THE BLOCKS WE MAKE

Brooke O’Brien

Release Date: April 3

 

Blurb:

I wasn’t supposed to notice her.

The girl behind the bar with a guarded smile has something in her eyes that pulls me in. The one who insists she doesn’t need protecting—even after I watch them threaten her right in front of me.

Brinley isn’t just a risk. She’s a secret that certain people don’t want getting out.

I knew she was my head coach’s daughter. What I didn’t understand was why no one else did.

I’ve spent my whole life building a name on the ice. Now I’m being warned to stay away from her or risk losing everything I’ve worked for.

And the pressure doesn’t just come from the bench. The threats aren’t subtle anymore—stopping at nothing until she leaves town. They expect me to fall in line, focus on blocking shots, keep my mouth shut, and choose my career over her.

But they’re wrong.

Because this time, I’m not just protecting the net.

I’m protecting her. And the truth they’ll do anything to keep silent.

Meet Brooke O’Brien:

Brooke O'Brien grew up with a creative mind and a wild imagination, writing poetry and short stories when she was younger. This passion ignited when she began reading angst and hate-fueled stories about vampires and werewolves before she branched into contemporary and new adult romances. 

When Brooke isn't writing or falling in love with a new book boyfriend, you can find her scrolling TikTok, watching ASMR, or devouring her latest binge-worthy TV show. 

She loves rockin' a good hoodie with leggings, is addicted to chocolate, and believes the best days include a good nap.

 IF YOU KEEP ME

Toronto Terror #6

Helena Hunting

Release Date: March 5 

Blurb:

Things I should never, under any circumstances ever do: ask my secret crush, aka. the most notorious (reformed) playboy in pro hockey, to take my virginity. 

Too bad, I did. 

After a string of terrible dates, I did the unthinkable. I propositioned Flip Madden.

Of course, he said no.
It isn’t that he’s almost a decade older than me and I’m still in university. 

But because I’m his coach’s oldest daughter.

Not to mention my dad would bludgeon him with his hockey stick if he found out.

Which he won’t because it will never happen. 

And now things are awkward because there’s no going back.

Except Flip is more protective than ever before and his eyes follow me in every room we’re in together. He brings flowers to my recitals and reads all the books I recommend. 

Things I should never, under any circumstances ever do: hope Flip Madden might actually want me too.

🌾𝐂𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑 & 𝐁𝐋𝐔𝐑𝐁 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐀𝐋 🌾

BLURB:

He didn’t know what he had… until she walked away. 

She was the one who never left. 

Maisie Dawson has never strayed from Granite Falls, Texas. The Yellow Rose Diner is her second home, and loving Beckett Cooper has always felt just as permanent. 

She’s the girl who stayed.
The one who answered every late-night knock.
The one who gave him everything. 

Her body.
Almost her heart, too. 

But Maisie is done being convenient. 

Beckett Cooper is ranching royalty. Cattle run in his blood, and so does freedom. He works hard, plays harder, and never makes promises he can’t keep. The women in his bed know the rules.  

Cattle. Whiskey. Women
Love? Not a chance. 

He never meant to hurt her… but he sure as hell doesn’t plan on losing her. 

Now the cowboy who swore he’ll never settle down is about to learn that the only thing hotter than a Texas summer night is the woman walking away from him. 

And this time, if Maisie leaves, she won’t be coming back. 

Welcome to Granite Falls, Texas–where the cowboys are alpha, the family legacies run deep, and love burns hotter than any bonfire in Hill Country.

Ahhhh these Rampage men are all so damn awesome. And it’s weird because it feels like this should be the end of the series with all our original men all wifed up. But a) I am not ready for it to end and b) there’s still one of the ladies that is in dire need of her own swoony match. 

Foster, Foster, Foster. He was such his own island while still being part of the group and learning why made me love him so much. Because despite his own reservations he didn't stand in the way of his own happiness. Which I honestly could have understood him doing. Instead, he embraced his future and even went so far as to revisit his history.

Eden was the perfect complement for Foster. I loved seeing her folded into the Rampage family like she’s always been there. I was expecting some relationship angst towards the end of the book, but she reacted so maturely and communicated, and I loved her even more.

This series is such an easy read with all the warm fuzzies and maybe a quiet tear or two depending on my reading mood. I am dreading the end of it almost as much as I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next from the author.

💗 Sweet Oblivion Cover Reveal 💗

Sweet Oblivion 

Love & Legacy #3

 Bella Matthews

Releasing April 1st

Bella Matthews has revealed the gorgeous covers for Sweet Oblivion and I cannot wait for this book!

 

💗 Blurb 💗

I never wanted to get married.

Until the night my life went up in flames, and Ryker Beneventi walked into the fire to save me.

The Philadelphia Kings’ scorching hot defensive end has a tendency of doing that . . .

Protecting me is instinct.

Marrying me is strategy.

Calling me “his wife” . . . That’s for fun.

One carefully crafted press release later, and I’m standing beside the most photographed man in football, wearing a diamond I didn’t choose, and bearing a last name revered in this town.

It’s supposed to be temporary.

A clean solution to a messy problem.

But nothing about our marriage is as it seems.

Because somewhere between the locked doors and late nights, the lines between love and legacy blur. Until the only thing left more terrifying than the night that forced us together . . .

Is how scared I am to walk away.

TEST OF TIME

Harlow James

Blossom Peak #3

Release Date: April 10 

 

Blurb:

Falling for the single dad next door wasn’t part of my plan when I moved to Blossom Peak.

I accepted the teaching job for a fresh start, far away from the controlling ex I left behind.

But Rhonan Hart is everything you could ask for in a man. Strong, dependable, helpful, an amazing father to his daughter, Ellis… and looks beyond sinful in his sheriff’s uniform.

Except his daughter is my student, and he’s determined to pretend like our connection doesn’t exist.

(I’m determined to pretend he didn’t see me naked when my shower blew up, and he tried to save me.)

But soon, he’s sneaking over to my house at night—warming my bed, tearing down his walls, and making me want something I knew I couldn’t have.

My life is a mess, one I’m still trying to clean up. 

But this man and his child give me a glimpse of a future I want, no matter what the cost.

Just when I think I’m on the path to moving on, fate decides to give us the test of time.

I just hope this is a test we both survive.

Meet Harlow James:

Steamy Romance Author

Harlow James is a pen name I use to protect my identity as a high school teacher. Keeping those two roles in my life separate is necessary, but also fun! It’s like a live two lives, and anonymity gives me the opportunity to be bold and take risks in my stories.

I stumbled upon romance novels in 2018 when I picked up Driven by Kristy Bromberg, and I was obsessed. I had just lost my grandmother too, so reading offered me an escape from reality and a chance to grieve on my own terms.

About a year later, I got an idea for my own book and started writing. I researched self-publishing and jumped in with both feet. I had no idea what I was doing!

But now I’ve built a business and hobby that I LOVE! I have an outlet that’s just for me. When I write, I’m not a mom, a wife, or a teacher…I’m a woman who gets to tell stories that no one else can.

My books are the perfect blend of heartwarming moments, full-bellied laughs, and PLENTY of steam to melt your Kindles 😉 And there are always elements of me sprinkled in to every character and story that I write.

When I’m not writing you can find me reading or spending time in my kitchen. I love to cook and feed my family and friends. Otherwise, you can find me watching comedy specials with my husband, camping with our kids, or taking naps. I live for naps 😉
