Posy “Doc” Hicks has high blood pressure. All thanks to a certain hazel-eyed blonde who drives him absolutely insane in her short shorts and cowboy boots.
At first, Searcy Hodges is just a passing fancy.
A look but don’t touch kind of girl.
She has a bad attitude, an even worse bedside manner, and a chip on her shoulder the size of Texas.
It would be wise to stay away, even if that attitude of hers really does great things for him.
But how is a man supposed to stay away when her temper is just that spectacular to experience?
He’s literally watched Searcy make one of her customers cry and not care.
She’s the poster child for ‘don’t do this if you want to stay in business.’
Yet, everyone keeps coming back.
And she keeps shelling out the attitude.
He’s a grown man. He shouldn’t get as much enjoyment out of watching the woman struggle.
He should be figuring out his own life, not wanting to dig into hers.
But the moment she breaks down in his arms and asks him for help, setting aside the attitude and exposing her vulnerability, he finds it impossible to say no.
He’s a Truth Teller. A biker with a hero complex. A paramedic and a former SEAL.
It’s literally ingrained in his psyche to help, and it’s painfully obvious that Searcy could use everything he has to give.
And while he’s solving her problems, he’ll make her his along the way.
Searcy is a woman you can’t help but root for. With her mother being more focused on her current boyfriend rather than her business and her children Searcy not only manages the family diner but looks after her siblings as well. She makes quite the impression on Posy and once their paths cross there is no going back.
Posy is not only a member of the MC, but he is trying to keep the family ranch viable so that she can take it over once she finishes college. His life is already full, and romance is not part of the plan but from the moment he experiences Searcy feisty personality he can’t stay away.
Searcy and Posy are perfect for each other and the chemistry between them is intense. She is strong and independent but when she receives life changing news she knows that Searcy is the one she can count on and his protective self proves it every step of the way.

That awkward moment when the matchmaker becomes the match…
Meet Cute or Your Money Back, an all-new grumpy/sunshine, opposites attract, matchmaker romcom from USA Today bestselling author Katana Collins is now available!
I know what women want in a man and they pay me a lot of money to find it for them.
With the help of my fellow ex-special forces brothers, I opened up a matchmaking business where we use our military skills to help our clients find The One. And it turns out a little military strategy goes a long way.
I treat each new client in my matchmaking business like its own mission. And I’m proud to say that I have a one hundred percent success rate.
Or at least I did. Before Allie Larsen entered the picture.
She’s smart. She’s beautiful. She’s charming…
… and she’s impossible to please.
But when it turns out Allie has secrets she’s been keeping, she not only jeopardizes her own matchmaking mission, but she puts both our lives in danger.
Except this time, it’s not only my life at risk… it’s my heart.
When they said, “All’s fair in love and war,” I’m not sure this is what they meant.
Thatcher is the most unlikely matchmaker you would expect to find based on his previous career as a Navy SEAL, but he will do anything to honor the wife he loved and lost including this. He now finds himself with a new client and conflicted as however unexpected the matchmaker might have just met his perfect match.
Allie may have come across Thatcher by chance, but she is intrigued by the man and his business. If that isn’t enough to draw her in then there is also the opportunity that she could write a compelling story and finally start crafting the articles she wants to create and not the articles she is being forced to write.
This story manages to incorporate so many different aspects from the humorous banter to the intrigue part of the story and a romance between two people who weren’t looking for love.
From rolling after a successful parachute drop: a term to describe an individual’s buttocks. The first three points are feet, calves, and back of the thigh.
I know this because I took a hard landing, jumping out of a crashing plane on a job that should have been simple, with a woman latched to me with a jimmy rigged harness.
And that was just the beginning of the chaos. With my teammates nowhere in sight, it was way too easy to fall for this woman’s charms. To say we got dirty was a nice way of putting it.
Then the bear attacked and put us in an even more perilous position that I was unequipped to deal with after I decided to sacrifice myself to save the frustratingly beautiful woman.
So, it was no surprise when after all that, I kept in touch with her. She started writing me letters, telling me about the idiot who cheated on her. And I responded in equal kind, complaining about how my mother came for a visit, catching me with a stash of unmentionable magazines.
Did I expect her to fly out to see me? No, but I would be lying if I said she didn’t save my life.
I was pretty sure my mother wanted to send me to Catholic school for adults.
I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

