Blurb:
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been the dark to my sister’s light—the awkward loner to her social butterfly. Growing up, she had it all: our parent’s unyielding approval, perfect grades, a permanent spot at the popular table, and the attention of the hottest guy ever—Duke Kincaid.

After eighteen years of living in her shadow, I couldn’t wait to escape—to finally be my own person. Yet here I am, I’m back in my hometown, once again in Valorie’s shadow. Only now, it’s eternal.

I had life all planned out: join the force, marry Valorie Parsons, and start a family of our own. I have the job, but the girl and all my dreams died before my very eyes.

Finally ready to move on, I agree to a blind date. Imagine my shock when I arrive and find, Valorie’s twin sister, waiting across the table from me. Mallory should be a reminder of all that I’ve lost, but instead she feels like my redemption . . . like maybe life’s giving me a second chance.

But, how can I be enough for her when I’ve already given her sister the best of me?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Excerpt:
Nate follows my line of sight and smirks. He may be my best friend and partner, but damn if I don’t want to knock that smarmy-ass look right off his face. And when he opens his mouth, the feeling intensifies. “It’s okay to—”

I shoot him a withering glare before stomping off toward Mallory.

I don’t stop until I’m close enough to feel the heat of her body. She has to tilt her head back to see me, and when our eyes meet, my name topples from her lips on a breathy sigh. “We need to talk.” My tone is all business—my cop voice, as Nate calls it—as I wrap my fingers around her forearm, prepared to drag her along behind me if necessary. Luckily, she comes all too willingly—so why am I still holding on to her?

The feeling of her soft, sun-warmed skin beneath my palm sends little zaps of electricity under my skin, into my muscle. Her nearness has me strung taut like a drawn bow. Here’s to hoping like hell I don’t snap.

Deep down, like really fucking deep, I know I’m acting like a colossal asshole, but much like a prepubescent boy picking on his schoolyard crush, it’s the only way I know how to deal with all of the conflicting feelings she stirs in me.

Life.
Wishes.
Dreams.
Loss.

Some wishes never come true.

As a young girl, Poppy Montgomery was told if she made a wish on fireflies, it would come true. She carried those words throughout her life, even when her battles were lost. When Poppy didn’t have anyone else, the boy next door, Julien Pierce, vowed he would always be there for her…until he wasn’t.

Julien’s life has become too much for him to deal with. He wants a break from it all and to go back to his roots in Wishing, Kansas. He wants to remember the boy he once was, and there’s no one better to give him the reality check he needs than Poppy Montgomery. The girl he loved and left, the girl he made a promise to and then broke it. How is he supposed to face her again even after all these years?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Star

Colbie Kay always had a love for reading and wanted to pursue writing. In 2015 she made that dream come true when she published her first book. Since then she has become a stay-at-home mom, writing full-time and bringing her passion to life through the words she creates.

The most fulfilling part of being an author for Colbie is to take readers into a fantasy world between the pages of her books. Becoming an author has also given her the opportunity to fill another passion of hers, which is traveling. She loves being able to attend book signings and meeting everyone that shares her love of books.

Colbie has many more stories to share with you, so be sure to connect with her and keep up with what is coming next.

Synopsis

I shoot war zones, not nuptials.

But when my ex-wife lands a starring role in the wedding of the year, it’s tempting to change things up a bit.

Who’s better than me to follow her around before and during the big day, capturing every picturesque moment, snapping every detail as they join together in wedlock? No one.

Not to mention, she still owes me for destroying my prized vintage camera during our divorce.

As the saying goes, revenge is a dish best served cold.

About the Author

Denise Wells has been reading since before she could talk. And to this day, escaping into a book is her go-to activity before anything else. She’s the author of five romance novels and one YA novel to date. She likes to write about sassy women and semi-flawed alpha-esque men. Denise’s female characters always have strong friendships, potty mouths, and like to drink–a lot. Denise is loyal to a fault, a bit too sarcastic, blindingly optimistic, and pretty freakin’ happy with life overall. As a diehard fan of the band Journey, Denise would be a rock star in the band if she couldn’t be a writer. Preferably during the Steve Perry years, when they were awesome. Home is in the Pacific Northwest where she lives with six special needs dogs, one cat (who’s busy plotting the demise of the six dogs), and a husband (BW) who has the patience and tolerance of a saint. And, lest she forget, Denise also lives with too many to count characters inside her head, who will eventually have their stories told.

