Blurb:

I kept my nose clean. Bad publicity was the last thing you wanted, and I’d had my share since my last breakup went public. We’d also just lost our last five games.

The boys and I decided to head to the islands for a little R&R. I’d never been so happy for a break. That was where I saw her. She didn’t seem to recognize me, which made it better, so I made my move. We didn’t exchange names or numbers. We shared one carefree night, that was all I wanted and that was all it was supposed to be.

A few months later, regret from that night had almost eaten away at me. I hadn’t been able to get her out of my mind. I wouldn’t say I fell in love with her, or maybe I did. All I knew was that night was the closest I’d ever come to insta-love and I wanted more but we’d had our fun. Yet, I was still mentally kicking myself for at least not getting her name.

We’re about to head into the playoffs when I return home and that is when the universe decides to bring us back together in one of the worst places ever. Only this time won’t be like the last, I decide I won’t let her slip through my fingers. This time, I’ve promised myself nothing, and all bets are off.

RELEASE BOOST – Never Let You Go by Bella Rivers

Never Let You Go by Bella Rivers is now live!

Christopher Wright is Emerald Creek’s hot, broody, single dad baker. And my totally off-limits boss. 

The fine print of my baking apprenticeship neglected to mention a few key details. Like how attentive the master baker would be. Or that he’d be really good with his hands, and not just in the bakery. Oh and that part about “room and board”? A Victorian house with hidden passages, and him cooking for me and his daughter every night.

I’m here to secure my inheritance: my late grandmother’s sprawling empire of industrial bakeries. She never loved me, but she was the only family I had. Despite her coldness, inheriting her legacy is my last chance to find a sense of belonging.

But as my relationship with Christopher grows, the truth I’m hiding from him feels heavier.


This single man. 

His little girl. 

The small town they live in and the new friends that treat me like family.
All this feels more like home than I’ve ever known.
Until Christopher catches onto the real reasons I’m here.

Frankie Burns, brash and bold on the outside, divorced and scarred on the inside, is determined to figure out what really happened with her Paps and his long-lost love, Rosie. Understanding why the duo didn’t find their happily-ever-after is her biggest mission.

Mackenzie Miller, handsome, rich, and one of New York’s most eligible bachelors, keeps everyone at an arm’s length and believes the only barometer to happiness is how wealthy and powerful he becomes. Shoving back his grandmother Milly’s wishes for him to find an everlasting love, he is successful in every other area of life. Abandoned by his mother, fairy tales are not part of Mack’s world, but running his makeup and perfume empire is paramount.
 
That is…until a feisty blond woman blasts into his life and won’t accept no for an answer when it comes to looking for a connection between his beloved Milly and her beloved Paps.
 
He doesn’t understand the severity of her search.
She needs to know the story to fill a gap in her own life.
 
The twist neither of them expects is falling for one another in the process…

RELEASE BLITZ – Saving Zane (Oakside Military Heroes #8) by Kaci Rose

Saving Zane by Kaci Rose is now live!

Blurb

Zane
Battled, broken, and branded by war, I came to Oakside seeking refuge, not redemption.
The blast took my hearing and tossed my world into silence.
Now I’m a grizzled former Navy SEAL battling with my demons and the silence of my world, until I stumble upon Carlee. 
Despite the years and experiences that separate us, she looks at me and sees a man, not a collection of scars and stories. 
But with my past and her dreams of a future, I’m not convinced I can it give to her. 

Carlee
Art is my refuge, my way of speaking when words fail me. 
Oakside is supposed to be just another step in building my dream.
Helping Zane find his way back to himself wasn’t in my plans, despite the shadows that linger in his eyes, I see the possibility of a future together.
Until I get the phone call that says I’m the sole guardian of my six year old niece. 
Now I’m thrust into a life he’s made clear he doesn’t want.

RELEASE BLITZ – Smoke On The Water (Wayward Sons) by Harper Jackson

Smoke On The Water

A Wayward Sons Novel

Harper Jackson (Kait Nolan writing as)

Release Date: May 3

 

Blurb:

I’ve lived with the stares, whispers, and hateful accusations of small-town gossips for years. Being the sister of the town pariah comes with consequences. But when the petty harassment turns darker, more drastic measures are required. I just didn’t expect those measures to include my former high school crush—the golden boy turned smoking hot firefighter—offering protection… as my boyfriend.

Are we just pretending, or is this becoming something real? And can it survive the string of arsons that threaten us both?

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I’m a big fan of Kait Nolan’s books and I especially love the Special OPs Scots series as it’s got a bit more going on intrigue wise, so when I heard KN was writing as Harper Jackson and that the books were gonna be romantic suspense I was intrigued!

I have to say this was a great read and a really good start to the Wayward Sons series, though this is not one of the guys books. The story is centered around Caroline & Hoyt.
Caroline is Rios’s sister and the story lays the groundwork and setting for the series. I liked that a lot of the characters were put into the story and I’m looking forward to their books.

We find out that Caroline’s family has a tyrant of a father and a lot of the time the family is the point of gossip and speculation. It’s during one of these times that Caroline finds herself either an unlikely ally.
Caroline had a crush on Hoyt when they were younger but nothing ever came of it. She meets him again when he’s returned home to start work with the local fire department.

Turns out Hoyt had a bit of a crush himself… that makes things more interesting …. so when he hears gossiping about Caroline and her family he has no second thought about standing up to support her and this leads to a relationship of sorts!!

I liked that Hoyt was accepting of going at Caroline’s pace when it came to thoughts of a proper relationship. I liked them as a couple and how they supported the other.

There’s a fair bit going on in this first book and SotW had me second guessing myself a couple of times. I thought I knew who the culprit was then I was hedging…. Great writing and a really good start to what I’m sure is gonna be a fab series, I’m looking forward to the unraveling of a few secrets.

 

Meet Harper Jackson:

Harper Jackson has rescued her co-workers from a hostage situation, battled ninjas, and stopped international espionage—in her head anyway. Now that she’s no longer busy devising ways to make staff meetings more entertaining, she’s pouring that imagination into tales of breath-stealing, small-town romantic suspense. She believes that peach cobbler with ice cream is the best dessert ever and has a black belt in taekwondo to back it up. She lives in the Deep South with her husband and three canine furbabies.
