The day I lost my best friend was the day I realized that I'd been living in the past. I've tried to find a way to heal, to mend that break. Somehow, I came through it partially whole. But I know I couldn't have done that without Aiden Connolly.

The problem is, he once loved my best friend. And now she's gone, and I refuse to be in that shadow, or worse, a replacement for someone we both loved.

~~

I left them all behind.

My brother.

My family.

My best friend.

And her.

Only Sienna Knight doesn't realize what she means to me. But before I can make sure she knows, I need to figure out exactly what that is.

 

Emotional and full of turmoil! With the third book in Carrie Ann Ryan’s Fractured Connections series, we get Sienna and Aiden’s story. They are both riddled with questions and guilt surrounding Allison’s death, and fighting their attraction to each other with every breath in their body. This story line has a powerful edge, yet the camaraderie of this close group of friends brings a light-hearted aspect to the dialogue as well. The back story is fairly well developed and while the hint of intrigue falls a bit flat, the human emotion is spot on and carries the story well. Really enjoying this entire series!

Sienna Knight is attempting to heal her broken heart over the loss of her best friend, but the emotional turmoil of it all has taken it’s toll. Being around Aiden is bittersweet. She needs him close to make herself feel like she’s coming full-circle in her emotional well-being, but she’s torn because he’s supposed to be forbidden.

Aiden Connolly is finally putting in an effort to heal the rift that has been festering in his family for years, and it’s bittersweet. He’s enjoying time with his brother’s more than he can say, but it’s putting into perspective for him that he has done a lot wrong in life and should have been there more. When an unexpected happening makes him admit how much Sienna means to him, life starts on a whole new type of roller coaster as they finally open their eyes and decide to let themselves live.

From USA Today best-seller Kimberly Kincaid comes an enemies-to-lovers story full of emotion and heat. This full-length romance features a muscle-bound veteran flight medic and a smart, tart female CEO finding happily ever after…the hard way.

He hates the corporate world.

She’s all business.

Now they have to work together
on the one job that could
make or break them both…

Connor became a flight medic
for one reason, and
one reason only.

To help people.

If he can keep his head down
and his past in the past while he’s at it?

Even better.

Until Harlow appears to upend his world
with an offer he can’t refuse.

She’s calculating. Composed.

Scalpel-sharp.

And she’ll stop at nothing to make
her father’s business successful.

Even if that means teaming up with Connor
to turn around a failing clinic.

He shouldn’t like her.

He definitely shouldn’t want her.

But the more they work together
the less he’s able to resist.

But Connor’s secrets run deep.

Will Harlow’s ambition ruin him,
or will she be his salvation?

Who’s ready for Connor and Harlow?!

 

Excerpt:

Connor hadn’t even made it more than a few steps over the threshold of the clinic before he’d run into a crush of people in various states of injury or illness. Most of the waiting room chairs were occupied, and after getting one woman an ice pack she should’ve received when she’d been triaged and sending a badly bleeding teenager directly to the ED to get the gash in his arm tended to by a surgeon, Connor finally moved past the intake desk and headed to the office in the back of the building.

The door was shut, but the blinds on the window beside it weren’t, allowing him to see inside. Harlow sat primly behind the sleek, walnut desk, a pair of red-framed glasses perched on the bridge of her nose as she pored over something on the laptop screen in front of her.

Her chin was tilted slightly downward, her gaze focused and serious, and for one bright, impulsive instant, Connor wondered what she looked like when she laughed. With her hair all mussed from sleep. When she was caught up in a moment of pure, hot pleasure, and Jesus H. Christ on a Pop-Tart, was he insane? Of all the times to think with his dick, now was probably the most inopportune. He needed to be completely on guard around this woman, not get all gee-I-wonder about what she looked like halfway to orgasm.

Damn, he’d bet she was really fucking pretty when she laughed, though.

Clearing his throat, Connor forced his spine to full attention and his cock to stand down, then placed a sharp trio of knocks on the door in front of him. Harlow’s ice-blue eyes widened as she looked up from her desk, but only by a fraction, and by the time she’d waved him over the threshold, any traces of surprise had disappeared as if they’d never existed.

