SYNOPSIS
Are you ready for more fun and shenanigans from the heroes at the Big Island Dive shop? Then sit back, kick off your shoes and prepare to fall in love with the next great read in the Aloha Series from USA TODAY Bestselling Author Chris Keniston.
Billionaire businessman Bradley Peyton can pay for anything he needs…or wants. When his college buddy, Forrest John Maplewood, challenges him to experience how 'normal people' live by posing as an employee at a newly acquired Kona Hawaii Hotel, Brad can't resist. But having it all doesn't mean he knows it all. Undercover and in over his head, Brad is learning money can’t buy everything—especially love.
Single mother Hope Gibbons is walking on eggshells. The hotel where she's the Head of Housekeeping has sold. Sweeping changes are coming and her job might be on the chopping block. When she meets the new management trainee, the attraction is palpable and the heat undeniable. He's even great with her young son. Hope is falling fast, but when Brad's secret comes to light, will it prove to be the one bridge they can’t cross?

REVIEW: FLIRTING WITH PARADISE (SWEET ALOHA) BY CHRIS KENISTON
Flirting with Paradise by Chris Keniston
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Bradley thought he had it all until he discovers he never even had a clue. Flirting with Paradise takes a few hints from a reality show and changes how we should look at the world. In a world full of celebrity, wealth and pride, kindness tends to get lost in the shuffle. Keniston shows how empathy can change the world. On a dare Bradley learns a valuable lesson and painful truths. In order to become someone worth knowing, he had to become someone no one noticed. Meeting Hope taught him the true meaning of happiness. Living is about more than what a person has. Living is about knowing what it means to be human. Flaws and all we all have something to offer. KINDNESS! There's no greater lesson than that.

CLEAN SWEEP (SAN FRANCISCO DRAGONS) BY KATE WILLOUGHBY
Release Date: July 23, 2018
SYNOPSIS
He’s a hockey player, not a housekeeper.
Cameron Bowes is the face of the San Francisco Dragons, so when the team needs a gimmick to improve their fan relations, Cameron becomes the focus of the new video "At Home with a Dragon". Unfortunately for Cam, his bachelor pad looks like an earthquake hit it. Repeatedly.
She’s the sexy maid a teammate hires as a joke.
Dakota Kelly has been working non-stop since she was unexpectedly awarded custody of her young niece. Though the little girl's grandmother swooped in to help, the old woman's overbearing ways have left Dakota no choice but to work as a janitor and moonlight as a maid in the hopes of one day getting some much-needed space from her niece's highly controlling Nana.
Lucky for Cam, Dakota turns out to be the miracle worker he desperately needs, and he jumps at the chance to hire her as his live-in housekeeper. Soon, the two can no longer ignore their smoldering chemistry, and it seems turning their business relationship into a happily-ever-after for all three of them will be the next play. There's just one problem: Nana doesn't approve, and she's not about to let her granddaughter go without a fight.
Clean Sweep may be read and enjoyed as a standalone sports romance!

REVIEW: CLEAN SWEEP (SAN FRANCISCO DRAGONS) BY KATE WILLOUGHBY
Clean Sweep by Kate Willoughby
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
There are moments when the wrong size can prove to be the perfect fit. Clean Sweep highlights one of those times. Dakota and Cam have nothing in common. He's a playboy hockey player. She's a down on her luck housekeeper. What began with the best of intentions could be just right for this mismatched pair. He needs a clean house, she and her niece need a new beginning. Emotions are off the table, but their hearts have other plans. Willoughby is one of the best author's I've never read. She cuts right to the heart of matters with her witty dialogue, lovable characters and a heartwarming presentation that makes all the drama worthwhile. Clean Sweep is my introduction to the party. I couldn't help but fall in love with the show.

BLIND LOVE (COWBOYS & ANGELS) BY KELLY ELLIOTT
Release Date: July 24, 2018
SYNOPSIS
Harley and I had our whole lives planned out, until her plans changed, and those plans didn't include me.
After years spent trying to get the love of my life out of my head and repair my too-damaged heart, I thought I was finally moving on…but life sure has a funny way of letting you know when those best-laid plans are about to be turned upside down.
My entire world was rocked when Harley unexpectedly moved back to Oak Springs. Every miserable moment I'd spent trying to get over her and every hour I'd wasted trying to erase her from my life came back to haunt me the minute she walked into my office, fear in her eyes, and asked me for help. Would I…or better yet, could I walk away from her this time after all that she had put me through?
What I really needed to know is would I be able to forge ahead with the future I had so meticulously planned—one that didn't include Harley—or will her return finally open my eyes to a future full of endless possibilities?
Blind Love is book five in the Cowboys and Angels series.

