You know in movies where the big city girl lands in a small town for the holidays and falls for the hunky guy who saves Christmas?

This isn’t that story.

But this guy does look fantastic in flannel. And out of flannel…

Finding true love with his one-and-only soul mate? Drew Ryan’s given up on that.

But a hot holiday fling in Louisiana, far from his responsibilities and good guy image back home, is now on the top of his list for Santa.

So when he’s knocked on his ass—literally—by a Christmas elf who’s stealing a sleigh full of gifts and using his reindeer to commit the crime, he definitely doesn’t expect to fall head over heels.

This holiday couldn’t get any worse for Rory Robins.

First, her hair wasn’t supposed to turn green. It’s not even Christmas green.

And the elf costume wasn’t supposed to be two sizes too small.

And her con-man father wasn’t supposed to show up and go all real-life-Grinch on her beloved new hometown.

And she definitely wasn’t supposed to run into anyone while trying to fix the problem. Especially not the hunky guy who already seems too good to be true.

But he does have a way of making her "cocoa" even hotter and a whole lot sweeter...

Still, he lives in Iowa. The only good thing her father ever gave her was a healthy distrust of men who are never around. She’s not doing a long-distance thing.

This little fling is only going to last as long as the temporary color of her hair.

Only nothing seems to be fading. And she might be asking Santa for just one more thing…

Delightful down home Christmas goodness with a twist of sass, a dash of yum and a sleigh full of heartwarming fun! If you think the Bayou Boys are fun under normal circumstances just wait until you see them pouting to play Santa as the holiday season rolls into Autre with a bang as Erin Nicholas makes us fall HEAD OVER HOOVES for Hot Cakes alum Drew Ryan. There is heart, humor and a whole lot of wholesome family fun with a steamy twist. Loved it from start to finish! Drew is just as much fun in Autre as he was in Appleby for those readers who are also fans of Nicholas’ Hot Cakes series. The alpaca farmer is just passing through, but one interaction with Rory has him hoping for some kisses under the mistletoe before he hits the road. Rory is a sweetheart. She’s had a hard go of it in life and just as she’s finding her home sweet home in Autre the past comes through ruining all of her fun. I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who loves humor, strong family support and sexy goodness in their romance.

I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.

Knight Before Christmas by Kat Mizera
Series: Romancing The Rink #4
on November 16, 2021
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

Retired hockey star Remington Knight is back on top... and he intends to stay that way.

After having everything, losing it all and then getting it back, his only focus is preparing for the inaugural season of his new professional hockey team. Taking a detour to the quaint little town of Garland Grove, British Columbia where Remy just inherited an ice arena he didn’t even know his father owned, is a distraction he can’t afford right now. The plan is simple... get in, hire a realtor, and get the hell out before Christmas.

Bad luck follows Noelle Burrier around like a lost puppy. She’s barely getting by, living in her car and working a dead-end job at the concession stand of the local hockey rink. When the arena’s hotshot new owner comes in ready to sell, she finds herself on thin ice, desperate to make him see more than dollar signs.

The more time they spend together, the harder it is to keep their distance and deny the fire building between them. With Remy just passing through, and Noelle stuck where she is, will they find the magic of Christmas together or will her knight in shining armor skate off into the sunset, leaving her alone in the cold?

Kat Mizera knocked it out of the park with this one! I couldn’t have loved Remy and Noelle more and cannot wait to see more of them in the new Lauderdale Knights series! In KNIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, Mizera brings us book four in the sweet and sassy Romancing the Rink series revolving around good times at an ice rink in Garland Grove that seems to make magical connections no one was expecting.

Remington is a sweetheart and I enjoyed getting to know him and his plans outside of the career he lost in pro hockey. Only one little detail is derailing him from settling into his upcoming life in Ft. Lauderdale … a quaint ice rink he’s now inherited that no one even knew his father owned.

Noelle is the easiest character in the world to love. She’s temporarily homeless, but her heart still finds every single thing she can do to make someone else’s life more fulfilled and does it instead of worrying about herself.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a small town romance full of heart, humor and happily ever afters.

Wildflower Graves by Rita Herron
Series: Detective Ellie Reeves #2
Published by Bookouture on December 3, 2020
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

The darkness closed around her. She tried to clear her vision, but there was no light, no noise, nothing. Only the emptiness, the echoing sound of being alone. Fear pulsed through her. The man had come out of nowhere. Who was he? Blinking away tears of frustration, in the pitch black she felt the floor and walls surrounding her. Cold. Steel. Bars.

