RELEASE BLAST – Ivy’s Arch (Puffin Bay #6) by Annie Dyer

IVY’S ARCH

Puffin Bay #6

Annie Dyer

Release Date: August 1 

 

I was connected to Iris through a shared loss – Ivy – her older sister, who was also my best friend.

For a long time, we corresponded through letters. Old fashioned ink and paper on which we shared everything.

A mistaken one night stand when we were both drunk with grief didn’t ruin our friendship. We moved on. We carried on writing to each other. We stayed friends.

Four years later, and Iris is asking me for a favour. She wants a baby and needs a father, which isn’t going to be straightforward for either of us.

I say yes, pretending this will be easy. Knowing it won’t be.

Especially when that one night stand with Iris doesn’t feel like a mistake anymore – and I want more than a repeat.

I want forever.

Tropes: older sister’s best friend; friends-to-lovers; small town; planned pregnancy

TW: death of a sibling, infertility, IVF

RELEASE BLITZ – The Secret Hook-Up by Pippa Grant


Title: The Secret Hook-Up
Author: Pippa Grant


Genre: Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Second Chance/Secret Fling/Auction
Release Date: August 1, 2024
 

BLURB 
 
You’d think nearly dying trying to get out of a too-tight gown in a dressing room and being saved by a strong, competent man was a good thing.
 
Not so much, though, when that strong, competent man is your ex. Your secret ex.
 
And the reason you need a gown is because you’re part of a charity auction.
 
The charity auction where he gets into a bidding war to win you.
 
And now, because you’re one of few female coaches in professional baseball, and he’s the captain of the local professional hockey team, and he paid a ridiculous sum of money for you…
 
The entire city is shipping you. You can’t leave your apartment without getting a knowing wink from strangers. Your bosses want to use the publicity to have you jointly launch a new community outreach program.
 
That’s bad enough. It truly is.
 
But even worse?
 
Duncan Lavoie, the green-eyed, curly-haired, dimple-cheeked, hot as lava hockey player wants a second chance. And he’ll play dirty to get it.
 
The Secret Hook-Up is a laugh-out-loud romcom featuring the hot-as-sin hockey captain of the Copper Valley Thrusters, the Copper Valley Fireballs’ lady baseball coach he never got over, and a misbehaving formal gown. It stands alone and comes complete with a happily-ever-after.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

****

AUTHOR BIO 


Pippa Grant wanted to write books, so she did. Before she became a USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling romantic comedy author, she was a young military spouse who got into writing as self-therapy. That happened around the time she discovered reading romance novels, and the two eventually merged into a career. Today, she has more than 30 knee-slapping Pippa Grant titles and nine written as Jamie Farrell. When she’s not writing romantic comedies, she’s fumbling through being a mom, wife, and mountain woman, and sometimes trying to find hobbies. Her crowning achievement? Having impeccable timing for telling stories that will make people snort beverages out of their noses. Consider yourself warned.

NEW RELEASE – Wallflower (Aster Springs #1) by Samantha Leigh

WALLFLOWER

Aster Springs #1

Samantha Leigh

Release Date: July 31

Blurb:

He’s the grumpy hotshot hockey player. She’s too shy to look him in the eyes. He needs a live-in summer assistant and she’s perfect.

Chord Davenport is the hottest, surliest man to ever slap shot a puck. He’s given up everything to be the best—family, friendship, love—but he’s about to retire as a legend of the game and that makes his sacrifices worth it.

Violet James wanted to be the next big name in bridal couture not a junior marketing executive for the San Francisco Fury hockey team, but her salary pays her dad’s therapy bills and leaving him behind to chase a selfish dream would cost her too much.

When Chord hires Violet as his summer assistant, he’s certain this pretty wallflower won’t give him any trouble. But when she moves into the house he built on his family’s California ranch, Chord can’t take his eyes—or his hands—off her.

All he wants is to love her, protect her, satisfy her, and give her the courage to follow her heart. He didn’t expect to feel a desperate need to become a better man.

In just one summer, Chord and Violet change each other forever, but will living their dreams be the very thing that tears them apart?

‘Wallflower’ is a grumpy/sunshine steamy small town romance with an HEA. It’s the first book in the Aster Springs series and can be read as a standalone.
