Cover Reveal…Bend the Pucking Rules by Rachel Leigh

by Courtney

Rachel Leigh has revealed the covers for Bend The Pucking Rules!

Releasing: July 18, 2025

Bend The Pucking Rules is the second book in the sexy and suspenseful Ice Lords Series. A why-choose, dark college hockey romance.

I know too much and now, I’m paying the price.

One secret shattered my world.

Three boys wrecked my life.

And one of them just might own my heart—if only he could remember.

As Callan fights to piece together the memories we shared and the time we lost, I’m caught in the crossfire of rival teams, bitter betrayals, and players who would love nothing more than to watch me fall.

Someone is out there.

Whispering. Watching. Waiting.

And if I want to survive, I’ll have to trust the very people who broke me.

Aidric. Sebastian.

Maybe even Callan.

Sebastian says he hates me.

But hate doesn’t burn this hot.

I see it in his eyes. I feel it every time he looks at me.

I’m just not sure if his fire is meant to save me, or burn me.

When Callan finally remembers, will it be enough to put us back together?

Or will the bond I’m building with his best friend tear us all apart?

They say you can’t have the best of both worlds.

But I’m beginning to realize, the three of us were never meant to live by the rules.

Release Day Blitz…A Royal Mile by Samantha Young

by Courtney

A Royal Mile by Samantha Young is now live!

Going into my senior year of university at war with a member of the British royal family wasn’t in my carefully laid plans. Sebastian Thorne might be the grandson of a princess, but it’ll take more than a royal pardon to get me to forgive him for pretending to be someone he’s not.

But Sebastian is determined to be my friend. Even if it means signing up to a psych experiment just to get me to talk to him. Who knew a sincere apology and him saying my name in that posh English accent would make me weak in the knees?

This year was supposed to be about my dissertation and graduate school. Only, Sebastian has thrown my ordered world off kilter. He makes me bolder, more confident. A braver version of me.

Yet every lingering glance and stolen touch has me realizing one thing…

I’m falling for my best friend.

There’s just one problem. Sebastian has demons, ones that make him determined to keep me in the friend zone no matter the cost.

And even when temptation sends his walls tumbling down, the beauty we’ve found might not survive against the will of powerful outside forces…

Release Day Blitz…At the Edge of Surrender by A.L. Jackson

by Courtney

At the Edge of Surrender by A.L. Jackson is now live!

A surprise single dad, small town romantic suspense…

I’m the last guy on the planet who should be a dad. My life is chaos. My sins written dark and deep.

So, imagine my surprise when my doorbell rings and I open it to find the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen standing on the other side.

And she’s holding the hand of a little girl who looks just like me.

Emery tells me her sister, the child’s mother, is dead.

I feel like dirt since she’s a woman I can hardly remember, and it’s no wonder Emery doesn’t trust that I’m worthy of caring for her niece.

But I can’t turn my back, and I insist on raising Maci.

So, we strike a deal—she’ll stay with me for one month to ensure the little girl is safe.

Emery tries to hate me for who I am, but neither of us can resist the attraction that blazes between us.

One brush of her hand, and she has me on my knees.

One kiss, and I’m falling fast.

Soon, we find ourselves tangled in my sheets.

But when it’s discovered her sister’s death wasn’t accidental, the secret life I’ve been living collides with the past Emery has tried to keep hidden.

And when the fiends come back to finish the job they started, I’m in a race against time to save the two people who I’ve come to love most…

Cover Reveal…Unbroken by Jane Henry

by Courtney

Jane Henry has revealed the cover for Unbroken!

Releasing: July 11, 2025

Cover Designer: The Book Brander Boutique

Photographer: Wander Aguiar

Model: Lucas Loyola

A dark single dad, forbidden, Bratva romance from USA Today Bestselling author Jane Henry

Vadka Dragunov—Bratva executioner, cold-blooded strategist… and my dead sister’s husband.

The man who built his empire in blood and protected it with silence. The man with a stare that holds me hostage—and a voice that cuts straight through me. I’ve avoided him, and the way he makes me feel, as I’ve wallowed in my own grief following my sister’s death.

But now there’s no escape. I’m living in his world. I’ve been targeted. The Irish want war. And the only safe place left is under his watch… or under him.

He’s a single father now—haunted, vengeful, and dangerous. A man who reads bedtime stories with the same blood thirsty eyes that promise death and retribution. The man who would raze the world to keep his son safe.

He thinks I’m reckless, chaotic, unpredictable. I was only a child when we first met. But he doesn’t see me as one anymore.

