HOW NOT TO FALL IN LOVE

Karla Sorensen

Release Date: April 14

FREE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

A bad-boy NFL star meets his match in a feisty single mom with this sweet, steamy, and emotional novel about second chances and breaking the rules of romance.

Raising my ten-year-old son, running an animal rescue, and caring for my grandfather leaves zero time for complications, let alone cocky athletes who get under my skin. Too bad the universe didn’t get the memo.

Because a big complication just crashed into my life—literally—in the form of towering NFL quarterback Archer Evans, sentenced to community service at my shelter after a scandal. Despite his mistakes, I try not to judge. He’s got demons of his own, and even though he’s made it perfectly clear he wants me, the last thing he needs is a wary single mom seeing the vulnerable man beneath the muscles and the attitude.

Though I’ll admit, I’m tempted to look.

Not that I’d cave. With his notoriety, Archer would never make it past date two of my eight-date rule. I want simple. Safe. He’s too successful. Too arrogant. Too everything. The definition of complicated.

But as the walls around Archer start to crumble, so do mine. And this complication feels suspiciously like love.

I made the rules. Maybe it’s time I broke them.

🏈Review🏈

Remi is a struggling single mom who is trying to ensure the animal shelter she manages remains open while being there for her son Gavin and her grandfather.   The last thing she needs if for an entitled professional football player to be mandated to volunteer at the shelter due to the damage he caused after he was charged with driving under the influence. 

Archer appears to be living the dream however h has a reputation for being grumpy and closed off as the only person he allows close is his sister.   He is willing to do whatever Remi asks however the more time he spends with Remi the closer he gets to both her and her son.

I enjoyed learning the backstory of Archer which allowed us to see that there are no limits when it comes to those he cares about while Remi is doing the best she can with the challenges that life throws at her.   The banter is humorous and the way they opened up to each other was heartwarming.    Stephen Dexter and CJ Bloom bring out all the aspects of Remi and Archer’s personalities as well as the emotions they were feeling.

“I’ve got to get Julian’s booster.” I turned toward the van, sticking a hand in my purse and rummaging for my keys. “No need. I got one.” Lips pursed, I turned back to him. “Here.” He opened the back door, and sure enough, there was a booster. I strode to the door and examined it. “That’s the same.” “Yes. The same one you have. I saw it while I was at Costmart and grabbed it, figured it would be easier.” Blinking, I turned to him, my brain not quite understanding. “Got snacks too.” Julian wandered to Josh’s side. “Is Wayne coming?” Ducking, he shook his head. “He’s keeping Jasper and Vincent company while we’re gone. Since we need my truck to haul the pumpkin back, there isn’t enough room. Julian’s whole body sagged with disappointment. “But he’ll help us build our boat, don’t worry.” The truck was equipped with snacks, water, blankets, and a few extra hoodies. Well-worn hoodies that looked so cozy I wished I could slip one on now, then take it home with me. “Why do you have so many snacks?” Maggie asked. “Cause kids eat a lot,” he replied, eyeing her in the mirror. Ellie shrugged. “Accurate.” We hadn’t even driven outside town limits before they were digging in. “Mom,” Julian shouted far louder than necessary. “He has cucumbers. Cut in circles, not sticks.” I turned in my seat, and sure enough, Josh had procured cucumbers, Julian’s favorite, and had cut them with precision. “He got my crackers too.” Heart thudding, I eyed the man beside me. “How did you know which foods were Julian’s safe foods?” His focus was on the road, his fingers tapping the steering wheel. “I noticed and took a photo of the box with my phone. Didn’t want to mess it up for him.”

Lisa Suzanne has revealed the cover for Left Field!

Releasing: June 8, 2026

Cover Designer: Qamber Designs

Left Field is a spicy pro baseball, forced proximity, vacation romance from Amazon Top Ten Bestselling author Lisa Suzanne.

After accepting an offer from a luxury resort in the Bahamas, my dream of becoming a travel influencer is finally within reach. I just need one thing to make me stand out…like the pro baseball player I run into on my first night.

