I agree to be his fake girlfriend.

He doesn’t realize I’m the girl he left behind ten years ago.

Sweet Collide, an all-new fake relationship, hockey romance from USA Today bestselling author Ava Harrison is now available!

Aiden Slate.

Pro hockey star. Captain of the Redville Saints. And the bane of my existence.

All it takes is a little liquid courage to storm his castle.

Or, in this case, a cushy five-star hotel suite.

I’m supposed to give him a piece of my mind.

To unleash a decade of pent-up anger.

What I’m not supposed to do is sign an NDA meant for another woman.

He thinks I’m here to relieve his stress.

Well, he’s in for a rude awakening.

Problem #1? The boy I grew up with doesn’t remember me.

Problem #2? I fall to my knees at his command. Literally.

Next thing I know, I agree to be his fake girlfriend.

He doesn’t realize I’m the girl he left behind ten years ago.

The last thing I’ll do is admit it.

Because Aiden might have abandoned me all those years ago.

But me? I’ll forever be his.

My Review...

Oh my me, Ms. Harrison brings all the swoons and all the heart in this newest story.

A sports romance that is much more, it’s more than the sport of hockey, it’s a story of how your past can sometimes define you and how your past can cripple you if you let it.

This is the story of Cassidy and Aiden, this is the story of Pippa and Slate. Two kids that were drawn together by their commonalities, and torn from each other when a bright future comes calling.

Years later, they are brought back together in a meet-cute that will melt your e-reader. 

I loved the fact that both Cassidy and Aiden are flawed, they are not perfect, but their sharp edges and hardened hearts fit together so perfectly.

I hope Ms. Harrison will give some of the secondary characters their own stories in the future. I will be rooting hard for them!

There’s no denying the spark between them.

Cold Hearted Casanova, an all-new forced proximity, opposites attract, billionaire romance from USA Today bestselling author L.J. Shen is now available!

Riggs Bates may be a billionaire, but he knows money can’t buy happiness. He keeps his financial status a secret and takes his women the same way he takes his meals—a different one three times a day. That’s until he’s caught sleeping with a married newswoman by none other than her ambitious assistant.

Daphne “Duffy” Markham wants two things in life: marry well and stay in the States. So when her almost-fiancé takes off to “find himself” and her work visa approaches expiration, Duffy resorts to the only thing she has left—blackmail. Luckily, Riggs needs an excuse to stay in New York as badly as she does, so their first meeting quickly leads to a begrudging engagement.

Armed with strict house rules and their mutual distaste for one another, Riggs and Duffy soon find there’s no denying the spark between them…or the fact that this fake marriage is starting to feel a little too real.

My Review...

It’s been a minute since I have read L.J. Shen, life got away from me.

But this story, part of a series, but I can attest, can definitely be read as a stand-alone is going to give you all of the feelings.

This is the story of Duffy and Riggs and what an adventure their relationship is.

I could empathize with Duffy, what girl doesn’t want a posh life with no worries of bare cupboards and bills paid? But as a wanna-be gold digger, she is failing in spades.

Riggs, you crafty fellow. I loved his brashness, his take-the-world-by-storm attitude and I especially loved his heart, heavily guarded and scarred but when Duffy broke through, so did the swoons!

I cried ugly tears, I laughed out loud, and I swooned like a Jane Austen character.

I really enjoyed this story and I was sad to see it end. This will definitely be a re-read for me in the future.

***************

The hot baseball player I’m forced to stay with for my best friend’s wedding is off limits.

Remy Winfield has more muscles than manners, and he’s on a mission to get me into bed by way of the filthiest mouth I’ve ever wanted to kiss. He doesn’t care about my long time crush or my certainty that we’re finally about to happen.

Remy’s sure I’ll break first and kiss him, and he’ll tease me to the limit to make sure I do. I might be a Lady, but I can still play his dirty little game. It’s perfectly safe, totally harmless.

Until I fall for him.

Suddenly, Mr. Long-Time Crush doesn’t matter at all.

And my best friend can never know.

My Review...

First off, on behalf of all your lifelong fans! Welcome back Staci, you were sorely missed and I know I am so happy that you have found more stories to write in that talented mind of yours.

