Meet Walker Rose:

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 I’m working. I have my very own romance hero with Mr. Rose and there’s more than a few little rose buds running around. A couple aren’t 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).

The woman I spent one hot night with ends up being my boss’s daughter, and if I want to keep my job, I won’t touch her again.

I work with my two brothers on Hawthorne Guest Ranch. We do the behind-the-scenes stuff with the real ranch and have strict orders to stay away from the guests, the staff, and especially the boss’s daughters. I do what I’m told, but when a woman comes into the bar and says she’s passing through, well… I give her a night to remember and try not to think about how I’d like to see her again.

I do see her again. The very next day, when she’s introduced not only as Jamison Hawthorne, but our newest staff member.

I try to stay away from her, but she has a way of making a guy want more. Only I don’t have more to give her. All that’s in my name is an old mine some whiskey CEO wants to turn into his next distillery. Yet if I keep sneaking around with Jamison, I’ll lose my job and get my brothers fired too. So it’s up to me to figure out how to be more for Jamison than some whiskey cowboy.

🤠Review🤠

After attending a business meeting Iverson meets Sunny at a pub and the connection between them leads into a steamy evening.   He believes that she is only visiting so he is surprised to find out that she is his boss’s daughter and co-worker.    He knows that he needs to keep his distance as his and his brothers depend on it but some things are meant to be.

Now that she has finished school Sunny has returned to the family ranch to handle the finances.   She understands why Iverson needs to keep his distance however the chemistry between them is undeniable and choices must be made.

Sunny and Iverson were so much fun together and I enjoyed seeing them find their way to each other.    I am looking forward to the stories of Iverson’s brothers as well.

Local hero, firefighter, loner, and now grumpy landlord.
She wasn’t what he expected.
His new tenant is a walking disaster wrapped in sunshine, breaking every rule he sets and driving him insane.
Controlling her? Impossible.
Ignoring her? Even harder.
And he’s not sure he can stop it.
She’s under his skin, melting his frozen walls, and making him question everything—including his stubborn heart.

𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘆 𝗟𝗮𝘄𝘀𝗼𝗻
Roamer, IT specialist, current tenant, and golden ray of trouble.
Her new landlord is a thorn in her side with his never-ending house rules.
He’s always there when things go wrong—rescuing her with his strong arms and that sexy, smug smile. Breaking down her defenses, one gesture, one growl at a time.
They love to argue, but the chemistry between them is undeniable.
And when they give in, it’s explosive.
Can they escape the fire without getting burned?

🎧Review🎧
Jesse is a fireman who has a protective instinct even when it comes to people who annoy him. That holds true when it comes to Casey, the tenant he doesn’t want but is obligated to have. He has rules when it comes to her staying there which she is constantly breaking which creates some entertaining interactions between them.

Casey never stays anywhere for long but the house that Jesse now owns holds special memories of the time she spent there with Lou who touched Jesse’s life as well. She enjoys getting a reaction out of Jesse and isn’t about to just do what he says and once they finally acknowledge that the sparks of antagonism between them are sparks of a different nature the heat is on.

Due to their pasts neither Jesse nor Casey allow people close, and I enjoyed seeing them try to deny their feelings for each other until they realized what their pets already knew that they were meant to be together. John Lane brings out the gruff yet protective side of Jesse while Maxine Mitchell brings both the sass and insecurities of Casey.

Ever since my twin sister was murdered and I blamed my best friend, my life has been nothing but an epic downward spiral.

Once a swimmer for the most prestigious West Coast college, I never in a million years thought I’d end up here.

Abandoned. Locked up. Alone.

In a moment of weakness, I call the guy who was more of a brother to me than anything, the guy I betrayed.

Shockingly, he flies cross country to bail me out. But he isn’t alone.

In tow is his new swim coach—a whistle-blowing tyrant who makes me crave pushing every button he’s ever had and tossing his list of rules into the bottom of his coveted pool.

But I can’t because now he’s my coach too.

It’s Coach Resch and the team who hates me or a four-by-four cell.

So off to Westbrook I go to serve my sentence like the good boy I’ll never be.

Coach thinks he can handle me, but he’s never met my particular brand of wild.

Morally Black Betrothal 💜 Cover Reveal

MORALLY BLACK BETROTHAL

Nicole French

Release Date: November 14

WILL BE AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

HE DOESN’T NEED A WIFE. HE NEEDS A WEAPON.
UNFORTUNATELY, HIS SWEET FAKE FIANCEE IS ABOUT TO BECOME HIS WEAKNESS.

Brendan
They call me the Black Prince.
Heir to Blackguard Equity. First in line for the CEO crown. Ruthless, precise, untouchable—until my father decides to move the goalpost.
No wife, no CEO seat.

So I find the one woman who can play the part.
Simone Bishop. The sweet, small-town candy striper I met years ago, who sat by my father’s bedside when no one else could stand him. She’s sunshine wrapped in an apron, with flour on her hands and eyes too innocent to belong anywhere near me.
But she needs my money. I need her hand.
Four months. One shared address. Zero feelings.

Simple. Until I start wanting to mess up that perfect hair in my bed every night. Until I start wanting to keep her.

Simone
I should’ve said no.
Brendan Black is everything I’ve been taught to avoid—grumpy, bossy, and so intense it feels like my heart’s on a leash when he looks at me. But the family farm is days from foreclosure, and his offer is too good to be real: pretend to be his fiancée, live in his penthouse for four months, and walk away with enough money to save the farm twice over.

I can handle this. I can survive the way his eyes linger. The way he says my name like it’s a command. The way my pulse stutters every time we’re in the same room.

It’s all fake… until it isn’t.

Because somewhere between the first kiss in public and the first kiss in private, I stopped pretending.

