When two worlds crossover. From the This Is Series and The Southern Series.

Addison
I never thought I would see him again.
Especially while I was planning someone else’s wedding—yet there he was holding hands with his girlfriend.
Our one night was wild and passionate; I could never forget him because it changed my life.
Now he’s here—and the result of our one night is twirling in a princess dress at our feet.

Stefano
I didn’t make mistakes.
I was the one you called in when you needed answers.
I was cutthroat but they didn’t pay me to be nice.
I was in control every single second.
The only time I let my guard down was five years ago.
If I thought seeing the woman I could never forget again would throw me off—it’s nothing like seeing our daughter for the first time.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Mine to Promise was fantastic! I loved that both Stefano and Addison considered the other the one that got away… their “What If?”

Addison never even got the last name of the guy she had a one-night stand with. So imagine her surprise when Stefano shows up at a wedding she planned as the groom’s cousin. Talk about awkward! From the moment Stefano sees his daughter, it is game on. He is dedicated to getting to know sweet Avery, and winning Addison back.

There’s a nice development to their reunion; I didn’t feel that it was rushed, which I appreciated. Stefano really goes above and beyond to protect his girls.

This swoony story may be my favorite in the series! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Meet Natasha Madison:

When her nose isn’t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she’s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It’s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn’t listen to her…

My Favorite Kidnapper by Melanie Moreland is now live!

A laugh out loud, unconventional opposites attract love story from New York Times bestselling author Melanie Moreland – 

I touched her confectionary creation, and she told me off.

Slapping my hands and cursing in her own unique fashion.

No one talked to me that way.

I liked it.

I liked her cake even more.

So, I took her to Italy to bake for me.

I should have asked her first, but I had a feeling she’d say no.

I brought her cat, though—that should count for something.

Now, I just need to convince her to stay.

And forget that little word.

Kidnapper.

I’d prefer lover.

But we’ll wait until she doesn’t want to kill me in my sleep.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

If you ever had dreams of being whisked away to an Italian villa by a handsome billionaire, then My Favorite Kidnapper is for you! I mean, sure, Dante crosses ALL KINDS of lines when he first meets Brianna, including literally kidnapping her in the middle of the night. But let that slide, because it’s a swoony story between two people who are complete opposites that never meant to fall in love with the other.

I loved the banter between Brianna and Dante. I loved that she was sassy and full of attitude around him and had zero issues getting lippy with him. And Dante ate it up, completely enamored with his little bee.

My Favorite Kidnapper is a rather unconventional love story, but most definitely an entertaining one!

Meet Melanie Moreland

New York Times/USA Today bestselling author Melanie Moreland, lives a happy and content life in a quiet area of Ontario with her beloved husband of thirty-plus years and their rescue cat, Amber. Nothing means more to her than her friends and family, and she cherishes every moment spent with them.

While seriously addicted to coffee, and highly challenged with all things computer-related and technical, she relishes baking, cooking, and trying new recipes for people to sample. She loves to throw dinner parties, and also enjoys traveling, here and abroad, but finds coming home is always the best part of any trip.

Melanie loves stories, especially paired with a good wine, and enjoys skydiving (free falling over a fleck of dust) extreme snowboarding (falling down stairs) and piloting her own helicopter (tripping over her own feet.) She’s learned happily ever afters, even bumpy ones, are all in how you tell the story.

Temptress

I was elbow deep in soil, working in the flowerbeds in my backyard, when the sound of the neighbor’s back door opening and slamming shut drew my attention from the weeds I’d been pulling.

Over the past few days, I’d caught sight of my sexy new neighbor as he came and went a couple of times, but there had been no more attempts at conversation since my efforts to welcome them to the neighborhood had been so rudely rebuffed.

I didn’t know what the hell the guy’s problem was, but he’d been a total asshole. I told myself to ignore him; pretend he didn’t exist.

Only curiosity had me creeping over toward our shared fence, dusting the dirt from my gardening gloves as I leaned forward to peek through the knot hole in one of the boards. Almost every inch of him was covered in white paint, but that did nothing to hide the sadness and defeat etched into his features and the way he held his big, strong body. I would have been lying if I said it didn’t tug at my heart a little as I watched him brace his hands on his hips and tilt his head back toward the sky, or when he heaved out a sigh and dropped it forward, giving it a disheartened shake.

