BLURB

How does a romance author with practically zero experience find inspiration to write raunchy bedroom scenes?

I listen to my best friend describe his hookups…in explicit detail.
Except, now I picture myself in every scenario.
It’s Olly’s fault…with his cocky smirk and dirty mouth, it was only a matter of time before my crush turned to obsession, and every scene I wrote became a fantasy I could never act out.

Because we are just friends.

So when I need to write a story about turning the good boy bad, it makes sense to stop relying on Olly’s experiences and get some of my own. Seducing our timid college professor will work.
Except I seduce on paper, not in real life…I have no clue where to start, but my dirty best friend does.

Olly

I’d do anything for my Lovely Lacey, but teaching her to seduce her way into another man’s bed drives me crazy.
Crazy enough to want what I shouldn’t.
Crazy enough…to join in.

This is a short and steamy friends-to-lovers story. It contains MF, MFM, MM scenes.

This is a short and steamy novella in Her Sweet Seduction Series. Each novella is stand-alone with new characters and spicy scenarios to enjoy anytime—but especially fun as a bedtime treat.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Welp, this audio is the very definition of hot and spicy. Teddy Hamilton tops the list of my favorite male narrators, and he was ON FIRE as Ollie in this audio duet. Paired with Savannah Peachwood as Lacey, these two were blazing hot.

Lacey is a college student who secretly writes romance books. However, she’s a bit inexperienced, so she lives vicariously through the escapades of her he-hoe best friend, Ollie, to write her racy scenes. But lately, Lacey has been in a bit of a slump thanks to writer’s block, and she’s hoping that she can get some real-world experience to draw from. After getting some spicy lessons from Ollie, Lacey decides to seduce one of their professors to get inspiration for her next novel — and it propels these two characters, who have secretly been pining for one another, to finally be up front about their feelings.

This was my first exposure to Adele Knight; I’m not sure if all of her books are as spicy as this one is, but man, oh man, was this spicy. I wasn’t a fan of one scene after Lacey and Ollie spent the night together, because he was clearly taking advantage of her. But other than that, this is totally one of those stories that will leave you hot and bothered. Especially listening to Teddy as Ollie.

This audio is just a little over 3 hours (the novella is 12 chapters), so it was a bingeable listen for me while I was doing work around the house. Definitely need the earbuds for this one, because it is spicy. I received a complimentary copy from the author and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Hidden Vows by Erin Graves

HIDDEN VOWS by Erin Graves is AVAILABLE NOW

Their vows were hidden in the past, but maybe it’s time to bring them into the light.

Abbey Selbey thought she met the love of her life when she was five years old, but clearly she was wrong. He broke her heart seventeen years ago, and yet no one can say she’s truly moved on. Living in the small town they grew up in, where everyone thinks they know their story, doesn’t help. But the fact he left and never looked back does.

Jude Murphy never wanted things to happen the way they did. If he’d been smarter, he never would have left Ashford Falls or Abbey, but sometimes life has other ideas. Staying away was in the best interest of everyone, even if it was the last thing he wanted.

Returning to town wasn’t part of the plan, especially with Abbey still living there, but just like life tore him away from everything he loved, it was determined to bring him back. Is it possible to forgive the past and move forward, or is the damage too far gone?

Hidden Vows is a second-chance, forced proximity, emotional, contemporary romance set in a fictional small town. It is the third and final book in the Love in Ashford Falls series but can be read as a standalone. Happily ever after, guaranteed!

What you will find inside this book:

  • Small Town Romance
  • Second Chance
  • “My Wife”
  • Forced Proximity
  • Forbidden Vibes
  • Return to Hometown
  • It’s Always Been You
  • Found Family

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Hidden Vows closes out Erin Graves’ Ashford Falls series, and Abbey and Jude’s story was painfully beautiful. Not only was this a second-chance story between childhood best friends and sweethearts, but it was a second-chance story for a divorced/secretly married couple, and those are my favorite kind of second-chance stories.

It’s been 17 years since Jude broke Abbey’s heart and left town, and he hasn’t been back since. (Except for one time that she didn’t know about, and Oh. My. Heart.) But when his father has a heart attack and falls into a coma, Jude receives a call that has him finally coming home. Ashford Falls is a small town, and as much as Abbey tries to avoid him, it’s impossible, especially since they end up living across the hall from one another.

There is a lot for them to go through before they can move forward. Hurt feelings, resentment, regret, guilt… and the issues with her manipulative father. I thought the pace at which the story unfolded was nicely done, and I was really rooting for Jude and Abbey to work out their issues by the time they got there.

