INDIGO RIDGE
Release Date: October 26th
The Edens #1
By Devney Perry
http://devneyperry.com/books/indigo-ridge

Winslow Covington believes in life, liberty and the letter of the law. As Quincy, Montana’s new chief of police, she’s determined to prove herself to the community and show them she didn’t earn her position because her grandfather is the mayor. 

According to her pops, all she has to do is earn favor with the Edens. But winning over the town’s founding family might have been easier if not for her one-night stand with their oldest son. In her defense, it was her first night in town and she didn’t realize that the rugged and charming man who wooed her into bed was Quincy royalty.

Sleeping with Griffin Eden was a huge mistake, one she’s trying to forget. He’s insufferable, arrogant and keeps reminding everyone that she’s an outsider. Winslow does her best to avoid Griffin, but when a woman is found dead on Eden property, the two of them have no choice but to cross paths.

As clues to the murderer lead to one of Quincy’s own, Griffin realizes Winslow is more than he gave her credit for. Beautiful and intelligent, she proves hard to resist. For him. And the killer.

OUR REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Indigo Ridge is the first book in The Edens series and if the first book is anything to go by I’m going to love this series.
Winn has come to Quincy Montana to become chief of police, she has a lot to overcome, not being from Quincy and being the granddaughter of the mayor it’s going to be hard to be accepted even though she was offered the job fair and square. After celebrating with her grandfather she decides to end the night having a drink in a local bar.
Griffin Eden a member of the founding family and the one who took over the family ranch.
A one night stand turns into so much more.
Winn has a hard start, her men are hard to accept her, a suicide of a local girl and the cowboy who can’t stay away.
Griffin can’t stay away from Winn but can’t admit it’s only sex, he has a lot on his plate, the ranch and his family, those are his only focus.
I love this book and really can’t wait to see what’s going to happen to the rest of the Eden’s.

Blurb for One More Time


Back in her hometown of Ruby Falls, Aria Heart is determined to find herself and the happiness that has always felt just out of reach. Something that would be a lot easier to do if her parents weren’t so close by, reminding her just why she left town as soon as she could, and if the house she just purchased wasn’t already giving her problems. 


Just when Aria starts to second guess her decision, Tide Goodman knocks on her door and shoves his way under her defenses. Is it possible that the happiness she’s been searching for is attached to a man like Tide, the guy she crushed on in high school who didn’t even seem to know she existed? A man with an adorable daughter and baggage of his own?


In order to find out, she’ll have to put everything, including her heart, on the line one more time.

The Bribe by Willa Nash is now live!

Duke Evans didn’t expect to interrupt a beautiful woman in a staring contest with a bison on his favorite hiking trail. He also didn’t expect to see her again after rescuing her from the surly beast. As the sheriff in Calamity, Montana, he’s had his fair share of surprises but none as pleasant as pulling over a shiny black car and finding his mysterious hiking companion behind the wheel.
Only, she lied to Duke. She gave him a name as fake as her hair color. According to her driver’s license, her real name is Lucy Ross, the famous country music singer whose sudden disappearance has been a hot topic in the media over the past two weeks.
He’s not sure why Lucy lied about her identity or why she’s in Calamity. And she’s not talking. Instead, she offers him a bribe to keep her secret.
But Duke doesn’t want her money. He wants to know why this woman is on the run. And as long as the star shines on his badge, he’s going to find out.

OUR REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Duke is the sheriff of Calamity Montana a usually quiet town.

Jade Morgan picks Calamity to hide from her life but as luck would have it her first day in town she gets pulled over by the sheriff who happens to be the same guy who saved her a couple days before. Handing over her driver license all she can say is “Sheriff Evans what would you say to a bribe?”

I loved this book, it’s a great small town story where even the secondary characters will have you begging for a book.

The chemistry between Duke and Jade is sizzling, there’s suspense that’ll having you on your toes till the end.

If you love Devney Perry’s books then you’ll love this new series from Willa Nash, can’t wait for the next one!

SYNOPSIS:

Detective Carter Fiske has a homeless man’s death to investigate. Opioids are in the man’s system, but it is the bag of prescription drugs in his pocket that has Carter’s interest. Especially considering this is the third death of a homeless person this month with a bag of drugs in their possession.

Tara McBride Wilson, single mom and head social worker at Ever Hope Homeless Shelter, has little time to deal with the handsome detective who keeps popping up…at work and on her mind.

When Carter asks Tara out to gain more information on the shelter and the connected clinic, he does not expect to start falling for the beautiful, caring woman. Finding out she is the sister of Sean and Kyle McBride, two of his detective friends, does not make matters easier.

