Claudia Burgoa

Release Dates May 6

USA TODAY Bestselling Author Claudia Burgoa brings the conclusion of the Impossible Possible duet with The Truth About Us.

Every night, I find myself caught between dreams and wakefulness.

Yearning for a past that slips through my fingers.

Each night, whisper prayers into the darkness.

Longing for just one kiss, one more touch . . .

Longing for her.

Maybe forever is a lie.

The truth is that tragedy will always break your heart.

But maybe, this time, I can build something greater out of tragedy.

Maybe . . . just maybe love isn’t as lost as I once thought.

And maybe forever might still happen to me.

The final book in the Impossible Possible duet examines grief, loss, and ultimate love put to the test.

Posted on 04/11/2024 by cafemamanc7

DR. SINGLE DAD

Louise Bay

Release Date: April 11

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

Unexpected fatherhood, a newborn daughter and a nanny in the next bedroom he can’t stop fantasizing about.

When a one-night stand announces I just became a father to a baby girl, my world is thrown into turmoil.

My choice: single fatherhood or sign adoption papers.

The decision is easy.

Within hours, I’m on a plane to collect my daughter.

I’m in over my head. I barely know one end of a baby from the other. Luckily, I have the perfect plan. I’ll hire live-in help, have limited involvement with the kid, and keep my life just the same as it’s always been.

I finally find a nanny who lives up to my exacting standards. But the only problem is, every time I look at her, the future I thought I wanted starts to crumble.

Nothing in my life is going according to plan… and the wriggling poo machine in my arms is unexpectedly worming her way into my heart.

Life was ordered and logical until I got myself two roommates and started falling in love with both of them.

A standalone romance.

Tracey’s Review

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. I have to say, seeing Dax Cove as a doting dad, well, that didn’t seem like it was in the cards for this hardworking and dedicated research doctor. But life has a way of turning us on our ear when we least expect it, doesn’t it?

I really enjoyed Dax’s and Eira’s story from the get go. Eira working her nanny magic (Mary Poppins, indeed) and encouraging a deeply devoted relationship between Dax and his little Guinevere before he realizes what’s happening (also, how can you NOT love a research doc that is also a fan of Arthurian legend?) , Dax falling for both Guenevire and Eira, the slow burn between Dax and Eira, the Cove family and all of their love and support and humor, made DR. SINGLE DAD another favorite from Louise.

This series has been easy to love, and while I’m happy that all of the Cove brothers got their happily ever afters, I’m sorry that we’ve run out of doctors to read about. But, I have no doubt that Louise has plenty more wonderful tales to tell, and I can’t wait to read them. In the meantime, I absolutely recommend this series, and have no doubt that readers will love them as much as I do. ❤️

New Release + Release Blitz: Ashes of You by Catherine Cowles

Posted on 02/08/2024 by cafemamanc7

❤️ ASHES OF YOU IS LIVE ❤️

Get ready to fall for Lawson and Hallie in their single dad, age gap, nanny, small town romance, from USA Today Bestselling Author, Catherine Cowles!

Five years ago, I nearly lost everything. But there was a glimmer of hope on that darkest night. There was him—a stranger I could never forget.

Now, I’m finally getting the fresh start I’ve longed for. But when I show up to interview for a nanny position in the small mountain town, the single dad has startlingly familiar blue eyes.

Eyes that have haunted my dreams for the past five years.

Lawson Hartley is everything I know I can’t have. Older, handsome, and my boss. Not to mention the shadows in his eyes that tell me he has demons, too.

Still, he seems to understand me better than anyone I’ve ever met. So gentle and careful of my scars, yet somehow making me believe I’m stronger than I ever thought possible.

And when his lips touch mine, I’m lost.

We find what we’ve been missing in each other. But the terrors of my past aren’t done with me yet, and this time, Lawson might not be able to save me…

Tracey’s Review

Y’all, this book. THIS BOOK. It’s no secret that I absolutely love author Catherine Cowles and her books. After the way she thrilled my romance-loving heart with Roan’s and Aspen’s story in SHADOWS OF YOU, I wasn’t sure how Lawson Hartley’s tale was going to unfold, or whether it would speak to me in the same way (spoiler: it SO does). You guys, this book is everything.

Age-gap is not always my favorite, but I could not have loved Lawson and Hallie together more. They are perfect for each other, and seeing the eldest Hartley happy at last warms me to my very heart. And, as always, the family support, the friendships and love, the sense of community, all make this trip to Cedar Ridge feel like coming home.

