“Silly woman, you know exactly what we’re doing, but if I must… when a man and a woman are attracted to one another—”
“Don’t be an ass.” She pushes against my chest. Although there’s a lack of effort behind the action. “You know what I mean. We said last time was the last time.”
“No. You said the last time was the last time. Of course, you said that the time before that and the time before that…”
She rolls her eyes because she knows I’m right. This isn’t the first time my best friend’s baby sister and I have found ourselves in the dark, lip-locked, with our hands all over each other.
In a rare instance, I render the most stubborn woman I’ve ever known speechless as I trail kisses down her neck while simultaneously slipping her scarf from her body, letting it fall to my entryway floor.
“You aren’t my type,” she huffs, without any real conviction.
She glares at me as she unzips my Carhart jacket, pushing it off my shoulders until it’s on the floor with her scarf.
With a playful shove, I press her against the wall to get better access to the toggles on her winter coat. “Could have fooled me.”
She bats my hands away to work on her coat herself as she backs up her statement. “Let’s see, where do I begin? You’re arrogant.” Her coat flies open, and my hands dive inside to rid her of it as she continues. “Annoying.”
“You love it when I annoy you.” I egg her on as she fumbles for the hem of my sweater, dragging it over my head.
“In your dreams, Swift. Although, I see you aren’t gonna try to deny the arrogance.”
Before I can reply, her fingers work on my belt buckle, and she continues her list of all the things she hates about me. Her contempt, however, doesn’t stop her efforts to get me naked.
Bliss, Colorado, gave Hope McLean a second chance at life, but she’s hiding a dark secret.
Raised as brothers, James Glen and Noah Bennett always dreamed of finding a woman to share their lives on the Circle G ranch. James would run the ranch, while Noah served the town of Bliss as the resident vet. But when a woman came between the brothers, Noah fled for New York City and James was left to struggle for the ranch’s survival alone.
Now that Noah has returned, he will do anything to repay his debt to James. When he sees Hope, he knows she is the woman they both have been waiting for. But just as their love begins to bloom, a nightmare from Hope’s past returns to claim her.
To save Hope, and themselves, they will have to reclaim the brotherhood that was shattered and fight for their future.
🎧Review🎧 James and his brother Noah had always thought that they would share a woman as that is how they were raised, however instead of that happening a woman came between them and Noah left town with her. Since then James has earned quite the reputation with the ladies while staying away from the one woman he really wants Hope.
It’s been five years since Noah left town and although the woman that came between him and James is no longer a part of his life. He has regrets about the past and is nervous about returning home but knows that is where he belongs.
Both men want Hope but she has secrets from her past that refuse to stay there. If they are going to have the relationship that they all so desperately want not only will James and Noah need to reconcile their past but they will all need to work together if they are going to escape with their lives.
I really enjoyed how both Lee Samuels and Kitty Bang brought out the personalities of each of the characters as well as the relationships they shared with each other individuals and as a group.
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.

With her vampire side more or less under control, Alex Bain had finally found some happiness, especially with Finn, the charming half-fae bartender, heating things up things in the romance department. But when a desperate letter from her ex, Lucas—a warlock with a shadowy past—arrives, her fragile peace is shattered. Unable to abandon him, Alex sets off for Brazil with her bonded mated and the snarky demon Corgi, Argo, to rescue Lucas’s sister from the clutches of a ruthless vampire Master.
Through the wild and colorful streets of Sao Paolo and the lush jungles of the Brazilian countryside, the group gains new allies and faces nightmarish monsters at every twist and turn. With every step, they all grow closer; even Argo stops giving Lucas a hard time, and Alex finds herself torn between her unresolved feelings for the fire-wielder and her deepening love for Finn. Then, when a desperate escape uncovers a sinister prophecy binding the three of them, Alex must confront the true source of her growing power and passion—one darker than she ever imagined.
As unforeseen betrayals and revelations cloud the path and threaten those she loves, will Alex’s heart guide her to a new destiny, or will it lead to catastrophic consequences? Can she master the darkness within, or will it consume them all? And does a girl really have to choose?
Am I broken beyond repair, or can the two men who want me, flaws and all, help me love myself enough to give us a chance at a happily ever after?
Barely escaping my abusive ex, I find refuge in a sliver of Alaskan paradise in the tiny town of Anchor Bay. A great job, a cute cabin situated inside the poly community, and new friends — things are great, except for him.
Langston Allen. Jerk extraordinaire, never lets me have a moment’s peace and, for some reason, hates me. Tatted, grumpy and with a stalking fetish, the man pushes me at every turn, but the underlying heated tension between us confuses me as much as it does him.
Good thing he comes with his best friend with benefits, West O’Donnell. Not only is he sexy, sweet, and kind, but the man has dimples that make me melt with every shy smile flashed my way.
Still putting together the pieces of my shattered self, getting involved with the two men is a terrible decision, but the pull between us becomes too much for any of us to withstand. When my past and present collide, can I withstand the impact, or will I disappear again, this time for good?

