ABOUT THE BOOK : Release Date October 17, 2025

My biggest rival is the father of my child. He just doesn’t know it yet.

Sleeping with my family’s enemy wasn’t planned. Oops. Too late.

It was a one-night stand in Costa Rica, and names were the last thing we wanted to exchange. What can I say? The man was hot as sin.

Blue-sky eyes.Broad, athletic shoulders.A smile that just about did me in.

I came home with more than his cowboy hat as a souvenir.Four years later, that sweet memento calls me Mommy.

I’m a busy single mom helping to run the Dover empire. The last thing I need is a vacation fling showing up wearing the one name on the back of his baseball jersey that’s forbidden by my family. Greene.

Annoyingly arrogant.Infuriatingly irritating.A smirk on his stupidly handsome face. Just my luck when I need to break the news, he’s my son’s father.

He came to play baseball, not be a dad, so I have no intention of getting me and our son caught up in his game. But even the strongest walls have faults, and when we start spending time together, mine begin to crumble.

Is the universe giving us a second chance or are we caught up in a small-town frenzy?

Small Town Frenzy is a spicy, sports, rivals to lovers, surprise child, cowboy, small town romance where he falls first and hard. This hometown hero book is a complete stand-alone.

REVIEW: “Small Town Frenzy” is a blend of sports, romance, and the small-town life that keeps us on the edge of their seats. S.L. Scott writes an engaging story that draws you into the whirlwind of emotions experienced by its heroine, who finds herself at the intersection of love, rivalry, and motherhood.

The story is based around a one-night stand in Costa Rica that leads to a surprise child.

Cricket, a busy single mom, faces the challenges of raising her son while running the family business. The surprise twist of her son’s father, (her once hot and enigmatic fling) returning as a rival player adds tension and excitement to the storyline.

The dynamic between them is electric, filled with unresolved feelings, witty banter, and sizzling chemistry. The essence of small-town life, where everyone knows each other, and past grievances linger just beneath the surface is done really well.

Cricket’s struggle to keep her son away from the man who could disrupt their lives makes this an interesting read. The walls she built to protect her heart are tested throughout the book, leading to emotional moments that are both heartwarming and heart wrenching!

Why is Griffin back? He was doing well as a baseball player ? (Keep reading 😉) And what’s a guy to do or say when presented with a face from his past and a small reminder of what they did?!

The pacing is well balanced, with enough humor and spice that kept me reading way past my bedtime 😉 The author’s vivid descriptions transport you right into the small town and onto the baseball field, making you feel the tension and excitement of every encounter between the main characters. I loved how Cricket loved her son, he was the center of her world.

The author delivers a fulfilling and spicy romance that combines elements of sports and family drama in a small-town setting. The playful rivalry mixed with heartfelt moments makes it a delightful read. If you’re a fan of rivals-to-lovers tales, surprise children, and strong characters, this standalone novel is sure to tick all the boxes.

This is the third (and I believe) and final book in this trilogy. No need to read books 1 & 2 before this one. But I did (and loved them both) and although sad to leave this small town, I’m going to carry Griffin and Cricket around with me for a while 💜

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 1, 2025

It didn’t take long for news to spread that Tagger Grange was back in Peachtree Pass. I found out even faster when I fell right into his arms—not by choice.

The barstool wobbled under me when reaching for a cheddar biscuit. They’re my weakness. Much like he used to be.

Rolled up sleeves and tailored pants have replaced the boots and jeans my brother’s best friend once wore. But it’s not just the clothes that have changed. His shoulders are broader and he’s broodier. Somehow, he’s even more handsome than ever.

And seeing the little boy smiling at his side? My heart instantly melts. I can’t handle Tagger as a hot single dad.

Since he has no plans to stay, I know it’s best to avoid him. But daily run-ins at Rollingwood Ranch make him hard to ignore, and even harder to walk away.

