Just One More Dare (The Sterling Family #2) by Carly Phillips

Blurb:

A runaway bride.

Her older brother’s off-limits friend.

Taking one more shot at love should be easy, right?

Not on a dare.

Samantha Dare had one thought when she found out her fiancé was a lying cheater. Escape. So, she ran from her wedding…straight into the arms of the man who once gave her the hottest kiss of her life. But rebounding with her brother’s friend would be a huge mistake…wouldn’t it?

The last thing Dex Sterling needed was more chaos in his life. Retiring from football and starting over in broadcasting gave him plenty of that. But even though Samantha is chaos personified, for some reason, he’s stillnot able to keep his mind—or hands—off her…

Is a little bit of forced proximity and a lot of sexual chemistry enough to earn them a second chance at happily ever after?

Samantha and Dex are about to find out…

Just One More Dare, book 2 in the Sterling Family series, is a light, spicy, best friend’s little sister/forbidden, contemporary sports romance that can be read as a standalone.

🌻 Roommates

Blurb:

A best friend’s brother stand-alone from small-town romance author Brooke Montgomery about a girl who falls pregnant by the wrong man and the cowboy who takes her in…

I’ve crushed on my best friend’s brother for years.

He’s a six-foot-three, dark-haired cowboy who works on his family’s ranch and sends butterflies to my stomach anytime he looks at me. But he’s never made a move, so I need to get over it.

Except, when he reads a text message about me liking a mysterious guy, he snaps and demands answers. Little does he know, it’s my code name for him.

When he finally confesses he likes me too, I find out I’m pregnant. With my ex-boyfriend’s baby.

After spending three weeks together in secret, my world turns upside down when that little white stick reveals a positive sign from the one-night stand I had before him.

Now everything’s a mess and my life’s spiraling out of control.

I can’t expect him to date me anymore, so I insist we return to being friends. The last thing he needs is a girl who’s carrying another man’s baby and about to be a first-time mom.

But when my apartment gets broken into, and there’s a suspected criminal on the loose, he insists I move in with him to keep me safe.

Staying platonic proves to be harder with each passing day as he goes with me to my appointments, takes me baby shopping, and stocks the kitchen with all my weird cravings. He’s so involved that everyone assumes he’s the father. And I don’t correct them.

But the truth always comes out in a Southern small town.


Stay With Me is book 2 in the Sugarland Creek series. Each book in this Southern, small town series is a stand-alone and ends in a happily ever after.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

Oh lord, I was not expecting Tripp Hollis…. To be honest, I don’t think Magnolia Sutherland was expecting him either!!!

This pair have danced around each other for years, neither being brave enough to take a chance until finally Tripp is pushed into action.

Magnolia/Sunny doesn’t have a great relationship track record and her ex, Travis, has always been a reason why Tripp never let his feeling for her be known. Regardless of what Travis did – and he did some really shady stuff – Magnolia always seemed to end up back with him.
She’s been Travis free for a couple of years until one night, a shot of the green eued monster, a misunderstanding and too much booze sent her back for one last night……

It’s around this time that Tripp thinks Magnolia has her eye on someone else and finally decides to make a move.
This guys…. Honestly, he’s one of the best book boyfriends I’ve read in a good while.
He’s patient, doesn’t push for more than Sunny is able to give him and even when things don’t go as planned he’s not going anywhere. His determination to have the relationship and future with Magnolia that he has wanted for years is overwhelming. Sunny can’t quite believe he means what he says (especially as she’s never had someone look out for and be there for her specifically in a relationship) but the gods, this man shows her exactly what he wants.

Together these two were smokin’ hot. For a sweet guy Tripp had a dirty filthy mouth (and I was there for it!!). Sunny for her part wasn’t afraid to tell him what she wanted and had a dirty wee mouth of her own.

I liked the suspense – even though we had a good idea of who was up to no good – the banter was great, catching up with the rest of the Hollis family (I LOCE Grandma Grace) finding out about Mags’ family background and following Noah & Fisher in their next step all made for a fantastic read.

I’m so looking forward to Fall With Me. I’m pretty sure Ellie is gonna give Landen a run for his money

You could read this book as a standalone but I’d seriously recommend starting with the novella Come With Me and going from there!

COVER REVEAL – Force a Date by Aria Belle


Title: Force a Date
Author: Aria Belle


Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Grumpy/Sunshine, Age Gap, Fake Boyfriend
Secret Child, Workplace/Boss Romance
Cover Design: Black Widow Designs
Release Date: April 4, 2024

BLURB

Don’t ever tell your mother that your boss is your boyfriend.
Right in front of him.


Just don’t, trust me.

Hudson Stoll is the grumpiest grump I’ve ever met in my life. He’s never liked me much and calls me anything but my real name. His favorite rendition?
Opie.
My name is Liv, and because my mother is a grade-A pain in the ass who’s always complaining I can’t keep a man, I blurted out Hudson was my boyfriend just in time for my dad’s birthday party.
Didn’t come without consequences.
As payment for my brain-to-mouth malfunction, I’m now Hudson’s personal bitch for the next three months.
No, literally.
I go on coffee runs, order his food, and have to tackle mindless tasks around the parlor. I mow his lawn, trim the bushes, and wash his monstrous Harley. Oh, and let’s not forget listening to him complain about how I’m not doing something right and how I have a big mouth.

Pffft. Takes one to know one.

But throughout my temporary servitude, one thing becomes crystal clear—he’s interested in so much more than me simply getting the job done right. Hudson stares at me like he’s about to devour me in one bite, and I’m no one to judge him because, honestly, I’ve done it plenty of times myself. It’s hard not to when he’s a wall of muscles covered in tattoos.
Don’t even get me started on the beard.
We’re not supposed to act on our “relationship”, though…
It’s not real.
He’s not mine, I’m not his, yet he can’t seem to keep his hands to himself, and I have a problem saying no.

Don’t ever tell your mother that your boss is your boyfriend—because things can and probably will spiral out of control.

And I personally wasn’t ready for the hard fall I took when he found out about the daughter I kept a secret the whole time.

GEM: A PRIVATELY-FUNDED ORGANIZATION OPERATING INDEPENDENTLY IN THE SEARCH FOR—AND THE RESCUE AND RECOVERY OF—MISSING AND EXPLOITED CHILDREN. ALTHOUGH, AT TIMES WORKING IN CONJUNCTION WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT, GEM AIMS TO ENSURE THE VICTIMS RECEIVE JUSTICE…BY WHATEVER MEANS NECESSARY.
____

GEM Operator Opal; multifaceted, versatile, a chameleon.

She hides in plain sight, adapts, and infiltrates.

When Opal goes undercover in a youth center several teenagers have disappeared from, she’s shocked to find a ghost of her own traumatic past at the helm. However, her worry for the missing kids is greater than her concern being recognized and she risks her own safety to discover the truth.

To complicate matters, a familiar FBI agent shows up conducting his own investigation and almost blows the whistle on her. It takes some doing to convince him to join forces with her but as it turns out, they work well together.

In the course of uncovering an organized group of child molesters, they find themselves falling—for each other.
