Preorder: Rebel Moon (Christmas Cowboy at Crescent Moon Ranch #2) by Tess Thompson

Rebel Moon 

by Tess Thompson 

Releases on September 29th!

Read With Kindle Unlimited

She made him a star. He'll never forgive her for it.

Knox Hartley cares about one thing: the music. As lead guitarist for Jack Wilder — the best in the business, and everybody knows it — the songs were always supposed to be enough on their own. Then Madeleine Price got hold of them. For ten years she’s been the band’s publicist: brilliant, untouchable, and the reason they’re everywhere — packaging the music, selling it, turning something honest into product with her fingerprints on every platinum record.

To Knox, she took the one thing that was pure and handed it to the machine. He resents all of it. He resents her most of all.
What Knox doesn’t know is what it cost her to become the woman he can’t stand.

Madeleine built herself from nothing — reinvented a poor girl from nowhere into the sharpest publicist in country music, one flawless version of herself at a time, long before she ever met Jack and the band. The polish is armor. The control is survival. And the one thing she can’t afford is for anyone to see the girl underneath — least of all the man who’s spent a decade looking at her like she’s the enemy.

Now they’re both stuck at the most public wedding of the year: a monthlong Christmas celebration at Crescent Moon Ranch, where the bride keeps seating them together and there’s nowhere to hide from the one person who gets under her skin like no one else.

But a Montana December has a way of wearing down the oldest defenses. Beneath ten years of sharp words and slammed doors, Knox starts to catch glimpses of who Madeleine really is — and a secret she’s guarded since long before the band. She isn’t the woman he decided she was. She never was. And the more he sees, the more he wants the one person he swore he’d never forgive.

Enemies. Opposites. The worst possible person to want.

And the last person either of them planned to fall for.

A closed-door enemies-to-lovers romance. Forced proximity, a heroine with a secret, and ten years of simmering resentment that was never really hate.

Read On All Platforms

I only needed a place to hide. I didn’t expect the town’s grumpiest Green Beret to decide I was his.

Perry
I came to Wolf Valley to disappear.
So, the last thing I wanted was attention, especially not from the towering, scarred, permanently scowling man who lives in the cabin at the edge of town.
Luca Kane.
He barely speaks, barely smiles, and somehow always knows when something’s wrong.
When my tire blows on a deserted road, he’s there.
When a stranger asks too many questions, he’s suddenly at my side.
When my past comes creeping too close, he steps in without hesitation.
He fixes things I never asked him to, protects me like it’s instinct, and looks at me like he already knows all my secrets.
And that terrifies me, because I didn’t come here to fall in love, and I definitely didn’t come here to belong to a man like him.

Luca
I left the military to be alone.
No more noise, chaos, or attachments.
Then Perry walks into town with haunted eyes that she tries to hide behind a smile.
The second I look at her, something inside me locks into place.
She says she’s fine, but I know that’s a lie.
She jumps at shadows, sleeps with the lights on, and flinches like she expects the world to hurt her again.
Not on my watch.
Whatever she’s running from will have to come through me.
And that won’t end well for them because I didn’t survive war just to lose the woman who owns my heart.
And she is mine.
Whether she’s ready to admit it or not.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

An interesting start to a new series. I loved the paranormal aspect, different that expected. There was emotional pain, danger, secrets, and plenty of steam. Cin's patience and control of himself was intense, and he didn't just jump into bed. Gwen accepted everything with little question. She was adventurous, caring, and very trusting with others. I look forward to more in this series to see how all the other MC brothers react to finding "the one". Loved it.

Duet Narration by: Austin Stone & Andi Arndt

Releasing October 20, 2026

It was a terrible idea to agree to move in with my best friend’s little sister

She is everything I’ve ever wanted and the one thing I can’t have.

As our motorcycle club’s Vice President, I’m charged with her protection.
Touching her would be a penalty subject to death.

When she demands the chance to spread her wings, it’s my duty to go with her.
I knew staying at her new apartment would be excruciating.
Listening to her in her room and imagining her under the fall of the shower.
But when she asks me to crawl into bed with her so she won’t feel so alone, there’s nothing I can do.

One brush of her hand and I’m crumbling.
One crook of those fingers and I’m trapped.
One reckless night and there’s no going back.

Only with the lives we lead, our enemies are never far away, and as she begins to receive threats, I’m in a race to end the threat before it’s too late.
Soon, our secrets unravel, and I’m faced with the consequence of loving her.
But I promised her everything, and I’m willing to offer the greatest sacrifice.

Family Secrets & Conspiracy

 

Some secrets are buried deep. On Sea Smoke Island, digging them up could cost you everything...including your heart.

Heather McPhee swore she'd keep her distance from Sea Smoke Island—she escaped the reputation of the “messy McPhees” and intended to keep it that way. But when her best friend and podcast co-host vanishes after uncovering a bombshell story on the remote Maine island, Heather has no choice but to go back.

Luke Carmichael also thought he left the drama of his powerful family behind. Banished from their elite resort and raising his daughter on his own, the island constable prefers a quiet life. Until Heather storms back into town, stirring up old ghosts.