When she discovers his subterfuge, she does not want anything more to do with him, having trust issues after her ex-husband left her high and dry. Carter has his work cut out for him to prove that he is the man for her and her daughter.

But danger lurks close by and as they work together to find out where the drugs are coming from, can Carter keep Tara safe?

OUR REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sandy and Jordan’s love story is about taking a chance to love again after the both lost their spouses, it’s their second chapter of their lives.
While Jordan has been ready to ask Sandy out she hasn’t been quite ready, finally she’s ready to take the step and start dating, Jordan doesn’t give her a chance to find someone else. I loved how caring Jordan is and the ease their relationship seems to be. A little hiccup with Sandy wanting a take a step back but Jordan s little angry though patient. Their journey was a beautiful story
The epilogue brought tears and smile I didn’t want it to end. From the beginning of Bentley’s story to the last word in Sandy’s the journey of the Bam boys has been filled with so many emotions and showed us what family is even if it’s not the family your born into but the family you make! I’ll miss them!

Title: Rebel Desire
Author: LK Farlow
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: June 4, 2020

OUR REVIEW:

Rebel Desire, a single dad story and I love a single dad.

Colton is a uptight lawyer who Ashley has decided is her soulmate. When Ashley needs a lawyer to help her with an unsatisfied bride she goes to Colton who repeatedly asks her to leave but when a surprise shows up as a 5 year old son Colton realizes he needs Ashley as much as she needs him.

Ashley is an upbeat total opposite of Colton but the true star of this book is Cruz the 5 year old who at first leery plants himself in Colton’s heart thawing it with every “new favorite thing”. I loved the relationship between Cruz and Ashley and Cruz and Colton and finally stopped wanting to smack Colton upside his head and enjoyed Colton and Ashley

Blurb
As a wedding photographer, it’s no surprise that Ashley
Murphy, despite her perpetual singleness, is a little in love with love.
When she catches a hunky best man checking her out while on
the job, her heart all but shouts, “He’s the one”. Until he opens his
mouth. Colton Banks is a cocky lawyer with a mean streak a country mile wide.
Colton prefers order to chaos. He believes there’s a time
and place for everything, so when a lilac haired hottie sends him a flirtatious
wink while she’s on the job, he’s less than impressed.
When she shows up at his office a week later asking for
legal help, his first instinct is to send her packing. But day after day, she
returns, finding new elaborate ways to break him down.
 It’s not until a life-altering surprise shows up on
Colton’s doorstep that things start to change. Ironically, the answer to his
problem may be his incredibly annoying, free-spirited new “friend.”
Complications. Lust. Attraction. Love.

As their tenuous friendship grows, the chemistry between
them becomes a raging inferno, and everyone knows you can’t deny your rebel desires.

Excerpt
“Hello, this is Ashley.”

“Am I supposed to
find your antics clever?” A growly yet refined voice barks in my ear. Colton.
“Actually, you’re
supposed to say ‘thank you.’ Or are you one of those men who feels emasculated
by receiving flowers?”
“No, I’m the kind of
man who isn’t swayed by paltry attempts at bribery.”
Why would fate
assign me such a monumental jackass as my soulmate? Clearly the universe has a
sick sense of humor. “Good
thing I’m not trying to bribe you, then,” I say, lying through my teeth.
“Aren’t you, though?
Muffins, flowers, what’s next? Maybe a box of chocolates? Half of your peanut
butter sandwich? I’m not your grade school crush. I’m a professional, Miss
Murphy, and only work with other professionals, which you have demonstrated
time and time again, you are not.”
I tap the speaker
button on my phone and toss it down on my desk. This man makes me insane. “You
are truly the most condescending man I’ve ever met. You don’t know me well
enough to have formed these kinds of opinions about me.”
In all honesty, his
extreme dislike of me hurts. A lot. Especially with how my heart and soul long
for his. He means for his words to dissuade me—to break me—but every single
insult and rebuff only makes me want to prove him wrong that much more.
“They say the truth
hurts, Miss Murphy. It’s not my fault you’re ill-equipped to handle the pain.”
I clench my fists so
tightly my nails dig into my palms, leaving behind little crescent-shaped
marks. This man makes me want to commit felonies—you know, like murder. I
wonder, since he’s my soulmate, could it be classed as a crime of
passion? “I can handle everything you dish out and more.”
Colton makes a noise
low in his throat, and I can nearly picture the sneer on his face. “Is that a
threat?”
“It’s a promise, Mr.
Banks. Do your worst; I’ll not only take it—I’ll return it back tenfold.”
“You don’t have it
in you.” He laughs cruelly, the dark tenor of it winding around my heart in
inky swirls.
“I’m far stronger
than you give credit for.” Not to mention, my plan of attack is to repay his
barbs with kindness. Something tells me that will knock him off guard far more
than volleying back with harsh words or petty.
“You mistake
strength for stupidity.”
“And you
underestimate me.” I end the call before he can reply, crumpling down to my
desk chair with my heart thundering and my pulse racing.
I’ll show that sexy,
arrogant jackass exactly who he’s up against. I may be quirky and kind, but
those two qualities are exactly what give me an edge. Colton Banks is used to
sharks and snakes, but he’s about to be brought to his knees by a creature far
more deadly—a woman scorned.

