Maggie

One wild night to lose myself… instead, I accidentally found myself a baby daddy.

After my ex spent years tearing me down, convincing me I wasn’t enough, the idea of trusting anyone feels impossible. But Lachlan comes into my life and almost makes me believe I’m worth it… and that he’s worth the risk.

He’s so patient and steady, showing up at my door for midnight cravings and morning sickness. Determined to be a part of our child’s life, even if we’re not together.

I’m so tired of being alone, and having someone feels too good to be true.

So when he asks "can we try?" I want to say yes and believe him.

Lachlan

From the first moment I met Maggie, I knew she was one of the good ones.

But it wasn’t until I heard the life-altering news that she was carrying my baby, that I knew I’d support her no matter if we were “together” or not.

I’m all in—for her and the baby. But somewhere along the way, it stopped being about doing the right thing.

I don’t just want to be a part of my child’s life. I want to be part of hers. Not just for nine months. Or eighteen years. I want forever.

And I’ll do whatever it takes to prove that I’m man enough to be what she needs. For both of them.

GAH! This story! It literally had me in a hold and I could not get enough. Surprise baby? Heck ya! The connection between Maggie and Lachlan is beautiful. Even though Maggie has been so burnt in the past, I love how she sees something in Lachlan and they give it a shot. I adored watching him win her over and prove to her that they are worth the chance. It is swoon worthy perfection that I live for from the author and I am heartbroken this series is over!

Chloe Chastaine

Genre: Fantasy Romance

Tropes: Non-shifter Omegaverse/Touch Her & Die

Release Date: March 12, 2025

BLURB

Our hearts are fated, but love is a fiery path.

Enemies and friends alike have tried to burn our love to cinders, but through the smoke and ash, the Flame King and I have always found our way back to one another.

When Zabriel places a crown upon my head, his blood and his scent sing of his love for me. All of Maledin celebrates my coronation with the most spectacular Dragon Games the country has ever seen.

But the celebrations are laced with calamity as riders from the wild flare demand to participate, and evil finds its way within the sturdy castle walls.

Maledin’s darkest hour upon us. Fate is not enough to save us, and we will endure the fiery blade of battle only if our love burns true.

Author’s note: The Flame King’s Queen is a slow-burn non-shifter omegaverse MF romance set in a fantasy world of magic and dragonriders. Zabriel is a jealous and possessive hero, and Isavelle is a strong but sweet heroine. This is the final book for Isavelle and Zabriel in the Fire and Desire series.

I have been DYING to get my hands on this book to find out how things all played out and let me tell you, I was not disappointed. I was gripping my ereader from start to finish as I read this one. I loved seeing it all play out between Zabriel and Isavella and how things settled between them and the whole plot line that has been going since the start. This book was a great culmination of the whole series between these two as well. We got answers but also got the grit and passion from the previous books too! Great time to binge these books!

The Drummer's Heart by Penelope Ward

 

Title: The Drummer's Heart

Author: Penelope Ward

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Rockstar Hero/"My Wife"/Small Town

Close Proximity/Slow Burn/One Bed

Release Date: February 23, 2025

BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE novel…

Don’t say her name.

That was the one rule my bandmates followed, because they knew how much it messed me up to think about her, especially on tour.

My ex, Nicole.

The one who got away and the woman who still owned every piece of my heart.

After our divorce, I threw myself into the rock scene, trying to forget my heartbreak.

Three years after we split, a phone call from Nicole changed everything.

She told me her grandmother wasn’t doing well.

Mimi was still family to me, and she apparently had one wish before dying: to spend time with us—Nicole and me.

With Mimi’s caretaker away on vacation, it would be the ideal time for us to move in with her for a couple of weeks.

Of course, I couldn’t refuse.

But there was a catch.

Nicole apparently never told her that we’d gotten a divorce.

She hadn’t believed Mimi could handle it, because her grandmother loved me so much.

So, not only would I have to see Nicole again, but I’d be pretending to still be her husband.

Two weeks in a tiny house in a small town with the woman who broke my heart. Or was it me who broke hers?

It was complicated.

And it was about to be a heck of a lot more complicated sharing one bed in the guest room with a woman who wasn’t mine anymore.

I love a good second chance romance. Ward knows how to deliver them too. While I am not a huge rockstar reader, I love how Ward intertwines it all together seamlessly. I found I was wrapped up in Nicole and Atticus as they were thrown together to help her grandma. You could feel the emotions and the chemistry bleed between these two which made the banter that much more enjoyable! Great read!
