💙Review💙
Rosaleigh’s life was turned upside down after she realized that her husband was not the man she thought he was. She had a great support system who were there to help her and her two daughters adjust to the changes but lately she has started to look at Nix as not just a friend but a man she wanted to spend her life with.
Nix is her best friend’s brother, and he has loved Rosaleigh since they were teenagers and he was determined to do what was right for her however her husband didn’t feel the same way. He has been the friend she needed and now the time has come to claim the woman he has always wanted and isn’t about to let anyone or anything stand in their way.
I really enjoyed the relationship that Rosaleigh had with both her husband’s parents as well as Nix and her family as they were there whenever she or her daughters needed anything. Nix was not only the man that Rosaleigh needed but the father that the girls deserved as he helps them heal from the past.

Yeah, neither has my best friend’s soon-to-be monster-in-law. Ooo, sorry, I meant mother-in-law. Nor has she heard of the term, what the bride wants, the bride gets.
With wedding planning underway and a short timeline, my best friend, Lia, has recruited me to help her battle the snarly beast that is Mrs. Beaver. Not scared at all, I accept the challenge as her man-in-waiting–aka, man of honor–and take matters into my own hands.
The only problem is, with every second we draw closer to the wedding, I’m starting to see my best girl in a different light.
She’s always been beautiful to me, but now . . . I find myself staring a touch too long. My hand lingering for one more minute. And when she’s upset? Allowing her to sleep in my bed.
And before I know what’s happening, it hits me like a ton of bricks. I’m in love with my best friend. Not just in love, but infatuated.
No one compares to her and nothing seems to distract me from that realization.
Not the girl I try to date while I help plan Lia’s wedding.
Not her angry fiancé who thinks I’m growing too close.
And not the looming deadline of her nuptials.
Which means, there’s only one thing left for me to do. Prove to Lia I’m the one she should be with instead. But with the pressure of her engagement, the stress from her soon-to-be mother-in-law, and the breath-stealing nerves running through me, I’m finding it a lot harder to claim the girl than I would like to admit.
❤️Review❤️ Lia met Breaker when they were in college and from their first meeting a friendship emerged and has only strengthened over the years. Even though Lia is now engaged it is Breaker who is her neighbor and who knows her better than anyone else. When she asked him to support her as she tried to plan a wedding that would please both herself and her domineering mother-in-law to be she never expected that it would have her re-evaluating her relationship with Breaker as well.
Breaker’s life has always centered around Lia and the time they spent together even if he never realized it. Although he may not like her fiancé he wants her to be happy but the more time he spends helping her plan the wedding forces him to realize how wrong her fiancé is for her and how right he is and now he just needs to convince her.
I really enjoyed the friendship that Lia and Breaker shared and that everyone around them realized their feelings for each other except for themselves. Seeing them come to the realization that they have always been a couple, even if it was platonic, is everything you could want and more. The narrators only make their story even better as they enhanced not only the relationship between Lia and Breaker but the relationships they had with his brothers and their wives.

I have my fresh start in a new town, this time a widow with a preteen daughter who rolls her eyes enough to make them stay that way. Too bad my past mistake is also here to greet me.
Daxon Hellman. Town a-hole. Hot young contractor hired to build my house in the woods.
It’s only when I’m face-to-face with him for the first time that I realize he’s the mystery man from two years ago. It’s a long story of too many drinks, grief that made me resort to acting out, and an encounter in the dirty bathroom of a bar. Try as I might, I can’t forget that night. And now I have a name to go with that hot body.
Daxon growls at me…I irritate him with my constant social media posting. He orders me to do things…I trample all over his ridiculous commands with a smile and a choice finger in the air. He builds my house with that tool belt slung low on his hips and my cat steals his construction plans. We fit together like rain and exposed drywall.
Between insults and hot stolen kisses, Daxon and I reach a truce: to let our bodies do the talking and keep our hearts locked down. I’m older than him, which means I’m smart enough to keep a clear head. Until I realize when it comes to love, age and common sense do not go hand in hand.
This crazy town has more surprises up its sleeve to drive us apart, which makes me think this might not be our forever home after all…
💙Review💙
Daxon is a man who likes to keep his relationships casual and although he comes across as cantankerous when it comes to those he cares about he cares deeply. He is surprised to find out that his new client was the woman he shared a steamy encounter with a few years earlier and it doesn’t take long for him to realize that one night was not enough.
Rita has recently moved to town with her daughter Ruby ready for a new beginning. What she didn’t expect was to come face to face with the man she hasn’t been able to forget or that the chemistry and connection between them would be stronger than ever.
Daxon and Rita are exactly what the other needs in their lives as they balance each other to perfection. They both have pasts to overcome and I enjoyed seeing their relationship develop as well as the relationship between Daxon and Ruby who will steal your heart.

