Ellie

Being a single mom is the most challenging, yet rewarding job I’ve ever had. Especially in a small town, where everyone knows your story, or at least their version of it.

They say it takes a village, and they’re right. I’ve been lucky to have close friends to help me raise my son, Brody. One particular friend stands out above the rest. TD stepped up in a big way, teaching my son everything a father should. That’s why his friendship means so much to me. Brody and I both rely on his friendship. Any feelings I have for my sexy friend must stay buried. It’s safer that way.

Turns out, it’s much harder to do when he decides he’s done being just my friend. He wants more.


TD

There’s nothing worse than being in lust with one of your friends. For years, I’ve been fighting my attraction to Ellie and keeping it a secret. I thought I was doing what was best for all of us.

Between working as the local police officer and coaching high school football, I’m left with very little downtime, but what I do have is spent with Ellie and her son. When I find out the seventeen-year-old boy might be working to get this football coach and his mom together, all bets are off. With Brody on my side, I’m willing to take the chance and blur the lines between friends and lovers.

I have to make her see we can have it all. Despite her reservations, I’ll show her love is worth the risk.

RELEASE BOOST – Fallen PreyDuet: Parallel Prey #2 by Jen Stevens


Title: Fallen Prey
Duet: Parallel Prey #2
Author: Jen Stevens


Genre: Dark Suspenseful Romance
Tropes: Stalker/Serial Killer, Secret Society
Second Chance, Star Crossed Lovers
Release Date: November 2, 2023

BLURB

I’ve stared into the face of Death, falling victim to her deceptively sweet lullaby. Until she released me from her icy grip without any warning, sending me stumbling back out the other side to continue on as if nothing happened.


When I come to in the hospital as their mysterious John Doe, I discover that the past year of my life never happened at all.

But I remember all of it. Every drop of blood shed, every life lost, every bullet fired.

I’ve been propelled back into a personal hell where I’m fraternizing with the very men whose souls I’ve coaxed from their bodies.

Where the woman I love has no idea who I am.

Where the driving force behind my revenge is alive and well, and has taken it upon herself to make sorting out my new reality increasingly difficult.

I’m reliving each day as if it hasn’t already happened while everyone around me remains oblivious to the truth. My sole objective is preventing history from repeating itself, and I’m failing miserably.

Perhaps I’m death incarnate. Perhaps I’m the embodiment of life.

Either way, I plan to set the scales straight, reclaim my precious little lamb, and take back what’s rightfully mine.

Title: Fooling the Forward
Series: Charleston Coyotes #4
Author: Jacob Chance

Genre: Sports Romance (Hockey)
Tropes: Brother’s Teammate/Secret Relationship
Release Date: November 8, 2023

BLURB

Ryder Goode has been my celebrity crush since he signed on with the Charleston Coyotes. Watching him race around the ice has become a favorite pastime of mine.

Despite him being one of my brother’s teammates, we’ve never met. At least not until he cashes in on the prize he won in a charity auction—one weekend with me as his personal chef.

During those two days, every preconceived notion I have about him gets annihilated, leaving me wanting to learn more about the kind and generous man.

So when he asks me to stay on as his full-time chef, I accept. And when the two of us can’t keep our hands off each other, I warn him I’ll never fall for him.

Even though it’s too late—I already have.

Although I might be trying to fool the forward, it turns out, I’m only fooling myself.

NEW RELEASE – His Wicked Ways (The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside #5) by Melissa Foster

HIS WICKED WAYS

The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside #5

Melissa Foster

Releasing Nov 8, 2023

World Literary Press

Blurb:

Blaine Wicked is used to women doing as he says in and out of the bedroom. Find out happens when he falls for the one woman who won’t submit to his wicked ways in the newest insanely sexy, deeply emotional, and laugh-out-loud funny standalone romance by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster.

Blaine Wicked can spot trouble a mile away. As the eldest of five and raised in a Dark Knights biker family, he has always been a protector. Rescuing a stripper from a bad situation comes with the territory, regardless of the hell the mouthy, slightly awkward, and seriously hot leggy blonde gives him for it. She’s far too innocent to bend to his wicked ways, but the more he learns about her, the harder it is for him to walk away.

Forensic scientist Reese Wilder never imagined herself as the entertainment at a bachelor party, but she’d do anything to keep food on the table for her teenage sister. With their mess of a mother in rehab—Third time’s a charm, right?—Reese is stuck paying off their mother’s debt to a dealer and trying to make ends meet. Reese has had it rough, and she knows better than to rely on anyone for help, much less a pushy biker with piercing blue eyes who probably has dozens of women at his beck and call.

The more flames Reese throws, the more determined Blaine is to walk through them. The closer he gets, the hotter they burn—and the more curious she becomes. But Blaine Wicked has the power to torch Reese’s walls to embers, and with her sister’s well-being at stake, that’s a risk she can’t afford to take.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I’ve been looking forward to Onyx’s book since book one of the GEM series.

We didn’t know a lot about Raj and she really intrigued me….. almost as much as Jacob.

Both their history was complicated and their stories were heart hurting. People who are supposed to care for you but who cause you the worst kind of pain, they both suffered from some unspeakable and unthinkable experiences.

