The Irresistible One by Marni Mann is now live!

A naughty enemies-to-lovers, single dad, billionaire romance from USA Today best-selling author Marni Mann …

I’m the irresistible one. The man who always gets what he wants. Too bad the only woman I want is the one I can’t have.

Dating apps can’t touch the dark and uninhibited desires I keep hidden. For the kind of kink I crave, I go to Lush—a playground where fantasies become reality.
That’s where I meet her.
The breathtaking blonde in the crimson dress who steals the air from my lungs, becoming an instant fixation after just one night.
Daring.
Uninhibited.
Captivating.
One taste will never be enough.
And when we meet again, it’s the worst possible scenario …
The sexy bombshell who ruined me for anyone else is now the one person who is completely out of my reach.
Off-limits.
Untouchable.
Forbidden.
The absolute enemy of everything I stand for.
But when scorching chemistry, razor-sharp banter, and an undeniable attraction collide, staying away from her is no longer an option.

What happens when the woman I can’t have becomes the only one I can’t resist?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Sophie and Colson’s story starts off with quite the bang in the prologue of The Irresistible One, and it just exploded from there! I really wasn’t expecting single dad Colson to be a member of a sex club, but his no-names-exchanged threesome was the best set-up to a delicious enemies-to-lovers romance that was compounded when they had to play nice around their preschooler daughters, who are best friends.

After their night together, Sophie and Colson go from never having seen each other before to seeing one another EVERYWHERE. The banter between the characters was fantastic, and I loved how witty and sharp Sophie was. All that hate builds up to incredible sexual tension and in the end, Sophie and Colson eventually realize that they are perfectly suited for one another.

I will be checking out the audio of The Irresistible One because I need to hear Teddy Hamilton growl as Colson. “I love to hate you too, Sophie.”

IF ONLY YOU KNEW by Stefanie Castro has a new cover and new content!

Blurb:

Shane promised Becca forever, and all she got was heartbreak upon high school graduation.

There was no tomorrow without Shane Philips by Becca’s side. That was until Shane abruptly breaks up with Becca, leaving her alone to face a future without the one person she had grown to love. Learning to maneuver through life after being Shane’s girlfriend since they were fourteen, Becca never imagined an existence that didn’t include them being together.

The pain Becca was left with goes beyond anything she ever expected. Much like life tends to do, time passes and each of them grows into the adults they are today. They live independent lives for twenty-five years before Shane ends up on her doorstep unexpectedly, wanting to rekindle a love that he chose to walk away from. But can Becca truly let go of her anger and embrace what’s right in front of her all these years later? Most of all, can she forgive Shane for walking away?

This is a second-chance love story between two forty-something soulmates who lived entire lives apart only to find a chance to begin again. But when Shane finds out everything he missed, can their love last? If only he knew…

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I read If Only You Knew when it first came out in 2023 as Stefanie Castro’s debut novel, and it still hits just as hard three years later!

If Only You Knew is an emotional second-chance romance that hits all the right marks in telling Shane and Rebecca’s reunion, 25 years after they split up the night of their high school graduation. They both have lived a lot of life in the years they were apart, and through a series of then-and-now chapters, we get the full range of their story: how they came together, what tore them apart, and how they navigate their reunion and a second chance at happiness.

I did feel that the situation with Shane’s mother was just kind of dropped — I would have liked to have gotten some kind of closure there. While Shane does confront her on her horrendous behavior, I wanted to see what kind of resolution Shane and Rebecca come to together in dealing with her after the fact. Aside from that, I really enjoyed Shane and Rebecca’s journey.

I became a fan of Stefanie Castro’s when I first read this book years ago, and have read all of her books since then!

NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new standalone series set in a small town, surrounding four sisters. Trying Not to Love You is a small-town, second-chance, first-love, ex-military romance.

Ellison
Copeland James was my first love, my first heartbreak, my first everything.

Then he left without explanation, and never came back.

