๐‘๐จ๐ฌ๐ž๐ฒ

I never thought Iโ€™d be a runaway bride. But when it came down to it, I just couldnโ€™t marry the wrong man.

So, I ran.

And somehow, I ended up in Star Falls, Coloradoโ€”stranded, no luggage, no planโ€”in a wedding dress with a past Iโ€™d rather forget.

Fate lands me in the only available rental in town, a cozy little cabinโ€ฆ right next door to Byron Miller, the brooding billionaire who wants nothing to do with me. Or this town.

๐๐ฒ๐ซ๐จ๐ง

I left Star Falls years ago, along with every mistake. Now Iโ€™m back, determined to build a luxury resort that might just rewrite my past.

The last thing I need is a distractionโ€”especially not one like the runaway bride that moved in next door. She has too many secrets and a smile so wide, I just canโ€™t look away.

But no matter how hard I try to keep my distance, thereโ€™s something about her, that refuses to be ignored.

Snow falls. Sparks fly. Late-night porch talks turn into something more, something neither of us expected. But Roseyโ€™s past isnโ€™t far behind, and my future here is hanging by a thread.

Sheโ€™s just passing through. Iโ€™m trying not to put down roots. But Star Falls, Colorado has its own plan.

CATCH THE KISS

L.B. Dunbar

Release Date: April 17 

Blurb:

Meeting Bolan Adler, professional baseball catcher and single dad, is a complicated story.

One involving a one-time kiss when I was young and silly. And a two-time tryst as some kind of midlife breakdown moment. 

Anyway, in the game of baseball, three strikes mean: youโ€™re out

I thought my third one might happen when Bolan Adler is the newest client of the sports management agency I work for. 

The same business that just promoted me to agent status when I havenโ€™t asked for the position. 

Also, the ridiculous company that wrote up a reputation repair report for the newest member of the Chicago Anchors which includes:

Bolan Adler needs a wife.

Heโ€™s decided Iโ€™m it. Only this isnโ€™t a game of tag.

Hearts are on the line when I meet Bolanโ€™s sweet sixteen-month-old, and my role goes from babysitting the bad boy of baseball to bonus-mom for his precious daughter.

Complicated, like I said. 

Add in when my fake husband starts tossing out real emotions about love, marriage, and a baby, and Iโ€™m just hoping to stay out of the strike zone. Because the obvious opponent on the field is love.

Will it win or lose at the end of the season?

About TILL SUMMER DO US PART (Coming 6/3/2025):

I got what I wanted. I became buddy-buddy with my boss in an instant. But the cost will be heftyโ€ฆfinding a husband by tomorrow. 

Scottie Price just started a new job, and itโ€™s a real sausage fest. Sheโ€™s the only woman on a team filled with Brads and Chads. Expecting a bachelor pad atmosphere, she is quickly corrected when she finds out everyone is happily married. 

In an effort to impress her boss, Scottie mentions her nonexistent husband in a company meeting. But eagle-eyed Chad points out her lack of wedding ring. Panicked, Scottie creates a story about her unhappy marriage. Unfortunately for Scottie, her boss has a solution โ€“ a one-on-one session with the best marriage counselor in the Northeast, who happens to be her bossโ€™s husband. 

With no way out of her lie, Scottie agrees to see him. Frantic, she calls in help from her best friend who sets her up with his brother, an improv-obsessed millionaire. 

Enter Wilder Wells. More than happy to take on the job, he teaches Scottie the main rule of improv: Always say yes. But the rule backfires during the session when Wilder signs them up for an eight-day summer marriage camp with all of Scottieโ€™s co-workers where sheโ€™ll have to share a cabin with her way-too-handsome fake husband.

โœ๐Ÿป Professor Romance’s Reviews: Vi Keeland’s Indiscretion โœ๐Ÿป

Overall Grade: A-

Tropes: hate to love; cinnamon roll MMC; grump/sunshine; forced proximity; workplace romance

Vi Keeland’s Indiscretion delivers a captivating romance that elevates the beloved enemies-to-lovers trope through exceptional character development and emotional depth. At its heart, this spicy contemporary romance succeeds by focusing on the compelling evolution of its main characters, Dawson and Naomi, whose journey from antagonism to love feels both authentic and deeply satisfying.

