She’s a high-tech boss who lost it all…

Ivy Jensen was the darling of the tech world, right up until her company fell apart completely after she trusted the wrong person. Her reputation in tatters, she finds herself back in the tiny apartment she grew up in, living with her mom. When a group of angel investors offer her a meeting, she knows she has to come up with the new big idea or her career is over.

He’s an up and coming coder…

Heath Marino has always been fascinated with writing code. He’s worked on a dozen games and apps and is considered one of the industry’s more eccentric talents. But now he’s back in New York to spend time with his grandmother. She was known as one of the city’s greatest matchmakers, and he wants to know why. Surely there’s some kind of code in his grandmother’s methods, and he’s going to find them.

When Ivy meets Heath it’s instant attraction, but she’s got a career to get back to and he just might be her on-ramp. It could be a perfect partnership or absolute heartbreak.

The Royal by Susan Stoker - ARC Review

In this modern Cinderella story, New York Times bestselling author Susan Stoker weaves a tale of stepfamilies, stalkers, and a suspenseful, sweeping romance that proves true love can conquer all.

Former military man and member of a royal family Callum Redmon can’t deny his sense of responsibility. So when his cousin’s latest love interest claims to have a stalker, Cal reluctantly meets with the young woman and her mother. He wants to write off the situation as a complete farce—if only his feelings for another member of the household could be as easily dismissed.

Since her father’s death seventeen years ago, Juniper Rose has been at the cruel beck and call of her stepmother and stepsister. Her fantasies of escape mean leaving behind her father’s beloved home, but enough is enough: when Cal offers her a way out sooner rather than later, June takes the leap.

Cal’s home in Maine with his military brothers seems like the safest place to start fresh. But as Cal and June’s fairy-tale romance blossoms into something real, they find that the dangers stalking them may have been real all along.

Tempt Me Forever by Layla Hagen - ARC Review & Release Blitz

Two enemies. One bed. What could possibly go wrong?

Our new general manager is the most difficult man on the planet. The night before Drake begins working at my family's hotel, he finds me in the bar, trying to get rid of a boring date. But the guy won’t take even a not-so-subtle hint.

Then Drake surprises me and comes to our table, but only to reprimand ME about dating in our workplace.

The asshat! I swear he thinks he can get away with it only because of those smoldering green eyes. Well, they don’t affect me. Nope, not at all.

He may be Mr. McDreamy, but he doesn’t know who he’s dealing with. I give as good as I get.

As we scout a location for a new hotel in Aspen, things really come to a head—just not in the way I imagined.

When our reservations get mixed up and we end up in the same room—sharing one bed—Drake confesses that he crashed my date because he couldn’t stand seeing me with another man. He wants me all for himself.

I don’t want to want him. Besides, the hotel needs him, and so does my family. But as I give in to the temptation that is Drake DuGray, things get deliciously complicated… in more ways than one.

Mine to Take by Natasha Madison - ARC Review & Release Blitz

  

From Wall Street Journal & USA Today bestselling author Natasha Madison comes a stand-alone small-town, second-chance sports romance. 

When two worlds crossover. From the This Is Series and The Southern Series. Things are supposed to go smoothly on your wedding day. Aren't they? 

Sofia Barnes 

I’ve always loved to play dress-up. Creating fake weddings was my childhood pastime. Now it is my dream come true. 

I’ve finally been handed my first client. But nothing could prepare me for who greeted me when I walked in. He was my first kiss, my first everything, including my first and only heartbreak. Now I have to plan his wedding. 

Matthew Petrov 

My family is filled with hockey royalty. From my grandfather to my uncle to my father. Now it is my turn to work my way up the leaderboard. I had everything that I’ve ever wanted in my life. Or so I thought. 

Nothing could prepare me for coming face-to-face with Sofia. I knew her inside and out. She knew my inner secrets. Two years ago, I let her go, and now she’s planning my wedding to someone else. They say time heals old wounds. They lied. Maybe she was just mine to take. 

Oh this one was fun.  Angsty without being so angsty that you need to take a break.

Sofia and Matthew were soulmates who messed things up 2 years ago.  Well, really, Matthew messed them up, but regardless, they are no longer together...until Matthew chooses her company to help plan his wedding.

And, the new woman in his life has no idea who Sofia is...so, that's awkward.

I liked the way this was handled, the way it allows him to see what was missing in his current relationship while knowing that he may never be able to get Sofia back.  And, I think it made me really willing to believe Sofia was what he wanted, as he wasn't deciding it while they were together, but while they weren't.

As is the case in all of Natasha Madison's books, the family is large and plays a big part in the story, but it adds some fun and humor to the situation, as well as some perspective as they all seem to also know how big a mistake he made with Sofia.

Their connection is strong, even when they are fighting it, and I believed in them as a couple, and that allowed this title to work well for me.

I enjoyed and recommend this title.
