Within These Walls by J.L. Berg — New release & new review!!

I just posted my new review for this book! It was a really sweet love story ➜ The heroine is a survivor. She was born with a damaged heart and has spent most of her life in the hospital. The (tattooed) hero is broken inside, grieving the death of a woman he’d loved. But when he sees her, something changes and he makes it his mission to try and bring happiness into her life… *** NOTE: Sales from this week only will be donated to a children’s heart charity so if you’re planning to read it at all, grab your copy now!!

 

Calmly, Carefully, Completely by Tammy Falkner — New review!!

SQUEEE!!! I just finished this and LOVED it!!! So many feels, so much swoon!! You can read it as a standalone (I did) even though it’s part of the Reed Brothers series. This story is about Pete Reed. He’s covered in tattoos and fresh out of jail but he’s a good man with a good heart, one of the Reed Brothers… And that’s when he meets HER. Again. Two and a half years ago he saved her and she’s been wanting to thank him ever since… Read my review.

 

Among The Echoes by Aly Martinez — Recent release & recommendation!!

Ok, I’m sneaking this one in too because it was recently released and I really loved it too! The story is a complete standalone but there’s a little twist that connects it with the two books posted above (if you’ve already read those books, you’ll totally *squee* when you read the twist 😉 ) This book was a sexy, suspenseful romance about a woman in witness protection who catches the eye of a celebrity boxer!! If you like strong, ALPHA, protective heroes, you’re going to LOVE Slate Andrews!! That man made me SWOOOOON!!!  Read my review.

 

Stay With Me by Sharla Lovelace — New release!!

But he’s only home for 4 weeks before he’s sent out again for another 9 months so every second they have together is stolen and precious…
