Anika Jones has her future carefully plotted out and is checking the boxes, one by one, despite the bumps thrown in her path. This last one is a challenge, but she manages to stay on track; her salon is thriving, and she just bought a house. Unfortunately, when one of her employees runs into trouble, she inevitably gets sucked in, throwing her carefully paced life off-balance. It doesn’t help a friend, who’s been ghosting her for a year, suddenly makes an appearance.

He was born to pig farming, but for Noah (Hog) Hodgekins fighting fires is his calling. He wasted too many years honoring a legacy he wants no part of. But now that he’s finally free from family obligations, there’s nothing holding him back from pursuing the life he’s been dreaming of. The first step is mending bridges with the one person who is central to that future, but she comes with her own challenges, family and otherwise.

Instead of treading carefully to gain her heart, he ends up throwing caution to the wind when her recent string of bad luck lands the FBI on her doorstep.

RELEASE BLAST – Pucker Next Door by Sara Ney

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

PUCKER NEXT DOOR

Sara Ney

Release Date: April 29

Blurb:

When a squirrel chews its way through my bedroom wall, I do the first thing any single girl like me would do: run screaming out of the house to the neighbors, begging for help.

I should mention that the house next door is full of hockey players. And when I lock eyes on rough and rugged Brodie Stockhausen—who happens to be outside brooding on the porch—I’m not exactly impressed.

But I’m desperate, in a bathrobe, and need a bit of rescuing.

Soon I’m begging for his help with more than just squirrel duty and DIY projects. I want his attention and his touch—not just his friendship!

I want what every girl wants: him lying in his bed at night, so desperate for me that he’s willing to scale two stories to sneak into my window. Hey, a girl can dream…

But Brodie has a secret; one that leaves me wanting more every time we’re together but has him pulling away…

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

3.5*

I really wanted to love this book. The liked the blurb and the first few chapters have me laughing so the signs were good …. then, it kinda got a little slow and while I didn’t completely lose interest, I wasn’t totally hooked!

The initial interaction between Brodie and Lizzy was kinda funny but I must admit I didn’t get the vibes that there was an attraction there at that point.

The story takes place over a fairly short time period, which in itself wasn’t an issue. Brodie knew who Lizzy was but the guy was quiet, to the point of seeming socially awkward, and had never tried to meet her face to face. Lizzy was so busy trying not to look like she was interested in who lived next door that she hadn’t fully paid attention to who actually did. Without the interference of a pesky, uninvited squirrel, this pair would probably never have spoken!

Brodie was a good guy and I got why he had concerns and was reluctant to get intimate with Lizzy. He really did overthink things but given the housemates he lived with and that he was a hockey player (and the stereotypes that often go with sports players) his reactions and actions made sense. I did like Lizzy’s reaction once she found out his truth though.

Some of the things they said felt younger than something a 21yo would come out with… who knows, maybe I’m just getting too old for this particular style of book. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I know there are people who will love this story but for me, it just hit slightly off the mark.

(I downloaded the bonus epilogue which was a little in the future which gave us an idea of where Brodie & Lizzy were heading going forward)

Don’t miss this all new forced proximity, fake marriage sports romance!

BLURB:

DALTON

As the best running back in the league, I have no shortage of women wanting my attention. And I’ve eaten that up since being drafted to the Boston Blizzard…until now. Ever since I met Dia Spencer, I haven’t been able to focus on anyone else. When we find ourselves outside a Vegas wedding chapel while celebrating the biggest win of my career, I shoot my shot and end up married for a night to the girl of my wettest dreams. But when I get the chance to keep her as my wife a little longer, I have to figure out a way to convince her to stay forever.

DIA

My life has been a series of unfortunate events. Aside from my best friend, everyone I’ve ever trusted has hurt and used me. I decided a long time ago to protect myself by never getting attached to anyone, no matter what. So, when Dalton Davis asks me to be his wife as part of the ‘full Vegas experience’, I give him one night. Then, it’s off to Splitsville. But when getting married proves to be a lot easier than getting divorced, I have to do everything I can to protect my heart from getting broken again…even if my new husband is showing me all the ways he wants to keep it safe.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

The gods…. I LOVED Blaze & Mads, then there was Mav & Bella and while I just know that Tanner is gonna be my absolute fave…. right now I’m ALL about Dalton & Dia!!

My heart hurt for Dia. How she perceived others’ failings as her own, felt she wasn’t good enough, had been treated as if she wasn’t while all the time she was so deserving of everything Dalton Davis could and wanted to give her.
I understood her trepidation about him and her inability to accept what he repeatedly showed her about how he felt and how he valued her so it was great to finally see her begin to realise and believe what her ‘people’ were telling her!

