Hot cop with a cute baby seeks wife…

Shane

That’s the subject line of the email I send to the Wife for Hire Agency. After all, I’m desperate.

Almost two years have gone by since I broke up with my last girlfriend. Little did I know the final time we were together, a little miracle was created.

In my thirty-five years I’ve never thought about being a father, had relegated myself to not having children, but that all changed when my ex-girlfriend leaves my daughter on my front doorstep.

Before I know it, I’m emailing the agency, getting paired with a woman twelve-years my junior, and trying desperately not to act on the attraction between us. But we’re both wearing rings, and she’s changed her last name.

Will we eventually give in, or will this marriage remain in name only?

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

Book Blurb:

I never thought my fake marriage, would become real…

Jasper Hamilton

I’ve always been a pawn in the game of chess my grandfather prefers to play with me. It started when I was a child who didn’t have anywhere else to go after my parents were killed.

Gone was my home full of love and warmth, and in its place was a mansion with a man as cold as a winter night.

The only thing that kept me sane were my friends. Those blue-collar buddies who didn’t care about my grandpa’s bank account.

I never cared about the money either. Until he threatens to take away the one thing I love in this world. The foundation created in their memory. The only way for me to get it back? Play by his rules, take a wife, and secure an heir.

Something I never planned to do after growing up the way I did. But the way I respond to Daisy Williams, and the satisfaction I get from calling her my wife makes me feel like I’ve been promoted from Pawn to King.

Tropes Included

small town
blue collar
marriage of convenience

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I’ve got to admit that after liking Jasper in earlier books in the series, I wasn’t sure I was gonna be a fan when his book started….
Ok, I kinda got where he was coming from but the gods, communicate son!! Don’t make decisions for her based on your own skewed views.

Daisy, I kinda wanted to shake her for a while. I get that the heart wants what it wants but I’d have made Jasper sweat a bit more and have to put more effort in to getting the help he needed.

There was the whole thing around the reason why he needed to be married and some little of hints and innuendo about what his grandfather had been like to live with and how he had treated Jas but it felt like some things were never really explained or clarified. I’d have liked a bit more background or explanation especially as our MMC was worried he’d end up the same way.

All in all I enjoyed the story. I thought that Daisy & Jasper worked together and, as ever, I loved catching up with the rest of the ‘found family’ and finding out what they were up to.

I’m really looking forward to Barrett’s book. Think that’s gonna be interesting!

Unfortunately, when one of her employees runs into trouble, she inevitably gets sucked in, throwing her carefully paced life off-balance. It doesn’t help a friend, who’s been ghosting her for a year, suddenly makes an appearance.

He was born to pig farming, but for Noah (Hog) Hodgekins fighting fires is his calling. He wasted too many years honoring a legacy he wants no part of. But now that he’s finally free from family obligations, there’s nothing holding him back from pursuing the life he’s been dreaming of. The first step is mending bridges with the one person who is central to that future, but she comes with her own challenges, family and otherwise.

Instead of treading carefully to gain her heart, he ends up throwing caution to the wind when her recent string of bad luck lands the FBI on her doorstep.

Here’s your first look at Jasper!

“I don’t think I can resist tasting those lips again. I’ve tried.”

“I’ve tried, too.” I admit. But I’ve thought about it more than I should. Wondered if there was still the slight taste of mint from his toothpaste.

“So we’re gonna give in together, right?” He licks his lips, as if he’s warming his mouth up for what’s about to happen.

“Yeah, if that’s what you need in order to sleep at night. We can pretend like you’re not the one driving this boat.”

Jasper drops his head low. “Pretty sure you’re right here with me, Daisy Mae. Unless you turn your head at the last minute, you’re about to know what my lips on yours is all about. Ya know, in case you forgot.”

I didn’t forget, will never forget.

Title: One Night Redemption

Series: Bellehaven Hotties #3

Authors: Chasity Bowlin & Laramie Briscoe

Release Date: April 26, 2024

Genre: Small Town Romance, Second Chance Romance

Blurb:

Some relationships are worth a second chance, even when it would be easier to let it go…

Camden

Watching my best friend take a bullet changed me. For the better. I don’t want to be that guy anymore. The one who lives minutes at a time. I realize now what’s important in life…and how badly I messed it up. Because all I want is Cassie. And I’m not running scared anymore. I want it all. And I want it with her.

Cassie

I’d been secretly in love with Cam since we were kids. In high school, he never looked twice at me. Then one day, years later, he did. And that was the most amazing month of my life… until he ghosted me. Now he’s begging for a second chance, a shot to redeem himself. Forgiveness is easy. Forgetting? That’s a hard one. I’m not sure I can trust him, but I can’t just walk away. Even if it hurts in the end.

RELEASE BLITZ – Abel (Broken Falls #2) by Laramie Briscoe

Mar 15

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Title: Abel

Series: Broken Falls, #2

Author: Laramie Briscoe

Genre: Small Town Romance

Release Date: March 15, 2024

What to expect

– he falls first, but she makes the first move

– golden retriever boyfriend energy

– plenty of steam

– small town

– blue collar

– friends to lovers

Blurb

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 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.

