"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...

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 ...

"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 ...

“Ridge is fantastic. Elli did it again!!! I totally love this series and the story of Arianna and Ridge is a fav.

Amazing story!!!!" -ARC review Welcome to Fox Valley, New Hampshire, where jaded nature photographers and hunky backcountry survivalists are a match made in the mountains.

Her ...

Fate steps in once again, maybe this time they’ll listen…" -ARC Reviewer Isabelle Today is the worst day of my life.

"I really want to expound on all the ways Jessup is perfect for Lilianna, but I’d be giving away far too many spoilers 😖 What is safe for me to say is how this story curled my toes, gave me warm fuzzies, and left me in a good mood." -ARC Reviewer Lilianna The holidays finally got the best of me. It’s a couple days before Christmas and I’m stranded. A snow storm slams into Anchor Hills, slick roads causing me to drive my Bronco straight into a ditch. Add to that the fever that has me running as hot and cold as my emotions and I’m in desperate need of a Christmas miracle. Like a ...

"I really love Elli Marsh books. She delivers golden retriever main male characters like nobody’s business.

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 ...

This truly talented author will have your interest from the beginning with passion filled moments, forbidden feelings and an age gap that you won't want to stop reading."-ARC Reviewer Sedona My best friend’s dad. How much of a cliche am I? But he’s gorgeous and smart, sweet and he could charm the pants off anyone. Or maybe it’s just my pants, whoops. When our pickup gets stuck in the mud and we have no cell reception, the only choice is to hole up in an abandoned hunting cabin and wait for help to arrive. A ...