My sisters and our closest friends helped me pick up the pieces, but my heart hasn’t been whole since the day he walked out of Magnolia Ridge.

I’ve learned to live with what could have been… until his mother’s illness brings him back to our small town. He’s older, harder, and more magnetic than I remember.

He’s a man now. The man I learned to live without. And yet, he’s back, stirring everything I thought I’d buried, making my world feel unsteady.

Because loving him nearly destroyed me… and now, I’m still trying not to love him.

Copeland

I left Magnolia Ridge with nothing but a duffel bag and a decision.

I told myself joining the Marines was the right choice. That loving her meant protecting her, and this was the way to do it.

I was wrong.

Now I’m back, years later, and she’s just as breathtaking as the day I left. All these years, I imagined she’d have moved on, married someone else, but she’s still single, and in my heart, she’s still mine.

But Ellison doesn’t see me the way I see her, not anymore. All I find in her eyes is the wound I left behind. The one that never healed.

I didn’t fight for us back then, but I’ve learned. Now I’m ready for battle, fighting for what we could be while she tries not to love me.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Trying Not to Love You is the first book in a small-town series from Kaylee Ryan centered around the Moran sisters. And the author really starts out with a bang with Copeland and Ellison’s second-chance romance.

Once upon a time, Ellison thought Copeland would be her forever. Then he upped and left, joined the Marines, without a word. What really happened was much more complicated than that, because Copeland felt like he had no choice other than to leave without a word to protect her. Miscommunication is at the center of what went wrong, and this couple’s struggle to reconnect when Copeland returns to town to care for his ill mother.

It takes a while for these two to finally get on the same page, and the hurt and heartbreak just build up in the meantime. In the end, it’s a hard-fought reunion, and I really liked the journey that Copelamd and Ellison went on.

This story was also a lovely introduction to the world of Magnolia Ridge. Having recently finished KR’s Nashville Rampage football series, I was excited to dive into a small-town romance from this author, and it was every bit as sweet and heartfelt as I expected it to be!

I’m really looking forward to seeing Ellison’s sisters find their happily ever afters! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

FALLING FOR YOU by Natasha Madison is AVAILABLE NOW!

Blurb:

USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Natasha Madison turns up the heat when a night of passion brings together a man who was never looking for love and a woman who thinks she doesn’t deserve it.

Theo Williams loved and lost once and isn’t interested in doing it again. He has his family and friends, and plenty of women passing through his new hometown who are happy with a no-strings-attached night of passion. Working as a partner at his cousin’s construction company, he’s perfectly content with his life—until he meets Collins Henderson, the one-night stand who will change his world forever.

Collins grew up on the wrong side of her small hometown. Thanks to her parents’ shady schemes, every local knows a Henderson cannot be trusted. She works hard as a paramedic, putting in every extra hour she can to save for a better life. But every time she starts to get ahead, her parents show up to pull her back down. Having one night of passion with a man she doesn’t know is not something she’d normally do, but there was just something about him … And two months later, she finds herself unexpectedly pregnant.

When she runs into the mysterious stranger again, she has to tell him, not because she needs or wants anything from him, just so he knows. But now he’s showing up at her house, cooking her meals, stocking her refrigerator, and doing everything he can for her. Collins has always taken care of herself. She wasn’t looking for a relationship, but she can’t deny the chemistry between them.

She knows it’s only a matter of time before he learns who she is and changes his mind. She can’t let herself fall for this guy, but every day he’s getting harder to resist …

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Natasha Madison brings us back to Montgavin (where the Dreams series was set) with an all-new series.

Falling For You puts Theo (who is the cousin of Caleb from Forgotten Dreams) together with Collins after a one-night stand between two strangers results in a surprise pregnancy. Collins never expected to see Theo again, but when their paths cross while she’s a paramedic on the scene of an accident, she decides to tell him about the baby. And even though Theo never planned on getting into another relationship again, he is all in on taking care of his babymama.

