A Wild Heart, an all-new single mom second chance standalone romance full of heat and emotion from USA Today bestselling author Amie Knight is available now!

I lost a huge piece of myself the day my husband was killed in action.
In the months that followed, I felt like my grief would swallow me whole.
My only solace was my daughter, whose bright light guided me through the darkest of times.

I never wanted to meet someone else.
I vowed to never fall in love again, especially with a marine.

It was supposed to be no strings attached and for a while it was.
But Weston Reeves’s grumpy soul called to my tortured one.
Maybe it was the midnight rides on his bike or the way that only I could make him smile.
He lit me up, set my body afire, and for the first time in five years made me feel alive.

Our relationship was probably the worst gamble I’d ever taken.
But my stupid, wild heart needed him, even if our love was destined to burn me to ashes.

Excerpt

“I just came by to say that a couple of weeks ago was a mistake and it can’t happen again.” I chewed on my bottom lip.
What in the ever-loving hell was wrong with me?
His lip twitched as I heard what sounded like a snort come from his nose. Then he turned away from me and headed back into his stupid garage.
“Did you just snort at me?” I shrieked.
This time he shook his head and chuckled low, completely ignoring me, and went back to work on his bike like I wasn’t even there.
And because I was completely insane, I followed him into that garage and stood a foot from him. “Did you hear what I said? I said it was a mistake. The whole thing. The entire night.”
He nodded, not even looking up from his bike. “I heard you, babe.”
I swung back on the heels of my sneakers. “Well, good.” I turned on those same heels to get out of there like the fires of hell were licking at them.
“But that ain’t why you came all the way out here,” he said so lowly I almost didn’t hear him.
I turned, staring at him even as he continued to ignore me for tinkering with something on his bike. “Excuse me?”
“You heard me,” he said, standing up and finally looking at me. “You didn’t come over here just to tell a one-night stand the whole thing was a mistake.” He prowled toward me slowly, still cleaning his hands with that rag nonchalantly like he wasn’t coming toward me like a lion stalking its prey.
And I’d somehow managed to corner myself in the back of his garage, as far away as possible from the garage opening. Still, I raised my chin and straightened my spine. “Why the hell did I come all the way out here then?” I started walking myself backward even though I was putting on a brave face.
Tell me. Tell me why I came all the way out here and give it to me. Make me forget.
When he’d finally cornered me in the garage right next to what appeared to be the door to enter his house, he smiled like the cat that ate the canary and my skin prickled even as I felt my nipples harden beneath my shirt.
Oh, God.
He dropped the dirty rag and brought his hands up on either side of my head, caging me in against the wall. “Come on, baby.” He ran his nose down the length of mine and my breath caught. “We both know why you came here.”
I lifted my chin in pretend defiance when all I wanted to do was lick the seam of his gorgeous, supple lips.
“Hmmm, what did I come here for then?” I whispered, feeling dizzy and hot, a deep ache between my legs that I’d never felt before.
He smelled like motor oil and soap and God, it took everything in my power not to grind against his leg that was pushed between mine.
He gave me a barely there smile that never quite met his eyes. “You came here because you missed me,” he growled, moving further into my body even though I’d thought we were as close as two people would get.
My nipples rubbed against his chest and I could feel his heart beating against my own. Our breaths mingled as I trembled against him, but he was wrong. I hadn’t missed him. But I had missed this.
I gave him a smile of my own as I moved my hand between us and rubbed the hard length of him, squeezing at the base. “Oh, honey, I haven’t missed you a bit, but I have missed him.”
A low chuckle echoed throughout the garage that sent goose bumps across my skin before, suddenly, my body was turned, my front pushed crudely against the wall until I was forced to turn my face to the side to avoid hurting my nose.
I panted, my heart thundering wildly in my chest. He was right. This was what I’d come for. The feeling of floating. Being weightless. The high of his body touching mine. The way it made me forget. The way it made me feel alive.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Amie Knight gives another wonderfully angsty romance in A Wild Heart. Emily’s late husband, Andy, was best friends with Holden from A Steel Heart, and I loved getting to catch up with Holden and Miranda! But this book is a standalone and a wonderfully heartbreaking and healing journey for Emily and West.

