Rhythm is a Heartbeat by L.H. Cosway is now live!

Shannon Guerin is an ordinary single mother–except for the fact that her ex-husband is the lead singer of a world famous rock band.
Shannon and Jace were childhood sweethearts. They divorced when his drug addiction destroyed their marriage, but that was years ago. Now he’s in recovery and has just come off a yearlong tour. His band is going on hiatus, which means Jace is going to be around a whole lot more for their daughter, Zara. What Shannon doesn’t know is that Jace never stopped loving her and has a secret plan to win her back.
While Shannon has tried to convince herself to move on, she’s never fully gotten over her ex. Jace is determined to prove that he deserves her trust again even though he knows it won’t come easy.
When someone begins impersonating Jace online and scamming his fans, he and Shannon grow closer in their quest to find the culprit. The bond they once shared sparks to life, but old hurts take time to heal. Jace is patient and prepared to make amends for the pain he caused in the past. He will go the distance for the one and only woman who ever captured his heart.


Rhythm is a Heartbeat is a Six of Hearts next generation novel, starring Jay and Matilda’s son, Jace. It can be read as a standalone romance.

Tracey’s Review

Having started reading L.H. Cosway with her Quiet Love series, RHYTHM IS A HEARTBEAT is the first time meeting the Fields family, but you can bet that I’ll be diving into that backlist ASAP. I am an absolute sucker for a second-chance romance, and L.H. has given us one heck of one with this book.

Jace Fields has a great redemption arc, not only with his family and fans, but most especially with his estranged wife and greatest love, Shannon Guerin. I’m not sure how Shannon kept her distance for as long as she did, because Jace is a man on a mission, and convincing her that he’s all in and not making his past mistakes again is his top priority.

This is an author that does world building really well, and RHYTHM IS A HEARTBEAT is no exception. The pacing, the characters, the suspense woven in with the romance, all make for a terrific read, and all of the pieces come together in the end to create a story that I did not want to end. Longtime fans and new readers alike will enjoy this book, and I can’t wait to see what comes next in this world.

Forced Proximity, Who Hurt You, Small Town
Release Date: March 10, 2026

Edith “Eddy” Wheeler was having a bad day.

A no good, very bad day.
It’s understandable, really. I mean, there didn’t seem to be anything worse than walking in on your elderly parents doing things no child should ever see. Add into that their proclivities, and Eddy is disgusted and disturbed.
So of course, after seeing the atrocious things her parents—the pastor and pastor’s wife that are supposed to be holy and a teacher of faith—are into, she makes it her life goal to expose them to their masses. The cult-like following her father has will see him for the man he is—an abuser who gets a sick thrill at seeing his girls suffer.
She will no longer allow the people of Sawtooth, Montana, to think that they’re safe when they’re anything but.
That’s where Weaver Grant comes in.
A sexy lineman who climbs poles for a living, has forearms that can break a woman in mind, body, and soul, and a smile that does things deep inside of her that she refuses to acknowledge just yet.
She has a plan.
A really good one, too.
But that plan dies a thousand deaths when she’s attacked by a bear on a hike that she was using to cleanse her soul. She thought she was supposed to be afraid of men, but that rabid bear showed her a new side of herself.
She spends weeks in the hospital, and a certain hot lineman takes it upon himself to see her healthy again. He never leaves her side. He solves all her problems. And he shows her how a real man treats a woman.
But once she’s healed and her world is once again righted, will he have a reason to stay since she no longer needs saving?

She was enraptured by the man they called Romeo the moment that he turned those butterscotch-colored eyes her way.

What wasn’t to love about a big, burly, plaid-wearing lumberjack?
He was tall, gorgeous, and knew how to wield a chainsaw better than Leatherface. He could fell a tree in seconds, had thighs that were as thick as said trees, filled out a pair of Wranglers better than any cowboy ever, and didn’t care that she could operate heavy machinery better than him.
He was everything a girl like Mable could ask for.
The caveat? He was a convicted felon that’d just escaped from prison, faked his death, and ran from his home in Texas to the mountains of Montana.
At first, Mable didn’t know what kind of man he’d been before coming to her small, mountain town. He led Mable into a false sense of security, made her fall madly, deeply, and irrevocably in love with him, and then shocked her by sharing his darkest secret.
Now, she’s left reeling, thinking life couldn’t get more complicated.
Until she finds out her stepmother knows Romeo’s secret and plans to exploit him. To make matters worse, Romeo goes on the run to protect Mable from himself, and she realizes that she has a dark side, too. One that’ll stop at nothing, not even murder, to make sure that he can live free.

