Vivian only has one big regret in life–and a million little ones if you count all the calories she didn’t consume while she was living with the guy who dumped her. But Vivian is glad she moved to Portland with her ex. She’s glad he left her for someone who lives in the city she moved from, because she can now eat her feelings and those feelings taste like wine, tacos, pastries, and gourmet ice cream.
She’s even happy when her newly-engaged sister informs her that she’s hired the toughest personal trainer in town to whip Vivian back into shape for her wedding, because it finally brings her face-to-face with that one big regret—her former best friend from high school.
Brad Mitchell, who claimed she broke his heart and disappeared after they graduated. Who never replied to all those emails about how much she regretted hurting him. The once-chubby, grumpy nerd who was the other person in their two-member book club. The one who now looks infuriatingly hot in a compression tank top and sweatpants.
Brad goes by Mitch these days. He has the same wry sense of humor, a lot of exciting new muscles, and one aggravating, old grudge. But as he puts Vivian through resistance training that tests his own stubborn resolve too, their old spark refuses to die—it just keeps doing more reps.
And those long-ignored emails sitting in Brad’s archived inbox folder? They just might take these former best friends from enemies to lovers and give them the second chance they deserve—if he ever reads them.

🧘‍♀️Review🧘‍♀️

When her boyfriend ended their relationship even after she pushed her plans for the future aside so that he could follow his dreams Vivian doesn’t handle it well.   When her sister advises that she is getting married and that they both will be in their wedding she is convinced to get herself back in shape to show him that she is so much better without him.

Mitch has been hired to be Vivian’s trainer however he is determined to keep their relationship strictly professional.   She was his best friend when he was a teenager until she wasn’t and he hasn’t spoken to her since, and he isn’t about to just forgive and forget despite all the feelings he has always had for her that haven’t diminished over time.

Both Vivian and Mitch are relatable characters, and you can understand all the emotions that they are both feeling.    The interactions between them are humorous as well as the situations they find themselves in as they realized that they were always destined to be more than friends.

Finding a toddler on my doorstep? Not exactly how I planned for the day to go.

 

Zara Thompson has loved sexy, ex-Marine Garrett Carson since college—but he was in love with her best friend. For the past twelve years, Zara has kept her secret and her heart guarded.

 

Then a woman shows up on Garrett’s doorstep with a toddler and a shocking claim: the little girl is his daughter, and her mother—Zara’s former best friend—is dead, killed in a tragic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

 

Now, Garrett is juggling fatherhood, a looming book deadline, a frightened toddler who won’t go near him, and a live-in nanny who refuses to warm up to Zara—especially after she witnesses an unexpected and steamy kiss between Zara and Garrett.

 

A steamy kiss that sends their close friendship into a tailspin…

 

But as Zara focuses on expanding her small-town café and helping Garrett be a father, a mix of circumstances beyond her control and buried secrets conspire against her…threatening Zara’s chance at a happily ever after with the man her heart refuses to give up on.

❤️Review❤️

Zara has been friends with Garrett since they were children however before she gathered the strength to tell him how she felt he began a relationship with her friend Kendra, so she never told him how she felt.   She has moved forward with her life and is focused on her career but when Garrett finds out he is a father she doesn’t hesitate to be there for him to help with the transition.

After leaving the Marines Garrett returned home and is now an accomplished author whose book is about to be turned into a screenplay.   Having a woman suddenly appearing in his life advising him that Peony is his daughter and that she is his nanny turns his world upside down especially when there are so many questions surrounding Kendra’s death.

This is a heartwarming story about two people who have always belonged together, but life got in the way.    During the story they are both going through a tumultuous time which only reinforces that as long as they are together they can overcome anything.

SIRE is my gift from God, and the Devil’s son. He saved my innocence from being sold.
And now, he must take it.
I insist.
I don’t care how young I am or how he resists me.

