For nEver by Aurora Rose Reynolds

 

 Release Date: March 14


From New York Times & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Aurora Rose Reynolds comes a brand new romantic comedy about a girl who understands how short life is, and a man who quickly learns there are things way more important than money. 


I had no idea that taking a temp job for the summer would send my life into a tailspin, but that’s exactly what happened when I started working for Jace Ellis.
One day I was his secretary and the next I was sitting on his private plane, wearing an obnoxiously large engagement ring, after he asked me if I would pretend to be his fiancé for one week.
I can admit that greed got the best of me. But the money he offered in exchange for my lie would help not only me, but my mom out tremendously. 
I just had no idea what I was actually getting myself into. 
I didn’t think about the fact that we would be sharing a bed, that we would have to pretend to like each other, and I sure didn’t know that I would be surrounded by his entire family at their annual family reunion. 
But if the guy want’s a fiancé, I’m going to be the best one he’ll ever have. 

I just hope I can remember that this isn’t forever; it’s for never.

I have been intrigued with this story since Reynolds announced it… A book not in the Boom World? What is this sorcery! Well let me tell you, this sorcery will cast a spell on you and leave you breathless. From the concept, the characters and how the story all plays out, I was glued to my tablet as I read this one. You still get the BOOM feeling with this standalone between Penny and Jace. It is a rollercoaster of emotions, a fake fiance moment and so much more! Great read from Reynolds! Highly recommend it!

I have been dying to get my hands on Shadow Bride since the first book. What we get is such an intense story with so many secrets and twists exposed from what Willow Creek pack created. It is high octane right from the start with Adri and Phoenix. Especially with the ending of the first book. Seeing Phoenix fight for Adri is everything.

Toe the Line by Penelope Ward

 




Title: Toe the Line
Author: Penelope Ward
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Trope: Friends-to-Lovers
Release Date: February 27, 2023


BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a friends-to-lovers story spanning more than a decade…

At first, I thought I’d hate spending the summer with Archie Remington—the conceited son of my parents’ friends.
What I knew about Archie: he was gorgeous, pre-law, and had always treated me like I didn’t exist when we were younger.
When our families bought a house together on an island in Maine, he and I were forced to share a bathroom.
The boy I remembered was now a full-grown man—but with the same attitude.
After a rough start, Archie and I unexpectedly started getting along one day and eventually became friends. We shared secrets and bonded during our morning jogs. I discovered that Archie had a wild spirit and that he struggled to conform to his father’s expectations.
Things were cool until I had to go and ruin it, getting drunk one night, and blurting out my fantasy—involving him.
I took it back, but it was too late. Archie had heard me loud and clear. After that, we never quite knew how to toe the line.
When that summer came to an abrupt and shocking end, I headed back to college, unsure if anything would ever be the same again.
Across the miles over the years, he and I stayed in touch as friends, but fate and timing always kept us from becoming more.
You know the saying: If two people are meant to be, they’ll find their way back to each other?
Let’s just say Archie came back into my life in a way I would’ve never expected.
And this time, my heart would really be put to the test.

With a great blend of the past and present, we delve into everything that is Archie and Noelle. Seeing how their friendship grew to how it imploded and then crossing paths at times. This story will tug at your heartstrings as these two try and navigate life and a possibility with each other. This story comes with passion, angst and so much more. It will have you completely captivated at times. I wanted to laugh and cry but I do know I felt the characters raw emotions at times. Another great read from Ward!

About To Save a Mate

Welcome back to Redwood University, where a power-hungry shifter wants to rule them all; and those strong enough to stand up to him must fight.

I tried to flee Redwood University, but when my father was kidnapped by a ruthless alpha, I was forced to submit. With a broken heart and wounded pride, I reluctantly followed his demands–if only to keep my father alive.

There's danger lurking around every corner, and since Alexei crushed my heart in his fist, I sought an alliance with the vampires, fae, and witches instead.

Alexei is furious, jealous, and possessive. But despite everything, I still ache for him.

But the future alpha made his choice. No matter what he says, I can't wait for a mate that won't stand by my side. I just wish my heart would get with the program.

Because there's an unknown power simmering in my veins, and a mystery I'm on the verge of cracking. I don't know what the future holds, but I do know that Alpha Jones will do anything to gain more control, and that's one thing I can never allow to happen.

So, if Alexei won't save me from his father, then I'lll save myself.

*To Save a Mate is the second book in the Redwood University Trilogy. It cannot be read as a standalone and ends in a cliffhanger. If possessive heroes, who occasionally turn into wolves, and sassy, headstrong heroines are your jam, you've come to the right place. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the continuation of this exciting paranormal story.


