Good as Gold by Sarina Bowen

A swoony, heart-wrenching small-town romance from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller Sarina Bowen!

Leila:
What I meant to do: quietly divorce my lout of a husband and then have a child all on my own.

What happens instead: my crush comes back to town when I’m at my most vulnerable. After too many cocktails, I ask him to be my baby’s father.

In my defense, it’s been a rough couple of months. Seeing Matteo Rossi again after fourteen years has done a number on my emotions. And my libido.

In the morning, I’m hoping he’s forgotten the whole thing. But no such luck. In fact, Matteo has a few clarifying questions. And a few naughty ideas, too…

Matteo:
What I meant to do: visit Vermont for my brother’s wedding. Make amends to my family, and mourn the loss of a friend.

What happens instead: a hot affair with the one who got away. But it can’t last. My life is two thousand miles away, and Leila deserves everything. She’s as good as gold.

Fractured by Riley Edwards

 

Loving Echo Kent was painful.

Not the falling in love part, that was easy. One look at the tall, blond-haired, blue-eyed narcotics detective and I knew I wanted him. A few months later I knew I couldn’t live without him. But my Echo, he had demons and secrets and a mountain of guilt. His love was selfish and one-sided—he could love but he refused to allow others to love him. The closer I got, the harder he pushed me away. Yet I was determined to make him face the demons that held him hostage.

The fight was hard won but I did it. I was well on my way to healing Echo’s fractured heart when someone from his past came raging into our lives threatening to blow up our perfect future.

As the seconds tick and my death approaches Echo has to make the impossible choice—me or his family.

Grab the Paperback Here

This book was an emotional tsunami. Fractured has to be the most anticipated book out of the Triple Canopy series with Echo Kent, our mysterious and broken hero, and Jaclyn, the sister of his friend and the girl he just couldn't get off his mind.

Fractured is an Age Gap, Second Chance, Best Friend's Sister, and Romantic Suspense that is super hawt and packed full of emotion. Although this is the last book in the series it is an interconnected stand-alone, so it can be read without reading the rest of the books in the series but I HIGHLY recommend reading the entire series.

You can check out the entire series on Riley's Website and best of all the entire series is in Kindle Unlimited making it the perfect series to binge!

Callahan “Cowboy” Whiskey is a natural-born protector, a Dark Knights biker, and a hell of a rancher. What happens when he falls for a woman who has no idea who she really is?

When Sullivan Tate escaped from a cult, leaving behind the only life she’d ever known, she thought she’d already endured the most difficult things she’d ever have to deal with. She knew she needed to figure out who she was, but she hadn’t expected to fall for overprotective and sexy-as-hell Callahan “Cowboy” Whiskey along the way. How can she give her heart to a man who has always known exactly who he is, when she’s only just begun figuring that out about herself?

Melissa gets me every single time!! And the Whiskey's are one of my all-time favorite families!

This was an emotional roller coaster. Sully comes to Redemption Ranch in the middle of the night after escaping a cult group on the east coast. Cowboy has been assigned to be her protector and watch over her - a job he naturally has slid into from an early age.

From the moment Cowboy lays eyes on Sully, there is something there that brings his protective nature to full force. Cowboy knows without a doubt that Sully is a girl that he recently found out was kidnapped as a toddler after being involved in an accident with her parents. His natural protectiveness goes into high gear anytime he is around Sully. He slowly builds her trust, as she is new to everything and trusts no one after the years of abuse on the cult compound.

This book will have you in tears one minute and laughing the next. I loved Cowboy and Sully's story and I know you will too.

Melissa Foster is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal & USA Today bestselling and award-winning author. She writes sexy and heartwarming contemporary romance and new adult romance with emotionally compelling characters that stay with you long after you turn the last page.

Always Her Love by Melissa Foster

ALWAYS HER LOVE

The Steeles at Silver Island

Melissa Foster

Releasing Sept 21, 2022

World Literary Press

Blurb:

Some fates are too tempting to deny…

If you love single-parent romances, you won’t want to miss Always Her Love, an emotionally gripping, funny, and sinfully-hot story of forbidden love, with a much-deserved and epic happily ever after. Fall in love on the sandy shores of Silver Island, home to coffee shops, boat races, midnight rendezvous, and the sexy, sharp-witted Steeles. They have a penchant for pranks, a passion for loyalty, and a trunk full of secrets. All Steele novels may be enjoyed as standalone romances.

