Falling hard for my ex-boyfriend’s rugged older brother was never in the plan.
Beckett Miller may be my brother’s best friend, but he’s also the last person on earth I want to ask for help. He’s stubborn, demanding, and doesn’t care at all what people think of him—everything his little brother wasn’t, and definitely everything I should not want.

Thanks to my own stubbornness and my three infuriating siblings, he is the only one who can help me renovate my beloved aunt’s farmhouse. Beckett thinks I’m a doormat, and I know he’s an arrogant prick, but toss in one late-night game of tipsy strip poker, and before long, endless summer days turn into scorching nights.
Every stolen touch—every kiss—is wrong in the best ways.

I can fix everything around me: my friends’ problems, my brothers’ love lives, maybe even the decades-old rivalry that divides our cozy coastal town. So Beckett’s snarl and heavy sighs are no match for me.

The only thing I can’t seem to fix is the way my body reacts when he swings a hammer. I built walls to protect my heart after what his brother did to me, but I’m finding it could all come crumbling down with just one touch.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Ah, another great small-town romance from Lena Hendrix with just a hint of forbidden: not only is Katie the little sister of Beckett’s best friend, but she is his brother’s ex! Add in a grumpy hero, small-town shenanigans, a pesky rooster and a home renovation, and this book has all the makings of a perfect sizzling small-town romcom!

I adored the hate-to-love transformation between Katie and Beckett. They both had such misconceptions about the other, and I loved how they pushed one another’s buttons. On top of that, Beckett has some serious self-esteem issues that he’s grappling with, thanks to his parents thinking he wasn’t good enough bc he opted for a blue-collar profession rather than taking over his dad’s corporation.

There are many obstacles that these two have to overcome, but it’s a wonderful ride as they get there. It’s swoony, sweet, and sexy!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Tell It To My Heart is a rollercoaster of emotions! Sydney and Jared were childhood best friends turned high school sweethearts until a falling out between their families led to the end of their relationship. They both felt abandoned and betrayed by the other. When they cross paths again 10 years later in Italy, could it be time for a second chance?

There is a lot of angst in this book, and it was so well written. Layer after layer was peeled back like an onion, revealing everything that happened in the past when Sydney and Jared were ripped apart. My heart broke for all that Sydney had gone through, but she was a fighter and clawed her way out of (what she thought was) a horrible relationship with her controlling dad to make something of herself.

Fate kept putting her and Jared in each other’s orbits, and they slowly began rebuilding their friendship. The love between them was never lost, but the obstacles facing them in the present day seem insurmountable: their parents, his pregnant psycho ex, the media attention… It’s a lot for this couple to wade through, but their love for each other is unwavering.

This book is a standalone, but there is overlap with several other Siobhan Davis books. Sydney was a character caught in a triangle with Sawyer and Xavier in the Rydeville Elite series, and the guys play a big part in Sydney now getting her HEA with Jared. Ryder and Zeta from Only Ever You also play a part in the story, as Jared’s band is signed to Ryder’s label.

This was a beautiful story of true love, second chances, healing and rebuilding trust. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

A One-Night-Stand, Fake Fiancée Romance.

No Easy Dare by Samantha Christy is now live!

Hunter McQuaid is definitely a fish out of water. Or maybe a shark out of the tank.
He’s a cocky, arrogant, playboy. Something he shouldn’t be considering he can barely scrape together the rent for his craptastic apartment.
After an ill-advised one-nighter with him, I end up pregnant. Which puts me in a precarious position. I can’t be pregnant and also protect my daughter. Because protecting her means risking my unborn child. There’s no way to protect them both.
Until my cocky, arrogant, playboy baby daddy, who is SO not father material, comes up with a plan.
Hunter becomes my protector. My savior. My doting fiancé. The problem is, it’s all fake. And if my father finds out about it, I may end up worse off than before.
Falling for my fake fiancé is not what I expected. I’m in deep. And I’m swimming with sharks.
But I’ll do anything to protect my kids. Even if it means breaking my own heart.

SUNNY SHELLY’S REVIEW: 5 Stars

Wow! I was not expecting Hunter and Willow’s story to be so intense!!!

Once again, Pappy Tucker McQuaid has made a bet with one of his wily grandsons. This time, he dares Hunter, who has made something of a career out of sports betting, to live with a pre-determined amount of cash in a run-down building in New York City. Hunter planned to spend the year of his dare counting the money he’d get from his grandfather at the end — he never imagined he’d fall in love with the single mom he has a one-night stand with shortly after he moves in.

Meeting Willow changes everything about Hunter. My heart broke for her and the situation she was in. She was in an impossible situation and was trying so hard to protect her daughter, Izzy. Things get even more complicated when Willow gets pregnant, and Hunter steps up big time to protect his “fake” fiance.

There are lots of twists and turns in this story, and I thought that Samantha Christy did a phenomenal job of weaving it all together.

Meet Samantha

Samantha Christy writes sexy new adult and contemporary romances. Although each book is written as a standalone, her series’ tie together so you’ll enjoy seeing characters pop up over and over again.

