Book Blurb: 

Dog trainer and handler, Jillian Lederman, is moving with her pack to Libby, Montana, a place where she has made friends and hopes to find a fresh start. It’s time. For years, she’s just been keeping her wounds fresh by staying in Missoula—where there were regular reminders of all she’s lost—while the rest of the world has continued to move forward. 

Perhaps the new house, the beautiful mountains, and a certain pair of clear, blue eyes hold the promise of new beginnings. 

Since changing careers years ago, former FBI agent Lucas Wolff has found a much better work-life balance as a member of High Mountain Trackers. Still able to serve his community, he has also been carving out a comfortable existence for himself and is not looking to make any changes to it anytime soon. Not even for a particular bold and ballsy redhead he’s been trying to avoid.

That turns out to be an impossible feat when a plane crash during a blizzard sets both of them on the trail of a young girl, all alone in the mountains. But it soon becomes evident they are not the only ones looking, and staying safe means sticking close together. 

BLP TEVIEW – Tracy

I’m loving this spin off series more and more as we meet these guys.

Jillian and Lucas had met previously in the last book and there’s was a definite attraction but when one of you has a painful past and the other doesn’t believe in love and lasting relationships, is there anywhere to go?!

This pair start off working together and become friends.
The attraction and chemistry never wanes but they both need a person to rely on and be there, though neither would admit it. They were exactly what each needed and I loved seeing their friendship progress to more.

As ever we caught up with other characters and familiar faces from earlier in the series. I adored Wolf’s mum. She was lovely and a little impish when it came to Lucas and Jillian anytime Jill was visiting with the dogs and Lucas was around.

You know by now to expect lots of intrigue, some secrets and twists and a ton of action in the story along with a sense of family and belonging and a big dose of heat and tension (of a few kinds) when it comes to the MCs in a Freya Barker book and High Intensity definitely lived up to its title!

Where this could be read as a standalone, you’d be missing out if you didn’t start at the beginning of the series.

Can’t wait for more in the series.

RELEASE BLITZ – Guarded From Danger (Police and Fire: Operation Alpha (Blade and Arrow Security Bravo Team Book 3) by Gia Cobie

Title: Guarded from Danger

Series: Police and Fire: Operation Alpha (Blade and Arrow Security Bravo Team Book 3)

Author: Gia Cobie

Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: January 14, 2025

Amazon ➜  https://bit.ly/3Bj8Fta

Book Blurb:

I wrote romance stories. But I never expected to be living in one.

At least, it started out that way.

In the kind of meet-cute I’d put in my own books, I met Xavier by the romance section in a bookstore. Within the first five minutes, I knew he was someone I wanted to see again. And in some stroke of luck, he felt the same way, asking me out on a date before he left.

For the next few months after that, everything was perfect. An amazing boyfriend—handsome, sweet, not just former Special Forces, but worked for an elite security company—who treated me like gold. It was just like all the stories I created in my head, but this time, it was real.

Until the worst night of my life. When I was taken. Held captive. And the fate I faced was worse than anything I could have written. My romance story turned into a nightmare.

My only hope? Xavier. I know he’s looking for me. My only hope is he finds me before it’s too late.

From the moment I met her, I knew she was the one.

After years of avoiding relationships, of insisting I was happier being single, she stole my heart with a smile.

Lucy’s smile is like the sun. Warm. Bright. Happy. It thaws the cold parts of me and makes me think anything is possible. A home filled with love. A wife. And maybe one day, even a family.

I would do anything for her.

Then she’s taken, I discover what that really means.

With the help of my team at Blade and Arrow Security, we track her down. Free Lucy from her terrible captivity. But she’s hurt. Traumatized. And still in danger.

It might be enough to scare off a lesser man. Not me. Not for the first woman I’ve seen a future with. And I’ll do anything to keep her safe.

Guarded from Danger has a protective alpha hero, a strong and sweet heroine, a team of former Green Berets, lots of twists and turns, action and danger, forced proximity, and plenty of sweet and steamy moments. No cliffhangers and a happily-ever-after guaranteed! (Can be read as a standalone!)

