They fall in love with each other over wings and beer. But before he can get her number, she leaves and takes his heart with her.
As luck would have it, he runs into her a few days later. She’s still as beautiful as ever, with a sizable bruise on her face and defeat haunting her eyes.
He tries to break through her walls, but she’s adamant that she can make it on her own.
Until, that is, her abusive father threatens her baby girl. Then she has no other choice but to run into a blizzard on Christmas Eve to escape him. And she knows just where to go.
To him. Jeremiah Dixon—the man that her heart and soul know is the one meant to fix all the broken things inside of her.

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! ❤️

Quiet Longing by L.H. Cosway is now live!

When she agreed to spend her last summer before college at her cousins’ house in Ireland, Charli Moretti never expected to meet anyone like Rhys Doyle. He was the first boy to ever make her heart flutter, and though their lives followed different paths after that fateful summer, she always remembered him as her first everything.

Sixteen years later, after a tumultuous divorce from her abusive husband, Charli is returning to Ireland a shell of the woman she once was. Life has tried to break her many times over, and now all she wants is a fresh start and an even keel. She’ll be working as an accountant at her uncle’s hotel, but what she doesn’t know is that Rhys Doyle works there, too. He’s the head of security, in fact, and he’s no longer the teenage boy she once knew.

With the rumors flying around that he and his fiancée just broke off their engagement, Charli decides it’s best to give Rhys his space. She knows personally how hard it can be when a relationship ends. The problem is, she can’t seem to stop running into him, and the more she gets to know the man he’s become the more those old feelings start to return.

Tracey’s Review

Although I am not generally a fan of new adult romance, I do love a good second chance romance, and Ms. Cosway delivers a lovely one in this story. Full of passion, both youthful and then a more mature one, QUIET LONGING is a story of growth and of characters discovering their strength and resilience by traveling difficult paths to get to a place of peace.

It’s hard not to like both Rhys and Charli immediately. Their youthful selves are so sweet, Rhys more reserved, and Charli wide open, drawn to each other in a summer of firsts that will leave them with years of memories. As it goes in life, they each go through many changes, growing into adults that are very different from that long ago summer.

When circumstance brings the two into each others’ orbit once again, and old feelings are revived, the road back to who and what they once were to each other seems insurmountable at times. But with patience and time, their lives blossom in ways that they could hardly have hoped.

QUIET LONGING is my first book by author L.H. Cosway, and as first reads go, it’s a good one. I was quickly completely invested in Rhys’ and Charli’s story, the beauty and the angst and the passion of it making for a book that I could not put down. Ms. Cosway’s ability to paint a story that I could completely visualize, filled with characters and places that speak to the heart, made for a story that I will not forget soon. QUIET LONGING is an easy recommendation, a story that will pull at your heartstrings and leave you longing for the next chapter in this journey.

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. ❤️

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Rockstar/15-Year Age Gap/Small Town
Found Family/Slow Burn/Forbidden
Release Date: August 26, 2024
BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE novel…

No one but me knew why I was actually in the California desert that day.
Nestled deep within the desolate, rocky area was a recording studio.
When a door suddenly opened, a man mistook me for someone he was supposed to be interviewing for a job.
The next thing I knew, I was whisked inside.
The position? An assistant on the upcoming tour for one of America’s most famous rock bands.
Pretty exciting opportunity for a twenty-two-year-old, just out of college.
Not surprisingly, I bombed the interview.
When I ended up mistakenly walking into the men’s room on my way out, I struck up a conversation with a stranger—not realizing it was the lead singer, Tristan Daltrey.
He seemed to like the fact that I had no idea who he was, that I saw him as a normal person.
That night, I got a call offering me the job.
So began my complicated story with Tristan.
Millions of women loved him.
Yet for some reason, after the shows, he only wanted to hang out with me.
Late-night talks. Casual dinners in his hotel room.
I wasn’t supposed to be fraternizing with the band’s frontman.
Despite our fifteen-year age difference, Tristan and I had a connection.
But I had a secret.
One that would eventually lead to my leaving the tour.
And one that would lead Tristan and the band straight to the small town where I came from.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely, comes the first standalone hockey romance in her Love and Hockey series, THE BOYFRIEND GOAL! This sexy, teammate’s little sister, roommates-to-lovers, forbidden romance is now available in all formats, and free to read in Kindle Unlimited. Check out the excerpt below, and one-click your copy of this steamy, hockey romance with one hell of a meet-cute today!

A forbidden romance with my brother’s hockey teammate wasn’t on my to-do list when I moved across the country…

Neither was getting locked out of a friend’s place wearing next to nothing.

Or spending the night with the sexy stranger who rescues me.

But I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone so getting out of the rest of my clothes with him seems like a good way to start.

In the morning, I learn the filthy-mouthed man with the talented hands is not only the hotshot new hockey player on my brother’s team: he’s also – wait for it – my brand new roommate.

I’m a good student turned good librarian. A rule-follower. I’m not the kind of girl who does complicated flings. So we agree to another rule: friends-only.

It’s not easy though. Wes is bossy, flirty and generous.

He gives me rides to work.

Pitches in at my library’s fundraiser.

Takes care of me when I get hurt.

And looks at me like I’m the only one.

Soon, I’m falling hard for my brother’s teammate.

Especially when Wes comes to my door and tells me exactly how he’d like to break our rules.

Every single one.

EXCERPT:

Josie: Nice turnaround.

