The first rule of revenge? Don’t fall for your enemy’s sister.

When I catch my girl with my hockey teammate and best friend—scratch that, ex-best friend—I’m done playing nice.

Declan betrayed me. But I have the perfect way to get even: his sister.

Juliette is sweet, bookish, gorgeous… and completely off-limits.

Fake dating her should be easy. A little wining and dining, a little harmless flirting, and I’ll get revenge on the guy who wrecked my life.

But Juliette throws me completely off my game.

Beneath her button-up shirts and wide eyes is the sexiest and most fascinating woman I’ve ever met. All good-girl by day, lacy underwear by night.

She sees right through my bad attitude… and somehow likes me anyway.

Suddenly the one thing worse than losing my best friend, would be losing her.

I’m desperate for revenge. But hurting Juliette? That’s a penalty I just can’t take…

🏒Review🏒

After being betrayed by his girlfriend and his best friend Aaron decides to deal with the emotions he is feeling by getting revenge. The only problem with his plan is that it includes causing hurt to Juliette, his best friend’s sister, as she is the only innocent party in the whole situation when he decides to begin a relationship with her and she doesn’t know why.

You can’t help but feel for Juliette who believes that she is in a relationship with her brother’s best friend who she has always had feelings for. She is a loyal friend and a good person who deserves more than the situation she finds herself in and even as Aaron develops feelings for her you know that it is only a matter of time before she learns why a relationship between them started.

Aaron knows that he has made an epic mistake, but he also doesn’t know how to fix it which prolongs the turmoil. Even knowing what brought them together you know that the feelings between them are real and will have your fingers crossed that in the end the only thing that matters is that they are together.

Sparks fly when a former bully moves in with her former victim in New York Times bestselling author Susan Stoker’s tantalizing third foray into Alpha Cove, a spicy military romance steeped in emotion.

Ex-fighter pilot Lincoln “Linc” Young is a survivor, masking his PTSD and nightmares behind a calm exterior. When his father’s death brings him back to Maine to help his mom, he never expects to cross paths with his former high school tormentor. But the woman who once made his life hell now stirs completely different emotions in Linc, and when he finds Harper in need, he impulsively offers her and her young son a place to stay.

Harper Bates thought she’d hit rock bottom after returning to her childhood home in Rockville, Maine. Then her father begins judging her every move—and worse, her son Kash, when they discover he’s being bullied at school. The last person she expects help from is Linc, the boy Harper herself had bullied years ago. Now a commanding presence who makes her and Kash feel safe, Linc inspires both a growing attraction…and lingering shame over her past actions.

Temporary cohabitation quickly turns into something more as Harper and Linc reveal intimate secrets that put them both on a path to healing. But they’re unaware someone else has a secret. And it’s about to impact the one person the couple can’t live without—Kash.

✈️Review✈️

After leaving the military Linc has returned to his hometown to be there for his mother and his family.    He is not the same man who left due to what he experienced and although he is still dealing with the aftermath he is always willing to help anyone in need.   It is because of the relationship that he has with Kash that he finds himself offering him and his mother a place to stay even though she tormented him when they were younger.

Harper has returned to her hometown to try and give her and her son the best life she can however it is not unfolding as she would have liked.   When she is offered help by the last person she would expect she can’t help but be grateful.   She regrets how she acted in the past and the life experiences that both she and Linc have add allows them to understand each other in a meaningful way.

Harper and Linc have a lot to overcome both when it comes to their pasts shared and individual pasts while Kash is such a relatable character as he deals with the challenges he is facing.   This is a heartwarming story about family, love and life with a little suspense.

Why you need to #ONECLICK this book…

🔥Enemies to Lovers

🍂Accidental Pregnancy

🔥Small Town

🍂Acts of Service

🔥He Falls Hard

🍂Found Family

🔥Forced Proximity

🍂One Bed

🔥Grumpy x Grumpy

Rule #1: Never work with your enemy.

Rule #2: Definitely don’t sleep with him either.

Rule #3: Never get emotionally invested in your quirky small hometown.

Unfortunately, I’ve broken all three rules…

When a career-ending scandal sends me back to Maplewood, Vermont, I need to lay low and figure out my next steps. Instead, I find my hometown in crisis. The local economy is struggling, the beloved Maple Festival has been stolen by a rival town, and I’m forced to work side by side with Mayor Gabriel Harding, my childhood rival and the town’s optimistic hometown hero. 

Helping Gabe save Maplewood should be simple. I’m a political strategist. He’s a small-town mayor. Together, we’re supposed to save Maplewood.

The problem? Gabe refuses to see me as the villain I think I am. Every time I push him away, he fights harder for me, for this town, and for the future neither of us imagined. Somewhere between arguing over town budgets, getting snowed in together, and one ill-advised one-night-stand, our enemies-to-lovers rivalry turns into an unexpected pregnancy. 

Apparently, saving a small town requires public humiliation, emotional vulnerability, forced proximity … and an alarming amount of maple syrup. 

As I fight to bring the Maple Festival back to town, I uncover a dangerous corporate conspiracy, become the target of powerful enemies, and discover someone wants Maplewood to fail.

