ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 7, 2023

Palmer Sinclair has never needed anyone’s help. A successful loan officer, she’s all work and no play. But when splitting headaches and blurred vision begin to affect her job, she begrudgingly sees a doctor and receives a diagnosis that leaves her shaken to her core and with little time left. Facing an uncertain future, Palmer makes a bucket list, determined to do the things she’d only dreamed of before she goes.

Kent Wagner has dedicated his life to helping others. An army medic turned paramedic, he’s a regular at Palmer’s bank who makes his monthly car loan payments in person just to see her radiant smile. After responding to not one but two 911 calls involving Palmer, he learns about her bucket list. Touched by her circumstances—and needing a distraction from his own—Kent offers to take Palmer to the places on her list.

Neither is prepared for the emotional journey ahead…or how little time they have left together, but the friendship they find in that brief time might be the most lasting legacy of all.

••••

REVIEW: BEFORE I’M GONE by Heidi McLaughlin is a contemporary, adult, story of love and loss focusing on thirty-seven year old, bank manager Palmer Sinclair, and EMT Kent Wagner.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from omniscient dual third person perspectives (Palmer and Kent) BEFORE I’M GONE follows thirty-seven year old Palmer Sinclair as she endeavors to complete a bucket list of things before she dies. For weeks Palmer had been suffering with debilitating headaches and migraines but a diagnosis would prove she didn’t have much time to live. With the help and love of EMT Kent Wagner, a man suffering in the wake of heart breaking betrayal, Palmer and Kent would set off one final adventure, an adventure that would end all too soon.

BEFORE I’M GONE is an emotional, heart breaking and raw story line of pain and suffering, tragedy and loss, acceptance and love. Palmer Sinclair knew her time was limited but want to experience as much as she could, in a small amount of time. The character driven premise is honest and edgy; the romance is tender and fated; the characters are broken but moving forward. There is NO happily ever after but Kent is living his own life and dream with someone else.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 10, 2021

Autumn LaRosa has been playing defense since the moment she met Julius Cunningham. After accepting a position as a meteorologist in Portland, she strives to make a good first impression. Then she meets the arrogant wide receiver who belittles her in front of her new friends. She could have walked off the sting of his bitter words, but he keeps showing up in her social circle.

Now, she is determined to meet him at the line of scrimmage and prove she’s not one to back down.

Julius Cunningham is well aware there’s a flag on the play after his harsh words to Autumn. The more he sees of Portland’s new weather girl, the clearer it becomes his judgments of her were unfounded.

But how can he call a timeout on the animosity he created?

When Autumn attends a charity event with the Pioneer players, she sees an opportunity too tempting to resist. Julius looks miserable being a part of the date auction, making it even more fun for Autumn to bid. Will she use the opportunity for some good old-fashioned payback? Or will this be their fresh start at the twenty-yard line?

Get ready for the snap and sprint for the end zone because Autumn and Julius are headed for either a tackle or a touchdown!

••••••••

REVIEW:  FOURTH DOWN is the first instalment in Heidi McLaughlin’s contemporary, adult PORTLAND PIONEERS romance series-a spin off /companion to the author’s BEAUMONT and BEAUMONT: NEXT GENERATIONS series. This is meteorologist Autumn LaRosa, and Portland Pioneers’ wide receiver Julius Cunningham’s story line. FOURTH DOWN can be read as a stand alone. You do not have to have read either of the previous two series to follow. Several of the characters cross over for cohesion and familiarty.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Autumn and Julius) FOURTH DOWN follows the building romance and relationship between meteorologist Autumn LaRosa, and Portland Pioneers’ wide receiver Julius Cunningham. Autumn LaRosa believes she has finally found a direction in life, accepting a position in Portland as the evening news meteorologist but reconnecting with Peyton Westbury, a former college sorority sister, places Autumn in the direct line of fire when Portland Pioneer’s wide receiver Julius Cunningham takes an immediate dislike and hate-on for our story line heroine. As a friend and teammate of Noah Westbury, Julius struggles with Peyton’s immediate friendship with Autumn LaRosa, a friendship he believes to be orchestrated by our story line heroine. Julius Cunningham is in the process of a divorce, and struggles with his attraction to Portland’s newest ‘weather girl’, and in this directs all of his anger at our story line heroine. What ensues is the building but contemptuous relationship between Julius and Autumn, and the potential fall-out as Julius’ past demands everything and more.

Julius Cunningham is heading for divorce in the wake of his wife’s affair but Julius refuses to give into Elena’s demands, demands that will force his children to choose sides. Meeting Autumn stirs something deep within our story line hero but from the outset Julius struggles with his attraction to a woman he fears could break his heart. Autumn LaRosa has no idea why Julius Cunningham despises the ground upon which she walks. With little knowledge about Julius and his life back home, Autumn will get caught up in the drama of his impending divorce, drama that threatens her relationship with the man with whom she is falling in love.

