HEARTBREAKER

Kat Mizera & Elise Faber

Release Date: March 10

She was just supposed to be a one-night stand…

But then she became my world.

Once, I was the lead guitarist of the hit rock band, Midnight Sun. Then a tragic accident took everything from me. I can no longer play guitar, my wife left me, and the future I worked so hard for is slipping away.

All I am now is a grumpy, infamous, former rockstar.

So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that I’m not in the market for a woman, especially not Jade Cantrell—who’s as beautiful and talented as she is sweet.

Then the media pounces on a story about the two of us, and suddenly we’re zipping off to a mountain retreat and writing an album together.

I can’t keep it strictly business—no matter how hard I try.

And the more I get to know her, the more I know I don’t have any hope of keeping her out of my heart.

One night will never be enough.

I’m going to keep her forever.

When the Game Breakers meet more than hearts will be broken…

They’ll claim, protect, and…maybe just rock their women’s worlds.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

I loved Royal and Jade’s story and binged it in a day. Opposites attract in the best way between the bad boy of rock & roll and the good girl of country music.

Not only did this book really do the grumpy/sunshine trope well, but the writers also handled Royal’s disability well. (I wish there was more backstory to the accident that injured him, but I’m guessing that was in a previous book.) There is a lovely arc of growth for both Royal and Jade. She really comes into her own as an artist and on a personal level, goes from having nobody in her corner to being surrounded by Royal’s band of brothers and found family. Royal begins to see his self-worth again through Jade and their songwriting, and I loved seeing him bloom as they worked together and fell in love.

The first book in this series was a miss for me — I just couldn’t connect with those characters — but Royal and Jade hooked me in from the first moment and totally redeemed this collab for me. I am looking forward to the rest of this series!

FINN by Ashley James is AVAILABLE NOW

Blurb:

Falling for my girlfriend’s twin brother wasn’t what I had in mind when I hired him to be my son’s nanny.

Working on my family’s cattle ranch, the hours are long, and sometimes unpredictable, so when my regular nanny quits, leaving me in a pinch, I have to think fast.

In walks Ash Tudor.

My opposite in almost every way.

He’s cheerful and bubbly, has horrible taste in music, and does yoga in my yard almost every morning in the tightest shorts I’ve ever seen.

Not that I’m looking.

But it’s none of those things that have me scratching my head and second guessing everything I thought I knew about myself.

No… it’s the fact that he’s a him and I can’t seem to keep my eyes away, no matter how confusing that may be.

I’m nearly thirty, and never once have I looked at another man the way I catch myself looking at him.

The feelings and urges growing inside of me make no sense, and then when he gets a special delivery to the house of items he plans to use on himself, I can’t stop imagining him doing just that… Or imagining me using them on him.

But confusion and curiosity aside, I can’t fall into bed with my son’s nanny.

Doing so would be reckless and irresponsible.

No matter how tempting it may be.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Finn was a really well-done, emotional book of finding love in the place where you least expect it. Finn and Ash’s story had a lot of depth to it, and that extended well beyond the forbidden factor of Finn being Ash’s twin sister’s ex. Amid the flirtations and surprising feelings for one another, both of these characters go through a lot of growth throughout their relationship.

Finn is left in a lurch when his nanny unexpectedly quits on him. Around the same time, Ash loses his job as a teacher due to cutbacks. Problem solved for both of them when Finn’s girlfriend, Violet, recommends her twin brother for the nanny job. Finn and Ash definitely get off on the wrong foot, but with few options and in desperate need for someone to take care of his son, Finn hires him to be Tucker’s nanny.

Finn is as rugged of a cowboy as they come, so it was a shock to him when he began feeling zings for Ash. A tentative friendship forms at first between them, and Finn doesn’t quite know what to do with the feelings he’s developing. Meanwhile, when sassy Ash picks up on Finn’s looks and lingers, he starts pushing buttons, eventually leading Finn to give in to his hang-ups.

Meanwhile, Ash and Violet have a rather complex sibling relationship, and his romance with Finn causes even more problems between them. His estrangement with Violet opens up old wounds for Ash, and leads to a lovely scene between him and Finn that I thought was a real turning point in their relationship and Finn’s unexpected commitment to Ash.

