Love You Always

Buttercup Hill series

by Stacy Travis

Blurb:

Ever heard the one about the rom-com princess who gets swept off her feet by her fake fiancรฉ?

Yeah, thatโ€™s not my story.

Iโ€™m an actress whose reputation is currently circling the drain, thanks to a string of public relationship disasters. All I want is to adopt a baby and leave my tabloid trainwreck days behind me. 

When the adoption agency doubts my ability to provide a stable home life, I agree to a fake engagement with a guy who screamed โ€œPR-approved.โ€

Easy enoughโ€”until Archer Corbett blows it all to pieces.

Heโ€™s a broody, hockey-playing winemaker who makes grumbling an art form. He also hates my fake fiancรฉโ€”pretty sure โ€œdouchebagโ€ was in there somewhereโ€”and doesnโ€™t care who knows it. But when Archer rescues me on the side of the road and keeps me safe, I discover thereโ€™s more under his scowl than grunts and muscles.

A lot more.

Turns out, Archer has a guarded heart, a fierce loyalty to his family, and a self-sacrificing streak a mile wide. Heโ€™s also infuriatingly hotโ€”and impossible to resist. One stolen kiss turns into carwash-steamy nights and a bond I didnโ€™t see coming. But thereโ€™s a problem: he doesnโ€™t want kids, and I canโ€™t imagine a life without them.

Our lives donโ€™t fit together. Our dreams are miles apart. But what if Archerโ€™s exactly what I need to rewrite my story? And what if Iโ€™m the one to thaw his frozen heart?

If only this were a movie, I might get the happily ever after Iโ€™ve always wanted.

Love You Always is a standalone romance with a HEA, and it’s the anticipated final book in the Buttercup Hill series.

Hit Me with Your Best Shot

Houston Baddies series

by Sara Ney

Blurb:

USA Today bestselling author Sara Ney sizzles with a fast-paced, sexy romp about a sassy fan-girl and flailing hockey star in this hilarious stand-alone…

I didnโ€™t mean to roast Gio Montagalo, goalie and crown jewel of The Houston Baddies hockey team. Honestly, I was screaming at the TV in a sports bar like any self-respecting sports junkie does when their team is on a losing streak! So when his twin sister sidles up on the stool beside me, laughing at my commentary, I figured Iโ€™d made a fan, too. What I didnโ€™t expect? For her brotherโ€”the guy I called โ€œa flashy ice peacock with the reflexes of a slothโ€โ€”to hear about it.

Yikes. What were the odds?!

Next thing I know, Gio is in my DMs with a challenge: โ€œHold up a sassy sign at my game and hit me with your best shot. Roast me in front of everyone.โ€ For him, itโ€™s fun. For me, itโ€™s humiliating. But I did it. Glitter included. And because the universe thrives on chaos, the Baddies won.

Now Gio thinks Iโ€™m his good luck charm, begging me to show up with more signs. He also wants to see meโ€”off the ice.

What does a hot, hockey hunk want with a bookish girlie like me?

I try to keep my distance. Mostly. 

Soon, Gio is showing up at my job for swoony kisses and trying to charm my dogโ€”also named Gioโ€”and failing because my dog hates him at first sight. I wonder if this whole โ€œlucky charmโ€ thing has less to do with hockey and more to do with the overwhelming, undeniable pull I feel toward him. Or maybe itโ€™s fateโ€™s way of showing me that sometimes, the guy you roast on national TV can be the one you accidentally fall for.

Fast-paced and hilarious, Hit Me With Your Best Shot is full of electric chemistryโ€”and tons of spice. Austin Adam’s life just went from shouting at the TV screenโ€”to becoming part of the show.

Review:

I think Austin is one of my favorite heroines. She is unabashedly loud, bold, and a bit nerdy. She’s smart AND smart-mouthed, keeping Gio on his toes. And he is there for every moment. He’s more than attracted to her brains, her body, and her sass. He’s also, probably partially because of his love for his twin sister, a darn good boyfriend. He may be cocky but he also works at being supportive and a good communicator. I loved him from page 1.

Hit Me with Your Best Shot is somewhat spicy and not very angsty but definitely a lot of fun. The banter between them is fun and cheeky and entertaining and I just adored them together. Their humorous meet-cute definitely sets the tone for the story and Ney delivers for the rest of the book. And based on the epilogue, I’m so here for the next book in the series.

