Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.

Barrett Grant is wild AF with hips he knows how to use, and he’s also eleven years younger than me…

Gabby

Get Baked is the culmination of every dream I had as a twenty-something. A dream my ex-husband stomped like a bug beneath the tip of his expensive Italian leather shoe. When I left with nothing more than my dignity and a vintage stand mixer I found at a thrift store, all I wanted was to be happy. Promised myself I wouldn’t settle until that happened.

Years later, it’s finally happening in the small town of Broken Falls, WV. My dreams are coming true, my happiness is so close I can reach out and touch it.

But my secrets? They won’t stay buried forever. Especially where Barrett Grant is concerned.

Barrett

I messed up big time with Gabby, the hot, older, owner of Get Baked. I had no business swiping right if I wasn’t going to take our relationship and her feelings seriously. When I reacted badly to a waitress who questioned if she was my mother, I should’ve let it go.

But I didn’t, and now I can’t. Not when I miss the f*ck out of her, and lost a year off my life the night Get Baked was broken into. This time, I promise myself, I’ll give us the shot we should’ve gotten the first time.

If only she gives me a second chance.

 

Tropes Included

• small town
• blue collar
• second chance
• reverse age gap
• golden retriever hero

Barrett is book three in The Broken Falls Series: a series of interconnected standalones following a group of friends who have become family in small-town West Virginia, and the women who bring them to their knees. You do not have to read them in order, but each book builds upon the relationships of the last.

It’s been a long day, and Gabby still hasn’t texted me back. My common sense tells me I should take that for what it’s worth, but the part that really cares about Gabby wants to make sure she’s okay? It’s worried as f*ck, and I need to know. I debate on whether I want to stop when I drive by and see her car still parked in the back of Get Baked. There’s a real chance that she doesn’t want to see me, there’s an even bigger chance that I just need to make sure she’s okay. I want to set eyes on her.

Parking next to her, I get out and walk to the back door. I knock twice, waiting for her.

“Who is it?”

“It’s Barrett. I just wanna make sure you’re alright. I’ll leave if you want me to after I see how you’re doing.” I hurry those words in a rush.

The sound of her unlocking the door makes me smile. With a sigh, she opens it, staring at me. “As you can see I’m okay. It’s going to take more than what happened to bring me down. I might be a little bruised and broken, but I’ll make it through.”

“I have no doubt that you will, Gabs. I just want to make sure you’re good. You never texted me back.”

She sticks out a hip, throwing me a little bit of attitude, which I love. “I didn’t know I was required to text you back, Barrett. We broke up, remember? I wasn’t sure that after the way we left each other, either of us would want to hear from the other.”

That’s a fair assumption. “I care about you, I always have. I can’t turn that off because we’ve had some sh*t happen between us. I lost years off of my life when I saw that someone had broken into your shop, Gabby.”

“I know…”

“No you don’t. You’ll never know the fear.” I interrupt her. “I know I don’t have the right to be here, because I f*cked up what we were building.”

She interrupts me. “No, we both f*cked that up, Barrett. It wasn’t just you. That was a team effort.” She exhales loudly. “Let’s start over.”

I inhale, close my eyes, and then let the breath out slowly. “Hey girl, hey.”

She laughs, which is what I hoped she would. It lights up those eyes of hers and my stomach does a flip. “Hey.”

“So, I texted you earlier, you might not have gotten it, or you were busy. But I wanted to make sure you’re okay. There’s been some crazy sh*t happening in the neighborhood lately.” I grip the door facing to keep from reaching out and cupping her hip in my hand.

Her head dips down, before coming back up. “I did get your text, but I was busy, and then when I thought about responding, I was tired. I’m fine. The window will be replaced next week, and until then I’ve posted on social media, and Kara mentioned it in her live stream today. I’m not hurting for customers, people have been extremely supportive, and I’m sorry I didn’t respond to you.”

“It’s okay. I’ll leave now that I know you’re not hurt. I gotta take a shower anyway.” I’m dirty, and dusty, and just want to get all of that off. I love my job, but I’ll never be the type of guy who can get off work and then head out immediately afterward. All part of living that blue collar life.

“Barrett, do you wanna come in and eat something? You came all the way over here, when I know more than anything after work, you want to go home.” She pushes a piece of dark hair behind her ear. “You were worried about me, and I appreciate it. Let me at least feed you.”

