A marriage of convenience…

Turns into the love of their lives!

When Regan Channing finds herself in the family way, the last thing she expects is for another man to make her his wife! Especially not former bad boy Connor Neal. But Connor’s changed. Pretty soon Regan’s newborn twins have him wrapped around their fingers. And the electricity sizzling between Connor and Regan could power Haven for days. But can the deputy’s debt of obligation ever become true love?

 

Sweet, sassy and adorable! With the next book in the Match Made in Haven series we get to return to small town Haven, Nevada to watch a couple finagle their way through an arranged marriage with real feelings starting to flare. The characters are easy to like, the babies are adorable and the story line is sweetly fulfilling. I enjoyed them all and look forward to more in the series!

When Regan Channing finds herself pregnant with a man who wants nothing more to do with her or her child, she things it’s going to be a long road of doing it all alone. When she’s offered a saving grace by a sexy deputy, she can’t see any reason not to jump at the chance.

Connor Neal used to have a crush on Regan back in high school, but those days he was the furthest thing a nice girl like her would have looked at. These days he’s living a good life as a deputy in Haven, Nevada and has enough of an incentive to have him asking her to marry him, and helping her bring her sweet twin daughters into the world. The sparks are flying as they settle into life together, but once a secret gets out, will they still want to live happily ever after together?

Finding a family…

…with her ex?

In this Billionaires for Heiresses story, Autumn is stunned when Hunter Lee, her billionaire ex turned best friend, appears on her doorstep—with a son! Their relationship changed because she wanted a family and he didn’t believe he’d make a good father, but they never stopped loving each other. Now he needs her help. Will caring for baby Eli together make them realize how much they both want this little family…forever?

Billionaires for Heiresses duet

Book 1 — Second Chance with Her Billionaire

Book 2 — From Heiress to Mum

 

He’s living the life she wanted … but without her! With the emotional second book in the Billionaires for Heiresses duet, we get Autumn’s story. We met her twin Summer in the first book, and now we’re getting to know Autumn and the love of her life. They split up for a reason, but when part of that reason seems to be blown out of the water, how long will they be able to resist their true feelings for each other? Easy to like characters, an interesting story line and plenty of emotion to keep us enchanted. Really enjoyed it!

Heiress Autumn Bishop is shocked when her former boyfriend/turned best friend shows up at her door with the shocking announcement that he’s a father. They broke up a year ago because she wanted marriage and a family and he didn’t want the same things. Now he’s got a part of her dream … but without her!

Billionaire Hunter Lee never stopped loving Autumn, but due to his family history, he wasn’t comfortable settling in for the long haul with a houseful of kids. One momentary lapse in thinking now has an infant son in his care, and a whole lot of hurt in Autumn’s eyes when she looks at him. He knows it’s selfish to ask for her help, but … she’s his person!

“That night… Why did you leave?”

Her child’s father is back…and wants answers.

Nearly dying in the aftermath of a storm is shock enough for Vivi Donner. Waking to find her sexy one-night stand—and the father of her secret child—standing by her hospital bed? Heart-stopping. Now Camden McNeal is determined to know his daughter and the woman he never forgot. Will their explosive passion last more than one night this time?

 

An exciting reunion kicks off the latest in the Texas Cattleman’s Club: Houston series. My attention was caught from page one and it held my interest throughout. The characters were well-developed and watching their story play out was quite enjoyable. Looking forward to more in the series!

Vivianne Donner awakens in the hospital after a car accident to find the man she never expected to see again at her side. Turns out she forgot she put him down as her emergency contact so he’d be able to take care of the precious cargo she never told him about!

Camden McNeal has no clue why Viv had him on her contact information, but once she wakes up and is forced to tell him about their two year old daughter, it all becomes clear. She might not have planned to ever tell him about his child unless tragedy struck, but now that he knows about her, he’s not going away without a fight!

Sweet Home Louisiana, an all-new sexy, small town, second chance rom com from New York Times bestselling author Erin Nicholas, is available now!

 

SweetHomeLousiana300.jpg

Thanks to a drawn-up-while-drinking-moonshine partnership agreement, Madison Allain has to spend thirty days back on the bayou before she can sell her part of the family business.

And if the heat and humidity and freaking alligators of Louisiana aren’t enough to agitate the cool and in-control California girl, then Owen Landry, the equally hot guy who stole her heart twelve years ago, will sure do the trick.

Owen just has to remember three simple-ish rules: Do not fight with her. Do not fight *over* her. Do *not* kiss her. He can do this. He’s charming and friendly for a living after all. But this is Maddie. The only woman to ever shake up this laid-back bayou boy.

