BLURB

The first time I met my best friend’s boyfriend, he was rude to me.

Sure, Gabriel Francis was all cheekbones and dishevelled hair with a voice that made women swoon and incited bidding wars with record labels. A pure drop of light in a sea of grunge. The soul of a romantic poet.

None of that swayed me though.

I didn’t trust rock stars.

Besides, he was off-limits.

But as Annika’s infatuation grew, and we were forced to spend more time together, I became enamored with Gabriel, too.

A friendship was forged, and we became each other’s muses.

My art. His music. An artistic collaboration, nothing more.

Until I heard the lyrics to his new song. So eerily familiar. And just like that, my dreams were shattered. Fate had done me dirty, and I tried my best to forget him.

Even so, I couldn’t help wondering, How much would you risk for a once in a lifetime love?

I DREAMT THAT YOU LOVED ME is an angsty, emotional, rockstar romantic standalone set in New York City in the 90s.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Wow, I Dreamt That You Loved Me was intense! From the moment Cleo and Gabriel first met, it was intense between them. And unbeknownst to either of them, the universe had them cross paths two years before her roommate began dating him. This story starts out with Cleo trying to keep her distance, but turns into something so much bigger because she and Gabriel just can’t stay away from one another. There’s no cheating — they don’t get involved until after he’s ended things with her roommate — but it’s so clear that Cleo and Gabriel complete one another.

Set against the backdrop of NYC in the 1990s (which I loved!), Cleo and Gabriel are living life to the fullest, full of hope, dreams, and enjoying each moment with their twin flame. That all changes in an instant when Gabriel has a medical issue that shakes Cleo to her core. Their story then takes a brutal turn and becomes about a marriage in peril, a couple on the brink of divorce, and whether or not it can be saved.

Along the way, and during their separation, both Gabriel and Cleo do a lot of soul-searching and “finding themselves.” It’s heartwrenching, but so necessary for them to move forward after the crisis they face. It’s brutal and gritty, but it’s a gripping story and Emery Rose did a great job with this couple.

Home Run by Lulu Moore is now live in audio!

🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧 Narrated by: Teddy Hamilton & Savannah Peachwood 🎧🎧🎧🎧

A sexy, accidental pregnancy, one night stand, sports romance from bestselling author, Lulu Moore

My name is Tanner Simpson and I’m gonna be a father.

I never intended for it to happen, but one thing led to another and now Millie Robinson and I are connected for life.

I have no problem with this as she’s the woman of my dreams and her being the future mother of my child is the icing on the cake.

There’s just one small snag.

She can’t stand me.

Shocking, I know, but nevertheless a problem I must solve, preferably before the baby arrives.

So when she needs a new place to live, an opportunity presents itself for Millie to become my neighbor.

When I’m not on the road fighting for a spot in the post season, I’m with Millie morning, noon and night. She wants ice-cream, I’m getting it. Chocolate brownies, no problem.

Navigating impending fatherhood is nothing compared to convincing Millie to take a chance on me. On us.

She’s been my Home Run since the first day I laid eyes on her.

Now I need to prove to her I’m as lovable as everyone says I am, and the one she needs around forever.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Home Run was so charming. Pro baseball player Tanner has had a crush on Millie for quite some time. She is dating one of his teammates, so they are in the same friend group. One day, Tanner gets an opportunity to spend some solo time with Millie, and one thing leads to another, and they end up having a one-night stand (well, one-afternoon stand). But after the lust faded, Millie freaks out thinking about Tanner’s playboy reputation and kicks him out. Except that she has no idea he really, genuinely likes her.

So when Millie learns she’s pregnant a few weeks later, Tanner takes full advantage of the opportunity to prove to Millie that she’s it for him. From sending her the brownies she’s craving to just spending every spare moment with her, Tanner really shows up and puts in the work to woo her. I actually got kind of mad at Millie for taking so long to recognize the gem she had in front of her!

I listened to the audio, and Teddy Hamilton and Savannah Peachwood were a delight as Tanner and Millie. TH is my favorite male narrator, and I thought they both brought so much depth to these characters.

Home Run is a book in the New York Lions series, so there is a lot of crossover from other characters. I have not read anything else in this series, so there were some references that I was a bit lost on, but it didn’t really impact my overall enjoyment of this story.

The Sun Will Rise by S. Sidney is now available on KU and Amazon!

After a few awful dates, Ruth Bevan has sworn off men. She’s a pragmatist. A problem solver. A lawyer. A cougar? It’s not a word she’d ever think of to describe herself—but then again, she hasn’t met Everett Tanner yet. Everett lives to ranch and ranches to live, but while he’s busy putting the family business first, he’s not giving himself time to process his emotions after a great loss.

