Love You, Mean It by Laura Pavlov

Set in the wild beauty of the Last Frontier, this heartwarming grumpy-sunshine romance from bestselling author Laura Pavlov lights a spark between a fiery wedding planner and a single-dad contractor.


My new landlord's a real hard-ass. And I can't keep my hands off him.

Charlie Huxley's the best–and grumpiest–general contractor in Blushing, Alaska. He built the venue for the wedding planning business my bestie and I share. After I accidentally flood my home, he offers me his guesthouse while he handles the repairs. But when he starts to take charge, I feel myself losing control.

Unable to resist, we casually hook up. We both know once will never be enough.

Between us, we carry plenty of baggage. I've got the absent father, drunk mother, and estranged sister. He grew up in foster care and is single-handedly raising a daughter whose mom visits just once a year.

But Charlie makes me feel like I belong. And for the first time ever, I picture myself with a real family.

Before I go all in, I need to learn to set some boundaries.

Question is: Am I strong enough?

Sleigh Bells and Snow Storms by Claire Kingsley

From USA Today Bestselling author Claire Kingsley, the stand-alone small-town/romcom/romantic suspense/Christmas romance you didn't know you needed.

Handsome, charismatic, and charming, Jensen Lakes is an enigma in a designer suit. But his playboy reputation is a persona-one of many-that he uses in his unique line of work.

A priceless heirloom goes missing right before the holidays, and Jensen is hired to find it. Tracking down the perpetrator will be simple. He'll be in and out before Santa hits chimneys.

Natalie Thatcher needs a break. She's a dedicated sister, aunt, and nurse, but her life is no Christmas carol. Between bills, mounting home repairs, and holiday shopping still to be done, most days she feels like a tangled strand of lights.

Jensen follows his quarry to Tilikum, and the Christmas-clad town throws him for a loop. As does Natalie. He enlists her aid-who better to help him navigate the local quirks than the captivating woman next door? Despite their chemistry and sizzling banter, love isn't on his Christmas list. Or hers.

But as danger mounts, Jensen finds himself in an unexpected position-falling in love with his partner. And when her life is on the line, he'll risk everything to keep her safe.

And get her home for Christmas.

Author's Note: A handsome charmer falls hard for a sassy small-town girl. Adventure, witty banter, Christmas coziness, and a holiday happily ever after that will leave your heart full.



Vixen's Guide to Christmas by Chelle Sloan


GUIDE TO LOVE (& CHRISTMAS) RULE #27: Make your list. Check it twice. Because Santa knows how naughty you've been. 

 

I haven't written a letter to Santa since I was eight years old, but maybe this year I need to.  

 

Dear Santa, 

I promise, no matter what "he" told you, I've been good this year. 

I didn't know he was my business rival when I slept with him. 

I didn't know he hated me. Though, he didn't know it either. 

And I didn't know that we would get snowed-in together in the mountains. In one hotel room. With one bed. 

Anything that has been deemed naughty by the infuriatingly sexy man is accidental. 

But maybe look into him. You know. To check it twice and all. 

Signed, an apparent Vixen

Blurb:

Wanted: one fake boyfriend for the holiday season.

There are few things I need more in life than my work and my friends. Sure, I’m inexperienced in all things love, but who cares? My life is good.

When my coworkers try to set me up, I invent a fake boyfriend to get them off my back. But when the company holiday party comes around, I need a real boyfriend.

Who does a man turn to in his moment of need?

His best friend.

Hunter is the perfect person to help. One night. That’s it. We can pretend to date for a few hours. But when Hunter needs me to return the favor, it all starts to come too easily.

Kissing. Holding hands. Feelings. I want to experience everything with Hunter.

Can we keep this going after the holidays?

Maybe it’s time to make this whole fake relationship real…


November 11th:


Brooke's Bliss by Lexi Blake

Brooke Harper thought she would make it big in New York City, but she knew her heart would always be back in her hometown of Bliss, Colorado. She'd intended to come home as the big-shot fashion designer she'd always wanted to be, but her dream job turned into a nightmare, and now she's crawling home to lick her wounds. When she meets up with two hot cowboys one night at Hell on Wheels, she decides they're just what she needs to get her groove back.

Bailey Kent hasn't stopped thinking about Brooke since he met her years before when he first visited Bliss. She's his dream woman, and now she's within reach. She responds so beautifully not only to him, but to his brother. They've shared women all their lives, but both know Brooke is the one. There's only one problem. She's his muse, but she sees him as a way station, not the destination on this journey she's taking.

Only one problem? Shane Kent knows his brother sometimes doesn't see the bigger picture. Bay's head and heart are wrapped up in his art, and it's Shane's job to remember the reality of whatever situation they're in, and this time it's big trouble. Their last job took them to a ranch that might have been selling more than cattle. Shane witnessed something criminal and they ran, but their old crew is looking for them and he's worried they'll find Brooke, too. And then there's the fact that they once hit on her sister-in-law and her brothers hate them...

It'll take a miracle to bring these three together, so it's a good thing Bliss is known for them.

