About BITTER RIVAL:

Enemies to Lovers

Forced Proximity

Who Hurt You

Slow Burn

Grumpy X Sunshine

All the Banter and Steam

BLURB

Spending the summer on a vineyard sounds idyllic. But my California dream comes with strings attached—forced proximity with the insufferable Beckett Heyward.

He loathes me and okay, I get it, but it’s not my fault his father bequeathed me half of the Sutton Ridge estate.

Not that we actually own it yet. First, we have to meet the conditions—to live and work on the vineyard for three consecutive months. Together.

God help me. I don’t know how I’ll survive three minutes under the scrutiny of his piercing blue gaze let alone three months.

What do I care if my childhood crush has broad shoulders and sculpted abs now?

His roguish good looks and dimpled smile leave me cold. What smile? All he ever does is scowl and brood and march around, barking out orders.

Oh, I know what he’s up to, but good luck trying to cut me out of the inheritance.

Granted, he was his father’s only son, and sure, I’m only the stepdaughter. But I’m not the evil villain in this fairy tale.

I’m just the girl tasked with the impossible—to convince my bitter rival to keep the vineyard.

And to not, under any circumstances, fall in love with Beckett Heyward.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Bitter Rival is a great new start to a new series by Emery Rose Andrews. There is a lot of push and pull between Beckett and Daisy in this enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, grumpy/sunshine, coworkers story. While the story overall is pretty low-angst, they are complicated characters with emotional baggage, and they both go through quite a transformation.

Beckett and Daisy are given joint ownership of a winery after his dad dies. Technically, they are former stepsiblings, but it’s been quite some time since they’ve seen one another. She’s always felt at home at the winery, and he wants nothing to do with her, his estranged father, or the vineyard. I loved the setting of Sutton Ridge, and the banter between these two characters kept me hooked on the story.

Emery Rose Andrews did a wonderful job of crafting a slow burn, opposites attract story between a heroine who is the sunniest of bright flowers and the surliest of grumpy heroes. I enjoyed Bitter Rival so much, and I can’t wait to see what comes next in the Sutton Ridge series!

Cash by Jessica Peterson is now live!

Butting heads leads to knocking boots in this wildly sexy enemies-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine, small town cowboy romance by Jessica Peterson.

My dad and I have been estranged for years. But as his only living relative, it’s no surprise I inherit his massive cattle ranch when he dies. Something that is a surprise? The stipulation in his will, which requires me to live on the ranch and actively manage it for a year before I can access my inheritance money.

I haven’t stepped foot in Hartsville, Texas, population one thousand, since my parents split when I was six. Now a city girl through and through, I never imagined having to move back to cowboy country. But I need the money to invest in my company, and a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.

There’s just one giant roadblock to my plan: the ranch’s foreman, grumpy cowboy Cash Rivers. I don’t care how good he looks in his Wranglers and chaps. He’s rude, he’s growly, and he wants me gone. I’d fire him in a heartbeat, but I need this cowboy to teach me the ropes of running a ranch.

We’re enemies from the get-go. But turns out, Cash is really good at this ranch thing. He’s got strong hands, an intelligent mind, and let’s just say everything really is bigger in Texas. Working alongside him leads to conversations beneath the stars. Throw in some cheek-to-cheek dancing at the local dive bar, and it all feels so right that I start to fall in love with life on the ranch. And maybe with him, too.

But my stay in Hartsville is only temporary. And you know what they say about cowboys: they may break horses, but they also break hearts. If only Cash hadn’t already lassoed mine…

CASH is the first standalone book in the brand new steamy, interconnected Lucky River Ranch Series!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Cash by Jessica Peterson is a great start to a new series. I knew it was going to be a grumpy/sunshine, enemies-to-lovers cowboy romance, but it also touched upon family drama, grief, loss, and healing.

After Mollie’s estranged father dies, she is expecting to get an inheritance of cash that she can turn around and place into her boot business. Instead, she inherits the entire ranch, and a stipulation in her father’s will requires her to live there for a year. Meanwhile, ranch foreman Cash was under the impression that the ranch would be left to him. Mollie’s dad had been a surrogate father to him after his own parents passed away, and he couldn’t understand how she could have been so cold towards a parent that loved her so much. So not getting the ranch (which he was hoping could help him restore his own family’s neighboring property) was a real stick in his craw.

