FALLING TOO SOON

Michele Elizabeth

Release Date: September 3

Blurb:

She wanted a quiet place to put her life back together. He was looking for inspiration. What they found was each other.

Daphne

I just left my narcissistic ass-hat of a boyfriend and decide to take myself on a basic bitch’s dream vacation to clear my head. Imagine my surprise when I arrive at my vacation rental to find it’s been double booked. The other occupant? Nathan— A charming, infuriatingly attractive, bestselling romance author with his own emotional baggage and a tendency to strut around in nothing but gray sweatpants.

Nathan

After my fiancé cheated and I broke off our engagement, I needed space. Hoping to find inspiration for my next novel, I head out of town, but when Daphne comes crashing into my life, things take a rather abrupt turn. She’s beautiful, funny, and kind. She’s the last thing I expected but may end up being exactly what I need.

Falling Too Soon is a steamy open-door romance featuring forced proximity, he-falls-first tension and a heart-melting happily ever after.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Falling Too Soon was like a spicy Hallmark movie… I was really impressed that this was a debut novel from Michele Elizabeth!

After breaking up with his cheating ex a few days before their wedding, Nathan changes the reservation at the lakeside cabin he’d rented for their honeymoon…. and the place ends up double-booked because Daphne rented the same cabin to get away after breaking things off with her narcissistic ex. Their first meeting is quite the mishap with a dropped bottle of wine, but Daphne and Nathan decide to make the most of the situation…. and end up having quite the fling. But will their instant connection translate to the real world when they leave the secluded bubble and get back to their everyday lives?

As I stated earlier, I was really impressed that this was a debut novel. It was clean read, the characters were well-rounded, and the story was well-written. My only complaint was that the sex seemed gratuitous at times. I’m no pearl-clutcher, but I found myself swiping through some of the spicy scenes because it just got to be too much.

I’m really looking forward to the rest of this series and finding out who Nathan’s brothers end up with! I will definitely be looking for more from this author in the future!

BOARDING PASS

Kaylene Winter

Release Date: September 5

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

Love wasn’t on the itinerary. He crashed the trip.

I’m in Paris with an offer for a career-making solo photography exhibit.

I should be floating on champagne and designer euphoria.

Instead, I’m single and alone at a Tom Selleck-themed wine bar, wondering if thirty-two is too young to start over.

Then he walks in.

Messy hair, leather jacket, a smile I feel in places I haven’t for years.

One accidental wine spill and soul-shaking kiss later…

I’m about to make the most impulsive decision of my life.

I sold my company for freedom, not to get tied down.

Working like a fool is all I’ve ever known.

I need a hard reset. No expectations. No itinerary. Just a one-way ticket to Paris and a suitcase full of unresolved baggage.

Then I see her.

A knockout with wine-stained lips and eyes that could undo a man.

Our connection is instant, magical, impossible to ignore.

I didn’t come here to fall in love.

But I’m starting to think Paris had other plans.

Boarding Pass is a full-throttle, no-holds-barred romance, perfect if you love dirty talk in French bars, sunrise sex in five-star suites, and the kind of love that doesn’t ask permission.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Boarding Pass is a charming and sweet novella. It’s only 11 chapters, but it packs quite the romantic punch and is easily readable in a single sitting.

Miles (who is Shay’s twin/Austin’s best friend from The Flirt Alert) is kind of at a loss after he and Austin sell their gaming company. He’s not sure what to do with his life now that he’s a billionaire and not staying with his company, so he books a one-way ticket to Paris, leaving his next move to fate. Meanwhile, photographer Sophie is in Paris following a breakup, en route to visiting her parents in the French countryside. After an adorable meet-cute in a Tom Selleck/Magnum PI themed restaurant (BTW, I’d totally go there!), they end up spending an incredible night together that neither of them wants to end.

The one-night stand turns into Miles joining Sophie to visit her parents — and when you know, you know. There was a nice moment where Miles acknowledged how hard he was on Shay and Austin when they told him about their relationship because he thought it was too much, too soon — and he now realized how wrong he was because of his feelings for Sophie.

This book totally gave me Before Sunset vibes, that 1995 movie with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. Boarding Pass was short and sweet, but I felt like we got a full story out of Miles and Sophie, and it was just a feel-good, no-drama romance!

Hosted By:

From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes the emotional, suspenseful, and sizzling conclusion to the Timberbridge series—where danger ignites desire, and found family means no one gets left behind.

I didn’t mean to fall for a man—let alone two at once.

Especially not in the middle of a manhunt.

I moved back to Birchwood Springs to help my mom with the bakery.