Oh those fated stars! Where to start with the second installment of the Redwood University. Can I just say I CANNOT WAIT for the final book. I have so many questions! But with that said, there is a lot to unpack that happens within this book. The raw emotions and pain that not just Nicole but Alexei are enduring is so heartbreaking. With how the first book ended, I was not sure how Alexei was going to redeem himself but oh did he ever. My heart hurts for these two as they just fight to exist with his jerk of a father in the way. Let’s not forget Mara. She just keeps twisting things up. But seeing how things play out, some answers were exposed but not all so it left me wanting. The twists and turns that are within this book too. The depth and complexity blew me away. 

I can honestly say it is hard to write this review without screaming from the rooftops about how amazing this story is and how much you just want to binge them at once. I have so many things I want to know and I cannot wait to get the third book to see how it all plays out. And that ending? WOW… kept me on my toes so much. This book gives you a gamut of emotions from feeling the pain of Alexei and Nicole, to everything Corbin is enduring to help them out. Sparkle on! IYKYK!

  Blurb:   This nanny makes things hard for her boss.   Chase Marshall is many things:​An attentive single dad Jaw-droppingly gorgeous​My employer for the next thirty days   He’s also the bane of my existence. He swears I’m a never-ending headache—the most infuriating woman he’s ever met. If I’m so irritating, then what’s up with the lingering looks when he thinks I’m not watching? The seemingly innocent touches while making breakfast? The smirk that graces his kissable lips after one of our verbal spars after his daughter has gone to bed? One minute he’s coming to my rescue. The next second he’s complaining about how I fold his work shirts. Fine. Fold them yourself. It turns out that the only time I don’t get under Chase’s skin is when I’m under him. And that’s where things get complicated. From USA Today Bestselling author Adriana Locke comes a grumpy, blue-collar single dad that falls hard for his new nanny. This small-town romance is a standalone novel with tons of heat and even more heart. 


Review By Lisa

I am a sucker for a single-dad read and More Than I Could fave me every single thing I love about them.
Chase is all the swoon. I fell in love with him from the start. He may come off as grumpy at first but he is just a big softy underneath.
Megan is just the kind of girl I want to be friends with. Sweet, sassy and not afraid to say what she thinks.
I could not get enough of the back and forth between these two. I loved every second of this one. I know it is a stand-alone but I so hope to get more from Peachwood Falls!
    

          

  EXCERPT   As soon as we’re alone, the air shifts. Shadows dance across the tabletop. Megan’s jasmine perfume scents the air, and my body temperature rises. I struggle to remember our conversation yesterday. I remind myself that my child—the same one that occupied the seat next to me a minute ago—is my priority. Over and over, I replay all the reasons why I can’t afford to get off track. Why I can’t touch Megan Kramer. My muscles tighten in my stomach and across the back of my neck as I lift my gaze from the tabletop to her. She grins. It’s simple, but when coupled with the heat in her eyes, there’s nothing sweet about it. “That was fun.” I hold her gaze, unable to look away. This is the first day, Chase. Twenty-nine more to go. Don’t blow it already. I smirk and push away from the table. I need to put some distance between us before things get really fun.

Bad Boy's Downfall by Gina Azzi

 

 Release Date: March 2

Word on the ice: the only thing worse than knocking up your teammate’s sister is knocking up his daughter.

 

I have no business tangling up with Lola Daire. She’s a smart, idealistic, college senior planning to take on Silicon Valley.  I’m an angry NHL player with a chip on my shoulder.

 

She smiles rainbows; I spit fire. She’s a daddy’s girl; I’m the last guy her father wants her to date.

 

A man with my past and demons will only corrupt a good woman. I know better than to give in to her playful flirting, but when Lola finds herself in a compromising situation, I break the rules to keep her safe.

 

We have nothing in common, save for the attraction we feel. We have no future, except for the moments that stretch between us. But our desire is insatiable. Our chemistry, off-the-charts.

 

One night turns into more and our casual understanding takes an unexpected turn.

 

I may be the cliché bad boy, but my downfall is the good girl with a baby on the way.

Grab Your Copy Here!



Gah I love a fun story like this. I loved that River and Lola built a friendship off their attraction which led to more. They have such a beautiful connection even though they struggle with trust issues from their history. The fact that her dad is who he is, just added a great level of depth and complexity to their relationship. This is a sweet and spicy story of the naughty boy and the quiet girl and I loved it from start to finish.
