A Texas Montgomery Mavericks / Lawyer Cowboy / Doctor / Unexpected Family Romance
Winner - Holt Medallion Best Short Contemporary for 2016
 
From New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author Cynthia D'Alba comes a heartwarming romance about unexpected family and love when you least expect it.
Sometimes what you think you don't want is exactly what you need.
 
After a long four-year engagement, and forced to choose between having a family or marrying a man who is adamantly against fathering children, Lydia Henson makes her decision. She chooses the man. She can live without children, but she can't live without Jason.
 
Jason Montgomery doesn't want children, or at least that's his story and he's sticking to it. The falsehood is less emasculating than the truth. But on the eve of their wedding, their worlds tip upside down. Lydia is unexpectedly given her sister's three children to raise and Jason and Lydia's well-planned life is thrown into chaos.
 
Everything Jason has sworn he doesn't want is now within his grasp. But as he reaches for the golden ring, life delivers another twist.

What happens when a soldier receives an unexpected inheritance at Christmastime?

Wolf Cassidy is always in control. After serving as an Army pilot, he's going to marry his high school sweetheart and start a new career flying for a commercial airline. His whole life is neatly planned out, just the way he likes it.

But when he comes home to small town Trinity Falls for the holidays, Wolf receives an unexpected inheritance—a tiny baby boy.

From the moment Wolf looks into Ezra's little face, he knows he's going to say yes to the baby. Even though it means losing his career, his girlfriend, and all his life plans in an instant.

Now Wolf's days are filled with bottles, diaper changes, and baby books. And his nights are filled with dreams about Samantha, the golden-hearted young woman at a local veterans' foundation whose sunny smile and relentless offers of assistance are proving to be irresistible.

But Wolf knows he can't let himself fall for Samantha and her brilliant, bookish little sister—not if he wants to maintain even a tiny bit of control while his new life spins out unexpectedly.

When a sudden snowstorm hits the tiny farming community just before the holidays, Wolf and Samantha may be forced to confront the feelings they've both been trying to deny, and the bond that is inevitably drawing the four of them closer.

Trinity Falls Sweet Romance is all about finding family – one clean & wholesome romance at a time. The Trinity Falls Sweet Romance: Home for Christmas series celebrates a group of men coming home to a small Pennsylvania town at Christmastime, and finding love and meaning in the season.

Audiobook Review: Promise Me This (Chicago Railers Hockey #4) by Jennifer Sucevic, narrators Savannah Peachwood and JF Harding


Blurb

From Top 30 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling Author Jennifer Sucevic comes a forbidden, slow-burn pro hockey romance featuring a protective single dad, an off-limits nanny, and a secret that could tear them apart.

I never planned to end up pregnant, alone, and starting over. But life unraveled faster than I could hold it together, and now the only thing that matters is protecting my baby… even if I have no idea what comes next.

Taking a live-in nanny job for Laiken Lennox is supposed to be temporary. A fresh start. A safe place to land while I rebuild my life. It's not supposed to be dangerous.

Laiken is my brother’s teammate.
My new boss.
A guarded NHL goalie and devoted single dad already fighting a custody battle.

I tell myself I can handle the proximity.
The late nights.
The way he looks at me like I’m something worth saving.
But living under his roof blurs every line I swore I wouldn’t cross.
Especially when he starts caring for me in ways no one else ever has.

I’m carrying another man’s baby.
He’s the last person I should fall for.
But the more time we spend together, the more Laiken feels like the one thing I can’t lose.
And when the truth comes out, it could cost me everything.

Promise Me This is a forbidden, slow-burn pro hockey romance featuring a protective single dad, an off-limits nanny, and a secret that could tear them apart. It’s book four in the Chicago Railers series and can be read as a standalone.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

I really enjoyed this story. I loved how Laiken worked hard to keep his daughter, loved her with all his heart, and stayed on top of his game. Kia found her way into his life. She was determined to keep her own secret while she fell in love with Laiken and his sweet little girl. His teammates were entertaining, and their women were so accepting of Kia into their group. I look forward to the next in this series.
The narration by Savannah Peachwood and JF Harding was wonderful. I felt they had a chemistry to match the characters. I loved Savannah's Elodie as well.

I received a copy through Valentine PR, and this is my unsolicited review.



