 From Wall Street Journal & USA Today bestselling author Natasha Madison comes a stand-alone small-town, second-chance sports romance. When two worlds crossover. From the This Is Series and The Southern Series. Things are supposed to go smoothly on your wedding day. Aren't they? Sofia Barnes I’ve always loved to play dress-up. Creating fake weddings was my childhood pastime. Now it is my dream come true. I’ve finally been handed my first client. But nothing could prepare me for who greeted me when I walked in. He was my first kiss, my first everything, including my first and only heartbreak. Now I have to plan his wedding. Matthew Petrov My family is filled with hockey royalty. From my grandfather to my uncle to my father. Now it is my turn to work my way up the leaderboard. I had everything that I’ve ever wanted in my life. Or so I thought. Nothing could prepare me for coming face-to-face with Sofia. I knew her inside and out. She knew my inner secrets. Two years ago, I let her go, and now she’s planning my wedding to someone else. They say time heals old wounds. They lied. Maybe she was just mine to take.


I adore that Madison blended two series together and it became something so magical. I loved Matty and I loved Sofia. The whole concept of this story from how these two are tangled up to how things all play out, made my heart happy. The whole Stone family conglomerate is intense to start but the blend is perfect for a second chance romance. The history between these two added an extra level of intensity. Great read!

You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips.

Cover Design: Book Cover Boutique
Release Date: August 22, 2023


BLURB

What happens when your wandering heart is captured by your friend with benefits?

Scarlett

Archer Kincaid is supposed to be all the fun and none of the strings, but the longer I stay in Willow River, the more I feel roots pulling me to settle down.

I plan to complete a one-year photography contract with Captured Moments, then move on to travel the world. Chasing my dreams, taking photos, and living life on my terms—shot by shot.

But I’ve been on my own since losing my adopted parents, and home isn’t about a place as much as it is a feeling. And Archer’s starting to feel like home, but loving him means trading one dream for another.


Archer

Scarlett Hatfield is the kind of girl who can’t be tamed. Her adventurous spirit is contagious, but a blue-collar man like me doesn’t chase dreams. I build them from the ground up. And my home is in Willow River.

I can see myself building a life with the gorgeous redhead who’s turning my world upside down, but that means clipping her wings. And I could never do that, not when she’s meant for more than my small-town life.

Even if it means destroying my heart, when the time comes, I’ll have to say goodbye and let her stay wild.

Cover Revel: Marry Lies by Amanda Richardson

 




Title: Marry Lies
Series: Ravaged Castle #2
Author: Amanda Richardson
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Marriage of Convenience/Opposites Attract
Photographer: Rafa G Catala
Release Date: August 22, 2023


BLURB

He never wanted a wife, but for her, he’d spin a web of lies.

Miles
The idea of seeking a wife to salvage our family’s reputation starts as a joke… until it spirals into a desperate reality.
Before I know it, I’m lying my way into a marriage of convenience with a woman who is everything I’m not.
Estelle Deveraux radiates warmth where I’m shrouded in darkness, exudes vibrant colors while I dwell in shades of gray, and irritates me with her maddening cheerfulness.
I find myself entranced, watching… craving.
Before I know it, she's not just my wife but an all-consuming obsession—one I didn’t anticipate.
And one I can’t let go.

Stella
Being presented with an opportunity to kickstart my clothing line is a dream come true.
The only caveat? I have to stay married to Miles Ravage for a year and sing his praises to anyone who will listen.
Bad-tempered, unsmiling, and cold, Miles is exactly the kind of man I loathe.
However, beneath the ice, I uncover an enticing complexity–a veiled darkness that lures me in, begging me to discover his secrets.
One watchful secret in particular… with me as his sole obsession.

Marry Lies is a marriage of convenience, opposites attract/frenemies-to-lovers romance with a voyeur hero and Beauty and the Beast themes. It is book two in the Ravaged Castle series. All books can be read as standalones.

Warning: This book contains a grumpy hero who hates everyone but her. It also contains explicit sexual situations and strong language. There is no cheating, and there is a HEA.

Cover Reveal: I Could Never by Penelope Ward

 




Title: I Could Never
Author: Penelope Ward
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Forbidden Romance/Enemies to Lovers
Cover Design: Letitia Hasser, RBA Designs
Photographer: Anders Kavin
Release Date: August 21, 2023


BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new forbidden, enemies-to-lovers story…

It all started with an unexpected phone call.
Two years after my fiancé passed away in an accident, his father died suddenly, leaving Brad’s adult, special-needs brother with no one to care for him.
The next thing I knew, I was on a cross-country drive to New Hampshire where I’d be moving in to look after Scottie until I could get him into a group home.
The last thing I ever expected?
I wouldn’t be taking care of him alone.
Josh Mathers, my fiance’s best friend—who also happened to be my sworn enemy—insisted he was the better person for the job. He told me to go back to California, and I told him where he could stick that demand.
Our disdain for each other wasn’t anything new. It dated back to a text I’d accidentally read years ago.
We hated each other. But we both loved Scottie, so neither of us budged.
Now we were living together in a tiny house—with one available bedroom. Thank goodness it was only temporary.
Over time, I realized the broody jerk I thought I knew was different than I’d imagined.
I found myself slowly growing attached to someone I once considered the enemy…and growing attracted to him.
Sure, both of us were guilt-ridden over Brad. We were also two grown people with pent-up frustration toward one another—stuck in a cabin in the woods.
But this was Josh.
I could never.