About Gia:

Britt

I might be newly divorced, but it feels like I’ve been single a long time. That’s how it goes when you’re been married to a guy that can’t ever be counted on. And being a single mom–well, opportunities to date anyone worthy of being around my daughter are pretty slim… until I have an unexpected run in with the hot ER doctor who patched me up after I broke my leg. He checks all the boxes. Hot. Funny. Gainfully employed. Not my ex. Even though I’m not in the market for a relationship, I feel like he might be able to help me fix what’s broken inside me… if I can let myself trust him.

Silas

I haven’t been able to get her out of my head since the night she was brought into the ER. Stoic, practical, strong, independent. And gorgeous. I’ve never had a woman get under my skin this way. She’s looking for a hook up. I’m looking for a lot more than that. But I know she’s a package deal. With her track record, gaining her trust isn’t going to be easy. But nothing that’s worth it ever is.

Here’s your exclusive excerpt!

“Oh, Jillian, I’d like you to meet my son, Lucas.” I meet those pretty green eyes, now sparkling with amusement. Of course a dog named Peanut would belong to this woman. She named her cadaver dog, Emo, after all. Hell, I knew she recently moved to the area—Sloane mentioned it more than once—but I wasn’t expecting to run into her at my mother’s assisted-living home. That’s a little too close for comfort. “So you do have a first name; Lucas, huh?” “You already know each other?” Mom looks back and forth between us. “We do. How are you doing, Jillian?” She adjusts the small furball she’s holding in her arms. “Good, thanks.” I turn to my mother to explain, “Jillian and I met working on a search last summer.” Despite my immediate attempt to identify our connection as a professional one only, I see Mom’s mind already at work behind the gleam in her eyes. Great.

Book Blurb:

My new roommate is a hard-working, blue collar lineman–and a scorching specimen of a man–but I swear I don’t watch him when he’s not looking.

He’s not looking, because Vaughn Collins knows that I, Valentina Brewster, have never been touched. And him? He’s had more than a few rounds with the bucket bunnies.

I escaped a lifestyle where religious freedom wasn’t accepted, and started to build a future for myself, when my father found me.

Now that I’ve decided to stop running, Vaughn wants to protect me, and I’m willing to let him do it. But the forced proximity is starting to get to us. I’m not sure how much longer I’ll be able to hold off.

I’m terribly close to asking him to teach me all the things I’ve always wanted to know.

I have a feeling he’ll have no problem saying yes…

Tropes Included

· small town
· blue collar
· forced proximity
· she asks him to teach her
· he’s only tender for her

Vaughn is book five 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.

 

Read an excerpt from Vaughn:

She looks around. “I forgot where we were, I’m glad you at least kept your head about you.”

If she only knew, I’m ready to get her behind closed doors so that we can get to know one another in the carnal way I’d like. “I wouldn’t say I kept my head about me, I’m just very motivated to get you alone, Val. Let’s go.”

Her lips part on a gasp when I reach down and put my hands at her hips, lifting her up and encouraging her to wrap her legs around my waist. My hands travel down to her ass, holding on tight as I walk us back to the stairs and then take them two at a time. Once we’re back in the apartment, her gaze travels over to the stove.

“I was going to make us dinner…”

“Don’t worry babe, I got everything I wanna eat right here.”

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

Vaughn was a little bit of an enigma previously in the series. We knew he was a lineman and gone more often than not. He did intrigue me, I’ll admit, especially his reaction to Valentina the first time he saw her in Get Baked.

The thing about V is that he was a guy was just waiting for the right woman to cross his path before he got serious, he just didn’t realise it. Val hit him like a ton of bricks and brought out his protective, patient, caring side.

Valentina….. the gods, I loved her strength and her concern that she was swapping one situation for another until she realised that Vaughn was there to support and care for her, not hold her back.

