Forgetting playboy Wells Silver was supposed to be easy. If only he didn’t 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. Being born into the Silver empire comes with certain expectations, but these strong-willed siblings are breaking all the rules. Love in Bloom novels are written to stand alone and may also be enjoyed as part of the larger series, so dive right into this fun, sexy romance.
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. She’d 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 didn’t get the memo.✨INFLUENCERS: Sign up to review here: https://bit.ly/flirtingwithtroublesignup

Narrated by: Jason Clarke & Erin Mallon
A surprise single dad, small town romantic suspense…
I’m the last guy on the planet who should be a dad. My life is chaos. My sins written dark and deep. So, imagine my surprise when my doorbell rings and I open it to find the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen standing on the other side. And she’s holding the hand of a little girl who looks just like me.
Emery tells me her sister, the child’s mother, is dead. I feel like dirt since she’s a woman I can hardly remember, and it’s no wonder Emery doesn’t trust that I’m worthy of caring for her niece. But I can’t turn my back, and I insist on raising Maci. So, we strike a deal—she’ll stay with me for one month to ensure the little girl is safe.
Emery tries to hate me for who I am, but neither of us can resist the attraction that blazes between us. One brush of her hand, and she has me on my knees. One kiss, and I’m falling fast. Soon, we find ourselves tangled in my sheets.
But when it’s discovered her sister’s death wasn’t accidental, the secret life I’ve been living collides with the past Emery has tried to keep hidden. And when the fiends come back to finish the job they started, I’m in a race against time to save the two people who I’ve come to love most…

🎧Review🎧 Emery had come to Moonlit Ridge to honor her sister’s request. The first time she meets Kane is when he comes to her rescue however not only didn’t she know who he was, but she never expected to see him again. The next time she sees him is to introduce him to Maci, the four-year-old daughter he didn’t know about however developing feelings for him while she helps Maci adjust wasn’t part of the plan.
Kane is a man with a dark and dangerous past and present. He has created a family however due to his past he never expected to have a family of his own however when Emery and Maci come into his life he can’t imagine a future without them however his past is about to catch up with him and threaten those he loves most.
Both Emery and Kane have devastating pasts which has shaped them into the people they are. Not only are they captivating characters, but Maci is cuteness personified. I listed to the audio in one day and couldn’t put it down. The performance by Jason Clarke brought out the protective side of Kane while Erin Mallon brings out the strength of Emery.

“Bet you didn’t plan on learning to skydive today.” “This is not skydiving,” she shouted. “This is gracefully falling to your death! I would have preferred the fiery plane crash!” I looked around, spotting Chase and Nick in the distance. They were further to the left, having jumped out after me. We’d have to hike through the mountains to get to them, but at least we were alive. For now. “I have a confession to make!” she shouted over the roar of the wind. “What’s that?” “I really don’t like heights!” I chuckled, holding her tighter to me. “It’s a little late to change your mind about taking that flight.” “I have another confession,” she yelled. “I think you’re really sexy!” She looked up into my eyes, her cheeks bright red from the wind whipping at us. “I just thought I should say that in case I plummet to my death! I can’t have anything hanging over my head!” “That’s alright,” I laughed. “And I also didn’t pay my taxes last year!” “Well, I think you’ll be okay.” “And I accidentally called my fiancé Big Bad Dick in an email once. Except, I was responding to a group email and sent it to everyone instead of him!” I guided us to the right, hoping to make it to a clearing, laughing the whole fucking time as she spilled her guts to me. “And when I was in college, I stuck my roommate’s hand in water while she was sleeping because she told me I looked fat in my jeans. She wet the bed and was made fun of for three months!” “That’s—” “And when I was in high school, I was working at this shop and I really had to go to the bathroom. The toilet wouldn’t flush and I’d gone number two. I was so scared about them finding my poop that I pulled it out with toilet paper and stuffed it in the trash!” I choked on a laugh. “You did what?” “They were going to see my shit! But then the garbage didn’t get emptied and it smelled like shit in the bathroom. I was mortified!” “I think confession time is done—” “And I always told James I liked it when he fingered me, but he was horrible at it! I was just too chicken to tell him!” Now, that was interesting, but I didn’t have time to discuss it further as we soared toward our landing.
She’s baking her heart out. He’s playing to win. Together, they’re about to heat things up—on and off the field.
Liv Garner’s café is her safe haven, where she crafts mouthwatering pastries and dodges her mother’s endless criticism. But when her vengeful ex-fiancé stirs up trouble, Liv’s dream is suddenly on the line.
Elliott “Iceman” Snow is a rugby legend with a steely focus that’s made him unstoppable—until an injury sidelines his career and his confidence. A chance meeting with Liv brings a spark he can’t ignore and a challenge he can’t resist.
