ALONG CAME CHARLIE

S.L. Scott

Release Date: May 15

New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author S.L. Scott brings the charm and romance,
smiles and laughs to Along Came Charlie. This friends-to-more novel is packed with heartfelt
emotion reminiscent of the best of chick lit of the past with a modern twist for today’s
readers.

I’ll be your date, and you’ll be mine.

Who says a funeral can’t be romantic?
Okay, everyone. Including myself.
That doesn’t stop the rumor mill from turning when I show up with a beautiful redhead on my
arm.

That redhead also just happens to be a stranger, relatively speaking. Charlotte Barrow and I
have run into each other a few times—on the subway, at a bar, and now on our way to
separate funerals. Instead of the prodigal son who let his parents down showing up alone, I
traded favors and brought a date. The deal made sense at the time.

You be my date, and I’ll be yours.

Who knew bringing a date to your ex-fiancé’s funeral would cause such a stir?
Technically, I did.
I invited him anyway for moral support. It didn’t hurt that he was handsome.

The cold-hearted stares that greeted us didn’t matter. We found comfort in each other and
formed a friendship from there. Charles Adams was nothing like my ex. The pressure wasn’t
there to be anyone other than who I was. He also loved my cupcakes as much as I enjoyed his
company.

I always dreamed of finding my soul mate, and then along came Charlie. My perfect match was
right here all along. Did I realize it too late?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Having read several angsty books from S.L. Scott, I was pleasantly surprised by this sweet story between Charlie A. and Charlie (Charlotte) B. It was a wonderful slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance with a heavy focus on the developing friendship between these two characters. From the moment they first noticed each other on the subway to their first friend-date at a pair of funerals (yes, yes, but it works!), I adored these two characters. Scott perfectly captured every nuance as their friendship developed, the yearning, the longing, the will-they-or-won’t-they, and poor Charlie B’s trust issues after a broken engagement and the subsequent guilt and struggles that came with all she had to work through in order to be the best version of herself so she could be the partner Charlie deserved. This story is just lovely! I received a complimentary copy and voluntarily left a review.

The Problem with Second Chances by Piper Rayne is now live!

For Rylan Greene and me, it was simple. Love only got us so far.

I’ve known him since we were six, long before he became the professional soccer star he is now. We’ve weaved in and out of one another’s lives as rivals, teammates, friends, and lovers. Until three years ago, when my life took a hit and I ran back to my small Alaskan town, Lake Starlight, away from anything or anyone that could hurt me.

He’s never far from my mind, a constant pining ache in my heart, but I’ve convinced myself I’m better off. But now, my best friend announces her engagement and that means Rylan will return home to stand as best man to her fiancé.

He’ll be back in my orbit for three whole weeks… but I can easily keep my distance. Sure, we’ll have to walk arm in arm down the aisle together, he’ll hold me close during the bridal party dance and we’ll stand for pictures next to each other. Nothing I can’t handle.

I’m so naïve though because he’s not in town for more than twenty-four hours before he knocks on my door. I should know by now, that the two of us will never be finished business.

This second chance romance spans sixteen years of a true love match that proves these two will only ever belong to one another.

Like hundreds of other Piper Rayne fans, I have been waiting for years for Calista Bailey and Rylan Greene’s story. There have been snippets of these two legacy characters sprinkled throughout the OG series (the Bailey Family and the Greene Family), and we were teased beyond belief in some of the Bailey and Greene novellas. Finally — finally! — their story has been told it was every bit as wonderful as I hoped it would be!

The Problem With Second Chances is a magnificent second-chance romance, full of angst and the push and pull of will-they-or-won’t-they. Calista and Rylan are soulmates, so good together, so miserable apart, yet they can’t seem to get out of their own way and make their relationship work! Being forced back together as best man and maid of honor in the three weeks leading up to the wedding of their best friends really forces Ryan and Calista to take a long, hard look at their past and what they want for their future!

While this wonderful book is a standalone, it is especially a sweet treat for PR fans who have read the two series that this next-generation spinoff originated from. I adored seeing scenes from Rylan and Calista’s perspective, like when his brother Fisher nabbed them breaking into houses as teens to screw with people’s Netflix accounts. Loved all those little Easter eggs!

I read this e-book along with listening to Joe Arden and Erin Mallon narrate the audio book. The narrators did a wonderful job of bringing this beautiful story to life. I laughed, I cried, I couldn’t wait to get to the end, but I didn’t want this story to end!

This book was everything I hoped it would be and so much more! Bring on Brinley!

BLURB:

I had a perfect life—married to my high school sweetheart and preparing for our new baby. Then tragedy struck.

I could have moved us back to have the support of our parents, but home isn’t where you come from, it’s where you want to be. And I want to be here in Balsam Ridge.

So I begin anew, a single mom with a fractured heart. Determined to rise above the grief and grasp the joy that still bubbles inside of me every time I look into the eyes of our baby girl. Starting with a job at the local hemp farm.

