Cover Reveal…Ruining Hattie by P. Rayne

by Courtney

P. Rayne has revealed the cover for Ruining Hattie!

Releasing: July 17, 2025

Cover Designer and Photographer: Regina Wamba

A man with no limits is the most dangerous kind of threat.

When Trent Clarke caught me picking pockets at eleven, he didn’t turn me in. Instead, he took me under his wing and taught me that in this world, you take what you want and never look back.

He might have shaped me, but I built my empire of the most successful string of strip clubs on the West Coast.

Now that I have everything, it’s time to track down my deadbeat mother and remind her who she left behind. That is if the drugs didn’t kill her already.

But I don’t find the worn-down shell of the woman I remember. Instead, she has all the things she never managed to give me—the white picket fence, a family dog, even church on Sunday mornings.

The real kicker? She replaced me and raised the perfect daughter with all the care and love she never gave me.

A twisted need for revenge roars to life inside me, and I aim it at my mother’s precious stepdaughter—sweet, sheltered Hattie Sinclair.

At first, it’s purely about vengeance, pulling Hattie into the darkness to watch her innocence unravel piece by piece. But she becomes something more. Something dangerous. Something I can’t resist.

Until she becomes my obsession.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Play It Off by Monica Murphy

by Courtney

Play It Off by Monica Murphy is now live!

From bestselling author Monica Murphy comes a sweet, sexy story about the secret crush between a college QB and his teammate’s sister, and the obvious chemistry that keeps them in the huddle.

Sienna

I’ve had a thing for Gavin Maddox ever since I was a freshman, but it’s a mission doomed to fail. Of all the guys I could have picked on campus, I had to go too far with the quarterback, my brother’s best friend.

We’ve spent the last two years avoiding each other. It’s not that easy when you have the same friends, not to mention I can’t forget the way it felt to be with him. But I can be civil. Polite. Detached.

I think…

Gavin

Sienna Cooper is off limits–except for that one time. I can’t forget it, but I need to forget her if I want to keep my head in the game. This is my senior year and, more importantly, my last season of college football. I can’t let anything distract me.

I’ve respected Sienna’s boundaries for this long. I can do it for another year.

…Can’t I?

Brother’s Best friend – I am in!!!

Play It Off is a very fast, paced college romance. Gavin and Sienna’s story starts off very interesting and it sets the stage for what happens throughout the book.

I won’t get too detailed with what all happens with this book. I will say that the storyline is interesting and it had me turning the pages.

My only gripe was I wanted a bit more depth to show the full chemistry between Gavin and Sienna. I felt it was more surface level for them, even though it was hot.

All the characters in this book are very colorful, for lack of better word. They stood out alot in this book but it’s needed to see how everyone is intertwined.

I am excited for the next book in this series.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Destructively Mine by Krista & Becca Ritchie

by Courtney

Destructively Mine by Krista & Becca Ritchie is now live!

FROM THE AUTHORS OF THE TIKTOK SENSATION, ADDICTED TO YOU!

Ex-grifter Phoebe Graves’ new life threatens to come crashing down around her in the next unputdownable novel from the New York Times bestselling authors of the Addicted series.

As the daughter of a con artist, Phoebe Graves only knew a life of swindling the rich until her best friend and fellow grifter, Hailey Tinrock, proposed an idea to start a new, honest life in a wealthy college town of Connecticut. Once there, they decided to leave behind their deceitful tricks and be truthful for once. But you know what they say about best intentions. . . .

While Phoebe is fake-dating Jake Waterford, the third-born son to an uber-wealthy and influential family, she’s actually dating and falling deeper in love with Brayden “Rocky” Tinrock—Hailey’s older brother. To make matters more complicated, Phoebe’s mother shows up out of the blue with conniving match-making designs of her own.

Her mother’s arrival threatens to unravel Phoebe’s plans. To keep her love, her friends, and her newfound happiness, Phoebe will have to return to her old games . . . and win.

3.75 Stars

Destructively Mine picked up where Dishonestly Yours ended but this book is definitely more spicy.

We get some answers from the cliffhanger in book one but Krista and Becca continue to weave the overall plot throughout the book.

We get more of Phoebe and Rocky along with bits and pieces from their past. I love that we get to see things from both their POVs.

The story moves along nicely, but a bit slow for me. I felt there was some unnecessary filler that didn’t really add to the plot development or even character development. It didn’t necessarily hurt the story, but I definitely glazed over parts.

Overall, I enjoyed this one and it has me excited to see what book three brings us.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Mr. Charming by Piper Rayne

by Courtney

Mr. Charming by Piper Rayne is now live!

