ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 18, 2026

Ensley
Ten years ago, my world shattered when I lost not only my best friend, but the man I loved. Colt’s brother was my best friend, and his death took two people from my life in a single moment. One I lost to tragedy, and one I lost to grief.I waited for Colt to come home and grieve with the rest of us after his brother’s death, but after the first year passed, it became painfully clear he wasn’t coming back to River Falls.

I did what I had to do to keep moving forward. I pushed every thought of Colt out of my mind. If only my heart had known how to loosen its grip on him. Instead, I poured myself into building a career as a farrier, supported my family’s ranch, and watched one sibling after another find their happily ever after while I stood still, holding on to someone who wasn’t there. Eventually, I realized that if I was ever going to find my own happiness, I had to stop waiting for it. I had to take control of my future.

And just when I finally believed I had everything figured out, Colt returned to River Falls, and my carefully built life fell apart all over again.

Colt
After ten years away, I’m back in River Falls, not entirely sure where I fit anymore.

I left after my brother took his own life, drowning in guilt and convinced I was responsible. I couldn’t face my family. I couldn’t face Ensley. So, I ran and stayed gone far longer than I ever intended.

I told myself time would make it easier. It didn’t.

The moment I see Ensley Wilde sitting in a chair beside my father’s hospital bed, everything I buried comes rushing back. Including the guilt I’ve never managed to outrun. For years, we’ve all carried our own version of what happened to Grady, and the guilt that came with each version. But when the truth finally comes to light, will it be enough to heal what’s broken between us, or will it destroy what’s left entirely?

Can I earn my parents’ trust again?

And more importantly… is there still a chance to win back Ensley Wilde’s heart, and the life I left behind? Can I finally give her the future she’s always dreamed of?

REVIEW: WILDE HEARTS is the fourth instalment in Kelly Elliott’s contemporary, adult LOVE IS A COWBOY romance series focusing on the Wilde family of River Falls. This is thirty year olds Ferriers Ensley Wilde, and Colt Owens’ story line. WILDE HEARTS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information form the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Ensley and Colt) WILDE HEARTS follows the second chance relationship between our story line couple. Ensley and Colt were childhood sweethearts but ten years earlier, Colt lost his brother Grady to a suicide, and in the aftermath, Colt ran without looking back. Fast forward to present day, Colt has returned to his home town of River Falls in the wake of a family illness but his reception is less than happy as Ensley, and the Owens family have struggled with questions for close to ten years. Hoping to reconnect with the woman he has always loved,Colt finds himself fighting a losing battle but his return comes on the heels of a personal betrayal, one of which the Owens family is struggling understand.

The world building focuses on the business of ranching, blue skies and rolling hills. From Banff Alberta to small town River Falls, the reader is integrated into a peaceful surrounding. The Wilde Family have supported one another as well as the Owens clan, and in this, Colt’s departure affected everyone including our story line heroine.

The relationship between Ensley and Colt is a rekindling romance, a romance destroyed by tragedy and death. Ensley suffered a broken heart for close to ten years; Colt battled with himself to acknowledge his mistake and need to run. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate and intense.

The secondary and supporting characters are energetic and determined. We are reintroduced to the Wilde clan: Ensley’s parents Ladd and Vivianne Wilde, and her siblings Gatlin, Caden and Lilibeth, Emeline and her husband Levi, as well as Colt’s parents Jacob and Lynn, and Ensley’s suitor Doug.

WILDE HEARTS is a story of loss and grief, betrayal and heart break, family and friendships, forgiveness and love. The character driven premise is emotional and impassioned;the romance is seductive and fated; the characters are broken, desperate and charismatic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 26, 2026

Lilibeth

When I moved to River Falls, Colorado, falling for the town’s broody, tight-lipped cowboy was not part of the plan. Yet somehow, every run-in with Caden Wilde turns into a battle of sharp words and stolen glances. We argue like we’re at war, but my pulse never gets the memo.

He’s stubborn. Infuriating. Impossible. And the most breathtaking man I’ve ever seen.

When a twist of fate forces us to spend a few days alone together, the line between enemies and something far more dangerous begins to blur. Beneath the scowls and sarcasm, I see pieces of the man he tries so hard to hide.
There’s just one problem. Caden doesn’t believe in relationships.

