“The perfect blend of heartfelt emotion and suspenseful swoons. Emma Renshaw grips the reader from the powerful prologue to the very last words. You don’t want to miss this book.” Author Catherine Cowles

From Emma Renshaw, author of the Vow series, comes a new small town romance about a guilt-ridden man returning home, a single mom, and the past that scars them both.

Ember, book one in the Ember series, is LIVE!

Ten years ago, I left Hawk Valley.

I never planned to return. Not to the regrets. The bitter memories. The guilt.

My baseball career gave me both the excuse and the money I needed to start over. Then my mom called, and I found myself headed back to the one place I swore I wouldn’t step foot again.

Meeting Delilah wasn’t part of the plan. Falling in love with her adorable son was even less so. And yet, what’s brewing between us is too intense to be denied. The unexpected passion is almost enough to distract us from the crumbling of both our worlds.

But even as the sparks fly, someone is waiting in the shadows to burn it all down.

The complete NYT Bestselling Series is available for the first time in one collection.

An emotional, searing love story that swept the world, all in one bundle. Includes Fixed on You, Found in You, Forever with You, Hudson, and Fixed Forever.

Stalking and restraining orders are a thing of Alayna Wither’s past. With her MBA newly in hand, she has her future figured out–move up at the nightclub she works at and stay away from any guy who might trigger her obsessive love disorder. A perfect plan.

But what Alayna didn’t figure on is Hudson Pierce, the new owner of the nightclub. He’s smart, rich, and gorgeous–the kind of guy Alayna knows to stay away from if she wants to keep her past tendencies in check.

Except, Hudson’s fixed his sights on her.

He wants her in his bed and makes no secret of it. Avoiding him isn’t an option after he offers a business proposition she can’t turn down and she’s drawn further into his universe, unable to resist his gravitational pull. When she learns Hudson has a dark history of his own, she realizes too late that she’s fallen for the worst man she could possibly get involved with.

Or maybe their less than ideal pasts give them an opportunity to heal each other and finally find the love their lives have been missing.

About the Author:
With millions of books sold worldwide, Laurelin Paige is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author. She is a sucker for a good romance and gets giddy anytime there’s kissing, much to the embarrassment of her three daughters. Her husband doesn’t seem to complain, however.

When she isn’t reading or writing sexy stories, she’s probably singing, watching Game of Thrones or Letterkenny, or dreaming of Michael Fassbender. She’s also a proud member of Mensa International though she doesn’t do anything with the organization except use it as material for her bio.

She is represented by Rebecca Friedman.

Overall Grade: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Writers are in the business of attempting to expose the human condition in such a way that our description [writers’ descriptions] resonates in the souls of other humans.” -Natalie Kusz, American Memorist

Many reviewers draw inspiration for their reviews from the book under review. This reviewer has done just that previously, and Tia Louise’s skill is such that there are hidden treasures written into her words and stories. She crafts wisdom as she shares a story that has a greater truth to it. In doing so, she connects the human condition to the lives of her readers. In her newest book, Here with Me, the biggest truth is the need to love yourself beyond your pain. Now, pain is defined in different ways to different people in the story. Some people’s pain and longing might seem lesser than another’s, but a condition of the human spirit is living life with both pain and joy and our responses to both. 

Sawyer’s pain resides in his “battle scars.” Louise creates this hero who has survived the deaths of his parents and a trauma from his experience in the military. Sawyer’s story resonates with people who hide behind their pain, shorting themselves of the abundance of life. For much of the story, Louise draws on Sawyer’s pain to create a profound emotional connection to an unwillingness to drop one’s past pains. While many of her readers might not suffer from PTSD as Sawyer does, we do suffer from believing we can’t be more than our past troubles or sins. That we cannot share that pain with others because it is too much to bear. Instead, we own the heaviness onto our shoulders when we could share the experience and lighten our own load. Sawyer’s character represents this difficulty to accept the challenges towards recovery and healing. In doing so, Louise points to the sometimes stubborn spirit of the human heart. 

Counter to Sawyer is Louise’s heroine, Mindy. Sawyer and Mindy have loved each other for most of their lives, but Sawyer’s pain prevents him from living an abundant life with Mindy. Like many of us, Mindy is waiting for Sawyer to accept her, and she measures her self-worth contingent on his love for her. Through Mindy’s characterization, Louise’s readers learn that self-worth must come from within. We cannot measure our ability to be loved from outside of ourselves. Instead, we must love ourselves first. Even though their circumstances are different, Mindy and Sawyer are Louise’s admonishments to accept ourselves, faults and all, and love ourselves just as we are. It’s a powerful lesson wrapped up in a story that tugs at your heartstrings. 

