🌞Review🌞
As a teenager Juliet escaped a difficult life and found a family with her boyfriend Danny and his family. Even though it was a better situation it still wasn’t ideal and it only became more complicated when Danny’s friend Luke came to spend the summer. She is in turmoil between what she was beginning to want and what others wanted for her until a life changing event turned everything upside down.

Luke is a complicated man who at times seems infuriated by her and at times is her biggest protector and wants more for her future than she can imagine. Circumstances tear them apart and years later they are brought together but will this be their second chance or is the past too much to overcome?

Luke and Juliet take us on an emotional journey of self discovery. As much as the time apart hurt both of them it allowed them to become the people they were meant to be and realize that true happiness is a gift and worth fighting for.

Falling First Hell 💚 Available Now

Title: Falling First Hell
Series: Hellman Brothers Series
Author: Marika Ray
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Cinnamon Roll Hero; Reverse Grumpy/Sunshine; Small Town
Release Date: March 30, 2023
I’m unemployed and down to my last dollar—thank you stranger who bought my coffee when my card was declined this morning. If that wasn’t bad enough, I just T-boned the truck belonging to the guy I was meeting on a first date.

Ethan Hellman, small town sweetheart with a secret, and an instant—unbelievable—love for me despite me denting his truck.
It’s not that I don’t believe in love per se. It’s just that I’ve done the calculations—it won’t happen to me. And especially not now when I’m bouncing off rock bottom with the bruises to prove it.
But Ethan doesn’t seem to care about all that. He offers me a job, a place to live…and a rock on my finger. I just have to turn my back on my career, pretend to be giddy in love, and be the face of his new company. His constant sunshine makes me grumpy. It’s also kind of addicting. So I agree to his terms and find myself living a life I don’t even recognize.
Things are going surprisingly well when someone from my past reappears offering a similar lifeline. I’ll have to make some tough decisions that just don’t compute in my logical brain.
Ethan may have fallen first, but I’m afraid I’ve fallen harder.

“These two had me basking in all the feels as they tugged at my heartstrings and tickled my funny bone. It is impossible not to laugh out loud as you read this book, but your heart is also going to wickedly ache for Andi.” -Gladys, Goodreads

Until I Get You 🏒 Release Blitz

Three years ago she ruined my life, now I’m going to ruin hers.

Until I Get You by Claire Contreras is now live! 

My reputation at Fairview University preceded me. I was the projected number-one pick in the NHL draft and the fan favorite at the rink. People wanted to be me or be with me.

Except for Lyla James Marichal.

She didn’t look at me like I was her next meal. She eyed me with disdain. 
Instead of vying for my attention, she ignored me and pushed me away. 

She was completely unattainable, and I  became obsessed with her.

When I finally got her, it felt like I was on top of the world. I was going to help the team win another championship, going into the draft, and had Lyla by my side. 

And then, without warning, she left me. 

Vanished. 

It took me three bitter, angry, long years to find her, but I did, and now she owes me a lot more than just an explanation. 

Three years ago, she ruined my life.
Now, I was going to become her worst nightmare.

🏒Review🏒
Lachlan is a skilled hockey player who has become accustomed to having anything or anyone he wants without much effort. Lyla is the exception to the rule as she wants nothing to do with him or his notoriety but with everything he says or does he overcomes her resistance. They could not be any happier until she disappears but even though she may be gone she isn’t forgotten.

Lyla has a difficult past and had some difficult choices to make. Despite her feelings for Lachlan, she had to leave but she never expected that he would reappear in her life three years later looking for the truth and determined that she wasn’t about to walk away a second time.

Everything that Lyla has been through has made her strong and resilient, but Lachlan is just as determined to protect her. The intrigue will draw you in, the characters are captivating and the compelling storyline will keep you entertained from beginning to end.

What to expect with Gorgeous Prince

🖤Mafia romance
🖤 Arranged marriage
🖤 Enemies to lovers
🖤 Anti-hero

 

BLURB:
He’s the Mafia boss’s son.
And just as ruthless as his father.

I was ten when I first heard the term arranged marriage.
From the way my cousin cried about hers, I knew it wasn’t a life I wanted.
When I turned eighteen, I learned I’d face the same fate.

Benny Marchetti is the heir to the most powerful family in New York City.
He’s ruthless, cunning, and my contracted husband.

