I already had my happy ending. Childhood sweethearts, my late wife and I made four beautiful kids together who are now grown and married off themselves. I’m content to be their old dad, tending to my ranch and my tomato plants. Until Emily Carson and her tempting curvy body and her smiles that she hands out like candy, crashes into my life making me want things I have no business wanting. 
 
Emily
 
I’ve been on my own, more or less, my entire life. So when given the chance to move to the cutest, most quaint small Texas town I’ve ever seen. I’m the newest resident of Saddle Creek and I’m settling in perfectly. I love my new town and everyone seems to love me too. Everyone except, widower and silver fox, Bram Whitmore, who seems to hate me at first sight. Too bad the feeling isn’t mutual. Because that man, with his legit dad bod, is the most tempting thing I’ve ever seen. 
 
He’s a man I could easily fall in love with, but I know I’m not enough to compete with the woman who loved him first.

RELEASE BLITZ – The Fool (Welcome to the Circus #7) by Lani Lynn Vale


Title: The Fool
Series: Welcome to the Circus #7
Author: Lani Lynn Vale


Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: April 1, 2024
 

BLURB
 
I don’t know who needs to hear this but take a day off from being the bigger person. Fuck some shit up.

Those words were said to him by a stranger in the airport. And from that moment on, he’s only had eyes for her.

Too bad they met when she was taking off for three months to parts unknown. Otherwise, Keene Day—yes, that was really his godforsaken name—would’ve tried a little harder to get her info.

Lucky for him, fate takes pity on him.

They meet over and over again in the airport. First in the security line, then at the terminal where they’re both on the same plane. Finally, after a few delayed flights, an emergency landing, and a six-hour road trip, he finally pulls his head out of his ass long enough to get her info.

And over the next few weeks, they talk over the phone and get to know each other.

But fate is funny.

Just as easily as it can bring you to a person, it can tear them away, too.

And Ande Carter’s life is about to take a turn for the worse.

But Keene is there for it all. The good, bad, and ugly.

Whether she wants him there or not.

RELEASE BLITZ – One More Time (Fireweed Harbor Series #4) by J. H. Croix

ONE MORE TIME

Fireweed Harbor Series #4

J.H Croix

Release Date: March 25

 

A swoony, small town romance from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix!

How we met: I got a black eye.

Where we met: At a wedding. Not mine! Marriage is a NO for me.

Our first date: We’re not dating. Cross my heart.

True story: Jack Hamilton gave me a black eye when we met. He didn’t throw a punch, but he did open a door right into my face. On the same day I was a bridesmaid in my brother’s wedding. 

My head spun when I took a good look at him. Maybe it was running full-force into a door, but maybe it’s because he’s melt-your-panties H-O-T. Oh, and he’s a hotshot firefighter. 

But I don’t date, and I don’t ever intend to fall in love. It’s all so simple. Until the chemistry that’s hot enough to melt me nearly does. Maybe Jack can help with that, what with the whole firefighting thing.

No one warned me that a good man could make me forget all the reasons why love is a bad idea.

Jack & McKenna’s story is perfect for readers who love: hotshot firefighters, emphasis on H-O-T, slow burn, he falls first, billionaire heroine, small town gossip, emotional romance with a dash of angst, oodles of swoon, and a cinnamon roll hero with a protective streak who will do anything to take care of the woman he’s falling for.

*A full-length, standalone romance.

RELEASE BOOST – Reluctantly Royal (Royals Gone Rogue #1) by Erin Nicholas writing asErin Nicolle

Title: Reluctantly Royal
Series: Royals Gone Rogue #1
Author: Erin Nicholas writing as
Erin Nicolle


Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 14, 2024

Tropes: Royal/Commoner, Marriage of Convenience, Age Gap, Woman in STEM, Opposites Attract

 

BLURB
 
A marriage proposal from a deliciously handsome and wickedly charming prince sounds like a fairytale.
 
But for a nerdy scientist with severe social anxiety, it’s a horror story.
 
Prince Torin O’Grady, with his mischievous blue eyes and cocky grin, is always in the spotlight. And he needs to marry me to inherit the crown. 
 