I liked the time they spent together, getting to know each other and the trust that she showed him after everything she’d been through. He, for his part, listened to her, got her like no one had ever tried to in the past and helped her find herself.

Always enjoy catching up with the gang and liked the relationship Val had with Gabby. It definitely felt like a blooming sibling relationship and it was lovely that Val had so much support and so many people looking out for her – even when it came to Vaughn, though she knew herself enough to know what she wanted where the big brooding bloke was concerned.

I’m now really intrigued with Nolan and his situation. Can’t wait for his book!!!!

Book Blurb:

I’m the hottest tight end in the league, and I’m ready to shoot my shot…

Blake

Nine years playing professional football for the Nashville Warriors has taught me a lot. I’ve learned not everyone is your friend, the fans can and will turn on you, and most importantly when you find love? You’ve got to grab it with both hands and never let it go.

I’ve had a crush on pop star Willa for years, but I was in a long-term relationship. When my ex and I break up and Willa makes a tour stop near one of our games, the stars align.

I’m only expecting to talk to her for a few minutes and explain how much I admire her. Instead, we’re hooked up by mutual friends, and as they say, chemistry as electric as ours? It can’t be denied.

Willa

I’m a fresh off the end of a long-term relationship. I’ve taken the required time that women like me need when our hearts are broken, and now I’m ready to get out and play the field again.

The only thing is; I don’t expect “the field” to mean with an actual professional athlete.

But when I meet Blake Whitfield, I know my life is never going to be the same. Late nights, early mornings, public outings, and the opinions of every person around us isn’t enough to discourage this love story.

As they say; let the games begin…

The Air I Breathe is a steamy sports/pop star romance standalone. She’s insecure, and he’s a golden retriever boyfriend. Together they are an every-day love story that the reader can get lost in. Adult situations and mentions of a miscarriage should be noted. Read with care if those things may bother you.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I love Laramie’s books and this was no exception.

A little different from her series books that I can’t get enough of and because of that it was the perfect read for me at this point.

Blake & Willa were perfect and I could definitely have read more about the pair as their connection and spark was instant and their banter was great.

Blake with his determination to see Willa was just fab, even if his plan didn’t quite work.
How they were finally put in each others’ path and the organic growth of their relationship made for such great reading.

This was such an easy, engaging, heartwarming but smoldering read. Everything about this pair shouted that they were meant to be together.

A really fun, enjoyable read – it definitely gives you a little current celebrity couple vibe – this was a hit for me!!!!

Excerpt:

“What do you need me to do?” I offer.

Next thing I know, my arms open automatically when she shoves the baby at me.

“Take her.”

Ama disappears inside before my brain can come up with an objection.

Any baby experience I have began and ended with Carmi, Sully’s daughter, and Fletch’s son, Hunter, and that was twelve or thirteen years ago. It’s not that I don’t like babies, because I do, but the fact this is Sloane’s baby is making it a little awkward. Still, I settle her a little better in the crook of my arm.

Then I hear the creak of the rocking chair and Thomas’s raspy chuckle and look up. The old fart clearly thinks this is funny.

“You should see the look on your face,” he points out as he continues to rock his chair. “I’m guessing young Sloane becoming a parent was a surprise to you as well?”

 “Yes,” I grumble, just as a little hand slaps against my chin and catches on the short hairs of my beard.

I drop my eyes to Sloane’s baby, who has her little face turned toward me. I don’t know who the dark hair belongs to, but those blue eyes are unmistakably her mother’s.

“Aspen. That’s her name,” Thomas shares. “Pretty little thing, ain’t she?”

She is, especially when her little mouth spreads in a wide, toothless smile.

“You look good holdin’ that baby,” he continues. “Too bad you let her momma slip away, or that wee one could’a been yours.”

Fuck. That stings.

Should’ve known the old man wouldn’t hesitate to poke his finger in the sore spot.

“I’m not the one who left.”

The bitter comment slips out before I can check it.

“No, you weren’t. You’re just the one who let her walk.”

Agitated, I get to my feet, shifting the baby to my shoulder as I start to pace the porch.