I see what he hides beneath all that control—the obsession simmering just below the surface. The way he watches me like he wants to equally destroy and devour me.

And now the same loss that tore us apart is now pulling us together.

I wasn’t supposed to end up in his bed.

But the Bratva is splintering. The Irish want blood.

And I’m spiraling – holding a secret that could end it all while falling for the man I can’t have.

Is there a future for Vadka and me, or will the secrets between us cause another tragedy?

Release Day Blitz & Review…That Crush by Jillian Dodd

by Courtney

That Crush by Jillian Dodd is now live!

She’s scared to fall in love again. He’s determined to be the one she falls for.

When Damon Diamond first laid eyes on Ainsley Archibald at fifteen, he knew it was more than just a crush. But with their four-year age gap and her indifference, he had to keep his feelings at bay.

Three years later, everything has changed. Damon’s no longer the boy she barely noticed–he’s grown into a confident, irresistible man with one goal for the summer: to make Ainsley his.

Ainsley arrives at her uncle’s resort in the Ozarks, eager to get back out there after a bad breakup. But the moment she lays eyes on Damon, everything shifts. He’s hot, heading to college, and the chemistry between them is undeniable.

What starts as harmless flirting, quickly spirals into feelings that neither of them can ignore.

Torn between her desire for him and the complications of their age difference, Ainsley must decide if she’s ready to risk everything for a summer of love.

Because Damon isn’t just after a fling–he wants her heart.

That Crush is the 9th book in the That Boy series, but can easily be read as a standalone. In all honesty, Jillian could’ve done this as spin-off series and released it that way.

That Crush is an age-gap, he falls first romance. If you have ever read anything by Jillian before, you know she always deliver a phenomenal romance story and this is no different.

This entire book takes place over the span of a week, but it also doesn’t feel that way. This is the second book recently where the actual time frame is short, but the story itself makes you forget that. What I was not expecting though – that ending.

I now not-so-patiently wait for the next book (or two) for Ainsley and Damon’s story to continue.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Hollow by Alta Hensley

by Courtney

You don’t choose the Hunt. The Hunt chooses you.

Hollow by Alta Hensley is now live!

No body, no crime.

That’s what they say on Heathens Hollow, where the line between desire and obsession blurs with each tide.

I return to my family’s isolated island estate to recover, to heal. To escape the prison my life has become.

The maze calls to me with its twisting pathways and secrets buried beneath the soil.

And so do they.

Two men, tangled in a storm of their own making.

Damiano, the groundskeeper who knows every hidden path through the maze.

Flint, the bartender whose eyes hold truths about the island I’m not ready to face.

Former lovers. Current enemies. Both now inexplicably tied to me.

As The Hunt approaches, Heathens Hollow’s most dangerous ritual begins.

Masked pursuers. Willing prey. Ancient traditions that care nothing for outsiders.

Some things should stay buried in Heathens Hollow.

But on this island, secrets always find their way to the surface.

Hollow is book three in the interconnected standalone series, Heathens Hollow from USA Today bestselling author, Alta Hensley.

Check out the series here!

https://mybook.to/HeathensHollow

Bravo, Alta!! I absolutely enjoyed this!!

I did not (very sadly) read the first two book in this series but it did not at all damper by enjoyment of this book. I definitely have this burning need to go back and read them though.

Briar has returned home and while she’s trying to get out of her current “lifestyle”, she decides to host a party at her family’s estate. Along the way, she connects with Damiano and Flint and so begins the story.

It was really entertaining to see the push and pull between Damiano and Flint. And then add Briar into that mix – perfection. For me personally, this was the only area that I wanted more. Alta gives readers what we need, but I just felt like we could’ve had more. But I also understand why we didn’t as it wouldn’t have fit the overall vibe of the story. It’s also why it didn’t hurt the story for me in anyway, I am just being selfish in wanting more from these three in that MMF aspect. LOL

Alta’s writing style makes you feel like you are right in the thick of things with these characters. The pacing was perfect and everything flowed naturally from the romance aspect to the haunting parts. I loved everything about this book.

Meet Alta

Alta Hensley is a USA Today bestselling author of dark romance where the villain always gets the happily ever after.

Twisted, clever, and occasionally unhinged, her books deliver morally gray anti-heroes, sharp-tongued heroines, and happily ever afters that taste even sweeter after a little ruin. With a signature blend of grit, wit, and heat, Alta’s stories prove one thing: villains deserve love too.

