When she was young, Serena Lewis was uprooted from the life she knew. Her parents took her from everything and everyone she loved, including her best friends… her cousins. Rebelling against the change, Serena became a young woman she knew her family wouldn’t like. Now that she's moving back home, she hopes to keep that part of herself in the past and become the woman she's meant to be.

 

Jed Monroe is a self-made man. Forced to grow up at a young age, he's always taken care of himself and worked to get what he needed. Working construction has given him stability, but working with wood is where his passion truly lies. 

 

On the outside, petite and perfect Serena and rough and hardworking Jed have nothing in common. When Serena moves into the house next door, Jed is determined to ignore the sexy art gallery manager, who he just knows will be a pain in his ass.

 

But their shared loved of creating beauty from pain, along with the intangible chemistry that fires whenever they’re in the same space, forces them to dig beneath the surface to find their vulnerability. Jed will soon see that whether he likes Serena or not, she’s Too Enchanting to ignore.

 

 

Too Enchanting is the fourth in an all-new small town romance series by Bethany Lopez. Follow the Lewis cousins of Cherry Springs, the kind of place where there are festivals for every occasion and everyone knows your business, as they learn about love and loss.

JACOB'S LADDER: ELI (JACOB'S LADDER) BY KATIE ASHLEY

 

 

 

Release Date: March 26, 2018

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

One wouldn’t expect a sexy-as-sin rocker like Eli Renard to spend time with a woman just as a friend, but that’s exactly what Emersyn Wallace is to him. Just a friend. Even though she’s matured into a beauty, Eli still doesn’t remotely see his childhood pal as a sex-object. When tragedy brings her back into his world, Eli moves mountains to help Emersyn get back onto her feet by finding her a job as a backup singer for Jacob’s Ladder. At first, Eli is thrilled that Emerysn is along on tour, and he sets out to do his best to help her forget her sorrow through a range of crazy friend dates. But after spending so much time with her in such close quarters, Eli finds his feelings beginning to shift. He no longer sees Emersyn as the once awkward young girl he played some of his first songs with. Soon it’s not only his body that reacts to her, but it’s also his heart. He’s about to learn what a dangerous game it is to dry a widow’s tears.

 

After losing her husband and singing partner in a tragic accident, Emersyn Wallace spent the last eight months drowning in a sea of grief. With the bills piling up and her family and friends concerned about her emotional welfare, she reluctantly agrees to join the Jacob’s Ladder’s tour. While recapturing her lost love of singing and performing, she finds both comfort and healing in Eli’s gregarious personality and outrageous sense of humor. But as the anniversary of her husband’s death approaches, she finds herself in turmoil over her new amorous feelings for Eli.

 

Can Eli and Emersyn find the perfect melody to transition from friends to lovers, or will their relationship end out of tune?

OUR LAST FIRST KISS (HEARTBREAK HOTEL) BY CHRISTIE RIDGWAY

 

 

 

Release Date: March 27, 2018

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Welcome to the famed resort, The Hathaway at Dragonfly Beach, where newlyweds come to honeymoon, where anniversary couples celebrate milestones, and where broken hearts find a place to heal.

 

After her best friend is jilted at the altar, maid of honor Lilly Durand whisks the bride to Dragonfly Beach and its legendary hotel, determined to help her overcome her misery. Lilly won’t admit it, but she’s hurting too. During the few days of pre-wedding festivities, a powerful attraction had grown between her and the handsome and confident best man, Alec Thatcher. Now she’ll never see him again, but she’s decided to consider that a good thing. This way her inconvenient crush can’t turn into something so dangerous as love. But then, to her dismay, she discovers Alec is just a room key away at what some call the Heartbreak Hotel.

 

Alec Thatcher doesn’t have the time or inclination for long-term romance. Serial dating has suited his confirmed-bachelor status just fine—until he meets Lilly Durand and his world turns on its axis. She claims to be as relationship-averse as he, but when the two of them are together he can’t recall his own reasons against commitment. Though Lilly touches his heart and soul, she’s as cautious as she is sexy. With a stubborn streak a mile long, Alec will have to exert all his powers of persuasion to give Lilly her last first kiss...

