With two protective older brothers and a traditional Catholic Italian mother, it’s surprising that Chloe D’Angelo can manage a date without someone in the family naysaying her romantic choice. And Dante Mancuso…oh, no. Her brother’s best friend is not a dating-app right swipe. But when they are left unsupervised on a late night in Vegas, all of that changes. Add in a Vegas wedding chapel and a couple of “I dos” and Chloe wakes up with a ring on her finger and a hangover. Dating Dante was always a secret desire, but marriage? The rift that this news would cause in her family has both of them keeping their nuptials to themselves as they scramble to undo their Vegas mistake. Dante knew the rules: Chloe was off-limits. Only, he can’t stop once his mind starts to believe she might be his forever. Just as their attraction deepens, Chloe flees to Bali, desperate to clear her head. All Dante has to do is keep her brothers from killing him and convince Chloe that they are meant for each other. But first, Dante has to find her.
Be Your Everything is the second stand-alone story in the D’Angelo family series. Chloe is the youngest girl in a wonderful, loving family even if her brothers are a bit over protective and overbearing.
Chloe has always had a serious crush on her brothers best friend Dante Manciso but he hardly even seemed to notice her. Little did she know that he more than noticed her but kept his distance because of those overprotective brothers.
“I could have lived with a fling.” In two steps she was up and in his space. Lifted her chin and nearly touched his. “A fling I’ve wanted with you from the day boys stopped being icky.”
The story is sweet and romantic. The kind of book that you just want to kick back and settle into. For most of the story the pace is almost leisurely, encouraging letting your guard down and just enjoying. Until the big twist shakes things up! Love this book and love this big loving family!!

I spent twelve hours writing algorithms for one of the largest companies in the world and then came home to work on a pet project of mine—feeding facts about the men I knew into a formula to find my perfect match before my twenties came barreling to a close.
But then a man knocked on my door and handed me some papers that turned my life upside down.
Apparently, a father I never knew existed had left me something in his will. That something turned out to be part ownership in a professional football team.
Next thing I knew, I was learning a sport I knew nothing about by spending time with the team’s quarterback who was out with an injury, a man who my formula would definitely determine was all wrong for me.
Christian Knox was too handsome and confident for his own good and could have any woman he wanted. Only lately the only woman he seemed to want was me.
But there was no way I was getting involved when I was now his boss, even if he was insanely gorgeous and had the dirtiest mouth I’d ever come across.
It would be wrong, wouldn’t it?
Probably. But you know what they say about things that are wrong…sometimes they feel so right.

An enemies-to-lovers, small town romance from Catherine Cowles
Be brave. Just for sixty seconds. Twenty breaths.
It took every ounce of my courage to return to the small town I fled all those years ago. But I should’ve known he’d hate me. How could he not when my father’s blood still runs through my veins?
Yet here I am, desperate for a chance to make things right. Even if it means facing the family my father almost destroyed and the boy with the dark eyes—now grown—who still haunts my dreams.
I never expected just how explosive things would turn between us. He’s the last person I should want. Yet, somehow, I keep drawing closer—so close I know I’ll end up burned.
But Hayes is a good man, a noble one. Someone who channeled his pain into a career spent protecting those around him. So, when the threats begin, he steps in to keep me safe. And we discover that maybe neither of us knew the other at all.
As the sparks between us ignite into something deeper, someone watches. And they’ll do anything to tear it all apart…