I loved these two. Collins has some major issues because of her crappy parents, and everything in life has been a battle. Theo is such a golden retriever, and through all of his little gestures, Collins discovers that not everyone in life will disappoint her. Meanwhile, Theo discovers that being in a committed relationship again isn’t as bad as he thought. There was great chemistry between these two characters, and I loved seeing how they grew together and eventually became a couple.

I am definitely putting this audio on my TBR because Teddy Hamilton and Samantha Brentmoor are two of my favorites and now I really want to listen to them as Theo and Collins!

I am really looking forward to the rest of the Falling For series! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

IT’S ABOUT TIME by Harlow James is AVAILABLE NOW

Blurb:

Pretending to be engaged to my enemy might not be my brightest idea.

But it is definitely necessary.

On the brink of the biggest car show of my career, I start to panic because it’s the first time I have to see my ex since our break-up.

Spoiler alert: it wasn’t clean or amicable.

Then when Elliot Thorne’s ex-fiancé shows back up in town, I devise a plan for both of us to get what we want: a buffer from our exes with a dash of revenge.

The problem is Elliot takes his role to protect me too seriously.

He brings me food while I’m working to make sure I eat. He even silences the self-doubt I feel on a day-to-day basis.

And before I know it, he has me on my knees in my garage, and on my back on the hood of my car.

The hate I’ve harbored toward him melts away as fast as my panties, and I soon realize we have more in common than I thought.

Then he tells me a secret that makes me reevaluate our entire relationship.

Now I’m left to consider if something fake could be real…

And that maybe it’s about time I admit that Elliot isn’t my enemy after all.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I have been waiting for Elliot and Dilynne’s book since the very first time they snarked at each other in Blossom Peak Book 1 and It’s About Time was everything I hoped it would be!

I absolutely loved getting to know Elliot on a deeper level, and seeing just how much Tori leaving him at the altar messed him up. The book opens on Elliot’s ill-fated wedding day, when Dilynne was the friend elected to babysit him, and the first few chapters cover that first year as he tries to mend his broken heart, with Dilynne, of all people, there for him every step of the way.

The banter between these two characters was fantastic! I laughed out loud so many times. Dilynne was the last person Elliot wanted to bring him out of his funk, but they turned out to be a perfect match on so many levels. I loved the fact that he had a secret crush on her back in high school, so there was a bit of history between these two — and that made this book’s title absolutely perfect!

When Elliot’s ex ends up working at his family’s law firm, and Dilynne is facing seeing her ex again at a car show, she proposes a fake engagement between them. As expected, that leads to a delicious slow burn, and they finally got to the root of their antagonistic relationship that has colored every interaction between them since they were teenagers.

I have really loved this series, but I think It’s About Time was my favorite of the bunch. So much about these characters made me smile, and they both grew as people as a result of their relationship. I did an immersive read with the audio and ebook, and narrators James Cassidy and Mollie Stark were wonderful to listen to.

It’s been a great ride with the Blackjack Brotherhood, and I am sad to see this series come to an end, but I’m looking forward to what Harlow James gives us next!

Meet Harlow James:

Steamy Romance Author

Harlow James is a pen name I use to protect my identity as a high school teacher. Keeping those two roles in my life separate is necessary, but also fun! It’s like a live two lives, and anonymity gives me the opportunity to be bold and take risks in my stories.

I stumbled upon romance novels in 2018 when I picked up Driven by Kristy Bromberg, and I was obsessed. I had just lost my grandmother too, so reading offered me an escape from reality and a chance to grieve on my own terms.

About a year later, I got an idea for my own book and started writing. I researched self-publishing and jumped in with both feet. I had no idea what I was doing!

But now I’ve built a business and hobby that I LOVE! I have an outlet that’s just for me. When I write, I’m not a mom, a wife, or a teacher…I’m a woman who gets to tell stories that no one else can.

