COVER REVEAL – Flame (Carmichael Family #5) by Adriana Locke

Adriana Locke has revealed the gorgeous cover for Flame!

Releasing: November 2, 2023

Blurb:

Wanted: A Marriage of Convenience

I swore I would only get married if my life depended on it. 

Oh, the irony. 

Because the universe took that as a challenge, I’m now in the market for a husband. But if I’m going to be stuck in a temporary marriage, I want it to be with the right man. 

I might as well try to enjoy this experience, right? 

Considering the circumstances, I need a protector—someone who will throw down for his short-term wife with no questions asked. He’ll be fit. Intelligent. My potential short-term husband will have a dry sense of humor. And, if I’m dreaming big, he’ll be drop-dead gorgeous and a little grumpy. Hot, grumpy men are so attractive. 

I mean, if a marriage of convenience is the only way out of this precarious situation, I may as well look for a perfect, broody bodyguard, right? 

It could be fun. Lots of fun. 

Especially if the one man I know who fits the bill will play along.

But, if Foxx Carmichael does agree to this crazy plan, for better or worse, death might do us part in a whole other way.

Blurb:

Turns out the gorgeous woman I had a one-night stand with is not only my sister’s best friend but also my new employee.

Worse? I shared a whole lot more with Avery than one mind-blowing night.

I told her my deepest, darkest secret.

Despite my constant worry that she’ll let the truth slip to my family, I can’t stay away from her. And when we’re tossed together for an out of town trip and forced to share a room with only one bed, the chemistry between us finally explodes…again.

I have no problem making her see stars—or breaking the bed. The trouble is, the longer our secret relationship goes on, the more I want to keep her.

But she’s eight years my junior, the sunshine to my grump, and I know her free spirit wants more than the small town of Starlight Cove can offer.

I have no doubt no one will ever give her more pleasure than I will, but I refuse to hold her back. Even if that means letting her go when her three month contract is up.

The truth and lies that bind the Aspen Pack together are crumbling and I am to bear witness to its fate.

Author: Lacey Black


Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Single Dad/Second Chance/Small Town
Release Date: September 26, 2023

BLURB

Tucker

I spend my days brewing beer for the popular Brew Crüe Beer Company and my nights devoted to being a dad. Raising a young child with special needs can be tough and stressful, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. He’s everything to me, and the reason I keep going. It’s him and me against the world, and I have no intention of changing that.

Then, Kinsley McGregor walks back into my life.

Letting her go all those years ago was the hardest thing I had ever done, and having her here proves how good we are. Unfortunately, her Nashville life is calling, and I will have to let her go again.

This time, it’s not just my heart I risk, but my four-year-old son’s too.


Kinsley

My entire life explodes on television for the whole world to witness. After my husband’s public affair throughout the course of my very first headlining tour, I retreat to my safe haven: Stewart Grove. I need a place to lick my wounds and figure out my next step, without being under the watchful eye of the paparazzi, and I find it in my hometown.

I wasn’t planning to reconnect the man I left behind, along with his adorable son.

Tucker Dunn was everything I ever wanted before I went to Nashville to chase my country music dreams. Leaving him in Stewart Grove wasn’t easy, but it was the path we chose together.

Now, I stare down the same choices; only this time, the decision will be harder to make.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

This series just keeps getting better!!!

I’ve loved the books that Lacey Black has given us until now, and tbh, I didn’t think any of the main characters could be more of a favorite than the original Brew Crue, but Lacey keeps on surprising me and giving me new faves with each read.

We knew from a previous read that Kinsley was Kellan’s little sister, Kellan being Tucker’s best friend.
Tucker and Kinsley were a couple when they were younger but Kins left to chase her music career and Tucker stayed in Stewart’s Grove.
Kinsley has been doing great and was happy in her career until an embarrassing incident in her private life had her heading home to SG to hide out and reassess.

First time seeing each other once Kins was back home, even though it was a quick interaction, let them both see that they still had feelings.
I loved how they both had things to think about, talked a lot, were logical and started out again as friends. Their relationship grew organically throughout the story and I was rooting for them all the way.

The best thing for me was Kinsley’s reaction to and relationship with Grayson, Tucker’s son. She was awesome with him and the little guy adored her in return. Scenes with the three of them were some of my favorites to read.