When Liv’s buttery sweetness collides with Elliott’s fiery determination, their connection is instant, electric, and completely off-script. But between meddling families, career pressures, and a paparazzi frenzy, can they keep their romance from getting tackled?
Sweet Rucking Temptation is a fast-paced, feel-good romance packed with sizzling chemistry, bold risks, and the ultimate play for love. Get ready to fall hard!
I used to believe in happily ever afters, until the man my mother married stripped away my innocence, piece by piece.
For years, he kept me completely isolated, locked away and out of sight. If not for my diary, I’m not sure I would have survived his torment.
But when two pink lines turn my world upside down, I know it’s now or never—I have to escape before the monster down the hall learns my secret and destroys my only reason for living.
Alone and on the run, help comes from the last place I’d ever expect—his son.
Atlas swears he’s nothing like his father. He says he only wants to protect me and my unborn baby.
Slowly but surely, he earns my trust and begins stitching me back together again, and before I know it, I find myself falling for him.
But no matter how much he feels like home, I can’t shake the fear of what will happen if his father finds me. Because no amount of paper and ink will shield me from the past… or him.

Teller Bailey is the last single son in a Montana bourbon empire. He’s also arrogant, infuriating, and unfairly handsome with his beard and flannel.
Everyone in town loves him. Everyone in town detests me.
I’m “Mad Maddy” Townsend, the only surviving daughter of Bourbon Canyon’s most reviled family. I’m also mouthy, broke, and spectacularly alone.
I’ve wanted nothing more than to get away from this small town and their opinions of me since birth, yet I’m stuck here with nothing but a trashed dive bar and a shoestring budget to get it back in business—or my mom will be evicted from her nursing home.
But there isn’t a contractor in the county who’ll return my calls, at least without including a few four-letter words in their messages. My only hope for competent help is the annual bachelor auction featuring the town’s most eligible Bailey. The prize? One project completed for the highest bidder.
I must be every bit as crazy as this town thinks to bid on Teller. The man I can’t stand will be mine until I’m ready to serve my first drink. All I have to do is not fall for his charming smile, his unyielding support, or the way his name opens all the doors slammed in my face. I’ve never been treated so well, but I know how this goes. When this job is finished, he’ll ride off into the bourbon sunset—without me, just like everyone else in my life.
Readers who love Elsie Silver, Devney Perry, Laura Pavlov, and Lyla Sage will love Bourbon Sunset.
Before ascending the throne of the Blackburn Empire in Kentucky horse country, they were just Tommy and Fiona, two teenagers from opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Young love bloomed during an Irish summer set amidst the rolling green hills and lush pastures of Tipperary County.
Fiona Conlan grew up sheltered by her overbearing parents and vibrating with the need for something more. In the summer of 1978, she found exactly what she needed. Ready to test the boundaries set for her, Fiona trained in the exhilarating and dangerous sport of steeplechase, and in an even more rebellious move, started secretly dating a young and brash American she knew her parents would never approve of.
Too much partying and not enough studying during his sophomore year of college had Tommy Blackburn’s parents desperate to get the future heir of the family business to take life a little more seriously. What better way to do that than to send him to Ireland to work at Glenhaven, a massive thoroughbred and breeding operation run by a family friend. But Tommy’s wild ways followed him across the pond and he couldn’t help but pursue the beautiful redhead with fire in her eyes and a wild spirit just waiting to break free.
Tommy and Fiona fell hard and fast, a secret love built from stolen moments. Rife with drama and disapproval, they overcame it all to set the stage for a new generation of Blackburns to run their American Empire. Their epically romantic journey was anything but easy, but you can’t get to the present without The Past.
The Past: A Blackburn Novel is an opposites attract, long distance love story within the Bluegrass Empires series. All books in the series can be enjoyed as standalones.
Well, sixty nine if you count me, Elizabeth Sweet, Monhegan’s newest resident and retired child star.
When I first step off the boat, I’m ready to be charmed by the island that holds the sweetest memories from my childhood. A place so remote that even the pesky media won’t bother to look for me here.
What I get instead is exasperation.
“Summer people.” It’s grumbled like a curse, a growl of sorts. No one seems to want me here, least of all the grumpy sheriff who seems affronted by my mere existence.
He’s stupidly handsome, goes nowhere without his beloved golden retriever Bing, and speaks in nothing but grunts.
Unfortunately for Fisher Jones, I’m not going anywhere. In fact we’re neighbors. And his niece Sutton, like every other eight year old in America, is obsessed with me.
Summer in Monhegan isn’t at all what I expect, but neither is Fisher. I haven’t quite figured out why he’s so miserable, but I’m also not volunteering what I’m running from.