As they investigate Gabby's disappearance, Heather and Luke uncover a generations-old conspiracy tied to the elite Carmichael resort, one someone will kill to protect. And as sparks fly between the messy McPhee and the renegade Carmichael, they'll have to decide what's worth risking—the truth, their lives… or their hearts.

Because on Sea Smoke Island, some secrets refuse to stay buried. And the truth always comes to light. 

Narrator Reveal: Crash Course (Ashford Academy) by Piper Lawson, narrators Savannah Peachwood and Lance Greenfield, special guest Teddy Hamilton

Piper Lawson has revealed the narrators for Crash Course!

Narrated by: Lance Greenfield & Savannah Peachwood with a special appearance by Teddy Hamilton

Releasing October 20, 2026 

A spicy, angsty, slow burn F1 academy romance about fast cars, forbidden attraction, and family secrets from USA Today bestselling author Piper Lawson.

Shay MacDonald was raised to avoid two things: race cars and the Ashford family. But when an injury puts her mechanic father on bedrest, she vows to save his career by covertly covering his shifts at the Ashford garage and enrolling at Ashford Academy–an elite school that trains aspiring drivers and engineers, like herself, for the lucrative F1 circuit.

Keeping a low profile is out of the question when she has a run-in with the Ashford brothers on day one. Theo and Jameson are racing royalty who know they can get away with anything. Theo, the charming and reckless playboy, tempts her to break every rule, while Jameson, the brilliant prodigy, unsettles her with a cold intensity that cuts deeper than she expects.

Shay will always be the adopted daughter of a mechanic, trying to survive unnoticed in a world that was never meant for her. But Theo and Jameson’s only reprieve from their father’s sky-high expectations is Shay. She’s a shiny new pawn in their old rivalry—or a prize worth risking everything for.

When a competition to work on the F1 circuit brings her further into their orbit, Shay is forced to work harder to protect her secrets. But the deeper she’s pulled into the world of the rich and famous Ashfords, the more she realizes everyone is keeping secrets.

Secrets that could shatter her past, her future…and her heart.

Narrator Reveal: Beck (Double U Ranch #2) by Jessica Peterson, narrators Savannah Peachwood and Sean Crisden

Author Jessica Peterson has revealed the narrators for Beck!

Narrated by: Sean Crisden and Savannah Peachwood

Releasing January 12, 2027 

She wasn’t supposed to come back broken.
She definitely wasn’t supposed to find him waiting.
And she absolutely wasn’t supposed to want the life she left behind.

Posey Adkins has built a career out of knowing what she wants—what tastes right, what sells, what’s worth a second look. As a writer and food critic, she’s made a name for herself one sharp review and recipe at a time. But when her carefully ordered life cracks wide open, there’s only one place she can think to run: the small Texas town of Hartsville, where memories she’s spent years avoiding are alive and well.

Especially the one named Beck.

Beck Wallace never did learn how to forget Posey. Not the summer she came to Hartsville grieving her mama. Not the night they gave each other everything, knowing morning would still come with goodbye. She had a future waiting in New York, and his was rooted in the family ranch that had been theirs for generations.

Now Posey is back, and Beck isn’t the boy she left behind. He’s built something of his own—a thriving restaurant, a place on the ranch, a life he’s proud of. The only thing missing is the woman who taught him to live well and love hard.

This time around, Beck isn’t interested in almost. He’s ready to fight for Posey and for their second chance. Most of all, he’s ready to show her the dreams she’s been chasing have perhaps been here all along.

BECK is the second book in the all new Double U Ranch Series. Coming January 2027!

Ebook Review: How to Ruin a Rake (Rakes of London #2) by Kate Pearce

 

Blurb: 

Turning the conventions of Regency London upside down, a single lady desires a carefree, no-strings-attached dalliance with a devilish rogue in this spicy, irresistibly sensual new romance from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kate Pearce.

But is her all-wrong scoundrel actually her Mr. Right?

Lady Allegra Musgrove has resigned herself to never marrying. Creating a scandal worked out well for her sister, Carenza, now happily wed after advertising for a no-strings-attached arrangement with a willing gentleman from the ton. But the fallout has landed squarely on poor Allegra, who is ordered to leave London for her family home in the countryside.

Sometimes, though, fate comes knocking—or, in Allegra’s case, a rake who abducts her as part of a men’s club drunken wager!

Furious, Allegra quickly takes charge when their speeding carriage overturns and her masked captor is revealed: Lord Max Devereux, a notorious ne’er-do-well who pays his way out of trouble and beds women with impunity.

Suddenly sober, Max wants to forget the whole debacle and return Allegra to the city. Obviously, Allegra is aware that there could be no one worse to be stuck with in the middle of nowhere than such a rake, especially one so . . . experienced. Or . . . could there be no one better?

My Review - 4 1/2 of 5 stars - 

4 1/2 stars. This was a fun read. A prank that escalated into kidnapping and secrets. Allegra had given up on marriage because of the family scandals. I enjoyed her resolute stance, her intelligence, and her willingness to experience new things. I loved how she made Max take a closer look at himself and how he actually wanted to be a better man. The family dynamics on both sides was interesting. In the end, I was glad that his side fully supported him when needed.

I received a copy through the author at Netgalley, and this is my unsolicited review.