Three years ago, I swore to myself we were done.

Since then, Tweetie Sorenson has embraced the professional hockey player bachelor lifestyle—his social media is a highlight reel of clubs, friends, and a never-ending stream of different women.

It’s hard to believe he’s the same man who stole my heart the very night we met. With him, everything felt wild, spontaneous, and absolutely perfect. I thought he was my forever.

Then, he broke my heart. Or maybe we broke each other’s. Either way, it was over.

I’ve moved on—new city, dream job—until my boss throws me back into Tweetie’s world. I’m sent to Chicago to manage the Falcons’ social media, which means working alongside the one man I never truly let go of. FML.

https://books2read.com/MR-C

Audio Full Cast Narration by: Troy Duran, Christine Lakin, Sean Masters, Connor Crais, JF Harding, Teddy Hamilton, and CJ Bloom

Goodreads: https://bit.ly/3XjDmq8

Mr. Charming is the fourth book in this series and can be read as a complete standalone. I have not read any of the previous books in this series (but definitely want to now) and had zero issues with reading this story or needing any sort of previous knowledge to appreciate Tedi and Tweetie.

I really enjoyed the dynamics between Tedi and Tweetie. You could immediately feel the pull between them and the difficulty in staying away from one another (for reasons we learned as the book progressed).

I will be honest, Tweetie won me over. He may have his demons, but his love for Tedi was remarkable. Tedi – I understand her reasonings, but didn’t agree with her alot on things. And that’s ok – not every character an author writes is one that I will like, but I still enjoyed their story. My one gripe with this one – the length. I don’t think it needed to be as long as it was – some scenes dragged (for me) and others just felt unnecessary to the plot.

Overall, I really like this second-chance story. I definitely am curious about the secondary characters and their stories, so I will be going back and reading those books now.

Cover Reveal…Love Arranged by Lauren Asher

by Courtney

Lauren Asher has revealed the gorgeous cover for Love Arranged!

Releasing: August 19, 2025

Cover Design: Mary, Books & Moods

The final book in the Lakefront Billionaires series by New York Times bestselling author Lauren Asher.

LORENZO

Five months. Two people “in love”. One fake relationship with an expiration date.

Sounds simple enough.

The problem is, Lily Muñoz and I have history.

So, when she volunteers to date me so I can improve my public image, I should say no.

Our past complicates everything, but since my future depends on her, I agree to her plan.

Faking it for the public is expected, but falling in love in private?

That isn’t part of our arrangement.

LILY

Using a dating app sounded like a great idea, up until I discovered Lorenzo Vittori was my match.

My sister’s boyfriend hates him. My mom is wary of him.

And me? I’ve spent the last year avoiding him.

But when my business is threatened, I’m forced into teaming up with Lorenzo to save it.

All I need to do is help him win the mayoral election, and he promises to protect my shop.

It doesn’t take me long to learn that I’m not cut out for fake relationships, but Lorenzo?

He isn’t capable of a real one.

Release Day Blitz…Wicked Love by Willow Aster

by Courtney

Wicked Love by Willow Aster is now live!

A sexy, small town, grumpy sunshine, single dad, sports romance from USA Today Bestselling Author Willow Aster

I fell in love with his little girl first.

From the moment nine-year-old Becca Fox and I hugged, it was like we’d known each other forever. Precocious, sweet, and kind, I just knew this little girl was exceptional. Her dad, though? Not so much.

Bowie Fox checks every box in the looks department—rugged, intense, and the kind of man who makes you forget how to breathe—but his personality? About as warm as a snowstorm.

That is, until we’re seated together at his best friend’s wedding, and then…we dance.

For hours.

Beneath that gruff and hard exterior, I catch glimpses of a man who wants to let loose and enjoy life.

After the wedding, when a hotel mixup leaves me without a room and stranded in Landmark Mountain, Bowie invites me to stay in his room. In his bed.

It’s innocent at first. Until it’s not. A sizzling one-night stand for the books. Then I wake up alone and when I see him at breakfast, he is as distant as ever.

Bowie lets me know his life revolves around Becca, his teammates, and football. He makes it perfectly clear that there is no room for anyone else—especially the bubbly coach of his daughter.

As much as our paths keep crossing, I know the broody linebacker isn’t ever planning on falling for me, but when I find out I am pregnant—I wonder, Can he fall for us?

Wicked Love is book four in The Single Dad Playbook series. Each book can be read as a standalone.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Empty Net by Teagan Hunter

by Courtney

Empty Net by Teagan Hunter is now live!

