ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 25, 2025

Escape to 1830s England when the worlds of a soldier turned duke and Cinderella are about to collide!

A duke

In sudden need of a duchess!

When Lieutenant Hartley returns home, it’s to become—reluctantly, he might add—the new Duke of Fenniston. If he’s to thrive in the ton, he must call on the help of widow Claire Hambledon, sister of the previous duchess, to guide him into society and help him find a wife!

Penniless and with a young son, Claire is well aware that she’s totally unsuitable for a duke. But she’s also completely unable to ignore the ripples of desire every time she’s near dashing Hart… Or the temptation to start a forbidden affair!

••••••

REVIEW:Set in a period where love matches weren’t as common as arranged marriages, this one tries to do both! But with this author it’s never that simple 😉

Becoming the new Duke of Fenniston was never on the cards for Hartley, he’s more than happy fighting the French, but that’s not to be! So he has to take his fight home and find himself a wife! Luckily he can call upon Claire Hambledon to help him become a gentleman in today’s society and if he’s lucky then a wife as well.

Claire is a widow and knows all to well about fitting into society, when called upon to help the next Dike take his place in society she’s not keen at first. But seeing Hart has her thinking all kinds of things! But she knows it can’t happen, so she helps him look for a suitable wife.

Oooh a forbidden affair 😜 we like the sound of that.

I love this authors work. Her attention to detail, her descriptions of both the characters.

I really liked Claire, all she wants is to be loved for herself. She’s a pretty strong character and speaks her mind when needed.

Hart took a little longer to warm up to, he didn’t want the position of Duke, he certainly didn’t want a wife!

As Hart and Claire work together to find him a wife, unwanted feelings get in the way! Can they both ignore how they feel and get on with the task in hand? Or will they give into temptation and have the ending they both deserve?

Another highly recommended read if you like your historical romance with just a little bit of angst.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 25, 2025

Cassie Griffin has always believed she could have it all—a successful career, a loving marriage, and someday, a family. But as she inches closer to becoming senior partner at her law firm, the pressure to start a family with her husband, Daniel, begins to weigh heavily on her shoulders. Daniel is ready to dive into parenthood, while Cassie feels the clock ticking on her dreams of professional success.

When a near-miss accident shakes Cassie to her core, the cracks in her marriage deepen. Torn between her ambitions and the love of her life, Cassie is forced to confront the possibility that achieving one dream may mean losing another.

Set in the bustling heart of Richmond, Virginia, A Collision with Love is a poignant story of the
delicate balance between career and family, and the difficult choices that come with pursuing
your dreams. As Cassie’s world teeters on the brink, she must decide what truly matters—and whether it’s possible to have it all without losing everything.

•••••

REVIEW: Cassie is a big-time lawyer who has been with Wilson & Bates for seven and a half years, her goal is to be senior partner. She is on track to become partner, but her marriage is starting to be affected. In the beginning Daniel accepted it all – he knew he married a brilliant woman, but as time wore on, she could see him struggle with being lonely and of her not being around.

Her goal senior partner – His goal a family. Daniel is a hard-working chef at his own restaurant – and while Cassie has supported all of his dreams, he is starting to feel like she has become so obsessed with becoming senior partner, she has lost track of their dreams.

When all of Cassie’s free time gets eaten up by her work, Daniel starts to wonder if she will ever make time for him and for the family they both want. Will their marriage be able to survive the drive that Cassie has for her job? Will Daniel and Cassie be able to rebuild the strain that has become their marriage?

This was a great read! I always forget how much I love Tricia T. Larochelle’s writing until the first few pages.
What a wild ride. I laughed, cried, was appalled and then laughed again. This story is a wonderful second chance romance.

The characters are well written, and you can definitely see both sides of the marriage. I truly loved every page of this book! Can’t recommend enough!

One of the best book twists I have ever read!

Highly recommend!

In the turbulent landscape of 15th-century Scotland, Alexander of Islay, Lord of the Isles and heir to the earldom of Ross, welcomes King James home after a long captivity in England. Yet behind the façade of royal approval lies a web of treachery. Alexander’s father triumphed at the Battle of Harlaw, securing for his son the title Earl of Ross, but Alexander must navigate a perilous court where loyalty is a fleeting shadow if he is to keep it.