His heated glances warm my insides, his smile awakens my dormant heart, and one stormy night leads to crossing lines we vowed we wouldn’t.

But when falling in the hay turns into falling in love, I start to wonder if our happy ending is a long time coming. Or will he return to the city leaving me with a broken heart?

REVIEW:

“Long Time Coming” by SL Scott is a tale that combines the elements of small town charm, forbidden love, and family loyalty. The story pulls us into the heart of Peachtree Pass, where emotions run high and connections are both powerful and perilous.

At the center of the story is Christine “Pris”, who struggles with her feelings for Tagger Grange, her brother’s best friend, upon his return to town. Their chemistry is electric right from the start, heated glances and lingering touches.

And when a night spent together in the hay leads to crossing the lines they both promised not to, we are taken on an emotional rollercoaster ride.

SL Scott’s writing is engaging, drawing us into the characters’ emotional journeys, she skillfully navigates the tension between the thrill of new love and the weight of obligation, creating a plot that kept me on the edge of me seat.

His dedication to his son makes him more than just a love interest, he’s a devoted father trying to find his place in both his son’s life and in Christine’s heart. Their interactions are tender and heartfelt, it’s definitely a slow burning romance.

The backdrop of Peachtree Pass is just where I’d like to live. The vivid descriptions definitely give us the small town feel.

The author’s ability to blend humor and heartfelt moments gives the story a perfect balance. The light-hearted banter between characters injects fun and warmth, while the steamy and emotional scenes serve to heighten the stakes, making the us root for their happy ending.

“Long Time Coming” is a delightful romantic read that hits all the sweet spots for fans of contemporary romance. With likeable characters, a charming small-town setting, and the excitement of forbidden love, this story hits all the right spots.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 24, 2025

Sometimes the temptation is too much to deny. Falling into bed with my best friend’s brother was an accident. What happened right after… not so much.

With abs more defined than the Texas Hill Country and a killer smirk I can’t ignore, the “boy next door” is all grown up and too hot for his own good. My heart races for a man who’s forbidden. My breath catches each time his hand brushes against mine.

His heated glances melt me, leading me closer to temptation.

One night together has us desperate for more. But we have no desire to give this small town something to talk about—or worse, upset his sister.

But when a new tyrant of a landlord threatens my family’s business, I need a miracle.

Call it a marriage of convenience or a friendly favor, but he comes through for me. The diamond ring on my finger gets me out of a jam but also has us confronting our feelings.

Did I just make a deal with the devil? Or am I actually falling in love with my husband?

REVIEW: In “Lead Me Knot,” SL Scott combines sharp wit and sizzling chemistry to create a delightful ranch romance set in the quaint town of Peachtree Pass. This engaging sequel captures the essence of small town charm while tackling the complexities of unexpected love.

I’ve not read the first book, do you need to? I don’t think you do, although I did like the book (so I guess I’ll be coming back soon 😉)

Peachtree Pass is a tight-knit community (I do love a small town romance 🥰) Friendships flourish, gossip abounds, and the stakes feel real as both Baylor and Lauralee maneuver through their complicated feelings and the judgment of their neighbors. (Keeping this relationship a secret from his sister/her best friend is proving tricky to say the least!)

Lauralee finds herself in a bind, and what seems like a casual marriage of convenience turns into something much more. The characters are well written, with their playful banter, it did make me chuckle at the one liners they would throw at each other 😂 You could feel the tension between the main characters, balancing the thrill of newfound feelings with the complications of their situation, deeper emotions start to evolve, will this deal lead to heartbreak, or can it blossom into true love?

Overall, “Lead Me Knot” is a heartfelt and entertaining read, perfect for those who enjoy stories about love, friendship, and the unexpected turns life can take.

The blend of humor, romance, and small town charm makes me add the next book to my TBR. 😉

A delightful blend of romance and community, this book will tug at your heartstrings and keep you smiling long after the last page.
