I’d always wondered what it would be like to have a family. I just never expected to find it with five mysterious strangers who have more secrets than I could ever imagine.

Getting a scholarship to Evergreen University and majoring in premed means I need to keep my head down and focus on my studies. But campus is full of distractions…

The football god with his golden retriever charm. The tortured one with his vicious tongue. The broken boy with his determined protectiveness. The merciless billionaire with a penchant for spoiling me. And the genius professor with his brilliant mind.

They make me feel like I belong for the first time since my parents were murdered. And when they touch me, my whole world sparks to flame.

But they have enemies. Those who would give anything to harm what they hold dear. And while they’ll do whatever it takes to keep me safe, sometimes falling in love will put you right in the line of fire…

**Book one in a new paranormal, why choose, reverse harem romance trilogy.**

First off…. I DON’T WANNA WAIT TILL APRIL… Okay, now that is off my chest, what Tessa Hale delivers with Twilight of Embers is just OH MY STARS! What Hayden has been through is emotional enough. Add how things play when she first meets Knox who makes you wanna swoon. Then Easton with his silver tongue. Cáel who has been through so much but loves so fierceless. Then Maddox, who is so protective but has to keep the distance. Finally we have Cillian, that smooth talker who will spoil what is his. But the threats are impending. Especially when truths are exposed. Dragons, fated mates and spice OH MY! I could literally go on and on about this book because I was so wrapped up in it. While some may see it as over the top protectiveness, I see it as protecting what is theirs and what they have been searching for. Their connection is SO intense. Devouring this in one sitting is an understatement. Twilight of Embers swallowed me whole and left me begging for more!

What Happened by the Lake by Vi Keeland

 

Title: What Happens at the Lake

Author: Vi Keeland

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Trope: Grumpy-Sunshine

Release Date: January 15, 2024

BLURB

When life took an unexpected turn, I decided to get out of New York for a while. What better place to go than the idyllic small town my father spoke about so fondly when I was growing up? Laurel Lake held the title America’s Friendliest Town for seventeen years running, and friendly was just what I needed right now.

Unfortunately, friendly wasn’t the welcome I got when I arrived.

Instead, I got Fox Cassidy. My tall, dark, and burly neighbor, who grunted at me instead of saying hello.

Okay, so I might’ve had his mailbox in my hands the first time we met. And it might’ve been a little crushed after removing it from under my tire. And I might’ve needed his help breaking into the place I was staying in after the key broke off in the lock. But still…he didn’t have to be so grumpy.

As time went on though, I started to notice things about Fox other than his glares. Like how he watched me when he thought I wasn’t looking, or how fire ignited in his eyes whenever we bickered. Though I was in Laurel Lake to escape my problems, not create new ones. And getting involved with a man like Fox screamed trouble, even if he was gorgeous and unlike any man I’d ever met.

But alas, problem seemed to be my middle name this year. So why not have some fun while I was here for the summer? It seemed like a good plan. At least until it was time to go home…

They say what happens at the lake, stays at the lake. But it’s not so easy to walk away when what stays behind…is your heart.

This is one of those stories that will inspire you but also break you a little. Everything that Fox has been through. Then the collision course he was set on with Josie. The banter between them is epic. How their push and pull will affect your soul. Seeing both these characters grow as people. Just everything about it made my heart happy. There were moments I wanted to yell at both of them for being silly. But together, oh they were magic. This is one intensely emotional read but also so heartwarming. Seeing both of them face their demons was everything. More so when they faced them together whether they knew that was happening or not.

A Vicious Proposal by Kristy Marie

 

Title: A Vicious Proposal

Series: The Fallen Kings of Eden #1

Author: Kristy Marie

Genres: Contemporary Romantic Suspense

Tropes: Enemies to Lovers/Forced Marriage

Release Date: January 17, 2024

BLURB

I knew him only as Van Gogh.

A tortured artist who owned the night as he moved through the shadows, cloaked in hate and madness.

He was a vicious vigilante—a serial arsonist who thrived on the fear he triggered with a single match between his tattooed knuckles.

We were told to lock our doors and stay inside.

I wanted to. I really did.

But then I saw his eyes, burning like embers as he watched me through the smoke.

And like the flames at his feet, I delighted in his attention.