There were so many secrets and disclosures in this read. Some I sorta had worked out and a few others which were complete surprises. I loved how the team came together and worked to get to the heart of the case they’ve been with on since the start of the series.

Well written as ever, this was another fabulous offering from Freya and was action packed, full of intrigue and heat. While I’m sad this series is complete, I cannot wait for what’s to come next from Ms B.

I think one of the saddest and most harrowing things with this story is that though Ms Barker has written it as fiction, all you have to do is look at the news IRL and see awful reports about similar things like this…. which inexplicably includes the same kind of people that Freya has as characters in Onyx’s story.

I would encourage you to grab your copy of the books in this series and discover what the GEM team are all about….

AUTHOR BIO


Jen Stevens was born and raised in Michigan where she enjoys the weather of all four seasons in a single day. After obtaining her Bachelors degree, she quickly realized the corporate world wasn’t for her and instead took on the daunting role as her children’s snack slave. Reading has been an obsession for a long as she could remember, while writing has always been an escape. Jen could quote The Office word-for-word and proudly refers to herself as a romance junkie. She could live off anything made of sugar and has recently obtained the title of Lady. Most of all, she loves connecting with readers!

NEW RELEASE – Watch Your Mouth (Kings of the Ice #2) by Kandi Steiner

Watch Your Mouth by Kandi Steiner is now live!

My brother’s teammates know not to touch me—but that doesn’t stop me from daring Jaxson Brittain to be the first to break the rule.

After one steamy night in Austin, I’m all too aware of the hot, broody defenseman with icy blue eyes and ink sprawling his muscular arms. He was the one my brother assigned to keep me safe—and I had far too much fun tempting him to be the one to put me in danger.

It was just one night of tip-toeing the line, of teasing and flirting and messing around knowing nothing would ever come of it.

But when the universe throws me back into his lap two weeks later and we end up on a secret road trip together, all bets are off.

I can’t help but touch him. I can’t help but pray for him to touch me. And I can’t resist the temptation to test him at every turn.

Jaxson is smart and doesn’t have a death wish. So, like a gentleman, he keeps his hands to himself… the jerk.

But the closer we get on the road and the farther we get from reality, the less those warning signs from my brother seem to deter him.

When we started this road trip, we set a boundary. We promised to keep all arms and legs safely in the friend zone.

Now, miles and miles away from all the reasons we shouldn’t, all I can hear is my heart thumping out the resounding reason we should.

And the way those heated blue eyes watch me, I know I’m not the only one.

TROPES:

Pro Hockey Romance
Teammate’s Little Sister/Brother’s Best Friend
Road Trip
Forced Proximity
One Bed
Age Gap
Opposites Attract

Watch Your Mouth is book two in the Kings of the Ice series: a series of interconnected standalones following a team of professional hockey players and the women who bring them to their knees. They do not need to be read in order, but you will gain glimpses of future characters/couples in each book.

Meet Kandi


Kandi Steiner is an Amazon Top 5 bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tampa, FL. Best known for writing “emotional rollercoaster” stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance — in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you’re a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she’s your gal.

An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women’s Studies. She started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her “freedom of press.” 

She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.

When Kandi isn’t writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, planning her next adventure, or pole dancing (yes, you read that right). She enjoys live music, traveling, playing with her fur babies and soaking up the sweetness of life.

RELEASE BLITZ – The Treasure Hunt Hookup (Hollywood Bachelors #3) by Lila Monroe


Title: The Treasure Hunt Hookup
Series: Hollywood Bachelors #3
Author: Lila Monroe


Genre: Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Cinnamon Roll Hero/Fall Vibes
Release Date: October 30, 2023

BLURB

Join the hunt for love in this hot and hilarious rom-com with a black cat heroine, cinnamon roll hero, and all the pumpkin spice fall reading vibes! Perfect for fans of Tessa Bailey, Ali Hazelwood, and Emily Henry.


Reeve Donovan is Hollywood’s hottest, most charmingly-stubborn director… and the last man I expected to find strolling down Main Street in my sleepy Blue Ridge hometown. Especially since last time I saw him, I was wearing (half) a slutty super-spy costume, and he was facedown in an Indiana Jones outfit, searching for my… buried treasure.

With his tongue.

Ahem.

It turns out, my steamy Halloween hookup wants to find the location of my Great-Grandpa Earl’s missing gold… along with everyone else. The Fortune family’s wayward fortune is the stuff of legends, but I always figured it was just that: fiction. Until Reeve and I stumble on a clue that jump-starts our quest… and makes us unlikely partners in our hunt for the gold.

Soon, we’re swept up in a wild race for the treasure, jostling with a reality TV crew, grumpy historians, and my idiot of an ex-husband (don’t ask). I’ve been burned in love before, and have zero intention of falling for this arrogant charmer… Except Reeve has other plans.

He wants me. I want the gold. And my burning loins want… another go-around with Indy’s whip. We’re both used to getting our own way, so what happens when that way leads straight to the bedroom? And can we outwit the other treasure hunters to claim the ultimate prize?

Find out in the hot and hilarious new romance from Lila Monroe!
