Where There’s a Will by Ember Hughes is NOW LIVE

Blurb:

Where There’s A Will is book one in the Trail of Tears duet, the debut novel of Ember Hughes. 

Kinleigh
Colton rescued me when we were young.
He breathed life into me during our years together…
Before I was forced to sever ties.
No matter how much it hurt, no matter how much I hated it–
I had no choice. Because my father, Forrest Conway, gets what he wants. At all costs.
When Colton turns up ten years later… in my father’s cellar, as a captive, he doesn’t just want to be set free, but he wants to rescue me, too.
Again.
The thing is, I’m not the only one who needs rescuing. 
And I’d give my life to save theirs. 
Will he let me?

Colton
I’ve lived the last ten years believing I’m a bad brother and a no-good boyfriend. Not good enough to keep, at least.
My father’s passing brings me back home to Buffalo Trails, to the graveyard of my lost love. 
What I learn while I’m “home” is terrifying. 
And that’s before I’m taken captive. 
Things only get worse from there.
Until I see her. 
Kinleigh Conway. My heart and soul.
Thin. Bruised. Not speaking. 
I know no matter how bad I have it, I’ll fight until the end to save her.
It’s the only choice.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Where There’s A Will is the first book written by author Daisy Jane under the pen name Ember Hughes. Having never read anything by Daisy Jane before, I wasn’t sure what to expect… Wow, this story blew me away!

Colton and Kinleigh’s story is dark — be sure to check out the list of trigger warnings because it is lengthy and this book deals with some really difficult topics. Parts of it were very difficult to read because of the content involved, but I am glad I pushed through. It’s raw and emotional. Even though Kinleigh is mute, and she can’t verbally communicate with Colton, the connection between them is still so incredibly strong even 10 years after they broke up.

When Colton realized what Kinleigh had been going through at the hands of her father… Oh, my heart! My heart broke for these two over and over again. Despite everything Kinleigh had been through, she showed such strength and grace and resiliency. I was in awe of her dedication to Colton and setting him free.

The book ended with several questions lingering, mainly about Kinleigh’s father. I hope they are answered in the next book. I’m really looking forward to getting to know Carsyn better!

Blurb:

What started out as a night of fun at a Vegas hotspot somehow turned into saying “I Do” by an Elvis impersonator. 

If you think that’s bad, it gets worse. My new husband lied to me and told me he ran a not-for-profit. That couldn’t be further from the truth.

Imagine my surprise when I realized I married one of the best tight ends in the league. 

Did I mention my uncle owns the team?

If you think things couldn’t get any more complicated, our plans to get an annulment are unexpectedly put on hold. So, now I’m trapped in this unforeseen marriage until we can find a way out. He assured me not to worry, proposing a temporary solution—move in with him and keep our relationship a secret. 

Except, the more I get to know my husband, the more I want to stay married, especially when he calls me—”his wife”. 

But life doesn’t always go as planned, especially when my uncle intercepts our news before we have a chance to tell him. 

Now his spot on the team is at risk, my heart is on the line, and the fallout could cost us everything.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Fumbled Arrangement is the first book I’ve read by S. Jones, and I really enjoyed reading Rhett and Natalie’s story! I thought the title of this book was perfectly fitting for this couple, who got married while drunk in Vegas, develop real feelings for each other, and then it all gets botched up.

What I really liked about Natalie and Rhett is their insecurities; I thought that made them both very relatable characters. She has baggage from her previous relationship: her ex, a pro hockey player, cheated on her, leading her to feel like she won’t be enough to hold Rhett’s interest long-term. Rhett has always been a playboy and never wanted to settle down until he met Natalie. His worries about not being good enough for her are compounded by his family dynamics. He’s always been the black sheep and feels that his parents don’t approve of his career choice in playing professional football.

Despite their drunk wedding night, Rhett and Natalie decide to see if there is anything real between them. Over the next few weeks, they really get to know one another. There was an intense attraction between them from the get-go, and I really loved how these two characters built on that. Despite having never been in a committed relationship before, Rhett was all in when it came to being with Natalie. It took her longer to catch up, and I loved how dedicated he was to proving to her that he was in it for the long haul.

