After years of trying to get back home to be closer to my daughter, I finally secured a spot on the newly expanded San Francisco Shockwaves.

Juggling being the newly appointed Captain of the team and taking on full-time fatherhood to a teenager sends my life into chaos.

I quickly find myself needing someone who can pick up the pieces and keep my life in order as I certainly can’t do it alone.

I just never thought my savior would be the sexy woman next door- the one I can’t keep my mind or eyes off every chance I get.

We were made of moments.

A handful of nights.
Two weeks of passion.
Four years of denial.

Jesse
She was never mine to keep, but I took every second that girl was willing to give me.
I always knew she’d go back to him.
But I never expected she’d take a piece of me with her.

Hayden
He changed my life forever, and it happened long before our two weeks together.
I didn’t mean to fall for him.
But how could I not when he gave me the most precious gift of all?

Molly writes spicy small-town romance with lots of heart. Her heroes are typically blue collar with beefy forearms, and her heroines are stubborn backtalkers. Kinda like Molly and her husband in real life. She lives in Wisconsin, so it’s no surprise that she loves all things cheese, especially in cake form. She’s a cat and dog mom with a few human kids, too, and she has a day job. Writing happily-ever-afters is definitely her escape from reality.

Review by Elizabeth

“Life is not measured by the amount of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.”

I was given the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an honest review.

Jesse and Hayden… no other words to be said but, Absolutely Breathtaking!
Hayden lives in the city and spends her summers at the family cabin up north in the small town where Jesse lives. They are from two separate worlds, but on a starry night, the universe decides that they need to meet.

A wish on a star sets into motion a beautiful love story full of laughter, angst, and quite a few tears.  The struggles that they face are all too real.  One holding onto a plan that may not be the right one, and the other knowing in their heart that, given time, things will be as they were always meant to be.

Ya,  We’re Made of Moments is that book that will leave you breathless and begging for more. I couldn’t put it down, and I felt every moment of Jesse and Hayden’s story in my heart.

Jack O’Donnell is a living legend—

And the most insufferable man I’ve ever met.

I came to LA for the story. An exclusive interview with the elusive, infuriating, wickedly sexy rockstar. The one that could make my career.

He slams the door in my face.

Then chaos hits. And I find myself in a coffee shop, sitting across from a man who once ruled the world with a guitar in his hand and destruction in his wake.

Jack O’Donnell is raw. Unfiltered. A mess of contradictions wrapped in leather and regret.

Every word is a challenge.

Every glance, a dare.

But the more he reveals, the harder it is to look away.

Because beneath the headlines is a man still haunted by the past.

By a love that shattered him. By a heartbreak he never recovered from.

And when it’s time for me to go home—

Will either of us be ready to let go?


Blood & Bone is the first novel in the Blood & Bone series which must be read in order for the best reader experience. If you enjoy angst-fuelled romance, dangerously addictive love triangles, and second chances, don’t miss this steamy, intensely emotional slow burn rockstar romance.

Content Warning: This book also contains some sensitive subjects about abuse, addiction and suicide. Please take care while reading.

Paula Dombrowiak grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois but currently lives in Arizona. She is the author of Blood and Bone, her first adult romance novel which combines her love of music and imperfect relationships. Paula is a lifelong music junkie, whose wardrobe consists of band T-shirts and leggings which are perpetually covered in pet hair. She is a sucker for a redeemable villain, bad boys, and the tragically flawed. Music inspires her storytelling.

Review by Elizabeth

I had already heard that this author was the “collector of reader’s tears.” Now I can understand why. What Jack goes through is REAL.

Jack O’Donnell is the self-proclaimed “villian” of his own story.  This is a truth that  journalist Erin Langford sets out to debunk.  She wants the whole story.  Every dark, angsty, emotionally crippling,  word of it.  He reluctantly agrees after a horrible situation hits the press that was supposed to be kept quiet.

Blood and Bone takes you through every part of Jack’s life, no detail is spared.  Neither are the tears you will be shedding with the rest of the characters.  If you can survive reading what this man goes through without breaking,  there must be something wrong.  I didn’t. 

A missing woman leads the alpha heroes on their boldest mission yet in New York Times bestselling author Susan Stoker’s searing Mountain Mercenaries novel.

It’s been ten years since Rex’s wife, Raven, disappeared from a Vegas casino. Never losing hope, he even formed the Mountain Mercenaries to help find her—and other missing wives, sisters, and children. Now Rex and his fearless team are following a lead to Lima, Peru, where the rescue operation is greater than they imagined.

A day at a time. That’s been Raven’s motto for a decade. Once held captive by an elusive sex trafficker, she has an indomitable will to survive. But Raven’s not ready to leave Peru. She can’t. Not yet. Because her liberation from the barrios comes with devastating consequences. One wrong move and all hope will be lost to an unimaginable hell.

For the Mountain Mercenaries, the stakes have been raised. The threats are escalating. But Rex hasn’t searched this long, risked so much, and come this far to lose Raven all over again.

Review by Karen

Dave aka Rex is everything you want in a hero; smart ,strong- both physically and mentally, sexy and apparently wealthy. Raven has a inner strength that most of like to think we have but few rarely do. Their story is both heartbreaking and Heartwarming .

When Matt O’Connell returns to Pine Ridge, he’s not the same man he was when he left. Years in the US Army Special Forces have forged his mind and body into lethal weapons.

Beneath the skills and formidable exterior, Matt’s soul remains intact—for now. He’s at a crossroads, and he’s hoping that spending time around the men who helped shape him as a teen can help him with the choices he now faces.