The audiobook is a dual narration by Alex Kydd (Ash) and Gregory Salinas (Finn), who did a great job of playing up the chemistry between the characters as well as the tender moments. Gregory really has the grumpy, broody cowboy thing down pat!

📚SINGLE CHANCE by Amy Knupp is NOW LIVE in book & audio

🎤Narrated by Emma Wilder & Sebastian York

Sometimes all you get is a single chance to turn a surprise into happily ever after…

Chance

One night. That’s all I wanted.

A single night to forget I’m a widowed single dad with a million responsibilities and a ton of emotional baggage. To remember what it’s like to just be a man.

I didn’t need any extra drama in my life. Romantic complications? No thanks. But after that night, everything changed. Forever…

Rowan

Having a one-night stand with a sexy, older stranger was not part of my plan.

All I wanted out of this small town was a place to recover. A fresh start. Maybe even a little New Year’s Eve fun.

I had no way of knowing my hot hookup would be my new co-worker.

Or that I was actually way more fertile than I’d been led to believe…

Preorder this age gap, single dad, small town romance now, listen March 7:

▶️ https://www.audible.com/pd/Single-Chance-Audiobook/B0DTQF2BDX

🎧Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars 🎧

When Rowan and Chance meet at an 80s-themed New Year’s Eve party and have a one-night stand, they never expect to see each other in the office of the brewery that he owns. Or that their bc failed that night, and they are now expecting a baby together.

As a single dad to a 14-year-old who can’t stand him most days, Chance has enough on his plate. But he steps up big time for his new colleague/former fling and offers Rowan a place to stay when she runs out of housing options in Dragonfly Lake. Chance is rather twisted up because of the way his first marriage ended, and while he’s vowed to be there for Rowan as a co-parent, he is hesitant to get romantically involved. But the more time they spend together as housemates, the more Chance is drawn to her. And when the lines he’s drawn for himself get messy one night, will he toss away the best thing that’s happened to him, or take the chance that he’s been given?

Sebastian York is a classic and I loved listening to him and Emma Wilder narrate this story. I also loved the friendship Rowan developed with Sam, and how having another woman to confide in around the house helped heal what was broken between Sam and her dad.

Amy Knupp is a new-to-me author, but I quite liked this story. It’s part of a series with interconnected characters who make up Chance’s found family. I loved the support system he had in his friends and how they immediately adopted Rowan into the fold.

THE SOUND OF FOREVER by Claudia Burgoa is AVAILABLE NOW!

https://geni.us/TheSoundofForever

From USA Today Bestselling Author Claudia Burgoa comes a heart-wrenching, beautifully layered romance about love, loss, and the unexpected paths that bring us together. With a surprise guardianship, a brooding musician, and a slow-burn connection that will make your heart ache and soar.

Morning yoga classes. Afternoon tea. Peaceful evenings in my perfectly curated apartment. My life was calm, predictable—exactly how I like it.

Until one call shattered my carefully built world.

My sister and I were never close, but her unexpected death left me with more than just grief. It left me her daughter, a girl with wide brown eyes and enough questions to break my heart. Now, I’m thrust into a life I never planned, juggling motherhood and grief.

But if that’s not enough, I meet Keane Stone—a man with a past as broken as mine.

He’s a musician hiding from the world, scarred by a tragedy he can’t forget.

He doesn’t want my help, and I certainly don’t have time for his demons.

But life has other plans.

Somewhere between his haunted melodies and my niece’s innocent laughter, I find myself drawn to him. He’s infuriating, closed-off, and completely unexpected.

Yet, the more I push him away, the more I realize he might be the one to help me rebuild my shattered world.

But how do you heal when the pieces you’re holding don’t seem to fit?

And what happens when the past refuses to stay silent?

The Sound of Forever is a story of healing, hope, and finding family in the most unexpected places.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

The Sound of Forever is a follow-up standalone to The Fault In Forever. Admittedly, I wasn’t much of a fan of Keane’s while reading TFiF — until I got to that bonus chapter from his POV. So I was very excited that he was getting his own book, because I really wanted this broody, broken musician to start living life again after his five-year coma and find his other half.