The story’s greatest strength lies in Dawson’s character arc. Keeland crafts a masterful transformation of a man initially closed off to love, peeling back his layers with deliberate care. His journey from emotional unavailability to vulnerability isn’t just convincingโ€”it’s impossible not to invest in. The author takes her time developing his character, ensuring that each step toward opening his heart feels earned rather than rushed.

Naomi serves as the perfect catalyst for Dawson’s transformation. Keeland writes her as a force of nature who refuses to accept Dawson’s emotional walls at face value. What makes Naomi particularly compelling is how she challenges Dawson’s preconceptions about love and relationships without losing her own identity in the process. She’s written with a refreshing combination of strength and vulnerability that makes her feel real rather than just a plot device for Dawson’s growth.

The antagonistic chemistry between Dawson and Naomi crackles from their first interaction, but Keeland demonstrates her skill by building tension naturally through their evolving dynamic. The “hate” in this enemies-to-lovers story never feels contrived; instead, it stems from genuine conflict between two strong personalities with opposing views on love and life. This makes their eventual transition to romance all the more satisfying.

The spicy elements of the story are well-integrated, serving to enhance the emotional connection between the characters rather than overshadowing it. Keeland maintains a perfect balance between steamy scenes and character development, ensuring that each intimate moment advances the story and deepens the reader’s understanding of both characters.

What truly sets Indiscretion apart is how Keeland keeps readers invested in the outcome even when the happy ending feels inevitable. The journey to get there is so compelling, and the character growth is so well-executed that readers will find themselves turning pages not just to reach the conclusion but to savor each moment of Dawson and Naomi’s evolution both as individuals and as a couple.

Indiscretion proves that even familiar romance tropes can feel fresh and exciting in skilled hands. Through strong character work, emotional authenticity, and engaging storytelling, Keeland has created a romance that will satisfy readers looking for both heat and heart.

In love and romance,

Professor A

A standalone enemies-to-lovers, fake engagement hockey romance.ย 

Iโ€™ve been secretly in love with Wilhelmina Reddi-Grinst since the third grade.

I should be the one taking her to our small-town high school reunion. The prom king finally gets his chance with the valedictorian.

Except she hates me.

To the world, Iโ€™m a pro hockey player with a million dollar smile. 

To Hemi, Iโ€™m the menace who (accidentally) sank her bike to the bottom of the lake.

I never thought Iโ€™d be able to right my wrongs until she took the teamโ€™s PR job.

Iโ€™d hoped I was making progress, winning her overโ€”one geriatric polka party at a time.

Until I got drunk one night and made a mistake. A very big mistake.

Now the world thinks weโ€™re both very much in loveโ€“โ€”except Hemi is absolutely in loathe. 

To save our jobs and reputations, we have to convince all our friends, family, and bosses that our fake relationship is the real deal.

Iโ€™ll do anything to protect her, especially if it means I get to be the best boyfriend Hemi never expected.

โœ๐Ÿป Professor Romance’s Reviews: Karla Sorensen’s Forever Starts Tonight, book 4 of her Wilder Family series โœ๐Ÿป

Overall Grade: A

Tropes: best friendโ€™s sister; workplace romance; surprise baby; small town romance; one night to get over it; age gap

Itโ€™s a travesty if you havenโ€™t read Karla Sorensen yet. Itโ€™s something that should be rectified as soon as possible. Iโ€™d love to tell you to drop everything and grab her most recent book, Forever Starts Tonight, but thatโ€™s a terrible place to begin. Instead, jump into the Wilder clan with The Plan and move into her Wilder series, landing on this most recent story. I will tell you right now that you will NOT put this series down once you begin. Sorensen has written a set of books that pick off parts of your soul little by little, replacing it with their decadent stories. After finishing Forever Starts Tonight, there are two main reasons why people should read Karla Sorensen.

