New Release – These Pucking Boys by Michelle Hercules

These Pucking Boys by Michelle Hercules is now live!

A why-choose hockey romance filled with laughter and lots of cake.

Once upon a time, there was a small-town girl with big dreams. She planned to move to LA with her high school sweetheart; they’d get married, and she’d become the hottest screenwriter in Hollywood.

She did accomplish the moving to LA part, and she’s about to tick marrying her boyfriend off the list. But all her plans go up in flames when she proposes on the Jumbotron during a Titans’ hockey game, and he says no. He’s been screwing one of her friends!

In case you’re wondering, that stupid-ass small-town girl is me.

After the most humiliating moment of my existence, I never want to go out in public again. But here comes the plot twist.

Three of the Titans hockey players saw my fiasco on TV, and to cheer me up, they invite me to a Titans team party. I couldn’t care less about meeting them in person, but the prospect of free booze wins me over.

I don’t expect to end up in a hotel room with the trio and have the hottest, most mind-blowing one-night stand of my life.

Not in my wildest fantasies did I imagine sleeping with three men, but it’s okay—I’ll never see them again, right?

I was wrong about that too.

Author: Cathryn Fox
Genre: Steamy Hockey Romance

Release Date: May 14, 2024
BLURB
All I wanted was to save the coastal resort that has been in our family for generations.

Little did I expect the buyer would be the NHL player who my clique picked on in high school.

I have no idea why the boy from the wrong side of the tracks would drag me – his enemy – back from the brink of ruin.

But when he insists he has a position for me – nanny for his little girl – I begin to understand his motives.

Revenge.

I have no idea how he plans to exact it, but I’m willing to find out if it means saving White Beach Resort.

As I wait for the ball to drop, the summer begins to slip by, and I begin to fall for the man who hates me.

Stupid, I know.

While I still haven’t discovered what he has up his sleeve, I slowly, deliciously discover what he has under his shirt, and below his belt.

The only problem is, I can’t figure out if his touches and kisses are still about payback, or if they’re about something more.

But I think I have a way to find out…and I pray it doesn’t backfire.

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
I was pleasantly shocked, in so many good ways, that I can hardly wait for the second part of this fun, steamy, amazing book!!

June first meets Lachlan, Jake and Ryan after she is humiliated by her long time boyfriend when she proposes to him on the Jumbotron at a Titans hockey game. It’s at this same moment that she simultaneously finds out he’s been cheating on her with her best friend. Lachlan, Jake and Ryan see this all go down and invite June to celebrate their win. While it would normally seem quick, the storyline actually all makes sense when it happens, so trust the process. ❤️

Getting to know each guy, or actually I’m going to say separating Jake and Ryan took a bit of time, at least for me. Lachlan was easier just given his Scottish accent and the fact that he is the goalie, but once I got to know them, and I do mean all of them 😏 it was easier to separate who was who.

These three guys are teammates, best friends, and roommates. Yes, they share living space and on occasion a willing woman for an evening. That’s not to say that when it feels right one of them hasn’t dated long term before, or at least Lachy or Jake have, Ryan is a different story, but when none of them are in a long term committed relationship and the timing is right…these three know how to burn up the sheets with one lucky lady. 🥵

That lucky lady happens to be June Summers, 😂 yes she understands the redundancy of her name June is sweetly awkward, while also being sassy and bold. I adored all sides of June and could see why three gorgeous men fell for her so easily. She also has so many accidental mishaps, but she doesn’t let it get her down in the dumps. She is sunshine in a cup and I just wanted to drink her down.

This book super steamy and so much fun that I want to start at the beginning, meet the characters for the first time again and read it all over.

Excerpt

CHAPTER ONE

Nathan

I am one minute away from finding out if my life is going to change forever.

Literally. The timer on the counter is ticking off the seconds.

And that life change is going to affect three other people. Who are all crowded into my bathroom with me at the moment.

This isn’t exactly how I ever pictured getting life altering news.

Of course, I never pictured getting this particular news in my life at all.

I’ve seen these moments in movies and television shows. The ones where the couple has the pregnancy test beside them, and they’re waiting for the timer to ring and tell them the happy—or terrible, depending on their perspective and the situation—news.

But for me, I’ve always known I couldn’t have children, so I’ve somehow automatically put that all into the category of Things That Happen to Other People.

Like flying in economy, or shopping at Wal-Mart.

Genre/Tropes: Why Choose/Romantic Comedy/Sports Romance

Author: Emma Foxx

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
This is book four in the Chicago Racketeers series and each book in this series has only gotten better and better.

Permanently Pucked is filled with laughter, emotions, and lots of steamy why-choose romance ❤️😍 It was the perfect story to round out this amazing cast of characters that I’ve come to care about sooooo much. Dani, Nathan, Michael and Crew have made a permanent place in my heart and I had to slow down my reading at times because I just didn’t want this book to end.