OUR REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ozzi Erickson is the most laid back of the Viking MMA brothers. He has always had a touch of wanderlust but is helping out at the gym while he decides where he wants to go next.
Willow – is SO prickly! On her own since aging out of foster care she is starting a life in Green Valley. When she gets the news that her mother has passed away she also finds out that she isn’t as alone in the world as she had thought.
This story is sweet, swoony, and a bit angsty. It is a great conclusion to this Smartypants series that delivers with heart and heat!
When I walk across the gym to the heavy bags, I see the long dark, sleek hair I’ve come to associate with Willow Bernard. She’s pulling it up off her neck and tying it into a high ponytail, making my fingers tingle.
Would the strands be as soft as they look?
Clearing my throat, I get her attention in the mirror and give her a nod. “Ready to kick some ass?”
Her eyes stay on mine for a long moment and I swear there’s something that passes between us. And not for the first time, I wonder if she’s thought about me as much as I’ve thought about her over the past few days.
Shit, last night when I walked her downstairs, I’d fought the instinct to ask her to call me when she got home so I’d know she made it safely. Which, again, is ridiculous.
“Can I ask you something?” she says, turning around to face me, her expression unreadable.
Nodding again, I grab a set of gloves and some tape and walk toward her. “You can ask me anything.” I mean it. Unlike her, I’d give her any information she wants.
I’m a goddamn open book.
I just wish I could say the same for her, but even her off-handed comments give me whiplash.
First, she told me yesterday at the Piggly Wiggly that she was around a lot of kids growing up. So, I assumed she’s part of a large family, like ours.
But then yesterday evening, when Gunnar asked about her family, she said it was just her and her mom, which made it sound like she’s an only child.
The mystery surrounding Willow Bernard keeps building.
“Do you really think I’m any good at this?”
Picking my head up, I realize how close we are—so close I can see that her brown eyes are flecked with green—and also how serious she is.
And she has really long, dark lashes.
“You’re really fucking good,” I mutter as I begin to wrap tape around her wrists.
I can see the skepticism written all over her face. “You don’t believe me.”
Shaking her head slightly, she meets my gaze again. “I’ve never been good at anything.”
The thick veil that’s always shrouding Willow lifts momentarily and I see past the hard façade. Under her hard-as-nails exterior is a girl who’s unsure of herself and looking for approval, whether she wants to admit it or not.
As a trainer, it’s my job to see those types of things and look deeper than surface level, seeking out my clients’ strengths and weaknesses.Willow’s strengths are obvious. Her natural talent and drive are hard to miss. Shit, anyone could see it. Even if they didn’t know what they were looking for, they’d see her and think, this girl’s got something special.

OUR REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Such a SWOONY story!! The Monroe brothers are the best! What can one expect with parents like Becky Lee and Bill.
Barrett Monroe is perfect and put together. The exact opposite of how Sadie Hill sees herself. She is a newly single mom attempting to raise a pair of very precocious eight year old twin boys and constantly feeling off balance.
“You’re a strong woman, Sadie. But you don’t have to be strong all the time. Not right now, not with me.”
Sadie has had a crush on Barrett as long as she can remember. It’s probably not a very good idea to pursue that for a whole bunch of complicated reasons. But whenever they are near each other sparks fly and the chemistry is off the charts and neither of them are strong enough to resist.
“Hold on to me.”
“I am.” I let out a soft laugh and squeezed him tighter. “That’s it?”
“Yeah. We don’t let each other get away, Sadie. If we hold on, this will never end.”
“Okay, Barrett. I won’t let go.”
I loved this visit to Green Valley and hate to say good bye to these amazing characters. This story is so many good things… single parents, amazing kids, the BEST supporting characters, swoon, humor, and a touch of angst!

Sadie Hill has a lot going on.
New job, twin boys, deadbeat ex, and a mother from hell.
Her life is chaos and no matter how hard she holds on, every plan she makes flies straight out of her grasp.
The last thing she needs is for her devastatingly hot co-worker to become her new neighbor. A distraction like Barrett does not fit into her precarious plans for the future.
Barrett Monroe has got it going on.
His wicked ex-wife is nothing but a memory, his daughter is back home where she belongs, and he loves his job.
His control-freak ways have paid off and he can finally relax into his perfectly scheduled life—alone, just how he wants it.
The last thing he needs is an irresistible single mom and her adorable kids to move in next door. Sadie was hard enough to stay away from when she was just his co-worker.
But one night spent stranded in a snowstorm together finds these two sneaking around, sharing stolen kisses, and losing their hearts.
Will they give into the flying sparks between them?
Or drive each other crazy fighting their feelings instead?