There is nothing but distrust and dislike between Cash and Mollie at first. Yet as Mollie learns the ways of ranch life, she falls in love with the land, and eventually even with moody Cash. This slow-burn romance was lovely. These characters are wonderfully written, and I loved seeing how their feelings toward each other changed along the way!

I can’t wait to see the other Rivers brothers find their soulmates! I am going to keep Cash on my re-read list!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I loved this beautiful story between Shep and Thea! Catherine Cowles always does a lovely job of penning a heroine in danger and Delicate Escape is right up there as one of the best!

After getting to know Thea the tiniest bit in Fragile Sanctuary, I couldn’t wait for her story. And her romance with Shep was EVERYTHING. I loved the connection between the two, and especially how patient he was with gaining her trust. After all that Thea had been through with her ex — and that is A LOT — the walls she had built around herself were sky-high. Slowly but surely, Shep gained her trust, and in return, she got the extended family, found family, that she desperately needed in Sparrow Falls. I also really liked how Thea seemed to give Shep a purpose. He was swimming in guilt after what happened to Rhodes in Fragile Sanctuary, and helping Thorne fix the plumbing issue at her house gave him some much-needed relief of that guilt. Watching them fall in love was magical!

This book is sweet and swoony, with the perfect amount of suspense mixed in. Narrators Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon were *chef’s kiss* with the audio. Teddy is my favorite male narrator, and I absolutely loved how he said “Thorn” throughout this book!

We also get to know the rest of the siblings a little bit more in this book, and catch up plenty with Rhodes and Anson. And Lolli is back with her diamond art in the most hilarious of ways! I can’t wait for the next book in this series!

𝘾𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙄𝙘𝙚 by Julia Connors is NOW AVAILABLE IN AUDIO with Teddy Hamilton & Andi Arndt narrating!

TROPES:

Hockey player

Single mom

Secret baby

Second chance

He falls first, and hard

BLURB:

I’ve always been a wild card – the first to start a fight on the ice, and the life of the party off it – but appearances can be deceiving.

Being traded to the Boston Rebels could not have come at a better time. With serious family obligations to fulfill and a contract renewal with a new hockey team on the line, I have no time for anything else. I return to Boston knowing I need to buckle down and focus on what really matters.

But the first night I’m back in town, I come face to face with Audrey, my college calculus tutor. We had a brief fling right before I was drafted into the NHL. Now, her five year old son is standing by her side, and I don’t need a tutor to do that kind of math.

Audrey insists she doesn’t want me involved in Graham’s life unless I can commit to being a dad. With everything else going on, this is the worst possible timing.

But every minute I spend with Graham and Audrey feels exactly right, and I’m left questioning everything I thought I wanted.

Because now my goals are shifting, and getting what I really want might come at the expense of the game I’ve given my entire life to.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 3.5 Stars

Center Ice was a cute second-chance, secret baby romance from a new-to-me author.

Five years ago, before Drew got drafted to the NHL and moved away, he had a fling with his college math tutor, Audrey. Now he’s back in town… and discovers that he has a young son. While this story was enjoyable, albeit predictable, I felt like there was more smut than substance. I wanted to see more between Drew, Audrey and Graham than I did. I felt I was *told* more than I was *shown* — and this book had a great premise and a lot of promise, so I was a bit disappointed.

But… I listened to this on audio, so I got to hear my fave, Teddy Hamilton, along with Andi Arndt. And I will listen to Teddy read anything.

Falling Like Stars by Emma Scott is now live! 

From USA Today and the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Full Tilt comes an emotional romance…

She kept her heart guarded and locked away…until she gave it to the world’s biggest movie star.

In the dazzling world of Hollywood where fame and glamour reign supreme, award-winning megastar Zachary Butler longs for something more than red carpet events and paparazzi flashes. As he navigates fame and tries to extricate himself from his celebrity ex-fiancée, he discovers an unexpected spark with Rowan Walsh, a production assistant on his latest project.

Rowan, haunted by a devastating moment in her past, shields her heart behind walls of guilt, letting no one in. But Zachary’s genuine affection and desire for a meaningful life begin to chip away at her defenses. As their connection deepens, Rowan must battle the self-destructive patterns that have held her back from embracing her passions and finding true love, while Zachary must reveal his own hidden scars–wounds he’s borne in silence for years–if he hopes to heal.

Can Zachary and Rowan confront their pasts to build a future together, or will the storms of scandal, tangled relationships, and the scrutiny of stardom ruin their hopes for a perfect Hollywood ending?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

t’s been a while since Emma Scott gave us a new book, and she delivered a great one with Rowan and Zach’s second chance-ish story! I loved the connection between these two, especially that she didn’t care he is one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. They just got each other right from the start, because their brokenness called out to each other.