Three Pucking Words by B. Celeste


Bodhi Hoffman’s life has always been centered around two things: his daughter and his hockey career.
But then he meets Honor Erikson—a curvy redhead with an aversion to athletes despite being the coach’s daughter. Or maybe, as he learns, it’s just an aversion to him.
Suddenly, the NHL’s best right-winger is wondering if he can make room in his life for the mysterious woman and her service dog. That is, if she’ll let him.
Because the secrets that Honor holds onto are meant to keep the famous hockey player at arm’s length. But fate and her father have other plans.

Yule Be Mine by Piper Rayne


When workaholic best man Carter arrives in Mistletoe Falls for his best friends’ Christmas wedding, a town-wide Santa Festival and a misplaced motel reservation leave him with one option—beg the woman he once rejected for a room at her bed-and-breakfast. Unfortunately, that woman also happens to be the bride’s sister…and the maid of honor.

To make matters worse, the bride and groom are delayed, turning Ashley and Carter into last-minute wedding planners, forced into a truce neither of them wants. But late-night checklists, a blizzard of holiday activities, and a charming small town turn their snark into sparks.

When they get snowed in and every near-kiss feels dangerously close to something real, Carter realizes there’s more to December than year-end deadlines.

As their truce melts, one question remains—is this a holiday fling, or the start of forever?

Blurb: 

I train horses, not broken men. That’s what I tell myself the day Bryce Raintree walks into my arena—cocky, bruised, and dragging his ego behind him like it’s been trampled in the dust. He’s a bull rider who’s lost his edge. His team sends him to me to get it back.

 

He doesn’t like being told what to do, especially not by a woman like me. But under all that attitude, there’s a storm brewing. And I can’t seem to walk away.

I’ve spent my life in the saddle, doing what needs to be done after losing our mom and stepping up on the ranch. I don’t fix cowboys. But maybe… I don’t have to. Maybe he’s not the only one who needs saving.

Duke (Lucky Rivers Ranch) by Jessica Peterson

One chance meeting on a Texas ranch.

One wild, too-charming cowboy.

One snowed-in night that changes everything.

Wheeler Rankin isn’t here for romance—she’s come to Lucky River Ranch to visit her best friend, wrangle a business deal, and prove herself to everyone who ever doubted her. But when she collides with Duke Rivers—resident heartbreaker, restless cowboy, and brother to her best friend’s new flame—sparks fly hotter than a Texas summer.

Duke has always dreamed of more than dusty trails and small-town life. He’s itching to see the world, but one unforgettable night with Wheeler changes his course. When a blizzard and a business road trip leave them stranded together, their no-strings flirtation ignites into something deeper.

But passion brings complications—and unexpected news threatens to upend everything Wheeler’s built. As family pressures, old wounds, and new dreams collide, Duke is determined to stand by her side, ready to forge a future neither of them ever imagined.

Can two fiercely independent souls trust in love, face their fears, and find home in each other’s arms? Or will the ghosts of the past keep them apart for good?

Welcome back to Hartsville, where family is found, love is hard-won, and every cowboy has a story worth telling.

Chasing Home (Plain Daisy Ranch) by Piper Rayne


It was straight out of a rom-com—until two pink lines changed everything.


Zander Shaw is country music’s hottest star. So, when he singled me out of a packed arena and had me pulled backstage, I should’ve known I wasn’t his forever. One signed NDA later, I was sneaking onto his tour bus, wrapped up in his world, and him. But it ended before it really started when he ghosted me.


Then he shows up on my family’s ranch to film his new music video, a surprise to us both. Now I’m his appointed tour guide around the ranch, stuck sharing all my favorite places with the man who carelessly discarded me.


The more time we spend together, the harder it is to guard my heart because his flirty half-smile makes me forget my anger. But Zander’s made it clear, he’s not looking to ride out into the sunset with anyone.


Which would be fine… if I wasn’t carrying his baby.

The Flirting Game (Love and Hockey #6) 
by Lauren Blakely


Blurb:

My new neighbor is a hot, grumpy hockey player who works out shirtless on his porch every morning. But it’s not technically spying if I just happen to be on my patio at the same time … right?

Imagine my surprise when the sexy grouch turns out to be the client who just hired me to redecorate the house he’s giving his mom.

What’s a ray of sunshine like me to do? Pretend I’ve never noticed his abs while we pick out furniture—since I’d never date a client. And Ford Devon? He’s made it clear this is his final season, and he wants zero distractions.

Which means I need to exercise some serious resistance …

To his cool blue eyes that track my every move.

To that deep voice that makes me shiver.

And to the mouth that shuts me up one night in our shared backyard with a scorching kiss.

Oops.

We agree it’s a one-time slip up. But when he insists on being my date to my cheating ex’s party … we slip up again into a very fun sleepover. With our dogs watching!

One fake date at a charity gala turns into another at a hockey game, and somewhere between fabric swatches and porch picnics, I stop pretending.

But how do I convince Ford that with me, he can have both love and hockey?

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, ...
