The Complication with the Best Man by Piper Rayne is now live!
One wild night turns into two pink lines.
Sleeping with the best man at my cousin’s wedding felt right at the time—he was a hot, available firefighter, and I was the tipsy maid of honor. It’s a rite of passage.
No regrets… until two pink lines flipped my world upside down.
Now I’m wildly unprepared and trying to hide my pregnancy in my small Alaskan town where privacy is a myth and gossip spreads faster than frostbite.
But wait, it gets worse.
Baby Daddy just came back to town—with a fiancée in tow.
And guess who she wants to plan their wedding?
Me.
Keeping the secret was hard enough.
Keeping my distance from the father of my baby? Impossible.
Just when I think I have it all figured out, he reveals his own secret that changes everything.
Author’s Note: There is no cheating in this book. Gasp! We would never.

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…

As a college English professor, Elizabeth looks forward to the start of each new semester teaching her creative writing seminar. At least until she reads chapter one of The Reckoning, a tale about a high school senior who has an affair with her teacher. To anyone else it would be the beginning of a great page-turner, but to Elizabeth it is the beginning of the end.
She knows this story. It’s all familiar because she lived it. The girl in the story was her best friend Jocelyn, and Elizabeth knows exactly how the story will end—with the teacher dead. Because she was the one who killed him.
Someone knows what Elizabeth did twenty years ago and her secret is about to be exposed, but who is the mystery student submitting the chapters? In an effort to find out, Elizabeth returns to her Louisiana hometown where it soon becomes clear that no matter how many years have gone by, she can’t escape her past.

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?
Fueled by dark chocolate and even darker coffee, USA Today bestselling author Jane Henry writes what she loves to read— character-driven, unputdownable romance featuring dominant alpha males and the powerful heroines who bring them to their knees. She’s believed in the power of love and romance since Belle won over the beast, and finally decided to write love stories of her own.
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.
Meet Jillian Dodd

She writes fun binge-able romance series with characters her readers fall in love with–from the boy next door in the That Boy series to the daughter of a famous actress in The Keatyn Chronicles to a spy who might save the world in the Spy Girl series. Her newest series include London Prep, a prep school series about a drama filled three-week exchange, and the next generation of The Keatyn Chronicles, Eastbrooke Academy. 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.
Bella Matthews is a USA Today & #1 Amazon Bestselling author. She is married to her very own Alpha Male and raising three little ones. You can typically find her running from one sporting event to another. When she is home, she is usually hiding in her home office with the only other female in her house, her rescue dog Tinker Bell by her side. She likes to write swoon-worthy heroes and sassy, smart heroines. Sarcasm is her love language and big family dynamics are her favorite thing to add to each story.
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.
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.
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.”