Excerpt

I’m slightly nervous as I follow him into his kitchen. I gasp when I get a good look. His kitchen is my dream. Stainless steel appliances, cabinets painted a dark gray that almost pulls blue in the darkness coming through the back windows. White marble countertops are spotless and inviting. Contemporary lighting provides enough where it’s needed, and softens where it isn’t. “You have a pot filler,” I gasp with jealousy.

He laughs. “I do. When Dad and I were designing this place, he said I’d appreciate it if I were ever going to make dinner often. Since I do, I use it all the time.”

“You make dinner a lot?” I’m learning so much about him tonight.

“When I decided to buy this place and gut it, I didn’t have a ton of money. Still repaying college loans too,” he shrugs. “So while I do go out with my friends to the bar, I don’t spend a ton as I’m paying down stuff. Dad helped me more than he should’ve, but he wasn’t able to take care of everything. The amount of free labor and construction work he gave me for this place was well into the hundreds of thousands. My friends helped too, which is why they hang out here all the time when we aren’t working or at Monroe’s.”

The scent of whatever we’re going to eat permeates the room. “What else are you going to surprise me with tonight?” I tilt my head to the side.

“Hopefully everything you never imagined I would be.”

Our eyes meet, and I get lost in the green depths of his. I’ve seen them in many different situations and they tend to change colors depending on what’s happening. It runs the gamut from very light to dark, like the luscious floor of the rainforest. “I don’t really know you at all do I?” My voice is quiet as I observe him. “Does anyone really know you?”

He scratches the back of his neck, ducking his head down. “There are very few people who do, and I prefer it that way.”

“Why? You always seem so open with everyone.” I’m beginning to realize many of us have secrets.

“It’s complicated.”

I walk over to him, and grab his hand in mine. “We’re all complicated, but can I put it out there I would love to get to know your complications.” I’m never this forward, but there’s something about him standing in this amazing kitchen, telling me little snippets that make him the person he is. I’m taking them all and putting them in my pocket – pieces to the puzzle that make up this man.

He runs a palm over his stubble. “You’re probably just about the only person I’d let do that.”

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I LOVED Abel & Kara…. The Broken Falls series is fast becoming one of my favourites from Laramie!

Admittedly, there were a couple of times I wanted to give Abel a damned shake…. His self doubt and need to think about things to the nth degree before taking a chance and starting something with Kara did drive me a tad crazy! As a kid growing up with pretty much kids for parents mustn’t have been easy and I got that he worried about making mistakes and doing the wrong thing BUT his dad was a good example of growing up and changing for the better – Boone in all honesty did an awesome job with Abel who turned out to be a really great young man, ensuring that Abel had a great role model and a helluva supporter in his corner.

I really liked Kara. She was determined to bring her dream to life – even without the support that should have come automatically from her folks. She worked hard, believed in herself and was starting to see success.
I think what I liked most about her was HER belief in Abel.
She cared about him, could see the kind of person he was and knew that they were perfect for each other (spoiler… she was right!!)

I would have liked to see the interaction and kiss that kick-started their potential relationship but it didn’t kill the read for me that the story started a little later…. or that Abel took so long to get his head on straight and ask the gal in a date!!

Once Abel and Kara got together their relationship flourished.
It was great seeing them grow, leaning on each other when things got tough and bringing out the best in the other – they were friends and confidantes as well as lovers.. Abel was one of Kara’s biggest supporters when it came to her working towards her dream and she was there for Abel when things with family were difficult.

As ever, I love catching up with other characters from previous books and it was fab seeing how Boone & Alexis were doing.

I cannot wait to read Jasper’s book – that little tease we got in Abel has me intrigued!!!!

RELEASE BLITZ – Rock Point Collection by Freya Barker

Mar 4

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Title: Rock Point Collection

Author: Freya Barker

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: March 3, 2024

Buy Link:

Amazon: https://amzn.to/3Sq4Acu

Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/204872286-rock-point-collection

Bookbub: https://www.bookbub.com/books/rock-point-collection-by-freya-barker

Blurb:

The Rock Point series chronicles the stories of each of the agents of the La Plata County FBI office. These books will take you on a wild ride of romance, danger, passion, and betrayal. Durango, Colorado has never been more adventurous and exciting.

***

Keeping 6

When Special Agent Damian Gomez walks into the small Books and Brew store looking for coffee, he doesn’t expect to find Kerry Emerson manning the espresso machine. She seems equally surprised but that quickly turns to anger when the annoyingly handsome FBI agent seems to have her confused for a criminal.

***

Cabin 12

EMT Bella Greene thinks Special Agent Jasper Greene is a narcissistic hotshot, and he, in turn, believes her to be a high maintenance snob. But the moment the first cop is gunned down, they’re forced to work side by side and amid corruption and murder, they quickly discover how misleading first impressions can be.