From the very beginning Dani, Nathan, Michael, and Crew have just gelled together flawlessly. Never once was there a question of someone not fitting with Dani, although there may have been times where they needed to figure out how to work together as a team, but when it came to their center, their glue, Dani held these three guys in the palm of her hand and just when things got settled a little one popped into the equation. A baby to love, to share, to raise between three dads and one mom. This special moment couldn’t have been better.

There would more to figure out than just living arrangements this time around and a baby was definitely going to change their lives. But before the little one comes along…there is a little thing called marriage. And speaking of marriage…🥵the dirty talk and role play is hotter than ever. This may be book four but Cookie and Co. is naughtier and spicier than ever!!

While I’m really going to miss these four I get the feeling this might not be the last we’ll see from the Racketeers. 😉 At least I can hope. 🙏😂

Release Date: April 11, 2024
BLURB
There are a million reasons why I shouldn’t agree to a date with Fletcher Huxley.
He’s a growly-faced, stubborn-streaked, international rugby legend trying to revive his flailing career in the US after being canned by his team overseas.
While he might have the good kind of thunder thighs, intriguing tattoos, and a booty of steel, he also holds the top position on my very short nemesis list thanks to what happened the first time we met.
Plus, his mustache is as terrible as the reason he’s picked me to be the woman he wants to date.
But he has one big checkmark in the why this date is a good idea column: he’s my brother’s new teammate.
They already hate each other.
And my brother has made an unfortunate habit of interfering with my love life recently.
So a revenge date with Fletcher to make my brother mad? While letting Fletcher think this date is merely for the good of the team?
Yep.
I’m in.
I’m moving to London for work in a month. And it’s just one date. What could possibly go wrong?
Until It Was Love is a banter-tastic romcom featuring an overgrown snack of a man with a soft spot for his purse dog, a normally optimistic life coach trying to live her best life, a mustache catastrophe, and one little tiny fainting spell. It stands alone and comes complete with a swoony happily ever after that will leave your heart in a happy puddle of joy.

Blog Tour – Three Ways to Mend a Broken Heart by Trilina Puccini

How do you mend a broken heart? I can think of three ways…

Three Ways to Mend a Broken Heart, holiday, fake dating, high spice, romantic comedy standalone in the Destination Love Series from #1 Amazon and USA Today bestselling author Trilina Pucci is available!

From the author who brought you the #1 bestselling Christmas novel, Tangled in Tinsel, and everyone’s new favorite football players in Knot so Lucky comes the third installment in these sizzling holiday romances…who wants to spend Valentine’s Day in Hawaii?

Imagine dating a guy for six months, and then one night, you make him dinner, recreating your first date so you can say “I love you” for the first time. Romantic, right?

No.

Because when you dress up as dessert, he tells you he’d rather be a party of one.

So now, you’re crying in your whipped cream boobs, drinking a bottle of tequila, and debating on cutting bangs.

Rock bottom, you say?

Wrong, again.

Not only does he break up with you, but he shows up to the vacation you’d planned with your friends. So now, here I sit…IN PARADISE..with DJ douchebag and his new girlfriend.

Did I mention she doesn’t wear makeup and speaks three languages?

Listen, I don’t want him back, but I also don’t want to look like the hot mess before to their perfect after.

So desperate times call for a dirty distraction, a way to keep my mind off everything and maybe even serve up a little payback.

And the universe says there’s only one way to do that…

TJ and Nate.

So, I guess that means there are actually three ways to mend a broken heart.

Tropes to look forward to:

Until It Was Love
(standalone within an interconnected series)

Publication Date: April 11, 2024

Genre/Tropes: Teammate’s sister/Grumpy-Sunshine/Romantic Comedy/Sports-Rugby/Enemies to Lovers/Fake Dating Romance

Author: Pippa Grant

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
There is nothing better than laughing while reading a Pippa Grant book and I did a ton of it while reading Until It Was Love.

This book brought forth all forms of laughter as all of the characters were fun and funny, and just darn likable. The mustache jokes are hilarious. I mean, spot on, laugh out loud funny. 🤣 Seriously…prepare to get your laugh on.

Fletcher Huxley has recently returned to the states to play rugby for the Pounders. On top of his ridiculous mustache, he pretty much never leaves the house without the name of his team somewhere upon his insanely muscled body. He’s proud of representing his sport and it shows. He’s lived and breathed Rugby pretty much his whole life and his new team needs some help. So when an  opportunity arises to get more social media presence, he asks Goldie Collins for help.

Goldie not only knows Fletcher because he plays professional rugby, but he plays with her brother on the same team. Goldie is a life coach and has helped many successful people through life transitions, career opportunities, etc…she is the eternal optimist and while she’d love to see more people enjoying her brothers team, she also isn’t sure she wants to help due to the first time they met, it wasn’t a sunshiny experience. Yes, she’s a walking contradiction, but eventually getting back at her brother wins out, which means helping Fletcher wins. She’s extremely adorable with the best humor. I totally want to be her best friend.