All I know is the Islanders aren’t the only ones worming their way into my heart. Though, I suppose it won’t matter how I feel, if my past catches up to me. Maybe I’m destined to be nothing more than 𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙧 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚.
I wasn’t supposed to love him. I wasn’t even supposed to acknowledge him. But my entire life, I’ve had heart-eyes for my oldest brother’s former best friend, Cortland Haven.
I can’t help it that boys can be stupid, and a feud broke apart a long-time friendship and divided once-close families.
Try as I might to ignore Cort, I didn’t miss his eyes on me from across a crowded bar, twelve years ago. Oh, the way my skin tingled under his appraisal. The way my heart pattered knowing he was looking at me.
We shared more than a moment.
Now, we’re older and wiser. And with a little over a decade age gap between us, and a divide greater than that between our families, my heart still hasn’t gotten the memo.
No, that fickle organ has other plans for Cortland and me.
Especially when the silver fox is my son’s new baseball coach and I suddenly find myself assigned as his physical therapist.
I don’t just fall for the man adverse to touch, I tumble hard for him, when he should never be mine.
Wistful Whispers is an irresistible battle of the wills where surrendering to forbidden temptation could cost them everything.
I never promised forever. A good time? Absolutely. Heartbreak? Only if they got too attached.
My reputation as a quiet playboy precedes me—women talk, and my ‘talents’ follow me wherever I go. But I’ve always been upfront. No commitments. No expectations. No complications.
Marcella Delgado is nothing but complications. Brilliant. Fierce. Eight years older. And the attorney trying to take down my boss in a malpractice case. She should hate me on sight—hell, she does. But that doesn’t stop the heat between us from igniting the moment we meet.
She’s heard the stories about me firsthand, right there in the depositions. She knows exactly what I’m good at, and even though she fights it, I can see the temptation in her eyes.
One night. One line crossed. Now my future’s unraveling—and she might be the only thing I don’t want to let go.
For the first time, I want it all.
And I’ll fight like hell to be the man she can’t leave behind.
Most people think I’m a moron. In actuality, I’m a man with a plan.
It’s one of those three-year plans that takes longer than three years.
Still, I’ve been making it happen. Checking off those to-dos and turning them into to-dones.
Everything is almost lined up.
And then my phone rings.
By the time I get to Jess, she’s unconscious and bleeding.
My carefully crafted plan blows up in my face.
I tell the hospital we’re engaged. We aren’t, but apparently, in that place, you need a permission slip to see your most important, so I do what has to be done.
I toss together an epic apology salad for when she opens her eyes, and when she does…
She asks me who I am.
I’m willing to overlook the insult since, you know, head injury, but then Nurszilla spills the beans on our pending nuptials.
And just like that, my friend turns into my fiancé, and I’m not even mad at it.
How could I be? Her curves fit in my arms perfectly. Kissing her is like whoa and makes me forget I’m living a lie.
I know I have to come clean, but someone dirtier than me is stalking my final girl, and until she remembers who, it’s on me to keep her safe.
The closer we get, the guiltier I feel.
When all this is over, will she forgive me? Or will everything I’ve done cost me everything I’ve always wanted?
Desperate for a new life, Gretchen escapes her abusive ex and finds refuge in the small town of Gracemont. Her plan is simple: lay low. But when she meets Theo Storm, her sexy new boss, everything changes. Drawn into the warmth of his world, Gretchen discovers the possibility of happiness, love, and family—things she thought were out of her reach.
For Theo, it’s love at first touch. From the moment he takes Gretchen’s trembling hand, he knows he’s found someone worth fighting for. Though he senses she’s hiding something, he’s determined to help her overcome her painful past.
When old demons come knocking, Theo calls on his family to help protect the woman who’s quickly claimed his heart. The Storms are a force of nature, and they quickly step up, ready to defend their own at any cost.
Will they succeed in keeping Gretchen safe, or will her dangerous past tear her and Theo apart?
When her nose isn’t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she’s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It’s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn’t listen to her…
As a little girl, I dreamed of finding my own Prince Charming—just like in the story my mom used to read to me.
But as a woman who grew up living a life that was anything but a fairy tale, I never expected it to happen to me, and certainly not in the bordello I worked at in Las Vegas.
When our eyes locked, I knew, in another life, Liam could easily be my Prince Charming, but in my world, those kind of men didn’t exist.
He was determined to prove me wrong, though, and in one weekend, he not only showed me the world in a different light, but made me feel like a princess—before he disappeared without a trace.
After he walked away, I was determined to write my own happy ending—turns out the first chapter was becoming a single mom. Because that handsome prince… He left me the most exquisite crown jewel, who’s now my entire world.
And while I might’ve given up on finding my Prince Charming, I’ll make sure my daughter has the fairy-tale life I never did.