Whether you’re a longtime fan of Catherine’s or new to her books, do NOT miss this one. If you haven’t met the Hartleys yet, you can binge read the whole series, and you absolutely should. But save some space in your heart for Law and Hallie, because they are beautiful magic. ❤️

Sable Peak by Devney Perry is now live!

An unrequited love, small town romance from Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author, Devney Perry.

He’s handsome. Charming. Witty. And he loves his family the way Vera loves—with her whole heart.

Maybe he’ll never notice her. Maybe she’s too damaged, too broken, to find that normal life she craves. Maybe her secrets will always keep them apart. But Vera will love him anyway. Whether Mateo realizes it or not.

New Release + Release Blitz: The Stand-In by Kristen Proby

The Stand-In by Kristen Proby is now live!

From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes THE STAND-IN, the newest novel in her beloved Single in Seattle series, featuring Drew Montgomery!

I don’t like my new boss. Not at all.

London Ambrose is a spoiled billionaire’s daughter. And now she’s the new co-owner of the Seattlefootball team,but that doesn’t mean that she knows diddly squat about football.

There’s nothing I hate more than having someone micromanaging me, shadowing my every move, and giving me their two cents on Every. Little. Thing. as I coach MY defensive line.

I don’t care about new team jerseys and branding or answering her million and one questions about how I do my job. But, I can’t help but come to her defense when an old flame shows up and starts harassing her. I’m a Montgomery. We don’t let anyone mess with women.

Now, I’m suddenly in a fake relationship, pretending to date the gorgeous billionaire and learning so many surprising things about this captivating woman that I just can’t seem to stay away from her.

When the lines between our fake relationship and real relationship blur, and my initial distaste for her turns into desire, I find myself coaching the most important game of my life – do I let my guard down or do I let London Ambrose walk away forever?

Tracey’s Review

I loved the parents, and I’m loving the kids! Kristen Proby’s Single In Seattle series is a much-loved continuation of the With Me In Seattle series, and I remember why these characters and their stories are some of my most favorite ever with each subsequent book. Every visit is like reconnecting with much-loved family members or close friends, and I am so happy that Kristen decided to keep the family love going strong.

I knew right away that I was going to love Drew, because I have long adored his father and mother, and none of the Montgomery clan raised a kid that isn’t awesome. Drew is down to earth, honest, and loving, and just what London and Caleb need to show them the true meaning of family, acceptance, and unconditional love.

One of my favorite things about Kristen is that she writes strong women, women who are secure in who they are and who are living their lives on their terms. London is all of these things, demonstrating that it is possible to be a savvy businesswoman and a mother, that giving equal time to her family in no way keeps her from kicking but in the business world, and that her softness with Drew doesn’t mean that she cannot hold her own in the workplace. She and Drew are a true power couple in every way, and it’s really nice to see.

It never feels like enough time with these characters, so I cannot wait for the next visit to Seattle in THE SOULMATE, Liam’s and Bianca’s book. And can I just say that the glimpse that we get of her upcoming series, the Wilds of Montana, has me doing the happy dance.? There is so much goodness coming our way, and I am so excited. If by some chance you have not started this series, now is the time. Jump in, fall in love (because I know that you will!), and enjoy. ❤️

New Release + Release Blitz + 4.5 Star Review: Don’t Forget Me Tomorrow by A.L. Jackson

Posted on 10/05/2023 by cafemamanc7

Don’t Forget Me Tomorrow by A.L. Jackson is now live!

When my best friend’s little sister walks in on me moaning her name, it’s all over. All restraints are shattered, and every boundary demolished. Nothing will be the same…

For years, I’ve tried to keep my distance from Dakota Cooper. She’s everything I’ve ever wanted and the one thing I can’t have.

But when she calls me in the middle of the night after someone tries to break into her house, I can no longer handle that distance, and I convince her to stay with me, along with her young son.

I should have known having her living under my roof would push me to the edge. Ignite the need that has simmered for so long.

The problem is, she’s forbidden. Off-limits. And I know better than crossing that line.
I can’t drag her into the dark secrets of my life.

But I can’t stay away from her either, so I do the one thing I shouldn’t—I take.
And now that I’ve had her, I’m not sure I can save her from who I am. . .