(There were a couple of off things that I don’t know if it is because it is an ARC but … I mean, if their Houston is the Texas Houston then it doesn’t get cold enough for a back yard ice rink … minor things but they pulled me out of the story for a minute and may bother other readers more.)

He’s the one who keeps me steady, soothing me when the chaos of life threatens to overwhelm me. Grant is my true north. Until we cross that line.

As the line blurs between friendship and something more, I’m left grappling with a daunting question: Is he worth the gamble of disrupting the delicate balance of our friendship and the stability we’ve carefully built together?

I’m hurt, and angry, and that’s when I need her the most.

Can I put my anger aside and forgive her, or will we be stuck in silence forever? Our friendship might be on the line, but my heart tells me Ivy is worth the risk.

The Accidental Honeymoon

by Vivian Wood

Blurb:

Faking forever never tasted so sweet.

When Calla Nikolakis gets the cake commission of her dreams, sheโ€™s in loveโ€ฆ with how much exposure sheโ€™ll get from doing ultra-hot lifestyle guru Jay Rustinโ€™s wedding.

Smash cut to twelve hours later. She wakes up buck naked next to Jay, wearing a ring on her finger and sporting a Jay bird brand-new tattoo. In case anyoneโ€™s counting, thatโ€™s two bad decisions for the price of one.

The next thing she knows, a viral post of her and Jay saying โ€œI doโ€ spreads like wildfire. Everybody and their mama has seen her become Mrs. Jay Rustin.

Normally, Calla is known for being calm in any situation. But one look into her now-husbandโ€™s panty-meltingly blue eyes, and sheโ€™s anything but cool and collected. Before she can freak the geek out, Jay makes her a new proposal.

Stay married for three months. Go on a crazy hillbilly honeymoon to appease his sponsors. Convince everyone theyโ€™re the real deal.

In exchange, Jay promises to boost her business to guarantee that her bakery stays afloat. She can hardly say no. Besides, with the opportunity to spend weeks sleeping in Jayโ€™s bedโ€ฆ why would she want to decline?

Thereโ€™s just one thing she promises herself: absolutely no falling in love. No looking at his sculpted muscles as they hike. No peeking beneath the covers just out of curiosity. And absolutely no swooning when he feeds her buttercream with his fingers.

Itโ€™s all for show to convince the world theyโ€™re a dream couple. It should be no problemโ€ฆ just as long as he doesnโ€™t accidentally love her back.

Starts With A Bang

A Redemption Ridge Novel

by Aimee Nicole Walker

Tropes: Best friend’s brother, hurt/comfort, opposites attract, grumpy sunshine, fake dating

Blurb:

The best way to get over a cheating jerk is to get under someone new.

Dominic isnโ€™t looking for love or salvation at the Thirsty Cowboy. He needs a temporary escape from the drudgery his life has become, and the universe provides him with the sexiest distraction heโ€™s ever seen. Sven is a sucker for sad eyes, thick thighs, and a Royal Cosmopolitan. He scores the trifecta of trouble when a broody hunk buys him a drink. Sparks fly, passions flare, and a simple kiss becomes a four-alarm blaze until an untimely interruption douses the men with an icy reality, pitting loyalty against lust.

They shouldnโ€™t… They couldnโ€™tโ€ฆ Spoiler alert: they do!

It was supposed to be one and done but memories of their shared encounter wonโ€™t let go. A single text triggers two years of conversations, healing, and an endearing friendship that could blossom into something precious if Dom and Sven were brave enough to take a chance.

An unexpected invitation could provide the nudge their scarred hearts need. Exploring their reignited passion for two weeks in Vail would be a heavenly hideaway if not for a hellish houseguestโ€™s resolve to cause trouble. Family rifts and uncomfortable confrontations abound, and embracing a future with Sven means Dom must face his past. Is their love strong enough to withstand the fire, or will they go down in flames?

Starts With a Bang is a standalone novel within the Redemption Ridge universe. It contains mature content and is intended for adults.

AVAILABLE NOW

*****

Excerpt:

Reaching into my pocket, I removed my key fob and unlocked the vehicle. The headlights flashed on, but instead of going to the driverโ€™s door, I detoured around to the passenger side. I turned to face Stevie. No. Not Stevie. Sven. Maybe if I repeated it often enough, I could forget he was Kerryโ€™s little brother. Sven had stopped several feet away, and my headlights illuminated his perfect body. I hadnโ€™t been able to get him out of my mind all night. Other guys had flirted with me, but they werenโ€™t him. Sven.

