Captivating by Bella Matthews is now live!
From USA Today and #1 Amazon Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes an Enemies to Lovers, Fake Dating, Sports Romance.
Killian St. James was the boy I loved. Now he’s the man I love to hate.
To the world, I’m America’s sweetheart. A brand built on fairy tales and love songs that sell millions. But the truth? I’m not sure I believe in happily ever afters . . . At least not for me.
Burned-out and desperate for a break, I return to my hometown, craving quiet and a tiny taste of freedom. But instead of peace, I find a stalker in the shadows, paparazzi on my heels, and a meddling family with their own ideas about my life.
Everyone insists I need protection, and having my new bodyguard pose as my fake boyfriend makes total sense . . . Not that they asked me. If that’s not enough, did I mention that Killian is all too happy to volunteer for the job?
This MMA champion is brooding, relentless, and inconveniently perfect at keeping me safe. He’s also unimaginably gorgeous, with a quiet confidence that’s even sexier than the ink tattooed on his golden skin.
But as lines blur and sparks fly, I’m left wondering if the boy I once loved could be the man I can trust with my life . . . and my heart.

When I say I devoured this book, that is no lie. I stayed up way later than I should and ignored a few responsibilities because I was so captivated by this book.
I have been reading Bella’s books for a bit now and I love that not one book has ever read the same or repeated any of the same plots. I love how I feel something different with each one and absolutely adore every character.
Lilah and Killian’s is a bit more angsty than previous books, but there is a reason for that and I loved every bit of it. And due to that angsty, there isn’t as much spice as others, but again – it’s what makes each book different and why each story hits so differently.
Bella nailed this one perfectly and delivered another phenomenal book in an amazing series. It can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend reading them in order just to get the true nature of how everyone is tied together.

I love sports romance stories and really enjoyed these were set during their college years.
I really enjoyed this box set. Each book is a full standalone but you will see overlapping characters in each one. Even though none of the stories are connected to one another, I felt that each book was better than the previous and I think that just shows the author’s writing progress and how she grew as she wrote the stories.
First book: Bad Boys Break Hearts features Mascen and Rory. These two knew one another when they are kids, but a tragic even caused Rory and her family to abruptly leave and neither of them have spoke or seen one another in the last 10 years. They now run into each other at college and things become complicated.
While I love second change, enemies to lovers, I felt alot of this could have all been avoided if these two actually communicated better, not just with each other, but those around them.
This book was right down the middle enjoyable for me.
Second Book: Nice Guys Don’t Win features Cole and Zoey. This is a roommates to lovers and coach’s daughter’s romance – which I absolutely love! This story progressed so naturally and I felt these two handled everything so well. Readers met Cole in book one, but you can easily read this one without any knowledge and love him just as much.
While I personally wanted more tension between the two of them, I really enjoyed this one.
Third Book: Real Players Never Lose features Teddy and Vanessa. Teddy and Vanessa’s romance starts off with fake dating due to issues both Teddy and Vanessa finds themselves in and realize they both could help one another out.
I enjoyed this story the most. This story unfolded very really well and the chemistry was undeniable between the two of them. I will say there were parts that felt a little too drawn-out and one aspect that was left unfinished, but I still enjoyed this one the most.
Overall – a great sports romance boxset!