After Emily’s late husband, Andy, was killed in action, she never imagined that she would fall in love again. Raising her daughter, Parker, was enough to fulfill her. A few years later, Emily and Parker move closer to Holden and Miranda (Andy and Holden were best friends), and she begins building a life in a new town. During a girls’ night out with Miranda, Emily meets a sexy stranger. A brooding, hulking, giant of a man who she never even exchanges names with — but someone who makes her feel alive for the first time in years. And as we get to know grumpy Weston, we learn that Emily makes him feel the same way.

This is a beautiful story about two heartbroken people who are drowning in grief and loss. And for Emily, it goes beyond the loss of her husband and back further to her childhood. She’s afraid to really let West in because all she knows is people leaving her. And while Emily annoys him like crazy, West can’t stay away.

Both of these characters go through a lot when it comes to making peace with their past, and it’s an emotional rollercoaster. But even amid all the heaviness of their story, there is a lot of fun in this book. Emily is sassy as heck, West’s mom is a hoot, and I adored the friendship he and Parker developed.

This was a great story about two people who never expected to find love again finding love again, and the beautiful ragtag family they choose to create.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Having read the first two Calloway Brothers books, I knew that Untaken Twin was going to be a doozy…. and Samantha Christy delivered all the angst-filled goodness with Cooper and Serenity’s story!

If you’ve read the blurb, you know what this story is about. Cooper is the identical twin of Serenity’s late fiance, Chaz. It’s been four years since the accident claimed Chaz’s life, and neither Cooper nor Ren have been able to move on. They are both trapped in the past, but when her dad has a health issue and calls upon them to co-manage his bar/restaurant, Cooper and Ren have to stop running from their demons and confront them head-on.

How can she work side by side with the man who looks like the dead love of her life? Once upon a time, Ren was one of Cooper’s best friends, but he is so guilt-stricken by Chaz’s death, he can barely face her now. How can they possibly co-manage a restaurant? And oh my goodness, the guilt that consumes them both as they start to develop feelings for one another!

While I loved Jaxon and Tag’s stories, there was something just so much more amazing about Cooper and Ren. And it’s because of that forbidden aspect of Cooper being Chaz’s twin. Chaz’s death affected all of the Calloway brothers, but Cooper more than the others since they were together when Chaz died. The survivor’s guilt is real for Coop, and the emotional guilt he feels once he starts falling for Serenity just about kills him.

This is a gut-wrenching, beautiful story that I will be keeping on my read-often list! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

THE C AGREEMENT by R.L. Kenderson

RELEASES: October 26th

I was the girl next door…with a few extra pounds. My job was demanding and kept me on my toes, but when I was deep in a case, it left me little time for relationships. And because of that, I had some complaints in the bedroom.

What I wanted was for someone to teach me to be a better lover. I needed someone I trusted with my body without the fear of falling in love and someone who wasn’t looking for anything more than sex. And I needed a man who knew how to use his body.

That was where Cade Nichols came in. He was my older brother’s best friend and anti-commitment. And my brother just challenged him to sleep with only one woman for two months. So, I offered to help Cade win that bet. As long as he helped me learn my way around a cock.

What I didn’t bet on was life not going as planned.

Reserve Your Copy!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

The C Agreement is the first book I’ve read by this writing duo, and I enjoyed it — even though I felt like the resolution to Rayne and Cade’s dating-bet relationship was rushed.

A bitter breakup has wounded her pride and Rayne is feeling down on herself. Her brother, Beau, and his best friend, Cade, make a bet that playboy Cade can’t stay with one woman for a whole month. If he does, then Beau will open up the restaurant with Cade that they’ve always dreamed about. Since Rayne wants to spice up her repertoire in the bedroom, she suggests that Cade spend the month with her.

I loved Rayne’s confidence. She was a smart, strong, and feisty heroine. Plus-sized as well, and she owned it. She talks about times in her past when she’d felt passed over and friend-zoned because of her size, but Cade makes her feel beautiful and sexy. He’s always thought so, but she was off-limits to him as his best friend’s little sister. Plus, Cade isn’t the relationship type and didn’t want to cross any lines in his friendship with Rayne. But when presented with the opportunity to have her whenever he wants her for a whole month, Cade jumps at the chance.