This story…woo wee, what a hot, smexy and stellar story of Jessa and Remy.

The banter between them is ah-mazing and the smexy times between them are wowza, white hot!

Jessa is an actual English lady, she comes to the little town of Roseville to be a part of her best friend’s wedding. A bit of a mishap from a crazy aunt and she finds herself rooming with the charming, dirty-talking southern boy Remy.

Oh, Remington, you are a hero of the ages! He is all the good things you expect from a storybook hero. He is all about family, loyalty, and even though he has had his heart broken, he realizes that he can love again.

As an avid fan of Ms. Hart, I was so happy to read this comeback story! I hope to see more from her in the future!

See My Review Below!!!

A brand new standalone hate-to-love, brother’s best friend hockey romance.
My new roommates are two pro hockey players.
First, my manwhore older brother, and second, his seriously hot best friend (who I seriously hate).
This was a last resort.
No one should be sleeping on a futon that smells like Cheetos and ball sweat.
But here I am, trying to get my life together.

Tristan Stiles is the bane of my existence.
He never wears a shirt.
We can’t seem to stop fighting.
He’s an arrogant playboy with a filthy reputation.
Sure, I had a crush on him when I was fourteen, but that was a long time ago.
I know better than to trust him.

I just need to survive long enough to find a new job and get a new place.
And not accidentally let Tristan rail me into next week.

My Review...

Wowza! This new story from the talented and spicy mind of Helena Hunting will have you looking for your proverbial fainting couch and smelling salts!

This is the story of Rix and Tristian. 

I could really empathize with Rix, even with the age gap that she and I have. I remember having the same hang-ups that she has and how I grew somewhat from them. I can understand her and her brother’s financial need for stability and applaud her for it.

Tristian is a man’s man. But the inside him beats the heart and soul of a much younger boy. Family history really did a number to stop his emotional growth and it takes someone like Rix to help.

There is a thin line between love and hate with Rix and Tristan, with some hella hot smexy times and a large number of roadblocks that make them swerve and come out the other side of a more healthy relationship.

I couldn’t put this book down once I started (much to my hubby’s grumbling). I can’t wait to see more from the whole cast of characters in this new world that Ms. Hunting has created!

An all-expense paid trip to Europe. What could be more enticing than that?

Well, other than having the surgeon I fantasize about daily as my travel companion.

But to me, that’s all Lucian Aston is—a highly sophisticated, posh Englishman who stars in my daydreams. Mostly because of the way he views me as a loud, boisterous, no-nonsense surgical nurse he’s stuck touring London and Paris with up to the day of his groundbreaking surgery.

Until then, we’ve got a lot of downtime to kill. So, it’s only natural that I put my best foot forward to get to know him a little better.

Problem is, Lucian has no intention of taking a single step in his fancy wingtips to meet me halfway. That is until we strike our deal…

For the next six weeks, it’ll be a no-holds-barred, balls-to-the-wall reckoning between me and the prickly heart doctor as I get to know the man behind the scowl and scalpel.

But that’s the thing about the good doctor’s surgical specialty and his skill in the heart department. The more we spend time together, the more I run the risk of losing mine.

Even so, I’m prepared for anything. Or at least I think I am.

You see, there are the best-laid plans for the dream getaway you drum up in your mind, and then there’s reality.

My Review...

Ah, Ms. Stewart, you have once again written a story for the ages.

Just when I think there is no way to exceed my ridiculous expectations of your talent, you slay me with this. Heart, laughs, swoons, and smexiness in spades are what you get with this.

The characters Jane and Lucian are relatable, worthy and I fell in love hard for both of them.

Jane is without a doubt, one of the most amazing characters I have ever read. She is sassy, confident, and with vulnerabilities that resonate with me. She is what I aspire to be. She has overcome her past with a bang and I want to be her BFF.

Lucian has some hidden facets that come to light with Jane that are just wowza. His Britishness and stiff upper lip are just the icing on the deliciousness of him.

Their relationship is one for the record books and I was down for the ride. I wanted to fit myself into one of their suitcases and just observe the whirlwind of them both.