What I was about to do was wrong, but I could worry about it later. I grabbed the handle on the minivanโ€™s rear door and slid it open. Sven was right. We were consenting adults and didnโ€™t need Kerryโ€™s permission. What had he meant about Sven not learning his lesson from past mistakes? It was on the tip of my tongue to ask, but I noticed Sven hadnโ€™t budged from his spot. I forced my gaze up to his face and registered his hesitant expression.

โ€œWhy a minivan?โ€ Sven asked. 

I saw our interaction in a new light and admired Svenโ€™s self-preservation. I was a virtual stranger who wanted to lure him into the back of my sketchy vehicle in a dark parking lot. โ€œItโ€™s convenient for my work.โ€ 

Sven took a few tentative steps closer. โ€œSo, no car seats or soccer ball hazards I need to be concerned about?โ€ 

โ€œNo kids,โ€ I said. 

โ€œGood to know.โ€ Sven edged a little closer. โ€œWhat about tarps, duct tape, and rope?โ€

I laughed for what seemed like the first time in months. โ€œIโ€™m not a serial killer either.โ€ 

โ€œPhew.โ€ Sven strode forward until he reached the open door. He squinted his cobalt-blue eyes and scrutinized the minivanโ€™s dark interior. โ€œNo lights?โ€

โ€œI disabled them.โ€ Realizing how bad that sounded, I added, โ€œIโ€™m a private detective.โ€ I gestured to the white van. โ€œItโ€™s nondescript, fits in everywhere, and lets me blend in during surveillance. Dome lights will make me stand out like a sore thumb during nighttime stakeouts.โ€

Sven pursed his lips and nodded. โ€œMakes sense.โ€ He reached inside the van and rested his hand on a captainโ€™s chair. โ€œHow far back do these seats recline?โ€ 

โ€œClimb on in and letโ€™s find out.โ€ 

โ€œSaid the spider to the fly.โ€ And Sven walked into my web.

*****

Review:

Dom & Sven’s romance felt lighter than the previous books in the Redemption Ridge series (it can be read as a stand alone) but it was no less enjoyable. The beginning of the book takes us thru their first meeting and the months that follow as they slowly get to know each other better & Dom takes the time to get to a more stable place emotionally. I appreciate that they had that opportunity and didn’t just jump into any kind of relationship.

When Dom has to face his past, Sven comes along to provide moral support and a buffer. Bringing with him all his larger than life personality and confidence. And a chance to take their friendship to something more. It’s been a long, slow courtship for them. And for us ๐Ÿ™‚

Dom’s family is a hoot and Sven fits right in. By the end of the book, I wanted to enjoy one of their holidays. While I do wish we’d gotten a few more Christmassy shenanigans, overall I was satisfied as I turned that final page.

I’ve loved every book in the Redemption Ridge and while I’m sad to see it end the fact that we finish with Sven is perfect. He’s been such a high point in the last couple of books – supportive, sassy, and fun. I’m looking forward to seeing what Walker has in mind next.

Duke of Pryde

Seven Dukes of Sin #3

by Mariah Stone

Blurb:

A marriage of convenience forces a powerful duke to choose between his ferocious pride and unexpected love that melts his icy heart.

Reputation is everything in the ton. And no one’s is more pristine than the Duke of Pryde’s. But when a blackmailer threatens to expose his devastating secret heโ€™s forced to marry Miss Modesty Fairchild, a woman far below his station, his perfect facade begins to fracture.

A budding archeologist, Miss Modesty Fairchild would rather dig in the dirt than host a gala. But a deathbed promise has left her the guardian of an orphaned baby. Sheโ€™ll do anything to protect her little wardโ€ฆeven marry the heartless duke who looks down his nose at her.

Lonely and lost in Pyrdeโ€™s elegant Mayfair home, she despises him. But his touch awakens a longing that leaves her quaking. And when his rigid control shatters, desire consumes them both. Glimpsing the tender heart beneath her husbandโ€™s haughty exterior, Modesty dreams of a loving future.

But a villain in the shadows plots Prydeโ€™s downfall. And as the Seven Dukes of Sin hunt for clues, the blackmailer raises the stakes.