This book is full of spice and heat, and dirty talk. Cade is rather possessive and it surprises Rayne when she discovers that she likes that side of him. Of course, they both catch feelings before the month is up. And this is where I had an issue with the storyline: Rayne recognizes that she’s fallen in love with Cade, while he’s confused by his feelings of wanting to be around her whenever he can. I feel like I missed a whole section where Cade went from that to realizing that he loved her. I like the show, not the tell, and it just felt like I was robbed of seeing Cade realize he’d fallen in love despite his best efforts.

Still, I enjoyed this book very much. It’s a relatively quick read, and an enjoyable low-angst romance.

Meet R.L. Kenderson!

R.L. Kenderson is two best friends writing under one name.

Renae has always loved reading, and in third grade, she wrote her first poem where she learned she might have a knack for this writing thing. Lara remembers sneaking her grandmother’s Harlequin novels when she was probably too young to be reading them, and since then, she knew she wanted to write her own.

When they met in college, they bonded over their love of reading and the TV show Charmed. What really spiced up their friendship was when Lara introduced Renae to romance novels. When they discovered their first vampire romance, they knew there would always be a special place in their hearts for paranormal romance. After being unable to find certain storylines and characteristics they wanted to read about in the hundreds of books they consumed, they decided to write their own.

One lives in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area and the other in the Kansas City area where they both work in the medical field during the day and they’re a sexy author by night. They communicate through phone, email, and whole lot of messaging.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I have been waiting for Shiloh’s story ever since the T&T series began. I could not wait to see how Catherine Cowles worked her magic on the girl who was at the center of the kidnapping that affected the family so incredibly deeply. And Shiloh just blossomed through her relationship with Ramsey in the most beautiful way!

Shiloh’s soul just called out to Ramsey’s. For years before they even became friends. There was something rare that they shared as victims of horrible crimes, and that bonded them in a way that she never experienced with anyone else.

Shiloh had been living in a cage, both of her own making and the sheltered life her parents enforced on her after the kidnapping. She truly came into her own as she worked with the horses on Ramsey’s farm. And for the first time in her life, she got to experience romance and companionship.

In addition to the lovely romance between these two broken souls., this story is very much Shiloh’s coming-of-age tale, because she really is stunted in so many ways as a result of her past.

As with every other CC book, there is an element of danger in this book and a shocking revelation. And while that event cemented Shiloh and Ramsey’s relationship, it also set his trust in her family, specifically her sheriff brother, Hayes. Giving him the family that he never had.

Narrators Joe Arden and Erin Mallon were PHENOMENAL in bringing this story to life!

This book was absolutely lovely, and a perfect end to this series. There are some cameo appearances by heroes from previous CC books, and also serves to set up the next series.

This is my mountain…at least it’s supposed to be.

Only when my father dies, I find out he played a little game with my inheritance. Now I have thirty days to find a wife or I’ll lose everything.

That’s where she comes in. Honor Channing. Dark hair, emerald eyes, and the poutiest, sassiest mouth.

She’s meant for a fairytale, not a cold, calculating, ruthless man like me. But when her family is desperate, I make them a deal.

I’ll buy their businesses. Keep them afloat. All I want in return is her.

Because the moment I stepped foot back into Thorne Ridge, this Beauty was mine.

She just doesn’t know it yet.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Mountain Beauty is a super steamy reimagining of Beauty & The Beast. Short enough to binge read, and sexy enough to keep your attention as Jett and Honor navigate an engagement of convenience, family drama, and a growing attraction between them.

Beauty & The Beast is my favorite Disney princess movie, and I loved all the correlations in this book. Honor has to marry Jett to save her destitute family. Her one brother is the Gaston-type villain of this story… Jett builds her a library… she finds the sweet soul behind the man everyone calls The Beast… This story had lots of angry heat and a hero with a really dirty mouth!

Blurb:

From USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Yarros comes a small town, single parent romance.

Nine years ago, Weston Madigan saved me. I came to Colorado penniless, heartbroken, and pregnant, searching for a fresh start. Weston gave me a job at his family’s resort, then left the next day and never returned, not even to visit.

