See that guy over there? The insanely tall, broad-shouldered, dark-haired, scowling, “I don’t drink coffee” suit?
Surprise! He’s the new owner of my family’s mountain café.
The café that has been my life purpose since I was born in the kitchen there almost thirty years ago.

RELEASE BLITZ – Watch and Learn by Rebel Shaw


Title: Watch and Learn
Author: Rebel Shaw


Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Second Chance/Sports Romance
Release Date: October 10, 2023

BLURB

Nate

All I wanted to do was be me, for one night. I didn’t want to be the number one quarterback in the league. I just wanted to be Nate. I couldn’t tell you exactly what made me stop at that dive bar on the outskirts of town, but it changed my life.

Our connection was instant and undeniable. Our night together was explosive, which led to another, and then another. No strings. Neither of us had time in our busy lives for more.

When tragedy strikes, we part ways, but those strings we swore were not there tethered me to her. An invisible line from my heart to hers. It doesn’t matter how much time has passed. I still want her.

Oaklyn

After a long day at work, the last thing I should have done was stop at a seedy establishment at the edge of town, but something had me pulling my car into the lot and going inside. The place was empty, except one man. An impossibly gorgeous guy with sexy eyes as dark as the night.

I threw caution to the wind and invited him home. Our night together was magic, and when it came time to part ways, we both decided not to. No strings. Just great sex.

However, our time is cut short when he sustains an injury on the field and leaves, breaking my heart into a thousand pieces on his way out the door. What was supposed to be just for fun turned out to be anything but, and when he returns to town years later, I realize I’m in trouble. My heart still craves him.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I really enjoyed Watch and Learn….. more than I expected if I’m honest though I should have know it would be fab given how much I enjoy Lacey Black’s own books!!

I read this practically in one sitting – only put my kindle down as dinner needed to be made – Nate & Oaklyn’s story had me fully invested and captivated.

This pair were meant to be. He needed someone to see him for himself and she needed someone who understood her crazy work life. Fate definitely pulled these two together initially but it certainly wasn’t finished with them even after things went so wrong.

I have to say I honestly could have smacked Nate upside the head more than once – I completely understood his initial thinking and his emotions and reasoning behind it but his continued path of being a bloody eejit….. 🙄🤯🤬 – I was so glad when he finally got his head on straight!

The slight lack of communication – on both sides – wound me up a tad BUT the story wouldn’t have been the same without it. There was one wee point about their earlier ‘relationship’ that Oaklyn got a bit peeved about where I was shouting in my head “hold on a minute missy… YOU agreed to that as much as Nate did, you stated your reason very clearly!!” but again, once she saw what Nate was trying to show her, I could let that go.

Great chemistry, an interesting initial meeting, two broken heart, low angst but a hopeful chance at a HEA…. All in all a really great story from 2 fab authors.
I’m gonna go check out their other work together.

This is definitely a story I’d pick up again. Solid 4* recommended read.

When my best friend’s little sister walks in on me moaning her name, it’s all over. All restraints are shattered, and every boundary demolished. Nothing will be the same…

The problem is, she’s forbidden. Off-limits. And I know better than crossing that line.
I can’t drag her into the dark secrets of my life.

But I can’t stay away from her either, so I do the one thing I shouldn’t—I take.
And now that I’ve had her, I’m not sure I can save her from who I am. . .

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

Sabrina Sullivan & Grey Cartwright are my new fave couple in this series!!!!

Following on from the wedding disaster in book one, Sabrina is out and about in Hawaii before she heads home when she meets a guy at a bar. They have a connection and a great night but she’s still on a bit of a downer and leaves him without exchanging details.

Back home, she knows that she’s gonna end up with a new boss at what used to be the family cafe …. she’s just not expecting who her new boss is!!!!
Their initial interaction back in Snaggletooth Creek wasn’t grand, to say the least!!

To really get this story in this book fully I think you have to start with The Worst Wedding Date… it explains quite a bit of what goes on in The Gossip & The Grump!

Sabrina was the local gossip but following the wedding she’s stopped or is trying not to listen or talk about anything or anyone, but when she talks to Grey, especially about things in town, she does it in code and seeing him work out who’s who was funny!
Her gossiping is never nasty and in all honesty she’s kinda hard on herself for a while when it’s not entirely warrented.

Grey, yeah, in Snaggletooth Creek and at work he comes across as a real grump but he’s been hurt and used and he’s not in the mind to trust many folk, so finding out the girl from Hawaii is now an employee doesn’t incline him to trust her either…. He’s actually a good guy, cares about those important to him and I liked him more than I expected I would.

I loved the connection these two had. There was fun, banter, heat and steam and when you add in great side characters… especially Zen (who made me laugh so often!) & Jitter (crazy lovable fur baby) …. the story was fab.

I was a tad annoyed at Emma tbh, especially when she finally spoke with the girls but I’m definitely looking forward to her book and finding out who her person is gonna be!

4.75* St Bernard sized stars…..

Series: Burgers and Brew Crüe #8
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!!

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.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I thoroughly enjoyed Noah & Fisher’s book.

I liked that their initial interactions were away from home Abd that neither knew who the other was….. until they did!!

Noah had dated Fisher’s son, not that he’d have known as Fisher has been gone for various reasons for a number of years. The realization that he’s the new farrier at her family’s ranch had Noah in a tailspin but that heat and connection was still there, even when they both said that nothing could happen.

I liked Fisher. He’d made mistakes, messed up a few times but was back and trying and even though I didn’t like it, he was thinking of what he considered his priorities instead of his own wants!

I enjoyed finding out about them both as they both discovered more about each other.

The suspense and mystery around the ranch made for interesting reading and while I thought I knew who was to blame I was surprised when the truth came out.

There was so much heat and love in this book and I was engaged in this pair from the start.

I’m looking forward to more in this series from Brooke!!

Excerpt

Copyright 2023 @Brooke Montgomery

Noah’s POV:

Fuck, where is my bra?

After Fisher took off my dress, I flung my bra somewhere. I’m not about to leave without it since it’s the only one I packed. I don’t need my piercings blinding my family.

As I lower to my hands and knees, crawling around with my ass straight up, I find it underneath his jeans.

Thank God.

Next, I dig in my bag for my panties.

It’s one thing to make the walk of shame at seven in the morning, but it’s shameful to do it commando.

And I am a classy Southern lady, after all.

With the exception of last night.

Once I’m dressed and slide on my boots, I grab the rest of my things. Fisher hasn’t stirred once since I climbed over his naked body and slid out of his bed. I’m half tempted to check his neck for a pulse.

That’d be my luck.

Best sex of my life leads to him dying afterward.

I know he’s older, but he’s not that old.

When I see his wallet on the counter, I contemplate taking a peek at his license to see his birth year. Amid our grinding against each other make-out session, I asked if he had a condom, and he told me to grab one from his wallet, which was in the back pocket of his jeans. Once I grabbed it, I tossed the leather aside.

Glancing once more at Fisher to make sure he’s still in a sleep coma, I open his wallet and look at his ID.

He’s forty-four.

Exactly twice my age.

Okay, so it’s not that bad.

He doesn’t even look forty.

It could be worse. He could be fifty.

But then I blink, reread his full name, and it does. It gets so much worse.

Fisher Underwood.

It can’t be. My throat tightens as I choke down the surprise I never expected.

I need to get the hell out of here before he wakes up.

God, I hope this is a hangover dream.

More like a nightmare.

All the air gets sucked out of my lungs at the realization.

I just slept with my ex-boyfriend’s dad.
