BLURB

Sawyer Roarke was my best friend.

Growing up, our families were inseparable. We spent summers vacationing at the beach. In the school yard, it was us against the world. Then puberty hit, and we skated the thin line of staying buddies, or becoming more. Until I accidentally found the pros and cons list he made about whether or not to date me. And there were definitely more bullet points on the no side.

Acting out of rage and hurt, I embarrassed him in the most public way possible. Now, we’re enemies.We’ve spent the last two years tearing each other to pieces. Everyone knows that Blair and Sawyer hate the ground the other walks on, and unfortunately, I got the unpopular end of the stick while he became Mr. Prom King.

Until senior year starts, and I’m tired of running scared. For the first time ever, I stand up to the golden boy with the whip-smart tongue. As the challenges and dares pick up speed, hearts start to fall and feelings get entangled. Despite my initial discovery, I wonder if being caught by each other wouldn’t be so bad.Except Sawyer has no idea what I found all those years ago.

And if the truth comes out about why I pitted us against each other, not only will he add one more con to his list … but he can add my broken heart as well.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I binged Foes & Cons in a day, because I could not put it down. Sawyer and Blair’s story hooked me from the prologue, and I had to know how things would turn out after that disastrous game of Seven Minutes In Heaven.

Sawyer and Blair were once best friends, but after she humiliated him that night, they have been sworn enemies. And Sawyer had no clue why the person he knew better than anyone would have done that to him. Blair has kept the knowledge of what she knew he wrote about her to herself for years. But when they have to work on a project together, her resolve starts to crumble. And Sawyer is hella confused about his growing feelings for the best friend who betrayed him.

By the time I got to Blair’s confession of having seen Sawyer’s pros & cons list, I cried for these two. He loves her, she loves him, always have and always will. But have they done too much damage to repair their fractured friendship?

“Locke is back and at her best with another heartwarming Mason brother to fall in love with.” — K. Bromberg New York Times bestselling author

Reckless, an all-new swoon-worthy standalone romance in the Mason Family series from USA Today bestselling author Adriana Locke is available now!

“How did you get in here?”

That’s not what you want to hear when you’re staring into the sea-green eyes of the hottest man you’ve ever seen. Yet I suppose it’s a fair question, considering I’m an uninvited stranger standing in Boone Mason’s kitchen.

If you think that’s bad—just wait. It gets worse.

This charming and wealthy playboy, who can’t pay his bills on time or find his way to the grocery store (but we all have flaws, right?), is sweet. Confident. Playful. He’s almost perfect. And, to make matters worse …

He’s smitten with me.

I know what you’re thinking. You’re rolling your eyes. You’re assuming this is some opposites attract situation—or that maybe we can be friends who turn into something more.

How can this be a bad thing?

Well, it’s simple. I’m not the kind of girl you fall in love with. Just to be sure, the universe reminds me of that in an unforgettable, in-your-face kind of way.

I might have broken into Boone’s house, but I won’t let him break my heart. I won’t break his either. There’s too much on the line to be that reckless.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Okay, Jaxi and Boone’s meet-cute is one of a kind: she accidentally breaks into his house rather than going next door, where she’s supposed to be house-sitting for her cousin. I loved it! This is an adorable instalove story where a reckless decision leads to the happily ever after neither of them expected.

Jaxi is such a sweet heroine. Nothing in her life seems to pan out for her, and she’s constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop. Especially so when she suddenly is given custody of her late sister’s young daughter, and she and Boone become an instant family when he insists Jaxi and Rosie love with him. She doesn’t want to overstep and has a hard time accepting his help. Meanwhile, Boone, the baby of the family who has always been the partier, the lackadaisical one, finds himself inspired to do better, be better, for Jaxi and Rosie. All of a sudden, the goofball sees his forever in front of him — but then a miscommunication tears it all apart.

Yes, the conflict could have been avoided if they actually spoke what was on their minds, but Adriana Locke beautifully wrote the scene to play upon each of their insecurities and weak spots. It was a tough scene to read through, but it had an impact.

