RELEASE BLITZ – Hot to the Touch (Hot in Chicago Rookies #3) by Kate Meader


Title: Hot to the Touch
Series: Hot in Chicago Rookies #3
Author: Kate Meader

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Enemies to Lovers/Forced Proximity
Release Date: August 22, 2023

BLURB

The next book in the Hot in Chicago Rookies series features playboy firefighter, Sam Killian!

I might be a rookie Chicago firefighter, but I’m on top of the world. I’ve just earned my spot on Rescue Squad at legendary Engine 6, can get all the action I want both in and out of the bedroom, and am possessed of an enviable sneaker collection. Nothing can harsh my vibe except her—Cassandra Ferguson, my brother’s sister-in-law, or as I affectionately label her: the blister-in-law. Ever since I met her, she’s looked down her perky little nose at me, never mind that I’m a good foot taller. Apparently, I offended her with a few risqué jokes and an offer for a fun, no-strings night—crimes that have relegated me to lower than dirt in St. Cassandra’s eyes.

These days we’re at a stalemate. Don’t get along, can’t get along. Only when tragedy strikes, we have no choice but to put our animosity aside for the sake of our hurting niece and nephew, who need us now more than ever. As co-guardians, Cassie and I are enemy combatants in an uneasy truce, flailing around in a no-man’s land of grief and lust, forced to work as a team.

Thing is, when Cassie and I team up—when we really work together—the results are explosive. In a sexy way. In an amazing way. Maybe … in every way. But with stakes this high, we can’t get it wrong.

Even though it feels so, so right.

RELEASE BLITZ – Stay Wild (Kincaid Brothers #5) Kaylee Ryan

Title: Stay Wild
Series: Kincaid Brothers #5
Author: Kaylee Ryan

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Found Family/Friends with Benefits/Small Town
Release Date: August 22, 2023

BLURB

What happens when your wandering heart is captured by your friend with benefits?

Scarlett

Archer Kincaid is supposed to be all the fun and none of the strings, but the longer I stay in Willow River, the more I feel roots pulling me to settle down.

I plan to complete a one-year photography contract with Captured Moments, then move on to travel the world. Chasing my dreams, taking photos, and living life on my terms—shot by shot.

But I’ve been on my own since losing my adopted parents, and home isn’t about a place as much as it is a feeling. And Archer’s starting to feel like home, but loving him means trading one dream for another.


Archer

Scarlett Hatfield is the kind of girl who can’t be tamed. Her adventurous spirit is contagious, but a blue-collar man like me doesn’t chase dreams. I build them from the ground up. And my home is in Willow River.

I can see myself building a life with the gorgeous redhead who’s turning my world upside down, but that means clipping her wings. And I could never do that, not when she’s meant for more than my small-town life.

Even if it means destroying my heart, when the time comes, I’ll have to say goodbye and let her stay wild.

RELEASE BLITZ – I Could Never by Penelope Ward

Title: I Could Never
Author: Penelope Ward

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Forbidden Romance/Enemies to Lovers
Release Date: August 21, 2023

BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new forbidden, enemies-to-lovers story…

It all started with an unexpected phone call.
Two years after my fiancé passed away in an accident, his father died suddenly, leaving Brad’s adult, special-needs brother with no one to care for him.
The next thing I knew, I was on a cross-country drive to New Hampshire where I’d be moving in to look after Scottie until I could get him into a group home.
The last thing I ever expected?
I wouldn’t be taking care of him alone.
Josh Mathers, my fiance’s best friend—who also happened to be my sworn enemy—insisted he was the better person for the job. He told me to go back to California, and I told him where he could stick that demand.
Our disdain for each other wasn’t anything new. It dated back to a text I’d accidentally read years ago.
We hated each other. But we both loved Scottie, so neither of us budged.
Now we were living together in a tiny house—with one available bedroom. Thank goodness it was only temporary.
Over time, I realized the broody jerk I thought I knew was different than I’d imagined.
I found myself slowly growing attached to someone I once considered the enemy…and growing attracted to him.
Sure, both of us were guilt-ridden over Brad. We were also two grown people with pent-up frustration toward one another—stuck in a cabin in the woods.
But this was Josh.
I could never.

RELEASE BLITZ – Pompous Paramedic (A Cocky Hero Club Novel) by Melanie A. Smith


Title: Pompous Paramedic
A Cocky Hero Club Novel
Author: Melanie A. Smith

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Fake Relationship/Strangers to Lovers
Release Date: August 20, 2023

Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward are excited to bring you the Cocky Hero Club: original works from various authors inspired by Keeland and Ward’s New York Times bestselling Cocky Bastard series.

