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 Blitz Fragile Sanctuary {Sparrow Falls #1} by Catherine Cowles

Release Date: May16, 2024

The scowl should’ve been my first clue to stay far away from Anson Hunt. The sexy smirk and the fact that he’s my brother’s best friend? Reasons two and three. Not to mention, he’s the new contractor working on my house.

He’s everything I’m not: grumpy, rude, and more than a little attached to his solitude. It doesn’t matter how many times I try to kill him with kindness; the man simply won’t crack.

Until he sees me shatter.

Because when my world comes crashing down around me, Anson is the one catching me as I fall. And as so-called accidents start plaguing every part of my life, it’s Anson who steps in to keep me safe.

As he does, I can’t help but feel a flicker of heat. And it only takes a single moment for that spark to ignite into flames, engulfing us both.

But Anson’s a man with secrets, and they have a price. When they’re revealed, neither of us will make it out unscathed…

Review

I chose to listen to this book while waiting for my signed paperback to arrive. 

Having only discovered Catherine Cowles within the latter part of 2023 I was excited to experience a series from her in real time. 

Rhodes and Anson were perfectly narrated to deliver a truly enjoyable read/listen.  Catherine's words delivered with the utmost precision to capture your attention from the start. 

Rhodes and Anson both battling their past and memories that become intertwined and pushed to the forefront.  

The underlying threat and suspense holding your attention leaving you wondering who can be trusted. 

There was always chemistry between these two although they definitely did try to surpress it at first.  Anson's need to protect coming full force where Rhodes was concerned. 

I truly enjoyed watching their story unfold and in this instance I was unable to determine who the threat was.  Looking to more in this series as all of the characters were enjoyable and worthy of getting to know.

Release Blitz & Review The One I Left Behind {Plain Daisy Ranch #1} by Piper Rayne

 

Release Date: May 14, 2024

It’s the classic story of a boy goes off into the world to fulfill his dreams and leaves the girl behind.

Not every boy returns home, and I wish Ben Noughton wouldn’t have come back to our small ranching town at all after he retired from playing professional football.

I figure it’s a quick layover for him. He always wanted out of this town and off his family’s ranch. I just have to bide my time until he turns his back on all of us again.

Then he takes on the coaching position for the high school football team and starts milling around too much, bulldozing the protective walls I’ve built around myself. But he goes too far when he takes my son under his wing to help him be the best player he can be. Leaving me to protect not only my own heart but my son’s too.

Because I promised myself a long time ago that I’d never be the girl in the rearview mirror again.

Review

I am such a "cover girl" and because of the gorgeous cover on this book I just found myself a new author to get lost in. 

I loved the flow of this book and the backstory to the characters that created the perfect second chance romance. 

Gillian at first chooses distance from Ben but having him in the same small town again tends to wear how down quickly. She decides to live in the present and enjoy what time they have together. 

If Ben had his way they would have picked up where they left off but he was respectful of her feelings and those of her son. 

I could understand Clayton's need to protect his mother and his animosity towards Ben. But there moments when Clayton lets Ben in. 

They have pursued their dreams separately and now need to see of they can build a life together. 

If you are looking for an enjoyable second chance romance with wonderful characters give this book a try. I will be looking forward to the next installment in this series.

Release Blitz & Review Meant for Her by Natasha Madison

Release Date: May 10, 2024 

Christopher

I came from the biggest hockey family in the NHL.

Records were set by my grandfather, my father, and now my brother. 

I was taught to love the game, but more than that, I learned early the men you play with are your family.

You get on the ice every night and protect them, celebrate the wins, and pick each other up when you fall. 

So when we lost Benji, I stepped in to help his wife and kids, but this pull I feel when it comes to them is something more than I can even understand. 

 

Dakota

My life was perfect, until it wasn’t.

Gone was the husband I thought I knew and in his place was a stranger.

I saw him change before my eyes. 

Then he was gone, leaving me and our girls alone. 

I wanted nothing to do with anyone or anything that took him away from me.

But no matter how many times I’ve told his best friend I don’t need help.

He’s here doing things for us, and the worst part is, I want him to.

Review

I have am a huge fan of Natasha's hockey-verse but there was just something about Christopher & Dakota's story that was a little extra.  That extra may have just made this my favorite read from her. 

This story starts off in a sad place but Dakota does her best to keep her head above water and move forward with her children all the while protecting them. 

Christopher has known Dakota and her girls for years but after their loss he tries to step up to support them. I think at first the felt obligated to look after them but it slowly turned to something more.  

They had a level of comfort that almost made it seem like they were two missing pieces to a puzzle that fit together.   I loved Christopher's relationship with the girls. You could feel the love between all of the characters. 

For me the story just flowed from one chapter to the next and I was truly engaged in their journey to their HEA. 

Of course Natasha gives us those infamous family texts and appearances from family characters that we have met and love to see in her books.

Meet Natasha Madison:

When her nose isn’t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she’s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It’s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn’t listen to her…