“Hey, Barrett!” Clara shouted, wrenching me out of the storm cloud of bad memories and useless speculation I was about to get lost in.
“Barrett!” the boys shouted. “Play with us!”
I spun on my heel then checked my watch. He was early; he’d only been gone about fifteen minutes. “What’s wrong? Did something happen to you?” I asked without thinking, then froze. Damn it.
His dark eyes met mine and he grinned knowingly. “I got a cramp in my side.” He inhaled a deep sigh, his broad chest expanded on the intake, and it was all I could do not to gawk at him—muscles . . . so many muscles. He addressed the boys. “I’ll join you next time. I kinda hurt myself tonight.”
I could see his abs through his shirt, for the love of heck—but I managed to force my eyes into submission and snapped them back to his. “Oh, that’s too bad,” I breathed, at a loss for words.
“Yeah, I like to get at least thirty minutes in.” He raised his hands over his head in a stretch. I almost died at the sight of the strong corded muscles of his neck as he tipped his head back. And that jawline? It was absolute perfection, sharply defined and covered with the perfect amount of dark stubble, exactly how I liked it.
My eyes, of their own accord, drifted lower as his shirt lifted ever so slightly baring a sliver of his defined stomach. Then it became a battle between my eyeballs and my brain. I needed to avert the traitorous orbs but before I could, I caught a glimpse of the happy trail leading down to the bulgy good stuff.
I inhaled my own deep breath as I gave up and allowed my gaze to go on a journey over his hot-as-hell form. Six-foot-four inches of Barrett Monroe were taking my eyes on a trip, and I was in danger of embarrassing myself at the sight.
“Boys, bath time. Come on inside.” Clara took the ball from Flynn, tossed it to me, then led the boys inside the house.
“What—?” She couldn’t have planned Barrett’s side cramp. But she sure as heck planned the rest, leaving me out here alone with him like this. I scowled and clutched the ball to my chest instead of hurling it at her retreating back. I glanced sheepishly back at Barrett.
His grin had softened to a small smile. “I’m going to say this again, and hopefully it will come out better than that first Monday morning here in the driveway. You look different.”
“Yeah? Well, I don’t wear heels and makeup at home, Barrett. I’m a freelance hot mom and I make my own hours.” I couldn’t help but crack a defensive joke as I grumbled and adjusted my ponytail with one hand. “I don’t have time to get dolled up every time I go outside—”
“It wasn’t an insult, Sadie. You’re adorable right now, stunning in an entirely different way.” His eyes softened on mine, just like his smile had.
I found myself fighting a big dopey grin that was threatening to pop out and give my crush away. “Oh. Okay then. Well, thank you.” Unfortunately, I couldn’t control the red flush that rose over my cheeks or his knowing reaction to it.
He backed up a few steps, gesturing to the ball. “I’m feeling better. Show me what you got, stunner.”
“Stunner?” I allowed a small smile to cross my face. It was a non-flirty, totally neutral smile. Yeah, you keep telling yourself that, dummy.
His lips quirked sideways in a grin as he nodded. “Every time I get to see a different side of you, it stuns me.” He gestured to his heart and made the cutest mock-surprised face I’d ever seen in my life.
Instead of keeling over dead from being stunned myself and the resulting sudden heart palpitations, I spun the ball on my finger, let it go, then kicked it to him. He passed it back with a knee and my small smile turned huge. Barrett had skills too.

Second chance romance

Mutual pining
OUR REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Resting Witch Face is book five in the Stay A Spell series. Each book tells the story of one of the Savoie sisters and while they are all stand-alones, you get a richer story when all are read in order.
I have been waiting with bated breath for Jules and Rubin’s story since first reading book one and getting glimpses of their chemistry throughout the series and I was not disappointed at all.
“…telling her that she was my true mate—my soulmate, my bloodmate—would’ve terrified her even more and sent her running even farther from me.”
RWF delivers with all the swoon and emotion, add in the angst, danger, suspense and an exciting storyline … I didn’t want to put the book down from the moment I started reading!
-5+ Stars!- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Twelve years ago, Jules Savoie ended her relationship with the vampire overlord of New Orleans, Ruben Dubois. For good reasons. A woman in power must often make sacrifices to protect others. She knows the truth of it down to her aching heart.
When Ruben watches his best friend Devraj get married, a stinging realization hits him hard…he’s done waiting. They say time heals all wounds. In this case, it merely sharpened the pain and made one fact crystal clear. Jules Savoie is his soulmate, and nothing would keep her from him. Not anymore.
Forced to work side by side to fight for the werewolf cause, they campaign together at covens from New Orleans to London. The reignited spark burns hotter than ever before. But when a power-hungry vampire sets his predatory sights on Jules, will their love be strong enough against black magic? Or will he lose her again? And this time, maybe…for good.