“Mr. Bradshaw,” she said, and oh yeah, no. They had to nip that in the bud right freaking now.

“No mister,” he corrected. Guard up. “It’s not really my thing.”

Harlow nodded. “Lieutenant, then.”

Oh, the shit Declan and the rest of the guys in his unit would give him for that would last days on end. “No lieutenant, either.” Connor shook his head. “Retired military personnel don’t usually go by their rank. It’s kind of considered bad form.”

“I apologize.” Her voice softened by the smallest degree. “I didn’t mean any disrespect.”

“None taken. Connor is fine.”

Just like that, Harlow’s all-business demeanor settled right back into place. “But what will you have the staff call you, then?”

Connor blinked. “Well, my first name has worked up ’til now with everyone in the ICU and ED. I don’t really see a reason to change that,” he said. In fact, he hadn’t even given it a thought.

“You want everyone to call you by your first name,” Harlow said slowly, as if he’d just suggested the earth was flat and they should all go cannonballing over the edge. “The medical staff, the patients. The members of the board?”

He bit back the temptation to tell her he didn’t want to be anything-Bradshaw, especially with the members of the board. He wasn’t some uptight VP who needed to lord his power over other people. “Sure. Why not?”

If the look on Harlow’s face was anything to go by, the answer to Connor’s question was about to arrive adamantly and in list form. “Well, for one, you’re a director now.”

“It’s just a title, like mister or lieutenant,” Connor argued. He knew he should at least try to keep the heat in his veins away from his voice—if he made a big deal about his name, her radar would surely start to ping, full-bore. But come on. Was she seriously trying to tell him how to have his own staff address him? “What people call me isn’t going to affect how I do the job.”

“The title still matters,” she replied. That she’d controlled her words with near-surgical precision didn’t make them any less of an argument. She gestured to the hallway over his shoulder, leading out to the clinic beyond. “All those physician’s assistants and nurses and staff members out there? You’re their boss now.”

Oh, here we fucking go. “So? That doesn’t make me better than they are.”

Harlow surprised him by conceding. Sort of. “No, it doesn’t. But you’re still in a position of power. Business hierarchies exist for a reason, and titles are part of that. How your staff perceives you is going to have a direct impact on your ability to manage them.”

Finally, one (and only one) thing on which they could agree. “I know I’m kind of new to this side of things, but I promise, my ability to manage the staff will be just fine. And since they are mine to manage as the director of ops”—he made sure his tone turned it into enough of a riiiiight? to make it a point and not flat-out provocation before adding—“Connor it is.”

He gestured to the center of the scrubs he purposely hadn’t changed out of, and after a beat, Harlow sat back against her office chair.

“Suit yourself, I suppose. At any rate, I didn’t expect to see you down here so soon.”

“What can I say?” Connor shrugged amiably. “I’m full of surprises.”

That is an understatement.”

My name is Dax Monahan and hockey is my passion. And if you want to succeed in this sport you have to bust your ass 24/7. I’ve never had a hard time focusing on my career, but when my past comes knocking, no amount of training can prepare me for what lies on the other side of the door.

Regan Miles was always like a sister to me. When a shared tragedy brings us face to face after several years, I’m shocked to see just how much she’s changed. Gone is the shy, awkward little girl that always used to chase me and her brother around. Instead, I’m faced with a gorgeous woman who makes it damn hard to concentrate on anything but her.

Turns out, she’s in trouble, and the only way out is to get married.

I surprise myself when I tell her to marry me. Order her, actually. And most shocking of all, she doesn’t even hesitate before saying yes.

So it’s settled. We’re getting hitched and she’s moving to Arizona with me. All platonic, of course.

The catch?
I never knew I’d fall so hard for my best friend’s little sister.

 

The guys that Sawyer Bennett writes just keep getting better and better! We’re all in for this hot hockey stud, and then he turns around and melts our heart time and again … gotta love ’em! Dax isn’t shy about demanding that Regan let him take a huge burden off of her shoulders, and when attraction is quick to flare between them, it’s about to get real! Great characters, lots of sweet and sexy times and just a downright joy of a series to read. I’ve got my heart on my sleeve for Tacker’s story coming up next!!

