ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 24, 2023

I knew my best friend’s little sister was off limits, I just couldn’t help myself.

When a tragic accident caused Ford Grimes to trade the fast pace of the city for the refuge that came with being a small-town firefighter, the last thing he wanted was romance. Then he met the seductive manager of the local pizzeria and found himself questioning all the rules he’d put into place for his new life.

Hardin Shields may as well have had a neon sign strapped to her that said do not touch in big, glowing letters. The single mother had enough on her plate. With a family restaurant to run and an ex who was making her life difficult, the last thing she needed was for her unrequited crush on her older brother’s best friend to take a turn into . . . something.

When the chemistry becomes too hot to ignore, they decide to keep things light and fun, but when danger comes lurking, threatening Hardin, Ford has to decide if he’s strong enough to let go of the pain of the past in order to protect the woman who’s coming to mean too much, or let her go.

••••••

REVIEW: Book Four in the Whiskey Dolls has arrived!! For all the JP fans out there, I know the wait has been long, but let me tell you, it was SO worth it!! As always, I recommend reading the series in order, even more so with this series, there is too much goodness to miss if you don’t

This review is going to be short as I don’t want to give away spoilers. Hardin is the stuff. She is a down to earth, take no crap, business woman, single Mom, ready to take the world on for her kiddo. Nothing means more to her than her little girl. Hardin is the owner of the local pizza place, and because of this she has her regulars. One of those regulars just happens to include the hot, fire fighter; Ford.

You can practically taste the chemistry between Ford and Hardin, they flirt back and forth, and yes, I squealed, I admit it. While these two play cat and mouse, without actually playing, it comes to light that Ford is Hardin’s brother’s best friend, and that means anything between them is a no no.

But what is the saying, sometimes you just can’t stop falling in love.

If you’re not ready to ugly cry, don’t start this book. The emotions are real, the pain is real, you will feel so much for these characters. How the lovely JP does it and doesn’t spend thousands in tissues, I truly have no idea. I can’t wait for more!!!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 20, 2023

When she started on the path to her new life, she never could have guessed where it would lead her.

Deva Kent spent most of her life dreaming of escaping. She hated being forced to live among the Fellowship of the Enlightened, the small community closed off from the rest of the world, and was desperate to spread her wings and discover something new. When she applied to be a nanny for a single father and his two-year-old son, the Fellowship wasn’t happy, but she knew that was her fresh start. However, she never thought she’d end up falling for the man with more baggage than he could carry and storm clouds in his eyes.

Laeth Harker’s world fell off its axis the morning a past one-night-stand showed up on his doorstep with a son he knew nothing about in tow. He barely had his own life together and didn’t know the first thing about caring for a child. But after spending most of his life screwing everything up, he was determined to do right by his own flesh and blood. He just didn’t know where to start.

When Laeth hired Deva on as his son’s nanny, she was supposed to make his life easier. But the way he felt about her was the very definition of complicated.

Their feelings might have started off at a slow burn, but once it catches, it’s hot enough to set the world on fire.

••••••

REVIEW: Never has a book title fit a story so well. Slow burn is exactly what Deva and Laeth’s story is. If you can bear through it though, you will not be disappointed. Slow Burn is the seventh installment in the Redemption series by the amazing Jessica Prince, and what a wonderful adventure it was. As always I recommend reading the series in order as you get the most out of it, but it can be read as a standalone.

Deva is desperate to make a change to the life that she hates, her family has them all wrapped up in a cult called the Fellowship of the Enlightened. Deva is ready to branch out of her sheltered, narrow life, and to finally start living the life that she wants.To start her new life she takes a job as a nanny to a little boy. Little did she know that the father that comes with that child would change her life. Laeth doesn’t know what he is doing, but when a son he never knew about needs him, and he doesn’t want to mess up little Cash. The first thing he does is hire a nanny to make his life a little easier. What a choice that was.

Deva and Laeth have one of the best slow burn love stories I have read yet. Deva’s “family” plays a big part in her choice to better her life, but no spoilers. Laeth has a darkness to him that plays really well to the bright that Deva has, and their chemistry is off the charts. Both have a past they are still coming to terms with, but both want a better future. They just didn’t know they needed each other to make their lives whole.

For those readers that love a good grumpy-sunshine romance, this one will be right up your alley. Next to Wallflowers, this book has to be one of my most favorites by JP. Five out of five stars!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 12, 2022

Serenity Ryan was ready for a fresh start. When the chance at a new life came knocking on her door, she was all too happy to answer. She had a new job, a new apartment, and a new outlook on life. She also had a bone deep crush on the last remaining bachelor of Alpha Omega. He was the brooding hero in every love story ever written, and she wanted nothing more than to be the heroine who healed his wounds.

