High-octane thrills come to the cozy town of Magnolia Grove in the latest must-read book by NYT Best-selling author LP Dover!

Declan Parker thought he left the danger and thrills of being an undercover FBI agent behind when he moved to the small town of Magnolia Grove. Then he meets beautiful and feisty dentist, Ayla Carington, and his heart races in an enticing new way.

Ayla is more than a pretty face. With her quick wit and tenacity, Declan finds himself falling for her fast.

Unfortunately, clouds of darkness creep in when Declan’s past follows him to Magnolia Grove. More than anything he wants to keep Ayla safe from the dangers lurking closer. Thankfully, he doesn’t have to do it alone. The greatest benefit of this small town is that everyone protects each other. And these locals aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty.

Will Ayla be able to see past Declan’s checkered history? Or will the life he had before cost him his chance at true happiness? One way or another, life in Magnolia Grove was about to get a lot more interesting!

FREE THIS WEEK ONLY! ~ Mint Juleps & Moonlight Melodies by N.D. Jackson

July 2024 writinstuff Leave a comment

ABOUT

She was ready to become her own woman…
Passion.
It’s the one thing that’s been missing from Marilyn’s life.
After years of mediocre sex and a distinct lack of orgasms, she gets up in the middle of the deed, ending her relationship with the golden boy everyone thought she would marry.
A year later she’s ready to pursue her dreams.
And her passions.
When her cousin Dixie proposes a summer in New Orleans to work on their goals away from parental expectations, Marilyn eagerly agrees.
He wasn’t ready for the bombshell girl next door…
Zack likes his life just the way it is, especially now that his band books enough gigs to pay the bills.
When he needs an itch scratched there’s no end of willing women,
He hadn’t counted on the sweet southern belle next door,
Or those miles of smooth legs on display in those itty bitty shorts she favored.
When she approached him in that shy way of hers asking for lessons on passion, he thought she was crazy.
Then he thought she was the best damn thing that ever happened to him.
It was supposed to be temporary.
Fun.
Not forever.

Romance Book Review ~ The Problem with Players by Brittainy Cherry

June 2024 writinstuff Leave a comment

ABOUT:

As a female coach, I’ve always lived by a simple mantra: throw hard, swing for the fences, and never, ever look back–especially when it comes to past flames.

So when my ex-boyfriend somehow manages to land the job as my new assistant coach, my life is flipped upside down. The game I thought I’d mastered is now being played with a whole new set of rules.

My ex is baseball’s all-star Nathan Pierce. He’s tall, dark, and undeniably handsome. He’s also all too eager to spend extra hours working together while flashing that familiar devilish smirk of his that still sends my heart racing.

Between playful teasing and lingering stares I discover that Nathan isn’t just here to work. He’s here to rewrite history. Our history.

And when fate throws another curveball involving me needing a place to stay, Nathan offers up his spare bedroom, which sends me spiraling into emotions I believed had long since faded.

Now I’m faced with the ultimate decision: keep it professional and continue fleeing from our past, or confront it head-on by playing the game he thinks we were meant to finish together.

💚🔥🥃Make Me Want To Love You 💚🔥🥃

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

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

April 2024 writinstuff Leave a comment

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

April 2024 writinstuff Leave a comment

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.
