PENALTY KISS

Kat Mizera

Release Date: January 26

One disastrous season. One last chance. One forbidden woman who could cost me everything.

After getting picked up in the expansion draft, I’m determined to prove I’m not the screw-up everyone thinks I am. New team, new city, fresh start—I’ve got it all mapped out.

What I didn’t plan on was Jayne, the sweet librarian who sees past my reputation and makes me want to be the man she deserves. But when I discover her father is my new coach, everything changes.

Now I’m caught between the career I’m fighting to save and the woman I can’t live without. One wrong move and I’ll lose them both—because coach made it crystal clear: his daughter is completely off-limits.

Three to Ride 🎧 Lexi Blake

Rachel Swift is a woman on the run.

A stalker sent Rachel’s world reeling. Now she’s running for her life, and Bliss, Colorado, seems like the perfect place to hide. Bliss is a strange little town, filled with artists, nudists, and the occasional conspiracy nut. It’s a good place to start over.

Max and Rye are just the men to catch her.

Horse trainer Max and Sheriff Rye gave up on their dream of finding one perfect woman to share, long ago. Rachel walks in, and they’re both in love and fighting their true natures.

A town like no other…

When Rachel’s past catches up with her, all of Bliss is in danger. Rachel knows she should run, but how can she leave behind the love she’s found with Max and Rye and the home she’s built in Bliss? With her whole town behind her, Rachel is ready to make her stand. It’s time for her to get back in the saddle and ride.

🎧Review🎧
One bad date has changed Rachel’s life as the man involved refuses to accept that she wants nothing more to do with him. Two identities later she knows how powerful this man is and isn’t sure if she will ever be able to escape. She now finds herself in Bliss trying to stay under the radar where she not only draws the attention of Max but his twin brother as well.

Max and Rye are twin brothers whose personalities couldn’t be more different. While Max is gruff, Rye is charming and they have shared women before however the last relationship did not end well. In the beginning the relationship was between Max and Rachel however when circumstances have them living together it isn’t long before Rye and Rachel develop feelings for each other however there is still the danger of her past to overcome.

Rachel is strong and feisty which makes her a great match for both Max and Rye. The chemistry between them is intense and the suspense keeps you on edge. Lee Samuels and Kitty Bang bring out the heat between the characters as well as the emotional relationship that the three of them share.

“Crap, I’m going to be late.” I rummage in my pocket and hand her my truck key. “You can take my truck.” Her eyes widen. “For real?” “Yeah.” “But your truck is a brand new RAM.” I shrug. “So?” “I wouldn’t want to dent it or anything, it’s a bit of a beast.” So am I, sweetheart.  “It’s not that hard to handle, just put it in drive and accelerate.” She bites her lip, clearly conflicted about taking my vehicle. I don’t know why. It’s a nice truck, but my motorcycle is my baby. It’s not like I’m lending her my Fat Boy.  “Thanks, Brew, that’s generous. It’s just a huge truck. I’m used to driving a tiny minivan.” “It’ll be fine. You’re overthinkin’ it. There’s plenty of room in the back for the stuff.” “I appreciate it. I can probably grab the battery on the way back from sch—” “There’s really no need. I’m headin’ that way anyway before I head out for a few days,” I lie. “In the meantime I’ll get all the shit out of the van.” “As long as it’s not too much trouble.” I level her with a gaze. Is it just me, or do her cheeks pinken slightly? “You gotta learn to accept help, Erica.” She opens her mouth, then swiftly closes it again. “Thank you.” Then, before she can stop herself, she squeezes my forearm. “It’s very kind of you to help me out.” Jesus Christ.  My dick hardens in an instant at her lightest touch. I imagine her squeezing my cock with that small palm and refrain from groaning. I nod once, moving past her to the side door. I need to get this shit moved and on my way before I do something I’ll regret.

Perfectly Paired 🎧 Lexi Blake

Waitress Tiffany Hayes knows what she wants and she wants Sebastian. Top’s grumpy sommelier calls to her in a way no man has before. She simply needs to show him that they belong together. Finding an opportunity to spend some quality time with him turns out to be the easy part. Convincing Sebastian to look beyond his damaged heart and soul is far more difficult.

A thirst he can’t deny

After losing everything he held dear, Sebastian Lowe has finally rebuilt his life and the walls around his heart. Tiffany is a sweet temptation he struggles to resist. She’s bright and complex, but he’s sure she can’t handle his dark desires. When they’re thrown together on an assignment, he can’t help himself.

A perfect pairing

As passion builds, the new lovers are both forced to face their pasts. To have a future, they must find a way to heal the wounds they thought would haunt them forever.

Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/59586503-perfectly-paired

🎧Review🎧
Sebastian is still dealing with the aftereffects of his military career and the emotional and physical toll it has taken on his body. He is a sommelier who is determined to distance himself from Tiffany, a waitress at Top, as he believes that he can’t give her what she deserves. When he finds himself paired with her for BDSM training he will no longer be able to deny his feelings for her.

Tiffany sees Sebastian as the man he is and not what he views as his shortfalls however convincing him of that is proving to be quite the challenge. She is determined to show him that he is the only man she wants and isn’t willing to accept less than she deserves from him.

The physical connection between is intense but it is the emotional connection that makes them the perfect pair. The characters are compelling, and it is always wonderful to catch up with the rest of the gang who offer humor and advice as needed. Sebastian York audio performance not only manages to bring out the very different personalities as well but the humor and emotion of the story as well.

DIVORCED FROM NUMBER 38

Elise Faber

She’s completely wrong for me.

But I’m still going to claim her as my own.

Faye St. James has only been ever my shy, reclusive next-door neighbor.

But my life is complicated. I’m on the road for half the year playing with the Grizzlies hockey organization and I have an ex-wife who puts nightmares to shame.

Clearly, I’m in no position to fall in love.

Only…my heart seems to have a different plan.

One that means never letting Faye go.

THE TEMPTATION OF TRUTH

Brit Benson

Release Date: November 14

Meet Brit Benson:

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:

Loving her will ruin my life, 

But I’m tired of living a lie.

Mabel Rossi is the heartbeat of The Hometown Heartless.

The famous drummer with fast hands, faster wit,

and a light that shines brightly even from the back of the stage.

She’s temptation in lipstick and lace, and I’m just her manager’s niece.

Married, invisible, and completely out of place.

Taking the job on tour was supposed to be a harmless adventure.

Now that I’m here, far from home and my husband,

I’m starting to remember who I was before I lost everything,

and it’s Mabel who I have to thank.

Between stolen glances and whispered truths,

She coaxes me from the darkness,

Until I can no longer hide from the lies I’ve buried under the life I don’t want.

I’m married to a man I’ve never loved.

She’s so far out of reach it hurts to even want her.

But in quiet hotel hallways and backstage corners,

I start to crave things I shouldn’t.

Even if it’s reckless. Even if it’s wrong.

Because with Mabel, I start to feel alive again.

When she touches me, the fog lifts,

And suddenly, I’m not so scared of tearing it all down just to feel the sun.

Mabel enjoys her career as a drummer and her bandmates are more like family than friends however there is still a hole in her life which Aurora seems to fill. She has a challenging past that she would like to remain where it is and the feelings she has for Aurora may be forbidden but they are also undeniable.

Aurora is a relatively new bride who is trying to adjust to her new life when she is offered the tutoring position with the band. For her it is an adventure that she will take and then return to the life she planned however meeting Mabel has her questioning the life she wants and the life she has been living.

Mabel and Aurora take us on angsty emotional journey as these two captivating characters draw you in and have you invested in seeing them find the love and happiness they both deserve. They bring out the best in each other and allow them to be who they are with no reservations.

Blurb:

Doc Hollywood meets It’s a Wonderful Life with a hint of The Santa Clause when a globetrotting toy industry mogul is stranded in this small harbor town days before Christmas.

Despite dreams to explore the world, I’ve never been anywhere other than this small harbor town. Single mom, local postmistress, and one-fourth owner of a failing auto repair shop are all the reasons I’ve remained planted where my roots began.

Hideaway Harbor is layered in love for the holidays, enticing visitors to the coastal area for a seasonal respite, so thanks to an unpredicted blizzard, it’s no surprise when a stranger plows into the town’s welcome sign.

What is a surprise is when he’s suddenly—and rather reluctantly by me—an extended-stay guest in my home thanks to no vacancies in town, some pesky matchmaking, and candy cane martinis on a Monday.

There’s something vaguely familiar about this new visitor. The combination of snow and tinsel colored hair. The well-trimmed matching beard. The laugh lines near his coal-colored eyes. How good he looks in the color red. He’s thoughtful and kind, and has a flair for the holiday season, which makes him most likely to make the top of Santa’s good guy (with a hint of bad boy) list.

After some disappointing news concerning the holidays, the hap, hap, happiest time of the year isn’t feeling so spectacular. But my houseguest’s presence builds a snowstorm of emotions in my chest, making my Christmas wish a transfer to the naughty list . . . with him.