He’s a captivating pastor and a predator when he leaves the pulpit.
An escaped Russian Bratva prince, he and his brothers avenge the crimes of their father.
He’s the oldest and deadliest of his brothers.
The darkest angel.

But Sire gave his flesh for mine, and now I’m his.
When his evil father comes for him and my wicked captors come for me, I know he can protect me.
He’s brutal, blood thirsty, and beautiful.
He’ll be my first, my forever, my sacred sinner.

And I will be his young queen.
I want the kings, his brothers, to initiate me. They will protect me, too.
I crave their taboo rituals. Our bonds cannot be broken.
His secret family will be mine.

Damned and divine, our forbidden love will be stronger than any evil.
Evil that is coming for us.

Author’s note: SIRE is a dark, not-mafia-mafia romance set in a world of taboo traditions, biting banter, morally grey heroes in a vigilante band of brothers with some heavy themes, and very explicit scenes. This is an interconnected, standalone—the third in the Belles & Bratva Beasts series—with a guaranteed HEA.

Fletcher Adams is not just the man that stole my heart at fifteen and never gave it back.

He’s also my brother’s best friend, and now one of the most famous players in the NFL.

But now he’s back in Blossom Peak for our mutual friend’s wedding, and guess who are the maid of honor and best man?

That would be us.

I’ve spent the past twelve years ignoring what happened between us that fateful night, and avoiding him as much as possible when he did pop into town to visit.

But now he’s everywhere.

In my salon getting a massage to support my business.

Participating in yoga to support my family’s winery.

And even hacking into my phone to monitor my glucose—which makes me furious and also a little bit weak in the knees.

Then he finds out that my ex-fiancé never satisfied me in the bedroom, so he instantly volunteers for the job.

Turns out time couldn’t snuff the flames that still burned between us.

But Fletcher has demons from his past he hasn’t faced, the kind that you can try to bury but always manage to get washed up in a storm.

And this storm just might destroy us both.

There’s one thing we can’t deny however, even though we try—feelings still matter, even after all this time.

He’s lost all control, and only she can soothe his savage beast, until the day she decides to give up that power.

Mik Volkov used to be the Wolf Tzar, now he doesn’t even know who or what he is.

He can’t shift from his wolf form, and the beast rules his mind, looking for vengeance and violence.

The only thing keeping him sane is his obsession with the woman who smells like ripe peaches and lust.

Key Cross always thought it would be fun to be a psychic, until a wolf bit her and she was cursed with visions she can’t control. She wants nothing to do with shifters, until a grumpy wolf who shifts into a hot, naked man whenever she touches him, comes marking his territory by peeing a circle around her.

She belongs to no man or wolf, but they both have a chance to break their curses, and live a normal, boring life again, if they can work together to do the bidding of the Goddess of the Moon. She seems to be doing her very best to play matchmaker with their hearts.