Rowan has been drowning in grief and guilt for a decade. Yet somehow, Zach gets through those walls. Yet their first few encounters are missed opportunities, as she needs to deal with the trauma she’s carrying around from a defining moment in her life. Zach has his own baggage to deal with — boy, does he have trauma! I loved, loved, loved, seeing the vulnerability in his character! He’s been suffering in silence for years, carrying around invisible scars, and that impacts his ability to leave his past behind and move forward with Rowan.

Both of these broken characters put in a lot of work to get to a healthy place. They make each other happy, they complement each other wonderfully, and I loved reading their journey to that hard-won HEA!

RELUCTANTLY ROGUE by Erin Nicolle

The gorgeous, brilliant woman I have dirty dreams about every damned night?
She’s my best friend’s fiancée.
She’s supposed to be queen someday.
She’s off-limits.

But I can’t walk away.
I’m supposed to protect her.
Maybe even be her friend.

I should not be lusting after her.
And I absolutely cannot fall in love with her.

But I can’t forget that one spontaneous, stolen kiss. I can’t stop taking care of her. I can’t stop wanting her secrets. I can’t get over her smiles, her laughter, her happiness. I can’t get over her.

So, while my head knows she can’t be mine, my heart doesn’t care.
And if it comes down to choosing between her or… everything…I won’t have to think twice.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I loved Jonah and Linnea’s story! Does it get any more forbidden than the crown prince’s bodyguard/best friend secretly being in love with his charge’s fiancee?

I really liked that Linnea and Jonah developed a solid friendship during their late-night kitchen talks. The chemistry between them was sizzling, and even though they each felt a strong attraction from the moment she (literally!) first walked in on him, they became great friends and tried to stave off acting on their feelings.

During a trip to the US — during which Jonah was accompanying Linnea while she went out on dates with Torin-approved guys in order to get out of the marriage contract their grandparents had put in place decades ago — everything changes between them. The “lessons” Jonah gives Linnea so that she knows how to flirt and date were HOT. And I loved that he seemed tortured by what he was doing, not knowing that she really wanted to be with him as much as he wanted to be with her!

Jason Clarke and Melissa Moran did a delicious job with this audio. Done in duet style, the story effortlessly flows back and forth between both narrators. I got a chill every time Jason’s Jonah called Linnea “Dutchess” — Wowza!

The timeline of Reluctantly Rogue overlaps with Reluctantly Royal — Torin’s relationship with Abigail plays into the end of this book, as part of the plan for Jonah and Linnea to be together. Having previously read Reluctantly Royal, I knew what was coming ahead, but it was great to see how it all weaves together. And then the King drops that other piece of the pact on all of them at the royal wedding… I can’t wait to see what comes next!

AN ENDLESS MEMORY by Marie Johnston

Release Date: August 15

Blurb:

Get married or move out. Those are my options, thanks to the trust my grandma left and my aunt is determined to enforce.

From Marie Johnston comes a single-mom, marriage-of-convenience romance.

If I don’t get married, I’ll have to find somewhere to live that I can afford with two kids and a lot of debt—and do it without losing my brand-new job. When my aunt confronts me on the move-out deadline, I try to buy time. I blurt out a name. I tell her I’m engaged to Eliot Knight.

Eliot’s my boss’s brother and he’s been around the vet clinic where I work. He’s hot. He’s charming. He’s who I’d pick if I had to marry someone at a moment’s notice. But he wasn’t supposed to hear me. He wasn’t supposed to get dragged into my mess. And he wasn’t supposed to agree to help me. Now, we’re Mr. and Mrs. Knight.

We only need to be married for a year, and he runs his family’s ranch in another town. Three hours away. Yet circumstances keep throwing us together, and I get a lot of time with my new husband. I fall hard the first time I hear him say, “My wife.”

But our lives are still separate. At the end of the year, I’m afraid I’ll get to keep my house, but I’ll lose my heart and be left with nothing but endless memories.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

I’ve been on a marriage-of-convenience kick lately, so An Endless Memory was right up my current trope alley!

I’ve really enjoyed getting to know this family, and I thought that Lily and her adorable kids are a great addition to the Knights. I loved how Elliot clicked with Cali right away, and seemed to be a baby whisperer with little Kellan.

