*** NEW TOP RECOMMENDATION ***
The Mason List by SD Hendrickson (Read my Review)
HOLY WOW!!! This book was just BREATHTAKING!! I absolutely LOVED it and truly FELT this story with all my heart and soul. My heart raced with the intensity as this epic childhood friends-to-lovers romance built over the years and I honestly had tears in my eyes for the whole last 80% of the book. And that epilogue was perfect!!! This easily was one of the most BEAUTIFUL stories I’ve read.
A TOP FAVORITE STANDALONE. 5+++ STARS!!!
The story begins when the main couple are just 8 years old. The heroine’s mother is dying and they’re kicked out of their home and forced to sleep outside the hospital in the parking lot. The hero’s family finds them one night and even though they hate charity, they have no choice but to accept the help… Anyways, the book follows their story all the way through to adult-hood as they eventually fall in love.
This is a MUST READ!!! And I’d especially recommend it for fans of The Sweet Gum Tree. It had a different plot (not a second chance romance) but a very similar intensity. — Read my Review

SQUEE!!! I finished an advance copy of this upcoming standalone romance the other night and WOW was it ever amazing!!! Exquisitely heart-wrenching, it brought me to tears more than once!! The story is also SO much more than meets the eye. The blurb only tells you a part of what to expect… there’s an added layer to it that I absolutely LOVED!!! A new top favorite book!! Be sure to PRE-ORDER. You’ll want to read this the moment it’s released!! Review coming soon.

*** LATEST NEW RELEASES ***
The Vigilante’s Lover by Annie Winters — New Release!!
WOAH!!!! “If Bourne dressed like Bond and acted like Grey, you’d have Jax.” — She trembles as she reads the letter that arrives from Ridley Prison. Seduction. Rope ties. Things she’s never experienced. He longs for a woman who must’ve given him a fake address. Her address. She plans to send the letter back. He’s a convicted felon. But his words gnaw at her. She’s never done anything dangerous. So she writes him, pretending to be the woman he desires. The man is in prison for another fifteen years. It’s harmless. She is safe enough. Until he escapes. (!!!)
Branded by Tara Sivec — New Release!!
I’m excited for this!! It can be read alone but is the second standalone in the series following Burned, which I loved! — “I’ve spent seventeen years pushing men away. Then, he walked back in… I hate him for what he did to me, but I can’t stay away. Eighteen days filled with passion and promises. Nineteen letters filled with threats and foreboding. It only takes twenty minutes for the numbers to all add up… This is my story, and it’s going to leave a scar.”
Feel Again by Faith Andrews — New Release!!
This new student teacher romance sounds emotional and seems to have a second chance twist! It also appears to be a standalone.
The heroine has been a widow for 10 years. She’s ready to fill the void, but not to give her heart away again. A chance meeting instantly attracts her to the hero, “but when their paths cross again — this time as professor and student — the roles reverse as he teaches her how to feel again.”
The Girl On The Train by Paula Hawkins — New Release!!
This blurb grabbed me!!! — Described as a gripping, enthralling psychological thriller, it’s about a girl who takes the same train every morning. Every day she flashes past a stretch of suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to watch the same couple eating on their deck. Their life seems perfect. And then she sees something shocking. It’s only a minute until the train moves on, but it’s enough. Now everything’s changed. Unable to keep it to herself, she offers what she knows to the police, and becomes inextricably entwined in what happens next…
Sometimes Moments by Len Webster — New Release!!
Wow!! This sounds AMAZING and it’s a standalone! — Growing up, Peyton fell in love with the boy across the road, Callum. Until the morning he left town with no explanation. Left heartbroken, she spent the next four years without him. Until he shows up suddenly one day. He’s not the same boy she once fell in love with. He’s guarded and keeps secrets close to him…Whether or not she wants to hear it, the truth will undoubtedly break her heart all over again…
Dare by Allie Juliette Mousseau — New Release!!
This new release sounds GOOD and a reader just told me that she LOVED it!!!
The hero is a dirty-talking bad boy UFC fighter, and the heroine is a single mom who’s hired as his exclusive massage therapist..
It’s the first standalone in a series of standalones.
Winter by Frankie Rose — New Release!!
This romantic suspense book sounds intriguing!! — The hero is a tattooed NYPD cop by day and a singer in a rock band by night… The heroine has changed her name and is no longer the daughter of a serial killer. No longer the girl who was bullied and abused through high school. A fresh name and a fresh start means she can leave all that behind. There’s only one thing marring her clean slate. A boy with a past of his own.
Thicker Than Blood by Madeleine Sheehan & Claire Riley
This standalone sounds different. — A true friendship never dies. Leisel and Evelyn lost everything. Husbands. Families. Friends. Lives that made sense. All they had left was each other, and a friendship that could withstand anything… Even an apocalypse. Traveling across a broken and infection-ridden country; the road-weary group are pitted against endless violence, improbable circumstances, and the ultimate loss… But in such a savage world, is there room for love?
Razorblade Kisses by RL Griffin — New Release!!
This story sounds quite intriguing!!
It’s a standalone with really high ratings.
“She doesn’t know who she is, she tried to run, to hide and make a life for herself… When her house of cards comes tumbling down she runs again, until the one person who can change her mind finds her… Take a breath before you start this one. It’s gritty and not pretty. Nothing is pretty here.”
The complete Corps Security Series by Harper Sloan — New Release!!
Right now, you can get all 6 books in this awesome badass Alpha male romance series bundled together for $9.99!!! This is a complete series and I’ve read the first 3 and loved them!!

