About TWIST OF FATE:

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jill Shalvis comes a new story in her Heartbreaker Bay series…

When the one you want …

Daisy doesn’t believe love is ever-lasting, so it’s ironic as hell that she parlayed a business degree into a wedding planning business. More ironic still is her latest job bringing her back into contact with the man who’d taught her that love can’t last.

Is the one you can’t have…

To say Diego has been taught the hard way to bury emotions is an understatement. But when he’s called home to help the brother he hasn’t seen or spoken to in years, that’s one thing. It’s another entirely to also come face to face with the first woman he ever loved. First and only…

Can love conquer all?

Daisy’s learned to depend only on herself, and Diego is and always has been an island of one. And yet when they’re together, even when they’re bickering, still wary and haunted by memories of what was … it’s magic. The question is, how to find their way back to each other…?

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Tracey’s ReviewThe Heartbreaker Bay series by Jill Shalvis is one of my favorites. I really enjoy all of the characters and their stories, and the ensemble feel is a big sell for me. TWIST OF FATE, a novella in this world, is a sweet taste of second-chance romance and the realization that sometimes, you can go home again.

Daisy and Diego both have pasts that make it hard for them to commit. Although they once shared a white hot passion, neither one has ever found their HEA. Diego’s return to Heartbreaker Bay for his brother’s wedding brings him face to face with Daisy and their past, forcing the two to take a hard look at their lives then and now, and to finally do what they never really did, and communicate. Ah, that Heartbreaker Bay magic (and a little bit of behind the scenes conspiring)…

As a 1001 Dark Nights novella, this story is more of a snippet than a book, but was a great addition to the HB series nonetheless. It can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend the whole series. TWIST OF FATE is guaranteed to lift your spirits and make you believe that love does win, after all. ❤️

About The Fall of Legend:

From New York Times bestselling author Meghan March comes a new deliciously dangerous alpha hero in The Fall of Legend, the first book in the brand new and utterly addictive Legend trilogy.

 

We come from two different worlds.

I’m from the streets. She might as well live in an ivory tower.

I made my living with my fists. I doubt she could even throw a punch.

Our paths never should have crossed.

We never should have met. 

That doesn’t change the facts.

I would sell my soul to taste those red lips.

Fight the devil himself to hear her laugh.

Burn in hell to have a single night.

Scarlett Priest shouldn’t even know men like me exist, but sometimes temptation is stronger than will. 

If this is how I go down, it’ll be worth every second of the fall.

Tracey’s Review

Scarlett Priest and Gabriel Legend come from completely different worlds. But she has something that he needs, and he’s ready to go to the mat to get her help. And, although Scarlett doesn’t know it at first, it doesn’t take long for her to see that there is much more to Gabriel Legend than she could have possibly seen coming, and that more is going to change her is every single way…

Okay, so I’m all in…I know that if the first book in the new Legend Trilogy by author Meghan March has me feeling this kind of way that it’s on. Three books? You bet. I’m there for the whole ride, y’all. Because, once again, the lovely and talented Ms. March has created a whole new world (is that singing that I hear…?) with a whole new set of characters to get to know and love. And love them, I do.

Meghan does a bang-up job of setting the mood for the trilogy with this first book, showing us what makes these characters tick and why. I am truly excited to see what’s ahead for Scarlett and Gabriel, and I know that Meghan will deliver like nobody’s business. An easy 4 stars, THE FALL OF LEGEND should be high atop your book pile, friends. Go forth and devour… ❤️

Michel’s Review

 

Beauty and the Badge by Ella Fox is the first book in the new Charlotte’s Cove Series.

This charming small-town romance captured my complete attention. All of the characters came to life on the pages. This made the reader feel like they were home with friends and family.

Ashley and Tyler had an instant attraction that went beyond lust. Their relationship was built upon small town values, honest emotions, and pure red hot chemistry. Together they were the perfect couple and warmed my heart.

Ella Fox added a bit of suspense, heart warming romance, and small town charm that made this book a winner. I can’t wait to see what happens next in Charlotte’s Cove.

I highly recommend this charming book!

Instead…
I claimed her.

Teased

Worshipped
her.

Until…
I broke her.

My
best friend.

My
savior.

My
girl.

From
my mind to my heart, to every single bone in my body.

She
owned me.

I
was hers.

Every
look.

Every
kiss.

Every
touch.

Every
tear.

