ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 13, 2026

She’s a driven city girl who’s not staying long.

He’s a laid-back mountain man who’s never leaving.

Sparks are flying, and its high heels versus flannel shirts.

Piper
As the COO for Langston Hotels, I travel the world, but for the moment, I’m stuck in Windward, Colorado.

The town is small, has snow (shudder), and did I mention small? Once I finish renovations to our latest acquisition, I’m gone.

One man has become the bane of my existence: head of hotel maintenance, Everett Murray.

Does the man wear his uniform? No. He wears awful flannel shirts and jeans. So maybe the denim fits his long body like a glove, and the flannel stretches over wide shoulders, but that’s beside the point.

I need the hotel to meet Langston standards, I need this job done so I can move on, and I won’t let Everett slow me down.

Everett
It took a tragedy for me to realize Windward was home. I love my job. No endless hours, no stress, no missing out on what’s important.

Then Piper Ellis struts into the hotel in her tight skirts and high heels. The woman is a high-maintenance headache I don’t need.

But when her troublemaker brother blows into town, I see another side of Piper. The softer side she keeps hidden. When his troubles make her a target, I’m there to keep her safe.

She might be a city girl, and I’m a mountain man to the bone, but neither of us can fight the force of our attraction.

Still, I know that one day she’ll pack her designer suitcase and leave, because everyone knows opposites might attract, but they don’t stay together.

•••••

REVIEW: NEVER AND ALWAYS is the third instalment in Anna Hackett’s contemporary, adult LANGSTON HOTELS erotic, romance series. This is COO of Langston Hotels Piper Ellis, and maintenance manager at Langston Winward Everett Murray’s story line. NEVER AND ALWAYS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Everett and Piper) NEVER AND ALWAYS focuses on the building but acrimonious relationship between COO of Langston Hotels Piper Ellis, and maintenance manager at Langston Winward Everett Murray, and the threats against our story line heroine. Piper Ellis is determined to make Langston Winward great but from the outset Piper struggles with her attraction to construction manger Everett Murray. Working together on a new project with Everett, Piper will come face to face with her rebellious and self-indulgent brother, a brother who has left a trail of debt in his wake, debt that is about to become Piper’s responsibility.

The world building focuses on the remodelling of the Langston Winward Hotel, and the building threats against our story line heroine. Piper has been targeted, and must come to terms with her brother’s spiral, a spiral that has now be redirected at our story line heroine.

The relationship between Everett and Piper is tempestuous at best at Piper struggles to accept the small town attitudes and disarming charisma of our story line hero. Everett is determined to become guardian and protector when the threats against Piper morph into personal and violent, but Piper refuses to back down when the intimidation and threats take aim at our story line heroine. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and determined including the return of hotel owner and manager Ambrose ‘Ro’ Langston and his wife Tessa; Everett’s best friend Chris and his wife Steph; Allie and Caden, concierge and security specialist Enzo Rossi, and his brother Alessio; security Gunner O’Neill, as well as the introduction Piper’s brother Chance Elllis; and Everett’s father Dale Murray. The requisite evil has many faces.

NEVER AND ALWAYS is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, high stakes addiction, family and heart break, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is dramatic, edgy and engaging; the romance is seductive ; the characters are desperate, dynamic and charismatic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 12, 2026

Her ex said she was past her prime. Her younger man begs to differ.

***

Two decades designing couture for the elite, and building a billion-dollar fashion brand, should feel like success. Instead, I have an empty mansion, a fresh divorce settlement, and the sinking feeling that I traded everything meaningful for a life that looks better on social media than it does in the mirror.

When my practically estranged best friend passes away, she leaves me with the one thing my ex-husband never gave me a chance to have—a baby. Well, a soon-to-be baby, currently residing in a surrogate’s belly. Surprise!

Guilt-ridden, and scared to face this alone, cue my desperate funeral plus-one hire: Saylor, an escort with bedroom eyes and a smile that makes me forget I’m supposedly “past my expiration date.” He’s over a decade younger and shouldn’t give me a second glance after the check clears.

Only he does.

And while I’m spiraling over surprise motherhood and the thoughts of launching a new fashion empire, away from the clutches of my ex, this way-too-young-for-me man has the audacity to look at me like I’m the only woman in the world.