Detective Ellie Reeves is hiking in the Appalachian Mountains when she discovers a body. As dusk falls, a gust of wind blows some petals on to Ellie’s path. Following the trail, she finds a golden-haired young woman dead on a bed of daffodils, with a note: Monday’s child is fair of face.

Thanks to her own past, the childhood she tries her hardest to forget, Ellie knows that the wilderness––and its shadows––is the perfect hunting ground for a criminal. She’s certain that the sinister nursery rhyme, written with an old-fashioned typewriter, means something.

It soon becomes clear when another body is found. Under the light of the moon, Ellie spots wildflower petals floating in a river. On the bank lies Tuesday’s child, another young woman who lost her life, far too soon, at the hands of a monster.

Ellie is up against a serial killer who will claim a victim for every day of the week. In the next twenty-four hours there will be another death, and when her own house is broken into, daffodil petals strewn across the floor, it’s clear the ruthless murderer has Ellie in his sights. Can she save more innocent women from his clutches? Or will he get to her first?

A heart pounding race against time! WILDFLOWER GRAVES is the second book in Rita Herron’s Detective Ellie Reeves series and we quickly reconnect with Ellie shortly after the end of the first book while she’s trying to make sense of the secrets that were uncovered and the blows that the town suffered. I was quickly hooked into this new serial killer mystery as Ellie stumbles across a body placed on wildflowers and the hunt for evil begins all over again. The characters are intriguing, the mystery is intense and the emotional connection between characters is powerful. I enjoyed it from start to finish and look forward to more from Ellie!

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys an addictive serial killer mystery with a strong female heroine who keeps finding herself in the middle of the drama.

The secrets haunting Beau Rochester come alive.

He doesn’t deserve happiness, but he holds it in his hands. A woman he loves. A child. The past threatens to rip them away. He risks losing them forever.

Jane Mendoza is determined to protect the people she loves from every threat--the mysterious arsonist, the corrupt police force. The darkest danger comes from a place she never expects.

She risks more than her newfound family. She risks her life.

Angsty goodness! With the gripping conclusion to her Rochester Trilogy Skye Warren brings us shocking revelations, sweet reconnections and a tantalizing love story all rolled into one gripping conclusion. It’s short and fast paced and honestly I wanted more, but I enjoyed the way things all worked out in the end with a couple of exceptions of wanting more development here and there.

I highly recommend this series to anyone who likes an alpha male, a much younger woman and down and dirty sex while so many sweet moments happen along the way as well. Danger and suspense are a big part of this trilogy.

Best Kept Secret by Skye Warren is now live!

Beating the Wrap by Julie Anne Lindsey
Series: Bonnie & Clyde Mysteries #3
Published by Cozy Queen Publishing LLC on November 15, 2021
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

Bonnie Balfour adores the changing seasons, fabulous fall activities and holiday hoopla, but will a corpse on the porch squash her holiday plans?

Thanksgiving is right around the corner in historic Bliss, Georgia, and Bonnie is trimming display tables at Bless Her Heart, especially for the occasion. A Gift of Gratitude display, beside the front door of her second chance dress shop, encourages shoppers to leave messages of good tidings for neighbors and friends. Unfortunately, someone has left a cornucopia of complaints instead.

And they’re all about Bonnie!

When the scrooge turns out to be a neighbor, fed up with Clyde’s habitual petty theft and trespassing, Bonnie’s claws come out in defense of her kitty. The heated exchange leaves a bad taste in Bonnie’s mouth, but the man turns up dead before she can dish out a proper apology.

Determined to see justice served, Bonnie and Clyde dig into the case with gusto, only to land in hot water with the handsome Sheriff Wright. A series of anonymous attacks soon have the town wondering if Bonnie can find the killer before it’s time to cut the turkey. Or if she’ll be the next one on his carving board.

This cozy and quaint small town is chock full of mystery and mayhem once again when another murderer strikes too close for comfort to Bonnie and her adorable sidekick Clyde. Luck doesn’t seem to be on Bonnie’s side as time and again she’s neck deep into a murder investigation … the only good thing is that it brings the sexy new sheriff knocking more often.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a sassy mystery in a small town setting with lots of laughs and adorableness along the way.

Goodreads

Nick has mastered the kitchen, but not Avery's heart. Can he throw out his preconceptions and find a new recipe to earn her sweet submission?

