Beneath Highland Stars
Special Ops Scots #3
Kait Nolan
Release Date: June 20
Blurb:
With all my best mates settled down, I’m the last single man standing. Of course, the one woman to spark my interest is the only one in Scotland who seems immune to my charm. Dr. Saoirse MacGregor is brilliant, beautiful, and decided she hated me at first sight.
When her friend goes missing on a research expedition, Saoirse turns to us at Out of Bound Scotland for help. With my military training, I’m the best tracker we’ve got, so she agrees to an uneasy alliance—as long as I take her along for the search.
But the Highlands hold dangerous secrets, and what starts as a search and rescue quickly becomes something far more treacherous. Forced to rely on each other to survive, the walls between us begin to crumble. Turns out the posh vet I’ve been clashing with for months has depths I never imagined.
I’ll do whatever it takes to protect her. But the real surprise of this enemies-to-lovers journey? She might be the one saving me.
Beneath Highland Stars is a forced proximity, enemies to lovers, woman in trouble, small town Scottish contemporary romance, featuring a retired military dog who’s gonna steal your heart.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy
I’ve so been looking forward to this book since I finished the last instalment and while sad it’s the final Special Ops Scots story, it was a great ending to the series that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Finn and Saoirse have been kinda circling each other and though at first look they didn’t appear to even like each other, there was a definite intensity between them that spoke of something else.
You know that saying “that there’s a thin line between love and hate”, yeah, definitely felt like that could apply with this pair!!!
Finn was a great character. Your atypical friendly joker who’s actually hiding a huge heart and a few fears. Humour is his way of deflecting anyone from looking at him too closely. I adored his sense of duty, loyalty, protection and his desire to keep those important to him safe. A lot of what made him “him” made sense when you knew his back story.
Saoirse was a layered character. At first glance you understood why she perplexed Finn; the accent, her snarky attitude with him and her job seemed like a bit of a contradiction but when you found out her history she was nowhere near as complex as she appeared. Spending time with her in close quarters showed Finn what and who she really was. She was plucky as hell and when she committed to something she was all in, especially when it related to something important to her.
I loved the intrigue and storyline in this book. I must admit, being a Scot one of the topics that came up really hit home as it’s something I’ve thought a lot about lately…… that’ll a bit cryptic I know but it’ll make sense when you read the story!!
I really liked that in the main our mc’s were the central focus for most of the story and while we caught up with Finn’s teammates and their significant others (and pooches!!) we got to see the development of their relationship in some isolation. The situation they found themselves in meant that they had to trust each other and that really was the starting point of the change in each of their opinions and perceptions of the other.
I have to say I adored Ajax….. how could I not!!
I honestly love how much Kait’s love of my home country comes across in this series and the detail she adds to her stories gives me a real feeling of ‘being there’.
As I said, I’m sad this series has come to an end but I can’t wait to see what Ms Nolan has in store for us next!!!!

RELEASE BLAST – When We Date (Wild Fire series) by J.H Croix
WHEN WE DARE
Wild Fire series
J.H Croix
Release Date: January 13
A brand new, swoony small town firefighter series from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix!
What could go wrong when my brother’s best friend becomes my roommate?
I’m about to find out.
When I met Hudson Fox, I drove over his crutches. Way to go, girl. My hormones think this hotshot firefighter is all that and then some.
My hormones have a terrible track record. They are cheering for Hudson, but my brain knows better. I’m a smart woman with plans and none of them involve romance.
Until I move into my new place and Hudson is my roommate. Complete with Butter, his cat.
Hudson isn’t just easy on the eyes, he’s everything I didn’t know I wanted, including a little grumpy with a protective streak bigger than Alaska. We both have our reasons for avoiding romance, but when he proposes a with benefits arrangement, I can’t even think over the sound of my hormones screaming for joy.
When my messy past catches up to me and I discover Hudson is my brother’s best friend, well, things get even messier. Hudson is keeping his own secrets. I tell myself it doesn’t matter. Until my heart wants more.
Hudson & Stella’s story is perfect for readers who love: protective firefighters, slow burn, roommates, brother’s best friend, messy secrets, chemistry on the rampage, small town shenanigans, emotional romancewith a dash of angst, oodles of swoon, and a cinnamon roll hero who will protect the woman he loves with everything he has.
*A full-length, standalone romance.

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

Ricky Dunn is the equivalent to a splinter under my fingernail.
He’s the older brother of my best friend, and no matter how hard either of us try, we can’t seem to avoid each other. The problem started on the night my best friend and I graduated from high school. The party was joyous, a celebration.
That night, I willingly gave Ricky a part of me—more than the kiss we told others about.
Ricky kept his side of the bargain.
Being from the same small town and crossing paths, I haven’t noticed how handsome he’s become or the way he’s filled out.
If you ask me, he hasn’t noticed me either.
I’m working for a finance company, one he’s now interviewing for.
“Marilyn, will you be my date for the dinner with the partners? It’s only for one date and no strings.”
The problem is my heart hasn’t kept my side of our bargain.
Do I agree to his proposal, or do I turn him down flat?
Have you been Aleatha’d?

Meant for Series #2
Natasha Madison
Release Date: May 10
From Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Amazon Bestselling Author Natasha Madison comes new enemies to lovers, forbidden, single mom, hockey romance.
Christopher
I came from the biggest hockey family in the NHL.
Records were set by my grandfather, my father, and now my brother.
I was taught to love the game, but more than that, I learned early the men you play with are your family.
You get on the ice every night and protect them, celebrate the wins, and pick each other up when you fall.
So when we lost Benji, I stepped in to help his wife and kids, but this pull I feel when it comes to them is something more than I can even understand.
Dakota
My life was perfect, until it wasn’t.
Gone was the husband I thought I knew and in his place was a stranger.
I saw him change before my eyes.
Then he was gone, leaving me and our girls alone.
I wanted nothing to do with anyone or anything that took him away from me.
But no matter how many times I’ve told his best friend I don’t need help.
He’s here doing things for us, and the worst part is, I want him to.