Faced with a dreadful choice, will Constantine sacrifice his reputation and his fortune for the wife and child he has come to treasure?

*****

Review:

Constantine & Modesty are such a great contrast. She’s poor, lower class but raised by her clergy father to be giving to others. He’s had everything (except his father’s love & acceptance) and while he has a big heart underneath he’s been trained to show a cold, perfect facade to others. Marriage and time spent together has her seeing that loving, struggling man underneath and she starts making him want for something more. But a secret from his past threatens it all.

While I didn’t think this one had quite the emotional punch as Duke of Luhst, I did enjoy it. I found the mystery of the blackmail to be well done and I really liked when the villain was unmasked. I do feel that maybe we needed a few more close moments between Constantine and Modesty. To see just a little more of them growing closer together and falling in love because I liked them both so much. The epilogue tho is a delight and I couldn’t have asked for a better resolution for them.

Mr. Swoony

The Nest #3

by Piper Rayne

Blurb:

Hockey players were never my type.

At least, thatโ€™s what I thoughtโ€”until I met Conor Nilsen. In truth, I didnโ€™t know he was the goalie for the Chicago Falcons when he struck up a conversation the night of my bachelorette party.

He proved he wasnโ€™t just some hot guy looking to score when he helped me get my drunk bridesmaid safely back to our hotel. Thatโ€™s when he discovered my 30-before-30 bucket listโ€”a list I hadnโ€™t managed to check a single item off.

What was meant to be a night of stargazing turned into so much more. The chemistry between us was undeniable, and after one innocent night together, I started to question everythingโ€”especially my upcoming wedding to a man I wasnโ€™t sure loved me.

Fast forward to my wedding day, and just as Iโ€™m standing at the altar, Conor bursts through the church doors to object. And now, somehow, Iโ€™m his roommate. Yikes.

Review:

Piper Rayne just keeps getting better and better. Just like the previous stories, the found family part of this is just the best. I love how the guys have each other’s backs and now that each is finding their other half, the women are connecting as well. This shows so well with the help and support they provide to both Conor and Eloise.

And I SO ah-dored these two together.

Eloise is working her way to figuring out who she is and what she wants out of life. She spent years with a man who didn’t love and support her the way he should have. Then she meets Conor. And, for not having had a serious relationship before, he is the best at it. He doesn’t always make the best decisions, but he’s earnest, funny, and all in with his support of Eloise. He so much wants to build her up and keep her spirits up. It’s just the sweetest.

We know that these two are going to end up together, since it is their book, but I appreciated the journey to getting there. It isn’t easy thanks to the way they met, who Conor is, and Eloise’s journey. With patience, love, and the support of their friends, they eventually figure things out.

(Part of a series, but can be ready on its own.)

In Plain Sight

Legacy Mechanics – Book Three

by Willow Dixon

Release Date: February 20, 2025

Cover Design:ย Lori Jackson Design
Photo:ย Michelle Lancaster
Model:ย David Bodas

Blurb:

Zander

The last thing I expect when I meet the new guy at work is for my life to be thrown into chaos. Iโ€™ve spent years hiding my attraction to men, but Luka is funny, outgoing, and for reasons I canโ€™t explain, he sees past my introverted nature and wants to be friends.

Iโ€™ve never felt a connection with anyone like I do with Luka. He makes me want to open up and share the parts of myself I usually keep hidden. I donโ€™t want to make things awkward between us, but the more I try to get over my feelings, the harder it is to stay away.

Just when I think my life canโ€™t get any more complicated, I start chatting with a guy on an anonymous kink app. Sinbin might be a stranger, but heโ€™s everything Iโ€™ve ever wanted in a man. But then again, so is Luka.

How did I go from never having guy trouble to wanting two men I canโ€™t have?

Luka

Being the new guy at work isnโ€™t easy. Neither is having a crush on one of my coworkers. Zander is quiet and shy, and doesnโ€™t have the best social skills, but heโ€™s also sweet and caring and one of the most interesting people Iโ€™ve ever met.

Iโ€™ve never known anyone like Zander, and the more time we spend together, the harder it is to only see him as a friend. I want him, but heโ€™s straight. And to the outside world, so am I.

In a desperate attempt to get over my crush, I log into an anonymous kink app and start chatting with a man who doesnโ€™t just rock my world but understands me in ways no one else ever has. I might not know what MrNiceGuy looks like, but he feels familiar, like weโ€™ve known each other forever. But then again, so does Zander.

