Merry With Me by Kaylee Ryan - ARC Review & Release Blitz




Blakely

When my boss tells me I’m taking over the planning of the annual Christmas gala, I can barely

contain my excitement. Not only is it a huge opportunity, but I also love all things Christmas.

I’m on cloud nine until I realize I have to work closely with the grumpy doctor, who is my

opposite in every way. He loathes the holidays. At least that’s what he says. His eyes tell me a

different story.

That’s why I make it my mission to make him fall in love with Christmas. That’s our family motto

after all. I’ll make him love the holidays harder than ever before. How hard can it be?


Oliver

My contract states I have to serve on a committee. When I fail to submit which committee I’d

like to work on, I’m assigned the Christmas gala. Me… the guy who detests the holiday.

In years past, I let the marketing manager handle it all. I was there if she needed me. She never

did. I expected more of the same this year, but it turns out, I get more than I bargained for. I

didn’t anticipate her. Miss Ray of Sunshine, assistant manager.

That’s how I find myself attending holiday events and attaching myself to her any way I can.

She’s trying to make me fall in love with Christmas. Instead, I’m falling in love with her.

Unexpected Proof by Dani Grimes - ARC Review & Release Blitz


Sutton Acker has had a terrible year. After her fiancé cheats on her and her grandmother passes away, she can't stop thinking about a love story her grandmother used to share about a Jewish woman living in Europe during World War II who unexpectedly fell in love with an American solider only to lose him just as suddenly. It's a story Sutton knows well, having seen her grandmother grieve this man for most of her life.

Despite being a high-powered, divorce attorney in New York City with little hope of finding true love, Sutton has always clung to her grandmother's story as proof that love does exist. But as the reality of finding true love feels more and more unlikely, Sutton decides to look up the soldier her grandmother spoke about. When she surprisingly finds out that he's alive and living in Boston, she arranges to work remotely for several weeks to go in search of proof that the love her grandmother told her about was real.

Adrian Harrison is still dealing with the fallout of his recent divorce from a woman he never should have married. Despite his sister's occasional meddling in his love life--or lack thereof--and his ex-wife's recent scheme, he's moved on and has a thriving business. His troublesome ex becomes the least of his problems when Sutton walks into his bar making demands and sending his heart racing with irritation.

Sutton isn't leaving Boston--or apparently, his bar--until she gets the proof she came to find. But maybe she'll find what she's looking for in the most unexpected of places.

Brutal Bargain by Laurelin Paige - ARC Review & Release Blitz





She needs a husband. He won’t let anyone else have her.

Ax Morgan has played many roles in my life: My brother’s best friend. The most notorious member of the Sebastian News Corp executive team. My enemy with benefits.

But my husband?

No thanks.

Our after hours scenes are simply a convenient way for me to blow off steam while I plot my exit from my toxic family’s company.

But when I need a groom so I can claim my inheritance, he presents me with a choice that’s more like blackmail—marry him, or he’ll sabotage me. So between the devil and the deep blue sea, I let the devil put a ring on it.

Turns out this is the role he plays best of all.

The worst part of pretending with Ax is how real it's starting to feel.

Now my future is in his hands. And if he finds out what I'm planning, he'll be the one with the impossible choice. Who loses everything—his best friend or his fake wife?

The Way We Play by Tia Louise - ARC Review & Release Blitz


He’s a grumpy, retired kicker who says he only breaks things. I’m a thirty-year-old virgin with something he can break (and I don’t mean my heart)…

How does one get to be a thirty-year-old virgin?

In my case, start with being risk-averse and cautious, focused on building your career, then inherit your 12-year-old, special-needs brother. Done!

Zane Bradford appeared at the perfect time.

He takes my brother to equine therapy, he gives me rides to work, and he rescues me when I collapse in the shower. (Yes, he saw me naked.)

He says he only breaks things, but I only see him fixing everything. Heck, his job is as a repair man.

This grumpy, angry god with lean muscles, silky dark hair, and ice blue eyes has taken himself out of the game.

But massage therapy is my job, and I’m ready to play.

Rachel Wells is ruining everything.

She walks into my workplace and argues with me, talks back, defends herself.

She gives me romance books to “improve my mood,” and insists on massage therapy to ease my pain.

Chronic pain isn’t my problem—she is, with her bright green eyes and sassy attitude.

Then she tells me she’s never been kissed. (What’s wrong with the men in Birmingham?)

The more she tempts me, the more I feel my resolve weakening.

She wants to play, but I’m not going to break.
