Release Day Blitz & Review…From Nowhere by Jewel E. Ann

by Courtney

From Nowhere by Jewel E. Ann is now live!

From Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Jewel E. Ann comes the exciting second novel in the Wildfire series, an emotional romance that burns up the page as it tugs at the heart.

When Maren Bernabe stops by the office to update some paperwork, she’s not looking for love. Then sparks fly during an awkward meet-cute with a stranger in the bathroom, and suddenly anything seems possible.

A seasoned air tanker pilot, Maren battles fires across the rugged Montana wilderness. With firefighters for roommates, she’s no stranger to tough guys—or tough situations. Ozzy Laster is the helpful stranger she meets, one of Cielo Aviation’s newest aircraft mechanics who’s faced his fair share of hardship too. Two years ago, his wife and father died in a car crash. Now Ozzy and daughter Lola shun cars in favor of bikes.

Maren and Ozzy fall hard, but guilt forces them to hide their relationship from Ozzy’s disapproving in-laws. And Lola. They all want to protect her from more heartbreak. But when tragedy strikes again, Lola’s reaction will surprise them all. And Ozzy could get a second chance at love after all…

If Jewel writes, I will read it (that is totally said in my head like the famous Field of Dreams quote).

I feel like I say this with every book she writes (and I probably do) but I don’t think there is ever a story of hers that I do not immensely enjoy and find myself completely absorbed by.

All of her stories are absolutely addictive with their story lines. But these last two books have just been on another level with the emotions.

I freaking love Maren; I love everything about her. Ozzy – what can I say – he’s on another level when it comes to single dads. These two together – perfection in so many ways.

I loved the progression of this story. It felt so natural, so real. Jewel delivers an amazing story that is filled with laughs, some angst and alot of emotion that will just pull at your heart.

From Nowhere is another phenomenal story that will stay with me a long time.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Bride by Initiation by Maggie Cole

by Courtney

Title: Bride by Initiation

Series: The Underworld #1

Author: Maggie Cole

Genre: Dark Romance

Tropes: Secret Society/Mafia Romance

Friends to Lovers/Forbidden/Marriage Pact

Release Date: February 26, 2025

BLURB

From International bestselling author Maggie Cole comes her highly anticipated secret society, deliciously dark, next-generation Mafia series about two lifelong friends. Sean O’Malley Jr. and Zara Marino have a similar obsession with their fathers’ secrets, but discovering the truth requires them to surrender to each other and the unknown of their Underworld vows.

If secrets and lies, desires and denials, bonds and betrayal didn’t exist, Sean O’Malley would stay my friend forever.

That’s not the case.

There are two things we’ve always wanted but were off the table.

First: The truth about our fathers.

Second: Each other.

So when a mysterious man shows up with a branded skull on his hand, speaking in riddles about an Underworld he claims we’re meant to reign in, it’s too tempting not to get sucked into the forbidden.

Even if it means sinking deeper into the darkness, testing all our boundaries, and clinging to the friends we used to be and the vows we’re now bound to for eternity.

Bride by Initiation is a standalone with interconnected characters, and book one of The Underworld series. This dark, secret society, Mafia, friends to lovers, forbidden, first real love, marriage pact romance is not meant for the faint of heart. Expect violence, taboo, and graphic scenes.

Lots of new-to-me authors recently and I am loving it!!

Why has no one told me about this author before now?!?! Maggie Cole, you have just earned yourself a new fangirl!!

This series is apparently a spin-off from another series she wrote, but I can tell you I had no idea and you need zero prior knowledge to absolutely enjoy this book.

Bride by Initiation is an intriguing and gripping dark mafia/secret society romance. Sean and Zara are both on a quest to find out about each of their father’s secrets and it takes them down a path neither anticipated.

Maggie has written a brilliant story with an engaging plot, great characters with a storyline that flows at the perfect pace. I love the story plays out in perfect timing and she blends the dark with the suspense and romance in such a spectacular way that you can’t out the book down.

I devoured this book in one sitting and has left me wanting more about this whole secret society and what is to come in future books. Zara and Sean get their ending but you know there is more to come with others.

Definitely go buy this one!

Birdie wants nothing more than to escape the clutches of her cruel and wicked stepmother, and to be with the only person she’s ever truly loved—her stepsister, Violet.