“Too old” is what society whispers about women my age starting over. Too old for babies. Too old for new beginnings. Definitely too old for Saylor’s salacious advances that make me feel like a teenager in lust.

But what if the happily ever after isn’t lost, just fashionably late? And what if the unattainable escort couldn’t care less about earning his money, because he’s making a play for my heart?

••••••

REVIEW:The next installment in the Off the Books series by Kay Cove is here. Gray Area is the third book in the series and what a book it is. There is a little bit of everything in this book, from love and loss, to starting over again, to surprise baby to starting all over again. I was prepared to like this book, because frankly I really enjoy the author, but I wasn’t expecting to get as emotional about it as I did. It was that good!

Celeste is a woman who has worked her tushie off for the things that she has, but that has come at a cost. After finalizing a messy end to her marriage, Celeste finds herself a surprise guardian to her late best-friend (a best friend she hasn’t seen in forever) unborn baby. Weird right? But Celeste takes it all in stride, this could be her last chance to have the baby her ex always denied her. But before all that she has to get through the funeral, so she does the only thing she can think of. She hires an escort. Enter Saylor, the much younger cinnamon roll who seems to find her completely perfect. Together, these two start a journey that will change each other’s lives, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t test them at times. Saylor has his own baggage, and Celeste, well lets just say age isn’t always just a number.

I LOVE Saylor! The man is a giant, supportive, energetic teddy bear that we all need in our own lives. He loves to love, he is so kind and caring and sees Celeste for who she is rather than her fame and money. He had me smiling and happy for so much of this book, well up until I was crying into my Oreo’s for how sad he then made me. It was a roller coaster, let me tell you. Celeste is a girls girls, she is strong and fierce, but also kinda lonely. With Saylor and the new baby she starts to think that starting new may not be such a bad thing after all. But can she let him into her heart? Does she really want to be a new Mom at her age? Does Saylor really want her? Read and find out fellow readers!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 11, 2026

Having a baby wasn’t in my five-year plan.
Then again, neither was sleeping with a hockey player who hates my guts.
Star forward for the Grizzlies, Leo Richardson is my least favorite person on the planet.
Unfortunately, after a night of drinking and debauchery—on both our sides—we end up in bed together.
It was supposed to be one time—
Not a night punctuated by a lifetime of parental responsibility…and the slowly sinking feeling that I may have misjudged Leo.
That there may be more to him than the playboy persona.
That he may be everything I’ve ever dreamed of.
And that…I don’t think I can let him go.

••••••

REVIEW: KNOCKED UP BY NUMBER 90 is the third instalment in Elise Faber’s contemporary adult GRIZZLIES HOCKEY erotic, hockey romance series, a spin off from the author’s EAGLES HOCKEY/ OAKRDIGE VINEYARDS series.This is Grizzlies’ hockey player Leo Richardson, and caterer/ chef Harper’s story line. KNOCKED UP BY NUMBER 90 can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Harper and Leo) KNOCKED UP BY NUMBER 90 follows in the wake of a one-night stand in which Leo ghosted our story line heroine. Fast forward several weeks, caterer and friends with many of the Grizzlies’ WAGS, Harper discovers she’s pregnant, and Leo has apparently moved on with someone else. Struggling yet accepting she will be a single parent, Harper comes face to face with the man with whom she will fall in love. Leo Richardson doesn’t do relationships having witnessed the implosion of his parents’ numerous affairs but finding out Harper was carrying his child, Leo struggles with the new direction in life, and can’t quite move on from his current FIB.

The world building follows Harper, a doggedly independent young woman determined to make it on her own. With no promises for the future, Harper begins to accept her new future but Leo claims he wants to do what’s right. Neither grew up with loving fathers, and Leo worries about passing it on.

The relationship between Leo and Harper begins as a one-night stand but a surprise pregnancy throws both of their worlds into a spiral. Harper wants to prove she can raise the baby on her own but the Grizzlies wives and girlfriends pull our heroine into their tight-knit family. Leo soon realizes he has fallen in love with our story line heroine but misunderstanding and miscommunication quickly pull our couple apart. The $ex scenes are provocative and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Sawyer Hill, Faye’s (Divorced from number 38) friend Lainey, and Leo’s obnoxious parents Bill and Jennifer Richardson.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 11. 2026

One night in Vegas. One drunken vow. One surprise husband. I don’t drink. I don’t date. And I definitely don’t wake up married.

