What to expect:

🌻 She ends up pregnant, but it’s not his

🌻 Secret dating

Blurb:

A best friend’s brother stand-alone from small-town romance author Brooke Montgomery about a girl who falls pregnant by the wrong man and the cowboy who takes her in…

I’ve crushed on my best friend’s brother for years.

He’s a six-foot-three, dark-haired cowboy who works on his family’s ranch and sends butterflies to my stomach anytime he looks at me. But he’s never made a move, so I need to get over it.

Except, when he reads a text message about me liking a mysterious guy, he snaps and demands answers. Little does he know, it’s my code name for him.

When he finally confesses he likes me too, I find out I’m pregnant. With my ex-boyfriend’s baby.

After spending three weeks together in secret, my world turns upside down when that little white stick reveals a positive sign from the one-night stand I had before him.

Now everything’s a mess and my life’s spiraling out of control.

I can’t expect him to date me anymore, so I insist we return to being friends. The last thing he needs is a girl who’s carrying another man’s baby and about to be a first-time mom.

But when my apartment gets broken into, and there’s a suspected criminal on the loose, he insists I move in with him to keep me safe.

Staying platonic proves to be harder with each passing day as he goes with me to my appointments, takes me baby shopping, and stocks the kitchen with all my weird cravings. He’s so involved that everyone assumes he’s the father. And I don’t correct them.

But the truth always comes out in a Southern small town.

Stay With Me is book 2 in the Sugarland Creek series. Each book in this Southern, small town series is a stand-alone and ends in a happily ever after.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

Oh lord, I was not expecting Tripp Hollis…. To be honest, I don’t think Magnolia Sutherland was expecting him either!!!

This pair have danced around each other for years, neither being brave enough to take a chance until finally Tripp is pushed into action.

Magnolia/Sunny doesn’t have a great relationship track record and her ex, Travis, has always been a reason why Tripp never let his feeling for her be known. Regardless of what Travis did – and he did some really shady stuff – Magnolia always seemed to end up back with him.
She’s been Travis free for a couple of years until one night, a shot of the green eued monster, a misunderstanding and too much booze sent her back for one last night……

It’s around this time that Tripp thinks Magnolia has her eye on someone else and finally decides to make a move.
This guys…. Honestly, he’s one of the best book boyfriends I’ve read in a good while.
He’s patient, doesn’t push for more than Sunny is able to give him and even when things don’t go as planned he’s not going anywhere. His determination to have the relationship and future with Magnolia that he has wanted for years is overwhelming. Sunny can’t quite believe he means what he says (especially as she’s never had someone look out for and be there for her specifically in a relationship) but the gods, this man shows her exactly what he wants.

Together these two were smokin’ hot. For a sweet guy Tripp had a dirty filthy mouth (and I was there for it!!). Sunny for her part wasn’t afraid to tell him what she wanted and had a dirty wee mouth of her own.

I liked the suspense – even though we had a good idea of who was up to no good – the banter was great, catching up with the rest of the Hollis family (I LOCE Grandma Grace) finding out about Mags’ family background and following Noah & Fisher in their next step all made for a fantastic read.

I’m so looking forward to Fall With Me. I’m pretty sure Ellie is gonna give Landen a run for his money

You could read this book as a standalone but I’d seriously recommend starting with the novella Come With Me and going from there!

Book Blurb:

Open roads and honor meets poke bowls and self-control.

I’m a homesick nomad.

A protégé, a mountain man, an ally, and a seeker.

My name is Wapi.

I’m a work in progress looking to belong, and though my road has been a winding one, my heart has found focus.

I’m a straightlaced hellcat.

A princess, a fool, a target, and a handle.

My name is Lindsey.

I can lash out fiercely when wounded, but my claws retract and my love glows bright in the hands of the right man.

We got off on the wrong foot—hostility thick between us—but when murder hits close to home bringing about a second chance, those sparks now stoke a different flame.

Setting hearts on fire.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I’m a fan of Freya and her books but Edge of Nowhere was more than I expected.