What to expect in Don’t Forget Me Tomorrow…
*Brother’s best friend
*Small town romance
*Secret past
*Pierced MC
*Touch her and die vibes

Tracey’s Review

I knew that this book was going to do me in from the first page. That Amy would make Dakota’s and Ryder’s story one that would steal, break, and rebuild my heart and leave me a complete and utter mess in the process. And I was not wrong.

How could we help but see that Ryder and Dakota were soul mates, from first to last, no matter what? That no matter what forces conspired to keep them apart, they were meant to be, and that a man that appears to be all hard edges and a woman whose softness belies her strength were the missing piece that the other needed?

No one writes romantic suspense quite like Amy does. The grittiness, the danger, the passion that all lead, always, to a beautiful end. And she is totally pulling out all of the stops with the Time River series, delivering two amazing books that I could not put down, and that will stay with me for a very long time. At this rate, I’m not sure that I’ll recover from Ezra’s book, but I cannot wait to see what she’s got for us. If you haven’t read these books, you are totally missing out. Make room for them on your TBR. You will not be sorry. ❤️

It’s on her hundredth consecutive workday that her sister stages an intervention, kicking Lyla out of her own coffee shop. With nothing else to do, Lyla sets out on her favorite hiking trail.

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.

New Release + Release Blitz: Fated by Carly Phillips

Posted on 06/02/2023 by cafemamanc7

FATED

Carly Phillips

Release Date: June 2

He used to crush on her best friend.

How can he convince her falling for him won’t crush her heart?

Though Nick Mancini flirts with her like it’s his second job, Kate Andrews tries to ignore the sexy construction worker. How could he be interested in her? Not that long ago, he was in love with Kate’s best friend, Faith. His muscled body and sexy dimples are hard to resist, but Kate refuses to be anyone’s rebound girl. Been there, done that, burned the road map.

Trouble is, Kate does believe love at first sight. But it has to be a two-way street, and she’s convinced she and Nick are destined to crash and burn.

Nick can pinpoint the exact moment he gave up on Faith, and really saw Kate for the first time. He’d ticked her off and she’d been seriously angry. He’d looked right into those flashing green eyes, and he was a goner. He’s pretty sure Kate feels the same way, but despite their off-the-charts chemistry, she rejects him at every turn.

But Nick is nothing if not persistent and the longing looks she sneaks his way don’t lie. She wants him, too. For Nick to break through Kate’s barriers, he’ll have to throw out the original blueprint and come up with a whole new plan. One that takes him off guard and cements their future.

Note: Fated was previously published under the same title by NYT bestselling author Carly Phillips. Contains a middle school English teacher who never makes the same mistake twice, and a hunky construction worker who understands every possible definition of the word nailed. Enjoy!

EXCERPT

“Banks!” Ashley calls, stopping me in my tracks.

“What?” I groan and face her again. “Call someone else. Whatever it is, call someone else to help her. I’ll even pay for it. It’ll be cheaper than the therapy I’ll have to endure after seeing her.”

“She needs help.”

I cross my arms over my chest. “Oh, I know that. I rode with her all the way to Orlando and back to pick up someone’s shit when they moved in with Maddox.”

She sighs.

I sigh back at her.

We watch one another. Neither of us says a word. But Sara? Sara says lots of words, many of which can be heard through the phone dangling in Ashley’s hand from across the room.

If Sara had called and asked for my help, I wouldn’t answer. The woman is hell on wheels. She’s headstrong and thinks she knows everything. Her aversion to physical labor is astounding.

If I’m water, she’s oil—oil that hasn’t been changed in a hundred-thousand miles. And I’m basically holy water, so it’s a no-go.

But it’s not Sara who’s asking for my help. It’s Ashley. And Ashley is family.

Oh, fuck my life.

I blow out a long, hasty breath.

“I’ll let you come over for dinner tomorrow, too,” Ashley says, luring me in with her fluttery lashes.

Still, I hold strong and think it through.

Even if I put up an argument and do my best to resist her pleas for help, I’ll give in. Arguing will only delay the inevitable. At worst, Ashley will call Maddox, and he’ll call me, asking me to go. And I can’t say no to Maddox because he never says no to me.

Except for the spiders.

“Three dinners,” I say. “And movie nights with you guys every Saturday for a month.”

She grins and thrusts the phone my way.

I take it, glaring at her. It only makes her giggle.

I sigh again, just to set the stage. Can’t let Sara think I’m happy about this.

“Hi, giant pain in the ass,” I say.

“Thinking about my ass again, I see.”

This is gonna suck.
