📝 SINGLE WISH by Amy Knupp

🎤Narrated by Erin Mallon & Ryan West

Sometimes all it takes to spark a second chance is one single wish. Especially in this small town…

Magnolia

I’m not the spoiled rich girl I used to be. And if my new business succeeds, I’ll finally be able to prove it.

Too bad my first job is planning a wedding…in my sworn enemy’s barn.

There was a time when I cared about Luke Durham with my whole heart. But that died when he assumed the worst of me.

Now, we’re stuck working together. Failure? Not an option.

But everything would be so much easier if I could forget how good it felt to be loved by Luke instead of hated…

Luke

Running my farm and being a single dad doesn’t leave me much time for grudges.

But for Magnolia James, I might make an exception.

I lost so much because of her. Even my heart. Forgiveness? Not possible. 

So, I’ll work with her. But I will keep my mind—and my hands—off her.

Single Wish is here! Let the holiday magic begin!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

I jumped into the Single Dads of Dragonfly Lake series on book 3, but I have really enjoyed getting to know these guys. And Luke and Magnolia’s story hit all the right notes of an enemies-to-lovers, second-chance romance.

There is a lot of hurt and regret between these two characters, who once meant the world to each other. Magnolia was the rich girl growing up, and she’s worked hard to shed that reputation. Now she’s launching an event planning business, and her big job is working with her ex, Luke, on a wedding to take place at his barn. The tension between them is intense, and their reconciliation is a delicious slow burn that has you rooting for this couple to get it together and finally get back together.

They just have to sort through the regret, hurt, heartbreak, and betrayal that goes along with their complicated past.

Erin Mallon and Ryan West did a fantastic job with the duet narration of this book. They perfectly captured the complex emotions that both of these characters are dealing with, and I so enjoyed listening to them as I went on Luke and Magnolia’s journey.

I need a nanny. Not a distraction.

I certainly do not need a twentysomething man with a devastating smile, tattooed forearms, and an easy charm that could unravel a woman twice as composed as me.

But when my daughter gets kicked out of after-school care (again) and my flaky nanny ghosts us (again), Austin Calloway moves into the duplex next door—and right into our lives.

Now he’s helping with homework, cooking dinner shirtless, and showing up with coffee like he’s always belonged here.

He’s too young.

Too familiar.

Too good with my daughter.

Too close.

And the worst part? He sees through me—the cracks, the stress, the walls I’ve built to protect what’s mine.

The more I try to keep him out, the more I ache to let him in.

But letting someone in means risking everything.

He’s the wrong choice . . . unless we’re finally ready to see what happens when we fall.

Wow, Austin and Selene’s story was so good.

A hot fling with a sexy stranger at a bar turns into so much more when Austin ends up being Selene’s new next-door neighbor and part-time manny. The connection between these two was amazing, and I loved how they lifted each other up. Austin *saw* Selene, and gave her back the self-confidence she lost after her divorce. Being a single mother and running her museum restoration business has left her completely overwhelmed. Austin was an unexpected gift in her life. He was so amazing with both Selene and her precocious daughter, Winnie. And for Austin, Selene grounded him. He is Brody’s half-brother, but always felt less-than because he didn’t grow up with their father. For the first time, with Selene and Winnie, Austin felt like he fit in and found his place, and I loved that for him.

This is the second book in the Star Harbor series, so we get to know the friend group a bit better. (Selene is Ellie’s sister from Book 1.) Lena Hendrix also continues the Lady of the Dunes story, and I am really enjoying that mystery subplot.

If you love a golden retriever, he-falls-first hero, Austin is a winner!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

I was so happy that Wheeler — Mollie’s business partner in Bellamy Boots — got to be the heroine in a story, and I loved her romance with Duke.

Duke is the most unsettled of the Rivers brothers; he has a sense of wanderlust and an itching to leave the ranch that the other boys do not have. He definitely meets his match in Wheeler. There’s an instant connection between them, and after several months of flirting back and forth, Duke finally gets his chance for some one-on-one time with her when he accompanies Wheeler to Aspen for a trunk show. They get snowed in together when a blizzard hits during their road trip, and several weeks later, Wheeler learns she’s pregnant.

I adored the connection between these two. Duke was looking for something “more” — something that would fulfill him in a way nothing else has. Wheeler, meanwhile, is riddled with insecurities that stem from drama with her family, and in Duke and the rest of the Rivers gang, she finds that she fits in in a way that she never has with her own. The banter between these two was fire, and the chemistry jumped off the page. Duke breaks through all of Wheeler’s walls, and it’s a beautiful journey for them both as they ultimately find fulfillment in the family they create.

So far, Duke is my favorite Rivers brother!

