From USA Today and international bestselling author of The Simple Wild comes a sweeping second-chance, forbidden romance set against the rugged beauty of northern Ontario.
Emery McAllister once dreamed of leaving Cold River with the boy next door, but one devastating night destroyed their future and left her heart carefully guarded. Twenty years later, she’s built a life of control: running the town’s police detachment, raising her daughter, and keeping a fragile peace with her ex-husband, the mayor. She’s certain she has moved on until the day she has dreaded—and secretly hoped for—finally arrives. Logan Landry is home.
After two decades behind bars for being in the wrong place at the wrong time—and the choices that haunted him ever since—Logan returns to his family’s bison ranch carrying the weight of everything he lost, but especially Emery. Friendship is all he dares hope for now, but seeing her ignites a fire he thought long extinguished. When a teenage girl disappears and old wounds reopen, Logan becomes Cold River’s favorite suspect, despite his airtight alibi. As distrust closes in, Emery must choose between the life she’s built … and the love she can’t let go.

I love a good second-chance romance, especially a forbidden second chance! Add in some mystery, and well, this book is right up my alley.
KA starts this book off with a bang and pretty much does not hold back as the story moves along. I love that this story is told in dual POVs, as it helps readers get a better understanding of both the FMC and MMC.
I am purposely being obtuse about what happens, as the blurb gives you just enough to know what to expect going in. There’s some mystery, lots of chemistry and angst, then add in the found family, and you’ve got quite the entertaining story.
I may have figured things out earlier than most, but I still enjoyed the story and vibes of it.
Prepare to be swept away by Almost Ravaged, the first book in an all new dark, why choose, college hockey trilogy from bestselling author Abby Millsaps.
They say you never forget your first love.
What they don’t say is how hard it is to move on when he happens to be the trifecta: a brooding hockey player, your brother’s best friend, AND the keeper of your darkest secret.
I spent three years trying to get over Tytus Tremblay, only to slingshot right back into his orbit when we’re reunited at Holt University.
But Tytus isn’t the only man on my radar anymore.
I have a new enemy in the form of Mercer Eden, an arrogant, condescending professor almost twice my age who happens to be my boss. Then there’s his sweet, bashful best friend, Noah Henry, the owner of Evercrisp Orchard.
The pleasure Mercer and Noah offer me—individually, and together—is the primal distraction I live for. It just might be what I need to finally forget my first love and move on with my life.
But then Tytus makes a life-altering choice that affects us all, and one thing becomes abundantly clear: he never plans to let me go.

Man, oh man, Abby – you definitely know how to deliver the perfect punch at the start of a series.
I was very intrigued with where Abby was going to take this story after the start of this book.
I love that she gives us a nice background on some of the main characters and then proceeds to show us where they are a few years later and introduces us to the other main characters.
I am saying zero else about the plot because I knew absolutely zilch about this book except the blurb and that made this book all the more delicious to read. And that ending – in true Abby fashion, that came out of nowhere and now I need the next book.
I will leave you with this….this book will have your appreciating those spicy scenes soooooo much. Phew.
From USA Today bestselling author JD Hollyfield comes a sizzling, rule-breaking romance that will leave you breathless.
When Georgia receives the opportunity of a lifetime—an internship alongside her boyfriend for the summer—she never expects to be swept into an illicit affair with the one person she should avoid: his father.
In a whirlwind of family secrets, undeniable chemistry, and steamy passion, Georgia finds herself caught between a love that defies logic and the dangerous consequences of betrayal in this age-gap, forbidden romance that pushes every boundary.
Is their connection enough to withstand the explosion when the truth comes out, or will they burn in the embers?
This novel may contain triggers. Don’t say you weren’t warned…
First off, this book had me in a chokehold – which Jackson would love to hear. I read this book within a day, but each time I had to pause for whatever reason (work and family – always so needy), this book was on my mind. I had to know what was going to happen next.
Second – Jackson – damn. I am not one that’s into his kinks, the whole degrading thing but damn he made it sound hot and Georgia begged for it – ALOT.
Third – the plotline. WOW. There is alot that goes on in this story and it keeps you right at the edge the entire time. As much as Jackson and Georgia’s forbidden secret played a key role, the suspense and blackmail happening was just as enticing.
JD did a fantastic job of blending everything going on in this book into one high-octane story that leaves you breathless, in so many ways. This book had me on edge the entire time and even though I was right on things, it was how it all played that made this story perfect.
And I can’t forget Noah – he’s why all this happened to begin with. I am looking forward to more from him…