Jude’s journal entries were really a nice touch to the “past” of their relationship. It was heartwrenching to read some of those, but they gave the relationship so much depth. Neither of them ever forgot about the other or really even moved on over the years, but finding out just how devoted Jude was to Abbey during their time apart was heartbreaking and beautiful. (I am a sucker for secret tattoos!)

Gage and Ava play a big part in this story as Abbey and Jude’s best friends, but there are appearances from Quinn and Declan as well, which I loved, having read their book.

I am sad to see Love in Ashford Falls come to an end, but I look forward to what’s next from this relatively new author! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Audio Review: Hollis by Ashley James

🎧🎧🎧 AVAILABLE NOW IN AUDIO HOLLIS by Ashley James! Narrated by the amazing Alexander Cendese and Brandon Francis! 🎧🎧🎧


When the universe hands me a hot, older, recently divorced man on a silver platter, who am I to turn down such a generous offer?

Big deal if he also happens to be my best friend’s boss.

Ford Wesley, Captain of the Wolf Creek Fire Department, is the whole package, with hair that’s a delicious mix of dark and silver strands, and deep brown eyes that hold a touch of mystery.

He’s also always been off the market… Until now.

When he gets caught in a bind and has to temporarily stay on my family’s property, I know it’s my chance to get closer to him, but I never expected it to be so easy.

One night, I match with an anonymous stranger on an app, and it doesn’t take long for things to go from innocent and flirty to raunchy and scorching.

Then when I catch a glimpse of my new neighbor shirtless one day, it becomes clear Mr. Tall, Broody, and Off Limits is the mystery man sending filthy messages to me every night online.

The best part? His profile may be anonymous, but mine isn’t… He knows exactly who he’s talking to.

The chemistry on the app morphs into a reality in the sheets…and at the firehouse, and what starts out as a secret, no-strings arrangement quickly becomes so much more. Before I know it, it’s not just his body I crave, but everything he keeps close to his heart as well.

But I’m not the settle down type, and he’s fresh out of a long marriage. When push comes to shove, will this turn into something more, or are we destined to crash and burn?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Hollis is a low-angst, low-drama age-gap story between playboy rancher Hollis and Ford, the older, recently divorced, boss of his best friend. The characters had a great connection, and I really enjoyed seeing them navigate a benefits situationship to something deeper.

I enjoyed the progression of their relationship. Having just come out of a 20+ year marriage, Ford was kind of clueless about how to go about dating. Hollis is a known playboy, so Ford was *really* hesitant to get involved with him at first, but they really brought out something special in one another. Ford knowing who Hollis was when they matched on the dating app (but Hollis not knowing who he was in return) really could have backfired, but instead it gave Hollis the opening to push Ford out of his comfort zone when it came to dating again. Hollis’ feelings for Ford kind of sneak up on him, even though he was all in long before he realized it. One of my favorite scenes was the one when he knew Ford was having a bad day and showed up unannounced with all the comfort items to just be there as a support system.

Alexander Cendese and Brandon Francis aren’t narrators I was very familiar with prior to this audio, but I absolutely loved their portrayals. Alexander really brought out that flirty side of Hollis, and Brandon brought a real vulnerable side to Ford. Well done!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Falling Too Soon by Michele Elizabethg

FALLING TOO SOON

Michele Elizabeth

Release Date: September 3

Blurb:

She wanted a quiet place to put her life back together. He was looking for inspiration. What they found was each other.

Daphne

I just left my narcissistic ass-hat of a boyfriend and decide to take myself on a basic bitch’s dream vacation to clear my head. Imagine my surprise when I arrive at my vacation rental to find it’s been double booked. The other occupant? Nathan— A charming, infuriatingly attractive, bestselling romance author with his own emotional baggage and a tendency to strut around in nothing but gray sweatpants.

Nathan

After my fiancé cheated and I broke off our engagement, I needed space. Hoping to find inspiration for my next novel, I head out of town, but when Daphne comes crashing into my life, things take a rather abrupt turn. She’s beautiful, funny, and kind. She’s the last thing I expected but may end up being exactly what I need.

Falling Too Soon is a steamy open-door romance featuring forced proximity, he-falls-first tension and a heart-melting happily ever after.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Falling Too Soon was like a spicy Hallmark movie… I was really impressed that this was a debut novel from Michele Elizabeth!