The nobles defeated at Harlaw, threatened by Alexander’s growing power, whisper in the king’s ear, urging him to curb the formidable Lord of the Isles. Once an ally, King James turns against Alexander, imprisoning him in the grim confines of Tantallon Castle. Yet Alexander holds the unwavering loyalty of the Highlanders and Islesmen, who will rise in rebellion for the wrongs done to their beloved lord.

In a life fraught with conflict and trouble, Alexander captures the attentions of three women—each vying for his affection. But only one truly holds his heart. As alliances shift and passions ignite, can Alexander claim his rightful title and the woman he loves while navigating the treachery surrounding him?

••••••

REVIEW:I have to admit I haven’t read the previous books, and I’m almost certain you don’t need to read them to appreciate this one. But after reading this one, I’m definitely going back at some point to read them.

Set in 15th century Scotland, it’s a story that mixes facts with fiction. Intrigue, tension, betrayal and plenty of suspense will have you thinking about this book long after you’ve finished reading it.

The characters were written so well that I had no problem conjuring them up. The attention to detail, the surroundings and all the extra characters are given that extra attention make this book one of my favourites this year.

Alexander is getting ready to welcome the King. But, the king had been held captive for many years and so it’s impacted on many around him including Alexander! Noblemen that don’t like him seek to take advantage and make trouble for Alexander.

It is a love story, and our main character has three to choose from! But do the ladies that seek his favour want him, or the position he holds?

The story unfolds, and we see poor Alexander being imprisoned! And at some point I did wonder if he would remain there!

For those who like historical figures and stories, I’d highly recommend this read.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 23, 2025

I’ve never been the kind of man to give much thought to the future. When I pictured what forever looked like, I didn’t see a picket fence, a wife or a bunch of little rugrats running around. I had the dog, and that was good enough for me.

Or it had been, until a woman with dark, silky hair and sad eyes stumbled into my life and shook everything up.

The shadows that haunted Merritt Bell tugged at something deep inside me, bringing to life a primal instinct to protect that was stronger than anything I experienced before. The second I laid eyes on her, I wanted to slay all her demons. Be the knight in shining armor who could bring a smile to her beautiful face.

But before that could happen, I had to earn her trust.

When a family emergency brings her back to town and directly into the path of her estranged, abusive husband, I don’t hesitate to put myself in the middle, even if it means placing a target on my back that my badge can’t protect me from.

Now she and her nephew are living under my roof, and there isn’t anything I won’t do to keep them safe. I might be one of the good guys, but when it comes to protecting the woman who’s stolen my heart and the boy I’ve grown to adore, I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty.

I finally know what my forever looks like, and there isn’t anything that can stop me from chasing it down and holding on tight.

•••••••

REVIEW:🧡 Back to Second Hope we go! 🧡

I say this is almost every review for a Jessica Prince book, I need more! Chasing Forever is the next installment in the Second Hope Valley series by the ever amazing Jessica Prince. Each book can be read as a standalone, but I strongly recommend reading the series in order. Check your trigger warnings for domestic violence scenes and conversation before reading.

Merritt is finally free from her husband, the one who took nearly a decade from her life, after getting away from him with the help of Blythe and others, she has finally settled into a new life away from Hope Valley. Nothing could bring her back to the place where her husband still is, nothing but her nephew Levi. The one good thing her junkie brother ever did. When she learns that if she doesn’t claim him as his guardian he will be put into foster care, she drops everything and returns to Hope Valley.

Tristan has had Merritt stuck in his head since the moment he laid eyes on her, it’s almost an obsession. Her pale green eyes keep him awake at night. When she leaves HV after the incident with husband, he thinks he will never see her again, but that all changes after his latest case. When he sees her again, that same feeling overtakes him, the need to protect, to care, to do everything he can to make sure she has whatever she needs. This leads him to offering up his house for a place for her and her nephew to stay.