Then I stumble in on Weston cooking breakfast shirtless—gloriously, inappropriately shirtless—in the shared kitchen of my duplex in employee housing. Given the shock on both our faces, he wasn’t expecting a roommate either, let alone two.

The growly pilot is only home to start his family’s new heli-skiing operation. I can handle being his temporary roommate, right? Chemistry and attraction aren’t impossible to ignore when you agree on ground rules. Besides, even with those gorgeous, brooding brown eyes, the guy is a walking thundercloud…until my daughter, Sutton, makes him laugh and he smiles at me. Then everything changes. Cue inconvenient heart flip.

This is only temporary.

I can’t fall for Weston.

Will. Not. Fall. For. Weston.

But rules go out the window when you’re a little too close.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

This story hit all the right notes for a forced proximity/roommates romance. Callie and Weston tried to stick to the rules they set forth as roommates and her being a single mom, but it wasn’t long before they began breaking every one of them.

Weston is such a great grumpy hero! Especially since being around Callie and her daughter being him so much happiness. I adored the friendship that he and Sutton developed all on their own, and how she knew they were an item when he and Callie thought they were being so slick!

Weston has a lot of family baggage, and that all comes into play nicely. Callie has issues with her parents as well, and i loved that she didn’t judge Weston for not forgiving his dad or brother, but just silently supported him in how he felt he needed to handle things.

Alas, this couple eventually split up because Weston doesn’t think he’s capable of love, when the truth is he was everything Callie and Sutton needed. And once he realizes how miserable he is without his girls… we’ll, a big grand gesture or two solves that problem!

I only read this book in the Madigan Mountain series, and it is a standalone. But I am really curious about Reed and Crew so I will definitely check out the other two books!

About RUNAWAY GROOMSMAN:

Hollywood screenwriter Sawyer Walsh knows a good love story when he sees it. But when it comes to real life romance, he’s a mess. That’s how he finds himself standing at the altar…as his ex-girlfriend ties the knot with his very famous best friend. The pressure, the resentment, the media coverage—it’s all too much—and before he knows exactly what he’s doing, he’s making a run for it, leaving a shocked congregation and flashing cameras in his wake.

Needing to lie low amid the media fallout, Sawyer lands in the charming town of Canoodle, California, where he crosses paths with Fallon Long, who runs the Canoodle Cove Cabins, a family-owned business and Sawyer’s new short-term residence. Overwhelmed with renovations and her long list of responsibilities, Fallon is struggling to make ends meet while attempting to bring the cabins back to their original glory. So when Sawyer arrives, she is grateful for the income, but immediately writes him off as just another vapid Hollywood hack, until he begins to prove her wrong at every turn.

As Fallon comes closer to saving the family business, an undeniable bond forms between her and the handsome screenwriter. But the pressures of her family obligations and Sawyer’s notoriety might prove to be too much for anyone to handle. Could Canoodle be the setting for a new romance—or is true love just a Hollywood cliché?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Slow-burn perfection! Runaway Groomsman is full of laughs and lots of heart, the yummy kind of story that you can just envision watching on “Lifemark” or “Movieflix.” (IYKYK!!)

Sawyer is a screenwriter who makes his living writing feel-good romcoms, but his life is more like a Greek tragedy lately. And when his ex-girlfriend (an actress) marries his ex-best friend (an actor), the dude has a meltdown of epic proportions. During the ceremony. At the altar. As his double-finger kiss-off becomes a viral gif, Sawyer ends up hiding out in the quirky mountain town of Canoodle to bury his head in the sand as he’s become a bit of a laughingstock back in Hollywood.

One of the first people Sawyer meets in Canoodle is Fallon — a former nurse with whom he had one horrible blind date a year ago. At the time, Sawyer was drowning in sadness and anger because his girlfriend cheated on him with his best friend, but all Fallon remembers from that date was what a jerk the guy was. And to make matters worse, Sawyer has zero recollection of who Fallon is when they first cross paths. Still, she takes pity on the drunk fool and lets him stay in one of the cabins at her grandfather’s crumbling resort.

