๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ก๐๐๐ข๐ฃ๐๐๐: a second chance, small town romance novella (Fallen Brook Book 7) by award-winning author Jennilynn Wyer is now LIVE!!! Don’t miss this all new angsty romance!
Aria Whitlock said she loved me, but I choked on the words and couldnโt say them back. Wanting to protect her from my past and my darkness, I walked away from the only woman who ever owned my heart.
For over a year, the ache of her absence consumed me until I had no other choice but to move back home to Dearborne, North Carolina, determined to reclaim the woman I foolishly left behind.
Get ready, Aria, because I will do anything to win you backโincluding moving in right next door.
Love Everlasting is a second chance, small town romance novella that includes:
*a possessive MMC who will do anything to win back the woman he loves
*a strong and sassy FMC
*forced proximity
*next door neighbors
*sports (baseball)
*love-hate banter
*angst
*HEA
Readerโs Note: Love Everlasting is a steamy, second chance, small town romance novella (25K words) set in the world of Fallen Brook: The Montgomerys. Readers begged me for Masonโs story after falling in love with him in Wanderlost (he was Bennettโs best friend). Mason returned in About That Night (he was Douglassโs BFF with benefits). Now, he gets his own HEA. You do not have to read either book to enjoy the novella unless you want more information on Masonโs backstory.
ABOUT JENNILYNN WYER:
Jennilynn Wyer is multi-award winning romance author (Rudy Award winner for Romantic Suspense, HOLT Medallion Award winner, four-time Contemporary Romance Writers Stiletto Finalist, three-time HOLT Medallion Award Finalist, and a Carolyn Reader’s Choice Award Finalist) and an international Amazon best-selling author of steamy, New Adult romances as well as dark reverse harem romances. She also pens YA romance under the pen name JL Wyer. She is a sassy Southern belle who lives a real-life friends-to-lovers trope with her blue-eyed British husband. When not writing, sheโs nestled in her favorite reading spot, e-reader in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other, enjoying the latest romance novel.
Iโm her brother’s best friend, and for the past ten years, I’ve also been Addison McKenzieโs 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.
Sheโs 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 itโs 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 Iโve been in love with Addison for years. And I have no intention of giving up on us now.
This is one of my favourite books so far this yearโฆ. and Chase Lockhart is by far my fave MMC of the series!!!!
The godsโฆ this pair!!! What Addidon McKenzie thought and perceived and what actually happened were polar oppositesโฆ. but she was hell bent on not giving her long time โpartnerโ 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 himโฆ..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 isnโt 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 hadnโt ended up stuck together as they did.
The things this man did with her in mind FOR 10 YEARS without her realising.. ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ When the truth all came outโฆ.. my heart was bursting (in the best of ways!!!!)
So many emotions, the highs, the banter, the โgiftโ and holy smokes THE HEAT, this book had it all. The scene where their relationship became public knowledgeโฆ.. 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 & Chaseโs story. Loved catching up with the brothers and their significant others.
Iโm sad this series is coming to an end but Iโm so very excited for Leviโs story and canโt 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!

Tropes: Small Town/Billionaire/Brotherโs Best Friend
BLURB
People in this small town are whisperingโฆ
What theyโre saying is that the billionaire is back and heโs going after his best friendโs sister.
What Iโm trying to do is help Claire Sweeneyโs bakery business.
What I havenโt been able to admit to myself is that in all this time, no matter how hard I tried, I never forgot her.
Now sheโs all grown up. I canโt stop thinking about her muffin. Or how guilty I feel when I fantasize about buttering it.
Claire has always been as much a part of Beacon Harbor as the hanging flower baskets, the boat tours, and the lobster races. She has no idea how beautiful I think she is. Even when she has flour on her face. Even when sheโs rolling her eyes at me.
Iโve got her brotherโs approval, but now itโs Claire that I really have to convince.
She doesnโt believe we have the right ingredients for a real relationshipโso she only agrees to pretend to be my girlfriend to help me close a deal in New York.
I believe sheโs about to discover exactly how I roll when I know what I want.

He is excited to now create those stories as an author.

Forever wasnโt supposed to look like this.
When Leona Granger studied abroad in Ireland, she spent a lot more time falling in love with Callum Walsh than she did in the classroom. On the eve of her return to the States, she promised to come back for him when she finished college. They said goodbye under the stars, sealing their promise with more than just a kiss.
Callum has spent the last twelve years trying not to wonder why Leona, and everyone else for that matter, finds it so easy to leave him behind. Now a single father, all he wants is to give his beautiful daughter the best life he can. Nothing, not even Leona showing up after a decade of radio silence, will get in the way of that.
But Leona had her reasons for not returning. When the just-good-enough life she built in the wake of losing the baby she never told Callum about falls apart, she realizes itโs time to come clean. It might be too late to keep her promise to Callum, but for the child they lost, she has to try.
Faced with feelings they long thought buried, Callum and Leona have to decide if itโs worth exposing all their hidden scars for a second chance at the promise of forever with the one that never shouldโve gotten away.

Brooke I didnโt wake up one day and decide to be a Disney princess, but for the last six months, Iโve been living the dream.

When my roommate offers to cover my share of the rent if I work her friendโs little girlโs party, I donโt hesitate. Onlyโฆshe forgets to mention a few things. Like that I would love the birthday girl the moment I met her. Or that the man who let me down seven years ago would crash the party. And she definitely didnโt say anything about the jerk single father who just happens to be the hottest man on the planet. Paxton Foster is nowhere close to being Prince Charmingโฆ But he sure does spend a lot of time rescuing me.
Paxton No amount of money could make up for the mistakes of my past, but Iโve been trying. And then Brooke stormed into my life like a Category 5 hurricane, turning everything in my world upside down. Yet suddenly, it seems right side up for the first time. There are a billion reasons why I canโt have her. I have secrets. Sheโs far too young. And then thereโs the small matter of her hating my best friend. But she is exactly what my daughter and I need, and Iโll do whatever I have to in order to keep her. With Brooke, I feel as if I can finally find redemption.