Arizona Vengeance star Dax Monahan isn’t shy about getting what he wants in life. He has worked hard to achieve the hockey success he has, and he doesn’t hesitate to play hard as well. When he realizes Regan needs help, he’s quick to come up with a plan to get it for her … even if it requires him to hang up his bachelor shoes and marry her!

Regan Miles has had a hard couple of years. She’s trying to keep up with the motions as she copes with the loss of her brother, but it’s just the icing on the cake of a stressful time and Dax’s shoulder turns out to be too good to refuse when she needs an ear. She’s in a pickle and is grateful when he offers to marry her to get her the help she needs … but she’s not expecting it turn into more so hot and so fast!

Excerpt

He’d tried to forget her. After all, Scott was the one who broke it off. Few marriages survived the sort of life he’d chosen, and with his background, he was a particularly bad risk. Just like his father, Scott was the sort of man who focused on a job and forgot to eat and sleep and spend time with his family. Volta deserved so much better than that. Once he realized their relationship was beginning to feel serious, he’d pulled the plug, and he’d never seen Volta again.

Scott’s life had turned out exactly the way he’d planned. He’d been with DEMA for ten years now, one of only a handful of full-time doctors ready to go wherever and whenever he was needed. Most of their medical staff consisted of volunteers who took a week or two off from their regular practices to volunteer with DEMA, but Scott worked year-round delivering babies and performing surgeries. And yet, even after all this time, Volta still appeared in his dreams.

He smiled to himself. She’d never liked the name her electrician dad had given her, but it suited her, with her electric-blue eyes and high-wattage smile. Not to mention the way his skin used to tingle when she touched him. He’d figured he would go to Alaska, get a good start on the assignment and then take a day or two off and find Volta. Once she looked him in the eye and told him she’d moved on and was happy, her memory would quit haunting him. At least, that was the plan.

But instead, she’d just walked into the room while he was in the middle of a delivery. In a tiny clinic in a tiny village in an enormous state. Volta. He followed her into the waiting room, quietly shutting the door behind him. She turned back to look at him, her bright blue eyes focused on his face. So many things he wanted to tell her. So many questions. What was she doing in emergency response instead of physical therapy? Did she ever think about their time together in Hawaii? Was she happy?

In fact, he didn’t ask any questions at all. Instead, he opened his arms. After only the slightest hesitation, she rushed into them. And suddenly it was years ago, he was holding Volta in his arms, and for a moment, all was right with the world.

Excerpt

Maya Burton had always loved being alone in the wilderness. But after three hours of climbing through steep, dense, shadowy forest, it occurred to her that this nighttime hike through mountain lion territory might dim that love, just a bit.

It had felt like a good idea, back in Shelter Creek. The odds of meeting a mountain lion on the trail were low, and facing a lion seemed a lot less scary than facing the memories waiting in her hometown.

But Maya had forgotten that forests in this part of California were full of oak and bay trees that sent their branches arching right over the trail. And mountain lions loved to hang out on branches. Shining her flashlight to make sure she was safe still didn’t ease the prickly feeling on the back of her neck as she passed underneath.

When she finally reached the edge of the forest, stepping out onto the wide-open ridgetop was sheer relief. She loved studying mountain lions, but she was glad to be in a place where they couldn’t drop on her from above. Maya took in the full moon beaming in the sky, tinting the grassy meadows and scrubby slopes with silver. So much moonlight, she could put her flashlight away.

They were out here too though. Mountain lions, pumas, cougars, catamounts, ghost cats, panthers…maybe the big cats had so many names because they were so mysterious. Able to exist alongside people without anyone realizing they were even there.

Except lately the mountain lions in this area had been attacking livestock on local ranches. And people definitely noticed that.

That was why Maya was here, in the coastal hills surrounding her hometown of Shelter Creek, on a two-month assignment for the Department of Wildlife. She was going to try to find pumas. Photograph them. Count and classify them. Assess the population’s overall health and figure out why they were eating so many sheep.