It

I couldn’t remember a time before her… Harley Jameson.

Before she owned me.

Hated Me.

Needed me.

Before I hated her…

Things were simple.

We had an understanding.

Bully. Fight. Hate. It’s what we did.

Mind. Body. Soul. It’s how we loved.

I thought nothing would ever change that, until everything did.

She was mine.

Always had been.

Always would be.

Nothing altered that.

Not how much she hated me.

Especially, not how much I hated…

That I LOVED her.

Ashley’s Review

Storyline: 5 stars

Characters: 5 stars

Heat Factor: 5 stars

Overall Rating: 5 stars

 

“Cuz our souls are connected.” Jackson Pierce

Love You Now is the second book in the new Love Hurts Duet by M Robinson.

Facts.

This. Book. Gives. All. The. Feels.

Monica has again delivered another stellar story that’ll pull on your heartstrings! The depth and development of her characters makes them so realistic that readers will easily relate and feel their emotions as this story unfolds.

Be prepared from some shocking twists in this story.

This book picks up where Hated You Then left off. You will continue to get a first-hand look into Harley and Jackson’s life as they grow up and how they are handling life together as adults.

Jackson’s journey of the unknown continues as he struggles to come to terms with the fact that he could possibly have the genetic condition that took his mother from him much too soon.

Faced with an unexpected predicament, Harley soon learns who she can depend on and who she can’t.

We see significant growth out of both Harley and Jackson. This story is about healing and love. It’s about forgiveness.

M Robsinon is the Queen of Angst without question. She knows how to weave a story that’ll give readers whiplash with emotions. That’s why I recommend tissues.

Another great read!

5 stars!!!

Sometimes you meet people who are out of this world, so you make them a part of yours.

In the Unlikely Event, an all-new must-read contemporary romance from USA Today bestselling author L.J. Shen, is coming November 19th and we have the gorgeous cover!

In the Unlikely Event AMAZON

A one-night stand born from vengeance in a foreign land.

An explosive chemistry neither of us could deny.

We signed a contract on the back of a Boar’s Head Pub napkin that said if we ever met again, we would drop everything and be together.

Eight years and thousands of miles later, he’s here.

In New York.

And he’s America’s music obsession.

The intangible Irish poet who brings record executives to their knees.

The blizzard in my perfect, unshaken snow globe.

Last time we spoke, he was a beggar with no intention of becoming a king.

But a king he became, and now I’m his servant.

I’m not the same broken princess Malachy Doherty put back together with his callused hands.

I have a career I love.

A boyfriend I adore.

An apartment, a roommate, a life.

I changed. He changed, too.

But Mal kept the napkin.

Question is, will I keep my word?

Books in the collection:

Loving Kalvin – standalone friends-to-lovers second-chance romance

I knew it would end in disaster, but I didn’t listen to reason. I didn’t care. Because I loved him so much.

Kalvin Kennedy ruled my heart.

Until he destroyed it.

Shattered it so completely that I became someone else. Someone I loathed. Someone who repeatedly lied to her loved ones.

So, I ran.

From him. From myself. Desperate to hide my new reality.

But I could only run so far.

Saving Brad – standalone enemies-to-lovers romance

I need to escape.

To put as much distance between me and that monster so I can start living my life.

Yet, even the vast Atlantic Ocean isn’t enough to sever the connection. To allow me to forget how he’s ruined me. His hold is more than just physical. He has a vise grip on my head and my heart, and I can’t breathe, can’t think, can’t function.

So, I do everything to blot it out.

Until he reappears in my life.

Brad McConaughey. So hot. So infuriating. So in love with my best friend.

Every word out of Brad’s mouth makes me want to throat punch him or kick him in the nuts.

But he makes me feel, and I hate him for it. A part of me might actually love him for it.

Seducing Kaden – standalone forbidden romance

When I was a little girl, I dreamed of falling in love. The all-consuming sweep-you-off-your-feet kind of love I swooned over in movies.

It didn’t take long for that fairytale notion to come crashing down around me. Now I’m trapped in a marriage I despise with no way out.

The only light in the dark is Kaden Kennedy—the one true love of my life. He doesn’t know he is, because I’m forced to love him from afar, condemned to toss and turn at night, crying over everything I want and all I can never have.

Seeing him day in, day out, destroys me, but there’s no other choice; I had to push him away to keep him safe.