Hunter McCann knew better than most what it felt like to lose what’s most important. He’d lost family to tragedy, his brothers in battle, and the heart of the only woman he’d ever loved. To protect himself from ever having to experience that kind of pain again, he erected walls around his heart. Then a fiery woman with a loud mouth and a wild spirit decided to scale those walls.

Hunter never wanted to love again, but something about Serenity Ryan has grabbed on and refuses to let go. When danger comes to Hope Valley and threatens her safety, Hunter is determined to protect the woman he’s falling for. Because this is one loss he knows he can’t come back from.

•••••

? REVIEW ?: The Hope Valley series has been one of the best, most emotional series I have ever had the pleasure to read. Never For Him is the final installment in this series, and I’m not ready for it to end.

Hunter is the last of the Alpha Omega Team to find his special someone. Only, he’s not looking. Or he thought he wasn’t. Serenity with all her fiery passion and wildness has a way about her that Hunter can’t seem to resist. The walls around his heart he has spent years tending to are all but crumbling when she’s around. He has a traumatic past, one that still haunts him to this day, and one he never wants to experience again.

Serenity is strong, independent , capable and well aware that she doesn’t need a man. But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t want one. The right one. The one to build a life with. After leaving her family business, all Serenity wants is a normal life. A job, friends and happiness.

When Serenity and Hunter are together you can feel the chemistry, the heat and all the tension. There are moments in this that will bring you to tears, and others that will make you wish you could slap a person through a book. All the drama, all the heat, all the emotions. When Hunter finally starts to drop the walls he has spent so long building, you really start to see his heart of gold. But can he truly let go of his past?

I freaking loved this book. The author’s note before the book is a must read!! Hunter and Serenity are made for one another and I just want more. So much more. Knowing that this is the last book in the Hope Valley Series is such a blow. These characters have come to mean so much to so many readers, myself included. All we can do now is hope to see them again, even if it’s in a spin off.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 26, 2022

Never in a million years did I think I’d be jilted on my wedding day.

Around the time Asher Rose was supposed to say “I do”, she was bellied up to a bar full of bikers, three sheets to the wind and feeling sorry for herself. The last person she expected to come to her rescue was Owen Shields.

He was tattooed, broody, and her ex-fiancé’s best friend. The arrogant jerk who was supposed to be the best man at her wedding was never supposed to be her knight in shining armor.

Falling for Owen was never part of the plan, but when the gorgeous town vet throws everything he has her way, including his adorable dog and angelic niece, Asher is in for the fight of her life.

•••••••

REVIEW:  My expectations of fictional men are wholly based on Jessica Prince and her characters. Stunner is the third book in the Whiskey Dolls series and can be read in either series order or as a standalone.

This book is freaking stupendous! Asher and Owen is a story that all readers will want to consume, and not just because of the spicy bits (though there are plenty). When Asher is at an all time low thanks to her non wedding, who comes to her rescue? That’s right, the hot, tatted vet who also happens to be her ex’s best friend and the best man at said wedding. There’s irony in that for sure. -Giggle-

Reading Asher and Owen’s story and how one moment Asher thinks Owen hates her, to the next when he clearly cares for her was so thrilling. There is of course a little drama on both sides, but as any good romance, they make their way through it. It has it all, grumpy giants, tatted vets, swoon worthy romance moments, and so much spice. Always though, the characters are what make the book the most worth it. Way to go JP for another lovely book!

“Hi,” he said, low and gravelly.

I turned on him, making sure to narrow my eyes into slits, determined to gain my anger back after meeting the lovely Hazel, because I’d be damned if I let him get away with the silent treatment he’d been subjecting me to.

It wasn’t easy, especially not with the contrition swimming in those green eyes, but I held firm. “‘Hi’? Seriously? You’ve been ghosting me for three days and that’s how you’re going to start?”

He stepped in closer, his delicious smell making my head all fuzzy. “You look beautiful.”

Oh, he was good. Damn it! Stay strong, Asher! I silently scolded. I blew past the compliment like I hadn’t heard it, even while flutters erupted in my chest.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 6, 2022.

Rule number 1: Never fall for the enemy.

Rule number 2: Never Get involved with a local.

Luna Copeland lives by those rules, which complicates things tremendously when her new boss turns out to be a former one-night stand. As if that isn’t bad enough, he’s also a world-class jerk. But she just can’t make herself stop thinking about their one night together.