My books are the perfect blend of heartwarming moments, full-bellied laughs, and PLENTY of steam to melt your Kindles 😉 And there are always elements of me sprinkled in to every character and story that I write.

When I’m not writing you can find me reading or spending time in my kitchen. I love to cook and feed my family and friends. Otherwise, you can find me watching comedy specials with my husband, camping with our kids, or taking naps. I live for naps 😉

She’s known nothing but darkness for 413 days…but he’ll burn down the world to save her.

After a year in captivity, Nova Monroe is back in Starlight Grove—but she’s not the same woman who vanished. She lives on the edge, chases adrenaline, and refuses to be caged again. Cliff diving. Mountain biking. Anything to feel alive and outrun the memories clawing at her.

But the single dad with shadows of his own won’t let her face it alone. Especially when she finds herself needing a place to stay.

Kol Archer has made it his mission to protect her. As a Forest Service investigator, he’s no stranger to rugged terrain or battling for control. But nothing prepared him for Nova—her fire, her fight, the way she makes him feel something he thought was lost.

The closer they get, the more dangerous things become. Someone doesn’t want Nova to move on. And Kol is determined to stop them—no matter the cost.

Because for the first time in forever, Nova’s not just surviving. She’s learning how to live, how to trust, and reminding Kol he can, too. But as darkness looms, the truth could destroy them both…

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I was really looking forward to Into the Fading Twilight after getting the epilogue in Across the Vanishing Sky, and Catherine Cowles did not disappoint with Nova and Kol’s story!

Kol is the forest services deputy who rescued Nova after she spent a year in captivity at the hands of a serial killer. She’s struggling to reacclimate and adjust to living with her best friend, Brae, who is now dating Kol’s brother Dex. When Nova begins to feel suffocated by the expectations and pressure of living with Brae and Dex, Kol offers her a space of her own in the apartment above his garage. Kol also just happens to *get* Nova in a way that Brae doesn’t seem to anymore.

As a single father to Skylar (love that girl!), Kol’s entire identity has become wrapped up in work and raising his daughter. He never carved out time for himself until Nova came along. He also doesn’t think he’s deserving of love because of the damage caused by his serial killer father. Yet there’s something about Nova that seems to steady the unease that lives inside of Kol.

Now, with another monster on the loose, Nova’s life seems to be in jeopardy again. And since Kol is heading the investigation, getting involved with the victim is the last thing he should be doing. But the connection between these two characters is undeniable, and they find in each other exactly what they have been missing from life.

The audiobook is performed in duet by Sebastian York and Brittany Pressley, who did a great job with these characters. (The audio is a full cast with Connor Crais, Adam Gold, Teddy Hamilton, and Jason Clarke rounding out the rest of the Archer brothers.)

Catherine Cowles always does a spectacular job with her romantic suspense stories, but this one hit a bit extra because of Nova’s traumatic past. Still, CC did a great job in writing the character, especially how she dealt with Nova’s mental wellness in the aftermath of her abduction. Nova is such a fighter.

Into the Fading Twilight was a beautiful story of survival and healing! Now, bring on Maverick! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

🩼 Single Dad to Special Needs Son

Blurb:

Kenna has been let down by every man in her life. 

Her first love.

The father of her child.

Her ex-husband.

Even her own dad.

That’s why she’s sworn them off. Decided it’s her and her little girl against the world. No more being used. No more disappointments.

No more broken hearts.

Then Carter Cruz rolls into her life like a knight in a shining tow truck. He’s handsome, hard-working, and a doting single dad to a special needs teen. The kind of man she didn’t believe existed.

The kind of man who makes her want to break the rules.

Her rules.

But Carter doesn’t know the truth of what brought her into his life. The danger she’s trying so hard to escape.

Leaving him is the last thing she wants to do, but it might be the only option.