And then came the dragons…

Excerpt:
“Enjoying your boring plain black coffee?” she asks, gifting me with a smile before she takes a sip of her frothy one.
“It’s delicious,” I tell her as we approach the library. “Want a sip?”
She scrunches her nose up, and it’s cute as fuck. “No, thank you. I’ll stick with my white chocolate cinnamon latte. It’s so yummy. In fact, maybe you should try it.”
She’s swirling her straw in her whipped cream, and I fake a shudder. “Not happening,” I say, leaning my back against the stone exterior and pulling Bridgette close.
“Are you judging my whipped cream? Casting doubt on this most glorious of condiments?”
“It’s not a condiment,” I correct, determined to set this wayward beauty straight. “It’s weird. It’s like milky air. Who wants to taste that?”
“People who like putting delicious things in their mouths,” she retorts. It takes a second for her cheeks to turn pink as she realizes what she just said.
“Really? Tell me more,” I tease, because I’m a filthy bastard like that. Studying with a hard-on isn’t ideal, but I’ve done it several times in the past week and lived to tell the tale, so I’ll survive this, too.
She thinks she’s being slick when she swipes a manicured finger into the pile of whipped cream that tops her drink, and then extends that finger in my direction. I catch her hand easily and turn it back on her, causing a smear of whipped cream to land on her pouty lips.
“Oops,” I say, no trace of contrition in my tone. She looks so damn cute that I can’t help but lean in for a quick kiss. As my lips brush over hers, my life changes forever. “F*ck. That’s delicious.” My tongue darts out of my mouth to capture any last remnants of sweetness.
Her green eyes shine as she kisses me back. “Told you so. I’ll text you later.”
“You should come to my place later. You can meet the one roommate I actually like, and then we can get coffee. I think you’ve converted me.”
Her laugh is musical as she sashays down the brick walkway. I watch her go, and then I turn to head inside Friedman Library, but I nearly plow right over Blue on my way to the steps. He’s standing like a damn statue in the middle of the sidewalk, his mouth hanging open like he’s a f*cking fish or something.
I brush past him, but he doesn’t follow me. He’s just standing there staring at the stone wall where Bridgette and I were saying goodbye.
“What?” I ask, taking a sip of my coffee and wondering what the hell his deal is.
My best friend doesn’t even blink. He just stares blankly and poses a question. “What. The. F*ck. Are. You. Doing?
I roll my eyes because he thinks I’m the dramatic one. “It’s called kissing. It’s f*cking awesome. You should try it sometime.”
“Tell me you know who that is,” he says, his voice lethally calm.
“The girl I was kissing goodbye?” I ask, my brow furrowed. What the f*ck is his problem?
“That’s not just a kiss goodbye, but whatever. Who’s the girl?”
I’ve known Blue almost my entire life, and while he can be a lot to handle, he’s never this theatrical. “That’s my girlfriend.”
His eyes blink comically, like he’s suddenly morphed into the cartoon version of himself. “Your what-the-ever-loving-f*ck?”
Okay, now I’m starting to get annoyed. He knows I’ve been seeing someone. I haven’t been hiding it. “It’s new, but that’s the girl I’ve been telling you about. Bridgette’s it for me.” If my best friend has a problem with Bridgette—especially after seeing her for all of a minute—then he’s going to have a damn issue with me.
“Bridgette? That’s what you call her?” His question brings me back to the moment and the realization that we’re standing in the middle of campus. It’s midday and people are milling all around us. I’m not in the mood for his line of questioning, but I definitely don’t need to be interrogated like a hostile witness with a damn audience.
“Yeah,” I answer, “because that’s her name. What the hell is wrong with you?” I ask, making my way up the steps and out of the crowd.
“What’s her last name?” Blue asks, following me inside.
“What’s with the third degree?” I ask, heading straight to the quiet study rooms. There’s an empty one, so I stride inside and toss my bag on one of the chairs before turning to my best friend to find out what the hell his problem is.
“What is her last name?” he asks again.
I smirk at him while I tap my chin in mock concentration. “Hmmm.. let me think…oh, yeah, I remember. It’s Why’sMyBestFriendBeingADickhole?”
“It’s not that,” he says, shaking his head.
I love the guy. We couldn’t be any closer if we were blood brothers. But right now, he’s really pissing me off. “Oh, really? How the hell do you know?”
“Because it’s Mikalski.” he says, slumping down into one of the burgundy plastic chairs.
“It’s wh—” I stop cold when I realize two things. The first is that I don’t know the current last name of my future wife. The second is that I’ve heard the name Mikalski before.
Blue’s got that same wild look in his eyes now as he did in the courtyard. “I just watched you try to suck the lips off Birdie.”
“Who’s Birdie? My girlfriend’s name is Bridgette.”
“Yep,” He nods slowly. “It’s Bridgette Mikalski. Also known as Mickey’s twin sister, Birdie.”

BLURB:
Body Check is a forbidden romance featuring a grumpy hero and a curvy heroine who just can’t stay away from each other!

