🌶From Wall Street Journal and USAToday bestselling author comes a BROTHER’S BEST FRIEND, steamy MC romance.

I knew Keno was dangerous the second he walked into my bar.

He’s a nomad with the Royal Bastards.

A badass biker.

The kind of man who won’t take no for an answer.

And my brother’s best friend.

I thought I’d escaped my past, running thirteen hundred miles to start my own life, but it just showed up on my doorsteps in the shape of the man I’d always crushed on.

Before, Keno barely knew I existed.

Now that I’m all grown up, he’s suddenly set his sights on me.

But I’m not his for the taking.

I’m trying to save my business, and the last thing I need is a possessive biker with a cocky smile obsessed with me.

Only Keno won’t backdown.

Not when he’s decided I’m his.

Not even when I sass him at every turn.

Not even when my brother finds out.

Because Keno won’t stop until I belong to him.

Audiobook Release: Stay With Me (Dangerous Obsession #1) by Nikki Sloane, narrators June deBorahae, Ryan Hudson, Chris Merlin, with my review

 

Stay With Me by Nikki Sloane is now live on audio!

Narrated by: June deBorahae, Ryan Hudson, & Chris Merlin

When the spotlight turns deadly, survival becomes the performance of her life.

A single gunshot rings out, shattering Laurel Hayward’s debut as a professional dancer—and witnessing an assassination is only the beginning of her nightmare. The ruthless killer will stop at nothing to find her—determined to possess her or silence her forever.

Enter Deputy U.S. Marshal Jason Dunn: handsome, confident, and far too good at getting under Laurel’s skin. Keeping her alive is his job, but keeping his distance? Impossible. Alone in the secluded safe house, the line between duty and desire blurs into something too powerful to resist.

Laurel needs Jason to survive. Jason needs her to finally capture the ghost who’s haunted his career for years. But as their attraction ignites, the obsessed killer returns with a deadly final act . . .

And it could cost them everything

My Review - 4 1/2 of 5 stars - 

4 1/2 stars. Laurel witnessed an assassination and got caught up in one man's obsession. Jason tried to protect her and stay professional, but the flame between them burned bright. He almost lost his job, but circumstances put a different plan in motion. Jason wanted to protect Laurel, and I loved how gruff he tried to be but softened for her. Laurel was able to face a lot of violence, yet could take action. The last bit of the story was entertaining even though I knew what was truly happening.
The narrators (June deBorahae, Ryan Hudson, Chris Merlin) did a great job. They had me feeling the emotions as well as the story.

New Badge. Old Blood.

Nick Drake traded his past for the Sheriff’s star, but Harney County doesn’t do election honeymoons. His tenure kicks off with a double homicide staged as a murder-suicide—a lie Nick isn't buying. As he digs into the crime’s rotting core, the rookie Sheriff finds himself fighting a war on two fronts: a lethal learning curve with unproven deputies and a political recall designed to bury him. In the high lonesome where secrets kill, Nick must strike first and strike hard. Because in this office, the only thing shorter than his term is his life expectancy.

Styxx

Six months ago, my life was chrome, asphalt, and club business. Now, it’s colic, three a.m. feedings, and trying to figure out how a man with blood on his hands is supposed to raise a daughter. Getting my own place away from the clubhouse was supposed to give us a fresh start, but now I’m drowning. And my brothers' ol' ladies are protective as hell, but they can’t be here every time the baby cries.

Lucky for me, one of the girls next door won't stop offering to babysit. And when I finally take her up on it, it's her older sister who has my attention. I realize I know who she is. Seen her before. Only never in the light of day. She's dancing at night to pay their bills, and seeing her now, I can tell she's on the run from something. I should keep my distance, but I can't help myself. So when their past catches up to them, I'm not about to let them face it alone. I'm used to fighting for my club, and I'm prepared to do whatever it takes to fight for all three of the girls who have become mine.

Every Shattered Note 

by Claudia Burgoa

https://geni.us/ShatteredNote

Read With Kindle Unlimited

From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes a slow-burn, mistaken-identity romance about hidden fame, second chances at life, and the woman who accidentally falls for a rockstar in disguise.

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.

I think I’m finally ready to fall in love… I just didn’t expect it to be with my grumpy boss.