Weston Tuttle is a walking contradiction. Playful yet ambitious. Soft yet strong. Wisecracking yet caring. A beautiful man with a sexy smile and big heart, and a blessing to me and my daughter.

This may not be the life I planned, but it could be the life that I was always meant to live.

HACKER IN LOVE

Lauren Rowe

Release Date: May 5

Secrets. Everybody’s got ‘em, including me. Especially me.

The difference is mine will never be revealed, whereas I can easily get yours, assuming the price offered by your enemy is right and the scales of justice appeal to my personal standards of ethics. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. The thing that’s not so easy for a shy guy like me? Finding Ms. Right and locking her down.

Speaking of Ms. Right, the very night I was set up with Hannah Milliken by our mutual friend, I knew I’d one day kneel before her with a ring in hand. Hannah’s the kind of girl who’ll gleefully dance like a gorilla with me in the coolest nightclub or belt out a karaoke duet from Grease like her very life depends on it. She’s gorgeous, too. Funny and smart. And she even wears librarian glasses. See? Perfect.

I don’t doubt Hannah’s the one for me. Indubitably, she is. I only wonder how a dork like me could possibly land a goddess like her.

Unfortunately, when catastrophe strikes, all my questions are rendered moot. Now that Hannah knows the truth about me not actually working in cybersecurity—as well as the questionable things I’ve done to win her over—will I lose my dream girl forever, or is there still a chance for us to chase our happily ever after?

Hacker in Love is a steamy, funny, heart-pounding, standalone contemporary romance with a whole lot of feels, laughs, spice, and swoons by USA Today and internationally bestselling romance author Lauren Rowe.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 3.5 Stars

Lauren Rowe is a relatively new-to-me author, so I wasn’t jonesing for Henn’s story the way some other readers were. Did I enjoy it? Absolutely. But I feel like I would have been shipping this couple more had I read LR’s back catalog.

I thought Henn and Hannah were a great couple, with sizzling chemistry. I loved how he was kind of awkward and dorky, a total golden retriever of a book boyfriend, and she was sassy and a bit of a fireball. The main plot of this book revolves around Henn’s lie — he doesn’t exactly work in cybersecurity the way his friends think he does, and after being swindled and catfished by the last guy she dated, Hannah has zero tolerance for liars. And that puts our friend Henn in a bit of a predicament!!

This is a super cute book, and a complete standalone. But I felt like there were a bunch of supporting players in this story that didn’t necessarily *need* to be there to contribute to the story. I later came to find out that these were other characters from the LR universe and this particular couple’s story was long-awaited. So while I liked this book, I am in the minority of readers that didn’t seem to love parts of it…

Runaway Love by Melanie Harlow is now live!

Yes, I’m a single dad who needs a nanny for the summer.

But hire the stranded runaway bride who shows up on my doorstep in a wedding gown with no references, no skills, and no experience?

No one is that desperate.

Except within twenty-four hours, down-on-her-luck Veronica Sutton manages to charm my kids, my family, and half the population of Cherry Tree Harbor into believing she’s perfect for the job.

And for me.

It’s not that I can’t see the appeal-those baby blue eyes? The endless legs? That mouth made for trouble? But I’ve got enough on my plate, raising two kids on my own and keeping the family business alive. I don’t have the time or the inclination to fall for an outspoken city girl.

So I should have kept my hands to myself.

Holding her in my arms was a big mistake. Even worse? Spending the night together. She ignites a possessive fire in me that I’m finding hard to snuff out.


But the most unforgivable? Growing attached to the sound of her laugh, the scent of her skin, and the way her body wraps around mine in the dark.

At the end of the summer, she’ll be gone.
And if I’m not careful, she might run away with my heart.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Melanie Harlow kicks off a fantastic new series with Runaway Love and I am here for it! I fell in love with Veronica and Austin right away and I devoured this book. It was hard not to fall in love with plucky, outgoing Veronica and grumpy, overworked single dad Austin.

On her would-be wedding day, Veronica finds out that her fiance is shagging his assistant, which leads this former Rockette to put on a show-stopping performance before she walks out of the chapel with her head held high. But that also leaves her broke and homeless, with only the clothes she had in her hotel room. As luck would have it, she wanders into a diner and ends up with a job interview to be a nanny for the summer. Although the first meeting with her potential new boss, Austin, does not go well at all, he begrudgingly gives Veronica the job to care for his twins, Owen and Adelaide. The sexual tension is electric between them right from the start, but Austin and Veronica always stop after a few kisses. Until the twins are visiting their mom for a week and Austin and Veronica decide to have a week-long fling. Well, you can guess how that goes!

I loved Veronica’s strength and bravery. Even when she had lost everything, she found a silver lining. And poor Austin. He’d lived his life trying to make everyone in his family happy at his own expense for so long that he was afraid to reach for what he wanted to make him happy. Both in business and in his relationship with Veronica.

