NEW REVIEW: Hate Story by Nicole Williams (Read my Review) 
This brand new release is a story about marriage of convenience that turned into real love!! The hero was a cocky millionaire from Germany who was totally thrown off his game by this sassy headstrong American woman who he’d just agreed to “fake” marry. They were genuinely complete opposites who were determined to hate each other and never fall in love… and yet despite everything, they couldn’t help but be drawn back together! I read this book in one sitting and while it was admittedly over-dramatic at times, I quite enjoyed the read! Hot, swoony, and satisfying!!

DETAILED LIST: NEW RELEASES

 

Retreat by Jay Crownover — New Release!!

Can standalone: “I was a woman on the edge, shaken and shattered after a breakup that felt like it tore my entire world apart. My best friend, sick of watching me drown in misery and melancholy, harassed me until I agreed to go with her on a week-long wilderness retreat. It was supposed to be all about the two of us roughing it and making do with the bare minimum…

Nowhere in the glossy brochure did it say anything about the fact I was going to have to battle the insufferable but deliciously rugged and sexy trail guide instead of the elements. The brochure also forgot to mention the part that warned when you left civilization behind, there was no place to pack your inhibitions and fears… No one mentioned that I was going to have to fight for my life…and my heart as soon as I ventured into the unknown…

 

Hate Story by Nicole Williams — New Release!!

Standalone: “She can’t let herself fall in love with the man she’s going to marry… Three years. A million dollars. A solution to both of their problems. They planned it all, from the story of their first meeting to the date of their divorce… But what they didn’t consider was chemistry, and they have no shortage of it. After too many near-kisses, she convinces herself that hating him is better than loving him, and the more she gets to know this soon-to-be-husband of hers, the more she discovers just how very much she truly, madly, and deeply hates him. This isn’t a love story. This is the other kind.”

 

Until Ashlyn by Aurora Rose Reynolds — New Release!!

Can standalone: “He knew she was drunk when she suggested they get married. He knew he should have taken her back to their hotel room and put her to bed. Instead, he did what he had been craving to do since the moment they met. Claim her as his.

Waking up married in Vegas isn’t something she ever thought would happen to her. Having her boss, a man she thinks is a dick, insist they stay married is absurd, but every time he touches her, she gets lost in him and wonders if maybe they are meant to be together…”

 

Everything for Her by Alexa Riley — New Release!!

Can standalone: “I’ll never forget the way she looked, so confident and sure of herself. I watched her from a distance. She wasn’t ready for me yet. I didn’t approach her and I didn’t disturb her, but I never once took my eyes off her… So the day I let her go, I set down a path for her. A path to me.”

She ready to start her new life. After graduating at the top of her class, she’s landed one of the most coveted internships in the United States. Hard work and determination have gotten her to this moment of living the life she only dreamed of growing up in foster care. She never expected him to be the greatest culmination of those dreams. But sometimes fate determines who you fall in love with. Who makes you lose control. Who owns your soul. And then you realize it wasn’t fate at all…

 

Divine Desire by Audrey Carlan — New Release!!

Can standalone: When veteran yoga instructor Mila Mercado was asked to attend a new class and report back to the studio, she had no idea that the over-confident, ruggedly sexy newbie Atlas Powers was going to teach more than just a very controversial and erotic form of yoga.

He teaches yoga by day and works at his passion by night until the fiery woman walks into his class and gives the term desire a whole new dimension… In this wicked hot tale of love and lust, two struggling artists are trying to make their dreams come true. Only one thing gets in the way… until they stop fighting long enough to burn up the sheets and the yoga studio with a divine desire neither of them can avoid.

 

All He Feels by Melanie Shawn — New Release!!

Can standalone: She didn’t think she could feel so connected to another person after one night of “just talking.” The beautiful and famous country singer had everything in her life—everything but that connection. And after experiencing it for the first time, she wanted more, and she wanted it with him…

He felt it the second he laid eyes on her. From that moment, the bodyguard and former Marine knew he had to make her his in every way possible. But when she disappeared from his life after leaving only a note to say she’d never forget him, he didn’t know how…

 

How Not to Let Go by Emily Foster — New Release!!

Can standalone: Once upon a time, a med student set out to have a purely physical fling with a gorgeous British doctor in her lab. It didn’t quite work out that way. Instead, secrets—and desires—were bared, hearts were broken, and she knew she had to leave this complicated, compelling man who remains convinced he can never give her what she needs.

Walking away is one thing. Staying away is another. They reunite at a conference, rekindling a friendship they struggle to protect from their intense physical connection. Little by little, she gets a glimpse into his dark past and his wealthy, dysfunctional family. Soon, she’s discovering what it means to have someone claim her, body and soul. And she’s learning that once in a lifetime you find a love that can make you do anything…except let go.

 

Bad Mommy by Tarryn Fisher — New Release!!

Standalone: Note, this is a psychological suspense novel and not a romance.

— When Fig Coxbury buys a house on West Barrett Street, it’s not because she likes the neighborhood, or even because she likes the house.

It’s because everything she desires is next door: The husband, the child, and the life that belongs to someone else.

 

Face-Off at the Altar by Toni Aleo — New Release!!

Can standalone: Toiling away on a minor-league hockey team hundreds of miles away from home, he’s watching his dreams of an NHL career fade away. Add in the lingering guilt he has over the dramatic demise of his relationship with college girlfriend, and he’s a mess on and off the ice.

She has been hurting since fleeing Nashville following the horror of his betrayal with her sister. Now a professional photographer, she finds herself in the same place at the same time with him to celebrate [a] wedding. Neither of them has been able to move on—and they’re starting to wonder if they want to. They’re headed for a face-off unless they can confront their past and unearth the truth about what really happened on that fateful night.

 

The Twilight Wife by A.J. Banner — New Release!!

Standalone: A novel of psychological suspense that questions just how much we can trust the people around us.

She remembers nothing about the diving accident that left her with a complex form of memory loss. With only brief flashes of the last few years of her life, her world has narrowed to a few close friendships on the island where she lives with her devoted husband, Jacob. But all is not what it seems. Kyra begins to have visions—or are they memories?—of a rocky marriage, broken promises, and cryptic relationships with the island residents, whom she believes to be her friends. As she races to uncover her past, the truth becomes a terrifying nightmare…

 

Caught by Janet Elizabeth Henderson — New Release!!

Can standalone: “He wants forever. She just wants his body. Neither of them want to give in… He has it all. As a successful music manager, who isn’t hard to look at, he has women falling at his feet. And that’s just the way he likes it. For years he’s laughed as his buddies have found their women and settled down. He vowed it would never happen to him. Until he sets eyes on the owner of the town’s new spa. She’s everything he didn’t think he wanted, but now desperately needs. She’s tough, wicked, smart and so damn sexy it hurts to look at her. He isn’t sure if it’s love at first sight, or just plain lust. All he knows is that she is the woman for him and he’ll do anything, and everything, to make her see that they are meant to be together…”
