Teaser: Inn a Heartbeat (No Reservations #1) by Campbell Linden



Inn A Heartbeat by Campbell Linden releases on August 21st!

Read With Kindle Unlimited

He’s her boss. She’s sworn off love. But one kiss changes everything.

Pete Hansen has built his life on instinct on the ice and off. So when the retired hockey star buys a small-town inn in Chapman, Connecticut, he doesn’t expect the one thing he can’t outrun… his undeniable attraction to his head of marketing, Susie O’Connor.

Smart, guarded, and fiercely devoted to her ten-year-old son, Susie has no interest in mixing business with pleasure. Especially not with a man like Pete. Charming. Persistent. And far too easy to fall for.

But the closer they work together, the harder it becomes to ignore the spark between them.

As small-town gossip swirls, tensions rise, and Susie’s closest friendship begins to unravel, keeping her distance from Pete might cost her more than she’s willing to lose.

Because some risks aren’t just worth taking…

They’re worth everything.

Blurb:

I had two men, one secret marriage, and a love the law refused to name.

Then came the accident.

When I woke up, Halston Saint Claire was hidden behind his family’s money, lawyers, and lies. Creed Lafontaine was gone. Everyone around me insisted the rings, the vows, the three of us—it was all trauma talking.

So I did what broken girls with color-coded calendars and trust issues do best.

I survived.

Now I live in Florence, restoring damaged art and pretending the past doesn’t still have its hands on me. Until one forged document drags me back into the Saint Claire world, where old money buries truth, families weaponize concern, and the two men I never stopped loving are closer than I’m ready for.

Creed remembers everything.

Halston remembers in fragments.

And I remember enough to know our love wasn’t the lie.

It was the thing everyone tried to erase.

Now the three of us have one chance to uncover what really happened that night, reclaim the marriage stolen from us, and decide whether a love built for three can survive ten years of betrayal.

Because in the Saint Claire world, love was never the most dangerous thing.

It was the lies we played to survive it.

Release Boost: Grumpily Yours (Stick Taps) by Teagan Hunter, narrators Chloe Ryan and Nelson Hobbs


Grumpily Yours by Teagan Hunter is now live on audio!

Narrated by: Chloe Ryan & Nelson Hobbs 



When a blacklisted chef is forced to work for a grumpy ex–NHL player, sparks fly in and out of the kitchen. A steamy workplace romance about rebuilding dreams, breaking rules, and finding forever.

When a public meltdown ruins chef Summer Turner’s career, she flees to her hometown in the Pacific Northwest, hoping to rediscover her passion for cooking. Summer doesn’t want to work for someone else again, but when her father secures her a job at a local cidery, she doesn’t dare say no, even if it means working for scowling former NHL player Ezra Rawlings.

After a career-ending injury, Ezra knows what it’s like to lose everything. Emotionally guarded, he’s sworn off relationships to focus on business. But sparring with Summer ignites something he thought was gone forever, and what starts as a casual fling becomes impossible to ignore.

As their connection deepens and defenses crumble, their explosive chemistry threatens every boundary they’ve set. Summer’s determined to prove she’s not a failure, while Ezra’s convinced he’s too broken for love. But two stubborn hearts might be exactly what each other needs—if they’re brave enough to stop running.

My Review - 4 1/2 of 5 stars - 


4 1/2 stars. This was an enjoyable story. Both Summer and Ezra had their confidence destroyed because of some bad luck/injury/timing. Their attraction was strong, and they helped heal each other. Summer was shy about taking on her own kitchen again, though family and Ezra pushed until she felt stronger. Ezra was a bit self-centered, focused heavily on his "failure". The secondary characters, friends and family, were great support. Loved it.
The narration by Chloe Ryan and Nelson Hobbs was well done. They brought life and emotion to the story. They were a pleasure to listen to.

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




Promise Me This by Jennifer Sucevic is now live on audio!

Narrated by: JF Harding & Savannah Peachwood 



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.
