Heartland (True North #7) by Sarina Bowen

An emotional friends to lovers romance full of risky secrets and late-night lessons in seduction.

Dylan is my best friend, and the only person in my life who understands me. He doesn’t mind my social awkwardness or my weird history. The only glitch? He doesn’t know that I’ve been hopelessly, desperately in love with him since the first day we picked apples together in his family’s orchard.
But I know better than to confess.


Now that we’re both in college together, I’m seeing a new side of him. College Dylan drinks and has a lot of sex. None of it with me.


Until the night I foolishly ask him to tutor me in more than algebra…and he actually says yes.
But the cool morning light shows me how badly I’ve endangered our friendship. And I don’t know if anything will be the same again.








4 Stars

There's nothing more exciting than getting more books about the Shipley family! And Dylan Shipley is everything! Dylan and Chasity were the perfect example of best friends falling for each other, but not without any regrets and uncertainty.  

Chasity had a unique life growing up in a cult, she endured abuse, but was able to escape to Vermont where Leah and Isaac escaped from years before. She started over in a new life, living next to the Shipley's and become best friends with Dylan. 

Dylan had only seen Chasity as his innocent best friend, but he's never failed to notice how beautiful she is. He's very protective of her, but when it comes to anything more - he avoids it and doesn't want to go there with her, until one day...

Heartland is a fast read that will have you reading nonstop.

Riven Knight (Tin Gypsy #2) by Devney Perry

Genevieve Daylee didn’t expect to be standing in front of a judge on her twenty-seventh birthday. But ever since her life became entangled with a former motorcycle gang, she’s learned not to expect anything but trouble.

Her mother, a woman she once admired and adored, is gone, leaving behind a trail of secrets and lies. She’s living in a tiny apartment above a garage owned by her brother, a man who loathes her very existence. And the father she met beside her mother’s grave is as much of a stranger as Isaiah Reynolds, the broken man with soulless eyes standing beside her in front of the judge.

Isaiah is her protector from the murderer at large in Clifton Forge. Though he’s more like a riven knight in dented armor than a prince on a white stallion. She knows next to nothing about him, other than he works as a mechanic. As of tonight, he’ll be sharing her bathroom.

And, according to the judge, Isaiah is now her husband.





4.5 Stars

Oh I loved this book. Genevieve and Isaiah are now my favorite couple in this series. Move over Dash and Bryce! The last book, Gypsy King, left me hanging and I couldn't wait for more. And Riven Knight answered all my questions, while it had me reading non-stop until the end!

Genevieve and Isaiah have a unique relationship - probably relationship is not the word to use for these two. They had a unique deal or better yet...secret.

Both of their lives changed because of the chaos of the former Tin Gypsy MC. Everything that Genevieve knew about her life all changed after her mother's murder and finding about her mother's other life in Clifton Forge, MT.  She suddenly finds herself with an instant new family - a father she never knew and brothers, who one is angry at her for no reason. 

Isaiah moved to Clifton Forge to start his life over after serving time - all he wants to do is lay low and live life.  But it all changes when he rescues Genevieve and next thing they know - they are married. Two strangers, living together as husband and wife. 

As these two learn to live and avoid each other, there is still the mystery of her mother's murder and a killer still on the loose. But as drama surrounds them, Isaiah and Genevieve find each other to be safe and comforting, but both afraid to act on it. Their relationship is  slow burn, but their chemistry is sweet and hot!

Riven Knight is full of mystery and shocking twist that I did not see coming (or want to believe). Your questions do get answered and you want nothing more than Isaiah and Genevieve to find their peace and happily ever after!

Read a sneak peek at Riven Knight.

Come Back for Me by Corinne Michaels

From New York Times Bestselling author Corinne Michaels comes a new emotional and riveting standalone love story.

One night, eight years ago, she gave me peace.
No names.
No promises.
Just two broken people, desperate to quiet their pain and grief.

