Paige Reilly
I was looking for somewhere quiet to settle down, and Juniper, Colorado looked like the perfect place. Little did I know, the quiet little town would welcome me with a bang.

Ignite My Heart by Loni Ree

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


There are moments in life when the heart needs to take a breather from the heartache that surrounds it and let the sunlight in. Ignite my Heart finds that ray of light by dancing on a moonbeam. Ree packs far more than a handful of emotion inside of a beautiful cloud. From humor to hope, Juniper may be a small town, but there is nothing minute about the love that sets the canvas ablaze. Loni Ree made my heart smile.

NOAH (ANDERSON BILLIONAIRES) BY MELODY ANNE

 

 

Release Date: May 19, 2020

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Melody Anne continues her sizzling and heartfelt series about billionaire Joseph Anderson’s long-lost nephews.

Salt-of-the-earth navy veteran Noah Anderson is just starting to understand what it means to be exceedingly wealthy. Since he and his four brothers received a huge payout from their long-lost billionaire uncle, they’ve been hard at work building a new veterans center—and hard at play with the lovely ladies in their lives.

Noah, in charge of designing the center, has been mostly focused on work. However, coarchitect Sarah Jennings commands more of his attention all the time. Sparks fly whenever they’re together, but she’s wary—even afraid—of love, and Noah isn’t the biggest fan of commitment.

When they reach a creative roadblock, Noah and Sarah decide to jet across the United States and study the buildings that most influence them. The trip quickly inspires more than just a love of architecture, and with a little help from Uncle Joseph, the reluctant couple gets ever closer to discovering what they’re really looking for.

Noah by Melody Anne

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Love, life and laughter make for an irresistible romance. Melody Anne continues to speak to the heart as only she can. Noah and Sarah put emotions on notice, that their story will run away with your heart. It's been eight years, and multiple heartaches later, I remember why those captivating Andersons had me at hello. They prove that if a heart truly believes, love just may have the strength to conquer all.

THE SUGAR QUEEN OF EMERSON PASS (EMERSON PASS) BY TESS THOMPSON

 

 

Release Date: May 19, 2020

 

 

SYNOPSIS

  

True love requires commitment, and many times unending sacrifice. . .

 

At the tender age of eighteen, Brandi Vargas watched the love of her life drive out of Emerson Pass, presumably for good. Though she and Trapper Barnes dreamed of attending college and starting their lives together, she was sure she would only get in the way of Trapper's future as a hockey star. Breaking his heart, and her own in the process, was the only way to ensure he pursued his destiny. Her fate was the small town life she'd always known, her own bakery, and an endless stream of regret.

 

After a decade of playing hockey, a single injury ended Trapper Barnes' career. And while the past he left behind always haunted him, he still returns to Emerson Pass to start the next chapter of his life in the place his ancestors built more than a century before. But when he discovers that the woman who owns the local bakery is the girl who once shattered his dreams, the painful secret she's been harboring all these years threatens to turn Trapper's idyllic small town future into a disaster. Will it take a forest fire threatening the mountain village to force Trapper and Brandi to confront their history? And in the wake of such a significant loss, will the process of rebuilding their beloved town help them find each other, and true happiness, once again?

 

Fast forward to the present day and enjoy this contemporary second chance romance set in the small town of Emerson Pass, featuring the descendants of the characters you loved from USA Today bestselling author Tess Thompson's The School Mistress.

EVERY LITTLE PIECE OF ME (THE ORCHID VALLEY SERIES) BY LEXI RYAN

 

 

Release Date: May 19, 2020

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Every Little Piece of Me, a sexy, standalone second-chance romance in the all-new Orchid Valley series, by New York Times & USA Today bestselling author, Lexi Ryan, is live!

It’s not every day you get invited to your wife’s wedding to another man...as a guest.

The first time I saw Brinley Knox, she was crying, draped in a ridiculous pink tulle dress for her sweet sixteen party, and cursing the boy who’d broken her heart.

I was the hired help, a teenage charity case.

She was the daughter of the wealthiest family in Orchid Valley.

I knew a girl like Brinley was off-limits for a guy like me. That didn’t stop me from kissing her. Or from promising that if she were ever mine, I’d never let her go.

The last time I saw Brinley, she was sleeping, tangled in the sheets of my Vegas penthouse, my diamond glittering on her left ring finger.

I returned three hours later to an empty bed, the ring on the dresser, and a note that said, “Can’t keep the ring. I’d never hold you to that.”