Holding You by Jami Rogers is now live!

I consider us enemies, but he has no idea why.

Declan Young—single dad, friend to all three of my brothers, and the man who can’t walk into a room without getting under my skin. He’s too confident, too charming, and from the day he moved back to our small town, the golden boy everyone adores.

Growing up, he was older, and I thought of him only as my rival. I still do … except now he’s hotter, infuriatingly helpful, and living next door. Oh, and his daughter? Best friends with my son. Which means Declan is suddenly everywhere—in my kitchen, in my backyard, in my head when I’m trying to sleep.

When I invite them to live in my basement for the summer, I tell myself it’s about helping out, but the extra income is an added bonus I desperately need to take my life back 

It’s my house. My rules.

But Declan has this way of looking at me like I’m the only thing in the room that matters.

And the more I see him as a father, the more dangerous he becomes to my heart.

I thought I was in control.

Turns out, love doesn’t play by any rules—especially mine.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Declan and Ruby’s story was full of fun, flirty banter, and I enjoyed it so much!

Single parents Declan and Ruby both move back to their small hometown around the same time and end up being next-door neighbors, and their kids, Max and Susie, become instant best friends. Even though Declan is a few years older than her, Ruby doesn’t like him, and Declan has no idea why. Her sass and spice and the barbs she tosses at him are like foreplay for these two, and things really heat up when Declan ends up moving into Ruby’s basement for a few weeks while his house is finished. Movie nights with the kids, family dinners, and all the small everyday minutiae cement that there is something more between these two than Ruby’s hate of Declan.

During a trip to Vegas with the rest of the Asher clan, things change between Declan and Ruby — but when they bring what happened in Vegas back home with them, pressures from Declan’s work life threaten to burst their happy bubble.

I really loved how the bromance developed between Declan and Ruby’s ex, Colt. And the friendship between the kids, Max and Susie, was just too cute, and I was so happy to see them become one big, happy family at the end!

From USA Today Bestselling Author Claudia Burgoa comes a fake-dating holiday romance filled with slow-burn tension, awkward family dinners, and one grumpy man who might just ruin Christmas for anyone else.

All I agreed to was a fake relationship.

A weekend of pretending I’m in love with my grumpy, emotionally constipated, private-jet-commuting neighbor.

Easy, right?

Except nothing about Soren Thorn is easy.

He doesn’t believe in horoscopes, hates throw pillows, and treats feelings like they’re contagious.

He’s all sighs, black coffee, and unreadable expressions—and for reasons I still don’t understand, he needs me to be his girlfriend for one very public, very awkward family event.

I thought I could handle it.

Play the part. Make it cute.

But then he started trusting me—with real pieces of himself.

Now I know his favorite coffee, some of his secrets, and the exact look he gives when he’s about to self-destruct but pretends he’s fine.

And I’m starting to realize this whole fake dating thing might be getting too . . . well, not fake.

Because I don’t just want to survive the weekend.

I want to know what it would feel like if none of it were pretend.

What to expect:

Grumpy / Sunshine

Neighbors to Lovers

Fake Relationship Shenanigans

Holiday Mayhem (yes, it starts at Halloween )

Frenemies to Lovers

Opposites Attract

Small Town Shenanigans

Rival Families à la Romeo & Juliet (but with way more kissing)

If you love holiday stories that are a little spicy, a little swoony, and a lot dysfunctional… this one’s for you.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

This book was so cute! Grumpy/sunshine, quirky/straight-laced, fake-dating, frenemies, neighbors whose families have a complicated history back home in their small town, all wrapped up in a holiday package.

When Soren, who is a bit allergic to his family, needs to return home for his sister’s engagement party, he proposes a fake relationship to his next-door neighbor Winnifred, who, as it happens, needs a new boyfriend to get her mom off her back. There is a sizzle between these two from the very start, and I enjoyed how they developed real feelings through their fake relationship.

It bugged me a bit when Soren freaked out and disappeared, but the text messages between them and how that furthered their getting to know one another better made up for it.

I loved Soren and Winnifred’s road to a real romance (ah, that he called her “Win” and not “Fred” like everyone else was my favorite!), and Jason Clarke and Grace Grant did a fantastic job in portraying all the nuances of this enemies-to-lovers story.

A gruff, divorced NFL coach meets his match in an equally grumpy, commitment-phobic neighbor in this warm-hearted and witty romance about family, second chances, and overcoming the past.

You’d think it was the perfect living next door to the grumpy single dad who needs my help with his troublemaking kids—just until football season is over. Swoony stuff, right?

You know who’s not swooning? Me.