Because if my husband ever finds out I’m in love with one of my students, I won’t be the only one in danger.

Forgiving Keven – standalone second-chance romance

They say you never forget your first love, but I’m determined to prove Keven Kennedy is just a random boy from my past.

It’s not like I still think about him after all this time. Or daydream about how hot his kisses were and what it felt like to have his hands on my skin.

Nope, that’s not me. I’m in a happy place in my life. Engaged to a great man and finishing the last year of my photography degree.

But since I returned to Massachusetts, everything reminds me of the boy who ripped my heart to shreds. Especially when my fiancé’s constant business trips, and dwindling attention, raises old fears to the surface.

And then the unthinkable happens—Keven saunters back into my life, turning it upside down once more.

It’s ironic he thinks he’s protecting me when the only one I need protecting from is him.

This holiday season, there’s more than gingerbread in the oven.

I was always a type-A kind of girl— and that’s exactly what got me into trouble with Sterling Ahren.

Having a baby before thirty didn’t work out, so I took some time off to sort out my life. Sterling’s my new landlord… and he doesn’t plan anything.

He’s a billionaire playboy who can’t stand the holidays. A recluse of the worst kind, Sterling makes Scrooge look like a generous soul… except Ebenezer was never this sexy.

He doesn’t want a family— until the night we have a spontaneous one-night stand, and forget to use condoms. I can’t have a baby with a disorganized, free spirit like him. Between my overprotective brothers and his crazy fans, I already know this isn’t going to work out.

Except Sterling isn’t willing to let me go. He wants me home for the holidays… and this is my last chance to make a Christmas miracle happen.

One thing I know for sure: when Sterling and I collide, it’s going to be anything but a silent night.

Funny, touching, and delightful, this smoking hot billionaire holiday rom-com by Claudia Burgoa will make you feel the magic of Christmas.

Excerpt

“Juniper Spearman, what the fuck are you doing here?” I hear Jackson’s voice and there’s a loud banging on the door. “June, open up. I know you’re there, open the fucking door.”

“Who is that?” Sterling asks, gasping for breaths.

“June, I can’t stop him for too long.” I hear Alex’s voice. “Open up, Junie bee.”

I grunt. “My brothers,” I say, untangling myself from him. “Are you ready?”

Ever since we were kids, Jack has always known when I borrow his things without permission. I knew going into his garage might trigger some camera. He has a tight security system. To top it all, I stole his Internet connection.

But hey, I needed my equipment and a faster Internet connection. Sterling’s slows down when we stream movies.

What’s the best way to keep myself connected while we are lounging?

I hooked up my electronics to his Internet.

It’s Jackson’s fault. The guy always brags about it being so powerful he can connect to it even if he’s hiking a couple of miles away from his property. Well, the geek is right. I’m less than a mile away from his home and I’ve been taking advantage of it.

He’s in the city, after all. He won’t notice until he comes back and hopefully by then, I’ll be gone.

“I thought you had bodyguards to take care of unwanted company,” I growl, marching toward the door.

He snorts. “I’m sure they know and that’s why they’re letting your brothers do whatever they want—to interrupt me.”

We walk to the main door and what do we find?

Not one, but three very annoying Spearman brothers glaring at me—and Sterling.

“Juniper?” Jackson crosses his arms.

“Jackson?” I cross mine too and give him the glare. He might be taller, older, and meaner but I’m not letting him treat me like I’m five years old. “Do I go to your house and bang on the door at odd hours of the day? Mom will be disappointed with your manners.”

“This isn’t your house,” he corrects me. “And it’s three o’clock.”

Sterling surprises me when he says with a firm voice. “It is her house.”

We all turn to look at him. I’m totally dumbfounded by his answer.

“I like you, Spearman, but watch your tone.” He looks at my brother darkly.

“I thought we were friends, man,” Alex says with disappointment. “You’re breaking the bro-code.”

“Seriously, June,” Jason says with a tone of disappointment and brushes some strands of my hair. “At least fake it.”

I open my mouth to protest but stop myself. Saying I look like shit because I’ve been puking all day is going to open the can of worms I want to keep closed for a few more weeks—months even. Maybe I’ll have the babies and tell them about it when they turn four or eighteen.

“Not to interrupt this amusing family reunion, but it’s cold as fuck outside and she’s not wearing a jacket,” Sterling says, pulling me into his arms. “How can I help you, gentlemen?”