And he finds that in Julianna. They seem to be a very unlikely pair — he’s a loner and she’s a free-spirited yoga instructor. At least at first glance. But these two characters are both dealing with so much grief and are unsure how to manage their current station in life. Keane is trying to piece himself back together after a life-changing car accident. I loved getting to know him through his journal entries while he was in rehab, and getting inside his head to see just how devastated he was by the way things fell apart with Ophelia. Meanwhile, Julianna has suddenly and unexpectedly found herself the guardian of her estranged sister’s daughter. She and Rayne are strangers to one another, struggling with navigating their new situation. Then in comes Keane, and he somehow manages to bridge the gap between them. All the while, Julianna helps Keane realize there’s more for him in life than what he’s resigned himself to after his accident. She and Rayne make him want to be a better person. And together, these three broken souls heal one another.

Parts of this story felt rushed to me, and I thought there was an unnecessary road bump with Rayne’s biological father that came out of nowhere. The story would have been fine without that twist, in my opinion. I was much more invested in Julianna repairing her relationship with her own estranged father, and I would have liked to have seen more of that. But at its core, The Sound of Forever was a lovely story about grief, healing, hope, and second chances.

From Nowhere by Jewel E. Ann is now live!

From Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Jewel E. Ann comes the exciting second novel in the Wildfire series, an emotional romance that burns up the page as it tugs at the heart.

When Maren Bernabe stops by the office to update some paperwork, she’s not looking for love. Then sparks fly during an awkward meet-cute with a stranger in the bathroom, and suddenly anything seems possible.

A seasoned air tanker pilot, Maren battles fires across the rugged Montana wilderness. With firefighters for roommates, she’s no stranger to tough guys—or tough situations. Ozzy Laster is the helpful stranger she meets, one of Cielo Aviation’s newest aircraft mechanics who’s faced his fair share of hardship too. Two years ago, his wife and father died in a car crash. Now Ozzy and daughter Lola shun cars in favor of bikes.

Maren and Ozzy fall hard, but guilt forces them to hide their relationship from Ozzy’s disapproving in-laws. And Lola. They all want to protect her from more heartbreak. But when tragedy strikes again, Lola’s reaction will surprise them all. And Ozzy could get a second chance at love after all…

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

From Nowhere was a wonderfully emotional story with great characters, a wonderful storyline, and messy, imperfect characters that are perfectly imperfect together.

The second book in the Wildfire series, From Nowhere focuses on the roommate Maren, a tanker pilot, and Ozzy, a single dad who works at Cielo as a mechanic on the planes. From their *very* memorable and awkward meet-cute to the tears in the middle and that well-deserved happily ever after, I loved this book so much!

Ozzy had gone through so much with the tragic death of his wife in a car accident that left his young daughter Lola emotionally and physically scarred. He is such a good dad, and the lengths he went through to help his daughter deal with her trauma were amazing. He was just kind of wandering through life, not really living, until he meets Maren in the restroom at work. And while Lola’s issues could have caused some women to run far, far away, they drew Maren closer to this single dad and his sweet little girl.

Ozzy is so swoony and romantic, and Maren is so patient with both him and Lola. I was cheering hard for this pair, especially through everything that his former mother-in-law, Tia, threw at them.

By the end of this book, all of the characters had gone on a wild ride and found healing, and I loved where they ended up. Having read From Air, I also loved seeing Fitz and Jamie get married and start their life together.

📚FINDING HOME by Lauren Rowe

🎤Narrated by Andi Arndt & Sean Masters

Listen to this spicy, single dad, rockstar romance now:

▶️ https://amzn.to/3BZ9t6C

I’m Caleb Baumgarten, the “bad boy” drummer of Red Card Riot. The world knows me as C-Bomb, but I assure you, it’s Lil Miss Rule Follower, Aubrey Capshaw, of Prairie Springs, Montana, who’s the human equivalent of an atomic bomb.

After tragedy strikes and the toddler with half my DNA inside her loses her beloved mommy, I get the bright idea to hire my daughter’s remaining lifeline, her “Auntie Aubrey,” as my live-in nanny. Also, embarrassingly, as my sobriety coach, so I can fulfill the terms of my mandatory rehab.

Going into my forced living arrangement with Aubrey in her small town, I’m determined not to give in to my growing, thumping, white-hot attraction. There’s only a month before the custody hearing that will decide my fate as a father, and I’ll need Aubrey to testify on my behalf. Well, you know what they say about best laid plans, right? Yeah. My bad.

