USA Today and Amazon Charts Bestselling author, Adriana Locke, writes contemporary romances about the two things she knows best—big families and small towns. Her stories are about ordinary people finding extraordinary love with the perfect combination of heart, heat, and humor.

She loves connecting with readers, fall weather, football, reading alpha heroes, everything pumpkin, and pretending to garden.

Hailing from a tiny town in the Midwest, Adriana spends her free time with her high school sweetheart (who she married over twenty years ago) and their four sons (who truly are her best work). Her kitchen may be a perpetual disaster, and if all else fails, there is always pizza.

When I score the promotion of my dreams and my boss tells me to become best friends with the new head coach of the Vegas Aces, I do everything I can to prevent the inevitable from happening.

The Vegas Aces could’ve hired anyone as their head coach. Despite my protests and warnings, they chose Lincoln Nash.

With a family rivalry spanning two decades, I’ve been conditioned to hate the entire family. But there’s a special passion to my hatred for the new coach. He was my first when we were teenagers, and then a few days later, he broke my heart.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

RIVALRY

I’m not a fan of cliff-hangers and having never read Lisa’s books before I wasn’t expecting that here…. BUT…. Ms Suzanne did a great job of holding my attention during the read that I wasn’t TOO gutted when I got to the end of this instalment!

Honestly, this book had me overthinking everything between Jolene & Lincoln, I’m itching to know what other secrets Lincoln’s dad might be keeping… as well as Lincoln himself.
What skullduggery is gonna be afoot from the camp of some competition…..

I’d love to know more about Jolene’s ex and what happened there. She’s got her best friend and her son but she seems pretty alone. I hope she’s at least honest with herself when it comes to Lincoln going forward.

For me, neither of them have really lived a life since the fateful day 20 years ago. Lincoln hasn’t got much to show outwith his career and why does his dad still have such a hold on him?

I’ve looked at the blurb for the upcoming books and I’m not sure how to feel about some things that are coming – I’ve got a feeling I might want to throw my kindle a time or two before this 5 book (how am I gonna cope?!?!?!) series comes to a close.

I’ve got my fingers crossed for our pair but I’m failing on the hope side at this point in time if I’m being honest!!

4 stars (mainly because of the cliffy ending!!)

* I would recommend that you read Penalty (free prequel to book one) to fully understand the reason for the depths of feelings between this couple!!

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

CALL PLAY

Oh the gods…… I’m not gonna get through another 3 instalments if this angst keeps up!!!!

Play Call starts where Rivalry ended and it’s another cliff hanger ending. The heat, passion and honesty (though not all their truths are revealed!!) ramp up in this instalment ….. This pair felt a heart deep connection when they were younger and now, two decades later, this connection is only more palpable.

There’s so much stacking up against them that even though they’ve admitted (at least fully to themselves if not each other) how they feel about the other and they truly want time together, it’s like fate hates them and keeps throwing roadblocks and problems in their faces.

I honestly detest Lincoln’s father and Jolene’s dad isn’t far behind in my feelings. The pressure they put on their kids, even as grown adults, it’s severe.

I felt sick along with Jolene during some of this read and I’m dreading what’s coming next…….

Another solid 4* read

RELEASE BLITZ – Make-Believe Match (Cherry Tree Harbor #3) by Melanie Harlow

Nov 22

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Make-Believe Match by Melanie Harlow is now live!

𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝘆 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗺𝘆? 𝗡𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝘆.

𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆’𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗸𝗶 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘁? 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆…

Getting hitched is the only way I can inherit Snowberry Lodge, and I’ll do anything to spare my childhood home from the wrecking ball-even wear Devlin Buckley’s ring on my finger.

Not that I’ll enjoy it.

Sure, he’s charming and handsome, and that no-last-names one night stand we shared ended with a fantastically big bang (I saw stars I hadn’t seen in six months, if you catch my drift).

But I’ll never trust him-he was working for the company trying to bulldoze my life.

Right up until the day he knocked on my door with an offer I couldn’t refuse.

Marry him, and he’ll help me restore my family’s crumbling resort to its former glory-and get revenge on his ex-boss in the process. Once our goals are achieved, we’ll go our separate ways.

𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆. 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀. 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄.

𝗨𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗜 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝘀 “𝗺𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝗳𝗲.”

Once we’re sharing a last name-and a bed-our make-believe match starts to feel a little too real.

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗳 𝗜’𝗺 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹, 𝗜 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴… 𝗺𝘆 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲, 𝗺𝘆 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁.

RELEASE BLITZ – Clown Motel (Welcome to the Circus #4) by Lani Lynn Vale

Nov 21

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

CLOWN MOTEL

Series: Welcome to the Circus #4

Lani Lynn Vale

Release Date: November 21, 2023

Blurb:

It’s not every day you meet a man at the bar, stare at him for hours, and then right when you decide to make a move, he gets up to leave. Worse, when you follow him outside, you see him completely change his appearance by shucking a wig and a button down shirt, dropping them into the nearest trash can.

When Crimson looks around to see who noticed the complete one-eighty that’s just taken place, not a single person notices or cares. When she looks back, he’s gone.

