šReviewš When Lexi agreed to step in for her boss and show a property she never expected the events that would unfold. She is expecting to see a client but who she finds instead is Joshua, who is not only from a rival real estate agency but also the man she has been trying to deny her attraction to.
Joshua works for his fatherās real estate company who is convinced to spend some time at one of their properties. What he wasnāt expecting was that he wouldnāt be alone or that find himself stranded there with Lexi might finally allow them to realize the feelings between them arenāt forbidden but fate.
Joshua is the perfect mix of sweet and swoony while Lexi is both strong and sassy. The interactions between them are humorous and hot and the romance endearing.

Whitney G. is a New York Times & USA Today bestselling author. Her books are currently published in over a dozen languages.
She lives deep in the Tennessee woods and spends most of her time drinking coffee while penning dirty-talking alpha males.
Iām no damsel in distress. At least not until I get myself stuck inside a burning house and need to be rescued. One viral video later, Iām agreeing to fake date the firefighter who pulled me out of the fire.
Seth Davis is new in town. Heās not only quiet and reclusive, but he looks like a lumbersnack. Add in the firefighter gig and itās no wonder the women in this town are flocking to him like bees to honey.
He hates the attention and I need to send a message to my cheating ex that thereās no way weāre ever getting back together. Itās a win-win situation.
Exceptā¦
Sethās fake touches start to feel very real. Underneath the grumpy persona is a sweet side any woman would swoon over. Including me.
Iām not sure Iām ready to open my heart again, but what weāre doing feels like a lot more than pretending.
š„Reviewš„
Seth is a firefighter who was only doing his job when he rescued Violet from a fire. Now the publicity that went along with the rescue has given him attention he doesnāt want so when Beth wants to thank him he mentions that the best way she could show her appreciation is by pretending they are a couple.
Violet is a crime scene tech who found herself in a dangerous situation when she is rescued by Seth. Sethās suggestion that they pretend to be a couple seems like a win-win as it will also allow her to distance herself from her ex but developing feelings for each other wasnāt part of the plan especially when a person from his past resurfaces and creates a challenge that neither saw coming.
Violet is strong, independent and sees beneath Sethās cantankerous demeanor to the man he truly is. The attraction between them is undeniable and the way they support each other through a time of turmoil only reinforces that they are perfect for each other in every way.

Forgetting playboy Wells Silver was supposed to be easy. If only he didnāt make it impossible. Secrets are made on the sandy shores and in the sweet small towns of Silver Island, where friendships run deep, passions run hot, and the sexy Silvers are considered island royalty. Love in Bloom novels are written to stand alone and may also be enjoyed as part of the larger series, so dive right in and devour this fun, steamy romance.
Being born into the Silver empire comes with certain expectations, but charming restaurant owner Wells Silver has always taken pleasure in breaking the rulesāin his personal and his professional life.
Victoria Braden never expected to become a widow at thirty-two, much less still be trying to figure out how to move on five years later. Sheād planned to drown her sorrows in alcohol on what would have been her anniversary, not flirt with trouble and lose herself in a night of passion with Silver Island royalty, playboy Wells Silver. Forgetting Wells was supposed to be easy. But apparently the pushy player didnāt get the memo.
š„Reviewš„ Even though itās been five years Victory is still healings from the death of her husband and at times it feels like it was only yesterday. She isnāt ready for a new relationship but one night with Wells might be exactly what she needs as she is well aware of his reputation with women and knows that there is no danger of either of them wanting more.
Wells knows that Victory is different from any woman he has ever met before, and she has him wanting more. He is willing to be patient and understanding while he shows her that she deserves to find love and happiness again and doing so doesnāt diminish what she shared with her husband.
The journey of Wells and Victory is filled with so much emotion as Wells shows Victory there is so much more to life than the way she has been living it and when it comes to love the risk is worth the reward.