“Let’s go home, June,” Jackson orders.

Sterling turns to me, his eyes soft. “Do you want to leave?”

I shake my head.

“You heard the lady. She’s with me,” Sterling barks back. “She’s also not your property to order around.”

Butterflies fluttering and all aside, I compose myself. Because no one wants to speak with a puddle of mush, and say, “I came with him and will leave with him.”

“Mom doesn’t know where you are,” Jackson starts nagging. “She’s freaking out because she went to visit you and your neighbor said you’re out of town. The first thing she did was call me because I’m responsible for you when our parents are out of town.”

“Jason.” I appeal to the one who isn’t as possessive.

“You know I love you and I support you,” he says. “But this wasn’t cool. At least text me your whereabouts. What’s going on with you? I heard you’re selling your company.”

“You took the month off,” Alex adds. “What if I need you?”

“This is so unlike you,” Jackson says frustrated. “I get it from Jeannette but you …”

“Me what, Jackson? Just because I decided to change my life that doesn’t mean I’m a failure. You changed yours, just like Jason did. I can’t search for my own happiness?”

He frowns and closes his mouth tight.

Michel’s Review
Once Upon A Holiday by Claudia Burgoa is the perfect holiday romance to begin the festive season.  The devout fans of Claudia’s books are in for a holiday treat when two charismatic secondary characters from several books find love in Denver, CO over the holiday season.  For those readers new to Claudia Burgoa, Once Upon A Holiday is the perfect introduction to her fantastic writing.
*
Junie Spearman has made a life altering decision. She is a strong independent woman with a successful career, a striving business, and a great sense of self awareness. Her biological clock is ticking and personal health issues fill her with an urgency to start a family. Rather than waiting for a man or a miracle, she is taking matters into her own hands. She is gearing down her professional obligations and revving up her personal life for a new baby in the new year.  One last one night fling with a sexy hot stranger over the Thanksgiving holiday is the perfect way to blow off some steam and give her one last spontaneous adventure.  Little does she know her holiday’s are about to get busier than she anticipated and a lot more festive.
*
Sterling Ahern has always been a lone wolf living a life of seclusion in the midst of the hectic city of Denver. His notoriety and fame from being a world class artist has forced him to live behind the scenes, behind his bodyguards, and away from loved ones. When he meets a woman who makes him want more, makes him want to step out of the shadows, the only thing he can do is enjoy the spontaneity on their holiday tyrsts.
*
Both Junie and Sterling are going to learn that sometimes fate takes a hand and throws away their perfect lists, their imperfect structured lives, and gives them the best gift of all. Fate gives them the gift of love and family. Who knew some gifts don’t come in packages but in bursts of unforgettable moments of the heart.
*
Claudia Burgoa once again pulled me with her writing. Her ability to create beautifully flawed, dynamic characters and give them the purest gift of the heart in written words is amazing. I always walk away from a Claudia Burgoa novel with a smile on my face and a warm heart!
*
Once Upon A Holiday by Claudia Burgoa is a festive celebration of love.

BLURB

Mya Hernandez has scars.
 
The kind that run deep and leave marks.
Rixon is only supposed to be a temporary place to hide, but it’s quickly becoming something more. 
She’s almost certain it has nothing to do with the blond-haired, blue-eyed football player who makes her laugh. Who makes her believe in fairy tales again.
Even if she knows her life is destined to be nothing more than a tragedy.
 
Asher Bennet has secrets.
 
Not the scandalous kind, but the ones that fester, slowly eating away at your soul.
On the face of it, he’s Mr Popular, always down for a party and causing a little mayhem. 
But on the inside, he just wants someone to see him. Really see him. Too bad the one girl who sees past his facade has already friend-zoned him. 
It’s probably for the best though.
 
She’s different.
A fighter.
She’s everything he wants but can never have.
 
Until Mya’s past and Asher’s present collide in ways neither of them saw coming.
 

 

And suddenly the thing you need most is the very thing you’re supposed to hate.

Release Date: November 5, 2019

 

Synopsis:
I am not okay.

Fifteen months ago, my life was turned upside down when the plane I was piloting went down. Injured and trapped in the wreckage, I had to watch my fiancée die a painfully slow death, which is something that can really mess with your head.

Since that day, I’ve had little desire to do much of anything. Except play hockey, that is. Because that is the one place where the bad memories are banished and I can escape my pain.