Regardless of where you start your Samantha Christy journey, you can count on three things: Every book feels REAL (you’ll see bits of yourself in each heroine.) Every story has PAIN (because what’s a good romance without it?) And all her heroines find LOVE (because true romances have an HEA.)
Real. Painful. Love.

Samantha enjoys life as a full-time author under the warm Florida sun with her husband and four children.

Blurb:

I’m the privileged youngest child of the famous McKallister family. He’s a runaway foster kid living rough. We were never meant to meet. This is where our story begins. It’s nowhere near how it ends.

Grace

The beat. The cheers. The thrill of the unknown. I shouldn’t leave the safety of the music arena—my last name is McKallister, after all, and I’m intimately familiar with worst-case scenarios. But I’m drawn by the talent and the turmoil behind the weary eyes of the drummer on the streets. I’ve never seen anyone my age as wild and unrestrained, a lightning bolt of electricity that never hits the same spot on his bucket drums twice. He plays with such confidence, such rage. I have to know who he is and where he learned to bang out drum solos like he owns the night.

I want to help him. No, to save him. If only Rory will let me.

Rory

When I play, I’m in my element. I know how to draw a crowd and how to keep them riveted. For a small period of time every day, I’m special. Talented. Going somewhere. Little do they know I’m going back to nothing: no family, no friends, no roof over my head. When the music ends, I fade into the background like the undesirable I am. And then she shows up, so pretty and polished and pure. I don’t expect her to stay and talk. I definitely don’t expect her to sit down on the sidewalk and drum a song onto my thigh. Yet here she is—anyone’s ultimate dream girl—promising to save me.

Too bad Grace stumbled upon me a decade too late.

 SUNNY SHELLY’S REVIEW: 5 Stars

The Cake series and the McKallister kids’ stories come to a brilliant end in Grace Note, featuring the youngest McKallister sibling. Grace and Rory’s story is full of heartache and heartbreak, an emotional rollercoaster that lifts you high, then drops you low and takes you back up again!

Throughout the Cake books, Rory and Grace have been on-again, off-again. Grace Note starts where Next in Line left off: Rory reappears in Grace’s life after 10 years when her brother, Quinn, asks him to be the drummer in his band, throwing her off-kilter. The story then goes back and forth between the past and the present, and we get to see all the nuances of this couple’s relationship.

Grace Note tackles some pretty heavy topics (the foster system, domestic violence, homelessness), and Jill Bengtsson handles it all beautifully. My heart broke for Rory over and over again, but despite the odds stacked against him, he keeps powering through. I loved seeing little Gracie come into her own as a woman in love, and her dedication to the guy who grabbed her heart when she was just 16 years old is fierce.

I loved this series, I loved this family, and Grace and Rory were the perfect way to wrap it all up! I received a complimentary copy and voluntarily left a review.

BLURB

Ford Spears, star hockey player, is ready to grab the only goal he has ever wanted; a second chance with the mother of his child…

For our son. That’s the explanation my hockey-playing ex gave as to why we needed to spend time as a family at his lake house in the small town where it all began. What I didn’t expect was to show up and discover our son is spending another week at camp, and we are all alone. Oh, and fake a relationship to fulfill his old lady’s wish, too. I realize Ford is on the mission I always feared;

Win me back.

But our past is filled with heartache and regret. It’s going to take a lot more than a few strolls down memory lane or romantic boat rides on the lake to overcome the past. And don’t get me started on the man refusing to wear a shirt around the house. He wants us to have one week together to show we could have it all, but I know that’s not a good idea. Not when I don’t know who believes in us more. Now we are both wondering if being together was always worth the wait…

Ford and Brielle bring the feels and steam in this second chance, completely swoon worthy, forced proximity story. Worth the Wait is book three in the standalone interconnected Lake Spark series. For lovers of small-town romance with a touch of sports.

SUNNY SHELLY’S REVIEW: 5 Stars

Worth the Wait was absolutely adorable! Ford and Brielle’s story was a swoony second-chance romance ten years in the making.

Ford and Brielle were high school sweethearts when she got pregnant 10 years ago. He was on the precipice of a hockey career, and she wanted to go to law school. They were pretty much forced apart by their parents, but never stopped loving one another. Now that his hockey career is over and he’s transitioning to a coaching capacity, and Brielle is about to sit for the Bar exam, Ford essentially tricks her into spending a week at his lakeside home while their son, Connor, is at hockey camp.

For a week, Ford and Brielle live in a bubble where nothing else matters other than their reconnecting and Ford trying to convince Brielle to give their relationship a genuine chance. At first, Brielle is scared to make the leap, but Ford is one determined guy, and winning her back means more to him than any Stanley Cup.

I’ve enjoyed this series very much, and love the friendship between Ford and his neighbors. Evey Lyon set up her next series, a spinoff, nicely in the epilogue and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Ford’s sister and his former teammate!

I received a complimentary copy and voluntarily left a review.

ABOUT EVEY LYON

Evey loves to write heartwarming feel-good romance that may just make you blush. The pages of her books are filled with swoon, wit, and steamy moments. An American from the Midwest, she now lives in Europe where she drinks way too much coffee, types away on a laptop with music on repeat, and stares at her yoga mat that she should probably use again…

The Issue with Bad Boy Roommates by Piper Rayne is now live!

