PROMISE ME THIS

Wilder Family #3

Karla Sorensen

Release Date: May 9

Blurb

Imagine this: an author with a raging case of writer’s block finds an unexpected source of inspiration in her grumpy, gorgeous new roommate. Sounds amazing, right? Except that new roommate is my childhood best friend. And Ian Wilder has been off-limits since I was five.

It’s been over a decade since I’ve seen him, but when I return to my hometown after years away, Ian’s exactly the man I remembered. The same guy who gave me his coat on a playground when we were kids and promised he’d take care of me forever. I need a quiet place to work with this deadline looming. I need a place where my daughter can unwind. Enter Ian with an offer I can’t refuse: his spare bedroom.

It’s an easy yes. Except now the problem is I can’t stop thinking about him, and these thoughts? They’re wandering out of the friend zone. I keep imagining very creative ways to rip off his clothes. And Ian starts giving me looks of his own, the kind that make my heart race.

One night, we cross a line we can’t uncross. The lines have blurred, and our friendship is hanging by a thread.

Imagine this: a woman falling for her best friend. And she has no idea if he feels the same.

BLURB

When you think life can’t get worse, the universe says: hold my beer.

Anastasia

This forty-five-year-old honey badger shifter is newly single and ready to mingle.

And freaking tired of playing small.

The fantastic news? I’m no longer alone. I have a sister and an entire birth family in Hoodoo, Texas. But with some new unexplainable powers, I may be too big of a freak for even my vampire aunt to accept.

The bad news? The sadistic honey badger clan I fled twenty-five years ago has found me. Someone else is trying to kill me. And if their threats of kidnapping, forced mating, and death weren’t enough…

I’m going into heat. Of course, the only viable candidate to offer a… helping hand is my escort to Texas–a grumpy werewolf who doesn’t even like me.

Carlos

I’m in San Diego to make the long-lost sister of my former high school sweetheart disappear—by any means possible. Instead, I discover that not only is the sister her identical twin, but my fated mate.

Now, my mission is to get the violent ball of sunshine to Hoodoo, where she’ll become someone else’s problem. That should be easy enough because I’m a wolf with a plane, a plan, and a purpose. What could go wrong?

How about everything?

Midlife Gumbo is the third book in the Boudin, Barbecue, and Hoodoo series. While it’s part of the larger world, this full-length paranormal romance is a stand-alone.

If you love road trips, laughter, and grumpy sunshine stories, then you’ll love Midlife Gumbo. This novel is high in humor and medium in spice and perfect for fans of Darynda Jones, Mandy Roth, and K.F. Breene.

AUTHOR BIO

Something about magic, action, and the supernatural calls to my wicked soul. I enjoy most genre fiction, but am drawn to heroines like me and my weird circle of friends: not that slim, not that young, and even a wee bit cranky. But we also find joy and laughter, even in the darkest times.

I fill my books with adventure, magic, loss, love, and inclusive casts.

Okay, now the personal stuff.

I married my first boyfriend who survived the four-month mark. Since we’ve been hitched for over thirty-seven years, I think he just might stick. The cats? Well, he’s too spoiled and stubborn to move off the couch.

Title: Jasper

Series: Broken Falls, #3

Author: Laramie Briscoe

Genre: Small Town Contemporary Romance

Release Date: May 24, 2024

Book Blurb:

I never thought my fake marriage, would become real…

Jasper Hamilton

I’ve always been a pawn in the game of chess my grandfather prefers to play with me. It started when I was a child who didn’t have anywhere else to go after my parents were killed.

Gone was my home full of love and warmth, and in its place was a mansion with a man as cold as a winter night.

The only thing that kept me sane were my friends. Those blue-collar buddies who didn’t care about my grandpa’s bank account.

I never cared about the money either. Until he threatens to take away the one thing I love in this world. The foundation created in their memory. The only way for me to get it back? Play by his rules, take a wife, and secure an heir.

Something I never planned to do after growing up the way I did. But the way I respond to Daisy Williams, and the satisfaction I get from calling her my wife makes me feel like I’ve been promoted from Pawn to King.

COVER & EXCERPT REVEAL – Bromantic Puckboy (Puckboys #6) by Eden Finley & Saxon James

Mar 20

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

BROMANTIC PUCKBOY

Puckboys – Book Six

by Eden Finley & Saxon James

Release Date: April 18, 2024

Cover Design: Story Styling Cover Designs
Photographer: Wander Aguiar Photography
Model: Ben

Genre: M/M Sports Romance Standalone
Trope: Double bi-awakening, idiots to lovers, eccentric hockey players, anti-wingman, PR headache, secret relationship

Synopsis

Bilson

The idea of moving away from Seattle was a joke at first.

I have too many failed relationships here. Too much baggage.

