Loneliness is overwhelming in its intensity.

There are times you think you can cope, that you can make it despite the hollow feeling in your chest. Then there are the times when you realize you can’t breathe through the pain of loss.

When Gable Buchanan Carter walks into Athena’s life, it’s like a light is switched on inside her chest. Suddenly she can breathe.

But just as much as she wants him, Gable just as much wants nothing to do with her.

It’s like a cold stab of ice right to the gut at the knowledge that the person you want, that you love, wants nothing to do with you.

At least, that’s what she thinks.

In reality, Gable wants Athena Grace Murphy with every piece of his soul.

But how can he confidently say he’s doing the right thing by bringing her into his life when it’s so dangerous? She’s already lost every person she loves, how can he put her through the possibility of losing one more?

That’s right, he can’t.

So he’ll stay away from her. Even if it kills him.

 

This family is my favorite! It’s starting to get bittersweet because this is the next to the last book of the series and I love every single minute of their lives so I’m going to be sad to see them go … but what a ride each and every book has been! Gable is the brother we’ve seen the least of previously because of all of his undercover work, but he isn’t any less intense and commanding. I loved seeing him give Athena the connection that she so desperately needed to feel like she mattered. The characters are attention grabbing, the plot is easy to follow and well developed and the background of his family surrounding them anytime they need it is super heartwarming. I can’t wait for Garrett’s story!

Athena will break your heart a little bit, but seeing her heal and prosper with Gable’s love surrounding her will make it all go away. She’s special and she’s one that everyone will be able to see just a smidge of themselves in.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone that loves a fast paced, addictive book that has a whole lot of heart, so much angst and heart wrenching love galore!

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!

I’ve always been the feisty side-kick who’s up for anything. I don’t need to be the main attraction. I’m fine being the fun girl who always has a hot take on a good time.

For instance, the night I sneak into the Chicago Racketeers New Year’s Eve Party, I find myself trapped in an elevator with a gorgeous grump of a hockey player, before we’re rescued by a sexy fireman who catches Mr. Hockey’s hand in my . . . shapewear.

Talk about hot.

But the temperature only rises from there.

Turns out, the grouchy goalie needs a fake fiancée to earn his inheritance. I’m not real girlfriend material (my ex was clear about that), but I agree to help him out with the temporary farce.

Then I run into my ex-boss—the one I shared a steamy kiss with just before I quit. I’d forgotten how devastatingly dirty and charming the British golden retriever billionaire can be. And that cinnamon roll firefighter? He wants me too.

Did I mention he and my billionaire are also into each other?

Each of them makes me feel desired and adored, but when it’s all four of us together we’re absolutely on fire.

Good thing this is only until the inheritance is finalized and my billionaire goes back to London. This could never last for long without someone getting burned.

You’ve met both our heroine, Elise Starling, and one of the heroes, Racketeers goalie, Blake Wilder, in previous Emma Foxx books, now it’s their turn to heat things up (with two other sexy, charming heroes, of course!) If you like your romance with extra spice and lots of laughs, then Why Choose with Some Like It Hot!

 

Every so often you just need a sassy, humor and steam filled multiple partnered romance book to cleanse your palette and reset your mojo and Emma Foxx ALWAYS delivers! In a rut? Bored with your TBR? Need a little excitement in your bones? Elise and her gaggle of men is sure to please! Humor, warm fuzzies and tingly goodness awaits as Elise meets not one, not two, but three guys who push her buttons and make her want to cuddle up and enjoy them all. The characters each have their own unique background that makes each interesting and easy to like and when they start to get to know each other and click, it’s all the more humorous and fun. Fast paced, believable and heartfelt!

I highly recommend this book as well as the other books that have a foot in the Racketeers hockey franchise to anyone that enjoys poly romance with steam, emotional connections and happily ever afters for all!

Fuck me for choosing the wrong sister.

Atlas Carter was a protector. He was a police officer, had spent years in the Air Force, spent his entire teen years as a volunteer firefighter.

Being a protector was in his blood.

It was his dream.

So when a woman was in a dangerous situation, it was his every instinct to protect her. To shield her. To watch over her.
Only, that woman had played him.

She’d set him up.

She’d made sure that he only saw her.

Then, when the real woman who should hold his heart, the sister, comes into his life, he doesn’t see past the hatred of her to know that she’s only trying to protect him in return.

He spends the next year terrorizing the woman who’s supposed to be his. When the dust finally settles, and he can see clearly once again, she’s no longer there waiting for him.

 

Highly entertaining and addictive! The fifth book in Lani Lynn Vale’s beloved Carter Brothers series centers around Atlas and Pepper and man was it good! I had no idea they would pack so much angst and drama when they got together, but I loved every minute of it. The backstory is developed well that gets her to where she is when they meet and then they begin their relationship along with lots of family strife along the way. The momentum of the book is fast paced and there’s never a dull moment. The ending was emotional and brings out all the feels and more. I loved them so hard and can’t wait for the next brother to tear my heart out!