Then the bed shifted. I felt Dylan move beside me, his weight pressing into the mattress. I assumed he was moving in to take his turn with Faye, but when I opened my eyes, he wasn’t reaching for her. He was propped up on one elbow, looking down at me. His expression was serious, his eyes darker than I’d ever seen them.
“Jase,” he whispered.
“Yeah?”
He didn’t answer with words; he just leaned in and kissed me hard.
It wasn’t tentative.
It wasn’t a question.
It was a statement.
I jerked back as if I’d been burned, my hand coming up between us to push at his chest. “What the hell, bro?”
Faye stopped. The room went silent except for our ragged breathing.
He backed away, his face flushed. He looked scared. He looked like he’d just jumped off a building with no safety net. “I … Sorry. I don’t know why I did that.”
“You kissed me,” I stated, the words flat and stupid in the air.
“I know.” He dragged a hand over his hair, his gaze dropping to the sheets. The confidence he always carried was gone.
“Don’t you dare be sorry,” Faye told Dylan, her voice soft but firm. She crawled up the bed and positioned herself between us, looking back and forth. She put a hand on Dylan’s cheek, turning his face toward hers. “You want to kiss him?” she asked, like she was asking if he wanted a glass of water.
He swallowed hard, then his eyes flicked to me for a second before going back to her. He gave one slight nod.
Faye turned to me, her hand came to my face, her thumb stroking my cheek. “Jase,” she said, her voice dropping to a murmur. “Look at him.”
I did. Dylan looked wrecked.
“He wants to kiss you, and I really, really want to see it.” She leaned closer, her lips brushing my ear. “We’re together, so why not all of us be together?”

Jennifer Sucevic has revealed the narrators for Show Me Forever
Narrated by: Jason Clarke & Mollie Stark
Releasing: March 19, 2026
From Top 30 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling Author Jennifer Sucevic comes a steamy, pro hockey romance featuring a one-night stand, surprise pregnancy, forced proximity, and a hero who falls first and harder than he ever expected.
I thought I had Oliver Van Doren all figured out. The Railers’ star forward with the charm of a devil, the discipline of a toddler, and a talent for creating messes I always get stuck cleaning up. We’re barely friends and definitely better off pretending the sexual tension humming between us isn’t combustible.
It’s the only explanation for how one moment of weakness turns into a night I can’t forget. And the worst part? I can’t stop. It’s too damn good.
Two pink lines change everything.
Suddenly I’m living with the one man who knows exactly how to get under my skin. Only Oliver isn’t who I thought he was. He’s patient. Attentive. Protective. And somehow, day by day, he makes it impossible to pretend he’s not everything I’ve been too terrified to want.
Now I can’t help wondering if what started as a mistake… Might just be the beginning of forever.
Show Me Forever is a swoony, boy-obsessed, enemies-to-lovers pro hockey romance packed with off-limits workplace tension, a one-night stand, a surprise pregnancy, and a hero who was all in from page one. It’s book three in the Chicago Railers series and can be read as a standalone.
In High School, Daphne Elliot was voted “most likely to become a romance novelist.” After spending the last decade as a corporate lawyer, she has finally embraced her destiny. Her small town steamy novels are filled with flirty banter, sexy hijinks, and lots and lots of heart.
Daphne is a coffee-drinking, hot-sauce loving introvert who spends all her free time in her garden. She lives on a small farm in New England with her husband, two kids, two dogs, twelve backyard chickens and a hive of Italian honeybees.
Nine months ago, I had one perfect, reckless night with Jasper Lawrence, the tall, tattooed firefighter who made me feel fearless. I told myself it was a mistake I’d never repeat.
Then he finds me at the Maple Festival… in labor with our surprise baby.
The best part? I had no idea I was pregnant.
Now Jasper is everywhere. The two of us stumble through new parenthood together. And he doesn’t just step up, he moves in. Almost. He pitches a tent in my backyard and sleeps outside so he’s never far away from us. He’s a shirtless, helpful menace who cooks, cleans, and cuddles our son. He makes me feel safe, seen, and wanted. And I hate how much I love it.
Every time I shove him away, he shows back up, golden retriever energy and all, with coffee and pastries in tow, ready to carry the baby, the groceries, and occasionally me.
I came to Maplewood, Vermont, to discover my independence. But it’s hard to keep my distance when the town’s been shaken by danger, the scars from my past refuse to stay buried, and the firefighter I should absolutely avoid keeps setting my world on fire.
Turns out the biggest threat to me in America’s most charming small town might be the man who won’t stop rescuing me.
Author’s Note: Sap & Secrets is a small-town romance featuring a curvy black cat, a tattooed golden retriever, and a (very cute) surprise baby. If you enjoy acts of service, small-town shenanigans, and maple syrup madness, you will not be disappointed.
Series Note: Welcome to Maplewood, Vermont. America’s Most Charming Small Town has some dark, sticky secrets. Come for the maple syrup, festivals, and cheese wars; stay for swoon.
🍂Review🍂 When Evie moved to Maplewood she had hopes that she would finally have a place to call home away from the people who should have supported and loved her but did anything but. Finding out that she was in labor was unexpected as was seeing that the man who had come to help is also the father of the baby she didn’t know she was having.
Jasper is a firefighter who has lived in Maplewood his entire life. Even though he may not have been looking for a relationship when he finds out that he is a father he is all in. He is determined to show Evie that he is the man that she and their child need one thoughtful act at a time.
This story has it all as Evie and Jasper work through the curveball they have both received which includes emotion, a few surprises, a little suspense as they not only find love but bring out the best in each other.
