SYNOPSIS
Return to the beloved beach town of Cliffside Bay, where USA Today bestseller Tess Thompson spins another emotional, intriguing tale about overcoming adversity and finding strength in love in this standalone story about Lisa and Rafael.
After years of struggling as a starving actor, Lisa Perry's dreams are finally coming true. Splitting her time between Los Angeles and Cliffside Bay, the young beauty has a successful television miniseries, her first movie role, and quality time with her best friends Maggie and Pepper. Everything is coming up roses until a single tragic moment changes Lisa forever.
Haunted by unshakable memories and near-crippling anxiety, Lisa must face a publicity tour full of crowds and interviews in order to move her budding career forward. And with the help of Rafael Soto, the head of security for Brody and Kara Mullen, she finally begins to relax. Though the pair are as different as night and day, something about her temporary bodyguard soothes the young actress, and soon their relationship turns from professional to passionate.
But what neither anticipates is that despite the obvious threats to a beautiful ingenue, it's actually her protector who stands in harm's way. Will Lisa and Rafael be able to face the danger awaiting him together, or are they destined to accept yet another tragedy they can't stop?
USA Today bestselling author Tess Thompson welcomes you back to Cliffside Bay to explore the rich, heartwarming stories of the characters who brightened the original five novels in the series. Each book in the Cliffside Bay Series is intended to be read and enjoyed as a sweet standalone, but for maximum enjoyment read this binge-worthy series in order.

Constance Bonner has spent her life like a happy butterfly, flitting from one thing to another, never truly concerned with consequences or where her life was headed. But after one unforgettable, passionate night with Brian O’Leary, her gorgeous former boss—the same boss who just fired her—her happy-go-lucky life has ground to a halt. She’s pregnant. Jobless. Facing the biggest responsibility of her life. Worse, Brian is swearing he doesn’t want to be a father and throwing non-disclosure agreements her way.

After growing up poor and watching his single mother struggle, he’s laser focused on making enough money for his entire family to finally stop struggling. He’s got the perfect, practical fiancée, a major tech deal in the works, and his goal is almost in reach. He has no room in his life for the always-cheerful Connie, who wouldn’t know how to be serious if she tried. Connie is the opposite of everything he needs in life.
But if she’s completely wrong for him, why is it so hard to resist her?
If there’s one thing Connie is serious about, it’s making Brian see that there’s more to life than making money, and that they’re meant to be a family. But convincing him of that might her biggest challenge yet.

REVIEW: THE BILLIONAIRE'S ACCIDENTAL BABY (BILLIONAIRES AND BABIES) BY LESLIE NORTH
The Billionaire's Accidental Baby by Leslie North
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Connie and Brian are a perfect example of why Leslie North is a one click author for me. The Billionaire's Accidental Baby is not a Cinderella story. Prince Charming is not the answer to a prayer, but is more often than not a jerk. However, the lessons hidden within this realistic, sometimes far-fetched romance are life at it's most heartbreaking, but love at it's most sublime. In order to find happiness, we have to take our head out of the clouds and take a chance on listening to our hearts. Sweet words. Emotional delivery. Wonderful story.

A DEVILISH DECEIT (DEVIL SPRINGS: COZY MYSTERIES) BY JENNIFER BRAMSETH
Release Date: March 26, 2019
SYNOPSIS
A heat wave but no A/C. Your ex dating your nemesis. A murdered juror. Ah, summer in Devil Springs…
Bain Circuit Court Clerk Greer Galloway had never worked with another judge. But all that changes when Special Judge Reed Shelton gets appointed to handle a local notorious criminal case. Delaney Carlisle, the newly-appointed prosecutor, and Rex Roberts, defense counsel constantly argue. And Judge Shelton and Rex seem to hate each other and do little to hide it.
Then bad things come in threes, as the old superstition goes. The A/C goes down in the middle of a heat wave, Greer learns her ex is dating Delaney, and a problem juror, Tobias Madden, goes missing.
Soon a body washes up at a bridge where two jury views of the crime scene took place. And with plenty of enemies—an ex-wife, a former business partner, and even his own mother—Tobias’s death becomes a murder investigation.
When another body turns up, Greer fears that both deaths are connected to the murder case. But she has little to go on but instinct. And that may not be enough to keep her alive long enough to discover the killer.
A Devilish Deceit is the third book in the Devil Springs Cozy Mysteries Series.

