Macon Miles knows what it means to make sacrifices for his country. Married to his high school sweetheart, he once had a promising future in the military and everything seemed complete. All that changed when a routine patrol in Afghanistan turned into a nightmare. When the dust settled, Macon had lost his career, his wife, and his leg. Lost and alone, his only comfort comes from his newfound love of cooking. When his estranged brother, Adam, offers him a new home and a chance to work at a friend’s restaurant in Dallas, it’s an offer he can’t refuse.
A woman searching for the past…
Allyson Jones made her foster mother a deathbed promise. She would find out what really happened to Ronnie in Afghanistan. Ally doesn’t believe the Army’s reports about her foster brother’s death, and she knows only one man can tell her what really happened—Macon Miles. Following him to Dallas, she gets a job working alongside him at Top, Sean Taggart’s decadent new restaurant. She is sure Macon is hiding something about Ronnie’s death, and she’ll do whatever it takes to unravel the mystery.
When circumstances force Macon and Ally together, their chemistry is hotter than any dish at Top. But when Ally’s deception is exposed and the truth about Ronnie’s death is revealed, will they be able to reclaim the love they’ve lost?
🎧Review🎧 Macon’s last military mission resulted in the loss of his leg and ended his marriage as well. He is struggling to find a path forward until Adam, his brother, finds out what happens and brings him home with him. He is now working at Top, the restaurant owned by Sean Taggart, when Allyson starts working there as well.
Allyson has a reason for working at Top and it is to try to find the answers that she believes that Macon has about her brother’s death. When she gets to know Macon she realizes that he is a good man and that is the only truth she needs to know but secrets have a way of coming out in the worst possible way.
Both Allyson and Allyson bear the emotional scars of the past which doesn’t always allow them to make the best choices. The heat and feelings between them are undeniable as they both help each other heal from the past. Lance Greenfield does a wonderful job of narrating story and allows you to experience the emotions that they were feelings as well as the camaraderie with the rest of the characters.
She was never supposed to be mine. Walking away was the only acceptable decision.
It was just one night. Two lonely souls finding solace in the one place we shouldn’t have—my bed. I thought once would be enough, but leaving her is my biggest—maybe my only—regret.
Now, I’m back and seeing the results of that night is killing me.
I’ll make it up to her. I have to. Because I’ve never loved anyone else.
Because I’d rather die than break her heart a second time.

A secret neuroscience project. A war the world wasn’t ready for. The fate of humanity on the line. A decade ago, the U.S. government shut down the Cranio-Genesis Project after it spiraled out of control. Now, the world is paying the price.

Or will humanity fall to a force they never saw coming? Fast-paced, thrilling, and filled with suspense, this first installment in a gripping sci-fi trilogy will leave you hungry for more.
I’m living my dream. Owning a cozy little bakery in downtown Snowflake Falls is everything I ever wanted. Even though the holidays are a hectic time of year, there’s nothing better than the feel of Christmas mixed with a bit of sugar.
When an unexpected visitor drops by to say hello, my entire world shifts on its axis. Burk Whitman was my best friend until, right before our first year of high school, he unexpectedly moved away. Now, he’s back in town and being around him isn’t exactly a hardship. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.
The problem is, his time here is temporary and if I’m not careful, I risk losing my heart forever.
Burk
One phone call is all it takes for me to come back to Snowflake Falls. With my gramps in the hospital, a huge void is left at my family’s Christmas tree farm during their busiest time of year. Being here after fourteen years might be just what the doctor ordered.
When I hear my oldest friend, Joy Campbell, owns the bakery in town, I have to drop by to say hello. I’m ready to fall back into the familiar banter we once engaged in, but what I’m not expecting is to come face-to-face with the most beautiful woman in the world. Spending time with her isn’t a hardship, and soon, lines begin to blur.
How will I return to the East Coast when everything I didn’t realize I wanted is right where I left it in Snowflake Falls?

When I’m sent to Ember Falls to handle a PR nightmare, I have no idea I am creating a crisis of my own. Killian Thorn is everything I know to resist—older, rugged and handsome with mesmerizing green eyes and a wicked smile—which is why instead of running from him, I end up in his bed.
Forced to work together, our stolen kisses are the least of our worries because the scandal on Killian’s ranch continues to grow.
My job is to fix the issue, but our secret is only making it worse.

Nalia never expected to move back to her hometown, especially not with her ten-year-old sister in tow. But when her biological mother is sent to prison, she finds herself stepping into the role of parent. Overwhelmed with her new reality, she turns to the one place she has always felt safe. Home with her family.
What she doesn’t expect when she moves home is him.
After getting divorced, Logan Rafe is not interested in another relationship. His world revolves around his two kids and the auto shop he built from the ground up.
But then he meets Nalia Mayson. Beautiful, brave, and completely uninterested.
Using everything at his disposal, including their kids’ friendship, as an excuse to get closer, Logan slowly breaks down her walls. And before long, what began as an unlikely friendship becomes something deeper, something only he saw coming.
But healing takes time, and Nalia will need to accept herself and her past before she can fully let herself fall in love. And the two of them, well, the two of them will need to navigate having children, a school bully, and a complex family situation if they are going to find their happily ever after.
💜Review💜 When Nalia finds herself a single mother to her sister Zuri due to her birth mother’s incarceration she returns to her hometown and the Mayson family as she knows that is the best place for them both. She has her hands full so the last thing she thinks she needs is to get romantically involved with Logan, whose son is now her sister’s best friend.
Logan is happy with his life as he has his business and his two kids. When he sees Nalia he remembers the feelings he had for her as a teenager. He didn’t believe he was looking for love but once she is back in his life he knows that she is what has been missing and now he just needs to convince her.
The romance between Nalia and Logan was enchanting as they worked together to overcome the outside forces that were adding turmoil to their life. This story and this series has always been around family and I enjoyed not only the family they created with them and their children but the family and friends they were surrounded by who were always there to offer advice and support.
The only commitment I adhere to is being the best hockey player out there on the ice. That’s why I’m captain of my team and center the top line.
Relationships? Nah, they’re not for me.
But I’m far from a monk. Women flock to me, so I give them what they want—a good time and that’s it.
But now there’s this one girl, Madison Ellery, who I can’t get out of my head. I want her like I’ve never wanted anyone before. What’s even crazier is that I want more from her than just the usual one lusty night.
What is happening to me?
Madison
I want Lennox Foley, and I’m going to get him. But he better not fall for me. I’m too much of a “love ’em and leave ’em” kind of gal.
Even gorgeous Lennox can’t change my ways.
Or can he?
Send help!
Lennox is the story of two perfectly matched people trying to fight fate, and it’s the second novel in the new Glacier Hockey series.
*can be read as a standalone*
🏒Review🏒
Lennox is focused on his hockey career and his team which also means that he prefers to keep his interactions with woman casual. He is attracted to Madison however the situation is complicated since she is the best friend of his teammate’s wife. When he realizes that she feels the same way it seems like a match made in heaven however for the first time he may want more than one night.
Madison is attracted to Lennox as well and she isn’t afraid to go after what she wants despite what others would think. Giving into the chemistry was the easy part however what happens if one night is not enough?
Neither Lennox nor Madison were looking for love or a relationship but with the right person some things are just meant to be.
