Dumping Eve was the worst mistake of my life and I’d do anything to take it all back. That’s why I showed up tonight, at an event that she planned, hoping for a second chance to make things right.
I absolutely adore these quick, sweet romance reads from Jen.
Tricked By My Ex is quick, steamy second chance romance that readers will love.
I won’t say much because the blurb gives you what need to know and readers will devour this story quickly.
Jen has truly nailed these novella-like stories all the while, still delivering the right amount of angst/drama and romance into the story line.
Tricked By My Ex is the perfect read for the Halloween season.

Biting banter, fake relationships, and illicit workplace rendezvous–anything goes in this romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author R.S. Grey.
While most little girls grow up idolizing Ariel or Belle, I was banging a plastic gavel and pretending to be Judge Judy. I spent my summers divorcing Barbie and Ken and splitting their Dreamhouse assets. Now, my goal to become the very best acquisitions lawyer at the top firm in Chicago is within reach.
I’m one month into my big-girl job at Elwood Hoyt, venti Starbucks in hand, ready to take on the day. The sleek elevator doors are about to close…then he steps in after me. Hudson Rhodes—the one senior partner I was told to avoid at all costs—just so happens to be the heartless villain I’m assigned to work under.
Ever since he found out who I am—the Scarlett Elwood—we’ve been enemies, the sort who constantly bicker and bark, take jabs in the boardroom, and occasionally pop up shirtless in each other’s steamy dreams. Y’know, that kind. He has to know I could run to my dad at any time and demand his firing, but his confident smirk says he knows I’d never give him the satisfaction.
The elevator chimes as we reach our floor, and I feel his broad shoulders pull even with mine. Fury mixes with fear, hatred with lust. He turns to briefly hold my gaze before confidently stepping out in front. His message is clear:
If I want to reach my goal, I’m going to have to go through him first.

Mr. Big Shot is like the equivalent of a pallet cleanser when you are jumping between different genres. I breezed through this book so quickly and hadn’t even realized it. It was that damn good.
Ms. Grey really knows how to write relatable and thoroughly enjoyable characters (both main and secondary). I love how all these characters always help sustain the story without feeling inundated with too many people.
The plot of this story is very simple and that’s one of the best parts about this book. While it’s simple, it’s very entertaining and just makes for a great, perfect read to jumpstart things for a reader.
What can I say other than, Mr. Big Shot truly showcases why I will always read anything Ms. Grey puts out. It’s a flawless story with impeccable writing.
Meet R.S. Grey
R.S. Grey is the USA Today bestselling author of over thirty novels, including seven #1 bestselling romantic comedies. She lives in Texas with her husband, two daughters, and dog.
A young woman, cursed. A rebellious prince in hiding. A forbidden love that will threaten two worlds… There are two main things I’ve learned since my life turned upside down. The first is, if you speak of someone’s death before it happens, you’ll be blamed for murder. The second? If the hottest guy you’ve ever seen kisses you, and thanks you for saving his life, don’t argue.
I watched him die, over and over. So many times. The vision is always the same and there is never one damn thing I can do to save him. I don’t know why I can’t dream about normal things, like going to school naked, or spiders. I hate spiders. No, I’m lucky enough to see strangers at the moments of their deaths.
The only thing keeping me sane is knowing the visions aren’t real.
Until the accident. The blood. He dies in my arms.
At least, I thought he did. But now he’s here, telling me I saved his life. Telling me unbelievable stories about monsters and gods and destiny. Promising to protect me.
If none of this is real, why am I afraid of the creatures hunting me? And if I saved his life, why are the nightmares back, stronger than ever? What is this thing lurking inside me, eager to strike?
I don’t know, but I’m freaking out.
I’m afraid what I think is real, isn’t. And what I know is not, just might be.

