Cover Reveals Delicate Escape (Sparrow Falls #2) by Catherine Cowles

Release Date: August 22, 2024

Cover Design by Hang Le

Trust doesn’t come easily when you’ve been running for as long as I have, which is why moving in with a man I barely know is such a bad idea.

Shepard Colson is all golden-boy charm and devastating good looks. But I know what it’s like to be taken in by easy smiles and the promise of forever—I have the scars to prove it.

Only the handsome contractor won’t stop coming by the bakery and prying little truths from my lips. Those amber eyes of his seeing far too much. And when all the secrets come crashing down, he’s determined to keep me safe. Even if it means moving into my rundown cabin to do it.

Now, Shep isn’t just rebuilding the walls of my home, he’s working his way into my heart. Suddenly, he’s everywhere: shirtless in my garden or in a towel coming out of my bathroom. And my resolve is no match.

Only it’s more than his golden looks. It’s him. The way he watches for my wounds but tells me I’m stronger than anyone he’s ever known. And I can’t help but fall.

But I should’ve known better than to think I could be happy. Not when a ghost from my past still has me in his sights. And when he finds me, he’ll do anything to tear my life apart, even if it means ending it for good…

Cover Reveals Indescribable Love by Samantha Chase

Releasing: July 16, 2024

Cover Design: Kari March Designs

Photographer: Regina Wamba

A close proximity, rockstar, secret romance from NYT Bestselling author, Samantha Chase

He’s the pop superstar dubbed the friendliest celeb alive.

She’s the jaded publicist forced to represent him.

Working together should be impossible.

But the connection they find in each other is…completely indescribable.

Whenever his childhood became too much, Simon Bennett could always find comfort and escape in music. Like any kid, he’d thought about becoming a big star, but he’d never imagined the level of success he’s found. When documentary producers approach him for some behind the scenes footage for his fans, he isn’t prepared for the painful memories they unearth that he’d rather keep quiet. But when you’re known as one of the sweetest guys in the business, no one takes you seriously when you try to push back.

Juliette Bellucci has a reputation for being a strong and confident publicist. Unfortunately, when you keep working with celebrity trainwrecks who make the wrong kind of headlines, that reputation doesn’t mean a whole lot. And with her latest fiasco still in the press, she’s this close to losing her career and everything she’s worked for. Enter Simon Bennett–the quintessential good guy and her chance at redemption. After all, how can working with the nicest guy in the world go wrong?

Nothing about them makes sense, and yet the closer they become, the more they realize they belong together. Keeping their relationship a secret was supposed to keep them out of trouble, but when Simon’s past threatens to destroy his present, everyone is quick to blame Juliette and her bad track record. When the glare of the spotlight disappears, will they realize the indescribable love they share is the foundation to the future they both want?

Release Day Blitz & Review Forbidden King {Magnolia Falls #3} by Laura Pavlov

Release Date: June 6, 2024

Model Cover Design: Hang Le

Photographer: Madison Maltby

Special Edition Cover Design: Sarah Sentz, Enchanting Romance Designs

Saylor Woodson is the one girl I can’t have, and the only girl I want.

She’s my best friend’s little sister, and completely off limits.

We have a history, a connection, one that no one else knows about.

One that I’ve tried hard to forget.

I've kept my distance for years, which was easy because she’d been away at school.

But now she’s home, and she’s everywhere I turn.

And the way that I want her is unexplainable.

She’s always on my mind.

She’s sunshine on a cloudy day.

So, I do everything in my power to keep my distance, because her brother is my best friend.
My family.

But the pull is too strong.

Overpowering in every way possible.

I want to claim her and keep her and make her mine.

So, we cross that line in the sand slowly at first.

Until I’m drowning in this girl and can’t find my way up for air.

Betrayal runs deep, and guilt hangs over me like a dark cloud.

But I can’t seem to walk away, no matter how hard I try.

Because she makes me want things that I never thought possible.

And now that I’ve had a taste of forever, I’m willing to risk everything to keep it.

But can we weather the storm that’s coming for us?

Only time will tell.

Review

This is Book 3 in the Magnolia Falls series which focuses on Saylor and Kingston.

Each of these characters has not had an easy past when it comes to family. For that reason, Kingston and his best friends have a bond like no other. their motto.... ride or die.

Saylor is the sister of one of Kingston's best friend. However, they share a special connection that started when they were children. He became her safe haven in the storm and neither of them have forgotten that.

For me, this story was a good mix of the friends to lovers and best friends sister tropes. Two of my favorites. I truly enjoyed the underlying friendship between King and Saylor. Their friendship was easy. Their affection towards one another genuine. But now that they're older, the lines are blurring.

Do they take that chance and cross the line into more? Well, I was definitely routing for them to. Kingston Pierce was hot and I was here for all these two were going to experience.

I love the characters of this Magnolia Falls crew and was quite happy to catch up on the lives of Ruby & River and Romeo & Demi. While I am looking forward to Nash's story which is next I am really curious to see what Laura Pavlov has in store for Hayes.

Cover Reveals Hold Me Until Morning by A.L. Jackson

Releasing: July 1, 2024

Cover Design: Sarah Sentz

Model Cover Photographer: Wander Aguiar

I should have known I’d be playing with fire when I found the sexy as hell woman moving in next door...

It was pouring rain, so I figured the neighborly thing to do would be to lend a hand.

I nearly dropped to my knees when I realized who she was.

Hailey Wagner.

It’s been six years since I’ve seen her, and she’s always been the one person on earth who is off limits.

My past sins I’ve kept like an ugly secret made sure of that.

Too bad this single mom with the soulful eyes still makes my pulse speed the way it did back then, and I soon find our chemistry is just as strong.

When I find her ex threatening her, I insist on staying with Hailey and her little girl until I’m sure they’re safe.

I thought I could handle being under her roof. Only the tension between us strains, and with one forbidden kiss, all restraint is lost. We collide in a lightning bolt of greed, the two of us locked behind her door night after night.

Falling so hard I know there will be no coming back from it.

But being with Hailey exposes the past I’ve been trying to hide, and I’ll do anything to protect her from it. Because if I don’t? We’re both going to pay the consequences…
