𝑾𝑹𝑶𝑵𝑮.


Losing weight did one thing for me: improved my health.
On the outside I was smaller and fitter. But I didn’t look like me.
On the inside I was the same ball of insecurities I’d always been.
Oh, and my closest friendships were falling apart.
Thinner? Check.
Alone? Check, check.
And then I met Kane, the knight in soft flannel I didn’t ask for and didn’t want.
But he quickly became the friend I needed.
It was safe and easy. It was perfect.
Except for the chemistry that refused to go away.
We made a deal.
One night. No strings. No promises.
Then back to friends only.
It was a good plan.
Except I’d never been good at keeping my heart out the bedroom.
And the fact that Kane’s particular brand of friendship was absolutely addictive.

If small towns, sassy ladies, gruff guys and happy endings that make you swoon and smile is your jam, Timber Falls is the place for you.

Romance Book New Release!! ~ Technically Yours in Vegas by Sabrina Wagner

Leave a comment
Title: Technically Yours in Vegas
Series: Vegas Love Series
Author: Sabrina Wagner
Genre: Contemporary Millionaire Romance
Release Date: October 8, 2025
Cover Design: Jill White at JillZeeDesign.com


Decoding love one byte at a time…

Tom
Not all superheroes wore capes. Some were overqualified, underpaid personal assistants at a luxury hotel, like me. At night, I spent lonely hours behind a computer screen creating an innovative security system to fight cyber villains. It would revolutionize the casino industry and, hopefully, make me the next Vegas millionaire. Love wasn’t on my color-coded spreadsheet until Aurora LeFleur moved in across the hall.

The tech-savvy blond was smart, gorgeous, and way out of my league. I was afraid she’d never see me as more than a friend, but one kiss rewired my entire system. My data-loving brain knew she was keeping secrets. The lies were piling up and I began to think I didn’t know her at all. When you double down on love, the house always takes its cut, and my heart might just be the payment.

♥♣♦♠

Aurora
I came to Sin City in search of my best friend who’d disappeared without a trace, not to fall for my nerdy neighbor. It was supposed to be a quick, undercover mission and then back to my complicated, messy life. I’d been dodging the future my father planned for me, but the clock was ticking down and time was running out.

Tom Bently’s brilliant mind and kind heart were impossible to resist. His kisses were electric. His touch, addictive. And he had no idea who I really was. I never wanted to deceive Tom but torn between family loyalty and love, keeping him in the dark was necessary. In a city that never sleeps, secrets don’t stay buried forever. With my poker face starting to crack and the stakes climbing, when the truth hits the table, the final hand might cost us everything… including our hearts.






⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ~ “I absolutely loved this book. I loved Tom, he was funny, charming. He was shy with Aurora at the beginning but oh man does that change. Aurora is the perfect fit for Tom. The chemistry they have is everything I would imagine for him. I’m so happy to see Tom finally get HEA.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ~ “Tom can decode me one byte at a time! No more bets because Tom’s story is finally here! And what a story it is!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ~ “Technically Yours in Vegas was such a fun, spicy, and surprisingly sweet read. I mean—who doesn’t love a hot nerd with a dominant side? Tom, the Clark Kent lookalike, totally stole my heart.”






“Is it okay if I kiss you?” It seemed like I’d been waiting forever, and I couldn’t wait any longer.

She nodded slowly as I took her face between my hands and lowered my lips to hers. When they met, it was like the first spark in a storm—sudden, breathless, charged with electricity that made the air around us hum. A live wire buzzing beneath our skin, zapping through nerve endings and lighting up everything in its path.

Her fingers curled into my shirt as though trying to ground herself, but there was no grounding this. I brushed my thumb against her cheek with agonizing slowness and swept my tongue along the seam of her lips. She opened for me, welcomed me in, and when the kiss deepened, it was like lightning struck twice.

A subtle tremble passed between us—a silent gasp and a needy moan—and the kiss pulsed with the raw, electric tension that’d been building for weeks. Every movement, every graze of teeth and tangle of tongues, was a spark leaping between us.

Time stopped, the world blurred, and for that moment, we were pure energy. Breathless and burning in the same current.

I pulled away and pressed a final kiss to the tip of her nose. “Thank you for tonight.”