What I got was a kidnapping, a conspiracy, and two men willing to burn the world down to protect me.

Malerick Timberbridge is broody, guarded, and far too used to being alone.

Cassian Harlan is the new bartender—or so he says. He’s chaos in a tactical vest and the only one who can crack Mal’s hardened exterior.

They’ve been through hell together.

But somehow, I’ve become the thread pulling them back together.

What we have isn’t simple.

It doesn’t follow rules. It doesn’t fit a label.

It just . . . is.

They make me feel seen.

Protected.

Wanted.

But this isn’t just about love.

It’s about survival.

This is our final stand.

And maybe—if we’re lucky—it’s the start of something that lasts.

The Timberbridge brothers’ journey ends here—where found family holds strong, secrets come undone, and love refuses to ask us to choose.

This is the LAST chapter of the Timberbridge Brothers… are you ready to say goodbye?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

The Timberbridge Brothers series comes to a close with The Last Call Home and Sheriff Malerick Timberbridge. This book overlaps with Atlas and Kier’s books, so there are some plot points that are picked up in TLCH that aren’t necessarily fully explained. I definitely think this series needs to be read in order.

We find out what brought Malerick back to Birchwood Springs to take on the position of small-town sheriff after working for the FBI. We learn about his history with the mysterious Cassian and what the Hollow Syndicate is after. More specifically, WHO the syndicate is after. The questions and loose ends get tied up, and along the way, a nice poly relationship forms between Mal, Cass, and Delilah. I liked the twists and turns in the suspense of this story, but I really loved the character growth of Mal and Cass from the start to the end.

I really loved Jason Clarke and JF Harding as Cassian and Mal, respectively. I could listen to those two speak all day long! I wasn’t as crazy about Dominique Franceschi, and I don’t think it was her narration as much as it was the character; Delilah irked me. I sometimes got distracted during her inner dialogue, and I just didn’t find her to be as well-written as the guys.

Overall, this was a solid series-ender! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

BLURB: 

 My life had been built on a foundation of tragedies, but nothing could have prepared me for the worst one of all. The one that should have sent me over the edge.

But I had made a vow to my wife to live … whether she was here or not.

For ten years, I got by on a steady routine, and I would’ve been content to live the rest of my days just like that. But then, my father—the source of my childhood trauma—needed me as his caregiver.

And I jumped at the chance to finally receive the love I’d craved in my youth.

And when a mystery woman from the past stumbled back into my life, along with her three little boys … I jumped at the opportunity to convince her I was worth taking a chance on, too.

If only I could be so lucky …

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Poor, tortured Max Tailor gets his long-overdue and well-deserved happy ending in Ebbing Tides — and it is with Melanie Corbin from Spider & The Storm!

Ebbing Tides picks up 10 years after Crashing Waves. It’s been a decade since Laura and their unborn baby died, since Max lost his stepdaughters, and he’s been living a lonely existence with his dog as the night watchman at the same Salem cemetery where Charlie (aka Spider) works, and caring for his dying father. But then, one night, Charlie’s visiting sister-in-law finds her way to the guard gate, and both Charlie and Melanie immediately sense a familiarity between them. That’s because they met 10 years earlier, when Max’s car broke down in a small Connecticut town, and they spent a few hours together.

The book takes place over the course of a week, during which Melanie and Charlie agree to give in to the connection between them for as long as she is in town. But seven days are not enough for these two. But there are so many factors working against them, and it’s not just the fact that Melanie lives in Connecticut. Max is so haunted by his past — not just the loss of his wife, but the torment he suffered at the hands of his abusive father for his entire life, and never knowing why.

Even though this book takes place over the course of a week, there is so much action packed into it. And Max gets all the answers he’s been looking for as far as his parents are concerned, reunites with his stepdaughters, and gets his HEA with Melanie.

I did not realize when I read the first book in this duet who Melanie and Luke were in Kelsey Kingsley’s world — and I loved how she connected the two stories (and then even gave readers a cameo from Soldier and Rain).

Well done, Kelsey! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

ENTIRELY YOURS by Rachel Lewis is AVAILABLE NOW

Jules Bardot is ready to change things up. After years of teaching music at the local high school, he’s roped his brothers into opening Bardot Brothers Coffee Co.—a dream that’s been put on the back burner. What he didn’t plan on was an unexpected surprise in the form of Thea Rose: the somehow cute and sexy, single mom who just moved to town… and the woman he never thought he’d see again.

