Blurb:

Summer Jones only wants three things in life:

1. Keep her house plants alive.
2. Open a beautiful bed-and-breakfast.

3. Never see or speak to Beckett Valentine again.

None of those things are currently possible.

Summer Jones and Beckett Valentine are rivals and have never wanted the same things in life except for the newly for sale Horseshoe Creek Ranch. Summer thought her dreams of building a B&B would finally come true until her number one enemy decides he wants the land, too. Beckett plays dirty and refuses to give her what she wants—a common theme in their relationship—and the dream of acquiring the property turns into a living nightmare.

They might’ve been at each other’s throats since they were teens, but the stakes have never been so high. And right now, she’s more determined than ever to take down her best friend’s older brother—cowboy boots and all.

**Bless Your Heart is a small town, enemies to lovers, best friend’s older brother, contemporary southern romance with a guaranteed happily ever after. Each book in the Valentine Texas series is a stand-alone. Warning: this book contains tons of Southern sass, sarcasm, and lots of spice! Fade to black is not included.**

Release Day Blitz…Chapel Bend by Kristen Proby

Chapel Bend by Kristen Proby is now live!

From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes Chapel Bend, an enemies to lovers, small town romance in her beloved series, Huckleberry Bay!

There’s a fine line between love and hate.

In Huckleberry Bay, Oregon, everyone knows that when it comes to Juniper “June” Snow – what you see is what you get. When you hire her construction company to do a job, it’s done right, on time, and on budget. When she’s your friend, she’s a ride-or-die who will support you no matter what. And when you’re her enemy…well, she can hold a grudge.

And she’s never forgotten how the tall, dark, and delicious Apollo Winchester hurt her so many years ago.

In a small town, it’s impossible to ignore someone who greets you with a death glare every time you meet. Apollo can’t recall why June hates him, but it doesn’t stop him from stirring her up every chance he gets. There’s something about her stubborn, “don’t mess with me” attitude that keeps him coming back for more. But June is his sister’s best friend and permanently on the “off-limits” list.

June puts aside her war with Apollo and hires him to work on her most important project, the renovation of a chapel into her dream home. She wants the best…and Apollo is the best . . . on the job site and in her bed. He won’t turn down the chance to spend more time with June, especially when it’s clear that she wants him as much as she hates him. Proximity leads to opportunity, and opportunity leads to steamy times between the sheets.

But a mystery threatens June and Apollo will protect her and their growing connection, no matter the cost.

Cover Reveal…Favorite Mistake by Jessica Prince

Title: Favorite Mistake
Author: Jessica Prince
Series: Redemption
Release Date: June 12

Contemporary Romance, Small Town Romance

He was the town’s golden boy, their all-American hero. But there was a side of him he’d only shown her.

When Lyric Jackson stopped for gas in Redemption, Tennessee, she wasn’t sure what to think of the small town nestled in the middle of the Smoky Mountains. Then she got one look at Holton Clarke, saw that charming smile, and fell instantly. One night with the man in uniform sparked an ember of hope, but things didn’t quite end how she’d expected.

All Holton Clarke ever wanted to do was protect the people he cares about. He thought he’d be able to do that better as a deputy for his hometown, but one call turned his whole world and everything he thought he knew upside down. Including what he’d hoped for his future with a certain sassy librarian.

But when danger from Lyric’s past comes calling, Holton has to put his fears and insecurities to the side in order to save the woman who has gotten under his skin, but she refuses to make it easy, or give him a second chance. Now she’s under his roof, sharing his bed, and throwing him attitude and dirty looks every chance she gets.

She might claim that nothing is ever going to happen between them, but that one night they’d shared was his favorite mistake ever, and he has every intention of repeating it for the rest of his life.

**The Redemption series is a series of interconnected, standalone, small town romances.**

Born and raised around Houston Texas, Jessica spent most of her life complaining about the heat, humidity, and all around pain in the ass weather. It was only as an adult that she quickly realized the cost of living in Houston made up for not being able to breathe when she stepped outside. That’s why God created central air, after all.