Merritt is normally slow to trust, and even more so that way when it comes to police or officials, but with Tristan, it comes so easy. He is easy going, gentle and has a connection to Levi that makes the little boy light up from the inside out. He wants to take care of her, and while that should frighten her, it doesn;t. It makes her long for more.

Merritt, Tristan and little Levi are a kick in the pants to read, and don’t go forgetting about Doc either. Tris is the best dog dad and I simply love him for it. Merritt slowly starts to find her inner strength with the help of her loved ones and of course Tristan. Merritt, Tristan and Levi come to form their own little family that works so well for them and they all come to get what they need, Love and family. The book progressive well, towards the end we get a bit of the aftermath and poor Levi is struggling, but as life goes, the family steps up and they help him through it. So of course they get their HEA. I could say so much more, but I won’t spoil it for you, trust me and read it for yourself.

Favorite quote: Merritt internal thought “he’s built like a pot roast”. I nearly giggled myself silly with that one!

Born and raised around Houston Texas, Jessica spent most of her life complaining about the heat, humidity, and all around pain in the ass weather. It was only as an adult that she quickly realized the cost of living in Houston made up for not being able to breathe when she stepped outside. That’s why God created central air, after all.

Jessica is the mother of a perfect little boy–she refuses to accept that he inherited her attitude and sarcastic nature no matter what her husband says.

In addition to being a wife and mom, she’s also a wino, a coffee addict, and an avid lover of all types of books–romances still being her all time favs. Her husband likes to claim that reading is her obsession but she just says it’s a passion…there’s a difference. Not that she’d expect a boy to understand.

Jessica has been writing since she was a little girl, but thankfully grew out of drawing her own pictures for her stories before ever publishing her first book. Because an artist she is not.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 27, 2025

One man wants her.The other wants her dead.

When Emma Belmont is invited to attend an exclusive gallery event to represent her newspaper, she sees it as an opportunity to achieve the promotion she’s always dreamed of. She doesn’t realise that a night bound for success will result in total and utter devastation.

A damning newspaper article.A tortured artist who hides his identity.And a British aristocrat who is following her every move.

Her words start a chain of events that she’s powerless to stop.

She doesn’t know who to trust or where to turn.But she knows one thing…The pen is mightier than the sword.Because after reading her article, he wants her dead.And he’ll stop at nothing to make her the next victim on his extensive kill list.

A stalker And a saviour.

A beast And a billionaire.

But which one is which?And will Emma survive long enough to find out the truth?

She shattered his pride, now she must face the fallout…Because the devil is on the prowl.And he wants his pound of flesh.

••••••

REVIEW: If you were expecting a book along the lines of “The Soldiers of Anarchy” or even “The Rebels of Sandland” then you’re going to be disappointed. If you thought our “hero” would be like Damien from “Firethorne” then you’re going to sad.

This my friends is sooooooo much more. Darker than anything I’ve read from this author so far. But so much more.

Please read any triggers that are given. It will have you on the edge of your seat.

Me… I took it out on my day off as I couldn’t put it down!

Emma is a news reporter, well she’s aiming to become one. Getting there is proving harder than she thought! But one night changes not only her chances of becoming that writer, but also her chances of survival!

Then we have our “stalker” he has no moral’s whatsoever! Everyone is fair game.

And lastly we have the “saviour”, but is he really?!

Alex Kingston is 7th Duke of Sunford. But he never uses the title (we find out why.) Gorgeous, tattooed, and extremely wealthy, and a collector of beautiful and thought provoking art work.

Emma, S.K.A.M and Alex all meet at an art exhibition. Emma is blown away by the live performance and writes a great story for the paper….

Alex is entranced by Emma, he wants to know more about her….

But S.K.A.M is enraged! How dare she write such a trashy and scathing article! (Her boss decides to “jazz” it up and write a horrible review, and no matter how much Emma tries to explain via email, the damage is done!)

This book moves at a good pace. Nothing is filler, descriptions are on point. And the spice is just right. The background story about his family given to us by Alex is heartbreaking.

I’d highly recommend this book if you like your book with a twist.