Preorder: A Very Grumpy Sheriff (Wolf Valley: Grumps #15) by Shaw Hart

A Very Grumpy Sheriff 

by Shaw Hart 

Releases on June 26th!

https://geni.us/VeryGrumpySheriff
Available on All Platforms




I’ve loved him my whole life, but he doesn’t know I exist…

Suri
Devon Hayes has been part of my heart for as long as I can remember.
He was older, untouchable, and too focused on protecting the world to notice a curvy wallflower like me.
When he left Colorado to join the Army, I was terrified that I would never see him again.
I couldn’t have that, so I took a chance and did something that I was never brave enough to do when we were in high school together.
I wrote him letters.
Hundreds of them.
Every fear, every dream, every part of my heart poured onto paper.
He never knew it was me, and I never intended to tell him.
Until I get a job offer in Wolf Valley.
I know that I’ll likely never see him again, so in my final letter to Devon, I sign my name.
I figure that will be it and that I’ll have to let go of my crush on him and resign myself to never seeing him again.
Except he follows me here.
Now the man that I’ve always loved is here, and for the first time ever, he’s paying attention to me.

Devon
I joined the Army to serve, to protect, and to make a difference.
It kept me busy for years, and I thought that I had everything I wanted in life.
Until the first letter arrived.
Every month, like clockwork, a new letter would show up, all of them from a woman who refused to give me her name, a woman who seemed to know everything about me, and became everything to me.
Her words kept me alive in the darkest places.
Her kindness saved me when I didn’t want to be saved.
And then she sent me one last note, saying goodbye and finally telling me her name.
Suri Michaels.
She said goodbye in her letter, but I knew that wasn’t the end for us.
It’s the beginning.
I’m out of the military now and ready to settle down.

And I know just who I’m going to do that with.

Secured By My Mate 

by Luna Wilder

He rescued her, and now he’s going to claim her as his.

Reyes
When I get the call from the Midnight Haven, that we have someone asking for help, I assume that it’s going to be like every other rescue.
Until I get there and see just who we’re saving.
Taylor.
She’s curvy and beautiful, but that’s not what has my mouth watering.
It’s the fact that she’s mine.
Now that I’ve found my fated mate, I have to do a few things.
First, get her to safety.
Second, tell her about shifters and fated mates.
And third, convince her that she’s meant to be mine.

Taylor
When I’m kidnapped, I’m not sure what’s going on or how I’ll get out of this mess.
Luckily for me, a hero comes to save me.
He takes me back to his place and makes sure that I’m okay.
My crush on him starts that night, and it only grows from there.
Reyes is so handsome and kind.
I’m sure that he’d never be interested in someone like me.
Then he drops a bomb on me.
He tells me that he’s a shifter, that we’re fated mates, and that I’m meant to be his.
This all seems to be too good to be true.
Now I’m left wondering whether he's telling the truth, and what that means for the future.

Ebook Review: The Vanished Locket (A Mandevillian Paranormal Cozy Mystery Series) by Taryn Shae

 

Blurb

When ghosts whisper and heirlooms vanish, an artist must paint the truth before the past claims another victim.

After years away, artist Ashlyn Tenley returns home to Mandeville, Louisiana, to settle into the Victorian lake house left behind by her late sister Calista—only to discover the town remembers more than it admits.

There are missing cockatoos on the path to Louisiana but, that is just it. The path changes. Ashlyn's inheritance comes with peeling paint, lake views, and a Victorian house that watches her every move. Her calico cat, Deri, sees what she can't—shadows that shouldn't exist and a presence that smells of honeysuckle and secrets.

But before Ashlyn can unpack her paintbrushes, a cherished silver locket disappears from her friend Charmaine's jewelry box, followed by blackmail letters demanding silence.

With Deri's uncanny instincts and cryptic warnings from the peculiar Mr. Harrow—a town lifer who speaks only in riddles—Ashlyn navigates a web of suspects. Char's ex-husband needed money for his failing restaurant. The antique dealer who appraised the locket recently filed for bankruptcy. Both had motive and access.

Whoever stole the locket knows its darkest secret—and they'll destroy anyone who gets close to the truth.

Goodreads: The Vanished Locket: A Mandevillian Paranormal Cozy Mystery by Taryn Shae | Goodreads





My Review - 3.5-4 of 5 stars - 

This story was a bit confusing as it went, which made it a little hard for me to rate. I felt more like 3.5 stars would have been my choice. I loved how the cat was involved in the story all the way along. Ashlyn's ability to see, hear, and smell the paranormal around her added to the narrative. She was smart and kind as she helped find a cockatoo on a very stormy night. I would have preferred some kind of resolution, maybe a longer story to follow her as she tracked down the clues Mr. Harrow gave her. Overall, an interesting concept.

