Isla
I wanted to be loved by a biker with my whole heart, but all they ever took was my body.
Somewhere along the way, I stopped recognizing the woman Iโd become.
Inheriting my Nannaโs rundown house is the fresh start I need.
A life away from the club. Away from men who only ever take.
So the last thing I need is Jackal and Shade moving into the only other house on the street…and offering me more than just help with renovations.
Shade
Iโve never thought I was worth loving.
Iโm grumpy, withdrawn, and come with baggage.
Jackal saw through all that and loved me anyway. For me, he chose monogamy.
Men like me donโt get one great love, let alone two.
But Iโm looking at Isla differently now…and wondering if thereโs a way to love her without destroying what weโve built.
Jackal
I fell in love with Shade the day I met him, even though he had no intention of loving me back.
He wanted monogamy, and he was worth the sacrifice.
But now heโs looking at Isla the same way I am.
And I canโt stop imagining a life where the three of us choose each other.
Until violence hits, and we donโt know which of us is the target.
Weโve been given the kind of love you only dare to hope for.
I know I shouldnโt want her, but thatโs not stopping me from going after what I want. Jade McKay isnโt just beautiful, sheโs temptation wrapped in one delicious package. The way she looks at me. The way she makes me lose control. The way she says my name. Itโs everything. Sheโs everything. Thereโs only one problem โ sheโs my best friendโs sister and ten years younger than me. Completely off-limitsโฆand impossible to resist. Now that weโve crossed that line, thereโs no going back. Iโm not letting anyone or anything stand between us. Because Jade isnโt what I want, sheโs what I need.

From USA TODAY BESTSELLING author Xavier Neal comes a laugh-out-loud, off-limits, hockey romance!
Always a groomsmen…never a groom.
And yet, when I finally do meet the woman of my dreams – who just so happens to be older than me – it turns out, she’s completely off-limits.
And, of course, secretly dating my coach’s younger sister is the type of penalty that could completely end my career.
I guess you could say this season won’t be easy.
Especially for me, the tendy.

โจTEASER: TEST OF TIME by @harlowjamesauthor releasing April 10th! This will be a simultaneous release in Audio with the amazing narrators Aiden Snow and Ava Erickson in DUET!
Falling for the single dad next door wasnโt part of my plan when I moved to Blossom Peak.
I accepted the teaching job for a fresh start, far away from the controlling ex I left behind.
But Rhonan Hart is everything you could ask for in a man. Strong, dependable, helpful, an amazing father to his daughter, Ellisโฆ and looks beyond sinful in his sheriffโs uniform.
Except his daughter is my student, and heโs determined to pretend like our connection doesnโt exist.
(Iโm determined to pretend he didnโt see me naked when my shower blew up, and he tried to save me.)
But soon, heโs sneaking over to my house at nightโwarming my bed, tearing down his walls, and making me want something I knew I couldnโt have.
My life is a mess, one Iโm still trying to clean up.
But this man and his child give me a glimpse of a future I want, no matter what the cost.
Just when I think Iโm on the path to moving on, fate decides to give us the test of time.
Iโd almost forgotten what it felt like to smile, to laugh, and to really live. Until I met him.
Heart-stoppingly handsome.
Totally forbidden.
Keats Matthews looked at me like I was something special.
He was escaping his past. I wanted to escape my present. Together, we fell hard and fast and knew we had found forever. Or so we thought โฆ
Six years later, his shoulders are broader than I remembered, his charming smile thaws my frozen heart, and itโs so tempting to run my fingers through his hair like I did years ago. But itโs the tenderness and warmth in his brown eyes that remind me of the forever we almost shared.
Itโs magic when weโre together again. Our chemistry has only magnified. Seeing him, confident and more irresistible than ever, has me falling for him all over again and hoping for a second chance.
But he still believes our timing was off before. Heโs wrong. It was the secret I kept hidden that was our undoing. Time hasnโt healed old wounds, and not everything hidden has come to light. When it does, weโll stand together or fall apart. Either way, we must find out.
When her nose isnโt buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, sheโs in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. Itโs a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesnโt listen to herโฆ
Being betrayed by his wife was difficult enough but the person she was doing it with has not only left Knox a single father to their three children but with a strained relationship with his family. He isnโt looking to let another woman into his life however even though he and Kylie didnโt get off to the best start there is no denying that he is drawn to her in a way he never expected.
Kylie is strong, independent and because of her past wants nothing to do with the negative side of love. She was far from impressed by Knox after their first meeting but since he is a teammate and best friend of her brother staying away isnโt an option especially when every time they see each other the sparks fly.
Both Knox and Kylie bear the emotional scars of the best, but they are exactly who the other needs to heal. The heat between them is fire, their story had all the feels, the relationship they share with each other is enchanting and the relationship they share with his kids adorable. Gregory Salinas doesnโt disappoint as he allows us to experience the changes in Knox when he lets Kylie into his heart while Rose Dioro brings out the fun and sassy sides of Kylie.
This omnibus contains all three of the Marked Beneath the Moon books by Lola Glass. These spicy romances each focus on a different couple with their own happily ever after.
Book 1- The Wolf King’s Mate
I’ve been abducted by the werewolf king. Heโs deadly. Violent. Cruel. But not to me. To me, he’s almost nice. I guess it helps that I’m the only female werewolf he’s ever met. And that his wolf has decided I’m going to be his mate, whether I like it or not.
Book 2- The Wolf Prince’s Mate
I accidentally screwed the Alphaโs brotherโand not the one whose wolf is determined Iโm his mate.
Book 3- The Wolf Guard’s Mate
I hooked up with my twin sister’s brother-in-law under the full moonโฆ and ended up mated to him.
Thanks for joining me for a cocktail and some girl talk. I live the dream in my own slice of paradise where I get to enjoy colorful sunsets from my rocking chair while Iโm working. I have my very own romance hero with Mr. Rose and thereโs more than a few little rose buds running around. A couple arenโt so little anymore! We keep things interesting with cats and a dog and the critters that roam though the yard (fingers crossed the mountain lions stay away).
I returned to Huckleberry Springs to start over with my name on a bakery and my past sealed up tighter than a mason jar. I plan to run my business, keep my history to myself, and ignore handsome flirts like local distillery owner and rancher, Cruz Foster.
Cruz might make me forget how to frost a cookie, but Iโve been taken in by guys like him before. When he turns up the charm, I punch his efforts down like a first proof of sourdough.
He backs off but continues being sweet. My car dies, and heโs there. I need a ride, and heโs there. I want to tell him that I miss the whiskey flirt with the lopsided smile, and heโs there with a sizzling kiss.
The real Cruz is even better than the one he shows everyone else. I fall harder for the guy who loves his family, works hard, and shares his troubled childhood with me. A man who fixes himself is my weakness
But secrets like mine donโt stay buried in small towns. If I donโt want Cruz sinking to the bottom with me faster than blueberries in cake batter, I need to break my heart and go back to minding my own business.