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone that loves a steamy alpha man who falls desperately hard for his woman and does everything in his power to sweep her off her feet and keep her forever. Great family camaraderie in this series!

I don’t think anyone would’ve chosen to be a single dad before their driver’s license even arrived in the mail, but that was the curveball that life threw at me. While my classmates were partying it up at football games and Prom, I was dealing with ear infections and learning how to be the best kind of dad like my father was to me.

I all but gave up on trusting a woman again and finding love as I had more important
responsibilities: being a proud girl dad to Josie, helping my family out on their ranch, and starting my own construction business.

Then Penelope Pesco shows up and kills my resolve to remain alone. She’s not only the most alluring woman I’ve ever met, but a forbidden one too: She’s my daughter’s new teacher.

She’s also my new neighbor.

Sweet Penny is pure temptation in one gorgeous package with her sunflower blonde hair and beguiling sky-blue eyes, and I’m having a hard time staying away. Keeping myeight-year-old daughter from falling in love with her is hard enough. We both don't need to fall in love with her and end up with our hearts broken.

Then tragedy strikes my family in an entirely shocking way, and reality hits. Life’s too short to keep running and living in fear. This is my chance and I’m grabbing it with both hands.

I can only hope I haven’t screwed everything up. Hopefully, there’s a chance I can fix what
I’ve broken. Josie and I love and adore Penny and can only hope that our unbreakable love isn’t shattered beyond repair.

 

Adorable and easy to love! The third book in Stacey Lynn’s Kelley Family series is revolving around Gaven and his sassy daughter Josie. She is a trip and a half and really brought the humor to life for the reader. I enjoyed seeing him fall hard for teacher Penny no matter how much he fought it along the way. The characters were all easy to like and the plot was fast moving and action packed. I felt like the ending came really abruptly with a lot of things happening that got glossed over and summarized that I really would have enjoyed some more development on. Overall a solid read and I’m looking forward to the next in the series!

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a close-knit family who always has each others backs as each sibling falls for their forever love.

Nico De Kysa.
Cold. Detached. Ruthless.
And my new husband.

I didn’t want to marry the despicable mafia don.
But my father made a deal with the devil and lucky me, I’m the currency.

If I leave…
He’ll destroy my father’s fortune.

But if I stay…
He’ll obliterate my heart.

Because in this union, the lines between love and hate are blurred.
So blurred.

He’s a cold-blooded monster with ice in his veins and frost in his heart.
But in bed, Nico De Kysa burns like wildfire.
And in the heat of the night, I begin to forget why I hate the mobster.

I’m trapped in a world I despise.
With a man too wicked to fall for.
Yet, I can’t leave.

Maybe if I knew what was coming it would be easier to run.

The Devil’s Den is book 1 in the De Kysa Mafia series. A scorching hot enemies-to-lovers romance with tension-filled banter and sizzling chemistry. Expect ‘touch her and die’ vibes, forced proximity, and all the delicious darkness of a mafia romance. For readers 18+. Please read author’s note for trigger warnings.

 

Powerful, intriguing and totally addictive! With the first book in her brand new De Kysa Mafia Romance series Penny Dee takes us on a roller coaster ride of crime, passion and so many twists and turns we never see coming that all tie into an awesome kickoff for the series. I was hooked from start to finish and cannot wait for the next book to come!

Domenico is a powerful mafia don with a score to settle. He’s loyal and heartfelt but beneath the surface he’s still the guy that loved a girl and had it all explode in front of his face.

Bella is naive yet sincere. She believes Nico let her down when in reality she doesn’t know what happened behind the scenes. Watching them reconnect and then begin to unravel the drama is fulfilling.

I highly recommend this book to fans of mafia romance. The family background is fleshed out in a way that adds to the storyline instead of overburdening it. Looking forward to more to come!

What happens when a rock star with no plans of settling down finds out he has a teenage daughter, his manager is embezzling from him, and the woman he’s hired to design his tour wardrobe is breathing fire? Come along for the snarky, emotional, and insanely sexy ride as Jillian and Johnny get caught up in a storm that just might be bigger than both of them.

Jillian Braden’s quick, creative thinking and fierce determination have helped her singlehandedly build a fashion empire. She doesn’t mince words and demands respect, but beneath all that armor, she carries the Braden curse of a soft heart. But that soft heart isn’t looking to start a family and doesn’t know the first thing about mollycoddling. When famed rock star Johnny Bad hires her to design his tour wardrobe and then postpones it at the last minute for the third time, she’s had enough. Jillian is determined to set him straight, but she isn’t at all prepared for what she finds or for the type of help Johnny Bad really needs.