When Nate Warren left Whitecap years ago, he was certain he wouldn’t come back. But when his daughter starts acting up and getting into trouble, the small coastal town proves to be the best place for her. With an unruly teen on his hands, the last thing he has time for is romance. Unfortunately, he can’t get his sassy assistant out of his head.

When ignoring their attraction fails, Nate decides he wants all in. He just has to convince Luna she wants the same.

••••••

REVIEW:This is the book for you if you’re having a crummy day. My Perfect Enemy is a sweet taste of perfection with just the right amount of disaster thrown in. Book two in the Whitecap series brings us back to the tiny town and its lovely residents. MPE has all the feels of small time living with big time characters, a contemporary romance with a single dad spin off is just what this reader was looking for.

Luna and Nate met by chance, when neither were looking for something more, and their story is one that you don’t want to miss out on. The pair is blistering hot with sexual chemistry, and they surrender to a single night of sin together, no names, no questions, just pure bliss. So what happens when neither can get the other of their head? Worse; what happens when you think you will never see that person again, only to find out they are moving back to their hometown?

Luna is down in the dumps with her business now failing, so with nothing left to lose and far too much debt, she takes just about any job she can find in order to stay afloat. So what happens when her supposed one night stand turns out to be a family friend and oh the boss of the job she is in desperate need of? That’s right, luck is just not on Luna’s side.

Nate is returning to his hometown of Whitecap with his now teenage daughter in tow, with his divorce finalized he is putting all his time into his troubled daughter. When Nate takes an interview at the behest of his family, he is blown away to find the woman that rocked his world is a Whitecap resident. Not knowing what to do, and being a man, Nate wastes no time acting like a total tweedle dee, insulting Luna at every turn and rejecting her for the job. When Nate’s daughter Evan starts acting out worse than she already is; its Luna that is able to break through to the girl. For that, Nate agrees to give her a job. Little did either of them think it would lead to more.

-Dances happily in library-

Nate, Luna and Evan are freaking awesome! I loved the storyline of a single father, poor Evan, and poor Luna, dealing with what they had to deal with. -No spoilers- I think this is what makes them bond so well towards the last half of the book. They both miss what should have come so natural in that type of relationship. There were moments in this book that I wanted so badly to knock Nate into next week, but there were also a few of those for Luna. She carried so much baggage, as did Nate, but for Luna it was so ingrained in her, I felt for her so much. All Nate wanted to do was love her, to build something real with her, but Luna…well no spoiler..read the book!

I hope to see more of Whitecap, I loved visiting the town and all the characters we have come to love. The book starts out slow, but the burn is so worth the wait!!!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 4, 2022.

There was absolutely no way she was falling for her neighbor. No matter how gorgeous he was.

Aurora Keller thought she’d lucked out when she decided to put down roots in Redemption, Tennessee. She had a new business, new friends, and a picture-perfect little house. There was just one problem, and it came in the form of her six-foot-three tattooed, muscle-bound neighbor from hell, who just so happened to be her best friend’s future brother-in-law. It really wasn’t fair that Satan’s offspring was so nice to look at.

Callum Morrison wasn’t a good man. Or at least that was what he’d convinced himself. After a series of bad decisions that had resulted in the worst years of his life, all he was looking for was peace and quiet. Too bad he bought a house right next door to the one woman he wanted but could never have. That was enough to make any man grumpy.

What had started as a war against two neighbors turned into something so much more.

And if they aren’t careful, the fallout could destroy them both.

••••••

REVIEW:JP just does it for me! Every time I pick up one of her books, I am never let down. Blurred Lines is the sixth book in the Redemption series and continues on with characters we’ve met before.

We’re back to small town living in Tennessee, and back to characters that we love. Rora is one of a kind, probably one of the most unique characters I have ever read. She’s sunshine and soulful, but now her life has a tiny little gray cloud in the form of Callum.

Grumpy Callum, her new next store neighbor. These two butt heads from the very beginning, but it’s so funny and sexy that you can’t help but want to read more and more. Callum has done his time and paid his dues for his past, but for him it’s more, his redemption isn’t in his future. When he buys the busted up farm house, hoping to fix it up and settle in, he’s surprised to find that the one woman he can’t keep out of his head lives in the house next store. The spitfire that haunts his dreams and occupies parts of his heart that he thought was long dead, Aurora.

When Rora decides to help Callum out, she ends up starting to like him more and more. When his family brings their drama to his door, it’s Rora that is up in their face defending him. Poor Callum is falling deeper and deeper into Rora, but doesn’t think he is good enough for her or that he deserves her. Rora makes it her mission to heal Callum, but when his hot and cold vibes get to be too much for her to deal with she has a hard time letting go.