REVIEWOUR LAST FIRST KISS (HEARTBREAK HOTEL) BY CHRISTIE RIDGWAY

 

Our Last First Kiss (Heartbreak Hotel Book 1)Our Last First Kiss by Christie Ridgway

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


When it comes to love Lilly Durand prefers to watch from the sidelines. Past experience has taught her the destructive power of love, pain follows closely in it's wake. Her best friend's disasterous wedding is one more reason that she's made the right choice. How ironic that her stubbornness proves to be her undoing. Alec is bad for her head, but perfect for her heart. Can two people who don't believe in love, discover happily ever after out of the ashes of a jilted wedding? Christie Ridgway has been a favorite of mine since my first romance. She charms the soul as she imparts wisdom through her beautiful creations. Our Last First Kiss is evidence of an enduring legacy built on hope, happiness and heart

SYNOPSIS

 

A ZEBRA SHOUT FRESH NEW ROMANCE

The Fernandez sisters have always had big dreams, and the talent and drive to pursue them. And in this sunny, spicy new series, each one will discover that success is that much sweeter when love follows . . .

Rosa Fernandez doesn't act on impulse--she's the responsible one, planning her career with precision, finally landing a job as the librarian at conservative Queen of Peace Academy, confining her strongest emotions to her secret poetry journal. But she's been harboring a secret crush on dreamy Jeremy Taylor, and after one dance with him at her sister's wedding, Rosa longs to let loose for the first time. She deserves some fun, after all. So what if she doesn't have a shot with Jeremy, not with his wealthy pedigree and high profile lifestyle. But one dance leads to one kiss, and soon Rosa is head-over-heels . . .

The adopted son of a prominent Chicago lawyer, Jeremy has a lot to live up to--especially with his birth father in prison--the perfect example of a bad example. With a big promotion and a move to Japan in the works, Jeremy is worlds away from settling down. But sweet, steady Rosa is a temptation he doesn't want to deny himself, at least for now. Yet when their simple fling turns complicated, everything they've both worked for is threatened--except the red-hot intimacy they've found together. Can forever really grow from just-for-now?

Then I learned he's the key to success in my new job in Paris. The man who tempts me into fling-worthy dirty daydreams has turned out to be my personal translator, and his accent is the hottest thing I've ever heard.
My mantra is simple -- Don't mix business with pleasure. I do my best to resist him as he teaches me how to converse with my co-workers, navigate the metro and order the perfect bottle of wine at dinner. But I also figure out how to tell the charming and clever man what I most want to say -- that I want him to take me back to his flat -- tonight.
Except there's a catch...

***
One more assignment before I take off on my big adventure...

And it involves the toughest work ever -- resisting the fetching American woman I spend all my days with. But you know what they say about best intentions. Soon, we're spending our nights tangled together, and I don’t want to let her go. The trouble is, my wanderlust is calling to me, and before we know it I'll be traveling the globe to fulfill a promise I made long ago.

What could possibly go wrong with falling in love in Paris? Nothing...unless one of you is leaving.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Their's is a connection that delivers plenty of surprises. Alessandra is on the verge of living out her dream, when her path crosses with Quinn. He's not like any man she's ever known. Quinn speaks to her senses and sets her soul on fire. He stimulates her mind right from their first meeting and maybe even claims a little piece of her heart. He's everything, she never thought she'd find and now isn't sure she can live without. Kendall Ryan is an ace when it comes to tempting the senses, but people have a tendency to forget how in tune her stories are to the heart. Tempting Little Tease is a hot commodity, when it comes to sex appeal, but it's the emotional connection between Quinn and Alessandra that leaves a lasting impression.

