I adore everything I've ever read by Dyer and for good reason...her books are well written and her ability to write these characters that you automatically empathize with is amazing. Check out my review of her new release here

PUFFIN BAY
by
Annie Dyer

Release Date: April 27


Heartbreak led me to Puffin Bay, searching for peace in a small, coastal town. Four years later, my bar is thriving, and my next business is just what the town needs.

It doesn’t need Roman Tominey. Arrogant, city-boy, suit-wearing grump - he knows how to push every one of my buttons, and after an evening of bad decisions, he knows how to push that one too.

When Roman’s newly found teenage son joins him, Roman’s summer stay is extended. We spend the days arguing over a building project the local council insist we do together, and the evenings with him sneaking into my room.

Then Roman’s ideas for Puffin Bay’s development cause all-out war between us.

Those sparks between us? They become weapons.

Only Roman doesn’t fire his. It seems he wants something more than another zero on the end of his bank balance and he might just discard his suit - and its buttons - to keep on pressing mine.

Irresistibly Perfect is out now! It's a rockstar romance, which I don't regularly read, but when I say it's good just believe me. J. Saman is definitely one of my favorites contemporary romance writers, and it's for good reason. She's a fantastic storyteller, and the way she weaves drama and sexiness together is spot on. 






Irresistibly Perfect by J. Saman is now live! 


From USA Today bestselling author J. Saman comes a steamy brother's best friend, friends-to-lovers, forced proximity romance about a hot rock star and the irresistible woman he's always wanted but could never have.


When I was fourteen, I fell in love with the girl next door.


My best friend’s sister was off-limits to me in every way.


I was the bad boy, and she was the good girl. I was the kid with big rock star dreams, and she was the princess with her entire life planned out for her.


We were impossible from the start. Even when she’d randomly show up at my concerts and we’d spend a night or two lost in each other it would always end in goodbye.


Years later she’s back in our city.


Only now, she’s engaged to the last guy I’d ever want to see her with. So I do something crazy. I never expect to hear from her again until one night she takes me by surprise.


A drunken phone call and suddenly I’m racing through the airport to catch her plane before she takes off for Europe.


Now I’ve got one week to change both our lives.


My plan? Make her fall in love with me as we get lost in Italy and France. Her plan? Discover the woman she wants to be instead of the perfect one she’s always had to be.


I’d love to tell you that from here on out it’s all love and sex, but nothing has ever been easy for us, and this is no exception.


Fallon Lark has always been mine. Now I just have to prove it to her…

Guys, I've had the great pleasure of reading a very early copy of Twisted Promises by Lilian Harris, and when I say you don't want to miss out on this mafia romance I mean it. It's sexy and dangerous, and it has all the twists and turns that I love about Harris' writing. Read on for more info. 



Lilian Harris has revealed the covers and blurb for Twisted Promises, book 3 in the Messina crime family series, which can be read as a standalone.

“It’s been a while since I've threatened to kill you.” -Iseult (ee-salt)
“Damn, bambina, I love it when you talk dirty to me.” -Gio

🥵 Mafia
🥵 Forbidden (sister's fiance)
🥵 Reverse Grumpy/Sunshine
🥵 Secret Identities
🥵 Female Mob Enforcer
🥵 Touch Her & D!e
🥵 Possessive & Obsessed Hero
🥵 Frienemies to Lovers
🥵 He Falls First
🥵 All the Banter

𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗯:
I hate everything about him. I hate his smile. I hate his laugh, and most of all, I hate how he makes me feel—so completely alive with every forbidden kiss.

Gio is the son of the Italian Mafia and I’m an Irish Mob princess.
An assassin who swore her life to the cause.

We were never meant to find each other.

But one night changed everything. I was about to end his life, while he was about to end mine.

Instead, we found ourselves in bed hashing out a lot more than our differences.

I disappeared after that. I couldn’t let him get under my skin. I couldn’t let him figure out my secrets.

But he found me and refuses to let me go, reminding me why I crave him.

The only problem is, he’s set to marry my sister.

SEEKING AN EX-HUSBAND

I need a fake ex-husband. 

Let me explain … 

I may have let it slip to my new co-workers that I have an ex-husband. Now they’re fascinated with the details, specifically with him.

Why wouldn’t they be? He’s gorgeous, has exceptional skills in the bedroom, and is determined to win me back.

But there’s a problem. He doesn’t exist.

The bigger problem? I have to produce him to save my job.

This is where you come in.

I'm seeking someone to play a smitten ex-husband for two weeks. You’ll need to remember our love story—details matter when it comes to romance! Please be prepared to travel in-state at a moment’s notice. We may be in close proximity and sharing a bed may be required.

One more thing—kisses are required for optics as necessary.

If this sounds interesting or, at the very least, entertaining, let me know.

Signed,

Your Future Ex-Wife

EXCERPT

As soon as we’re alone, the air shifts. Shadows dance across the tabletop. Megan’s jasmine perfume scents the air, and my body temperature rises.

I struggle to remember our conversation yesterday. I remind myself that my child—the same one that occupied the seat next to me a minute ago—is my priority. Over and over, I replay all the reasons why I can’t afford to get off track.

