Single in Sitka (An Odds-Are-Good Standalone Romance Book 1)

*claps* I had so much fun (and feels) reading this one!! It wasn’t anything crazy or over-the-top tense or anything like that, just pure sweet (yet super-steamy!!! HOLY MOLY) contemporary romance, with just the right amount of angst to keep me concerned about how it would resolve. And a cop-romance which I’ve obviously got a thing for. YAY ME!! I one-clicked this on release day SO HARD. 😉

It hit all my romance-buttons:

A sweet and loving (and grieving) single father – check
An interesting (and very plausible) date potential? – check!
A not so pleasant (but also plausible) “meet cute” – CHECK!!

“What? What do you want?” I finally yell, stopping to face him. “Why can’t you leave me alone?” read more

Park Avenue Player

I couldn’t help myself but jump right into this one after the authors sent it my way (squirreling from my two thrillers I had started) ’cause I kept hearing about a twist many didn’t see coming, and that’s just my catnip!!!! I CANNOT RESIST A JAW-DROPPING TWIST!!! And this one had it, in spades!!! SQUEEEE!!

Susan: I just finished Park Avenue Player by Penelope Ward. It was sooo good and had a twist I didn’t see coming. Oh my heart!! Such a great book 🤗🥰 read more

Christina is helping to look for this one, and I know I haven’t read it, but it makes me wonder why she got so sick of him. Bad boy antics?

She asks:

Hi, could you post this?

It was posted in a group on facebook and I know I’ve read it but can’t remember or figure it out! Thanks!

I’m trying to remember the name of a book I read a while ago….

H is a music star (I think) has a daughter who travels with him… she’s quiet and a reader… h is his assistant (maybe) and is sick of him and quits. The daughter and h are close and stay in contact…. read more

Nicole Snow – Marriage Mistake Series Reading Order

Marital strife, arranged marriages & fake relationships are so fun. Er… IN BOOKS!! Always and only in books. 😉 I love when two strangers are forced to not only get to know each other, but attempt to get along, or when things go awry as they try to figure out the next step. Together… or apart.

And here’s a series that looks right up our angsty romance alley (and a new book just went LIVE today!!)

About book #1:

Accidentally engaged. Then he dared me to make it real.

It was one freaking kiss with a stranger.
I wasn’t looking for a hero the day Brent Eden charged into my life.
He saw a damsel in distress facing humiliation.
We played pretend. Swore I was his. Baited sweet chaos.
Blew apart everything. read more
