BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE novel…

ABBY:

I’m falling for the father of the baby I’m carrying.
The problem is: it’s not my baby.
And the broody widower is not looking for a long-term partner.
As a surrogate, the deal was that I’d only be in England long enough to give birth.
At first, the man seemed as pretentious as his name: Sigmund Benedictus.
He and I butted heads.
Sig challenged my intentions, accused me of just wanting to do this for the money.
Gradually, he learned to trust me.
He even became protective.
Over time, our heated animosity turned into fiery chemistry.
I was falling in love with him.
But my time here had a limit.
I needed to protect my heart from the devastatingly gorgeous older man who’d end up breaking it.

SIG:

When my in-laws told me they wanted to use my dead wife’s eggs to conceive a grandchild, I wasn’t immediately on board.
They swore that on her deathbed Britney told them it was what she wanted—but only if I fathered the baby. Her parents insisted they would be the ones to raise it.
Against my better judgment, I agreed.
I vowed to keep my heart out of it, though.
I’d continue to pretend it wasn’t happening and live the empty, single life I’d become accustomed to the past five years since Britney died.
And despite the fact that a certain younger American named Abby Knickerbocker had awakened things inside me that I thought were long dead…
I most certainly wouldn’t fall in love with the surrogate.

OUR REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This story is absolute magic! I fell in love with Josie, Fox, Laurel Lake and all its inhabitants!! There is heart, heat, humor and all the swoon!

Josie arrives in Laurel Lake (voted America’s Friendliest Town) needing a break from her very stressful job. She plans to DIY her way to fixing up the house she inherited there.

Fox is the grumpy, growly and oh so sexy next door neighbor. An ex hockey player who wants nothing to do with Josie and the complications she brings.

“The man is a coconut. Hard shell on the outside, but soft and sweet on the inside.”

“Opal is right. You’re a coconut.”

“What the hell does that mean?”

“Nothing.” She smiled. “Except I really want a piña colada now.”

What Happens At The Lake is definitely my new favorite Vi Keeland book! It deserves more than 5 stars! I’m already planning a reread of this one… maybe on audiobook.

-5 Stars!- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

When life took an unexpected turn, I decided to get out of New York for a while. What better place to go than the idyllic small town my father spoke about so fondly when I was growing up? Laurel Lake held the title America’s Friendliest Town for seventeen years running, and friendly was just what I needed right now.

Unfortunately, friendly wasn’t the welcome I got when I arrived.

Instead, I got Fox Cassidy. My tall, dark, and burly neighbor, who grunted at me instead of saying hello.

Okay, so I might’ve had his mailbox in my hands the first time we met. And it might’ve been a little crushed after removing it from under my tire. And I might’ve needed his help breaking into the place I was staying in after the key broke off in the lock. But still…he didn’t have to be so grumpy.

As time went on though, I started to notice things about Fox other than his glares. Like how he watched me when he thought I wasn’t looking, or how fire ignited in his eyes whenever we bickered. Though I was in Laurel Lake to escape my problems, not create new ones. And getting involved with a man like Fox screamed trouble, even if he was gorgeous and unlike any man I’d ever met.

But alas, problem seemed to be my middle name this year. So why not have some fun while I was here for the summer? It seemed like a good plan. At least until it was time to go home…

They say what happens at the lake, stays at the lake. But it’s not so easy to walk away when what stays behind…is your heart.

The Rules of Dating My One-Night StandBy Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland#Standalone #ContemporaryRomance #OneClick

Title: The Rules of Dating My One-Night Stand
Authors: Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: November 12, 2023
BLURB

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl.

After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest.
Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more.
I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time.
Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together.
I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number.
In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.
So imagine my surprise when I knocked on the door of an apartment in the building I lived in, and none other than my one-night stand stood on the other side.
If I thought Devyn didn’t want anything to do with me before, that was nothing compared to how she felt after finding out I was the landlord and she was about to be evicted…
And that was just the first surprise that would rock my world when it came to the mystery woman in apartment 410.