How can I be drawn to two men at the same time? And more importantly: how do I choose between them?

Genre: M/M Romance Standalone

Review:

This is just my second book by Dixon and like It’s Complicated it is super steamy and low angst. I loved these two, alone and together. Both of them are hiding their sexuality but are secretly developing feelings for each other. And thinking the other is straight, it’s difficult spending so much time together at work, believing they can only be friends. And then when they both make a connection with an anonymous person online, it complicates things.

I actually appreciate the way that they figure things out. And the confrontation is satisfying. I do wish we’d gotten a little more of their time together, to see them deepening their connection, but what we do get is great. Luka suffers from issues with anxiety and the way that Zander supports him is just the sweetest. And the way that their friends and family react to their relationship is touching as well. They realize that they have a great support network, one that everyone should have.

I’m enjoying these stories by Dixon. Low angst and high steam isn’t going to be for everyone but I like having that option. Sometimes you want the drama but then a more realistic look at two people meeting, developing a connection, and getting involved is perfect too.

Author Info:

What can I say about myself? Itโ€™s kind of like being the new kid in school and being asked to tell everyone a bit about yourself. Anyone else forget everything theyโ€™ve ever liked, thought of, and even their name in those moments?

A few facts about me; Iโ€™m a veteran, Iโ€™m Canadian, and I love books! Iโ€™ve been writing my own stories since I was eight and wrote my first novel at sixteen. Iโ€™m the first to admit those attempts werenโ€™t my best work, but they started me on a journey of creating stories that has led me to fulfilling my dream of becoming an author. Iโ€™ve written and published in several genres under different names, but MM is by far my favorite, and Iโ€™m so happy to be able to share my stories with people today.

I currently live on Canadaโ€™s east coast with my kiddo and my cats. I have a shoe collecting addiction, and I enjoy taking long walks, discussions with friends, and reading anything and everything I can get my hands on.

When We Burn

Blackwells of Montana #1

by Kristen Proby

Blurb:

Bridger

Iโ€™m her safe place.

I always have been.

The torment that Dani Lexington went through at the hands of her father was something no child should have had to endure. But I was the lucky one she turned to.

Our age difference and the fact that her brother was my best friend kept her off-limits, even though something was always there, lingering under the surface.

But when she was old enough, she left Bitterroot Valley, and I was forced to move on with my life.

I got married and had my little girl. Now, Iโ€™m a single dad, focused on my job as fire chief and making sure my daughter stays healthy after a mysterious illness has plagued her for the past year.

But after Daniโ€™s father dies, she returns to Bitterroot Valley and is now living across the street from my daughter and me.

Daniโ€™s no longer a child. No longer off limits.

This time, I wonโ€™t let anything or anyone stop me from being her safe place again.

Dani

Iโ€™ve been in love with Bridger Blackwell for as long as I can remember.

Heโ€™s a smoke show, kind, and gives the best hugs in the world. But best of all? Heโ€™s everything my sorry excuse for a father wasnโ€™t.

Now, Iโ€™m back in Bitterroot Valley, living across the street from Bridger and his adorable daughter.

It doesnโ€™t take long for all those old feelings to come rushing back, and every cell in my body knows that I belong with them.

That theyโ€™re mine.

Bridgerโ€™s arms are where I feel safest. They feel like home.

Iโ€™m growing to depend on him, to truly love him and his daughter. But I have deep-rooted baggage, and Bridgerโ€™s past has decided to rear its ugly head.

Will we survive this, or is our relationship doomed from the start?

Here and Now

Ember Falls #2

by Corinne Michaels

Blurb:

Iโ€™ve crafted my new life in Ember Falls with two simple rules: maintain superficial relationships and always be ready to run.

But when my sonโ€™s incredibly hot hockey coach Miles Anderson walks in, things get very, very complicated.

With his charming smile and our accidental dates, heโ€™s the exact opposite of any man Iโ€™ve ever dated. That should make saying yes to being with him simple, but nothing in my life is easy.

In fact, itโ€™s a mess.

Miles makes me smile and treats my son like his own. When weโ€™re together, I forget about my troubles and dream of a life that I will never be able to have with him.

Itโ€™s only a matter of time until the past comes knocking and Iโ€™ll have to leave, breaking us both in the process.
