CONFESSIONS OF A NAUGHTY NANNY (THE BAILEYS) BY PIPER RAYNE
Release Date: January 7, 2020
SYNOPSIS
When a famous music producer moves to Lake Starlight it can’t just be a coincidence. It’s the universe helping to move things along in the right direction so that Griffin Thorne can discover me.
I have to confess—I’ll do whatever it takes to make that happen.
Confession #1: I may have overhead that he was in search of a nanny. What can I say? My brother has a big mouth.
Confession #2: It’s possible I helped along the assumption that I had nanny experience. Hey, babysitting my nieces and nephew counts, right?
Confession #3: There’s a good chance I oversold my qualifications. But my Grandma Dori backed me up, so it’s not completely my fault.
And it worked. He hired me. Only for me to find out that he left the business.
I guess it’s on to Plan B.
When he accidentally overhears me singing, I expect nothing from him. Then he asks to work with me on a song for our town’s Founder’s Day Parade and it feels like a dream come true. Until...
Confession #4: I’ve fallen for him.

Release Date: January 7, 2020
SYNOPSIS
College parties, beer, and one-night stands—that was my life.
Now, I hunt down criminals, ethically or not, but if no one’s asking, then I’m not telling. Drinking and women are still included, though I can’t seem to forget the girl who almost gave me her virginity. She would’ve until I realized she was too young, and I wasn’t looking to get thrown into jail.
In a twist of fate, we’re reunited, except she’s no longer underage but still equally off-limits. After ignoring her relentless advances, she starts to wear me down. I only have so much willpower when she’s around, running her smart mouth and showing off her impeccable dance moves.
Just when my restraint starts to crumble, my poor choices finally catch up with me, putting us both in danger.
There’s no easy way to explain why I betrayed her, but I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe—even if it means breaking her heart.

CODE NAME: HEIST (JAMESON FORCE SECURITY) BY SAWYER BENNETT
Release Date: January 7, 2020
SYNOPSIS
I am a world-class thief. Or I was, before I got pinched and landed in prison. After I served my time, I decided to get on the right side of the law, or as much as my job at Jameson Force Security allows. The lines sometimes blur, which suits me just fine. My name might be Saint, but I’m a devil to most.
My plan to go legitimate is going as anticipated, until my past and present collide in a big way. While in Paris preparing to take down a ring of highly specialized thieves, I come face-to-face with my biggest threat—and my most dangerous temptation.
Sindaria “Sin” Westin was the love of my life, until her betrayal landed me behind bars. Now I’ve got to find a way to trust her again, at least long enough to pull off this job. When it becomes clear the price for this heist will be our lives, I realize I need to do whatever it takes to keep Sin safe, even if it means trading my life for hers. Because no matter the lies I’ve told myself, Sin’s greatest theft was the day she stole my heart.

REVIEW: CODE NAME: HEIST (JAMESON FORCE SECURITY) BY SAWYER BENNETT
Code Name: Heist by Sawyer Bennett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Code Name: Heist is the ultimate thrill ride. Sin and Saint pack quite the punch. There's always a decision to be made. A twist to be found. Or a secret waiting to be revealed. Bennett lures readers into the chase of a lifetime that puts the brain on a collision course with the heart. Nothing is as it seems when two rulebreakers find themselves caught up in a tempting masquerade. Manipulation is the name of the game and that could spell trouble for two foolish hearts. Bennett keeps getting better with every novel that she writes. The endgame far makes up for the heartache endured along the way.

REVIEW: CRUSH BY MAE WOOD
Crush by Mae Wood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wood takes an interesting approach to storytelling. Where as most authors start at a slow burn, she goes full force. Crush attacks the senses and then works at claiming your heart. From the picture she paints, to the dialogue she writes Mae Wood sets out to get a reaction and she most definitely succeeds. Kenzie and Ryan are as flavorful as they are compelling. One taste is far from enough.
