Dahlia Akana has no idea where she’s going in life.

All she’s ever wanted to do is travel, and her inner circle pressuring her to figure out her purpose only makes her wanderlust grow stronger. But she’s comfortable being a nanny to her nieces in the small Pennsylvania town where her sister lives. Though she’s far overstayed her desired timeline, it’s a place filled with friends and familiarity while she plots her next move.

Until she meets the devastatingly gorgeous, obnoxious rookie who is slated to be the next superstar on the town’s top tier baseball team. He’s everything she doesn’t want, but can’t seem to stay away from. As they spend more time together, she discovers that he might just be the anchor she’s always looked for.

When secrets, lies, and a humiliating public scandal rock their world, will she be able to stay with him? Fight for him? Or will her age-old tactic of fleeing erase any shot at a happily ever after?

Garrett Chester has always known exactly what he wants.

To be the best pitcher in the history of the major leagues. And luckily, with more talent in his pinky than other people have in their entire body, he’s well on his way. It’s his attitude that leaves something to be desired. Cocky, reckless and soaking up his newfound fame, the rookie attracts the attention of the tabloid press.

When he meets the feisty woman just as beautiful as the flower she’s named after, she gives him a refreshing reality check. With each passing day, not only does he fall harder, but she makes him want to be a better man.

Except the past that haunts him inevitably catches up, and ends up taking her down with him. Alone, exposed and cast out, it’s a reminder of the childhood trauma that has always plagued him. Can he put the rumors to rest, piece together a career in shambles, and be the hero she needs?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Another great story in Carrie Aaron’s’ Callahan Family series. Although, Garrett and Dahlia are kind of Callahan-adjacent as Walker’s sister-in-law and teammate 😄

Dahlia is a free spirit, but she’s been living in Packton for the past few years, taking care of Hannah’s girls. She’s feeling the itch to do more with her life, that there is something missing, even though she loves spending time with her family and friends. Starting up a no-strings fling with the Pistons’ cocky rookie, Garrett, is the last thing Dahlia wanted to do. He’s a few years younger, a player, prone to media scandal, and she although she desperately tries to stay away, she just can’t ignore the pull between them.

For Garrett, Dahlia is a breath of fresh air. She challenges him, doesn’t Dawn all over him, and made him work for a shot with her. The more time they spend together, the more Garrett and Dahlia begin to think that the other is what they’ve been missing in their life. But when Dahlia finds herself drawn into Garrett’s latest scandal, will it being them closer together or break them apart for good?

I really liked the push and pull between Dahlia and Garrett! Control Artist is a little grittier than some of CA’s other books in this series, and it’s also hotter and steamier! That club bathroom scene was on fire!! Their relationship progresses nicely from carnal lust to a genuine deep love, as they trust that they can open up to one another.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Blurb:

A sizzling enemies-to-lovers romance from USA Today bestselling author Harloe Rae where a billionaire CEO battles against a snarky redhead who has her own agenda.

“I’d say it’s nice to meet you, but I’ve never been a good liar.”

That’s his initial offense against me.

Don’t worry—there’s plenty more where that came from.

Landon Winters is colder than his last name suggests.

Cruel and callous too.

I’m certain he finds pleasure in making others miserable.

He’s a billionaire by his own making—not satisfied with simply inheriting a white collar and silver spoon.

Landon’s arrogance is so thick I could choke on the stench alone.

He’s also responsible for gouging a jaded chip into my shoulder.

The only saving grace is never having to see him again.

Wishful thinking is a fickle beast.

My boss just announced that Landon is my latest client.

I’ll need to impress him or kiss my promotion goodbye.

Either way, this is my chance to get even.

Revenge is all I see.

The price for redemption is steep.

Landon will pay a small fortune in humiliation.

And I’ll walk away filthy rich in vindication.

Excerpt

“Turn around.”