Fletcher is grumpy and full of ego, but hilarious with all his egoness. I adore when a hero is manly enough to love a small animal, but will also carry his little Sweet Pea around on his chest wrapped in a pink sling. I mean it is heart-melty to the extreme 😍 and sort of softens his big ego to show his soft inner marshmallow. 💖 Fletcher may come off as grumpy but he’s actually really great.

Goldie has a seasoned girl squad that I totally want to be friends with. These ladies bring tons of light and laughter and their obituary writing alone – OMG, don’t miss it! 😂. On the opposite age spectrum is Goldie’s niece who is super sweet and amazingly easy to adore, as Fletcher finds out, and I couldn’t get enough of her sugar sweetness either.

Fletcher and Goldie together are like reading a comedy act, but they also have a lot of chemistry together. They are the full package when it comes to couples and I’m so happy to have another awesome couple living in Copper Valley.

As for this amazing town, a few beloved people pop up, but this book is a standalone in its own right. It’s another Pippa hit and I really enjoyed it from cover to cover!

Synopsis:
UNTIL IT WAS LOVE!!  ARE YOU READY FOR IT?!

We’re headed back to Copper Valley, and back in the sports romance arena, but this time we’re tackling a new sport: rugby!

Get ready to meet Fletcher, Goldie and the Copper Valley Pounders, the town’s new rugby team! This is an enemies to lovers, teammate’s sister, fake dating/fake relationship/spite date, grumpy/sunshine, complicated situationship romcom with an… incident with a mustache and cameos from some of your favorite Copper Valley couples. (While it would certainly be fun for you to have read the Bro Code series, plus the Copper Valley Thrusters and the Copper Valley Fireballs series before this book, since they’re set in the same city, Until It Was Love stands completely alone.)

There are a million reasons why I shouldn’t date Fletcher Huxley.

He’s a growly-faced, stubborn-streaked, international rugby legend trying to revive his flailing career in the US after being canned by his team overseas.

While he might have the good kind of thunder thighs, intriguing tattoos, and a booty of steel, he also holds the top position on my very short nemesis list thanks to what happened the first time we met.

Plus, his mustache is as terrible as the reason he’s picked me to be the woman he wants to date.

But he has one big checkmark in the why this date is a good idea column: he’s my brother’s new teammate.

They already hate each other.

And my brother has made an unfortunate habit of interfering with my love life recently.

So a revenge date with Fletcher to make my brother mad? While letting Fletcher think this date is merely for the good of the team?

Yep.

I’m in.

I’m moving to London for work in a month. And it’s just one date. What could possibly go wrong?

Until It Was Love is a banter-tastic romcom featuring an overgrown snack of a man with a soft spot for his purse dog, a normally optimistic life coach trying to live her best life, a mustache catastrophe, and one little tiny fainting spell. It stands alone and comes complete with a swoony happily ever after that will leave your heart in a happy puddle of joy.

Review – Three Ways to Mend a Broken Heart by Trilina Pucci

Three Ways to Mend a Broken Heart; Destination Love #2
(#2 within a series)

Publication Date: April 4, 2024

Genre/Tropes: Why Choose/Fake Dating/Smutty Romcom

Author: Trilina Pucci

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
The Tweedles have arrived! TJ, Nate, and Mille are hot, hot, hot!!!🔥

Three Ways to Mend a Broken Heart was written to bring smiles; as it’s full of playfulness, filled with tons of smutty good times, and has a very happy ending for everyone involved. 😉 (pun fully intended)

Just for a frame of reference; Millie is Eleanor’s best friend (from Knot So Lucky) who also knows Samantha (from Tangled in Tinsel). While The Tweedles are best friends with Crew and might know some of Sam’s men too if memory serves. It’s a big why-choose happy family within this world. 😍

Anyway…Millie hasn’t had the best luck at love, case in point, she’s currently on vacation sulking because her ex was caught cheating, but that is just the tip of her crap sundae. Thank goodness for two very hot men who step up and help out. These three pull off a fake dating scheme that even has their best friends convinced it’s more all while lifting Millie’s spirits as well. I mean who wouldn’t feel better when getting worshipped by two hotties…am I right😉

These three have the time of their lives while planning a revenge scheme that brings all the LOL’s and spending the rest of their time losing their clothes around the island. 🥵 Is there a downside to mending a few hearts along the way…I think not.

Synopsis:
From the author who brought you the #1 bestselling Christmas novel, Tangled in Tinsel, and everyone’s new favorite football players in Knot so Lucky comes the third installment in these sizzling holiday romances…who wants to spend Valentine’s Day in Hawaii?

Imagine dating a guy for six months, and then one night, you make him dinner, recreating your first date so you can say “I love you” for the first time. Romantic, right?

No.

Because when you dress up as dessert, he tells you he’d rather be a party of one.

