BLURB

NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you the continuation of the stand-alone series surrounding five best friends who co-own a tattoo studio. "Are You Ready?” is an age gap, single mom, found family, small-town romance.

Forrest

The moment I met Briar, I couldn't stay away. She's my sister's friend, but that didn’t stop me. Especially after her daughters stole twin pieces of me.

I might have inked her flawless skin, but she’s the one under mine. Something about her draws me in, even when she pushes me away.

Every time we’re together, it feels like I’m home. I want to give her my heart, my time, and my love—not just to her but to her daughters too. I’ll do whatever it takes to prove I’m the man they can depend on.

Briar

I never thought I’d fall in love again, not after everything I’ve been through. Then Forrest walked into my life, turning everything upside down.

He’s tough on the outside—with his tattoos and confidence—but underneath, he’s gentle, patient, and kind—especially with my girls. He shows he cares in small, consistent ways, even letting the twins paint his nails, making them sparkle.

The fact that they adore him scares me, because it’s not just my heart at risk if he leaves. I love him more than I’ve let myself believe. But now, I’m ready to admit it—to him and myself. The next time he asks me, I’ll be ready.

Can I just say that Forrest is SWOON! I lived for him so much and I am so loving how he got his happily ever after. How he wanted to be there for Briar made my heart so happy. Seeing how these two connected and how they built that relationship with not just each other but also how Forrest grew it with the twins! It was so sweet and endearing. Plus that sizzle between these two! I think what really got me was how much patience that Forrest had with Briar, and how much he just wanted to burn the world down for her after finding out her history. I adore this crew and I am so looking forward to the rest of the guys!

Love Harder by Monica James

 

Title: Love Harder

A Memoir

Author: Monica James

Genre: Creative Non-Fiction

Release Date: October 23, 2024

BLURB

        LOVE.

O

V

E

Once upon a time, I looked at love through rose-tinted glasses because love is meant to conquer all, right?

However, was I just a hopeless romantic at heart, chasing the proverbial happily ever after?

Being a romance author, one may think I know what I’m doing when it comes to love. But I hate to spoil the ending for you, dear reader; love and me, we aren’t friends. And we haven’t been for quite some time.

That’s not because I don’t believe in love.

On the contrary.

And that’s the reason we are here…again.

We all have that one person.

For me, he caught me unaware, and that’s when life usually screams KEEP UP!

And most times, we can’t.

If you’ve read Love Hard, then you know how love and I were no longer on speaking terms. But I wrote something which was a sign from the heavens. Or perhaps, hell…

I’ve learned that good men are like unicorns. Everyone talks about them, but no one actually sees them.

How I’m eating my words because I’ve found my unicorn. But does that mean I’ve finally learned my lessons in love? Is your beloved narrator about to get her HEA after all?

Buckle up, bestie, things are about to get wild.

Love hits you when you least expect it…and we are never ready for the fall.

I have been dying to get my hands on this book since Love Hard released. I absolutely adore Monica James and her words, and to have more of this with her emotions and experiences bleeding in the words of this book, just so much more intense. With all that happens within this book and duet as a whole, long live the Unicorn! The way that James has made this book and duet so freaking relatable is by far the most amazing thing. You feel what happens. You remember those experiences till you find your unicorn. I commend James so much for putting her soul out there like she has. Beautiful story. Beautiful duet.

Brutal Husband by Lilith Vincent

 

Title: Brutal Husband

A Dark Stalker Romance

Series: Brutal Hearts #3

Author: Lilith Vincent

Genre: Dark Stalker Romance

Tropes: Marriage in Crisis/Forced Breeding

Release Date: October 2, 2024

BLURB

My jealous, brutal husband is obsessed with me.

Once, Nero was my savior. He protected me, craved me, hungered for me, and I burned for him.

Then one terrible night he disappeared without a trace. For months, I searched for him like a good wife, and I prayed for him to come home.

When he did, the dream marriage he promised me turned into a nightmare.

He stalks me night and day. He hunts me through the streets and watches my every move. Nero won’t tell me where he’s been, and he doesn’t believe me when I swear that I’ve never touched any man but him. My family won’t listen to me when I tell them that something is terribly wrong in my perfect-seeming marriage.

Nero’s love has teeth, and he’s eating me alive.

Author’s note: Brutal Husband is a standalone MF romance with breeding, a virgin heroine and a possessive and obsessed alphahole. There is no cheating or other women. The story is dark, dirty, and delicious, so please read at your discretion.

Dark. Twisty. Spicy. Those are usually the words I associate with Lilith Vincent books. Brutal Husband delivers just that. A possessive and jealous husband and a girl who is thrown into the unexpected. There is intense push and pull between Nero and Rieta. And that is in every department. Honestly, if you have read the previous books in this series, you will know how dark this book will get. If you love Vincent, you are going to live for this one!

Clayton

Being the star player on the Walker Wolves has been everything I was working towards.

That is, until my grades slip, threatening to take it all from me.

I have to do something drastic to keep my dreams alive, so I hire a tutor.

That’s when I met her.

Grace Myers.

She is the complete opposite of me. Shy, innocent, kind.

She’s meant to tutor me on school, so why does it feel like she is schooling me on life?

Grace

I have spent half my life in love with Kellan Cooper, but he has never felt the same.

If friendship is all he can offer, it’s what I’ll take from him.

I thought life was simple.

Until I met him.

Clayton James.

He is everything I’ve always hated. Loud, arrogant, a player.

So why do I find myself unable to stop thinking about him and his lips?

When opposites attract, will they have a fairytale ending or are they destined to crash and burn?

This book was such a breath of fresh air! It was college angsty yet not a massive amount of drama. I loved the connection, wit and banter between Grace and Clayton! It felt very real and easy to relate to as well. Granted university was 25 years ago for me now! But I still enjoyed every moment of it. There were great side characters, especially Peyton. Then there were the boys in the house! Loved each of them. I adored how they all protected Grace too. Overall, this was a sweet, fun and witty read and I am SO looking forward to more from this Wolf pack!