It’s a guttural command.
 He bends me over the arm of the couch, and my hands hit the cushion for support, to steady myself. At the sound of the condom tearing, my inner muscles contract, bracing for him. He spreads my cheeks and, slipping his whole hand between my legs, cups the trembling flesh. I’m unprepared for the swipe of his tongue. For the subtle abrasion of his beard scraping the inner skin of my thighs. For the sound of him eating me. I push back against his face, helpless, no shame. Digging my nails into the cushions, I widen my legs to give me more, to take more for myself. He grips my thighs, holding me steady for his devouring mouth until, with a sob that sails over the rooftop, over the city, I contract around his delving tongue. The orgasm hits hard, tightening the muscles in my thighs and calves. With staccato breaths, I bury my face in the couch, biting my lip to the point of pain.


“Canon,” I beg. “Stop teasing me and—”


He shoves in, and the words tumble back down my throat, recessing into the shock of this pleasure.


“Jesus.” Need shreds my voice to ribbons. 


He coasts his hand up my back, gently cuffs my neck. Ass in the air, I rise up on my toes, begging for breath, petitioning for more dick. He gives it to me, pushing impossibly deeper.


“So damn good,” he grunts behind me.


I hope I never get over how perfect he feels inside me, like I was molded to his specifications. Shaped for his dimensions. I moan and reach my hand back to pull at one of my cheeks, widening the way for his cock. It feels like he goes where no dick has gone before, deeper, better. Somehow I feel each thrust in my heart. His every touch plays on my emotions, and tears sting my eyes. His hand tightens at my hip, and he slides the other hand up my arm, finds my hand on the couch and laces our fingers together. He sets a frenetic pace that sends the blood singing through my body again. The cushion absorbs my scream as I come, and I punish the soft cotton with clawing nails. With his voice strangled, his fingers fisted in my hair, he comes. 


Collapsing against my back, a heavy, happy burden, his breath stilted and warm at my neck, he snakes one muscled arm around my middle, clutching me. After the urgent, feral coupling, it’s a cherishing hold. I cross my arm over his at my waist and tangle our fingers. It’s fragile and sweet, this moment, like flakes of sugar disintegrating on your tongue when you’ve barely had time to taste.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Reel is so much more than an emotional, forbidden romance between a rising young star and a hot Hollywood director. The journey of Naveeh and Canon’s relationship certainly takes center stage in Reel, but there’s also a beautiful secondary story within the story, that of jazz singer Dessi Blue, the subject of the biopic Naveeh and Canon are making.

It’s a slow-burn romance between Naveeh and Canon, as they develop a professional relationship first, then a true friendship, before anything turns romantic. As they work on the biopic, they grow closer, and despite the insane pull he feels toward Naveeh, Canon is determined to not cross the line, due to a past relationship gone bad with another actress. But somewhere along the line, Canon decides that Naveeh is worth breaking his rules for. But will the risk be too much for either of them to bear?

This book covers a lot of ground. In addition to shining the spotlight on black performers from the 1930s, there are socially-relevant situations that Naveeh faces as an actress involved with the director. Plus, she has an autoimmune disease that affects her skin, and in addition to the emotional weight that carries on her, there’s a health crisis that affects her quite physically during the filming of the movie — and that moment packs quite a punch as far as her friendship with Canon is concerned.

Reel is a beautifully crafted and well-written story with a fantastic plotline, remarkable characters, and an epic love that will captivate you from the start. A great start to a new series!

BLURB:

“Kiss me. Just this once . . . please Walker.”

Those whispered words were my undoing . . .

As the most hated player in baseball, I had two options: either clean up my image or pack my bags. Being traded wasn’t an option which only meant one thing, I had to become compliant.

That’s how I found myself sharing a small bistro table with Kate Chapman, the Chicago Bobbies newest PR Manager. Devastatingly beautiful, vastly intelligent, and incredibly cunning, she knows exactly how to handle my grumpy demeanor.

It was supposed to be simple. Book some PR events, show up, smile for the camera, and be done. But one massive mistake on my end sends me into the trenches with Kate, forcing me to open up to her.

Innocent glances turn into cordial encounters.
Secret touches turn into tempting invitations.
And dangerous nights alone turn into consuming desperation.

I’ve never wanted a woman as much as I want her. And I know she wants me, but there’s a no fraternizing with the players rule. Neither of us can afford to lose our jobs, but we also can’t seem to keep our hands off each other either.

