Away Game (Willow Bay #1) by Harlow Layne Release Date: February 4, 2021 Photography: CJC Photography Model: Eric Guilmette About Away Game The plan was to move away and never look back.  Get away from him , out from under my father’s disapproving stare, and start a new life in Willow Bay.  It was supposed to be my fresh start, but instead my past followed me.  The one thing I desired and couldn’t have.  Weston Jackson.  I hated how he made me feel things that I couldn’t give into without turning my world upside down.

Absolution (Salvation Society) by Leaona Luxx Date Released: January 10, 2020 About Absolution Looking back over the past few months, I never imagined I’d be standing here asking for forgiveness. Wanting her was never in the plans, but when your heart knows, you find yourself needing everything that is her. I made my way back home broken and lost, refusing to connect to my old life, to who I am. Afraid of what I might find, hating myself for hiding untold truths. In her arms, I find sanctuary. Her love not only encompasses me, it drives the darkness away and serves as a beacon of hope, my salvation. When our pasts lives come to light, we’re thrust into the hell we knowingly created. Will Scarlet forgive me for the blood on my hands? Can I show her the mercy she so well deserves? Only absolution will see us through. Add Absolution on Goodreads .

Never Got Over You by S.L. Scott Release Date: January 14, 2021 About Never Got Over You The universe shifts, and our stars realign. I’d sworn off men. And then I met Nick Christiansen. Technically, I fell for him, literally , the moment I landed in his quarterback-sized arms and looked into those soulful eyes. I blame the rum. Or was it tequila?  Spoiler alert: It was those delectable dimples. Either way, Nick was stupidly handsome and ridiculously charming. He held me like he cared and listened to me like I mattered. Captivated by great conversation and rock-hard abs, Nick had me reconsidering the “No Men” promise I’d made myself.   I still regret walking away the next day. *  *  * I can’t stop thinking about the one who got away. But then I run right into Natalie St. James.  She’s still unwittingly gorgeous, if not more so, and as wildly quirky as I remember.  Sidebar: She’s on a date. What do I expect? For her to still be thinking about me?  I still re

Wanted Dead or in Love (Cortell Brothers #3) by Giulia Lagomarsino Date Released: January 11, 2021 About Wanted Dead or in Love This is book 3 in the Cortell Brothers series, and it is recommended they are read in order. Josh I was just driving down the road one day when I saw her. That was when everything went to shit. Bullets were flying, I was killing guys with a toilet lid. It was insane. And the whole time, I had a scared, timid woman as an accomplice. Or was she? She knew exactly what she was doing. She knew exactly what to say. It seemed that I was the only one left in the dark about what was really going on. And I was about to pay for it, with my life. Hannah I'd seen that look before, that watchful gaze that sent shivers down my spine. I thought he was there to kill me, but then he got wrapped up in everything with me, and then I couldn't shake him. I couldn't tell him who I was. I could never let him go back to his life. He had to run with me or his whole

Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Enticing Journey Book Promotions. I've been looking forward to reading Josh Cortell's book since he was mentioned in the series starter, and it certainly turned out to be one heck of an entertaining read. Wanted Dead or in Love is the third novel in Giulia Lagomarsino's Cortell Brothers series, and it answers the most pertinent questions that's been bugging readers (and the rest of the Cortell brothers) of the series: Where could Josh be and what could've happened to him?  For the past seven years, Josh Cortell has been missing, but his family never lost hope they would see him again. When he shows up out of the blue toting a gun, however, it seems like he's got an interesting tale to share. How does he explain that he's been on the run with a woman he met the day he disappeared? How does he put into words that all that mattered was keeping the woman he loved alive? How can he make them u

Change of Course (Change of Hearts #3) by Sierra Hill Release Date: January 13, 2021 About Change of Course From the moment the man walked into the bar, I knew he was still in the closet. But that didn’t stop us from sharing an incredible night together. Our easy, one-night hookup went from no-strings-attached to a tangled mess on the first day of the semester, when I locked eyes with the mystery man from the bar... who also happens to be my new Art History professor.  Lucas Mathiasson is everywhere I turn and the harder we try to resist, the closer we’re pulled together. Until our weekend in Vegas. Then all bets – and rules – are off.  But lessons in love can’t be taught from a syllabus. They have to be experienced.  And not all love is easy. Not all rules are meant to be broken. And not all men are created to live life in the open. Falling for my professor wasn’t part of the plan... but how do you let go of the man who taught you how to love? Add Change of Cours
