🏡Small Town Romance

🔥Slow Burn

💞Emotional Twists & Turns

‼️ Dynamic Side Characters

Blurb:

Second-chance romance only works out in movies. In real life, it’s …messy.

I don’t need a man for anything.

Love and romance? Pfft. No thanks. Never again.

Between my career as a wedding planner and being a single mother, I barely have time to think about men.

I wasn’t looking for a hero when I ended up locked outside a hotel that was engulfed in a blazing inferno, wearing nothing but a robe. I would’ve eventually saved myself. Too bad he didn’t give me a chance.

Yep, you guessed it. Luke Incendio, the sexy firefighter who came to my hotel rescue and the man who had caused me to swear off love years ago is one and the same.

Now, he says he wants to make amends. He says he’s never stopped wanting me. His words are laced in regret as he says he made a mistake.

But talk is cheap—and the tingly feelings he inspires in me are not to be trusted. Because this time around, I’m not the only one who’ll get burned if he proves to be unreliable.

And there’s no way I’m going to let that happen.

Blurb:

Looking for a Fake Fiancé

Have you ever wanted to prove someone wrong so badly that you could taste it?

It doesn’t matter if they’re right. The fact that they had the audacity to say it is what counts.

Hi. It’s me. I’m that person.

The man I’ve been casually seeing told me I’m not “wife material” and should “lower my expectations”. Didn’t he realize I lowered them the moment I met him for dinner?

Obviously not.

Am I petty? Maybe. Annoyed? Of course. Determined? Definitely.

I need someone to help me flaunt my new engagement—my fiancé couldn’t wait to pop the question because I’m that amazing—in his face.

The problem? I don’t have a boyfriend, let alone a husband-to-be.

Which brings us to you.

Are you handsome? Successful? A smooth talker extraordinaire?

Are you willing to do all the things that someone madly in love would do?

Putting your hand on the small of my back. Forehead kissing. Acting like I’m a treasure you can’t live without. I need you to be prepared to do all those things … and maybe more.

What do you get out of this? I’m willing to negotiate terms—especially if they include a job and a place to stay. It’s a long story.

One night. One event. Let’s put on one heck of a show.

From USA Today and Amazon Charts Bestselling author comes a “hot and hilarious!” fake-dating tale between two frenemies that turn into roommates, coworkers, and, ultimately, lovers. Fans of close proximity, one-bed trope, and blue-collar, small-town heroes will fall madly in love with this story.

About the Author:

USA Today Bestselling author, Adriana Locke, writes contemporary romances about the two things she knows best—big families and small towns. Her stories are about ordinary people finding extraordinary love with the perfect combination of heart, heat, and humor.

She loves connecting with readers, fall weather, football, reading alpha heroes, everything pumpkin, and pretending to garden.

Hailing from a tiny town in the Midwest, Adriana spends her free time with her high school sweetheart (who she married over twenty-five years ago) and their four sons (who truly are her best work). Her kitchen may be a perpetual disaster, and if all else fails, there is always pizza.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Tempting Little Thief by Meagan Brandy

by Courtney

TEMPTING LITTLE THIEF

Meagan Brandy

Release Date: June 1

From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Meagan Brandy comes a steamy forbidden romance featuring a possessive hero … who falls first and will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

Bastian Bishop. That’s his name.

He’s rough, rugged, and utterly unpredictable.

He’s not cautious or contemplative. He’s a volcano. Silent and steady one second, and a nightmare in the next.

But that’s not the worst of it.

This guy? He’s an outsider and in my world outsiders don’t belong.

They’re unwanted, unwelcome and known to disappear without a trace; yet he doesn’t seem to care.

After one night of reckless rebellion, the tattooed tyrant keeps coming back, sneaking into my world without permission, and causing trouble I can’t allow.

I should end this now before my father discovers his existence and does it for me, but he won’t allow it.

He says, like it or not … I am his now, that nothing and no one will stand in his way.

What he refuses to understand is I’m a Girl of Greyson, a coveted queen of sorts in the underground crime world.

He’s a nobody, an insignificant man with nothing to his name, marking him a threat to my own.

We could never be, but he won’t hear it.

And me? I know exactly how this ends.

Or so I thought I did, until betrayal burns so deep that suddenly nothing makes sense.

Nothing but him…

Alternate Cover

“There’s a fire in her eyes that speaks to the devil buried in the mine, and he wants to play.”