Callum and Rora are hot and cold, flighting and dramatic, but they are so funny at the same time, you can’t help but love reading their story. I love how no matter what Callum does, Rora keeps trying to heal him and make him realize that he is worth love, that he deserves to receive it and give it. Rora is that balm that Callum needs in his life, and Callum is that love that Rora has been searching for. This book really does have it all, twists, turns, drama and spice. Their HEA is one for the books.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 31, 2022

The last thing Stella Ryan had time for was a man. With her family in trouble and looking to her to fix everything, romance and commitment were the furthest things from her mind. Until she ran into a man with a jawline that could cut granite and arms she wanted to lick like an ice cream cone. A man who made her forget the things that really mattered.

West Scott was one of the last bachelors standing. With all his Alpha Omega brothers settling down and popping out a bunch of kids, he had become the target for meddling women looking to fix him up. But there was one woman, in particular, he couldn’t get out of his head. The one in the killer dress with a gift for picking pockets.

When fate puts Stella in his path again, he’s determined to get to the cause of her desperation and help solve all her problems. If only the headstrong, stubborn woman would let him in. She’s trying her hardest to keep her walls up, but he’s dead set on showing her that the best things happen when you least expect it.

••••••

REVIEW: When a new JP book hits my kindle, all I can do is my happy dance. When You Least Expect it is book eleven in the Hope Valley series. The book can be read as a standalone or in series order, the series is amazing and will only make life better if you read it.

When You Least Expect It is a romantic, suspenseful story filled with smiles, love and family. I was a little curious how JP was going to spin a tale of HEA for a con artist and a glorified lawman like West, but as always with her books, it was a great read that I loved.

Stella is under a lot of stress, her family in trouble and like always they expect her to fix it. West is the last of the single men from AO and such a perfect match for Stella. He always stands up for her and her family, and never pushes more than she can handle. Stella is funny, and kind, but she also wears her heart on her sleeve. This leads her to finding more drama than she can deal with sometimes. West is the balm she didn’t know she needed. Over protective, alpha male, but one that wants the best for her and her family. He doesn’t judge her, or let others either, their chemistry is fire and that leads to more than Stella was expecting.

I think that may be the point though, when you least expect love, it’s just around the corner waiting to take a chunk out of you.

-Happy sigh-

Finishing a JP book is bittersweet, when you first pick it up, it’s like opening presents on Christmas morning, but closing that last page is like saying goodbye to the family that came for the holidays. I loved every moment of Stella and West’s story, it was just what I needed. The Hope Valley series is one that I always come back to when I want a feel good read that warms me to the bone. Way to go Jessica Prince!

“Tell me you haven’t been thinking about me,” he insisted, bracing his palms on the wall on either side of my head. “Tell me it wasn’t me you were looking for the moment you stepped in here tonight.”⁣

　”I was casing the place,” I lied. I hadn’t done that until later. The initial scan I’d made when I entered The Tap Room was all for him.⁣

　”Liar.”⁣

　Damn it! How did he know?⁣

　I clenched my teeth and gritted out, “I’m not lying.” If I kept this up, I was going to be struck by lightning.⁣

　”All right. Then tell me you wouldn’t want me to kiss you right now.”⁣

　God, what a presumptive asshole! So why did it suddenly feel like the heat had been cranked up in the building? “I definitely don’t want you to kiss me right now.” Didn’t I?⁣

　Those unique golden eyes glinted with something that looked almost like a dare. “Yeah?”⁣

　I tipped my chin back defiantly. “Absolutely.”⁣

　He smiled full on then, and I felt a clench low in my belly. “Then why are you leaning into me like you want to fuse our bodies together, grift?”⁣

　Why was I what? Oh holy shit! He was right. Without realizing, I’d not only leaned so close the heat was radiating off his skin and warming my own, but I’d also reached up at some point to place my palms on his hard, solid chest. Now that it had been brought to my attention, there was no way to keep from noticing how firm and round his pecs were. The man’s chest felt like it had been carved from marble, and I was dying to know what he looked like without that heather gray Henley on. I wondered if the rest of him would live up to what his chest felt like, and my lady parts were telling me it absolutely would.⁣

　Before I did something incredibly stupid, like drag the tips of my fingers down over his rippled abs so I could count how many were there, I dropped my arms and side-stepped his massive frame.⁣

　Once again, because of this man, I was leaving without everything my family needed from me. I couldn’t help but feel like a failure, and that morphed into an overwhelming feeling of desperation that fueled my anger. “Kiss me. I dare you,” I threatened. “Give me a reason to plant my knee in your balls.”⁣