OUR REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A sweet story with a touch of suspense

Scott returns to Baytown where he use to visit his grandparents after losing his leg while serving in the military. Now an accountant he’s now a partner in the firm his grandfather use to own, all he wants is to live his life not letting the lose of his leg define him.

She’s a little socially inept d sad once she spent so much time alone working the farm but when her grandfather passes away leaving her the farm she’s got to step up and realize there’s people who will help.

Reading their story, how Scott was so patient and watching Lizzie become comfortable with people was endearing.

Of course the suspense of the story will really have you wondering who did, Maryann Jordan always keeps you guessing until the end!

Scott Redding served his time in the Army and paid the price. Coming back to the Eastern Shore, he was determined to live his life and not be defined as an amputee. Meeting Beau Weston was supposed to be about helping the older man settle his affairs…not change his life.

Lizzie Weston raised goats and alpacas, rising early and going to bed late, determined to not let her grandfather’s farm be sold. Accepting help from Scott was not what she wanted. The handsome accountant had impressed her grandfather, but she was sure he lived a life of ease and would not understand the demands of farming.

As Scott and Lizzie worked to save Weston farm, animosity grew into understanding…and then to love. But someone is out to force Lizzie to sell and it is up to Scott to save the farm…and her.

NOW AVAILABLE… FOR A LIMITED TIME, THE FIRST TWO BOOKS TOGETHER!
Brock King and Sean McBride… friends since childhood… now detectives. A murder and an arson in Hope City bring the two detectives to the same crime scene, then takes them on their own investigations… Both finding love along the way.

OUR REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is going to be a great series of standalones with interactive characters from two family’s the Kings and the McBrides
Brock King is a homicide detective who gets called out on a case that turns out to be one of the wealthy. The twists in this case will have your head spinning. When Brock’s partner gets called to the FBI he gets a temporary partner Kallie, as tough as she is pretty Brock is instantly attracted. Kallie is starting new after issues with her exhusband who is now harassing her. 
I loved this book, Brock and Kallie are so good together on and off the job and the case itself omg you’ll never see the ending coming. 
I love the family dynamic, the two families, the Kings and McBrides, growing up together and bond that they all share!

This is going to be a great series of standalones with interactive characters from two family’s the Kings and the McBrides
Sean McBride is a detective with Special Investigations Unit Arson Division who’s been tracking a arsonist, he’s also from a big loving family growing up beside the King family and his best friend Brock.
Harper a fire investor for a insurance company is sent out to the fire Sean is investigating, their first meeting ends up with Harper in the ER.
Their story is filled with heat coming both from the arsonist and from Sean and Harper, some family involvement and a ended you’ll never see coming.
We get just enough peak of family that’ll becoming in the series that I for one can’t wait for. Maryann Jordan writes strong but sweet alpha males that Sean definitely is and heroines that are just strong enough to hold their own.

-5 Stars!-

-Sue-

It had taken five years for Detective Kallie Redman to become emotionally and psychologically available after her cop-husband devastated their marriage and her career. The Hope City Police Department offered her a new beginning and over a thousand miles between her old life and her new. Being partnered with Brock King didn’t hurt either. He was smart, generous—and too sexy for words.
Placed under a microscope and intense pressure to solve a high-profile murder, homicide detective Brock King didn’t need or want a new partner. He managed his stress-filled life via sleep deprivation, a metabolism fueled by sugar and caffeine, and an all-consuming passion for his job. He had little time for anything else—and he was soul-tired of that wash-rinse-dry-repeat cycle. He’d written off finding a woman who’d put up with the odd hours, physical danger, and emotional stress of his job—until Kallie Redman. The woman was wicked sharp, ran on caffeine, and rocked one smoking hot body.
Unfortunately, the profession they chose had a way of grinding people into the ground, and the high-profile nature of this murder case guaranteed scrutiny from the press, the victim’s extremely wealthy family and politicians at the highest levels. He’d begun to question if he’d have a job at the end––or a shot at a life with Kallie.