BLURB

From award-winning and international best-selling author Melanie A. Smith comes a steamy standalone novel in the Cocky Hero world.

Zelda

Life as a Las Vegas fake wedding coordinator has never been boring.

Unfortunately for me, it just got a little too exciting … the bad kind of exciting that lands you in the emergency room.

On the bright side, it was a hot paramedic who showed up to save the day. Sure, he’s a bit cocky, but it works for him. And now I can’t get him out of my mind … which was the good kind of exciting until it wasn’t. Until one date turned into a fake marriage fiasco.

Now I don’t know if we’re really falling for each other or if it’s all an act.

Ty

Being a paramedic in Vegas, I’ve seen it all. Or I thought I had until I got a call for a fall victim who’d tripped over a swan and tumbled into a pond.

Luckily for her, I follow up with my patients — especially the pretty ones — and I made sure she was on the road to recovery in no time. And by “road to recovery,” I obviously mean ready to go on a date with me.

But unluckily for me, our first real date found me waking up hungover only to discover that we’d gotten married the night before.

Or so I thought. Turns out we weren’t actually married. But I didn’t know that when I let it slip to my dying mother, whose last wish is for me to find someone to take care of me once she’s gone.

Really, it’s my job to take care of people. But with three hearts on the line? Even I’m not that good. And I know someone’s heart is bound to get broken.

Skye

This isn’t how I’d envisaged my homecoming

I left Oakheart Glen two decades ago

I never expected to return

But my husband wants to fulfil a decades held dream: finish his career playing for the Goshawks Rugby Club

Who am I to argue?

I know our return will put me on a collision course with Cian “Lucky Seven” Hughes

The man I promised to marry

The man who broke my heart

I need to hold it together

My husband needs me. My daughter needs me.

Can I keep our secret, or will I fumble our final pass?

Lucky

For two decades I’ve given my heart to the Goshawks Rugby Club

A final crack at the Championship and a glamour testimonial match show how they feel about me

But the return of an old foe threatens to take the shine off my glorious final season

Where Murray Walsh goes, trouble always follows

And there she is: Skye Stevenson

The woman who promised to marry me is right there on Murray’s arm

I locked my heart away years ago

But Skye needs help

And I’m the cinnamon roll hero

All is not as it seems

But will helping this damsel in distress risk breaking my heart right open…?

Sidelined Blurb:

Noa Keawe was only supposed to be a vacation fling

Fresh off a breakup, I took off to Barcelona to find myself…and ended up finding Noa.

The hulking, tattooed man I met in a park turned out to be everything my ex wasn’t: sweet, considerate, kind. And despite the vacation ending much too soon, he found a way to see me again.

I might have found the one. But then, my ex turned up…

I can’t have my heart broken again.

When my NFL contract ended, I expected a new one, one that solidified me as a franchise player for the Norwalk Breakers. But when that new contract never materialized, my girlfriend walked.

Hoping to occupy myself during the off-season, my teammates arrange a trip to Europe. A non-stop party to help me unwind.

Except, partying has never been my scene.

That’s when I met Lena Rynel, a woman completely unconcerned with who I am and how much money I make. Mostly because I don’t tell her.

When we pick up back home, I have to tell her the truth. Or at least I should.

Sidelined is a strangers-to-lovers football romance with a cinnamon roll player, a hidden identity, and a celebrity auction that threatens to unravel it all!

Keeping Her Safe Blurb:

Emery
I ran. I ran so fast and so far.

Needing to get away from him and promising myself

I would never trust another with my heart.

Six months later, everything changes when

a mysterious, sexy stranger walks into my salon for a haircut.

He says he wants to keep me safe,

but how can I trust him after the last man that shattered me?

Knox

Walking into her shop shifted my world off its axis.

As soon as I saw her, I knew I wanted her by my side.

Falling in love with her was an adventure I never anticipated.

Gaining her trust is no small feat when her past comes back to haunt her.

She is determined to keep me at an arm’s length,

But I am determined to keep her safe.

Safety Blurb:

Erin is a new bakery owner who is suddenly presented with a choice – alter her life to take custody of her young brother or stand by while he’s placed into the foster system. She’s a young woman who already shoulders a lot of responsibilities, but she knows she’d do anything in her power to keep her brother safe. Even if that means choosing her brother over her fiance.

Graham has been coming to Toothsome Delights for months, harboring a crush on the beautiful woman behind the glass and working up the courage to ask her out. When he realizes she’s volunteered to be the Team Mom for his recreation football team, he knows he’ll do whatever he can to make her see him.

