me want a 3rd Generation of this family’s books!) ❤️❤️❤️

When her nose isn’t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she’s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It’s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn’t listen to her…