Through her characterization and storytelling, Tia Louise draws us in deeply to Here with Me. I enjoyed Wait for Me, the previous story in this series, but Sawyer’s story grabbed a piece of my heart in ways that his sister’s story didn’t. Sawyer seems broken with the possibility of mending. However, he must value himself enough to do the work. I connected with this lesson because we all have cracks in our souls that could use some self-love to mend. And, like Sawyer, we oftentimes think we aren’t worthy of it. As Tia Louise unleashes this truth, she empowers her readers through Sawyer’s evolution to look inward at those cracks, seek out love, and allow ourselves to bask in it as it seals up our hurts and refreshes us. From its first page to its last, Here with Me grabbed little bits of me and made me believe in the power of love to bind my hurts. 

In love and romance,

Professor A

From New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst comes a new women’s fiction novel featuring three generations of Ferrari women who need to heal the broken pieces of their lives…and one trip of a lifetime through Italy.

Our Italian Summer, an all-new women’s fiction novel by New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst is coming January 12, 2021!

Workaholic, career-obsessed Francesca is fiercely independent and successful in all areas of life except one: family. She struggles to make time for her relationship with her teenage daughter, Allegra, and the two have become practically strangers to each other. When Allegra hangs out with a new crowd and is arrested for drug possession, Francesca gives in to her mother’s wish that they take one epic summer vacation to trace their family roots in Italy. What she never expected was to be faced with the choice of a lifetime. . . .

Allegra wants to make her grandmother happy, but she hates the idea of forced time with her mother and vows to fight every step of the ridiculous tour, until a young man on the verge of priesthood begins to show her the power of acceptance, healing, and the heartbreaking complications of love.

Sophia knows her girls are in trouble. A summer filled with the possibility for change is what they all desperately need. Among the ruins of ancient Rome, the small churches of Assisi, and the rolling hills of Tuscany, Sophia hopes to show her girls that the bonds of family are everything, and to remind them that they can always lean on one another, before it’s too late.

“If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times–Melanie Harlow is the quintessential romance author.”

— Laurelin Paige, New York Times bestselling author

Unforgettable, an all-new small town second chance romance from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow, is releasing May 4th, and we have the gorgeous cover!

Back then, I had it all.

Wicked fastball. Killer instinct. Cocky grin. Full package.

(And believe me, I knew how to score.)

My senior year, I was a first round draft pick with a two-million-dollar signing bonus. Before I could even legally buy myself a beer, I made my Major League debut.

Point is, I was invincible.

Until one day I wasn’t.

After tanking my career—during the World Series, no less—the last thing I want to do is return to my hometown, where every jerk in a ball cap has an opinion about what went wrong with my arm. So when my sister drags me back to town for her wedding, I vow to get in and out of there as quickly as possible.

Then I run into April Sawyer.

In high school we were just friends, but I’d always wanted her, and I’d never forgotten her—the red hair, the incredible smile, the crazy, reckless thing we did in the back of my truck the night we said goodbye. It’s been eighteen years, but one look at her and I feel like my old self again. I can still make her laugh, she can still take me down a notch, and when the chemistry between us explodes, it’s even hotter this time around—and I don’t want it to end.

But just when I think I’m ready to let go of the past and get back in the game, life throws me a curveball I never saw coming.

Overall Grade: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am a glutton for a sports romance. For a sports romance to “work,” I don’t need the sport to infiltrate the story. I mean, it adds some layers to the story, but it’s really the hero and heroine’s connection that gets me. Usually, sports romance heroes have this self-assuredness that can translate as “cockiness” which comes closest to my favorite type of hero, the alpha-hole. In my reflection, I think that’s why I love sports romances so much. However, there is my second favorite type of hero: the type of guy who is incredibly masculine but who has a special kind of compassion and empathy that he, to a certain degree, sacrifices a bit of himself to care deeply for his heroine. They aren’t “soft,” just caring to a degree that makes a woman swoon. 