So when I find myself signing with Nashville and leaving everything behind, I’m hopeful a new start will cure me of my attachment problems.

I fall fast and hard, and I’m quickly realizing it’s not so easy to escape my emotional damage. That follows no matter where I go.

When my new teammate, rookie goalie Miles Olsen, attaches himself to my side, the media are excited to exploit our bromance. Little do they know, he’s doing me a favor by keeping me away from making mistakes with women.

That’s the deal we made at the beginning of the season, but as time goes on, and we’re both going through a dry spell, Miles suggests a different arrangement. One I’ve never contemplated. One I shouldn’t consider.

One I can’t stop thinking about.

Miles

My first day as starting goalie for Tennessee is made mildly more terrifying by coming face to face with NHL veteran Cody Bilson. Hero worship? Me? Never!

He reminds me of my old frat buddies; loyal, kind, easy to trade banter with. But my dude is lost and trying to find himself again–without getting married this time.

I want to help him, and while my suggestion might not be conventional, it sure as hell is effective. The only way to make sure he doesn’t marry a woman again? Blow off steam with a man instead.

We’re both straight, we’re both single, and we’re both down for a good time.

After all, what are teammates for?

Excerpt

“Hey, babe?” Aleks says into his phone while the two of us hide in the bushes across the street from my ex-wife’s house the prenup agreement bought her. “I’m going to be home late. We have to rescue a rookie player from a cougar.” There’s a pause before he laughs. “No, not a literal cougar, but by the look of her, she does want to eat him alive.”

“Shh.” I softly backhand him. “If anyone sees us out here, we’ll get arrested.”

Dennan didn’t come on this side excursion because his new wife was at the bar with the other WAGs, but Aleks said he didn’t want to miss this mess.

Silly me thinking he was here for support.

Hadley doesn’t close the blinds as she leads Miles into the bedroom which is on the second floor. The lights are on, and my stomach churns. Is he going to hook up with her? How far is he willing to take this hairbrained idea?

I don’t want to watch that.

Hadley steps closer to Miles, but at about a foot away, Miles puts his hands on her hips and holds her steady.

“Oh fuck, they’re going to kiss, aren’t they?”

“Turn away if you don’t want to see,” Aleks says.

“I want to, but it’s like a car wreck. I can’t not look at it.”

When their lips touch, I screw up my face.

“Sorry, man,” Aleks says. “Maybe your new bestie is actually a psychopath and wants you to be seeing this.”

Just before I start to believe that, Miles breaks the kiss, says something, and then Hadley turns and walks into the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

Miles frantically takes out his phone and looks out into the darkness in our general vicinity. He knows we’re here. My phone vibrates a second later.

Rookie:

Where’s the dog?

CB:

She usually locks him away in the laundry when she goes out or has company.

Rookie:

On it.

He turns and tiptoes out of the room, looking ridiculous, and it makes me laugh. He’s trying to be light-footed, but we’re fucking hockey players. We wouldn’t know how to do anything lightly. But I’ll give him props, he’s quick.

My heart is in my throat, beating erratically, when my phone vibrates again.

Rookie:

I can’t find a dog, only a rat-looking thing. It doesn’t even have any fur.

CB:

That’s him! Quick get out of there.

Rookie:

Come get him from the front door.

“Fuck, we’re moving,” I say to Aleks.

We get up and run across the street, reaching the front just as Miles opens the door and hands me my baby. I have to hold in my shriek of excitement.

Killer starts licking me and going nuts. He lets out a yip, and I can’t help it. “Aww” falls from my lips.

“Leave before she gets out of the shower,” Miles says.

“You’re going to stay?” I yell.

“Teammates should share everything. Is ex-wives not on that list?”

This is one of those times where I can’t tell if he’s being his weirdo goalie self or serious.

He grins. Okay weird goalie self.

The water upstairs shuts off.

His face falls. “Shit. She’s out. Let’s get the fuck out of here.” He slams the door shut, and she for sure knows now that she’s been ditched. All three of us sprint across the street and jump into Aleks’s car. He gets it started and speeds away before there’s any sign of Hadley.

My heart is still racing, Miles is laughing his head off in the back seat, but I’m happier than I’ve been in such a long time.

I have my Killer back.

“Are you sure that’s even a dog?” Miles asks.

“He’s a Chinese Crested and so freaking adorable.” I hug the little guy who struggles excitedly in my arms.

“If you say so,” Miles mutters.

“Hey, question,” Aleks says. “How are you going to smuggle that thing on the team plane? Aren’t you guys on a week-long road trip?”

Miles and I look at each other, neither of us with an answer.

Miles runs a hand through his blond hair. “I kinda didn’t think that far ahead.”

Aleks laughs. “You guys are fucked.”

BLURB:

When love melts the ice, numbers fade into the background. Welcome to the Carolina Fury, where passion thaws even the most frozen hearts.