In the two years since, we’ve never talked about our impulsive Vegas nuptials—never talked at all after that night—but I’m not the kind of guy who’d file for a divorce he doesn’t want.

Until I got this damn invitation, it never occurred to me that Brinley didn’t think our wedding was real. Or didn’t remember it at all.

I guess it’s time to return to Orchid Valley and remind the bride-to-be that I’m a man who keeps his promises.

I don't know how she does it, but I'm hooked. Ryan crafts an epic romance using at it's heart the emotions that drive us.

Will their past heartbreak become their present undoing?

ROGUE ANGEL (THE ROURKES) BY KYLIE GILMORE

 

 

Release Date: May 19, 2020

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

A humorous forbidden romance!

 

Becca

That one night stand with Hot Builder Guy was not in the plan.

Completely unlike me but, in a moment of weakness, I was drawn in by his piercing blue eyes, his charming smile, and his spectacularly muscled everything.

It was a mistake.

Only the next day he wants my number and I start thinking maybe this thing has potential. Maybe it wasn’t a mistake.

And then I see him again in the worst possible place and realize this can never work. There are rules about this—for good reason—and I don’t dare cross the line.

Connor Rourke is off limits.

I don’t know how much longer I can resist temptation.

This romantic comedy stands alone with a swoonworthy happily-ever-after! No cliffhangers.

THE RIVAL ROOMIES (THE ROOFTOP CREW) BY PIPER RAYNE

 

 

Release Date: May 12, 2020

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

I’ve loved him from afar.

Though most times he’s only a foot away.

I’m smart enough to know he’ll never be anyone’s forever.

He checks all the bad boy boxes. Tattoos. Check. Motorcycle. Check. Chip on his shoulder. Check check.

If he wasn’t my neighbor and friend I may have thrown myself at him. Okay, yeah. I wouldn’t. Because guys like Dylan don’t want a woman who writes kid’s math textbooks under him in bed. Instead, I pathetically savor morsels of moments where I have his sole attention.

That was until his archenemy moved in with me. Now suddenly, Dylan’s moving in too and warning off the first guy in a long time who’s showing me interest. Could he finally see me as more than a friend, or am I just a prize to win and show off to his enemy?

The Rival Roomies by Piper Rayne

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Rian and Dylan are a feast worth waiting for. Anticipation seems to have been building forever. Rayne caught hold of my heart with the shy nerd and bad boy tattoo artist what seems like forever ago. Rival Roomies is the culmination of angstful, yearning and breathtaking romance. Between the heartaches and misunderstandings lies a love story that refuses to be denied. From insecure wallflower to determined temptress Rian finds the courage to face insecurity head on. Dylan may be a heartbreaker, but his beautifully wounded heart is a worthy adversary for a determined woman. Dylan and Rian had me at hello and Rayne made sure to make it hard for my heart to say goodbye.

SYNOPSIS

 

CAUTION: CONTAINS HOT COWBOY. Do not mix with wine. Avoid watching him do shirtless labor on hot days.

 

SIDE EFFECTS MAY INCLUDE: Feeling of extreme temptation, excessive drooling over his abs, elevated heart rate, and loss of coherent thoughts when in his presence.

 

My name is Camila Clark. And that sexy cowboy right there? The one with the devilish smile, twinkling brown eyes, and tattoos on his muscular arms? He’s Jed, the guy I turned down flat back in Texas. He just showed up here in Oregon at the winery where I work.

 

The question is why?

 

Not that it really matters. I have my reasons for staying away from all that manly temptation. Reasons he can’t possibly understand but seems determined to punish me for.

But the more I fight him, the more I learn about this mysterious, hot-as-hell cowboy. I just don’t know how much longer I can keep pretending to hate him.

The problem is, I’m technically engaged to a guy I’ve never met.

A SECRET FOR A SECRET (ALL IN #3) BY HELENA HUNTING

 

 

Release Date: May 12, 2020

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

From New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting comes a new romance about trading secrets, breaking the rules, and playing for keeps.

 

My name is Ryan Kingston, and I’m a rule follower. I’ve never been in a fistfight. I always obey the speed limit. I don’t get drunk, and I definitely don’t pick up random women at bars.

 

Except the night I found out that my whole existence has been a lie.

 

I got drunk. And picked up a stranger.

 

Her name was Queenie, and she was everything I’m not: reckless, impulsive, and chaotic. We did shots and traded secrets. And ended up naked at my place.

 

She left me a thank-you note in the morning and her panties as a parting gift. But no way to contact her.

 

Six weeks later I’m sitting in the first official team meeting of the season, and there she is. I neglected to mention that I’m the goalie for Seattle’s NHL team.