Pearl
I’ve worked at Wolf Valley Veterinary Clinic for years.
I love my job, I love the animals, and I loved working with Dr. Harris before he retired.
Then his replacement gets here, and I realize that there might be something else I love about my job.
Him.
Dr. Wells Bennett.
He’s quiet, brooding, annoyingly handsome, and the kind of man who looks at you once and sees too much.
He showed up a few months ago to help out his mentor, but then he stayed.
Took over the clinic.
Took over my routine.
Took over my peace of mind.
Now I’m dealing with a boss who barely talks, glowers at anyone who smiles with me, and finds excuses to stay late when I’m the only other one here.
I should be focusing on my work, but all I can think about is what it would feel like if my grumpy vet finally made a move.

Wells
I came to Wolf Valley to help my mentor through his last months at the clinic.
I thought it would be temporary.
Then I met Pearl.
She’s sunshine and fire all wrapped into one gorgeous, curvy woman who cares more about animals than most people care about each other.
The first day I saw her hold a trembling puppy to her chest and whisper softly to comfort him, I was done for.
Completely gone.
So, when my mentor retired, I didn’t hesitate.
I stayed.
But things are complicated.
Pearl works for me, and I’m terrified of risking the one bright thing I have here.
Only now, every day she’s near me is torture.
Every smile she gives someone else is a punch to the gut.
And every time she brushes past me in the hallway, I have to remind myself she’s not mine.

Not yet.

 

Cover Reveal and Preorder: The Ugly Stick (Stallions Hockey Romance) by Cori Lane

The Ugly Stick 

by Cori Lane 

Releases on May 26th!

https://geni.us/TheUglyStick

Read With Kindle Unlimited

When hockey’s grumpiest single dad returns to my hometown, he doesn’t even recognize me as the ugly duckling from his past.

I was the most forgettable girl in high school. You know the one – fat, braces, bad clothes, the works. And so painfully awkward that it never occurred to me to fight back, even when the other kids said I got beat with the ugly stick.

But ten years later, I’m a whole new woman. I’ve lost weight, gained confidence, and all I want is to enjoy the new life I’ve built and leave the past where it belongs.

Of course, that would be a whole lot easier if I didn’t just find out that big-time hockey star Caleb Stone, the leader of that crew of popular kids who made my high school life so miserable, is back home to play for the Stallions this year after losing his temper on the ice one too many times to stay in the big league.

It’s bad enough that he’s got the whole town talking, but now he’s eating at the diner where I work, shopping where I shop, and to top it off, he’s even living in my building!

Then I see him with his daughter. Daisy has Down syndrome and a smile that lights up a room. And as the sweet little girl and her single dad melt my heart, I start to wonder if maybe Caleb Stone isn’t the man I always thought he was.

So much for leaving the past behind me…


If you’re craving a clean, no spice romance with elements like:

• a hockey celebrity returning to his home town
• an ugly duckling becoming a swan
• a single dad with a very special daughter
• a cozy small-town setting
• forced proximity
• a grumpy sunshine duo you can’t help rooting for

This is the book for you!

 

Release: Second Song (The Parent App #4) by Tess Thompson

Second Song 

by Tess Thompson 

Available now!

https://geni.us/SecondSong

Available on Kindle Unlimited

Authors have two favorite words. The End.

He spent the winter reading every one of her love stories. She's been listening to his heartbreak in her favorite three-chord country song for years — long before he showed up behind the bar at the local watering hole.

Seraphina Sinclair has written sixty-one romance novels. All those happily-ever-afters for her characters—and never one for herself.

In real life she's been doing just fine on her own, thank you very much, raising her son in their cliffside home above the Pacific and leaving her heart safely out of the equation. Until her son asks the brooding, beautiful bartender for guitar lessons, and suddenly Hunter Sloan is in her house every Thursday at four-thirty, and Seraphina's muses are working overtime. The man is an absolute problem.

Hunter Sloan came to Willet Cove to disappear. After a bitter divorce, he gave up Nashville and took a job behind the bar at the local pub, telling himself a quieter life was what he needed. He was supposed to heal, write some songs, and figure out what came next. He wasn't supposed to fall for a woman who writes romances for a living and hasn't let anyone close in years. He definitely wasn't supposed to spend an entire winter reading all sixty of her novels alone in a cottage by the sea.

