Cover Reveal Wanting You by Samantha Chase

 

Releasing: May 21, 2024
Cover Design: Kari March Designs

A Small Town, Rivals to Lovers, Workplace Romance by New York Times Bestselling Author, Samantha Chase

She's the quiet, small town girl who gets along with everyone. Except him.
He's the new guy in town who's determined to turn her world upside down.

All Chloe Donovan ever wanted was to teach kindergarten and live a simple life in Sweetbriar Ridge. Until she decides she wants more in her life.  Like maybe a good man to share her quiet life. But when she meets Tanner Westyn, Sweetbriar Ridge's biggest ego-maniac and newest kindergarten teacher, she can't help but feel unsettled with all the new changes happening around her town. Especially the unexpected feelings Tanner sparks in her.

A former champion Alpine skier, Tanner loves to compete-in all aspects of his life. But with his skiing career behind him, he's ready to tackle the next phase of his life-teaching. When he lands in Sweetbriar Ridge, a town with a brand-new ski resort, he looks forward to quiet days on the slopes. The one thing he didn't anticipate is how much his competitive nature would rub his new neighbors and colleagues-especially Chloe-the wrong way. What started as a schoolroom challenge with Chloe quickly snowballed into something else outside the school walls.

Everything about Tanner annoyed, frustrated, and intrigued Chloe. But when their heated banter evolves into looks of longing and a connection that can't be denied, she starts to question if they could even have a future together. But if Tanner doesn't want to lose Chloe, he will have to accept that coming in second place means more when the person you love takes the win.

Release Day Blitz & Review Wild River {Magnolia Falls #2} by Laura Pavlov

 Release Date: March 28, 2024

A Small Town, Enemies to Lovers, Boy Obsessed, Found Family, Standalone Romance from USA Today and Amazon Bestselling Author, Laura Pavlov. 

Ruby Rose declared me the enemy before I had a chance to defend myself.

I may be an attorney, but this girl had appointed herself judge and jury.   

And I’d never minded a good verbal sparring.

There was a comfort in going to battle against the evil queen.

Maybe it was just the recognition of one damaged soul to another.

But the more we fought—the more I craved her.

Until our arguing turned into a bit of a wager.

One I was determined to win.

One time. Sixty seconds. A secret only we would share.

I’d work my magic and she’d declare me the winner.

I’d gloat, she’d sulk—that was my plan.

She was determined to prove me wrong.

But from the minute we crossed the line, there was no turning back.

She was so far under my skin I couldn’t think straight.

Feeling things that I’d never felt before was one thing.

But knowing the clock was ticking was another.

Ruby Rose may have given me more than sixty seconds, but she wasn’t offering forever.

And now my world doesn’t work without her in it.

But how do I convince her to stay, when she already has one foot out the door?

Review

There is just something about Laura Pavlov's writing that pulls you right into the story and makes you feel like you are there. 


This is book two in the Magnolia Falls Series and I think I fell for River harder than Romeo and he was definitely swoon worthy. 


River has had a tragic and unfortunate past that leaves this sexy lawyer very guarded and resigned to being alone. 

Outside of his friend group he is not looking for a relationship. 


Ruby Rose is back in town to look after her father while also trying to determine her next course of direction.  Her family life complicated and draining. Not only on her bank account but her spirit. 


River and Ruby have chemistry and it is combustible.  I absolutely loved these two.  "No catching feelings " was easy to say and much harder to do.  Temporary seemed to be the perfect solution for them until it wasn't.  


Would Ruby crumble the walls around River's heart and show him that there is more to life than the here and now?  Could River be the King to Ruby's Queen or will insecurity keep them apart?


Grab this book! It was amazing and the supporting characters equally as enjoyable. I personally enjoy the group chats the friends share. Can't wait for more. 


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 A Small Town, Second Chance, Firefighter, standalone romance by New York Times bestselling author, Samantha Chase.


She’s being suspected of setting her workplace on fire.

He needs to prove it wasn’t her.

Now he’s on a mission to convince the one that got away that they belong together.


Ashlynn Donovan’s life just hit rock bottom. She lost her job, there are no prospects on the horizon, and she just unknowingly flashed the hot new firefighter in town. This isn’t the first time she’s embarrassed herself in front of him, but she was prepared to react the same way she did years ago – by running away. But Reid’s persistent and isn’t ready to let her get away a second time.


Reid Baylor always hoped to return to Sweetbriar Ridge—the only place he’s felt a connection to after a lifetime spent moving from place to place. When he learns of an opening in the fire department, he jumps at the chance to return to the small town he wants to call home again. And just when he thinks life can’t get any better, he runs into the one girl he’s never been able to forget. But reminding Ashlynn of their embarrassing first meeting might not have been the best move, especially when he wants to prove that he’s the man for her.


When Ashlynn is suspected of arson for the fire at her former workplace, Reid’s dream of becoming a fire inspector is on the line—and so is any chance he had with Ashlynn. Will his chance at getting both his dream job and the girl of his dreams go up in flames?

Review

Headed back to Sweetbriar Ridge to catch up with The Donovans. This book focuses on Reid and Ashlynn. 


High school drama is the driving wedge for these two.  Reid left to pursue his dream of being a firefighter but when the opportunity presents itself for him to return to Sweetbriar Ridge he jumps at it. 


Ashlynn has had some back luck. But having to face her nemesis and overcome some embarrassment to clear her name of arson may just be the breaking point. 


These two fell fast. Reid determined to not let Ashlynn get away again. Instalove is not my favorite element of a story.  These two forge a relationship amongst a lot of drama but they do have some chemistry and humor to help even it out. 


Overall this was an enjoyable quick small town read. Not my favorite in the series so far but with more to come I will wait for the next installment. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