 

And Queenie? Turns out she’s the general manager’s daughter.

REVIEW: A SECRET FOR A SECRET (ALL IN #3) BY HELENA HUNTING

 

 

A Secret for a Secret by Helena Hunting

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Great storytelling makes for a captivating audience. A Secret for a Secret is a high octane heartbreaker that packs a ton of emotion inside. Hunting had me hooked before the first hello and so far gone that I lost my heart at goodbye. From start to finish I was all in. Queenie and Kingston are a Pandora's Box just waiting to be explored. Their connection is instant, relationship turbulent, but the journey they take is a mesmerizing one. There is much more to this whirlwind temptress and her enigmatic bad boy in hiding. Beyond the well placed humor and tempting sensuality is a heart that offers itself up for the taking.

Review: The Kiss Keeper by Krista Sandor

Sandor's personality shines through in This Kiss Keeper. From heartwarming funny to emotionally stunning, Natalie and Jake will have hearts skipping a beat in the sweetest of ways. She's a quirky mess. He's more than a little uptight. Yet getting to know what drives these characters is only half of what makes them so much fun. The other half lies is the challenges that life has thrown their way. Krista Sandor continues to bring sexy back with a pinch of simplicity and an abundance of heart.

Release Date: May 14, 2020

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

“From here on out here’s how it’s going to go. I play. You play. Don’t hit on me. Don’t flirt with me. Understood?"

 

Handsome, charismatic, and blessed with a voice that brings thousands of fans to their knees, Trent Donovan is a walking cliché. But he has another thing coming if he thinks he can charm his way into my panties.

 

I don’t care if he’s rich and famous because I’m not here to bag a rock star. I’m here to pave my own way. To prove I belong center stage.

 

There’s just one problem.

 

The more time I spend on the road with the band, the more I realize Trent’s nothing like the arrogant playboy I expected. We share a love of music, and if I’m honest so much more.

 

I came on this tour to follow my dreams, but if I’m not careful he’s bound to lead them off track - right along with my heart.

 

The books in the Off Track Records series are interconnected stand-alone romance novels, and can be listened to in any order.

REVIEW: DETOUR (OFF TRACK RECORDS) BY KACEY SHEA (AUTHOR), NARRATED BY JASON CLARKE, LESSA LAMB

 

Detour by Kacey Shea

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Audio Review: Detour (Off the Tracks) by Kacey Shea (Author), Jason Clarke (Narrator), Lessa Lamb (Narrator)

Sweet and salty meets smooth as silk and delivers plenty of heart tingles. Shea reminds the heart that a little bit of naughty can feel so very nice. Trent and Lexi bring out the spicy side in more than just listeners if Clarke and Lamb's delivery is any indication. Jason Clarke makes sure that bad boy wannabe Trent gets under your skin. While Lessa Lamb gives fiesty Lexi the keys to open your heart. From breathtaking attraction to heartwarming romance, Kacey Shea is sure to deliver the goods.

SYNOPSIS

 

A new friends-to-lovers small town romance from Amber Kelly…

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? 

 

 

My big brother and I landed in the care of my aunt and her husband after my parents died in a tragic accident when I was three-years-old. I grew up smothered by love from a family that knows what the bitter sting of loss feels like.

Living under that umbrella afforded me the ability to grow up with the security needed to try my every whim… and I have, now it’s time to figure out who I want to be.

My family would love for me to settle down with someone grounded and successful like the sexy new vet in town. 

I like him, but I am restless. 

I don’t want to be grounded. I want to ride the wind. 

Walker Reid has worked on my family’s ranch for years. He’s like a son to Uncle Jeff and my brother’s closet friend. He is a sexy devil, drinks too much and likes to live wild and free. 

I’m drawn to him. Maybe he’ll finally be the one to help me let go and find where I belong. Or maybe my brother will kill us both.

Channel your inner bad girl. A little wicked goes a long way when it comes to an Amber Kelly story. Elle and Walker give emotions a taste of what it means to be naughty.

REVIEW: ALL I WANNA DO IS YOU BY DYLAN CRUSH

 

 All I Wanna Do Is You by Dylann Crush

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


All I Wanna Do is You has addictive written all over it. Reagan and Zach put the senses on overload. Crush stirs up a tempting recipe with a dash of naughty and a sprinkle of deceit laced with an overpowering sense of humor and a pinch of common sense. No wonder I couldn't put this book down. Fabulous finds it's funny with and serves up more than a little heart on the side.