Lorelai Hollis dreams of finishing college, getting a decent job, and not much else. Numbers are what she knows best. They are her life and future.

Numbers are predictable.

They are stable.

They are constant.

When a whole houseful of drop-dead-gorgeous men move in across the street, she knows she doesn’t stand a chance with any of them, not when they see the goddess roommates she lives with.

Redd Tillman is the newest contracted player with the North Carolina Fury AHL hockey team and is well on his way to the NHL.

He doesn’t do complicated.

He doesn’t do dating.

His focus is only on the ice.

Everything else is just white noise.

Tropes: He Falls First/Small Town Romance

BLURB

Fortune may favor the bold, but lately, it hasn’t favored Bree Faust.

Raised in the neon-lit embrace of Fortuna Casino & Resort, Bree is a twenty-two-year-old with more than a smattering of freckles and a sense of loyalty that runs deep. When change is thrust upon her again, she finds herself at a major crossroads and is torn between embracing her legacy as Lady Luck or drawing a card for a new life filled with unknowns.

Enter Vinh Lott, a twenty-nine-year-old with a fierce protective streak and a heart scarred by fire. A reserved software engineer moonlighting at his parents’ new restaurant, Vinh is the steady rock Bree never knew she needed. When fate brings them together in the chaos of the casino, Bree faces the biggest gamble of her life—trusting Vinh to be both her anchor and safe harbor in the greatest storm she has ever faced.

As obstacles loom, from Bree’s demanding grandmother, the return of an antagonistic former friend, and the temporary nature of Vinh’s stay on the coast, their love story unfolds against the glittering backdrop of a casino resort. Will Bree and Vinh beat the odds, or will they lose it all in the grand game of love?

AUTHOR BIO

Lane O’Neil is a former enneagram Type 2 and current enneagram Type 9 (Cancer sign, if you must know) who loves change. You can just ask her husband—who is asked to rearrange their living room furniture every seven business weeks—to verify that statement.

Born, raised, and forever resident of Atlanta-ish, Georgia, she loves egg rolls, blankies, and her four dogs—a feisty mutt and three pitties, or “senior pitizens.”

Lane rekindled her love of reading during the tumultuous, emotional trench warfare time of her life known as the postpartum period after she had her first and only son in 2021.

That renewed spark led her to link up with indie authors as an alpha and beta reader, which eventually led to a crazy idea—one that had never once crossed her mind before.

What if she tried to write something?

Once her mortifying flashback to completing the writing portion of her SATs in 2009 was done and she took a shower to wash off the nervous sweats, she opened a document and began writing.

Model: Luke Matthews

Discreet Cover Design: Y’all That Graphic

Genre: Contemporary Romance Standalone
Trope: Frenemies to lovers, pregnancy scare, small town

Synopsis

There’s a thin line between love and hate. Good thing I have excellent balance.

If only that was enough.

Willa Hayes and I have a long history. We went from friends to enemies to frenemies…with benefits. The benefits part is our secret though.

Not how I’d prefer it, but after what I did, I’m lucky she still talks to me at all.

Our chemistry is undeniable. An addictive push and pull that has taken on a life of its own. One that fuels the long burning flame deep within me.

None of our friends have any idea that she and I have been sneaking around for the better part of a decade. Neither does anyone else in our small Georgia town. And if word were to get out, that would be the end of us.

That is, until Willa drops a bomb I never saw coming. It’s the last thing I expected – but also the perfect chance to show her who I really am. To be the man I wasn’t ten years ago. The man she deserves.

This is our chance for a happy ending. It’s now or never. As long as I don’t screw it up again.

Excerpt

I may hate him with the fire of Shakespeare’s thousand suns, but man, can Nash Keller kiss.

All my fury and annoyance, the flood of negative emotions that were flowing a second ago, are now taking a backseat. They’re still there, but suddenly pushed aside by something else.

Desire.

My insides light up like the sky on New Year’s Eve, each beat of my pulse a new firework exploding. And all he’s done is kiss me.

My knees wobble as Nash’s hand slides to my ass, his massive palm the perfect size to cup a cheek. As he gives it a squeeze, I moan into our kiss, unable to control myself. I give in, letting him control the pace, still desperate for more. He squeezes again, this time a little harder, and I come alive.

As if he can read my mind, he deepens the kiss, his other hand finding my backside, hoisting me up. Instinctively I wrap my legs around his waist, my core making contact with the bulge already forming in his pants, and that’s all it takes.

I’m ready to go.

I grind my hips against him, seeking the high that only he can give me. Nash Keller is a drug. One that I’ve been addicted to since I was a teenager, unable to give up, even though I know how bad it is for me. I’ve tried to convince myself there are worse vices out there than him—real drugs, for instance—because deep down I know this man will be my undoing.