And if you’re routing for the hero…. Keep reading 🤐😜

And the anagram of S.K.A.M ….is revealed at the end, along with a twist I did not see coming!

This book is part of a series by different authors. So I’m not expecting them to follow on from one another. Seven deadly sins written by seven different authors. (I’ve read books by most of the authors in this series)

A highly recommended read from me.

If three’s a crowd, then what’s four?

A happily ever after.

All my life, my parents bounced around hippie communes, dragging me along for the shroom-fueled ride. When they announced we were moving again, I expected more of the same—group cabins, rundown shacks, or flimsy yurts. But Eternal Sun was nothing like the other places. It was a dream come true.

Until that dream plummeted into a nightmare.

When the leader of the luxurious wellness center shared where I fit into his prophecy, I was forced to run away from everything I knew and loved—including my parents. I landed a coveted job at Black Resorts and got my first taste of a normal life.

It was also where I met Cole, Marco, and Freddy.

A hot tech nerd, a mountain of a bodyguard, and a cocky chef who was also my boss. Three very different men who made me feel an intense attraction I’d never experienced before.

But then Eternal Sun stole them from me, too.

Or so I thought.

Because when things went from bad to worse, they were back. Taking care of me. Hovering over me. Annoying the hell out of me.

I tried to keep my distance. When that didn’t work, I ignored them. They didn’t let that happen, either. The longer I spent with the three possessive men, the harder it was to choose. But I had to….

Right?

•••••

REVIEW: It’s over and I am sad! Little Goddess is the third and final installment in the Black Resort series by the ever talented Layla Frost. Each book can be read as a standalone in the series, but I do recommend reading them in order. Triggers warnings early, this is a why choose romance with a bi-awakening, if that isn’t your thing, best not to read. If it is; buckle up Buttercup, it’s a wild ride!

Callie has lived a rough life, escaping a cult and now trying to make her way in Las Vegas, things aren’t going the best. Growing up and having to not only take care of herself but her parents as well didn’t leave her much time to herself, and let’s face it living in a cult isn’t the norm. When she finally has had all she can take, and goes out on her own, she finds herself working for who you guess? That’s right, funny and sweet Freddy, the Chef at the Black Resort kitchen.

Freddy and Callie hit it off right off the bat and their interactions cooking together are sweet and kind and maybe even a little flirty. While Freddy starts to develop feelings for Callie he is also struggling with his feelings for his best friend, and a secret crush he doesn’t dare tell another soul about.

-Que dramatic music-

Cole is one of the few men Maximo trusts (we all remember Daddy Max right, previous book) and Cole takes that seriously. Change is happening and poor Cole is taking hit after hit, he hates being alone, even more so now that he has moved out of the pool house, his internal turmoil over his attraction to Freddy, and then finish it off with his growing attraction to Freddy’s new employee. Poor man is living in his own personal hell. Oh and then Marco, beasty, built like a freight train, Marco. This man is the living personification of built for protection, one look at Callie and he is gone for her.

When it comes to light that all three guys are trying for Callie’s attention; they do what all guys do when it comes to more than one of them wanting the same thing. They compete, well kinda. This doesn’t last long as Callie has feelings for all of them, and Freddy and Cole also have feelings for each other. Drama and chaos ensues but oh what a book it makes.

For writing a why-choose for the first time, Ms. Layla you have knocked our socks off! The Black Resort series varies with its genres but for Little Goddess to produce a Why-Choose with an MM romance as well was such a great way to end the series. Callie, Cole, Freddy and Marco have a dynamic that works so well; Freddy and Cole share this spicy yet soft connection that brings a great add on to their relationship with Callie. And don’t count Marco out now, he may not be into guys, but he IS all about Callie, and I think that works about perfect for their little quad group. Callie grew up without much love, so for her to receive love, attention and protection from these men, it makes my heart just flutter.

There is so much more I could add, but alas, the page only holds so many words. For fans of this author and the Why-Choose genre, get, read it, love it!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 14, 2025

It shouldn’t be that difficult. Show up with divorce papers and make him sign.

Easy, peasy. . .