Archer Bradley is here for the opposite. He doesn’t want attention. He definitely doesn’t want me crashing his dinner with a smile and a camera. He’s broody and distant, but he’s also hot and charming. One night tangled in his sheets has me addicted.

When he finds out what I do, he makes me promise not to feature him. And the more time I spend with him, the easier it becomes to respect that boundary-especially as he starts to see the real me behind my camera-ready smile.

I didn’t come here to fall for some athlete, but somewhere between couples’ yoga and sunset walks on the beach, I did.

Now I have to choose between the career I’ve worked for my entire life and the love that slammed into me straight out of left field.

❤️Review❤️
After his wife passed away Joel has been focused on giving his daughters everything they need. While attending parent-teacher interviews he is drawn to Brooke, one of his daughter’s teachers, not only because of the way she makes him feel but also because of the way she relates to his daughter.

Due to her father being in the military Brooke has never settled in one place for long and she believes that this teaching assignment will be the same. She can’t deny the attraction she feels for Joel and is conflicted about his being a chaperone on the trip she is planning for her students however as events unfold there is no one she would have by her side.

This is a story about family, healing and new beginnings as Jole and Brooke were a surprise that neither saw coming but was meant to be.

Blurb:

For three years, I’ve resided in Alabaster Penitentiary. Surrounded by the same faces day in and day out, the deranged souls I now call my friends. We eat our meals together, shower together… Hell, we even fool around on occasion.

Still, after all that, not one of them truly knows me.

It’s my fault. I’m a withdrawn hoarder of secrets. A shadowman, dwelling on the sidelines, damned to this pit of despair for reasons I still can’t accept.

Being the outsider in a group of weirdos isn’t always fun. After all, if no one sees me, do I even exist?

Okay, let’s not go there.

I’m resenting my permanent sidekick status when a distraction arrives. A newcomer—tall, mysterious, and severely beautiful, with black hair and violet eyes. His abrupt arrival has my prison pals suspicious. But not me. I’m instantly intrigued by that peculiar gaze, following me like nothing has before.

He actually sees me. And it’s intoxicating.

Trevel Fenwick could be an ally. Maybe he could be… more.

My body sure seems to think so. But the brighter he lights me up, the deeper he slips into the shadows himself.

What is this striking stranger hiding behind that charming accent and penetrating stare? Why is his need to seek revenge so strong? And can we fight past our demons enough to become real partners in crime?

When a brutal storm ravages Alabaster Isle, we’re left sifting through the rubble. The fences are down. Stress cracks in the foundation, secrets escape, fragile loyalties tested. But the war is far from over…

In fact, it’s only just begun.

Ten years ago, the man I loved vanished.

I thought he abandoned me.

I survived anyway.

I built a life without Massimo Manetti. Married the wrong man. Raised my son in silence. And buried the truth so deep even I almost believed it didn’t matter.

Then my world was torn apart.

My son and husband were taken.

And the only man powerful enough to get them back is the one who never knew he was a father.

Massimo rules Las Vegas with blood and control. He’s ruthless. Possessive. Dangerous. And he’s demanding answers I’m not sure I’m ready to give.

Because saving my child means trusting the man I never stopped loving.

I won’t beg.

I won’t break.

And I won’t lose my son.

As enemies close in and old betrayals surface, I have to decide if giving Massimo the truth will save us… or destroy everything.

Merciless Sinner is a dark mafia romance featuring second-chance love, a secret baby, forced proximity, a powerful antihero, and a heroine who refuses to kneel.

* For readers who like their romance dangerous and possessive—with a hard-won HEA.

From the moment Dean laid eyes on Joanna, he knew she was it for him. He loved her with everything he was. But when life changed for them, he failed her.

She loved him and never stopped.

Not when he walked away. Nor when he came back.

She watches him transform from a nervous young man holding a baby for the first time to a man who would rather cut off his right arm than let down his baby girl.

Time ticks away, they both grow up, and life moves on. But what never changes is how they feel about one another.

