Blurb: USA Today Bestselling Author Carmen Jenner delivers an unforgettable marriage-pact tale of two best friends who just needed a little shove in the right direction.   Friends don’t fall for their new bestie’s boyfriend.   Yep. Things got super awkward when I came face to face with the tattoo-covered Viking with a devastating smile and a panty-melting southern accent whom I coerced into being my fake boyfriend only weeks before. How was I supposed to know he was my friend’s boyfriend?   Friends don’t make marriage pacts after they’ve had too much to drink.   I’d been in love with Gabe since the night we met. He just didn’t know it. So when he asked me to marry him if we were still single at thirty, how could I possibly say no?   Friends don’t get one another pregnant.   Neither of us ever wanted kids, but when those two little lines appeared on that stick, well … exactly how big does an explosion have to be before it’s considered nuclear?   Friends don’t look at one another the way we do.   And that’s the trouble with us. Gabe and I have never been just friends.    

       

Review:

Lo and Gabe are a mess. It's just that simple and yet that complicated. They are the best and worst for each other. This story will share the beginning and many times we think is the end for these two. It was a very uniquely told story that takes us through the web of their story. The good, the bad, and the ugly. And it gets ugly. This story shows us that life isn't easy and that relationships don't always come in a cute cookie cutter shape but they are worth the fight.

Release with Review:: Give Me Love by Corinne Michaels

Give Me Love by Corinne Michaels is now live!

New York Times bestselling author Corinne Michaels brings another second chance standalone in the town of Rose Canyon.

My biggest mistake was falling in love with my fake husband.
It was supposed to be a marriage of convenience between two best friends in the military. Our plan was to collect extra money and stay stationed together.
But what failed? Me. I did. Because suddenly I wanted a man who was never meant to be my real husband.

In an attempt to remedy my mistake, I severed all ties and put my life as a combat medic and Emmett Maxwell behind me. I’ve lost too many people to open myself up to love.

Now I’m working as a private investigator, and fate has stepped in, forcing our paths to intersect again when I’m looking into the disappearance of a missing girl with ties to Emmett’s hometown. A case I fear puts his life in danger.

He gives me one week to prove my suspicions and then I need to sign the divorce papers and leave. The problem with that? The moment I see Emmett again, I realize how foolish it was to leave him, to think I could ever stop loving him. All I want is a second chance.

When the case threatens not only my life but also his, I’m faced with my worst fear. How many times can a heart break before it shatters beyond repair?

Review:
Emmett and Blakey are a complicated couple. They got together for what they thought was the best reason but in reality just hurt both of them. This story shares with us a past for both that shows us the why and thinking behind their marriage. It was a well told story.

Release with Review:: An Unexpected Turn by Stephanie Rose

Title: An Unexpected Turn

Author: Stephanie Rose

Genre: Small Town Romance, Single Dad Romance

Release Date: August 12, 2022

Cover Design: Qamber Designs

Photography: Regina Wamba

Verve Romance ~ "Crazy hot, super sweet, and with one of the most rewarding epilogues I've ever read, An Unexpected Turn was an absolute joy to read."

Booklover Judy Lynn ~ "There are some hot and steamy times, some very romantic and swoon-worthy moments, and times filled with heart-warming emotion."

Pages with Payten ~ "the white hot chemistry between Peyton and Jake is undeniable"

Kristina Hearts Books ~ "If the age gap, forbidden elements, small town vibe, and real adult communication weren't enough the heat is sizzling between Peyton and Jake!"

Peyton

After a risky affair cost me my self-respect, my credibility, and almost my job, I jump at the guidance counselor position that opens up in Uncle Keith’s small town. He’s the only father I’ve ever really known and the one I can turn to—even when I can’t tell him why.

No one here knows what a mess I am, and this clean slate seems perfect. At least until I run into my old crush, who’s only gotten better looking with age.

I won’t be another man’s dirty little secret, even if that crush I had as a teenager blossomed into something much more—something I can’t face.

Reasons Why Absolutely Nothing Can Happen Between Us:

1. Jake is the single dad of one of my new students.

2. Age gap. Age gap. Age gap.

3. He’s my uncle’s best friend.

Jake

I didn’t realize the curvy brunette I flirted with outside my son’s school was my buddy’s sweet, shy niece, all grown-up now. I know better than to get involved.

My marriage crumbled, leaving me and my son with damage we’re still repairing. The last thing I need is to start something with someone fourteen years younger. Did I mention she’s the police chief’s surrogate daughter?

I’m old enough to know better, but I can’t keep my hands off her. I never expected to fall this hard. Even though it’s all wrong, nothing has ever felt this right.

Author’s Note: This deliciously scandalous, small-town, single dad standalone includes steamy times in front of a kitchen sink, a hot new use for a chocolate ice cream cone, and an alpha cinnamon-roll hero who’s very good with his hands.

