Adriana Locke has revealed the gorgeous cover for Flame!

Releasing: November 2, 2023

Wanted: A Marriage of Convenience

I swore I would only get married if my life depended on it.

Oh, the irony.

Because the universe took that as a challenge, I’m now in the market for a husband. But if I’m going to be stuck in a temporary marriage, I want it to be with the right man.

I might as well try to enjoy this experience, right?

Considering the circumstances, I need a protector—someone who will throw down for his short-term wife with no questions asked. He’ll be fit. Intelligent. My potential short-term husband will have a dry sense of humor. And, if I’m dreaming big, he’ll be drop-dead gorgeous and a little grumpy. Hot, grumpy men are so attractive.

I mean, if a marriage of convenience is the only way out of this precarious situation, I may as well look for a perfect, broody bodyguard, right?

It could be fun. Lots of fun.

Especially if the one man I know who fits the bill will play along.

But, if Foxx Carmichael does agree to this crazy plan, for better or worse, death might do us part in a whole other way.

New Release Review: Popularity Isn't Easy by Jillian Dodd

 

Popularity Isn't Easy by Jillian Dodd
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was glad to be back at Eastbrooke to see what came next as Arrington got settled in for her first year of school there. Lots of boy and friend drama, fashion and high-dollar fun fill the pages and left me wanting more for sure. I actually love how author Jillian Dodd leaves us with a little cliffhanger at the end of each installment- it really builds the excitement for the next installment for me.

New Release Review: Tempting the Player by Rebecca Jenshak

Tempting the Player by Rebecca Jenshak is now live!

He’s the last guy I should fall for.

Valley U was supposed to be my fresh start after I escaped the glitz and glam of Hollywood.

I didn’t want to be the former child star who graced TV screens across the world.

I wanted to feel normal.

When the same hot guy runs past my off-campus house every day, I assume he’s another college student.

When he protects me from boys who still think of me as the character from their teenage dreams, I think he is being kind.

When my past comes back to haunt me, he makes me feel safe.

I’m falling hard and fast for a guy I barely know.

Until I realize my mysterious new crush has a secret.

He was hired to be my undercover bodyguard.

My review: 5 stars!

After it was revealed in the third book in the Campus Wallflowers series that mysterious Jane was actually a former teen TV star Ivy Green (think Hannah Montana) I was really excited for her story, and Tempting the Player was a happy surprise as she forms a relationship not with a college athlete, but with the secret bodyguard named Hendrick she forms a crush on before she realizes he's been hired to keep her safe. There was sort of a grumpy/sunshine dynamic between them once they actually meet and it's so cute how Jane brings him fancy coffee drinks to make him smile. I loved seeing them get to know each other and their attraction for each grow. Hendrick's house and his brothers were a hoot and added so much to the story. The suspense plot is well done. I do think this can be read just fine as a standalone, but you'll definitely want to go back and read the other books in the series to get to know the other Wallflower girls better- it's truly a great series!

New Release Review: How to Score Off Field by Sara Ney

 

How to Score Off Field by Sara Ney
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I need to go back and re-read my reviews of the books about the other Colter brothers, because I may have said several times that several of them were my favorites. BUT! Drew really is. What a great guy! I fell hard and fast for him. He and Tess were endearingly awkward together and it was just adorable.

New Audiobook Release Review: The Proposal by Adriana Locke

 

The Proposal by Adriana Locke
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I finished the audiobook of The Proposal with a giant smile on my face! It was everything I love about Adriana Locke books- sweet and sexy and full of fun characters. She even let us get to know a character who, up until now, has been super mysterious in her Carmichael series. Narrators John Lane and Avery Caris, who were both new to me, were fantastic and I really enjoyed their performances. I am looking forward to listening to more of their work, and as always, am looking to author Adriana Locke's next book.

Cover Reveal: The Rules of Dating My One-Night Stand

 

Title: The Rules of Dating My One-Night Stand

Authors: Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Cover Design: Sommer Stein, Perfect Pear Creative

Photographer: Marq Mendez

Model: Karl Kugelmann

Release Date: November 12, 2023

BLURB

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl.

After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest.

Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more.

I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time.

Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together.

I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number.

In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

So imagine my surprise when I knocked on the door of an apartment in the building I lived in, and none other than my one-night stand stood on the other side.

If I thought Devyn didn’t want anything to do with me before, that was nothing compared to how she felt after finding out I was the landlord and she was about to be evicted…

And that was just the first surprise that would rock my world when it came to the mystery woman in apartment 410.

New Release Audiobook Review: The Deja Glitch by Holly James

The Deja Glitch by Holly James
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I borrowed this audiobook from my local library and really enjoyed Gemma and Jack's "stuck in a time loop" story. I loved how, rather than subject us to the same events over and over, the author chose for the story to be just the last, and most important, loop through Gemma's point of view. I have a soft spot for Hallmark-ish plots and The Deja Glitch satisfied that with this fun, clean read. Kristen DiMercurio was a new-to-me narrator, and she did an excellent job.
