Blurb:

There’s nothing quite like going home.

Breathing in that fresh Montana air with the woman I love at my side is something only the luckiest of men ever get to experience.

And I’m one of them.

After surviving a deadly virus, false imprisonment, watching the woman I love nearly die, and a dishonorable discharge, things are finally looking up.

I got the one thing I wanted—to return to Murky Falls Ranch and take over with my brothers.

But things are never what they appear. The ranch is no longer a ranch. I pulled my brother out of a fire set by a man who hates our family, and there are several new additions to the family I was not expecting.

I thought the worst was over, but now I’m beginning to wonder if I’ll ever know how forever feels.

Excerpt:

My stomach churned as we approached Parker’s family ranch, and it wasn’t just because I suspected I was pregnant.

“Do you see that third peak to the right?” Parker pointed out the windshield. “That’s where the edge of my family’s ranch is. Murky Falls is over there. That’s where our ranch name came from.”

I nodded, trying to take it all in while also fighting the urge to leap out of the SUV and run back home. What was I thinking, agreeing to move here when I hadn’t even met anyone in his family first?

Mountains painted the midnight landscape as far as the eye could see. It should have been beautiful and welcoming, but an odd sense of impending doom told me this wouldn’t be the wonderful welcome he thought it would be.

“Blake,” Parker said, shooting me a curious glance. “Are you okay?”

“Of course,” I grinned, attempting to keep the fear and urge to puke from showing on my face.

“Then why do you look like I just told you we’re getting married?”

The smirk on his face eased the tension in my body just a little. “Well, we did come out here with the intent of starting over.”

“Just not getting married right away. Trust me, I haven’t called your family for a shotgun wedding.”

My head snapped so fast toward the passenger window at his words that I nearly pulled a muscle in my neck. If only he knew how close we were to using that phrase.

“Here we are,” he announced, stopping at the open gates of the ranch.

An emblem of Murky Falls Ranch greeted us on either side of the entrance, sealing my fate. There was no turning back now.

“It’s been years since I was home,” he murmured. “It’ll be good to see everyone.”

In order to do that, we’d have to actually drive forward, but I wasn’t exactly yelling at him to get moving. The delay was the only thing holding me together at the moment.

But just as I thought that, he pulled through the gates toward my doom.

Author Bio:

I'm a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, "No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book." I didn't think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn't already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven't been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

Audiobook Review: Unbroken (The Bradshaw Brothers #1) by Janice Whiteaker, narrators Maxine Mitchell and Austin Stone

 

Blurb: 

I came to Willow Bend, Wyoming with nothing but the clothes on my back and a secret.

It won’t be easy hiding morning sickness and swinging emotions as the live-in chef for a wealthy tech genius, but I’ll do whatever it takes to build a life for myself and my baby.

Because I’m in this alone.

For weeks I hold my breath, waiting for the moment I come face to face with the reclusive Titus Bradshaw and have to explain my… condition.

But when our paths finally cross, I discover why he’s hidden away from the world.

His scars are deep and far-reaching. A reminder of what he lost. Who he couldn’t save.

I know I should keep my distance, but Titus’s calm demeanor and steady presence draw me in. Make me want things I can’t have. Wish for a life that won’t be mine.

Because my future and his past are incompatible.

He’s been through enough. I won’t make him suffer any more.

But someone else might. Someone who’s keeping a secret of their own.

And they’ll kill to protect it.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

This story started off making me cry then quickly led to witty banter, secrets, and feelings. I loved how Mariah was willing to move away from family and friends to prepare for her new future, even though she was keeping it a secret. She was talented at cooking, determined to have a clean environment, and very independent. Titus became protective of Mariah as he felt the attraction and watched her take over his house, recognizing her situation. Situations became a little more dangerous surrounding Titus and his brothers, and then Mariah. I had some tears at the end as well. A great story. I look forward to the next in the series.
Narration by Maxine Mitchell and Austin Stone did a wonderful job. They both made sure that they used different intonations to keep all the characters separate which added an extra dimension to the story.

This is my unsolicited review.

Ebook Review: Little Rabbit Wants the Moon by Lauren Kukla

 

Blurb: 

Little Rabbit can’t sleep. His brothers and sisters may be snuggled up beside him, but the glowing moon in the night sky has captivated Little Rabbit, and he wants nothing more than to reach up and touch it. But how can such a small rabbit reach something so far away?

Little Rabbit knows if he just had the special abilities of the night creatures around him, he could reach the moon. Possum’s strong tail would help Little Rabbit swing from the tallest tree. Bat’s wings would help Little Rabbit soar through the sky. Beaver’s sharp teeth and claws would help Little Rabbit build a ladder straight up to the moon.

But Mama Rabbit knows something Little Rabbit doesn’t—that being small doesn’t mean being powerless, and every creature has special gifts that help them thrive. With warmth and wisdom, she reminds her little one of the unique traits that make him an essential part of the forest family. Then she gently sends him on his own magical journey to the moon by encouraging him to close his eyes and dream.