“A.S. Teague brings the feels with this one, y’all. The Hardest Hit is the kind of book that sinks its claws into your heart and doesn’t let go. Five well-earned stars from me.” –LK Farlow, Amazon bestselling author

The Hardest Hit, an all-new emotional, single dad romance from A.S. Teague is available now!

My friends used to tell me ‘What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.’ Clearly they lied, because there was no way the chemistry I had with Mel could ever be left behind.

However, my children, her career, and nine hundred miles between us meant that for seven years, Melanie Holstein was the one who got away.

I was Aiden Shaw, first-round draft pick turned the best quarterback the league had ever seen. I worked hard to secure my position in football history while balancing life as a single dad. Through it all, my Vegas spitfire was never far from my mind.

And considering her best friend was now with my best friend, it was pure and utter torture.

When my career took a devastating turn, Mel was the first person at my side. I was broken and defeated, but that stubborn woman was determined to piece me back together.

I liked to pretend Mel and I were destined for greatness, but Lady Luck had never been on our side. And the tragedy that followed might have been the hardest hit of all.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Aiden and Melanie were just one missed connection time and time again. Life kept getting in the way, and the stars never aligned for the two of them. But when Aiden’s world crumbles around him, Melanie is the one by his side, helping him pick up the pieces of his shattered life.

I would have liked this book a lot more if it didn’t take so long for them to get together. I felt like it was dragging, and I was getting anxious. But I really liked the characters, and was rooting for them to get together and get on the same page nonetheless. It’s a wonderful slow burn, full of sweet moments and lovely ending for the football star and the girl who got away.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Excerpt

“Fine. I won’t argue anymore.” Brooke finally relented to letting me loan her more money so that we didn’t have to leave so early.

But suddenly, leaving didn’t sound like such a bad idea.

My face split into a grin, and I swayed toward her, whispering, “That’s my girl. Now, don’t be obvious, but there is a fuckin hottie at the table across from us who has been eyeing you since we sat down.”

I didn’t mention that I only knew he’d been eyeing her because I’d been having some serious visual foreplay with his buddy.

Brooke looked to the craps table where five men were cheering every time their numbers hit, clapping each other on the back and whooping. Her jaw dropped and I giggled.

After a full thirty seconds of her staring open-mouthed across the smoky area, she blinked and I hissed, “Yessssss.”

“I… um… think he’s looking at you.”

“Pshhhh.” I elbowed her and glanced back over to where both men had stopped what they were doing and were watching us almost expectantly. “That’s all you, girl. The guy beside him is a different story. Mister Dreamy over there, though, only has eyes for Brooke.”

“Who’s Brooke?” she whispered.

I couldn’t stop the sharp burst of laughter that erupted from my lips, and she grabbed her wine glass and drained it in one swallow.

I grabbed my own and followed her lead. Game on!

“Shit, I think I just had an out-of-body experience,” she whispered.

I scooped up my pile of chips and dumped them into my clutch. “Hopefully, you’ll have another one later tonight. Let’s go talk to them.”

“No, no, no,” Brooke objected as I dragged her by the arm to the group of guys. “Mel, stop. We can’t just…”

I gave her a gentle shove and she teetered on her heels, careening right into the back of the guy who had been watching her. And when he turned, I knew that my work there was done.

It was time to go take care of my own business.

“See something you like?” I asked, stopping in front of my date for the evening, whether he knew it or not.

He leaned in close and whispered in my ear, “I’ve never seen anything so breathtaking in my life.”

I tipped my head back to look at him, a response frozen in my throat.

The side of his mouth hitched as he stared down at me, his thick lashes giving a spectacular show.

I braced for what he was going to say next. Sexy as he was, I still needed him to have a personality, or it would never work… not even for a one-night stand.

He wedged a hand in the pocket of his jeans and murmured, “That took you long enough. I was worried I’d lost my charm and I was going to have to summon a smoke signal in order to ask you out.”

My brows shot up and a smile curled my lips. “Walking over to meprobably would have been easier.”

“Maybe. But then I would have missed the view of those sexy legs as they carried you over here.” He leaned in close. Not touching me physically, but his proximity was a tangible caress of its own. “Trust me when I tell you, it was well worth the wait.”

My breath hitched as he leaned away, that seductive grin still firmly in place.

“I’m Aiden. And you are?”

Whoever the hell you want me to be.

“Mel. Er… Melanie. Whatever. I answer to both.”

He nodded, his gaze dropping to my mouth. “Nice to meet you, Mel.”

That was the exact moment I realized that I’d been wrong. It wasn’t Lady Luck who had been on my side. For the way my entire body was heating, this man had to have been the work of the devil himself.

