He’ll do anything to guard her and keep her safe.

Logan
I prefer to be left alone.
I spend my days at my cabin, working, and that’s the way I like it.
Until Vivian stumbles onto my land and collapses at my feet.
It takes me a second to realize that I’ve just found my fated mate, and another second to realize that she’s in danger.
So, I do the logical thing and bring her inside.
I call the Midnight Haven for help and watch over her while she’s treated.
She’s still in danger, though, and my bear and I will do anything to protect our mate.
Now that we’ve found her, we’ll never let her go.
We just need to figure out a way to tell Vivian that.

Vivian
It took me weeks to come up with my escape plan and for the time to be right for me to enact it.
Things didn’t exactly go as planned, but at least I’m out, and that’s what’s most important.
Now I need to come up with another plan to put some distance between me and the cult.
Except, my savior seems to have other plans.
Logan says I am home, and I’m not going anywhere.
He’s determined to guard me and keep me safe.
I don’t know why being around him feels so right, but I know that I can’t give in to his demands.
I need to make a decision.

Do I run away and find somewhere far away, somewhere safe, or do I stay with my guard and trust that he’ll always keep me safe?

I’m a city girl through and through. But a single dad and his adorable daughter are starting to make small town Angel Mountain feel a lot like home…

Landing a job with a big-city publisher was my dream come true. But causing the scandal that ended my career before it really got started turned it into more of a nightmare. And ever since “the incident,” no other publishing company will even give me the time of day.

So when I get the chance to take over a small-town bookshop in the Pocono Mountains, it feels like fate. Running my own little shop isn’t exactly my area of expertise. But at least it’s a life surrounded by books, which is all I ever really wanted.

It’s not easy. But somehow, through all the surprises and growing pains, it’s thoughts of Roan Connelly that keep me up at night. The local Christmas tree farmer has a little girl who lights up my whole heart like the north star. And it probably doesn’t help that he’s also unbelievably gorgeous and so kind that it sometimes brings tears to my eyes, or that he smells like pine trees and paradise.

But I’m clearly barking up the wrong Douglas Fir, since the rugged single dad seems content to ignore the smoldering chemistry that’s building between us. I guess some things just aren’t meant to be, no matter how hard you try to stay on Santa’s nice list.

Now, with a big snowstorm on the way, the bookshop in real trouble, and Roan’s little daughter longing for an unlikely Christmas gift, my only hope is that against all odds, the stars will somehow align for the three of us, and for the little town that I’m starting to love…

Oh Little Town is a clean & wholesome Christmas romance, perfect for anyone who loves a lighthearted holiday rom-com and a happily-ever-after.

If you love no spice romance books and you’re a fan of stories with tropes like: Single Dad, Small town, Christmas Holiday, Grumpy & Sunshine, Snowed-in, and more, this is the series for you!

Neither of them planned for this.

Fern:
I’ve orchestrated dozens of perfect weddings, but planning my cousin’s lavish seaside ceremony might be my breaking point.
Between demanding relatives and last-minute disasters, I’m close to losing my mind.
The only bright spot is the quiet, watchful man stationed near the doors.
The second I see Jackson, I forget all about floral arrangements and the stress of my job.
When he looks at me, I feel things that I've never felt before.
He’s a Navy SEAL, a man built for danger and discipline, and for some reason, every time I smile at him, his jaw tightens like I’m a problem he can’t solve.
I tell myself not to care, that a man like him would never be interested in me, but I can't seem to help myself.
I want the sexy SEAL.
I just have no idea how to make that happen.

Jackson:
I’m only doing security at this fancy coastal wedding as a favor to my friend.
The job is supposed to be easy.
Just smile. Scan the exits. Stay professional.
That was the plan… until I see her.
Fern, with her warm eyes, mouthwatering curves, and sugar-sweet smiles.
One look and I know I don’t just want a week with her.
I want everything.

Now I just need to convince her that we’re meant to be and that the next wedding she’s planning needs to be ours.

Author Bio:

Karen Renee is the author of the Riot Motorcycle Club, Beta, and O-Town series of books. She once crunched Nielsen ratings data but these days she brings her imagination to life by writing books. She has wanted to be a writer since she was very young, but it's taken the last twenty plus years for her to amass enough courage and overall life experience to bring that dream to life. Some of those life experiences came from the wonderful world of advertising, banking, and local television media research. She is a proud wife and mother, and a Jacksonville native. When she's not at the soccer field or cooking, you can find her at her local library, the grocery store, in her car jamming out to some tunes, or hibernating while she writes and/or reads books.

Ebook Review: Echo: Hold (Men of Echo Ridge #4) by Delta James

 

Blurb: 

Some missions protect the world. This one protects my family.

I walked away from Rachel Donovan eight years ago, thinking distance would keep her safe.
I was wrong.

Her son just witnessed a Committee execution, and now they’re hunting them both. Protecting them is the mission… but the moment Rachel opens the door, I know it’s more than that.

