Half-Light Harbor by Samantha Young

I went to Scotland looking for answers about my past. The last thing I expected was getting trapped on a private island with my stoic, brooding, gorgeous contractor.

Ramsay McRae is a man with secrets. He prefers the company of his dog to people and silence to any semblance of politeness. He says I’m too young, too sweet, too innocent.

Only he doesn’t know the truth. That I’m haunted by a crime that tore my life apart two years ago. I’ve come to Half-Light Harbor not just to start over, but to bring the monster who killed my parents to justice.

The last thing I need is a tortured Scot distracting me from my mission. But when his restraint snaps and my walls crumble, the results are explosive.

We say it’s only a no-strings-attached affair. A temporary moment to burn out this fire between us.

However, when my search for the truth brings danger to my door, it’s Ramsay stepping in to protect me. But it might be the secrets from his past that tear us apart forever…Download today or read for FREE with Kindle Unlimited

Play Fake by Lisa Suzanne


A spicy Pro Football, Best Friend’s Brother, Marriage of Convenience Romance from Amazon Top Ten Bestselling author Lisa Suzanne.

I was supposed to get married on national television.
Instead, I was humiliated at the altar and ran straight into bad boy pro football star Dex Bradley. Literally.

He’s my best friend’s grumpy older brother, and he needs a nanny for his surprise baby. I need to salvage my dignity.
One fake marriage later, we’ve got a deal.

It’s supposed to be strictly business. He’s off-limits.
But when he growls my name and looks at me like he wants to wreck what’s left of my innocence, I don’t want to be the good girl anymore.

He thinks I’m helping him. Between late-night feedings and very inappropriate thoughts, I think I’m the one in trouble.

We agreed to play fake to benefit us both, but now I’m in his bed, in too deep, and one step away from losing everything.

Chasing Love (Plain Daisy Ranch) by Piper Rayne

It was over between Bennett Owens and me—until I had no place to go but back to Willowbrook.

Seven years ago, he walked away, and I built a new life for myself, swearing never to look back. But when my husband is arrested, that life collapses, leaving my daughter and me with nothing but a three-month plan to return to the small ranch town before disappearing again.

Bennett’s a single dad now. Our girls become inseparable on sight, making it impossible to keep him at arm’s length. Especially when I end up working alongside him, where every glance chips away at the walls I’ve built.

The years apart haven’t dulled the pull between us. Bennett remains protective and patient, determined to prove that we deserve a second chance. But he has no idea about the secret I’ve kept since the day he left.

Because once he learns the truth, he may never forgive me. And like it or not, we’ll be bound together forever—by the daughter he never knew was his.

Pinch by Tia Louise

Lane "Gavin" Knight is the hottest new defenseman for the LA Champions hockey team.
He's my cousin Maverick's best friend, and by trick of fate, my new roommate.
But just because he caught me when I fell off the "Welcome Back" parade float in my International Princess crown doesn't mean he's a hero. 
I know him better than that.

Hayden "Haddy" Bradford is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. 
She's a princess, a brilliant scientist... And she hates me. 
Until a purple-drink-fueled Halloween hook-up changes both of our lives.
It's something I've wanted a long time, but I never dreamed I'd have it with her. 
Still, I'm the master of high-risk, high-reward plays, and I'll do what it takes to show her I'm not the man she thinks I am. 

I'm there for her every step of the way, supporting, holding her hand, doing my best to show her my true self.
I told her I'd catch her when she falls, but no one is catching me--and I'm falling fast.
I'm headed straight into the offensive zone. Everything I want is at stake, but I'm committed to this puck battle, and I intend to win.

(Pinch is a hockey romance with enemies to lovers, roommates to lovers, a cocky bad-boy Hero, a sassy STEM/pageant-princess FMC, an accidental pregnancy, foster dogs, family, and loads of spicy fun. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and no third-act breakup.)

Vivacity (Seraph #3) by Elodie Hart


Read in Kindle Unlimited Now:

 

Blurb: 

They've warned me in hushed tones that my new boss is a "profoundly complex man." It takes me approximately twenty minutes to establish that billionaire Ethan Kingsley is as straightforward as they come.

He's a walking, talking textbook on dysregulation. Its title? 
How to Lose Friends and Alienate People.

In the space of a year, he's burnt through one marriage and three executive assistants, and he's well on the road to messing up the only real thing in his life: his relationship with his teenage son.

He works too hard, and he numbs himself harder.

His anaesthetics of choice?

Workouts. Alcohol. Sex.
The more hardcore the better.

You get the idea?

This is where I come in.

