Alexandra Hale is a small town girl living with her family in Upstate New York. She routinely runs on caffeine, dry shampoo and thrives on procrastination.
A romance lover and reading enthusiast, Alexandra finally began putting pen to paper shortly after graduating college. An unobtainable dream has slowly become a reality with the love and support of her friends and family and the romance community.
She currently writes steamy, small town romance with a dash of lighthearted fun and happily ever afters that will make you swoon.
Ellison Mills was my childhood best friend, something I thought would last forever. Until she left Blackstone Falls and didn’t look back.
The rich girl, prim and proper, and way out of my league, Ellison was never meant to get caught up with a farm boy like me – but that didn’t stop us growing up.
She was wild back then, always looking for trouble – not that anyone would ever believe it.
We should have had a real chance at love. Instead, I was forced to let her go and she’ll never know why.
Ten years later, Ellison is back in town and it feels like she never left. She still makes my heart race and my blood run hot. And catching her skinny dipping or climbing through my bedroom window is only the beginning.
Being with Ellison and owning the farm are all I’ve ever wanted and now that I have her, I won’t let anything jeopardize our future.
So when her father shows up on her doorstep, I’ll do everything I can to keep the peace.
But the secret he’s keeping will shake Ellison to her core, rocking the foundation we’ve worked so hard to build.
This time, I’m way past falling. All I can do is hold on tight, and hope I can catch my girl before she hits the ground.
Zane Battled, broken, and branded by war, I came to Oakside seeking refuge, not redemption. The blast took my hearing and tossed my world into silence. Now I’m a grizzled former Navy SEAL battling with my demons and the silence of my world, until I stumble upon Carlee. Despite the years and experiences that separate us, she looks at me and sees a man, not a collection of scars and stories. But with my past and her dreams of a future, I’m not convinced I can it give to her.
Carlee Art is my refuge, my way of speaking when words fail me. Oakside is supposed to be just another step in building my dream. Helping Zane find his way back to himself wasn’t in my plans, despite the shadows that linger in his eyes, I see the possibility of a future together. Until I get the phone call that says I’m the sole guardian of my six year old niece. Now I’m thrust into a life he’s made clear he doesn’t want.
🧡Review🧡 Zane is trying to adjust to not only the end of his career as a Navy SEAL but the loss of his hearing as well. He now finds himself at Oakside where he is surrounded by other men who also find themselves facing life changing injuries. It is there where he meets Carlee who gives his life a direction he wasn’t expecting.
Carlee has always loved art so teaching art therapy at Oakside is a dream come true. When she meets Zane there is no denying the feelings they have each other even when life throws them a devastating curveball that neither saw coming.
Carlee and Zane are there for each other as she helps him adjust to the loss of hearing and he is there for her when she needs someone the most and the romance between them was enchanting.
Why you need to #ONECLICK this book… 💙Best Friend’s Daughter 🔥Single Dad 💙Age Gap 🔥Hockey Romance 💙Revenge 🔥Forbidden 💙Mysterious Baby on a doorstep
There are only a few rules I live by: enjoy life, smile as often as possible, and don’t ever let a woman come between friends.
Oh and hockey is life.
For the past forty years I’ve done an excellent job at every single one of them.
Until Millie Hall.
To be fair, I had no idea who she was that first night. Can’t say the same about the second.
Finding out that the mystery girl who turned my world upside down was the twin sister of my star left winger and my best friend’s twenty-two year old daughter is less than ideal.
Hiding our relationship from not only her father but my brothers, nearly impossible.
But my best friend makes it incredibly difficult to walk away from his daughter when he keeps thrusting her in my direction.
As a single dad, I have a whole set of new rules, but one thing remains, falling for Millie Hall would be a major puck up.
From USA Today Bestselling author, Alex Grayson, comes a dark, spicey Tarzan retelling…
I went into the wilderness in search of the person the town calls Wild Man.
Living on his own since he was a small boy, he raised himself.
When I found him, it wasn’t the experience I expected. He wasn’t what I expected.
A savage, more animal than man. Pure instinct was how he survived.
With his hand wrapped around my throat, he said only one word.
“Mine.”
Then he took me to his tree hut and wouldn’t let me go. He kept me naked and tied me to him with a rope. He was an anchor around me while I slept. He fed me by hand and forced me to bathe him.
Those are the tamer things he did. The others were much more… explicit.
I didn’t want to be there. I didn’t want his touch, although my body called me a liar.
He’s a primitive uncaged animal who claims I’m his, and he’s hellbent on getting me pregnant.
No matter how much I fight him, he’ll never let me leave. I was his and he’d do anything to keep me.
Maybe in the end, he’ll make me just as wild as him.
And it’ll be me who won’t let him go.