And it would have been had I prepared myself for how good fifteen years could be to a man or even checked the weather. Both would have told me I was in trouble. Because getting snowed in with my ex, who is now a muscled, bearded mountain man, wasn’t in my plan. Did I mention he runs the local search and rescue, bakes sourdough bread, and has a cow named Moodonna?

Now I’m trapped in his perfect cabin, with his perfect mountain views, and his perfect dog, and he’s refusing to sign the divorce papers. He asks me to give him until the storm passes to prove we’re meant to be, something he won’t have to try hard to do since I’ve always known we are.

It doesn’t matter, though. We can’t be together because my reasons for leaving him all those years ago haven’t changed. I’m still a Broken Rebels MC princess who is promised to the president, and Klutch always gets what he wants, no matter the cost.

I broke Walker’s heart before in order to protect him, and once the skies clear, I have every intention of doing it again. Except this new version of my husband won’t let me go as easily as he did before. While I spent the last fifteen years wallowing in self-pity, he’s been readying himself for my return to make sure I don’t want to leave him again.

Walker thinks he can protect me from a future I’ve spent my whole life trying to avoid. And I really want to believe him, but like I said. . .

Klutch always gets what he wants, no matter the cost. And the cost might just be Walker’s life.

•••••

REVIEW: Mountain man meets biker, what a perfect way to start a new series. Protecting her Secrets is the first book in what I hope to be an extensive series.

Walker and Skyler are high-school sweethearts with a rocky relationship, while they loved each other they were young and life does what it does. Gets in the way. Now over a decade later, Skyler has tracked Walker down to his cabin in the woods to finalize their divorce. A twist of fate in the form of a snow storm lands the pair stranded in Walker’s remote cabin and gives Walker his chance to finally get his say in. All Skyler wants is for him to sign the papers, too bad Walker has other plans for her.

This was so freaking cute! I will forever be a sucker for a second chance romance, add in the smalltown vibe and you have yourself a loyal reader for life. Walker and Skyler have an interesting dynamic, you can tell they both love each other and don’t want to hurt the other, but they both want to protect the other and go about it in the wrong way. No spoilers of course, but I will say I was giddy when I got to the end of this book. Talk about a HEA.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 19, 2025

I’ve crafted my new life in Ember Falls with two simple rules: maintain superficial relationships and always be ready to run.

But when my son’s incredibly hot hockey coach Miles Anderson walks in, things get very, very complicated.

With his charming smile and our accidental dates, he’s the exact opposite of any man I’ve ever dated. That should make saying yes to being with him simple, but nothing in my life is easy.

In fact, it’s a mess.

Miles makes me smile and treats my son like his own. When we’re together, I forget about my troubles and dream of a life that I will never be able to have with him.

It’s only a matter of time until the past comes knocking and I’ll have to leave, breaking us both in the process.

•••••

REVIEW:I really do love a good small town romance! Here and Now is the next installment in the Ember Falls series. As always, I do recommend reading the series in order, book one All Too Well is such a sweet story with characters that are also featured in H&N.

Miles Anderson isn’t your typical nerd, sure he has the glasses and pocket protector, but this man is all kinds of sexy. As principal of the local school, he was borned and raised in Ember Falls, a place he always comes back to. He also is the coach to the little league hockey planners, his nephews team, this leads him to Kai and his mother Penelope. It’s a goofy meet-cute for them, but something keeps drawing him back to her, something about her that he just can’t get out of his head. He brings her coffee just to spend time with her and treats Kai like his own.

Penelope has had it rough. She and her young son make the move to Ember Falls for a new being and to be ready at a moment’s notice to leave again. No friends, no connections, no feelings. Always on the run, always moving, keeping Kai safe no matter what. All her plans go out the window when Miles wedges his way into their lives, and the most scary thing about it? She doesn’t mind him there.

What an adventure! Small-town romances have always been a one click buy for me, but this one is a fantastic read. Shy, single Mom on the run with her young son, meets a hot nerd who wants to take care of them no matter what, all wrapped in a suspenseful mystery sprinkled with spice. Nothing is better than that.
