🔥And An Orgy Bed Oh My!

An impulsive witch and a buttoned-up werewolf discover love is its own beast in this spicy rom-com from USA Today bestselling author Avery Flynn.

As the eldest daughter of the magical Sherwood family, I’m supposed to have everything together. Well, joke’s on them—I, Effie Sherwood, am chaos incarnate, and you’ll never be able to guess my next move.

Like jumping on the back of Darius Aetos’ motorcycle. Not only is Darius grumpy, gruff, and hot, he’s also the head of the Aetos werewolf pack.

My spur of the moment decision has quickly become a much bigger commitment, because a pack elder is convinced this hunk of a man (or wolf, depending on the hour) is my fated mate. 

Even though I’m a witch and he’s a werewolf, we’re stuck together until we can find our way out of the tricky pack politics. But under the light of the blue moon, it’s almost starting to feel like Darius doesn’t want to stay away from me. And I’m not sure if it’s my magic going haywire or the starlit skies, but I can’t imagine leaving his arms either.

Why you need to #ONECLICK this book…

🔥Enemies to Lovers

🍂Accidental Pregnancy

🔥Small Town

🍂Acts of Service

🔥He Falls Hard

🍂Found Family

🔥Forced Proximity

🍂One Bed

🔥Grumpy x Grumpy

Rule #1: Never work with your enemy.

Rule #2: Definitely don’t sleep with him either.

Rule #3: Never get emotionally invested in your quirky small hometown.

Unfortunately, I’ve broken all three rules…

When a career-ending scandal sends me back to Maplewood, Vermont, I need to lay low and figure out my next steps. Instead, I find my hometown in crisis. The local economy is struggling, the beloved Maple Festival has been stolen by a rival town, and I’m forced to work side by side with Mayor Gabriel Harding, my childhood rival and the town’s optimistic hometown hero. 

Helping Gabe save Maplewood should be simple. I’m a political strategist. He’s a small-town mayor. Together, we’re supposed to save Maplewood.

The problem? Gabe refuses to see me as the villain I think I am. Every time I push him away, he fights harder for me, for this town, and for the future neither of us imagined. Somewhere between arguing over town budgets, getting snowed in together, and one ill-advised one-night-stand, our enemies-to-lovers rivalry turns into an unexpected pregnancy. 

Apparently, saving a small town requires public humiliation, emotional vulnerability, forced proximity … and an alarming amount of maple syrup. 

As I fight to bring the Maple Festival back to town, I uncover a dangerous corporate conspiracy, become the target of powerful enemies, and discover someone wants Maplewood to fail.

Now we’re fighting for our town, our future and the family we never saw coming.

Because falling for my enemy was never part of the plan.

Neither was becoming a family.

I’ve spent my whole life chasing eight-second rides, gold buckles, and the roar of a sold-out arena. But after watching my big brother win the PBR World Championship, I’m left wondering if the dream I’ve fought so hard for is still the one I want.

So I come home to Wildhaven for the summer, teaching at the Raintree-Storm Rodeo Academy while I figure out what comes next.

Then Marina Kincade walks back into my life.

Five years ago, we were two lonely rodeo stars sharing stolen nights with no promises. Then she disappeared without a goodbye.

Now she’s standing in Wildhaven as the academy’s new barrel racing instructor.

She’s stronger. More guarded. Just as impossible to forget. And the little boy by her side makes it clear that she had a reason to walk away.

As we get to know each other again, a ghost from Marina’s past comes looking for her.

He’s one of the fiercest rivals I’ve ever faced—determined to make sure Marina’s future belongs to him, not me.

SMALL TOWN, BIG STORM

Elise Faber

Release Date: August 10

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

I’ve taken pucks to the face…

But nothing hits harder than hearing her call me Dad.

I return to Cedar Hollow for my father’s funeral. Not for forgiveness. Not for Poppy. And definitely not for the daughter I never knew was mine.

Poppy rebuilt her life without me—and she has every reason not to trust the man who left her behind.

But the moment I meet my little girl, everything changes. Walking away isn’t an option anymore.