All it takes is one glimpse of Aubrey in her underwear, and I can’t stop myself from obsessing over her. I fully expected Aubrey and me to scorch the walls of my bedroom, once I finally got her into my bed.

What I didn’t expect, however, was that Aubrey would become the center of my universe, along with my small daughter. My family. My home. Which is why, when danger threatens, I don’t hesitate to protect my new family with everything I’ve got.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I love a good redemption story, and Caleb’s was great from start to finish. Amid court-ordered rehab, the bad boy drummer of Red Card Riot is suddenly thrust into being a single father when his daughter’s mother (who was a fan he had a one-night stand with) suddenly passes away. Caleb hires Raine’s “aunt” Aubrey to be both his sobriety coach and nanny, and our forced-proximity, opposites attract romance begins….

I felt like a part was missing where Aubrey decided to cross the line with Caleb; I thought he was dreaming it until I went back to relisten. I wanted more of a recognition of feelings or something, I guess. Despite me wanting more of a build-up, I thought it was a great progression of their romance. I loved how his feelings for Aubrey just kind of hit Caleb all of a sudden, and then the guy who never wanted a relationship couldn’t imagine his life without Aubrey in it.

And oh my heart. The way Caleb took to Daddy Mode was so cute. He really went all out in making sure that Raine felt protected and secure. There are some twists and turns along the way with the custody fight, which kept me further invested in wanting Caleb to keep his found family unit together.

I’ve read several Lauren Rowe books now, including Smitten, one of the 22 Goats books. Finding Home is a standalone, but there are many camoes from the other characters in LR’s rockstar world, which I’m sure longtime readers will love and appreciate.

The duet narration by Andi Arndt and Sean Masters was great! I thought Sean nailed the growliness and cockiness of Caleb, and Andi perfectly played the sweetness of Audrey.

FAKING THE SHOT by Kendall Hale is AVAILABLE NOW

Blurb:

After my divorce, I swore off dating.

No commitments, no complications—just a clean, quiet life.

So when I’m assigned to fix Kaden Crawford—the grumpy hockey star with a reputation as the league’s biggest PR disaster—I’m determined to keep things strictly professional.

But Kaden has a knack for creating chaos.

The solution?

Staging a fake relationship to save his reputation.

My answer should’ve been a hard “no.” But somehow, I’m tangled up in his mess—sharing staged kisses, dodging cameras, and trying to ignore the sparks we can’t control.

The plan was simple: clean up his image and move on.

But the more we fake it, the messier it all becomes.

The line between real and pretend is blurring, and I’m risking everything for a man I swore I’d never fall for.

Faking The Shot is the first book in the Crawford Family Playbook series, featuring a determined divorcee publicist rebuilding her life—one play at a time—while facing off against a grumpy hockey player who’s more trouble than he’s worth… or so she thinks.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

This book went from the cutest meet-cute at a coffee shop trivia night to an enemies-to-lovers book! Bad boy hockey player Kaden is on his last chance and needs a reputation rehab. Divorcee Valentina is on his PR team, but never expects to be the fake girlfriend planted by the team to change the public’s opinion of Kaden. And neither of them ever expected to fall hard and fast for the other.

These two characters had great banter. Val kept Kaden on his toes and wasn’t afraid to lob back the insults when he was being grumpy and broody. I really liked how Kaden let down his walls around her and showed Val a side of him that he usually reserves only for his family. And in turn, Kaden broke through the barrier she’d erected around herself after her divorce. Although they are pretending to date for the public, lines get blurred and behind closed doors, Kaden and Val find themselves not really pretending after all. But can Kaden convince Val to take a chance on something real with him?

Faking The Shot kicks off a new series about the Crawford family siblings, but it is a spinoff of Kendall Hale’s Happily Ever After Mishaps series — Val is the sister of Noelle from The Night Before Grumpmas and works with Noelle’s husband Jacob. I loved getting to catch up with those two characters, and getting to meet Kaden’s siblings! I can’t wait to see what comes next in this series!