And I was completely okay with that.

Cancer sucks … and then you die.

Styx and Stones an all-new emotional, mature young adult romance from USA Today bestselling author Carmen Jenner is available now!

Alaska Stone is a walking wet dream.

My wet dream.

For years, I’ve watched her in the halls, wanted her, but she never knew I existed.

Not until she walked into my chemo session.

For me, it was love at first sight.

For her? It might take a little longer.

But hey, it’s not like we’re on a deadline or anything.

Excerpt

“Come here,” Styx says, giving my arm a weak tug.

“Where?”

“Come lie with me.”

I laugh and shake my head. “I can’t. I’ll squash your lines.”

“They’re plastic; they’ll bounce back.” His face turns serious, and the desperation in his eyes claws at my resolve. “Get your sweet ass up here, Stones. I wanna hold my girl.”

It takes a little maneuvering with his central line and heart-rate monitor, and my IV, but eventually I settle in against his side and he wraps his good arm around me, holding me as tightly as his weak body will allow.

I wish we had the power to make time wait for us.

I’d make it wait forever, right here. I’d use up all of the seconds it’s stolen from me, from us, and the lifetime it’s going to steal from our future. If I had the ability, I’d hit pause right here, and I’d never let him go.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

It’s taken me a few days to think about what I want to say about Styx & Stones. I knew it was going to be a tear-jerker. Harley & Rose by Carmen Jenner is a book I’ve read over and over again, and cry every time. I knew Styx was the young kid who Harley knows from chemo, so I knew what I was getting into when I started S&S. And it still gutted me.

Alaska Stone is the last person who Styx — battling his second round of stomach cancer — expects to see walk into the chemo treatment room at the hospital. They go to the same high school, but are worlds apart in social status, even though Styx has been crushing on her since they were 10. He’s kind of thrown off kilter, and acts like a massive jerk, leading the two to get off on the wrong foot. But a slow friendship starts to develop as they lean on one another to get through their treatment. Should Stones have the cranial surgery to remove her tumor, but the very surgery could leave her dead? Is Styx’s cancer terminal?

It’s heartbreaking and uplifting when Styx and Stones head out on his birthday road trip to Disneyland. All they want to do is be normal teenagers when their lives are anything but. They share so many sweet firsts over those few days, but their lives are forever changed at the same time when all starts to go downhill. The emotional upheaval had me in tears in the wee hours of the morning.

Despite his illness, Styx lives every day to the fullest, and teaches Stones how to do the same. It is far from a traditional YA romance, and the ending is far from a traditional happily ever after. But it is perfect for this young couple, and despite the tears and heartache I felt for them both, I ended the book with a smile on my face.

“We’re going to be late.”
“For what?”
“Forever.”

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

EXCERPT REVEAL

Title: Hate the Game

Author: Holly Hall

Release Date: September 12, 2019

Preorder: amzn.to/2HeAeED

EXCERPT

“What about you?”

He scratched his jaw with a thumb. “What about me?”

“After that interrogation, there’s no way you’re getting off easy.”

“Getting off.” He smirked.

“You’re a child.”

“I’m a man.”

I took one of the throw pillows from behind me and smacked him with it. Or tried to, but he fended it off. “Come on, what’s the story? You work in a cesspool of toned abs and pheromones. I know there’s a woman who loves to sweat and lift ungodly amounts of weight just as much as you do.”

He laughed. “You are something else.”

“So I’ve been told.”

“Anyway, that might be true, but I would say the essence is more body odor, less pheromone.” He shrugged. “I guess I haven’t had time to think about dating.”

“Are you kidding? You wouldn’t even have to leave work. You essentially have a conveyor belt of women, coming in and out of your gym for workouts. And afterward, you’re showing them how to cook. You’re telling me there’s been no heated glances? No meeting of eyes over the treadmills, no brushing of hands while you’re making boring grilled chicken, side by side?”

“Is that how you perceive my job?” Humor entered his gaze, twisted his mouth. “I’ll have you know, I’m very professional.”

I held up both palms. “Hey, I’m not making accusations. All I’m saying is, it could happen. I’m picturing all this in my head like a bad RomCom.”

“No chance. I wouldn’t even entertain the idea.”

“That’s it, who hurt you? Who made you this wary of heated glances and brushing body parts?”

The mirth eased from his eyes first, and then his mouth settled into a line. It wasn’t quite a frown; he wasn’t that transparent. But I could feel the gloom that’d slipped over him. Was it something I’d said?