A few chance meetings in airport lounges puts Everett firmly on Ruth’s radar (and in her fantasies). A couple of exchanged phone numbers and transatlantic FaceTime calls puts him firmly in her heart. The only problem is, Ruth’s heart is already torn, because the law career she’s always wanted is becoming something she dreads, and the fear is beginning to cost her friendships.

When his small town becomes a ghost town, and Ruth begins to unravel, Everett has to step up. No more waiting out the storm: the cowboy is saving the town *and* the girl.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

The Sun Will Rise is a charming long-distance romance between lawyer Ruth and cowboy Everett, who first meet at an airport. Fate brings them together more than once, and they can’t deny that there’s a sizzling connection between them. But what do they do when an ocean separates them? (The long-distance FaceTime dates were adorable, especially how excited Everett got about them.)

I really enjoyed getting to know these characters, especially seeing Ruth navigate her journey in balancing her career and personal life. Her girlfriends (from the other books in this series) are there to cheer her on along the way. I also loved how Everett was such a golden retriever hero to her black cat energy.

I missed the second book in this series, so there were some referenced story points that I was a little lost on. The Sun Will Rise is a standalone, but I think there’s a better overall experience if you read them in order.

The Homemaker by Jewel E. Ann is now live!

A romance inspired by TS “Fortnight”

I was hers, but she was never mine.

Alice Yates is the hired “homemaker” for the Morrisons, an affluent couple in Minneapolis. For Alice, it’s a dream job to dress up like a 1950s housewife and read romance novels to Mr. Morrison before his afternoon nap.

But when the Morrisons’ only daughter returns home for the summer with her fiancé, Alice comes face- to-face with her shattered past—the only threat to her perfect life.

Eight years earlier, vacation rental owner Murphy Paddon had an impeccable vinyl record collection and did the most irresistible thing before kissing Alice, earning him a five-star rating. Their fortnight love affair was life-altering and ended tragically.

Murphy doesn’t know if Alice remembers him or whether he should tell his fiancée that the hired-help living in the guesthouse is the woman who irreparably broke his heart. He needs closure, but will the lingering glances and silent yearning lead to the end or just the beginning?

Grab your copy of The Homemaker, from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Jewel E. Ann, and lose yourself in this forbidden, high-stakes romance.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

The Homemaker was a doozy! I always know that I am going to absolutely love a Jewel E. Ann book, and this one was no different. Alice and Murphy’s story was captivating from start to finish; the vibe of this book reminded me more of her Transcend or Sunday Morning series than her lighter fare, like her Wildfire series. I really would love to circle back to this book and listen to the audio version, because I’d love to see what Robert Hatchett can do with this character.

This book has quirky, lovable characters, a gripping storyline, a second-chance romance told in dual timelines, and a whole lot of messy angst. Alice takes a job as a “homemaker” for a wealthy couple, and it comes complete with a cute little guest cottage to reside in. She never expected that her boss’s soon-to-be son-in-law was Murphy, the guy she had a whirlwind (but short-lived) romance with eight years ago.

The Homemaker packs so much within the pages; it’s so much more than a forbidden, second-chance romance. Missed connections, falling for the right person at the wrong time, grief, and loss. It’s angsty and messy, and perfectly Jewel E. Ann.

I came back to Deep Cove with a 6-year-old secret and a million memories I’ve tried hard to forget. But I’ve never been able to forget him.

Ford Winters is more than just my ex. He’s my first love. He’s the only man I’ve ever truly given my heart to. He’s also the father of a little girl he doesn’t even know exists.
I didn’t plan on coming back home, but when I found out my mom needed me, I didn’t hesitate. So here we are, my daughter Poppy and I, back in the place where I left my shattered heart all those years ago.

What I didn’t expect? Walking into the office of my new perfect-on-paper marketing job to discover Ford owns the multi-million dollar company. He won’t even look at me. He’s furious, and he has every right to be after I walked out of his life without even a goodbye. But I need this job, and the company needs me, so we’re going to have to make this work.

Easier said than done.

The pull between us is magnetic. The tension is impossible to ignore. Every second we spend together is fire, and when he finally kisses me, I’m reminded why my heart has always been his.

But when I see how kind and sweet Ford is with my daughter—our daughter—it makes the guilt inside me twist like a knife. If he knew the real reason I walked away from him, if he knew the secret I still can’t bring myself to reveal, he would never forgive me.

I can’t keep the truth from him for much longer, but how do I tell him without losing everything?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Deal Breaker is the first book in a new series from author Lily Miller. Seven years after Landyn ghosted Ford, she’s back in town to be closer to her ill mother… and is forced to face the love of her life after leaving him with no explanation when she gets a temp job as a PR fixer at his athletic lifestyle company.