Thea Rose wants to start over. Joining Ballet Boston gave her a taste of the big-city life, but she never expected to stay, especially after her daughter was born, effectively ending her ballet career. Now she has the chance to get back to her small-town roots, raising her daughter outside of the hustle and bustle of the city. Only problem? Her quiet and broody failed attempt at a one-night stand is everywhere… and she can’t bring herself to avoid temptation.

Just as Jules and Thea finally give in, they get the ultimate plot twist: two pink lines. Jules is thrilled, but Thea… well, she’s been down this road before. Can she give Jules the chance he’s asking for and risk building a family with him? Or will she continue to do what she does best and hold him at arm’s length in an effort to protect her own heart? Jules is determined to strike the balance between loving Thea and letting her find her own stride, ready to make her, and their growing family, entirely his.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Entirely Yours was absolutely charming! I fell hard and fast for Jules and Thea and was rooting for them to get their happily ever after!

Jules meets Thea while she’s working at a bar the night before she’s moving from Boston. He’s a musician, in town for a gig. The connection between them is instant, but their one-night stand hits a snag. A week or so later, Thea, her dad, and her adorable daughter have moved to their new town, where she’s opening a dance studio next door to the cutest cafe-in-the-making. Thea gets quite a surprise when her new neighbor looks exactly like the guy she had an almost-fling with… just without tattoos. It’s Jules’ brother, Ben, and soon Thea and Jules’ lives become intertwined.

I loved watching these two characters grow and evolve. Jules was so patient with Thea as she worked through her insecurities and the issues she had because of her past relationship with her daughter’s father. He shows up for her time and time again, and not just giving her family a place to live when their apartment floods. I loved how excited he got when Thea learned she was pregnant, and how Jules and his family took in Thea, her dad, and Chloe, and adopted them as part of their own family.

The found family, the romance between the main characters, the character development, the slow burn… this book was a delight!

This is the first book I’ve read by Rachel Lewis, and I will definitely check out the rest of this series. I read an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

CHASING FOREVER is now live in Kindle Unlimited and in Audio

It was a fun Vegas getaway—until I woke up married to my ex-fiancé’s brother.

After Watson brother #1 ditched me at the altar, I stopped believing in happily-ever-afters. So I have no clue how I ended up saying “I do” to Brooks—Watson brother #2—somewhere between tequila shots and bad decisions.

Okay, that may not be true.

Sheriff Watson has been a charming thorn in my side ever since his brother left our small ranch town in his rearview mirror. He’s a little too steady, a little too sweet, and way too intuitive because he sees through my facade. But no matter how tempting he is, he’s still a Watson.

I demand an annulment. He refuses, bargaining four real dates before he signs.

Fine. I’ll sabotage each one and keep my heart safely locked away. It’s easier this way because he has no idea the secret I’m keeping.

Of course, Brooks doesn’t go down easy—he has enough faith for both of us. He tackles my fears at every turn, making me wonder what would happen if I went all in.

But trusting the wrong man once nearly ruined me—doing it again might finish the job.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Oh my heart! Brooks and Lottie’s story was perfection! Slow and steady wins the race and after loving Lottie from the shadows for years (“long before” he was allowed to!), Brooks Watson finally gets the girl in Chasing Forever.

After accidentally getting married while in Vegas, Brooks grabs hold of the opportunity he has to convince her that he’s the guy she’s meant to be with and refuses to grant Lottie an annulment until she goes out on several dates with him. Lottie, of course, wants nothing to do with being married to Brooks after the way his brother humiliated her by standing her up on their wedding day ten years prior.

Lottie’s fear about getting involved with Brooks isn’t just about public perception. She has some deep-rooted issues of not being good enough because her ex really did a number on her. And dependable, stable Brooks just keeps showing up to prove to her that she is very much quite enough for him!

After seeing all that they go through (and how much Brooks just ADORES her), it was crystal clear when we finally got to meet his brother that she had been with the wrong one the first time around!

Stephen Dexter and Vanessa Edwin brought so much to this duet narration, perfectly capturing all the nuances of the characters and their complex relationship.

I am so happy that Piper Rayne is continuing the Plain Daisy Ranch series with the Owens branch of the family tree! I can’t wait to see what comes next! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

RULEBREAKER

Kat Mizera & Elise Faber

Release Date: August 25

She’s everything I shouldn’t want.

But that’s never stopped me before.

I didn’t become a billionaire before the age of thirty by playing it safe. I’m a risk-taker…except when it comes to matters of the heart.

Until Lily.

The pop phenom is all legs and curves, with a boisterous laugh and a wicked sense of humor—everything that drives me crazy. She drives me crazy.

But the more we butt heads, the more I crave the sound of her voice…the feel of her body against mine.

Except I’m positive she’s hiding something from me. Something big.

