Dalton Tyler made a pact with his best friend—to keep the family farm in Pennsylvania going if Andy didn’t make it home himself.

So when the unthinkable actually happens, the first thing Dalton does when he finishes his own military service is head straight to small town Trinity Falls during the holidays to fulfill his promise.

As the hours he spends outside working the land begin to soothe his troubled heart, he quickly finds that he feels right at home with Andy’s parents and friends.

But Andy’s little sister Ella is another story.

But Ella’s heart seems to be locked away from the world. And after her brother’s sacrifice and her double loss, would it even be right for Dalton to search for the key?

When a Christmas snowstorm descends on the tiny village of Trinity Falls, Dalton and Ella may be forced to face the feelings they’ve been trying to deny. And maybe Dove’s secret wish will come true…

Trinity Falls Sweet Romance is all about finding family – one clean & wholesome romance at a time.

Audiobook Review: It Seemed Like a Good Idea (Darling Springs #1) by Lauren Blakely, narrators Erin Mallon and J.F. Harding

 

Blurb

He ghosted me once, now he’s supposed to protect me?

I don’t need a bodyguard—I run a small-town lavender farm, for bee’s sake. But when my identical twin sister lands the movie role of a lifetime that’s being shot in my hometown I get one anyway.

And guess which broody, tattooed protector the studio sends to keep the paparazzi off my porch?

Last month’s almost one-night stand.

The guy with the wicked mouth and heated eyes who slipped out before the fun even started. But turns out the sexy jerk is excellent at rescuing me from sneaky photographers at the market. Then the coffee shop. I’m trying hard to stay mad after the third time my new bodyguard saves me.

To top it all off, he’s staying in the cottage at my farm. With me. And there’s only one bed.

Maybe if we finally give in and finish what we started, it’ll relieve the tension? But one night quickly turns into another. Then into late-night secrets and soft confessions we shouldn’t say out loud. Especially since he’s leaving and I’m staying, and there’s no way we can be more than a summer romance that ends far too soon.

Escape into a spicy and hilarious forbidden small town rom com from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely!

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

This was a fun story with steamy scenes and suspense. Ripley ran a lavender farm, and her twin Haven was an actress, and the two came together for filming. Banks became her bodyguard to keep her safe. Their attraction was strong enough to override common sense, and love grew. I loved Ripley's loyalty and protectiveness toward her sister and Darling Springs. She was strong, intelligent, and quite willing to try new things. Banks tried hard to keep things business, but his heart wouldn't let him. With a couple hiccups and some stalking, the story kept moving along.
With the help of the narration by Erin Mallon and J.F. Harding, I found it hard to stop listening. They brought these characters to life quite brilliantly.

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

READ THE EXCERPT:

Ripley

He’s touching me in some kind of slo-mo seduction. His fingers move to my jawline, the pads grazing along my face, then coming to a stop at my chin where he holds me. Roams his thumb right under my lower lip. Breathes out hard, full of wanting.

I am done.

“Just kiss me,” I whisper, already begging.

His lips curve up in the pleased grin of a man who holds the cards. “Patience,” he says, voice deep and in charge.

“I’m not feeling very patient,” I murmur.

“Good,” he says, a lion toying with his prey.

Pounce on me.

Night Light 

by Jennifer Bernard 

Available On All Platforms




On Sea Smoke Island, secrets never stay buried—and the truth is never safe.

Every time Detective Tina Chen comes to Sea Smoke Island, two things happen. One, criminals get busted. Two, she nearly loses her lunch on the boat ride over. This time, maybe things will be different. She’s on vacation, for one thing. Mandated vacation. But what kind of vacation would it be without an investigation to keep her busy? Enter Marigold Olson, who hires her to locate the mystery man who ditched her at the altar. His trail takes Tina to the Lightkeeper Inn and a head-on collision with … her longtime TV crush?

Jack Finnegan is no detective, though he plays one on a long-running crime series. But since no one will believe him that his sister Jessie’s in trouble, finding her is on him. Why has she disappeared from their grandparents’ old cottage on Sea Smoke? Who was the man she was seeing? And why can’t he shake the feeling that something has gone terribly wrong? Teaming up with the hot badass cop Tina is a no-brainer, at least for him. He’s not the one with the crush…not yet.

On Sea Smoke Island, the connections go deep, and soon Tina and Jack are dodging bullets and getting drawn into a notorious unsolved murder. And that’s before they discover they’ve stumbled onto a secret more dangerous than they ever imagined. What is the truth behind Night Light? Can they unbury it before it buries them?

NIGHT LIGHT is an opposites attract, reverse grumpy/sunshine, romantic suspense set on the hauntingly beautiful coast of Maine.


 

Release Boost: Lyrics Remain Unchanged (Heartbreak Mixtapes #2) by Claudia Burgoa

Lyrics Remain Unchanged 

by Claudia Burgoa 

Releases on February 25th!

MMF Best Friend's Little Sister Romance

https://geni.us/LyricsRemain
Available With Kindle Unlimited




From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes a high-heat, high-angst rockstar-billionaire MMF romance with a lie big enough to save a life—and a second chance at HEA.

Fall 2000, New York—I disappear.

Headlines circle like vultures, but only two men know the truth:
Eddie Reznor, who makes problems vanish and lets his guard fall only for me, and Barret Hetfield, the bright-but-bruised rockstar Eddie once rescued . . . and never stopped loving.

We hide while the city gossips. We let the world believe I’m gone so I can finally breathe.
In the quiet, we re-learn the shape of us—therapy that holds me together, small rituals, guitar chords, and midnight tea.

My body is relearning trust under hands that listen and a voice that won’t let me disappear.
Eddie is the line I hold. Barret is the spark.

I want to choose both.

Their plan keeps me alive. Their heat keeps me fierce.
And love like this won’t stay secret.
When the façade cracks and the cameras close in, I have to choose: keep vanishing, or step into the light with the two men who are already home.

This time, the melody is different. But the lyrics remain unchanged.


 

Release Boost: A Very Grumpy Roommate (Wolf Valley: Grumps #11) by Shaw Hart

A Very Grumpy Roommate 

by Shaw Hart 

Available on All Platforms




He needed a quiet place to stay. He got her instead.

Daisy:
I’m in trouble.
I’m scrambling to pay my bills and keep my grandmother’s house from being taken by the bank.
I’ve tried everything that I can think of, and now I’m desperate.
So, I make a post advertising for a roommate.
None of the people who contact me seem like a good fit.
Until Ledger.

Ledger:
As a Navy SEAL, I’m used to order, discipline, and solitude.
I love it. I crave it.
And so that’s what I’m hoping to find in a roommate.
There are no houses or apartments for rent in Wolf Valley, not for the sporadic days that I’ll be there.
So, I start scouring listings looking for a roommate, and I think that I’ve really lucked out when I see Daisy’s post.
Then I meet her.
Daisy is my opposite in every way.
She’s sunshine in yoga pants, with a rescue dog, a houseplant addiction, and a tendency to hum to herself nonstop.
She’s the opposite of what I thought I was looking for, but the more time that I spend with her, the more I start to fall for her, and it doesn’t take me long to realize I might be in more trouble than any mission I’ve ever faced.

Living with Daisy feels less like a temporary arrangement… And more like home.

Blurb:

Trouble had found its way to our doorstep, and it hadn’t come alone.

And through the lies, the blood, and the betrayal, there was her. 


She was part of my past I couldn’t bury.

I never expected to see her again, but there she was.

Beautiful as ever and a pull I couldn’t shake


It was time to face the truth.