EXCERPT:

I slip on my clothes, going for a pair of jeans and a long-sleeved Henley. I push the sleeves up, still heated from the shower. I leave my hat in my locker, opting for a quick swab of styling pomade through my hair. I couldn’t care less what I look like, but Coach always likes us to be somewhat presentable after a game in case we run into any press.

Hungry and ready for my bed, I head out of the locker room and am making my way toward the players’ exit when a throat clears behind me. I glance over my shoulder to find Kate Chapman standing against the wall, her purse draped over her shoulder and a beautiful smile gracing her delicately freckled face.

She quickly gives me a once-over and says, “It was the socks.”

I can’t help it, I let out a low chuckle while slowly shaking my head and turning toward her. Hands in my pockets, I say, “It wasn’t the socks.”

Her mouth drops open in disbelief as she approaches me. “It was so the socks.” She points her finger at me.

“Don’t even deny it.”

“It was all my practice.”

“Yeah, practice with me. Just admit it, Rockwell, you had fun last night, the socks were a good luck charm, and you played your ass off tonight.”

I don’t believe in superstitions, which is unheard of when it comes to a baseball player, but I’ve never geared my play around being a habitual player, either. Instead, I do what feels right. So, believing in socks having a special power and helping me gather some hits tonight—nah, not real. But I will say this—having my socks up reminded me why I was behind that plate. It reminded me of being small again and taking joy in the little things.

Was it the socks? Maybe.

Was it the thought of the girl standing in front of me?

Maybe a little more.

“It wasn’t the socks.”

Her head falls back as she groans. “You’re so stubborn.” She makes eye contact with me again. “Do you realize that?”

“Yeah.” I rock on my heels, trying not to stare at her too much.
Just picture me pitching to you.

When I said that would be too distracting, I meant it. With her softly curled hair and her gorgeous smile that doesn’t seem to ever falter—unless I’m a total dick and walk out on her—she’s caught my eye.

She’s starting to imprint herself on my brain.

She’s starting to make me feel shit I shouldn’t be feeling.

“Well, I’m—”

“What are you doing right now?” I ask out of the blue, surprising myself, and her.

“Uh, I was going to give you a hard time and then go home?” she says with a hint of question at the end.

I nod at her. “Hungry?”

She eyes me suspiciously. “Starving.”

“Want to get some food?”

She chews on her bottom lip, thinking about her answer, and I know it’s not in a joking around way, but more so she’s afraid. Afraid of me, possibly. Afraid for her job, most likely.

So, I add, “You know, to discuss business.”

It’s against team policy to fraternize with the players. I know that, she knows that, but, for the life of me, after seeing that infectious joy on her face, I had to ask her. I had to try to spend more time with her.

“Well, if it’s business . . .” She smiles brightly and then nods behind her. “Follow me.”

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Drop. The. Towel!

It’s taken me a few days to put together my thoughts about Walker and Kate because HOLY SMOKES were they slow-burn perfection! Underneath that gruff exterior, Walker is just a big old softy. But it took Kate pushing through those barriers and the facade he puts up to see it. Everyone seems to think that Walker has a bad attitude — and he does, to an extent — but he also has such a sweet side, a gentle soul, and is so giving and thoughtful!

Walker and Kate are perfectly perfect together — but thanks to the no-fraternizing policy that the Bobbies strictly enforce, one amazing day together is all that this couple will ever have. Or is it?

Meghan Quinn penned a delectable forbidden romance with The Perfect Catch. I loved everything about Walker and his past and his dedication to his sister and the feelings of guilt that he’s been carrying around for years. The professional rivalry between Walker and Penn runs SO DEEP — back to when they were playing little league. And when the twist came about regarding Penn I was FLOORED!
(Please give us a story for Penn, Meghan!)

The Perfect Catch is a perfect addition to Meghan Quinn’s baseball series and the towel brigade. Walker’s story was a long time coming but so worth the wait!!! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Friends With Benedicts, a brand new, heart felt rom-com from Staci Hart, is finally LIVE!! Who’s reading? Grab your copy today from your favorite online book retailer!