This story was absolutely charming. I loved Austin and Veronica, I loved the twins, I loved Cherry Tree Harbor and all of the eclectic residents we got to meet. I loved Austin’s Big Grovel, the reconciliation, and the happily ever after. I can’t wait to see what comes next in this series!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Maddie and Nash’s story was amazing! This slow-burn best friends romance is full of heart, longing, and loyalty, with Catherine Cowles’ signature suspense threaded through. Best friends-to-more is one of my favorite tropes, especially when the author really relays the history between the characters. Cowles always does a fantastic job with her character development, and I *got* all of it between Nash and Maddie.

Growing up, Maddie and Nash were like two peas in a pod, but as they got older, Maddie wanted more from their relationship and didn’t think Nash was interested in the same. So she left town, and that decision altered her life forever. Now, with nowhere else to go after leaving her abusive ex, she is back in Cedar Ridge and reestablishing her relationship with Nash. Needless to say, Nash is not happy to hear that Maddie’s ex hurt her, and he goes into full-blown protector mode. Especially since Nash has been keeping a secret about their past.

I loved these two so much, and Jason Clarke and Erin Mallon did such a wonderful job with the narration of this story. I can’t wait to see what comes next in this series!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 3.5 Stars

I have mixed feelings about The Summer We Fell. It’s a super angsty story, told in the past and present, about a forbidden love between Juliet and Luke.

I do love angst, and this book was full of it. I felt that immediate connection between Juliet and Luke, and how tortured they were by not being able to be together. When he begged her to leave Danny… oh, my heart! Plus, I will listen to anything Teddy Hamilton reads, and this duet narration with Samantha Brentmoor was top-notch!

However, there were a few things that didn’t mesh for me.

Each chapter alternates between the present and the past, so it was hard at times to keep the two timelines linear in my mind and not forget where things in the story had left off. Also, I really wanted Juliet to grow a backbone. She just let everyone walk all over her, because she didn’t think she deserved better, and it grew frustrating.

Most of all, I wanted to read MORE of Luke and Juliet as a couple. After all that angst, a decade of yearning, all the lies, everything that kept them apart… I wanted a bigger payoff when they finally got together.

Would I recommend this book? Yes. Do I want to read more from about supporting characters? Also, yes. So that’s a win.

The Bachelor by Marni Mann is now live!

A scorching hot, forbidden, friends-to-lovers romance from USA Today best-selling author Marni Mann …

Camden Dalton is notorious for three things: his command of the courtroom, his moves in the bedroom, and being the ultimate bachelor, never ever taking a woman home twice.

One drunken night, when Camden and I are accidentally left alone, we make a deal.

My proposition to him: if I don’t lose my virginity within the next year, he promises to take it.

But I don’t just want to do it.

I want to get filthy, dirty, rocked.

And I want to learn how to give as good as I get.

His rebuttal: four lessons on how to be an unforgettable lover. If I can make it through those without catching feelings, then we’ll move on to the fifth and final lesson, where all my naughtiest dreams will come true.

There’s only one problem.

Camden’s twin sister is my BFF.

And he’s forbidden to ever date any of her friends.

We just pray his sister won’t find out because what we’re doing is a whole lot more than dating.

There are five stand-alone books in the Dalton Family Series:
The Lawyer
The Billionaire
The Single Dad
The Intern
The Bachelor

Wow, Camden and Oaklyn’s story was scorching hot! The Bachelor was definitely the spiciest of the bunch in the Dalton Family series! But underneath all of the smexy lessons that Camden gives his sister Hannah’s best friend is a lovely romance between a playboy bachelor and the girl he didn’t even realize he’d been in love with since he was 12.

Hannah basically forbade her twin from ever dating any of her friends, so when Oaklyn propositions him to give her love lessons and take her V-card, it’s very much on the down low, since neither of them wants to let Hannah know what’s happening between them. While Camden agrees to teach Oaklyn a thing or two, he also plans to never let things go all the way between them. However, the joke is on him because the more time Camden spends with Oaklyn, the more he craves to be around her. When Camden and Oaklyn decided to make their relationship legit, how will Hannah react?

This story is super sexy, super spicy, but also very sweet. I have a soft spot for a story where a playboy meets the girl who makes him fall to his knees, and that’s exactly what Marni Mann delivered with The Bachelor!

Born and raised around Houston Texas, Jessica spent most of her life complaining about the heat, humidity, and all around pain in the ass weather. It was only as an adult that she quickly realized the cost of living in Houston made up for not being able to breathe when she stepped outside. That’s why God created central air, after all.

Jessica is the mother of a perfect little boy–she refuses to accept that he inherited her attitude and sarcastic nature no matter what her husband says.

In addition to being a wife and mom, she’s also a wino, a coffee addict, and an avid lover of all types of books–romances still being her all time favs. Her husband likes to claim that reading is her obsession but she just says it’s a passion…there’s a difference. Not that she’d expect a boy to understand.

Jessica has been writing since she was a little girl, but thankfully grew out of drawing her own pictures for her stories before ever publishing her first book. Because an artist she is not.