Dejected, she leaves, thinking maybe she’d hallucinated and made the whole night up.

Only, just as she passes a dark alley, she’s taken. Literally and figuratively.

That’s the night that Winston Cyrus Osborn, III walks into her life.

***

Crimson is the worst type of woman.

She’s curious.

And curiosity kills the cat in his line of work.

With nothing else left to lose, he’s set to rid this world of the filth that infests it. And in doing that, he’s made a lot of enemies that would like nothing better than to ruin him and every single person he cares about.

At every turn, she’s there, insinuating herself into his life. And despite his attempts to keep her at arm’s length, she blows past every single barrier he erects.

He should really stay away.

He should also make sure that she stays out of his business.

Yet, he keeps letting her in. And she keeps reminding him why he wants her to stay.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I’m thoroughly enjoying the Welcome to the Circus series by LLV.

This is the fourth book in the series and the gods, there was a lot to unpack here!!!

Winston and Crimson were quite the pair. One is a bit of a (in all honesty, a huge) control freak and the other kinda won’t do a thing they’re told at times…. Made for some fun scenes.

There were things that had been hinted at in Hades book that were brought fully to light in Clown Motel. This was a harder hitting book than the first and second and involved the family more than previous books but it was another great read and I’m looking forward to the rest of the series.

COVER REVEAL – A Little Luck by Tia Louise

Nov 17

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Tia Louise has revealed the covers for A Little Luck!

Releasing December 14, 2023

BLURB

Adam Stone is not a saint.

He’s six-foot-two, naughty blue eyes, cocky grin, and a bod blessed by the gods.

He’s a surfer, a soldier, a pilot, and he’s been my friend since I moved to our small town when we were just kids.

But another man took my hand.

He took my innocence, took my trust, and broke my heart.

I was young. I didn’t know love could be a weapon.

I didn’t know the hand that caressed you could also cut you.

Now that man is dead, and I’m a single-mom survivor wearing a mask so perfect, no one knows the truth. Trust doesn’t come easy, and surviving is a hard habit to break.

But when a plumbing disaster leaves me homeless, one night in Adam Stone’s (supposedly) empty bed changes everything.

I’ve hidden my scars so long, I don’t know how else to be, but I want to try.

I’m in love with Adam Stone. I love every glance, every wink, every furtive touch…

He says he’s different. He says he loves me and my son, and he wants to take care of us.

I believe in this love.

All I need is a little luck.

(A LITTLE LUCK is a spicy small-town, single mom romance with elements of forced proximity, only one bed, who did this to you, he falls first, and a touch of suspense. No cheating. No cliffhanger.)

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

All I Want For Christmas Is You by Erika Kelly is now live!

Her children are grown, her ex betrayed her in the worst way, and it’s her first Christmas alone. What better way to spend it than with the hottest man she’s ever seen? She deserves a little fun after losing everything she’s worked so hard for.

Margot Rhodes is glad to wake up in her hotel room to an empty bed. Her one and only hookup was phenomenal, but she doesn’t need to say goodbye to a man she’ll never see again. Except when she comes downstairs…she finds him in the lobby.

A snowstorm shut down the airport, and now she’s stuck with him for three days.

She needs to rebuild her life—not fall for some guy who lives two thousand miles away–so she does her best to avoid him, but the infuriating man keeps teaming up with her in the holiday events the hotel owner’s arranged to keep her guests happy.

And then, when it’s time to go their separate ways, he makes an offer she can’t refuse. It requires a move to his hometown…but what does she have to lose? She’s starting from the bottom which means the only way forward is up.

She’s got a second chance at life…is she willing to risk it all for a dirty-talking stranger?

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 BLITZ – A Very Cheeky Christmas (A The Naughty List Series Standalone) by Kat Baxter

Nov 15

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Title: A Very Cheeky Christmas
A The Naughty List Series Standalone
Author: Kat Baxter

Genre: Steamy Romantic Comedy

Release Date: November 14, 2023

Tropes: Reverse Grumpy Sunshine/Holiday Romance He Falls First/Forced Proximity

BLURB

I’ve been voted Mr. Perfect Cheeks for the last five years. Though I do have a nice smile, it’s not those cheeks that warrant the attention. So yeah, my behind is my bread and butter. But when my most lucrative asset is injured, I’m sent to the set medic. To say I fall head over derriere in love with her is an understatement. Maxine is jaded about love though, so it’ll take all my small-town Texas charm to woo this curvy California grump that I’m in it, to win it. And by it, I mean her.

***

Eight of your favorite authors are putting the “Naughty” into “The Naughty List.”
When the cast and crew are summoned to Heart and Soul studios to film a last-minute Christmas movie The Naughty List, the mood is more bah, humbug than merry and bright.
But when the lights illuminate and the camera rolls, the action on set transforms from frosty to steamy faster than Santa can empty his sack down the chimney.
As Christmas Eve approaches, will these star-crossed lovers go their separate ways, or will they choose to stay on The Naughty List… together?
*Please note, these stories were originally released as part of the Hollywood Humbug anthology.