Review:

Peyton and Jake are a slow burn. The age gap, the small town, the best friend...it could all ruin what they have. They keep it to themselves so they can enjoy the new relationship. This story was super sweet and I liked them together. 

Stephanie Rose is a badass New Yorker, a wife, a mother, and lover of all things chocolate. Most days you'll find her trying to avoid standing on discarded LEGO or deciding which book to read next. Her debut novel, Always You, released in 2015, and since then she's written several more—some of which will never see completion—and has ideas for hundreds to come.

Clarabella

Did I want to get married today?

It's hard to say when he proposed in front of over a hundred people.

It was not.

I was a runaway bride.

 

Luke

The whole town was busy attending her wedding.

She was the one I let get away when I told her our night together was a mistake and then left town.

So I planned to spend the weekend getting drunk.

When she ran out of the church looking for a hideout, I opened the car door for her.

My cabin has one bed, and my longing looks don't mix well.

Somehow, I have to keep my heart intact and her reputation together.

Maybe she was just mine to cherish.

Grab Your Copy Here!

Review:

Clarabella and Luke's story is cute. They had a wonderful night together that Luke deemed a mistake and hit the road soon after. Clarabella went on with life even if he broke her heart a little. Soon comes a relationship that moves quickly. Next thing she knows she is getting ready to walk down the aisle and Luke is catering the reception. Their story is adorable and allows a friendship to blossom from the chemistry that consumed them so many months ago.

Meet Natasha Madison 

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...

Blurb: The warning was clear. These three boys would be the death of me. I was never supposed to fall for the worst of them…. At first, I thought I was lucky to have a fresh start. Those don’t come around often for a girl from the city streets. But a fortunate chain of events has delivered me to the center of wealth and power. And in the midst of three very different, very formidable cousins with the world at their feet. Gage, Micah and Conner were determined to be my enemies, so I braced for a war. They underestimated me. I earned respect from one of them. Friendship from another. And I found love with the third. Or so I thought. Everyone who insisted Gage Silvestro was heartless had to be wrong. He was just misunderstood, my unexpected soul mate. As it turned out, I was the one who was fooled. And I suffered for it. We all did. A night of terror and tragedy became a crash course in how easily love can turn to hate. Eight years have now passed since Gage crushed my heart, betrayed my trust and then disappeared. Now he’s back in the form of a ruthless crime boss and I thought I’d have to be crazy to even look at him. Until he risked his life to prove that our real enemy has always been pulling the strings… Now we’ll need each other if we intend to save everyone we care about. We’ll keep our friends close. We’ll keep our enemies closer. And we’ll destroy anyone who tries to separate us again.

Release with Review:: The Last One You Love by LJ Evans

Title: The Last One You Loved

Author: LJ Evans

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: September 14, 2022

Maddox

Between my badge, my daughter, and my hometown, I’ve got a busy life. It’s a mostly happy one. But late at night, when the house is quiet, I still see her face. McKenna may have left me and this town behind a decade ago, but a century wouldn’t be long enough to get over her.

There’s only one thing worse than never seeing her again. If she came back, the secret I’ve been keeping would destroy lives. Mine included. As long as she stays gone, everyone is safe.

McKenna

When my world catches fire, destroying the dreams I’ve sacrificed so much for, there’s only one place I can think to go. One man I can run to. But going back is no homecoming. Sheriff Maddox Hatley hasn’t forgotten me. And he sure hasn’t forgiven me either.

He’s hiding something beneath all that anger. I’m going to stick around until I find out what it is.

Inspired by Jon Pardi’s “Ain’t Always the Cowboy” and Lee Brice’s “Memory I Don’t Mess With,” this second-chance, single-dad, forced-proximity love story will tug at your soul, make you laugh and cry, and leave you with a smile on your face.

Review:

The first few pages of this story will have your heart in your throat, it did mine. It will show you that the heart can heart and not heal until that person, your person, returns. McKenna returns to the one place she knows she can be safe but the one place where she knows she isn't welcome. She needs to return. McKenna's story with so many beautiful twists broke my heart and I just wanted to make it all better. I didn't need to though because Maddox did that for me. He helped when he knew he needed to, he allowed her back in even though he was scared, and I fell in love with his vulnerability.

Award-winning author LJ Evans writes achingly heartfelt slow-burns with deep, relatable characters, true friends, real "family", and dreams remade on this wild ride called life.

She lives in the Central Valley of California with her husband, child, and the three terrors called cats. She's been writing, almost as a compulsion, since she was a little girl and will often pull the car over to write when a song lyric strikes her. A former 1st-grade teacher, she now spends her free time reading and writing, as well as binge-watching original shows like The Crown, A Discovery of Witches, Veronica Mars and Stranger Things.

If you ask her the one thing she won’t do, it’s pretty much anything that involves dirt—sports, gardening, or otherwise. But she loves to write about all of those things, and her first published heroine was pretty much involved with dirt on a daily basis. Which is exactly why LJ loves fiction novels—the characters can be everything you’re not and still make their way into your heart.