Black Hearted by Julie Ann Walker is out now! Check it out and be sure to grab your copy of the gorgeous romantic suspense today!

Title: Black Hearted

Author: Julie Ann Walker

Genre: Romantic Suspense

About Black Hearted:

He’s everything she ever wanted. She’s everything he never knew he needed. Can she convince him she’s the one?

 

The Black Knights are back and better than ever!

 

Samuel Harwood has spent his entire career working in the black and gray areas of international intrigue. Living in the shadows for so long has made him forget who he was and where he came from. Then a blast from the past, in the form of his ex-girlfriend’s kid sister, arrives on the front steps of Black Knights Inc, reminding him of everything he left behind. Except, she’s no longer a kid. And she’s in serious trouble.

 

Hannah Blue has been in love with Sam Harwood since she was in braces. When someone sabotages her entire life, he’s the first person she turns to. She has critical information about a potential cyber-attack on the U.S. power grid that could end in catastrophic financial damage and loss of life. But the FBI thinks she’s a traitor. And now she’s on the run to save herself and the fate of the entire nation.

 

Who does Samuel trust? The smart, sexy woman he’s known since he was a teenager? Or the government authorities who give him his orders and cut his paychecks? He’ll make one desperate play to find out. A play that could cost him everything…including his heart.

 

“A first-rate thrill ride.”—Publishers Weekly, STARRED Review for Thrill Ride

 

“This razor-sharp, sensual, and intriguing tale will get hearts pounding”—Publishers Weekly, STARRED Review for Wild Ride

About the Author:

Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Julie grew up in a house full of women – she has three older sisters. As you can imagine, there was no lack of drama… or romance. Her mother enrolled her in a book club as soon as she began to read and it was the small spark that ignited her voracious appetite for the written word.

Because of Julie’s early immersion in literature, she found writing came quite naturally. In high school, she won multiple writing contests and was the proud senior editor of The Tiger’s Tale – her school newspaper.

During her college years, however, she longed for a challenge. “Reading and writing felt like second nature to me, so I looked for a way to flex my mental muscles,” she recalls. After receiving a Bachelor of Science degree, Julie began teaching advanced high school mathematics.

“I loved working with the students and facing the challenges of the classroom, but I longed for the occasional snow day when I could race to the local book store, buy two or three new novels, and curl up in front of the fire to read.”

It wasn’t until a fortuitous move to Chicago that Julie once more returned to her first passion.

Now Julie loves to travel the world looking for views to compete with her deadlines. When she’s not writing, she enjoys camping, hiking, cycling, cooking, petting every dog that walks by her, and… reading, of course!

OUR REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Holy Cheeseballs!” What an exciting, fast paced story! Black Hearted is full of suspense and excitement, but also lots of humor, banter and plenty of swoon… Everything I want in a romantic suspense story.

Hannah Blue is picked up by the FBI and accused of crimes against the country. She needs to escape, somehow prove her innocence while finding a way to also stop the real bad guys and the Black Knights jump in to help.

This time around, Sam Harwood has to keep reminding himself that Hannah is his high school girlfriend’s kid sister… completely off limits. But even in the midst of all the crazy action and danger, neither of them can avoid the off the charts chemistry that sparks between them.

Black Hearted can definitely be read as a stand-alone. This is the firsts Black Knights Inc or Black Knights Inc Reloaded story that I’ve read and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

BLURB: 

Love wasn’t the daily special when a grumpy small-town baker delivers a baby in his bakery. Now, all he can think about is that sweet bundle and her tempting single mother.

Having a baby in a bakery gives new meaning to taking the bun out of the oven.

I’d been in Curmudgeon Bakery for one of those lemon baby-Bundt cakes I’d been craving since I found out I was pregnant.

The draw had nothing to do with the baker himself. Tall, tatted, and edgy, looking more like a biker than a man who makes baked goods. I hardly knew him other than taking a tumble in a rainstorm in front of his shop . . . and then tossing myself at him after he rescued me.

We shared a moment but it’s not what you’d think.

