Cover Reveal ~ Humility by Lark Taylor

06/27/2024

Blurb:

Two commitment phobes. One ridiculous plan. A decision that changes everything…

Riley

If a no-strings hook-up is required, then I’m the perfect guy. 

When I meet Danny, I can’t believe my luck. A sexy wolf shifter who’s also a fireman? Who runs from relationships just as fast as I do? Sign me up. 

 The night that follows is one for the history books, and the best part? Neither of us is looking for a repeat.

 That doesn’t mean we don’t see each other again. Without even realising it, we become friends. Friends who do everything together. 

Everything with Danny is perfect. But when I start to yearn for more from my hook-ups, I know something needs to change.

So, I come up with a plan. A genius plan. I sign up for an app that arranges anonymous encounters. No names. No faces shown. 

No danger of pesky feelings getting involved.

What could possibly go wrong?

Danny

Unlike Riley, my desire to avoid a relationship has nothing to do with commitment issues. 

Taking a mate would mean returning to the clan who betrayed me. I’d have to leave behind this life I’ve built, a life I’m very happy with. One where Riley occupies most of my free time.

Everything is going swimmingly until Riley tells me his plan. His genius plan, he calls it. He can’t see it for what I can – an idiotic idea that’ll land him in danger.

I can’t let him go through with it. My wolf won’t allow it. Problem is, Riley’s as stubborn as they come. Once he’s decided on something, there’s no changing his mind.

Not wanting him in danger, I realise there’s only one thing I can do. One thing that’ll keep Riley happy while also keeping him safe.

 I can be his anonymous hook up.

It’s idiot proof. At least, it would be, if I wasn’t an idiot.

 Turns out Riley isn’t the only one who should be scared of hooking up and realising you want more. 

 

Humility is the thrilling fourth instalment in the Damned Connections series and can be read as a standalone. Featuring a wolf shifter x human pairing, this spicy MM PNR romance will make you laugh and cry. Each book follows a different couple with a guaranteed HEA.

BURNING THE MIDNIGHT OIL

Ashley James

Release Date: June 7

Blurb:

Rule number one: Don’t fall for my brother in law. 

It should be easy, right? 

Wrong.

When I moved in with my sister over summer break, I had no intention of returning to college in the fall. A work trip for her meant a lot of time alone for me with her husband. Boone Stanton. World famous bull rider and way, way off limits. 

A few late night, deep conversations between the two of us, only the midnight sky our witness, and suddenly, I can’t look away. Can’t keep my mind off of him. 

It’s in the way he works around the yard, sweaty and shirtless. The way his eyes soften and he leans into his playful side around his daughter. And it’s in the way he makes me feel seen. The way he’s slowly chipping away at my exterior without even realizing it. 

Then one night I see something I shouldn’t. Something that makes my mouth water and my heart race. Except when he catches me, instead of stopping and reprimanding me, he… keeps going. 

Now, I have the opportunity of a lifetime but it means going on the road with him. It means living in even closer quarters than before. It also means doubling down on keeping my hands to myself and my gaze away from his dark, observing eyes. 

But I’m only human, and it’s only a matter of time before I crack. Before I give in and do something I can’t take back. 

Something that could cost me everything.

LIGHTS, CAMERA, PASSION

Isabel Lucero

Release Date: April 8

 

Blurb:

Playing a lead role in a book-to-movie adaptation with a wild fan base? Sign me up! The only downside is that I’m cast alongside Jacoby “Heartthrob” Hart—Hollywood’s golden boy. If only they knew he was an uppity, pompous snob. 

We don’t get along, and if you’re reading the tabloids, you’d assume it was because I “stole” his girlfriend, but they have it all wrong. Jacoby and his cold shoulder started this, and now we’re set to play lovers. The only thing I’d love to do is strangle him, but I’m a professional. 

Behind the scenes, we’re either bickering or avoiding each other, but when the cameras start rolling, I can’t believe how much chemistry we have. 