Way to blow my mind and heart with this new story Ms. Stewart, I tip my blogger hat to you for this masterpiece!

See My Review Below!!!

From USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow comes a best friend’s brother, steamy small town romance.

Only in the movies does the Hollywood heartthrob fall for the small town diner waitress.

So when Dashiel Buckley returns to Cherry Tree Harbor for a wedding, I’m determined not to let my massive crush on my best friend’s older brother hijack my good sense.

(It happened once before. Do not recommend.)

But when my hand is injured, it’s Dash who steps in at the diner. The moment he realizes I can’t afford to fix my car, he takes care of it. And when he hears about the way my toxic ex treated me, he refuses to let it go.

Now it’s not just his blue eyes and sexy smile that have me swooning, it’s the way he wants to help me. Encourage me. Protect me.

I can’t resist.

Our text messages heat up. Our phone calls melt all my defenses. “Just friends” turns into “just once,” and “just once” becomes a distant memory. Night after night, he warms my bed, my body, and my heart.

But it can’t last.

Our dreams have us on two different paths–Dash wants the lights, camera, action of Hollywood, and I’ll always be a small town girl.

If only I could be his.

🍒 Friends with benefits

🍒 Best friend’s brother
🍒 He spoils her
🍒 Second chance romance
🍒 Protective hero
🍒 Secret crush
🍒 Small town girl x hollywood heartthrob

My Review...

“…Not every love stories end with can have a happy ending…” – Small Town Swoon

That quote above, really brings home the story of Dash and Ari.

Welcome back to Cherry Tree Harbor and the fantastic Buckley family.

Dashiel Buckley is making his dreams come true in Hollywood, an actor wanting to make his mark in the big leagues of film. He comes home to re-evaluate his career.

Ari has lived the big city dream and finds it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. She returns to Cherry Tree Harbor to become the small-town girl she knows she wants to be.

A lifetime of knowing and secretly harboring some feelings brings Dash and Ari together in a smexy way.

Does Ari and Dash’s love story end happily? Read this book and find out!

This series is not to be missed!

EXCERPT

 

On the wall behind her, taking up the entire space, was an enormous contemporary oil painting. Bold loops of black paint seemed to dance across a white ground, dominating the room. It was so dramatic, so unexpected and somehow energetic, a rush of excitement flooded her.

 

 

“It makes me want to twirl!”

 

“Exactly!” He reached for her free hand, lifting it and turning her so suddenly and smoothly, the graceful spin finishing with their mouths inches apart. He looked as surprised as she felt, but the most surprising thing wasn’t the spontaneous twirl, or even the fact that he’d done it.

 

It was the rush of pure desire that flooded her–a raw, burning, melting desire that was like nothing she’d ever felt before. And it was matched by the equally desperate desire to run out the front door, go home, pretend this “meeting” had never happened.

 

But she didn’t move, and neither did he. Gathering her courage, she peeked up through her blonde wisps to see him looking down at her intently. His scent filled her nose–there was a faint, spicy cologne and the starchy smell of his shirt, but mostly, it was his skin, and she wanted to press her mouth against it. A brief moment passed in silence, then he lifted her hand, touched it to his lips, and released it, taking a small step back.

 

“Thank you,” he said lightly. “It justifies my existence when someone understands the art. You brought my painting to life.”

My Review...

Oh how I flove a new story from the talented and quirky mind of Julia Kent.

I am so loving this new series, I love being introduced to new characters and seeing beloved past characters making cameos.

This is the story of Katie and Patrick. As a vintage gal myself, I love the premise that no matter what your age, you can still have smexy times, you can still feel the promise of a new love and you can still live.

Kate and Patrick’s meet-cute is one for the record books! I absolutely loved it and laughed quite hard.

Kate is a girl boss, even when her personal life is bit of a sh*t-storm. She has a type and she wants to try to break it, but when the silver fox that is Patrick comes into her world. Well, hold tight.

Patrick is all the good things you want in a hero, he is swoony and I love his naiveté when it comes to the world and his daughter.

As with all of Ms. Kent’s stories, you get heart, heat, and hilarity in a beautiful backdrop of the art world.