I’m the teammate nobody likes. I don’t play well with others, and I hog the puck. If I have a choice between passing or trying to score, I’ll take the shot every time.

It’s not my fault that nobody else is as good as I am.

When I transfer to Bainbridge University, it’s no surprise that my new team isn’t happy to see me. After all, I used to be their biggest rival, and I loved nothing more than scoring on them. Okay, there was one thing I enjoyed more, and that was getting under the skin of one of their D-Men, Mickey Mikalski.

I count on a frosty reception from my new team. I count on Mickey getting on my very last nerve.

What I don’t count on is falling in love with his sister.

Body Check is the second book in Season Two of the Bainbridge U Hockey series, and it can be enjoyed as a standalone. If you love surly heroes who don’t play well with others, body-positive heroines who know their worth, and steamy scenes that will make you want to take a dip in the pool just to cool off, then Dutton and Birdie’s love story is for you!

Ford is a successful businessman who has been trying to hide his attraction to his assistant ever since she was hired. Instead, he goes along with the changes she suggests to keep the office in line and he tries to make things easier for her without her realizing why. When he needs a pretend girlfriend to dissuade his ex he decides to use this opportunity to show Mia how he really feels.

Mia has had feelings for her grumpy and difficult boss since she started but she also knows that nothing can happen between them. When he asks her to be his pretend girlfriend and in exchange he will help her sister with her business it seems like a win-win. The one thing she hadn’t counted on was this pretend relationship was nothing like she expected.

This is a heartwarming holiday story about two people who have been denying their feelings for each other. I enjoyed seeing them give in to what they truly mean to each other and show that they are perfect for each other in every way.

Excerpt:

The lines between our personal and professional relationship were a blur. Did Anthony just come to the same realization?

I was about to text him back when the man himself strolled into my office. He closed the door behind him too.

“What did you do that for?”

He tilted his head. “Because I plan to show you exactly what I think about you doing research for private things during work hours.”

I swallowed hard. “And it’s not for others to see?”

“It’s not PG-rated, that’s for sure.”

I laughed. I liked how playfully he was addressing this. In fact, he made it seem like a non-issue at all.

Oh, screw it. Why should I be worried about anything? This was a temporary job, after all. And I just wanted to enjoy this man for however long this lasted. So, as he walked closer, I wiggled my eyebrows too. He stopped in his tracks. Ha! I love surprising him.

“I bet you were expecting me to play coy.”

“Yeah.” He sounded stunned.

“Well, I’m not. So, what kind of dirty thoughts do you have for me?”

He came over, leaning his ass against my desk. “Want to know all the details?”

“You’ve given this some thought already?”

“Every f*cking day, Daisy. I come in here and think about all the things I’d do to you”—he patted the wood—“right here on this desk.” Then he jutted his chin toward me. “And on the chair.” He leaned over slightly. “And against that window.”

“Holy sh*t. You’ve been holding out on me. Why didn’t you tell me any of those things?”

“Because saying them out loud only makes me want them more.”

Blurb:

In New Orleans, I’m known as the fun and laid-back LeBlanc brother. The Rebel CEO.

I’m successful and determined, but I don’t play by the rules. Heck, I don’t even have rules except one. I never ever get involved with my assistants. After a very bad experience years ago, I know better than to mix business and pleasure.

I’ve had no problems sticking to my rule until I hired Daisy.

When I first meet her, I have no idea she’s my new temp assistant. I just set eyes on this gorgeous woman at my favorite coffee shop, and do what I do best: flirt with her like there’s no tomorrow. When I realize my mistake, I change the tune. I’m cold and distant but my plan is not working. Not one bit.

Whenever she steps into my office, all I think about is bending her over my desk. When she gives me sass, all I want is to cover her mouth with mine until she begs for more. Daisy is fun and unlike anyone I’ve met, and I gravitate toward her whether I want it or not.