I smile stupidly against the dark window, so no one can see how I look right now. The glass is cool, but I’m warm everywhere. I don’t want to talk about me with Josie. Not with my teammates around. And honestly, not that much in general. I want to talk about her.  

Wesley: It was. But what are you up to? Also, it’s late. Go to bed.

Josie: That’s where I am.

Josie: Here’s your proof of bed.

She sends a picture of the lower half of the bed. Her legs are clearly under the covers. A paperback sits on the white cover. Zooming in, I read the title. Someone Else’s Ring.

Wesley: New book. Does this mean you finished the thriller? The Woman In The Hotel?

Josie: I did and the thrill was thrilling.

Wesley: How’s this one?

Josie: It reads like you f*&k.

Forget warm. I’m red hot under the collar of my dress shirt, remembering the words she wrote on hotel stationery more than a month ago. He f*&ked like a page turner that you didn’t want to put down. 

Is it just me or is Josie getting…naughtier? Bolder? More brazen? Pretty sure it’s not just me – it’s her, turning up the heat. 

I’m feeling the burn in the dark of the quiet jet, streaking across the sky. Here, it’s like no man’s land, free of consequences, devoid of risks. A place where we can flirt because of the miles between us. So I tap out a reply

Wesley: Bet I still “read” like that.

Josie: You’d keep me up all night?

Wesley: Like a page turner, Josie. Like a f*&king page turner.

THE BOSS + THE MAID = CHEMISTRY

Louise Bay

Release Date: August 8

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

  

A grumpy. reclusive New York billionaire meets his match in the maid who makes his

bed (in more ways than one).

When an older guy with a dirty grin and an expensive suit flirts with me from the next

barstool, I don’t realize I’m about to have a one-night stand with the man I desperately want

to work for.

After a night that leaves my world (and body) shaken, I start my summer job housekeeping in

a five-star hotel even though I’m determined to kickstart my career in tech. As I dust and

polish the Park Suite, in walks Mr. Dirty Grin—now with an icy glare.

Why is the man from last night who was so charming (and good with his tongue) so furious

this morning? As I piece together the puzzle, I discover the guest in the Park Suite is none

other than Ben Fort, the reclusive tech mogul I want to work for.

Ben has kept his identity hidden for years and he wants to know how I figured him out

overnight.

As he questions me, I don’t waste time telling him he’s a (super-hot) grump who needs to

lighten up—and give me a job.

I don’t want to sleep my way to the top, and he doesn’t trust me. But neither of us can resist

the sizzling sparks that fly every time I fluff his pillows.

Tracey’s Review
After meeting Efa in Doctor Single Dad, the last book in The Doctors series by author Louise Bay, I was excited to see her get her own story. We already knew that she was smart, and set to head off on an American adventure, and Louise does not disappoint. THE BOSS + THE MAID + CHEMISTRY is signature Louise, and the perfect segue from The Doctors into this new group of characters.

Ben Fort is doing his best to hide in plain sight, but leave it to Efa, who wants nothing more on earth than to work for him, to out his secret in no time at all. This should alert Ben to the fact that life as he knows it is about to change, but sometimes it takes a while to figure out that you’ve met your match.

Efa and Ben are actually perfect together, and I enjoyed reading their story so much. Their banter, the way that they grow together, and yes, the steam factor, make me want to see more of them. As well, Ben has his guy friend group, which is something that Louise does well, and that I’ve always enjoyed in her books. As always after reading one of Louise’s books, I’m already ready for the next one, and can’t wait to get Leo’s story in THE PLAY + THE PACT = I DO. In the meantime, snap this one up and enjoy! ❤️

Meet Louise Bay

 International, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author, Louise Bay writes contemporary romance novels that make you laugh – the kind she likes to read.

Ruined by the bonk-busters of the eighties, Louise was inspired by Judith Krantz and Jackie Collins, but wants to be Emily Henry when she grows up.

Louise loves the rain, RHOBH, London, days when she doesn’t have to wear make-up, hanging out with her kid, elephants and champagne (not necessarily in that order).

She loves to hear from readers so get in touch!

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! ❤️

New Release + Release Blitz: The Bodyguard and the Bombshell by Lexi Blake

The Bodyguard and the Bombshell by Lexi Blake is now live!

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lexi Blake comes a new story in her Masters and Mercenaries series…

The Bodyguard…

Nate Carter left Australia’s elite SASR unit after a tragic accident. Shattered by the experience, he thought taking a job in the States might be a good way to start over. His father’s former employer, McKay-Taggart, has a position for him in the bodyguard unit. He never imagined himself risking his life for celebrities and the wealthy, but it will do for now. It will also give him a chance to reconnect with old friends, including the girl who’d been like a little sis to him ten years before.

These days, however, his feelings for Daisy O’Donnell are anything but brotherly.

The Bombshell…

Daisy O’Donnell is a girl on a mission, and it does not include falling for one of her brother’s best friends. She has plans, and while chaos always seems to follow her, she’s determined to see this through. Daisy finds herself in need of a bodyguard when a job goes terribly wrong. She’s sure her dad will find someone suitable, but she didn’t expect a big, gloriously masculine Aussie to show up ready to take a bullet for her. Maybe spending some time with Nate Carter won’t be so bad after all.

An explosive match…

Thrown together by danger, Nate and Daisy can’t resist the insane chemistry between them. But when his past and her present collide, they must decide if they can hold it together or go their separate ways forever.

**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.**