Ten years have passed since my father broke the news, and now, the day has come.
It’s time I become his wife.
But what the Mafia prince doesn’t know is, he’s met his match.

https://geni.us/gorgeousmonster

🖤Review🖤
For the last decade Benny has been aware of who he would marry but he also believes it would be sometime in the future but he has just learnt that the time is now. He knows how he wants the marriage to unfold and that is a wife who will be obedient and satisfies him physically while remaining emotionally distant.

An arranged marriage was not the future that Neomi wanted but she also knows that the choice is not hers to make. She isn’t about to just meekly accept her fate and she isn’t about to back down from anyone or anything and that includes her new husband and the fight they are about to face.

Although this may not have been a love match there is no denying that they are each others equals in every way. The interactions between them are entertaining and the protector in Benny has met his match in his feisty wife.

BLURB

Some men are just off-limits. Like your ex-boyfriend’s father.

But when I met the sexy, powerful older man shortly after my business school graduation, he was simply the seductive stranger I wanted to notice me, and he sure did.

Fast forward a few months later, when my college ex – now a good friend – introduces me to the person he looks up to most…his father.

The man I spent that one hot night with.

I should stay far away from the commanding business mogul. But my ex and I are planning a charity fundraiser that involves late nights at his dad’s penthouse in Manhattan.

Nights where he can’t stop looking at me with desire in his eyes that matches my own.

I try to resist him, playing the good girl in the city…mostly.

He’s the perfect gentleman…until he comes knocking on my door and tells me exactly what he wants to do to me.

And I say yes.

Stealing nights with him like this is supposed to be wrong, but it feels so right. And when he saves the day to protect his son at the fundraiser, my heart wants him as much as my body does.

Can we ever be more than just a tryst?

💜Review💜
Attending the conference was supposed to be a way for Layla to market her business but once she meets once of the speakers her focus changes. The sparks fly between her and Nick and nothing is going to stand in the way of him being her first even if their very different lives may never cross again.

Nick has not forgotten the evening he spent with Layla so when fate has them both in the same city he is looking forward to reigniting the chemistry between them. The one thing he hadn’t counted on was that not only is she friends with his son but they used to be a couple and that is when the complications really begin.

Nick is conflicted between his love for his son and the undeniable feelings he has for Layla while Layla knows that he is her everything and just needs him to realize it as well. The interactions between them are humorous and hot and despite their differences there is no denying they complete each other.

An Armored Heart 💗 Dover Reveal

RC Boldt has revealed the gorgeous cover for An Armored Heart!

Releasing: May 23, 2023

Cover Design: Hang Le

Four months. That’s how long I’ll need to pretend to be Steele Cunningham’s doting girlfriend.

I agreed to this insanity only to save my restaurant. He’s doing it because he needs someone outside his “social circle” to stick it to his meddling parents and clingy ex.

Ruthless and emotionless in both his personal life and his career, Steele’s ego rivals his net worth.

Operating on joy and positivity—and a healthy bit of feistiness—I challenge him at every step.

He’s a tin man—heartless and cold. Falling for him would be a colossal mistake, because there’s no chance he’ll ever love me.

He can’t.

After all, he’s the man with an armored heart.

BLURB:

I used to believe Jacob Evans could be mine.

That was before he delivered unforgivable news rather than sweeping me off my feet.

Not that I can fault his choice.

He got the sweetest little girl out of the deal.

I took the heartbreak as a learning experience and moved on for the better.

Jake did the opposite—allowing bitterness to fill the void.

Only his daughter can pull him from the broody gloom.

Those moments are my favorite.

Not that it matters.

Jake isn’t anything to me other than a reminder of what almost was.

Besides, we couldn’t be more wrong for each other.

I’ve come to accept that.

But as it turns out, Jake hasn’t.

Wrong For You is a full length standalone romance blended with angst, heart, feel-good emotions, witty banter, and plenty of steam for an unforgettable reading experience.

❤️Review❤️
Although Harper hadn’t been with Jake very long he broke her teenage heart when he ended their relationship even if the reasons were understandable. She moved forward with her life and has recently returned to her hometown when their lives are about to collide once again when his daughter becomes her ballet student and steals her heart.