When abusers resurface Erin’s fear makes her hesitant to keep Graham in their lives, but he’ll stop at nothing to protect the two people he’s come to care about more than he thought possible.

Only to Save You Blurb:

Lainey:

She walked into my life the moment I needed her most. On the cusp of a breakup, all I wanted was to be alone, until I met her. Suddenly, she’s all I can think about and I’m questioning everything I’ve known about myself.

Carter:

I didn’t believe in love at first sight until it happened to me. Now the cute barista is the only one on my mind and I’m not even sure if she likes women. The more I get to know her, the more smitten I am. So when she finally agrees to be mine it almost seems too good to be true.

Add in a stalker ex boyfriend and a chance at true love, Only to Save You is a Contemporary romance with some suspense.

Power Play Blurb:

He is playing for keeps…

Jessa Cole’s entire life revolves around hockey. She watches every NHL game, works at a non-profit charity that places kids into minor hockey programs, and finds three hungover AHL hockey players in the apartment that she still owns. Technically. But that non-profit job might become non-existent if she doesn’t get creative fast.

Zach Renshaw, center forward for the Hartford Hammerheads, is finally ready to make his NHL debut. He has trained hard, recovered from an almost career-ending injury, and is now determined to achieve his dream. He won’t let meeting a girl who becomes the only thing he can think about to change his plans…right?

When Zach learns that Jessa works for a charity that is close to his heart, he knows he will do anything to keep the program running. He’s determined to save the charity, but that’s not the only reason he’s getting so involved…

BLURB


You’ve always been mine to love and to hate…


Small towns have a way of making you face your past.
And there’s two sides to every story.
Hawk and Brittney met as kids in a time when they both needed someone.
Their worlds were already in a state of unrest when an unexpected betrayal stripped them bare.
Words of hate were uttered and promises broken, leaving them bitter enemies.
One is left fighting for the truth, while the other is left with nothing but a dream.
But time and distance can’t separate them forever and fate seemingly intervenes.
Lines blur as they realize things may not have been what they seemed, and old feelings are resurrected.
But amid salvaging their connection comes another fight.
Hawk’s murky past catches up to him and Brittney is thrust in the middle, leaving him no choice but to fight once more to save the girl he realizes he’s always loved.
Even if it means destroying her dreams and wrecking her heart.
Fighting for her is the only thing that matters, and this is one battle he won’t lose.
Winner takes heart.

EXCERPTS

#1

She stares at me as her lower lip trembles before finally crawling under the covers. I hear her sniffle as she tries to fight back her emotions. I walk around the bed to where she’s turned on her side so I can see her face. This time she doesn’t meet my eyes, she stares blankly at something behind me.
I kneel and tuck a few loose strands of hair behind her ear. “You mean more to me than anyone ever has, dolcezza. You can trust that.”
She peers at me sadly as she rapidly blinks tears away. “Did you love her? Did she take my place when you left me behind? It was her, wasn’t it?”
“What are you talking about?” I ask.
“Did she get all your firsts, Hawk?” she asks in a pain-stricken tone.
I pull my hand back, unsure how to answer, but my silence is answer enough. I thought I loved Angel back then, but I realize now nothing about it was love. Infatuation and running from my demons landed me in her arms. And regrettably, I did share my first time with her instead of Brittney like I should have. Angel is the definition of deceit. If you look it up in the dictionary, her picture should be beside it.
Brittney closes her eyes, and the tears leak down her nose and into her hair. I attempt to wipe them away, but she whispers a plea, “Please don’t.”
“Baby…” I start.
Her watery gaze focuses on me. “I know you care. I even believe you love me, Hawk. But I don’t think you’re in love with me. Not in the same way I’m in love with you. It’s only ever been you since we were kids.”
I stare at her in surprise. I don’t know how to respond. I do think I’m in love with her, but I’m not going to drag her into what it means to be a Rossi. My grandfather made it clear I owe him for his help. The debt will be settled by taking on the role he thinks I should. My feelings for Brittney can’t save me from that fate.

#2

“I’m here now to lay all my cards out,” he says softly.
“Here are all the facts. I have family in Nashville who may require my attention, but Greendale Valley is home. I love working on Valley B with Tate. I won’t hide anything about my family from you, but at the same time, I won’t ever let anything from that part of my life hurt you. If your dream is to sing, I’m behind you each step of the way. I love that you have the biggest and most giving heart even if it’s been broken. You see the best in people, and I hope you still see that in me. Because I’m in love with you, Brittney,” he tells me as he swipes the tears from under my eyes with his thumbs.
“There is no fight more worthy of winning than the one for your heart…to be your last and forever,” he adds with a hopeful smile.
I let out a sob or a laugh, to be honest, I’m not sure which. I grab his face on each side and pull his lips to mine. He drops his hands to my legs and hoists me up, so they wrap around his waist.
The same moment we found each other was the same moment we were knocked to the ground…literally.