This gentle bedtime story about curiosity, self-acceptance, and the boundless power of imagination is sure to help caregivers and their little ones find sweet dreams on sleepless nights.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

This was a wonderful story. I loved how acceptance of yourself was included in with the desire to be something else. Little Rabbit wanted to touch the moon. As he tried to find ways to get there, his mother kept pointing out his good qualities. The illustrations were very well done and beautiful. Definitely a wonderful bedtime read with a lesson.

Ebook Review: How to Save a Spy (Duke of Lies Series) by Jane Charles

Blurb: 

As war wages in the Caribbean and preparations are made for a British invasion of French-held Martinique, Rhys McNaught is sent to the island to gather pre-invasion intelligence by The Lion Watch, a covert spy agency. Even though he is aware of the danger if caught, Rhys also enjoys living on a tropical island far removed from a gloomy and cold England, and the peace of being alone.

After spending the Christmas holiday with family, Miss Tempest Driscoll and her five younger sisters set sail from Barbados to their home in Dominica on a British cutter owned by her uncle. When their ship is attacked by a French brig and seriously damaged, the captain has Tempest and her sisters delivered to a Martinique beach for safety, where she is forced to find shelter for her siblings.

When Rhys returns to his home with gathered intelligence, he is stunned to find that six females have taken up residence in his home, a once-abandoned ramshackle hut beneath the shelter of the trees. He wants them gone but also knows that he must protect Tempest and her sisters until he can get them off the island before they are discovered by the French or the British invade and they are caught in the battle.

When danger finds them, Rhys is willing to sacrifice himself while Tempest must choose between escaping with her sisters or following her heart to save her spy.

My Review - 4 1/2 of 5 stars - 

4 1/2 stars. I enjoyed this story. Rhys was surprised when he found six females in his hut, where he resided while keeping an eye on French activity on the island. His disillusion with spying and his job had him completing this assignment so that he could head to his home in Antigua. He accepted that he needed to protect these women and children with possible war coming. I loved the antics of the children. Tempest was determined to protect her sisters, but she also took care of Rhys, even though the two of them argued on and off. A very wonderful story.

Blitz: The Statistically Unlikely Rebound (Grad or Die Romance #1) by Parker Elling

The Statistically Unlikely Rebound

Grad or Die Romance, Book #1

by Parker Elling 

Romance, Contemporary Romance

Date Published: February 14, 2026

Two fake-dating mathematicians create all kinds of chemistry in this forced proximity STEMinist romance for fans of Ali Hazelwood and Abby Jimenez.

Mathematician Daisy Zhang-Wainwright’s fiancé Ethan unceremoniously dumps her 29 days before she’s due to move cross-country to be with him and start a new university job. But Daisy’s always been stubborn, and she’s not about to turn down a postdoc at MIT over a failed relationship, so here she is, in a last-minute apartment with minimal furniture, no friends, and a dumpster fire of a bank account.

To make matters worse, her new downstairs neighbor is Professor Lars Berg-Anderson, Ethan’s academic rival, infamously cold and notoriously antisocial. Daisy has barely settled in when she discovers that not only is Ethan in a new relationship, it’s with Daisy’s new potential colleague… who is pregnant. Daisy doesn’t need her math PhD to work out that the two relationships overlapped.

So when the happy couple arrives at Daisy’s house-warming party, what can she do but impulsively suggest Lars kiss her? Lars might be MIT’s ice man, but he’s also objectively hot. But, the more time they spend together, the harder it is for either of them to maintain appropriate boundaries. Daisy’s not ready for anything serious and Lars believes relationships have an “unfavorable benefit to effort ratio”, so these two are definitely way too smart to get emotionally entangled in a for-show, completely fake, rebound. Right?

 

About the Author

I'm a blessed (but often exhausted) mother of four. I learned English by reading regency-era romances by the bagful, and when I ran out of escapist fiction that was exactly the type I wanted (usually lower stakes, usually lighter on the angst though sometimes I lean in), I started to write my own. I also publish children's books under Marie Chow.

Ebook Review: I'm Not the Only Murderer in My Retirement Home by Fergus Craig

 

Blurb: 

After a decades-long stint in prison, former serial killer Carol is looking to kick back and relax in her new retirement home...until a fellow resident drops dead and Carol has to prove she actually didn't do it this time....

Carol is delighted to be leaving her tiny prison cell behind to take her place in a luxury retirement home. She's hoping her past as a serial killer won't come to light so she can make a few friends and find some murder-free hobbies. But it's not long before a fellow resident—who happens to be a former police commissioner—drops dead, and Carol's true identity is leaked—making catching up over daily activities of bingo and baking rather awkward.

Just her luck, Carol soon realizes that the victim wasn't the only former law enforcement officer at Sheldon Oaks—it's filled to the brim with former cops, barristers, and government representatives, her newfound friends included. And everyone thinks Carol's guilt is a no-brainer, but she is ready to prove them dead wrong...without killing anyone, for once.

My Review - 4 1/2 of 5 stars - 

4 1/2 stars. I found this to be an interesting and fun read with plenty of twists. Carol, an ex-con serial killer, moved into a retirement home. There, she learned how to make friends, showed that she could solve a murder with help, especially to prove she was innocent. I loved her determination to keep her past in the past and willingness to overlook how others perceived her. Trying to connect the two murders in these pages kept me guessing. I found the denouement convoluted and well explained, and the ending very intriguing.