In ALWAYS HER LOVE

“I'm pregnant. It’s yours. I’m having it, and unless you want it, I’m putting it up for adoption.” 

Those were the words that changed Levi Steele’s life before he was even legally allowed to drink. There was never any question about whether he would keep his daughter, and eight years later, he doesn’t have a single regret. He owns a successful contracting company, he’s part of the Dark Knights motorcycle club, and Joey’s happiness is his top priority. None of that would be possible without the help of Joey’s beautiful and selfless aunt Tara, who’s going to be staying with them over spring break and who he’s been thinking about in ways he shouldn’t. But Tara’s older sister is Joey’s birth mother, and she’s the last woman the dirty-talking biker should want to get his hands on.

Tara Osten has been crushing on Levi for as long as she can remember. He’s a loving father, a loyal friend, someone with whom she can always be herself, and six-plus feet of deliciously hard, tattooed muscle. At twenty-four, she’s finally realized he will never see her as more than his baby mama’s younger sister. It’s time to let go of her lustful fantasies starring Levi Steele and move on with her life. Step one: Buy her own place and start dating. Step two: Survive spring break without falling harder for the one man she can never have.

Sneak Peek, https://melissafoster.com/always-her-love-sneak-peek/

Goodreads link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60103217-always-her-love

Goodreads series link: https://www.goodreads.com/series/282375-the-steeles-at-silver-island

Levi and Tara have known each other practically their whole lives. That’s what happens when you grow up in such a small town. Tara from a young age was always drawn to the kindhearted Levi - having a crush on him for as long as she can remember. Her dreams were crushed when her older sister announces she’s pregnant and it’s Levi’s baby.

Fast forward 8 years later and Tara has become a godsend for Levi and his little girl Joey. Filling in for her sister who decided not to be a mother and leaving Joey with Levi full time while she travels the world - barely paying her daughter a second thought. Tara loves spending time with Joey and Levi and after all these years she's given up hope that Levi will ever see her as anything more than Joey's aunt.

Things change though when Tara lets Levi know that she's going to be moving on. Buying a place of her own and needing to spend less time with Levi and Joey to concentrate on her life which includes dating. At first, Levi didn't know why this made him so jealous until his brother helped take the blinders off his eyes - letting him see just how much he cares for the fun-loving, beautiful woman in front of him.

I love a good single dad romance especially when the child is as cute and sassy as Miss Joey is. I loved watching the realization hit Levi and him fighting for Tara - letting her know how much he needs her proving to her that he needs her as much as Joey does.

I love this series and I think Levi and Tara are my favorite couple so far!

My TOP READS OF 2016: Numbers 25-20

There were so many great books this year. My list this year will include some authors that maybe a lot of you haven't heard of before. My goal was to step outside of the box of my normal reads and open myself up to new authors and genres that I normally don't read. Even with having to take almost 5 months off this year due to medical reasons, I was able to get in a good amount of books, yet still leaving so many on my TBR lists! Hopefully through my list, you'll be able to find some new to you authors.

 
Fated - A.S. Roberts

When naive, British physiotherapist, Frankie Jones, is offered the job of a lifetime, she decides letting go of her grief and moving on is exactly what the doctor ordered. But when she comes face to face with a sexy and irresistible blast from her past, she realises that this time she just can't walk away.

Even if it means stirring up old memories and pain...

Assertive and controlling CEO, Alex Blackmore, is shackled to obligations--obligations he didn't necessarily want. But now that Frankie is back in his life, he knows exactly what he does want--and will have. As their relationship intensifies, Alex's worlds collide and their past resurfaces, threatening to destroy what they're both working toward--letting go and moving on. Can Frankie and Alex fight their demons and embrace the future they're FATED for?