With Kendall Ryan’s Hot Jocks series, she has offered us a variety of heroes. Prior to her forthcoming book, Wild for You, my favorite Hot Jocks hero has been Owen. Part of this has to do with his relationship with Becca. Given her background, Owen who was formerly a player falls deeply and embodies the hero I’ve described above. He becomes transformed, still incredibly masculine, but nurturing and thoughtful as a way to help Becca overcome her past. He made my heart expand and open as he loved Becca hard through her pain, and I have declared him the BEST hero in the Hot Jocks series. Until now. 

Wild for You offers us Grant, the captain of the team. From the other books in the series, we know he’s broody, sullen, quiet, a man of few words, and he tends toward being a loner. He’s absolutely dependable. Yet, it’s difficult to get a read on him because he keeps to himself…until he doesn’t. In Down and Dirty, Kendall Ryan reveals a bit of Grant’s nature: he’s a caretaker. When Ana, one of the girlfriends of a newer player on the hockey team, is abandoned by her mean-spirited boyfriend, Grant steps in and takes her home. It’s a revelation that there is a deeper layer to Grant than previously believed. As we know, grumpy heroes typically hide a depth not initially seen. 

As Wild for You begins, Ana finds herself in a problematic position with her boyfriend. Once again, Grant steps in and manages the situation, as a means to help her through it. We realize quickly that Grant carries a torch for Ana, but his integrity keeps those feelings in check. As the story progresses, Grant’s character is revealed, and he is NOW my favorite Hot Jocks hero. From page one until the end, Grant is a dream. He is a nice guy, but that persona is wrapped in a protective barrier of grumpy quietude. As such, it gives him enough edge that the “nice guy” doesn’t read anemic. There is so much to love about him that, in my opinion, he’s the best part of Wild for You. 

Now, I hate to ever disparage a heroine. I rarely do since there is usually something important about her journey. This is definitely the case with Ana. There are moments in the story where you find yourself frustrated with her because she keeps Grant at arm’s length. She makes it difficult for him to be his best person. However, her story is an important one. <spoiler alert> Ana’s former boyfriend was abusive. Given this situation, she has a need for independence. While we, the readers, see the incomparable Grant as her soulmate, Ryan intentionally creates space between these two so that Ana has the space to heal, eventually ending up with her soulmate. This space can be frustrating in the storytelling, but it’s necessary towards developing more layers in Ana’s character. It also creates the tension of the story which moves us through the story quickly, ravenous for their happy ending. 

I have enjoyed each of the books in Kendall Ryan’s Hot Jocks series, but Owen and Becca’s All the Way had held my top spot over the other five. Then, Grant poured his heart all over Wild for You, and this big sullen guy stole my heart and the top spot from Owen. For me, this is the best book of the bunch (there is one more coming, but it’s going to be a hard sell to uncrown Grant). It has the depth of story like Owen and Becca’s as it handles the important serious topic of domestic abuse. However, while Owen’s transformation was profound, Grant’s compassion and care for Ana, hidden behind his walls, made my heart ache for him over and over again. I’m going to be sad to see this crew of hockey players and their significant others go, but Kendall Ryan is leaving some of the best for last. 

In love and romance,

Professor A

Wild for You

By Kendall Ryan

Release Day: April 20, 2020

About the Book

He’s growly. Grumpy. Stubborn.

And now, my new roommate.

Walking away from my disastrous last relationship was an easy decision, but moving in with a friend-of-a-friend hockey star who’s rarely home? Not quite as simple, because Grant makes me feel things even I don’t understand.

One thing’s for certain, though. I definitely shouldn’t have crawled into his bed that night.

• • •

There’s a brightness to her eyes I can’t seem to look away from.

She’s beautiful. Smart. Tempting.

And a little fragile.

I’ve never been anyone’s knight in shining armor, but when Ana needed a place to stay, it was easy to move her in with me.

Not so simple, though, is keeping my hands—or my mouth—to myself. And the night she crawls into my bed and shares her body with me has me conjuring up all kinds of ideas about our future.

Until a big surprise I never saw coming changes everything.

If you like sexy, confident men who know how to handle a stick (on and off the ice), and smart women who are strong enough to keep all those big egos in check, this series of athlete romances is perfect for you!

(Books can be enjoyed in any order.)

Star Crossed, a sexy and unforgettable second chance romance by New York Times bestselling author C.D. Reiss, is available now!

Read my 5+ ⭐️review HERE.