Little does she know I want way more than for her to feed me, but right now I’ll take whatever she’s offering. Whatever it takes to get me the second chance I’ve wanted for months, I’m going to do. “I’d appreciate it, you don’t have to.”

“I know, and the one thing you should know about me is I don’t do things I don’t want to do.”

I grin, tilting my head back. “That’s the damn truth. What are you feeding me?”

She rolls her eyes. “I have leftover pot roast that I’m making quesadilla’s out of.”

It’s one of my f*cking favorite meals. I groan, rocking back on my heels. “It’s like you knew I’d be here.”

“Oh God c’mon in you little sh*t.”

And with those whispered words, I know that for tonight we’ll be okay.

“Why are you crying?”

Touching my cheeks, I realize they’re wet, and I shake my head.

“Elora,” he whispers, moving from his chair to squat in front of me, resting his hands on the tops of my thighs.

“I….” I cover my mouth with my fingers and sob. “Sorry.”

“Hey, what’s going on?”

“I…” Swallowing, I look at him as more tears fill my eyes, tears that are not for me, but for him, for whatever pushed him into driving across the country, for the loss of his brother, and for all the happiness he’s missed out on. “I just want you to be happy.” I hiccup, and his face gentles. “I hate the idea that you’re not, and I’ve been so selfish, dragging you with me while you have things you’re dealing with yourself.”

“Come here.” He falls to his bottom on the wood floor and pulls me down to straddle his lap. Cupping my face in his big palms, he smooths his thumbs over my cheeks. “I told you before there is nowhere else I want to be.”

“Your brother. You should b-be dealing with th-that. Not m-my… my stuff.”

“Each time you say goodbye to your mom, I force myself to do that with him, and it’s helping. It’s giving me the closure I didn’t get from his funeral.”

I bury my face in his neck and wrap my arms around his strong body.

“You’ve given me more than you realize, Elora.” He presses his lips against my ear and continues in a quiet whisper, “And one part of that is a feeling of happiness that isn’t mixed up with money or things. It’s pure and good, and everything fucking normal I didn’t know I was missing out on until you.” His arms give me a squeeze. “Tell me you get that.”

Brit Benson writes real, relatable romance. She likes outspoken, independent heroines, dirty talking, love-struck heroes, and plots that get you right in the feels.

Brit would almost always rather be reading or writing. When she’s not dreaming up her next swoony book boyfriend and fierce book bestie, she’s getting lost in someone else’s fictional world. When she’s not doing that, she’s probably marathoning a Netflix series or wandering aimlessly up and down the aisles in Homegoods, sniffing candles and touching things she’ll never buy.

Blurb:

He burned me once.

This time, I won’t be the one consumed by the flames.

Torren King is rock-and-roll’s broodiest bachelor.

Mysterious, moody, and coveted by nearly everyone.

But to me, he’s just the sad boy who set fire to my heart,

then reduced me to ashes in the desert.

For four sweltering nights, I burned for him,

and he conquered my heart one whispered lyric at a time.

But on the fifth night, he shattered me in the way only a flawless rock god can:

irreparably, and with devastating finesse.

Four years later, the last place I expect to be is sitting before him,

reading through a contact with a pen poised in my fingertips.

A favor for a favor, he says.

A US tour and a fake relationship in exchange for the answer to all my problems.

I hate him. I hate that I need him.

And what I hate the most?

He doesn’t remember me. At all.

But despite the burning chemistry between us,

the rapidly blurring lines and the suffocating attraction,
he’s still the rock star who ruined me,

and I refuse to let myself forget.

Of Heartbreak and Harmony is the second standalone in The Hometown Heartless series. It has a guaranteed HEA. It is not necessary to read Between Never and Forever before reading Of Heartbreak and Harmony.

MEANT FOR LOVE

Natasha Madison

Release Date: July 26

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

From Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Amazon Bestselling Author Natasha Madison comes new A billionaire, marriage pact, opposites attract romance.

 

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Unless you end up married!

From The This is Series and the Southern Wedding series comes Meant For Love

 

Zoey

When I first met him, I got butterflies in my stomach.

I thought it was silly and pushed it aside. Avoided him.

Besides, I was taken—unavailable. Or so I thought.

That was before he hired me to take over his company’s PR.

Now that we were working with each other, that meant he was completely off-limits.