A.B. Medley lives in Tennessee with the love of her life and two sons. Her husband stole her heart when she was sixteen and their relationship is one of those meant to be love stories you find in magazines and novels.

She is a dental hygienist who loves to read and has always dabbled in writing. When she’s not making people’s smiles shine, she enjoys belting out songs with her boys, dancing, raspberries, baseball, and anything vintage. Like any proper Tennessean, Sundrop is her drink of choice.

She loves her family and friends fiercely and believes in always chasing your dreams.

Deception in the Truth is her debut novel—but now she’s hooked, and there’s more to come.

Kilted Hearts Book 4

Kait Nolan

Release Date: August 11

 

A captive who dreams of her freedom

In public, violinist Elizabeth Duncan is the toast of the entertainment world. A prodigy who’s been wowing audiences with her music since she was only twelve years old. But behind closed doors, she’s desperate to escape the man who’s turned her passion into a prison. When the specter of violence becomes more than a threat, she sacrifices everything to run.

A hero lost without a mission.

Former special forces operative Ewan McBride has done everything he’s supposed to since leaving the military: Moved home. Bought a new business. Integrated into the community. But he’s just going through the motions. Until he rescues a woman in trouble in the midst of a terrible storm.

A sanctuary and an unexpected new beginning.

Ewan recognizes a woman on the run and can’t resist the urge to help. The danger from her past is certain to come calling. The safest place for her? With him. But as they live and work together, what starts as a self-appointed protective detail becomes so much more. With her, he finds his own safe place to land. But when their fragile fresh start is threatened, he’ll do anything to protect her.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I thoroughly enjoyed this latest book in the Kilted Hearts series!

We’d met Ewan previously in earlier books and while reading Protector in a Kilt it felt as if he was just going through the motions, existing but not really living ….. until he met Isobel.

Isobel, she was genuinely lovely. Having lost her family and, to all extents, having been held captive allowed only to focus on her craft, it was truly great seeing her slip into a new life in the village. Being treated like on of the locals and blossoming in her newfound freedom.

This pair were exactly what they each needed but hadn’t realised they were missing. Saying that, is there something in the water in Glenlaig that makes all the blokes a bit dense at times?? Communication in a relationship, especially a new one, is vital, something these lads should be passing on to their mates as soon as they discover this nugget of information themselves!!!

The intrigue in the story made for good reading and while I understood why Isobel didn’t try to find out what was happening around her, I did think that natural human instinct to know what to expect would have been stronger – but having the chance to be ‘normal’ was possibly a bigger draw for her and I get that!!!

As ever with this series we catch up with family (both blood and found) who do their bit, helping out and protecting their own where they can. I think one of my favourite things about Kait’s books is that sense of family, community and belonging that she writes so well.

That epilogue. I can’t wait to see how things go for Ewan & Isobel going forward. There were a few wee comments made during the read and some new faces introduced and I’m hoping (with everything crossed) that we’re gonna either get a few more books in the series or a wee spin off to find out more about Ewan’s buddies.

This instalment ended on an interesting note that sets us up for Single Dad in a Kilt….. I cannot wait for Afton & Hamish’s story….. I’ve got so many questions that I need answered!!!!

NEW RELEASE – The Trouble with Runaway Brides (Lake Starlight #3) by Piper Rayne

The Trouble with Runaway Brides (Lake Starlight #3) by Piper Rayne is now live!

I should not still be hung up on my high school girlfriend.

I’m a billionaire, with a penthouse in New York City, a private plane, and was recently crowned one of Manhattan’s most eligible bachelors.

She’s engaged to my rival. A real prick of a guy whose family is about as famous as mine. So, pictures of the happy couple are plastered everywhere, and it’s driving me insane.

The last time I spoke to her was my freshman year of college, and I never imagined I’d bump into her at a crowded restaurant in the busiest city in the world. But fate had other plans, and when I innocently suggest that the press wouldn’t bother with her wedding plans if she held it in our small Alaskan town where we grew up, I had no idea she’d take me seriously.

Now, I find myself helping her plan the wedding at my dad’s luxury resort while the town’s gossip app follows our every move, afraid that their golden boy will get his heart broken twice by the same girl.

But that’s impossible because she stole my heart when we were fifteen, and never gave it back.