I’m as grumpy as he is, and I’m fairly certain that for NFL Coach Barrett King, it was hate at first sight. It’s nothing I’ll lose sleep over because 1) the feeling is mutual, and 2) I’m not a people person. Just me and my dog, Larry, moving around when the mood strikes, is what I prefer.

Except I start getting attached. First to the kids. Then to their father. I don’t know why. He’s overbearing. His attempts at flirting are just growls and glares. But if I ever see that man smile…well, I might tear all his clothes off.

I don’t do forever. And Barrett—serious, thoughtful, sexier than he has any right to be—doesn’t do short term. We’re headed straight for disaster.

But it we’re willing to take a risk, maybe this story won’t end in heartbreak. Maybe what started as the perfect setup for two imperfect people just might end in love.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

As soon as I met Barrett in Lessons In Heartbreak, I wanted to see what kind of woman was going to get through to the grumpy single dad and make the NFL coach into a puddle, twist him inside out to the point that he didn’t quite know what to do with himself. Never did I imagine that the woman who would steal Barrett’s heart would be a grumpy loner herself with an aversion to staying in one place for too long.

But, MAN, were Barrett and Lily perfect together!

I absolutely loved the connection Lily made with Barrett’s kids, Maggie and Bryce, at first. Having met the kids as Griffin’s niece and nephew in the first book, I was so glad to spend more time with these two troublemakers. And Lily just got them, and they got her, and that made my heart happy. Because as much as Barrett loves his kids, the guy is a workaholic, and Lily filled a void in their life. Especially for precocious Maggie.

This book was such a delicious slooooow burn, but then Barrett and Lily get snowed in together and BAM! It. Is. On.

Their love is messy and kind of all over the place, and for every step forward these two took, it was three steps back. Barrett was so sweet with Lily when she went through a difficult situation with her a-hole dog, and neither one of them knew what to do with that sweetness, which I found so endearing. I also really enjoyed how Lily brought Barrett and Griffin back together again, and the twins began to repair their relationship as Griffin gave his brother relationship advice.

This book was perfect! I received a complimentary copy and voluntarily left a review.

BEAUTIFULLY SURPRISE by ASHLEY JAMES is AVAILABLE NOW

Blurb:

When I wake up next to my best friend’s brother after a night of bottom shelf tequila and a sizzling one night stand, I do my best to pretend the whole thing never happened.

Until six weeks later, when two pink lines derail my every plan.

Not only is Graham Astor the brother to my three closest friends and the boy I secretly crushed on for years as a teenager, but he’s also a single dad and a grieving widower.

With a new career on my horizon, I don’t have time for complicated or messy—everything Graham and this news brings—and yet, when he expresses how much he wants this, I can’t deny how much I do too.

Even if that means I might wind up heartbroken later.

Navigating this new reality and everything that comes along with it quickly becomes a test of my willpower and self-control as he continues to say all the right things and shows up for me, even when I don’t ask him to. The more time we spend together, the harder it is to keep my feelings out of it.

Especially when I move in with him, and the memory of his hot breath on my neck and the weight of his body on mine haunts me, reminding me of the blazing chemistry we shared.

I tell myself I won’t fall in love with Graham—not again—I swear, I won’t.

But then he looks at me the way he does, or he talks to my belly, telling our growing baby how lucky he is to be their dad, or I watch how incredible he is with his daughter, and it’s impossible not to.

It’s impossible not to picture what our life could be like together, in love and as a family.

But then I think about how the truth of our beautiful little surprise, and all the history we share, will come out eventually.

What if the fantasy in my head is as close as I’ll ever get to being loved by him?

I loved this final book in the Blossom Beach series! Ashley James isn’t an author I was very familiar with before I read this series, and I was absolutely hooked. (I even branched out to other books in her catalog after starting the Blossom Beach books). I really enjoyed spending time with these siblings, and Graham and Charley’s story was everything!

This second-chance romance hit all the right notes with the mutual pining between Graham and Charley. They had a short-lived, secret relationship the summer before Charley went off to college, and this book played that history beautifully against their present-day pregnancy that came after a one-night stand when both characters were up in their feelings and dealing with bad news regarding their respective exes.

I wasn’t sure at first why Charley thought her best friends/Graham’s sisters would be so against the relationship, but as the story delved deeper into her background (explaining why she was kind of emotionally stunted as a result of her parents’ relationship), I got it. So I was so happy to see Graham be an absolute rock for her every step of the way.

Teddy Hamilton and Vanessa Edwin were fantastic with this duet audio. I loved the vulnerability they both showed in voicing these characters, as well as the spicier, sexy moments.

She is from Washington State—and no, not Seattle—and currently resides in South Carolina with her two kids and hairless kitties, Goose, Maverick, and Houston.

There’s an unspoken rule in hockey: don’t date your teammates’ little sister.