“It wasn’t that simple.”

“It never is, son. It never is.”

Book Blurb:

When the rug is pulled from under Detective Sloane Eckhart, she leaves the Billings PD and returns to Libby, Montana.

Eight years ago she left with her pride and the promise of a future, but her heart was broken. On her return, there is no pride left, no prospects to speak of, but at least her heart is safely secured in the back seat.

Still, a bit of groveling, a kind offer of help, and a brand-new job with the sheriff’s office quickly gets her back on her feet.

High Meadow will always be home to Dan Blakely. Working with horses, being part of the HMT search and rescue team, and now building his own home right next door checks all his boxes. Only one thing is missing, but that dream walked out the door a long time ago.

Still, his life is good, steady…and perhaps a little boring.

That quickly changes when the rescue of a young, teenage girl, places the new sheriff’s detective squarely in his path. He’s not bored now, doing his best to keep her safe, even as their past holds them back while they fight for a future.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I loved the original HMT series so was delighted when Freya announced she was writing ‘the next generation’ books!!

We met Dan & Sloane in the original series. At that point Dan was dealing with a lot of issues around caring for his mum, proving his worth at the ranch and in all honesty, he had enough on his plate never mind having time for someone else..
Sloane at this same point was trying to work out who she was and what she wanted to do with her life.
There was an obvious attraction but we never knew what exactly, if anything, happened between them.

Fast forward a few years and Sloane has returned ‘home’, living in a cabin on the ranch and starting a new job. Dan is now a solid part of the HMT team and has definitely grown up.

This pair!! I loved them together. I especially liked Dan’s patience and perseverance.
Sloane was determined to move on with her life, given her most recent history with guys it was understandable that she was throwing off ‘not interested’ vibes when they met again.
Dan for his part knew what he wanted and realised he had a second chance right in front of him that he wasn’t missing again.

There was a lot of suspense and drama in the read which I enjoyed. The heat and passion between Sloane & Dan came off the page and I loved how he took care of her.

Catching up with the HMT OG’s and discovering who the new ‘young guns’ are was fun. I’m really looking forward to the rest of the series and I’m so intrigued about the couple who are next up after the teasers Freya gave us!!!

If you’ve read the original HMT series you’re gonna love this but if you haven’t, this new series is a great place to start!

Book Blurb:

My new roommate is a hard-working, blue collar lineman–and a scorching specimen of a man–but I swear I don’t watch him when he’s not looking.

He’s not looking, because Vaughn Collins knows that I, Valentina Brewster, have never been touched. And him? He’s had more than a few rounds with the bucket bunnies.

I escaped a lifestyle where religious freedom wasn’t accepted, and started to build a future for myself, when my father found me.

Now that I’ve decided to stop running, Vaughn wants to protect me, and I’m willing to let him do it. But the forced proximity is starting to get to us. I’m not sure how much longer I’ll be able to hold off.

I’m terribly close to asking him to teach me all the things I’ve always wanted to know.

I have a feeling he’ll have no problem saying yes…

Tropes Included

· small town
· blue collar
· forced proximity
· she asks him to teach her
· he’s only tender for her

Vaughn is book five 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.

Book Blurb:

Barrett Grant is wild AF with hips he knows how to use, and he’s also eleven years younger than me…

Gabby

Get Baked is the culmination of every dream I had as a twenty-something. A dream my ex-husband stomped like a bug beneath the tip of his expensive Italian leather shoe. When I left with nothing more than my dignity and a vintage stand mixer I found at a thrift store, all I wanted was to be happy. Promised myself I wouldn’t settle until that happened.

Years later, it’s finally happening in the small town of Broken Falls, WV. My dreams are coming true, my happiness is so close I can reach out and touch it.

But my secrets? They won’t stay buried forever. Especially where Barrett Grant is concerned.

Barrett

I messed up big time with Gabby, the hot, older, owner of Get Baked. I had no business swiping right if I wasn’t going to take our relationship and her feelings seriously. When I reacted badly to a waitress who questioned if she was my mother, I should’ve let it go. 