So, I agree to his rules. A few days. No promises. No expectations. We’ll walk away as friends when it’s over. Simple. Until my heart refuses to play by those rules.

Caden

Two years ago, the woman I planned to marry shattered my future with a single word. Since then, I’ve kept my life simple, my ranch, my routine, and no room for anything that could wreck me again.

Then Lilibeth Asher blows into town like a Colorado storm. She’s sunshine where I’m shadows. Hope where I’m hesitant. Too kind, too bright, too tempting for a man who swore he was done believing in forever. From the moment we met, she’s challenged me, pushing my buttons, breaking through my silence, and making me feel things I buried long ago.

When a snowstorm traps us together, I convince myself I can handle it. A temporary truce. A few nights in my bed. No strings attached. I’ve survived heartbreak before. I can survive this.

But Lilibeth isn’t temporary. She slips past my defenses, tearing down the walls I built piece by piece. And when life throws us a curveball neither of us sees coming, walking away is no longer an option. Now I have a choice to make. Smother this spark before it roars out of control.

Or surrender to the wild flame she’s ignited inside me—a fire fierce enough to burn away my past and powerful enough to light the rest of my life.

••••••

REVIEW: WILDE FLAME is the third instalment in Kelly Elliott’s contemporary, adult LOVE IS A COWBOY erotic, romance series. This is thirty-two year old rancher Caden Wilde,and twenty-nine year old Lilibeth Asher’s story line. WILDE FLAME 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 (Caden and Lilibeth) WILDE FLAME follows the building but acrimonious relationship between Caden Wilde and Lilibeth Asher.

The usual gossips, and a ghost from the past refuse to allow our couple their own happily ever after but Caden considers himself too broken for love,while Lilibeth wants nothing more to love the man who’s afraid to fall.

The relationship between Caden and Lilibeth is an enemies to friends to lovers Lilibeth believes Caden dislikes everything about her but Caden is frightened of his feelings, scared to fall and get hurt again. As our couple must navigate a new path going forward, the past returns demanding a second chance. The $ex scenes are passionate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, familiar and energetic secondary and supporting characters, most of whom we met in the previous instlaments.Caden’s extended family is hoping to see Caden find his own happily ever after, secretly hoping he falls for the woman currently in his life.

WILDE FLAME is a story of betrayal and heart break, family and friendships, relationships and love. The character driven premise is emotional and captivating; the romance is seductive and steamy; the character are charismatic, desperate and dynamic.

•••••••

REVIEW:WILDE RIDE is the second instalment in Kelly Elliott’s contemporary, adult LOVE IS A COWBOY erotic, romance series. This is veterinarian and single father Levi Tucker, and rancher Emeline Wilde’s story line. WILDE RIDE 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 (Emeline and Levi) WILDE RIDE focuses on the return of Levi Tucker to his home town of River Falls, Colorado. Approximately eight years earlier, Levi married his pregnant girlfriend and moved away to raise his family somewhere else. Fast forward to present day, Levi has returned, with his six year old son, and an impending divorce on the horizon but Levi never expected to find himself pulled towards, Emeline Wilde, a woman he sees as nothing more this his best friend’s younger sister. Emeline fell in love with Levi Tucker when she was fourteen years old but Levi was older, and our heroine watched from the sidelines as Levi fell in love with someone else. Working together at the Wilde Family’s summer camp meant time spent together but when Emeline professed her feelings for Levi, our hero announced he wasn’t ready for anything else.

The world building follows several pathways including the Wilde Family summer camp for underprivileged kids; Levi’s need to move on from the demons of his past; the nosy and gossipy townsfolk who have no problem getting involved in everyone’s life;Emeline’s heart break when she realizes Levi doesn’t feel the same way; and Emeline’s brother Caden who continues to struggle with a past betrayal.

The relationship between Emeline and Levi is a best friend’s younger sister; a potentially forbidden relationship in the face of a lifelong friendship but a relationship that is perfect when all is said and done. Emeline has been in love with Levi for as long as she can remember but Levi’s marriage imploded, and he is struggling to move on from the death of his daughter. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

The colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters include Emeline’s siblings: Gatlin, Ensley, and Caden; Levi’s son Rhett; perfumer Lilithbet, as well as the Wilde parents Ladd and Vivianne, and several townsfolk who may or may not have an ulterior motive.