Jessica is the mother of a perfect little boy–she refuses to accept that he inherited her attitude and sarcastic nature no matter what her husband says.

In addition to being a wife and mom, she’s also a wino, a coffee addict, and an avid lover of all types of books–romances still being her all time favs. Her husband likes to claim that reading is her obsession but she just says it’s a passion…there’s a difference. Not that she’d expect a boy to understand.

Jessica has been writing since she was a little girl, but thankfully grew out of drawing her own pictures for her stories before ever publishing her first book. Because an artist she is not.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Coach by Devney Perry

Football star. Single dad. And once, a long time ago, mine.

Coach by Devney Perry is now live!

I’ve spent the better part of a decade forgetting Ford Ellis. If he had just stayed away from Montana, I might have erased the memory of his striking blue eyes and rugged smile forever. Avoiding him was easy when the only place I saw his face was on ESPN—and a remote control could fix that problem.

Except my boss just hired Ford as the new head coach for the Treasure State Wildcats. Not only will I be stuck watching him on the sidelines this season, but avoiding him will be impossible now that we’re working together.

Maybe I haven’t forgotten Ford. Maybe I still dream about what we might have been. Maybe he hasn’t forgotten me either.

Except those maybes won’t change the fact that we were never meant to be. Maybe he was mine once. But as of today, the only thing I’ll be calling Ford Ellis is Coach.

Coach is Devney’s newest release and the first book in her Treasure State Wildcats series.

All you need to know about this book is in the blurb. It covers quite a few tropes underneath the sports romance genre. Single dad in a small-town, second-chance romance with some celebrity fanfare added in and you have Coach.

Ford and Millie’s were best friends in college. And just when they tried to take things further, Ford ghosted her.

Ford is moving back to his college roots and becoming the head football coach. However, he doesn’t know that Millie is the assistant AD (Athletic Director) and in a round-about way, his boss.

Ford is a determined individual who stops at nothing to get what he wants. I loved his tenacity yet also understood Millie’s apprehension. He took all of her feelings into consideration but still never gave up.

Millie is devoted to her job, she loves what she does. It’s what she always wanted to do. Ford crushed her once before and she’s not ready to put her trust in him again. She also isn’t willing to lose her job for him. And I love that she stands her ground and lets him know where she stands.

I enjoyed how Devney written this story. It all flows beautifully and you can see chemistry between them so vividly. I absolutely loved Ford and Millie so much; they complimented one another in so many ways.

Coach is another phenomenal stand-alone romance from Devney and one that you need to read!

I learned at a young age to trust no one, protect myself, and guard my heart. All lessons my mother burned into me. She may not have had a lot to offer in way of help but she poured all she had into me and made me the independent woman I am today. So after laying her to rest, I packed my belongings and moved to the place that she talked about often. A place where she enjoyed the carefree pleasures of childhood.

Balsam Ridge, Tennessee is a little slice of paradise and nothing like the busy city that I’m accustomed to. With its idyllic setting, friendly strangers, and slower pace, a girl could easily be charmed into letting her walls down.

It was only going to be a stop on my journey. A respite while I figured out my next move, and catching feelings for the confident and sexy local Fire Chief, Corbin Tuttle, was not part of the plan.

It was supposed to be a game. A hoax. A brief fling to help him break a toxic cycle. But my mother always told me, that sometimes you need a little rain to calm the fire.

Small town, Family Saga, Fake Relationship.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Juniper Hill by Devney Perry

Juniper Hill by Devney Perry is now live!

