You might think it’s reckless for a single mom to enter into a marriage of convenience with her boss . . .
You would be correct.
To make matters worse, Abel King is a grumpy local brewer with a criminal past. He also happens to be my boss and a total stick-in-the-mud. Every time I come to work with a smile and wave, I’m lucky if I can get a grunt in response.
When I accidentally-on-purpose overhear that he’s having trouble securing a business loan due to his criminal record, I hatch a plan to help the both of us.
The arrangement is perfect—a business transaction and nothing more. Like having a roommate without the hassle of other people bugging you for dates.
I will definitely not be falling in love with him—no matter how many times he says “my wife” and tingles dance in all the right places.
Trouble is, as time goes on, things stop feeling like business and start feeling a whole lot like pleasure . . . and really, that’s just my luck . .



My Review:

ARC: Release Date- 07/15/2024

5 STARS

#MarriageofConvenience #ExCon #GrumpySunshine #SingleMom #Workplace #SmallTown #FamilySeries #ARC

Written in first person from an alternating dual POV, this book gives Abel and Sloane their HEA. Though their love story stands alone, this series is better read in order due to underlying plot points that extend throughout the series.

Abel. *sigh* I think he just became one of my favorite “my wife” heroes of all time. He is tough, grumpy, scowly, and growly on the outside while inside he harbors the soft heart of a man who has been hurt and broken. Sloane loves to poke the bear. Working for Abel, she finds joy in being the one to rattle his cage a bit. Their banter is on point. Sloane is fierce and strong and willing to do anything to protect her kids. She is such a good mom. I adore the marriage of convenience trope and this one handles it perfectly. From the proposal forward, I was completely hooked.

I love how they move from boss/employee, to friends, to more in such a natural way. I adored Abel’s protective nature over Sloane and the kids. Speaking of the kids; I loved, loved, loved the relationship Abel formed with them. I really appreciated that Sloane sees Abel for who he truly is and not who he is made out to be. I loved the heat level between them and the meddling family that gives them an opportunity to break through the walls they have keeping them apart. There are underlying suspense plots that run through the series and readers get a little more information in this book. They are also presented with a few new twists. I am very excited to read more of this series, in part because I cannot wait for Karma to catch up with Abel’s father, Russell King. That will be a very happy day for me.

A Tale of Three Signings (Spring 2024 book signing recap)

  Over the past seven weeks I attended three book signings, each two weeks apart, I started at the Sweetgrass Author Event in Charleston, SC. From there I visited some family in West Virginia and Pennsylvania before my oldest daughter and I traveled to Ellicott City, MD, for Charm City Romanticon. After that, I returned home to Colorado before driving to Aurora for Readers Take Denver, where I was assisting Sara Madderson/Elodie Hart and also had a reader ticket. Below I will share some pictures and a recap of each signing as it was for me.  Sweetgrass was the fifth signing event I have attended that was put on by Southern Belles. It was also undoubtably the largest. With a stellar author lineup, there were a lot of tickets sold. In my opinion, probably too many. For a six hour signing, I was able to get to a shockingly few authors in my time there. They hit a few snags with this one.  First, let me talk about the city of Charleston.  Rich in history, with out of thi...

Best Reads of 2024

 It is 2025! It feels like 2024 flew by.  This year's "best of" list is a little different.  In part this is due to time constraints and in part due to the fact that some trope categories have a LOT of excellent reads.  I just could not narrow them down to even eight for the graphics. I obviously have my favorite tropes, as this list will tell you. If you don't see a trope here on this list, it may be that I read one and it just wasn't quite a five star read for me. Most of the books I read are either four or five star reads. I have found what I like, and I tend to stick to it. You can search the labels on the main page of my blog or search in the general search bar to pull up books from another category and read my reviews. If a book is on this list, it was a five star read for me. That means I loved it, I found no major flaws in timeline, editing, or characters, and I would want to read it again. The links I am including are for Amazon out of ease, but several o...

Book reviews from the week of May 19th

  Happy weekend. This week I read three ARCs and two books from my TBR.  All three ARCs will release the first week of June and the two books on my TBR have been on my kindle for a while. They served as perfect palette cleansers between these wonderful ARCs. Both books from my TBR offered heroines with disability. In The Marquess and I, Willow is blind. In Wolf Signs, the heroine is deaf. I felt like the authors handled both situations well within their stories and it made them interesting reads. Check out my reviews and add these to your TBR today if they grab you. I don't think you will regret it. Happy reading! My Royal Showmance (Park Avenue Promise #2)  by Lexi Blake ARC: Release Date- 06/04/2024 #Royal #SecretRomance #ARC Book two in the series is written in first person from Anika’s POV and ends in a HEA. It can be read as a standalone. If you love reality dating shows like The Bachelor, you are going to love this book. Luca, King of Ravalia, is looking for...