WILDE RIDE is a story of family and friendships, relationships and love. The character driven premise is captivating and engaging; the romance is seductive; the characters are energetic and charismatic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 20, 2026

Ladd
As the son of a third-generation cattle rancher, it’s expected that I would follow in the footsteps of my father, grandfather, and great-grandfather and work the family ranch just as they did.

However, that wasn’t my dream, and thankfully, my parents stood behind me when I told them I wanted to open a sporting goods store in our hometown of River Falls, Colorado. That’s my plan. My endgame, and nothing is going to distract me from that goal.

Then, I met Vivianne Pennington. It soon becomes clear to me that Vivianne is now a part of my dreams, and when I bring her home for Christmas, my entire family and the town of River Falls fall head over heels in love with her.

Vivanne
I’ve gone and found myself in love with a cowboy from a small town in Colorado. When Ladd’s mother and father insist that I come and spend Christmas with them on the family’s cattle ranch, I’m both excited and nervous.

It becomes clear to me that Ladd’s family has deep roots in the community and a family bond I’ve never experienced before. Estranged from my own parents, I long to be a part of the Wilde family and start to see myself living on the ranch and being a part of the community.

But I’m keeping a secret from my past. A secret that I’m terrified will destroy the future I envision, and I’m scared to lose the wild cowboy who has stolen my heart.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 11, 2025

Liam

The heart is fickle. One day, you love something or someone, and then the next, they destroy you with their lies, and that love disappears.

I’m over the lies and the deceit. So, I tell my wife I want a divorce, only to find out she’s fighting for her life, against a disease that doesn’t like to lose. What kind of man would I be if I went through with ending our marriage knowing she’s sick?

So, I stay. I raise our daughter, and I’m there to help her when she needs me. Her best friend, Aurora, is there too, which becomes a problem because Aurora is everything my ex isn’t, and with each passing day, I fall harder for her, and my guilt for those feelings grows.

Aurora

When Hope told me about her diagnosis, I wanted to do anything I could to help her through this. I vowed to be there for her, to help in any way I could.

I jumped in to help with Winnie and picked up the slack where Liam couldn’t. With each day, we watched her condition worsen. I spent more time with them, mostly Liam and me, and in time, we grew to be good friends. After we lost Hope to her illness, the friendship I thought I had found in Liam was destroyed when he pushed me away with words that cut to the core.

When Liam reaches out to heal the wound between us, we begin to grow close again, and I can admit to myself that my feelings for Liam go far beyond simple friendship. When Liam shares the biggest secret of his life with me, and the truth about his relationship with Hope comes to life, everything changes between us. His guilt will not let him fully move on with his life.

How can I convince him that if he’d let me, I’d love him and his daughter for eternity? I’d give him this heart with no regrets.

••••••

REVIEW:THIS HEART is the fourth and final instalment in Kelly Elliott’s contemporary, adult MOOSE VILLAGE erotic, romance series. This is bar owner and single father Liam Turner, and book store owner Aurora Banks’ story line. THIS HEART 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 (Liam and Aurora) THIS HEART follows several months after the death of Liam’s wife Hope, and the destruction of a friendship in the wake of secrets and lies. Several months earlier, Liam’s wife Hope succumbed to cancer, leaving behind her two year old daughter, and a husband struggling to move on with his life but the fall-out of his friendship with Aurora Banks sat the heaviest upon on the heart of our story line hero. As Hope’s illness progressed, Liam was struggling with his attraction to Aurora Banks, and in the end pushed away the woman with whom he would fall in love. Desperate for childcare, Liam asks Aurora to help with finding a nanny, and the spiral of his decision will weight heavily on everyone involved.

The world building focuses one woman’s secrets; the lies buried with the dead, and a betrayal by another determined to take control.