Memphis Ward arrives in Quincy, Montana, on the fifth worst day of her life. She needs a shower. She needs a snack. She needs some sanity. Because moving across the country with her newborn baby is by far the craziest thing she’s ever done.
But maybe it takes a little crazy to build a good life. If putting the past behind her requires a thousand miles and a new town, she’ll do it if it means a better future for her son. Even if it requires setting aside the glamour of her former life. Even if it requires working as a housekeeper at The Eloise Inn and living in an apartment above a garage.
It’s there, on the fifth worst day of her life, that she meets the handsomest man she’s ever laid eyes on. Knox Eden is a beautiful, sinful dream, a chef and her temporary landlord. With his sharp, stubbled jaw and tattooed arms, he’s raw and rugged and everything she’s never had–and never will. Because after the first worst day of her life, Memphis learned a good life requires giving up on her dreams too. And a man like Knox Eden will only ever be a dream.

GAH!!! Devney has done it once again – given us readers another beautiful and emotional story that will stay deep in our bones for quite some time.

Juniper Hill is the next book in her The Edens series. Each book is a complete standalone that features one of the Eden children. We may only be on book two, but I am loving this family and this town so much. And Devney has knocked me over with Knox and his story.

Knox is the second oldest of the Eden children and when his brother Griffin worked on the farm with their dad, he stayed with his mom at the hotel and watched her cooked both their and in their own kitchen almost every day. It’s how he found himself going to culinary school and returning home when he hit a rough patch to take over the restaurant at the family’s hotel.

Memphis found herself moving to Montana when she needed and wanted a fresh start with her son. She knew it wasn’t going to be easy, but she also was not expecting the Eden family to be so welcoming. She’s living a completely different life than how she was raised but she’s appreciating all the new things she’s discovering. But even with the welcoming arms of the Eden family, walking away from her past isn’t so easy.

I get choked up just thinking about Knox and Memphis’ story. I actually messaged Devney shortly after finishing this book because I was just so overwhelmed by their story and I wanted her to know how much I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

Knox, he’s just WOW. I can’t explain him any other way. He will knock you off your feet. His passion for everything, it just renders me speechless. Memphis, this woman is so much stronger than she gives herself credit for. I could not do what she did, especially at her young age. We all have our self-doubts but this woman is a warrior in so many ways.

Juniper Hill is another heart-clenching and emotional read from start to finish. I love the added suspense that Devney mixes into this story to keep readers on their toes. It’s the perfect touch to this story and blends so beautifully. If you haven’t started this series yet, what are you waiting for?!?!

Release Day Blitz & Review….The Bribe by Willa Nash

The Bribe by Willa Nash is now live!

Duke Evans didn’t expect to interrupt a beautiful woman in a staring contest with a bison on his favorite hiking trail. He also didn’t expect to see her again after rescuing her from the surly beast. As the sheriff in Calamity, Montana, he’s had his fair share of surprises but none as pleasant as pulling over a shiny black car and finding his mysterious hiking companion behind the wheel.
Only, she lied to Duke. She gave him a name as fake as her hair color. According to her driver’s license, her real name is Lucy Ross, the famous country music singer whose sudden disappearance has been a hot topic in the media over the past two weeks.
He’s not sure why Lucy lied about her identity or why she’s in Calamity. And she’s not talking. Instead, she offers him a bribe to keep her secret.
But Duke doesn’t want her money. He wants to know why this woman is on the run. And as long as the star shines on his badge, he’s going to find out.

The Bribe is a debut novel for Willa Nash, but it’s pen name for Devney Perry so we already knew we were in for an amazing story.

The Bribe is the perfect start to this small-town romance series. We meet Duke and Lucy and a slew of other outstanding characters in this book and they will all win you over. Duke and Lucy’s first meeting was quite unusual and truly quite entertaining. They never thought they’d see one another again and just let it be.

When Lucy makes Calamity her new home – she gets more than she expected – Duke, who’s the sheriff of the town. Even from their first unexpected meeting, you could feel the chemistry between these two coming off the pages. But what I loved even more, was Duke’s determination to find out more about Lucy and what brought her to Calamity.

I won’t say much as the blurb does the perfect job of setting you up. Just know that Nilla delivers an exceptional small-town romance wth characters you will love. I cannot wait to meet more of this town’s folks and see what happens next. And Nilla has set us up for the next book perfectly!