A brand new hockey romance from New York Times Bestselling Author Claire Contreras set in the same world as Until I Get You…
Finneas Alexander Barlow is a walking thirst trap. Tall, hot, and broody. Tousled brown hair, chiseled jaw, alluring green eyes, perfect teeth, well-groomed beard, broad shoulders, and lips good enough to bite. He’d look like a Disney prince if the prince was a broody ahole.
Four years ago, a fated meeting led to an inevitable hook-up. Just one. It’s his rule. One-time hook-ups, no information exchanges, and no repeats. I knew that even before he established his boundaries, and he kept his promise. I hadn’t seen or heard from him since.
A year ago, when tragedy struck, he came back to town and sought me out. Gone was the disarming grin and the innuendos he’d once used to make my knees go weak. Unfortunately, his ire was equally debilitating.
Now he’s back as the face of Fairview’s brand new professional hockey team and he’s looking for answers I don’t have. Finn won’t accept that, though. He’s as determined to uncover my secrets as I am to keep them.
He pushes as hard as I pull. It’s only a matter of time before the rope snaps. Now I can only hope I’m the one left standing.

🏒Review🏒 Josslyn is a star both on and off the basketball court however one night is all it would take to change her view on everything.

Even though it’s been a few years since he has seen Josslyn, he is now back in her life looking for answers. The heat between them is stronger than ever however he believes that she knows the truth about that fateful evening, and he wants to know it as well.

Or so they thought.

One hastily scrawled and signed contract on a bar napkin later, Paisley and Klein embark on a journey of tension, only one bed, and fake dating shenanigans.
Paisley’s goal is to survive the week.
Klein’s plan is to enjoy the sun, sand, and wedding cake.
But then there’s a scorching kiss to make up for that bad one in college.
And another kiss in a lighthouse during a thunderstorm. A gentle palm on Paisley’s lower back, and a reassuring hand squeeze under the table.
Everyone is convinced Klein and Paisley are the real deal, but as the week wears on, they begin to wonder if the only people they’re kidding are themselves.

Reconnecting with Klein, a man she knew from college who she shares a less than ideal past with, is a twist she had not expected especially once they agree to an arrangement that could be a win-win for both.

Biting banter is all they know. But messy feelings have a way of coming to the surface in this beachside romance from USA Today bestselling author R.S. Grey.
Paige Young and Cole Clark are polar opposites. A world traveler since birth, Paige loves to lead activities for guests at a luxury island resort in Turks and Caicos. From bingo nights to cliffside hikes, Paige is up for anything. Cole, meanwhile, prefers his number-crunching desk job. He’s the assistant director at the resort—stiff and meticulous. He’s so by the book that he keeps the book. In his desk drawer.
They’re perfectly aligned in one way, though—their ability to drive each other crazy. Every day brings a fresh battle of wits. They’re rivals, archnemeses…and they’re definitely never going to talk about that one time they kissed. Ha ha. Nope!
But when Paige finds out that Cole has been ordered to fire her on the same day a hurricane threatens their little slice of paradise, it’s clear the game is over.
At odds, in peril, and forced to shelter in place together, these two enemies might finally have to confront their true feelings. (You know, the ones hidden under all those withering looks.)

R.S. Grey is the USA Today bestselling author of over thirty novels, including seven #1 bestselling romantic comedies. She lives in Texas with her husband, two daughters, and dog.
⛱Review⛱ Paige has spent her life looking for the next adventure as she explores the world one place at a time. When she found herself at Siesta Playa it was no longer about finding the next place to explore but to find a way to stay. When you combine a dangerous weather event, her job being her jeopardy and her antagonistic relationship with Cole the sparks are going to fly.
Cole is Paige’s opposite as where she is adventurous, he believes in following the rules. Even though she may infuriate him she also intrigues him and the one thing that can’t be disputed is she makes him feel alive. When circumstances force them together, he might just find out that being with her is all the adventure he could ever need.
The banter between them was humorous and the situations they find themselves in will finally force them to face the fact that they are meant to be lovers rather than adversaries.
