Blurb:

My reputation at home is a laugh so I go to the place where I’d always been the happiest : Magnolia Grove with my MeMaw and PawPaw.

Little did I know that news of my brief and failed marriage had made it there. I venture to a nearby town for one night of peace. I thought I was emotionally unavailable until a chance encounter with a handsome stranger gives me a night of freedom and fun. No exchanging of names or personal information, and no intention of ever seeing one another again. No matter how incredible our chemistry may be.

But I do see him again—at my MeMaw’s church.

My stranger is the town’s new preacher.

Romance Book Review! ~ Late Nights & Love Lines (Single Dad Hotline Book 2) by Avery Maxwell

ABOUT:

The job was simple. Answer the phone, solve the single dad’s dilemma, and move on.

I’m the temporary solution.

The fill-in.

The short-term Single Dad Hotline Helper until a more suitable one can be found.

I don’t get attached, I don’t stick around, and I certainly don’t fall for the single dad.

Until the job said, “Hold my beer,” and tipped my world upside down.

Suddenly my past and present are colliding to create a future I didn’t ask for. One I’m not even sure I want. One I know I’m not cut out for. A live-in nanny for my childhood crush?

Yeah, no thanks!

But when Sebastian Walker reenters my life with three children full of sadness that I feel in my soul, how can I turn them away?

He takes my superstitions and runaway tendencies in stride while claiming my days. But before I know it, he’s demanding my nights too.

When it’s his touch that soothes the fears inside me, what’s a girl to do?

Seb & Rowan. What can I say other than I absolutely loved everything about this couple. Their history and the way they crashed back into each other’s lives so many years later. I loved his strength and her vulnerability, and I totally adored Seb’s kids.

This story is like an ensemble drama, filled with great characters with several things going on that have nothing to do with the love story but still enhances all of it. The found family theme that runs throughout this story definitely tugs at the heartstrings and the way these rich, powerful men protect each other and each other’s families is just…beautiful.

Late Nights & Love Lines is a wonderful love story filled with heat and emotions and a big, overwhelming group of people who meddle and hug and suck you right in to their beautiful, chaotic lives.

Forbidden, Age-Gap Romance!

Antoinette

I love what I do.

Teaching people how to play the piano leaves me feeling content.

But that all changed the day he walked in to pick up his son.

Handsome, charming, and alluring. He was all I ever wanted in a man.

Too bad he’s the father of my student.

I know it’s wrong, but I can’t stop thinking about his hands running over my body.

What am I going to do?

Jakob

I didn’t want to be there, but a dad’s job is never done.

I also didn’t expect to find his piano teacher young, hot, and attractive.

She got my blood racing the moment our eyes met.

I’ve been burned before but I am falling for her hard.

Is she the one, or is this just another wasted effort to find love?

One way or another, I’m going to find out.

Release Date: May 9, 2024

Blurb: 

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…

Single Mom. Victim. Small Town Girl.
Those are just a few of the names I’ve been called.
Divorcee
That poor girl
Are just a few others
But when Burke storms into Emerald Creek all blond hair and perfect smile, he sees something else.
Smart.
Beautiful.
Interesting.
When he lays those blue-gray eyes on me, I feel like that woman
And worse?
Despite my past, despite my better judgment
It makes me want to love him.
She has no idea how amazing she is
And that’s its own kind of aphrodisiac
Shayna is superhero and she had no clue of her power
For some reason I want to be the man to show her
Most women are all about what they can get from me but Shayna doesn’t want anything.
Except my body.
She’s making me work for it and I am so willing to put in the work
Because she’s worth it
Because despite everything, I’m starting to fall
Hard.