For a year they've been circling each other, neither of them brave enough to close the distance.

Luckily, Seraphina's son and his band of determined teenage matchmakers have other ideas.

The fourth book in the beloved Parent App series, Second Song is a slow-burn, small-town romance about two people who found each other's art before they found each other — and what happens when you fall for the man who wrote your favorite song.

Turns out Seraphina's two favorite words might not be The End after all. They might just be The Beginning.

 

Ebook Review: Claiming Crypt (Graven Bastards MC Tonopah #22) by Nikki Landis

 

Blurb: 

Crypt:
Five years ago, I got popped for assault and possession with a deadly weapon.
What the public records don't say is the reason.
I had to get justice for my younger sister.
Two years later, I'm waiting for her visit when a gorgeous blonde enters and snags my attention.
Fate decides to mess with me because not only is she inside when a riot breaks out, but she's also the daughter of the scariest outlaw in Ely State Prison: Hannibal, a Graven Bastards MC member.
When he's injured, and she's forced to defend herself, I step in.
And that's when I take a bullet to the stomach. For her.
It's also when I kiss her, promising to find her once I'm out.
I don't see her again, not until I'm in Vegas to visit a rodeo with only one mission: Find Rachel.
But she doesn't want another bad boy biker screwing up her life or the little girl I never knew she had.
It doesn't matter. She's already mine.
I'm relentless when I want something, and I crave Rachel.
I won't back down even when old enemies, an overprotective father, or fate itself tries to rip us apart.
She's already claimed me, and I won't stop hunting her until I've proved it.
Fate be damned because my Reaper isn't letting her go either.

Claiming Crypt is a dark romance that includes steamy scenes, biker slang, violence, and a paranormal REAPER twist. You'll find a possessive, protective outlaw who'll do anything to convince the woman he met during a prison riot that he's more than a criminal record and a feisty single mom who also happens to be the daughter of one of the most notorious bikers in Nevada. The series is best enjoyed when read in order.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars -

I enjoyed this story a lot. Crypt saved Rachel's life in a split moment, and then they don't see each other for a while. Rachel was a desperate mother trying to rescue her daughter, and finally called her father for help. Crypt never forgot Rachel, and when he sees her, he basically claims her. They went through a lot because of Rachel's ex, and the MC accepted both of them with open arms. I loved visiting this MC family.

He was looking for love. She needed a defender. Together, they could have everything.

The death of Lady Cordelia's husband left her at the mercy of his cruel heir, a distant cousin who makes her an offer she has to refuse. Desperate to escape a dishonorable fate - and protect her stepdaughter - she accepts the first honorable offer of marriage that she receives – the powerful and stern Marquess of Dunbury. She was prepared to be the perfect, placid, accommodating wife… she never expected the passion and sinful pleasure her new husband brought to their wedding night.

The Marquess of Dunbury was enamored of Lady Cordelia from the moment he met her and laid his claim immediately. Once she's his, he can't keep his hands off her, even when they risk being caught during secret rendezvous just outside the ton's ballrooms. He sees everything she doesn't believe she is and he's going to make her see herself the way he does.

Everything would be perfect... except for one person who is determined to ruin Cordelia's newfound happiness.

With her unfashionable red hair and generous curves, Lady Cecilia Edwards enters the marriage mart with modest hopes—a respectable gentleman, or perhaps a minor baron. But a moonlit stroll ends in ruin. To salvage her reputation, she must wed the last man she ever imagined: Andrew Ashwick, a wealthy, stunningly handsome viscount, and her older sister's suitor.

 

Cecilia fears she's destined to be forever second best in her new husband's eyes. Yet in the quiet of Andrew's country estate, she discovers a man both commanding and unexpectedly passionate. Laughter, tenderness, and stolen kisses begin to stir something deeper—something perilously close to love.

 

Tragedy and a sudden inheritance send them into the heart of London society. Thrust into the dukedom, Andrew faces the burdens of power while Cici becomes the target of alarming attacks. Is it her envious sister, cheated out of title and fortune, or Andrew's former mistress, unwilling to let him go? As gossip and betrayal threaten to tear them apart, Cici and Andrew must unmask the hand behind the danger—before jealousy, doubt, and duplicity destroy them both.