Dating the coach’s little sister might be even worse. Not to mention bro code, which clearly states a best friend’s little sister is off limits.  

And I’m definitely prohibited from dating the owner of the team. 

But what if before she was any of those things, she was the woman who turned my world upside down? What if she’s the woman I shared the three best days of my life with, then spent years searching for? 

Sienna Langfield is all of those things, and now that I’ve figured out who she is, I can’t walk away. 

Problem is, I’m not the same man I was all those years ago. I’m now a single dad and my son and I are a package deal. On top of that, I’m in the midst of contract negotiations with the team she owns.

With four older brothers and a roster of reasons working against us, dating her would be dangerous. But serendipity has a way of reminding us both that I belong with that beauty.

What you will find inside this book:

• Brother’s Best Friend
• Right Person, Wrong Time
• Second Chance
• Girl Boss
• Single Dad
• He Wears Glasses 😉
• Professional Hockey
• Langfield Group Chats

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Beauty wraps up the Boston Bolts series by Brittanee Nicole, and while I didn’t read all of the books in this universe, Noah and Sienna’s story was by far my favorite.

The first 12 chapters or so take place six years in the past, when Sierra and Noah meet while on solo vacations in the Bahamas. Their lives are each on the cusp of major changes — he’s about to become a dad thanks to a one-night stand, and she’s about to take off for Paris to explore being a fashion designer. They never exchange last names, so they have no idea how closely entwined their lives are. But their past gets very complicated when, years later, Sienna becomes the CEO of the Bolts and Noah’s new boss.

Despite all the odds stacked against him, Noah is so determined to win Sienna over. I absolutely loved how BN brought the movie Serendipity into this story. During all their years apart, Noah searched every single dollar bill he came across, hoping he’d find the one that Sienna wrote her number on. And Sienna never stopped searching, every time she found one of Hannah’s books, for the inscription Noah had written to her with his number. That was so swoony, especially the reveal of just how far Noah had gone to try to reach Sienna over the years.

Noah was the bookiest boyfriends of all book boyfriends. Total golden retriever, green flag energy, and with the dirtiest mouth I’ve seen in a BN hero. I loved how dedicated he was to Sienna during their time apart, and how he just knew there would never be anyone else for him. Meanwhile, Sienna had gotten caught up in a bit of a scandal (involving War’s stepbrother — I loved that connection), and she’s very wary. Noah was so patient and such a steady presence for Sienna.

And the secret matching tattoos!

This book was so wonderfully written. Not just the story arcs of the main characters, but their relationships with her brothers, as well. That chapter with Sienna’s brothers’ POV was a sweet treat! And I couldn’t get enough of the Langfield family group chats.

What a great conclusion to this series, and the epilogue gave a fantastic teaser for the spinoff coming next, starting out with Camden Snow!

YULE BE MINE by Piper Rayne is AVAILABLE NOW

When workaholic best man Carter arrives in Mistletoe Falls for his best friends’ Christmas wedding, a town-wide Santa Festival and a misplaced motel reservation leave him with one option—beg the woman he once rejected for a room at her bed-and-breakfast. Unfortunately, that woman also happens to be the bride’s sister…and the maid of honor.

To make matters worse, the bride and groom are delayed, turning Ashley and Carter into last-minute wedding planners, forced into a truce neither of them wants. But late-night checklists, a blizzard of holiday activities, and a charming small town turn their snark into sparks.

When they get snowed in and every near-kiss feels dangerously close to something real, Carter realizes there’s more to December than year-end deadlines.

As their truce melts, one question remains—is this a holiday fling, or the start of forever?

YULE BE MINE is available now in KU & Audio!

https://books2read.com/YBM

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I have loved Piper Rayne’s holiday books over the last couple of years, and I adored Carter and Ashley’s story!

Several months before the book takes place, Carter and Ashley had a date that seemed to go well… until it didn’t. Which makes it awkward when he heads to help plan the wedding of his best friend and her twin sister and ends up having to crash at Ashley’s B&B. Thanks to a bunch of Santas and a freak blizzard, Carter and Ashley face their past and jump into a future together.

The book is fast-paced, and kind of instalove, as it takes place over the course of a week or two. Christine Lakin and Sean Masters were perfect as Ashley and Carter. (Gah, her name was buzzing around in my head, so I looked her up, and it is the same actress from that 1990s TV show Step By Step!) They were both fun and flirty with these characters, and I enjoyed listening to them narrate the story!

This book is a standalone connected to the other four holiday books, so there are some appearances by Carter’s siblings. It’s not as girthy as some of PR’s other books, but Yule Be Mine definitely packs a punch and is totally bingeable for some festive feel-good reading.