But we have nothing in common. He’s a future king. And I’m perfectly happy slogging through mud in my work boots.
 
So why can’t I stop thinking about him? 
 
Maybe because he won’t stop texting me. And sending me gifts. And making me feel like everything I find awkward and weird about myself is special and amazing.
 
And there’s also that little detail of him offering me my dream job and telling me that together we can change the world.
 
Well, I could probably 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 for him.
 
And if I have to marry him temporarilyto get what we both want, then fine. It’s for the greater good.
 
It has nothing to do with the way he kisses me. Or that dirty mouth. Or the royal treatment he gives me in the bedroom.
 
Fine. Maybe it does. Still, it’s only a year. Then I can turn in my tiara and come back to my normal, boring, behind-the-scenes life.
 
But Torin is determined to turn me from reluctantly royal to royally his.

JUST ONE MORE MOMENT

The Sterling Family #1

Carly Phillips 

Release Date: March 12

 

She thinks happily ever after only happens in romance novels.
He can’t wait to prove her wrong…


Falling in love is not on Raven Walsh’s agenda. Running from her past keeps her way too busy for that. She can, however, handle a friends-with-benefits scenario with the hot billionaire who co-owns The Back Door bar. But trusting him with her heart? Not a chance…

Remington Sterling has had his eye on the smart and sexy Raven since she started waitressing at his bar. He knows she’s gun-shy where relationships are concerned. But he’s ready to do whatever it takes to convince her he’s worth the risk…

When Raven’s secrets catch up to her in a big way, she must decide if the potential cost of trusting Remy is more than she’s willing to pay—and Remy will need to figure out how far he’s willing to go for love…

Just One More Moment, book 1 in the Sterling Family series (all can be read as standalones), is a spicy contemporary romance featuring a ready-to-run heroine and the possessive, protective alpha hero who is more than ready to catch her.

Hallie
 
No one pushes my buttons the way Logan Johnson does. I’ve spent most of my adult life trying to ignore him, which isn’t easy when you live in a small town and share the same friends.
 
So, when I have a little too much to drink and need a place to crash after our friends’ wedding, it would figure I find myself at Logan’s house. What I’m not expecting is ending up in his bed. With him. Naked. More so, I wasn’t anticipating enjoying myself as much as I did, anxious for a repeat, which is why I’m not surprised when it happens again.
 
The problem is those drunken nights have resulted in something unplanned. Something monumental. Something that will change our lives forever.
 
 
Logan
 
Being attracted to someone who drives you completely crazy is its own form of hell. Hallie Rhodes is entirely infuriating, yet so damn beautiful it makes me ache.
 
There’s a fine line between love and hate, and we’ve been blurring it for as long as I can remember. So, when a late, drunken night turns into something it shouldn’t, all bets are off. Plans change and futures are cemented, despite having no idea what really comes next. All I know is the more time we spend together, the more I realize having her in my life is paramount.
 
Now my biggest challenge of all presents itself. Proving to Hallie we’re better together than we ever were apart.

BLP REVIEW – Rebecca

What the actual fuck? 

In the author note at the beginning of this book Ms Godwin says her aim is to make you uncomfortable, conflicted and morbidly consumed. Well, as I sit here rocking in a corner, trying to find words to convey my emotions on finishing, I am all of the above so Bravo Ms Godwin, Bravo, job well done. Beyond fucking done.

Hills of Shivers and Shadows is a brutally raw, passionate, tragic and destructive story, beauty in all of its scars and broken pieces that fascinated and disturbed me. Disturbed me because I feel wrong that I’ve enjoyed this content, sympathised with characters I feel I shouldn’t have and become completely immersed and invested in a story I would have previously run from screaming “Fuck No” on repeat in my head. 

I’d been making choices outside of my normal genre/authors recently, due to finding myself bored and for the first time in 50 years of reading DNF’ing (is that even a word?) multiple books, when Ms Godwin came onto my radar as I was frantically hoping for my reading mojo to return.