They can warn her about me all they want. This time, I’m not leaving.

I’ll burn this town to the ground before I lose them again.

This is book 1 in the brand-new small town hockey romance series, Home Ice Heroes, by USA Today Bestselling Author, Elise Faber.

Grab your copy!

https://geni.us/SmallTownBigStorm

🏒Review🏒

Storm was raised in Cedar Hollow however his upbringing was not happy, and he left at his first opportunity to pursue his hockey career. It’s been years since he left and it only his father’s passing that has brought him back. While there he sees Poppy, his first love, and realizes the impact his decision to leave had when he realizes that he has a daughter he knew nothing about.

Poppy was hurt when Storm left with no notice but finding out she was pregnant but without any way to contact him she had to move forward. She is a devoted single mother to her daughter Holly and runs the pub that she inherited from her uncle. Seeing Storm again brings up all the feelings of the past but can she trust him to not leave them a second time?

Learning about Storm’s past gives us and Poppy a better understanding of what he had been through and the choices that he made. Her need to be cautious is understandable and I enjoyed seeing Storm heal from the past so that he Poppy and Holly could have the happiness they all deserve.

I never planned to get married in Las Vegas.

As the billionaire CEO of Lombardi Holdings, I don’t make impulsive decisions. Each investment is intentional, and the risk is always worth the reward. I’ve spent years trusting my instincts, and they’ve never steered me wrong.

Until one unforgettable night ends with Alexandria wearing my ring.

I remember every second.

Every vow.

Every kiss.

Every whispered promise she made in my arms.

I never imagined she’d wake up believing it was all a drunken mistake. Now we’re back in Seattle, and she won’t return my calls. Alexandria avoids me at every turn, pretending the diamond on her finger and the marriage license that makes her my wife never happened.

Too bad I’m not a man who admits defeat. Alexandria’s my wife—she’s wearing my ring, and I always keep what’s mine.

❤️Review
When Alexandria agreed to go to Vegas to finalize a business deal for her boss she thought it would end there. Instead after a few drinks too many she wakes u married to Dante, a friend of her boss, and her only thought is returning home and ending their marriage and expected that Dante would feel the same.

Dante has wanted Alexandria for a while so their impromptu marriage is not something he wants to escape. Instead he is determined to show Alexandria that they were always meant to be and isn’t’ about to let her walk away without a fight.

Dante is possessive and protective, but he has met his match in the strong and independent Alexandria and he wouldn’t want it any other way. The chemistry between them is electric but it is the way he wants to support her rather than overrule her that makes him so perfect for her.

He was her first bad decision.

He never stopped wanting to be her last.

Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Hope Mazzola returns to the ice with the next installment in her Shots on Goal: MN Frosthawks series—where chemistry is dangerous, and some lines were never meant to be crossed.

Ty “Buzz” Burns was never supposed to come back into Lucy Thomas’s life.

Not after high school.

Not after the mistake that ended everything.

Because Lucy didn’t just move on—she rebuilt.

A life where reckless boys like Buzz don’t belong.

Except now he does.

Buzz plays for the Minnesota Frosthawks.

The team her father owns.

The team she works for.

The one place she can’t avoid him.

He’s still chaos on the ice—fast, loud, impossible to ignore.

But this version of him doesn’t disappear when things get hard.

He shows up.

He stays.

And the more they’re forced into the same space, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth—

This isn’t over. It never was.

Lucy has everything to lose—her career, her father’s trust, the life she’s built.

Buzz has one chance to prove he’s not the boy who broke her.

But wanting each other has never been the problem.

Walking away is.

Wild Card #13 was supposed to stay in the past.

This time, it might be the one mistake they can’t walk away from.

❄️Review❄️
Lucy fell in love with Ty when she was a teenager and was devasted when he ended their relationship before leaving to embark on his hockey career. In the years since then Lucy has moved forward with her life and never wanted to see him again however that is about to change when he joins the team that Lucy works for and that her father owns.

