Man for Me, an all new scorching hot novella from New York Times bestselling author Laurelin Paige and 1,001 Dark Nights, is available now!

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Laurelin Paige comes a new story in her Man In Charge series…

Brett Sebastian is the very best kind of friend.

Who else would get me a job at one of the biggest corporations in America?

And hook me up with his uber-rich cousin to boot?

And let me cry on his shoulder every time said cousin blows me off?

Okay, it’s pretty obvious that Brett cares about me in a different way than I do for him, but he seems fine with how things are, and our friendship works.

Until one fateful night when I’m mooning over his cousin, and Brett utters four words that should make me happy for him, should make me relieved, should balance out our uneven relationship:

“I met a girl.”

Suddenly my world is crashing down around me, and I’m forced to ask myself—am I only interested in Brett now that he’s taken?

Or have I been looking at the wrong man all along?

**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.**

Indigo Ridge by Devney Perry is now live!

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.

Life comes at you fast and love comes out of the blue…

A small town romance about letting go of the past and learning to live in the moment.

Out Of The Blue by P. Dangelico is now live!

Blue Baldwin takes no horse crap from anybody. Well, actually, that’s not entirely true. She does take horse crap. Piles of it. The real kind that is–not the metaphorical one. It kind of goes with the job description when you run a large animal rescue. What she does not take, however, is crap from an entitled movie star who needs to reform his rotten image.

Unfortunately, the farm she manages is in trouble and if she doesn’t raise the cash to save it she’ll be homeless along with the precious animals who depend on her. So she’ll grin and bear the King of Hollywood Screw Ups, and the assistant, and the overprotective brother he brings along. I mean, she takes care of large animals for a living. Isn’t that basically the same thing?

He’s a wild ride I have no intention of riding.

Wild Love by Rebecca Jenshak is now live!

Johnny Maverick is a lot of things.
Great hockey player
Loyal friend
Always up for a good time

And now, he’s my new roommate.

It’s only for a few weeks while I intern for the Wildcats – his new NHL team.
And there are some pros to living with my hot and ridiculous friend (or is that ridiculously hot?). He’s fun and unexpectedly sweet, and he reminds me not to take myself too seriously.

I had no intention of breaking the one rule given to me on my first day on the job: no sleeping with the players.
And if I had, I never dreamed that player would be Johnny Maverick.

April May Fall by Christina Hovland is now live!

April Davis totally has her life in order. Ha! Not really. Yes, she’s the Calm Mom—a social influencer with a reputation for showing moms how to stay calm and collected through yoga—but behind the scenes, she’s barely holding it all together. Raising tiny humans alone is exhausting, but that’s just the chewed-up cherry on the melted sundae of her life. Her kids aren’t behaving, her husband left her for his skydiving instructor, and her top knot proves she hasn’t showered in days.

Then a live video of the “always calm” April goes viral…and she’s most definitely not. Enter Jack Gibson, April’s contact at the media conglomerate that has purchased April’s brand. The too-sexy-for-his-own-good Jack will help clean up April’s viral mess, and even work with her to expand her influence, but toddler tea parties and a dog with a penchant for peeing on his shoes were definitely not part of the deal.

Now April’s calm has jumped ship quicker than her kids running from their vegetables. Not to mention, the sparks flying between her and Jack have her completely out of her depth. Forget finding her calm—April’s going to need a boatload of margaritas just to find her way back to herself again.

Declan Cross has a story… and he’d like to tell you every sordid detail of it.

Tease Me Once by Willow Winters is now live!

From USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling romance author, W Winters, comes a provocative tale of a club designed for wealthy sinners. It’s a story crafted for those of us who crave the villain.

Not everyone knows about The Club, which is by design. The main floor entertains the elite. There are dim lights, stolen touches and the liquor flows to ensure the guests get exactly what they want. There are high profile clients, masks and collars, contracts and secrets in every corner.

But it’s what lies beneath these floors, down the spiral staircase, that intrigues me the most.

There’s a man who stays in the corner of the darkest rooms. In this world of sinful tastes, he doesn’t hide his face like the rest of them; he’s not concerned with anonymity in the least.

Declan Cross is powerful, brooding and his dark eyes speak of damage that my soul begs to unravel. I’ve always been drawn to men who are rough around the edges, the bad guys so to speak… but he’s a kind of brutal that scares me.
So I promised myself I’d stay away.
I swore up and down, I would never give in to the fantasies that haunt me at night.

One night changed everything. He knows I witnessed everything that happened. There are no deals or negotiations with men like him.

He made it known in no uncertain terms what he desired most… I saw something I shouldn’t have. And now I’m his.


Tease Me Once is the beginning of a series. Prepare for everything seductive and beautifully dark.

I started writing after having my little girl, Evie, December of 2015. All during my pregnancy with her I read. I only wanted to read romance novels and I read everything I could get my hands on. I would read a book a day — sometimes two. In January I was staying up late with her and just thinking of all these stories. They came to me constantly. I finally sat down and just started writing. I always wanted to do it so I figured, why not?