Alta lives on the foggy coast of Oregon with her husband, two daughters, and a pair of dogs who think they’re in charge. When she’s not writing redemption for the irredeemable, she’s walking the coastline or sipping craft beer in foggy little bars that feel like they belong in her books.

LITTLE NIGHTMARE

Rachel Van Dyken

Release Date: June 5

Available in Kindle Unlimited

Not all monsters hide under the bed. Some guard your heart while plotting your ruin.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken comes a gripping standalone mafia romance set in the electrifying world of the Eagle Elite series.

Welcome to your final dream.

Don’t worry. I’ll keep you safe.

I promise. Just close your eyes.

Sleep.

Grief has five stages, they say. But in the mafia, there’s only one: survival.

The day I buried my boyfriend, the Families replaced him with the man who rejected me four years ago—Ace “Matchstick” De Lange. Cold. Calculated. Deadly. He has the bedside manner of a serial killer and the looks of a fallen angel. And now, he’s my shadow, ensuring I don’t end up in the grave beside the man who died for me.

I despise that I’m the one left behind. I loathe how Ace provokes me, pulling me from the abyss of my sorrow. But most of all, I hate that the only piece I have left of my dead boyfriend is something others would kill to possess.

When Ace uncovers my secret, there’s only one solution: marriage to the devil himself to protect the legacy of the one who had no choice.

I vow never to love him. He promises he’ll never love me.

He’s a means to an end—the only one who can stand against my father and live to tell the tale.

He claims his life is mine, but I don’t want it.

I tell him I’ll never be his.

Ace’s response? A chilling, “We’ll see.”

But what happens when everything you believed was a lie? When the only one who can free you from your nightmare threatens to drag you deeper into the darkness?

Some families are tested and break under the weight of the mafia. The De Langes broke… then gathered the pieces and rose.

Grab Your Copy!

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DGY762SM

4.5 Stars

Diving into RVD’s mafia series is akin to coming home – a home filled with chaotic love and fiercely protected.

Little Nightmare is the second book in the Rise of the DeLanges series, a spin-off from her Eagle Elite series. You need zero prior knowledge to that series or her other spin-off, Mafia Royals, but you will have the need to read them after you finish this one.

Ace & Raven are from two different families within the mafia and had a previous run-in that left some bitter, unresolved issues. And now, Ace finds himself as Raven’s bodyguard. What could ever possibly go wrong!?

Rachel delivers a story that’s riddled with snarky interactions and two individuals dealing with their own struggles. Ace stole the limelight for me in this story though. His character arc was written so incredibly well, it became impossible for me to not feel everything he went through.

Little Nightmare is a fantastic second book in The Rise of De Langes series. While I felt the ending was a bit rushed, the majority of this book was perfection.

Previous readers of Rachel’s mafia books will know exactly what to expect in her books. New readers will get to experience her intense, darker side of writing and see why so many of us live by the quote, “Blood In, No Out.”

August Lancaster is a menace. His power at Lancaster Prep is legendary, and no one dares cross him. He’s a ruling senior, and everyone wants to be his friend, or at the very least stay in his good graces.

When he sets his sights on me my freshman year, he makes me wish I never existed. His constant, unwanted attention is humiliating. He makes me burn with both anger and desire. Even though I try to give as good as I get, it isn’t until he graduates that I can actually breathe.

Now I’m finally at college, and it’s everything I want it to be. New people, new experiences, new Sinclair. Until I discover that August attends the same university. When he starts flirting with me at a frat party, I realize he doesn’t even recognize me. At first, I’m humiliated all over again, but I quickly decide to make it my mission to remind August f’ing Lancaster exactly who I am.

I start running into him everywhere. Problem is, he can’t stop talking to me. Kissing me. Touching me. It’s like he’s obsessed with me, and soon enough…I’m worried I’m becoming obsessed with him, too.

But can I trust him? Does someone like August ever truly change? Or is he going to ruin me yet again?

You Were Never Not Mine – the final (maybe) book in the Lancaster Prep generation and Monica gives her readers a impactful story.

August and Sinclair’s story is quite the doozy. It’s told from both their POVs and has some flashbacks to their past when they had their first encounter.

Monica paces this story perfectly – it’s fast paced with a very engaging plot that is very character driven. I have to say that August made this book outstanding for me. You have to read it to find out why.

I have read this entire generation (the first Lancaster Prep series and this spin-off with their children) and I absolutely love it. I love Monica’s writing style as it matches perfectly with this world and the characters she has created.

You can easily read this book without having any previous knowledge of any other books, but do know that it will make you want to read the other books in this world.