I am choosing to overlook the fact that Landyn hid such a massive secret from Ford for six years, and then waited so long to tell him once she was back in town. Because other than that, I really loved this story. It had all the right pieces to make it an emotional rollercoaster as Ford and Landyn found their way back together. The way he gravitated toward Poppy was so sweet and that little girl held his heart from the second he saw her.

I loved immersing myself into the quaint town of Deep Cove, and getting to know Ford’s brothers. Also, Landyn’s co-workers Becca and Marco were a hoot.

I’m looking forward to seeing the other Winters brothers find love. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

DON’T GO BREAKING MY HEART by Sara Ney is AVAILABLE NOW

Blurb:

A laugh-out-loud, swoon-filled romantic comedy that’s the perfect for every independent girlie who knows exactly what she wants—but falls for the one person she shouldn’t. The shirtless guy across the hallway….

When I landed a new job in a brand-new city, I needed a place to live—fast. Enter: the spare bedroom in a suburbia McMansion with a pool, wine fridge, and stove that probably costs more than my car. Perfect setup, right?

Wrong. My new roommate saw me practically naked on night one.

Then I catch him doing something that rhymes with “disasterbating.”

Half hockey player, half Viking, Turner “Skaggs” Hutton III is the human embodiment of a golden retriever and is off-limits. Which would be easy if the chemistry between us wasn’t hotter than this blazing Texas sun…

The chemistry? Molten.The tension? Physically painful.

Think: slow burn with zero impulse control. Think: tight spaces with his hand on my thigh during a cramped car ride…And could someone please explain to me why I find it so damn sexy watching his massive hands choose the prefect LEGO brick? Send help!

He’s sworn off distractions to save his career. I’m focused on building mine and certainly not looking for a boyfriend. But when one too many lapses in judgment and one missed cycle leads to an emergency trip to the pharmacy…

Well. Things could get complicated.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

This book was so fun! It’s a swoony and spicy forced proximity roommates romance, and I loved the chemistry between independent Poppy and golden retriever, Lego-building Tanner. Don’t Go Breaking My Heart is a connected standalone within the Houston Baddies Hockey series; Poppy is besties with Nova, and Turner plays hockey with Luca.

Poppy recently relocated for work, so Nova sets her up in the empty bedroom at Luca’s house now that they are living together. Poppy and Tanner’s first meeting is not what either one of them expects (underwear, breakfast, and an early arrival back home are involved) and the attraction between them is immediate. But Poppy has been hurt in the past, and she’s hesitant to give in to the attraction she feels for Tanner. Things progress when they connect on a dating app, and once they take off, it is fire between them.

I absolutely loved everything about these two… except for the miscommunication trope. Their situationship was so easy, and they clicked together right away, but when things got a little too close for comfort, Poppy freaked out and it just led to a breakdown in communication between them. I thought they had it together better than that.

Overall, this book is a delightful, low-angst, swoony roommates story that will sweep you off your feet. I received a complimentary copy and voluntarily left a review.

TEXTS FROM MY EXES by Rachel Van Dyken is AVAILABLE NOW

“𝑭𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒆𝒙 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒚…𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒍 𝒎𝒚 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅 𝒗𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕.”

Some people scrapbook.

I screenshot my exes’ texts.

What started as me venting my dating disasters online (creative outlet, don’t judge) has turned into a blog with actual followers—and the only thing keeping me in my dirt-cheap apartment. My grandmother-slash-landlord insists I “prove my creativity” to stay, so the blog lives on.

Except now my readers want a happy ending. With an ex.

Problem? None of my exes qualify.

So…I invent one. The perfect guy. The one that got away.

Rule #1: Never roast your exes online if they know how to read.

Rule #2: Definitely don’t make up a fake ex-boyfriend just to keep your rent low.

Rule #3: do not—under any circumstances—let your best friend discover the lie.

Because now he’s volunteered to become my fake perfect ex. And the more we fake it, the more I can’t tell if my readers are the only ones falling for the story.

Turns out, the biggest plot twist of all?

I might have been in love with him the whole time.

Texts From My Exes is a cute best friends, fake relationship romance dropped into the middle of a social media circus.

Schoolteacher Harper blogs a bit about her dating misadventures on the side, and is hoping to go viral as a content creator. Her grandmother/landlord challenges her to go have a post go viral or lose her apartment. So Harper decides to share texts from her exes, and have her followers decide which guy she should rekindle things with — but makes up one ex-boyfriend. When she has to actually go on a date with said fake ex and document it all for social media, Harper’s nerdy best friend, Ezra, steps in as the faux beau.