Robbed of the family ranch that should have been his legacy, Raleigh Beaumont is a man with no roots and no purpose. When a friend drags him to Vegas, he figures he’s got nothing to lose. But after a hell of a lot of whiskey and a high stakes poker game with a beautiful stranger, he finds himself the alleged owner of a barony in Scotland.
An heiress with a crumbling heritage
When her brother’s bride disappears just days before the wedding that’s meant to save their ancestral home from the mad marriage pact that’s held their family captive for generations, Kyla McKean believes they’ve been granted a reprieve. Until she finds out about the new, single—male—owner of Lochmara and knows she’s next on the chopping block or ownership of both their estates reverts to the crown.
A modern answer to a three-hundred-year-old problem.
Raleigh’s lost his land once. He’s not about to lose it again. Not even because of some lunatic pact made centuries before he was born. Kyla’s desperate to save Ardinmuir. She agrees to marry him on one condition: They wed for one year to satisfy the pact, then get a quick and quiet divorce. There’s no stipulation against it, and they’ll both get what they want.
But this displaced Texan and his fiery bride are about to find so much more than they bargained for.
🤠Review🤠
After finding out that his family legacy has been taken from him a trip to Vegas leads to Raleigh winning a property in Scotland through a poker game. With nothing holding him in the US he ventures to his new property only to find out that if he wants to keep it he must marry.

They may have been brought together by Raleigh looking for a fresh start and Kyla wanting to protect her family’s land, but these two characters draw you in and show you that isn’t what is keeping them together.

Southern charmer Smith Layne’s ready smile and good looks remind me all too well of my late husband, so I try to keep him at arm’s length.

Smith was enchanted by Willow from their first meeting and her son was no different. Although he doesn’t know her past he has a feeling of what it entailed so when fate keeps throwing them together he is determined to show her that he is different from any man she has ever known.
Smith is so understanding and allows Willow to set the pace as he shows her with every thought and action that allowing him into her life isn’t a mistake but meant to be.

Kimberly Reese is a romantic at heart who can’t resist a great love story. A dedicated word nerd and bookworm, she published her first novel in 2017. Since then, she’s been hard at work writing more steamy stories that promise to deliver temptation to your fingertips.
She grew up in a military family and is currently avoiding the sun in Arizona. When she isn’t writing, you can catch her reading, studying, practicing the cello, traveling, resisting the urge to adopt more dogs, or spending time with family.
Last time I saw Cade Whitley, I was the curvy, nerdy girl who tutored him in math. I had an unrequited crush on the popular boy. Now he’s the CEO of the competition.
The second we meet again, we start pushing each other’s buttons. He criticizes my work ethic. I point out that he’s too full of himself. He’s infuriatingly stubborn. The only things we have in common are a love for the coffee industry and affection for his matchmaking grandmother.
While we butt heads at work events, I try not to fixate on how incredibly attractive he is.
Then he kisses me in his office, making my head spin. This is dangerous. My boss could find out. My heart could get crushed. But Cade has a way of making me forget about everything… except him.

Tempting the Neighbor, an all-new heat-filled enemies-to-lovers small-town standalone romance in the Mount Macon Series from bestselling author Ashley Munoz is live now!
Becoming a homeowner is not all it’s cracked up to be, let me tell you that right now. Especially in the dead of winter, when apparently trees can just fall in the middle of a suburban neighborhood.
Did my next-door neighbor help me remove said tree?
No, he did not…
And I asked while rocking bedhead, the world’s puffiest coat, and ugly snow boots.
So, really…he left me no choice.
I broke into his house.
While I only intended to steal a little warmth and maybe a cup of coffee, I fell victim to his jacuzzi tub.
Unfortunately for me, he returned early and that’s really when things got weird.
Instead of a cold glare or icy reply, all of which I fully expected from my disagreeable neighbor.
Finding out I am an omega in a world ruled by betas was only the beginning of my troubles…
Alphas and omegas are considered non-humans. We’re thought of as animals, some of whose traits we share. Furry ears and tails, anyone? Oh, and also mating cycles. Finding out I am an omega in a world ruled by betas was only the beginning of my troubles…
That’s right.
Not something I thought I had to worry about. See, I thought I was a beta. I thought I was human.
And then, my world is upended once again when my parents are killed by a pack of rogues. Escaping, I head to the city, and there I am captured and sent to the Golden Cage.
A Cage where omegas are kept, to be sold to an alpha pack. To the highest bidder.
I came to the city to find a gang of boys I met many years ago, to beg them for help, but instead I am being sold to an unknown pack, the choice not up to me.
What are the odds that the gang of boys I once knew, all grown-up now, would bid for me?