I didn’t know what he was struggling with, but it was clear that whatever it was, it weighed heavily on him.

He moved to the hose coiled on the holder and pulled a few loops free before twisting the handle until water poured from the nozzle. I blinked out of my stupor when he stripped out of his shirt and began to soak himself down, washing the paint off his chest, face, and head in the middle of his backyard.

My mouth went dry as the Sahara at the sight of all those rippling muscles and the tattoos that were drawn into golden tanned skin. If I thought he was a sight with his shirt on, it was nothing compared to what he looked like without it.

Most of the paint was gone thanks to his backyard rinse, but there were still flecks of it here and there he’d have to scrub away. And on that thought, my mind went straight into the gutter. I pictured the man standing naked under the shower spray, working soap across his skin. He was a man’s man, meaning he’d probably used his hands to work up a lather, nothing as froufrou as a shower puff or even as functional as a washcloth. I bet if I were to run my hands across his body to scrub him clean, all those muscles would feel like rocks beneath my palms. I could imagine rubbing across his chiseled stomach like a washboard.

God, he really was gorgeous. It was such a shame he was a world-class jerk.

Born and raised around Houston Texas, Jessica spent most of her life complaining about the heat, humidity, and all around pain in the ass weather. It was only as an adult that she quickly realized the cost of living in Houston made up for not being able to breathe when she stepped outside. That’s why God created central air, after all.

Jessica is the mother of a perfect little boy–she refuses to accept that he inherited her attitude and sarcastic nature no matter what her husband says.

In addition to being a wife and mom, she’s also a wino, a coffee addict, and an avid lover of all types of books–romances still being her all time favs. Her husband likes to claim that reading is her obsession but she just says it’s a passion…there’s a difference. Not that she’d expect a boy to understand.

Jessica has been writing since she was a little girl, but thankfully grew out of drawing her own pictures for her stories before ever publishing her first book. Because an artist she is not.

The Two Week Roommate, an all-new must-read, forced proximity, grumpy-sunshine standalone romance from USA Today bestselling author Roxie Noir, is available now!

We used to be best friends. Now we’re snowed in together.

There are probably worse things than being stuck in a remote cabin with the rugged-yet-grumpy forest ranger who saved my life in a blizzard. Getting mauled by a bear, for example, though I might prefer that to eating breakfast with Gideon Bell, the guy who nearly ruined my life when we were kids.

It was twenty years ago. We haven’t spoken since. Our families still hate each other, and our lives are completely different. I’m not sure we’ve got anything in common besides childhood memories.

But when it’s just the two of us for a couple of weeks, none of that really matters.

What matters is the way Gideon grumbles, but makes my tea exactly the way I like it. What matters is how he always gives me the spot on the couch closest to the fireplace. What matters is how he looks at me when he thinks I’m not paying attention.

And those childhood memories? He’s in all my favorites.

Up here, in the cabin, it’s easy to look past all that because it feels so good to kiss him. It’s easy to spend a wild night in front of the fireplace and wake up still wrapped together. But back in the real world, where everything that drove us apart is still alive and kicking? It’s a lot harder.

Can Gideon and I fix what broke twenty years ago, or does what happens in the cabin have to stay in the cabin?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

I was intrigued by the blurb for The Two Week Roommate, and grumpy cinnamon roll hero Gideon and sunshine heroine Andi did not disappoint in this second-chance, forced proximity romance.

This story has a great balance of snark and playful banter between the two characters, sexual tension, and teasing moments as Andi and Gideon rehash their history 20 years later while trapped together during a blizzard. But when the snow melts and they leave the bubble of the cabin, will they be able to make things work in the real world?

Gideon is such a tortured hero. The guy has some serious religious trauma in his past, and he has had some major struggles in coming to terms with his family and who he is as his own person. During parts of this story, I felt that the religious trauma unnecessarily took center stage, but at the same time, that all kind of made Gideon who he is.

Overall, I enjoyed the progression of Andi and Gideon’s relationship. The story kind of ended abruptly with a HFN, in my opinion, but I am intrigued enough to want to read more from this series as I’m sure Gideon’s siblings will eventually get their own books!

I’m ancient for a hockey player.

Broody as they come.

