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.

Jillian Dodd is a USA Today and Amazon Top 5 best-selling author of over fifty books.

She is married to her college sweetheart, adores writing big fat happily ever afters, wears a lot of pink, buys way too many shoes, loves to travel, and is distracted by anything covered in glitter.

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.”

Release Day Blitz & Review…You Were Never Not Mine by Monica Murphy

by Courtney

You Were Never Not Mine by Monica Murphy is now live!

She should hate him at first sight…

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.

Release Day Blitz…A Captive Situation by Tijan

by Courtney

A Captive Situation by Tijan is now live!

New York Times bestselling author Tijan delivers a bold romance about two people wrestling with emotional trauma, thrown into a deadly—and heated—power dynamic when the mafia comes after them both.

Every bride dreams of her wedding day.

Today was supposed to be that day for me, except it’s not me marrying my college sweetheart.

My best friend is doing that. Or, well, my ex–best friend.

Instead, I’m over a thousand miles away, riding the subway in a city where lost people come to dream.

Me—I’m just hoping to distract myself from my heartbreak.

That is, until I met Jake Worthing.

Grumpy.

Hot.

A total jerk.

Did I mention hot?

Also, extremely presumptuous.

Just because I look like I’m a thought away from a total meltdown does not mean I need an ambulance.

He had the audacity to ask if I needed medical treatment.

Well, good riddance to him.

I don’t ever have to see him again.

Except, well, I do when I’m taken to the police station for a total misunderstanding.

He walks in and…gah. He’s the same that I remember from our first meeting.

Brooding. Still gorgeous. (The universe is not fair sometimes.)

He’s stirring up emotions that I didn’t know were still inside of me.

Then someone tries to shoot him and I’m a witness, and…er, how is it that I’m the one being kidnapped?

And by Jake?

Now I’m heated for a whole different reason.

If I get myself out of this captive situation, I’m going to reign down my own destruction starting with Jake Worthing.

I just have to survive first and, also, not get my heart broken. Again.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Sweet Surrender by K. Bromberg

by Courtney

Sweet Surrender by K. Bromberg is now live!

A sexy, rock star, marriage of convenience romance by New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg.

Jase Gizmodo is the wild card of the world-famous band BENT. He drums like a legend, lives like a rebel, and attracts headlines like a magnet. But when his recklessness causes a no-nonsense judge to threaten the band’s upcoming international tour, he needs a quick fix—and proof that he’s settling down might just do the trick.

Enter Hendrix Wright. Cookie queen. Small business owner. And barely hanging on. Her dream bakery is on the brink of closing its doors thanks to her ex’s betrayal, and she needs a miracle. Who knew a chance meeting with a charming, enigmatic, and incredibly sexy stranger in a coffee shop would change all that?

So when that stranger, Jase, offers her a deal—a temporary marriage for the cameras in exchange for the money to save her bakery—Hendrix should run. Fast. But instead, she finds that the more time they spend faking wedded bliss, the more real their chemistry feels.

Because falling for a rockstar was never part of the plan.

But surrendering? That might be the sweetest risk of all.

Sweet Surrender is the best description (and obvious title) for this book.

Jase and Hendrix could not be more different from one another if they tried. But she’s what he needs and he’s got something she needs. What could go wrong!? LOL

I really enjoyed the banter between these two. It showed not only their chemistry, but who they are as individuals. We got to see another side of Jase that only Hendrix was able to pull out of him.

I don’t want to say much because it gives away the dynamics between these two and their story. I enjoyed the forced proximity and how these two handled it and what it created between them.

Sweet Surrender is more than just a rockstar romance; it’s an emotional story that readers will absolutely love.

Meet Kristy

USA Today bestselling author Laura Pavlov delivers a spicy enemies-to-lovers romance about a billionaire developer and a small-town entrepreneur battling their desires in the Land of the Midnight Sun.

Myles St. James is tearing my world apart.

Wish I’d known that before I slept with him.

It was supposed to be a one-night stand.

Like I knew anything about those.

But I needed to blow off steam.

My ex had just gotten engaged.

My dry spell was nearing six months.

And my booming wedding planning business—the one I started with my bestie—was about to lose its favorite venue to some bulldozer-happy developer from New York.

The Seaside Inn is such a special place.

My second home.

And ever since that famous singer got married there, people are flocking to Blushing, Alaska, for their own weddings too.

Guess whose fling turns out to be the hotshot real estate guy?

But he isn’t what I expected.

And sleeping with the enemy doesn’t feel nearly as wrong as it should.

Because Myles St. James is rocking my world.

Too bad giving in to him could mean giving up my dreams.

Release Day Blitz…Built to Last by Lexi Blake

by Courtney

Built to Last by Lexi Blake is now live!

From New York Times bestselling author Lexi Blake, discover The Park Avenue Promise Series…

Three young women make a pact in high school—

to always be friends and to one day make it big in Manhattan

Built to Last

Harper Ross has always dreamed of working on one of the magnificent brownstones of Park Avenue. Now one of her closest friends has bought the house of her dreams and hired Harper to do the construction work. She wants to showcase the renovation on a television show for her brand-new production company. It’s the same grand home she and her friends promised themselves they would be able to afford one day. Working on it isn’t the same as living in it, but it’s all a part of Harper’s grand plan to grow her father’s construction business into one of the biggest in the city. The only obstacle—the designer on the project.

Reid Dorsey believes in the balance between beauty and functionality. As one of Manhattan’s new voices in design, he’s excited to get to work on a true Gilded Age property. If only the owner had selected a contractor he enjoyed working with. Oh, Harper was brilliant and her work was excellent, but she has an opinion on everything—and it’s usually the opposite of his.

Over the course of the job, these enemies start to see different sides of each other, and suddenly their fights don’t seem so bad. But when the project is threatened, they might have to choose between their jobs and the beautifully designed future they could share.
