Oooh, this was a fun, fast-paced read that I was completely lost in! Rylee and Trick appear to be polar opposites from afar. But once they meet in person, they find out maybe they aren't as different as they first thought. And they are drawn to one another. I enjoyed seeing their relationship bloom. Trick really sees Rylee and wants to be there for her! I enjoyed their chemistry and wanted their romance to go beyond the wedding! Be sure not to let this book pass you by!

Yes! Yes! Yes! I was so excited to get this book and I was completely consumed by Callum and Emery. Emery's life is a little in shambles when Callum shows up. She's not looking for a knight in shining armor, but Callum is there for her. He really sees her. And he knows how to wear Em down. I loved the banter between them; the passion! Callum is demanding and doesn't take no for an answer. Emery isn't a woman to be bossed around. I loved her sass! I loved the way this story is told and how we're also given small glimpses into Callum's life and his work. If you've read other J.T. Geissinger books, you will see cameos of other characters. I couldn't read this book fast enough and yet I didn't want it to end. Highly recommend this book!

An Armored Heart by RC Boldt is now live!
Four months. That's how long I'll need to pretend to be Steele Cunningham's doting girlfriend.
I agreed to this insanity only to save my restaurant. He's doing it because he needs someone outside his "social circle" to stick it to his meddling parents and clingy ex.
Ruthless and emotionless in both his personal life and his career, Steele's ego rivals his net worth.
Operating on joy and positivity—and a healthy bit of feistiness—I challenge him at every step.
He's a tin man—heartless and cold. Falling for him would be a colossal mistake, because there's no chance he'll ever love me.
He can't.
After all, he's the man with an armored heart.

My ReviewWhew boy! I was excited for this book from RC Boldt! I love a good forced proximity/pretend relationship and this book DID NOT disappoint! First off, the way Steele and Ella first met had me cackling! Ella was a spit fire and did not care who Steele was. Suddenly things took a turn neither saw coming and it put them in path to see each other often. I LOVED how Ella got to Steele. Ella was everything Steele was not. Warm, loving and considerate. But they had two entirely different upbringings and honestly, these two couldn't have been better suited. Steele just took a lot longer to deal with than most men :) Ella was a force to be reckoned with and she's someone I'd want to be friends with! She was loyal and loved fiercely. This book had heart and heat and everything in between. You do not want to miss this read!Meet RC Boldt
RC Boldt is a USA Today bestselling author currently living in part of the Costa Rican jungle with the love of her life and her mini-me.
If you’re in the mood for some killer mojitos or can’t recall the lyrics to a particular 80s song, she’s your girl.
Hank might be my new favorite Bennett! He's such an old-fashioned gentleman and you can't help but like him! The chemistry between him and Ella Mae was palpable and believable. I enjoyed their friendship and the realness that was between them. Hank and Ella Mae had an instant connection, but it wasn't insta-love. They meet by chance and turns out, she's his idol's sister! But Travis doesn't have an impact as to why he and Ella work. Travis is a by-product. I liked that he liked her for her. I enjoyed the flow of this story and the development of their relationship. I liked how Hank brought Ella Mae into his world and was a rock for her, when she needed it the most. I couldn't read this book fast enough. While I do recommend reading the previous books in the series, you can read this as a standalone.
He’s chasing his honky-tonk dreams. She’s Nashville songwriter royalty. Will a road trip together set them on a passionate course toward their hearts’ desire?
Being a country music star is Hank Bennett’s ultimate goal. But after his band breaks up, he’s at a crossroads pondering his fate between music and working on the family farm. Lonely, libated, and a little bit lost, he attends the hometown concert of his country music idol, Travis Miller.
But he never expected to cross paths with Travis’s gorgeous songwriting sister, Ella Mae.
She’s outgoing, easy to talk to, and has several music awards under her belted daisy dukes. There’s something magical and mesmerizing about a successful female artist penning chart-topping country love ballads, and he’s smitten.
When Ella invites Hank to join them on the road during the last three weeks of the exciting tour, these kindred spirits can’t fight their attraction anymore – and his chivalry and wooing antics pay off into a night of unforgettable passion. She’s unleashed something inside him, and he’s unlocking her desires one by one. But a small town musician wannabe like him has no place in Ella Mae’s thrilling tour life when her famous brother becomes jealous of their unmistakable duo.
Will their shared harmony lead Hank toward country music stardom? Or will the dark side of fame steer him off course, leaving him a heartbrokenfarmer?
Author’s Note: A steamy standalone about two musicians at a crossroads. One-click for a handsome, country-boy hero who likes to woo his woman, and a loyal, talented heroine starting to remember who she is outside of her famous brother’s shadow. Romantic add-ons include a charming family farm, hayloft serenades, outdoor sexy times in the mountains, and a happily ever after that will leave you breathless for days.
I enjoyed how the stories inside are split into segments. And I wasn’t sure how they would connect but I was here for it! Alexandra Ivy started the stories and we learned about Deke and the lives he shattered. But Ian and Tessa had a second chance for a romance. Ian may have made a bad decision, but he was ready to show Tessa he wasn’t going anywhere! I hated how quick their story was over! I wasn’t ready for it to end.