Elodie has returned to her hometown to open a bakery and is determined to handle the mistakes from her past on her own despite the toll it is taking on her. She may be attracted to Cruz and appreciate his attempt to flirt with her but she will never tell him that as she isnโt about to let any man into her life.
Cruz has a difficult past of his own which has left him with some insecurities. He has had feeling for Elodie for a while however all his attempts to get close to her are rebuffed until he shows her that he wants her for much than a good time and that she can trust him with her heart and her past.
Elodieโs past has taught her to be cautious however Cruz is both patient and supportive as he shows her with actions rather than words that he is the man she didnโt know she wanted in her life. Tim Paige was the perfect choice for Cruz as he brings out both the sweet and swoony sides of Cruz while Kelsey Navarro Foster brings out all the emotions that Elodie is experiencing and the depth of her character.

๐๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ฅ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ (๐๐ ๐๐จ๐๐ค๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐ฌ๐จ๐ง ๐ ๐๐จ๐จ๐ค ๐) by Andi Burns releases on April 2nd! Check out this teaser!
BLURB: Neutral Zone is a friends-to-lovers romance featuring an unconventional hockey hero and his live-life-to-the-fullest best friend who have to get honest with each other when life gets real.
Iโve fallen in love with my best friend. I know, I know. Thatโs a terrible idea, but itโs going to be fine because we have a plan. A best friends with benefits plan.
Weโll keep spending our days and nights together. Weโll keep cheering each other on and making each other laugh. Weโll keep staying up all night in my room, watching true crime documentaries the way besties do.
But now itโs going to get steamy. Very steamy.
In order to keep our friendship intact, boundaries have been set, and as long as we donโt cross the line, everything will be fine. Seriously. Trust me. Itโs a great plan, and itโs all going to work out, and thereโs zero chance that everything will go up in flames.
Although I do have a history of accidentally lighting things on fireโฆbut really, that was just a couch. And a house. This is different. I swear.
Neutral Zone is the fourth and final book in Season Two of the Bainbridge U Hockey series, and it can be enjoyed as a standalone. If youโre a sucker for a hot mess hero with a heart of gold and a feisty heroine who isnโt afraid to fight for the man she loves, then get ready for Mickey and Viv!
One night. One secret. Nine months to fall for real.
Everett Donnelly. Hockey god. PR nightmare. And now โฆ my baby daddy.
I donโt even like sports. I only went to the game for my best friendโs birthday, and I had no idea who he was when I pulled on his jersey. He noticed me anyway.
With his name and number across my back, he decided I was hisโfor one night only.
No promises. No numbers.
Just a night of passion we both walked away from. Until the positive pregnancy test. Now Iโm chasing down a man known for his one-night stands with a career already hanging by a thread.
The last thing he needs is me โฆ or the baby growing inside me.
But neither of us saw the offer coming.
A deal that could put my life back on trackโand save his public image.
All I have to do is fake it.
Except the longer we pretend, the harder it is to ignore whatโs becoming very real.
My belly is growing. So are my feelings.
And suddenly, this arrangement is starting to feel like the most dangerous play of all.
Find out in Faking The Pucking Shot, an angsty hockey romance with all the steam and feels, featuring surprise pregnancy, forced proximity, and a possessive hero who doesn’t know how to let go.

๐ฅ Review๐ฅ Rhett is a professional hockey player who is a force to be reckoned with on ice the ice however his actions off the ice donโt always leave the best impression. He is popular and charming when it comes to women and when he meets Bea he believes that she will be no different than the woman who have come before her however he is about to realize that she is a game changer.
Bea is content with her life as she is focused on ensuring the success of the salon she has opened and has a great group of friends who are there for her. Agreeing to go to a hockey game was supposed to be a fun night however that goes sideways when the night she spent with Rhett doesnโt end there when she finds out that she is pregnant. She is prepared to do this on her own and isnโt about to accept less than what she deserves.
This is a story of growth for both Rhett and Bea who have insecurities that affect their actions which brings its own complications. The chemistry between them is intense, there are fun times as well as emotional moments as they appreciate each other for who they are scars and all.
