About MY FAVORITE HOLIDATE:

Wanted: one hot billionaire to pose as my Christmas boyfriend. Must be willing to make my cheating ex jealous when you kiss me under the mistletoe at all the holiday parties. Bonus points if you make him cry. 


To my surprise my billionaire boss is more than up for the challenge of coming down the chimney as my holiday boyfriend. The sexy single dad desperately needs a plus one at a Christmas Eve wedding, where he’s the best man and I’m the maid of honor. 


And since my ex is in the wedding party too, my boss and I team up as a pair of insta-lovebirds for the holiday season, including during the annual week-long Christmas competition leading up to the snowy destination wedding.


But soon staying up late to string the best popcorn balls ever turns into a scorching night in his arms where the chestnuts aren’t the only thing roasting on the open fire. 


Can all these winter wonderland nights seeking revenge turn into the real thing when we return to the office? Or are we destined to go the way of a Christmas tree on New Year’s?



READ THE EXCERPT:

“Bossy,” she mutters. 

I smirk. “Does this surprise you?” 

“Not in the least.” Then she murmurs under her breath, a little sensually, “Sir.” 

Well, then. That’s a whole lot of info delivered in that tone. I can’t not ask: “So not only does it not surprise you, it sounds like you don’t mind it either?” 

She tips her chin up at me, challenging me with, “What do you think?” 

I don’t think. I do. I slide my thumb along her pretty chin. God, it feels so good to touch her again. “That you like to give me hell. That you like to keep me on my toes. And that you love to give me a hard time.” 

She leans into my touch, almost like she’s saying with her body don’t stop. “And I think you love all those things too,” she says in a husky voice that gives a little hint of her desire.  

My thumb travels up to her cheek. She moves with me, her breath gusting across those gorgeous lips. “You’d be right,” I say, heat flaring inside me.

My review: 5 stars!

Author Lauren Blakely really treated her readers with this fantastic holiday romance! I loved the audiobook, narrated in duet by Jason Clarke and Samantha Brentmoor along with a full cast including listener favorites Andi Arndt, Connor Crais, Vanessa Edwin, Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon just to name a few. Fake dating is always fun, and billionaire Wilder and employee Fable had such amazing chemistry and banter that had me giggling so many times. I adored Mac, Wilder's daughter, and she and Wilder's aunt were such great characters. I am never disappointed with a Lauren Blakely book or audiobook, and My Favorite Holidate has me totally in the holiday spirit!

New Release Review: Forever Wild by Rebecca Jenshak

 



Forever Wild by Rebecca Jenshak is now live! 


The annoyingly handsome hockey captain glaring at me needs my help.

He won’t admit that, of course. But with his teammate’s gone for the summer and him fresh off a season-ending injury, someone has to keep him in check and it’s not the nurses he keeps running off.

I’m having one last summer of fun before I move away to start my first grown-up job, and I seem to be the only woman on the planet immune to his charm. Sure, I’ve noticed his chiseled jaw and sculpted muscles (Did I mention he’s annoyingly handsome?), but I have too much self-preservation to fall for a grumpy hockey star who can have any woman he wants and doesn’t do serious relationships.

Except once he lets me help him, I see past his broody exterior and jerk comments and I realize something terrible. I want him.

Now I just need to convince him to throw out all his rules for a fling with his teammate’s little sister.

My review: 5 stars!
Fans of the Wildcat Hockey series have been (im)patiently waiting on Jack and Everly's story, and it was absolutely worth the wait! What a fantastic ending to the series this was! The grumpy/sunshine banter was on point, the chemistry was fantastic, and this was just all-around a joy to read.

Cover Reveal: Someone Knows by Vi Keeland

 



Title: Someone Knows
Author: Vi Keeland
Publisher: Simon & Schuster/Emily Bestler Books
Genre: Standalone Thriller
Release Date: June 17, 2025


BLURB

As a college English professor, Elizabeth looks forward to the start of each new semester teaching her creative writing seminar. At least until she reads chapter one of The Reckoning, a tale about a high school senior who has an affair with her teacher. To anyone else it would be the beginning of a great page-turner, but to Elizabeth it is the beginning of the end.

She knows this story. It’s all familiar because she lived it. The girl in the story was her best friend Jocelyn, and Elizabeth knows exactly how the story will end—with the teacher dead. Because she was the one who killed him.

Someone knows what Elizabeth did twenty years ago and her secret is about to be exposed, but who is the mystery student submitting the chapters? In an effort to find out, Elizabeth returns to her Louisiana hometown where it soon becomes clear that no matter how many years have gone by, she can’t escape her past.

READ THE EXCERPT:

I tremble, then glance around the office. It’s huge, with windows overlooking the field. With a massive desk for the owner. With me on that desk. Have I had boss fantasies before? I don’t think so but right now all I want is to be taken in the morning by this powerful man.

I lean back further, making my intentions clear. The Christmas music is my wingwoman, the songs turning sexier.

“Fable,” he says, as a warning.

“Yes, Wilder?”

His eyes squeeze shut. There’s that battle again. But only I can assuage it. 

“Practice,” I urge. “Practice with me.”

He opens his eyes, shakes his head, but it’s not a no. It’s resignation to this lust. “You,” he mutters.

That’s all. Just you.

In one fell swoop, he pushes a folder of papers off to the side. My skin tingles from the thrill of watching them fly.