Release Date: July 24, 2018
SYNOPSIS
A brand new, standalone spin-off from THE BACHELOR TOWER series, and the second NOVELLA in the Left At The Altar series!!!
Barrett
When Paul asked me to be his best man, I didn’t think we’d make it this far. He’s 0 for 3 on engagements, but he says he’s serious this time.
The moment I meet Audrey, the maid of honor, I’m conflicted. She’s recovering from an injury. She needs my help, but all I want is to help her into my bed. What we have is wild and hot as hell—but that doesn’t mean I’m looking for it to continue past this trip. I’ve worked too hard to get to where I am to let anyone drag me down—but before I know it she’s got me turned around, and chasing after what I swore I’d never want—a chance at forever.
Audrey
I’m still recovering from ankle surgery after a severe break, but I’m the maid of honor and I refuse to let pain stop me from being part my best friend’s wedding. When I overdo it, I retreat to recover and regroup.
That’s how I meet Barrett. He’s brooding and blunt, but when he picks me up and carries me as if I’m nothing then brings me ice and takes care of me—I’m ready for my first wedding hookup. He is exactly what I need to get my mojo back.
Being bad never felt this good.
When he tells me he's not ready for a relationship I believe him—after all, his best friend just left mine at the altar. Where do we go from there?
Is it wrong to hope for make up sex considering we weren't the ones who broke up?
Almost a Wedding is the second book in the LEFT AT THE ALTAR series in a collaboration of six New York Times Bestselling Authors: J. S. Scott, Ruth Cardello, Raine Miller, Sawyer Bennett, Minx Malone, and Melody Anne.

Almost a Wedding by Ruth Cardello

Sweet Love on Main Street by RaeAnne Thayne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Main Street is a great place to lose oneself in stories of courageous women, alpha men and heartwarming romance. Escape into the creme de la creme of feel good reads.
Read, Write, Love at Seaside (Sweet with Heat: Seaside Summers #1) by Addison Cole - Warmth and light abound within an intoxicating romance. Leanna and Kurt have nothing in common. The loner and the optimist may be an odd combination, but the healing qualities they bring out in one another helps them find common ground.

Adam (Farraday Country #1) by Chris Keniston - For influential, light, genuine stories, a reader need look no further than author Chris Keniston. Tales of heartache and loss, quickly develop into meaningful stories that quite often have me smiling through my tears. Right from the start, she aims for the part of a reader that is most vulnerable. THE HEART! And lands a bullseye 90% percent of the time. (5 star)
Brooks (Farraday Country #2) by Chris Keniston - Oh, these Farraday men. The stuff of dreams. A dormant hero lies buried inside the rugged good looks waiting for the right woman to bring out the warrior. Brooks is every bit as dreamy as his brother but less complicated. My love of strong female leads was fed by Toni. Refusing to be a victim, she sought out to save herself. (5 star)

SYNOPSIS
A best-friends-to-lovers standalone romance from New York Times bestselling author Kendall Ryan.
She says she needs some help ... in the bedroom.
Come again? No, really come again.
Sweet, nerdy, lovable Keaton.
She's my best friend and has been for years. Sure she likes numbers and math, and thinks doing other people's taxes is fun. And I like ... none of that stuff. She's obsessed with her cat and reads novels I'll never understand, and yet we just click. There's no one I'd rather share breakfast burritos with or binge watch hours Netflix. She's my person. And so when she takes off her glasses and asks me to help her improve her skills in the bedroom, I barely have to think about it.
Of course I'll help her. There's no one better for the job.
I've been there for her through everything, why should this be any different?
But what happens when she's ready to take her new-found confidence and move on?

Love Machine by Kendall Ryan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
When it comes to knowledge she's the smartest person in the room. When it comes to life skills she's a lot less confident. Keaton is clueless to how sexy she really is. Slate is the perfect man to show her how beautiful she truly is. If he doesn't compromise their friendship along the way. Love Machine is a smartly written, sexy sweetheart of a read. Ryan stays true to her seductive style while imparting a positive message about being true to one's self. Beauty is not the outer shell, but the glow that comes from within.

Kylie Gilmore has a permanent spot on my favorites shelf. She has a talent for using humor to remind us of the obvious while imploring wisdom along the way. Almost Fate is a great example of that. A perfect love can stumble despite the best of intentions. Griffin and Christina have the battle scars to prove it. In the end we're all human. We have flaws. Owning them is the only way to build something permanent. It's the struggle to get it right that makes it all worthwhile.