The Gravedigger’s Son
Well, more of the same troubles, but things escalated rapidly one fateful weekend, and his life had never been the same. His relationship with the elfin queen—his descriptor—had never been the same. The fact that he thought about her every day, craved her every day, meant nothing. He’d hurt her. Physically. Emotionally. Psychologically. There was no going back. And in all the years since, in all the towns and all the bars and all the women, he’d never met anyone who compared to the ethereal creature known as Amber Kowalski.
Memories of You
“You and me,” he says. “Forever. Call it a relationship because it is one. Call it friends with benefits, because you are the best friend I will ever have, and if you’ll have me, the last lover I’ll ever have, too.”
My heart flutters, and my hand flies to my mouth. “Is this a proposal?”
“Yes. No. I don’t know. Is it?”
I laugh. “No,” I say, feeling giddy enough that I could float on air. “I want to date first. But why don’t we call it a promise?”
“Baby, I will promise you the world if you want it.”
I shake my head, then feel warm tears on my cheeks as he pulls me even closer. “God, Renly, don’t you get it? I never wanted the world. All I’ve ever really wanted is you.”
More Than Possess You
But I am, because no matter how familiar Echo is, I’ll never look at her the same.
This morning, I notice things about her I never have. Though she’s all woman, her long, dark lashes brush round cheeks that are almost girlish. Her lips are rosy, the bottom one heavy and pouty when it parts slightly, as if in unspoken invitation. Her bare shoulder is dotted with two tiny freckles, which peek out above the crisp white sheet covering the rest of her body. Not that it does any good. Last night, I saw her. I felt her. And I remember her—every detail. I don’t know how I’ll forget.
We can’t ever go back to being just friends. I’m not sure I want to.
Securing Jane
How long they sat like that she wasn’t sure, but she felt more connected to Storm than she’d ever felt with another man. Ever. It should’ve scared her. Hell, they hadn’t even really kissed or spent much time together, but he’d shown by his actions that he wasn’t like the boys she’d dated in the past. He was a grown-ass man, an honorable one. One she was desperate to get to know intimately.

Release date: February 11th

READ TODAY!

BLURB
From bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills comes a steamy novella about first love and second chances where a city girl returns home for a Valentine’s Day tradition…and the boy who broke her heart.
Roses are red, violets are blue—someone in Rose has feelings for you…
Yeah, bad ones. Everly Davis didn’t leave her tight-knit hometown on the best terms. It’s been ten years, but you don’t forget heartbreak like that. Then again, the anonymous invite to the annual Kiss Lottery in Rose, Tennessee, gives Everly content for her podcast. And she has a bone to pick with that old heartbreak anyway.
Beckett Whitfield has never left Rose—and he’s never forgotten Everly. He even named the villain in his latest bestseller after her. Turns out she’s not happy about that. Nothing about their reunion is particularly happy, and after the way they left things, what did he expect?
When the Kiss Lottery pairs them together, Everly and Beckett will have to confront old feelings that never went away and the secrets they never shared. But finally telling each other everything might be exactly what they’ve needed all along.


This was the cutest novella and perfect for right around Valentines Day.
The Kiss Lottery is very fast-paced and has the second-chance, small-town romance vibes going on.
The blurb tells you all you need to know. The chemistry between Beckett and Everly is very obvious from the get-go but they have a past and he apparently held tight onto his hatred. That is all you are getting from me in any regards to the story or plot.
The banter was on-point and the mannerisms of these two was perfection. The whole premise of this book was great but watching it all unfold as the story progressed was adorable.
This is a great romance novella for anyone.

Under an Endless Moon by A.L. Jackson is now live!
I should have known I’d break the oath I made when I offered to let my best friend’s little sister move in with me…
She’s the sweetest woman on the face of the planet.
And to my great misfortune, the sexiest one, too.
She’s been living under her brother’s roof her entire life, and she’s ready to spread her wings.
And I’m the masochist who offers she stay at my place until she can find an apartment.
When I hear her having a nightmare, the only thing I can do is go to her. Hold her so she knows she’s safe from her demons.
The second she’s in my arms, the attraction I’ve tried to hide sparks to life. I know better than to push past the boundaries I’ve set for us, but when she begs me to touch her in a way she’s never been touched, I can’t resist.
And with my name on her lips as I send her soaring for the first time, I know there’s no going back.
I’m willing to break every rule and oath I’ve ever made to keep her.
Accept every consequence.
Only she and I have a dark, dangerous history that no one knows about.
And I’m afraid the consequences of loving her have just caught up to us…

Like many who have been reading this series, I was not expecting anyone but Frankie to be paired with Oliver. Oh, how we were all so incredibly wrong and these two authors proved why.
Briar is the perfect and unexpected match for Oliver in so many ways. The amnesia trope can easily go wrong when not written properly, but Leigh and Parker wrote this beautifully and I love how it all played out.
I want to say so much but don’t want to ruin anything accidentally. My Dark Prince is wonderful romantic story with quite a few tropes that readers will love seeing intertwined and coming together so perfectly.
Another perfect addition to this series.