But when the glamour wears off, they’re on the edge of a chance to turn a weekend fling into something lasting. Will they take the jump?
Raveling You by Jessica Sorensen — New Release!!
This is the sequel to Unraveling You. — This series is a story about Ella and Micha’s daughter and Lila and Ethan’s son from The Secret Series but the blurb is very clear that it can be read on it’s own! If you’re like to read The Secret Series first though, just click here for the first book (I loved it).
“Mysterious, sweet, and sad, he’s the exact opposite of her and exactly what she needs…”
Til Death 2 by Bella Jewel — New Release!!
This is the second & final book in this series. The first one is on sale for $0.99 and this is now a complete series!!
“How can I still care for a monster? …
Our story is the most complicated of them all, it’s far from beautiful, it’s far from perfect, it’s just a twisted mess of emotion that neither of us knows how to fix. But we will fix it. You’ll see.”

Promise To Marry by Jessica Wood — New Release!!
This is the first in a series (the next 2 will be out in Feb and March)
“We were best friends since as early as I could remember. We grew up together. We shared each other’s deepest secrets.

But we were no longer best friends, and a part of me knew that he hated me.”
The Wild Rush Trilogy Set by J. Evans — Sale bundle!!
Ooooh, this series sounds SO good!! Not a new release, but it is a new find! All 3 books are about the same couple. — The heroine is in over her head…. “I’m the only person who cared enough to stick around and raise my little brothers and niece, the only one fighting to keep the state from taking them from me. Never in my wildest dreams did I think my saving grace would come in the form of a guy with more money than God and a Robin Hood complex.”

Absolution by Amanda Dick (Read my Review)
This was really beautiful love story — a second chance romance standalone with a heart-wrenching back story. — After a car accident shatters his girlfriend’s spine, Jack McKenna disappeared. Desperate to escape the guilt, he spent four years hiding in the shadows, punishing himself for not having the courage to go back to her. Then, out of the blue, a phone call forces him to face up to everything and everyone he left behind… especially her.
Never Never by Colleen Hoover & Tarryn Fisher (Read My Review)
This was fast-paced, thrilling, mysterious, exciting, romantic, and kept me guessing the whole way though. I literally could not put it down!!
Best friends since they could walk. In love since they were fourteen.
Complete strangers since this morning.
He’ll do anything to remember.
She’ll do anything to forget.
The Pact by Karina Halle (Read my Review)
If you’re looking for a standalone to fall in love with, this friend-to-lovers romance was fun, hot, a little angsty, and kept me glued to the page!!
The hero is a ruggedly handsome helicopter pilot. The heroine is an ambitious businesswoman. They’ve been best friends forever. Back in their 20’s, they made a pact to marry each other if neither one of them are in a serious relationship by the time they hit thirty… And as they get closer, their pact is put to the test!!
Bad Romeo by Leisa Rayven (Read my Review)
SQUEE!! I absolutely LOOOOVED this book!!! It’s a second chance romance with a moody, brooding, tortured bad boy hero and this INTENSE “hate-to-love-each-other”, dysfunctional-but-can’t-stay-away, love-you-forever-no-matter-how-painful type of love story. It just had this SPARK that made my heart RACE!! 5 STARS!!
“If you want me to apologize, I’ll do it until I lose my fucking voice. I just want things to be right between us. Talk to me. Help me fix this.”
Clipped Wings by Helena Hunting
I recently finished this and loved it! It’s a contemporary romance (not paranormal) about two broken people falling in love. The hero is tall, dark, mysterious, and tattooed. He runs a tattoo parlor and is intrigued when the girl from across the street comes in and shows him the hauntingly beautiful, intricate tattoo she wants him to ink onto her. It’s kind of funny, sweet, but also edgy and a little angsty.
Here’s (my review) and I’ll start the sequel, Inked Armor, soon!