Amazon | AppleBooks | Kobo | B&N

Timing is everything.

Presley Hale and Sebastian Vargas are no strangers to goodbye. Their high school summers were spent wrapped up in each other until she would inevitably go home to California. One season after college, Sebastian finally escaped the little Texas town to travel the world, and they said goodbye for what they thought might be the last time.

Sebastian went one way. Presley went the other.

For the first time in five years, they’re both in town, but the timing is no better than ever. So the only thing to do is what they do best. Keep it casual.

Friends with benefits.

They’ve done it before—doing it again will be easy.

But their hearts don’t get the memo.

When the lines of their arrangement blur, Presley and Sebastian are faced with decisions they’ve avoided for years. And that’s not even their biggest problem.

A small town in danger of failing.

A secret that could tear them apart.

And two hearts that can’t hide anymore.

They’ve shared so many summers, but none compare to what they’ll face.

Timing is everything.

And their time is almost up.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Timing is everything. And unfortunately for Presley and Sebastian, theirs never matched up. They have had summer flings on and off since they were teenagers, and while they were always “the one that got away” for each other, they’ve never been in the same city long enough to actually make a relationship work. Especially since Sebastian works for the Peace Corps and goes off the grid for long periods of time.

This is why it’s been nearly five years since their last fling and Presley returns to town with a 5-year-old daughter He never wanted kids because of family medical history, so there are a few obstacles for them to get over at first, but Sebastian steps up in every way when it comes to his responsibilities. And even when they start seeing each other again, there is always that elephant in the room between them: She’s only in town for a few months, and he’s taking off for another tour with the Peace Corps soon. What is it going to take for them to commit for real this time around?

We met Presley and her adorable daughter Priscilla in Bet The Farm — she’s Olivia’s friend. But it’s not necessary to have read BTF to enjoy FWB. There is a conversation between Olivia and Presley that sparks her thoughts to return to California when things with Sebastian fall apart, and it was a nice nod as a longtime reader to have that connection.

There’s a nice development to Pres and Sebastian’s story arc. Friends With Benedicts is full of swoony moments and small-town goodness. The bonus epilogue is EPIC and ties this story up in a nice little bow of happiness, so don’t miss it! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life — a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can’t forget that. She’s also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She’s been a wife, though she’s certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She’s also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she’s been drinking whiskey. When she’s not writing, she’s reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.

I never thought I’d find her.

Finding You, an all-new second chance romance from debut author Lena Hendrix is available now!!

After eight years in the Marines, I’m still looking for the mysterious woman I’ve obsessed over since her first letter. When she shows up in my small town, I’m thrilled.

But when she turns out to be my brother’s best friend–and the girl he’s always loved–I’m caught between the two people who matter to me the most.

I’m a Marine, which means honor and duty run deep. Joanna is off-limits. That would be a whole lot easier if she hadn’t already agreed to help run my brother’s fishing guide business for the summer, forcing me to work side-by-side with the woman I’ve fantasized about for years.

I try to keep her at a distance, push her away, man up. But she draws me in without even trying, and I can’t get enough of how she makes me feel. I’m stealing moments with her, and I know it’s wrong. She may not be my brother’s girlfriend, but I know a landmine when I see one.

How can a good man choose his heart over his honor?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Finding You is a fantastic debut novel from Lena Hendrix! I loved everything about Jo and Lincoln’s story! It is well-told, paced wonderfully, the characters are easy to relate to, nothing about their romance felt forced, and the supporting characters were well thought-out and contributed nicely to the story (versus just being props as extra characters). I felt every bit of lust and sexual tension between Jo and Lincoln, and totally bought why he felt she was so off-limits as someone his brother was interested in.

The use of the letters Jo wrote to Lincoln when he was deployed was a fantastic tool in setting up the connection between these characters years before the actually met. He’d been searching for her in every face he looked at, and she was looking for someone to see her for the wonderful woman that she is.

Give this new author a chance. You won’t be disappointed! I hope there is much more to come from Lena Hendrix!! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Excerpt

The moment she walked in, I felt it. Static electricity crackled in the air. My head whipped up to see her pushing the entrance to the door open, scanning for an empty table.

