Release Day Blitz & Review…North Country by K.A. Tucker

North Country by K.A. Tucker is now live!

From USA Today and international bestselling author of The Simple Wild comes a sweeping second-chance, forbidden romance set against the rugged beauty of northern Ontario.


Emery McAllister once dreamed of leaving Cold River with the boy next door, but one devastating night destroyed their future and left her heart carefully guarded. Twenty years later, she’s built a life of control: running the town’s police detachment, raising her daughter, and keeping a fragile peace with her ex-husband, the mayor.
She’s certain she has moved on until the day she has dreaded—and secretly hoped for—finally arrives.
Logan Landry is home.

After two decades behind bars for being in the wrong place at the wrong time—and the choices that haunted him ever since—Logan returns to his family’s bison ranch carrying the weight of everything he lost, but especially Emery. Friendship is all he dares hope for now, but seeing her ignites a fire he thought long extinguished.
When a teenage girl disappears and old wounds reopen, Logan becomes Cold River’s favorite suspect, despite his airtight alibi. As distrust closes in, Emery must choose between the life she’s built … and the love she can’t let go.

I love a good second-chance romance, especially a forbidden second chance! Add in some mystery, and well, this book is right up my alley.

KA starts this book off with a bang and pretty much does not hold back as the story moves along. I love that this story is told in dual POVs, as it helps readers get a better understanding of both the FMC and MMC.

I am purposely being obtuse about what happens, as the blurb gives you just enough to know what to expect going in. There’s some mystery, lots of chemistry and angst, then add in the found family, and you’ve got quite the entertaining story.

I may have figured things out earlier than most, but I still enjoyed the story and vibes of it.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Forged in the Fire by A. L. Jackson

Forged in the Fire by A.L. Jackson is now live!

It was a terrible idea to agree to protect my enemy’s sister…


The second she stepped out of her brother’s car, I knew she was a wildfire.
Spitting mad and so stunning she stole my breath.
She thinks her brother made a deal with the devil, and by working for me, she’s paying off his debt.

She doesn’t know the real reason she’s here.
Doesn’t know the danger that surrounds her.
Soon, she realizes there is something sinister lurking in the shadows.

She hates me for keeping her in the dark.
I want to hate her back, but with every sassy thing that fires from her mouth, she gets deeper under my skin.
With each heated glance, I feel myself losing control.
And when I crawl into bed with her, I combust.

I know better than thinking I can keep her. My life is nothing but secrets and peril.
But as outside threats begin to infiltrate, I’ll do anything to keep the oath I made to keep her safe.
Even expose her to the monster that I am…

OMG!! Amy starts her newest series off with a bang!!

The blurb is all you need going into this one. If it hooks you, this story absolutely will.

Amy really knows how to layer a romantic suspense with the perfect balance of tension, chemistry and lots of secrets and twists.

Add into that this blend of family and their bonds – this story has so many different layers to it. I love that this story is guided by not only the plot but the characters. Amy is able to write a very multi-faceted story line and it kept turning the pages.

Highly recommended read!! I cannot wait to see what else is in store for readers in the next book.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Intercepted by Aleatha Romig

INTERCEPTED

Aleatha Romig

Release Date: February 2

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

In The Coopers, family power meets forbidden passion, and one wrong move can cost you the team… or your heart. Perfect for fans of the ruthless tension of Succession and the dark, aching obsession of Wuthering Heights.
At thirty-six, Fin Graham is a legend, a veteran quarterback, dangerously handsome, and built to win. The field. The season. Me.
I never thought I’d see him again, not after he disappeared and shattered me without a word. But now he’s been traded onto my family’s team, the Lexington Coopers—my turf, my legacy, and the one place I swore he’d never touch.
No one knows our past.
No one knows how hard I loved him… or how deep the betrayal cut.
And if I have any sway with the team’s owner—my father—Fin’s contract will be the shortest in franchise history.
But the problem with old heartbreaks?
They remember how to start beating again.
Fin wants a second chance.
I want revenge… or maybe I just want him.
And the time clock is almost out.
With the future of the Lexington Coopers on the line, we have to decide if we’re working together or against one another.

From the bestselling author of Infidelity and Sin comes a scorching, high-stakes romantic suspense series set in the seductive, cutthroat world of the NFL. The Coopers is a four-book saga following one explosive couple. INTERCEPTED ends on a cliffhanger—an unforgettable Aleatha blindside.

Intercepted is a great start to this newest series from Aleatha.

This is a second-chance, sports romance and I am here for this.

First off, I can tell that Aleatha took time to learn not only about the game of football, but owning a team and running it. I absolutely loved all the nuisances added in about the actual sport and the ins and outs of how everything is done from top to bottom.