Besides, she’s not staying. No way. These people and this town make her crazy. She doesn’t want to be crazy. She definitely does *not* want to own a swamp boat tour company. She just wants to paint. In her quiet, beautiful, alligators-not-allowed, *air-conditioned* art studio.

As for that hot bayou boy? Well, he’s…amazing. But he belongs here in the South. And she definitely doesn’t. Even if her heart stays behind when she leaves.

Years ago, they were in love. She was an up-and-coming superstar and he was the devilishly handsome security professional hired to keep her safe. They fell hard and fast, no matter how they tried to resist one another. But not everyone around them was happy about their relationship, and a string of lies and deceit destroyed what they once had.

Having just taken the helm of a nationally renowned protective services company, Kynan McGrath is looking to rebrand and revamp his career. The newly crowned Jameson Force Security is moving from the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas to the mountainous steel town of Pittsburgh, and the last thing Kynan has time for is to deal with his past.

More than a decade has passed since their split, but even a bruised and battered heart remembers its first love. So when Joslyn Meyers comes to him for help, Kynan reluctantly agrees to keep her safe from a terrifying stalker who keeps threatening her life.

As the danger they face continues to intensify, Kynan realizes he’ll stop at nothing to protect the woman who turned her back on him all those years ago. Because one thing is certain—no matter how hard he tries to convince himself otherwise, Joslyn still has his heart.

 

Exciting kick-off to a brand new series by Sawyer Bennett! I was quickly drawn in to the drama of both a reunion between these prior loves and the intrigue of what was going to happen with her stalker. The groundwork was laid for some interesting characters coming to work at Jameson Force Security, so I’m really looking forward to more to come in the series!

Kynan McGrath just took over a prestigious security company in Vegas and is working hard to bring some new ideas to life as they move a new division to Pittsburgh. The last thing he has time for is hearing from a blast from the past!

Pop star turned actress Joslyn Meyers was his first love and is the woman he never forgot … mostly because she walked out on him without a word and left him a cold, bitter man! He wants to turn her away so badly … but when he hears she was almost killed by a persistent stalker, he knows he has to step in and help her … but he doesn’t have to like it!

As a young intern at an art gallery in Paris, Isabelle McAvoy meets Putnam Armstrong, wealthy, gentle, older, and secluded from the world. Isabelle’s relationship with Putnam, and her time at his château on the Normandy coast, are the stuff of dreams. But it turns real when she becomes pregnant, for she knows that marriage is out of the question.

When Isabelle returns to New York, she enters a new relationship that she hopes will be more stable and traditional. But she soon realizes she has made a terrible mistake and again finds herself a single mother.

With two young daughters and no husband, Isabelle finally and unexpectedly finds happiness and a love that gives her a third child, a baby as happy as her beloved father. And yet, once again, life brings dramatic changes.

The three girls grow up to be very different women, and Isabelle’s relationship with each of them is unique. While raising her girls alone, Isabelle also begins building a career as a successful art consultant. Then one final turn of fate brings a past secret to light, bonds mother and daughters closer, and turns a challenge into a blessing.

 

An emotionally riveting family saga! The main character has the pleasure of knowing love in many fashions throughout her life, and though sadness and disappointment come knocking on her door on more than one occasion, she has the tenacity to live life to it’s fullest time and time again. The pace of movement in the book didn’t let the reader become too attached to any particular relationship, more so the plot centered on Isabelle and her children rather than the men in her life. I enjoyed it!

American Isabelle McAvoy knows it’s going to be the time of her life when she lands an internship at a Paris art gallery at the tender age of twenty but she didn’t know it was going to wield her one of the most kind and loving relationships she’ll ever enjoy. Wealthy client Putnam Armstrong is the epitome of kindness and grace, but his reclusive lifestyle doesn’t allow him the mental capabilities of handling a true relationship, but she’s happy to accept what little time she can have with him before she returns to the US.

Upon returning home, Isabelle finds herself pregnant, and though her first born daughter is the light of her father’s eyes, he can’t bring himself to offer Isabelle more than his love from afar and all the support she could ever need in raising their daughter. She settles into life as a single mother and over the years allows herself to be swept off her feet by another man who turns out to be a con, but leaves her with her second daughter. Isabelle has no plans of ever falling in love again when the man who turns out to be one of her dearest loves enters her life. Their time together is passionate and sweet, and though a tragic ending unravels, she brings a third daughter into the fold.

Her art consulting business has really taken off and allows her to lead a fulfilling life as her children grow and flourish. When her girls have all flown the coop and settled into their own lives, she finds herself at a loss for what to do with herself. When possible changes make her reflect back upon her life, she decides to allow herself to unravel the secret she’s been carrying with her for all of these years and attempt to put her life on the track she wants it to be. In doing so, she reconnects with her daughters in a way she  never expected and finds inner peace and a satisfying future.
