#newrelease – The Hang Up by Shaw Hart

Lena
Holden James was my everything—my first love, my future, or so I thought.
When he left after our high school graduation, he shattered my heart, and I promised myself I’d never look back.
Now, he’s returned to Lilac Harbor, acting like he can waltz back into my life as if nothing happened.
He says he can explain, but I won’t listen.
I’m stronger now, smarter. I’m not the girl who once believed in forever with him.
He broke me once, and I’ll be damned if I let him do it again.

Holden
Leaving Lena behind was the hardest decision of my life, but I did it for her.
Now that I’m back in Lilac Harbor, I’m ready to make things right.
Lena doesn’t trust me, doesn’t even want to look at me, and I know that winning her back won’t be easy.
But I didn’t come back for easy.
I came back for her, and I’ll do whatever it takes to show her that the love we shared isn’t over.
I’ve waited years for this second chance, and I won’t let her slip away without a fight.

#Review – Mystery Mountain Man: Hot Mountain Nights by Lara London

A freak storm, one-bed in a tiny little tent, and a smoking hot attraction to the mystery mountain man who saved my life? What could go wrong?
Mimi

As I trek out into the wilderness in hopes of an epiphany from my recently deceased mother, I lean into the crazy and hope for the best. When mystery man Clint barrels into my campsite and saves me from a horrible storm, I’m ready to show him my gratitude by handing over my V-card. The trouble is, I didn’t anticipate catching feelings so fast. How am I going to let him walk away in the morning?
Clint
I live in the city and work my dream job, but I’ve never been lonelier in my life. While testing new camping products for Billings Corp., I fall in deep, desperate love with a certain curvy camper. One look at her flimsy tent and I know she’s not prepared for the massive storm headed our way. Running from the cold and rain, I fall headfirst into the steamiest night of my life. Come morning, I’m ready to make her mine…for as long as we both shall live. I’ve never been good at talking to women, and Mimi is no exception. How do I make her mine without scaring her away forever?
Tropes: Forced proximity, one-bed, small-town, mountain man, quirky curvy heroine, HEA
***
What to expect from a Lara London short read: Quirky heroines, sexy men who can’t get enough of them, no cheating, an HEA, and a double dose of heat!

 

 

Amazon

I purchased this book

This book hot all the things I wanted.  Its short.  Its steamy.  Its sexy.  The alpha is crazy alphie and he gets his woman.  LOL Isnt that what we all want in a novella?

Clint and Mimi ( who I loved what an older character in her 30’s vs a 20 year old) crash into each other while camping.  Mother Nature steps in and they are forced to spend some time together in close quarters.

If you want delicious goodness in a quick read this is a good suggestions.

 

Lara London has been a romantic fiction fan since her early days reading The Baby-Sitters Club and Sweet Valley High. Grandma and mom provided generational reinforcement by introducing her to soap operas (As the World Turns) and historical romance (“it’s educational”). After years of reading steamy love stories, she finally decided to bring her own smutty romantic stories to the world.

She writes steamy romance about men who fall first and fall hard, frequently instantly. From small-town mountain men, to OTT possessive billionaires, her books bring the heat and humor in equal measure.

Lara has three kids and is married to her real-life book boyfriend husband who can’t understand why she loves Supernatural and Vampire Diaries, but won’t watch a horror film.

#newrelease – Prince of the Northwest Forest by Leslie McAdam

If the forest prince is straight, why does it seem like he wants to kiss me? And will I end up regretting it if I let him?

I spend my mornings working as a barista and my afternoons hiking in the woods trying to find a way into the realm of the fae. Those tricksters stole something from me, and I want it back.

Then I meet Prince Kalle, who has a wicked scar on his face, a sword at his hip, and the rare ability to talk to animals. We form an easy friendship, in part because he’s searching the woods for something, too: his missing brother.

Kalle is tall, dark, handsome, kind, and not into men. I tell myself to smother my budding attraction to him, which is especially difficult to do when our quest has us sharing a very small tent.

Am I just imagining that he’s sending me mixed signals?

Regardless, I need to leave him alone. If Kalle doesn’t find his brother, he’ll have to marry the princess of a rival realm to save his forest from destruction. But losing him might destroy my heart.