Broody. Hot. Intoxicating.

Nastya Semyonov first met Haze at a bar, but for Haze Hopkins, duty calls before either can act on their desires. He’s gone without a glance back, leaving her thinking that maybe all the hot looks were only one-sided.
Fast forward to the next day, Nastya hitches a ride to her car that she left behind the night before, only to run into the same man from last night.
Neither one truly thinks before they act, and they spend a hot fifteen minutes in a fast-food restaurant bathroom before parting ways again.
It’s as she’s walking back to her car that she realizes how badly she’s screwed up.
Because her car is surrounded in police tape, and there’s one very angry man wearing a badge standing in front of it with her name on an arrest warrant for killing a man.
Mistakes were made. Repeatedly.
But Detective Haze Hopkins isn’t complaining.
He was ready to quit, anyway.
Crime pays better.

New Release + Release Blitz + 4.5 Star Review: Forever the Highlands by Samantha Young

Forever the Highlands by Samantha Young is now live!

He’s her brother’s best friend. She’s totally off-limits. But when life takes an unexpected turn, she’s the only one he wants at his side…

Fyfe Moray raised himself. His only real family is his best friend, Lewis Adair. For that reason, Lewis’s sister Eilidh is totally off-limits. Fyfe is in deep denial about their intense attraction. Thankfully, Eilidh is a famous actor living in London while he runs his cyber security company from the Highlands. They’re worlds apart. Until one day, Eilidh reaches out asking for a lifeline and Fyfe can’t bring himself to turn her away.

Acting isn’t what Eilidh Adair expected. As a kid, she wanted to be just like her famous uncles. But the double-edged sword of fame cuts deeper than expected. Afraid to admit she’s made a mistake, Eilidh is spiraling. The only person who knows the truth is Fyfe, but her childhood crush has developed into a love he won’t return. Yet when she comes home intent on starting over, Fyfe can’t seem to stay away. His confused feelings might just be the end of them. Until a woman from Fyfe’s past abandons the baby daughter he never knew he had.

Now a single father, Fyfe needs support. He just never expected Eilidh to be the one he needed most. Fyfe can’t believe how quickly he falls for his child and how rapidly his world view changes. He’s ready to admit the truth: he’s madly in love with his best friend’s sister. And Fyfe’s done wasting time. But someone else believes Eilidh belongs to them. Someone who has been watching her far longer than she realizes. Just when she thinks she might have everything she wants, Eilidh finds herself caught in the crosshairs of a person intent on destroying everything she holds dear.

Tracey’s Review

What a wrap up to this series! Samantha Young has brought all of the heat and heart to FOREVER THE HIGHLANDS, the sixth and final book in The Highlands series. Fyfe’s and Eilidh’s story was a long time coming, but it was totally worth the wait, and I loved every single word.

It’s said that you should write what you know, and Samantha’s books set in the beautiful Highlands of Scotland are a perfect example of this. The characters, the setting, the stories, all paint a beautiful picture of life in this lovely part of the world. I could see the beauty in my mind’s eye, and came to feel like I was a part of this community and the stories that Samantha has woven, which for me is the mark of a really good book.

Fyfe’s and Eilidh’s journey is long, filled with detours and misunderstanding, but in FOREVER THE HIGHLANDS we finally get the ending that I have been hoping for. There is plenty of angst, passion, suspense, and moments that broke and remade this reader’s heart, all of the things that I love. And as an unabashed lover of epilogues, I could not have asked for a better way to end the book and the series.

Although I’ll miss the Highlands and all of these beloved characters, I know that Samantha is going to dazzle with whatever is up next, and I can’t wait. If you haven’t read her books, now is the time! ❤️

From Here to Eternity by A.L. Jackson is now live!

I should have known everything was going to change when she walked into my tattoo shop…

Timid as hell and gorgeous to the extreme. I knew better than even thinking about touching a woman like that.

My life is dangerous.

My calling wicked.

Willing to cross any line to protect the innocent.

I thought I’d never see her again until my little boy tumbled and busted his lip, and I found her working at the doctor’s office.