Jake knew that the feelings he had for Harper were different, but he also knew that they couldn’t be together. His mandate remains the same from the moment he found out he was about to become a father and that was to protect his daughter Sydney from hurt and that means not allowing anyone too close to them but Sydney and fate had other ideas.

Jake and Harper are both cautious as they try to protect the hearts of everyone involved but some things are meant to be and fighting it only makes you want it more. Everyone knew they belonged together, and I enjoyed seeing them realize it as well.

About the Author:

Harloe Rae is a USA Today & Amazon Top 5 best-selling author. Her passion for writing and reading has taken on a whole new meaning. Each day is an unforgettable adventure.

She’s a Minnesota gal with a serious addiction to romance. There’s nothing quite like an epic happily ever after.

Broody heroes are Harloe’s favorite to write. Her romances are swoony and emotional with plenty of heat. All of her books are available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited.

Under The Stars 💙 Cover Reveal

Laura Pavlov has revealed the gorgeous cover for Under the Stars!

Releasing: May 18, 2023

Photographer: Madison Maltby

Cover Designer: Hang Le

My new assistant is all smiles and sunshine—and she’s about to set fire to my cold, grumpy heart.

  

I’ve moved to this god-forsaken small town to run the family business.

I need to hire a new PA and the pickings are slim. 

Some say my irrational expectations are the reason I’ve gone through assistants quicker than most people refill their coffee.

Incompetence is my pet peeve.  

If that makes me irrational, so be it.

Then Georgia Reynolds walks into my office. 

Blonde hair. 

Sapphire eyes. 

And a smart mouth that irritates me as much as it turns me on. 

On top of being a rockstar at her job, she is a ray of freaking sunshine on steroids. 

I have no patience for it. 

Nor for the way she flutters around the office like a modern-day Tinkerbell. 

She has ridiculous taste in music. 

Drives an unreasonable form of transportation. 

And did I mention that I caught her dancing in my closet when I sent her on a simple errand?

My new assistant has somehow become my kryptonite.

But I am her boss, and I am not going to be a pathetic cliché. 

It doesn’t matter that my cold, jaded heart has started beating again. 

In my world, a beating heart makes you weak. 

And I do not tolerate weaknesses.

“I don’t want you over there until we sort this out.”

“Having someone inside that house is the best possible source of information. And besides, Stetson is my boyfriend.” Didn’t he see the obvious flaws in his plan? I was in an ideal situation to gather intel. Stetson likely wouldn’t notice if I made excuses to stay away, but I didn’t tell that to Keir. I was the one who heard the girl cry. I felt responsible for her, and I didn’t want to wipe my hands of her without ensuring something was being done.

Something about what I’d said struck a nerve. Keir’s vibrant blue eyes darkened until they were as fathomless as the deepest parts of the ocean. He walked me backward, trapping me between his enormous body and the wall, his face suddenly inches from mine.

“Why do you even care about any of this? You could go about your life with no skin off your back.”

I prickled at the insinuation. “I’m just a shallow sorority girl, so you’d think that’s what I’d do. Maybe I’m looking for bonus points when I apply for my membership with the Colony Club. Oh, I know! Maybe I’m doing it out of a sense of obligation derived from my obvious superiority.” Was that what he wanted to hear? That my station in life made me incapable of any depth or compassion?

“Don’t put words in my fucking mouth,” he growled.

“I didn’t have to. You might as well have put them on a billboard.”

I couldn’t breathe. He was too much. Too disorienting.

His body blocked my escape, the same way his overwhelming presence eclipsed all thought of anything else. All I could see or feel or think of was Keir.

Then his lips were on mine, his hands gripping me tightly to him. I met his kiss with an intensity that rivaled his own. We were two magnets unable to resist one another.

The sensual press of his lips, the tug of his fingers in my hair, the delicious taste of his tongue against mine—the simple act erased my identity until I was no longer Rowan. I was whoever he wanted me to be. I was free.

His hands began to roam my body, but only for a second. Not nearly long enough. He stiffened and pulled back as though only then realizing what he’d done. A heavy veil descended behind his eyes, cutting off any chance of me understanding where his thoughts had taken him.

I didn’t know what to say or do.

“Looks like staying away from the boyfriend won’t be such an imposition.” His well-placed jab deflated the balloon he’d only just filled in my chest.