But Fallon has a lot more to worry about than a guy she had one date with not remembering her. She’s the caretaker for her grandfather, Sully, who has Alzheimer’s, and she’s desperately trying to renovate the resort so she can continue her grandparents’ legacy. While Sawyer is hiding out and trying to come up with a new movie concept to save his career, he begins spending lots of time with Sully and unbeknownst to Fallon, begins doing renovations at the resort under her grandfather’s watchful eye. And the more time he spends “not being friends” with Fallon, the more Sawyer realizes he blew his chance with a fabulous girl… because she now has a boyfriend, Peter.

As Fallon and Sawyer become more than “not friends,” it’s clear that there is so much electricity between them. Fallon is broken up with Peter before anything happens between her and Sawyer, but you have to read through more than half of the book to get there! And because Sawyer doesn’t want to ruin the second chance he’s been given, he becomes the swooniest of book boyfriends as he courts Fallon. Along the way, Sawyer finds his muse again and discovers that the best thing that ever could have happened to him was running away from Hollywood.

There are so many wonderful Easter eggs sprinkled throughout this book that I loved as a long-time reader of Meghan Quinn’s. I loved all of the side characters, especially Fallon’s sarcastic BFF, Jazlyn. I know there is a story coming for Jaz and Sawyer’s brother, and I can’t wait to see how their romance unfolds! This book is a Montlake release and definitely does not have the spice level that MQ’s indie books like Royally Not Ready has, but it is a super sweet and heartfelt story about love, inner peace, acceptance, and family.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher via NetGalley and voluntarily left a review.

“I need you to marry me.”

Jane Fox

My boss cannot be serious. The ridiculously handsome man I hate-to-crush on has just proposed I pretend to be his wife for a funeral. A funeral! Only, when he dangles a much-coveted position in exchange for my time, I can’t refuse. Who am I kidding, though? I seem to have a habit of not saying no to Mr. Wright.

Things spiral out of control the second we reach my small town. A place I swore I’d never return has suddenly become my inheritance. As in, I’ve inherited an entire town! Only, there’s one condition: my hot, top executive pretending to be my wife must marry me for real. What could possibly go wrong? <insert sarcasm>

+++

Join Jane and Mach as they road trip to a lovely mountain town where memories haunt and relationships build. And it takes (the restoration of) a village for this marriage of convenience to question the past and change the future.

L.B. Dunbar brings you a second standalone in Road Trips & Romance. 

**Note, the Fox sisters are siblings of Garrett Fox from Wine&Dine, an original #sexysilverfox. 

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

I love LB Dunbar’s stories and her more mature characters. Merging Wright is book #2 in the Roadtrips & Romance series, and features Mae’s sister, Jane, as the heroine and her boss Machlan.

Jane thinks Mach is out of his mind when he asks her to go to his hometown with him for a funeral with him and pretend to be his wife. He dangles the promotion she’s been hoping for as a carrot, and Jane reluctantly says yes. Never mind the fact that Jane’s had feelings for Mach for quite some time and thinks that she must really be the crazy one for going through with this farce.

But Jane and Mach’s fake relationship soon turns into so much more in this heartfelt story. There are a lot of big emotions in this book, as both characters have muddy pasts that they need to work through in order to find their path together. Especially Mach, because going back to the town he swore he’d never step foot in again takes a toll on him emotionally. But as he repairs burned bridges from his past, he really becomes a different person. And as he begins to see himself in a different light as well, this serial dater realizes that the perfect mate for him has been on the other side of the office all along.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Did Not Finish by Nicola Marsh is now live! 

Stranded…with my nemesis.

AXEL: It’s bad enough an unseasonal blizzard means I’m stuck with my PA’s annoying cat, but to make matters worse, Mia Samson and her poison pen are in my house too. The renowned reviewer has tanked enough books with her dreaded DNF and I need to teach her a lesson.
But my enemy is not what I expect and if I’m not careful, I’m in danger of revealing my secret to the one person who can use it against me.

MIA: I know people in publishing call me the career-wrecker behind my back. What they don’t know is, I’m writing a novel, and when I’m lucky enough to win a week-long retreat with bestselling Axel Low in quaint Sugar Plain, Nebraska, I’m thrilled.

Until I discover being snowed in with the reclusive grump is merely the first trope my life has turned into, and soon I’m sorely tempted to enact enemies to lovers…