In so many ways this book and subject matter should not have worked for me however, it’s incredibly well written, full of twists, turns and unexpected shocking moments, it’s thought provoking, powerful, horrifying yet yes, morbidly consuming. The shocks keep on coming throughout, the feelings I started to develop for a character turn on a dime and the flick of a page, nothing is as it seems, the entire book is in so many ways beyond fucked up yet I find myself desperate for the next one, thinking about what will happen, where will the characters end up, what strands will continue to intersect and change this train wreck of a story that I cannot turn away from? 

Reading Mojo back? ☑️

Morbidly Consumed ☑️

Conflicted ☑️

Uncomfortable ☑️

Total Head Fuck ☑️

So to wrap this up…….

Am I going to mention the blurb? No, read it!  If it grabs you, buy it, if you think maybe, buy it, if it’s not normally your thing, buy it. That’s how powerful a read this is…..buy it, risk it, you won’t regret it!!

Am I going to mention characters? Hell no. Go in blind!!  Enjoy, be disturbed, fucked up and conflicted by a roller coaster of a ride with no clue of what you’re in for.

Am I desperately waiting for the next one? Fuck yeah. And I’m totally nonplussed that that’s how I feel.

Maybe I’m darker than I thought I was. Maybe I’m now going to go in a different direction with my choice of reading material, but 100% I’ll be reading the next 2 in this trilogy (and investigating this authors back catalogue) because a story that makes you think and stays with you after you’ve finished, well that’s one worth the time and money to read. 

Bravo Ms Godwin, Bravo

Job Fucking Done ☑️ 

Author Bio

New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author, Pam Godwin, lives in the Midwest with her husband, cats, retired greyhounds, and an old, foul-mouthed parrot. She traveled the world for seven years, attended three universities, married the vocalist of her favorite rock band, and retired from her quantitative analyst career in 2014 to write full-time.

Her interests veer toward the unconventional: bourbon, full-body tattoos, and tragic villains. Equally peculiar are her aversions to sleeping, eating meat, and dolls with blinking eyes.

Genre: Small Town Romance

Release Date: March 15, 2024

What to expect

he falls first, but she makes the first move

golden retriever boyfriend energy

plenty of steam

small town

blue collar

friends to lovers

Blurb

A year worth of flirting comes down to this kiss…

Abel

I’ve eaten more tacos the past year than I have my entire life. It’s not because I love those little handfuls of goodness (although I do). It’s because of the woman who runs the local food truck Let’s Taco Bout It. Seeing her makes my day, and while I can’t admit my feelings, I can at least see her smile.

Until Halloween. When a man gives her attention she doesn’t want, she pretends we’re together, and lays a kiss on me that I’ll never forget.

Kara

I’ve spent the last year watching the hottie in the constantly torn and dirty jeans shyly walking up to my food truck and ordering the same thing each time. I’ve done my best to drag him out of his shell, but nothing works until a night of unwanted attention forces me to make a move.

Now? He’s hanging around even more, and when his husky voice calls me his girlfriend? I melt into a puddle, and he’s the only one who can pick me up and put me back together again.

Excerpt

I’m slightly nervous as I follow him into his kitchen. I gasp when I get a good look. His kitchen is my dream. Stainless steel appliances, cabinets painted a dark gray that almost pulls blue in the darkness coming through the back windows. White marble countertops are spotless and inviting. Contemporary lighting provides enough where it’s needed, and softens where it isn’t. “You have a pot filler,” I gasp with jealousy. 

He laughs. “I do. When Dad and I were designing this place, he said I’d appreciate it if I were ever going to make dinner often. Since I do, I use it all the time.”

“You make dinner a lot?” I’m learning so much about him tonight. 

“When I decided to buy this place and gut it, I didn’t have a ton of money. Still repaying college loans too,” he shrugs.  “So while I do go out with my friends to the bar, I don’t spend a ton as I’m paying down stuff. Dad helped me more than he should’ve, but he wasn’t able to take care of everything. The amount of free labor and construction work he gave me for this place was well into the hundreds of thousands. My friends helped too, which is why they hang out here all the time when we aren’t working or at Monroe’s.”