Sous chef Avery Kzmarscki is the hottest thing in Nick Davis's kitchen, and she's playing hard-to-get. As Executive Chef of Marquis, Nick is confident in his cooking skills and his working relationship with Avery, but when it comes to being a Dom and earning Avery's trust outside of the restaurant, he's got some interesting ideas and a lot to figure out.

While Nick is learning the ropes in a Dominants class, Avery is making some plans of her own. And once Nick discovers that Avery's dream will cost him their sizzling kitchen partnership, will it matter to either of them if he's finally worthy to master her experienced submission in the club?

Unbridled passion is interfering with the workplace! In the second book in Golden Angel’s Masters of Marquis series we are heating things up between chef Nick and sous chef Avery in MASTER CHEF. The characters are fun to get to know and the sexual tension is off the charts. I enjoyed their story.

Nick is fulfilled in his job as executive chef at Marquis, but he’s having trouble keeping his attraction for his sous chef under wraps. When he finds out her sexual preferences, he lets him be talked into taking a beginner dominant class … and finds out he enjoys it more than he expected!

Avery is a sweetheart, but she’s not so sure about mixing business with pleasure … but Nick is too much temptation to resist.

I recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys their romance mixed with some exciting BDSM as various couples settle into life together surrounded by Marquis.

The Silent Dolls Series: Detective Ellie Reeves #1
Published by Bookouture on July 17, 2020
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

Silent tears trickle down her cheeks as she curls inside the tiny cave-like space. She lies on her side, darkness all around her, rubbing her fingers over the little wooden doll he’d carved. He told her to be quiet, not to cry or scream. Not to be a baby. Her throat was raw, her eyes swollen shut. She wanted her mommy and daddy. She wanted to go home.

When Penny Matthews, a seven-year-old girl with blonde curls and a gap-toothed smile, goes missing in the Appalachian mountains, Detective Ellie Reeves is called straight to the scene. All that’s left behind is a pink friendship bracelet etched with “Penny”.

Thanks to her own childhood––which keeps her up at night, tossing and turning––Ellie knows all too well that the endless miles of dark forest and winding rivers are the perfect place for a criminal to hide, and a little girl doesn’t stand a chance. Racing against a brutal winter storm on the horizon, she searches desperately for Penny.

But when she discovers the remains of a small body, hidden by fallen leaves and wildflowers, the breath is knocked out of her. The old bones, and the carved wooden doll they’re buried with, have clearly been there for years. Ellie fears she’s up against a serial killer who has been stalking the mountains for decades, preying on children.

When Ellie spots tiny footprints near the unearthed grave, she’s certain they belong to Penny. As she begins to untangle the truth, she realizes the monster they’re looking for is connected to her own dark past. To save the little girl she needs to confront her own demons. Can she face her greatest fear before the twisted killer claims another helpless victim?

Heart racing suspense filled with small town connections, dangerous liaisons and life changing secrets. I did not want to put it down from start to finish!

Detective Ellie Reeves is an intriguing character who at first simply seems like a small town cop looking to solve a missing girl case but quickly turns into so much more as the depth of her characterization takes a turn when secrets from her past are revealed and the support system she has always relied on around her begins to take on a tainted view.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a serial killer story with a lot of mystery as well as a current storyline playing out at the same time that the hunt for a killer is on. I’m looking forward to more in the series for sure.

Series: Romancing the Rink #3
Published by Cedrona Enterprises on November 9, 2021
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

Jacques:
I'm a single father, and I've had all the change I can handle: Retirement from the sport I love, a crazy ex-wife in prison, and five kids who need me more than ever. I don't have time for a relationship, let alone one with the interfering mother of the best player on the hockey team I'm coaching. She’s annoying as hell, but she’s also equally on my mind.

Serenity:
I'm a hockey mom and proud of it. I'm also the oveprotective mother of a talented daughter hell-bent on playing with the boys. I'm determined that my daughter gets a shot at her dream despite her gender, even if it means butting heads with the team's rigid and hot AF coach. I have no intention in falling for this brooding man with a houseful of children, but sometimes life doesn't stick to the plan.

We wanted to blame it on the eggnog, but there's no denying our chemistry. Can two single parents find love and healing in the magic of a Garland Grove Christmas, or will our complicated lives ruin the best thing that's ever happened to us?

This sexy connection is sure to please! Jami Davenport delivers the story her Seattle Sockeye fans have been looking forward to as the third book in the Romancing the Rink series. BLAME IT ON THE EGGNOG brings love to retired hockey goalie Jock Frontier and it’s delightful. I would have liked the relationship to have been developed more, but I enjoyed seeing them kick off time together.

I recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a small town romance with a strong town connection, a hint of skating magic around an ice rink at Christmas and a happily ever after with lots of sizzle.

I always knew I’d marry my first everything, Declan Yaeger, the Southern boy with Irish roots. That was before he became my first heartbreak, a NHL superstar with a playboy reputation I no longer recognize.

The summer he left our small, Tennessee town, to pursue his hockey dream is the summer my life changed. That was seven years ago, before he became a defenseman for the Boston Hawks. Before I became a hardened, desperate woman, trying to survive.

To protect my grandfather's legacy, I agree to marry my oldest childhood friend, Henry. But when I enter the Church on my wedding day, the grey eyes piercing mine aren’t my fiancé’s.

They’re Declan’s, the last person I expect to show up with an offer of his own. One I can’t refuse even though my heart should know better than to accept.

Will my marriage to Declan heal the broken between us? Or are we destined to repeat the mistakes of our past?

A high intensity, emotional reunion! Gina Azzi is knocking it out of the park time and time again with her Boston Hawks Hockey series and I just can’t get enough. The seventh book in the series THE TRAILBLAZER brings a reunion of first loves when Declan sweeps in to save the day for Vivi and all of those old feelings for his first love come flooding back.

Declan is successful and accomplished in his hockey world and doesn’t even realize he’s missing a defining part of his life until he reconnects with the one that got away.

Genevieve never expects the love of her life to come roaring back in just when she needs him most. She still holds a grudge for the way things ended, but there are aspects that Dec doesn’t even know about.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a close knit hockey team who are there to support each other as each guy finds “the one”.

EXCERPT

“You may kiss the bride,” Father Ward announces after Declan and I exchange the rings that Mrs. Cleary delivered to the church upon hearing the news.

Declan’s hands find my waist and I suck in a breath, already dizzy from the rows of people staring at us, straining to catch a glimpse of our union, one built on past hurts and future hopes.

The corner of Declan’s mouth quirks up. His eyes blaze, not with the confusion of earlier, but with a yearning I feel bone-deep. His lips part, my chin tips upward, and so slowly I can hear the pounding of my heart, we move. We lean toward each other, pulled by an invisible tug that always existed between us.

“Vivi,” he breathes out, his words feathering over my lips. Then, his mouth is on mine, and I’m transported to the past.

I kiss Declan to secure our marriage in front of our town. But his lips won’t caress mine after this. His kiss is too dangerous, too potent. It has the power to make me believe in things I know aren’t true. Like love and futures, like white houses on hills and baby giggles. Like all the plans we once dreamed up, when we were young and in love and so sweetly naïve.

But for right now, this one moment…

I close my eyes, I part my mouth, and I kiss Declan Yaeger the same way I did when I was twelve. With hope and heart and heat.

Shakedown by Lani Lynn Vale
Series: Souls Chapel Revenants MC #8
on November 9, 2021
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

Wanted: someone to hand feed me Doritos so my hands don’t get orange. No weirdos.

Belle Pena was an editor. Not a writer.

When her brothers challenge her to create a dating profile, she makes up the most random biography she can think of. She never, not ever, thought she’d find anybody to respond. But she was sorely mistaken.

Sadly, she finds that she has way more interest than she ever could’ve imagined.

But only one profile catches her eye.

Bruno never meant to take the dating app seriously. Being the last single man in his band of misfits, he’s happy being the odd man out. Women spelled trouble, and he had enough trouble in his life to last him through the next decade.

Only his newfound family doesn’t feel the same. One innocent ‘sure’ has the women of the Souls Chapel Revenants MC creating him a dating profile that is too spot on to be comfortable. And just when he decides to delete the app entirely, a particular face catches his eye.

One innocent question of ‘Belle is that you? Do you remember punching me in the throat in high school?’ has him stepping into trouble neck deep, and he doesn’t even realize it until it’s too late.

Bruno is all we ever wanted and more! With the final book in Lani Lynn Vale’s highly addictive Souls Chapel Revenants MC series SHAKEDOWN brings love to Bruno and rounds out the circle of misfits that became a family throughout the series.

Belle is sweet, snarky and the best friend type you never knew you wanted. She fits right in with that crazy fun family of hers and it was so satisfying to see them all again.

Bruno hasn’t had an easy life, but he knows a good thing when he sees it and is happy to sweet Belle off her feet and become her man.

I highly recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who enjoys a close knit group of unlikely friends who come together and make pure magic in everything they do to make the world a better place. I enjoyed the series a lot.