This is just a small insight into Bastian Bishop’s mind. And oh what a mind it is to be trapped in.

Tempting Little Thief is Bastian Bishop’s story. I only read two books in the Brayshaw High series and I can with absolute certainty state that you can read this book with zero knowledge of that series. And if you never read any other book by Meagan because the Brayshaw series didn’t do it for you, I HIGHLY encourage you to give her another try with this one.

TLT is the start of her new series, Girls of Greyson, and is her best writing to date. I have read other standalone books by Meagan and I have enjoyed watching her writing grow with each release. But TLT is definitely Meagan at her best.

“But today’s truth often becomes tomorrow’s lie, almost always by accident.”

This story is very fast-paced, filled with drama and some great twists mixed in. It was thrilling to watch Bastian and Rocklin go from lust to love and their relationship build as the story unfolds. They are complete opposites in so many ways but also alike in many. I love the tit for tat between them – their banter just added to the chemistry between and helped solidify that strong foundation they needed.

There are a few areas where I felt things got a bit too unreal and felt a bit over the top (for me). However, those were very few and didn’t detract or stop me from reading.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed these characters and their story. I cannot wait to see what Meagan brings us next in this series.

Release Day Blitz…Love Me Today by A.L. Jackson

by Courtney

Love Me Today by A.L. Jackson is now live!

A jaded single dad. A woman returning to her small-town roots. Neither was prepared for their paths to collide…

I should have known I was in trouble when I backed my old, beat-up truck into the shiny Range Rover.

The driver looked like a gorgeous fallen angel – one who’d been booted right out of paradise for being a giant prick.

Good thing I’ll never have to see him again.

Except when I show up for my new job to teach a little girl how to ride her horse, I find the same icy blue eyes glaring back at me.

Paisley Dae is completely reckless. She’s also the best trainer in this small town. And Evelyn gets the best.

Protecting the little girl is my one focus.

Only the sassy trainer in her cut-offs and cowgirl boots quickly gets under my skin. Distractions are dangerous, but she soon becomes everything I crave.

One reckless night of giving in, and Caleb and I spiral into a web of passion.

But when I begin to unravel the secrets hiding in this place, I find there is more riding on this job than I thought.

Caleb and Evelyn are worth any sacrifice – only Caleb has to decide what he will sacrifice for me…

Release Blitz & Review…The Sixteenth Need by Calia Read

by Courtney

The Sixteenth Need from Calia Read is ONE CLICK HERE: https://mybook.to/TSN_CaliaReadCover Cover Designer: Emily Wittig

@emily_wittig_designs

BLURB:

My sin…

My addiction…

Before Samson McShane, I was merely Sable Cole, the oldest daughter of our town’s druggie. Multiple eyes were on me, watching my every action—waiting for me to mess up.

When I met Samson, we couldn’t be more different yet he became my escape. He took me out of the protective shell I created for myself and showed me what it meant to be free.

Our lives would drift apart.

I saw him, clashed with him, and loved him sixteen times.

My past should have shown me the error in loving him. It never did.

Samson McShane was my sin and my addiction. He was my sixteenth need.

💜💜💜What you can expect…

💜Small Town

💜Second Chance

💜Sports Romance

💜Angsty

💜Happily Ever After

💜Complete Stand Alone

💜💜💜ADD The Sixteenth Need to your TBR: https://bit.ly/TSNCaliaRead_TBR

It’s been a bit since I have read a book by Calia Read and I am pondering why that is.

The Sixteenth Need was so much more than a second chance romance. This story has so much depth to it, I don’t even know where to start.

Calia creates characters that have so many layers to them and you just can’t help but love them.

We meet the Cole sisters – Sable, Alba, Marren and Lennon. The Sixteenth Need focuses mostly on Sable and her second chance romance with Samson, but I absolutely love how perfect Calia weaves everyone into this story.

This story is told from both past and present and from Sable and Samson’s POV. I enjoyed watching these two grow in so many ways and learning about one another as their story progresses. It is a slow burn, but it absolutely so worth it.

Calia builds the perfect anticipation with every aspect to this story. It all flows seamlessly and comes together beautifully.

I purposely left out all details because this story needs to be read without any knowledge, just like I read it. I promise you won’t regret picking this one up.