Why I can’t touch Megan Kramer.

My muscles tighten in my stomach and across the back of my neck as I lift my gaze from the tabletop to her.

She grins. It’s simple, but when coupled with the heat in her eyes, there’s nothing sweet about it. “That was fun.”

I hold her gaze, unable to look away.

This is the first day, Chase. Twenty-nine more to go. Don’t blow it already.

I smirk and push away from the table.

I need to put some distance between us before things get really fun.

Blurb:

This nanny makes things hard for her boss.

Chase Marshall is many things:

​An attentive single dad

Jaw-droppingly gorgeous

​My employer for the next thirty days

He’s also the bane of my existence.

He swears I’m a never-ending headache—the most infuriating woman he’s ever met.

If I’m so irritating, then what’s up with the lingering looks when he thinks I’m not watching?

The seemingly innocent touches while making breakfast?

The smirk that graces his kissable lips after one of our verbal spars after his daughter has gone to bed?

One minute he’s coming to my rescue. The next second he’s complaining about how I fold his work shirts. Fine. Fold them yourself.

It turns out that the only time I don’t get under Chase’s skin is when I’m under him.

And that’s where things get complicated.

From USA Today Bestselling author Adriana Locke comes a grumpy, blue-collar single dad that falls hard for his new nanny. This small-town romance is a standalone novel with tons of heat and even more heart.

About the Author:

USA Today Bestselling author, Adriana Locke, writes contemporary romances about the

A spin-off from the Only One series

Vivienne
I did the last thing I ever expected to do. I bought a boat. A beautiful boat that was all mine to spend the summer on.
Only thing I was looking forward to was the calm being on the water brought me.
A place where I wasn’t a hockey dynasty princess or the only single girl of the family.
What I wasn’t looking forward to was the broody man in the boat next to me.

Xavier
I was at the top of my game two years ago.
Then it all came crashing down.
I hung up my skates and vowed to never play again.
I was good at hockey, but hockey was bad for me.
I planned to spend my life on my boat with my dog.
Alone. Happily alone.
Until she came along.

When Elsie broke into my home, I saw an opportunity, so I forced her into a marriage she didn't want.

No one crosses me, not even someone as beautiful as Elsie. She may fight me with that smart mouth, but she will obey me–or return to the hell she came from.
I told her she was mine for a year. Then she'd be free.

But the more I see them together, my daughter and my wife, the more she touches me like I'm worthy, the more I start to wonder, could she be mine?

But when war lands at our feet, when her life’s in jeopardy, I realize I was right all along.

No one is safe with a man like me. Least of all her.

Blurb:

Chase

Everyone expected me to play hockey. 

I was good at it, but I was better at being a doctor.

So I hung up the skates and joined Doctors without Borders

But there is no place like home, so now I’m back.

And instead of being on the ice, I’m behind the bench as the team physician.

After years of playing cat and mouse, it’s time to admit it. 

She’s mine.

Julia 

Working as a social worker was a dream come true.

It wasn’t easy, and it has made me shut off my heart to love.

No commitment. No strings. No promises.

Until one fateful night changed everything.

He was there for me like no other one.

The biggest thing is I let him. 

Maybe he was just made for me!

Luca is finally out! It's the seventh and last book in the series, and I'm so sad this set of books is over. I mean Winners has already started the next series and yes, I'm enjoying it, but Belles and Mobsters is the one that got me started on her books. I fell in love with it from the first book, and I'm going to miss it. Anyway, if you've been reading this series, then you already know that Luca's story is a must read. (Here's my review of it.) If you haven't, then I recommend starting with Luciano. It's the first in the series and oh-so good. (Check out my review of Luciano here.) 




Title: Luca
Series: Belles & Mobsters #7
Author: Eva Winners
Genre: Steamy Mafia Romance
Release Date: December 1, 2022


BLURB

Luca King.
The notorious playboy.
A master of one night stands.
My constant shadow.

Wherever I went, he was always there. Until he wasn’t. One wild night at a masquerade party was all it took. I got pregnant, broke my engagement, and failed my family.

The worst part.

I had no idea who the father of my baby was. I had only one clue. A Prince Albert piercing. Not exactly a smoking gun.

My parents disowned me after I refused to marry the prospects they presented. It wasn’t my fault I became gun shy. The last four men I met ended up dead. It was safer to have this baby on my own.

Our world was a dangerous one. And without the protection of my family... I was running out of time.

So it left me with no choice but to disappear, leaving no trace of where I went.

That was until Luca King found me at my lowest.

Maybe I should have tried harder to stay hidden because he would surely be my destruction.

And waited some more.

He never came back to collect. So I moved on.

Never would I have ever thought I'd see him the day I walked down the aisle.

Except there he was, waiting for me in the pews.

Sasha Nikolaev.

When he snatched me in the middle of the ceremony, for the whole world to see, shit hit the fan.

He claimed I had a debt to pay.

My family promised retribution. My fiancé did the same.

And now, nothing will ever be the same.