After breaking up with his cheating ex a few days before their wedding, Nathan changes the reservation at the lakeside cabin he’d rented for their honeymoon…. and the place ends up double-booked because Daphne rented the same cabin to get away after breaking things off with her narcissistic ex. Their first meeting is quite the mishap with a dropped bottle of wine, but Daphne and Nathan decide to make the most of the situation…. and end up having quite the fling. But will their instant connection translate to the real world when they leave the secluded bubble and get back to their everyday lives?

As I stated earlier, I was really impressed that this was a debut novel. It was clean read, the characters were well-rounded, and the story was well-written. My only complaint was that the sex seemed gratuitous at times. I’m no pearl-clutcher, but I found myself swiping through some of the spicy scenes because it just got to be too much.

I’m really looking forward to the rest of this series and finding out who Nathan’s brothers end up with! I will definitely be looking for more from this author in the future!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Boarding Pass by Kaylene Winter

BOARDING PASS

Kaylene Winter

Release Date: September 5

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

Love wasn’t on the itinerary. He crashed the trip.

I’m in Paris with an offer for a career-making solo photography exhibit.

I should be floating on champagne and designer euphoria.

Instead, I’m single and alone at a Tom Selleck-themed wine bar, wondering if thirty-two is too young to start over.

Then he walks in.

Messy hair, leather jacket, a smile I feel in places I haven’t for years.

One accidental wine spill and soul-shaking kiss later…

I’m about to make the most impulsive decision of my life.

I sold my company for freedom, not to get tied down.

Working like a fool is all I’ve ever known.

I need a hard reset. No expectations. No itinerary. Just a one-way ticket to Paris and a suitcase full of unresolved baggage.

Then I see her.

A knockout with wine-stained lips and eyes that could undo a man.

Our connection is instant, magical, impossible to ignore.

I didn’t come here to fall in love.

But I’m starting to think Paris had other plans.

Boarding Pass is a full-throttle, no-holds-barred romance, perfect if you love dirty talk in French bars, sunrise sex in five-star suites, and the kind of love that doesn’t ask permission.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Boarding Pass is a charming and sweet novella. It’s only 11 chapters, but it packs quite the romantic punch and is easily readable in a single sitting.

Miles (who is Shay’s twin/Austin’s best friend from The Flirt Alert) is kind of at a loss after he and Austin sell their gaming company. He’s not sure what to do with his life now that he’s a billionaire and not staying with his company, so he books a one-way ticket to Paris, leaving his next move to fate. Meanwhile, photographer Sophie is in Paris following a breakup, en route to visiting her parents in the French countryside. After an adorable meet-cute in a Tom Selleck/Magnum PI themed restaurant (BTW, I’d totally go there!), they end up spending an incredible night together that neither of them wants to end.

The one-night stand turns into Miles joining Sophie to visit her parents — and when you know, you know. There was a nice moment where Miles acknowledged how hard he was on Shay and Austin when they told him about their relationship because he thought it was too much, too soon — and he now realized how wrong he was because of his feelings for Sophie.

This book totally gave me Before Sunset vibes, that 1995 movie with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. Boarding Pass was short and sweet, but I felt like we got a full story out of Miles and Sophie, and it was just a feel-good, no-drama romance!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: The Last Call Home by Claudia Burgoa

From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes the emotional, suspenseful, and sizzling conclusion to the Timberbridge series—where danger ignites desire, and found family means no one gets left behind.

I didn’t mean to fall for a man—let alone two at once.

Especially not in the middle of a manhunt.

I moved back to Birchwood Springs to help my mom with the bakery.

What I got was a kidnapping, a conspiracy, and two men willing to burn the world down to protect me.

Malerick Timberbridge is broody, guarded, and far too used to being alone.

Cassian Harlan is the new bartender—or so he says. He’s chaos in a tactical vest and the only one who can crack Mal’s hardened exterior.

They’ve been through hell together.

But somehow, I’ve become the thread pulling them back together.

What we have isn’t simple.

It doesn’t follow rules. It doesn’t fit a label.

It just . . . is.

They make me feel seen.

Protected.

Wanted.

But this isn’t just about love.

It’s about survival.

This is our final stand.

And maybe—if we’re lucky—it’s the start of something that lasts.

The Timberbridge brothers’ journey ends here—where found family holds strong, secrets come undone, and love refuses to ask us to choose.