  1. Her story pacing is impeccableโ€”thatโ€™s a capital โ€œIโ€ impeccable. The two books before Forever Starts Tonight, Head Over Heels and Promise Me This, were two of the slowest burns Iโ€™ve read from her (especially Promise Me Thisโ€”Ian made Sorensenโ€™s readers work for their patience). As I read those former books, the pacing was precisely what was required to develop Sorensenโ€™s character arcs. Setting up the issues of their pasts and helping them move past it even though their attraction and chemistry could potentially derail that work is where Sorensenโ€™s superpower exists. This is also the case with Forever Starts Tonight. While this isnโ€™t a slow burn like the previous books in the series, there is character work to be done, causing Jax and Poppy to work hard at finding their HEA. Every moment of this story is carefully drawn and quartered. The intentionality behind Sorensenโ€™s progression is the heartbeat of Forever Starts Tonight, which compels her readers through the story. If you think this is indicative of this newest book, it is not. It is a cornerstone of Sorensenโ€™s storytelling and why she has a rabid reader fanbase.
  2. Besides her story pacing, her ability to craft compelling characters is another strength. Sorensen writes emotionally messy characters, but not in a way that levels heaps of angst on her readers. Instead, she reminds us about the humanity of her characters and shows us a pathway through our challenges. In Forever Starts Tonight, I connected with Jax, her MMC, a man of few words but big hidden emotions. Jax has a long journey ahead of him from her Prologue. The difficult situation of his upbringing shades his present, and it takes the joy and intuitive nature of Poppy to unwind complex feelings. Sorensen makes her characters do the hard work of unraveling feelings and putting voice to them. She writes them in a way that makes them real and palpable for her readers. When Jax finally gets to a moment when he can accept himself for Poppy, their character development transitions away from uptight tension to a nuanced, impassioned love affair.ย  Through Sorensenโ€™s writing, we become emotionally invested because we see ourselves in her charactersโ€™ struggles, which helps us recognize and/or resolve our own emotional issues.ย 

I introduced my elderly mom to Karla Sorensen over a year ago, and she has become one of her favorites. She recently devoured the Wilder Family series (the first two books), and she looked at me and said, โ€œhow does she write such amazing stories with such loveable characters?โ€ I could only smile and say because I imagine Karla Sorensen knows life and people, and she makes us fall in love with both when she writes stories such as Forever Starts Tonight

Now, excuse me while I run to Amazon to purchase this story for my momโ€ฆshe has some reading to doโ€ฆjust like you.

In love and romance,

Professor A

Read the Prologue Here!

**LEVI**

โ€œI want him off my fucking team. Now!โ€

My testicles shrivel into dust as Coach Wood screams at Andie Lintour, the general manager for the Vancouver Agitators.

Spittle flies off his lip.

Eyebrows are slanted like knives, ready to strike.

And the veins in his neck protrude, making me question if it will be his hands that choke me or the scary, pulsing veins.

โ€œWill, we canโ€™tโ€”โ€

โ€œHe was fucking my daughter! We can do whatever the hell I say.โ€

Did you wince? Because I did.

I know what youโ€™re thinking. Posey, youโ€™re about to lose your life at the hands of your fuming, spitting, hulking-out coach. And your assessment of the situation is a fair and accurate one.

Because yes, Iโ€™ve never felt closer to death than at this moment right now.

To bring you up to speed, yes, I was fucking his daughter.

Yes, it was in the locker room.

Yes, it was out in the open where anyone could walk in.

Was it stupid? Absolutely.

Have I lost my mind? One hundred percent.

Do I have any defense? Not one.

Nope, this was pure stupidity. This was a move by a desperate man brought to his knees.

A weak man.

A man with no morals.

A man infatuated with a woman he canโ€™t control himself around.

โ€œI understand the circumstances,โ€ Andie says in her calming voice, โ€œbut we canโ€™t get rid of a player because he was having relations with your daughter. Posey is one of the best defensemen in the entire league.โ€ If I wasnโ€™t so terrified, Iโ€™d puff my chest. โ€œHeโ€™s under a no-trade clause. Even if we wanted to get rid of him, we couldnโ€™t.โ€

Iโ€™m not sure if I should be grateful for that clause because, at the moment, it wouldnโ€™t hurt to at least escape the darkness of death clouding Coach Woodโ€™s expression.

