Release Day Blitz…Under an Endless Moon by A.L. Jackson

by Courtney

Under an Endless Moon by A.L. Jackson is now live!

I should have known I’d break the oath I made when I offered to let my best friend’s little sister move in with me…

She’s the sweetest woman on the face of the planet.

And to my great misfortune, the sexiest one, too.

She’s been living under her brother’s roof her entire life, and she’s ready to spread her wings.

And I’m the masochist who offers she stay at my place until she can find an apartment.

When I hear her having a nightmare, the only thing I can do is go to her. Hold her so she knows she’s safe from her demons.

The second she’s in my arms, the attraction I’ve tried to hide sparks to life. I know better than to push past the boundaries I’ve set for us, but when she begs me to touch her in a way she’s never been touched, I can’t resist.

And with my name on her lips as I send her soaring for the first time, I know there’s no going back.

I’m willing to break every rule and oath I’ve ever made to keep her.

Accept every consequence.

Only she and I have a dark, dangerous history that no one knows about.

And I’m afraid the consequences of loving her have just caught up to us…

Release Day Blitz & Review…My Dark Prince by Parker S. Huntington & L.J. Shen

by Courtney

Title: My Dark Prince

Series: Dark Prince Road #3

Authors: Parker S. Huntington & L.J. Shen

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Enemies to Lovers/Second Chance/Amnesia

Sleeping Beauty Retelling/Fake Relationship

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.

COMING SOON IN HARDCOVER

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.

Cover Reveal…Sweet Riot by Alta Hensley

by Courtney

Alta Hensley has revealed the gorgeous cover for Sweet Riot!

Releasing: March 25, 2025

Cover Design: Emily Wittig Designs

I thought we had conquered it all. I was wrong.

Just when victory seems within our grasp, the underground fighting world proves it has one last sucker punch to deliver.

The West Coast Circuit promises legitimacy, fame, and the chance to prove ourselves on the biggest stage. But nothing comes without a price. Dirty money. Corrupt sponsors. Threats that could destroy everything we’ve built.

Frankie still burns with the intensity of Freakshow, his protective instincts warring with his need to see us succeed.

Bones fights through pain and loss, his determination to make his father proud pushing him beyond his limits.

Lotto calculates every move, orchestrating our survival while dancing with devils who wear business suits.

And River… he brings something new. Something dangerous. Something that could either complete us or tear us apart.

They’re no longer just fighting for me – they’re fighting for us. For our family. For our future.

But Vegas is calling, and Sin City isn’t known for playing fair. To reach the top, we’ll have to risk it all.

And this time, I’m not sure if even their obsession will be enough to save us.

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.

Irreversible by Jennifer Hartmann and Chelley St Clair is now live!

𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒔𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒌𝒆𝒑𝒕 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒉𝒊𝒅𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒔.

𝑩𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝑰’𝒎 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎.

I spend my days locked in a black-market nightmare, held captive by a twisted mastermind who considers me his prized possession. My only form of human contact are the victims in the next room, each of whom disappears faster than the last.

Everyone leaves…except me.

Then I hear him—Isaac. Brash, elusive, and haunted, he isn’t anyone’s idea of a hero. Separated by a wall, our faces hidden, his voice cuts through the darkness, becoming my only hope. He’s driven by vengeance, bearing scars as dark as my own. Despite his rough edges, a fragile bond forms between us—a lifeline.

Isaac might be my best chance of escape, but time is slipping away. Breaking free will mean outrunning both our pasts, and in this twisted game, the cost of freedom may be more than we can afford to pay.

Appearances deceive. Choices have consequences.

And some consequences?
They are irreversible.

I have literally stared at my computer for a few hours, trying to gather my thoughts on this.

All I have is – this book is a MUST READ. That’s all I keep thinking. So I am sure you are thinking, but why 4 stars and not 5 stars if it’s a MUST READ?

Well this book is marketed as a dark romance and while there are some romantic aspects to this story, I would be hesitant to call it a dark romance. Don’t get me wrong, I loved this story and the elements surrounding it, but I felt a bit letdown in the romance area.

Jennifer and Chelley deliver a suspenseful story that has some very dark elements that keeps readers engaged throughout the entirety of the story. This is what I loved most about this book – sitting at the edge of my seat, impatiently needing to know what happens next.

Overall, this is a great dark, suspenseful story. Just don’t expect too much in the romance area.

Meet Jennifer

Jennifer Hartmann resides in northern Illinois with her own personal romance hero and three children. When she is not writing angsty love stories, she is likely pondering all the ways she can break your heart and piece it back together again.

Release Day Blitz…Comeback by Rebecca Jenshak

by Courtney

Comeback by Rebecca Jenshak is now live!

My brother’s best friend is such a jerk.

An imposing, handsome jerk who doesn’t trust me. And now we’re roommates.

He wanders around the apartment in nothing but gray sweatpants, looking like a broody, tattooed muscle god, and playing music that shakes the walls. I want to hate him for treating me like an intruder, but there’s something about the way he looks at me—like he’s trying to figure me out—that keeps pulling me in.

Archer Holland is loyal, caring, and protective—with everyone except me.

Every time I move around our apartment, I can feel his glare. And the worst part? It only makes me want him more.

Not that it matters.

He’s my brother’s best friend—the one guy I can never have. But after a late-night rescue, we go from sharing a wall to sharing a bed.

