BLURB

What happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas. Not when you marry a rock star.


Shay


Las Vegas was a terrible idea. Why can't I say no to my family? After a night out with my awful cousin for her bachelorette party, I wake up naked in a strange bed surrounded by scrawled notebook pages. Turns out I’d married a rock star last night. How am I ever going to explain this to my religious parents?

Chase

I went to Vegas to get married, only she married someone
else, so why shouldn’t I do the same? It’s the best way to stop public speculation about the marriage-that-wasn’t. But even better, something about Shay has flipped a switch inside me—suddenly I can write music again. Only my new little wifey isn’t thrilled about our marriage.


She says drunken mistake. I say best night ever. Of course I'm right. And I'll use everything I've got to convince her.



I enjoyed the idea that Shay had no idea who Chase was, and that he felt protective over her after hearing how she was being treated by her companions in Vegas.

There was something appealing about the idea of him being her protector, but learning that he only sort of knows how to actually be what is best for her. I liked watching their relationship evolve and being there as each of them figured out what they wanted and how to be a partner and in a relationship with one another.

I liked their chemistry and I believed in them as a couple. I also really believed in the reason for the conflict in their relationship and I was glad that it was resolved.

I enjoyed and recommend this title.

BLURB

There’s only one thing Malena Cortez dislikes more than cold coffee and that’s Thad King.


They’ve worked at the same law firm for almost seven years. She even once thought they were friends.

But there is nothing friendly about Thad. Except maybe his dog.


When they’re forced to work together on a case, Malena realizes there is more to the preppy rich guy than she’d always thought.

Besides, she’s still mourning her late husband while navigating the world as a single mom. She’s definitely not ready to date again. Or fall in love for the first time in her life.

But maybe there’s more to the guy who shows up when she needs him most. But is a maybe worth risking everything for?

I Wish I Knew Then by Jessica Peterson - ARC Review & Release Blitz



My grandmother has a saying: what’s done in the dark always comes to light, especially in small towns with big secrets. And I was hiding the biggest secret of them all.

Every summer I spent growing up at my grandparents’ coastal estate was the same. Same cousins. Same chaos. Same long golf cart rides along the beach.

But everything changed the summer I turned eighteen, when my grandparents’ new housekeeper moved in with her son, Riley. With his big personality and head-turning looks, he was the local heartthrob.

We fell in love instantly. Riley was my first everything. First love. First time.

And my first heartbreak when he dumped me at the end of the summer.

Ten years later, I’m back on the island for my best friend’s wedding as her maid of honor. Who’s the first person I literally stumble into?

Riley Dixon. Even worse? He’s the groom’s best man, and a self-made billionaire to boot.

Being forced to spend an entire week together for wedding festivities quickly leads to more: hot hate sex, late nights of sneaking out, and unexpected revelations. The boy I knew a decade ago is gone, and the hate becomes…something else entirely. And I begin to wonder if Riley is hiding some secrets of his own.

I WISH I KNEW THEN is a small town, standalone romance. It is the first book in the Harbour Village Series.


Better Than Most by Jennifer Milliken - ARC Review & Release Blitz

Back then? They were great together.

Now? They could be even better.

Better Than Most by Jennifer Millikin is now live!




From Amazon Charts bestselling author Jennifer Millikin comes a brother's best friend, second chance romance filled with heart, heat, and humor.

Rhodes Porter.

A name Georgia Whittier would prefer never cross her lips again. Not only was her older brother's best friend her first love, her first everything, but he broke her heart for a reason she still hasn't fully accepted. To make it worse, Georgia couldn't properly nurse her broken heart, because nobody knew about the love affair.

A decade has passed, and Georgia is all grown up. She's twenty-seven, a college graduate who had a real world job. Had. Her small hometown of Green Haven isn't flush with teaching jobs, but she knew that when she moved back home. She's making ends meet with odd jobs, and has rediscovered her old love of West Coast swing dancing. Life isn't great, but it's good enough.

Until Rhodes returns to Green Haven. For good.

As much as Georgia would prefer to banish him from her life, she can't. See: Brother's best friend. Now Rhodes is everywhere. Her brother's wedding. At a family barbecue. On the sidewalk across the street while Georgia waits in line at the post office.

And that broken heart Georgia thought had healed? It hasn't. Because Rhodes is just like before. Better, even.

Georgia is determined to keep Rhodes at arm's length, even when he's buying her blackberry orange jam at the Sierra Grande farmer's market. Even when he's holding eye contact a beat too long. Especially when she finds out the old note she wrote him is still sewn into the brim of his baseball hat.

The hat he still wears.

Every day it gets more difficult for Georgia to refuse her heart.
But if what Georgia wants is a reason not to fall in love with Rhodes again, she need look no further.

Rhodes is holding onto it. All these years he's kept the truth of why he left her a secret, but secrets have a way of revealing themselves.

And this one? It's a doozy.
