Harlow James is a pen name I use to protect my identity as a high school teacher. Keeping those two roles in my life separate is necessary, but also fun! Itโs like a live two lives, and anonymity gives me the opportunity to be bold and take risks in my stories.
I stumbled upon romance novels in 2018 when I picked up Driven by Kristy Bromberg, and I was obsessed. I had just lost my grandmother too, so reading offered me an escape from reality and a chance to grieve on my own terms.
About a year later, I got an idea for my own book and started writing. I researched self-publishing and jumped in with both feet. I had no idea what I was doing!
But now Iโve built a business and hobby that I LOVE! I have an outlet thatโs just for me. When I write, Iโm not a mom, a wife, or a teacherโฆIโm a woman who gets to tell stories that no one else can.
My books are the perfect blend of heartwarming moments, full-bellied laughs, and PLENTY of steam to melt your Kindles ๐ And there are always elements of me sprinkled in to every character and story that I write.
When Iโm not writing you can find me reading or spending time in my kitchen. I love to cook and feed my family and friends. Otherwise, you can find me watching comedy specials with my husband, camping with our kids, or taking naps. I live for naps ๐

As the pirates set sail into the unknown, Jordan is haunted by visions of the glowing whirlpool that brought him to this world. Visions that corrupt his magic, and suggest the Imperium isnโt the biggest danger lurking on these enchanted islandsโฆ
Can Jordan master his rogue powers, find the lost army, and save his people? Or will Governor Jakjobb seize the moment to end the pirateโs rebellion, and his life? Get ready for an action-packed adventure that oozes with excitement!

While I get us two glasses of water, Laney moves around the space, looking at the dรฉcor and finally settling on the sectional. She looks at the fireplace thatโs more decorative than functional and smiles.
ย
โHere you go.โ
ย
She takes the glass from me and lifts it to her lips, taking a small sip. I take the seat next to her and lean back into the cushions, my arm resting on the back. My hand is close enough I could touch her with a slight movement. She leans forward and sets her glass on the coffee table.
ย
When she moves back to her spot, she buries her face in her hands. โIโm nervous.โ
ย
Thank goodness Iโm not the only one. โMe too.โ
ย
Her eyes lift to peek through her fingers. โReally?โ
ย
I nod and stretch over to place my glass next to hers. I watch as she moves her hands to her lap, fingers twisting. Her unease is evident and I hate that she may feel uncomfortable.
ย
Gently, I shift closer, closing the space between us and placing my hand over hers. I watch as her shoulders drop. Our eyes meet and my thumb traces circles along her soft skin.
ย
โYeah really. Thereโs something happening here that scares the shit out of me. I came to Magnolia Grove to get some space from all that we lost, I never expected to meet someone like you.โ
ย
Laney sinks into the cushion and sighs. โRyan, we hardly know one another.โ
ย
She has a point but still, something is there. Not much can come of it. We live in two different states and my life is a cluster, to say the least.
ย
โThat doesnโt mean there isnโt chemistry. Youโre a scientist, you understand chemistry.โ
ย
An eyeroll and then a smack on my arm cuts through any of the awkward tension that was lingering. We laugh and talk about the Jubilee and the anxiety she felt being on stage. Slowly we find ourselves closer, her legs are stretched over mine and my finger plays with the loops of her sweater.

๐Review๐
Ryan has come to Magnolia Grove to help his daughter Pepper heal from the passing of her mother.ย ย When he meets Laney, he is drawn to her in a way he wasnโt prepared for but seeing the way she is with Pepper only makes her more special.
Laney knows that Magnolia Grove is the place she is supposed to be and the life she wants.ย ย When she meets Ryan and Pepper she senses a kindred soul and wants to be there for them as they face the changes in their lives.
This is a heartwarming story about love, family and healing from the past.ย It was wonderful to not only see the romance between Laney and Ryan develop between the relationship between Laney and Pepper as well.

Iโm the starting goalie for the BU Wolves, Coach Baylor has become the family I have always wanted as a kid, and my dream career is waiting for me. All I need to do is defend my net for the next few seasons so I can prove to the Boston Bruisers that they drafted me for a reason. Thatโs a pretty bright future for a man with a past like mine.
When I hit up a party with a bunch of my roommates, I never expected to fall hard. But from that night on, itโs out of my control. Maggie Baylor is the one for me, no matter how much she tries to deny it.

But thatโs not my faultโHottie Gym Shorts Guy wasโฆwell, hot. And sweet. And so very talented. Thatโs why I bolted the next morning. I didnโt move back home to fall in lust or worse, love. I came back to Bainbridge to spend time with my Uncle Hudson and earn my degree.
Besides, there wonโt be any drama because Iโm never going to see him again.
Except I do. We just keep running into each other. Itโs fine, though. I can resist.
Until I canโt. JT is crumbling all my defenses. Iโm on the verge of letting myself fall in love, even if I know my uncle will disapprove, when two little pink lines appear. I brace myself for impact because the only thing I know about love is that it doesnโt last.
But JT doesnโt leave my side. He slays my dragons and rubs my feet and makes me reconsider everything I thought I knew.
Is this really something I can believe in, or will our world come crashing down just when we need each other the most?

๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฌ๐ฌ-๐๐ก๐๐๐ค๐๐ (Boston Rebels Book 3) by Julia Connors is releasing on January 31, 2025!!! Check out the tropes and blurb!
Some people might call it a grudge, but in reality, hating Alessandra Jones is more like an obsession.
AJ is the leagueโs first female general manager, and my boss. As the team captain, I have to play nice with herโin public, at least.
But in private, the gloves come off. And then one time, our clothes do too.
We vow it wonโt happen again.
Not only can we not stand each other, but weโre in tense negotiations over my contract right now, and AJ is up for the leagueโs GM of the Year award. Getting involved wouldnโt just be a PR nightmareโit would be unethical.
It doesnโt help that we have a history, or that she and my daughter adore each other. When AJ is injured protecting my baby, thereโs no choice but to move her into my place.
Taking care of someone I hate shouldnโt feel so right. Getting to know her better shouldnโt break down my defenses. Sheโs hurt me once before, and Iโd be a fool to trust her again.
But the more time we spend together, the more I realize that maybe Iโm not obsessed with hating her . . . maybe Iโm just obsessed with her.
