Wrenley

When my grandmother asked me to run her bed-and-breakfast while she took a three-month vacation, I should’ve said no.

Now I’m stuck in this godforsaken town hours away from the pampered life I live in New York City.

Gone are my days filled with luxury and glamour. I’ve been reduced to being domesticated.

What can possibly go wrong?

Decker Black, that’s what.

He walks into my life—more like breaks in, but whatever—and immediately irritates the hell out of me.

I can’t stand him. He’s moody, grumpy, and surly all rolled into one annoyed glare.

Until one severe storm changes everything.

I never could’ve imagined a slower, simpler life was everything I was missing.

Unfortunately, my home is in New York and my heart is stuck in Alabama.

Decker

My life is quiet and calm. Just how I like it.

Until Wrenley comes barreling in out of nowhere and disrupts everything.

Gone are my days of balance and routine. She brings turbulence and chaos.

She’s quick-tempered with a bold mouth full of sharp jabs and is entirely ungrateful.

She’s a headache, and I’m ready for her to go back to where she came from.

So why can’t I stay away from her?

The more time we spend alone, the more I realize underneath all the anger is something beautiful. 

And I like it. I like her.

I never thought love and happiness was missing in my life.

Unfortunately, my small town no longer has everything I need.

It doesn’t have her.

Romance Book Review! ~ Sex and Other Shiny Objects by Lauren Blakely

About this book:

I’ve been curious about a few things I’ve read in romance novels. Do buttons truly go flying across the floor when you rip off a guy’s shirt? Is staircase sex hella hot or does it leave you with a big old bruise mark on your back? And don’t even get me started on all that panty shredding.

My best guy friend volunteers to test the scene. We have a plan to keep it PG and but once the buttons start flying, all bets are off…

ROMANCE BOOK REVIEW!! ~ Until It Was Love by Pippa Grant

ABOUT:

There are a million reasons why I shouldn’t date Fletcher Huxley.

He’s a growly-faced, stubborn-streaked, international rugby legend trying to revive his flailing career in the US after being canned by his team overseas.

While he might have the good kind of thunder thighs, intriguing tattoos, and a booty of steel, he also holds the top position on my very short nemesis list thanks to what happened the first time we met.

Plus, his mustache is as terrible as the reason he’s picked me to be the woman he wants to date.

But he has one big checkmark in the why this date is a good idea column: he’s my brother’s new teammate.

They already hate each other.

And my brother has made an unfortunate habit of interfering with my love life recently.

So a revenge date with Fletcher to make my brother mad? While letting Fletcher think this date is merely for the good of the team?

Yep.

I’m in.

I’m moving to London for work in a month. And it’s just one date. What could possibly go wrong?

Until It Was Love is a banter-tastic romcom featuring an overgrown snack of a man with a soft spot for his purse dog, a normally optimistic life coach trying to live her best life, a mustache catastrophe, and one little tiny fainting spell. It stands alone and comes complete with a swoony happily ever after that will leave your heart in a happy puddle of joy.

NEW RELEASE!!! ~ Rugged Southern Charmer by Fabiola Francisco

Title: Rugged Southern Charmer
Series: Magnolia Grove
Author: Fabiola Francisco
Genre/Tropes: Childhood friends to lovers, small town romance
Release Date: April 25, 2024
Cover Design: Sarah PaigeGoodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/201814207-rugged-southern-charmer

Blurb: 

I never imagined I’d be back in my hometown, unemployed, and feeling like a failure. Getting involved with someone at work is a huge mistake, especially when he’s a famous football player, and I’m just a therapist they can easily replace. 

The silver lining is reconnecting with my best friend…even if he is hot now. I can ignore that detail, right? I hope so because Dean’s helping me fix my grandma’s old cabin so I have a place to stay, and between seeing him shirtless and working with his hands, I might just give in to temptation. 

Crossing that line should be awkward, but when he kisses me on a dare, I feel like he’s sparked life into me. 

My time in Magnolia Grove is temporary while I figure out my next steps, and falling for Dean is not a part of my plans. 

But sometimes challenges lead us back to where we’re meant to be.

ROMANCE RELEASE BLITZ!! ~ Taming Her Heart by Bree Westland

When a ghost from the past shocks the clan, Leslie Beckett, guardian of the long-awaited prophecy, is left with no choice but to plot a way forward. Tyler Jackson becomes a welcome distraction, igniting feelings Leslie is unprepared for. Meanwhile, the rogue fae are quietly claiming the minds of loved ones in their own quest for the elusive prophecy. Readers who enjoy brother’s best friend and tortured heroes who fall first tropes will devour Taming Her Heart by Bree Westland, a steamy fated mates romance.

Blurb

Earning her place among them was the easy part.

Leslie Beckett had been the glue holding her family together since her mother disappeared not long after her birth. As a witch, a dragon shifter, and the only daughter in a household of male dragon shifters, she’d had to train harder. Be the best. She’d always crave the hunt. Yet the innate tug of magic made her feel most alive.

Tyler Jackson followed his sister to Rayner, leaving his career as a police officer on Earth behind. Ditching his ties to his undercover ops position proved more difficult though. So he put those skills to work when granted a spot on the alpha’s elite team. He was nothing if not ruthlessly efficient in his role.

When a ghost from the past shocks the clan, nothing is as it seems. As the guardian of the long awaited prophesy, Leslie plots a way forward. Tyler is a welcome distraction, igniting feelings Leslie is unprepared for. And he can’t get the wickedly talented, pretty princess out of his head.

Meanwhile, the rogue fae quietly claim the minds of loved ones in their own quest for the elusive prophesy. Can Leslie and Tyler’s growing bond prove stronger than the forces of fate uniting against them?

*Readers can expect healthy doses of hot shifters, naughty language, and intimate time with a fated mate, all wrapped up in a happily ever after. Can be read as a standalone romance but best enjoyed in the order written.

Romance Book Review!!! ~ Summer Camp Secret by Kait Nolan

About:

Pretending to be the fiancée of some random guy in a bar isn’t the kind of thing Aspen Fairchild would normally do. Ever. But when a medical scare sends her reeling onto a path of “live life to its fullest,” and she sees an opportunity to do a good deed, she figures she can use all the good karma she can get.

Pro hockey player Brooks Hennessey was just taking time off, working through his grief, trying to do a good deed. But now his fake engagement has gone viral, and his publicist wants to know what he’s going to do about it.

He knows what he’d like to do: spend his week at grown-up summer camp with the woman he can’t stop thinking about.

She knows what she’d like to do: spend her week at Camp Firefly Falls with the guy who unexpectedly rocked her world.

But the girl of his dreams is hiding something, keeping him at arm’s length. Because the guy who makes her heart beat is oh-so-vulnerable to the last thing she’d want to burden him with. Will she give them a chance, or will she run away before he can learn her summer camp secret?

Get Summer Camp Secret TODAY!!!!!

Aspen and Brooks were such a fun couple with a super adorable meet-cute and the story hooked me right from the beginning!

She has no idea that he’s a hockey superstar which, of course, he loves. In addition to that, there’s her southern accent and her sass that lures him in. They have one of those magical days together sightseeing and eating all the eats before…well you know!

Some other stuff happens and then BAM we’re at grown up summer camp! I mean, that’s reason enough to love this story but then the hottest one night stand of your life is there too? Sign. Me. Up.

I loved Aspen and Brooks together. They had great chemistry as well as an easy way about them that totally sold the connection. Summer Camp Secret was sweet and hot and romantic and at times, brought a few tears to my eyes.

I am a loyal Kait Nolan reader but this one was just really, really good.