Until one night in Vegas.

 

Nash

They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

Unless you ask the woman of your dreams to marry you while you are both drinking tequila.

And she says yes.

She thinks it’s a mistake.

She’s wrong.

Now I have ninety days to show her we’re meant for love.

 

Grab Your Copy HERE!

💍Review💍

From his first meeting with Zoey, Nash knew that what he felt for her was more intense than anything  he had felt for another woman even if she tries to avoid him.   A few years later when his company needs help with their social media he believes that Zoey is the perfect choice.   A business trip to Vegas results in an unplanned marriage and now he has 90 days for Zoey to fall in love with him.

Zoey has recently ended her relationship with her boyfriend, so the job opportunity comes at the perfect time.   A little too much fun and a little too much alcohol leads to a marriage that she didn’t believe was real.   Now she finds herself moving to California, working and living with Nash while they decide if their marriage was a mistake or destiny.

A little angst, the chemistry between them radiates off the pages and Nash is so thoughtful as all he wants is Zoe’s happiness.   It is always fun to catch up with the other members of their families as they offer sage advice and some humor along the way.    I enjoyed the audio version of this story as you could feel all the emotions from both their point of views as well as the enduring love they had for each other.

Meet Natasha Madison:

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…

Blurb:

Love doesn’t break us; it makes us whole, my nana used to say.

However, one minute, my world is set on fire, literally. The next, I am raising a six-year-old as a single mom without a clear path ahead of us. No place to live. No job. No money.

I’m returning to Sterling Falls to claim what’s mine, then there will be no looking back on this beloved small town, a place I consider a handful of sand in the hourglass of my life.

Then again, Clay Sylver has shaken up that ancient time clock. The silver fox in his forties is a bit cocky, but solid in every way that matters. He loves his siblings. He works hard. He owns an honest business. Honest, the emphasis here. He also suffers from damsel-in-distress syndrome with a savior complex for lost causes, like stray animals and down-and-out women.

And I have a secret crush on him.

When I see Clay stranded on the side of the road one dark, stormy night, I stop to offer assistance. Burning with fever, Clay is sick, and my mom-instincts kick in to give him comfort. That decision throws me off course again. While my past lurks everywhere, I find myself falling in love with Sterling Falls once more and falling harder for the man giving my son and me a safe haven.

Love is a risk, according to Clay, but he’s slowly rescuing my heart while I’m saving his.

Kimberly Readnour has revealed the gorgeous cover for Bad Ball Hitter!

Releasing: August 15, 2024

Cover Design: Daqri, Cover by Combs

Photographer: Wander Aguiar

Model: Kerry Smart

An angsty, second chance, sports romance from best-selling author Kimberly Readnour.

Can Boston Bears bad boy catcher, Drake Gunner, win back his first love?

I live my life according to a plan, even if that plan hasn’t taken off like I thought it would. It’s an even bigger punch in the gut knowing how happy my ex-girlfriend is, moving on without me. For this reason, I vow to try and make a go with this new girl I’m seeing. She isn’t Lila, but quite honestly, no one is.

Truth is, I haven’t been serious with anyone since Lila, my first girlfriend. I made the biggest mistake letting her go, and by the time I came back to find her, she had already moved on. Serves me right.

But who marries their high school sweetheart anyway?

Even if no one can come close to what Lila meant to me.

So when Boston picked up the last year of my contract with the goal of winning them a championship, I decided to play hard and find the perfect partner. I thought I found it in Miranda. She’s all about securing a future with a sports star and all the perks that come along with that, and I figured, why not? I have to move on eventually.

But then life threw me the biggest curveball.

I wake up to find Miranda’s roommate is none other than Lila, AKA, the only girl I ever loved.

You know what they say about life and plans. Now what am I going to do?

I vowed I’d never get involved with a client again. That was a lesson I thought I only had to learn once. When I’m assigned Stefan Däuchmen aka Doucheman, I realize I have a huge problem.

My number one rule is “never date someone from work” … or “a douche.” One would think because he’s an egotistical manwhore douche, I would be safe from his charm. But my new, very attractive client has me questioning if rules were made to be broken.

I have to remind myself constantly it doesn’t matter how good-looking he is. With his panty melting smile, rich chocolate eyes and washboard abs. Or his heart of gold that he hides under his douchey exterior. He’s my client and I’m not going there—again. But the more time I spend with him, the harder I fall.