But I didn’t, and now I can’t. Not when I miss the f*ck out of her, and lost a year off my life the night Get Baked was broken into. This time, I promise myself, I’ll give us the shot we should’ve gotten the first time.

If only she gives me a second chance. 

Tropes Included

·  small town

·  blue collar

·  second chance

·  reverse age gap

·  golden retriever hero

Barrett is book three 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

Barrett & Gabby’s second chance was a great story.

You knew from previous books that there was an attraction and that something had happened… finding out just what was interesting.

I understood Gabby’s concerns. She was older, they had the nonsense from Barrett’s mum previously and ex that she was still concerned would pop back up to ruin her life.

Barrett was great. He couldn’t stop thinking about Gabby and didn’t want to give up on them completely, was more mature than some other guys older than him and was all in for open communication and working to get the second chance at the relationship they both wanted.

I liked that Gabby had put what she wanted to do first, even when it meant that she was on her own and had poured all she had into getting Get Baked off the ground but she deserved to be happy and her younger man was determined to make that happen.

The addition of Valentina to Gabby’s inner circle had me interested in Val’s story and the path her life would take.
As ever, the gang was present and helped out where and when necessary to make sure that Barrett and Gabby had the future they both deserved.

Loving this series and can’t wait for the next book, Vaughn has me intrigued.

From USA Today Bestselling Authors, Chasity Bowlin and Laramie Briscoe, comes the third book in a brand new small town series full of spice, steam, and second chances.

Ashley

Dixie Plaza. The hell hole I grew up in, is my new home, courtesy of my Dad’s petty spite. He sold my grandma’s house out from under me and now all I can afford is this beat up trailer. But Dixie Plaza isn’t all bad.

The hot, single dad neighbor with a slightly shady past and a killer smile? That’s definitely a plus. The way my pulse kicks up when he turns that smile in my direction? That’s a problem.

Ford

How the hell am I supposed to stay away from this woman when my kid adores her and the feeling is obviously mutual? I don’t have time to get involved with the pretty brunette who is not trailer park material. My daughter is my only priority. So what if I see my gorgeous new neighbor in my dreams? I’m a grown man who knows you don’t always get what you want.

But what if it’s not about wanting her. What if it’s about needing her? And that… that scares the hell out of me.

Read an Excerpt:

Pulling into the gas station, I park, and glance inside. Ashley. She’s a complication I hadn’t counted on. A surprise I wasn’t prepared for. She looks fucking miserable standing there behind the register. Like she’s trying to hold back tears that are threatening to escape down that beautiful face of hers. Her fucker of a father should be in jail next to Felicity’s mother, but some people don’t get what’s coming to them the way they should.

Getting out, I walk in, tipping my chin at her as I head over to the cooler. There’s a plethora of energy drinks that all taste horrible and make my heart pound, but I need them to stay awake. Going up to the counter, I slap the can down, and give her a smirk. “Pack of Marlboro Reds too.”

She looks me up and down, her light eyes traveling all over my body. “Both of those things are going to kill you, ya know? Fifteen thirty five.”

“So will old age, but at least I’ll enjoy these.” I quirk my eyebrows at her, as I slide sixteen bucks across the counter. “Unless you wanna give me something else to enjoy.” This is the first time I’ve blatantly flirted with her like this, and I don’t even know what makes me do it right now. Other than the fact I need to feel like something other than a father working his ass off, and she appears to need something other than this damn job.

Her head tilts to the side. Tongue goes out to lick her lips. “You keep playing your cards right, Chevy and I might.”

I snort loudly, laughing at the guts she possesses. “You know my name’s Ford, and if I’m lucky maybe you’ll be screaming it one day soon.” With those words, I turn on my heel and walk toward the door.

“What about your change?”

I turn back to face her. “Keep it safe for me. If I ever need something, I’ll ask for it back.”

She takes the coins out of the register and slides them in her pocket. “All you have to do is ask.”