AMAZON

This year there were a slew of new authors that I was able to meet through doing trailers and A.S. Roberts was one of them that I am so happy to have been introduced to. A debut author, her Fated Series was a page turner! You need to meet the Blackmore brothers! I absolutely love this book and series (so far two in the series). If you like hot alpha males, this is the book for you.

Frankie Jones has been hired to move to New York City from England to help in the rehabilitation of Nathan Blackmore - a motorbike racer and brother to Alex Blackmore, a high powered CEO and a man from Frankie's past she really doesn't know about.

When Frankie finally comes face to face with Alex, she now knows the connection and the hurts from her past come rushing in. What she doesn't know is that Alex has been a part of her life for a lot longer than she knew... and with all the circumstances around them, it's like they were fated to be together.

But things don't always work out the way you want them to... And is Alex all that he said he is?

Such a great story line that kept me turning the pages and so happy that Nathan's story is already published so I could dive right in! If you are on KU - both books are in the program so you can read them for FREE.

Book Two in the Series 

Neighbor Dearest - Penelope Ward

After getting dumped, the last thing I needed was to move next door to someone who reminded me of my ex-boyfriend, Elec.

Damien was a hotter version of my ex.

The neighbor I’d dubbed “Angry Artist” also had two massive dogs that kept me up with their barking.

He wanted nothing to do with me. Or so I thought until one night I heard laughter coming through an apparent hole in my bedroom wall.

Damien had been listening to all of my phone sessions with my therapist. The sexy artist next door now knew all of my deepest secrets and insecurities.

We got to talking.

He set me straight with tips to get over my breakup.

He became a good friend, but Damien made it clear that he couldn’t be anything more.

Problem was, I was falling hard for him anyway. And as much as he pushed me away, I knew he felt the same…because his heartbeat didn’t lie.

I thought my heart had been broken by Elec, but it was alive and beating harder than ever for Damien.

I just hoped he wouldn’t shatter it for good.

A STANDALONE NOVEL that does *not* need to be read in conjunction with any other book. 

 

AMAZON | B&N | iBOOKS | KOBO

I inhaled this booked. I love Penelope Ward and her writing. She has just the right mixture of romance and angst that it's impossible to put a book of hers down once you start.

Damien and Chelsea were magic together - even from the start when the didn't start off on the best foot.

This is a must read that will leave you smiling throughout the book. And the secondary characters - Jade and Ty and the Double D's (I'll let you find out who they are) are just as amazing. And I secretly hope there is a follow up to this book with Ty :)

Go get this book. You'll love it. I promise.

 

No Pants Required - Kim Karr

I, Makayla Alexander, am on a mission to reinvent myself. So when a super hot guy boards the plane and flashes his rock hard abs, I pay attention. When he sits next to me and offers me his nuts, I can’t resist. But when I choke on them and he tells me I need to work on my gag reflex, I realize I might be in over my head.

Before I know it we’re in the lavatory and attempting to join the Mile High Club. Let me just say this...anyone who tells you it’s easy to get it on at 37,000 feet isn’t telling you the truth. After the flight attendant busts us for getting frisky in the air, the only thing that can ease my total and complete mortification is the simple fact that I am never going to see him again.

Hours later, I can’t help but wonder if fate will ever allow me to become a new version of myself.

Because Fate, she’s a fickle bitch.

Case in point...my seatmate is my new next-door neighbor.

Even with the whole fate thing we have going on, we are so not meant to be together. He’s all cool and sexy in that make love not war kind of way. Guys like him are dangerous. With that bring-you-to-your-knees body, that handsome-as-hell face, and that dirty, dirty mouth, I guarantee one glance from him wets every girl's bikini bottoms.

And then there’s me…the quirky girl looking to find herself in California. All I want to do is learn to let loose. Say words like peace and groovy. Bury my toes in the sand. Who knows, maybe even have sex on the beach.

Unable to get him out of my head, I entertain the thought of being more than just friends. I know the idea is absurd. And yet, I go with it. You see Camden Waters gets me. Really gets me. Like no other guy has before.

On this 7-mile stretch of paradise, I decide to keep things simple and just have fun...that is until fate decides to screw with me, again.