Wapi and Lindsey made a great couple and I really liked their book. I particularly enjoyed that their story took place mainly away from their home ground and involved some well known faces that I definitely was not expecting to catch up with!!

Wapi had a fair amount of guilt and regrets that he piled on himself as he hadn’t been able to save Lindsey from previous harm.. so much so that he disappeared and stayed away for a few years. Once he came home and got his head on straight he showed how loyal and committed he could be and proved more than once that he was always gonna be there for Linds.

Lindsey, understandably, was leery about having much to do with Wapi given his lack of contact, disappearance and ‘sudden’ interest on his return. She was strong, resourceful and determined and showed these traits through her actions during the read.

This pair had a connection that Lindsey thought was going somewhere prior to Wapi taking off and this spark and attraction hadn’t dulled much in the time since. I loved seeing them in a different place, adjusting and adapting to what was going on around them and building their relationship.

There were a couple of different threads and a few surprises in the story and I’m hoping to catch up with some things in future books. My only wee quibble…… there was a big surprise that I would have loved to see a reaction to…. that aside, this was a fab, action packed, suspenseful read and another hit from Freya.

RELEASE BLITZ – Possessive Heart (Starlight Cove #5) by Brighton Walsh

Feb 2

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

POSSESSIVE HEART

Starlight Cove #5

Brighton Walsh

Release Dates: February 1

Blurb:

I’m her brother’s best friend, and for the past ten years, I’ve also been Addison McKenzie’s dirty little secret.

My pro-hockey player lifestyle kept me from her, but I thought we had a good thing going. Burning up the sheets whenever I visited home worked well for us.

Or so I thought.

When a season-ending injury sends me back to Starlight Cove, I find out she thinks of me as nothing more than a mistake.

She’s trying her hardest to ignore my presence, but being snowed in together is making that difficult.

So is sharing a bed.

Old habits die hard, and it’s no surprise we fall right back into each other. Undeniable chemistry was never our problem, though. Making it last in the real world was.

But I’ve been in love with Addison for years. And I have no intention of giving up on us now.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

This is one of my favourite books so far this year…. and Chase Lockhart is by far my fave MMC of the series!!!!

The gods… this pair!!! What Addidon McKenzie thought and perceived and what actually happened were polar opposites…. but she was hell bent on not giving her long time ‘partner’ a second in order to find out the truth.

The push and pull, the dogged determination of Chase to get his girl and the stubbornness and determination of Addy to ignore him…..they were perfect for each other, he knew that and just needed her to get on board, and was positive he would, if he could get her to actually talk to him.

Thankfully he got his chance when they get snowed-in. Ok, Addy isn’t over the moon being stuck with the last person she expected to see that day and the one person she wanted to avoid, but truth be told, she never stood a chance, even if they hadn’t ended up stuck together as they did.

The things this man did with her in mind FOR 10 YEARS without her realising.. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 When the truth all came out….. my heart was bursting (in the best of ways!!!!)

So many emotions, the highs, the banter, the ‘gift’ and holy smokes THE HEAT, this book had it all. The scene where their relationship became public knowledge….. it was awesome!!

I love a book with no third act break up so that there was none here added even more to my appreciation of Addy & Chase’s story.
Loved catching up with the brothers and their significant others.

I’m sad this series is coming to an end but I’m so very excited for Levi’s story and can’t wait for what Brighton is gonna give us when it comes to him and his girl!!!

5 huge possessive heart shaped stars for this fabulous read!

NEW RELEASE – 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸 (Sterling Falls #2) by L.B. Dunbar

Jan 27

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸 by L.B. Dunbar is LIVE!!!

This is the second book in the Sterling Falls series, a small-town romance series with several silver foxes.

“𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘢 𝘴𝘭𝘰𝘸-𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘢𝘭, 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵-𝘸𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘮𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴, 𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘭, 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘺-𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘥, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯.” – 𝘈𝘯𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢, 𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘴

What to expect:

✔️reunited high school sweethearts

✔️former military man

✔️current fireman/bricklayer

✔️newly divorced single mom

✔️she-grump/sunshine

✔️all the spice

✔️small-town romance

Blurb:

Love wasn’t part of the blueprint when high school sweethearts reunite in their small town. But this former military man never forgot the girl he left behind and he’s more determined than ever to rebuild their relationship brick by brick and heart by heart.

Getting locked in the men’s restroom during my mother’s funeral wasn’t exactly how I expected to run into my high school sweetheart. The one who got away. The one who broke my heart.

I could toss the busted doorknob in my hand at him, but I’d prefer to get the heck away. Because twenty years later, Knox Sylver isn’t a teenage boy anymore but a broad-shouldered, thick scruff man with eyes that still look at me like I’m the only person in the room.

As a newly divorced mother of two teenagers, it’s been a long time since anyone sees me. And Knox is definitely watching.

Unfortunately, he made choices in the past and I wasn’t one of them.

According to him, that is ancient history.

Also, according to him, it’s never too late for a second chance. He’s out to prove he’s solid and stable, having returned to our small hometown, in a better place after a career in the military. He’s a local hero as a fireman and he wants to rekindle the flame between us.

I’m the one with decisions this round.

Do I stay where memories hurt? Or do I leave my past, and Knox, behind me again?

RELEASE BOOST – The Bride’s Runaway Billionaire (Three BFFS and a Wedding #3) by Pippa Grant

Jan 25

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Title: The Bride’s Runaway Billionaire
Series: Three BFFS and a Wedding #3
Author: Pippa Grant

Genre: Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Runaway Bride/Oops Baby/Small Town
Single Mom/Second Chance/Celebrity Hero
Release Date: January 18, 2024

BLURB

Being the star of the world’s most viral runaway bride video wasn’t how I envisioned my future when I woke up on my wedding morning, but here we are.

With me hiding from the world in Fiji where I’m now honeymooning solo.

And where I just tripped over my number one celebrity crush, hungover and sleeping on my little porch.

Turns out Jonas Rutherford, Razzle Dazzle movie star and heir to the entertainment conglomerate’s billions, is having his own relationship issues and is here hiding too after details of his scandalous divorce went public.

I didn’t think inviting him in for a hangover cure would lead to us getting friendly. And friendlier. And then—okay, yes.

I slept with him. Who can blame a girl? When you’re suddenly unexpectedly single and the number one guy on your freebie list is available, you leap.

But when I wake up the next morning, I discover I’m not the only runaway in my life, because he’s just ghosted me.

It’s fine. I’m fine. Neither one of us is in a position to start an actual relationship.

But three years later?

When he crashes my brother’s wedding?

Where the son that he’s just discovered he has is serving as ring bearer?

Life was a lot easier when I was just a runaway bride.

The Bride’s Runaway Billionaire is a deliciously juicy and utterly swoony romcom featuring a jaded optimist who’s had enough of the limelight, a happy-go-lucky celebrity whose world has been upside down since that fling after his divorce, the most adorable two-year-old on the planet, and a chicken with an attitude. While this book stands alone, you won’t go wrong to read The Worst Wedding Date, The Gossip and the Grump, and The Last Eligible Billionaire first.

RELEASE BLAST – Head Over Heels (Wilder Family #2) by Karla Sorensen

Jan 24

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

HEAD OVER HEELS

Wilder Family Book 2

Karla Sorensen

Release Date: January 24

Blurb

There’s only one course of action when your dad wants you to marry a clammy-handed wimp to make one of his board members happy—you get yourself stuck in an elevator with a hot stranger and have the steamiest make-out session of your life. Years of etiquette lessons went out the window thanks to Cameron Wilder, who managed to unleash my hidden bad girl with naught but his talented mouth and deliciously rough hands.

Afterwards, he went back to his small-town life, and I marched home to inform my dad there would be no business-centric nuptials. As punishment, he shipped me off to Sisters, Oregon and demanded I turn a healthy profit on a not-so-healthy property.