Second, this story has alot of depth to it with these characters and their story. This particular book is about Maeve (Vee) and Fin but we get to meet all of Maeve’s family (not just immediate either) and how everyone is connected.

Third, the pacing of this story is perfection. I love that it’s not only told from both Vee and Fin’s POVs but it also jumps back to the past, so we can how well these two connected in the past, where things went off-rails, to the present and where they go from here.

Aleatha delivers a very emotionally-charged story with strong characters that you will love. The secondary characters play a pivotal role in the overall plot and but they do not overwhelm things.

I love how everything just blends so well – from the sports aspect, the family dynamics, to the romance – it all just flows perfectly and keeps you engaged in the story the entire time.

As for the ending – I was not expecting that at all. In true Aleatha fashion, she leaves me speechless and wanting the next book NOW!

A definite MUST READ!!

Release Day Blitz…Brooke’s Bliss by Lexi Blake

Brooke’s Bliss by Lexi Blake is now live!

Brooke Harper thought she would make it big in New York City, but she knew her heart would always be back in her hometown of Bliss, Colorado. She’d intended to come home as the big-shot fashion designer she’d always wanted to be, but her dream job turned into a nightmare, and now she’s crawling home to lick her wounds. When she meets up with two hot cowboys one night at Hell on Wheels, she decides they’re just what she needs to get her groove back.

Bailey Kent hasn’t stopped thinking about Brooke since he met her years before when he first visited Bliss. She’s his dream woman, and now she’s within reach. She responds so beautifully not only to him, but to his brother. They’ve shared women all their lives, but both know Brooke is the one. There’s only one problem. She’s his muse, but she sees him as a way station, not the destination on this journey she’s taking.

Only one problem? Shane Kent knows his brother sometimes doesn’t see the bigger picture. Bay’s head and heart are wrapped up in his art, and it’s Shane’s job to remember the reality of whatever situation they’re in, and this time it’s big trouble. Their last job took them to a ranch that might have been selling more than cattle. Shane witnessed something criminal and they ran, but their old crew is looking for them and he’s worried they’ll find Brooke, too. And then there’s the fact that they once hit on her sister-in-law and her brothers hate them…

It’ll take a miracle to bring these three together, so it’s a good thing Bliss is known for them.

Cover Reveal…That Girl by Jillian Dodd

Jillian Dodd has revealed the cover for That Girl!

Releasing November 25, 2025

She’s carrying more than a secret—she’s carrying his future.

After one unforgettable summer, Ainsley Archibald and Damon Diamond vowed to make their relationship work, despite the miles and the pressure. Damon’s chasing his dream as a college football star. Ainsley’s back home, finishing her final semester and carrying something that will change both their lives forever. 

She’s pregnant.

And he doesn’t know.

Determined not to derail his future, Ainsley plans to keep the baby a secret—at least for now. 

They talk every day. He sends updates from practice; she watches his games. And between long-distance phone calls and weekend visits, they’re falling harder than ever. Their love is real and strong. 

But as her belly grows, so do her fears. Damon will be an amazing dad—she knows that. But is he ready to be her partner?

The longer she waits, the heavier the secret—and the harder it is for her to pretend everything is fine.

Because love means sacrifice.
But it also means trust.
And some secrets are just too big to keep.

When the truth finally comes out, will it tear them apart—or will Damon fight to spend forever with the girl of his dreams?

For readers who love heart-tugging romance, long-distance love, and swoon-worthy heroes who fight for their forever.

Perfect for fans of Off-Campus, After, and That Boy.

Release Day Blitz…Rookie Season by Piper Rayne

Rookie Season by Piper Lawson is now live!

‘Tis the season… for deliciously bad decisions.


Last Christmas, I made a rookie mistake.
I had a one-night stand with the Denver Kodiaks’ new golden boy.

It was hot, reckless, and a play I’ll never make again.
At least, that’s what I tell myself.

Because forgetting isn’t so easy when I work at the team’s bar.
When I see him twice a week, grinning, flirting, acting like he doesn’t remember.

Now, everyone’s favorite rookie is hosting a team holiday getaway, and guess who’s stuck on the invite list?
Me. Their favorite bartender.

Cue:
-One secluded cabin
-One massive blizzard
-One too-gorgeous rookie determined to test my limits

I can handle it. I can keep my distance. I can survive a few festive nights in close quarters without slipping up…
Right?

ROOKIE SEASON
 is a steamy, snowed-in holiday romance set in the Denver Kodiaks world. Devour a new couple’s story, plus catch up with all your fave characters! This novella is packed with snowy shenanigans, forced proximity, and enough heat to melt every mountain in Colorado.

Love You, Mean It by Laura Pavlov is now live!

From USA Today bestselling author Laura Pavlov comes a story about found family and the power of acceptance, all wrapped up in a sizzling romance set in the frozen north.

