Dog-Eared Daydreams

Hold the Line (The Kelly Ranch #2) by Julia Wolf Release Date: May 15, 2025 About Hold the Line Deacon Slater was my high school crush—the bad boy with haunted eyes that made my heart skip a beat. But in our small town, the Slater name is synonymous with trouble, and Deke lived up to it when he landed in prison a few years after graduation. He served his time and now he’s back, living in the apartment above mine, covered in ink and even more intriguing than before. As the owner of Sugar Rush bakery, I’m used to building bridges with my muffins and cookies. I’ve seen cowboys nearly come to blows over the last lemon bar. But Deke wants nothing to do with my treats…or me. He keeps his distance, barely speaking when I knock on his door. Until the day he doesn’t have a choice. He’s there when I need him, stepping in to protect me, showing me the caring man beneath his rough edges. We couldn’t be more different. I’m a curvy ray of sunshine in a pink apron and he’s a stoic, ...

Spotlight (The Holland Brothers #4) by Rebecca Jenshak Release Date: May 15, 2025 About Spotlight One night —that’s all it was supposed to be. No names. No complications. And now? He’s everywhere. In all the news headlines. On every freaking billboard. Turns out, he’s not just some guy. He’s Flynn Holland, Lake City’s new hotshot pitcher . The one that’s supposed to end our team’s fifty-year championship drought. (The same way I’ve fantasized about him ending mine.) As if that weren’t bad enough, my daughter loves him and he’s the poster boy for my rival bookstore. Flynn’s perfect smile is plastered all over town, selling their books, like some kind of traitorous golden boy—while he’s over here giving me his best game. Pass. I’ve had enough heartbreak for two lifetimes. But then he looks at me, and I forget how to breathe. Not to mention, he’s so good with my little girl, it’s downright unfair. He’s maddeningly gorgeous, ridiculously persistent, a...

My Favorite Bad Decision (The Favorites #1) by Elizabeth O'Roark Release Date: May 15, 2025 About My Favorite Bad Decision Climbing Kilimanjaro? No thank you. Climbing it with Miller West? Absolutely f***ing not. A full week without showers, a real bed or Internet was bad enough. Spending it with my family’s sworn enemy—the unbearably smug, indecently handsome Miller West—is a bridge too far. I’m determined to remain enemies, even if sparring with him is my favorite thing in the world. Even if he’s hell-bent on protecting me, whether I need it or not, and surprisingly kind, no matter how awful I am to him. But eight days is a long time to hate someone you’re sleeping next to. Especially when you suspect you never hated him at all. And what happens on Kilimanjaro stays on Kilimanjaro...right? Add My Favorite Bad Decision on BookBub |  Goodreads  | StoryGraph .

Note: An advance reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via The Author Agency. Just One More Affair  is the fifth book in the Sterling Family  series from Carly Phillips, and it's one that I've been looking forward to reading ever since I found out who it was going to be about. It's often been said that lightning rarely strikes twice, but don't tell Charlotte Kendall that. Her ten-year-old twin daughters, Dylan and Dakota, were the result of a one-time thing with their father, and while she has a great co-parenting setup with Noah Powers and his new wife, Fallon Sterling, she certainly wasn't expecting for her to get pregnant after a hot hook-up with Fallon's oldest brother!
