Fully enjoyed." -ARC Reviewer Isaiah When you’re built like a tank, it feels natural to protect the ones you love. I’ve loved Lizzie from day one. The thing is, the timing was never right for us. It still isn’t, not with the sudden success of her TV show, a major step up from starring in embarrassing commercials. Our friend group’s ...

"A short instalove read, but it packs a punch. Jackman seems grumpy, but sunshine-y Tia brings him out of his shell pretty quickly. Love the brief moments of humour, but the protectiveness… swoon! Jackman is a little OTT, a little possessive, and a whole lotta dominant mountain man. Tia didn’t stand a chance."- ARC Reviewer Jackman Tia’s mine. The very second I see her I know that I need to protect her, from the world, from the wild weather, from herself. The little spitfire sure knows how to sass with the best of them, in fact, did she just beat me at my own game? She’s braving the...

"One of the sweetest stories. This story is about what’s lost and found. And, finding out the truth about what really happened so long ago.

A movie production in Witch’s Cove, a talking bad boy raccoon, and a dead leading lady. Just your typical day in paradise. I am so excited that I am going to be in a movie! So what if it’s not much of a speaking part? Just being around celebrities will be awesome. Or at least it was until one of the leading ladies turned up dead. It’s not that my partner and fiancé in The Pink Iguana Sleuths aren’t used to dead bodies, but this case also included a raccoon, who happened to be the leading lady’s familiar. It wouldn’t be so bad if he hadn’t recruited Iggy for his nocturnal ...

An inept witch. A talking pink iguana. A town trying to solve a lawman’s murder. Hi, I’m Glinda Goodall—the Good Witch of the South—and I want to welcome you to Witch’s Cove, Florida, a delightful beach town where witches and humans reside in peace and harmony. Sounds perfect, right? Yeah, that’s what it says on the billboard, but here’s the real scoop. My aunt, who runs the Tiki Hut Grill where I work, sees ghosts—or rather sees one of them—namely her dead husband. My mom, a funeral director, is addicted to all things that have to do with The Wizard of Oz. She even has a ...

The story grabs you from the start and keeps you turning pages to see what happens next. A cheerful, satisfying read most readers will enjoy!"-Amazon Reviewer Michaela I LOVE love. Instead of Valentine’s Day reminding me that I haven’t found the great love I’ve always dreamed of, seeing it all around me, I can’t help but be optimistic. All day people have been flooding into the flower shop I manage, every last floral arrangement out the door and on their way to ...

"This had me giggling most of the way through. I love how Trenton ended up being a little golden retriever for Sloane, despite his reputation as a grump. They move fast, but they’re really cute together." -ARC Review Sloane I hate Valentine’s Day. It’s always been a horrible day, made even more horrible when a pipe bursts in my cabin, forcing me into a hotel room I can’t afford while it’s being repaired. Am I stress dreaming or is there a strange man in the bed beside me? A naked man. A very sexy naked man. Unfortunately, he has an attitude problem. Who in their right mind could ...

Instead, a bawdy octogenarian attempts to steal my perfect tree right out from under me, that is until her hot as hell grandson steps in. I wasn’t expecting that I would catch his eye. Not a man ten years younger than me ...

"If you are looking for a sweet romance, you will love to read this. The characters are likeable and believable.

Sweet story." -ARC review Welcome to Fox Valley, New Hampshire, where caustic city girls and sentimental ex-snowboarders are a match made in the mountains. Hendricks With my snowboarding career cut short, working at Fox Valley has given my peaceful life purpose. Until the sarcastic, self-centered, girl I’ve always ...

I’ve always connected more with nature, it’s why I became a vet. The last thing I expect when dropping off a miniature donkey at the farm is for the owners to have mysteriously vanished, replaced by a drop dead gorgeous woman from the city. One who knows more about ...