The woman who’d taken possession of my thoughts.

When it becomes clear she’s in trouble, I offer up a deal.

Twenty questions to earn her trust.

Too bad trusting me is the last thing she should do.

With one kiss, I’m addicted.  With one night, we’re falling into a passion greater than either of us has ever known.

The voices in my head warn I can never keep her. She can’t know the secret life I lead.

Only she’s keeping a secret, too.

And I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe, even if it means losing everything…

Tracey’s Review

And just like that, I am a goner. A.L. Jackson has done it again, created a world and characters that I can’t help but love, a place and a story that drew me in and held me until the very last page. FROM HERE TO ETERNITY is the first book in the new Moonlit Ridge series, and it is exactly the mesmerizing, evocative, emotional read that I have come to expect from Amy.

Amy does an amazing job of creating a family in each of her series, characters drawn together by choice, that would go to any length to support each other. River and his crew radiate the kind of dark strength that make it impossible not to love them, to root for them, to eat up every book until each of them get to their happy.

Charleigh has my heart, a heroine that has gone to the deepest depths of despair, and has had the opportunity to come back to the surface, come back to a kind of love that she had no idea existed, a family that was made for her. And River, understanding the lengths that he’s gone to for the underdogs, for the victims, for the Charleighs of the world, cements him as the hero that we didn’t know we needed.

If you’re a fan of Amy’s books, you will not want to miss this new series, and if romantic suspense is your jam, well, you are definitely in the right place. Run, do not walk, to one-click FROM HERE TO ETERNITY. You will love it. ❤️

Being a twin is great.

 

 
What isn’t great is having the hots for the same woman your twin does.
 
Been there, done that, have the t-shirt.
 
Since Auden Carter made that mistake in his teens, he’d promised himself never to do that to his brother again.
 
Hence why he’s tried so hard to stay away from Maven, the sexy bakery owner that seems to have been put on this planet to tempt him.
 
After months of watching his brother never make a move, Auden’s had enough. He tells his twin to either shit or get off the pot. Only, come to find out, his twin was never on the pot. He’d never had the hots for Maven at all, but her cute little assistant.
 
Unfortunately, at this point, he’d done his level best to appear undesirable to Maven, and had gone out of his way to make it very clear that he wasn’t interested.
 
He has a lot of work to do to convince her that he’s not the guy he’d been acting like for the last few months.
 
Luck is on his side, though, and soon Maven needs his help, giving him the perfect opportunity to worm his way into her life…and her heart.
 
But that help she needs turns into a desperate plea for protection, and all he has to do is quit his beloved job to give it.
It’s not every day that you are in love with your boss’s daughter, who just so happens to be the chief of police of Dallas, Texas—your beloved police department that you’ve worked at for your entire career.
 
It’s also not every day when that boss pulls out every stop, and ruins your life to the point where you’re not sure you can find your way out of the downward spiral he’s forced upon you.
 
There is one thing Auden knows for certain, though. Maven is worth it. He’ll fight the chief of police, or the entire world, putting his life on the line to do it, as long as it keeps her safe.

Tracey’s Review

Having been a diehard romance reader and blogger for so many years now, I cannot believe that it took me such a long time to enter into the fantastical world that is the creative amazingness that is Lani Lynn Vale. I mean, seriously, how one person has so many zany, action-packed, original stories in their head just blows me away, and I do mean every single time. Case in point, CLAP BACK, the 4th book in Lani’s Carter Brothers series.

CLAP BACK is Auden Carter’s and Maven Brumfield’s book, and I absolutely loved it. These Carter boys fall fast and hard, and Auden is no different. He knows that he wants Maven, and that’s what’s happening, whether her father, who is also his boss, is on board or not. Because when one Carter is involved, all of them are, and they are a force to be reckoned with.

Maven’s life has been all kinds of crazy, and things haven’t settled down yet. She’s worked for a long time to get out from under the controlling thumb of her father and brother, and there’s no better help for it than having a whole family of Carters on her side.

The twists and turns and ‘wait, what?!’ moments abound, making CLAP BACK another winner for me. Next up is Atlas and Elliette in RENT FREE, and I can’t wait. If you haven’t met the Carter Brothers (and fam!), what are you waiting for? Grab these gems and get ready to have a blast. Happy reading! ❤️