Dalton, I really adored him. He made no bones about the fact that he wasn’t interested in serious until Dia came along and then he was all in…. I loved that he knew what she needed, didn’t push, was understanding and patient. He was everything she needed that she thought she didn’t want.

The banter between this pair was good. The development of their relationship was something to see. The spice was most definitely spicing ‘and these two together were highly combustible! That dirty mouth of Mr Davis… 🥰🥰
I ran through a solid slew of emotions reading this book… honestly think my heart went through the wringers as much as Dalton’s at points.

I like the way friends and family are always included in these books. I love ‘found family’ and that element in Run Game was so important for Dia and made my heart happy.

I’m loving this series and cannot wait for Tanners book, especially now we’ve had a few wee teasers about his past!

This, for me, is definitely a 5 star read!

The same one I wore down the aisle for my late husband.

I’m only meant to be at the Wilder Retreat for a single day except I go home with not only a job offer, but the promise of something more.

Ridge Wilder is hiding secrets of his own. And the undeniable chemistry between us burns before we even contemplate taking that first step.

Only I’ve already had my happy ever after. I never planned on finding another.

https://geni.us/MomentsYouChoice

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I truly love the Wilder series from Carrie Ann and I’m delighted she’s continuing it with the inclusion of the brothers’ cousins!!!

Ridge & Aurora’s story was a little bittersweet to start with but the gods, this pair were meant for each other.

Two lost and lonely souls. One not quite sure what direction to take next, being blamed for still being here, the other wanting nothing to do with relationships or love ever again who blames themselves for still being here!

My heart hurt so badly for Aurora. Between the things she’d dealt with and the pain she was still trying to deal with I wouldn’t have blamed her if she had given up and moved away. Seeing her realization that she still had a life to live and how she embraced each step was heartwarming.

Ridge never wanted to feel again. He was keeping secrets that were just hurting him more as time went on so the unexpected arrival of and connection with Aurora were things he was not expecting and had trouble dealing with.

I liked that this pair communicated. It wasn’t always easy and they both had so many second thoughts which, given their pasts were understandable, but they both worked to emerge from their sadness and grow together and I loved watching them flourish.

There was a bit of suspense, a lot passion and a whole heap of heat which all added to a great story. We caught up with the Wilder family en masse and I’m looking forward to meeting the rest of the cousins as the series continues!

I’m excited for Naomi & Amos’s story which is up next.

A steamy friends with benefits, surprise pregnancy standalone novel by romantic comedy author Gia Stevens…

We went from fling to friend-zone. Now I have to tell him he’s going to be a dad.

After my ex-husband left, I became a single mom and vowed never to date a guy in a suit again.

Then Trey Wilson entered my life. The guy who lives in suits. He’s charismatic, good-looking, and charming AF.

Everything that can make any woman swoon, including me.

What started as a one-night fling turned into a mid-morning office quickie, followed by an afternoon rendezvous in my kitchen. Which ultimately led to the purchase of a new table.

After I told him we can only be friends, he’s determined to be my best friend. The more time we spend together, the boundary between friends and benefits blur.

Deep down, I know he’s exactly like the others. Once they get what they want, they’re out the door, leaving me to pick up the pieces of my broken heart. Been there. Done that. And I have a daughter to prove it.

So the moment emotions get involved, I quickly suppress them and do what I know is right.

I end whatever this is.

Except now I can’t do that when the white stick shows two pink lines.

Excerpt

I peer up at him. “Are benefits still on the table?”

He turns toward me. The pad of his thumb caresses the apple of my cheek. His hand continues to glide across my skin until his fingers thread through my hair. His large palm warms my cheek. “No.”

My stomach falls. It was inevitable this would have to end, but I was hoping it wasn’t tonight.

With his other hand he grips my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. “I don’t want benefits. You’re worth more than just benefits. But I’ll take whatever you give me.”

A slow smile spreads over my lips. “Can we go to your house?”

“Absolutely.”

He opens the passenger door and I slide in. While he rounds the hood, I click my seatbelt into place. We’ve had sex before, but the butterflies are fluttering faster this time. Maybe because it’s not a spontaneous, spur of the moment thing. Instead, I have the entire drive to his house to think about it. Trey climbs in and starts his SUV. He glances over at me while reaching his hand over the center console and intertwining his fingers with mine. It’s the simplest gesture, but one that calms my erratic heartbeat.

The short ride to his house is silent, but the way his thumb brushes over the back of my hand says everything I need to know right now. I want Trey.