One night, during a passionate argument, something happens that I never anticipated. The chemistry that started out as an act turns into much more behind closed doors, but we both have secrets, and Hollywood is a hard place to keep those.

THE CARETAKER

C.P. Harris

Release Date: March 28

Blurb:

The only thing Noon Waters is sure of is his undying love for his wife. But when a devastating accident ripped both her and a good deal of his memories away from him, he’s left to navigate a new life weighed down by grief, anger, and confusion. 

After stumbling upon an old receipt dated one day prior to the tragic event, Noon’s curiosity leads him to Haley Cove, a place he can’t remember but is somehow certain holds the key to regaining his forgotten years. 

So focused on the memories he hopes to recapture, Noon is wholly unprepared for the oddly familiar stranger he finds there instead. As a tentative friendship blooms, Noon’s reasons for being in the quaint town become less clear. What starts as a quest for answers ends with a revelation that’s too painful to bear. 

What happens when the beautiful life you thought you had lived was a lie, but that lie is all you can remember?

DIRT ROAD SECRETS

Ashley James

Release Date: March 22

 

Blurb:

I’m a country boy, born and raised. He’s new in town and all city. 

Bronc riding has always been my main focus, the plan simple: Work hard, go pro, show the world what I was made of. It hasn’t been easy, but I did it through dedication and a whole lot of determination. 

My dreams came true, my life more than fulfilled… Or so I thought. 

I never knew how much I ached for more until I stopped to help a stranger on the side of a one lane road one chilly, fall afternoon. 

He couldn’t be more different than me, with his messy curls and the chipped black polish. 

But from the moment he fumbled over his words, flustered and tense, sitting in the driver’s seat of his broken down ride, I knew I wanted to know more. Know everything. 

This all-consuming need to get to know him, to get close to him is new. 

He’s only in town for a short while, Copper Lake merely a temporary stop. 

Getting close to him is foolish… But there’s no way I can stop it. Not when he makes me feel things I’ve never felt before.

What happens when he goes back to the city and I’m left in the dust watching his tail lights disappear down the dirt road?

Review Tour ~ Eight Seconds to Remember by Ashley James

01/07/2024
Release Date: January 5

 A steamy one night stand in the bathroom of a bar in Las Vegas after a world championship win? Yes, please. 

 

Meeting him again months later, only to learn he’s my newest competition? Not so much. 

 

The weight of the legacy I carry is a constant tug in my mind, with the ghosts of the generations before me always whispering for me to push harder, train longer, be better. 

In the eight seconds I have to ride, everything else falls away and my sole focus is on doing what I do best. 

 

I am Shooter Graham, consecutive three time world champion bronc rider. No one has ever come close to taking the title since I’ve had it… until him.

 

Sterling Addams. The new cowboy in town with dark hair, eyes like honey, and a taste for me he likes to pretend he doesn’t have. 

 

He’s green… but he’s good. Too good. 

Suddenly, the already heavy pressure I’m under multiplies tenfold. The need to beat him, the uncontrollable urge to put him in his place, becomes almost an obsession.

 

The question is, how far will I go to prove I’m number one?

Book Review ~ Unloved by Marley Valentine

01/05/2024
Release Date: December 21

From USA Today bestselling author Marley Valentine comes an all new emotional, hurt/comfort, polyamorous romance. 

 

We longed. We lost. We loved. Desperately.

 

I thought I had my life all figured out. But after a college football accident leaves me deaf, I was learning how to live all over again. 

 

I expected the anger, the frustration, and the struggle to readjust, but what I didn’t expect to happen amongst the chaos, was to fall in love. 

 

Especially not with two men.  

 

Rough-edged puzzle pieces, Rhys, Samuel, and I were nothing but aching memories, painful realities, and hidden scars. 

 

We were products of our pasts, abandoned and unloved, messy and complicated. Individually we had baggage; together we had mountains to climb. 