HOW TO WIN THE GIRL

Sara Ney

Release Date: May 24

FREE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

I, Drake Colter, solemnly swear I do not want a girlfriend…

Carefree and ridiculously good-looking, I have the entire student body eating from the palm of

my hand—shouldn’t I let the ladies on campus have their fill rather than being tied down?

If only my brother Drew would take notes from my playbook. As identical twins, we share the

same voice, the same face, and the same physique; it’s virtually impossible to tell us apart—but

that’s where the similarities end.

Lately, my brother has been whining about wanting to settle down with. He longs for affection,

companionship and all the bullshit that goes along with it blah blah blah.

Problem is, he’s hopeless when it comes to dating. It’s seriously embarrassing to watch,

considering we’re identical; everyone thinks I’m him and everyone thinks he’s me.

Luckily I’m not intimidated by woman and have plenty of experience. I might not want to find

myself a girlfriend, but that don’t mean I can’t help him. Dude never needs to know!

And that’s the very thing that lands me in trouble…

Release Day Blitz & Review…Exposing the Groom by Rachel Van Dyken

by Courtney

Title: Exposing the Groom
Author: Rachel Van Dyken

Romantic Comedy, New Adult Romance, Wedding Singer/Rockstar Romance, Grumpy-Sunshine

Killian swept in like a knight in shining leather pants to save Scarlett once she exposed the groom. The next time they saw each other, they ended up fake-engaged. Can they find a way to make it down the aisle together and live happily ever after? Find out in #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken’s EXposing the Groom, a romantic comedy with a side of rockstar.

How it started:
An accidental phone grab during my rehearsal dinner while my fiancé went to use the restroom.

How it ended:
Reading all the dirty texts between him and my maid of honor, aka little sister, during our vows in front of the world in what would later be considered one of the most viral wedding videos on TikTok.
Of. All. Time.
Did I mention his vows were before mine, and he compared me to my adopted dog because… and I quote, “I’m so loyal.”
It’s not my fault that my first instinct, after exposing his dirty lies, was to run up to the clueless rockstar that was supposed to headline my reception and ask him to sing my tears away. I never expected him to help me escape certain disaster, kiss me senseless, and then buy me ice cream.
But that was all in the past—until I’m staring down at a wedding invitation from the crappy little crap pants ex. You see, he swapped sisters, and now a year later, they’re getting married at a gorgeous winery while I’m still staring down at a plus one, wondering if I can bring my pet turtle.

How it happened:
In desperation, I sent a drunken text to the hot rockstar with a picture of my turtle, Chuck Norris… in a bowtie. Who knew he would show up at the wedding—but get this, it wasn’t to save me, nope, it was to… yup, SING!
SHE STOLE HIM TOO!
But now that he’s there and I’m there, and the history is there, I beg him one more time to save me, this time as my date.
But lie after lie just kept pouring out of my mouth until we were somehow fake-engaged.
I would laugh if crying didn’t feel so good.
Should have brought the freaking turtle…

Available on Amazon & FREE with Kindle Unlimited

EXPOSING THE GROOM

“Our destiny awaits.”

“Hmm, destiny?”

“Destiny,” I answer.

You ever wonder how much power one single word can hold?

I thought I knew. I’m an artist, after all; words are what I do. They’re what I wield; they may as well be my sword.

But I miscalculated the power just like I miscalculated every step that led me into her house.

Every laugh.

Every sigh.

Even the silence was grossly miscalculated.

The moments where two people know it’s right but wrong at the same time, where the kisses feel more urgent and passionate than they should, like you’ve struck the perfect chord with another only to know the song has to end—it must.

The world paused that night.

And like passing ships, we continued on.

And lived for ourselves rather than each other.

I still think about the times I stopped walking toward the SUV.

The number of times I reached into my pocket and touched one of the stupid coaster party favors I’d found on her table when I left in the darkness.

Some things mean something because they can’t help it.

Some things mean something because they must.

And some things you force yourself to look at as meaningless because if you truly acknowledged their truth—then destiny, for sure, would find you. And not all of us are ready for the truth.

Some of us look at truth as the end of the fake reality you’ve been living, tossing you into the rawness of your existence.

And some of us would rather live outside of that because it’s the only way we can survive.

You are invited to the Wedding of the Year!

Check out all of the wedding festivities HERE!

The RVD Shoppe

When RVD first started “messing” around the idea of this story, I absolutely loved. She wrote a few pieces in her reader group and we practically begged her to write this as a full fledge novel. So when she announced, Exposing The Groom, I was just beyond excited to read this.