But off the ice, I’m spiraling out of control. Losing the grip on my life and putting myself and my career in danger. Now, thanks to a string of bad decisions, I’ve been ordered to complete therapy in order to stay on the team.

The problem? Nora Wayne, my beautiful and somewhat unconventional therapist. I can’t buy into the brand of happy clappy crap this woman is feeding me. What could she possibly understand about the type of loss that I’ve suffered? How does she know anything about finding happiness after losing the most important person in your life?

Turns out, I’ve got a lot to learn, and she’s just the person I need to break through those walls I’ve erected.

I am not okay.
But for the first time in a long time, I know that I will be.

Michel’s Review

I have to admit I am late to the Arizona Vengeance Series. I started this series over the summer when I had more reading time. I can honestly say this series did not disappoint and I loved it just as much as I loved the Cold Fury series.

Tacker Hall is one of the characters throughout the series that has kept the readers intrigued. They wanted to know his story because of his guilt over a plane crash he was piloting. Hockey has been the only thing he has managed to hang onto. Extreme guilt, poor decisions, and spiraling out of control has put his career on the line. Confronting his emotions and dealing with his guilt are impossible until his new therapist Nora Wayne finds a way to reach him. Her diligence, patience, and optimism are what gains his trust enough to break through his steely walls of guilt and despair.

Once the door is open, nothing can stop Tacker from finding the strength to forgive himself and open up to love. Nora is there for him with open arms and healing love.

Nothing can describe this incredible story because the emotions displayed throughout this book is moving. I honestly believe every person can relate to Tacker and Nora in some capacity. Sawyer Bennett delivered more than a story her readers were waiting for. She delivered the sunshine this series needed.  I cannot express how much I loved this story and Tacker. Sawyer Bennett is a truly gifted writer who I have always said has a magical pen. She has stepped above and beyond her gifted talent! She gave Tacker the happily ever after he deserved.

***

My estranged twin brother, Julian, was always the wonder boy—and soon-to-be CEO of our ruthless father’s corporation. My mother and me? Left behind. Now, years after tearing our family apart, my father dares to ask me for a favor? Pretend to be Julian while he fights to survive a tragic accident. It can save the company. Nobody will be the wiser. It’ll be our secret.

I can play Dad’s favorite. I’ll do it for Julian. And for my mother, who’ll want for nothing.

But this double life comes with a beauty of a hitch: my very real feelings for Julian’s fiancée, Isobel. Not only am I betraying Julian, I’m deceiving a woman I love. She doesn’t suspect a thing. As lies compound, lines are crossed and loyalties tested, all I can ask myself is…what have I done?

Because sooner or later something’s got to give. There’s no way I’m giving up Isobel. But once the truth is exposed, it might not be my choice at all.

Michel’s Review

When I read the blurb for Stealing Her by Rachel Van Dyken , I knew I had to read this book. I love books about twins switching places and finding their siblings lives are anything but what they anticipated. I was immediately drawn into the story.

Bridge and Julian are twin brothers who always shared everything until their parents decided to divorce. While one grows up working several jobs to make ends meet while taking care of their mother, the other is living a life of luxury with a beautiful fiancé, a successful career, and plenty of wealth. Bridge learned what it means to have to earn every penny while Julian enjoyed a life of entitlement and ease. When Julian is in a serious car accident and on life support their father convinces Bridge to step into his life and take over his career. He promises to pay their mother’s medical bills. He needs Bridge to take over so the company doesn’t suffer because of Julian’s accident. Although Bridge is reluctant and resentful, he is also practical. He will do what needs to be done.

Stepping into his brother’s life was more difficult than he anticipated. Running a billion dollar company is even harder. Being near his father is worse than he imagined. Julian’s life is much more complex and difficult than it appeared. Can he let go of all his resentment and do what is best for his entire family? Can he deceive Izzy without hurting her, himself, or his brother?

Twists, turns, and no escape from an impossible situation are only the beginning. There is no easy way out for anyone. Rachel Van Dyken wrote a complex story loaded with angst and depth of emotions.  This story was a bit darker and much more complex than most of her books. This book did not have the fun, fluffy banter, or comedic feel, it was intricately woven with intrigue, mystery, and emotional passages.

I couldn’t stop thinking about Stealing Her by Rachel Van Dyken after I had finished the book. This book has taken her writing to another level and proves how talented she truly is. I can’t wait to see what comes next in the Covet series!