I let someone else keep secrets once—I won’t allow that again.

She’s mine.

And I won’t stop until she knows it.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

I have been waiting for Atlas and Lily’s story since the epilogue chapter of the previous book, and Elise Faber and Kat Mizera gave me a story that included everything I was hoping for!

Atlas is a grumpy, closed-off billionaire who barely trusts anyone and Lily is a bubbly country/pop star — and he becomes adorably tongue-tied around her. Both of these characters are workaholics, so much of their togetherness takes place in bits and pieces in between her concert dates. I loved how Atlas made the most out of those visits, being Mr. Romantic. They had a very easygoing relationship, supported one another and became the other’s landing space, After watching his friends find love, Atlas finally found someone himself… but Lily has a huge secret she’s kept buried and it very well may cause their relationship to come skidding to a stop.

There’s a HEA to this story, so no worries there. There’s a great grand gesture, and these two get the happy ending they deserve!

The Gamebreakers books are all interconnected standalones, but this found family/band of brothers is so worth getting to know by reading all of the individual books. And that teaser in the epilogue for Briar’s story! OMG I can’t wait!!

ALWAYS MEANT FOR YOU by Krista Sandor is AVAILABLE NOW

Blurb:

Mabel Muldowney is my best friend’s little sister. Sky-blue eyes. The girl who chased us through fields in pink shoes and dreamed about leaving our small town for the city.

I’m the boy from the farm next door who wasn’t supposed to fall for her.

I loved her anyway. Even when I shouldn’t. Even when I swore I wouldn’t. I buried it—every glance, every urge.

But I slipped–one time–when we were teenagers.

It was raining. We were under a willow tree.

She was ready to give me her heart, but I couldn’t be the guy who reached for his best friend’s sister. So I pulled away and built a life rooted in discipline and distance.

Then my best friend died. And Mabel left for the city.

Now she’s back with nothing but secrets and a suitcase. It’s the second chance I’ve been praying for. But she doesn’t want to stay, and I can’t leave. I’m held to the land by the promise I made to her brother as he took his final breath.

Mabel thinks I’ve spent my life ignoring her. What she doesn’t know is she’s all I’ve ever seen. I’ve got eight weeks to show her this town could be home again. Eight weeks to prove my love.

I don’t plan on wasting a second.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I adored Cal and Mabel’s story! Stoic, serious Cal has spent years trying to keep his feelings for Mabel under wraps, and Mabel has felt like she’s never fit in, both in her family and their small farming town. Following the tragic death of her brother, Jamie, Mabel set out to chase her dreams in New York City… but when the new life she’s built for herself comes crashing down, Mabel returns home to face her past. And Cal isn’t about to give up his second chance with the girl who’s always held his heart.

This book was one that had me up reading late into the night, needing to find out what happened next. I loved the layers that both these characters had, and how past hurts, insecurities, secrets, and promises impact who they are now. While Mabel is struggling to find her place in a world that she feels has no use for her, Cal is struggling under the weight of expectations. I loved seeing these two work through things and come together.

I am adding this book to my reread-again shelf! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Single-minded focus can get you far in business. In love? Not so much…

Their timing? Couldn’t be worse. Their attraction? Mutual, hot… and utterly off-limits…

Presley

Giving up my soul-sucking career and moving to a small town was supposed to simplify my life. It didn’t.

Because relaxing isn’t as easy as I’d hoped it would be. Plus, the hot contractor in charge of my home reno is all kinds of distracting.

Especially when he’s so determined to keep our relationship strictly professional…

West

As a single dad with a military background, I’d seen it all. So, I was prepared for anything life could throw at me. Until her. Presley Holiday is so perfect she almost makes me forget that sleeping with a client is forbidden.

But I can’t afford to make another mistake when it comes to love. Keeping our relationship platonic is the right thing to do. Too bad doing the right thing has zero appeal when it comes to Presley…

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

I am still relatively new to Amy Knupp’s books; the only other one I’ve read was the audio for Chance & Rowan in Single Chance. I enjoyed West and Presley’s story just as much!

West is an overwhelmed single dad to three daughters, and Presley is in between jobs when she buys a fixer-upper in Dragonfly Lake and hires his company to do the reno. The attraction between them is instant, but neither one of them is looking for anything serious. It’s a smoldering, slow burn as these two characters agree to secret hookups and fight their feelings — especially West, who struggles with his fears of letting down his three little girls. Will he make the leap and take the risk with Presley?

Stella Hunter and Connor Crais did a great job with this dual narration, capturing the vulnerable parts of the characters as well as the sexual tension between them.
