I lost everything, including custody of my kids.
My father disowned me, just like my sister before me.
Fortunately, one of my brothers took me into his home.
I’m picking up the pieces, learning to handle my grandmother’s bakery…
And dealing with my brother’s best friend.
Henrik Tremblay is grumpy, infuriating, and too handsome for my broken heart.
It’s impossible to avoid him in this small town.
And when my grandmother pushes us to organize the annual love festival. . . I get the feeling only one of us will come out of this alive.

Theo Cavendish is the second son of a British viscount, and he’s spent years running from the aristocratic world he grew up in. Betrayal and loss taught him lessons he’s not quick to forget. As an award-winning screenwriter and creator, Theo prefers to throw himself into the world of film and television. He moves from one project to another, never really letting anyone truly know him.
As a housekeeper at the exclusive Ardnoch Estate, shy Sarah McCulloch feels invisible most days. No one really knows her, and they definitely don’t know she’s a bestselling crime writer. She dreams of seeing her series on screen and believes only one person can develop it for television. On the day she quits the estate for good, she shares her secret with club member, Theo, and asks him to consider her books.
Sarah never expected him to say yes or to show up on her doorstep ready to write with her. Or that weeks spent locked up in her cottage would lead them to form an intense but undeniable connection. A bond that Theo is not sure he’s ready to accept, even though he can’t bear to be without her.
However, when they finally venture out of their bubble, Theo finds he’ll have to battle more than his own demons to protect Sarah from hurt. For he has another fan, one intent on bringing the darkest elements of his most famous script to life. And unless he can figure out this real-life antagonist’s next move, Theo could be in danger of losing Sarah forever.

Welcome to my absolute favorite book yet in the Highlands series from author Samantha Young. THROUGH THE GLEN is romantic suspense done well, with a plot that drew me in from the very beginning and an unlikely couple that had me rooting for them from the go.
Sarah McCulloch has grown so much from the earlier books in the series, and it’s evident even from the very start of this book. She’s got a whole life that very few know about, and the fact that she can throw Mr. Theo Cavendish for a loop is one of my favorite things about their story. She has developed both self-knowledge and self-worth, thanks in large part to her beloved grandfather and cousin, and I truly appreciate that she is able to set boundaries and stick with them as her relationship with Theo progresses.
I adore Theo. Did I think he was a smarmy so and so before this book? Yes, yes I did. Did I fall absolutely in love with him during the course of this book, finding him to be one of my favorite of Samantha’s male characters ever? Again, yes.
The chemistry between Sarah and Theo is no less steamy for it being a bit of a slow burn. The evolution of them from co-creators to couple is not without trouble, but I think that this is what makes it sweeter and more satisfying to me as a reader. And seeing them come fully into themselves by the end of the book had this romance lover doing a happy dance. I have thoroughly enjoyed each book in The Highlands series, but Theo and Sarah hold a special place in my heart.
Next up in the series is Jared McCulloch’s and Allegra Howard’s book, SKIES OVER CALEDONIA, and I can hardly wait. In the meantime, make sure to get caught up with Sarah and Theo. I guarantee, you will love them. Happy Reading. ❤️

From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes an all-new small-town series set in Montana, starting with WILD FOR YOU, an Age-Gap, Single Dad, Nanny, Grumpy/Sunshine romance!
Remington Wild is a single dad of two adorable kids, and as the oldest son of the Wild family, has recently taken over the Wild River Ranch from his father. Life is crazy, and he’s finally willing to admit that he needs help, and the sooner the better. He has no idea that the beautiful woman he sees every day at Bitterroot Valley Coffee Co. is the woman who would show up for the job.
Erin Montgomery couldn’t get out of Seattle fast enough. It’s not that she doesn’t love her big, loud family, but living in the big city just wasn’t for her. The minute she stepped foot in Bitterroot Valley, she knew she was home. She loves the slower pace, the friendly people, and her job at the coffee shop. Even the smoking hot grumpy guy who stops in every afternoon can’t put a damper on how much she loves small town life!
Thanks to car trouble, and her stubbornness when it comes to using her trust fund, Erin needs a second job and applies for the position of a part-time nanny. She’s surprised to find that it’s Grumpy himself who answers the door at the ranch, but Erin quickly learns that she loves his kids and the ranch, and it’s a no-brainer to take the job. She just has to remind herself to resist the sexy rancher and keep it strictly professional.
Remington is attracted to his younger nanny, and finds himself falling headfirst in love with her. He and his kids have never been happier, and he knows she is the perfect addition to their family for as long as she’s willing to stay. Hopefully forever.
But when secrets are exposed, one of which endangers his children, will their love survive? Or will it tear them apart?