***

HWY 550

Investigating a string of robberies places Special Agent Luna Roosberg undercover and on the back of Arrow’s Edge MC President Ouray’s bike. He does not have much choice because with pressure both in- and outside the club mounting, he no longer knows who to trust. Except perhaps the pretty agent who is shaking up his life—and stirring his blood.

***

10-CODE

Single mom, Marya Berger does not want to be attracted to Special Agent Dylan Barnes. Not only is he several years her junior, but he is also the father of one of the boys on her son’s soccer team. But when the disappearance of a child hits a little too close to home, she finds herself responding to the agent’s need to protect her and her boys.

***

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I read these books prior to the Collection being put together. ~ T xx

Keeping 6

It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of Freya Barker‘s and have been since her very first book…. Her writing, characters, storylines, attention to detail and descriptions of the story locations all combine to give excellent reads with relatable leads.

Keeping 6 is the first book in the new Rock Point series (which I’ve been looking forward to since Ms B mentioned it!!) and for me was a thoroughly enjoyable read.

I love that the MCs are that little bit older, that they are flawed and, in the leading man’s case, possessive and protective from the get go. We had met Damian in previous books in another series and, while I wasn’t sure I was gonna be a fan of him from what we’d seen before, he definitely won me over in his own story!
I enjoy the strength, character, snark and sass of Freya’s ladies but for some reason it took me just a little to warm to Kerry – admittedly it wasn’t for long and I did get there (I still can’t quite put my finger on why it happened this time around), but it was an unusual feeling to say the least!!

Loads of action, heat, attraction, great supporting characters who I hope we meet again in the future, Keeping 6 was a great start to this new series and I’m looking forward to more from Ms B!!

If you haven’t already experienced the joy of reading a book by Freya, this is a good place to start though I’d recommend that you go back to the start and begin with the Cedar Tree series to fully appreciate the characters we meet and the setting of the story in Keeping 6.

A rock solid 4.5* read for me!

Cabin 12

!!! FLOVED IT !!!

The above was what I thought once I’d finished Cabin 12 and I’ve finally got round to writing my full review….. Real life has inconveniently interrupted my reading and blogging lately…… and talking of real life, I’m pretty sure I’ve said it before but it’s worth repeating… one of my favourite things about Freya Barker’s books is the realness of her characters and how I can get their life struggles, worries and issues!

I really loved Bella and Jasper together (ah, Jasper, le sigh, reminds me of another book ‘hero’ I absolutely adore….. Ms Barker did well with this character name!). They were in equal parts frustrating, funny, adorable and fabulous.

The intertwined story lines don’t start out real obvious and you have to think about where things are maybe going – which I love, as I don’t necessarily like or need an author to hand hold me through every event in their story!! The heat, affection, love and camaraderie/sense of family are excellent and the intimate scenes are scorching hot!

I’m excited about what’s coming next in this series… a few possibilities that I think I saw while reading …. but I’m gonna keep my thoughts and patiently wait and see if I got it right or not!

A definite must read, the Rock Point series is fast moving up my table of ‘favourite Freya reads’

HWY 550

I finished this book with the biggest smile on my face!!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Freya Barker keeps raising the bar when it comes to her books….

I’ll be the first to admit that I found it hard to connect or understand Luna Roosberg when we’ve previously met her in the series. I could never quite put my finger on why I couldn’t get a handle on her but Ms B worked her magic as usual and pretty much from the outset of HWY 550 and Luna’s character totally won me round.
She’s tough and brusque on the outside but we soon discover that this hardshell covers a very different woman!

Ouray….man, what can I say about this guy!! He’s kinda brusque and tough himself but that’s a given seeing as he’s the president of an MC club, but he’s another one who has a completely different hidden centre, it’s just taken one particular woman to bring it to the fore (not that he lets everyone see the sweet, protective side of him that Luna releases – he has an image to protect after all!)

With a couple of interesting and complex storylines running through the story, there was plenty of action and characters, new and old, that all added to the fun and made for a fabulous read. Hot, steamy and a touch of sweet with a load of heart, Freya let us catch up with favourites from previous stories and teasingly introduces us to a possible couple for a future book in the series….. YAY!!

As well written as you would most definitely expect from FB, this was another excellent instalment in the La Plana County FBI ROCK POINT series and I cannot wait to see what happens next!

10-CODE

Freya Barker is one of my favourite authors and in my opinion has only gotten better with each book that she’s written.

The fourth book in the Rock Point series is Dylan and Marya’s story and with a hard hitting and sadly, very realistic story arc, this was a great read and another hit in Ms B’s catalogue.

I love that her characters are older, with life experience, emotional baggage, health and emotional issues that can be related to most of the time.
Marya and Dylan were perfect for each other and their kids were a great addition to the story – and the easy acceptance of each of their families made for good reading.

10-Code was a sad reminder of just how awful people can be and how you can never judge a book by it’s cover – in more ways than one.
It was also a reminder of how the capacity to give and accept love can change and enhance your life in many ways.

Action, suspense, tons of heat and some seriously hot down and dirty times, along with catching up with some of our fave characters from previous books made this another smasher of a story and one I’d most definitely recommend.