Maybe she won’t see me. Make an excuse to Colin and just leave. You can’t trust yourself around her.

The way her hair billowed from the breeze outside as the door closed had my pulse galloping. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from her.

There was a decent crowd to eat and enjoy the band, but not a few steps into the bar, she saw me. Joanna stopped abruptly. Something flickered over her face, and she looked down, but then suddenly back up and stared directly at me.

With purposeful strides, she walked straight to my small table. Fuck.

“Fancy meeting you here.”

Ignore the tightness in your chest. Breathe. “That’s small-town life for you. Not a lot of options on a weeknight.” I couldn’t seem to look at her.

“Apparently.” At that, she smiled. “I was just popping in to get a bite. Can you keep me company?” she asked, already pulling the chair from under the table.

I just looked at the chair, and she paused. Don’t be a dick.

“Of course. I already ate but you can have the table.” I shifted to stand.

“Please, don’t go because of me,” she said, looking down. “If I make you that uncomfortable, I can eat somewhere else.”

I recovered from the citrus scent of her hair long enough to realize how much of an asshole I was still being. Clearly, she was trying to make things less awkward and I wasn’t letting her.

“No,” I said, sighing. “Of course not. It’s fine.”

Joanna sat, looking around and tapping her finger on the scarred wood top of the table. The corner section was tight, forcing us to sit side by side, knees nearly touching. I stared at the beer between my hands and focused on breathing rather than how soft her hair looked as pieces of it fell from her bun.

As the silence stretched, she added, “I’m sorry if I made things uncomfortable on the trip.”

“Oh.” I turned to finally look at her. Her eyes were cast down, picking at an imaginary something on the wood. “No, it’s fine. It was . . .” I didn’t know how to do this.

“Well, I thought about it and I think we should just let this be . . .” she waved a hand in the air, “whatever it was. Friends?” She reached out her hand to me.

I looked down at her slim hand. It looked so small compared to mine, and I couldn’t help but remember how it felt when it had run up the muscles of my back as I drove into her.

Focus. Breathe.

Pushing the thought from my mind, I slid my hand into hers, and she pumped it once and nodded her head.

“Friends,” she confirmed.

BLURB:

Is it an accidental pregnancy, if it’s purposefully planned?

Autumn Kulis wants a baby. It’s that simple and that complicated because one thing stands in her way – she doesn’t have a man in her life. And at almost forty, she isn’t getting any younger. On a two-week trip to her brother’s lakeside cottage, a plan forms. Make a list of three men. Sleep with each of them. Allow nature to take its course. Only, a certain someone gets in her way.

Logan Anders goes with the flow of life. Divorced, single dad, he works hard, and occasionally plays harder. When his college roommate invites him to Lakeside Cottage for two weeks, he hadn’t remembered his best friend’s little sister being so hot. Nor was he a fan of her plan to find a baby daddy. He’s determined to make her list then tear it to shreds leaving him the only man horizontal with her.

When we were forty, we had so much life to live, and a simple proposition could be the start of a second chance at really living.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Living At 40 was a charming series starter from LB Dunbar. 35-year-old Autumn wants a baby. During a 2-week vacation at her brother’s lake cottage with his best friends from college, Logan offers to be her babydaddy. It’s not quite that simple, since Autumn had a crush on Logan when she was a teen and he pushed her away, rejecting her and breaking her heart. Logan has no recollection of the events, but as the overweight guy in the group, he used humor as a crutch. So Autumn has been carrying around some hurt feelings for years and Logan had no clue what he did wrong.

While vacationing, they unpack their baggage and agree to a short-term fling to get Autumn pregnant, with no obligation on Logan’s part. Things get complicated, of course, when feelings get involved. After a messy blow-out, Logan realizes that he’s started living again thanks to Autumn. But is it too late for him to get back what he threw away?

I really enjoyed this series, which will focus on Logan and his friends as they navigate life in their 40s. There is so much more to this book than just Logan and Autumn’s romance, and I cried for Ben and Anna (her brother and sister-in-law). I can’t wait to see what comes next!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