His neighborhood is a far cry from my tiny apartment complex. Enormous houses with even bigger lawns line the streets. A pang of guilt hits me as this is something I’ll never be able to give Abby. A neighborhood filled with other kids to run around and play with. Or a backyard to build a fort or play kickball in.

As we approach a navy blue split-level house, he turns left and pulls into the sunken attached garage. I yank myself out of my thoughts. No pity parties tonight. There’s only room for one party, and that’s between my legs.

The garage door closes, and we both step out, but before we reach the door to the house, my heels that I never put back on slip from my fingers, dropping to the floor with a clatter. Trey twists around and I throw myself into his arms, slamming my lips to his. Without breaking our connection, he twists us around and cages me against the front fender. A shiver runs down my spine as he threads his fingers through my hair, cupping my head as he deepens the kiss. I wrap my arms around his waist and tug him to me, wanting to feel all of him. A low moan escapes his throat.

He pulls away, but his lips linger on mine. “Did I tell you this is the best friendship I’ve ever had?”

RELEASE BLITZ – Until It Was Love ~ A Complicated Situationship RomCom by Pippa Grant

Apr 12

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Title: Until It Was Love
A Complicated Situationship RomCom
Author: Pippa Grant

Genre: Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Teammate’s Sister, Enemies to Lovers
Accidentally Dating, Grumpy/Sunshine
Release Date: April 11, 2024

BLURB

There are a million reasons why I shouldn’t agree to a date with Fletcher Huxley.

He’s a growly-faced, stubborn-streaked, international rugby legend trying to revive his flailing career in the US after being canned by his team overseas.

While he might have the good kind of thunder thighs, intriguing tattoos, and a booty of steel, he also holds the top position on my very short nemesis list thanks to what happened the first time we met.

Plus, his mustache is as terrible as the reason he’s picked me to be the woman he wants to date.

But he has one big checkmark in the why this date is a good idea column: he’s my brother’s new teammate.

They already hate each other.

And my brother has made an unfortunate habit of interfering with my love life recently.

So a revenge date with Fletcher to make my brother mad? While letting Fletcher think this date is merely for the good of the team?

Yep.

I’m in.

I’m moving to London for work in a month. And it’s just one date. What could possibly go wrong?

Until It Was Love is a banter-tastic romcom featuring an overgrown snack of a man with a soft spot for his purse dog, a normally optimistic life coach trying to live her best life, a mustache catastrophe, and one little tiny fainting spell. It stands alone and comes complete with a swoony happily ever after that will leave your heart in a happy puddle of joy.

Equine rehabilitation therapist Sasha Whiskey has everything she needs right there on Redemption Ranch—a job she’s passionate about, a loving family, and Ezra Moore, the sexy single father who went from trying to nail her as a belligerent teen to keeping his distance as a successful therapist and the person to whom she compares every other man. She’s done with comparisons. She wants the real thing. But going after what she wants means risking everything they’ve both worked so hard to achieve. If only dating co-workers weren’t forbidden.

From New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster comes The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Redemption Ranch, a small-town, big-family series of standalone romance novels featuring fiercely loyal, insanely sexy bikers who give horses—and people—a second chance. Buckle up for a wild ride in Hope Ridge, Colorado, as these big-hearted badasses and their sassy sisters wrangle in their forever loves. No cliffhangers, no cheating, and always a happily ever after.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

The gods…. I devoured this book… I was so invested in this pairs story that I couldn’t put it down.

Melissa previously gave us Sully & Callahan in the series and I thought they were gonna be my favourite couple from the ranch…. then she introduced us to Sasha, Ezra (and we can’t forget Gus!!!!) Well, now I’m not sure who’re my favourites.

Sasha & Ezra had quite the connection. You knew there was something about them from earlier books in the Redemption Ranch world but then you get their full story and you understand their ties – I was so bummed that they hadn’t had their opportunity before now but had everything crossed that this time things were gonna work out for them.

The spice was definitely spicing in this instalment. My kindle was red hot when this pair were together.

🔥🔥🔥

Then there was the sweetness and sense of belonging that they each felt especially when Gus was around. That child…. his love for his ‘Sugar’ gave you an inkling as to why Sasha and Ezra were scared of messing up the dynamic they had but, in truth, Sasha was more of a mama to that little boy than his birth mother could ever hope to be!

I love the fact that we catch up with other characters from previous books. I adored Tiny in AToW, that man misses nothing!!!! That sense of family and being enveloped in something special is one of my favourite things about Melissa’s stories.

I cannot wait for Doc’s book and to see what happens when he meets his match (‘cos as we know, Melissa isn’t gonna give him a shrinking violet of a heroine… same as with his brothers!)

You could read A Taste of Whiskey as a standalone but I think you should consider starting the series and read in order!