KITTY CONFIDENTIAL (PET WHISPERER PI) BY MOLLY FITZ
Release Date: March 28, 2019
SYNOPSIS
I was just your normal twenty-something with seven associate degrees and no idea what I wanted to do with my life. That is, until I died… Well, almost.
As if a near-death experience at the hands of an old coffeemaker wasn’t embarrassing enough, I woke up to find I could talk to animals. Or rather one animal in particular.
His full name is Octavius Maxwell Ricardo Edmund Frederick Fulton, but since that’s way too long for anyone to remember, I’ve taken to calling him Octo-Cat. He talks so fast he can be difficult to understand, but seems to be telling me that his late owner didn’t die of natural causes like everyone believes.
Well, now it looks like I no longer have a choice, apparently my life calling is to serve as Blueberry Bay’s first ever pet whisperer P.I while maintaining my façade as a paralegal at the offices of Fulton, Thompson & Associates.
I just have one question: How did Dr. Doolittle make this gig look so easy?

Kitty Confidential by Molly Fitz
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
All you need is an open mind, an open heart and a wry sense of humor to enjoy the oddness that is Kitty Confidential. There is always a twist that's a little bit bigger and tad stranger than the one before, but through all the weirdness, Octo-cat, Fitz and her roster of quirkily, irresistible characters, give readers something to smile about.

SYNOPSIS
Ready to get down right dirty?
Whether you are in the mood for a dreamy rockstar, a cocky bad boy next door, a hunky mountain man or filthy rich billionaires, this 5-book romance boxset will satisfy all your needs.
Book 1 - Leaving to Stay
As a world-renowned rock star, I have everything: women, fame, money.
But the only thing I need now…is her.
I never expect to see her again…Yet fate brings us back together.
And when she comes back into my life, it’s like no years have passed.
I'm addicted again, but this time I'm hooked on her.
And she tells me something that turns my world upside down:
She has two babies, and I’m their Daddy.
Book 2 - Accidental Soulmates
I always get what I want.
That night at Vegas, I wanted her.
So I took her... tasted her delicious lips and devoured every inch of her.
But before I could claim her again, she was gone.
I didn’t see her again, until I received a document called Marriage Certificate.
We were accidentally married.
This was only a mistake. But why did I find myself looking for ways to make this mistake a reality?
Book 3 - Can’t Get Over You
She is the most anti-social, stubborn, nerdy pain in the a** I’ve ever met.
But she’s also determined, intelligent, and kinda cute... I mean, really cute.
No matter how hard I try, I can’t stop thinking about her.
Truth be told … I can’t stop wanting her.
We shared a kiss at my sister’s wedding.
I took her v*rginity before graduation.
And that’s supposed to be the end of the story.
A few years later, I became her new boss, and she wouldn’t let me meet her 6-year-old son.
And everything finally starts to make sense…
Book 4 - Marrying the Wrong Twin
I’m totally screwed. I just said “I do” to the hottest man I’ve ever seen.
And he’s my future husband’s twin brother.
I mean, how could I know he’s the wrong one? They look exactly the same.
Now there’s no way out of this, so we’ll just have to keep playing the game.
We are married on paper only, for our family businesses to thrive.
It’s only business, a partnership kind of deal, and falling for him wasn't part of the arrangement.
But why do I keep recalling our first sinful night, when he took me right there in his suite?
Why can’t I stop imagining all the tender, passionate kisses, his huge hands all over my body and the rough, hard sex?
Oh, screw it! The marriage might be fake, but the baby I’m carrying is 100% real…
Book 5 - Deep in the Mountains
I came to the Smokey Mountains a broken man.
I needed to get away from my past, and that was when I became a ranger here.
For two years, my life is dull and in lack of passion.
But the first time I laid eyes on Ayla Winter, I knew I was in trouble.
She was charming, vulnerable, and utterly irresistible.
She was like no other woman I had ever met.
How could I have known that one surreal day with her would make me second-guess it all?
And how could I have known that I was about to be a father?
Escape into the world of five huge and filthy alpha males and let them entertain you all night long.

REVIEW: BABY FEVER BY NICOLE CASEY
Baby Fever: The Complete Series 1-5 by Nicole Casey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Baby Fever is the best of Nicole Casey. This series tugs at the heart while tempting the soul. Alphas, babies and the women who love them. From second chances to sneaky heroes and accidental everything, Baby Fever is a wonderful asset to any book shelf.
Marrying the Wrong Twin - Emotionally Stunning!
Looks can be deceiving. Behind the fabulous life can lurk some ugly truths and Casey puts those facts on full display. My heart broke for Asha. A woman who doesn't quite know how to be a grownup, because the people who say they love her treat her like a pawn in a childish game. Rustin is the one person who sees beyond the broken woman. His choices don't always make him likable, but a bit more understandable. I didn't expect to like this heartbreaking read, but I fell in love with the characters. (5 stars)