When her stepmother threatens to auction off Birdie’s hand in marriage to the highest bidder, Birdie sees it as her only way out.

Her stepsister has a plan…

Enlist the help of her rich and powerful ex, Alaric Stone, to bid on their behalf.

But when things go awry at the auction, and Birdie is forced to give away far more than she expected, Alaric decides he’s playing for keeps.

He wants both of them.

Can the three of them escape the clutches of Birdie’s selfish stepmother together?

Meet Sara Cate:

Let’s skip the boring About the Author bit where I tell you how I’m a USA Today bestselling author who lives in Arizona with her kids, husband, and dog and enjoys baking in my free time. Boring.

Instead, I’d like you to know I strive to be a taboo and forbidden romance author who dares to tell stories with heart-wrenching plot and toe-curling heat.

My passion in life is to normalize a reading experience that pushes boundaries and empowers women to own their sexuality. Things that trigger my soapbox rants are discrediting the romance industry or belittling its readers by calling it “trash.” You’ve been warned. I could quite literally go on for days.

I like to take risks and write from the heart. And I want nothing more than to be an author readers trust to deliver books that are steamy AF but with a strong storyline and well-rounded characters.

What is The Sara Cate Experience?

The Sara Cate Experience means being pulled into a story and escaping reality a little bit for romances that are as emotional as they are arousing. The feelings are strong and the steam is scorching. There is never one without the other because when sex and love come together, it’s fireworks.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Broken in the Dark by Ashley Elizabeth

by Courtney

Broken in the Dark by Ashley Elizabeth is now live!

BROKEN.

That’s what I am when he finds me in the dark,

saving me from the vicious grasp of a bloodthirsty monster

by bringing me back to the only place I ever called home.

THE ALARIE ESTATE.

A fortress where I spent my childhood,

safely hidden behind impenetrable stone walls.

A place where my heart only ever beat for him.

But all that changed one ominous night seven years ago

when I was forced to leave behind everything and everyone I knew.

And now, as I stand before him saying my vows,

I no longer see the gentle boy I grew up with,

but a man of great strength and power who thrives in darkness.

To the world, he’s a deadly predator.

To me, he’s my husband.

Ready to burn the world to ashes and annihilate any monster

who dares to touch me,

including the one with no face who hides in the shadows,

stopping at nothing to get me back.

LE DIABLE.

A man feared by everyone except one.

I have never read anything by Ashley before and was pleasantly surprised with this book. After finishing this book, I did a bit more research on Ashley because I wanted to see what other books she had out and was even more surprised to see that she’s a fairly new author (first published in 2023 and this is her fourth release). So this is my PSA to everyone saying to check her out because she’s quite talented.

This is a great start to a new series by Ashley Elizabeth. This is labeled as a dark romance, however, I would say the only “dark” parts are what Scarlett endures and everything else is more on the suspense side. This would be perfect for anyone looking to dip their toes into dark romance.

I won’t go into any specifics or details about this book because I feel like readers will enjoy this book more without knowing much more than the blurb. This story does surround Leo and Scarlett and how their lives are intertwined once again.

Broken in the Dark is very fast paced with some twists and turns that keeps readers right at the edge the entire time. I did figure things out fairly early on, but that did not really hinder my enjoyment of this book. And while there were some things that bothered me (few character inconsistencies) they too did not hurt the overall vibe of this story.

I highly recommend this story. It’s a great way to dip your toes into dark romance and dark romance lovers will appreciate the story itself with how things play out.

Meet Ashley Elizabeth

Ashley Elizabeth is an author of steamy contemporary romance. Her books will always tell a love story with just the right amount of spice and, most importantly, end with a happily ever after. When she’s not reading a romance novel or overthinking everything, you can find her at Starbucks, keeping them in business, or watching Jurassic Park for the thousandth time with her fur baby, Bailey.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Captivating by Bella Matthews

by Courtney

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.

Meet Bella

Release date: February 11th

READ TODAY!

https://amzn.to/49BGhiI

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.

About the Author:

Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and USA Today best-selling author Ilsa Madden-Mills is best known for her angsty new adult romances and romantic comedies.

