NEW FAVORITE: The Time In Between by Kristen Ashley (Read my Review)
Holy Alpha romance swooooooon!!!! This was a gorgeous, heart-warming second chance romance and I loved it!!!! The hero and heroine reconnect 18 years after being torn apart and holy freaking feels! Their reunion was epic!!! I especially loved how functional they were as a couple! The two decades they’d lost together made them take full advantage of how precious their second chance at a happily ever after was. Fair warning, this story does have a pretty slow start, but it also does pick up! And the hero is a single dad and seeing him be such an amazing father to his little girl just melted my heart!!!! Ooooooooh and there are cameos too!! This is a standalone in the Magdalene series but you can read it alone. If you’re a fan of Alpha romance, this is a must-read!! Be sure to grab a copy as it was released this week!!

TOP FAVORITE! Can standalone: “After a painful loss, she is coming to start the next chapter of her life. A chapter that began eighteen years ago but had a heartbreaking ending. The time in between was full of family and friendship, but she could never get the man she fell in love with all those years ago out of her heart…
He has learned to live without the girl who entered his life right when she shouldn’t and exited delivering a crippling blow he never would have suspected. The time in between was full of failing to find what he was missing…and life-altering betrayal. But when that girl shows up and buys the town’s beloved lighthouse, even if he wants to avoid her, he can’t. A fire in town sparks a different kind of flame that won’t be ignored…”
Can standalone: I’m a brain surgeon and notorious over-thinker, I take the analytical approach with everything, until I can determine the best plan of action… Besides my full-time job as Chief of Neurosurgery, I’m a single dad and my number one priority is my daughter.
But life had plans to add another priority to my list. Charlotte Hollis. Outspoken, impulsive, and beautiful, she’s everything I didn’t know I was craving. She makes me wonder what if? …What if I don’t have to be alone for the rest of my life to give my little girl the father she deserves? It’s a battle—my battle: Head vs. Heart.
Elliott Redeemed by Scarlett Cole —

She’s watched her fourteen-year-old son go so far off the rails, he can no longer see the tracks.