And that Boone Swoon when he makes his grand gesture to win her back? I cried. I’m loving the Mason family series and can’t wait to see the rest of the brothers fall in love!

“This book had me hooked at the first sentence. I have never read a plot quite like this one with so many unique twists and turns. I even shed a few tears for what this powerhouse of a female lead went through. Great read!”
~Audrey Carlan, #1 NYT Bestselling Author

All the Ugly Things, an all-new beautiful and emotional romance in the Love & Lies duet from Stacey Lynn is available now!

One night changed everything.
In a single breath my entire future was ripped away.

Now I’m left simply trying to pick up the pieces.
Endless nights waiting tables in hopes of keeping a single piece of the dream I left behind.

He came for pie with dark eyes and a cocky smile.
But those eyes saw more than they should.
Past my walls to all those secrets I’d long buried.

That should’ve been my first warning.
I should’ve said no when he offered me a job too good to be true.
But I said yes.

Slowly friendship sparked to something more.
Stolen moments became an obsession neither of us could kick.

Hudson gave me more than I’d ever dreamed.
So much of what I had lost.
A home. A family.

I should’ve known it was all a beautiful lie.
I should’ve known he’d only leave me with all the ugly things…

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

This book completely captivated me from the first page. I have read several Stacey Lynn books before, but those were all much more light-hearted. All The Ugly Things has a bit of a darker tone, and is much more angsty than anything by SL that I’ve read in the past. An I absolutely devoured it! Lilly’s backstory is heartbreaking. She’s so alone, and after a stint in prison for a crime she didn’t commit, has no one to turn to and thinks she’s unworthy of love and affection. Her life changes thanks to David Valentine and his son, Hudson, but she has no clue why they are showing such a sudden interest in her. Hudson’s guilt about lying to Lilly practically jumps off the page. I could FEEL how horrible he felt about the secret he’s been keeping from her, and it affects every interaction they have. Whether Lilly knows it or not. And because he’s already heads over heels for her, it guts him every time he can’t be truthful with her about why he and his father sought her out. The reason why David and Hudson are so invested in helping Lilly get back on her feet isn’t revealed yet, but there’s a pretty good indicator of what the reason is based on the cliffhanger of this book, the first in a duet. I need the conclusion to this story now! Yes, Hudson betrayed her, but I’m pretty sure he had good reasons and I can’t wait to see how this unfolds in book 2! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Excerpt

She worked in a shithole diner and probably lived in a shithole place when she was the daughter of a state judge, probably grew up in private schools with a Mercedes gifted to her on her sixteenth birthday and more money than my own parents had. This shouldn’t be her life.
She’s better than this. Better than her circumstance and I believe her. She just needs someone to help.
The memory of Melissa’s pleading eyes made me squeeze my own eyes shut. “Fucking bleeding heart.”
Since she could walk, she had a calling to save everything from kittens and frogs and turtles in the road to classmates and children where she worked.
One last request. Promise me.
I’d wanted to throttle her slim, pale throat.
I gripped the door handle and scowled at the silver-plated handle, before I threw it open.
“Happy now?” I asked, and somehow, I knew she was.
Lilly was still in the back when I entered. Where Dad said she always stood, there was an old laptop with notebooks spread open. I took the seat at the far end and waited, snagging a menu from the counter on my way.
The food was cheap, basic diner food, perfect for the clientele a place like this brought in. Greasy, thick burgers, patty melts, and Reubens. Sandwiches and burgers and two salad options.
It was late enough none of it appealed to me. Probably why my dad came for the pies.
Fortunately for me, he’d said they were the best he’d ever tasted, and I’d inherited his sweet tooth.
The creak of old, squeaky door hinges rang out and I lifted my head.
Lilly came out carrying a tray stacked with food, focused on the four-top. I didn’t move for fear of distracting her. Not a great first impression to make if she ended up covered in grease and condiments.
The guys at the table did more shoulder-slapping, whooping and hollering like they were watching the Super Bowl and not their food being delivered. I kept my eyes on them, waiting for one to give me a reason to put an end to all of them. The dark-haired guy would be first. He sat at the outer edge of the booth and as Lilly leaned forward to deliver a tray to the guy next to him, his hand hovered inches from her backside.
The blond across the table egged him on with a nod but she stood back, put space between them, and barked, “Even think of touching me and none of you are leaving with your dicks still attached to your body.”
“Oohh. I’ll show you mine happily,” one said, hands dropping to his lap.
She glared at him, resting bitch face I was certain she learned in prison firmly in place. It didn’t look right on her. Too hard. Too forced.
What would she have been like as a smiling, happy teenager before life was stolen from her?
Damn it. I felt it then. That pull my dad had when he first saw her.
She’d lost too much.