There’s a forbidden aspect to this story as well, since Natalie’s uncle owns Rhett’s team and made it clear that his players were off-limits to her. When that particular drama hits the fan, it leads to a third-act breakup. But there is some good groveling that comes afterward!

Overall, I really enjoyed this story and I want to go back and read the rest of the Atlanta Arrows series!

Salty Pickle by JJ Knight is NOW LIVE!

I’m headed to New York to confront the man I met on New Year’s Eve eight months ago.

I had to bring my goat.

And…I’m eight months pregnant.

The man I’m meeting in his fancy New York office is the saltiest hunk of male beauty you never want to cross. He wouldn’t know a smile if you drew one on his face.

I slept with him on a dare. Yes, we used protection.

Faulty protection, apparently.

I was going to raise the baby in my Colorado yurt with my pet goat Matilda. My two best girlfriends were going to be the other moms, but their lives moved on.

I’m a yoga teacher with forty dollars to my name. I had to hitchhike to get here.

I didn’t have a goat-sitter, so I’m loading Matilda onto the subway and headed to Wall Street.

It’s time to confront a salty baby daddy in a place called Pickle Media.

Salty Pickle is a salty-sunshine story between a city boy and a country girl who are thrown together with a newborn, a goat, and a goat baby, and more poop cleanup than should ever grace the pages of a romance novel, but here we are. It’s part of the Top 100 Pickleverse of rom coms, but you do not need to read any of the other books before this one. You can start your wild adventure with the Pickle family right here.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Salty Pickle is a hilarious standalone romcom set in JJ Knight’s Pickleverse. Court Armstrong is a cousin of the OG Pickle brothers, and the boss at Uncle Sherman’s media outpost, Pickle Media. Eight months ago, on New Years Eve, Court spent a rather entertaining 90 minutes with Lucy Brown — and now, with $40 to her name and out of options, she has come to New York City to track down her babydaddy. With her goat Matilda in tow.

These two characters are as different as can be, but they work so well together. Their first meeting is hysterical. Court is completely blindsided by the arrival of Lucy and Matilda, and isn’t sure that he is actually her baby’s father. Still, Court agrees to find Lucy a place to stay until she has the baby and they can do a paternity test. As the two (well, three!) of them spend time together during the last few weeks of Lucy’s pregnancy, Court and Lucy really get to know each other. I really enjoyed the progression of their friendship-turned-romance. But just when everything seems to be on the right track, Court and Lucy have a bl0w-out fight. Will they be able to patch it up before it’s too late?

Like the rest of the books in the Pickleverse, this book is so fun. JJ Knight delivers another hysterical story.

Twisted Truths by P. Rayne is now live! 

A dark contemporary billionaire romance with a tortured hero, touch her and die, and secret society tropes from USA Today Bestselling Author duo P. Rayne.

My life changed forever the day I saved Obsidian Voss from drowning in the ocean.

When my father lands himself in trouble, I take a job working for Obsidian, one of the country’s most famous billionaires. It doesn’t take long for me to realize that there’s more behind the façade he presents to the world—a darker, more dangerous side.

Still, I’m drawn to him. As he introduces me to a world I never knew existed, I find myself falling for him. But I’m torn because I came to Midnight Manor with a hidden agenda, and I’ve been lying to Obsidian from the start. Eventually, he’s going to find out.

My secret will change everything. And if Obsidian really is the monster he thinks he is, what will he do to me?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

P Rayne’s gothic series, Midnight Manor, concludes with Obsidian and Ariana’s story in Twisted Truths. This series of reimagined fairy tales was so fun to read. I loved each and every one of the Voss brothers, and how Piper & Rayne took nuggets of those beloved tales and spun them into these sweeping, dark, and broody romances all centered around four brothers, each equally tortured in his own way.

Closing out the series, Twisted Truths is a retelling of The Little Mermaid. I loved broody Sid and his struggles. He didn’t think he was good enough for Ariana and believed that he wasn’t worthy of having love in his life because his monster of a father had labeled him a monster as well. Even though Ariana was hiding a big part of herself from Obsidian (including why she was working for him), she was all in with their relationship… Well, as much as she could be.