📝 FAKE THE GAME by Julia Jarrett

🎤Narrated by Heather Firth & Dane Anderson

Download this fake dating sports romance now:

▶️

I’m the bad boy of baseball. And she’s the good girl who’s meant to repair my image. Falling in love with my pretend girlfriend is not part of the plan…

My life is a mess. My career is in serious jeopardy because of one stupid decision that had disastrous results. I’m stuck on the injured list, for who knows how long, and losing endorsements because of my reckless behaviour.

It’s only a matter of time before my team decides I’m too much trouble to keep around

The last thing I should be doing is swooping in to rescue a perfect stranger from some jerk at a bar – because of course a photo gets taken of her in my arms.

Now the last shot I have at holding onto everything that matters, is a curvy redhead who has no idea who I am and isn’t all that impressed by the mess I’ve thrown her into.

For some reason Sadie agrees to help me, and now I’m forced to spend time with a woman who might be the only person to see the real me. A lot of time. Even more so when she moves into my apartment.

With every fake date we go on, her warmth and smiles start to chip away at the ice around my heart. But what can I offer a woman like her? I’m nothing but a reckless asshole and a cocky baseball player with a past I’d rather no one knew about. I don’t let people get close to me, I don’t do relationships.

But when our arrangement comes to an end, I can’t bring myself to walk away.

How can I convince my fake girlfriend to give me a real chance when the secrets from my past won’t stay hidden?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Julia Jarrett is a new-to-me author; Fake The Game is the second book I’ve listened to of hers, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first in this series, Break The Rules.

Maverick and Sadie start out as a fake relationship for a publicity stunt to clean up his image, but there is so much more to this bad boy of baseball than what the public thinks of him! Little by little, we get to see the real Maverick underneath the facade, and the guy runs deep. I loved the vulnerability he showed with Sadie. The guy is carrying around some major trauma as a result of his childhood — and while his past ultimately impacts their relationship moving forward, it doesn’t take him long to realize how good of a thing he has with Sadie and put in the work to make sure he can right the wrong he made.

Sadie gets something out of their fake relationship as well: getting her ex off her back. She grows so much during her time with Maverick, and it was wonderful to see her stand up to her slimy ex. (And I think when Maverick went all alpha on him, it was one of my favorite scenes!)

Narrators Heather Firth and Dane Anderson are not ones that I am very familiar with, but I completely got swept away listening to them. Dane’s deep, growly voice was mesmerizing; I loved listening to him capture Maverick’s angst, insecurities, and trust issues. Likewise, Heather did a great job in voicing Sadie’s genuine care for Maverick as she got to know the man underneath the bad boy,

I am really enjoying this series! I can’t wait for the next one. I received an advanced listening copy and voluntarily left a review.

Here and Now by Corinne Michaels is now live!

But when my son’s incredibly hot hockey coach Miles Anderson walks in, things get very, very complicated.

With his charming smile and our accidental dates, he’s the exact opposite of any man I’ve ever dated. That should make saying yes to being with him simple, but nothing in my life is easy.

In fact, it’s a mess.

Miles makes me smile and treats my son like his own. When we’re together, I forget about my troubles and dream of a life that I will never be able to have with him.

It’s only a matter of time until the past comes knocking and I’ll have to leave, breaking us both in the process.

Duet Narration by Jason Clarke & Angelina Rocca

Goodreads: https://geni.us/HAN_GR

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Perfection! I was sucked into Miles and Penny’s story from the first page, and stayed up well past midnight reading it because i had to finish it. I love a bachelor who finds the one he can’t stop thinking about, and once Miles set his sights on Penny, there was no turning back!

This story was just so sweet. “Coincidental” dates, passing notes back and forth like teenagers, Miles hating coffee but buying it just so he could see Penny… it all warmed my heart. But knowing that Penny was hiding her true identity just compounded all my feelings about this pair! Who is she hiding from? What happened in her past? Will she ever really let herself get involved and invested with Miles?

I equally loved the relationship Miles built with Kai, and how much he took the little boy’s feelings into consideration every step of the way, from their official first date to asking for Kai’s blessing by the end of the book.’

Longtime readers of Corinne Michaels will appreciate Here & Now’s connection to her Salvation series — Penny’s brother, Quinn, is from the Indefinite/Infinite duet and he works for Jackson Cole at Cole Securities, so there are some nice cameos from those characters. I also loved the Easter egg that Penny had lived in Rose Canyon!