The blurb gives you all you need to know about the plot. I will tell you that Rachel writes one hilarious, rockstar romance.

It does start off a bit chaotic for me, but quickly everything evens out and things begin to come together. I loved everything about this book – from the characters, to their mannerisms to how the whole plot plays out.

Exposing The Groom is quite the hysterical ride and you definitely don’t want to miss it.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Blushing in the Big Leagues by R. S. Grey

by Courtney

Blushing in the Big Leagues by R.S. Grey is now live!

I have one simple rule: don’t date professional baseball players. There are no exceptions, no workarounds.

“What if—”

No.

“Could he—”

Nuh-uh.

With a brother in the league, I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the downright horrifying. Those guys might seem tantalizing when they’re in uniform down on the field, hitting grand slams in front of a crowd of adoring fans, but I know better. The huge egos? The insane travel schedules? The veritable buffet of female companions? No ma’am. Professional athletes are best handled at a distance, preferably far enough away that their chiseled jawlines blur into oblivion.

Enter Grant Navarro.

He’s the baseball player to end all baseball players. The one I should have marked with a big red X the first moment I laid eyes on him. Only the night we met (and kissed—oops), I didn’t know he was my brother’s newest teammate. Imagine my shock when I realized the sexiest man in Manhattan was officially off limits. Just my luck!

Let the record show that I had every intention of following my rule and staying away from Grant. When he smiled that irresistible smile and those dimples popped, I stood my ground. When he made it very clear he’d love to pick up where we left off the night we met, I said, Hold it right there, partner. When he messaged me all sorts of naughty things on Instagram, I logged out of that app so fast I dented my iPhone screen.

Baseball players are bad, bad, bad.

So tell me why giving in to Grant just for a night, getting one taste of what could be starts to seem not just tempting, but downright mandatory.

Yeah, about that one simple rule…haven’t you heard?

Rules are meant to be broken.

Blushing in the Big Leagues is Rachel’s newest release and she crushes this sports romance.

Tate is the brother of a baseball player and since she has grown up surrounded by baseball, she has always sworn off baseball players.

Tate meets Grant at a party and because she assumes they’ll never see one another again, enforces the whole “no name” rule. That is until she finds out that he is newest player on her brother’s MLB team.

The chemistry between Tate and Grant sets these pages on fire. I love the sexual tension that is built up in this book, but absolutely looooove when they finally give in to one another.

Rachel writes some of the best characters in her books. Tate and Grant are not only heating the pages, but you will find yourself laughing throughout this book. I love the extra layer with the secondary characters that keep this book lively and entertaining.

Another great hit from Rachel.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Neutral Zone by Teagan Hunter

by Courtney

He’s a shy hockey heartthrob.
She’s not afraid to ask for what she wants.
Can these two find a neutral zone?

Neutral Zone by Teagan Hunter is now live!

To my fans, I’m known as Ivan Fitzgerald.

To my teammates, I’m just Fitz.

And to the girl I’ve been talking to online, I’m ShootsAndScores.

There’s no doubt in my mind that the woman on the other side of the screen is completely out of my league. Why wouldn’t she be? Sure, I’m a professional hockey player, but that doesn’t mean anything when I’m shy and awkward in the most basic social situations and she’s a fiery vixen who oozes sex appeal.

No matter how badly I want her, I can’t have her. Because the woman I love watching so much? The one I might be slowly falling for?

She’s not just some stranger on the internet. It’s Rosie, the woman who serves me coffee and donuts every morning.

And she has no clue it’s me.

TEAGAN!!!!

Girl has done it again – Neutral Zone is another phenomenal sports romance!!

There has not been one book in this entire series that I have not absolutely loved. And the best part – not one story is anywhere close to the same!! All the characters are so completely different and their stories are so incredibly unique. And I love each one the same because of that.

Fitz and Rosie are absolutely so adorable. Fitz is one the most reserved hockey players but he has his reasons.

Rosie may be a woman who seems very confident, but she’s not always been that way.

I loved watching the sparks fly between these two and as time goes on, seeing their budding relationship blossom. I love their quirkiness and their different kinks. I just love – both as individuals and absolutely when they are finally together.

I want to say so much, but I won’t. Just like every other book in this series – you will fall in love with these characters.

Neutral Zone is the perfect build up and has the perfect blend of sports, humor and romance.