The relationship between Aurora and Liam was best friends to enemies, to friends to lovers, a relationship destroyed by jealousy and illness. Liam has lusted after our story line heroine for as long as he can remember but life was about to spiral, and secrets from the past would threaten any hope for a future. The $ex scenes are seductive and passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters are familiar, energetic and engaging. We are reintroduced to all of the previous story lines couples, as well as Liam’s daughter Winnie, and nanny Kim Thompson.

THIS HEART is a story of secrets and lies, loss and guilt, family and relationships, forgiveness and love. The character driven premise is captivating and emotional; the romance is seductive; the characters are determined and dynamic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 19, 2025

Brystol
I’ve been in love with Gavin since high school. He broke my heart back then, something I’m not keen to forget, which makes our current situation challenging. Our best friends are married, and we’re constantly thrown together because of that connection. When those same friends ask me for a favor, one that is life-changing for all of us, I don’t even question how close it will bring me to Gavin. I simply say yes.

Gavin
I’m not sure what I did to turn Brystol against me, but whatever it was, I’m ready to make amends. I might even tell her that she was all I could see back in high school. When our best friends ask Brystol to be their surrogate, I have mixed feelings, to say the least. Nothing will keep me from supporting her in every way possible because among those feelings are admiration and love for the kind girl I used to know…and even more for the woman she’s become.

Neither of us were prepared for the trials and tribulations that come with not just pregnancy but the surrogacy process—including the strain it can put on everyone involved. Nor could we predict the powerful emotions or the sheer joy of growing a life. There is no way we could have predicted the heartache that would follow.

••••

REVIEW: THIS MEMORY is the third instalment in Kelly Elliott’s contemporary, adult MOOSE VILLAGE erotic, romance series. This is police officer Gavin Quinn and toy store owner Brystol Duggan’s story line.THIS MEMORY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers

Gavin doesn’t know what he did in high school to Brystol but somehow he broke our heroine’s heart. Brystol has never forgiven Gavin for the high school humiliation but carrying their best friend’s child means forgiving the man with whom she will fall in love. Disaster will strike not once but twice, and our couple must come to terms with what happened and why. Guilt followed by heartbreak finds our couple journeying towards a different future than they could have ever imagined.

The world building focuses on the rekindling friendship between Brystol and Gavin. A perceived betrayal, and an ongoing need to push Gavin out of her life finds our couple coming to terms with the past, and making plans for the immediate future but all does not go according to plan, when Gavin and Brystol ‘s lives will take an unexpected and heartbreaking turn.

Brystol had been in love with Gavin for as long as she could remember but high school bullies and betrayal sent Brystol into another direction. Gavin have not idea what happened in the past but knowing he needed to apologize meant a second chance with the woman with whom he would fall in love-the sexual tension is palpable.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 27, 2025

Is there anything worse than getting dumped by your boyfriend in a very public, very humiliating way? How about agreeing to fake-date the jerk to help get his matchmaking mother off his back and make his new love interest jealous?

My friends and family don’t think so, but I’m getting Giants season tickets out of the deal. I can do anything for a short couple of months, right? However, when my ex’s sexier older brother, Delcan, moves back home, I realize I’m not that confident after all.

For five years, I’ve avoided Moose Village, New York, as much as possible for one reason: the girl I’ve crushed on since high school was already spoken for—by my brother. Now discharged from the military, I’m coming home, tentatively heartened by the fact that they’re no longer a couple. Except…it seems they are. But something’s different this time. Harper doesn’t seem as smitten as she was the first time around. Meanwhile, the chemistry sizzling between us is what I’ve dreamed of for years.

Even if I’m able to get to the bottom of the weird behavior between my brother and Harper, I’ve gone from one dangerous career to another. I’ve already got my anxious mother badgering me to quit. Will my career choice be too much for Harper, too?

I can only hope this feeling between the two of us is enough.

This Feeling is book two in the Moose Village series and can be read as a stand alone. The author does suggest reading the books in order for a better reading experience.