The relationship between Julius and Autumn begins acrimoniously as Julius refuses to accept Autumn as anything more than a star-crossed, gold digger. There is no reason for Julius to presume such a threat but his anger towards his wife is now direct at the woman with whom he will fall in love. As their relationship builds, Julius quickly discovers that everything he thought about Autumn is built upon his own anxiety and fears. The $ex scenes are all implied and fade to black.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters including Julius’ children Reggie and Roxy, his soon to be ex-wife Elena, and his parents Susan and Roger; Julius’ teammates Alex Moore, and Chase Montgomery, station owner Leon Woolworth, and Autumn’s ex Camden Porter.
We are reintroduced to Noah and Peyton Westbury (Beaumont: Next Generation), and Petyon’s sister Elle; Liam Page, Harrison and JD, as well as Quinn James and Nola, and several more characters from the previous series.

FOURTH DOWN is a story of family and betrayal, forgiveness and love. The character driven premise is emotional and real; the romance is seductive and tender; the characters are animated and edgy. FOURTH DOWN is a welcome addition to the Beaumont Family of stories and books.

ABOUT THE BOOK: RElease Date August 11, 2020

Tee up for the long drive, it’s golf season!

After winning the U.S. Open, Greyson Jennings couldn’t help but take playful jabs at the expense of his prime competition, Bryan Nelson. His snarky claims during the press junction may have burned off like fog on the green, if a week later they hadn’t found themselves at the same golf resort.

Hungry for a little payback, Bryan challenges Greyson to a grudge match: Grey and his best friend versus Bryan and his sister, Leah. Turns out, Leah is a ringer with a swing—and curves—that turn Grey’s thoughts to a hole in one of another kind.

Unfortunately, Leah’s opinion of him has been formed by the many stories Bryan has shared. That may hurt this golfer’s handicap, but he’s nowhere near ready to give up. It’s game on as Leah agrees to meet Grey on the green and go head to head with the hole as the goal.

Can Greyson prove there’s more to him than an impressive club and a carefully crafted bad boy persona? Or will the sting of Leah’s rejection leave him in need of some alone time and a good ball washer?

•••••••••••••

REVIEW:A DATE TO PLAY FORE is the sixth instalment in the contemporary, adult, erotic, romance DATING SERIES co-authored by Heidi McLaughlin and LP Dover. This is twenty-eight year old registered nurse Leah Nelson, and thirty year old, professional golfer Greyson Jennings’ story line. All of the Dating Series instalment are stand alone story lines.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Leah and Greyson) A DATE TO PLAY FORE follows the enemies to lovers relationship between twenty-eight year old registered nurse Leah Nelson, and thirty year old, professional golfer Greyson Jennings. Greyson Jennings and Bryan Nelson are competitors both on and off the golf course but their love-hate relationship becomes entangled while on vacation when Greyson finds himself face to face with Bryan’s sister, the woman who stirs something deep within our story line hero. A bet, a trip to Vegas, and a pretend wedding ceremony find our couple professing their love to one another but family back home refuses to accepts Greyson’s motives for anything but pay back and revenge. What ensues is the quick building romance and relationship between Greyson and Leah, and the potential fall-out as sins from the past come back to haunt Greyson Jennings.

A DATE TO PLAY FORE is a fun and fast paced story of unrequited love. Greyson has loved Leah Nelson from afar for as long as he can remember but her brother’s hatred for, and competitive nature towards Greyson Jennings may be too big of a hurdle for our couple to jump. The premise is lively and captivating; the characters are flirty and energetic; the romance is tender and passionate.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 21, 2020

For Brielle Armstrong the pomp and circumstance of the days leading up to the Kentucky Derby are truly the most thrilling time of the year. Press junkets, designer gowns, everyone schmoozing her in hopes of getting in her daddy’s good graces. What’s not to love?

But this year, her heart is racing with anticipation to see Colby Hensley. As a former trainer of her family’s champion horses, his rugged sex appeal has always filled Brielle’s mind with naughty thoughts of a little barebacked fun.

Even though Colby walked away from their farm, her father Butch, would never approve of him. But what daddy doesn’t know can’t hurt him. If their secret comes out, it could cost Brielle everything. Still, what fun is life if you don’t ride it at a gallop?

Grab your riding crop, and place your bets. It’s Derby Day!

•••••••••

REVIEW:A DATE FOR THE DERBY co-authored by Heidi McLaughlin and LP Dover is a contemporary, adult, erotic novella, and the fifth stand alone story in their DATING series. This is horse trainer Colby Hensley, and Heiress Brielle Armstrong’s story line. Like the previous instalments A DATE FOR THE DERBY is a complete stand alone. You do not have to have read any of the other stories to follow along.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Colby and Brielle) A DATE FOR THE DERBY is a second chance romance between horse trainer Colby Hensley, and heiress Brielle Armstrong. Colby Hensley is in love with Brielle Armstrong but a few years earlier, while working and training horse at the Armstrong stables, Colby discovered that his boss and Brielle Armstrong’s father went behind his back on a deal for a horse. Disappointed and furious Colby called out his former employer and in doing so found himself looking for another job. Having walked away from the Armstrong stables meant walking away from the woman he loved but with the approach of the Kentucky Derby, Colby knew he would have to face Brielle Armstrong, and the hatred she continues to direct at our story line hero. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Brielle and Colby, and the potential fall-out when the truth is revealed, and Brielle is forced to choose between her father, and the man that she loves.