This romance was a delicious slow burn. There was so much angst between these two, and their sizzling chemistry was off the chart. As with the rest of the books, the spice level is pretty high (especially given that the Voss brothers run a secret $ex club). I thought that the build-up to Ari’s initiation into the club was well-paced, and I was invested in the couple by the time they got there. And once who Ari really is and what she was doing comes to light, Obsidian has a decision to make. Will he recognize that her deception was done out of her love for her own family, or cast her aside?

Narrators Sebastian York and Kit Swann knocked it out of the park. I went back and forth between the ARC and ALC on this one, and even listened to some scenes while I read just so I could hear SebYo lend his sexy velvet voice to Obsidian while I was reading the written words.

All four books in the Midnight Manor series can be read as standalone stories, but I recommend reading them in order to get the full effect.

🩵

Flat on my back is not how I imagined meeting my new boss and hot-as-sin rock star. But here I am . . .

If I didn’t already have amnesia, I’d be wishing for it now.

In my defense, Laird Faris was only wearing a shameless smirk and a towel wrapped around his chiseled abs when we met.

Brooding.

Devastatingly handsome.

Utterly intolerable.

Naturally, I’m instantly attracted to him.

It’s not only his broad shoulders and gorgeous face that wreck my equilibrium, but also a distinct tattoo on his chest that matches one on my hip.

Our chemistry is off the charts.

Searing kisses make his grumpiness bearable.

Every touch we share is full of fire and flashes of memories, making me wonder if our connection isn’t destiny after all.

But do the secrets he hides behind his icy blue eyes have something to do with the weekend I can’t remember and the past he can’t forget?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

AH. MAY. ZING. Poppy and Laird’s story has earned itself a place on my re-read list.

Two years ago, Poppy and Laird spent an amazing night together. Total instalove. But then, she was in a horrible accident the next day and had zero recollection of the weekend they spent together. So when destiny brings them back together — she’s hired as a private chef to cook for a rockstar in the middle of a personal crisis — she has zero idea who her grumpy, angry, new boss is.

Oh, but Laird sure does remember! Dude has been hung up on Poppy ever since she ghosted him. So when she’s suddenly back in his life, he doesn’t really handle it all too well. He’s hurt, heartbroken, and angry….

But these two are soulmates. It takes a while to get there, but Laird and Poppy get to their HEA!

Poppy is a side character from the Westcott series (which I loved!), and Laird was in SL Scott’s Crow Brother series (which I never read). Their chemistry is off the charts, and I loved the circumstances of when they met two years ago and where life has taken them since then.

Moving in with the infamous Everett Taylor was not on my bingo card.

But, after my ex hit me then left me on the side of the road, I had no one else to call.

Everett is bossy and moody and controlling.

He’s also my ex’s hockey rival, my new very fake boyfriend.

The plan is to keep me safe until my ex gets bored and leaves me alone.

But when a game of spin the bottle in front of my ex turns into a full blown make out session with my new roommate?

Well, let’s just say I can see why the guy can have any girl he wants.

They’d be lucky too. To claim Everett.

But I’m too jaded for that…

Aren’t I?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Everett and Raine’s story is a rollercoaster of emotion! Everett and Raine begin fake dating to help her escape her abusive ex, who happens to be his rival. There is so much emotion in this story. Everett goes full-on protector and was so patient as Raine worked through everything she’d been dealing with.

I somehow missed a book in this series, and I wish I hadn’t because I bet it would have contributed even more to how much I loved grumpy Everett as a book boyfriend. Longtime readers of Kelsie Rae’s will appreciate all of the Easter Eggs in this next-generation story (Don’t Let Me series)!

Always Been Write: A Best Friends to Lovers Romance by Jami Rogers is now live!

Writing a spicy romance novel with your best guy friend isn’t a problem.
Picturing him as you write the steamy scenes … now that could get complicated.

Tobias Banks is a bestselling romance author and my best friend. He’s smart, brilliant, and kind-hearted. He has never shown an interest in settling down, and he’s the one constant in my life I know I can depend on for anything.

So it shouldn’t surprise me that as soon as my personal life shatters, he’s there, picking up the pieces and reminding me who I am.

In a matter of days, we are back to our lively banter. I’m living in his spare room, and now, he’s helping me achieve my lifelong dream of writing a romance novel.