Now we’re fighting for our town, our future and the family we never saw coming.

Because falling for my enemy was never part of the plan.

Neither was becoming a family.

An impulsive witch and a buttoned-up werewolf discover love is its own beast in this spicy rom-com from USA Today bestselling author Avery Flynn.

As the eldest daughter of the magical Sherwood family, I’m supposed to have everything together. Well, joke’s on them—I, Effie Sherwood, am chaos incarnate, and you’ll never be able to guess my next move.

Like jumping on the back of Darius Aetos’ motorcycle. Not only is Darius grumpy, gruff, and hot, he’s also the head of the Aetos werewolf pack.

My spur of the moment decision has quickly become a much bigger commitment, because a pack elder is convinced this hunk of a man (or wolf, depending on the hour) is my fated mate. 

Even though I’m a witch and he’s a werewolf, we’re stuck together until we can find our way out of the tricky pack politics. But under the light of the blue moon, it’s almost starting to feel like Darius doesn’t want to stay away from me. And I’m not sure if it’s my magic going haywire or the starlit skies, but I can’t imagine leaving his arms either.

Huxley Hosea was at the lowest of the lows.

Exhausted—both mentally and physically—he could barely put one foot in front of the other. Tired to the bone due to a never-ending war. He was desperate to find a new every day that didn’t revolve around getting shot at by kids that could barely hold a rifle steady. War had broken his soul, and the last thing he wanted to do was go home and pretend that he was just a normal citizen.

But then he sees her, also at her lowest of lows, for the first time, and his soul latches on. Bernice, his salvation.

He’s convinced that she’s the answer to his woes, and he develops an unhealthy attachment to her that carries over to his civilian life. For five years, he watches her. Protects her. Keeps her safe when she won’t protect herself. Hux follows her every move and hides in the shadows so she’ll never see.

Then she shows up in his town, and all bets are off.

She’s in his town now. That means his rules. His way. And no more highway.

She’s stuck, and she’ll never know it until it’s too late for her to run.

💛Review💛

After losing years with her brother when not only was he wrongly incarcerated but believed to have passed away Bernice will do whatever is necessary to be close to him even if it only makes her health conditions worse.   When she starts working at the store that Huxley’s mother owns it brings them closer, but she also has a secret that she needs to share not only with him but her brother as well.

The first time Huxley saw Bernice he was servicing his country overseas and he saw her unwavering love to her brother.   Having her move to his hometown was fate and what began as keeping an eye on her turns into so much more and he is determined to protect her from not only the danger in her past but the toxic presence in the present as well.

The banter between them is humorous, the way that Huxley looks out for Bernice is endearing and these two characters will draw you in and capture your heart.  As a side note the epilogue is both heartbreaking and inspiring and only reinforces the beautiful love they share.

HOPE

I moved to Saddle Creek for a quiet, charming life.

Instead, my smartwatch keeps summoning the new sheriff.

More often than I’d like to admit.

Sheriff Griffen Meadows is grumpy, broad-shouldered, and completely unimpressed by my apologies, my cookies, or my attempts at charm.

That’s fine. I’m not interested in him either.

Mostly.

But when a storm washes out the road and strands him in my kitchen, I discover the man determined to keep his distance isn’t nearly as immune as he pretends.

Turns out the wrong number found exactly the right man.

When an accidental misdial lands in our growly possessive hero’s inbox, sparks fly. Expect instant attraction, undeniable chemistry, and heroes that fall hard and fast. Turns out, the wrong number is the right call after all.

❤️Review

Hope has recently moved to Saddle Creek and has purchased a remote house that she is renovating. She agrees to calm her family’s concerns by purchasing a smart watch however she soon finds out that it has a mind of its own and has a habit of calling the town’s sheriff at the most inopportune times.

Needing a change from his career as a detective in Houston Griff has returned home however the need to help others is strong so he takes over for the retired sheriff. He is concerned when he gets a call to his personal line that few people know however once he sees Hope he can’t deny the feelings he has for her including his need to protect her.

Although the reasons are very different both Hope and Griff have difficult pasts however while he is like a storm cloud she is sunny day as she shows him that the past doesn’t define them or the future they could have together.

There are worse things than being stuck alone in a cabin with a hot as sin firefighter who’s good with his hands. A lot worse . . . This should be fun.

Agreeing to help Brandon Culver recover from his injury seemed harmless enough.

Sure, he’s a firefighter and Mountain Laurel Cove’s most eligible bachelor. But I’m too busy focusing on my nursing career to be distracted by a handsome face.

Unfortunately, Brandon is a lot more than a great face.

He’s steady. Dependable. He’s the kind of man who remembers the little things and shows up when it matters. His easy confidence is comforting. His quiet strength makes me feel safe. And the way he looks at me makes me question everything I thought I wanted.

But I’m in his home to care for him, not fall for him.

One tiny slip could ruin all the plans I’ve meticulously made for my life. Romance is a fool’s game and if I’m anything, I’m level-headed. Until his heated gaze and lingering touch threaten to turn the electricity between us into a five-alarm fire.

If I’m not careful, I might be the one getting burned.
