LAVENDER HILL
Aurora Rose Reynolds
Release Date: October 13
Blurb:
From New York Times bestselling author Aurora Rose Reynolds comes a heartwarming small-town romance about a woman returning to the roots that shaped her—and finding a love that will heal her.
Genevieve Fenwick has her life together—until her fiancé’s betrayal tears their future apart. Now, heartbroken and unsure of what’s next, she looks for comfort where it all began: Gooseberry Ridge, the quaint and still-welcoming hometown she left behind.
Genevieve’s heartache is soon displaced by family drama, eccentric neighbors, and a loveable search and rescue dog. Not to mention scandalous thoughts about deputy sheriff Wyatt Foster. But while Wyatt is ruggedly handsome, loyal, and protective (everything her fiancé wasn’t), Genevieve’s still hurting. No amount of chemistry can change that.
And yet, as her meddling, matchmaking mother and tight-knit Montana home keep pushing her and Wyatt together, Genevieve realizes there’s more than just a spark there. The charge burns brighter with every run-in, every word, every layer exposing the softness beneath his strength.
Wyatt has something Genevieve wants. Something she needs. And though her best-laid plans lie in ruins, he might be the best shot she’s ever taken.

FALLING FOR HER
Natasha Madison
Release Date: October 13
Blurb:
A divorced detective who is all about order gets more than he bargained for when his new nanny sends his life—and his heart—spinning out of control in the latest spicy romance by USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Natasha Madison.
Finley Westbook’s life just blew up. Now, the only thing she wants is for her husband to sign their divorce papers. Just one problem: He wants half of her, and her family’s, fortune. When her best friend tells her a man in her hometown needs a short-term, live-in nanny for his eight-year-old son, it sounds like the perfect escape from the mess her life has become. Sure, Finley has never had a job, but how hard can it be to take care of an adorable kid?
Single dad and small-town detective Lincoln Burke doesn’t have time for chaos. But just as his ex-wife is about to leave for her honeymoon, a major case hits his desk. He’s desperate to find a nanny, and it seems Finley is his only option. She’s a walking disaster in his kitchen, can never follow a schedule—and is a dangerous temptation in his home.
The chemistry between them is impossible to ignore, but Lincoln won’t risk his heart again—especially not with his employee. Yet, the more Finley pushes his buttons, the harder she is to resist. When danger closes in, what started as a temporary arrangement may cost them far more than they ever expected.

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…

Damn I have no idea how I'm going to rate and review this because a small part of me still has no idea what I just read. Honestly, I don't know what I went into this expecting but it wasn't what I got. Even as I read the warnings I didn't really take it in what I was getting myself into.
As I read it I had moments where I was kind of second guessing what I was reading. I kept questioning if it was maybe paranormal adjacent and then I would read on and get another bit of information to make the pieces click into place. Now I should mention I read this on holiday with a lot of children distractions so I was probably slow on the uptake and everyone is calling me an idiot but it kind of added to it. That weird buzz in the back of my brain screaming what the fuck.
Stirling and Sienna were both awesome, disturbing characters who took me on a wild ride getting to know their stories and being inside their minds. I'm a little concerned how much I liked it, even as I cringed and winced while reading parts of it.
Jett and Ryder were amazing secondary characters and I can't wait for Ryder's book after that second epilogue. I'm also dying to see how the whole background mystery is going to play out. The whole town was bat shit crazy in the best way and I'm sure we will get plenty more of that. I really can't stand that we have to wait to get our hands on more, but maybe it's for the best.
Obviously if Aurora Rose Reynolds writes it I'm going to tell you it's amazing. 1. Because it will be. And 2. Because I may have a teeny weeny massive girl crush. Since I picked up Until November I have been obsessed with her writing. Then as I stalked followed her online I saw what a genuinely beautiful person she is and that just made loving her writing so much better. So yeah, read all her books, thank me later.
As for this book, I actually got an ALC from netgalley. Thank you very much. And got to spend 7 hours listening to some pretty great narrators, loving this story. The whole book kept me guessing. Everything I thought I knew was wrong. Every piece of drama I anticipated never happened.
There were parts of this book that I felt so emotionally, that I know a lot of people won't but Ezra and Romey felt like characters I've had placed in my home and the whole situation felt so real I actually got mad at their case worker and cried like a mother. So there's that.
Wyatt and Genevieve had such a naturally progressing relationship that it felt like I fell right along with them. Their banter was cute and I listened to most of the story with a smile on my face. I can't wait to see how this series is going to play out because the whole rock thing was cute as a button.
I can't stress enough how much I love Natasha Madison's writing. Her books are an automatic one click for me and I don't bother with the blurb. So I jumped in and to be honest I don't really remember either Finley or Lincoln from the last book. But once I started to get into it I remembered how deeply I was hit by the feels with Collins. So when the feels hit me here I would like to say I was prepared but I would be lying.
Finley was so much more than I could have predicted. I thought she would be shallow and maybe a little vapid and we would get to know her and she would grow. But I loved her from the start. She literally had everything she could ever ask for. Yet she was so prepared to step out of her comfort zone. And she was such a sweet person she was awesome to get to know better.
Lincoln was such a great dad and honestly I was expecting him to be bitter and reluctant to see Finley for who she could be. But once he decided to take a chance on her he really saw her and the lengths she went to for Asa to be happy and safe. And watching him fall and not even slightly fight it was hot.
Asa was a great addition and I loved watching him interact with Finley. There were so many different ways that this could have played out that when the drama hit I wasn't expecting it to play out like that. I would have loved to see a little more vengeance being rained down but I am a little blood thirsty. And everything was resolved beautifully. The epilogues were a perfect cherry on top.