Ronan Black—A.K.A the stranger in my bed—is everything I don’t need. He’s a morally bankrupt charm offensive with trouble written all over his chiseled face. I’m the good daughter, the responsible best friend, the person who never makes bad decisions.

Now, one night in Vegas just turned into a lifetime of consequences when I wake up in Ronan’s bed…with his ring on my finger. Because he wants it to stay there. Maybe even for good.

It’s a bad idea. The worst. His plan is simple: stay married long enough for him to take control of his company and for me to keep mine afloat. It’s not fake…but it’s not exactly legitimate either.

So why am I starting to think this ridiculous marriage could actually work? Ronan might be morally gray, but he’s also becoming the only man I trust. But do these strange feelings go both ways? When his corrupt world forces him to pick, will Ronan choose his billions? Or will he choose us?

••••••

REVIEW: MORALLY BLACK ELOPEMENT is the second instalment in Nicole French’s contemporary, adult MORALLY BLACK WEDDINGS erotic, romance series focusing on the rich and powerful Black Family. This is interim CEO of Blackguard Holdings Ronan Black, and Delaney ‘Laney’ Fisher’s story line. MORALLY BLACK ELOPEMENT can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the series in order for back story and cohesion as there is an ongoing premise throughout.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Ronan and Laney) MORALLY BLACK ELOPEMENT follows a bachelorette party in Las Vegas wherein Laney wakes up married to the interim CEO of Blackguard Holdings Ronan Black but all is not as it appears to be-like his brother Brendon who walked away from the family business, Ronan needs a suitable wife, and Laney finds herself facing down a family of vipers, losing herself and everything in the process.

The world building is Mafia adjacent, focusing on the building relationship that is predicated upon a secret and a lie. Ronan does not want control of Blackguard Holdings but when his brother Brendon walked away, Ronan became heir by default when the next in line, refused to take control. Meanwhile, Laney is struggle with her family owned business, and a health issue of which she can no longer afford but the Black family are determined to destroy anyone they see as not good enough, and Laney finds herself in the direct line of fire.

The relationship between Laney and Ronan begins as drunk Vegas wedding in which neither one remembers what happened or how. Ronan is determined to remain married to our story line heroine, and in doing so, forces his family to take aim at our story line couple but when secrets are revealed, Laney discovers the life into which she agreed is nothing like the life Ronan had offered. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative.

Ronan’s siblings Brendon and his wife Simone, Owen and Shae; their controlling and manipulative father Naill Black; friend Liam Kelly; driver and security former US Navy SEAL Brady ‘Mac’ MacNamara, as well as the introduction of Laney’s father Jan Fisher, and her friend Megan.

MORALLY BLACK ELOPEMENT is a story of secrets and life, power and control, betrayal and dysfunction family relationships, forgiveness and love. The character driven premise is edgy, dramatic and sensational; the romance is passionate ; the characters determined, dynamic, and energetic.

On the three-year anniversary of true crime writer Olivia Cruz’s horrific kidnapping, she’s scheduled to walk her podcaster friend Zoe March through the crime scene, but Zoe fails to show. Olivia knows Zoe would never stand her up—not today.

Zoe’s husband, who claims she never came home the night before, has reported her missing. But marital conflicts make the police suspect she has left him. Olivia thinks otherwise. The police aren’t looking for Zoe, so Olivia begins her own investigation. Retracing her friend’s last steps, she finds Zoe’s phone and a text with one chilling word: Run.

It soon becomes apparent that Zoe has been keeping secrets, and with her true crime podcast, there’s no telling what she has unearthed. To find her, Olivia must dig into her friend’s past. Did Zoe vanish to escape a killer, and is Olivia walking into a deadly trap?

•••••••

REVIEW:YOU CAN TELL ME is the first instalment in Melinda Leigh’s contemporary, adult OLIVIA CRUZ suspense thriller focusing on true crime writer Olivia Cruz, a spin off from the author’s Morgan Dane Series. Olivia Cruz was first introduced in the author’s MORGAN DANE SERIES (Save Your Breath 6).

Her best friend and true crime podcaster Zoe March is hoping for an interview but when Zoe doesn’t show at the agreed upon time, Olivia begins to suspect something is wrong.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 7, 2026

Emilia thought she’d buried her past.