Months later, he delivered my baby among his cookies and cakes. Talk about a second chance encounter.

Then he whips up a plan to pretend to be my baby’s father, and everything heats up from there.

My body.

My heart.

My willingness to accept a perfect stranger’s kindness despite him telling me over and over he isn’t who I think he is.

I beg to differ.

He’s that sugary drizzle on a citrus-flavored, guilty pleasure that’s bad for the hips, but together—him, and me, and baby—we’re the perfect blend of ingredients that might do all our hearts some good.

.
In this heart-stopping psychological thriller, Emily Hollister’s seemingly perfect life unravels when she becomes the target of someone intent on taking over her life.

“I know what you did.”

The anonymous note starts an ominous game of cat and mouse. Soon, Emily finds herself trapped in a web of gaslighting and manipulation. Someone is lurking in the shadows, observing her every move, and insidiously replacing her in her own existence.

With no one she can trust, Emily turns to a stranger for help, an ex-soldier with his own baggage to carry, but is he who he appears to be?

As the danger escalates, Emily fights to put an end to the terrifying charade. With all the skeletons in her past, unmasking her tormentor is no easy task, but if she fails, she may find herself erased from her own life.

#NewRelease #newreleasebooks #newbook #pubday #mysterythriller #thrillerbooks #psychologicalthriller

OUR REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An action packed, complete page turner!!

Wowzer! Tons of suspense and mystery right from the start. The Other Emily is an action packed, complete page turner that I could not put down.

Emily’s world is turned upside down when she receives an anonymous note.

“I know what you did.”

The story is a super psychological thriller, edge of the seat, don’t know who to trust, twist after twist kind of thing!

“You’re in real trouble, Emily. This woman is using your name, taking over your life, stealing your voice, and she’s not stopping there. We need to find this other Emily.”

Every SINGLE character is a suspect!! Emily’s friends, family, coworkers, even the guy who is helping her!!!

“I feel like I’m seeing evil in every person I speak to, everyone who walks by me, gives me a glance.”

I am a fan of romantic suspense and this book just went to the top of my favorites in that genre!

-5+ Stars!- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#ReviewTour I COULD NEVER by Penelope Ward #NewRelease #5Stars #SwoonyAF

Title: I Could Never
Author: Penelope Ward
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Forbidden Romance/Enemies to Lovers
Release Date: August 21, 2023
BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new forbidden, enemies-to-lovers story…

It all started with an unexpected phone call.
Two years after my fiancé passed away in an accident, his father died suddenly, leaving Brad’s adult, special-needs brother with no one to care for him.
The next thing I knew, I was on a cross-country drive to New Hampshire where I’d be moving in to look after Scottie until I could get him into a group home.
The last thing I ever expected?
I wouldn’t be taking care of him alone.
Josh Mathers, my fiance’s best friend—who also happened to be my sworn enemy—insisted he was the better person for the job. He told me to go back to California, and I told him where he could stick that demand.
Our disdain for each other wasn’t anything new. It dated back to a text I’d accidentally read years ago.
We hated each other. But we both loved Scottie, so neither of us budged.
Now we were living together in a tiny house—with one available bedroom. Thank goodness it was only temporary.
Over time, I realized the broody jerk I thought I knew was different than I’d imagined.
I found myself slowly growing attached to someone I once considered the enemy…and growing attracted to him.
Sure, both of us were guilt-ridden over Brad. We were also two grown people with pent-up frustration toward one another—stuck in a cabin in the woods.
But this was Josh.

I could never.

OUR REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This story is everything sweet and swoony with plenty of humor. And even with a bit of a slow burn start, this author as usual delivers with lots of heat.

She could never go there… Carly is caring for her late fiance’s autistic brother with the help of her fiance’s best friend. When Brad was alive, Josh and Carly hated each other.

Now that they are taking care of Scotty together, Josh’s preconceived notions are flying out the window … but he could NEVER go there!…Carly was and would always be his best friend’s fiance.

Heat, heart, swoon and humor… I Could Never give us all the feels!