When Ty ended his relationship it wasn’t because he didn’t love her and it is the one thing in his life that he would like to change. Seeing Lucy again has brought up all the feelings he has always had for her and now he needs to convince her that he is not the boy who hurt her but a man who will do whatever he can to be with her.

Ty is so determined in his pursuit of Lucy, but she isn’t about to just forgive and forget. Learning what motivated their actions allowed us to understand them better and their journey is tumultuous, entertaining and well worth the ride.

#PreOrderHere  

“Wait.” Emerson holds up a hand. “Does that mean Hutch expected me to live here too?”

I grind my molars together. Acid reaches my throat and dread fills my gut.

“Yes, and . . .” The paper in Zack’s hands shakes. He draws in a fortifying breath. Brooks turns back around, and Emerson takes another step closer to the lawyer. They sense the impending doom. Zack clears his throat and wets his bottom lip. “You’d have to be married.”

Emerson barks out a laugh so loud it startles Ethel. Hillary has to put her catch down or get wacked in the face by Ethel’s wings. “That’s not happening. I’m not married, and I’m not just grabbing some guy off the street so I can have this shithole.”

Regret crosses Zack’s face, and not for the first time, I wish I could’ve talked sense into Hutch.

“You can’t just marry anyone,” Zack says weakly. “He had someone specific in mind.”

Emerson screws her face up. “Who?”

Zack flicks his gaze up to me. The poor guy has been through enough. I’ll take this one. “Me.”

He failed once. He won’t fail her.

When Hannah’s bakery is vandalized during a storm, I know one thing.

This wasn’t random.

Someone is sending a message; a warning.

I missed something once, and the consequences of that mistake haunt me every day. I won’t fail Hannah the way I failed before.

Moving into the sisters’ farm should be simple. Keep watch. Keep Hannah safe.

Keeping my hands off the curvy baker is a whole lot harder.

The more time I spend with Hannah, the harder it becomes to remember where duty ends and desire begins.

I’ll do anything to keep her safe.

Anything.

And when the danger comes for her again, they’ll learn exactly how far an obsessed ex-soldier will go to protect the woman he loves.

A Veteran’s Desire is a steamy protector romance featuring a possessive ex-military hero, a curvy baker, forced proximity, grumpy/sunshine chemistry, protective obsession, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

After he retired from his career as a Green Beret Grant has been trying to decide what comes next.   He hadn’t planned on staying in town however when a storm hits town and he believes that the damage to the bakery wasn’t caused by it he is determined to protect Hannah and find out who is behind it.

Hannah owns the bakery and the damage from the storm is a setback that is hard to manage but to find out that someone did it on purpose makes it even more difficult.   Grant has been a regular patron at the bakery, but she never expected that he would consider it his mission to protect her and that includes moving into her family home.

Both Hannah and Grant are characters who will draw you in as she will do anything for her family while Grant feels guilt about the past and it is only with Hannah’s help that he realizes he deserves to be happy as well.

Blurb:

Everyone knows falling for your best friend’s brother is a disaster waiting to happen…

Good thing I can’t stand him.

River Ashburn has all the makings of a main character — striking looks, seductive charm, and a career as modern art’s reigning prince. But to me, he’s a villain.

For the last nine years, the only passion we’ve shared is mutual loathing. As for the other tension I occasionally feel around him? That’s just my body confusing fury with foreplay. Easy to ignore.

Until a plot twist changes everything.

When I arrive for my writing residency at a secluded retreat in Northern California, the last person I expect to cross paths with is River. Now he’s derailing my dream from the other side of a paper-thin wall.

Seeing him every day is a distraction I don’t need. Listening to him shower? Torture. But the real danger of forced proximity is a truth unveiled over days and weeks: beneath our hostility is powerful chemistry.

With every shared smile, vulnerable confession, and not-so-accidental touch, the magic between us grows. So does my fear.

Writing happy endings isn’t the same as believing in them, and surrendering my heart means risking more than I can afford to lose.

Except River isn’t the villain in my story anymore.

He’s the hero.

And he’s about to steal my pen.