After being rejected by her fated mate nearly a decade ago, the half-witch, half-wolf built a quiet life in the small town of Crystal Falls running a psychic shop. But when tarot cards warn her that death and destiny are returning, she knows one thing for certain.

Warick is coming back.

The Alpha Hunter who rejected her arrives hunting a rogue killer and the trail leads straight to Emilia. Forced to work together, old wounds ignite into dangerous desire as they uncover a darker truth.

Something in the woods is summoning corrupted creatures using forbidden soul magic. And Emilia may be the key to stopping it.

But the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes… the magic behind the killings isn’t just targeting Warick. It’s targeting their bond.

Because someone in Emilia’s past is willing to burn the entire forest to claim power and Emilia and Warick are standing in the way.

••••••

REVIEW: GRAVE HEX is the first instalment in Jade Marshall’s contemporary, adult COVEN OF THE WOLF erotic, paranormal romance series. This is half wolf / half witch Emilia, and Alpha Hunter wolf Warick Blackwood’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Warick and Emilia) GRAVE HEX follows in the wake of the rejection of our story line heroine. Approximately ten years earlier half wolf / half witch Emilia was rejected by her fated mate, an Alpha Hunter who has returned, looking for help, as he searches for a rogue killer. While Emilia struggles to face the man who broke her soul, the search for a killer reveals a familiarity to our story line heroine.

The world building focuses on the hunt for a killer but a hunt that quickly reveals our couple have been targeted. Emilia is considered an abomination to both the witches and the wolves but Warick’s need for his mate, threatens any chance of a happily ever after when the council demands everything and more.

The relationship between Emilia and Warick is tempestuous at best. Ten years earlier, Warick broke our story line heroine when he rejected what fate had planned. For the next decade, Emilia has battled her need for a man who refused to accept their preordained status, and with his return, the possibility of a complete break down was near. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

The secondary and supporting characters are determined and powerful. We are introduced to several questionable supernatural creatures,the Alpha Council, and Emilia’s sister Moira. The requisite evil has many faces.

GRAVE HEX is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, obsession and discrimination, acceptance and forgiveness. The character driven premise is engaging and dark; the romance is edgy; the characters are desperate and dynamic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 19, 2026

A judge walks into a small-town police station at 3:19 AM and confesses to a murder he cannot describe, in a location he cannot name, to a victim he cannot identify.

By morning he is gone from a locked cell. Vanished in thin air.

In the desert mountains of Veil Canyon, Nevada, a body has been found deep inside Devil’s Backbone Mine. Arranged. Preserved. Identical to a body found five years ago in the same chamber. And twenty-two years before that, three sisters who were never recovered.

The pattern is not new. It is simply starting again.

FBI Special Agent Aria Hunt sees patterns where others see chaos. It is the thing that makes her exceptional—and impossible. When Judge Alexander Ashworth walks out of a locked cell leaving nothing behind but a wolf carving and a note with her name on it, she has no choice but to follow the pattern to where it leads.

More than a hundred feet underground. Into a mine that has been taking people for over two decades and giving nothing back.

A missing girl. A compromised deputy still standing in the dark. A judge who planned every detail before he ever walked through a door. And something in the chamber below that the CO readings and the infrasound frequencies and the gas readings can almost explain.

Almost. Hunt must witness. The note said so. She intends to do more than witness.

When FBI is out of leads, they bring in Special Agent Aria Hunt, a brilliant mind buried in the Records Division, known only to a few as “The Pattern Hunter.” Diagnosed with Level 1 Autism, Aria doesn’t think like other agents. She sees connections no one else can—quiet details, forgotten cases, anomalies lost in the archives.

••••••

REVIEW: BLOOD HUNT is the second instalment in Chase Austin’s contemporary, adult FBI Agent Aria Hunt psychological crime drama focusing on neuro-divergent FBI Agent Aria Hunt, an agent who sees everything in patterns. BLOOD HUNT can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.Aria Hunt was first introduced in the author’s Sam Wick Universe

Told from several omniscient third person perspectives BLOOD HUNT follows in the aftermath of the discovery of another body, ritually preserved and presented deep inside Devil’s Backbone Mine in Veil Canyon, Nevada. Several victims, over twenty-two years, culminates in another discovery wherein FBI Agent Aria Hunt is personally requested to witness the arrangement, the pattern, and the relationships over the twenty-two years.