And if I’m not careful, the Black Prince is going to ruin me—in the best and worst ways.

MORALLY BLACK BETROTHAL is the first standalone novel in the Morally Black Billionaires series.
Warning: May cause uncontrollable sighing, blushing, and an inability to think about anyone but Brendan Black for days. Proceed with swoon-caution.

About MERRY LITTLE KISSMAS (Coming 10/28/2025):

Wanted: A fresh shot at love for the holidays. But fake dating my brother’s grumpy best friend? He’s my new client, for Santa’s sake!

As a professional matchmaker, my biggest job this holiday season should be simple: find a date for the sexy single dad hockey playeraka my brother’s best friend—for his team’s fancy Christmas Eve gala. 

Sure Rowan’s hot as a crackling fire and spicier than a gingerbread man, but he hasn’t just sworn off romance. The Christmas hater has made a bet that I can’t find him a holidate.

What’s a matchmaker to do?

Win, of course. Even if it means fake dating the grinch myself to get him ready for the real thing.

Only…these fake dates at Christmas tree farms and hot cocoa competitions in the snowy small town of Evergreen Falls start to feel a little too real as I get to know the man behind the scowl. Somewhere between kisses under the mistletoe and a snowed-in night in his cabin curled up by the fire (where the stockings aren’t the only thing hung), I realize I’m in over my elf-loving head.

And when Rowan opens up to me at last about his painful past, I’m determined to give my brother’s best friend the holiday he deserves.

But what if the only gift I want him to unwrap this season is… me?

Tropes: Holiday romance, brother’s best friend, fake dating, grumpy/sunshine, small town, Christmas competition, matchmaker romance, workplace romance

The Temptation of Truth 🖤 Cover Reveal

THE TEMPTATION OF TRUTH

Brit Benson

Release Date: November 14

Meet Brit Benson:

Brit Benson writes real, relatable romance. She likes outspoken, independent heroines, dirty talking, love-struck heroes, and plots that get you right in the feels.

Brit would almost always rather be reading or writing. When she’s not dreaming up her next swoony book boyfriend and fierce book bestie, she’s getting lost in someone else’s fictional world. When she’s not doing that, she’s probably marathoning a Netflix series or wandering aimlessly up and down the aisles in Homegoods, sniffing candles and touching things she’ll never buy.

Blurb:

Loving her will ruin my life, 

But I’m tired of living a lie.

Mabel Rossi is the heartbeat of The Hometown Heartless.

The famous drummer with fast hands, faster wit,

and a light that shines brightly even from the back of the stage.

She’s temptation in lipstick and lace, and I’m just her manager’s niece.

Married, invisible, and completely out of place.

Taking the job on tour was supposed to be a harmless adventure.

Now that I’m here, far from home and my husband,

I’m starting to remember who I was before I lost everything,

and it’s Mabel who I have to thank.

Between stolen glances and whispered truths,

She coaxes me from the darkness,

Until I can no longer hide from the lies I’ve buried under the life I don’t want.

I’m married to a man I’ve never loved.

She’s so far out of reach it hurts to even want her.

But in quiet hotel hallways and backstage corners,

I start to crave things I shouldn’t.

Even if it’s reckless. Even if it’s wrong.

Because with Mabel, I start to feel alive again.

When she touches me, the fog lifts,

And suddenly, I’m not so scared of tearing it all down just to feel the sun.

The Dom Who Loved Me 🎧 Audio Review

🎧The Dom Who Loved Me

A routine mission…

Sean Taggart is hunting a deadly terrorist, and his only lead is the lovely Grace Hawthorne. She’s the executive assistant for an employment agency Sean suspects is a front for illegal activities. To get the truth, he is going to have to get very close to Grace, a task he is all too eager to undertake when he discovers her deliciously submissive nature.

…turns into a dangerous seduction.

Soon, Grace Hawthorne is living a double life. By day, she is the widowed mother of two college-aged sons. By night, she submits to Sean’s every dark desire. She’s living out her wildest fantasies of pleasure—intimate acts of trust she’s only read about. As passion engulfs her, a murderer strikes, and Grace learns that Sean has a deeply hidden agenda. Will Sean choose his mission and break her heart or be the Master of her dreams?

Amazon audio: https://www.amazon.com/The-Dom-Who-Loved-Me-audiobook/dp/B00QXWDOHU/ref=sr_1_1?

Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40691561-the-dom-who-loved-me

🎧Review
From the moment that Sean saw Grace he was intrigued by woman who seemed to hide her sensual side under her business demeanor. He has been tasked with investigating the company where Grace works and determining who is responsible and that includes her. Finding out she wants to learn the submissive lifestyle only makes him want her more however there is a lot to overcome including the truth about who he is.

Grace is a widower who has two sons in college. She may be attracted to Sean and even though he is fulfilling her every fantasy she also knows that she must protect her heart as she isn’t sure why a younger man like Sean would be interested in her.

The suspense keeps you on edge, the surprises keep coming, the characters draw you in, the banter is humorous and the heat between them intense. The audio performance by Ryan West manages to bring all the characters as well as the story to life.

“You need a husband to get the house of your dreams?”
She nodded, and her gaze strayed to the window like she was imagining working in the home that could be hers if she had a wedding ring. “It probably needs some work. Linda’s been renting it, and the current tenants are out at the end of May. She said the place could use some updating, and I don’t have the time or the funds.”
She needed a husband and a contractor. I needed a proofreader and a project that could really get my name out there. The Perez house was a gem in Coal Haven. If I could tie my name to those renovations…
No. That was crazy.
Or it was the leap I needed to finally secure the job that would give me the stability and flexibility I needed to be a single dad to my son. “I have an idea.”
