Imagine with Me (With Me in Seattle #15) by Kristen Proby Date Released: September 29, 2020 About Imagine with Me From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes an all-new novel in her beloved With Me in Seattle series! Shawn O'Callaghan loves his job as a screenwriter almost as much as he loves his family. But this latest project could quite possibly test his patience beyond anything he's ever had to endure. Generally unflappable, the author he's thrown into the trenches with pushes every button he has. Sometimes twice. And it doesn't help that he can't stop thinking about her in ways that are anything but professional. But how can he help it? The brunette is gorgeous beyond reason—and utterly infuriating. Bestselling author Lexi Perry is finally about to leave her mark on the world; after all, seeing her dark and dangerous words brought to life is a dream come true. Until she meets the man who is supposed to make that happen. From t

Review: Imagine with Me by Kristen Proby (With Me in Seattle #15)

Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Valentine PR. Imagine with Me is the fifteenth book in the With Me in Seattle series from Kristen Proby, and it's got a bit of an enemies-to-lovers feel to it. Shawn O'Callaghan and  Lexi Perry are both writers--he works on screenplays and adaptations while she's a bestselling author. When the film rights to Le xi's book are bought, Shawn is the one tasked to adapt the novel into a screenplay. From the get-go the two of them have their creative differences, and the increasing tension makes for a less than pleasant working environment. But there's a whole 'nother kind of tension that simmering between Shawn and Le xi, and when the two of them in even closer pro ximity in Shawn's home, there's no pretending how strong the connection between them is. By the time they write "the end" on the screenplay, will it also mark their end or could it be just the beginning of their forever? M

Stones Unturned (Meade Lake #2) by Taylor Danae Colbert Date Released: September 29, 2020 About Stones Unturned "We choose family, always." As the only child of Georgia’s leading tech mogul, that motto has been our way of life for as long as I can remember. I’ve been groomed and primed to take over his role since I was fifteen. Ever the dutiful daughter, I’ve done everything to stick to the plan, even if the plan was never what I actually wanted. But people lie. Stories change. Entire family histories are rewritten. When tall, dark, and devastatingly handsome Derrick Thomas shows up with a photograph that shatters my world, I find myself following him 700 miles north to Meade Lake—the one place that might help me find answers. Drowning in lies, I cling to Derrick’s every word, desperate for the truth. And somewhere along the way, I end up clinging to him, too. Suddenly, I feel a change in the wind, a crack in all those concrete plans that were laid for me ever so c

Review: Stones Unturned by Taylor Danae Colbert (Meade Lake #2)

Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Wildfire Marketing Solutions. After the absolutely amazing beginning to the Meade Lake series, my expectations were high for the follow-up. Back to Shore was such a beautifully-penned romance, and Derrick Thomas was a highly memorable supporting character, so I was excited to see what story Taylor Danae Colbert had for him. Well, that story unfolds in Stones Unturned , the second book in the Meade Lake series. When Derrick sets off for Georgia to find Kaylee Jennings, it was a mission based on hope and luck, and he certainly had both when his path crossed with hers unexpectedly. She's shocked when he tells her that he's been searching for her on behalf of May Dean, Kaylee's maternal grandmother--a grandmother she believed had passed away years ago. Instead, it seems Gran May has been living in Maryland--Meade Lake, to be exact. Derrick invites Kaylee to go with him to Meade Lake, and when she accepts, sh

Review: Kingdom Come by Terri E. Laine

Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Wildfire Marketing Solutions. It's been a good, long while since I last read something written by Terri E. Laine, and thinking back, I can't possibly give you a good enough reason why that was so. Well, what matters now is that I'm getting all reacquainted with her writing, and it's by way of Kingdom Come , the first book in a new duet. This is supposed to be a spin-off of Laine's King Maker trilogy, but even though I've yet to read said trilogy, I was still able to enjoy this new book and not feel like I was missing anything integral to the characters or story. Elizabeth Monroe knows how it's like to be the nice girl--the one who lives in the straight and narrow and behaves appropriately. Well, she's been itching to take a trip on the naughty side, and it looks like she's found just the guy to take that trip with her. The hot guy named Striker is an irresistible combination of male m

The Love Study by Kris Ripper Date Released: September 29, 2020 Carina Adores About The Love Study What happens when the search for the perfect date goes perfectly wrong? Don’t miss this charming romantic comedy from critically acclaimed author Kris Ripper. Declan has commitment issues. He’s been an office temp for literally years now, and his friends delight in telling people that he left his last boyfriend at the altar. And that’s all true. But he’s starting to think it’s time to start working on his issues. Maybe. When Declan meets Sidney—a popular nonbinary YouTuber with an advice show—an opportunity presents itself: as part of The Love Study, Declan will go on a series of dates arranged by Sidney and report back on how the date went in the next episode. The dates are…sort of blah. It’s not Sidney’s fault; the folks participating are (mostly) great people, but there’s no chemistry there. Maybe Declan’s just broken. Or maybe the problem is that the only person he’s