Michael Graydon has it all – looks, fame, and a couple of Oscars.

Does he see me in the crowd of paparazzi?

Does he know I sell pictures of him to the tabloids as if money could ever erase the feel of his lips on me?

Does he think I forgot the way he broke my heart?

Or does he know that I’ve ruined everything I’ve ever loved?

*

We were seventeen when I left, and I never forgot Laine. Not for one minute.

Since that day I’ve measured all women against her and every one of them has come up short.

We’re in the same town, on the same block, in the same building, and the gulf between us is just too wide to cross.

Until I stop running from trouble long enough to throw her camera off a balcony.

She’s a career-killer. A PR disaster.

Loving her again is career suicide, and I don’t care.

This time, I’m running toward her, even if it ruins me.

** Star Crossed was previously released as Shuttergirl, and includes a brand new epilogue and previously unpublished, totally swoon-worthy and emotional new scenes.

Excerpt

“Really.” I grabbed my camera. “Thank you for the eggs. Your apology is accepted, and your warning… I get it. Thank you. I’ll keep my eyes out.”

Fifteen steps to the door. Why were those lofts so damn big? What was I thinking?

Five steps, and I heard a shuffle behind me, the scrape of a chair. I picked up the pace, and I knew he was behind me. By the time I got to the door, his chest was against my back and his hand was over the door jamb.

“Don’t,” he said.

“Don’t what?”

“I’m going to get between you and this. I don’t like anyone knowing where you are. I don’t like you walking around at night unprotected. Especially because of me.”

I turned, putting my back to the door. “I haven’t seen you in ten years. Now this?”

“I should say it’s that I feel responsible for what’s happening. But you’re in this business as much as I am, so it’s not that. It’s you. I was up half the night thinking about you in those bleachers. The things you told me. The stuff I told you. How I felt. Back then, I was so confused, and I left you without a call or checking on you for reasons that…” He shook his head. “The reasons were pathetic. No one would have approved of you, and I lived on approval.”

He touched my hair, and those long strands became nerve endings for desire. The little hairless spot on his chin shifted, and I wanted to touch it so badly that I did so without thinking.

“Whatever it was I felt before, I’m not hiding from it this time. This time, I’m not going to worry what anyone else thinks,” he said.

“What if I’m worried?”

“I’ll make you not worried.”

His breath warmed my cheek, and I believed he could change things, even as I knew he couldn’t. He could only drag himself down. This could only go bad. But I turned my face until my lips touched his, and he stopped being a movie star. He was the boy in the bleachers, the one who worked too hard and cared too much, and I became the girl who could be anything she wanted, the one who was accepted and whose life was about to turn around.

But I’d wanted it then. I’d wanted his hand in mine to be the warning bell for change. In the penthouse loft, with his lips and tongue growing more urgent and his hands on the sides of my face, I didn’t want my life to change. I’d done everything I’d set out to do since he’d left, and there he was again, ready to destroy everything I’d built in exchange for a mouth that fit mine like a palm curled over a fist.

I turned to face the door, still trapped by his arms, and opened it a crack. He slapped it shut.

“If you’re not busy, I want to take you somewhere.”

“I’m always busy,” I said, leaning into him.

“Doing what?”

“Taking pictures of Hollywood royalty.”

“Bring your camera then.”

About CD Reiss

About PROVOKE:

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken comes a new story in her Seaside Pictures series…

The music industry called me a savant at age sixteen when I uploaded my first video and gained instant fame. And then Drew Amherst of Adrenaline became my mentor, and my career took off.

Everything was great.

Until tragedy struck, and I wondered if I’d ever be able to perform again. I fought back, but all it took was a falling light to bring it all back to the fore. So, I walked away. Because I knew it wasn’t just stage fright. It was so much more.

The only problem?

Drew and the guys are counting on me. If I can’t combat the crippling anxiety threatening to kill me, I might lose more than I ever dreamed of.

Enter Piper Rayne, life coach, with her bullshit about empowerment, rainbows, and butterflies. She smiles all the damn time, and I’m ninety-nine percent sure there’s not a problem she can’t solve.

Until me.

She was given twenty-one days to fix me. To make me see what’s important. What’s real. The problem is, all I can see now is her. The sexy woman who pushes me. Provokes me.

Only time will tell if she’s able to do her job—and I can make her mine.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**