I’ll hold the line.
I’ll hold Lucas safe.
And this time, I’m not letting her go.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

I found this to be intense. I had to keep turning the pages to see how all the parts came together. Rachel was so strong, a loving and protective mother, though she had her moments of doubt. I loved that she was willing to trust her rescuers and beyond, to learn some self-defense, and trying to maintain some semblance of truth with her son. Colton deeply regretted his decision to leave her when they were younger, though his justification seemed sound to him. He accepted the chance to rectify their situation. I really enjoyed this story.

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

Blitz: Can't Shoot Whiskey by Zoe Forward with an excerpt and a giveaway

Can’t Shoot Whiskey

by Zoe Forward

Release date: April 6th 2026

Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/249122930-can-t-shoot-whiskey

Blurb:

Josh Hurst was supposed to be my forever. Instead, he became the villain in my origin story.

I gave him my heart. He broke it without flinching. So, I did what any self-respecting, heart-shattered girl would do—I declared war.

Our revenge game? Legendary.

Until I left for college and swore I’d never look back.

But life doesn’t care about vows made in the dark.

When my father dies unexpectedly, I’m dragged back to the hometown I outgrew, handed guardianship of my grieving kid brother, and forced to take over my father’s struggling veterinary clinic.

And waiting for me—like karma with a smirk—is Josh.

Not as a memory.

Not as a ghost.

But as my new business partner.

Avoiding him? Impossible.

Forgetting what we were? Laughable.

He still looks at me like I’m his. Like we’re a story paused instead of over. Like one spark is all it would take.

And God help me, the spark is still there.

But we don’t do soft. We don’t do safe.

We do oil and fire. War and wreckage.

Whatever we once were—

Whatever we still could be—

We’re enemies.

And this time, nobody’s walking away unburned.

EXCERPT

“You look tired,” a low voice said behind me. 

Whiskey? I craned around the cow’s backside to see a face I wished I could forget, one whose disgusting symmetry I’d left in the past. Josh Hurst’s brown eyes sparkled with something. Was it condescension or judgement or humor? I couldn’t read him. He didn’t deserve that ridiculous nickname I’d blurted out in a mush-brained moment of getting lost in those eyes long ago. It wasn’t the first time I’d thought he was sexy, but it had been the first time he really saw me too. 

The wind ruffled his brown hair, a little longer than I remembered—at least on top—and untouched by time with no hint of thinning or greying. He was supposed to turn into a gargoyle after high school—double chin, bald head, maybe pushing three hundred pounds. Not this. Not muscles everywhere and those long legs in jeans that still made something tighten low in my stomach. Stubble shadowed his jaw but didn’t hide that he lacked even a hint of a double chin. Lordy, seeing him as a full-grown adult absolutely blew my mind.

A brief smile showed he’d fixed the imperfectly aligned front teeth while he rubbed the cow’s ears.

Damn his audacity to refuse to decay like he was supposed to.

“I got this. The hard part is done. I’ve got the calf in position.” I might have shrieked it out a little too loud. I took a break to stand up and prove I wasn’t intimidated by his six foot-plus frame. 

“Here, I'll get it.” He shouldered past me, his mud-caked boots coming dangerously close to crushing my feet. He gave a few solid tugs and out came the calf. My hard work to make sure it was properly placed made delivery a breeze. I watched, immobile until the moment…

The calf took a breath. It was alive. Thank, God. 

I’m not a farm vet, but I’d done that. I had turned the baby and helped it deliver safely. I crouched next to the calf, removed gunk from its face, and palpated everywhere to make sure all legs and hips were intact. Everything checked out normal.

I stood up and stared at Josh, who wouldn’t look me in the eyes. He remained fixated on the calf.

I waited for him to say I'd done a great job to make his part easy.

Where was the credit I deserved for over an hour of pain?

He unhooked the calf from the puller, wiped the baby down again, and massaged the calf into movement.

I wanted to scream, “I can’t feel my arms and you can’t even say thank you?”

“So glad you could get the little lady set straight,” the elder Sawyer drawled behind us. “She sure was struggling. All in the ears, ain't that right, Doc?”

“The ears?” I echoed. I glared at Josh, waiting for him to correct Mr. Sawyer’s misconception.

Josh still didn’t make eye contact with me. Nothing had changed. The war was still on. Josh would continue to do whatever he could to one-up me.

Blurb: 

I plan other people’s love stories for a living. Perfect nights. Perfect moments. Perfect control.

So when my guitarist cancels an hour before a high-profile event, I do what any professional would do—panic quietly and pray for a miracle.

Then he walks in.

Late. Soaked from the rain. Incredibly handsome. Unapologetically charming.

A man I absolutely shouldn’t notice.

He plays music like the storm outside taught him how to feel.

He saves the night. And without meaning to, he starts unraveling mine.

I don’t know that he’s a world-famous musician in hiding.

I only know that when he looks at me, the world stops spinning.

I build love stories for other people. It’s chaotic, but it’s always strategic, straight-forward.

But this time, the one falling—hard, fast, and completely unplanned—is me.

There’s no seating chart that can contain, or explain, the storm that is Dexter Vaughn. But maybe his humor, guitars, and big heart is exactly what I need to build my own breathtaking love story.