Will fake dating ruin their friendship, or will it make Harper finally realize that the right guy has been in front of her all along? And when Ezra’s secret past comes to light (because nothing is buried in the digital age), will everything come crashing to a halt?

Harper is a bit of a quirky heroine, but stable Ezra balanced her out nicely. Texts From My Exes is funny and sweet, with funny banter between the two main characters, and memorable secondary characters (like Grandma Blue and Ezra’s dad).

BEAUTIFUL DESIRE by Ashley James is NOW LIVE

Blurb:

When I find out I could lose my bookstore, I make a deal with the devil to save it, not realizing I would end up in bed with the last person I ever thought I’d be hot and sweaty with…

Fletcher St. James

Even at twenty-four, he’s a spoiled brat. He believes the whole world owes him something, and he really needs to be put in his place.

When his wealthy, power-hunger father propositions me with something I desperately need in exchange for teaching his son a little responsibility, it’s an offer I can’t refuse.

After all, there’s nothing I enjoy more than humbling an arrogant man and bringing him to his knees.

This should be a piece of cake.

But one thing I didn’t expect was how much Fletcher would enjoy it… Or how much that would turn me on. The tension quickly boils over, and before I know it, we’re giving in to our illicit desires, consequences be damned.

I crave the feeling of his body against mine, and the needy sounds he makes right before he begs.

But more than that, I can’t get enough of the little things, like the way the golden sun looks reflecting off his green eyes in the morning, or how beautiful his vulnerability is.

And when his touch becomes my safe space, bringing out a softer side of me I’ve kept locked away for too long, it’s impossible to remember why this is wrong.

When the secrets come out about the lascivious things we indulge in behind closed doors, will it be worth it, or will this deal end up costing me everything?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I wasn’t expecting to love Georgia and Fletcher’s story as much as I did! It’s the third book in the Blossom Beach series, and stands on its own as a reverse age gap, roommate, forced proximity story between Georgia and the family’s younger stepbrother, Fletcher.

Georgia needs to save her bookstore, and the only way to do that is to agree to have her spoiled, younger stepbrother live with her while he completes the last semester of his MBA. Fletcher’s been cut off financially by his father until he completes the program, and isn’t thrilled by the idea that he has to work at his stepsister’s bookstore in order to get half of the real estate development firm that has been promised to him. Especially since he’s always had a bit of a crush on Georgia.

The chemistry between them is charged right out of the gate. The sexual tension is simmering underneath the surface in every interaction, and it is explosive once Georgia and Fletcher finally give in. I loved the push and pull between these two. Fletcher still has that cocky, spoiled brat air about him (that the siblings didn’t like so much when he was younger) and gives off alpha vibes, but Georgia ended up being the dominant one in their relationship many times. And it took Fletcher by surprise just how much he liked being her “good boy.” But there are also some really sweet scenes where they get vulnerable with one another, and I loved those just as much.

I loved the personal growth on Fletcher’s part throughout this book. He changed so much and really put in the work to be a man worthy of Georgia’s love. Meanwhile, having been burned by a partner in the past, Georgia holds everyone at arm’s length and is hesitant to get involved with Fletcher for anything other than physical release. Their feelings kind of snuck up on both of them, and I loved how that unfolded. The narration by Erin Mallon and Sebastian York was *chef’s kiss* — the way SebYo growled out some of those scenes was hot!

Now, after that preview for Emmett and Charley’s book…. I need it! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Hockey Romance Queen Natasha Madison launches another spinoff series with Only For Tonight, and it is just as great as the books that came before it! This next-gen series features Jaxon Stevenson (son of Manning & Evelyn from Only One Night) and Ariella Weber (Ralph & Candace from Only One Kiss). Because their fathers are best friends, Jaxon and Ariella have been around each other their whole lives, but he’s seven years older than her, and lives in Los Angeles playing hockey, while she lives in NYC, so they haven’t seen each other in several years. They have a one-night stand at a charity event in Dallas (where they are both from), which results in a surprise pregnancy.

Their long-distance relationship is somewhat undefined in the beginning, and I enjoyed seeing how they navigated that. There is great chemistry between Jaxon and Ariella, and I enjoyed their banter and text messages, and how she worried about how their fathers would react to their situation. I would have liked to have seen a little more substance between these characters and less between-the-sheets scenes; one of my favorite parts was how concerned Jaxon was by Ariella’s nausea, and how he took care of her through that. His ex-girlfriend is certifiable, and leads to the drama between Jaxon and Ariella when he starts to pull away.

I thought that Connor Crais and Savannah Peachwood did a great job with Jaxon and Ariella. This book is an enjoyable, low-angst read, and I look forward to the rest of this series!