Ella has been hurt by Caden and I LOVED her sassiness!! The blowing up his vehicle was just an accidental bonus lol She was not quite ready to forgive him. I loved their journey and how Caden would watch out for Ella, no matter what. And there was also danger lurking.
One Last Kiss - Kat Martin
Sam made a promise to Marty to look out for his niece when he died. But it was more like, make her work and show her what it really means. But the attraction between Sam and Libby was strong. I enjoyed their interactions and how they genuinely wanted to work with each other. There was an ease to them and they enjoyed each others company. Of course, there were bad guys out there.
From the romantic thriller powerhouses behind the instant USA Today bestseller PIVOT, comes three new interwoven stories about brave heroes who rise up to take down a treacherous gang bent on robbery and destruction, to keep their homes, and the women they love safe…
When a cop killer resurfaces in Denver, enlisting the help of a pair of local lowlifes, it marks the beginning of a violent crime spree that will wreak havoc and endanger lives. Law enforcement is on alert from the first sighting of the cold-blooded trio. To take down this brutal gang, only those willing to risk everything they hold dear stand a chance . . .
Momentary surprise lifted his face, but disappeared as quickly as it came on. “I need a muse.”
“I’ve always been partial to whiskey brown eyes. A girl who can have a killer comeback ready at any moment, and who can be just as comfortable around me in heels as she is in flip flops.”
He’d just described me.
“She has to be willing to ride a horse.” My gaze flicked to his crotch for only a fraction of a second.
How was I supposed to tell her I’d found her already? That she was my muse.
Ask any of the great artists … the best muse is one that’s complicated.
If I knew men… and I think I did… there was one thing that would bother any ex. Seeing his ex-fiance trading up with a bigger and better celebrity. Especially one that craved the spotlight as it sounded like her ex did. It sent my mind whirring with ideas.
”Move those hands or I tie them up.”
“I won’t last last long if you keep that up.”
“And in reality, we’re gonna be picking hay out of places where the sun don’t shine for days to come.”
“Good girl,”
“He looked at me in a way that I got the impression he not only saw me… but also knew me. Maybe even more than I knew myself.”
Hope’s lips formed an o-shape and I couldn’t help but notice the sheen of moisture across them. Wet. Ready. Ready for me.
“You have sixty seconds.”
- “Sixty seconds? Guess I better make them count.”
Could I do this? Say yes to one of my clients? For the first time in my career, could I allow myself to be the woman, not just the wingwoman?
I wanted to kiss her. Make her forget this world existed.
As I leaned down, her gasp filled the space between us and her whimper was the last thing I heard before I took her mouth, kissing her hard.
Publicly.
For all to see.
His potent scent surrounded me and I could taste the remnants of peppermint from his toothpaste as he groaned and hugged me closer, deepening the kiss.
Now, more than ever, I needed to stick to the plan. Fall in love. Let Hope destroy my wasted heart. Give the producers the songs they needed— my blood on the sheet music.
Hope Marcoux-Evans: Professional Wingwoman. I’m like your specialized dating co-pilot. A cockcomplice. A cooter recruiter. Take your pick. Basically, I’m a matchmaker, but I take my job one step further. My clients are the bait and I’m the fishing pole, directing that chum through the fish-filled ocean that is the dating world. And I am damn good at my job.