So now, you’re crying in your whipped cream boobs, drinking a bottle of tequila, and debating on cutting bangs.

Rock bottom, you say?

Wrong, again.

Not only does he break up with you, but he shows up to the vacation you’d planned with your friends. So now, here I sit…IN PARADISE..with DJ douchebag and his new girlfriend.

Did I mention she doesn’t wear makeup and speaks three languages?

Listen, I don’t want him back, but I also don’t want to look like the hot mess before to their perfect after.

So desperate times call for a dirty distraction, a way to keep my mind off everything and maybe even serve up a little payback.

And the universe says there’s only one way to do that…

TJ and Nate.

So, I guess that means there are actually three ways to mend a broken heart.

Review – Icing It by Emma Foxx

Icing It; Chicago Racketeers #5
(#5 within a series)

Publication Date: March 28, 2024

Genre/Tropes: Age Gap/Billionaire/Single Dad/Why Choose/Sports/Romantic Comedy

Author: Emma Foxx

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Emma Foxx has done it again and I’ve fallen in love with another quad-rouple😍❤️😍❤️ I don’t even care if that’s not a word because I’m head-over-heels smitten for Luna, Owen, Cameron, and Alexsei!

Luna McNeil is familiar with complicated relationships. Her best friend, Dani, is currently in one with three men, one being her own brother, and while Luna wouldn’t mind one-night of rolling in the sheets with one, or a few, hot guys, she isn’t looking for romance. So after she spends a few nights with the hot hockey player, Alexsei Ryan, and his hot, grumpy roommate, Cameron Bach, she figures she’s lived out her fantasies and gotten it out of her system, but those hot guys have different ideas, especially when another player comes into the picture.

Alexsei Ryan is…what is even more devoted and happy than a golden retriever…whatever that is it’s Alexsei. He’s the sun’s intensity of happiness and devotion and I was hooked from the very beginning. He’s the biggest cinnamon roll hero I think I’ve ever read. He’s full of easy going joy and to see him sad, even in the slightest, I totally understand why Cam and Luna always want to reverse it as soon as they can. However, because he can’t has zero impulse control he needs Cameron’s structure and grumpiness to tone down his spoiling ways. Their dynamic is super sweet, super hot, and just perfect!😍

Now, as for Cameron…Luna is one of the few, aside from Alexsei, that understand him. Luna has a great sassy banter with Cameron on a continual basis throughout the entire book and let me tell you…when those two spar they spark.

Lastly, we have Owen Phillips who is sweetly awkward, but also amazingly hot. He’s a single dad, a coach, a skilled lover and obsessed with Luna. Is there a carbon copy of Owen running around, send him my way please. 🙏 He stirs things up, down and sideways when it comes to the trio, to Luna, to everything and makes things blaze in the every possible way.

Actually, all three men ignite Luna in different ways, but the one thing they all have in common is that they don’t use her to get to her brother, Crew. Luna has spent her life living in his shadow, but these men let her shine on her own. 🥹 They don’t put her down about being successful because each of them are already successful in their own right, and they also are all a little bit sweet on her sweets. 😉

“Everything is about Luna. She’s chosen the three of us all for different reasons. And together we’re all going to give her everything she needs and wants.”

This book is fun, blazing hot, full of more emotion than I was expecting and I loved the entire story and can’t wait for more of this fantastic writing duo!!!

Synopsis:
Chicago Racketeers Book #5 and Yes, we agree that Luna needs a book! And yes, of course it’s going to be why choose!

Sex is a fantastic stress reliever.

Or so I’m told by the two hot guys who offer to help me get over some of my work-induced anxiety by getting under both of them.

I say yes. For one night.

And proceed to have my world rocked. For three days.

I can not afford that kind of distraction. As fun as it was, I have a business to run, a loan to pay off, and a life to live that does not include any extra commitments or responsibilities. Especially not a golden retriever hockey player and a bossy billionaire who are in love with each other and want to make me the third in their long-term plans.

And let’s not even talk about the third guy who wants to date me. He’s my brother’s coach. And twelve years older than me. But he’s also a single dad to a pretty great teenage son, and his competence and gentlemanly behavior are really hard to resist.

Of course, there’s also the not-so-gentlemanly things he says and does behind bedroom doors…

Then they all go and fall in love with me. Even though one of them is definitely not interested in making this a full-time foursome.

And the icing on top?

I’ve fallen for them, too. All of them.
How can I possibly choose?

Worse, how can I possibly walk away?