Much of Lily and Elliot’s relationship is long-distance, and I really would have liked to have seen them together more. The times that they are together are great, and it feeds into the slow burn of this relationship. After all that Lily went through with her jerk of an ex, she deserved someone to treat her like a queen. And once Elliott got out of his own way, they got the HEA that they both deserved.

Hire A Cuddler by Hope Ford is NOW LIVE

King is a determined billionaire… posing as a professional cuddler to get close to me.

He’s the type of man who always gets what he wants, and right now, he wants me—the socially awkward, plus-size model with intimacy issues.

I’ve never had anyone hold me, hug me – or even love me –  and my therapist thinks a professional cuddler will help break down the walls I’ve built to protect my heart.

I’m skeptical at best…

But King is so good at holding me together that the line between professional and personal quickly blurs, igniting a passion I’m not prepared for

King and I might be fifteen years apart, but our connection is undeniable.

When his true identity is revealed, I feel betrayed.

Until he proposes an irresistible deal: a fake marriage. He gets what he desires, and I get what I need.

I reluctantly agree… with boundaries of course.

Now, I just have to keep reminding myself that this isn’t real.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 3 Stars

I was intrigued by the blurb for Hire a Cuddler, and found the concept of hiring a professional cuddler fascinating. Is that a real thing?

As it turns out, Haven has intimacy issues, so she seeks out professional help from a “cuddler” as some last-resort therapy. While she’s meeting with the guy at a hotel office space, handsome older billionaire Ridge/King sees her and becomes… well, obsessed. As billionaires obsessed with pretty ladies are wont to do, he throws some money around and pretty much hijacks Haven as a client.

Although Haven is crushed when she learns that King was hiding his true identity from her, she agrees to continue seeing him… and even agrees to a fake marriage. But then more things happen, and…. I was already having issues with these characters before this point. I felt Haven could have stood up for herself more, and while Ridge was supposed to be a suave, older man, he came off as a spoiled overgrown frat boy. He knew she had intimacy issues, and thought that lying to her about who he really was as a means of getting closer to her would make her fall for him? And then he said some pretty mean things to her during their fight without even giving her a chance to explain or speak her say, So by the time I got to the miscommunication/breakup, I was underwhelmed by the lack of groveling from Ridge/King. I wanted more groveling from him, and I didn’t want her to take him back so easily! He owed her more than what he gave her.

Hire A Cuddler had some really cute moments. It’s a quick read, but… overall, it wasn’t my favorite.

*********************

I’ll admit, I made more than my fair share of stupid decisions, but all it took was an accidental felony and a teensy kitchen fire to turn my life upside down.

When my parents cut me off, selling my swanky Los Angeles apartment and shipping me off to some ranch in the middle of nowhere to teach me a lesson, I thought it was the worst thing that could happen to me.

Then I got to Safe Haven Ranch and met my new boss.

Zach Paulson is an older, grumpy cowboy who thinks I’m nothing more than a spoiled princess and doesn’t want me on his turf. He also happens to be drop-dead gorgeous, and can wear a faded pair of Wranglers better than any other man alive.

The dumbest thing I can do is fall into lust with the temperamental rancher. Unfortunately, I’m not exactly known for making good choices.

But I’m determined to do better this time. I want to prove to myself and everyone else that I’m more than the shallow, self-absorbed socialite I’ve been playing at for years. I have a plan. Keep my head down, do my work, and don’t make any mistakes.

The problem is, I’m not the only one with a crush, and all my defenses are useless against a man like Zach when he puts his mind to getting what he wants.

Ah, I loved this book!! The Little Things is the first story in Jessica Prince’s next-generation Hope Valley series. We have Zach — the orphan that Rory and Cord adopted in Stay With Me, now all grown up and a sexy cowboy — and Rae, the spoiled socialite daughter of Alma and Roan from Vamp.

After making a string of really stupid mistakes, Rae’s mom and dad ship her off to Hope Valley where she has to work on Rory’s son’s farm. Needless to say, Zach is none too happy to have Hollywood forced on him. He goes out of his way to make things hard for her, but Rae is a spitfire and she doesn’t give up very easily. Somewhere along the way, that disdain turns to lust and then to something more between these two. And the little things about the other that once annoyed them to no end aren’t so annoying anymore…

I really enjoyed the journey that Zach and Rae went on. I thought their connection was well written. There was sizzling chemistry from the start, and this book checked off all the boxes for an enemies-to-lovers story.

I am really looking forward to more in the Second Hope series! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