Unfortunately, there’s a mystery behind his origins, and he has “not-staying” written all over him. With places to be before the calendar flips to December twenty-fourth, he’ll soon be gone, and I’ve encountered this heartbreaking, lump-of-coal sensation once before.

No matter how short or sweet his visit, there’s no doubt about the magic we make together, leaving me to wonder if love is the greatest adventure we take.

+ + +

Welcome to Hideaway Harbor – where Christmas charm meets small town – and six amazing authors bring you six original holiday romances steeped in heat, heart, and winter quirkiness which can be read as standalones.

Lumi has never left her hometown, and she is now facing her first Christmas without her son as he is unable to get away from work. Her life is about to take a turn when a swoony stranger is in an accident, and he finds himself staying in town and with Lumi while his car is repaired. She knows she shouldn’t let him get too close especially since even though it seems improbable he bears a striking resemblance to Santa both in appearance and mannerisms.

At first when Saint finds himself stranded in Lumi’s hometown he views it as an inconvenience as he needs to return to help his family with their toy business. After spending time with Lumi, he doesn’t want to leave but he also can’t stay so where do they go from here?

Despite their differences the connection between Lumi and Saint were undeniable and the love between them was never in doubt as they both find what was missing in their lives in each other. Erin Mallon brings out the humor and emotion while Oliver Highpoint brings out the understanding and swoony sides of Saint.

HERO UNEXPECTED

Kait Nolan

Release Date: November 14

I rebuilt my grandmother’s bakery from the ground up. Poured everything I had into making it thrive again—flour, sweat, and a whole lot of tears.

Then she died. And her will blindsided me.

If I’m not married by the time probate closes, I lose the bakery to my mother—the last person who should ever be trusted with it.

Enter Bodie Gibson.
Childhood friend turned enemy. The boy who used to bring me tea and peanut butter sandwiches…
The cop who put my little brother behind bars.

He offers me a way out: a fake marriage that keeps the bakery in my hands and our past buried where it belongs.

It’s just paperwork. A few public appearances. Nothing real.
Except he still looks at me like he sees the girl I used to be.
And when he kisses me it doesn’t feel fake at all.

In a town built on second chances, sometimes the only way forward is to rewrite the ending.

Emmaline did not have a happy childhood, but she did have her grandmother and her friendship with Bodie even though their feuding families couldn’t know about it.   After her grandmother passed away she wants to continue her tradition of the town bakery but that is placed in jeopardy when in order to inherit she must be married and the only choice is her estranged friend.

Bodie is the police chief, and he still has deep feelings for Emmaline even though she wants nothing to do with him and holds him responsible for her brother’s fate.   That doesn’t deter him as when she needs a husband he is the man for the job and hopes that it will allow them the time to not only heal from the past but realize they have a future together.

Emmaline and Bodie take us on a heartwarming journey as he supports her both when it comes to the bakery and those that mean her harm while she realizes what love and family really means.

Enemies. One night. And a second chance I never saw coming.

KACEN

I swore I’d never come back to Mustang Mountain.

But when my brother calls, I drop everything—because I owe him more than I can ever repay.

I show up for a holiday party, get guilted into a costume… and run smack into Natalie.

The girl I hurt. The one I never forgot.

She’s curvy, confident, and still looks at me like I’m the villain in her story.

She’s not wrong.

But one heated night, one mistake we both say we regret, and now I can’t stop thinking about her.

I’ve changed. I just need her to believe it.

NATALIE

Kacen is back in town.

Older. Hotter. Still infuriating.

The guy who used to tear me down in high school now wants to help me fix leaky pipes and plan Friendsgiving?

Please.

I don’t care how soft his eyes get or how sweet his apology sounds—I won’t fall for the town bad boy turned holiday handyman.

But then… I do.

I see the man behind the guilt and swagger. And I fall hard.

Until he breaks my trust all over again.

Now the small-town gossip mill is churning, secrets are unraveling, and I have to decide—can I risk my heart one more time?

❤️Review❤️

When his family imploded when he was a teenager Kacen took out his pain on Natalie and there is nothing he regrets more.    Years later he returns to town to help out his brother, but it will also force him to face Natalie and try to convince her how sorry he is.

Natalie still remembers the pain she felt after what Kacen did so when he returns she only wants to distance herself from him.   That is easier said than done when a mutual friend of theirs wants them to make peace with their past.   Giving into the chemistry between them was the easy part and now they must learn to trust each other as well.

The feelings between Natalie and Kacen are strong however when the turmoil escalates they will need their friends and family to show them that what they have is worth fighting for.