 

AMAZON 

Makayla is ready to reinvent herself and what better way than to leave NYC behind for the beaches of California. Before boarding her flight, her best friend sends her a list of things she needs to do in order to move the reinvention along... who better to start the  with than this mysterious, perfect body, male species that sits next to her in first class. Let the fun begin!

No Pants Required is an oh so sexy, fun to read, leave you swooning, good ole fashion boy meets girl and "can this really be happening to me" story. This whole series is amazeballs and you really need to read it, like now. :)  Each book can be read as a standalone plus the entire series is on KU!

Bedwrecker Available Now - Hollywood Prince Jan 2, 2017

 Blown Away - Brenda Rothert

One year after her fiancé died in a heartbreaking accident, Drew McGovern decides to honor his memory by joining his old storm-chasing buddies on their latest excursion. What she’s not so sure about, however, is whether she’s ready to move on. Drew wasn’t expecting to feel the powerful pull of desire toward Colby’s best friend. But there’s no denying the intensity of their connection . . . or the heat he inspires in the parts of her that are still very much alive.

Aiden O’Neal doesn’t trust himself around Drew. He’s wanted this girl for a long time—long enough to remember the stab of jealousy he felt the first time he saw her in Colby’s arms. Now he’s trying his best to behave himself. But when the wind starts blowing and the adrenaline starts pumping, Aiden can’t resist the urge to claim Drew as his own. Because when it comes to desire, he’s hoping to make lightning strike twice.

  

 AMAZON | B&N | iBOOKS | KOBO

First off, let me say that I am a HUGE fan of Brenda's writing. I have been with her since the beginning and I have to say that Blown Away is her best piece of work yet. I was totally enthralled with the story line and the emotions of Drew and Aiden. I absolutely could not put this book down. I stayed up late and read this all in one sitting.

Drew is ready to finally start her life. After having helped her younger sister and brother graduate high school and move on to college, it's now her time. In less than two months she will be marrying, Colby, the man of her dreams and finally getting away from the mother that stopped caring after her husband died 10 years ago. Colby lives a dangerous life, chasing storms across the tornado alley with his best friend, Aiden... and one night on the way home from a chase, Colby is struck down by a driver while he was changing a tire for a lady on the side of the road.

Now a year later, Drew is ready to do something with her life. The past year she's be mourning the loss of Colby and she's ready to move on. So a chance meeting with Aiden one day, set her on an adventure she never thought she would do - joining the chasing team that Colby was a part of.

Aiden has always lusted after Drew, even when she was dating Colby. It wasn't that he didn't think Colby was good enough for her, he just always had a feeling that Drew could have been his. Now that she was sitting in his truck, day in and day out. He knows that hooking up with Drew could lead to something so much more, something he isn't ready for and doesn't want to put Drew through. But after their time together, things start to change and Aiden starts to see that maybe things could work between the two of them, if only they could let go of the ghosts of the past they both seem to be pulling along with them.

I loved Aiden and Drew. Both had been through so much in their lives, both afraid of what could be next. Colby seems to be the third wheel that will be with them no matter what. The push and pull between these two is through the roof. I loved every minute of this book.

I had big hopes for this series after reading From This Day Forward (#0.5) and To Have and to Hold - was everything I was looking for and more. Lauren Layne has a hit on her hands with this series and I just want more and more!

Brooke Baldwin is new to the Wedding Belles - Wedding Consultants extraordinaire of New York City. She's moved across the country from California after the biggest wedding of her career crashes and burns - Her own. She's ready to start over and make a new life and New York City seems like the place to do that.

On her first day she lands one of the biggest accounts - Hotel Heiress - Maya Tyler. What she didn't expect was her overly controlling big brother Seth Tyler to throw kinks and curves into all of her plans. He doesn't know anything about his sister's fiance and he's going to get the facts before his sister walks down the isle... but can he get the gorgeous wedding planner to help him uncover what's really going on?

The sexual tension between Brooke and Seth radiates from each and every page. The push and pull between them keeps the pages turning making you want more and more.This series is definitely one of my favorite of the year!