In the morning, she was gone and had taken my solace with her. I left for the military that day, vowing never to return to Pennsylvania.

When my father dies, I’m forced to go home to bury him. At least I'll finally be rid of his farm, which is grown over and tangled with memories I've fought to forget.

And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen.

Years have passed, but my feelings are the same, and this time I refuse to let her go. They say you can't bury the past, and they're right. Because when long-ago secrets are exposed, rocking us both to the core, I have no choice but to watch her walk away again. . .

4 Stars

I'm a sucker for second chance romance stories and Come Back For Me is another fabulous read by Ms. Michaels. This is book is an emotional, heartbreaking and heartwarming  story. I felt for every character in this book. 

Connor and his brothers had a tough home life back on their family farm in Pennsylvania. They all vowed to get out and never return home again. But right before Connor left for the military, he had a one night stand with a mystery woman and he never once forgot about her in the years he was away. 

Ellie also has an intense life, but Hadley, her little girl, is the one thing that keeps her alive and surviving. And when Connor shows up unexpectedly in her life again - everything changes. 

Connor and Ellie had intense chemistry from day one and I absolutely adored the little girl, Hadley. Hadley and Connor also had the perfect friendship. 


 And I can't wait to get more of the Arrowood Brothers!

Gabriel's Promise (Gabriel's Inferno #4) by Sylvain Reynard 1/7/20

Author Sylvain Reynard returns with the fourth installment of the bestselling Gabriel's Inferno series.

When Gabriel and Julia Emerson first lay eyes on their newborn daughter, Clare, they realize life as they know it will never be the same. Gabriel has vowed to be a good father when he suddenly receives an invitation to give a series of lectures in Edinburgh, Scotland--an opportunity of high prestige--but that would mean leaving his wife and newborn child in Boston. Hesitant to bring it up, he keeps the opportunity from Julia as long as he can, not knowing she has a secret of her own.

When a frightening situation arises that threatens to break their new family apart, both parents must make sacrifices. With the family in danger, the looming question remains: Will Gabriel pursue his lectureship in Edinburgh, leaving Julia and Clare unprotected in Boston, or will he abandon the chance of a lifetime in order to ensure his family's safety?


Purchase on Amazon!

3 Stars

There's nothing more exciting to be brought back into the world of Dante and Beatrice - also known as Professor Emerson and his Julia. Now, they have a beautiful baby girl, Clare. And there is nothing that Gabriel will do to protect his family.

Gabriel has a career opportunity of a lifetime that comes calling, shortly after Clare is born. But with Julia putting her career on hold for motherhood, Gabriel isn't sure he wants to rock the boat in their family moving them to Scotland. Plus, there are also mysterious threats towards the Emerson family.

It's always great to get more of this couple, but the extra drama probably wasn't necessary for this fourth book. But, I  loved getting a glimpse of Gabriel as a doting father (we already know he's the perfect fictional husband!). The ending felt unfinished, unresolved with the mystery surrounding them. But overall, if are a fan of the Professor, then this read is not to be missed!

Cover Reveal: STONE PRINCESS (Tin Gypsy #3) by Devney Perry


Release Date: May 5, 2020

Cover Design: Hang Le






Presley Marks has just become a cliché: the jilted bride. Wearing a white dress, standing in front of her friends and family, she announces that her fiancé—according to his text—has forgotten about the wedding.

Humiliated and angry, she hides from the world in the mundane routine of her life. Working at the Clifton Forge Garage isn’t glamorous, but it’s safe from the spotlight.

At least it was, until Shaw Valance comes to town.

The notorious Hollywood actor is starring in a movie based on the town’s infamous murder. When he’s not on set, Shaw hovers at the garage, watching as they build his custom motorcycle and irritating her with his handsome smile. He was supposed to leave once filming wrapped and go back to his fancy life, not buy the house next door.

But Shaw might regret that purchase once Presley’s ex-fiancé returns, bringing with him a war between old rivals that could burn both their houses down.
