Ten years ago, Jackson Hardy joined the Marines, leaving behind a woman he still dreams about. When he's called home to care for his ten-year-old nephew, no one is more shocked than he to run into Emma again. Or to still have those same feelings. But Jackson isn't looking for love, and neither is Emma, especially not with him. His precocious nephew, though, and a retriever named Bandit, are about to change that. So what if Emma Mercer is an overachiever? She has plans to get her doctorate in psychology and create a no-kill shelter for the EST dogs she trains. Which leaves absolutely no time for romance. She's fine with a furry family—dogs don't teach you to love and then rip your heart to shreds. But young Matty's situation tugs at her heartstrings and there's no way she can't help him…and Jackson. She may have hotter-than-ever chemistry with the soldier, but forgetting the past isn't easy. Get it on AMAZON Excerpt from In the Dog House by

ALL THE THINGS! This book has all the things I love. It’s a deliciously, sexy, swoony, smokin hot chemistry laden, hilariously snarky book! Woo... that's a lot of adjectives. ((smiles)) Check out the blurb for all the in-depth details, but stay here for the down and dirty. Get the book. Don’t read too many reviews, you don't want spoilers. Just know that you are in for a great ride, pun intended, with Gia and Bennett. One of the best situational romance comedies I’ve read in a while. Go. Get it. Read it. Love it. Laugh. ~Tanja Gia Gallo is officially in bridesmaid hell. Stranded in New York with her best friend's wedding dress, Gia has six days to make it to Florida in time for the ceremony. And oh-so-charming best man Bennett Buchanan has taken the last available rental car. Looks like she's in for one long road trip with the sexiest - and most irritating - Southern gentleman she's ever met... Bennett's pretty sure that if there was ever a

I am really loving this series! It has all the things needed for sweet, small-town romances. I am a fan of a small town community where the stories intertwine and connect with characters and atmosphere. Miranda is making a beautiful tapestry of people to follow and get lost with. In book two in the series, we get the treat of following Gabby and the single father Caden. It's an adult “teacher-student” troupe the will make you smile and swoon. Their back and forth is often funny and wholly engaging. Another great read from Miranda Liasson ~Tanja A heartwarming story about love, family, and taking risks that matter Gabby Langdon has always tried to make people happy. She even went to law school to please her father, and now she's a highly successful-albeit bored-attorney. But Gabby secretly dreams of being a writer, so for once she does something for herself-she signs up for a writing class taught by best-selling novelist Caden Marshall. There's only

Okay, here’s all the info on the upcoming release 😊 THE MISTER, the highly anticipated new love story from #1 New York Times bestseller @erikaljames is coming April 16th!  Pre-order your copy today: AMAZON London, 2019.  Life has been easy for Maxim Trevelyan. With his good looks, aristocratic connections, and money, he’s never had to work and he’s rarely slept alone. But all that changes when tragedy strikes and Maxim inherits his family’s noble title, wealth, and estates, and all the responsibility that entails. It’s a role he’s not prepared for and one that he struggles to face. But his biggest challenge is fighting his desire for an unexpected, enigmatic young woman who’s recently arrived in England, possessing little more than a dangerous and troublesome past.  Reticent, beautiful, and musically gifted, she’s an alluring mystery, and Maxim’s longing for her deepens into a passion that he’s never experienced and dares not name. Just who is Alessia Demachi? And

No truer words have been spoken about a book. The first line in the blurb provided says it all... “Prepare to laugh, cry, and fall in love with this enthralling new romance from J. Bengtsson!“ I went into the audible of Like the Wind not knowing the author or much else of the book. Just an eye-catching cover and a curiosity. Wow, I am I ever glad I did. From the very beginning, I was captured by the voice of Bodhi (Shane East). Side note, I love this narrator. Within the first few hours of listening I’d laughed AND cried. It was a beautiful emotional read, yet at times it was a belly laugh. The kinship and banter between Breeze and Bodhi are contagious. I was always left wanting more. Feeling an irritation when I couldn't get back to my book fast enough. The story is imaginative and the outlying side characters, canine and human, add a flavor and texture that made listening an absolute dream. As I said before, I am left wanting more. I hope this standalone is just the beginning

From the author of  Something Like Happy  comes an uplifting and emotionally compelling novel about a woman in a coma fighting for a second chance at life, love and happiness. Rosie Cooke is “in between.” In between consciousness and oblivion. Life and death. And though some say that when you’re near death your entire life flashes before your eyes, Rosie can’t remember anything at all—not even how she ended up in a coma. At least not at first. Then something strange starts to happen. Rosie finds herself revisiting scattered moments from her past: a beach vacation, a play rehearsal, the day her brother was born. But why these memories? And what do they mean? As each piece of the puzzle comes into focus, Rosie struggles to face the picture of her life that forms.