Dean knows it’s time to do something to win her back and have his family all under the same roof, and it needs to be drastic.

With a scheme in play, he will stop at nothing to get his girl back.

An OTT, sexy & sweet second-chance romance read that will have you swooning.

Within hours of meeting him, I learned what it meant to be with the Sicilian Capo.
I’m a nurse. A nobody. And yet, because of him, I woke up in hell.
Somehow, I commanded Custanzu Valentini’s attention and that put me in a set of crosshairs I wasn’t meant to survive.
He called me “his kitten.” Promised me rubies and a life of ease.
But the inferno his enemies threw me in forged a lioness.
The prince of the Sicilian mafia has met his match.
Long live the House of Valentini.

The Angel is book 2 of The Salvation Duet and the final book in the Valentini Family Series.

❤️Review❤️
Although they seem like an unlikely pair there is no denying that they are meant to be. Kitty is a nurse with ties to the mafia when Stan decides to claim her as his own but being with him will challenge her in ways she didn’t expect and after the situation she found herself in after the first part of the duet she shows that she is his equal in every way.

Stan is a powerful man within the mafia and is possessive and protective of Kitty. Finding out that she is danger brings out the darker side and there is nothing he won’t do for her. Having her back is only the beginning as he must deal with not only nearly losing her but the battle that is being waged around them.

The characters of Kitty and Stan are compelling and their relationship captivating. Their story is filled with action, surprises and answers and catching up with the other characters who have drawn us in only makes this story better.

Shall We Play A Game?

Amid the suffocating embrace of night,

I stumble upon him, a beacon of light.

The Boogeyman, a seductive terror,

Whispers haunting promises, cruel and fair.

Eyes that glint with otherworldly fire,

In his grasp, I’m consumed by dark desire.

A love twisted and sickeningly sweet,

Tangled in the depths of darkness, where nightmares meet.

Should I trust my button eyes,

Or should I doubt them and follow my firefly?

TEST OF TIME

Harlow James

Release Date: April 10

Meet Harlow James:

Steamy Romance Author

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! It’s 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 I’ve built a business and hobby that I LOVE! I have an outlet that’s just for me. When I write, I’m not a mom, a wife, or a teacher…I’m 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 😉 And there are always elements of me sprinkled in to every character and story that I write.

When I’m 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 😉

Falling for the single dad next door wasn’t part of my plan when I moved to Blossom Peak.

I accepted the teaching job for a fresh start, far away from the controlling ex I left behind.

But Rhonan Hart is everything you could ask for in a man. Strong, dependable, helpful, an amazing father to his daughter, Ellis… and looks beyond sinful in his sheriff’s uniform.

Except his daughter is my student, and he’s determined to pretend like our connection doesn’t exist.

(I’m determined to pretend he didn’t see me naked when my shower blew up, and he tried to save me.)

But soon, he’s sneaking over to my house at night—warming my bed, tearing down his walls, and making me want something I knew I couldn’t have.

My life is a mess, one I’m still trying to clean up.

But this man and his child give me a glimpse of a future I want, no matter what the cost.

Just when I think I’m on the path to moving on, fate decides to give us the test of time.

I just hope this is a test we both survive.

💚Review💚
Vienna has come to Blossom Peak needing a fresh start as she tries to not only distance herself from her ex but deal with an event that left a huge hole in her life. She never expected to see Rhonan again, so finding out his daughter Ellis was her student was a surprise but finding out he is her neighbor was an even bigger surprise.

Rhonan is still feeling the loss of his wife and is a devoted single father to his daughter Ellis. Even though he didn’t know it he originally met Vienna at a club and she was the first woman to make him feel since his wife. The connection that he and Ellis feel for her was unexpected but the more they spend together the deeper the feelings become however the past is about to return with a vengeance.

The banter between them is humorous, the romance is heartwarming, the relationship that both Vienna and Rhonan share is heartwarming, and the secondary characters make this story even more special. Aiden Snow brings out the protective side of Rhonan when it comes to both his girls while Ava Erickson brings out the spunky side of Vienna even after all that she has been through.