 

But when the three of us were tangled up in one another, spilling secrets in the dark, hearts beating in sync, nothing else mattered but them. 

 

We needed to break the cycle, because they deserved love… And who knows, maybe I finally did too.

Release Blitz ~ The Fishermen by C.P. Harris (Review)

10/26/2023
Release Date: October 26

 

 At the age of twenty-five, Leland Meadows has his whole life mapped out in front of him, with four rules to live by:

No new friends.

No dreams or aspirations.

No repeat hookups.

And definitely no committed relationships.

Leland’s looking for safety, not heartbreak and disappointment. Then one day he receives an offer he can’t turn down. Rent is due, and the catering company his best friend’s sister works for is suddenly one server short for the biggest event of the year. Leland accepts the job—but those rules he’s been so careful to follow? They don’t stand a chance against Franklin Kincaid.

At forty-five, the lie Franklin Kincaid has been living his entire life catches up with him.

His job no longer fulfills him—if it ever had.

His marriage is in crisis.

His heart yearns for something he can’t identify—or maybe he’s just too terrified to admit it. 

And his children are clueless about all of it.

On a cold and lonely night, Franklin’s search for courage leads him to a rooftop in downtown Seattle, where he finds Leland Meadows instead. 

Neither of them would ever be the same again.

The Fishermen is a best friend’s dad MM romance and Book 2 in the Infidelity series. It ends with a HEA, and can be read as a stand-alone but may be better enjoyed if read in series order. Themes include age-gap, possessiveness, hurt/comfort, and second chances. Both MCs are consenting adults. Please use the “Look Inside” feature for a full list of content warnings.

Release Date: September 6

 

 

 Arrogant. Repulsive. Cocky.

 

With an ego almost as big as his… Well, you know. 

There is no length he wouldn’t go to score.

To be in control.

To win.

Life is nothing but a game to him, and I’ve become nothing more than his little pawn.

Something to toy with.

To taunt. 

To mess with. And to hurt. 

The wicked smirk on his face as he helped upend my entire life is proof of that. 

He wants to push me to my limit until I’m begging for reprieve.

For mercy. 

Or for more.

Mateo Rojas is a force to be reckoned with. 

He’s everything I should run from.

And he will be my ruin. 

*Say My Name is an MM full-length, standalone novel that was originally part of the Anti-Valentine Anthology as a novella. This novel features a hate-to-love, forced proximity romance that is intended for audiences 18+.

Release Blitz ~ Splintered by Isabel Lucero

08/15/2023
 Release Date: August 15

Welcome to Black Diamond Resort and Spa—the best place to go when all you want to do is disappear and not have anyone expect anything of you.

Overwhelmed with work and feeling like I’m being pulled in multiple directions at once, I crave the serenity a private island holds for me. As a very recognizable figure in the adult film industry, I’m used to shelling out parts of myself for the sake of others. Everyone wants more pictures, videos, and more of my time and energy. Though I’ve created an empire that has made me lots of money in a business I enjoy, I still desire a break.

 

Sandy beaches, fruity drinks, and turquoise waters are all I expected from this trip. I definitely didn’t anticipate running into my high school crush—the jock that never once looked at me the way I wanted him to.

 

Jarrod Bivens is now the star goalie of the San Jose Bobcats, and the person half the world is blaming for his team losing in the playoffs. Clearly here for his own escape, our chance encounter ignites an instant friendship. With each day on the island, I realize my crush is far from gone, but Jarrod’s known for only dating Hollywood starlets, so he’s obviously straight. Maybe those lingering gazes and small touches are all in my head.

 

But one day, something interesting arises between us—a moment I couldn’t have prepared myself for. Our mounting tension finally snaps, but little did I know it was only the beginning of a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Our chemistry is undeniable, but the real world awaits, and life off the island is bound to be much different. How can two people from completely different worlds ever make it work?