I never thought I would reach this point of success to be honest. It’s insane to me that I have connected with so many readers.

And I love each and every one of them for all of their support. I’ll be honest, some days are HARD. I have my littles during the day and I write at night. Some days are just simply exhausting and then I hear from a reader and it motivates me to push through and keep writing. I couldn’t be more grateful for this wonderful career.

Overall Grade: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

“Love, real love, requires you to have both hands open so you can receive it. It’s surrender, not control that opens us up to all the possibilities of what could be.”

To be vulnerable and open to love is difficult. It requires laying down a self-imposed shield so that another being has the opportunity to inhabit one’s soul. In doing so, people open themselves up to being hurt, but on the other side, they can manifest a soulful love beyond explanation. In much of romancelandia, whether you’re reading smut or articulate, intentional romance with a social conscience, this is the crux of the stories. It’s also the struggles we encounter in everyday love relationships. 

In Hope Ellis’s next book of The Leffersbee Series, Before and After You, this idea is underscored, highlighted, and evoked through the love-to-hate relationship of Leigh and Walker. This is Ellis’s second contribution to the SmartyPants Romance series, and it’s another impressive offering. I fell hard for Hope Ellis with her first book in this series, Been There Done That, the story of Nick and Zora (Walker’s sister and Leigh’s best friend and roommate). That book tugged at my heart and showcased the storytelling capabilities of Hope Ellis who had been a new author to me. At the end of that story, I was ready for Walker’s book, given his playboyish ways. For me, taking a character who is equal parts gentleman and f’boy and making him lovestruck is my FAVORITE characterization. However, Ellis adds Leigh to the mix: a warrior of a woman, ready to fight for what is right, but also who sports soul bruises from her former marriage. This means a story where both characters will have to overcome their baggage in order to find their happy ending. Usually, with this type of story, the love is fated and its depth is profound, and Hope Ellis’s Before and After You is a perfect representation of this; it’s heady, funny, and a representation of the best of BIPOC authorship. We need more stories from Hope Ellis and other authors like her. 

What did I love about this story?

*For one, I adore a woman who fights for others. She tends to be the perfect mixture of sensitive and stalwart. Leigh absolutely embodies these traits, and her journey is an important one, as she must allow herself to become vulnerable with Walker in order to find her happy ending. Ellis has easily sculpted her into this story in ways that make her character sing across the page. 

*Walker is easily my favorite Leffersbee at this point. Don’t get me wrong. I still adore Zora, but Walker’s older brother leadership, his willingness to sacrifice his personal happiness for his family tradition, and his want to love Leigh well to his own detriment make him a hero who you can’t help but adore. 

*The familial connections of Walker and Leigh add more dimension to this story. I LOVE Pops and Leigh’s sister and brother-in-law. Her family adds compiclation to the story, and my heart hurt for her as my own similar hurts were embodied in Leigh’s story. 

*Even more important is the importance of stories from BIPOC authors such as Hope Ellis. It’s essential that they pervade romancelandia because a book such as Before and After You pulls back more of the curtain of the experiences of POC. The more we can read these stories, the more we can understand, and the more we can become better humans responding with empathy and care. Hope Ellis’s inclusion into the SmartyPants Romance is the best thing to happen for this brand.

Look, in a nutshell, Before and After You is a delight. It’s steamy, soulful, and holds a depth of character development and storytelling that spotlights the brilliance of Hope Ellis’s storytelling. If you haven’t grabbed this story yet, it should be the next book in your reading arsenal. 

In love and romance,

Professor A

Before and After You, an all-new heartfelt small town romance from Hope Ellis, is LIVE in Kindle Unlimited!

She fought to escape her dysfunctional family, to end a soul-killing marriage, and to build a new life in a small Tennessee town.  When the fate of the community hospital she works for is threatened, she’s primed and ready for battle. What she can’t fight any longer is her unshakable attraction to her best friend’s brother, who has a notorious reputation and triggers all her worst fears about trust and betrayal.

Walker Leffersbee is a lover. At least that’s the reputation he’s built in his hometown. Scion of a prosperous Tennessee banking family, he’s a known ladies’ man and a confirmed bachelor. His hands are full as he juggles competing demands from his family’s bank and his growing property renovation business. The last thing he needs is to give in to his long-standing craving for his sister’s headstrong and hot-tempered best friend. Especially because she’s the only one who knows the secret that threatens to upend his life.

When a home renovation project brings them too close for comfort, they both struggle to withstand the growing heat. As they grow closer helping each other navigate family minefields, Walker learns that love is not a four-letter word, and Leigh realizes that some battles are meant to be lost. 

But Walker’s secret is the one thing that could keep them apart, unless they both decide to fight for the love they never looked for but now can’t live without.

‘Before and After You’ is a contemporary romance and can be read as a standalone. Book #2 in the Leffersbee series, Green Valley Chronicles, Penny Reid Book Universe.
