E-BOOK & PAPERBACK EDITION

ALTERNATE PAPERBACK COVER EDITION

From Amazon #1 bestselling author Amy Daws, comes an all-new small town, spicy romance sure to hit you in the gut with laughs, feels, and mountain man grunts.

Help Wanted: Grumpy Mountain Man seeks baby momma. Job is an incubator position only. Surrogate must be impervious to grunting in the form of communication and nosey brotherly neighbors. Rustic mountain range housing available upon request.

I wanted to pummel my irritating brothers when they posted their own version of a wanted ad to help me with my life.

But I can’t fault the results once the right woman lands on my lap.

Becoming a single father is not a decision I made lightly. In fact, it’s the biggest decision of my entire life.

Which is why when I interview Trista, I know she’s perfect.

She’s wild, she’s opinionated, she wears cowboy boots. Even my pet goat loves her…

She’s the exact type of person I was holding out for.

And to my great horror, I realize on our first night of attempting this baby making dance…when the lights are low, the cheap wine is flowing, and the home insemination supplies are laid out on the kitchen counter…

I want to do a lot more than just make her my surrogate.

I want to make her mine.

Cover Reveal…Love Hard by Monica James

Title: Love Hard

A Memoir

Author: Monica James

Genre: Creative Non-Fiction

Cover Design: Sommer Stein

Perfect Pear Creative Covers

Photographer: Michelle Lancaster

Release Date: May 15, 2024

BLURB

If love is an addiction, your first love is the first hit.

How many of you remember your first love?

Because falling in love for the first time…I remember that. And that’s the thing about your first love—we all have a love story.

But this isn’t a love story.

This is a life story.

The good.

The bad.

The heartache.

It’s all here.

Love is truly a battlefield…

Love is scary, and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. When you love someone wholeheartedly, you leave yourself open to being destroyed…and that’s what I did, what I still do even though I know better.

But it doesn’t make a difference.

The best kind of love doesn’t make sense. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt.

This one-in-a-million story is mine, and if you take anything away from this book, it would be to never be afraid to love.

So, let me introduce myself. You may call me Z.

Buckle up, besties, because this will be a bumpy ride.

Love hits you when you least expect it.

Are you ready for the fall?

Description automatically generated

BRILLIANT!! Parker and LJ have once again given readers another phenomenal fairytale retelling.

My Dark Desire was so much more than I anticipated and I loved every bit of this story.

The banter, not just between Farrow and Zach, but between all the guys, between Farrow and her ladies – the dialogue overall was perfection. Loved it!!

I had not anticipated to laugh so much with this book. It was just another bonus to this very well written and perfectly paced story

I highly enjoyed all the sub-plots within this book and how everything just blended together wonderfully and kept readers fully engaged from start to finish.

My review is purposely devoid of any story details because you must read this without any more knowledge than the blurb. It’s so much enjoyable when you experience the story just like I did.

Another great story from these two! I am looking forward to Oliver’s story and how that one will play out.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Blitz by Devney Perry

Blitz by Devney Perry is now live!

A forbidden, small town, sports romance from Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Devney Perry.

A coach. A student. The rules were concrete. We broke them anyway.

The night I met Toren Greely was the night I learned how to lie. He was a Treasure State football coach. I was the star of the volleyball team. Coaches and students were forbidden. My future was on the line, so I told myself it was only one night.

That was the first lie. They got easier to tell after that. The lines blurred. The boundaries shifted. Our relationship became a game of its own.

A chaste smile. A knowing glance. A veiled touch or a hushed kiss. We hid in plain sight. We were invincible. Or so we thought. Neither of us saw the blitz coming until it was too late.

Game over. The night I left Toren Greely was the night I learned how to lose.

A forbidden romance? I’m in! A coach/player forbidden romance? HELL YES!!

Blitz is the second book in Devney’s Treasure State Wildcats series and can be read as a complete standalone.

I had been looking forward to Toren’s book after meeting him in Coach and Devney delivered exactly what I wanted.

Toren and Jennsyn’s story started out with the best bang and flowed wonderfully from there. The angst that comes with a forbidden college romance was delivered perfectly. I enjoyed how their sports were intertwined into the story and helped add to their tension.

Overall, Blitz played out beautifully. I was not a big fan of the ending but loved that everything came full circle.

Meet Devney

Release Day Blitz & Review…Hart of Redemption by S.B. Alexander

HART OF REDEMPTION

S.B. Alexander

Release Date: March 7

Darkness never looked so bright.

Duke Hart built an empire in the seedy underworld of Boston. Despite his success, he’s always kept his family at arm’s length to protect them from his dangerous lifestyle. But he’s ready to call it quits and hand over the reins to his partner until his sister Grace gets caught in the crossfire of a brutal war between rival gangs and the cartel.

Now Duke has no choice but to stay and fight. He abandoned Grace once. He’ll die before he’ll let her suffer again.