In fact, we might already be there.

His touch feels too good for that to be a worry right now. In this moment, the only thing I care about is getting him naked.

I claw at his shirt, our mouths still fused together in forceful, messy kisses, the thin, soft fabric malleable in my hands. Each time I try to pull back from his claim on my lips so I can focus on taking his shirt off, Nash stops me. His tongue dances with mine, sending lightning straight to my core, my clit already throbbing with anticipation.

I need him naked. Now.

Digging my nails into the cotton, I yank at it, the threads giving way easily, like a hot knife through butter. The ripping sound cuts through the air, finally getting Nash’s attention.

Looking down in between us then up again, I watch as his eyes darken, brow furrowing. “This shirt was a gift, Princess.”

“From me,” I remind him pointedly. I glide my finger down his chest, in between his pecs, licking my lips.

A wicked smile takes over from his scowl, sending another shot of lightning through me. It’s the exact same smile he gave me when he opened the gift that Christmas a few years back—Kenzie, Sylvie, the twins, and I all gathered in the small living room of his and Noel’s house—before Dustin’s return and the rest of our friends coupling off. The dark gray shirt, complete with a cartoon cow and the words “Man-ure hot” had gotten a good laugh out of everyone. But only Nash had understood the secret message behind it.

One he properly thanked me for later.

“Still, you’re gonna pay for that.”

I shiver, my body continuing to betray me. Because I want every bit of whatever he’s about to dole out. My head tells me it’s a bad idea, but it’s getting vetoed. The physical connection between us is too strong.

Without another word, Nash twists, depositing me on the bed. My eyes are glued to him as he rips the shirt the rest of the way off, showing off his impressively chiseled chest. His gaze holds me in place, my breath slowing as he undoes his belt, then flicks the button of his jeans open, the whole thing a choreographed dance designed to turn me on.

Letting his jeans drop to the floor, Nash steps out of them, leaving him in nothing. Absolutely nothing. My eyes dance up and down his long, lean body, mouth watering at the sight of him like this.

Fuck me, is he a thing of beauty.

COVER REVEAL – Love Hard : A Memoir by Monica James

Mar 12

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Title: Love Hard
A Memoir
Author: Monica James

Genre: Creative Non-Fiction
Cover Design: Sommer Stein
Perfect Pear Creative Covers
Photographer: Michelle Lancaster
Release Date: May 15, 2024

BLURB

If love is an addiction, your first love is the first hit.

How many of you remember your first love?

Because falling in love for the first time…I remember that. And that’s the thing about your first love—we all have a love story.

But this isn’t a love story.
This is a life story.
The good.
The bad.
The heartache.
It’s all here.

Love is truly a battlefield…

Love is scary, and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. When you love someone wholeheartedly, you leave yourself open to being destroyed…and that’s what I did, what I still do even though I know better.

But it doesn’t make a difference.

The best kind of love doesn’t make sense. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt.

This one-in-a-million story is mine, and if you take anything away from this book, it would be to never be afraid to love.

So, let me introduce myself. You may call me Z.
Buckle up, besties, because this will be a bumpy ride.

Love hits you when you least expect it.

Are you ready for the fall?

COVER REVEAL – Scars on my Heart (Willow Valley #5) by S.L. Sterling

Mar 8

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Title: Scars on my Heart

Series: Willow Valley #5

Author: S.L. Sterling

Cover Design: Thunderstruck Cover Design

Release Date: March 28, 2024

Tropes: Single Dad, Single Mom, Friends to Lovers, small town romance, second chance at love, only one bed scene

Blurb:

Willow Valley had become like home to me and my two boys, Dylan and Noah. Everyone knew everyone in this small town, and they helped us heal from our devastating loss.

Once I knew my kids would be okay, I started looking for work. Bluebird Books hired me almost right away. I was to run the new kids program that Trinity was starting. That was where I met Zach and his daughter, Grace.

Zach was the new owner of the Willow Valley Inn. He’d come in to return a book his daughter had borrowed from the program. We exchanged pleasantries and that was when the computer had gone down. Zach lost his patience, and that was when our pleasant conversation turned sour. I wasn’t worried about it because I figured I’d never see him again.

I was wrong. It turns out in a small town, everyone sees everyone almost daily, if not twice a day. At the grocery store, the gas station, the elementary school and as luck would have it, the bookstore. Soon, our conversations turn pleasant again, and without even trying, I find myself drawn to him. Then he asks me out on a date.

Despite my reservations, I decided to take a chance on love again. But just when things start to look up, Zach’s ex-wife suddenly reappears, causing chaos in his life once more. Which somehow causes chaos in mine when my children begin acting out.

Leaning on one another for support, we navigate obstacles that life throws at us. As time passes I begin to wonder if another chance at love will bring us closer together or make each one of us run the other way?