A Kissing Games Series Standalone
Author: Lacey Black
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Opposites Attract/Different Worlds
Release Date: July 13, 2023


BLURB

Decker

If you ask my family, I’m wasting my life. If you ask me, I’m living it to the fullest. Am I capable of doing more? Absolutely. However, slinging drinks at the resort makes me happy. At least for now. Not that my family would understand.

It’s just another night behind the bar, until it isn’t. She’s everything I never knew I wanted wrapped up in one breathtaking package.

I’m drawn from the start, willing to do what it takes for a little more time. The problem is the sand in the hourglass is running out. Her extended stay is coming to an end, and when it does, I’ll have to let her go.

Even if I don’t want to.

Adeline

I’ve been looking forward to this weekend since my best friend announced her destination wedding. Sure, I wanted to see my oldest friend marry the love of her life, but I also needed a break from life…from my father.

However, even states away, he still manages to control my fate. I wanted one weekend. Three days without the stresses and obligations that come along with having my last name.

For the first time in my life, I ignore my father’s demands and open my eyes to what I truly want. I’m seeing everything around me in a new light, and that includes the hot bartender at the resort.

That’s how I ended up kissing a stranger.

I love that there is a story with the bartender that caught the eye in the first few books. Seeing Adeline and Decker’s story unfold was fun and sweet. Both are running essentially from expectation from family. From the pace, the spicy and the connection that these two have, this story wraps you up and leaves your heart happy.

The Flame King's Captive by Lilith Vincent writing as Chloe Chastaine

 




Title: The Flame King's Captive
A Fated Mates Fantasy Romance
Trilogy: Fire and Desire #1
Author: Lilith Vincent writing as
Chloe Chastaine
Genre: Fantasy Romance
Tropes: Non-shifter Omegaverse/Fated Mates
Release Date: July 12, 2023


BLURB

He snatched me from the jaws of death for one reason—to be his.

I was a dead king’s sacrificial bride, until his murderer claimed me as his. Zabriel invaded my country of Maledin on the back of a monstrous, fire-breathing dragon and took me prisoner.

The lethal Zabriel towers over me in steel plate armor, and he could easily crush the life out of me—but the Flame King isn’t interested in harming me. Instead, he destroys everyone who has hurt me in a storm of fire and vengeance.

There’s malignant rot deep within my country. My family has vanished along with whole villages of people. As I desperately try to find those who are missing, my body and heart awaken under a powerful and alarming force.

Zabriel sets my soul ablaze every time he growls, “Mine.” He calls me Omega. The rarest. The most vulnerable. The one he craves to possess and protect.

When evil forces in Maledin threaten everyone I know and love, there’s only one person who is strong enough to help me defeat them, and the only place where I’m safe from an ancient foe is in the arms of the Flame King.

Author’s note: The Flame King’s Captive is a slow-burn non-shifter MF omegaverse romance set in a fantasy world of magic and dragonriders. Zabriel is a jealous and possessive Alpha, and Isavelle is a sweet but strong virgin Omega heroine. This is the first book in the Fire and Desire trilogy. It contains steamy content that increases with each subsequent book and ends on a cliffhanger.

 Words cannot express how excited I was for this story and how much I am in LOVE with this story. The concept, the world building, the characters. EVERYTHING just had me in its grasp and I could not get enough. I lived for every moment of this book. The sass and stubborn fierceness of Isavelle. The tenacity and alphaness of Zabriel. There is so much of this story that I was lost within the world that was created that I lived for it. Chastaine/Vincent created an intense world that will keep you on your toes and have you begging for more. But legit, I NEED MORE! When is the next book? I need it stat!

Fate of a Royal by Meagan Brandy & Amo Jones

FATE OF A ROYAL

Meagan Brandy AND Amo Jones

Release Date: July 7


FREE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED




“You will go to Rathe University, live among the giftless and those of light magic. You, Knight Deveraux, will learn to coexist.” 

I’ve never heard more wasted words in my life. Then again, the gifted counsel never did have much to say that wasn’t. The only members amongst them who speak a thing worth listening to are my parents, the King and Queen of the Stygian’s, the people of Dark Magic. 

Unfortunately for me and my brothers, they’ve chosen to play nice instead of sinking their talons into anyone who dares demand a thing from their heirs. In this instance at least. 

Every gifted is forced to leave our realm behind after graduation to spend the next four years in a world that isn’t ours, while pretending it’s enough for those with something deeper clawing beneath their skin. 

It isn’t. Not by a long shot, and while it’s as boring as I thought it would be, we find ways to entertain ourselves. 

A little Fae Dust, the power of persuasion, and it’s a party worthy of a royal … or four. 

That was fun the first year, but it’s my second now, and the minute I got back to campus, I knew it would be worse than before. I felt it, that pull buried beneath my skin, the whisper of a warning deep in my mind I could hear but couldn’t reach. 

It starts with a human party and ends with a fucking nightmare. 

I five foot, white haired one. 

With eyes like ice and a body begging to be bitten, she’s a problem. 

A giftless one. 

That’s right, she’s human.

Worthless. 

And if the shadow circling my soul is telling me what I think it is … she belongs to it. 

My new obsession … is my fated mate. 

But there is no way the fates would give me, a Lord of Rathe, a heir to the throne of dark magic, a giftless girl.

I’ll prove they got it wrong. 

That she’s not mine. 

If I’m lucky, I’ll destroy her in the process.

This cowrite is one of those stories that will take you for an absolute wild ride. I enjoyed how the writing styles blended into a story that will keep you on the edge of your toes. From the concept of the story to how Knight and London seem to just always be in each other’s space which leads to a whole lot of fun and spice. From fated mates to the magic system, you will love this story. As a fan of both the authors and fantasy stories, this is a great blend!
