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.

BLURB
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.

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
“Deft characterization, skillful pacing, touches of humor, and red-hot love scenes rev up this highly recommended roller-coaster.” —Publishers Weekly, STARRED Review for In Rides Trouble
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.
-5 Stars!- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

Happy Release Day to The Other Emily! I’m so happy for this new mystery/thriller to be out in the world and for you all to read it. It might just keep you up past your bedtime. 😉
.
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.

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!- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!