My ReviewOH MY GOODNESS!!! I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED this book! I couldn't read it fast enough! Hope and Josh were an unlikely couple. But there was something about her that drew him to her. Josh needs to be inspired and Hope brings out his creativity. While they have an agreement, real feelings get involved. Hope is at a crossroads in life and the timing for this work couldn't have been better. I thought this book felt realistic and I couldn't keep a smile off my face. I was involved in their relationship and wanted Josh to work his way into Hope's life for real. If you're looking for a feel good, fun read then please don't let this book pass you by! You won't be disappointed!
WHEW BOY! Talk about hot! This book is very steamy and the title is a correct one! *Fans self* Simone is Donovan Kincaid’s personal assistant and she is a stellar employee. She is efficient and keeps her mouth shut. She has one little vice; she attends various charity dinners! This cracked me up but I liked Simone’s style. Steele is a Sebastian. Enough said! Now, if you aren’t familiar with the Sebastians, these men tend to get what they want. One night and an unexpected meeting brings these two together. And Steele brings the heat! He is drawn to Simone and she can’t resist him either. This book was fast paced and I was here for it! I couldn’t put it down and I highly recommend!
There’s only one person in the family meaner than my brother, and that’s my father. Neither of them would hesitate to send the dogs after a kid.
I’m a highly trained soldier, and I don’t hide or shirk my responsibilities. That’s for men without honor.
There’s nothing innocent about Alexis Clarke. Not a goddamn thing.
“I don’t answer to you.”
- “Like hell you don’t.”
Like it or not, tonight Alexis Clarke will be answering to me.
The worst part is that, even knowing she could be my ruin, I want her. I wanted her then. And I want her now.
Her expression is soft. Pleading. The walls are closing in, and I’m having trouble remembering why I can’t have her. Before I do something stupid, I pull my arm away to restart the elevator—and put some space between us.
I stop and turn to the beautiful woman who captured my attention when she was nineteen, with her smart mouth and the promise of sin, rousing something inside that I’d never felt before— or since. I didn’t act on it then. That didn’t happen until much later, after a long celebratory day and enough booze to make me stupid. Under a moonlit sky in a vineyard awash in fairy lights, I surrendered to the siren’s call. I’ve been paying ever since.

Yes, I'm a single dad who needs a nanny for the summer. But hire the stranded runaway bride who shows up on my doorstep in a wedding gown with no references, no skills, and no experience? No one is that desperate.
Except within twenty-four hours, down-on-her-luck Veronica Sutton manages to charm my kids, my family, and half the population of Cherry Tree Harbor into believing she's perfect for the job.
And for me.
It's not that I can't see the appeal-those baby blue eyes? The endless legs? That mouth made for trouble? But I've got enough on my plate, raising two kids on my own and keeping the family business alive. I don't have the time or the inclination to fall for an outspoken city girl.
So I should have kept my hands to myself.
Holding her in my arms was a big mistake. Even worse? Spending the night together. She ignites a possessive fire in me that I'm finding hard to snuff out.
But the most unforgivable? Growing attached to the sound of her laugh, the scent of her skin, and the way her body wraps around mine in the dark.
At the end of the summer, she'll be gone. And if I'm not careful, she might run away with my heart.

My ReviewOMG! I looooooooooved this book so much! I was 100% lost in the feels! Veronica has had a difficult few years and she lost herself. But she's finding herself again. And life may be leading her in a new direction, but she's not mad about it. Owen and Adelaide are the twins she's about to start caring for. She definitely wasn't expecting a grumpy dad to go along with them. But soon, Veronica gets under Austin's skin. They have to learn how to live together with her taking care of his kids. I adored this book and seeing Veronica and Austin grow as people. They weren't looking for relationship, but there was an ease to them and even though they wanted to fight it, the chemistry between them was palpable through the pages. I couldn't read this book fast enough and didn't want it to be over either. I can't recommend this book enough!

And there's so much more to say but I don't want to ruin this beautiful story for you. I enjoyed Violet's friends and learning about those around her. I had to decide who I liked and who she needed to watch out for! This book was fast paced and very enjoyable. There's a lot of action, a bit of romance, and definite growth of the characters.

Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders from USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Yarros
Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.
But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.
With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.
She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise.
Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom's protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret.
Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.
