A small-town single mom like me has no business believing in fairy tales.

But the very handsome, charming, dirty-talking prince (yes, seriously) I met nineteen months ago now has his fine ass and panty-melting grin planted on my front porch.

He’s been searching for me ever since I snuck out after our hot, fantasy-filled weekend together.

And, dammit, that’s a little romantic.

Now that he’s found me, he wants to pick up where we left off.
Because he thinks he’s in love with me.

Oh, and because he needs to get out of the marriage his grandfather, the king, has arranged for him.

Right. Even if I hadn’t lied to him about everything but my first name, the carefree, adventurous woman he burned up the sheets with for three days doesn’t exist.

I'm actually a stressed-out mechanic back in my small hometown, raising a sassy fifteen-year-old daughter, and trying to make amends for my mean girl past.

I just don’t think my grease-streaked work boots scream princess material.

Of course, he won’t take no for an answer.

Shocking, I know.

Instead, he proposes a deal: I give him nineteen days to get to know the real me.

Then he’ll either get over me, go home, and marry someone else.

Or I’ll walk down that aisle.

Rags to Royals is a modern royal romance with a feisty single mom, a golden retriever prince who falls first and hard, and lots of delicious dirty talk and spice on the page. It is the third book in the Royals Gone Rogue series, but can be read as a stand-alone.

 

Dirty talking royalty just pushes ALL the right buttons! Fans of Erin Nicholas’s Bayou hunks will feel right at home devouring her Royals Gone Rogue series under her Erin Nicolle pen name and this book will have a few cameos for you to sink your teeth into back in Autra! The premise to the book is simply delightful because this powerful prince fell hook, line and sinker for his weekend fling almost two years ago and has NOT been able to get her off his mind no matter how much of a dead end his search for her seem to hit. There’s angst, there’s humor and there’s so much steamy goodness you just won’t know what to do with yourself. I adored everything about them!

Cian O’Grady is the epitome of what you want in a romance hero. He’s sweet, he’s sincere, he’s sexy as all get out and he absolutely fell in love on the spot and never waivered all those months ago! I loved getting to know him and watch him fall harder for Scarlett with each passing page.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a modern day fairy tale with the prince sweeping the commoner off her feet and storming the castle to defend her honor. I can’t wait for more to come in the series!

It all began with a wrong number.
When Blakely gets added to the Cage family group chat, chaos ensues. What she doesn’t expect is to have a side chat with the eldest brother.
What was supposed to be a simple sign off, turns into a mild flirtation and invitation to lunch.
Only Aston Cage has his secrets.
And perhaps they should’ve left their conversation on read.

Before I Knew is the prequel to the Cage family series. Learn how Blakely and Aston met, before they finally get their happily ever after in The Forever Rule.

 

I’m thoroughly hooked already! This prequel to Carrie Ann Ryan’s much anticipated Cage Family series had me from hello and kept me captivated! As a prequel novella, it’s obviously short but it laid the groundwork of a romantic connection between Aston Cage and Blakely Graves that already has me waiting for their story to continue in their upcoming The Forever Rule book. The fun interaction between siblings also has me excited to get to know them all and see each brother fall hard when he meets “the one”. C’mon January, you can’t get here soon enough for me!

When a deadly accident leaves extreme sport superstar Colton Harrison questioning what his future holds, he decides to take a timeout in his hometown of Oak Creek.

He knows the mountains and wildness of Wyoming will help him heal.

But he has no idea how he’s known sweet Ella O’Conner all his life but is somehow only really seeing her for the first time now.

People in his world may say she doesn't measure up, but this woman—and all her sexy curves—is downright beautiful to Colton.

Ella is who he wants. Who he needs. Who he wants to spend the rest of his life with.

Although convincing her of that will be tricky. All she's ever wanted was a quiet existence, and life in the public eye can be brutal—no matter how much Colton vows to protect her.

Especially when a stalker is willing to do anything to keep Colton for themself.

 

Familiar yet fresh! Janie Crouch is bringing a whole new generation of Oak Creek’s finest to life in her second generation Linear Tactical-Oak Creek series and I’m here for it! Each book has intrigue, danger, heartfelt friend and family interactions and a love story that always takes our breath away. I’ll admit that I would love to see the parents brought into the storyline a smidge more since we all know and love them so well, but I’m enjoying getting to know the kids now that they are all grown up and finding their way in life. Great characters, well developed plotlines and always lots of emotion to sink your teeth into!

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series and prior Oak Creek series to anyone who enjoys romantic suspense with a strong core group of characters that are each other’s friends/family/support system throughout all that life wholes in store.
