Small Town, Single Dad, Girl Next Door Romance! ~ It Must Be Love by N.D. Jackson

October 2023 writinstuff 1 Comment

It Must Be Love (A Mustang Prairie Romance) – Book 4

🔥💖🔥Welcome to Mustang Prairie🔥💖🔥
Trixie is a Mustang Prairie girl, born and raised. At least until her parents up and moved her to a commune in Oregon and far away from the love of her young life. Jack Thorpe.

But grownup Trixie is back in Mustang Prairie and ready for the next chapter in her life, which includes her lingerie store Under the Skirt and starting her own line of sexy lacy things. When her past collides with her present in the form of a tall, blonde artist, Trixie has to wonder if her girlish crush could be the answer to her grownup dreams?

Jack married his high school sweetheart, only it didn’t turn out so sweet and he never got to tell her it was over. Now he has to smile and pretend while the world goes on and on about how great Marissa was, especially now that he’d brought his girls back to Mustang Prairie for good.

The one bright spot in town was the new and improved girl next door. Little Trixie wasn’t so little and Jack was more than a little interested. Too bad he wasn’t interested in another round of the rollercoaster known as love and commitment.

Too bad he can’t stay away.

Bookbub: https://www.bookbub.com/books/love-lies-and-lattes-by-karen-cimms

Blurb:

One way to make a lasting impression on a guy…make him a killer latte.

That’s exactly what the barista with the espresso-colored eyes did. She made me a latte with almond milk instead of the nut-free vanilla latte I ordered, putting her job—and my life—on the line.

If that wasn’t bad enough, she has no idea who I am. Me. Aiden Winchester. Hollywood heartthrob, son of cinematic royalty, and soon-to-be—hopefully—a Broadway star.

The next time I ran into my would-be assassin—literally—she reamed me out for not watching where I was going.

What did I do? I apologized and invited her to dinner.

Now she thinks I’m a struggling nobody when the only thing I am struggling with is not falling in love with the beautiful barista who served me a deadly drink and proving my feelings for her aren’t just an act.

Love, Lies, and Lattes was originally released as Broadway Beans.

Micah

From the first time I saw Sienna Bardot dancing on my stage, I was mesmerized. But after booking a private room and buying her time, I want more than just one night.

She thinks by telling me that she’s waiting for love and marriage it’ll scare me away, but what she doesn’t understand is that I plan to make her mine in every way.

When her life is threatened, I would do anything to keep her safe—even if that means forcing her to take my last name.

Micah Alexander is a man used to getting what he wants, and I’m a woman used to having my choices taken away.

The sexy club owner thinks he can charm me, but it’s never going to happen. I’m dancing my way to a better life—one that doesn’t include making the same mistakes my mom did.

But when her sins come back to haunt me yet again, I have no choice but to turn to the only man who can save me—and hope letting him in doesn’t put my heart in further danger.

Romance Book Review! ~ Wait For Me by J.H. Croix

September 2023 writinstuff Leave a comment

ABOUT:

He makes an offer I can’t refuse. I never thought I was saving myself for anyone. Until Lucas.

Lucas

My priorities are my daughter and my job as a first responder. Romance isn’t even on the radar. Until one little package changes everything.

In a single mind-blowing hour, I end up with a package meant for Valentina Smith, and I find out she’s innocent. I won’t even mention what’s in that package.

Next thing I know, my other brain gets the best of me. Valentina deserves the best, so that brain says, running my mouth like it has no business.

I don’t expect to fall for her. So hard it brings me to my knees. Did I mention she’s meant to be worshipped?

Wait For Me is perfect for readers who love small town romance, single father romance, smart, sassy & innocent heroines, slow burn, emotional romance with a dash of angst, plenty of swoon, and a deeply protective broody hero.

Book Review!! ~ This Crazy Love by J.H. Croix

September 2023 writinstuff 1 Comment

ABOUT:

Rule #1: Do not fall for your brother’s best friend.
Rule # 2: Absolutely do not fall for your brother’s best friend.
Rule # 3: Don’t break the rules.

Shay

Jackson Stone is hot—like burn-down-buildings kind of hot. He’s also my brother’s best friend, and the memory of one kiss with him years ago still might get to me. Maybe. But, I am not looking for a second chance.

When I return to the small town of Stolen Hearts Valley, my life is a hot mess. I’m a few bucks shy of broke with nowhere else to go. My heart’s battered and bruised, and when it comes to romance, the door is nailed shut.

But Jackson’s the kind of man women ruin panties over. Oh, and he’s my roommate. Talk about too close for comfort.

When I’m at my most vulnerable, he pulls that whole knight-in-shining-armor thing. What can I say? He’s near impossible to resist.

Jackson

Shay Martin is my best friend’s little sister. And she’s so hot she nearly sets me on fire.

She’s a walking complication, and I don’t do complications. But I can’t seem to stay away from her. It doesn’t help that her bedroom is across the hall from mine.

Every look, every kiss, every touch nearly brings me to my knees. I can’t keep my balance, much less think. Before I know it, I’ll do anything for her. Complications be d*mned.

I haven’t seen Soren Mathews since the most embarrassing night of my life. Now ten years older, he’s all grizzly man. With a sexy beard and new scars, he draws me right back under his spell.

For one night, the storm keeps us under one roof. Our bodies beg for each other in a blaze of heat, but in the morning he’s gone.