A DATE FOR THE DERBY is a fast paced, quick read that focuses on family, second chances, betrayal, misunderstanding and love. The premise is energetic, captivating and engaging; the characters are colorful and dynamic; the romance is sexy, sweet and steamy. Colby Hensley risked everything for what he believed was right, and in doing so lost his family, his friendships and the woman he loved. Once the truth is finally revealed, Colby discovers that the losses are temporary but the love is forever.

••••••••

REVIEW: A DATE FOR THE HUNT is the latest novella in the contemporary, adult, romance DATING SERIES co-authored by Heidi McLaughlin and LP Dover. This is fire fighter Hudson Bryant, and pharmacist Allison Wood’s story line. A DATE FOR THE HUNT is a complete stand alone. You do not have to have read any of the previous instalments in the series.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Allison and Hudson ) A DATE FOR THE HUNT focuses on an Easter themed reality show wherein the competitors are flown to Aruba where they will hunt for an egg, and their potential future. Allison Wood’s sister is one of the show’s producers and single Allison is the perfect foil for her sister’s plans but Allison never expected to come face to face with her high school bully, a man who no longer remembers what happened or why. Enter fire fighter Hudson Bryant. What ensues is the quick building romance and relationship between Hudson and Allison, and the potential fall out when their time together comes to an end.

A DATE FOR THE HUNT is a story of forgiveness and revelations; acceptance and understanding; romance and love. The fast paced, character driven premise is real and romantic-this is my favorite story line so far; the characters are flirty and fun; the romance is fated and passionate. A DATE FOR THE HUNT is the perfect read for a lazy sunny afternoon.

Kiss the Blarney Stone, Hope Dunn is going to need some good ole fashion Irish luck! In the chaos of tax season the Arizona accountant is pulled away to stand in her cousin’s wedding. All it takes is one step back in the Big Apple, and she regrets making the trip. True to character, her mother uses their time together to hound Hope about getting married and settling down.

Still, Hope fulfills her bridesmaid obligations by joining the bridal party for a shamrock wearing, pint chugging St. Paddy’s day blow out. There she runs into best man—and smokin’ hot ginger—Kellan Townsend. Far too much green beer later, she finds out exactly what that fine Irish lad keeps under his kilt.

Afterwards, Hope wants nothing more than to walk of shame her way into a dark room and nurse her hangover. Unfortunately, wedding demands won’t allow it. As if facing Kellan isn’t awkward enough, her mother picks that moment to launch into a fresh guilt-trip over her lack of grandbabies. Like a lucky little Leprechaun, Kellan cuts in with a magical offer.

A pretend romance to get her mother off her back seems like a wish granted. But Kellan has an agenda all his own. Can he use this opportunity to jig his way straight into Hope’s heart? Or will he need a four-leaf clover to get past this workaholic’s defenses?

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 28, 2020

It’s New Year’s Eve and Natalie has a rare night off from her shifts at the hospital. Determined to have fun with friends, she stops at a local store for provisions. 

There, amongst the craft beer and pork rinds, she comes face to face with her high school boyfriend, Brennan McLean. He’s a rockstar. She’s a nurse. To say life led them in different directions would be putting it mildly. Still, time hasn’t lessened the electric chemistry between them.

REVIEW:A DATE FOR MIDNIGHT is the first instalment in the contemporary, adult DATING erotic, romance novella series co-authored by Heidi McLaughlin and LP Dover. This is emergency room nurse Natalie O’Brien, and rock star Brennan McLean’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Natalie and Brennan) A DATE FOR MIDNIGHT follows West Coast rock star Brennan McLean as he is stranded in Boston for the New Year. A last minute party invite finds Brennan face to face with his high school sweet heart Natalie O’Brien, an ER nurse who is currently struggling with a direction in life. What ensues is the rebuilding romance between Natalie and Brennan, and the potential fall-out when Brennan’s time in Boston comes to a close.

Natalie O’Brien’s life fell apart one year earlier when she discovered her husband of two years having an affair. Fast forward to present day wherein all of Natalie’s friends are desperate for her to find her happily ever after but Natalie never expected to find Brennan McLean back in her hometown. A few days together, rekindling their relationship ends when Brennan must return to California, a return that results in potential betrayal to the woman with whom he is falling in love.

The relationship between Brennan and Natalie is one of second chances; a rekindling romance wherein Natalie falls for Brennan all over again, but gets her heart destroyed in the process. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

A DATE FOR MIDNIGHT is a quick read that covers a few days in the life of our leading couple; an erotic story of fun, friendship, celebration and love. The premise is captivating; the romance is seductive; the characters are colorful and energetic. A DATE FOR MIDNIGHT is perfect for a lazy afternoon