How to Nail a Stud
Katharine Sadler
Publication date: April 16th 2021
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Shel is tired of dating men who don’t appreciate her rock and roll wardrobe or her tomboy tendencies. She’s swearing off dating, and she is not going to give another moment’s thought to the hot single dad next door. She is not going to waste a single moment dwelling on his muscles or his eyes or the way he plays with his adorable six-year-old daughter.

Max has made mistakes, he’s been a terrible father, and he has no problem spending the rest of his life atoning by being the best, most devoted parent he can possibly be. A devoted father does not have wicked thoughts about his sexy neighbor, and he most certainly does not consider an actual relationship.

Except, he can’t stop thinking about Shel, and he’s not sure what to do about it.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

How To Nail A Stud is a charming frenemies/neighbors to lovers romcom from a new-to-me author. There is a lot of push and pull between Max and Shel, and it kind of drove me crazy that he was so wishy-washy about things. They both have a not-so-pretty history, and their friendship becomes front and center in the media thanks to an ex with a grudge. And who Shel is, as the daughter of two world-famous singers.

While I didn’t love this story as a whole, there were a lot of parts that I liked. I thought Max’s daughter Addy and her obsession with Shel’s dog was absolutely adorable.Max really tried to do the honorable thing by keeping his distance from Shel. He’d paid dearly for some mistakes he made in the past, and didn’t want to drag her into his world. But he eventually reaches a point where he needs to decide if walking away from her would be another big mistake.

Blurb:

A sexy, brother’s best friend sports romance from # 1 New York Times bestseller Lauren Blakely!

Let me make a few things clear. I didn’t go to the wedding intending to dance with the best man, to dare him to show me a very sexy pic on his phone, or to accidentally kiss him in the hotel elevator after the reception ended.

But you know how it goes. Things just happen at weddings…

The next day, Crosby and I agree to put all those shenanigans behind us. The fun-loving, stupidly gorgeous, all-star baseball player might be my brother’s best friend, but he’s my friend too and has been for years, so it’s easy to move on, especially because I have a high-profile business to run.

But since he’s newly single and I’m always single, it turns out we both desperately need plus ones. We agree to “publicly date” over the next two weeks of galas, parties and events before his baseball season begins.

The only trouble is the more time I spend with Crosby, the more I keep imagining how much I want him to take my V-card.

And when I broach the possibility with Crosby, his answer surprises the hell out of me.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Nadia hasn’t had much luck in the dating arena, and her brother’s best friend, Crosby, is on a dating hiatus. So they agree to be each others’ plus-one to her brother’s wedding… and then continue to fake date until the start of baseball season for Crosby, a pro player. Things are going so well in their non-relationship that Nadia asks Crosby to take her V card. And that’s when lines begin to blur and this fake dating suddenly begins to feel all too real.

I really loved how strong of a heroine Nadia is. She owns an NFL team and is a confident, kick-ass girl boss. She’s a virgin, and while the crux of her romantic relationship with Crosby rests on that fact, she doesn’t let it define her. She doesn’t apologize for it, but embraces it. And even though Crosby is her brother’s best friend, that is kind of a non-issue as well, since there is nothing taboo about these two young professionals getting involved.

What you get is a typical Lauren Blakely romcom — full of heat, full of witty banter and funny moments, a sweet connection between the H/h and a wonderful group of side characters. The story sets up the further books in the series, and one of the epilogues is told from the POV of Holden, presumably the next book’s hero. I’m intrigued to see what more LB brings to this series, because it is off to a great start!