I wasn’t always like that, I had love once, but it was ripped away in the blink of an eye.

Now all I want in life is to play the game I love and to be left alone.

Until I met the team’s new photographer.

I did my best to avoid her.

She was too young for me.

There was just something about her that called to me.

I’m not sure I can let go of my past, even if it means a future I never thought possible.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Damien and Trinity’s story was lovely. He is a broody, grumpy reclusive, still mourning the tragic death of his wife eight years ago. Trinity is a vibrant, young, social media manager newly hired by the Shockwaves to create content. From the moment they meet, Trinity sparks something in Damien that has been dormant for a long time.

A beautiful friendship forms between the two of them. She knows nothing about hockey, and as they spend time together while Damien teaches her the game, the attraction between them grows. It’s a slow burn, as Damien has to sort through his feelings about moving on again and what that means for the love he still has for his late wife. Trinity is so patient and understanding, and I really loved that she was so kind about not wanting to replace Kelly’s presence in his life, but share his life now with him.

While I did feel the ending was a little rushed, the story tied up in a nice, pretty bow for Damien and Trinity’s HEA.

Overdue, an all-new steamy enemies-to-lovers, new adult, small town romance from bestselling author Avery Samson is available now!

The first time I saw her, I knew she was the one.

Then she broke my nose.

She started a war, one that would last through our childhood.

After years of being gone, I’m home for good this time. If that isn’t bad enough, guess who I find bent over a filing cabinet, looking better than I remember?

Everything in me tells me to run. But I’m a glutton for punishment.

How can I convince her I’m worth a second look if she sneers whenever she sees me? But I’m not the same boy she thought she knew.

He was my nemesis, but also my childhood crush.

He threw shade, I ignored him.

He irritated me, I retaliated.

It was a childhood war for the ages. But that’s all about to change. Now we’re all grown up and back in the small town where it all began.

He’s always been the most beautiful boy I’ve ever known. He’s just as stunning as a man.

His attitude though? I can still do without it.

We might be able to build something, if he’d just keep his mouth closed.

Can I learn to get along with the boy from down the street?

Only if he learns to play nice.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Avery Samson is a new-to-me author and I quite enjoyed Overdue. It was a witty small-town frenemies-to-lovers romance with captivating characters that had sizzling chemistry.

I loved the banter between Austen and Reese. She is a bit of a drama queen, but he handles it well! The story goes back and forth between present chapters and flashbacks, so the reader really gets a sense of the history between Austen and Reese and how they got to be where they are today.

Overdue isn’t a very long book, so it’s easy to indulge in this sweet and spicy romcom! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Keep reading for a look inside Overdue!

REED

Austen Caraway. There’s a name I’ve never been able to forget. Gran mentioned she was moving home to become the head librarian. I didn’t consider I’d run into her when I walked through the library door.
Okay, that’s a lie. I totally knew she was who I’d find when I showed up. She’s all I’ve thought about since she moved back in down the street.
I hadn’t counted on how incredibly gorgeous she has become, though. She had been pretty in high school, even with the braces. But, with her ass being caressed by the tightest skirt in history as she leaned over the file cabinet. Holy hell. My instant semi almost proved an embarrassment when she turned around.
Except it got worse when she did turn around. Just looking into those deep brown eyes again made my heart skip a beat. Corny, I know. But that’s what happened. That’s what always happened when she looked at me growing up.
Her rich brunette hair with the gold highlights, the sexy as fuck glasses, and full lips the color of bubble gum almost brought me to my knees. My mind races to another place. One with her leg hiked up on my shoulder. My tongue slowly…but I digress.
She wasn’t interested in me in school, and chances are good she’s not interested in me now. Granted, I did turn into a complete douchebag trying to get her attention after that first introduction. The harder I tried to get her to notice me, the more she ignored me. It drove me crazy.
I doubt pissing her off enough to break my nose that first time helped, either. I started my first day of high school in a new place with two fading black eyes. Luckily, no one ever found out I got my ass handed to me by a girl. A younger girl at that. Damn, that girl had a hell of an arm. Puberty hit me hard after that.
Now I have a raging hard-on as I stomp to my truck in the parking lot. Just once I’d like to engage Austen in sophisticated conversation, resulting in her accepting an invitation to dinner.
But, I can’t seem to stop slipping into the role of insulting asshole. Which leaves her the part of incensed vixen. The only difference now is she was dressed like a wet dream. Leaving me with raging blue balls. Ugh, why does she get to me like this?
Just when I’m starting to get my stupid feet back on the ground in this town. The last thing I need is Austen Caraway messing with my chi. Or is it chai? One is tea and the other is that self-centering mumbo jumbo. Either way, she is going to fuck it up.