We keep things interesting with cats and a dog and the critters that roam though the yard (fingers crossed the mountain lions stay away).

How do I review this book and not give anything away!?! Pam truly knows how to deliver a story to her readers that is jaw dropping and absolutely engaging from start to finish.
Heart of Frost and Scars is the third and final book in her Frozen Fate series. You MUST read these books in order. This book starts off exactly where Cage of Ice and Echoes ended and readers are immediately thrusted back into the lives of our four amazing characters.
Just when you thought Pam could not throw anything more at us, she shocks us all with this book. I absolutely the new twists in this book and it just keeps readers write at the edge, wondering what is going to happen next.
This entire series is mangled up in a web of twists and turns that’s riddled with lies, deceit and deception. I have been left gasping so many times but also in awe of Frankie too. This series definitely puts your emotions through the ringer.
Highly, highly recommended series. It’s very dark in many ways, but so incredibly well written and one that no reader should pass up.
New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author, Pam Godwin, lives in the Midwest with her husband, cats, retired greyhounds, and an old, foul-mouthed parrot.

Wicked Scandal is the second book in the Misfits series and can easily be read as a standalone.
I really enjoyed how this student/teacher, forbidden romance plays out. Rachel does a phenomenal job of allowing readers to empathize and understand both Wilder and Catherine’s decisions and their inner battles.
Rachel does a great job of the pacing in this story and how things come to light and play out. Readers get to see that inner turmoil within Catherine. Readers will absolutely adore Wilder and I love that he stays true to himself.
A great addition to this series.

Before he discovered my age, he uncovered my heart.
Bruised and abused, and victim to a loveless household, I shimmered with new life the moment he found me drowning my sorrows in a lake beneath the stars.
A chance encounter. An unspoken connection.
I was smitten; he was curious.
But, as everyone knew, fate could be decidedly cruel.
He called me Halley, like the comet.
I called him Reed.
And my best friend?
Well…she called him Dad.

My first book by Jennifer and definitely not my last one.
Older is an age-gap, forbidden romance that definitely took me on an emotional rollercoaster.
This story is definitely character driven and readers get to truly see these characters struggle and grow as time moves forward.
This story is a true slow-burn and while I wanted to see more of their connection and not just Halley’s day-to-day doings, I could still get an idea of how things developed.
Jennifer knows how write a gripping story and even though this one had some mundane bits in the middle, overall it was a great story.
Definitely a forbidden romance that any romance reader will enjoy.

PLEASE AVOID THE BLURB FOR THIS BOOK. This story will hurt you a lot less if you scroll by and go in BLIND, trust me… But if you *have* to know what you’re getting into, you can read the synopsis below.
I should’ve known better. I should’ve left her alone… She told me she was twenty-one. I found out that was a lie. There was over a decade between us, and sure, she was mature for her age, but I kept my distance every chance I could. At least, I tried to. There aren’t too many places to hide on a boarding school’s campus, and there are far more places to get caught… I never intended for this to happen. I was her English professor, and she was only supposed to be my student. **See?That’s why you shouldn’t have read this blurb and went in blind. Alas, this is an emotional ride of a romance with toxic undertones that will drive you to some unexpected places. The author just felt like writing this story one day, so don’t say you weren’t warned about what you were getting into.**