What are you going to get? Oh, let us tell you…
🌶️Spanking
🌶️Age Gap
🌶️Brother’s coach
🌶️Cinnamon Roll MC
🌶️Single Dad
🌶️Alpha Dom
🌶️Golden Retriever MC
🌶️Grumpy-Sunshine
🌶️Why choose
🌶️MM (yep 😉)

Want to know more about the guys? Alexsei (the hot, golden retriever hockey player), Cameron (the bossy billionaire), and Owen (the single dad hockey coach)… I think this sums it up pretty well (straight from Icing It)… 😉

Luna, Alexsei, Cam, and Owen are just as loveable, hot, and memorable as the first foursome Emma Foxx created! No cheating, a guaranteed HEA, and the guys are Soooo Sexy. If you like Lily Gold, Emily Rath, and Lauren Blakely, you’ll love the world of Emma Foxx!

BLURB:

The residents of Happy Haven Trailer park have been waiting for this for a long time. The slumlord who abandoned this place and let our homes deteriorate has been court ordered to live here while making repairs.

Imagine our surprise when the guy who shows up to move in to the dilapidated trailer across the street isn’t the sixty year old man we expected, but his son.

With a teasing smile and unshakeable positive attitude, Cooper Addington Junior pushes every one of my buttons. It doesn’t help that he also looks like he stepped off a fitness magazine cover.

The women who live here are all over him, but for some reason he’s focused on me. Too bad I see through his good guy act and I’m not falling for some spoiled rich boy.

What I am going to do is keep my eye on him and make sure he’s doing his job. I’m the one who took his father to court in the first place and he can’t put anything over on me.

What to expect:
🧡 Enemies-to-lovers

EXCERPT
  She keeps her gaze locked on mine when I step up close to her, lean in, and drop my voice. “When I hear you scream my name it’ll be because I’m inside you and it’s so f**king good you can’t keep quiet.”
  I’m aware this could go two different ways. One of which is very wrong since she’s my employee and could probably sue the hell out of me for sexual harassment. But the other possibility is she admits what she wants, and my time here becomes a lot more fun.
  My heartbeat doubles when she moves closer to me, our bodies only an inch or two apart. She brings her hand up to brush a fingertip lightly over the bite mark that she left on my lip.
Her voice is soft, breathy. “You’re right about one thing. It’d be good.” Her breath heats my cheek when she leans in. “Because I’m that good. I could take everything you can give and ride the f**k out of you afterward. You don’t know that about me.” Suddenly, she steps back, and a wide smile bursts across her face. “Too bad you never will.”
  “Am I interrupting something?” Cara grins at us from the edge of the yard.
  “Nope. Let’s go!” Maren chirps and walks off with her friend without a backward glance.
  Okay, maybe there’s a third option where she turns my attempt to seduce her around on me and leaves me with a raging h*rd-on.

Anger Banger; Happy Haven #2

Publication Date: February 23, 2024

Genre/Tropes: Romcom/Enemies to Lovers/Small Town Romance

Author: S.M. Shade

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Returning to Happy Haven, this time for Maren’s story, I once again returned to lots of laugh-out-loud fun stirred together with lots of steamy moments. It was the best combination to read.

Maren was instrumental in pursuing the slumlord who let Happy Haven Trailer Park fall into ruin. Now that the lawsuit has been won and the owner has to lawfully make the changes, on top of staying on site to oversee them himself, Maren is tickled pink the day has finally arrived. She is bold, brazen, and doesn’t back down from anything, especially with Cooper Addington Junior. While she’s taken aback that Cooper is super hot and not a cranky old man, she isn’t about to let Cooper’s hotness stand in her way of getting things fixed. Her take charge personality is one reason she won the lawsuit, but it’s also why Cooper can’t look away.

Cooper Junior inherited his father’s money, his properties, and his problems, but Cooper is nothing like his father. When he arrives at Happy Haven he digs right in and wants to help, but soon realizes that he also needs help to solve years worth of neglect and issues. Maren knows everyone and is his best lead, plus she doesn’t take grief, which he likes. These two have chemistry in spades, which is hot to witness, as Maren loves to verbally spar with him which lights his internal fire.

While Maren and Cooper blaze on the page with their romance, all of the secondary characters are a gem and add sparkle to the story. It’s also funny and loving and a really great series so far. I love this world where the women have strong thoughts and ideas, but it doesn’t emasculate the men either. I love a man who appreciates a strong woman and especially who doesn’t get embarrassed by her strength. The Happy Haven series also contains a colorful cast, which enriches the storyline and doesn’t take away from it, which makes for a very pleasurable read.  ❤️

Book One in the Happy Haven Series is a total treat and shouldn’t be missed, if you can help it…

Blog Tour – The Bride’s Runaway Billionaire by Pippa Grant

Book cover for The Bride’s Runaway Billionaire (Three BFFs and a Wedding Book 3) by Pippa Grant
Title: The Bride’s Runaway Billionaire
Series: Three BFFs and a Wedding #3
Author: Pippa Grant
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Runaway Bride/Oops Baby/Small Town/Single Mom/Second Chance/Celebrity Hero
Release Date: January 18, 2024
BLURB

Being the star of the world’s most viral runaway bride video wasn’t how I envisioned my future when I woke up on my wedding morning, but here we are.

