Caribbean Crush by R.S. Grey is now live!

Set sail with USA Today bestselling author R.S. Grey in this sizzling romance between old rivals who reunite on a cruise ship, only to discover that they want much more than just another competition.

Casey Hughes is a struggling travel journalist desperate for a big break when she lands the assignment of a lifetime: hop on board Aurelia for its maiden voyage through paradise. While she’ll bask in the luxury cruise ship’s fine dining and complimentary spa treatments, her real mission is to snag an exclusive interview with Phillip Woodmont.

Casey and the elusive shipping heir have history. Once, they were nothing short of brutal enemies. Though the former brace-faced teen is now a suited-up CEO with devastating good looks, he makes it clear to Casey that he has no interest in forgetting their past.

The volatile grudge between them is as explosive as ever. More than once Casey is tempted to toss Phillip overboard, but for her work, she’ll have to swallow her pride. If it’s an apology he’s after, she’ll serve it up on a silver platter. If he wants her to walk the plank, she’ll salute with an aye, aye, Captain.

Casey can’t let him provoke her. She needs this interview. So if Phillip wants to play dirty, Casey will just have to play dirtier.

Blurb:

Nash didn’t plan on living with his brother’s widow. Or that he may finally get his chance to win me back.

I ended up with the wrong brother. Now, he has passed away, leaving me a widow with a baby. But then his brother Nash walks back into our small town and my life. My disdain for the former hockey player is apparent, yet still, he moves in to care for my son and me, claiming it was his estranged brother’s dying wish. But having Nash close stirs memories of when we may have had a chance. In truth, he always lingered in my thoughts. And it takes one kiss to cause turmoil.

Because nothing appears as it seems.

The relationship that develops is inevitable; we have a past, after all. But the dilemmas we reveal may tear us apart. Even with guilt for moving on, a fire between us feels near eternal. And the trail we create in the fallout of our romance makes me realize that Nash and I? We’re something long ago that always should have been…

Nash and Summer will send you on a no-cheating rollercoaster in a forced proximity, single mom and a second-chance romance with a twist. Should Have Been is the third and final standalone book in the Lake Spark Inn series, part of the Lake Spark world.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Should Have Been wraps up the Lake Spark Inn series with Nash and Summer’s story. It’s complicated and messy, but at the end, it is a heartfelt second-chance romance.

As teenagers, Summer, and brothers Zac and Nash, were best friends. Zac was always ill, having battled cancer for most of his life. And while Summer loved Zac as a best friend, she was *in love* with Nash, and he her. But their relationship took a turn when Nash broke Summer’s heart, eventually leading her to marry Zac and give birth to their son, Bo. Now it’s years later, and Zac’s final wish was that Nash come back to Lake Spark and live with Summer and Bo for six weeks….

There are so many emotions in this story. Heartbreak, grief, resentment, guilt, and so much love. It takes a while for Summer and Nash to get to a place where they can even be in the same room without sniping at one another — he can’t get past the fact that she married his brother, and she is still so hurt by their breakup years ago. Things aren’t always as they seem, however, and once they hammer out their issues of the past, Summer and Nash fall into an easy relationship…

But it’s a secret one. How will the town react to her moving on so quickly? How will Nash’s parents respond? There is a lot to be navigated before they can get to their HEA, but in the end, it always Should Have Been Summer and Nash.

LOST IN YOU 

by Brenda Rothert 

Release Date: June 25^th

I’ve got one job: protect the younger sister of my best friend and team captain. Then our private plane crashes in southern Alaska, and we’re the lone survivors.

The two of us are the unlikeliest of partners when we find ourselves stranded in the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness. My hockey playing skills are of no use here, where the bitter cold is my new opponent. And Trinity Lorenzo? She’s about as warm as a block of ice. I get it, she’s fleeing an abusive boyfriend and she and I are strangers. But I always keep my word, and I promised Dalton I’d keep his prickly sister safe. If we want to live, the two of us will have to find a way to get along and work together.

Our ordeal draws Trinity and me closer, and fighting the pull between us becomes harder than anything we face while hoping for rescue. Whether we make it out or not, I need her. More than water or shelter—more than anything. Dalton will never forgive me if I cross the line with her, but surviving means something different now. Surviving means making her mine.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 3 Stars

I liked the first 3/4 of Lost In You, but the last 1/4 felt really rushed to get to the ending.

Following a plane crash, Lincoln and Trinity, his best friend’s little sister, spend several months together in an isolated cabin in the wilderness of Alaska, As they struggle to survive, they naturally grow closer. And there’s eventually no denying the attraction between them.

For the most part, Lost In You was entertaining and held my interest. The storyline is straight-forward, without any speedbumps or plot twists. However, after the rescue, everything seemed so rushed.

Meanwhile, Lincoln has.. a certain hangup… when it comes to relationships.  This comes back into play once they decide to make a go of things in the real world and he lays out his promises for the future. But his whole Grand Gesture to win her back felt kind of icky — he made a lot of assumptions and what was supposed to be a sweet gesture was a major move that affected both of them, but he never discussed it with her ahead of time. And she was fine what that??!

Overall, Lost In You was entertaining, but it wasn’t my favorite. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

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!