I’m not sure what my brother would do if he found out, but it doesn’t matter because Archer says it can’t happen again.

That imposing, handsome jerk is about to find out I’m done playing by his rules.

Comeback is a football romance with lots of spice, swoon, and a happily ever after. It’s the third book in the Holland Brothers series and can be read as a standalone.

Cover Reveal…Loving The Reaper by Lola King

by Courtney

Lola King has revealed the cover for Loving The Reaper!

Releasing: April 4, 2025

He waited years for her to choose him. His patience has run out.

Welcome back to Silver Falls University. There is a murderer among us.

I’ve been best friends with Wren Hunter for sixteen years. The boy who chased me in our schoolyard, kissed my scraped knees, and always swore to protect me grew into the god of Silver Falls University: admired by his peers, desired by every woman on campus, and feared by anyone who gets in his way.

Wren knows me better than anyone. He sees through every wall I build. He can handle my fire and my stubbornness. Sometimes I believe he can even tame it. This is why I thought we would never cross the line between friendship and more, no matter how many times we teetered on the edge of it.

I was wrong.

The mask he wore around me is gone, and what’s underneath is dangerous, unrelenting, obsessive.

Wren doesn’t just want me—he decided I’m his.

And in his world, no one says no.

There’s a secret society behind him, powerful enough to cover up anything—or anyone—standing in their way. Now, I’m trapped in his game, bound to a man I don’t recognize, in a world where nothing is what it seems.

Bodies are piling up.

Trust is a luxury.

And Wren Hunter might be the one thing that destroys me.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Not Your Biggest Fan by Sara Ney

by Courtney

NOT YOUR BIGGEST FAN

Sara Ney

Release Date: January 28

Blurb:

USA Today bestselling author Sara Ney sizzles with a quick-witted, sexy romp about an eager entrepreneur and a cocky football star who couldn’t be more different—or more into each other.

Harlow James is destined to rock the dating world. The creator of Kissmet, the app helping singles find love, she’s in New York to secure advertisers. But the sassy, small-town girl can’t help meddling in other people’s business.

When she runs into a muscular stranger at her go-to food truck, Harlow doesn’t realize he’s Landon “Andy” Burke, the NFL’s most-wanted free agent, in town to talk contracts. She just sees a hottie about to get burned by undercooked street food. Though she tries to warn him, he shrugs her off, making a little wager instead.

In a messy twist of fate, Andy finds himself in the same hotel as Harlow. When she collects on their bet, they make a mind-blowing—and bed-rocking—connection. But after the weekend, she goes home to Green Bay to her goofy dad and corgi, ready to focus everything on work again. Kissmet, however, has other ideas, when Andy knocks on her door…

Buy Link:

https://books2read.com/NYBFSaraNeyKU

Available in KU

Not Your Biggest Fan was a very cute sports romance in Sara’s newest series, Not Yours.

I have always enjoyed Sara’s books as they are very light, hardly any drama or angst, lots of humor and characters that make you smile. And you get exactly that with this book.

The meet-cute between Harlow and Andy is very endearing and really sets the tone for this book. Harlow is quite the character and while she says she’s not like her father (Big Steve will be a fave of readers) she definitely exudes the same confidence and inner-strength he has. Andy was entertaining at times, but he really didn’t do much for me, but that didn’t deter me from enjoying the story.

As with most of Sara’s books, the story takes place over a short period of time and we get to see how these characters get to know one another and leaves their outcome open-ended (sometimes seen in other books of the series). I love that Sara’s books have this sort of ending for her characters because nothing is set in stone for them for the future and allows readers to create their own epilogue of sorts.

I am looking forward to more from this series and anxiously await to see who takes Dex down.

Reinaldo Roríguez

Emiliano Ruiz

Both are dangerous, deadly, and powerful. Both are second-generation soldiers proving themselves in the Roríguez cartel.

Both want me.

Of course, I wasn’t told until it was too late. That’s the way things work in the famiglia. My fate is up to Dario Luciano, my guardian.

He doesn’t care the way the men make me feel. How when I’m near them, the air crackles and my skin warms with stinging electricity, stirring something deep inside me that never before existed.

One fills me with desire, twisting my insides.

The other recognizes my need to be loved, filling me with a comfortable warmth.

By the time I learn that both have requested my hand, a deal has been brokered.

Neither man from the Roríguez cartel will have me.

I’ve been promised to another, the son of Dario’s sworn enemy.

Will I have any say in my future?

What will happen to the alliance between the Luciano famiglia and the Roríguez cartel when tragedy strikes?

This was quite the wild ride and I loved every minute of it.

These books need to be read in order because there is an underlying plotline happening throughout each book. Each book does focus on a particular set of characters, but they all play into the underlying plotline, which just adds to the overall story.

Aleatha really knows how to write these mafia stories that keep readers engaged the whole time and flipping pages quickly. Her storytelling just pulls you in and leaves you wanting more.

Queens and Monsters truly showcases how well Aleatha intertwines the mafia/cartel worlds and how they “cater” to one another, when it fits their goals. There is so much going on but it’s never confusing to the reader and it all blends so seamlessly.

The blurb gives you all need to know going into this. I won’t spoil anything by attempting to give you any rundown of what happens in this book or any small parts because I loved seeing things unfold without any knowledge of anything but the blurb beforehand.

I am loving this series and cannot wait to see what she brings us in the next book.