With me hiding from the world in Fiji where I’m now honeymooning solo.

And where I just tripped over my number one celebrity crush, hungover and sleeping on my little porch.

Turns out Jonas Rutherford, Razzle Dazzle movie star and heir to the entertainment conglomerate’s billions, is having his own relationship issues and is here hiding too after details of his scandalous divorce went public.

I didn’t think inviting him in for a hangover cure would lead to us getting friendly. And friendlier. And then—okay, yes.

I slept with him. Who can blame a girl? When you’re suddenly unexpectedly single and the number one guy on your freebie list is available, you leap.

But when I wake up the next morning, I discover I’m not the only runaway in my life, because he’s just ghosted me.

It’s fine. I’m fine. Neither one of us is in a position to start an actual relationship.

But three years later?

When he crashes my brother’s wedding?

Where the son that he’s just discovered he has is serving as ring bearer?

Life was a lot easier when I was just a runaway bride.

The Bride’s Runaway Billionaire is a deliciously juicy and utterly swoony romcom featuring a jaded optimist who’s had enough of the limelight, a happy-go-lucky celebrity whose world has been upside down since that fling after his divorce, the most adorable two-year-old on the planet, and a chicken with an attitude. While this book stands alone, you won’t go wrong to read The Worst Wedding Date, The Gossip and the Grump, and The Last Eligible Billionaire first.

Where the son that he’s just discovered he has is serving as ring bearer?

Life was a lot easier when I was just a runaway bride.

The Bride’s Runaway Billionaire is a deliciously juicy and utterly swoony romcom featuring a jaded optimist who’s had enough of the limelight, a happy-go-lucky celebrity whose world has been upside down since that fling after his divorce, the most adorable two-year-old on the planet, and a chicken with an attitude. While this book stands alone, you won’t go wrong to read The Worst Wedding Date, The Gossip and the Grump, and The Last Eligible Billionaire first.

Review – Get Him Back by Coralee

Get Him Back
(standalone)

Publication Date: January 18, 2024

Genre/Tropes: Contemporary/Second Chance/Workplace Romance

Author: Coralee

Review Rating: 4.5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Get Him Back is definitely a slow burn, second chance romance that brings a lot of mushy heart vibes intermixed between silly laugh out loud moments.

First off, Sadie’s work environment resurfaced a lot of memories from my past work history where I was overlooked, overworked, and underappreciated for all of the extra tasks I was assigned. It was sometimes hard to watch Sadie be undervalued for half of the book. I honestly had no idea that after so many years it could be so difficult to see it spelled out on paper, but there it is.

Perhaps the pivotal moment I loved best was when Sadie was able to speak her mind, letting Jack know how much damage he did beginning in college leading up to the present. To sum up…there is always a beginning thread that begins to unravel us; creating our quirks, our core personalities and it isn’t often that we get to confront or even tell the person who pulled that first thread and began the hole in the fabric of who we become, if you will. Sadie never says anything about being less to those around her, she hates standing up for herself and a lot of those self-doubt feelings go back to those college days. Those feelings of never being enough for someone like Jack and the moment she was able to speak her truth…I even felt vindicated.

This book is of course a second chance romance…so of course the even better part of this story is that when Sadie told Jack he also listened. This is the point in the book I sat up and took notice.

This man, who didn’t appreciate Sadie, for reasons, is all about letting her shine. He’s a man who can excel on his own merit and loves when those around him excel too. There is nothing sexier than that. He isn’t afraid to admit he was wrong and he wants to make amends, plus he wants Sadie to shine. That’s fantastic boyfriend quality right there.

Get Him Back wasn’t what I was expecting, but in some ways the differences were freshing. In others, yes, I miss the quirky Coralee books I’ve read before, but this new path she’s taken is still a good book at the end of the day. Did it also take just a little bit to fall into their groove, just a touch, but that is why I went with 4.5 stars vs. a full 5.

Synopsis:
From CoraLee comes a second chance workplace romcom with a dose of revenge and irresistible passion.

Meet Jack Thompson: charming, captivating, and my newest co-worker—the same man who heartlessly ghosted me in college.

Now, it’s payback time.

With a sly smile and a plan for revenge, I’m ready to make him suffer. I seduce him, unravel his world, and leave him craving more.

But to my surprise, Jack revels in the torment, finding a twisted pleasure in our vengeful escapades.

I’m not sure who’s being played at this point.

I thought I had the game plan down to a science. But sometimes the line between revenge and passion is blurred—and in the biggest plot twist of all, settling scores might just mean falling head over heels.

Blog Tour – TMI by J.E. Berk, Leslie McAdam, and Rachel Ember

What do a clueless mayor, his grouchy best friend, and an investigative journalist have in common?

TMI by Leslie McAdam, JE Birk & Rachel Ember is now live!
https://geni.us/TMIRomance
FREE with Kindle Unlimited!

Two firefighters. One twink. Can an evil twin, a small-town holiday competition, and revealed secrets bring them together?

