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.

Workin' on You by Claire Hastings - ARC Review & Release Blitz
Synopsis
Everyone has secrets.
Mine? I’ve loved Sylvie Forde since we were eight years old. Not that she has any idea.
Being stuck in the friend zone with her is better than nothing at all. Love from afar is all I’ve ever been able to muster up the courage for, even though I want so much more. I finally get my chance when Sylvie asks for my help.
Late nights, a surprise litter of kittens, and hushed confessions lead to kissing and a whole lot more. Everything I’ve ever wanted.
Only problem—there’s something else I’m keeping from Sylvie. Something big.
Secrets are hard to keep in our small Georgia town, yet I’ve managed to keep this one. If I want a future with the girl of my dreams, I have to come clean. And hope that I don’t lose her forever.
One Kiss by Aleatha Romig - ARC Review & Release Blitz
A small town, best friend's sister, age-gap, grumpy, sunshine, contemporary standalone
Confirmed bachelor—that’s what I’ve become.
Life is safe and predictable. After all, Riverbend doesn’t exactly have a roaring social life or an influx of women looking to be the wife of a farmer.
Hold on.
I’m not looking for a wife—or even a girlfriend.
When my best friend tells me that his little sister, Devan, is moving back to Riverbend to teach science, I envision the little girl with pigtails, freckles, and an annoying urge to be wherever her older brother was.
Of course, that was twelve years ago when she was ten years old.
Newsflash. Devan is no longer a child.
Imagine my shock when I learn that she is the woman who disappeared after one passionate kiss—one I couldn’t get out of my head.
Once I realize Devan is my mystery woman, I can’t walk away.
The problem is that she’s my best friend’s little sister, ten years younger than me, and definitely off-limits.
What will it mean for my friendship if I pursue my feelings?
Can one kiss change everything?
Have you been Aleatha’d?
ONE KISS is a stand-alone, age-gap, best friend’s sister, small-town forbidden contemporary romance set in Riverbend, Indiana, and one of Aleatha’s Lighter Ones. Sit back and enjoy the hijinks as Justin’s safe and predictable world is turned upside down.

You Or Someone Like You by Winter Renshaw - ARC Review
From Wall Street Journal and #1 Amazon bestselling author Winter Renshaw comes a fast-paced, emotional romance about what happens when the wrong twin falls for the right man.
Being an identical twin has its perks, but when my sister asked me to sub in for a date with Roman Bellisario, I wasn’t exactly thrilled.
Sure, he’s sinfully handsome and successful, but he also got me fired from my dream job three years ago.
This time, my sister’s promotion is riding on this date, so I have to say yes. And as it turns out, we’re strangely perfect for each other. I sell art. He collects it. We’re both obsessed with the same obscure, mysterious artist that most people don’t even know exists.
Roman is guarded, though, and I can understand why. He’s a widowed single dad. But as one date leads to another, he starts to let me in, and I can’t help but fall for him. The problem is Roman still thinks I’m my sister.
Is our twin swap going to be the best thing that ever happened to me and Roman―or the lie that tears us apart?