After five years with the bureau, FBI Agent Fallyn Williams finally has an opportunity she’s been waiting for. If she can bring in the notorious Duke Hart, then more doors will open for her as she climbs the corporate ladder to hopefully one day become the director—a role she’s dreamed about since her father held that prestigious position.

But in the treacherous expanse where gang wars and cartel thrive, Fallyn isn’t prepared for the cunning and deadly Duke Hart. As he worms his way into her heart, making her question everything she’s ever believed in, she finds herself caught in a dangerous game of cat and mouse.

With the stakes higher than ever, both Duke and Fallyn are determined to come out on top. But in a world where nothing is as it seems, success may come at a deadly cost.

Hart of Redemption is a stand-alone, enemies to lovers romantic suspense filled with an alpha hero, feisty heroine, action, intrigue, off-the-charts steamy times, and a happily ever after.

Well, hot damn!

I truly had no expectations going into this book. I have not read the previous two books and didn’t even read the blurb before reading this. The cover caught my eye and I love Susan’s writing, so I just wanted to read it. LOL

Hart of Redemption moves at a fast pace and contains lots of drama and action that will keep readers right at the edge of their seats the entire time. But what truly rocked me was Duke and the love he had for his family. He put them first, no matter what; his loyalty is unmatched.

Duke and Fallyn are both complex characters and watching things explode between them as the story progresses was just another great layer to this fantastic story. Their chemistry is undeniable and that push and pull between because neither wanted to act on their feelings was like adding fuel to an already raging fire. LOVED IT!!!

I could go on and on about this book – it is that damn good. Susan wrote a phenomenal book and I can’t wait to read the first two.

Meet S.B. Alexander:

I’m Susan Alexander, and you’ll find my books under S.B. Alexander. I’m an independent author with over 20 titles to date. I write paranormal, new adult, and sweet romances that feature hot heroes stealing hearts.

In between writing, I spend time with my soul mate of 21 years who got a bad deal in life when he was diagnosed with ALS five years ago. Since then, our journey has taken us down a path we’d never imagined. Despite that, we’ve been making the best of life, laughing, smiling, and doing what we can together.

Through all the madness, writing and publishing has been a great outlet for me. In addition, I have an amazing tribe of family, friends, readers, fans, and so many others who support me. I truly have an angel on my shoulder. My mantra is make the best of life because it’s too darn short.

I love to hear from readers and fans.

Release Day Blitz…Live, Love, Spy by Lexi Blake

Live, Love, Spy by Lexi Blake is now live!

Life can often be awkward when you’re a child genius. For Louisa Ward, that came in the form of meeting her one true love at the age of 12. TJ Taggart was perfect. But being a year younger and a full grade ahead of him in school always made things weird. Working in the CIA has turned her into a strong and capable woman. Until TJ walks into a room. Fifteen years later, she still gets butterflies every time she sees the gorgeous soldier, but she’s tired of waiting and ready to find love, even if it can’t be with him.

TJ Taggart always knew he wanted to be a soldier. But joining the Army would require a sacrifice. Since meeting Louisa, TJ knew she was the one for him, but they had different paths in life. Lou was meant to change the world at some prestigious research job or maybe teach at an Ivy League school. There would be a chance to sweep her off her feet when his time in this dangerous life was done, and their happily ever after could begin.

Before he can make it home on his latest leave, TJ is kidnapped by an unknown adversary. As he waits to die, all he can think of is the time he wasted and how badly he wants to be with Lou. He’s more than a little surprised when his sweet, quiet girl shows up leading a CIA special ops squad to bust him out. Back in Dallas, it’s time to claim the woman of his dreams. He has a plan to win her over, until the adversary who almost killed him returns to finish the job.

Ride, die, and bleed for speed.

Each member of this club follows that singular rule.

Everything else is fair game.

Just as lethal on, as I am off the track, I’m vying for the number one spot in the illegal street races against our rivals.

Then, a sweet-smelling bombshell sinks her sharp, dangerous claws into my skin before walking away from me, setting off a chain of events that I have no intention of controlling.

All I want is her.

But hate surrounds her, infects her, causes her to act against her nature.

She thinks she can run from me, but it’s impossible. I will always find her.

And I will stop at nothing to make her mine.

Just take all my money every time these ladies release a book!

GAH!! Psycho Hate is the first book in their newest MC series and they are not holding back.

I feel in love with their story telling after their The Reapers Duet and they just keep on surprising me. I truly want to sit down and just pick their brains on how their writing process.

The chemistry between Mac and Psycho (Aleko) is perfection – chef’s kiss. But what I love most was the push and pull between them – it burned these pages. These two are what I love in romance.

These two ladies know how to deliver not just an amazing story, but they know how to create an entire series with phenomenal supporting characters (that we all know will get books of their own) to keep readers enticed and on their toes.

If you love MC romances, grab this one now.