When rival realtors can’t agree on a deal and get set up on a dinner date by their in-cahoots assistants, what could possibly go wrong?
Tristan Lucas is the rich silver fox, playboy with a pretty face and eyes that shouldn’t be so alluring. Not for my arch enemy, anyway. He infuriates me like nobody else on the planet. Which is why I don’t plan on him coming to the rescue when I bump into my cheating ex-husband at our high-school reunion. Somehow, my lips find his and all of a sudden he’s playing along.

Now things are all messed up, and I don’t know who I can rely on.
All I want is peace, but with danger climbing around me, seems I’m destined for the opposite.
About the Author:
S. Massery is a dark romance author who infuses all her stories with a dash of suspense. Originally from Massachusetts, she now lives in Southern California with her dog, Alice.
Before adventuring into the world of writing, she went to college in Boston and held a wide variety of jobs—including working on a dude ranch in Wyoming (a personal highlight). She has a love affair with coffee and chocolate. When S. Massery isn’t writing, she can be found devouring books, playing outside with her dog, or trying to make people smile.
Artemis has endured experiences that no one should have to and emerged stronger and more resilient from it. One threat may have been extinguished but another has surfaced that is placing not only her but everyone she cares about not only in jeopardy but uncertain who to trust.
We are introduced to three very different men in this story. Saint has been part of her life for a while however their relationship is more of antagonism than friendship. Reese has arrived but he was part of the past she is trying to overcome. While Kade may be connected to Reese but there is a lot about him that we don’t know.
The characters and the relationship between them are intriguing as they take us on a suspenseful and surprising journey that leaves us needing the next book in this series.

In her everyday life, she is a paralegal for family law writing unhappily ever afters for people every day. So in turn she spends her free time with anything that keeps her laughing including life with her kids!

Well, sixty nine if you count me, Elizabeth Sweet, Monhegan’s newest resident and retired child star.
When I first step off the boat, I’m ready to be charmed by the island that holds the sweetest memories from my childhood. A place so remote that even the pesky media won’t bother to look for me here.
What I get instead is exasperation.
“Summer people.” It’s grumbled like a curse, a growl of sorts. No one seems to want me here, least of all the grumpy sheriff who seems affronted by my mere existence.
He’s stupidly handsome, goes nowhere without his beloved golden retriever Bing, and speaks in nothing but grunts.
Unfortunately for Fisher Jones, I’m not going anywhere. In fact we’re neighbors. And his niece Sutton, like every other eight year old in America, is obsessed with me.
Summer in Monhegan isn’t at all what I expect, but neither is Fisher. I haven’t quite figured out why he’s so miserable, but I’m also not volunteering what I’m running from.
All I know is the Islanders aren’t the only ones worming their way into my heart. Though, I suppose it won’t matter how I feel, if my past catches up to me. Maybe I’m destined to be nothing more than 𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙧 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚.
☀️Review☀️ Libby has been a celebrity since she was a child however the lifestyle does take a toll. She is hoping that a trip to Monhegan will give her the anonymity she needs away from having her every decision scrutinized. Even though she may not have gotten off to the best start with Fisher, her neighbor, the same doesn’t apply to his niece Sutton.
Fisher has a preconceived notion of who Libby is but he soon realizes she isn’t a pampered princess. The caring way she is with his niece only escalates the feelings he is developing for her as she brings fun into his life and he isn’t about to let anything or anyone threaten the life they are creating.
Fisher and Libby are exactly who the other needs in their life. Their story is filled with humor, a little intrigue and so many feels that will have you loving this small town heartwarming romance.
As the magicless daughter of two elite Magic Users, I’ve always had something to prove. Which is what led me to working the dayshift as an enforcer at Eastwood River (Monster) Preserve, keeping the peace between monsters… and the real monsters.
While battling an invasive species whose numbers have exploded overnight, I make a desperate wish to be saved from certain death. For once, the gods were listening.
I wake up in the arms of an ancient, wish-granting minor god named Olan—a Brøndmand—who saves my life… and then claims me as his wife. Apparently, my broad, impulsive wish turned into a life-debt marriage contract with an eight-foot-tall shadow daddy who stares at me like I’m his next meal—and he’s definitely not hungry for food.
~Olan
When min guldklump Aurora calls for a god to save her, the gods are all too happy to wake me from centuries of slumber. The moment I see her, I know—this fierce, stubborn human is worth more than all the treasure I’ve hoarded across the ages. She is mine. To keep…and to protect.
Clusters of invasive magical creatures keep appearing throughout the Preserve—unnatural and dangerous. We put one group down, and another flares up. Something is bringing them here, something intelligent. The balance is slipping—and if we can’t stop it, everyone on the preserve, monster and human alike, could be wiped out.
The preserve, and my heart, are in jeopardy–– can I convince my reluctant wife she is the key to saving both?
Monstrous grooms and beastly brides? Don’t be afraid of falling in love… It’s super-natural!