 

Filled with smoking hot chemistry, electrifying characters and more heart than you could have ever imagined! Melissa Foster is pouring on the sass with Jillian Braden’s story and I loved every single minute of watching her bring Johnny Bad to his knees! You are thrust into the heart of the story from the very first page, but you have so much more to look forward to as each chapter brings more warmth and love to the forefront and you become a member of this family page after page. Drama, romance and warmth are all guaranteed. I’m so looking forward to more from the Bad family too!

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a heartwarming family atmosphere wrapped around steamy couplings as each sibling finds their forever love and brings them into the family fold.

 

 

 

Rocked by Love by Melissa Foster is now live!

What happens when a rock star with no plans of settling down finds out he has a teenage daughter, his manager is embezzling from him, and the woman he’s hired to design his tour wardrobe is breathing fire? 

Come along for the snarky, emotional, and insanely sexy ride as Jillian and Johnny get caught up in a storm that just might be bigger than both of them.

Jillian Braden’s quick, creative thinking and fierce determination have helped her singlehandedly build a fashion empire. She doesn’t mince words and demands respect, but beneath all that armor, she carries the Braden curse of a soft heart. But that soft heart isn’t looking to start a family and doesn’t know the first thing about mollycoddling. When famed rock star Johnny Bad hires her to design his tour wardrobe and then postpones it at the last minute for the third time, she’s had enough. Jillian is determined to set him straight, but she isn’t at all prepared for what she finds or for the type of help Johnny Bad really needs.

Vivienne
I did the last thing I ever expected to do. I bought a boat. A beautiful boat that was all mine to spend the summer on.
Only thing I was looking forward to was the calm being on the water brought me.
A place where I wasn’t a hockey dynasty princess or the only single girl of the family.
What I wasn’t looking forward to was the broody man in the boat next to me.

Xavier
I was at the top of my game two years ago.
Then it all came crashing down.
I hung up my skates and vowed to never play again.
I was good at hockey, but hockey was bad for me.
I planned to spend my life on my boat with my dog.
Alone. Happily alone.
Until she came along.

 

This adorably grumpy meet-cute will hook you quickly! With the second book in the Made For series, we are getting the baby of the family Vivienne’s story and it’s filled with so much sass that you won’t know what to do with yourself. The characters are addictive and there is a deeply emotional edge to this story that sets the stage for meaningful conversation and introspect. I loved their story!

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series and the prior ones also centering around this family to anyone that enjoys a hockey series with close knit friends and family gathering together in love and support of life, love and happily ever afters.

When her nose isn’t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she’s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It’s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn’t listen to her…

Trace Caldo’s smart mouth always gets him in trouble. As the youngest of three brothers, he’s used to scrapping to earn respect. But when he picks a fight with the wrong person, Trace ends up kidnapped, bound, and blindfolded with no hope for escape. And when a beautiful woman comes to his rescue and offers him a way to staying alive, Trace can’t refuse her.

Ana Marie Kelly appears to live a charmed life. Raised in a wealthy family, she has everything a woman can want—if you don’t count freedom. Ana’s always been under her father’s thumb, expected to do as she’s told and not bring shame upon the family. But when Ana makes a mistake that could send her life in a tailspin, she can only think of one way out—the handsome man in her father’s garage.

…and their only way out is to say, “I do.”

 

The Caldo’s always make everything better! The eleventh book in the oh so addictive Men of Inked: Heatwave series is bringing us the delectable story of youngest son Trace and showcases the trouble only he can get himself into. I was quickly hooked on the drama, and their love story kept my attention riveted throughout. My only complaint is that there wasn’t more of them for me to love! Loved the attention grabbing angst and heartwarming romance!

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone that loves a full of himself alpha man who crumbles at the sight of the woman who steals his heart. Great characters, an amazing family supporting case and always a heartfelt and sassy happily ever after.

What started as a typical night out with my team, became the best night of my life.

Picking up a smoking hot blonde, I take her back to the hotel, expecting the evening to go down like any other.

But nothing about her is average… she’s sassy, witty and throws me off my game. After one incredible night, I wake up wanting to see her more than I want to go to hockey practice. Then another first happens, she kicks me out – wearing only a sheet and a frown.

The next time I see her, three months later, I knock her on her ass. Literally. Even dripping in tears, she’s still the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met.

Then I find the source of her tears. Her father. My hockey coach.

Turns out, I’ve gone and fallen for my coach’s daughter. Our attraction is undeniable. It’s also unavoidable since she’s now travelling with our team. I have more to lose than a spot on my hockey team if he catches us… like my heart.

Good thing I’m a pro at keeping secrets.

  Another enchanting connection in the Las Vegas Viper world! Stacey Lynn excels at wrapping a hunky, self-assured hockey player around her reader’s heart, but this story also brings forward an intriguing mate who has a heck of a back story that brings on the drama. I loved their connection and watching them wade their way through the down and dirty to be able to be open about their relationship. Strong characters, enough drama to hold my attention throughout and a compelling conclusion. Loved them!

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone that enjoys a close knit hockey franchise that plays hard and falls even hard when “the one” crosses each player’s path.