I pucking hate to love him, but I can’t help it … I’m so pucking screwed.

 

🏒Review🏒

Stefan’s reputation for his off-ice activities continue to escalate and has drawn the ire of his team.   They are no longer willing to stand by and let it continue so Wren has been engaged to repair the situation  and part of her assignment is to live with him.

Wren has been burnt in the past and is determined to keep their relationship strictly professional.   That was easier when she only saw his behavior and not the reasons for it and now, they  must decide where they go from here.

We met Stefan in the previous books of this series however you are about to find out that you didn’t really know him at all.   The interactions between Wren and Stefan are both humorous and hot but there is also an emotional component as she shows him that he deserves better than the life he is living.

✨TEASER: ✨ ALONE WITH YOU by @authoralymartinez is coming August 22nd!

#PreOrderHere 

https://a.co/d/4w3zIiP

What you will find inside the pages…
🔥Spicy
🔥Enemies to Lovers
🔥Second Chance
🔥Twists & Turns you love from an Aly Martinez novel!
🔥Emotionally Gripping
🔥Romantic Thriller

From the USA TODAY bestselling author of From the Embers comes a new jaw-dropping standalone romance.

Pain trapped me in this house. Can love set me free?

Death had been chasing me my entire life. I survived the horrors of war, but it was the aftermath that truly destroyed me.

People called me a recluse, but the only time I didn’t feel like I was suffocating was inside that house.

For my daughter, I kept some semblance of normalcy by implementing a rigid routine. Once a week, I forced myself to walk to the diner at the end of the block—a ritual I despised but relied on as my last anchor to the real world.

Until the day a “Closed” sign on the door shattered my fragile existence. Worse, the new owner was the most haunting ghost from my past.

It had been years since I’d laid eyes on Gwendolyn Pierce. She hated me—and rightly so. But when a film crew arrived in town to dig into my past, she became my only ally.

With my secrets threatened, I leaned on Gwen, forging a connection neither of us could deny. But with a past as dark as ours, I feared it would eclipse any hope for a future.

I always said that when Death finally came for me, I would be ready, eager, and alone.

Always alone.

But for Gwen, maybe I could face the world again as long as it meant I could be alone—with her.

Why you will love this book…
🔥Billionaire
🔥Plus Size Love
🔥Fear of Intimacy
🔥Virgin Heroine
🔥15 Year Age Gap
🔥Alpha Male
🔥Fake Marriage
🔥Small Town Romance
🔥Slow Burn

King is a determined billionaire… posing as a professional cuddler to get close to me.

He’s the type of man who always gets what he wants, and right now, he wants me—the socially awkward, plus-size model with intimacy issues.

I’ve never had anyone hold me, hug me – or even love me – and my therapist thinks a professional cuddler will help break down the walls I’ve built to protect my heart.

I’m skeptical at best…

But King is so good at holding me together that the line between professional and personal quickly blurs, igniting a passion I’m not prepared for.

King and I might be fifteen years apart, but our connection is undeniable.

When his true identity is revealed, I feel betrayed.

Until he proposes an irresistible deal: a fake marriage. He gets what he desires, and I get what I need.

I reluctantly agree… with boundaries of course.

Now, I just have to keep reminding myself that this isn’t real.

She’s the one night stand I never forgot.

And now her dad is about to marry my mom.

It has to be some kind of cosmic joke, right? For once, I feel like I’ve got my life together—good job, great friends, a fresh start in a new place. I’ve been on my best behavior for ages. At last, everything’s coming up Javier.

Until the moment I walk into my stepdad’s house and meet his daughter.

I should say: I meet her again. Madeline and I have already met. It was one night, two years ago. A quick, casual hookup that had no right to be as mind-blowing as it was. I haven’t stopped thinking about it–or her–ever since.

But our parents are getting married, so under no circumstances should we sleep together again.

Or… again. Or one more time after that, just to get it out of our systems.

Madeline’s funny, fiery, and so gorgeous with her pink hair and nerdy tattoos that I can barely look at her without breaking into a sweat. But she has too much going on to be interested in commitment, and God knows I’m a bad boyfriend candidate.

Once the wedding’s over, we’ll be normal stepsiblings who don’t have sex with each other, and Thanksgiving won’t be awkward at all.

Right?