I became his muse.

His passion.

His obsession.

His perfectly flawed flower.

But that was years ago.

Before my seaside town became his canvas…

Before the ashes of my enemies became his paint…

Before he hated me… and made me his wife.

This story will make you question so much! The whole concept behind it was amazing. Van and Reese just play so well off of each other that you have to laugh at how these two came into each other’s worlds and how their banter is so freaking intense! There are twists and turns that are threaded throughout this story. From the way these two are connected to each other, to what happened to Van to so much more. Reese is a spitfire that will have you wanting to be her bestie with Van being possessive and just that mmm mmm good kinda anti-hero! Looking forward to more within this world!

Excerpt Reveal: What Happens At The Lake by Vi Keeland

 

Title: What Happens at the Lake

Author: Vi Keeland

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Trope: Grumpy-Sunshine

Release Date: January 15, 2024

Take a sneak peek at WHAT HAPPENS AT THE LAKE.

You know you want to...

She smelled like damn summer.

And it pissed me off.

Plus, I was tired from a shitty night’s sleep. I’d tossed and turned thinking about Little Miss Home Improvement wearing nothing but a pair of denim short overalls and work boots—no shirt, no socks, definitely no bra or underwear.

Josie hopped down from the last two steps on the ladder. “Can I ask you something?”

“What?”

“Are you always this grumpy in the morning?”

“I’m not grumpy.”

“No? So this is what? Your idea of a sparkling personality? I asked if your coffee was okay, and you grunted at me.”

“That wasn’t a grunt. That was a yes.”

Josie made a short, deep noise that sounded like a pig.

I arched a brow. “Is that supposed to be me?”

She made the sound again, this time adding some monkeylike arm movements and jumping around. “Gronk.”

“Cute.”

She jumped again. “Gronk. Gronk.”

I tried not to react, but she was just too damn adorable.

Josie pointed at my face. “There it is again. The elusive Mr. Grumpy Pants smile. It’s kind of…dare I say…nice.” She made an exaggerated gasping sound and covered her mouth. “Oh no. I hope it’s not too painful.”

“Alright, wiseass. I get the point. How about you take your oinking ass out front and grab one of the small two by fours I left on the porch? I’ll show you how to make an easy support to hold up the drywall while it gets screwed into the ceiling.”

Josie strutted to the door. The woman was wearing a white tank top and long, pale pink, flowy skirt to do construction. It looked like she was going on a picnic date, rather than hanging sheetrock—though the tank top hugged her in all the right places, and there was something about her collarbone that I couldn’t drag my eyes away from. She bent to pick up the wood out front, and the top of her tank gaped open, giving me a clear view down her shirt. I forced my head in the other direction, though my eyes managed to slant and continue looking.

“Jesus Christ,” I grumbled to myself. “I need to get the fu¢k out of here.”

Excited? We are too!

Cover Reveal: Grim by J.L. Drake

 

Title: Grim

Series: Havoc of Sins #1

Author: J.L. Drake

Genre: Billionaire Dark Romance

Tropes: Enemies to Lovers/Mafia/MC Romance

Cover Design: TRC Designs

Release Date: March 5, 2024

BLURB

Many sins lay in the creases of my hands. Darkness and corruption are part of my life.

After hints from my brother that all is not right with the family business, I leave Mexico and return to Vegas. I have a responsibility to protect what’s ours, no matter the price or who gets in the way. Those who don't fall in line will soon realize why I’m called The Vegas Reaper.

I demand order and obedience, so when I come head-to-head with our beautiful new hire, I’m faced with an unusual challenge, one that infuriates yet intrigues me.

When my hotel goes up in flames, my anger flares along with it. I pull on my cut and join The Devils Reach. The desert ride pays off, but there’s more at play here than I ever imagined, and I’m caught in a chess game of power from an unseen force. Deception, secrets, and chaos threaten my world. Could our new hire hold the key to it all?

___________

Warning: This story is meant to be read in the reading order that can be found in my Amazon bio and website. There is a heavy crossover from my Devil’s Reach Trilogy through the Quiet Mafia Series, and my Dark Water Series, where Grim is first introduced.

This is intended for 18+, violent, may contain trigger warnings, and of course…ends with a cliffhanger.