I’ve Watched You Die is the first book in what I can only call a very intriguing & engaging Norse Mythology fantasy romance.
Karina draws readers in immediately with a jaw-dropping scene but continues to keep them on edge with great world building & enticing characters.
I won’t give you any details of the book because this book is best experienced without any knowledge but what the blurb gives you.
Karina builds this story perfectly by delivering the right amount of information with riveting action scenes that all wrap together.
I’ve never read anything like this before and never wanted the book to end. I love the Norse Mythology that this story is based off of and cannot wait to see what happens in book two.
Absolute must-read, especially for those who love fantasy.
Meet Karina Banks
Karina Banks lives, works, and goes to school in Boston, MA. She is a college student, songwriter, rock climber, pianist, and can normally be found sipping a cup of Earl Grey tea – with milk and sugar, of course. Karina began writing new scenes for her book as a means to procrastinate doing her “real” homework. If you live in Boston, you might catch her riding the T, or frequenting a nearby boba location. I’ve Watched You Die is her first novel.
Growing up in a house full of brothers, it’s not a surprise that Alana Ashton is the princess of Hope Crest.
Being the only female of the small town’s founding family means that while she usually gets her way, she has to work doubly hard to earn and keep respect. Veering from her expected path to follow crazy dreams, like opening her own shop, not only isn’t in the cards, it’s also not taken seriously. So when her best friend, the ex-high school quarterback with a smile of gold and a traumatic past, proposes marriage out of the blue after years of Alana not-so-secretly pining after him, the answer isn’t an automatic no.
Marrying him, and the fortune they’ll both inherit if she specifically says I do, could be just the thing to set her vision in motion. But can she keep their decades-long relationship strictly business, or will those long unrequited feelings fool her into thinking this union will be for life?
Warren Teal is the orphan no one wanted but everyone speculated about.
After his father tragically took his mother from him, Warren’s story has been broadcast in the media for years. Cue the Ashtons, who took him under their wings the first time Alana brought him home in middle school. Years later, Hope Crest’s royal family offered him a job at their renowned restaurant, and Warren thought he’d found the quiet, under-the-radar life he’d always been searching for.
Until the day he received a letter leaving him a fortune. There was just one catch; he must marry to receive it. And not just anyone, but the gorgeous, stubborn woman he’d always loved in secret but never felt worthy of. Knowing he could return the favor and grant her wildest dreams, he popped the question.
But when his past comes for the future they’re building, she gets caught in the crossfires of the danger and darkness meant for him. Divorce, and breaking his own heart, seem like the only options to keep her safe.
Even if doing so means he may never get to confess that their fake marriage is the realest love he’s ever experienced.