JUST ONE MORE TEMPTATION
Carly Phillips
Release Date: February 4

He’s a grumpy single dad who’s serious and uptight.
She’s a younger free spirit who’s sunshine and light.
Fallon Sterling’s one experience with a rich, older man ended in heartbreak. So when twin nine-year-old girls wind up in her gallery, followed by their oh-so-hot dad, she refuses to notice how sexy he is. And she will not let herself fall for his broody charms. Or his adorable daughters. That was her plan. Unfortunately, planning hasn’t always been her strong suit…
Noah Powers needs a reliable nanny, not a romance with a much younger artist who his girls adore. The fact that he desires Fallon and the sunshine she brings into his drab world doesn’t matter. His focus needs to be on his work and his daughters. Trouble is, he can never remember that when Fallon is in his arms.
Somewhere between a matchmaking family (his) and dangerous workplace drama (hers), Fallon and Noah realize they might have more in common than they thought. But is it enough for happily ever after?
Just One More Temptation, book 3 in the stand-alone Sterling Family series, is a spicy, fun, hot, age-gap, single-dad, contemporary romance. Order today, and welcome to romantic escapism at its steamiest.

Comeback by Rebecca Jenshak is now live!
My brother’s best friend is such a jerk.
An imposing, handsome jerk who doesn’t trust me. And now we’re roommates.
He wanders around the apartment in nothing but gray sweatpants, looking like a broody, tattooed muscle god, and playing music that shakes the walls. I want to hate him for treating me like an intruder, but there’s something about the way he looks at me—like he’s trying to figure me out—that keeps pulling me in.
Archer Holland is loyal, caring, and protective—with everyone except me.
Every time I move around our apartment, I can feel his glare. And the worst part? It only makes me want him more.
Not that it matters.
He’s my brother’s best friend—the one guy I can never have. But after a late-night rescue, we go from sharing a wall to sharing a bed.
I’m not sure what my brother would do if he found out, but it doesn’t matter because Archer says it can’t happen again.
That imposing, handsome jerk is about to find out I’m done playing by his rules.
Comeback is a football romance with lots of spice, swoon, and a happily ever after. It’s the third book in the Holland Brothers series and can be read as a standalone.

NOT YOUR BIGGEST FAN
Sara Ney
Release Date: January 28
Blurb:
USA Today bestselling author Sara Ney sizzles with a quick-witted, sexy romp about an eager entrepreneur and a cocky football star who couldn’t be more different—or more into each other.
Harlow James is destined to rock the dating world. The creator of Kissmet, the app helping singles find love, she’s in New York to secure advertisers. But the sassy, small-town girl can’t help meddling in other people’s business.
When she runs into a muscular stranger at her go-to food truck, Harlow doesn’t realize he’s Landon “Andy” Burke, the NFL’s most-wanted free agent, in town to talk contracts. She just sees a hottie about to get burned by undercooked street food. Though she tries to warn him, he shrugs her off, making a little wager instead.
In a messy twist of fate, Andy finds himself in the same hotel as Harlow. When she collects on their bet, they make a mind-blowing—and bed-rocking—connection. But after the weekend, she goes home to Green Bay to her goofy dad and corgi, ready to focus everything on work again. Kissmet, however, has other ideas, when Andy knocks on her door…

Not Your Biggest Fan was a very cute sports romance in Sara’s newest series, Not Yours.
I have always enjoyed Sara’s books as they are very light, hardly any drama or angst, lots of humor and characters that make you smile. And you get exactly that with this book.
The meet-cute between Harlow and Andy is very endearing and really sets the tone for this book. Harlow is quite the character and while she says she’s not like her father (Big Steve will be a fave of readers) she definitely exudes the same confidence and inner-strength he has. Andy was entertaining at times, but he really didn’t do much for me, but that didn’t deter me from enjoying the story.
As with most of Sara’s books, the story takes place over a short period of time and we get to see how these characters get to know one another and leaves their outcome open-ended (sometimes seen in other books of the series). I love that Sara’s books have this sort of ending for her characters because nothing is set in stone for them for the future and allows readers to create their own epilogue of sorts.
I am looking forward to more from this series and anxiously await to see who takes Dex down.