I was only looking for a roommate…

I’m the town widow.

Not the only one, but the youngest by far.

My husband died one year after our wedding, casting me as the charity case in my small Alaskan town.

Since then, everyone—including my big family—try to keep me busy as if that will stop the haunting memories from resurfacing.

Do I know it’s time to move on? Of course, but that’s easier said than done.

Then Van Adler rides into town. His bad boy vibe complete with his motorcycle and tattoos causes my body to fill with need for the first time since my husband’s death.

To make matters worse, he’s the one who answered my ad for a roommate. Sharing the close quarters of our two-bedroom apartment means I have to set some ground rules like keeping his rippled abs covered. Soon we become friends, he’s making me dinners, and we’re binge-watching television shows all night.

The more our lives intertwine, the more I start to fall for him. Leaving me wondering, can you find the love of your life twice in one lifetime?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Brinley and Van’s story was absolute perfection! He’s a career Coast Guard diver with a crappy childhood who thinks he’ll never amount to anything or that he doesn’t deserve to be loved. She’s a young widow who hates being the local charity case. But Van and Brinley were destined to be together — Fate had a plan to put these two people in one another’s orbit and the road they travel together (and the growth they do on their own) was wonderful. The Issue With Bad Boy Roommates is Book 2 in the Lake Starlight series, which itself is a spinoff from the Bailey Family series. I absolutely adored seeing renowned tattoo artist Liam Kelly get all spooked when his daughter starts dating a tattooed guy who reminded him a little too much of his younger self. Narrators Connor Crais and Melissa Moran did a fantastic job in telling Van and Brinley’s story. I especially loved the duet narration. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Kissing the Rival by Kaylee Ryan is now live!

Charlotte 

I’m not just kissing the rival… I’m falling for him. 

Spencer Pennington has always been a shameless flirt, but when it came to being the best in our MBA program, all bets were off, and the competition was on. 

Fast-forward a few years, and all it takes is a bar at a failed wedding and my silly kiss-rating system to lock lips with the enemy. Cocky as ever, Spencer claims he’s a ten and kisses me to prove it. I kiss him back to scratch an old itch, not expecting to like it. 

Which is a huge problem, because Mr. Tall, Dark, and Tattooed from grad school is my new boss. And I want to kiss him again and again. Even if I only gave him a four.

Spencer 

Charlotte Krause could be the perfect girl, if she didn’t hate me so much. I’m unsure if it was just me or guys in general, but she had this stuck-up, all-work-no-play vibe about her in college.

Imagine my surprise when I find her at the resort bar rating kisses like it’s her job. This carefree woman is nothing like the focused girl who turned me down at freshman orientation. And every time after that. 

When I promise her I’m a ten, I see that competitive spark light in her ocean-blue eyes. There she is. She might have kissed me to prove me wrong, but I know I’m right about one thing. 

She feels the spark too. There’s just one problem. It turns out her actual job is working for me.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 3 Stars

Charlotte, aka Charlie, and Spencer first meet as college students, where he tries to flirt with her and she writes him off as being a jerk. He thinks she is stuck up. Flash-forward: The story then picks up ten years later, when her sister is marrying his best friend… At a bar before the wedding, Charlie is rating the kisses of other couples and Spencer challenges her to a kiss. It’s the best she’s ever had, but it is SPENCER, so Charlie says it’s so-so. Of course, Spencer wants better than that and makes it a personal challenge to up his rating.

In a twisted turn of events, after the wedding, Spencer turns out to be Charlie’s new boss. At first she’s wary, because she doesn’t like him. I honestly didn’t get *why* she hasn’t liked him all these years, because that initial interaction in college didn’t seem so bad. But Charlie has been holding on to that first impression for a decade. But Spencer has always kind of liked Charlie, so this story is a “he falls first” romance, which I always love reading. Charlie’s feelings for Spencer change on a dime, and I wish there was more buildup to that. I felt like I was told she changed her mind, wasn’t shown that she changed her mind, and that left me feeling lukewarm about Charlie in the end.

Kissing the Rival is part of a multi-author collaboration in The Kissing Games series, but each book is a standalone. The characters cross over between books as it is all part of the same universe.

Overall, this wasn’t the best Kaylee Ryan book I have read, but it was an enjoyable story.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

I was expecting a lighthearted book based on the blurb, but No Kiss List was anything but!

These are flawed characters, but so relatable. I really thought Reed was a wonderful heroine. She has been through so much, always felt like she was a burden, and she really blossomed through this story. River seemed to be exactly what she needed, and he was so patient and dedicated. They both have baggage from their pasts that they are trying to work through, but despite the heartbreak and heartache, they manage to find their soulmate in one another. (I also wanted to slap Reed’s brother, AJ, quite a few times for his meddling.)

No Kiss List has plenty of sweet moments, and lots of spicy ones, but I was not expecting the rollercoaster of emotions I felt as I was reading this story. I will definitely be coming back to reread this one!
