A grumpy bartender learns he’s a dad in Kelly Siskind’s latest Bower Boys romance full of second chances, small-town charm, and steamy, slow-burn heat.
For the last ten years, I’ve been living a lie in witness protection. But the drug cartel that put me there isn’t a threat anymore, so I can have my life back. I should be thrilled, right?
Wrong.
The last thing I want to do is go back home and show everyone how far I’ve fallen. I’m not the high-powered lawyer they all expect me to be. I’m just a guy who slings drinks and scowls at the world.
But then I hear about Max, my ex’s ten-year-old son. My ten-year-old son.
I have to go back now. Figure out how to be a dad. Face the love of my life. Make things right with Sadie and earn her trust. Will she have me—or is it too late to reinvent myself as the man she once loved?
Kelly Siskind has delivered another great book in the Bower Boy series.
Demond is the oldest of the brothers and the broodiest of them. Everything was stolen from him when his family was forced into WITSEC because of his father’s choices. He’s never been able to truly deal with everything he lost. But now that he can return to his old life, he’s not sure he wants to until he finds out about Max.
I absolutely loved watching Desmond become more than his grumpy self. I loved watching him get to know his son and learning how he hits into Max’s life. The interactions between those two are my favorite parts of this book. It was just beautiful to watch Des become a better version of himself.
Des and Sadie fell into their familiar relationship with ease. I do wish we had her POV and how she’s handled things in the last ten years without Des around (that is my only gripe) but you can tell these two are fated to be together.
10 Signs You Need to Grovel is chocked full of emotions and will have you loving this small town (and all the people in it), very easily.
Kelly Siskind writes romantic comedies and contemporary romance novels for daydreamers and fantasists everywhere. She is the author of the One Wild Wish, Showmen, and Over the Top series, among other titles.

From Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author M. Robinson comes anenemies to lovers, forbidden standalone romance.
Look but don’t touch…
She showed up at my bar with a fake ID, I kicked her out. On her 18th birthday, the following week, she showed up again. Except this time, she was demanding a job. Willing to do whatever it took to get it.
Against my better judgment, she got her way, but I’m not going to make it easy on her. Neither are the guys at the bar.
I have two choices: Pretend she’s mine to protect her. Or deal with the consequences when her five older, overprotective brothers find out what their little sister is up to.
Either way…
It’s going to be hell on me.
Because the enemy is my temptation and like a sinner, I just can’t stay away.
The lovely Ms. Robinson truly knows how to start a series off with a bang!!!
Tempting Enemy was different than I anticipated and I loved it!!
Haven is the youngest amongst her siblings and the only girl. So she’s had enough of her overbearing brothers. She’s learn to be feisty and fight for what she wants. And she has sights set on Hayes.
Hayes does his best to keep Haven away from him. He does everything in his power to keep her safe too. He may not her to get tangled up with him, but he also protects her from others.
I loved everything about Haven and Hayes story. The chemistry is undeniable but that underlying drama that threatens to crush it, is what adds another layer to this story.
Monica – you have outdone yourself with this one. This is going to be one awesome series!!

An all-new meet-cute sports romance from New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Kristen Proby, featuring Sophie Montgomery!
The Score by Kristen Proby is now live!
I have millions of followers on social media, and it has absolutely nothing to do with my last name. It’s because I’m good at what I do. I work hard, and it has paid off. I’m not a trainer who only talks the talk, either. I walk the walk—or rather, I run the run. It was actually during one of those jogs through the park that I ran into him.
Of course, at the time, I didn’t realize it was the Isaiah “Ike” Harrison, Seattle’s hot new quarterback. All I knew was that I was suddenly pinned under some solid, sexy body, unable to breathe.
But even now, I keep running into Ike in the most unexpected places. And he’s doing everything in his power to convince me that he’s not just a player—in any form of the word. It’s so much more than that. But I’ve been there, done that. I have the mended broken heart to prove it and have no intention of doing it again. Except the frustrating man is convincing, and my walls are quickly lowering—especially when I feel responsible for possibly upending his career.
Is letting him in a mistake? Or will it be the best thing I’ve ever done?

Kristen and her husband, John, make their home in her hometown of Whitefish, Montana with their two cats and dog.
Eloise Eden’s pride and joy is her family’s hotel in Quincy, Montana. Her lifelong dream is to own The Eloise Inn. All she has to do is prove to her parents that she’s the epitome of responsible. That her days of being duped and making reckless decisions are history. She’s so close she can taste it.
Until after one weekend in Las Vegas, she comes home married to a stranger.
Jasper must have put her under a spell with those soul-deep eyes because after a single night together, they woke up husband and wife. Her only hope is to keep this marriage a secret until it’s annulled. Then she’ll pretend it never happened.
Except Jasper begs her to stay married. To fake it for three months so she can accompany him to a wedding. Maybe she’s lost her mind to agree. But her brooding husband seems desperate. It’s only three months, right? Then she’ll say goodbye to Jasper Vale, and with any luck, hello to her new hotel.