Is there any way Kalle won’t have to choose between saving his land and subjects … and me?

Prince of the Northwest Forest is a lower-angst, spicy, male/male urban fantasy romance. Prince Kalle and commoner Justice trek through snowy woods wearing hooded cloaks and carrying lanterns … and maybe falling in love along the way. Expect cute animal sidekicks, cozy visits to the cottagecore homes of wood nymphs, firecat attacks, and revealed secrets. It’s book four of the Runaway Prince Hotel shared world series, where magical royals find love over a cup of coffee. HEA guaranteed.

#releaseday – Pretty Desperate by Lacey Black

Jillian

They say when one door closes another one opens, right? When the door closed on my marriage, I was fortunate to follow a new dream. One that led me to opening my own bakery in downtown Pine Village. It hasn’t been easy, especially in the offseason, but I make it work. I’m content. Happy.

Then Kameron Markley showed up on my doorstep, begging me to be his fake girlfriend.

It seems like such a simple plan, especially when we’re both getting something out of it. Unfortunately, it doesn’t take long before lines are blurred and crossed, and suddenly, the relationship doesn’t feel so fake after all.

Kameron

For the last decade, I’ve poured my heart and soul into my restaurant, turning a small-town space into a top steak house. The building beside mine has been sitting for as long as I can remember, and the owner is finally ready to sell. The only problem is, she thinks it needs to go to a family man. Suddenly, I’m desperate.

That’s when I come up with the wild idea to find a fake girlfriend.

Jillian Kirby fits the bill to a T, and with a little negotiation, we’re able to work out a deal where we both come out ahead. What I wasn’t expecting was it being so easy to be around her. Suddenly, the lie we’re telling does feel like it’s so right. I want it to be real.

#newrelease – Taken (The Captain’s Captive Book 1) by Sinistre Ange

The only thing worse than being taken? Realizing how much I like it.

I’m a good girl. I go to school, keep my head down, stay out of everyone’s way and pray nobody notices me. And for the most part, they don’t.

Until him.

He doesn’t just notice me. He watches me from the shadows, stalking my every move. And when the time is right—he takes me.

Now I’m trapped with this beast of a man, the largest, most terrifying human I’ve ever laid eyes on. Every attempt at escape is met with a swift, humiliating punishment.

Worse yet than his painful discipline is the pleasure he forces on me. Pleasure so intense, it sometimes seems like more than I can possibly bear. With him, my life becomes a mess of confusing contradictions. Until I can no longer tell pain from pleasure…

Or madness from desire.

Check out the first book in a 2-part follow-up to Sinistre Ange’s The Warlord’s Captives Duet, featuring Jordan and Trish.

#releaseday – Love by Design (Club Rapture: Risk Aware Book 1) by Kate Hawthorne

The first book in Kate Hawthorne’s new series, Risk Aware, takes us back to Los Angeles and back to the club where it all began…Rapture. Love by Design: Risk Aware Book One is a dad’s business rival (with a mouth on him), age gap romance, with power exchange, hurt/comfort, found family, and the kind of best friend you’ve always wanted.

And did I mention Marshall Covington has three brothers?

SILAS
There are ten rules to architectural design including, but not limited to, balance, harmony, unity, organization…variety. My love life has fewer rules, and it’s no surprise I’m more successful at one of these things than the other. It’s not my fault that my personal preference for keeping things fresh throws me headfirst into a less than ideal situation with a stranger, and it’s definitely not my fault that the man who saves my ass—literally—the last man who should.
Marshall Covington, my father’s business rival.

MARSHALL
I did not set out in life with the intention to seduce the son of my least favorite professor-turned-biggest business competitor, but on the back end of a confrontational meeting that has me desperate to blow off some steam, there’s no denying how perfect Silas feels in my arms.

If I’ve learned one thing in my thirty-nine years, it’s that secrets never stay secret for long. There’s no hiding Silas’ talent, there’s no hiding his (platonic) affection for his best friend, and there’s no hiding the way I’m absolutely head over heels in love with him.

Between his father and my brothers, the truth about us is going to come out sooner rather than later. We’ve reinforced our foundation with love, but is that enough?