EARL OF ST. SEVILLE (WICKED EARL'S CLUB) BY CHRISTINA MCKNIGHT

 

 

 

Release Date: March 20, 2018

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

 

When a bluestocking spinster sets her mind to something…

Lady Patience Lane, daughter of the Earl of Desmond and legendary boxer Ivory Bess, grew up learning to fight, not how to mind her manners. She always expected she’d become a trainer like her mother, until injuries from the ring led to her mother’s untimely death. Now, she’s determined to save other families from the same heartache, by teaching others about the dangers of boxing. Nothing could bring her back to the world she left—until she meets a mysterious stranger who sets her pulse racing. 

And a dark, dangerous lord interferes…

Sinclair Chambers, the Earl of St. Seville and known as “Sin” to his cohorts, inherited an insolvent estate. He has to make money, and fast, or his tenants will starve. The prize purses from the bareknuckle mills will go a long way to solving his problems, if he can win them. To be a success in the ring, he needs the best trainer, and Patience Lane is the best there is—all he has to do is convince her that he’ll only fight once. 

They just might find their happily ever after in each other’s arms.

The more time Sin and Patience spend together, the closer they become. Soon, Sin’s thoughts are less about winning in the ring, and more about winning Patience’s heart. But can a relationship born out of wicked deception stand the test of time?

REVIEWBAD BOYS AFTER DARK: BRETT (BAD BILLIONAIRES AFTER DARK) BY MELISSA FOSTER

 

Brett (Bad Boys After Dark, #4; Billionaires After Dark #8; Love in Bloom #50)Brett by Melissa Foster

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


The Bad Boys are at their best when faced with their worst. Tragedy has shaped them into men of strength and character. Too bad they can't see that for themselves. Sometimes it takes a fresh pair of eyes and an open heart to help change our perspective. Brett is a good man with a bad rep when it comes to women. He won't invest his heart long enough to explore the possibilities. Sophie is the one woman that can make him rethink that stance. If he can get this wary vixen to let down her guard and give him a chance. The After Dark series puts readers in touch with their naughty side with the sweetest of intentions. Brash dialogue, bold situations and emotion packed moments heat up the pages as Sophie and Brett dance their way into our hearts.

REVIEW:  RECKLESS WHISPER (OFF THE GRID: FBI TRILOGY) BY BARBARA FREETHY

 

 

 

Reckless Whisper (Off The Grid: FBI Trilogy, #2)Reckless Whisper by Barbara Freethy

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Barbara Freethy is good at getting inside readers heads. Reckless Whisper is intriguing, complicated and chilling. Bree finds herself drawn into a web of deceit that has close personal ties. What makes this tale so scary is that the pieces to the puzzle are lying in plain sight, but putting them together is a confusing mind game. The twists are endless, the danger is far reaching and the thrills are nonstop.

LUCKY IN LOVE (SILVER BAY) BY AMELIA JUDD

 

 

 

Release Date: March 23, 2018

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

A Standalone Silver Bay Novel by Award-Winning Author Amelia Judd

Single-mom Claire Bennett needs to find a boyfriend. Fast. Problem is, she doesn't have the time or desire (or maybe even the ability) to manage a relationship right now. Determined to avoid her pending public humiliation, Claire resorts to hiring a fake boyfriend. Though unable to deny her troublesome attraction for her new faux beau, Claire's confident her plan will work as long as she keeps her feet firmly planted on the ground. Never again will she get swept away in a whirlwind romance that leaves her dizzy, flat on her butt, and full of regret when it ends.

Having played many positions in his career, retired soccer star Ethan DuBois happily agrees to take on the role of pretend boyfriend. After all, spending two months with the beautiful, intelligent, and intriguingly independent Claire promises to be an amusing distraction from the real--and infinitely more frustrating--reason he's back in Silver Bay.

But being with Claire soon makes Ethan realize he wants her as his partner for more than a short-term pretense. Will the clock run out before Ethan convinces Claire that life is always better when you're part of a team?