I returned to Vermont to write an article about Mayor Doug McEmbirk and his town’s battle to win their local Holiday-Off. Even before I knew him, I had a crush on him. Because have you seen the man? OMG. With his big biceps and easy charm, Doug’s straight out of my firefighter fantasies. But I wasn’t planning on my inconvenient attraction to his scowly, grumpy roommate, Zeke, who’s the identical twin of my high school bully. That’s… messy.

Life gets even messier when Zeke confesses to the entire town that he’s bisexual—and that he’s been in love with Doug for years. Problem is, Doug’s straight.

Or is he?

Now, I’m on a mission to bring these two hot men together. I volunteer my services as a love coach, because these burly guys can’t even kiss without my assistance. Except both men seem to be into me as well. This is one confusing holiday season.

Things only get more complicated when meddling newspaper editors and kidnapped cows become involved. Not to mention some accidental texts and eggnog-fueled confessions. Will Zeke, Doug, and I be able to navigate our newfound feelings? Or is this relationship as doomed as the Holiday-Off competition appears to be?

TMI is a holiday m/m/m romance that includes a grandma-chic house, lots of cheer, and many OTT fantasies. It stars Max, a journalist without a filter, Zeke, a grumbly Viking pirate, and Doug, a himbo mayor who makes excellent cinnamon rolls. Cameos from Sherbert and the guys from ILYBSM included. HEA guaranteed.

Review – TMI by J.E. Birk, Leslie McAdam and Rachel Ember

TMI
(standalone within a series)

Publication Date: December 3, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Romcom/Hero/Small-Town/Friends-to-Lovers/Holiday/MMM-Menage Romance

Author: J.E. Birk and Leslie McAdam and Rachel Ember

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Imagine a dirty Christmas romcom movie, then TMI checked all the boxes with this book in that genre. It includes holiday shenanigans, a small town curmudgeon, the best dirty fantasies turned real life and super steamy, best friends to lovers, and great secondary characters. TMI is the the perfect holiday book to kick off the Christmas season.

This is a new holiday story from McAdam, Birk, and Ember, the writing trio that loves bringing trios together at the holiday time. 🔥TMI is a story that brings two long-time best friends even closer and heals some old wounds from their B&B guest while he’s there to write a story about the Holiday-Off, a holiday competition between two small Vermont towns and the hot mayor, who also happens to be a fireman, that is under fire for said competition. 🤣 I can’t help myself with a good pun.

Zeke and Doug have been friends since their childhood, whereas Max grew up in a town nearby. Max isn’t exactly excited to be back in Vermont, as he was bullied as a child, but he does love his job and the thought of interviewing two hot firefighters certainly lights his fire. Luckily he’ll be staying with two dreamy firemen, it’s basically fulfilling one of his hot fantasies, but all dreaming aside, once Max sets aside his childhood trauma he becomes the flint to set the fire on some very big pieces of wood.😉 I literally can’t help myself.🤣

Doug and Zeke may have always been best friends and even done basically everything thing together, but Zeke has been holding a secret for a very long time, he harbors feelings for Doug and its not until Max enters their lives that his truth actually spills out, and then shockingly once that fire is lit, it’s hard to put out, making for one hot Christmas. I’m sorry, I’ll try to stop.

And…the fantasies…my, oh my…Max sure knows how to get Doug and Zeke talking and going for TMI. I loved it because that is my modus operandi 🤣 I try to warn people I have no filter, but that TMI usually just comes running right out. 😉 Hence, I loved Max and his open loving heart and total lack of filter. He may not have known Zeke or Doug long, but sometimes you just know when you meet someone and that person fits so easily into your life and they just make everything better. Max is the jelly in their peanut butter sandwich, he is the bridge that connects their paths, he just fits and slides…wink, wink…perfectly between them. If you couldn’t tell, this new book is full of fun, holiday spirit, and steamy good times.  Well…I tried.

With a wink and a nod to all three authors in Doug’s last name of McEmbirk and of course the obvious listing of the authors names on the cover, TMI contains the best fusion of writing talent. Honestly, if there weren’t three names listed on the book cover, I wouldn’t know this book was written by three individual people, with that being said, I really hope this isn’t the last we see of McEmbirk😉 and that they continue writing together.

Synopsis:
A Holiday M/M/M Romance
Expect two firefighters falling in love with a twink. Or, as I like to think about them, we have a romance about a himbo, a grouch, and a ray of sunshine. Plus grandma chic. And goats.

Two firefighters. One twink. Can an evil twin, a small-town holiday competition, and revealed secrets bring them together?

I returned to Vermont to write an article about Mayor Doug McEmbirk and his town’s battle to win their local Holiday-Off. Even before I knew him, I had a crush on him. Because have you seen the man? OMG. With his big biceps and easy charm, Doug’s straight out of my firefighter fantasies. But I wasn’t planning on my inconvenient attraction to his scowly, grumpy roommate, Zeke, who’s the identical twin of my high school bully. That’s… messy.