My new landlord’s a real hard-ass. And I can’t keep my hands off him.

Charlie Huxley’s the best—and grumpiest—general contractor in Blushing, Alaska. He built the venue for the wedding-planning business my bestie and I share. After I accidentally flood my home, he offers me his guesthouse while he handles the repairs. But when he starts to take charge, I feel myself losing control.

Unable to resist, we casually hook up. We both know once will never be enough.

Between us, we carry plenty of baggage. I’ve got the absent father, drunk mother, and estranged sister. He grew up in foster care and is single-handedly raising a daughter whose mom visits just once a year.

But Charlie makes me feel like I belong. And for the first time ever, I picture myself with a real family.

Before I go all in, I need to learn to set some boundaries. Question is: Am I strong enough?

Release Day Blitz…Take This Heart by Willow Aster

Take This Heart by Willow Aster is now live!

After an annoying, albeit sexy, encounter with Milo Lombardi, he’s the last person I want to see in Windy Harbor, Minnesota. Being in my favorite small town near Lake Superior with my family is my idea of heaven, and after clashing with Milo at an art event, and then kissing his face off right after – I’d be fine if I never saw the man again.

Even though he is sinfully gorgeous, and knows how to use those unforgettable lips.

But my dad has other ideas, and because he’s been dealt a blow that threatens to turn our family’s world upside down, I want to do what’s best and keep the peace.

Which means, I’m stuck working on a project with Milo, all day, every day.

And if I thought we didn’t get along in the beginning, it’s nothing compared to dealing with him on a daily basis. He has a unique way of bringing out the worst in me, while showcasing his annoying smirk in the process.

If only I could forget how his mouth felt on mine, and the way his strong arms felt wrapped around me.

Take this Heart is book one in the brand new, interconnected standalone Windy Harbor series.

Release Day Blitz…When You Blush by Kristen Proby

When You Blush by Kristen Proby is now live!

From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes When You Blush, a small-town, forced-proximity romance set in Bitterroot Valley!


Blake


I don’t do relationships, but I’m excellent at casual hookups. That’s not to say I’m a jerk. Not at all. I respect women—all women—and I know the value of love. But I’m married to my job as a physician. In fact, I’m married to the hospital, having a full-time affair with the clinic, and my family is my side piece. I don’t have time for a relationship with a woman.

But then the most beautiful human I’ve ever laid eyes on walks onto my plane, and my world tilts. Thanks to a Montana snowstorm, I spend one incredible night with Harper, but wake up alone. She never told me her last name. She’s just … gone. It would figure that the one woman I could see myself breaking my own rules for is the one I can’t have.

Harper


It’s time for me to come home to Montana to help take care of my dad and pick up the slack for my siblings. I’ve been gone for a long time, but this beautiful corner of the world is my home. I’m excited to start my job as a NICU nurse at Bitterroot Valley General and begin a new chapter in my life. A fresh start. A clean slate.

Then he walks into the room, and it’s suddenly hard to breathe. Blake was the one-night stand who still haunts my dreams. The man can do things. Amazing things. But I never thought I’d see him again. Okay, that’s a lie. I knew he worked at this hospital, but he’s an ER doctor. I’m in a different department, so I planned to avoid him. Yet that didn’t last more than the first hour of my first shift.

Now, he’s pursuing me and saying things like forever. But with a past like mine, can I trust that he won’t tire of me and leave? Or is this finally my happily ever after?

Release Day Blitz…Crazy In Love by Laura Pavlov

Crazy in Love by Laura Pavlov is now live!

A Small Town, Billionaire, Enemies to Lovers, Grumpy/Sunshine, Standalone Romance from USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestselling Author, Laura Pavlov.


Emilia Taylor hates me, which is absolutely fine by me, because I don’t particularly care much for her either.
Maybe I took things too far, but I decided she was the enemy a long time ago, and she gave me no reason to think differently.
At least not until recently.
And when she sets her mind to prove me wrong, she goes all in.
I’m willing to admit when I’m wrong—because it sure as hell doesn’t happen very often.
But being vulnerable with a woman who I was convinced was out for my family was a big pill to swallow.
So, I’d rather send her a fancy gift and call this vendetta done.
However, she is anything but predictable.
She doesn’t want a fancy gift from a man who she’s declared a broody, heartless billionaire.
Her words not mine.
And it’s not like you can send flowers to a woman who owns a floral shop.
She wants a sincere apology instead but that may be more than I can give.
She’s sunshine and rainbows, and I’m… well not.
But when the first tear rolls down her cheek, I swear something inside me cracks.
Turns out, my cold jaded heart still works.
Apparently, it beats for the one woman I never saw coming.

**This is book 4 in the Rosewood River Series. Each one can be read as a complete standalone. A HEA is guaranteed!**
