NEWEST FAVORITE: Sidebarred by Emma Chase
This companion novella to Sustained (my review) was such a sweet read! If you love romances with kids, these are must-reads!! Sustained (a standalone full novel) was one of my favorite books of 2015 and Sidebarred had the heart-warming feels you can imagine packed into a gorgeous novella about the same couple. It was swoony, hilarious, adorable, and even hot!!! It had all thing things so many of us romance readers love: family, babies, parenting, and a massive epilogue with every single detail you could ever possibly wish for… I LOVED IT!!! Definitely would recommend these!

DETAILED LIST: NEW RELEASES
When I’m with You by Harper Sloan — New Release!!
Alpha romance in Hope Town series, interconnected standalones!
— “It’s nearly impossible to be surrounded by love but not understand it… To give your trust to someone else and believe they would die before hurting you. I’ve witnessed it—I’ve seen the power of it—but I’ve also seen the pain. Because for me, I’ve only loved someone I could never have, and my biggest fear is that by giving her my love, all I would do is ruin her. I should have tried harder, but I’m not sure I can because I only feel complete when I’m with her.”
Sidebarred by Emma Chase — New Release!!
TOP FAVORITE: heart-warming companion novella to Sustained!
— “There was a time when he had it all together… He was controlled, driven, ruthless. Then, six irresistible orphans and their heartbreakingly beautiful aunt crashed into his perfectly ordered life. They changed everything. They changed him. Now he’s a husband, an upstanding member of society, a father figure—a family man… And he’s pretty damn good at it. So, of course something has to screw it all up. It’s huge. Life-changing. Kind of terrifying… And it will be the most amazing, perfect thing he’ll ever do.”
Ladies Man by Katy Evans — New Release!!
A sexy friends-to-lovers romance. Can standalone!
— “Irreverent, cocky, playful and naughty. He’s not the guy you date. He’s the one night stand. The one your mother warned you about. The one your body craves… You’d think the man who called me succulent would want to strip me down and spread me out on his bed. But he passed on my offer… Just like I’d once passed on his. He’s wary, like I am. He’s broken, like I am. And everyone knows two broken parts can’t ever make a whole. He and I are strictly friends. But the more time we spend together, the more confused I feel. I’m trying to open myself to love. Yet I’m quickly realizing that the only man I want is the one man who will surely break my heart.”
Tapping The Billionaire by Max Monroe — New Release!!
Sexy, laugh-out-loud bad boy romance! — “She has zero luck with dating, and she can’t find her way out of this weird, alternate universe where men think dick pics are a replacement for small talk and getting to know a girl. One more crotch selfie and she might write men off for good… But why can’t she stop fantasizing about him?
He’s the quintessential billionaire bad boy—dark, styled, short hair, muscles for days, and a panty-dropping smile. Except—he isn’t. As his employee, he won’t touch her with a ten foot pole. But she won’t touch him either. Too bad their hormones missed the memo.”
Ride Hard by Laura Kaye — New Release!!
First standalone in series! — As Motorcycle Club President, “he rides hard and values loyalty above all else. He’ll do anything to protect the brotherhood of bikers as well as those who can’t defend themselves. So when she lands on the club’s doorstep scared that she’s being hunted, he takes her in, swears to keep her safe, and pushes to learn the secrets overshadowing her pretty smile… She fled from years of abuse and is suspicious of any man’s promises, including those of the darkly sexy and overwhelmingly intense leader. But as the powerful attraction between them flares to life, he pushes her boundaries and tempts her to want things she never thought she could…”
Shameless by Lex Martin — New Release!!
Standalone romance!
— “What the hell do I know about raising a baby? Nothing. Not a goddamn thing.
Yet here I am, the sole guardian of my niece. I’d be lost if it weren’t for the beautiful girl who seems to have all the answers… who’s slowly finding her way into my cynical heart. I keep reminding myself that I can’t fall for someone when we don’t have a future. But telling myself this lie and believing it are two different things…”
Return of the Bad Boy by Jessica Lemmon — New Release!!
A bad boy rock star finds out he has a son, can standalone!
— “He lives for the next gig, the next city, and dreams of a life spent in front of an arena full of screaming fans. But his nomad ways come to a sudden stop when he learns he’s the father of a three-year-old from a past relationship and he’s forced to put down roots… She’d never risk giving her heart to a man who has a perfect record for breaking them. Except the man desperate to make things right with his son is nothing like the rock god she’s guarded her heart against for years. And it isn’t long before she starts to wonder if life with this bad boy might be the best thing that’s ever happened to her…”
Filthy Foreign Exchange by SE Hall & Angela Graham — New Release!!
First in 2 book series — “She’s heartbroken when her brother gets accepted to a study-abroad program— exchanging places with a cocky, not-at-all-shy foreign exchange student… He had the life every twenty-year-old guy dreams of, until his father ripped it all away, shipping him off to the States and placing him temptingly close to the virgin who fascinates him… With his bedroom just a connecting bathroom away from hers, the chemistry between them is even more enticing than the notes he leaves for her on the shower door. How long can you pretend you’re just friends?”
How to Save a Life by Kristin Harmel — New Release!!
