RELEASE BLITZ – The Billionaire Is Back by Kayley Loring & Connor Crais


Title: The Billionaire Is Back
Authors: Kayley Loring & Connor Crais

Genres: Contemporary Romance/Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Small Town/Billionaire/Brother’s Best Friend
Release Date: January 25, 2024

BLURB

People in this small town are whispering…

What they’re saying is that the billionaire is back and he’s going after his best friend’s sister.

What I’m trying to do is help Claire Sweeney’s bakery business.

What I haven’t been able to admit to myself is that in all this time, no matter how hard I tried, I never forgot her.

Now she’s all grown up. I can’t 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 she’s rolling her eyes at me.

I’ve got her brother’s approval, but now it’s Claire that I really have to convince.

She doesn’t believe we have the right ingredients for a real relationship—so she only agrees to pretend to be my girlfriend to help me close a deal in New York.

I believe she’s about to discover exactly how I roll when I know what I want.

And what I want is her.

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?

From L.B. Dunbar comes an all-new small-town romance with a big family and the silver fox swoon one expects from her love over-40 romances.

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


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.

Today, she has more than 30 knee-slapping Pippa Grant titles and nine written as Jamie Farrell. When she’s not writing romantic comedies, she’s fumbling through being a mom, wife, and mountain woman, and sometimes trying to find hobbies. Her crowning achievement?

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

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.

Excerpt:


“Where are you going?” I ask as she tries to slip past me to the stairs.

She turns to face me, pointing at a spot on her blouse, but my eyes get hung up on the peek of cleavage the generous V allows.

“Nice. You look great.” 

She does. The boots, the worn jeans, the flowy top, and the fuckable hairdo. She looks hot.

“Excuse me, that’s not where I’m pointing,” she schools me. “I need to put some water on this, you made me spill my taco,” she clarifies.

“I did?”

Seems like a bit of a stretch, given that I was here and she was sitting all the way over there, but I like the sound of putting water on her blouse. It’ll only improve the view.

“You startled me. What are you doing here anyway?” she asks, narrowing her eyes on me. 

I lean my hip against the railing and cross my arms, smirking at her. 

“Watching the rodeo, like everyone else.”

She crosses her own arms and grins back. “Let me guess, this was a last-minute decision?”   

Her eyes sparkle, drawing me in.

“Maybe,” I concede, taking a step closer.

“It wouldn’t have anything to do with me being here, would it?” she probes. 

“It’s a distinct possibility.”

I take another step until I’m flush against her. Then, with the tip of my finger, I lift her chin and take her mouth. It’s so damn easy to get lost in this woman, I almost forget where I am until a couple of whistles go up behind me. 

Then someone yells, “Not the kind of bucking I thought I was in for tonight. Sit the hell down or get a damn room!”

Releasing Lindsey, I snap my head around to pinpoint the smart-ass. Instead, I catch sight of Booger and the other two I decided to bring, snickering in their seats. So I shoot them a glare instead. 

At that moment Lindsey makes her escape, darting down the stairs. I point a finger at the boys. “Do not move.” Then I take off after her.

I just catch sight of her slipping into the bathrooms and resign myself to wait outside. I lean my back against the wall and get comfortable, but I don’t have to wait that long before she reappears. She tries to hide a smile when she catches sight of me pushing off from the wall. 

“You know, I could probably find my own way back.”

“I’m aware,” I tell her, touching the wet spot on her shirt before lifting my hands to her face. “But I just needed another taste without the audience.”

I keep the kiss short and sweet. An appetizer for later.

“I’ll come by after.”

She tilts her head. “I’m sorry, I must have missed the question in there.” Then she glances past me toward the rodeo arena. “And you’re making me miss the cowboys.”

“F*ck the cowboys,” I grumble, giving her hair a little tug. “If I show up later, will you be home?”

“Probably. Unless I get a better offer,” she teases, before brushing past me toward the stairs.

“You’d better be,” I call after her. “Or I’ll come looking for you.”

At the base of the stairs, she looks back, a smirk on her face.

“Yippee ki-yay.”

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.

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.

AUTHOR BIO

Pippa Grant wanted to write books, so she did. Before she became a USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling romantic comedy author, she was a young military spouse who got into writing as self-therapy. That happened around the time she discovered reading romance novels, and the two eventually merged into a career. Today, she has more than 30 knee-slapping Pippa Grant titles and nine written as Jamie Farrell. When she’s not writing romantic comedies, she’s fumbling through being a mom, wife, and mountain woman, and sometimes trying to find hobbies. Her crowning achievement? Having impeccable timing for telling stories that will make people snort beverages out of their noses. Consider yourself warned.

BLURB:

Blaze

I’m at the top of my game. Star receiver of the Boston Blizzard, huge new contract, women throwing themselves at me nightly. But when I find myself needing some extra help keeping my life together, I don’t expect a sexy little firecracker to show up at my doorstep. And the kicker? She knows all about my football world. When I overhear her on a phone call talking about how no man in Boston can give her what she needs, I find myself scrambling to figure out how to make her submit to me in more ways than one. But I won’t stop with just her body. I want her heart, too.

Mads

From the time I was little, all I’ve ever wanted to be is a sports journalist. So, when I’m offered my dream internship in a city a thousand miles from home, I pack up my life and head to Beantown. But when I find myself working for the city’s most famous (and hottest) football player as his new assistant, it takes everything I have to keep my eyes and hands off his abs and remain professional. Especially now that I’m living under his roof and seeing the dirtier side of him that nobody else knows about.

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.