But she’d rather not meet any big cats out here in the dark. “Okay, pumas,” she said to the shadowed spaces just past the moonlight. “If you’re out there, beat it. I’m coming into your territory and you are not allowed to bother me.”

She was being silly. Most big predators would prefer not to run into any humans. Usually people were a meal they didn’t have much appetite for, though once in a while…

Ugh. Don’t think about that.

Piper Mackenzie first sees him shirtless, standing in front of the military plane she was about to board, with one rather large wrench in his hand. The fact that he has the plane—the one that she’s about to be flying on for hours—in pieces only minutes before she’s set to take off on it doesn’t faze her. At least not until a flippant joke about dying in mid-air leaves his lips.

The second time she sees him, he’s helping her from the wreckage of her car. The wreckage that he helped cause.

The third, he’s laying across from her in the same bed, and there’s no denying what happened the night before.

The fourth, well that time would be the first of many. Being Mrs. Jonah Crew has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?

*****

Jonah Crew saw her for the first time as she stared at him in awe. It was snowing, the temp was in the negative degrees, and he couldn’t think about anything but her and the look of horror on her face when he tells a badly-timed joke.

The second time he sees her, his heart skips a beat, but not for the reason that one might think. Mainly, it’s due in part to the fact that his truck smashed into her car so hard that his chest hits the steering wheel and his heart decides to stop working right.

The third time, he’s fairly positive that he’s died and gone to heaven. At least, that’s what waking up next to a beautiful woman like her signifies, right?

The fourth? Well, he’s not quite sure how he got there, but he’s already said ‘I do’ so what’s a guy to do?

 

Addictive from start to finish! With the next book in her KPD Motorcycle Patrol series, Lani Lynn Vale once again wraps an unlikely pair around our hearts. The relationship is fast paced, but they’re not only adorable together, but sexy as all get out. Lots of heat, sass and humor steals the show and the hint of intrigue seals it all up into a great read!

Piper Mackenzie knows she’s not a good flyer, so the fact that she’s going it without meds on her way back home from her military stint in Germany is awfully brave of her. Or stupid, depending on how you look at it. Factoring in the shirtless hunk working on the plane making a poorly timed joke is just icing on the cake to further her freak out.

Texas cop Jonah Crew considers it a big coincidence when he finds out the woman he freaked out, who’s hand is now squeezing his to the point of cutting off feeling, is heading home to Kilgore as well. Fate seems to be shining down on them to keep throwing them together as the days pass and eventually their enjoyment of each other reaches an all time high … a drunken wedding in Vegas high!

Now he’s come to Alaska to find Volta and finally let her go, only to find their attraction is stronger than ever. Can Scott leave her behind one last time…or has he truly found a place to call home?

 

Sweet reunion! With the next book in her beloved Northern Lights series, Beth Carpenter continues to show us the beauty of gorgeous Alaska. Her words bring the location to life time and again through out the series. With the latest book, first loves reunite years later to find their love never died … but their circumstances aren’t any better now than the first time things fell apart. Fast paced, great connection between the characters with the sweet addition of an adorable little girl. Really loved their story!

Once upon a time, Volta Morgan thought she would be living a different life, but things happened and turned her world upside down. Living back in her home state of Alaska for the last decade has rewarded her with a daughter that she adores and a job that’s very satisfying. To say she’s shocked when a blast from the past enters her world is putting it mildly!

Doctor Scott Willingham walked away from Volta more than a decade ago for the sake of his career. He’s been satisfied with that over the years, but there’s never been a time when she’s left his mind, so he decides to take on a job that will take him to Alaska where he plans to look her up and satisfy his need to know that everything turned out okay for her in life. He’s surprised to find that the attraction between them is still flaring strong … and he manages to fit into her ready made family a little too well!

An overnight heiress meets the man of her dreams—

and her newfound family’s worst nightmare.