••••••

REVIEW: THIS FEELING is the second instalment in Kelly Elliott’s contemporary, adult MOOSE VILLAGE erotic, romance series. This is thirty-five year old, former US Marine turned police officer Declan Gallagher, and florist Harper Browning’s story line. THIS FEELING can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Declan and Harper), THIS FEELING focuses on the return of Declan Gallagher from serving over seas. Five years earlier, Declan’s brother Sean asked out Declan’s secret crush Harper Browning, leaving Declan wondering if he ever had a chance. Fast forward to present day, Sean humiliated Harper with a very public break up, leaving Harper wondering where it all went wrong but when his mother begins matchmaking, Sean asks Harper for a favor, a fake relationship until his mother gives up. Declan Gallagher suspects something isn’t right, and within hours of his return , Declan begins a slow seduction of Harper Browning, hoping for his own happily ever after with the woman he never forgot.

The world building follows Harper Browning as she struggles with her ex’s scheme to deceive his mother, making his new love interest jealous in the process but with the return of Declan Gallagher pushes Harper to back down on the fake relationships, and in doing so, sets into motion a new relationship and love with our story line hero.

The relationship between Declan and Harper is one of mutual attraction but Sean’s need to deceive forces Harper into a lie. Declan is determined to seduce our story line heroine, and in doing so, set into motion the potential for a life-long commitment. The $ex scenes are erotic and intense without the use of over the top,sexually graphic language and text.

Kian Carter is stuck in a rut. A successful lawyer in his parents’ New York City office, he’s sick and tired of their greed, their lifelong insistence on putting their powerhouse practice above all else—including Kian and his siblings. So he does what he should have done long ago, what his brother and sister did…Kian turns his back on law. Quitting the firm and moving back to the only home he’s ever known, quiet Moose Village in Upstate New York.

Not much ever changes in the tiny town in the foothills of the Adirondacks. Or so Kian thought. But this time, there’s one big difference: Moose Village is playing host to a mystery woman. And she happens to be working at his aunt’s bakery. Lovely Cadie Waterford is the talk of the town gossips, as much for her luscious banana bread as her unwillingness to talk about her past.

Kian’s not normally one to engage in gossip…but the more time he spends with Cadie, the more intrigued he becomes. Whatever her secrets may be, he’s sure he can handle them—but when words like FBI, CIA, and even murder come into play, does Cadie need more protection than Kian thought?

Or does Moose Village need protection from Cadie…?

REVIEW: THIS MOMENT is the first instalment in Kelly Elliott’s contemporary, adult MOOSE VILLAGE erotic, romance series. This is thirty-three year old, attorney Kian Carter, and baker Cadie Waterford’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Kian and Cadie) THIS MOMENT follows in the wake of the arrival of Cadie Waterford to Moose Village, Massachusetts. Cadie’s arrival is met with gossip and interest, and our heroine is determined to keep her secrets from the people in Moose Village but the return of home town favorite Kian Carter finds our heroine a bigger topic of gossip, and in this, she finds herself falling for a man who is struggling with a new direction in life. All is not as it appears to be as Cadie’s past refuses to let go, and our heroine must reconsider her future in Moose Village where she rediscovered her passion, and a man with whom she will fall in love.

The world building follows Cadie as she starts life anew in the small town of Moose Village. A baker by trade, Cadie is welcomed into Kian’s aunt’s place Batter Up Bakery, where Cadie will make a name for herself baking treats and desserts but Cadie refuses to reveal too much about her past, and in this, the town gossips work overtime to uncover the truth. Kian Carter is an attorney who has always wanted to write, to become an mystery author, and has decided to return to his home town in an effort to escape the world of high finance and the law but coming face to face with Cadie gives Kian thoughts for a future, a future with the woman with whom he is falling in love. Meanwhile, Kian reveals the dysfunctionality of the Carter household, as Cadie must come to terms with the events of the past.

The relationship between Cadie and Kian is one of immediate attraction but Cadie’s secrets become the source of the town gossipers and bullies. Working for Kian’s aunt give Cadie a purpose but her past may also be a threat to the people she is growing to love. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and dynamic secondary and supporting characters including some questionable gossipers found in small-town life. We are introduced to Cadie’s best friend Lauryn; Kian’s aunt Opal, his sister Macy, brother Mark, and their parents Lacy and Doug, housekeeper Sally, as well as Cadie’s ex Michael.

THIS MOMENT is a story of secrets and lies, power and control, family and friendships, relationships and love. The premise is thought provoking and edgy; the romance is spicy and spirited; the characters are energetic and sassy.