There was a ton of heat, connection, sense of belonging and rightness in this read. As ever we caught up with the guys from the bar and their significant others, which is always fun! I was hooked from beginning to end.

I do hope that Lacey heads back to Stewart Grove and the Crew at some point in the future but until then I’m looking forward to what she’s got coming next!!

BLOG TOUR – Infamous Park Avenue Prince (Park Avenue Princes #1) by Ella Frank & Brooke Blaine

INFAMOUS PARK AVENUE PRINCE

Park Avenue Princes #1

by Ella Frank & Brooke Blaine

Release Date: September 21, 2023

Cover Design: Hang Le
Photographer: Ren Saliba

Genre: M/M Romance Standalone


Trope: Biawakening, virgin/golden boy, playboy, bet, revenge, new guy, secret relationship

Synopsis

Who are we? Like you even need to ask. We’re the seven richer-than-sin legacies causing debauchery at the prestigious Astor University in Manhattan.
Some call us spoiled.
Some call us trouble.
But everyone calls us the Park Avenue Princes.

Weston LaRue
“The Playboy”

I’m never one to turn down a bet. Especially not when it comes to retaliating against the dean for pulling a dick move before summer break.
So when the dean’s golden child arrives at Astor for his freshman year, my fellow troublemakers throw down a wager I can’t resist.

The target: the dean’s son, John Thomas Hawthorne, or “JT.”
The bet: corruption in any way I choose.

It should’ve been easy. With his mess of brown curls, pouty lips, and good-boy reputation, JT is the perfect revenge. And even better? He’s straight.

Challenge accepted. I’ll do whatever it takes to prove a point, no matter how reckless it might be.

Game. On.

Release Date: October 19, 2023

Genre: Contemporary Romance (can be read as a standalone)

Tropes: Small Town Romance, Second Chance at Love, Brothers best friend, Widower

Cover Design: Thunderstruck Cover Design

Blurb:

Darling Ranch. It was a family name in this town, a family business and a family way of life.

Over the past year, the place hadn’t felt like family, or home, and I was barely staying in business.

My wife had died from an aneurysm while pregnant with our first child. It happened one morning while I was out in the field tending to the animals. The doctors told me it wouldn’t have mattered had I been by her side, the outcome would have been the same. Still, I beat myself up. My best friend and neighbor, Gabe Bentley knew this. He let me mourn my own way, but now he’s pushing me harder than ever.

“What’s the rush?” I asked him one morning.

“I’m being deployed. I need to know my sister and the farm are taken care of….by the only man I trust in this town…you.”

I’d known the army was recruiting again but I didn’t know he’d been called upon. I also didn’t know Cadence was back in town. I really didn’t know if I could be the man, the friend, the rancher that he needed me to be.

What I did know?

No matter how much it pained me, I’d try to do whatever it took to make sure that I didn’t let Gabe down.

Then I saw Cadence and for the first time since my wife died I actually thought I could heal. She made me feel alive, made the pain go away. So why did I feel so guilty? One minute I was longing to hold her, the next I was pushing her away, until I finally pushed too hard and sent her running.

I didn’t want to fail my best friend, and I didn’t want to fail Cadence. We all needed our Christmas wish and I decided to do whatever it took to make sure we got it.

BLURB:

Love wasn’t the daily special when a grumpy small-town baker delivers a baby in his bakery. Now, all he can think about is that sweet bundle and her tempting single mother.

Having a baby in a bakery gives new meaning to taking the bun out of the oven.

I’d been in Curmudgeon Bakery for one of those lemon baby-Bundt cakes I’d been craving since I found out I was pregnant.

The draw had nothing to do with the baker himself. Tall, tatted, and edgy, looking more like a biker than a man who makes baked goods. I hardly knew him other than taking a tumble in a rainstorm in front of his shop . . . and then tossing myself at him after he rescued me.

We shared a moment but it’s not what you’d think.

Months later, he delivered my baby among his cookies and cakes. Talk about a second chance encounter.

Then he whips up a plan to pretend to be my baby’s father, and everything heats up from there.

My body.

My heart.

My willingness to accept a perfect stranger’s kindness despite him telling me over and over he isn’t who I think he is.