He doesn’t do relationships. But for her, he’ll play husband.
Phoenix Stark does not do relationships. Nor does he make promises. And he definitely doesn’t believe in happily ever after. He’s a broody tattooed firefighter and a man of very few words. Except with me.
When my five-year-old nephew is unexpectedly left in my care, I'm determined to give him the stable home he deserves. But between my part-time job and his Type 1 diabetes, I need more than love to make that happen. I need health insurance, a home, and a husband.
Phoenix offers me all three. His solution? Marry him.
A fake marriage to my oldest friend should be simple, except suddenly I'm living in his house, sharing his bed, and convincing everyone around us that we're madly in love. And somewhere between raising a little boy together and pretending that this marriage is real, the lines we've spent a lifetime protecting begin to disappear.
But Phoenix doesn't believe in forever. And I refuse to risk the best friendship I've ever had for a love he may never be able to give me. The problem is, I'm starting to wonder if the man who refuses to promise me forever has been loving me all along.

No kissing. No strings. No exceptions.
That's the plan to create the family I’ve always wanted on my own terms, no husband necessary.
I never expected the donor to be Isaiah Walker — the man who broke my heart twelve years ago and has been running from that wreckage ever since.
Our arrangement is simple. We do just enough to make a baby before we go our separate ways.
But Isaiah’s done running. And the more time we spend together, the harder it is to remember why I need to keep this single dad at arm’s length.
Between a corporate land grab threatening everything I’ve built, a secret that could tear Isaiah’s family apart, and feelings I thought were buried long ago, I’m starting to worry that a baby and a broken heart aren’t the only things on the line.
Chasing Shadows is a single dad, second chance, forced proximity romance that features a daredevil cowboy and a wildlife rescuer. If you enjoy found families, adorable pets, and small-town secrets, this one is for you!

Meet Lex Martin
Lex Martin is the USA Today bestselling author of Varsity Dads, Texas Nights, and the Dearest series. She writes contemporary romance novels, the steamy kind she hopes readers love but her parents avoid.
She’s always been obsessed with writing, starting in elementary school when she would pen short stories and make her father read them. (Afterward, he’d have to take her tests, but he was a good sport and did them without complaint.) In high school, when she wasn’t playing basketball, she wrote emo poetry and worked on the school newspaper.
She later became a nationally-certified high school English teacher and freelance journalist but decided she’d rather write romance novels than tests or city hall articles.
Lex loves coffee, rom coms, pen hoarding, planners, and college football.
She married her almost college sweetheart (they met right after graduation), and she’s still obsessed with him, especially when he writes her songs.
She currently resides in her hometown of San Antonio with her husband, twin daughters, and their bunny. Drop her a line. She loves hearing from readers.