โ€œThen heโ€™s benched,โ€ Wood says as he looks me in the eyes, nostrils flaring. โ€œDid you hear that, you bologna-loving motherfucker? Youโ€™re benched.โ€

I swallow deeply as I dig my fingertips into the armrests of my chair. Not sure why he had to drag the bologna into this, but I donโ€™t bother asking as the vein in his bald head looks like itโ€™s maxed out on stress. โ€œI, uh, yes, I heard you the first time,โ€ I say, causing him to grow angrier.

โ€œOnce again, Will, I donโ€™t believe we can do that. We pay him a lot of moneyโ€”โ€

โ€œWe do.โ€ Will paces his office, and every time he goes near me, my ass clenches in anticipation of a ninja knife hand right to my trachea. โ€œWe pay him plenty of money, so why donโ€™t we just put him on the injured list, say he has a sore toe, and then he can figure out with his agent what heโ€™s doing for next year because he sure as fuck wonโ€™t be playing on my ice.โ€

Now, is Coach Wood being a touch extreme? Some might say yes without any context because who really wants to bench their starting defenseman? Itโ€™s not the smartest move as a coach, but the man has a good reason.

And sure, I shouldnโ€™t be taking his side. I should be defending myself and the ability to have sexual relations with anyone I damn well please, but hereโ€™s the thing . . . the situation runs a little deeper than what you see on the surface.

Itโ€™s more complicated.

I didnโ€™t just fuck some random girl on an arbitrary day in our locker room.

The coachโ€™s daughter was riding me, completely naked, in the middle of the locker room after he struck a deal with me to hire his daughter as my assistant to teach her a lesson.

And before you even ask, no, the lesson was not on the science of how the penis meets the vagina.

It was a tough lesson about life.

So yeah, this really is on me.

**Raises hand** Yup, I take the blame.

Guilty.

The only question is, how the hell am I going to get around this? From the way he spoke so cruelly of my precious bologna, I donโ€™t think offering him a daily sandwichโ€”made by yours trulyโ€”is going to mend the severed ties weโ€™ve created.

Nope, this will take a monumental, epic proposal of apologies, especially if I want to stay on this team. Which I do. My boys are here. My life is here.

Sheโ€™s here . . .

Which means I need a plan.

But I swore I wouldnโ€™t get them involved.

I said over and over again that I wouldnโ€™t use their idiotic advice or poorly constructed ideas, but I think desperate times call for desperate measures.

Itโ€™s time to call on the Frozen Fellas.

new release

โœ๐Ÿป Oh, Lawdy, Troy…you heart stealer! I missed posting this release yesterday, but you don’t want to miss Adriana Locke’s Pulse! It’ll definitely make your pulse race. โœ๐Ÿป

Pulse by Adriana Locke is now live! 

USA Today bestselling author Adriana Locke delivers a spicy, age gap, grumpy sunshine, workplace romance in the first book in the brand new Landry Security series. 

Troy Castelli acts like itโ€™s my fault that weโ€™re cooped up together in a room with one bed overlooking the ocean. I didnโ€™t ask for a stalker to break into my house and then send me a threatening email detailing my demise. And I sure as heck didnโ€™t request that my boss send Troy and his uber elite bodyguard skills to accompany me out of townโ€”although Iโ€™m not mad about it. 

A paid tropical vacation with a grumpy, gray-eyed bad boy in a suit isnโ€™t exactly a burden. 

But it is a giant test of my willpower. 

Troyโ€™s alpha protector tendencies drive me wild. His arrogant smirk gets under my skin. But itโ€™s his not-so-innocent touches, heated looks and touch-her-and-die vibes that are the final strike that ignite our explosive chemistry.  

The longer weโ€™re together, the more his broody exterior slips, and I get a glimpse of the real man beneath the sculpted muscles. Iโ€™m determined not only to unearth his mysterious past but also to make him realize what we have is more than just a fling in paradise.


That is, unless my stalker gets me first.