Teagan Hunter is back with a new hockey series and I am here for it!!
I absolutely loved Teagan’s Carolina Comets series, so when I heard she was writing a new hockey series, I was onboard immediately. However, I can definitely tell she has set the tone for this one in a different way.
Body Check has some character cross-over, but you do not need to read the Carolina Comet series to know anything. The characters were side characters and Teagan truly introduces them in this book and gives you the perfect glimpse of what is to come.
The Seattle Serpents series definitely has a different tone and I can already tell that I am going to love it. I love that Teagan gives this series a different cadence because it separates the two series. But it has all the qualities I love about her writing – humor, lots of spice and the right touch of drama to create those amazing endings.
Body Check is Hutch and Auden’s story. These two have a chance meeting and somehow keep finding one another in each other’s orbit. One thing leads to another and next thing they know, they realize they truly can’t be together.
I love that Teagan keeps this story realistic. Hutch and Auden have alot of chemistry and just can’t seem to walk away from that. I love how things develop organically and while I didn’t care of how Hutch handled things, in the end, he won me over.
A great start to a new hockey series from Teagan. I am excited to meet the rest of this team.
Meet Teagan
TEAGAN HUNTER writes steamy romantic comedies with lots of sarcasm and a side of heart. She loves pizza, hockey, and romance novels, though not in that order. When not writing, you can find her watching entirely too many hours of Supernatural, One Tree Hill, or New Girl. She’s mildly obsessed with Halloween and prefers cooler weather. She married her high school sweetheart, and they currently live in the PNW.
From small-town romance author, Brooke Montgomery, comes a family saga series based in the fictional town of Sugarland Creek set in the Mountains of East Tennessee. Readers who love steamy romances will enjoy Here With Me: a forbidden age-gap romance.
A forbidden age gap stand-alone from small-town romance author Brooke Montgomery about a daring horse trainer and her off-limits ex-boyfriend’s dad…
Whenwe met at the rodeo, I only knew his first name.
Sparks ignited between us, and we spent an unforgettable night together. It’s not until the morning after when I recognize his last name do I realize who he is.
So I do what any rational woman would and make the walk of shame while he sleeps. It’s not like I’ll ever see him again or have to explain why I left.
But I’m proven wrong when he shows up at my family’s ranch as the new farrier.
We can’t be more than friends—for many reasons.
He’s twice my age, workplace relationships are off-limits, and he moved back to rebuild a relationship with his son—the one I used to date.
Getting involved would ruin everything.
As we struggle between right and wrong, our connection deepens even though his traumatic past makes him doubt he deserves a second chance.
But it doesn’t matter when everything’s against us, including a rival who’s out to get me and my ex who’s determined to win me back.
After a riding trick goes wrong on his watch, he insists on taking care of me. Even though the odds are stacked against us, we keep the truth to ourselves.
But secrets don’t stay hidden for long in a Southern small town.
Here With Me is book 1 in the Sugarland Creek series. Contains 20+ year age gap, ex-boyfriend’s dad, workplace romance, opposites attract, and secret relationship vibes. Each book in this Southern, small-town series is a stand-alone and ends in a happily ever after. Please read the content warning before the prologue.
After Fisher took off my dress, I flung my bra somewhere. I’m not about to leave without it since it’s the only one I packed. I don’t need my piercings blinding my family.
As I lower to my hands and knees, crawling around with my ass straight up, I find it underneath his jeans.
Thank God.
Next, I dig in my bag for my panties.
It’s one thing to make the walk of shame at seven in the morning, but it’s shameful to do it commando.
And I am a classy Southern lady, after all.
With the exception of last night.
Once I’m dressed and slide on my boots, I grab the rest of my things. Fisher hasn’t stirred once since I climbed over his naked body and slid out of his bed. I’m half tempted to check his neck for a pulse.
That’d be my luck.
Best sex of my life leads to him dying afterward.
I know he’s older, but he’s not that old.
When I see his wallet on the counter, I contemplate taking a peek at his license to see his birth year. Amid our grinding against each other make-out session, I asked if he had a condom, and he told me to grab one from his wallet, which was in the back pocket of his jeans. Once I grabbed it, I tossed the leather aside.
Glancing once more at Fisher to make sure he’s still in a sleep coma, I open his wallet and look at his ID.
He’s forty-four.
Exactly twice my age.
Okay, so it’s not that bad.
He doesn’t even look forty.
It could be worse. He could be fifty.
But then I blink, reread his full name, and it does. It gets so much worse.
Fisher Underwood.
It can’t be. My throat tightens as I choke down the surprise I never expected.
I need to get the hell out of here before he wakes up.
God, I hope this is a hangover dream.
More like a nightmare.
All the air gets sucked out of my lungs at the realization.
A perfect start to this new series from Brooke Montgomery (formerly Brooke Cumberland).
This is Brooke’s first book since ending her partner writing as Kennedy Fox and I love reading her as single author again. This is where she shines the most and I can tell how much her writing has grown over the years.
Here With Me is s story of forbidden love and Brooke gives this story so much life. And I will say first and foremost, Daddy Fisher is mine. Back off. 😉
Noah is a horse trainer and one of the youngest in her field. She has had to prove herself to everyone around her and dedicated her life to what she does and she’s damn phenomenal at all.
Fisher is restarting his life again after a tragic death in his family caused him to walk on the dark side. He wants to be back in his son’s life and prove that he is worthy of being his father again.
Noah and Fisher have a perfect one night stand and never anticipate seeing one another again. However, life just wants to keep throwing curveballs at these two.
Not only did I fall in love with these two characters, but I fell in love with Noah’s entire family and this country setting. Brooke made this little ranch come to life and it’s impossible to not find yourself feeling some sort of way about each of these family members.
Noah is wise beyond her years and I am sure that has to do with dealing with her brothers but also proving to everyone that she’s not “just some girl having fun”. I love that Brooke keeps these characters true to who they are and never strays from their personalities just to create unnecessary drama. I want to say so much, but don’t want to give anything away. Just know that Brooke delivers and carries out an astounding forbidden romance.
I love how well developed this book is and Brooke blends it all together without taking away from the main story. Brooke builds this series up perfectly by explaining the dynamics of each character and gives you a tiny glimpse of what is to come.
Loved this book and cannot wait to continue on with this series.

From internationally bestselling author K.A. Tucker comes the third novel in her Fate and Flame series, an adult fantasy story that should be read in series order.
Tucker definitely picks things back up with book 3, A Queen of Thieves and Chaos.
While book two was a bit of letdown for me, Tucker definitely redeems herself with this installment and has me truly sitting on the edge of my seat.
Not only does alot go down in this book, there are alot more POV’s – six to be exact. And while that sounds like it might be confusing, Tucker blends them all seamlessly and they just add more layers to this fantastic series.
I am loving that this is truly staying true to the fantasy side of things with the romance playing a second role. It just makes this series all the more appealing and intriguing.
A Queen of Thieves and Chaos is the perfect third book to keep readers engrossed in this series and begging to know what happens next after that ending.
K.A. Tucker writes captivating stories with an edge.
She is the internationally bestselling author of the Ten Tiny Breaths and Burying Water series, He Will Be My Ruin, Until It Fades, Keep Her Safe, The Simple Wild, Be the Girl, and Say You Still Love Me.