I beg to differ.

He’s that sugary drizzle on a citrus-flavored, guilty pleasure that’s bad for the hips, but together—him, and me, and baby—we’re the perfect blend of ingredients that might do all our hearts some good.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I LOVED this story.

I’ve started the Manhunt series and got to book 3 (I’ll finish the brothers’ books soon!!) but I really wanted to read Daniel and Melly’s book so I skipped ahead. I’m so glad I did!

Their initial interactions were amusing. Daniel’s reaction when he realised how wrong he’d been… that was great!

I really liked Daniel. I got where he was coming from and why he had set in motion his plans…. Poor soul just didn’t see the shy quiet librarian coming!!

Melly!! Ho, boy!! …. I FLOVED Melly. She might have been innocent in one way but that gal KNEW what she wanted and went for it wholeheartedly. I was entertained by how much she threw Daniel off with what he expected her to be or say and what actually came out of her mouth!

Set over a really short time period, this didn’t detract from their story at all and the whole story and characters were fleshed out, made for excellent reading and it all finished really well… as you’d expect from Vanessa Vale!!!!

Hoping there’s more in this series to come!

Jade

Once upon a time Cain Bishop and I were inseparable. All through high school we were two peas in the proverbial pod, but then I did something he’ll never forgive. Now, he’s going to lose custody of his half-sister unless he comes up with a bride, STAT. I’ll do whatever he needs, even be his wife of convenience. I’m prepared for him to be indifferent or platonic, but nothing could have prepared me for the hungry way he looks at me.

Cain

There was a time, when I was young, that I would have done anything to make Jade Larson my wife. Even knowing she’s way too good for me; a curvaceous princess used to the finer things in life I’ll never be able to give her. When she went behind my back and did something I can’t ever forgive, I forced myself to walk away from her, but I never stopped wanting her. Now, I have to swallow my damn pride and marry her for the sake of keeping custody of my half-sister. How am I supposed to keep my hands off Jade once she’s my bride, when every instinct I have demands that I claim her, body and soul?

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

This was a fun, short read from Kat Baxter. She’s definitely one of my go to authors when I need a pickmeup!!

Cain was a grump who lost the love of his life through miscommunication and pride. He got so much wrong and I was kinda peeved at him for a bit regarding him feeling like he couldn’t trust Jade without even talking to her about the issue!

Jade was a sweetheart who loved those people important to her and showed them in the best way she felt she could. She was willing to jump in and help out Cain and Sasha, his little sister, without knowing what she was setting herself up for.

The reason behind their falling out was sad – I know personally how much of an impact what they were facing can have on your life….. I was glad Cain finally found out the truth about everything and got his act together – though maybe Jade should have made him work harder…… and maybe she would have had his Cain’s little sister’s welfare not been in the line!!

Definitely a book and series I’d recommend.

SYNOPSIS:

A forbidden age gap stand-alone from small town romance author Brooke Montgomery about a daring horse trainer and her off-limits ex-boyfriend’s dad…

When we met at the rodeo, I only knew his first name.

Sparks ignited between us, and we spent an unforgettable night together. It’s not until the morning after when I recognize his last name do I realize who he is.

So I do what any rational woman would and make the walk of shame while he sleeps. 

It’s not like I’ll ever see him again or have to explain why I left.

But I’m proven wrong when he shows up at my family’s ranch as the new farrier.

We can’t be more than friends—for many reasons. 

He’s twice my age, workplace relationships are off-limits, and he moved back to rebuild a relationship with his son—the one I used to date. 

Getting involved would ruin everything.

As we struggle between right and wrong, our connection deepens even though his traumatic past makes him doubt he deserves a second chance. 

But it doesn’t matter when everything’s against us, including a rival who’s out to get me and my ex who’s determined to win me back.

After a riding trick goes wrong on his watch, he insists on taking care of me. Even though the odds are stacked against us, we keep the truth to ourselves.

But secrets don’t stay hidden for long in a Southern small town.

Here With Me is book 1 in the Sugarland Creek series. Contains 20+ year age gap, ex-boyfriend’s dad, workplace romance, opposites attract, and secret relationship vibes. Each book in this Southern, small town series is a stand-alone and ends in a happily ever after. Please read the content warning before the prologue.