From the hardest goodbye to the sweetest hello, Harry and Molly get under the skin and make their way into your soul. Every Time We Fall in Love is at the mercy of time and the hands of fate. Andre spins a tale of love lost and hope revisited with characters that are as real as they are flawed. The first time around family got in the way. Ironic that the circumstances that broke them apart could be the catalyst that gives them a new beginning. I'm swept away every time I read a Bella Andre novel.

Release Date: July 18, 2018
SYNOPSIS
Fall in love at Bayside, where sandy beaches, good friends, and true love come together in the sweet small towns of Cape Cod. Bayside Summers is a series of standalone romance novels featuring fiercely loyal heroes and sassy, empowered women. They're fun, flirty, flawed, and easy to relate to.
In Sweet Love at Bayside…
As the co-owner of Bayside Resorts, Rick Savage has a fabulous job working with his best friends and brother, and a thriving business in Washington, DC, which he'll be returning to at the end of the summer. Spending time with his family is great, but being back on Cape Cod has unearthed painful memories. When sweet, smart, and overly cautious Desiree Cleary moves in next door, Rick is drawn to the sexy preschool teacher, and she just might prove to be the perfect distraction.
Running an art gallery was not in preschool teacher Desiree Cleary's plans, but after being tricked into coming to her impetuous, unreliable mother's aid, she's stuck spending the summer with the rebellious half sister she barely knows and a misbehaving dog. If that's not frustrating enough, she can't escape the sparks igniting with her strikingly handsome and pushy neighbor, Rick, who makes all her warning bells go off.
Passion ignites as Desiree and Rick spend long summer nights sharing heartfelt confessions and steamy kisses. For the first time in years Rick is enjoying life again instead of hiding behind mounds of work miles away from his family. Desiree has touched him in a way that makes him want to slow down. Only slowing down means dealing with his demons, and he isn't sure who he'll be when he comes out the other side.

REVIEW: SWEET LOVE AT BAYSIDE (SWEET WITH HEAT: BAYSIDE SUMMERS) BY ADDISON COLE
Sweet Love at Bayside by Addison Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The road to fulfillment is not always the one we plan for ourselves. Hearts break, life changes and wiser heads prevail, but we can take pride in the fact that our choices, though not always right, brought us to where we were meant to be. Sweet Love at Bayside is one couple's road map to finding home. Rick and Desiree are both capable people with strong opinions, but their lives have sort of stalled when it comes to happiness. He's building a business. She's losing herself in responsibilities that are not completely her own. Can two people with so much love to give, make time to find something special together? Cole makes the complicated simple with an overflow of wisdom and heart. Realism does not always have to be complicated to find rewarding.

In Sweet Passions at Bayside…
When Emery Andrews's best friend, Desiree, moves away, falls in love, and opens an inn all in one summer, she feels her absence like a missing limb. Until she visits over the holidays and meets sinfully hot Dean Masters, who's as easy on the eyes as he is to talk to. After returning home, what starts as a flurry of late-night flirtations quickly turns into a deep connection and unexpected friendship. Now, months later, Desiree offers Emery a job teaching yoga at the inn. Adventurous Emery jumps at the chance and heads for Wellfleet, Massachusetts, to reunite with her BFF and her new close friend, Dean.
After months of sharing their lives, and their secrets, over video chats and phone calls, Dean's ready to move things to the next level. The fact that Emery seems oblivious to the sparks between them and has recently put her foot down about dating friends just means he'll have to bide his time.
When Emery finds a man in her kitchen the first morning she's there, Dean doesn't hesitate to move her into his guest room. Maybe now Emery will see what's right before her eyes-although that guy she's got a date with might be a problem.

With an edge of mystery, no shortage of heart and a feisty female lead, Norman sets the stage for a tempting battle that proves to be a thrilling yet unpredictable ride.

REVIEW: ABOVE ALL BY REBECCA BROOKS
Above All by Rebecca Brooks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Happiness doesn't reside in false moments of perfection. It requires that we do the work. Above All is about knowing our worth. How can a person expect to find true love and happiness, if their not being truthful with themselves? Broken hearts, fresh starts and electric chemistry are a jumping off point for Casey and Ben. Brooks entrances with seduction, but the driving force behind the temptation is self discovery. Life is more than losing yourself in naughty moments. It's about loving every cell, emotion, hope, imperfection and choice that makes up who we are.