The scent of whatever we’re going to eat permeates the room. “What else are you going to surprise me with tonight?” I tilt my head to the side.

“Hopefully everything you never imagined I would be.”

Our eyes meet, and I get lost in the green depths of his. I’ve seen them in many different situations and they tend to change colors depending on what’s happening. It runs the gamut from very light to dark, like the luscious floor of the rainforest. “I don’t really know you at all do I?” My voice is quiet as I observe him. “Does anyone really know you?”

He scratches the back of his neck, ducking his head down. “There are very few people who do, and I prefer it that way.”

“Why? You always seem so open with everyone.” I’m beginning to realize many of us have secrets.

“It’s complicated.”

I walk over to him, and grab his hand in mine. “We’re all complicated, but can I put it out there I would love to get to know your complications.” I’m never this forward, but there’s something about him standing in this amazing kitchen, telling me little snippets that make him the person he is. I’m taking them all and putting them in my pocket – pieces to the puzzle that make up this man.

He runs a palm over his stubble. “You’re probably just about the only person I’d let do that.”

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I LOVED Abel & Kara…. The Broken Falls series is fast becoming one of my favourites from Laramie!

Admittedly, there were a couple of times I wanted to give Abel a damned shake…. His self doubt and need to think about things to the nth degree before taking a chance and starting something with Kara did drive me a tad crazy! As a kid growing up with pretty much kids for parents mustn’t have been easy and I got that he worried about making mistakes and doing the wrong thing BUT his dad was a good example of growing up and changing for the better – Boone in all honesty did an awesome job with Abel who turned out to be a really great young man, ensuring that Abel had a great role model and a helluva supporter in his corner.

I really liked Kara. She was determined to bring her dream to life – even without the support that should have come automatically from her folks. She worked hard, believed in herself and was starting to see success.
I think what I liked most about her was HER belief in Abel.
She cared about him, could see the kind of person he was and knew that they were perfect for each other (spoiler… she was right!!)

I would have liked to see the interaction and kiss that kick-started their potential relationship but it didn’t kill the read for me that the story started a little later…. or that Abel took so long to get his head on straight and ask the gal in a date!!

Once Abel and Kara got together their relationship flourished.
It was great seeing them grow, leaning on each other when things got tough and bringing out the best in the other – they were friends and confidantes as well as lovers.. Abel was one of Kara’s biggest supporters when it came to her working towards her dream and she was there for Abel when things with family were difficult.

As ever, I love catching up with other characters from previous books and it was fab seeing how Boone & Alexis were doing.

I cannot wait to read Jasper’s book – that little tease we got in Abel has me intrigued!!!!

Excerpt

Erin Nicholas writing as Erin Nicolle

“I want more than dances, Abigail.”

She presses her lips together, takes a breath, then asks, “What else do you want?”

I decide to be honest. “I want to whisk you away on my private plane to an actual palace and give you everything and anything you could ever want or need.”

Her eyes widen. “You don’t even know me.”

I tuck my hands into my back pockets. To try to look casual. But also to keep from reaching for her. 

“I’ve read all about your work,” I tell her. “I started by just wanting to know about that job you said you hated so much. But then I kept reading. I know all about you.”

She’s staring at me. She’s sitting up straighter now and even in the pale light, I can see her shock. 

“You…read about me?”

“Not just about you. I read all of your papers. Your work in college. Your dissertation. The articles you’ve published. I even stumbled upon some social media posts.”

“I…Oh…” She shakes her head. “I thought you wanted to sleep with me.”

I chuckle softly. “Oh, Abigail, I most definitely want to sleep with you.”

She swallows hard.

“I wanted that before I knew you are a damned genius who could come to my country and revolutionize agriculture and completely overhaul our economy.”

I can see that she’s breathing faster now. 

“So you want to hire me?” she asks. “Which means we can’t sleep together because you’ll be my boss.”

I step up on the first step.

“I don’t want to hire you. But I do want to bring you to Cara to do your work.”

“I don’t understand.”

I step up onto the next step, but she doesn’t back up. There’s only a step between us now. “I want you to marry me.”