This is the LAST chapter of the Timberbridge Brothers… are you ready to say goodbye? 💔🔥

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

The Timberbridge Brothers series comes to a close with The Last Call Home and Sheriff Malerick Timberbridge. This book overlaps with Atlas and Kier’s books, so there are some plot points that are picked up in TLCH that aren’t necessarily fully explained. I definitely think this series needs to be read in order.

We find out what brought Malerick back to Birchwood Springs to take on the position of small-town sheriff after working for the FBI. We learn about his history with the mysterious Cassian and what the Hollow Syndicate is after. More specifically, WHO the syndicate is after. The questions and loose ends get tied up, and along the way, a nice poly relationship forms between Mal, Cass, and Delilah. I liked the twists and turns in the suspense of this story, but I really loved the character growth of Mal and Cass from the start to the end.

I really loved Jason Clarke and JF Harding as Cassian and Mal, respectively. I could listen to those two speak all day long! I wasn’t as crazy about Dominique Franceschi, and I don’t think it was her narration as much as it was the character; Delilah irked me. I sometimes got distracted during her inner dialogue, and I just didn’t find her to be as well-written as the guys.

Overall, this was a solid series-ender! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Poor, tortured Max Tailor gets his long-overdue and well-deserved happy ending in Ebbing Tides — and it is with Melanie Corbin from Spider & The Storm!

Ebbing Tides picks up 10 years after Crashing Waves. It’s been a decade since Laura and their unborn baby died, since Max lost his stepdaughters, and he’s been living a lonely existence with his dog as the night watchman at the same Salem cemetery where Charlie (aka Spider) works, and caring for his dying father. But then, one night, Charlie’s visiting sister-in-law finds her way to the guard gate, and both Charlie and Melanie immediately sense a familiarity between them. That’s because they met 10 years earlier, when Max’s car broke down in a small Connecticut town, and they spent a few hours together.

The book takes place over the course of a week, during which Melanie and Charlie agree to give in to the connection between them for as long as she is in town. But seven days are not enough for these two. But there are so many factors working against them, and it’s not just the fact that Melanie lives in Connecticut. Max is so haunted by his past — not just the loss of his wife, but the torment he suffered at the hands of his abusive father for his entire life, and never knowing why.

Even though this book takes place over the course of a week, there is so much action packed into it. And Max gets all the answers he’s been looking for as far as his parents are concerned, reunites with his stepdaughters, and gets his HEA with Melanie.

I did not realize when I read the first book in this duet who Melanie and Luke were in Kelsey Kingsley’s world — and I loved how she connected the two stories (and then even gave readers a cameo from Soldier and Rain).

Well done, Kelsey! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Entirely Yours by Rachel Lewis

ENTIRELY YOURS by Rachel Lewis is AVAILABLE NOW

Jules Bardot is ready to change things up. After years of teaching music at the local high school, he’s roped his brothers into opening Bardot Brothers Coffee Co.—a dream that’s been put on the back burner. What he didn’t plan on was an unexpected surprise in the form of Thea Rose: the somehow cute and sexy, single mom who just moved to town… and the woman he never thought he’d see again.

Thea Rose wants to start over. Joining Ballet Boston gave her a taste of the big-city life, but she never expected to stay, especially after her daughter was born, effectively ending her ballet career. Now she has the chance to get back to her small-town roots, raising her daughter outside of the hustle and bustle of the city. Only problem? Her quiet and broody failed attempt at a one-night stand is everywhere… and she can’t bring herself to avoid temptation.

Just as Jules and Thea finally give in, they get the ultimate plot twist: two pink lines. Jules is thrilled, but Thea… well, she’s been down this road before. Can she give Jules the chance he’s asking for and risk building a family with him? Or will she continue to do what she does best and hold him at arm’s length in an effort to protect her own heart? Jules is determined to strike the balance between loving Thea and letting her find her own stride, ready to make her, and their growing family, entirely his.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Entirely Yours was absolutely charming! I fell hard and fast for Jules and Thea and was rooting for them to get their happily ever after!

Jules meets Thea while she’s working at a bar the night before she’s moving from Boston. He’s a musician, in town for a gig. The connection between them is instant, but their one-night stand hits a snag. A week or so later, Thea, her dad, and her adorable daughter have moved to their new town, where she’s opening a dance studio next door to the cutest cafe-in-the-making. Thea gets quite a surprise when her new neighbor looks exactly like the guy she had an almost-fling with… just without tattoos. It’s Jules’ brother, Ben, and soon Thea and Jules’ lives become intertwined.