K.A. Tucker currently resides in a quaint town outside of Toronto.
From Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author M. Robinson comes an enemies to lovers, surprise baby, standalone romance.
She’s my best friend’s twin sister and off-limits. We grew up together, but she wanted to escape the small-town life and was headed to New York City to chase her dreams.
The night before she leaves, I find her waiting for me in my bed. Telling me to give her something to come home to.
I can’t.
Instead, I kicked her out of my life, instantly making us enemies.
Ten years later, we run into each other while I’m in NYC on business for my ranch, and that night changes everything between us. Not just because I’m determined to right my wrongs, but because she just showed up on my front door three months later…
Is there a sub-genre that Monica does not write well in??
Sinful Enemy is the third book in the Beckham Dynasty and she definitely knows how to write a compelling cowboy romance.
I knew I was going to love Hazel from the get-go. After getting her heart crushed by Ledger before she set off for college, she finds herself in the perfect position to exact her revenge on him. And I love her every bit for doing what she did.
But now they both find themselves in a position they never anticipated. And damn does it get entertaining!!
Monica delivers the an entertaining read with lots of spice and right touch of angst between these two. I read this book in one day; I could not stop turning the pages, even I wanted to (which I didn’t).
A great addition this series. Each book in the series can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend reading them in order. However, this one would be the perfect jump in too into this series. It’ll just prompt you to go back and read the others.

I did not read this book when it was originally released back in 2014 so I jumped at the chance to read it this go around.
Mia/Paige has definitely lived a horrific and unthinkable life since the age of 8. It has definitely hardened her and shaped her into the fierce 19-year-old she is today.
Hoping to make a new life, she stops in a town in hopes of just earning enough money to continue on her journey to her next destination. What she had not anticipated was finding people who would welcome and accept her as she is.
Monica wrote a gripping dark romance that will have readers begging for the next installment (thank goodness we don’t have long to wait). The pacing of this story was perfect as it allowed for everything to play out naturally and nothing felt forced to happen just to create more drama.
I loved everything about this book. The characters are unique – some you will love, some you will hate, but these characters will bring out strong feelings and that’s the whole point.
I loved the layers this story has and cannot wait to see what happens next.

BLURB
My love life has been epic.
Epically disastrous.
But that’s all in the past. I put my unrequited crush on Zach, my best friend’s grumpy brother, behind me years ago. My ex-fiancé, the jerk who left me at the altar, is also in my emotional rearview. Now, I’m focusing on my career. I don’t have time for romance.
Then my ex shows up and everything changes.
Zach comes to my defense in a big way, pretending to be my boyfriend. Then he suggests we keep up our mutually beneficial fake relationship for a few more months.
And it’s not long before I realize my crush on Zach might not be as over as I’d hoped.
It might not be as unrequited as I’d thought, either.
But as much as I’d love to trust him, to give him a second chance, I’m not sure I can. I gave him my heart once and he broke it.
This time, I’m afraid trust might be a luxury I can’t afford.
Broody Nerd, part of Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward’s Cocky Hero world, is a light-hearted, contemporary romance standalone featuring plenty of mutual pining, a strong, curvy heroine, and a slightly nerdy, growly hero. Happily ever after guaranteed…along with a slow-burn romance.
Welcome back Autumn Grey!! Oh, how I have missed your writing and your stories.
Broody Nerd is exactly what you get in this book.
Zach is Chloe’s best friend older brother. And also the first guy to break her heart. But he’s also been there to support her through other difficult times.
Broody Nerd is a slow burn, best friend’s brother romance and I am here for it.
I thoroughly enjoyed how this story played out. It was very real and authentic and just made me love them both so much.
The only reason this isn’t 5 stars is I wanted more of them after everything happened. Plus there’s one particular part of Chloe’s job that was very important to her & once she achieved that (read to find out), it was sort of took a backseat. I felt it should’ve stayed revelant through the end.
Overall, I loved this book and I’m excited to read more from her.
Autumn enjoys writing angsty romance, featuring flawed and quirky characters and hard-won happy ever afters. When she’s not working as a nurse assistant, you’ll find her behind keyboard writing stories, or curled up on the couch with a book. Her work has been featured in USA Today’s Happy Ever After.
She lives with her two children and one fur baby, enjoys good wine and binge-watching TV shows whenever she can.