The world building focuses on the clues or lack of thereof. Murdered and missing victims, an unexplained smell and sound, the dampness, the aura, the inevitable spiral of the people searching for the truth, as law enforcement find themselves caught between reality and the possibility of something else.

There is a large ensemble cast of interesting and desperate secondary and supporting characters including Sheriff Wade Dalton, Deputy Mackenzie Reynolds, Deputy Woodpecker, Deputy Ortiz, Deputy Green, Deputy Jim Brannigan, Judge Alexander Ashworth, Assistant Director Katherine Vance, Special Agent Daniel Garrett, Aria’s assistant Robert ‘Rook’ Finch, and a host of townsfolk hoping for answers.

BLOOD HUNT is a story of secrets and suspense, intriguing and the unexplained, murder and madness. The slow building premise is detailed, dramatic and dark-more of a written narrative of thoughts, descriptors, possibilities and patterns.FBI Agent Aria Hunt does not appear until half way through, as we are up close and personal with law enforcement as they struggle to make sense of what happened. BLOOD HUNT ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 4, 2026

My father orders me to seduce a man most people are too afraid to even look at.
Georgi Torrisi. Head of the Torrisi family and a Cosa Nostra Capo. A brutal and powerful man who rules his world with violence and absolute control.

And I’m supposed to make him want me. Turns out my father thinks he can use Georgi to get to Atanas Petkov, our family’s sworn enemy. If Atanas continues to grow in power with Georgi’s help, it will mean the end of my father’s reign of terror, and I’m the bait meant to make one of the most dangerous men in New York lower his guard.

Do I have a choice? No.

Hours later, Georgi Torrisi is chained in my father’s basement while the man I helped betray is beaten and tortured. My already messed-up life takes a turn for the worse, because I didn’t expect the guilt. I didn’t expect the way his eyes still burn when he looks at me.

And I definitely didn’t expect myself to unlock the chains and set him free.

The moment Georgi walks out of that basement, he turns into a violent monster that’s out for revenge. Once the hallways of my family home are painted red, he takes my daughter and me with him. There’s no running. No hiding.

And now all I can do is pray I survive being at the mercy of the man I betrayed.

••••••

REVIEW: Possesssive Enemy is book 8 in the Kings of Mafia Series, by Michelle Heard. While this book is considered a stand alone, reading the other books in this series interconnects the characters and gives you a better understanding of the world built. This book also has an extensive list of trigger warnings so I would definitely take heed.

In the book we have Nina Pavlova – daughter of Boris Pavlov – head of the Bulgarian Crime Family. Nina is 27 and under her fathers rule. What her father says goes. While using her daughter Simi as leverage, her father has Nina do his bidding so that she is allowed to see Simi for two hours each day. Her father told her ahe would seduce a man, Georgi Torrisi, 35, one of the heads Cosa Nostra.

She is to seduce him, get him outside his hotel so they can kidnap him and beat him until they can get the information they need from him.

Georgi Torrisi is in Nina’s basement! Right next to her bedroom. She is ordered by her father to tend to Georgi’s wounds each time they beat him. In doing so Georgi gets to see the vile way Nina is trwated by her father and thr man her father allowed to rape her – Anton.
With each disgusting behavior to Nina, Georgi falls harder and harder for her.
Nina does everything her father asks just to keep her daughter alive. And to be able to see her.
But it all becomes to much and Nina frees Georgi and all hell breaks loose.
Just as she frees him he is able to contact his family who have been looking for him.
Once his family arrives – Georgi is hell bent on wreaking havoc on Nina’s father and his guards for how they have treated her. When his family storm the house he takes Nina and Simi with him. But Nina believes she is going to be killed as revenge for her father. Georgi wants nothing more than to take care of her and keep her and Simi safe. What will it take for Nina to finally allow her true feelings for Georgi to come to the surface? Will she ever be able to trust her fathers sworn enemies? Will Georgi become Nina’s prince that saved her?

I absolutely loved the dynamic of the main characters of this book and little Simi was a bonus I didn’t know I needed!

I love how quickly Georgi felt protective of both of them and pray that her father and Anton get what they deserve.

Wonderful series! Highly recommend mafia romance.