I work for Seraph, an elite agency that places the most accomplished, beautiful women in the world with men who require a "full service" solution from their executive assistants and are willing to pay through the nose for it.

I can numb men with the best of them. I set about milking this guy until he's human jerky. With the way he looks, it's no hardship at all.

Handling him in Hot Asshole mode is a piece of cake. But as I work my fixer-upper magic and the true Ethan emerges from the ashes of his Dysfunctional Era, it becomes clear my Vulnerable Era is only just beginning...

Vivacity is a billionaire, single dad, grumpy sunshine, workplace romance with a big HEA. It can be read as a standalone or enjoyed as part of the Seraph series.

Blurb:
Coaching in the women’s hockey league is my dream. What I didn’t plan on? Having to coach my ex…
When I took the job with the Toronto Rosebuds hockey team, I never thought I’d be reunited with the woman that ruined me for all others.
Lydia Bishop.
Playing hockey and Lydia are my past. My future is with this new team. Lydia is a distraction I can’t afford.
The more time I spend with Lydia, the more I realize I might not be as over her as I thought. Until one night, we cross aline. A line I don’t want to come back from.
She’s my player. I can’t be seen with her. Sneaking around is our only option until the world finds out about us and I’m forced to choose.
The future I’ve always wanted or the past I don’t want to let go of.
I am so pucking screwed…


All This Time (Blossom Peak #1) by Harlow James

Blurb:

Fletcher Adams is not just the man that stole my heart at fifteen and never gave it back.

He’s also my brother’s best friend, and now one of the most famous players in the NFL.

But now he’s back in Blossom Peak for our mutual friend’s wedding, and guess who are the maid of honor and best man?

That would be us.

I’ve spent the past twelve years ignoring what happened between us that fateful night, and avoiding him as much as possible when he did pop into town to visit.

But now he’s everywhere.

In my salon getting a massage to support my business.

Participating in yoga to support my family’s winery.

And even hacking into my phone to monitor my glucose—which makes me furious and also a little bit weak in the knees.

Then he finds out that my ex-fiancé never satisfied me in the bedroom, so he instantly volunteers for the job.

Turns out time couldn’t snuff the flames that still burned between us.

But Fletcher has demons from his past he hasn’t faced, the kind that you can try to bury but always manage to get washed up in a storm.

And this storm just might destroy us both.

There’s one thing we can’t deny however, even though we try—feelings still matter, even after all this time.

The Substitute by J.R. Gray & Andi Jaxon

 

Competing with my step-brother for my roommates attention makes me hate him so much more than I already do.

 

The Substitute, an all-new grumpy x sunshine, step-brother, MMM hockey romance from bestselling authors Andi Jaxon and J.R. Gray is now available!

I saved his life the same night I burned mine to the ground and now the guy who’s haunted my dreams for months is my new roommate. This should be great except I met him on the worst night of his life and all he sees is that I’m a hockey player.

Only made worse when my cocky, confident, infuriating step-brother, Savage, decides to flirt with Tobi to get under my skin.

Jealousy eats at me when I see life coming back into Tobi’s eyes when he smiles at his phone.

Savage knows it too, pushing me into competing for Tobi until my head is so twisted I don’t know what or who I want anymore.

Now I have to see his pretty face at my door and on the ice.

I can’t have my dream and both of them. The media will eat me alive.

Right?

Beyond the Blue Horizon by A.L. Jackson


I should have known I’d break the promise I made when I found her stranded in a blizzard…

Feisty as hell and the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen.

With the cutest kid and her grandmother in tow, she’s completely off limits.

I don't get involved with women like that.

I learned long ago I don't have the ability to love.

My life is sordid and danger is always hiding in the shadows.

Only I can’t turn my back on them when I realize she’s in trouble, and I insist on them staying in a cabin at the motel I own.

As penance for my sins, I promised my life to protecting others.

Except she becomes so much more.

A need I don’t recognize. A desperation that burns beneath my flesh.

One kiss, and I’m falling for her.

One touch, and I’m at her feet.

But when my dark past comes back to haunt me, I’m in a race against time to save the only woman I’ve ever loved. Only it may be the demons that have been chasing her that destroy what we built…


Tropes:

💙 Single mom⁠
🪵 Motel shenanigans⁠
💙 Heroine in hiding⁠
🪵 Hate to love⁠
💙 He falls first⁠
🪵 Touch her and ☠️
💙 Band of brothers⁠
🪵 Morally gray hero⁠
💙 Secret society⁠
🪵 Small town⁠

Top Shelf by Teagan Hunter


I have two goals this season:
1. Prove to the Seattle Serpents I’m more than just the old guy.
2. Don’t fall for my captain’s stepsister.