This is my unsolicited review.

Unscripted Christmas by Tess Thompson is available now!
Read Now With Kindle Unlimited

BINGE THE WHOLE SERIES!




Can a Hollywood star and a small-town speech therapist turn their impossible attraction into forever?

Jason Hayes has spent years chasing success and finally catching it. With a hit television show, a producer credit, and a future locked in Hollywood, he should feel fulfilled. Instead, when filming shuts down for December, he finds himself craving something fame has never given him. So he heads home to Sugarville Grove… and straight back into the orbit of the woman he can't stop thinking about.

Mauve didn't plan to fall for a famous actor, especially not after rebuilding her life post-divorce. Trading New York City for a quiet Vermont town gave her peace, purpose, and a job she loves helping children find their voices. Jason was supposed to be a fun, fleeting holiday spark. Nothing more.

Then came three perfect days in Los Angeles. Now he's back for Christmas and unable to stay away from the woman who's been on his mind ever since.

As snowy nights, cozy traditions, and Sugarville Grove’s tight-knit community pull them closer, Mauve sees past the celebrity to the man beneath—the one who's always dreamed of the family he never had. Jason, meanwhile, begins to wonder if the life he's built means anything without someone to share it with.

They want the same things. They just live in different worlds.

This Christmas, they'll have to decide whether to chase separate dreams on opposite coasts or risk everything for the love they both want.


 

Release Boost: The Gift (Empath Investigations #1) by Maddie Taylor

The Gift 

by Maddie Taylor 

Available now!

🔥 Opposites attract
🔥 Forced proximity
🔥 Psychic heroine
🔥 Protective hero
🔥 Workplace romance




A lawman falls for a woman with a rare gift. A killer will stop at nothing to possess it.

Texas Ranger Vince Cooper trusts evidence, instincts, and the badge on his chest. Psychics? Not a chance. But when a brutal murder and a missing teenage girl lead him to Erica Stevens, Vince can't deny that the beautiful, boho artist knows things about the crime scene she shouldn’t.

Erica rarely talks about her gift. The visions strike without warning—someone else’s fear, memories that don’t belong to her, flashes of violence she can’t unsee. Helping a skeptical Ranger investigate a murder is the last thing she needs, even if the grounded, old‑school lawman watching her with equal parts suspicion and heat is impossible to ignore.

As they work the case together, preconceived notions give way to undeniable chemistry. Trust builds. Desire sizzles. Coop’s protective instincts flare to life. And everything between them changes. 

But the investigation points straight to a ruthless Russian crime boss who collects debts in blood. When he learns about Erica’s ability, she becomes far more valuable than the money he’s hunting.

Now Coop isn’t just trying to solve a murder. He’s racing to save the woman he loves. Because once the boss decides something belongs to him, he never lets it go.

She doesn't want my help, but in this club you don't fight alone...

Dagger

She's gorgeous. Irresistible. Tough as nails. And ten years my junior. I should have stayed away. One night wasn't enough, but a woman this fierce doesn't have room in her life for a man like me. Or so I thought. 

She's got more steel in her spine than half of my brothers. She built her dance studio from the ground up, and guards her business like a queen protecting a kingdom. She even told the guy who wanted to buy her building to go to hell before she slammed the door. 

So why am I surprised to find her at the clubhouse weeks later? She's calm and resolved as she drops the biggest bombshell of my life on us both. But before I can even process what she's saying, she's drawing a line in the sand. She doesn't want money or protection or help. She just thought I should know the truth. 

What she didn't expect was that this club takes care of its own. And I've never been particularly good at following orders. 

And that investor who tried to steal her land? When he starts playing dirty, he doesn't realize he's not just messing with a smart-mouthed small business owner anymore. She thinks she's in this fight alone, but she's about to find out that when you share blood with this club, you get the whole damn patch.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars -

I loved this story. Katrina wanted to let Dagger know her news because of her past and did not ask for anything. She was truly independent, private, talented, and caring. Dagger felt that they were destined to be together from the moment he saw her the very first time. I loved his determination, loyalty, and acceptance. The fun of finding out who Katrina's father was added very much to the story. Family, both blood and brotherhood, featured very much in this story, and I was sad to see the series end. Well worth the read.

I received an ARC through 1852Media, and this is my unsolicited review.