Because she will give up everything to protect the one man who’s asked for nothing.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I was so excited when Samantha Christy announced that the Cruz family would be getting a spinoff series within the Calloway Creek world. After getting to know Carter as a supporting character in some of the previous books in this universe, I couldn’t wait to meet the woman who would complete Carter and Christian’s family. She came in the form of fiesty, stronger than she thinks Kenna…. a single parent herself with an adorable little girl who just captured everyone’s hearts.

Kenna gets stranded in Cal Creek when she crashes her car during a snowstorm. Carter steps up and offers to let her and her daughter stay in her basement apartment while he fixes up her car. Kenna has been burned by several men in her life — especially the ex-husband she is running from — so she’s hesitant to rely on Carter for anything. Or even trust him, for that matter.

But with his quiet, steady presence, Carter wears her down and Kenna learns that he really is one of the good guys. But when Kenna’s past catches up with her just as she’s ready to stop running, will it destroy everything?

Broken Fortune was a beautiful story. I really enjoyed the development of Carter and Kenna’s relationship, which was set against the mystery of the secret she was keeping. I also really loved the continuation of Christian and Bug’s friendship (from Tiny Precious Secrets), and was *thrilled* by the development between the two that we got in the bonus epilogue!

This book was a wonderful start to a new series, and I can’t wait to read more of the Cruz family! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

He’s the last person I should fall for.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Promise Me This was such a wonderful slow-burn marriage of convenience story between Laiken, a pro hockey player single dad, and Kia, his teammate’s younger sister, whom he hires to be his daughter’s nanny as he battles his ex’s parents for custody. Add to that, Kia is pregnant and it’s not his baby. This book is all kinds of delicious complications.

I really did not like Kia’s ex or Laiken’s in-laws, so I was happy to see them come together to fight those outside forces. Laiken is such a green flag hero, and I loved how protective he was of Kia. For her part, Kia developed such a sweet relationship with Laiken’s daughter, and I loved that they all got the family they deserved.

Promise Me This is performed in duet narration by JF Harding and Savannah Peachwood. Peachwood did a great job with the younger Kia; I felt she really grasped the character’s vulnerabilities and naivety. And Harding, as always, is phenomenal with his portrayal of the main character. He’s growly when he needs to be, sweet and protective when he needs to be, and both actors really captured the characters well.

As Long As You’ll Have Me by Rebecca Wrights is Available Now

It should have been me.The words haunt me as I try to move on from the loss of one of my men, but no matter how hard I try to outrun them, they always catch up to me. Being a firefighter is a work of heart, and the men and women of Firehouse Nine are like my family. Hell, one of them is family seeing as how my foster brother and I work in the same firehouse. But losing one of your own alters you in a way you never understand until it happens.

Being sent to the union shrink was less than ideal. But when it was either go and talk about my feelings or be benched indefinitely, I swallowed my pride and went to the appointment. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting but falling hard and fast for the woman who’s supposed to ask me about my feelings wasn’t it.

Steel gray eyes that see straight through to your soul and a pair of silver-framed glasses that she adjusts when she’s nervous, Hanna Smith stole my heart as she sat across from me in her tiny office. And with every picture of her newest crochet project and the way she calls me ‘fireman,’ I don’t think I ever want it back.

What started out as a way to stay on the force has become something deeper. Something more important than anything I’ve ever done in my entire life. And as long as she’ll have me, I’ll do what I have to in order to be the man she deserves to have.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

As Long As You’ll Have Me is the first book I’ve read by Rebecca Wrights, and I found it a very entertaining and heartwarming story of learning how to move forward after grief.

Miles is a firefighter struggling with PTSD after losing one of his fellow firefighters. His chief sends him to Hanna for mandatory therapy, and the sessions turn out to be something much more meaningful for both of them.

There’s a great connection between the two main characters, and I enjoyed the journey that Miles goes on as he navigates how to cope with his grief. There’s a definite balancing act as Hanna walks the line between trying to be professional while developing feelings for her patient. Both characters show a lot of vulnerability with each other, and there’s a lot of sweetness to their relationship.