In my defense, I had no clue who Vanessa was when we met. We were in a different city. How was I supposed to know she’s my teammate’s stepsister?

Now she’s in Seattle, still healing from her divorce, and apparently, she’s here to stay. That would be fine if I didn’t still think about our night together every waking hour. Thing is, I do think about it—constantly—and then when I find out she needs a place to live, I offer my spare room.

We’re roommates, and that’s it. Until it isn’t.

We’re just having fun, that’s all. Except nothing feels like just fun. It feels far too real and far too serious, and her stepbrother has no idea about us living together or that I’m slowly falling for her.

So much for focusing on the season…

My Favorite Hero by Melanie Moreland


In a house full of rules, the only one they can't follow… is staying away.


Jesse Thorne

Local hero, firefighter, loner, and now grumpy landlord.

She wasn’t what he expected.

His new tenant is a walking disaster wrapped in sunshine, breaking every rule he sets and driving him insane.

Controlling her? Impossible.

Ignoring her? Even harder.

And he’s not sure he can stop it.

She’s under his skin, melting his frozen walls, and making him question everything—including his stubborn heart.

Casey Lawson

Roamer, IT specialist, current tenant, and golden ray of trouble.

Her new landlord is a thorn in her side with his never-ending house rules.

He’s always there when things go wrong—rescuing her with his strong arms and that sexy, smug smile. Breaking down her defenses, one gesture, one growl at a time.

They love to argue, but the chemistry between them is undeniable.

And when they give in, it’s explosive.

Can they escape the fire without getting burned?

Author's Note: If you love explosive chemistry, fiery banter, and a grumpy firefighter who always saves the girl, My Favorite Hero delivers all the heat and heart you crave–grab it now before Jesse Thorne steals someone else's.

Blurb:

What happens when a happy-go-lucky guy’s luck takes a leap off a pier?
Answer: Six jillion weddings the same month I get dumped.
At least I’m not alone.
My best pal got the boot from her boyfriend, which is nuts.
Erika’s funny and hot in that I-can-fix-your-transmission way.
She’s too good for that guy.
Way too good for pity parties from my meddling twin.
Protecting us both means telling a little white lie.
A fake relationship gives us dates for gobs of giddy, small-town weddings.
Someone to laugh with over risqué buffets and only-one-bed fiascos.
Someone who knows me better than anyone, which…okay, awkward.
I’ve got baggage, you know?
But fake dating Erika feels more fun than drag karaoke at my brewpub.
We’re just friends—nothing sexy between us.
Well, maybe 
once, but it’s part of the act, right?
I’m suddenly not sure what’s real anymore.
Because now that I know how perfect she feels in my arms,
our whole plan starts to unravel.
Then our exes throw us a curveball.
Before we know it, our make-believe love
careens on a collision course to genuine heartache.
One click this fake dating, friends-to-lovers romantic comedy with two small-town best friends falling head over heels for real.

Book reviews for books read May 3rd - May 10th

  Happy weekend!  I read two ARCs this week. They were both very different and both very good. Marika Ray's new book is going to be the perfect summer read. Take it to the lake or the beach and fully enjoy the quirky romance between Maple and Holt. I promise you will adore the meddling seniors along the way. Then I read an arc by a debut author and it knocked  my socks off. When was the last time you got a book hangover from a brand new author? Yeah, it is a rare thing but it happened to me this week.  Check my reviews and add these to your TBR. You wont be sorry. Until next time, happy reading. Anchored by Marika Ray ARC: Release Date- 05/13/2025 #FakeRelationship #ForcedProximity #SmallTown #SecondChance #ARC I am voluntarily leaving this honest review after receiving an advance reader copy of the book. This standalone is written in first person from an alternating dual POV and ends with a HEA. Maple (32) is having a crisis of confidence due to many factors when sh...

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 for books read May 11th-25th

  I read three ARCs and 2 books from my TBR in the last 2 weeks. I feel good about that considering that life at home has been pretty full lately. May has been an excellent reading month for me. There are so many good releases right now, it is impossible for me to keep up. These are all worth adding to your TBR. Check my reviews and add them to your list. Until next time, happy reading. Built To Last (Park Avenue Promise #3) by Lexi Blake ARC: Release Date- 05/27/2025 #EnemiesToLovers #Celebrity #Workplace  #ARC I am voluntarily leaving this honest review after receiving an advance reader copy of the book. This is the third book in the series, and it is written in first person from Harper’s POV. This book is driven heavily by dialogue, and I personally did not miss having the male POV. Though it fully contains the love story of Harper and Reid, I think readers will gain the most value from reading this series in order. The friendship and found family relationship between Ivy, ...