You see where I’m going with this—the buttoned-up city girl stuck in a small town hires a local builder to help her … and he’s the hot stranger from the elevator. Turns out, I have a weakness for the broad-shouldered nice guy who’s not so nice behind closed doors. Keeping things professional gets harder the longer I’m in town, until the only lesson I have left to learn is how to keep both our hearts from getting broken.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I absolutely adored Madison and Blaze.

Mads was such a likeble character. Her determination to be a sports reporter and her willingness to move from everything she knew and those closest to her for a chance at her dream job showed her character strength. She was quick witted and the perfect other half for Blaze.

Blaze Beckham, hot, talented pro footballer with the Boston Blizzard needs someone to help him get organised and be where he’s supposed to be to keep him on track. Enter Madison.
Their first meet was funny and I liked that she wasn’t completely star struck meeting or working for Blaze…. though she was honest enough to herself to admit how she felt about him and how attracted to him she was.

I enjoyed the growth and development of their relationship. Blaze knew fairly quickly that he wanted something with Mads but he was prepared to take his time, lay the groundwork and get to really know her as he headed towards the future he suddenly saw and wanted.

The heat between this pair was off the charts once they got together…. Yeah, chapter 32 was quite something but their very first ‘encounter’ together had me overheated I can tell you!!!!

There was fun banter, great supportive friends, a really good story arc and to my delight, no third act break up. I’m looking forward to seeing if Dia and Dalton get together, they were both fab… but I cannot wait for Tanner’s book, I’ve got sooooo many questions about him!!!

Cannot wait for more from C.L. Rose, the Blizzard guys and their significant others.

RELEASE BLITZ – Boone (Broken Falls #1) by Laramie Briscoe

Jan 13

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

I’m old enough to be her father, and a life-long confirmed bachelor, but after one night together, all that is about to change.

Blurb:

Boone Wilson

Instead of building my forever with a conventional family, I’ve dedicated my life to being the best father I can to the son I had way too early in life. Now that he’s grown, I’m giving all I can to my job. I make a construction site run smoothly, and can build anything with a couple pieces of wood and my imagination.

My world is small and calm. That’s how I like it. Until Alexis Monroe barrels her way into my peaceful existence and turns my world upside down.

Alexis Monroe

Since graduating college I’ve been hustling, trying to make a dent in the crippling student loan debt I’ve accumulated. Just when I think I’m about to hit major burnout, Boone Wilson walks into the bar I sling drinks at.

His swagger and quiet self-assuredness is a flame that draws me to him.

All I can do now? Try not to get burned.

The Broken Falls Series is a new small-town, steamy, blue collar romance series set in the fictional town of Broken Falls, WV from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Laramie Briscoe.

Preorder Abel – Book #2

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 eating 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.

Tropes Included

small town
he falls first
golden retriever boyfriend
friends to lovers

Abel is book two in The Broken Falls Series: a series of interconnected standalones following a group of friends who have become family in small-town West Virginia, and the women who bring them to their knees. You do not have to read them in order, but each book builds upon the relationships of the last.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I adored this read. Boone was perfect for Alexis.

I really liked Boone’s view on having his son so young. It wasn’t easy but they grew together and just have a fantastic relationship. All Abel wants is for his dad to be happy, even if that means bringing someone new into the ‘family’ that they have. I love found family / family of choice in a book and Boone and his boy had a great group around them.

I’m not always a fan of age differences but it didn’t feel like an issue with Alexia and Boone. Alexis knew what she wanted – and what she didn’t – and I was all for how willing Boone was to fully support her in the things she did.
Alexis was the first person that Boone could see more than one night with and his acknowledgement of that was quick as was his determination to make sure that Alexis was aware he was all in.

A great read about love, adapting your expectations and grabbing your future with both hands when you see it.
No third act break up was the extra cherry on top for me.

Excellent first book in this new small town series. I cannot wait to read Abel’s story!!

**Thanks to Buoni Amici Press for an advance copy of Boone. As with all fave authors of mine I’ve already got my own kindle copy on order. All thoughts are my own. **