Nineteen Letters by Jodi Perry — New Release!!
Standalone: What would you do if the love of your life had no memory of you? A man tries to win back the love of his life after an accident has her in a coma in this emotional, romantic drama from #1 ebook phenomenon J. L. Perry writing as Jodi Perry
The 19th of January, 1996 … I’ll never forget it. It was the day we met. I was seven and she was six. It was the day she moved in next door, and the same day I developed my first crush on a girl.
Then tragedy struck. Nineteen days after our wedding day, she was in an accident that would change our lives forever. When she woke from her coma, she had no memory of me, of us, of the love we shared.
That’s when I started writing her letters.The stories of our life. Of when we met. About the happier times, and everything we’d experienced together. What we had was far too beautiful to be forgotten.
Disorderly Conduct by Tessa Bailey —
Can standalone: He’s a police academy cadet who can’t believe his luck when the gorgeous blonde he meets in a bar murmurs those magic words: “Nothing serious, ’kay?” Mind-blowing, no-strings sex with her is the holy grail of hookups for a guy who’s too busy following in his law enforcement family’s footsteps to think about getting serious. He’s all about casual…that is, until she calls it quits and his world tilts on its axis.
She knows that when you control the relationship game, you can’t get played. But for the first time, she wants more than short-term satisfaction. Step one: end her fling with him. Step two: sacrifice herself to the ruthless NYC dating scene. Yet everywhere she turns, there’s him, being his ridiculously charming self. No online match or blind date compares to the criminally hot cop-in-training, but they’re over. Aren’t they?
If love is a four-letter-word, why does the idea of her seeing someone else tie him up in knots? Now he’s desperate to win her back… and a little date sabotage never hurt anyone, right?
Series: These Royals will ruin you. He has it all: looks, money, intelligence. His goal in life is to have as much fun as possible. He never thinks about the consequences. Until she appears, shaking up his easy life. She’s the one girl who’s said no, despite being attracted to him. He can’t figure her out and that makes her all the more irresistible.
She doesn’t want him. She says he needs to grow up. She might be right. Rivals. Rules. Regrets. For the first time in her life, wearing a crown isn’t enough. He’s about to learn that the higher you start, the harder you fall.
Can standalone: She’s the sexiest female athlete of the year. She’s the woman I met in a bar in Vegas. The woman I illegally base jumped for. The woman I spent one insane, incredible night with. But now I’m screwed. Or rather…not screwed. Because the woman I can’t get out of my head is the one woman I can never touch again.
I’m the youngest professor on this campus,
And she just walked into my class.
Standalone: He’s tortured and dark, angsty and arrogant. You want the truth? He’s kind of an A-hole. He’s also the CEO. — “Everything in my life goes according to plan, and that’s the way I like it. I got the degree. I got the job. Now I just need to prove that I have what it takes to succeed in the real world. If there’s one thing that’s not in my plans, it’s falling in love with my boss… Most relationships don’t start with one person calling the other out in public for being an arrogant jerk. Then again, most CEOs don’t cut their own employees in line at the coffeehouse and bark orders at people like they own the place. Maybe pissing him off isn’t the right move. And now that he’s part of my world, all my plans go straight to hell.”
Series: He’s known as the handsomest brother in his family with the most jovial personality. Now that his busy winemaking season is over, he’s happy to spend time with his family and take a well-deserved break from the conspiracy surrounding them… until an unlikely woman and a secret shatter his world.
She has been on her own since she was fifteen. When her past collides with his family’s mysteries, she’s determined to find the truth. She has her own issues, and she’s not looking for a relationship, despite her all-consuming attraction to him. The gorgeous dark-haired man gets under her skin anyway and he needs her. Together they explore both of their histories, but those pasts could cost them a future.
Last First Kiss by Sidney Halston —
Can standalone: He’s an A-list Hollywood heartthrob. She’s trying to prove herself in a man’s world. For this female bodyguard, protecting her client is simply business, but what happens when sparks fly and the danger heats up?
After a series of box office flops, he needs a hit. Bad press, shit talking, rumors, lies… it all goes with the territory after almost two decades in the spotlight, but when he lands the role of his career in a controversial biopic, the part of a lifetime comes with a catch: a hired bodyguard… No arrogant playboy will fuck up her concentration by batting his lashes at her. She would never jeopardize her reputation by swooning over any man. That had happened once, and she wouldn’t bear that loss or humiliation ever again. Even if he looks like a walking fantasy…
Protecting the Girl Next Door by Samantha Chase & Noelle Adams —
Can standalone (re-release): I like women, and I like adventure. I always have. The last thing I want to do is settle down with the girl next door and live a boring, domestic life. So I have no idea what I’m doing here, posing as a first-grade teacher… It’s the most ridiculous undercover security job I’ve ever had to work. Corralling a bunch of six-year-olds while I try to do my job and keep anyone from knowing how clueless I really am. I manage to fool everyone. Except her.
She’s an actual teacher, and she’s determined to find out what I’m really doing here. She doesn’t trust me, and her daughter doesn’t like me. And the worst part is that I’m starting to like them. A lot. So now, instead of being the tough guy, I’m stuck with rowdy children and Christmas pageants and falling in love. It’s not the way I thought I’d spend Christmas.
Protecting the Movie Star by Samantha Chase & Noelle Adams —
Can standalone (re-release): The story of my life isn’t pretty. I come from the wrong side of the tracks. I’ve been a criminal. I’ve been homeless. I almost killed my father, and I might be responsible for the death of my best friend. I should not be wanting her… Her life story is the stuff of dreams. She’s America’s sweetheart – beautiful, talented, and famous – and she doesn’t want anything to do with me. I’ll protect her from a stalker since it’s my job, but that’s all I’m allowed. No touching, no lusting, no falling in love. I’m all wrong for her, and she’s completely off-limits. But I’ve never been good about following the rules.