She stared up at me with those big, beautiful eyes. “Do you want to come in?”

“Not tonight. This has already been more than I hoped for. I don’t want to rush into anything with you. You’re the kind of woman that deserves to be savored, not snacked on.”

Romance Book Review!! ~ Billionaire Bachelor in Vegas: An Opposites Attract Billionaire Romance (Vegas Love Book 2) by Sabrina Wagner

Leave a comment

ABOUT:

Even a billionaire can’t buy love.

Penny
I’d suffered from emophilia my entire life, falling in love so fast it would make your head spin. That’s what happened when I met Brett. Bam! I instantly fell in love. He was every woman’s fantasy and the most eligible bachelor in Las Vegas. The man went through gorgeous women like most people went through tissues.

As an average girl with too many curves, a quirky personality, and a tendency to ramble, my life wasn’t all glitz and glam. I was a personal assistant at a top hotel in Vegas, helped out at my parents’ struggling bookstore, and cared for an ornery cat. What were the chances a guy like him would fall for a girl like me? I’d say a billion to one, but love was worth the risk, so I gambled my heart away.

♥♠♦♣

Brett
Being a billionaire bachelor, I never lacked attention from gorgeous women. I enjoyed their company, but one-night rendezvous were my specialty. No strings. No complications. I was more interested in proving myself capable of running Kingston Enterprises after my father’s death than I was in having a relationship.

But then, in an unexpected encounter, a witty brunette caught my eye. She wasn’t my type at all. In fact, we were total opposites, but there was something about her that intrigued me. Penny had me breaking all my rules. I’d give her anything she asked for, except the one thing she wanted most… my heart.

This book contains mature themes, strong language, and sexual situations. It is intended for adult readers 18+.

Although the Vegas Love series can be read as standalones, it’s suggested to read them in order to give you a deeper perspective of the characters and avoid spoilers.

I’d barely touched her for sixty seconds, yet all the signs were there. “Did you come?”

She bit her lip and nodded, then threw her arm over her face and turned her head to the side. “I’m sorry,” she mumbled into the crook of her arm.

What? “You don’t have to be sorry. You haven’t done anything wrong.” I peeled her arm away, revealing pink cheeks and dilated pupils.

“I have a quick trigger. It’s embarrassing,” she said, not meeting my eyes. “I’m so mortified.”

Mortified? I pried her fingers up one at a time until I could see her big blue eyes. “Don’t ever be embarrassed with me, especially when it comes to sex.”

“But that’s just it, we didn’t even have sex. There’s something wrong with me.”

I chuckled. “There’s not a damn thing wrong with you. There are a lot of women who would gladly switch places with you.”

She rolled her eyes. “That’s because they don’t know it’s a curse. One little explosion and then nothing.”

I raised an eyebrow. “Nothing? Ever?” That couldn’t be true. Surely, some guy had taken their time with her. Had made her pleasure a priority.

Aurora shook her head. “Once I come, that’s it. I’ve heard women talk about multiple orgasms, but I’m convinced it’s a myth. At least for me.”

Getting off the couch, I grabbed her hands and pulled her to her feet. “Challenge accepted. Let’s disprove your hypothesis.”

“What?” she asked, eyes wide and the flush spreading onto her chest.

I brushed a curl of honey-blond hair behind her ear. “I want you to enjoy every minute of the time we’re together, so I’m proposing an alternative hypothesis. I don’t think it’s your body. I think it’s the men you’ve been with. I predict I can make you come several times before I’m ever inside you. It may take lots of experimenting and data analysis, but I’m nothing if not an overachiever.”

“I don’t want to be a science project,” she refuted.

“It’s not a science project. It’s a pleasure project and, trust me, it won’t be a hardship.” I took her hand and led her to her bedroom, pushing the beads aside. “I think we should get started right away.”

“Now?”

“Yes, now. Go sit on the bed.” My instruction left no room for arguing. If Aurora and I were going to be together, I was determined to learn each and every one of her pleasure buttons. Master them.

She scooted into the middle of the bed, looking more innocent and unsure than a few minutes ago. “What do you want me to do?”

“You’re going to count.”