I was super-excited when Kristen Proby let readers know that she was starting a new series based in her home state of Montana. First of all, if Kristen writes it, I’m going to read it, but the fact that these books are set in a place that she loves so much and also has a bit of crossover with the Montgomerys of Seattle, well, the deal was sealed.
WILD FOR YOU, the first book in The Wilds of Montana series, is everything that I was expecting and more. I knew that I would love this new world, but I was not prepared for just how much I would love it. Heck, I was all in from the teaser, and once I started reading, I could not put it down.
I have always appreciated that Kristen writes heroines that are strong, smart, and self-confident. There’s just something about seeing a woman that is not afraid to live life on her terms. And, well, it’s no secret that the men in her books are strong, supportive, and fully focused on family, and that is sexy as all get out. Age gap romances are not always my favorite, but Kristen is, and she has written the love story between Remington Wild and Erin Montgomery in a way that is organic and natural, steamy yet sweet, and just right.
I am totally gone on the Wilds, from the siblings to their parents, to the cutest and most precocious kids ever, and I could not be happier that Kristen has decided to focus on this series and give us more books in the very near future. Whether you’ve been reading Kristen from the beginning, or are a new fan, make sure that the Wilds are on your radar. Happy Reading! ❤️

I’d wanted to be a lawyer. But life was tough with a curious two-year-old, even if my mom and dad and sister and all the aunties and uncles and cousins pitched in to help me out. I needed to keep my nose clean. And I needed to stay away from Darius Tucker. Everyone told me he’d turned to the dark side. However, I thought it was time. It was time he shook himself out of this garbage. It was time he learned he had a child and had to step up. It was time three years ago, but I’d been young and scared and hurt, so I’d made an emotional decision and my parents had stepped in to support and protect me. Off I went to Fort Collins. Now I was back. So, yeah. It was time.

From USA Today and Amazon Bestselling Author Laura Pavlov, comes a new Small Town, Enemies to Lovers, Standalone Sports Romance in the brand new Magnolia Falls Series.
Demi Crawford was Magnolia Falls royalty.
I was the boxer from the wrong side of the tracks.
She was the epitome of everything good, while I was broody and rebellious.
We couldn’t be more different.
Her family was enemy number one which made her guilty by association.
I despised her before I even knew her.
It was easier that way.
But now she’d moved in next door to me, and she was everywhere I turned.
I couldn’t avoid her no matter how hard I tried.
She was beautiful and honest and sweet.
Everything I knew I shouldn’t want.
Shouldn’t need.
They say there’s a fine line between love and hate—and I don’t know when I crossed over.
I was so wrapped up in this girl I couldn’t see straight.
She was the right hook I never saw coming.
Hating her was supposed to be my end game.
Loving her… well, that was just the beginning.
But the secrets that lived between us threatened to tear us apart.
Lucky for her—I was a born fighter.
And she was definitely worth the fight.

I finally jumped on the Laura Pavlov train, and it was the perfect time to do so. LOVING ROMEO, the first book in Laura’s new Magnolia Falls series, a sports romance, with plenty of passion and suspense thrown in, had me all in from the very first page, and so glad that I added this book to my collection.
I’m not always a fan of new adult romance, being that I am a woman of a certain age, but Laura has really done such a great job of developing a storyline that kept me completely engaged, and of creating a place and characters that I became immediately invested in. I have a feeling that I am going to be reading and loving her books for a very long time.
Despite it’s title, LOVING ROMEO is much more than a burgeoning love story. Family, commitment, the relationships between people from different walks of life and different generations, all of these things made this such an engaging read for me. And I have to tell you that a certain young man with a memorable nickname totally stole the show on more than one occasion.
I absolutely cannot wait to see what’s ahead for the folks of Magnolia Falls. Whether you are a seasoned fan, or, like me, a newbie to Laura’s books, LOVING ROMEO is one that I highly recommend that you add to your TBR. Happy Reading! ❤️