　His eyes scanned my face then. “I don’t know what I like better. When you’re spouting ridiculous things, or when you’re all worked up and mad like this.”⁣

　I had to get out of here. It was still relatively early; I could find another bar and work that one so this whole night wasn’t a complete bust, but to do that, I had to escape West’s thrall.⁣

　”Too bad for you, you aren’t going to see either of them ever again.” Hitching my purse higher, I gave him a snide look and finished with, “Hope to never see you around, Weston.” Then I turned and started for the exit I’d spotted at the end of the hall, silently praying it would lead me right out into the parking lot.⁣

　The heavy metal door closed on his voice calling out, “It’s West. And something tells me this isn’t the last time we cross paths.”⁣

　

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 September 14, 2021

Some lines are meant to be crossed.

Trent Montgomery knew all about loyalty and responsibility. Tracking down his friend’s long-lost sister and making sure she was safe was just another job, a favor from someone he cared about. He wasn’t supposed to get attached. But when he started to fall for the woman who had been hiding from the world, things got a lot more complicated than he ever expected.

Cheyanne Knightly knew all about living in fear. The life she’d made for her and her daughter was as stable as a house of cards. One stiff breeze could send her whole world crumbling. But when a new guy blew into her small town, stirring up Whitecap’s rumor mill, she found herself drawn to him in a way she never expected.

Lies were told. Secrets were uncovered. Lines were crossed. When the truth finally came out, Trent had to find a way to protect the woman who stole his heart while he tried to earn her trust back

REVIEW:A swoon worthy, heartwarming small town romance!

What a way to start a new series! JP never let’s her readers down. The first book in the newly found town of Whitecap gives readers a major Hope Valley feel. This comes as no surprise as it’s a spinoff of that series. Whitecap is a small seaside town with all the feels of Hope Valley, but with it’s own twist on things.

Our story starts off with Cheyanne (Sawyer) and her Little Bit, Renee aka the cutest kiddo of all time and the life they have built in the scenic seaside town. Chey’s story is one of both fear and strength, from a young age her life and the life of her twin sister Charlotte hasn’t been easy. Filled with the loss of their parents, then the loss of each other, and then for Chey the loss of freedom. Cheyanne breaks away from the psycho control of her garbage can of a husband and forges a new life for her and her daughter. Life was good, normal and content.

Until Trent.

Trent Montgomery is on a mission for his friend, find Dalton’s womens long lost sister. When he finds her in Whitecap he makes his approach and is knocked off his feet. He knows he needs to keep things professional, not only for his job, but for his own peace of mind. Well that plan gets knocked to hell pretty quickly, he soon falls under the spell of not one girl, but two. Chayanne and her tiny daughter Renee. As hard as he tries to pull away, to be “friends” with Chey, the more time he spends with her the harder he finds it to stay away and ignore his feelings. Just as Cheyanne and Trent finally have their moment, the secret Trent has been hiding comes to light. Now Trent must find a way to get Chey to forgive him, win back her trust and keep them safe from the threats that are coming for her.

Oh Oh Oh it’s magic, ya know….lol sorry this lyric was in my head the entire time I read the book. Trent and Chey were so much fun to read. The struggle was real for these two. Cheyanne not wanting to be found by her ex-husband and poor Trent keeping all the secrets, both clearly wanting each other, but too scared to do anything about it. Thankfully JP has a magic mind and knows just what we want. I loved the people from Whitecap and can;t wait to see what stories come from it. Luna is officially on the best book friend list, she is too funny! Whoever ties their wagon to that woman is in for a treat. Visiting with Dalton and some of the people from Hope Valley was awesome too, when Cheyanne and Charlotte reunited, I was freaking sobbing into my kindle! The namesake too! Holy Sprinkles! It was just perfect!

“Monica said the dude was ogling you like you were a three-course meal and he hadn’t eaten in a month.”

“Like I said, she exaggerated.”

Right?

Nope, I silently screamed to myself. I wasn’t going to start questioning it because it didn’t matter. Not at all.

She looked at me, her expression pinched with skepticism. “Was she also exaggerating when she said she thought you’d stroked out for a minute and lost the power of speech when he came up and introduced himself to you?”

I snorted and took a gulp of my margarita, smiling as I admitted, “No, she might have been spot-on with that one.”

Luna’s head fell back on a laugh. “At least you’re willing to own it.”

“It’s not my fault! There isn’t a woman on the planet who could help it,” I exclaimed. “I mean, the dude had dimples, for Christ’s sake. Dimples.”