I loved watching these two characters grow and evolve. Jules was so patient with Thea as she worked through her insecurities and the issues she had because of her past relationship with her daughter’s father. He shows up for her time and time again, and not just giving her family a place to live when their apartment floods. I loved how excited he got when Thea learned she was pregnant, and how Jules and his family took in Thea, her dad, and Chloe, and adopted them as part of their own family.

The found family, the romance between the main characters, the character development, the slow burn… this book was a delight!

This is the first book I’ve read by Rachel Lewis, and I will definitely check out the rest of this series. I read an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Chasing Forever by Piper Rayne

CHASING FOREVER is now live in Kindle Unlimited and in Audio 🤠

It was a fun Vegas getaway—until I woke up married to my ex-fiancé’s brother.

After Watson brother #1 ditched me at the altar, I stopped believing in happily-ever-afters. So I have no clue how I ended up saying “I do” to Brooks—Watson brother #2—somewhere between tequila shots and bad decisions.

Okay, that may not be true.

Sheriff Watson has been a charming thorn in my side ever since his brother left our small ranch town in his rearview mirror. He’s a little too steady, a little too sweet, and way too intuitive because he sees through my facade. But no matter how tempting he is, he’s still a Watson.

I demand an annulment. He refuses, bargaining four real dates before he signs.

Fine. I’ll sabotage each one and keep my heart safely locked away. It’s easier this way because he has no idea the secret I’m keeping.

Of course, Brooks doesn’t go down easy—he has enough faith for both of us. He tackles my fears at every turn, making me wonder what would happen if I went all in.

But trusting the wrong man once nearly ruined me—doing it again might finish the job.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Oh my heart! Brooks and Lottie’s story was perfection! Slow and steady wins the race and after loving Lottie from the shadows for years (“long before” he was allowed to!), Brooks Watson finally gets the girl in Chasing Forever.

After accidentally getting married while in Vegas, Brooks grabs hold of the opportunity he has to convince her that he’s the guy she’s meant to be with and refuses to grant Lottie an annulment until she goes out on several dates with him. Lottie, of course, wants nothing to do with being married to Brooks after the way his brother humiliated her by standing her up on their wedding day ten years prior.

Lottie’s fear about getting involved with Brooks isn’t just about public perception. She has some deep-rooted issues of not being good enough because her ex really did a number on her. And dependable, stable Brooks just keeps showing up to prove to her that she is very much quite enough for him!

After seeing all that they go through (and how much Brooks just ADORES her), it was crystal clear when we finally got to meet his brother that she had been with the wrong one the first time around!

Stephen Dexter and Vanessa Edwin brought so much to this duet narration, perfectly capturing all the nuances of the characters and their complex relationship.

I am so happy that Piper Rayne is continuing the Plain Daisy Ranch series with the Owens branch of the family tree! I can’t wait to see what comes next! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Rulebreaker by Kat Mizera & Elise Faber

RULEBREAKER

Kat Mizera & Elise Faber

Release Date: August 25

She’s everything I shouldn’t want.

But that’s never stopped me before.

I didn’t become a billionaire before the age of thirty by playing it safe. I’m a risk-taker…except when it comes to matters of the heart.

Until Lily.

The pop phenom is all legs and curves, with a boisterous laugh and a wicked sense of humor—everything that drives me crazy. She drives me crazy.

But the more we butt heads, the more I crave the sound of her voice…the feel of her body against mine.

Except I’m positive she’s hiding something from me. Something big.

I let someone else keep secrets once—I won’t allow that again.

She’s mine.

And I won’t stop until she knows it.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

I have been waiting for Atlas and Lily’s story since the epilogue chapter of the previous book, and Elise Faber and Kat Mizera gave me a story that included everything I was hoping for!

Atlas is a grumpy, closed-off billionaire who barely trusts anyone and Lily is a bubbly country/pop star — and he becomes adorably tongue-tied around her. Both of these characters are workaholics, so much of their togetherness takes place in bits and pieces in between her concert dates. I loved how Atlas made the most out of those visits, being Mr. Romantic. They had a very easygoing relationship, supported one another and became the other’s landing space, After watching his friends find love, Atlas finally found someone himself… but Lily has a huge secret she’s kept buried and it very well may cause their relationship to come skidding to a stop.

There’s a HEA to this story, so no worries there. There’s a great grand gesture, and these two get the happy ending they deserve!

The Gamebreakers books are all interconnected standalones, but this found family/band of brothers is so worth getting to know by reading all of the individual books. And that teaser in the epilogue for Briar’s story! OMG I can’t wait!!