From Marie Johnston comes a small town second chance romance.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 3.5 Stars

A Reckless Memory is the first book in a new series from Marie Johnston, and a spinoff from her Oil Barrons series. Ansen Barron is a cousin of the Barron heroes, albeit estranged, and this new series will follow the rest of Aggie Knight’s siblings in their quest for love. I did read the first book in the Oil Barrons series (Make Me Whole) and fully enjoyed it — I’m not sure why I didn’t follow through on the rest of the series to read about the other cousins. There were definitely some references to the cousins that I think avid MJ readers will enjoy as Easter eggs, but some pieces of the story needed more explaining IMO.

But I digress… this second-chance romance is a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. I felt badly for Ansen, having lost everything, and how he was tricked by Aggie into coming to work for her. But I didn’t like that he was pushing her for a second chance when he was the one who did her dirty 10 years ago and in the present day, he almost had one foot out the door because he didn’t want to be living long-term around his estranged family members.

That aside, this story was enjoyable, not only Ansen and Aggie’s reunion (by the end, I did see that he loved her deeply and always had) but how she worked things out with her family and he did with his. The epilogue is a wonderful HEA for this couple, bringing their relationship back full-circle to the horrible events that the story opens with.

Meet Marie Johnston

Marie Johnston is a RITA® Finalist, and a best-selling and award-winning writer of paranormal and contemporary romance – and an avid reader of them both.

Several years ago, when kids started outnumbering adults in the house, Marie Johnston left her job as a public health microbiologist to stay at home. Settling into working part-time and shuttling kids around gave Marie the opportunity to think about what she wanted to be when she grew up. A die-hard science geek, she explored her previously thought to be non-existent creative side after much time spent making snowman crafts and coloring princesses. Having entertained thoughts of writing a book one day then subsequently deciding it would be too hard, she finally put the figurative pen to paper and began to type – and fell in love with story telling.

 

The Sigma Menace is the first series by Marie with Fever Claim being her first book EVER.  She is humbled by the fact that people are willing to read to her books and looks forward to keeping readers entertained for many years.

 

Marie lives with her husband and four kids in North Dakota where the summers are gorgeous, the winters are brutal, and spring and fall are luxuries.

The Trouble with Runaway Brides by Piper Rayne is now live! 

I should not still be hung up on my high school girlfriend.

I’m a billionaire, with a penthouse in New York City, a private plane, and was recently crowned one of Manhattan’s most eligible bachelors.

She’s engaged to my rival. A real prick of a guy whose family is about as famous as mine. So, pictures of the happy couple are plastered everywhere, and it’s driving me insane.

The last time I spoke to her was my freshman year of college, and I never imagined I’d bump into her at a crowded restaurant in the busiest city in the world. But fate had other plans, and when I innocently suggest that the press wouldn’t bother with her wedding plans if she held it in our small Alaskan town where we grew up, I had no idea she’d take me seriously.

Now, I find myself helping her plan the wedding at my dad’s luxury resort while the town’s gossip app follows our every move, afraid that their golden boy will get his heart broken twice by the same girl.

But that’s impossible because she stole my heart when we were fifteen, and never gave it back.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I did not want Lance and Kenzie’s story to end! The history, the feelings, the lingering chemistry, all the warm and fuzzy moments… I was enchanted by this couple!

This second-chance romance is a slow burn — Kenzie is engaged to Lance’s rival, so it’s a bumpy ride before they have a romantic reunion. And there is so much history between them, good and bad, that Kenzie and Lance have to muddle through. But that’s okay, because it’s an emotionally charged story that sucked me in and had me shipping this couple. It had the right amount of angst, along with the lighthearted moments I’ve come to love from Piper Rayne.

Emily Woo Zeller was a new narrator for me, and I quite enjoyed what she brought to the table. Aiden Snow, as always, performed perfectly in telling Lance’s story.