I wasn’t supposed to love him. I wasn’t even supposed to acknowledge him. But my entire life, I’ve had heart-eyes for my oldest brother’s former best friend, Cortland Haven.
I can’t help it that boys can be stupid, and a feud broke apart a long-time friendship and divided once-close families.
Try as I might to ignore Cort, I didn’t miss his eyes on me from across a crowded bar, twelve years ago. Oh, the way my skin tingled under his appraisal. The way my heart pattered knowing he was looking at me.
We shared more than a moment.
Now, we’re older and wiser. And with a little over a decade age gap between us, and a divide greater than that between our families, my heart still hasn’t gotten the memo.
No, that fickle organ has other plans for Cortland and me.
Especially when the silver fox is my son’s new baseball coach and I suddenly find myself assigned as his physical therapist.
I don’t just fall for the man adverse to touch, I tumble hard for him, when he should never be mine.

Dayton Calloway and I wouldn’t have gotten together if it weren’t for two pink lines.
After getting divorced, Francisca Dawson is attempting to find out who she is and how she wants her life to look. One thing she knows is that there isn’t room for a man in that equation. But then she meets Dayton Calloway. A man who is charming, funny, and unbelievably gorgeous. Unable to deny their connection, she gets lost in the moment and gives into his dirty mouth and skilled hands.
Actions have consequences.
Dayton knew that he never wanted to get married or have children. His upbringing before he entered foster care showed him that. So he took all precautions to make sure that wasn’t a possibility.
But like they say nothing is ever one hundred percent.
Now, he’s picturing life as a father and coming to terms with the possibility of having everything he never knew he wanted with a woman who is not only taking up space in his life, but that empty space in his chest.
Before you go, do you take a chance and risk it all, or do you just let go and possibly miss out on the most beautiful love you’ve ever known?
That’s what Dayton and Francisca will have to figure out.
When fate delivers a roommate . . . don’t block it.
Tyler Quinn
There is a beautiful woman unexpectedly living in my house. A woman I sort of know because she’s my best friend’s little sister. Although, she’s definitely not so little anymore.

I’ve established the rules for how this is going to go, but as time passes and she opens up, I find it’s becoming harder and harder not to break them.

I can work anywhere, so when my brother suggests crashing with his best friend Tyler, I say,”Yes.” Who doesn’t love palm trees, sunshine, and an attractive roommate? Tyler is the definition of tall, dark, and handsome, but the best part is he’s also kind. He makes me feel grounded when everything else feels upside down. He makes me feel things I wasn’t expecting. I know I said no more athletes, but in those moments when his hand grazes my back or when he makes me laugh, I wonder about my plans. Maybe I should change them, maybe we should, after all, fate did lead me to his door.