Discovering she’s a member of Manhattan’s most famous retail dynasty has given Emma Stewart a place to belong. Meeting a seductive stranger makes her rags-to-riches transformation complete. But British-born heir Daniel Stone is secretly carrying out revenge against her new family. Now the clock is ticking down to midnight on their secret affair…

 

Their long lost sister is settling in … and steeling the spotlight! Emma is trying to get to know her new-found sisters Sophie and Mindy, but isn’t exactly sure how to meander the difficulty of not having been a part of them over the years. One seems friendly and helpful, the other seems to ignore her as much as possible. Will she be able to win them over or will the fact that she’s falling for the enemy put her in danger of blowing the sisterhood up before she even feels like a member? Fun series!

Emma Stewart is trying her best to settle into a new life after being made an equal part heiress to the Eden department store fortune along with the two sisters she didn’t know she had. She’s not used to the money, the prestige or the powerful game of cat and mouse that she seems to find herself in the middle of.

British heir Daniel Stone is in New York on his mother’s behalf. She wants to open a new store, and sticking it to her long-time rivals at Eden’s is just icing on the cake. Imagine his surprise when the woman he’s drawn to at a party one night just happens to be the newest sister. It’s convenient to try to get inside information, but he’s too busy falling hard for her to try to play the game.

She can save his ranch…

But can he forgive her?

Maya Burton knows she’s the last person rancher Caleb Dunne wants to see. After all, she survived the crash that killed his sister, and then left town. Now she has to convince the stubborn cowboy that she can help him save his ranch. But once she earns his trust—and his heart—will she be able to walk away?

 

Such an emotional read! They were high school sweethearts with the world at their feet … until tragedy struck and life as they knew it fell apart. Claire McEwen found her footing in the Heartwarming line with no problem at all with this first book in her new Heroes of Shelter Creek series! The characters both have a side of story that you can understand and relate to, but the heartbreak they both are still feeling after all of these years makes it a really emotional story. The author did a fantastic job of telling from each point of view and delivering a heart-wrenching story of finding their way back to each other. Really enjoyed Maya and Caleb and look forward to more in this series!

Department of Wildlife biologist Maya Burton hasn’t been home in more than a dozen years. She left Shelter Creek when her world fell apart and tried not to look back. Now that her grandmother is aging and can’t travel to her, she takes a short term assignment close to home so she can check in on her. Once she hears who else is back in town, she’s sure he’s not going to be receptive to her arrival.

Rancher Caleb Dunne spent more than a decade in the Marine’s after losing his sister and lashing out at Maya for surviving. He’s finally come home, but the ranch as he knew it is no more and he’s struggling every step of the way as he tries to turn things around and make a go of it again. He’s not happy to see Maya back in town and trying to give him feedback on what he’s doing wrong. He has to admit that once he gets past the initial jab of anger, it’s easier to see her … and he even finds himself remembering the good times.

He’s the one man she’s always wanted…

Her sister’s ex!

Gideon Johns inspired singer Jessie Humphrey to write her first hit about unrequited love. So when a star-studded event brings Jessie face-to-face with her former crush, sparks fly. But the handsome-as-ever real estate billionaire is still her sister’s ex. Still off-limits. Still impossible to resist. Is she setting herself up for more heartache, or for her wildest fantasy come true?

 

Forbidden love rekindled! With the next book in the scandalous Secrets of the A-List: Dynasties series, we get to catch up with the key players and continue the big celebration that has forthcoming in the earlier books. The event’s entertainment headliner will reunite with the one that got away at the same time as she’s stepping out on her own career wise. We also get more info into who is setting Teresa up for a fall and whether Liam is going to put his feelings for her first or let the past continue to color his opinion of her.

Pop star Jessie Humphrey isn’t prepared to come face to face with the only man she’s ever loved, but she isn’t left with any other option. She’s at a point in her life when she’s ready to step up and take what she wants … but does that include him even after the humiliation she suffered?

Billionaire Gideon Johns hates that he hurt Jessie all those years ago … he was young and she was his ex’s little sister, so he didn’t handle her feelings well. He panicked and was gruffer than he should have been. He’d like nothing more than to make up with her … especially when he is standing in the same room with her and attraction is flaring.