Fourteen of her Eighteen novels have placed in the Amazon Top 10 Best-seller List: Dirty English #1; Not My Romeo #1; The Revenge Pact #1; Dear Ava, Fake Fiancée, I Dare You, and I Promise You #2; I Hate You #5; Not My Match, I Bet You, Filthy English, and Very Bad Things #6; Boyfriend Bargain #8; The Last Guy, her collaboration with Tia Louise, #4.

Release Date: February 9, 2025

BLURB

From Wall Street Journal bestsellers L.J. Shen and Parker S. Huntington comes a twisted second-chance romance between a prince haunted by a dark secret and his reluctant Sleeping Beauty.

Oliver

I don’t usually trap women with amnesia into marriage.

But I guess there’s a first time for everything.

When the woman of my dreams falls into my lap, I can’t help but wonder what else she can do in that position.

She’s here. In my house. At my mercy.

And she thinks we’ve been lovers the entire decade we spent apart.

Briar and I have always been unfinished business.

Now it’s time to seal the deal.

Briar

I’m marrying a beautiful monster.

A crooked fraud. America’s wealthiest bachelor.

He claims we’re in love, yet all I taste in our kisses is hate and lust.

I don’t remember why or how.

But I do remember he’s the enemy.

Now, I’m stuck inside a nightmare.

And Oliver will do anything to keep me in the dark.

Authors’ Note: My Dark Prince is a standalone enemies-to-lovers Sleeping Beauty retelling, in which a damaged billionaire with a dark past and his childhood sweetheart fall in love—literally. It is set in the decadent Dark Prince Road universe.

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.

Release Day Blitz…Just One More Temptation by Carly Phillips

by Courtney

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.

Release Day Blitz & Review…So Right by Abby Millsaps

by Courtney

So Right by Abby Millsaps is now live!

An emotional, steamy, why choose romance from bestselling author Abby Millsaps.

It wasn’t supposed to be like this.

Spence swore he had a plan. He assured us he had everything under control. He promised we could trust him. What he forgot to mention?

His so-called plan was actually an emotional bombshell with enough force behind it to destroy us all.

Technically, his plan worked—my mother and stepfather have ended their campaign to convince me to be a living organ donor.

But the emotional damage and mental load of his big announcement has created a ripple effect throughout our cohort.

Greedy is haunted and despondent.

Levi is initially shocked, then filled with shame.

Sione is simply annoyed, because he knows this is all a ruse.

Spence is stoic but more determined than ever to ensure our safety.

As for me?

I feel it all. Every sorrowful reaction and warranted frustration thrums through my veins.

But there’s something else there, too: A sense of longing. A deep-seated desire I’ve never allowed myself to admit.

After running the gamut of emotions, I finally land on a surprising truth: I want a baby.

For real.

Right now.

With all of them.

This is it.

I’m ready to claim the happily ever after I deserve with all four of my men by my side. I just have to convince them to go along with my plan and hope like hell that my mother leaves us alone once and for all.

So Right is the fourth and final book in the Boys of South Chapel series. A full list of tropes and triggers can be found on the author’s website.

Start reading So Wrong, book 1 in the Boys of South Chapel series!

https://geni.us/sowrong

This is how you end a great series! Perfect title for this book!

So Right starts off where So Rare ended and Abby keeps it engaging til the end.

I won’t give away any spoilers or even really get into details on what happens in this book. But just know that they all get their HEA and it’s the perfect ending to this story.

I will say this is one of my favorite polyamorous reads and have enjoyed Hunter and her men’s story. I loved how each book played out and Abby showed alot of character growth throughout each book.

This series is an absolute must-read!

Meet Abby

Abby Millsaps is an author and storyteller who’s been obsessed with writing romance since middle school. In eighth grade, she failed to qualify for the Power of the Pen State Championships because all her submissions contained the same theme: young people falling in love. #LookAtHerNow

She’s best known for writing unapologetically angsty romance that causes emotional damage for her readers. Abby prides herself in writing authentic characters while weaving mental health, chronic illness, and neurodiverse representation into the fabric of her stories.

Abby met her husband at a house party the summer before her freshman year of college. He had a secret pizza stashed in the trunk of his car that he was saving for a midnight snack–how was she supposed to resist that level of golden retriever energy and preparedness? When Abby isn’t writing, she’s reading, traveling, and raising her three daughters.