Life feels good again, free … except I’m not looking at him as the friend whom I used to pull all-night study sessions with during college. Nope, I’m looking at him as the man who walks into the kitchen each morning shirtless, smirks when I say something he likes to hear, wears shirts that hug his arms a lot tighter than I remember, and looks at me as if I’m his next meal.

Falling for my best friend isn’t smart. I can’t lose him, but if I’ve learned anything since we set out on this journey together, it’s that love doesn’t make the rules; we do.

And we only get one chance to do it right.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I loved, loved, loved Tobias and Natalie! Always Been Write checked off all my boxes when it comes to friends-to-lovers/best friends romance. And as a bonus, he falls first and he falls hard!

After being best friends for a decade. Tobias and Natalie cross that line to “more” after she goes through a breakup. Of course, they both have reservations about what that will do to their friendship… This was such a swoony, slow-burn romance. I felt that Jami Rogers set up the close friendship between the characters really well, so they were established before they crossed to the line to lovers. This story was all kinds of seggsy too, because Tobias is a male romance writer and a dirty talker.

This story also had a great grandparent in Grandma Betty — I loved how special her relationship with Tobias was. And the larger friend group — they are all so supportive of one another!

Great job, Jami!

Our little white lie tied us up in ways we never expected.

Knot Really Engaged, an all-new brother’s best friend, fake engagement, friends to lovers romance from bestselling author Kendall Hale is now available!

I promised my family I would bring my boyfriend home.

Everything was going my way.

Until his wife showed up at the airport instead of him.

Thankfully, my brother’s best friend is taking the same flight.

Liam Cohen saw me at my worst, but during our trip, we make a pact:

To shield each other against the relentless matchmaking efforts of our mothers.

We were single and happy with it.

Or so we thought.

Liam, however, decided our agreement wasn’t quite enough.

Suddenly, we found ourselves engaged.

“It’s for my grandmother,” he claimed.

“You’ll benefit from it too,” he dared to say.

“Just for the weekend,” he reassured.

“Everything will be just fine,” he promised.

Except, it wasn’t.

My mother is now on the brink of choosing my wedding dress and color palette if I don’t beat her to it.

His relatives are suggesting we make it official that very weekend.

And my brother, Liam’s best friend, is now in on the scheme. Joy.

But it will all be worth it when we’re able to go our separate ways, single and free.

That’s what all the shared jokes, close touches, and fleeting glances have been about.

Right? What could possibly go wrong?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Knot Really Engaged was the first book I’ve read by Kendall Hale, and I loved this brother’s best friend/fake fiance romance! I thought that Liam and Audrey’s slow burn, fake relationship story was so well done!

When Audrey runs into her brother’s best friend, Liam, at the airport, it is literally one of her lowest moments: She’s just found out her boyfriend was a cheater. And she’s supposed to bring that boyfriend back home to Boston for her parents’ anniversary party. Then when Liam gets some bad news of his own — his grandmother is dying and she wants to see him get married — he suggests a fake engagement between them as a win/win. Well, we all know how that goes…

I love when a playboy falls hard and fast, and Liam did! He grappled with his feelings for Audrey, and I loved watching him come to the realization that he couldn’t live without her. Also, I really felt for Audrey, and how she constantly felt pressure from her mother to be the perfect daughter. I thought that these two characters complemented each other well, and I loved seeing them fall in love, despite their best efforts.

This book is the second in the series, but it read as a true standalone — I had zero issues keeping up with the history mentioned that happened in the last book. And I am really intrigued to get to know Max better and read his book!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Yet another great story from Natasha Madison! Meant For Love is an accidental marriage romance that is full of swoon and even a few tears, but had the loveliest HEA!

I loved Nash from the second I met him. I thought he was a great counterpart for Zoey — much better suited for her than the ex she was dating just 10 days before she agreed to work with Nash’s company, accompanied him to a conference in Vegas, and ended up getting married by Elvis!

Of course, Zoey has regrets the morning after, but Nash convinces her to give him 90 days to fall in love with him…. Nash proceeds to court the heck out of his wife over the next few weeks and… Well, with a guy as attentive as Nash, it doesn’t take 90 days at all! But what will happen as the end of their trial marriage draws near?

As usual, there are lots of cameos by the other characters in NM’s hockey world. I always enjoy catching up with previous couples, and it cements just how close this large extended family is!

On to Zara’s book!