Her eyes widen. But she says nothing. 

“Be my princess,” I go on. “You’ll have influence and resources. You can do anything and everything you’ve ever wanted to do.”

She’s staring at me. Then when she realizes I’m done talking, she laughs. 

“Marry you? Is that how things work for you? You just smile that smile, waltz a couple of waltzes, and women just say yes to anything? Even marriage?”

Well…

“I’ve never asked anyone to marry me before, so I don’t really know,” I answer.

She’s still smiling. “Thank you for the offer. But I’m not going to marry you.”

“As princess of Cara you can see your plans in action. Right now, they’re all just on paper. You’re not actually doing any of it. Don’t you want to see it come to life?”

Now she’s not smiling. She’s just watching me. She takes a deep breath. “Of course I do.”

“This is the perfect way. There’s no red tape. Nothing between your amazing brain and making it all happen for real.”

“What’s the catch?”

“No catch. My country needs a prince and princess in place before my grandfather steps aside. The country deserves to know who will be there to step up and take care of them. My grandfather needs a successor in place before his heart gives out.”

“He has a bad heart?” she asks. 

“He’s already had three heart attacks. I really need to get married to give him and the country peace of mind.”

“So you’re serious about finding a wife?”

“I am.” 

She steps down a step. 

“Abigail.”

“Yes?”

“If you step down one more step, I’m going to kiss you.”

She wets her lips. 

“So if you want to just keep talking, you need to keep your sweet ass right there on that step.”

She looks down at the step that would start the kissing.

“And if you don’t want to keep talking…or anything else… you need to go back inside.”

She’s staring at me. But she seems more fascinated than anything. “Okay. I understand.”

“Good.”

Two heartbeats pass. 

Then she steps down onto the step right above mine.

I groan and cup her face, bringing her mouth in against mine. 

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

While Erin Nicholas is better known for The Landry Family and the small town of Autre – some of my favourite books and series – I’m so looking forward to what’s to come from her alter-ego, Erin Nicolle.

I adored Torin & Abigail. We’d met Torin previously on his trips to visit Fiona and Saoirse in Autre, while Ani had been introduced via her sisters’ stories.

We knew a bit about Cara. That they needed a new king ti take over from Torin’s grandfather as he’s getting older and his health hasn’t been good but the level of expectation on Torin from the old boy was a little more than anyone expected I think!!

I liked how Torin knew Abi was the one for him and even though she seemed set on the end date of their he never listened to sight of the future he wanted with her.
Torin grew up quite a bit throughout the read and for me, he was gonna be a really great leader…. if he has the right partner (hint, hint… Abi) by his side.

Then there’s Abi. For someone with social anxiety she definitely bloomed in this book….. her confidence, self belief and understanding of what she could do if she set her mind to it all developed during her first few months with Torin as he was so supportive and proud of her, which he never failed to convey.

This pair were made for each other. They were sweet, funny, engaging and smoking hot in equal measures and I’m hoping we see more of them in future ‘Royals Gone Rogue’ books.

A really fab start to a new series and I can’t wait to see what Erin has in store for Torin’s brothers (and hopefully their best friends/bodyguards!!! 😉)

About the Author

Erin Nicholas is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of over sixty sexy contemporary romances and rom coms. Her stories have been described as toe-curling, enchanting, steamy, and fun. She loves to write about reluctant heroes, imperfect heroines and happily ever afters. She lives in the Midwest with her husband who only wants to read the sex scenes in her books, her kids who will never read the sex scenes in her books, and family and friends who say they’re shocked by the sex scenes in her books (yeah, right!).

While Erin Nicholas is known for her blue-collar book boyfriends and big, boisterous found families in small towns, her alternate pen name, Erin Nicolle writes rich and royal rogues. But they both love a dirty talking cinnamon roll, a damn grump who is reluctantly wrapped around a feisty little finger, and a gruff, protective guy who falls first and hard.

And Erin also writes spicy, why choose rom coms as Emma Foxx  with her author bestie, Erin McCarthy (yes, another Erin)!