His mother’s new neighbor is an intriguing distraction. She’s young and beautiful and completely uninterested in him, which makes it even harder to stay away. Especially when his finely honed instincts insist there’s a lot more to her than meets the eye.

And then there’s the spark she’s unintentionally ignited in his chest. The one he never expected to feel.

But is it real? Or just what he really wants?

Home Team Advantage is a small town contemporary romance suspense – light on the suspense, heavy on the romance.

Review by Karen Young

This was the perfect bridge to the second generation of Callaghans. Matt, the teenager that we fell in love with in Having Faith is grown and at a crossroads to decide his future. He thinks he has it all mapped out and then steps in Anna. As always there’s mystery, intrigue and a happy ever after but best of all is the familiar faces that make an appearance.

Whatever it takes. As long as it takes.®

He was born into a legacy of protection and power. David “Ronan” Alexander, son of the legendary owner of Guardian Security, grew up knowing that the weight of leadership would one day rest on his shoulders. Now a seasoned team leader in the world’s most elite private security firm, Ronan is prepared for anything—except for the fiery woman who crashes into his life with a mission as dangerous as his own.

She’s dedicated her life to rescuing the innocent. Fleur Buchanan is a force to be reckoned with. A vigilante with a heart of gold, she has made it her personal mission to rescue children trapped in the nightmarish world of human trafficking. She doesn’t need Ronan’s help—until she does. As they work together to dismantle a dangerous ring of traffickers, their mutual respect grows into something far more powerful.

In a world where life-and-death decisions are made during the haze of war, Ronan finds himself torn between his mission and the plans of a woman who is as fearless as she is beautiful.

From the USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Kings of Guardian®, Guardian Defenders®, and Guardian Security Shadow World® comes the next chapter in the epic Guardian Security Dynasty saga. Prepare for action, suspense, and a love that will change everything.

Review by Karen Young

This is the first book in the Guardian Dynasty and it’s a keeper. Filled with old and new faces of Guardian, it did not disappoint. Filled with action, drama and a love. I’m truly excited for this next generation and their stories

Caden

I don’t do relationships. Ever. Life is too short, and love is too painful. I’m a live in the moment kind of guy with whichever woman wants to accompany me for a night or two, and I always make sure they know the score before we ever make it to second base. It’s the only way I operate.

That all changes the moment Adrienne takes me home with her.

I’m instantly addicted. The problem is she becomes more than just a friend. She’s everything I didn’t know I needed and the polar opposite of the woman who destroyed my heart.

Falling in love with her isn’t an option.

Adrienne

After picking up my life and moving to the small town of Stewart Grove, I’ve been able to put the hurt of my past behind me. My new motto is to live for today and enjoy the ride. I’ve got a great job at the popular local hotspot, new friends I adore, and am building a life I’m proud of. I have everything I need.

Then Caden saunters up with his rugged good looks, disarming smile, and an offer I can’t refuse.

I fight my attraction as long as I can. I have to. I’m not looking to get into another relationship, but life has a way of throwing you a curveball every now and again.

Mine comes in the form of two pink lines.

Review by Karen

Final Book in this fantastic series. It’s been an amazing journey and as much as I hate to see it end, this book finishes it perfectly. Even if you haven’t read the previous books, this one holds as an excellent standalone also.

**Adult Romance**

Benella is concerned with two things – avoiding the two village boys who torment her and scrounging for food to help feed her family. Unfortunately, the best wild fruit and vegetables are near the walls of the estate, a dark misty place inhabited by an unforgiving beast.

When her tormentors lock her behind the massive gates, Benella knows her fate is sealed. Yet, the fate isn’t one she expects. Her encounter with the beast starts a bizarre cycle of bargaining for her freedom, a freedom the beast seems determined to see her lose.

A classic fairy tale with a new twist, the Beauty and the Beast saga begins with Depravity.

Intended for mature readers due to sexual situations and moderate language.

Review by Sarah

Nicole Craig’s debut in the Susan Stoker Operation Alpha World was a hit. Like visiting with old friends. I loved getting to know Francesca and Tripoli (Ethan). The characters were well developed and enjoyed the suspense and intrigue. The hair tie on the wrist swoon worthy for me.

Can’t wait to see what Nicole brings to this world in the future.

A young brat and his buttoned-up best friend together for an unexpected and romantic weekend in Los Angeles. Is it a recipe for disaster or a chance at real love?

Archer has been in love with his best friend for years, but he’d never admit it out loud. Comparing every man he meets to the only man he wants, everyone falls short of the high ideal of Clint Taylor. On the heels of a date gone wrong, Clint ends up the last place either of them expect…Archer’s bed. There’s a kiss and another, and then everything changes.

Clint doesn’t understand some of the things Archer wants from him, but he knows he isn’t a quitter and Archer deserves the best. Determined to be the man and the Daddy Archer deserves, the two men find themselves together for a romantic and kinky weekend beneath the bright lights of Hollywood.

Archer is rich and Clint isn’t.
Clint is patient and Archer could never be.
Archer knows what he wants and Clint doesn’t believe he’s enough.

With so much stacked against them, is it too much to hope that love is the one thing that goes right?

Reel Love brings together a bratty boy, a Daddy who doesn’t know he’s a Daddy, a gorgeous L.A. backdrop, and enough steam to fog up all the windows in a high-rise hotel.

This book is part of the Destination Daddies multi-author series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but there are so many destinations and Daddies to discover, why not grab them all?