Jasper Vale is the fourth book in Devney’s The Edens series and can be read as a full standalone.
I have been waiting for Eloise’s book since I started this series and I was not disappointed.
First off, I have to say that I love that we got to see Eloise in Vegas and being free for once. That started of this book in the best way and gave us a full circle of who Eloise really is. I loved Eloise from the start of this series and getting to know her even more throughout this book just made me love her.
We got to meet Jasper in the last book, but only knew him as Foster’s trainer. He’s definitely a closed-off individual but as the book progresses, we get to know him better through his interactions with Eloise. He’s got quite the past and it explains a lot.
I loved that I could feel the connection between Eloise and Jasper come to life as I read this book. There are certain scenes I did not care for, but it didn’t hurt my overall love of this book. Eloise’s story was everything I had expected it to be.
Overall, I absolutely enjoyed this book. Another smashing hit in The Edens series.

Kandi Steiner has revealed the gorgeous cover for Hail Mary!
Releasing: February 15, 2023
Cover Design: Kandi Steiner
Photographer: Ren Saliba
Model: Anonymous
Leo F*cking Hernandez.
North Boston University’s star running back, notorious bachelor, and number one on my people I would murder if I could get away with it list.
And now?
He’s my new roommate.
I used to think I loved him.
But that was before I hated him.
He doesn’t remember who I am, or how he made my life miserable for years. And before I unknowingly moved across the street from him, I couldn’t have cared less. I was living my life despite him and what happened that summer, chasing my dream of becoming a tattoo artist.
“The Pit,” as the university so gracefully nicknamed the house he lives in with three other football players, has served as nothing more than a pain in my ass and a constant reminder of the boy who broke my heart. Watching him parade his one-night-stands in and out of it never helped, either.
But with rent this cheap and so close to the tattoo shop, I’ve learned to ignore him — no matter how he’s tried to get under my skin.
At least, until this summer. Because when a water and mold disaster leaves me with no choice but to vacate my house, I have nowhere to go. And Leo Hernandez offers me a deal I can’t refuse.
Live at The Pit with him and the guys, free of charge, until my landlord fixes this mess.
Ignoring him was easy when I lived across the street, but in the same house, with him shirtless half the time and watching me with his cocky grin and searing gaze? It’s impossible.
Still, I have to try. I have to push him away, even when he makes it infuriatingly difficult to do so.

She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.
When Kandi isn’t writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, planning her next adventure, or pole dancing (yes, you read that right). She enjoys live music, traveling, playing with her fur babies and soaking up the sweetness of life.

Three Strikes And You’re Mine by R.S. Grey is coming February 23rd and we’re so excited to be sharing the gorgeous cover reveal of this new standalone romcom!
Title: Three Strikes And You’re Mine
Author: R.S. Grey
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: February 23rd
About Three Strikes And You’re Mine:
Dear Past Me,
Future You here, coming to offer a little advice: hang on for dear life. This summer is going to be a wild one. I know what you’re thinking: Life’s going so well! I don’t have a care in the world! Wrong. That culinary career you love so much? It’s about to go up in smoke, and your boyfriend? Yeah…he’s a goner too. If only love were as simple as, say, actually adding yourself to the lease agreement so you don’t suddenly find yourself loveless, jobless, and homeless!
Did your five-year plan include moving back in with your family and sharing a bed with your Nonna? No? Well, hate to break it to you…it’s exactly as traumatizing as it sounds.
Have you had enough? Too bad. Buckle up—it gets worse. Your new boss is a professional baseball player, and he’s hot, like really hot, but you’ll pretend not to notice because he’s a single dad and it feels wrong to ogle him in front of his innocent child. Unfortunately, he thinks you’re sexy as hell too. Unrequited love is one thing; mutual off-limits pining destined to explode in the worst of ways? What could go wrong…wrong…wrong… (That’s me fading out because you have to take it from here, kid. Good luck! Don’t screw this up for me.)
Sincerely,
Your future (wiser) self

Compel is co-written by both Rachel Van Dyken and Patti Stanger. The blurb gives you fantasy vibes with a dark twist.
This book was definitely interesting and honestly, I am still uncertain on my exact feelings.
I am a huge fantasy (and paranormal) reader and this book was definitely different from any that I have read in either genre. I struggled with the beginning of this book and even the rest of the way through, found everything very vague for a fantasy read.
I enjoyed the premise of this story, it just lacked of world and character development for a fantasy read (definitely not a paranormal read). The descriptions of the characters were very vague (minus hair color which seemed to be prominent) and while it’s set in today’s world, I felt like it lacking something.
I enjoy the overall idea of this book. There were things that worked for me and things that didn’t. If certain things were more developed, I would have truly loved this book more.

This was my first book by Piper Lawson. I was intrigued by the blurb and wanted to give this new to me author a try.
One thing I wish I knew when I started this book was that it was initially 3 separate books combined into one story. This book took me longer than usual to get through. Did I enjoy – overall, yes. However, there were times when I had to stop, read something else and then come back to this one. While it wasn’t bad enough for me to DNF, there were times it wasn’t holding my attention enough for me to care either. Then when I found that it’s 3 books combined into one, it all made sense to me. And I probably would have appreciated the story line a bit more.
Tyler and Annie’s story spans many years and full of so many different emotions. While the beginning of this story was very slow-paced for me (again had I known it was book 1 of a trilogy probably wouldn’t have bothered me) so I struggled getting immersed into these characters lives at first.
One thing I have to point out that, regardless of knowing this was one book or 3-in-1, was the fluidity of time – these transitions were beautiful and very smooth. As the story moved along, I found myself enjoying it more and more.
Overall, I enjoyed this book and I’m grateful that I didn’t give up when things weren’t to my liking. It definitely won’t be my last book by Piper.