Groundhog Day meets Grey’s Anatomy in this heartfelt novella with a hint of magic in which a woman with only a short time to live discovers she can repeat the same day over and over until her life feels complete.– “When a pediatric oncology nurse receives a devastating prognosis—she has just weeks left to live—she finds unexpected comfort from a patient. Her young friend shares a secret: it is possible to live the same day over and over again until she’s experienced a truly full life. Thus begins a heartbreaking and joyful journey of love, friendship, and self-discovery, as the brave nurse only truly learns how to live in the face of death…”
Marry Screw Kill by Liv Morris — New Release!!
A no-cheating standalone romance.
— “There are two men in my life.
I’m marrying one,
want to screw the brains out of another,
and by the time this story is over
you may want to kill someone.
The choices are still pending…”
Pieces of Summer by CM Owens — New Release!!
Standalone second chance (ish) romance with a bad boy hero!
— Our story isn’t for everyone. Most people will probably hate it. Most people will probably hate us. I stopped giving a damn about what others thought a long time ago. Like I said, our story isn’t for everyone. It isn’t pretty. It’s not sweet. It’s not packaged neatly with a bow on top. No. Our story is painful, maybe even a little dark, but it’s real. Somewhere under all the pain lies something beautiful. It’s buried deep, so good luck digging it up. Our story might be ugly, but sometimes you don’t appreciate beauty until you’ve seen the worst. It’s real. It’s pure. It’s raw. Most importantly, it’s ours.
Play Fair by L.P. Maxa — New Release!!
A rock star suddenly becomes a single dad! Can standalone!
— “He has been called many things: immature, irresponsible, sexy as hell. But one thing he’s never been called is “Dad”—until Child Services shows up on his doorstep with a waifish nine-year-old claiming he’s the father.
What’s a rock star to do?
Call your best friend, who just happens to be super hot, funny, and even more commitment-phobic than you, and beg her to help…”
The Exception by Sandi Lynn — New Release!!
Standalone romance! — “I had everything I wanted in life. Money, looks, success, and beautiful women. Some of these women stayed around for a while and some left quickly. I was all for a relationship as long as she wasn’t looking for a ring or wanting to hear the words “I do.” I liked the way I lived my life and I was content. Plenty of friends, loving parents, and a successful billion-dollar company were all I needed to feel complete. No exceptions… Until the day a brown-haired, blue-eyed beauty sat down next to me on an airplane and, suddenly, everything that mattered to me didn’t seem to matter anymore.”
Ain’t She Sweet by Marie Force — New Release!!
Small town romance standalone in the Green Mountain Romance series!
— “She has gone out with every guy under thirty-five in town—except for one. His attempts to date her may be determined, and frequent, but she can’t stand how he acts… So when he turns up at the running club she joined to train for a marathon, she’s almost ready to quit before she even gets started… He knows that behind her dismissive attitude is a sweet woman he wants in his life. And when she suffers an injury while training, he’s ready to prove that the perfect man for her has been right there all along…”
Survivor by Nicole Blanchard — New Release!!
Standalone second chance romance! — “I knew falling in love with him was bad for us both, but I did it anyway. For a brief moment, we had it all. Even though he was leaving to join the Marines and I had college ahead of me, he was everything I ever wanted… But real life has a way of dashing dreams—and that happy future we envisioned together disappeared…
Ten years have passed and I’m not the same naïve girl that believed in happily-ever-afters. When unforseen events draw me back to our hometown and I find myself caring for my two teenage brothers, the last thing on my mind should be reconnecting with the hottie-turned-hero who I loved at seventeen. [But] I’ll have to trust him with the secrets that tore us apart if I want a second chance at his heart.”
The Last Boy and Girl in the World by Siobhan Vivian — New Release!!
YA standalone! — “What if your town was sliding underwater and everyone was ordered to pack up and leave? How would you and your friends spend your last days together? While the adults plan for the future, box up their possessions, and find new places to live, She and her friends decide to go out with a bang. There are parties in abandoned houses. Canoe races down Main Street. The goal is to make the most of every minute they still have together. And for her, that means taking one last shot at the boy she’s loved forever…”
Best of My Love by Susan Mallery — New Release!!
Small town romance standalone in the Fool’s Gold series!
— “To overcome her painful past, she goes on the hunt for a male to convince [herself] that men can be trusted. But where in a town as small as hers will she find a guy willing to not date her? Dark, charming Aidan Mitchell realizes he’s inadvertently become that guy—the one-night Casanova—and worse, everyone in town knows it. Maybe her boy/girl experiment will help him see women as more than just conquests so he can change his ways and win back his self-respect. [But] the heat between them fires up the town rumor mill. If no one will believe they’re just friends, maybe they should give the gossips something to really talk about!”
Delta: Revenge by Cristin Harber — New Release!!

He shouldn’t have touched her, but his mind won’t stay away from her. And then she’s taken. Gone. Just like his sister. But so much worse…
Mr. Perfect by JA Huss — New Release!!
First standalone romance in a new series of standalones!
— “Wanting the perfect man doesn’t make me crazy. I just know what I like.
A powerful billionaire in a suit wasn’t even my first choice. He was never on my radar, I didn’t even know he existed. But I do now… His hands are all over me at work. The heat of his chest pressing against my bare back as he bends me over the desk is the only thing on my mind. He is my most forbidden desires unleashed. He is my new secret obsession. He is my Mr. Perfect. Until the moment I realize… There’s no such thing as perfect.”
