THIS WILD HEART

Karla Sorensen

Release Date: February 7


 

 

 

Blurb:

Who forgets marrying a football player? Me, apparently. Turns out countless shots and a bad breakup lead to questionable decision making. But waking up in Vegas with a ring on my finger beside a hot, naked man is hard to ignore. I married Parker Wilder. Thanks to our quickie nuptials, I’ll get my inheritance, and he’ll get his family and their well-intentioned meddling off his back.

 

Forgetting the wedding was the easy part. Being married to him is a whole different story. Parker is too … everything. Chiseled by the gods good-looking. A heartbreaking kind of broody. The kind of man you know will wreck you for all others. Good thing this is all pretend. And oh, how we pretend. We pretend ourselves right into me ripping the clothes off his body. 

 

It’s all fun and fake marriage until the day he gets a knock on the door with the surprise of a lifetime. Until the bomb goes off and we’re left to pick up the pieces. Until the pretending stops and we’re left with only one question: was any of it real?

Karla Sorensen is one of those authors I don't check the blurbs for. I just jump in and know I'm going to be happy. Although this series has had me crying in every book. Watching them all lose an awesome father and witnessing not just their own grief but also each of their siblings has been a journey. 

 

I went into Parker's book with the shadow of his siblings’ feelings on how he had grieved his father. And also, how he had behaved while we waited for the inevitable. But obviously that was clouded by their own grief, so getting it from Parker's point of view along with his guilt made my chest ache for him.

 

Anya was the perfect partner for him. I was so excited when I realised who she was, I loved them together. And their chemistry was so hot. They had so much to contend with but luckily Anya was very emotionally mature and gently steered Parker through everything without any judgement or pressure. 

 

I loved this story and despite the fact I cried a lot while reading this I put it down super happy. I can't wait to see what this amazing author is going to come up with next but I'll be there for it.

BURIED DREAMS

Natasha Madison

Release Date: March 14


 

 

Blurb:

Everleigh

One night changed my whole life.

After the truth about that night came out, I left, taking my broken heart with me.

I knew the past was waiting to slice me open again.

But I was left with no choice but to go back.

Feelings and old emotions are like dandelions; no matter how many times you pull them out or try to get rid of them, they refuse to go away.

And he was that for me.

My everything until he was my nothing.

 

Brock

My father taught me about honor and integrity.

And in one split second, I ruined it all.

I lost the only dream I ever had and everything I ever wanted.

But I had no choice.

I tried to move on with my life.

I put all my focus on my daughter, never expecting to see the one woman I’d loved and lost.

They say time heals old wounds.

They were wrong.

Scars left from the past are easy to reopen.

I just hope I can survive the pain all over again.

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…

Title: The Roommate Mistake
Series: Copper Valley Pounders #2
Author: Pippa Grant
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Rugby Romance/Accidental Roommates
Owner's Daughter/Pregnant FMC/Injured Hero
Release Date: February 6, 2025




BLURB

An injured rugby star, his pregnant roommate, and one rule they can’t break: Don’t date the owner’s daughter.

It was supposed to be an easy house- and dog-sitting gig while the owner was gone for a month. But when my sportsing landlord comes home unexpectedly, injured and in need of a new arrangement, we end up as accidental roommates instead.

But if Holt Webster, the tall, thick-muscled, square-jawed, broody-eyed rugby player, had told me he played for the Copper Valley Pounders, I would’ve told him that my stepdad bought the team while I was working cruise ships overseas.

And he would’ve noped out of offering me a place to stay because the only thing worse than looking like you’re flirting with the owner’s daughter is looking like you’re hooking up with the owner’s pregnant daughter.

Yes, yes, I’m that woman—the one who accidentally got knocked up, decided to keep the baby, and had to move home because pregnancy and cruise ships aren’t a good match.

And now I’m that woman who doesn’t just look like she’s hooking up with an off-limits player. I actually am hooking up with an off-limits player. But who can blame me? He’s hot. He’s kind. And he’s spending our nights sleeping with his hand on my baby bump.

Claiming us both.

But if my dad finds out, Holt’s gone. And we’ll be…rucked.

The Roommate Mistake is a heart-tugging sports romcom featuring two people in need of new best friends, a dog with an attitude, and a very…fowl…meet-cute. It stands alone and comes complete with a found family happily ever after.
Content note: This book contains a character dealing with the loss of his brother to cancer.

BLURB

Broody. Hot. Intoxicating.

Nastya Semyonov first met Haze at a bar, but for Haze Hopkins, duty calls before either can act on their desires. He’s gone without a glance back, leaving her thinking that maybe all the hot looks were only one-sided.

Fast forward to the next day, Nastya hitches a ride to her car that she left behind the night before, only to run into the same man from last night.

Neither one truly thinks before they act, and they spend a hot fifteen minutes in a fast-food restaurant bathroom before parting ways again.

It’s as she’s walking back to her car that she realizes how badly she’s screwed up.

Because her car is surrounded in police tape, and there’s one very angry man wearing a badge standing in front of it with her name on an arrest warrant for killing a man.

Mistakes were made. Repeatedly.

But Detective Haze Hopkins isn’t complaining.

He was ready to quit, anyway.

Crime pays better.

AXE BACKWARDS

Daphne Elliot

Release Date: February 3


 

Blurb:

Once in a while, after life gets you down, the universe throws you a bone. And if you’re really lucky, it comes in the form of a tattooed baby-wearing firefighter with piercing blue eyes and a heart of gold. 

When Noah Hebert swung his axe and rescued me from a coffee shop bathroom, I had only a vague sense of who the tattooed lumberjack was. Turns out he’s more than broad shoulders and a thick beard. He’s a devoted single dad and my new neighbor.

Soon after, we find ourselves falling into an easy friendship. I help him with his fussy baby, and he helps me survive my ex-husband and little sister’s wedding. Despite my vow never to risk my heart again, my defenses quickly crumble. The sight of him rocking his sweet baby in those muscular, inked arms only makes matters worse. And when he defends me to my toxic family, the sparks of attraction between us catch fire.

I moved back here with a mission. Grow the food pantry and make our little town a better place. I can’t get mixed up with the grieving single dad, even if he likes to braid my hair and slow dance in the kitchen.

He moved across the country to escape the flames of his past and protect the little girl he now calls his own. But our town is sitting on a bed of secrets ready to ignite.

And when the heat causes my world to go up in smoke, I’m not sure it’s possible to sift through the rubble and find our happily ever after.

Author’s Note: Axe Backwards is a standalone small-town romance featuring a bleeding-heart heroine, a lumberjack firefighter, and a cute baby. If you enjoy single dads, fake dating, small-town shenanigans, lumberjack competitions, and baby sign language, you will not be disappointed. Come for the wood chopping, stay for the moose!

Grumpy/Good Girl, Mistaken Identity
Release Date: February 1, 2025




BLURB

A chance meeting in a quiet corner of a bar leaves me furious, doubting my life choices. Who does he think he is anyway? Just because Cam North is a tall, smoking hot hockey god doesn't mean he can talk to me like that.

I'm done being a doormat for anyone. He was burned before? That's not my problem.

What he doesn't know is who I actually am and why I'm about to make his life a whole lot more complicated.

I have one goal—make the Lowball Bay Seadragons ice hockey team as good as I know they can be. To do that, I need to keep a safe distance between me and the players. I can't lose my perspective.

I sure as hell can't lose my heart.