Life gets even messier when Zeke confesses to the entire town that he’s bisexual—and that he’s been in love with Doug for years. Problem is, Doug’s straight.

Or is he?

Now, I’m on a mission to bring these two hot men together. I volunteer my services as a love coach, because these burly guys can’t even kiss without my assistance. Except both men seem to be into me as well. This is one confusing holiday season.

Things only get more complicated when meddling newspaper editors and kidnapped cows become involved. Not to mention some accidental texts and eggnog-fueled confessions. Will Zeke, Doug, and I be able to navigate our newfound feelings? Or is this relationship as doomed as the Holiday-Off competition appears to be?

Release Date: November 29, 2023
BLURB
She’s the bane of my existence and the last woman I should want.
Then why does learning we can’t be together damn near shred my heart?

Naomi James holds a grudge like it’s an Olympic competition.

She’s always in front of me in line for our coffees, going out of her way to annoy me—not advancing when she should, paying in pennies and nickels—all because I did something stupid seven years ago.

Even worse, the slope of her long neck and smell of her tropical perfume drives me to distraction.

Apparently, my body didn’t get the we-hate-Naomi memo.

She’s so aggravating, I have half a mind to quit frequenting my favorite coffee shop. Until I discover why she’s harbored a grudge this long.

Now all bets are off, because hell. She thinks I said awful things about her, which I most certainly did not, and I can’t live with this misunderstanding. Or how often she invades my dreams. Or the fact that I’ve wanted her for seven years.

But just when Naomi looks ready to forgive me and admit she’s angry because she cares, any future together gets ripped away from us…

Review – Where It Begins by Helena Hunting

Where It Begins; A Pucked Novella
(Prequel Novella)

Publication Date: December 5, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Novella/Opposites Attract/Contemporary Romance/Single Parents/Romantic Comedy

Author: Helena Hunting

Review Rating: 5.0 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
This book was super cute and I loved being back in the Pucked world, pre- Pucked, if that makes sense. Meeting  young Vi and Miller was a total trip and I adored their relationships with both of their parents, Sidney and Skye.

Now, let’s get to Sidney and Skye, basically they are amazing!! Skye is the grown-up version of Violet; sweet, a bit awkward, and super smart. What’s not to love since Violet is one of my all time favorite characters. Skye is a single mom, an accountant, and raising a teenage Violet who is brilliant in her own rights. Skye falls for Sidney slowly and then sort of all at once, but I adored how she thought of Violet about her decision the entire way.

Sidney is a hockey fanatic, he’s a hockey scout, so not a player, but heavily involved within the world and raising his teenage son, Miller also known as Buck. Sidney looks like the older version of his son, and he’s a total sweetheart. He’s been raising his son alone, he’s a widower, sorry for that bit of spoiler since I didn’t remember that bit from Pucked myself, but he’s a great dad and the way he treats Skye, I was a total goner. He too factored his son into dating and it only made him hotter!!

We also get insight from both Vi and Miller, which was great! Did I mention I loved this book…cause, hello…total love…, anyway…Where Violet is brainy and somewhat has her life together, because she has her sights set on the future, Miller is a bit of a dude-bro even though he’s extremely talented with hockey. Again, I loved visiting these two as teens since I’ve gotten to know them as adults and already entrenched in their careers. Their perspectives on their parents is cute, and then when they first meet…loved it!!

So, even for readers who haven’t picked up the Pucked series, honestly, just finding the similarly between raising kids and finding time to date, whether you’re married or not, as a parent myself finding alone time with your partner is almost impossible, so this book hit just right. I loved this whole story and could have read a ton more.

Synopsis:
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Helena Hunting comes a new story in her Pucked series. The untold story of Skye and Sidney, and the origin story where Vi and Miller are teens when their parents start dating and fall in love…

I accidentally grabbed the wrong drink at the coffee shop. On the upside, the hot guy it belonged to chased me down to kindly swap with me. On the down side, the reason I grabbed the wrong drink in the first place is because the hot guy had just caught me checking out his ass…sets.

In my defense, his rear view is rather magnificent.

In true, humiliating form, I word-vomited a bunch of horrible nonsense. Including an unnecessary explanation of the trauma I’d evaded thanks to his chasing me down. Nothing could ruin my lactose-intolerant day faster than my one true dairy.

I did not expect him to ask me out on a date after that.

I also didn’t expect the date to go well since my tendency to truth-vomit is high, and not everyone finds that quality endearing.

But apparently he does. Because he asks me out again.
And again.

Sidney Butterson (yes, it’s a weird last name) ticks all my boxes.
He’s smart, he’s funny, he’s employed and he’s ridiculously hot.
There’s one catch.

We’re both single parents. With teens.

And if our kids don’t like each other?
Well, we’re doomed.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**