I have two goals this season:

1. Stop enough pucks to get the Seattle Serpents to the playoffs.

2. Don’t fall for my fake fiancée.

When Lilah Maddison’s mother keeps trying to set her up on dates she’s not interested in, she blurts out that she’s already seeing someone. The problem? She’s single.

So, I step in to help and agree to pretend to be her boyfriend for an event. But when things go awry, we’re no longer just dating—we’re engaged. Now, I have to find a way to keep her family off her back and our team in a playoff spot, all without falling in love with Lilah, which seems more impossible with each passing day.

She’s funny, driven, drop-dead gorgeous, and not afraid to make the first move. I know we’re playing a dangerous game, yet I can’t stop myself from having feelings I definitely shouldn’t be having, especially not for my fake fiancée.

It’s my job to block, make saves, and keep the puck out of my own net, but this might be one match I can’t win…and I might not want to.

EMPTY NET is a standalone hockey romance novel. There’s a cinnamon roll goalie (who is a very good boy) that is fake engaged to a headstrong heroine, found family vibes, slightly unhinged group chats with teammates, plenty of steam, and a happy ending.

Special Edition Paperback: https://geni.us/ENSpecialPB

Add to Goodreads: https://bit.ly/4kbxmZZ

I know I can always count on Teagan to write an entertaining sports romance and this series has fit that bill perfectly.

Empty Net is the fourth book in this series and focuses on Fox and Lilah.

Fox is the epitome of a southern mama’s boy and a true gentleman. I loved how he did not hesitate to step up and help out Lilah, even if she did not want his help.

Lilah is very headstrong and likes to get things done on her own. But it’s impossible for her to ignore the help she needs (and gets) from Fox.

I always enjoy the text chains (Teagan has that in all these books) and it helps keeps add some jovialness to the story. The story flowed very nicely.

Fox’s story was a great addition to the series and I like that none of these players are alike and it keeps the stories fresh and enjoyable.

Meet Teagan

TEAGAN HUNTER writes steamy romantic comedies with lots of sarcasm and a side of heart. She loves pizza, hockey, and romance novels, though not in that order. When not writing, you can find her watching entirely too many hours of Supernatural, One Tree Hill, or New Girl. She’s mildly obsessed with Halloween and prefers cooler weather. She married her high school sweetheart, and they currently live in the PNW.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Teasing by Bella Matthews

by Courtney

Teasing by Bella Matthews is now live!

From #1 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes a single dad, grumpy/sunshine, sports romance.

Falling for the grumpy, single dad next door wasn’t on my summer to-do list.

Did I mention he’s also a football god? A really hot one? Because he is.

Becoming said baller’s new nanny?

Yeah, I definitely didn’t see that one coming.

But nothing about Maverick Beneventi was ever what I expected.

He’s the embodiment of every broody book boyfriend I’ve ever loved, wrapped in deliciously sexy muscles and covered in beautiful black ink. All scowls and sharp edges, I was sure he hated me.

Until one mischievous puppy, one rainy night, and one unexpected job offer changed everything.

Now, my days are filled with bedtime stories and butterfly kisses, all thanks to the one person who can bring Maverick to his knees—his little girl, Rosie.

He doesn’t do complications. Or fun. Or anything that could make him smile. But somewhere between late-night talks and lingering touches, stolen glances and quiet moments . . . something changes, and I did the one thing I swore I wouldn’t.

I fell in love.

With Maverick. With Rosie.

With the life I was sure I’d never have.

And with summer slipping away and my heart on the line, I have to decide—stay and fight for the family I never saw coming . . . or walk away before I destroy it all?

Download today or read for FREE with Kindle Unlimited

Amazon: https://bit.ly/42IVay7

Goodreads: https://bit.ly/42ExafG

Just when I think Bella can’t outdo herself, she delivers THIS book!!!

I absolutely LOVED everything about this!! This is not your typical single dad/nanny story. I have read many books with this trope, but none quite like this.

I was not expecting the amount of emotions to come out of me while reading this book. The amount of banter between Emmie and Maverick was perfection. It just showed that their chemistry was fire and these knew how to handle the other, but still have respect. And Rosie – that girl stole my heart.

Bella truly knows how to write a phenomenal slow-burn romance with the right amount of tension and spice. I loved that this story made me laugh, cry, get a bit hot under the collar and just have the biggest smile the majority of the book.

This is Bella’s best-to-date book, in my humble opinion.

Worth every penny!

Meet Bella