The last thing arson detective Sean McBride expected while entrenched in the ongoing investigation of a serial arsonist was to meet a feisty insurance company fire investigator. But when she landed at his feet, breaking her wrist, he had more on his mind than just finding the elusive fire-starter. Picking her out of the ashes was easy. Needing to work with her…not so much.
Harper Walsh was stunned when the handsome detective insisted on taking her to the ER…even more stunned when he suggested they work together. But the stoic detective gave mixed messages…did he want her arson experience or something more?
Finding a woman who understood the demands of his job quickly had their partnership grow into love. He even introduced her to his large, crazy, but loveable family. But the arsonist was not as hidden as they suspected, and Harper gets too close to danger before Sean has a chance to smoke him out. 
Will Sean be able to save Harper before the arsonist goes up in flames, taking her with him?

Title: The Other Guy: A Textdoor Neighbor Romance
Author: Jennifer Van Wyk
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Small Town Romance

OUR REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book brought me back to all the people I love in Jennifer Van Wyk’s world.

Jack has made a comfortable life for himself instead of becoming the chef he studied for he takes over the ownership of the boxing gym that gave him and his mom back the confidence they had lost. Jack starts getting texts from girls about the fantastic night they had but too bad it’s not him they’re talking about but the idiot who gave out his number.

Sierra is a free spirit kind of goofy, staying with her uncle for a bit. She adds the fun into what has become the though comfortable but mundane life of Jack. Jack gives Sierra the feelings that she shies away from.

This is a sweet story about the ying and yang each brings to a relationship adding the text twist that’s closer than they think and will keep you turning the pages!

-5 Stars!-

I’m The Other Guy.

No, it’s not what you’re thinking so calm down. And yes, I just dared to say the words “calm down”.

He’s the guy your mama warned you about.

I just so happened to be his number neighbor.

Yeah, you read that right.

I’m the Textdoor Neighbor to the guy having one night stands with seemingly the entire town.

And I’m the lucky one who gets to “break up” with his not so lucky conquests.

Turns out, breaking up with most of them wasn’t as hard as I’d expected it to be.

Until she came along.

I was content living my boring life, running a boxing gym and going home to an empty house.

She made me realize that maybe being content isn’t enough.

I’m Jack Cole.

And this is the story about how I became… the other guy.

I don’t take the time to turn on light switches and neither does Sierra. Instead, we fly down the hallway, dropping our coats along the way. I push through my bedroom door, the knob hitting the wall with a loud thwack but it could punch a hole in my sheetrock for all I care. I can fix it later. Right now I have better things to worry about. She flips on the light as she follows and murmurs, “I wanna see.”

“Good. Because I plan on staring at you for a while.”

“A while?”

“Hours.”

“Oh my,” she breathes and starts stripping off her clothes. I stop her, wanting to do it myself but she bats my hands away, ripping her cardigan off and tossing it behind her. She shakes her head, her long dark hair swishing around her. “You do you. I’ll do me. This time. I don’t have the patience to wait longer.”

I grin and whip my shirt off as she undoes the button on her jeans, watching in amusement as she tries to simultaneously remove her shoes and skintight pants at the same time. She falls on the floor with a thud but it doesn’t stop her mission. She quickly unzips the side of her boots, kicks them off then wiggles out of her jeans while I finish undressing as well.

She works off her tank top and is standing before me, chest heaving in only a bra and underwear. There’s nothing particularly sexy about them. A black cotton bra and pink panties with black polka dots. For some reason, the simple combo does things to me. Way more than if she were in some skimpy lingerie that didn’t match who she is. I like the fact that top to toe, Sierra is who she is and she doesn’t feel the need to change that in front of me.

“You’re gorgeous.”

“You’ve seen me in less,” she reminds me.

“Yeah, but that was different.”

“How so?” she asks, walking to me. She lays soft hands on the bare skin of my waist and I swear I feel a zip of electricity shoot up my spine.

She presses her lips to my chest and I let my forefingers slide under her bra straps. “Because then, we were friends.”

“We aren’t friends now?”

I can tell she’s both teasing and nervous when she asks. She wants me to admit to liking her more than friends just like I want to admit it.

“I’m not a one and done guy, Sierra. This? It’s real for me.”