Romance Book Review!! ~ Behaving Badly in Vegas by Sabrina Wagner

Title: Behaving Badly in Vegas
Series: Vegas Love Series #3
Author: Sabrina Wagner
Release: November 14, 2024
Genre/Tropes: Steamy Contemporary Romance; Grumpy Millionaire x Sunshine; Single Dad; Falling for the Nanny
Cover Design Credits: Jill White @ JillZee Design

Blurb:

Behaving Badly in Vegas is a single dad, falling for the nanny romance. It is the 3rd book in the Vegas Love series and can be read as a complete standalone.

Being bad never felt so good…

Hunter

I was born irredeemably bad. Being disowned and fired from the family business proved it. Then a pink bundle showed up on my doorstep and I was begging for my job back. I’d do anything for my daughter, but didn’t know jack about being a single dad, so I did the only sensible thing—hired a drop-dead gorgeous nanny.

Charli Bently was too pretty, too young, too good for a man like me. I should have kept my hands to myself, but wanting too much had always been my downfall. One kiss led to another, then we burned up the sheets. She deserved better than a bastard like me and I refused to be the reason she didn’t chase her dreams. For the first time in my life, I was going to do the right thing…let her go.

♥♠♦♣

Charli

Everyone warned me not to take a job from Hunter Dorsey. They said he was cruel, ruthless, and untrustworthy, but with no job and an abysmal bank account, I needed the money. The live-in nanny position seemed like the perfect fix to solve my financial woes. It was only temporary. How bad could he be?

His daughter was cute as a button, but her dad was a grumpy bosshole. His tyrannical behavior and mood swings gave me whiplash. Hunter was the last man I should have wanted, yet the moment our lips touched he set me on fire. Steamy nights and toe-curling kisses were an amazing benefits package, but hoping he’d see me as more than the hired help was foolish.

Love wasn’t part of our deal.

This book contains mature themes, strong language, and sexual situations. It is intended for adult readers 18+.

Although the Vegas Love series can be read as standalones, it’s suggested to read them in order to give you a deeper perspective of the characters and avoid spoilers.

Series: Men of Haven
Format: Digital eBook / Print

Synopsis:

Live hard, f*ck harder and make their own rules. Those are the cornerstones the six Men of Haven bleed by, taking what they want, always watching each other’s backs and loving the women they claim with unyielding tenderness and fierce.

Security expert Beckett Tate has met his match in colleague Gia Sinclair. He longs to run his hands over each and every one of her lush curves. She’s wicked smart and wicked hot. He’s given her time to get used to the idea of “them,” but her time is up and he’s ready to go all in on claiming what’s his.

Despite her love of all things girlie, Gia’s no typical Southern belle. She’s built her skills and reputation in a field normally dominated by men, and now she has a kick-ass career she loves. She certainly doesn’t need a man to take care of her—especially not one who’s pure alpha. Still, Beckett’s the one man who can satisfy the desires she’s hidden under her tough exterior, and she’s hooked.

Letting Beckett take the lead in the bedroom comes naturally to Gia—not constantly proving herself to him professionally is more of a struggle. And when someone attacks her character and career, Gia and Beckett will have to find a balance: her willingness to let go just a little, with his trust in her abilities and his deep, primal need to protect his woman.

Author: Jiffy Kate
Genre: Contemporary Romance w/ Erotic Elements
Release Date: March 9, 2018
Life hasn’t been kind to Harper Evans.

The small-town gossip about her dead dad and drug-addicted mother has taken its toll. But when her mother is admitted to a long-term rehab facility a few hours away, Harper sees her chance for a fresh start. 

A shoebox apartment above a Chinese restaurant isn’t exactly the escape she dreamed of, but she makes it work. With limited funds and no social life, she views her new city through a dusty old pair of binoculars.

There’s no harm in looking.

Just a peek and I’ll stop.

Harper finds her new pastime quickly turning into a full-fledged obsession. She begins falling for a man she doesn’t know—has never met—as she watches him have sex through the window of his apartment. Daydreaming about what it would be like if she were one of his conquests.

We all reach a point when watching isn’t enough—when we can no longer just be a spectator in our own life. That’s when it’s supposed to get good, right? When we take control and go after what we want. But what happens when it all blows up in our face and we’re left with less than nothing?