When she suddenly gets a call from home that her family needs help, I immediately take over. All lines blur, but one thing I know for sure, I won’t let Daisy go. I just have to convince her that I’m the one.

And I’m very convincing when I want to be.

FEAR OF FLAMES

Aleatha Romig

Wide Release Date: October 15

Will Be Available In Kindle Unlimited: October 20

She writes thrillers for a living, but nothing could prepare her for the one she’s living now.

By day, Michelle Holdcraft is the quiet woman-next-door in small-town Indiana. But by night, she’s D. Valentine, a bestselling thriller author with a mind for murder and secrets.

Her real life? 

Completely ordinary. Until one unplanned trip to visit her estranged father in Iron Falls, Massachusetts, flips everything upside down.

She wakes to a gunshot only to find her father’s body in a pool of blood on the first floor and flames engulfing the walls.
She barely escapes the burning house. Fleeing barefoot into the snow, Michelle becomes the only witness to a crime that no one in Iron Falls wants solved. Especially the sheriff.

Hiding in the snowy pines as she watches her father’s home burn, Michelle doesn’t know what to do, until a mysterious man appears, offering to help her—to save her life.

Michelle has never met Fletch—surely, she would remember this handsome and dangerous man if she had. However, Fletch knew her father and knows a lot about her, including her alter ego and her mother’s mysterious death.

With limited options, Michelle accepts Fletch’s help. It isn’t until she sees the large tattoo across his wide shoulder blades that she is shaken to the core. Michelle has seen that exact tattoo before—on her father.

Fletch might be her only ally… but he is hiding something. Her life has become one of her thrillers.
But this time, the story’s out of her hands—and the ending might just kill her.

This time, the heroine doesn’t get to write the final page.

What will it bring?

Blurb:

Ian

Nothing is more tempting than the forbidden. 

I pride myself on my control. 

I am the best quarterback in the league with an iron will and unshakable discipline. 

Nothing can change that. Or so I thought. 

Then Lilly crashes back into my life.

She’s all I think of.

Staying away is impossible.

Being just friends is agonizing.

A relationship with her is forbidden. Something I’m reminded of every time I go to practice and see my head coach.

But damn if she doesn’t make me want to risk it all to have her.

 

 

Lilly

Coming face-to-face with the only man I had a one-night stand with was not in my plan. I never inquired as to who’d be my neighbor when I moved into my new apartment. 

But I should have. Especially after all I have done to avoid Ian.

But avoiding him now seems impossible. He’s everywhere, tempting me to the point of exhaustion.

I won’t give in. Not only because I refuse to date a player, but my father is his head coach.

So instead, we’ll be friends. Which might be the stupidest thing I’ve ever agreed to.

Because being just friends with the man I can’t stop thinking about has trouble written all over it.

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

Read the Excerpt:

“Christmas tree farms make great date spots.”

“So you were trying to get me in the mood,” he says, shooting me a flirty glance that makes my pulse kick up.

“Yes, you figured me out,” I retort.

“You and your love of trees. I had a feeling you were trying to lure me to the forest. Have your way with me.”

Images flash before my eyes. Rowan tugging me against him, a Christmas tree behind us, crisp air around us. Then, a new thought lands—him chasing me through the woods before he kisses me. Playfully, like a game, at twilight. Catching me, then having his way with me. Right here in the snow. Outside. 

A gasp threatens to escape my lips. 

“Or maybe I’m trying to kill you out here,” I say, but my teasing sounds too breathy to be believable.

“Nah. You’d lose the bet then,” he says with that lopsided smirk that wreaks havoc to my common sense. “You definitely wanted to date me in the trees.”

I swallow roughly. He’s playing me. Of course he is. It’s our game. But something about the way he’s teasing today feels different than at the café. Or even in my car earlier. Dirtier. And a part of me doesn’t mind. Well, lots of parts of me don’t. I feel a little glowy, a little fuzzy.

Yeah, I definitely need to send myself to time-out very, very soon.
