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 Date: January 7, 2025
BLURB
There was right, there was wrong, and then there was the in-between.
The place where normal people reside, understanding that there are two sides to every coin. People that do bad things for good reasons. People that do bad things for bad reasons.
First, I knew that Shasha Semyonov was a bad man. One that did bad things for bad reasons. That didn’t mean that I was rational when it came to him.
He was toxic to my health, yet I wanted him anyway.
They say the first step to healing is admitting when you have a problem.
My problem happened to be six feet two inches tall, two hundred and twenty pounds, and bearded to perfection.
Oh, and he was also the scariest guy I knew.
Meanwhile, I was the laughingstock of the city.
The woman who was cheated on by her boyfriend with her best friend, and it was captured live while a band played in the background, perfectly accenting the humiliating video.
There was no way that Shasha Semyonov would notice me.
Right?
Wrong.
I’d definitely been noticed.

RELEASE BLITZ – The Forever Rule (The Cage Family #1) by Carrie Ann Ryan
The Forever Rule
The Cage Family #1
Carrie Ann Ryan
What happens when the man you’d thought could be the one turns out to be your new boss?
Blakely
The moment I met Aston Cage, I knew my life had changed. A single dance later, we’re both all in. Until he ghosted me.
Then my boss fires me for dancing with the enemy.
Three months later, working for the Cages is my last resort. Now I’ll work beside him day by day, trying not to let my feelings take control. It’s heaven and hell. Except I’m starting to think there’s a part of this story I’m missing…
Aston
I made myself walk away from Blakely after my family’s dirty laundry hit the news. My father’s secret family complicates everything. In order to keep our inheritance intact, we’re forced to do monthly dinners with both sides of the family—the brothers I grew up with and the new set of siblings we never knew about.
An additional obstacle: Blakely is my new sister’s best friend.
Meaning the moment I give into temptation, I not only risk the woman I’m falling for, but the family legacy just starting to reveal itself.
But Blakley is worth it. I just have to prove I am as well.
**The Forever Rule is a missed connection, workplace, big city meets small town romance featuring Aston and Blakely. Each book can be read as a complete standalone. An HEA is guaranteed!**

Excerpt
“Just like that? I’m hired?”
He shrugged as if he hadn’t just changed my life. “We can go over salary and benefits and hours and everything, but we want you. And I know you need the job. And to be fair, I was a little worried that you weren’t going to want to take it because of well…”
And the other elephant in the room raised its trunk. “You don’t have to worry about that. I haven’t spoken to him since that evening.”
Confusion covered his face. “He didn’t call you?”
I winced. “I don’t know if that’s any of your business in an interview, but no.”
He flinched. “I think we are past the point of not allowing any personal things into this interview. I apologize.”
I shook my head, wondering why I’d snapped back as I had. “No. You’re right. I’m the one that blurted that Isabella was my best friend.”
“And that’s the second thing. Is she going to be okay with you working here?”
This time I smiled. “I think she promised to come and kick shins if I didn’t get hired. So thanks for that.”
He grinned then. “I think I’m going to like this sister of mine.”
“She’s my best friend. And one of the most amazing people I know. So I hope you do. And I’m really sorry all of this happened and it’s such a mess. But we do not need to talk about that. And I’m sorry that I know so much about it.”
“It’s actually kind of nice that someone else knows outside of the family. I mean the media pretends they know, but they don’t.”
I shook my head. “I can’t even imagine.”
He waved it off as if it was nothing, though I knew it couldn’t be. “So, are you okay then working here? We’re complicated, we’re demanding, but we’re not going to fire you because you dared to even breathe next to our supposed rival.”
I press my lips together, wondering what the catch was. Who were these Cages? And why was I inevitably connected to them?
But in the end, it didn’t matter.
“Yes. I’m in.”
He held out his hand again, and I shook it, as a wide smile covered his face. “Good. Now we can let the world know we poached you from our new rivals.”
This time I rolled my eyes. “Oh, he would love that.”
“Oh, we’ll make sure he knows.”
“As long as it doesn’t blow up in our faces.”
“We can handle the embers.” He looked over my shoulder and from the way that he stiffened ever so slightly, I froze.
I knew exactly who was behind me in that moment, and who I knew I would inevitably see here.
However, James was my boss. My new boss. And as I turned to see Aston Cage there, I was afraid of what I was going to see.
And afraid of what I wasn’t.
BLP REVIEW – Tracy
I’ve been intrigued by the Cage brothers since they were introduced in the Montgomery Ink Legacy series.
This first book was a great start to what is gonna be a very interesting series.
Twists, turns and unexpected news abound in the story and Carrie Ann laid a lot of groundwork for the rest of the series in what was, for me in a lot of ways, an introduction to the characters.
That said I thoroughly enjoyed Blakely and Aston’s story. They didn’t have the easiest of journeys… stubbornness on Aston’s part to see a bigger picture in his personal life and Blakely’s often easy acceptance of why things were playing out as they were frustrated me a tad …. overall this was a likeable couple who deserved happiness together.
I cannot wait for book 2. Had an inkling of who the MMC was gonna be during The Forever Rule and I think this next read is gonna be a fun ride!!
