Come Back for Me (Arrowood Brothers #1) by Corinne Michaels Release Date: January 7, 2020 Cover Design: Perfect Pear Creative Photography: Brian Kaminski About Come Back for Me From New York Times bestselling author Corinne Michaels comes a new emotional and riveting love story in the first standalone novel in the Arrowood Brothers series. One night, eight years ago, she gave me peace. No names. No promises. Just two broken people, desperate to quiet their pain and grief. In the morning, she was gone and had taken my solace with her. I left for the military that day, vowing never to return to Pennsylvania. When my father dies, I’m forced to go home to bury him. At least I'll finally be rid of his farm, which is grown over and tangled with memories I've fought to forget. And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen. Years have passed, but my feelings are the s...

Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author. Overnight Service is the fourth novel in Lauren Blakely's Always Satisfied series, and just like the three books before it, this newest addition has, indeed, left me rather satisfied. This is an enemies-to-lovers romance with a second-chance feel to it, and as always, Blakely's mix of heat, heart, and hahas makes for the ideal read to kick off a new week. This can be a read as a standalone, but there are a number of recurring characters, and not just from the earlier books in this series. You don't necessarily need to read those previous books, but if you happen to be a fan of Blakely's and are familiar with her other romantic comedies--like me!--then you'll be tickled to reconnect with these recognizable names and personalities. So again, you don't have to read any other book to fully enjoy the story that's in Overnight Service ...BUT I have no qualms being a book pimp and pushing you t...

The Bad Reputation Duet Whatever It Takes (book one) Release Date: January 21, 2020 Wherever You Are (book two) Release Date: January 28, 2020 by Krista & Becca Ritchie About the Bad Reputation duet Whatever It Takes (book one) - Release Date: January 21, 2020 I HAVE A BAD REPUTATION. Call me what you want: Bad Boy Next Door. Trouble. That Kid Who Can’t Do Anything Right. When Willow moves into my neighborhood, nothing should have happened. She’s geeky. Shy. A true wallflower. Willow is a good girl. Too good for me. And how the hell was I supposed to know that she’s related to Loren Hale—yeah, that douchebag celebrity that lives on my street. The same guy I've been pranking by spray painting vulgar words on his mailbox and worse. Much worse. Don't ask me why I do the things I do. Don't ask me why it had to be her. I'm cursed. Simple as that. But here's the thing about people who are cursed—they break eve...

Breaker by Harloe Rae Date Released: October 24, 2019 About Breaker “Tell me a happy something, Sutton.” I was only seven the first time Grady Bowen whispered those words to me. Cloaked by the black sky under a blanket of stars, it was easy to get lost. He didn’t have any good memories of his own, and needed to borrow mine. I’d willingly give him anything.  Being infatuated with that boy was a beautiful curse. What could have been special didn’t get the chance to bloom. He’d never see me as more than his best friend’s kid sister. That was a hard lesson to learn, but not the most difficult.  Grady had always been struggling against the odds. Eventually he quit fighting and let his family’s reputation own him. Try as I might, those influences were beyond my reach.  He didn’t mean to break my heart. Or maybe he did. I shouldn’t have made it so easy for him. Either way, our wrongs against each other carved new lines between us.  I went fo...

Defy Fate (Fated #1) by Abigail Davies Date Released: October 23, 2019 About Defy Fate Peace and Pain. Solace and suffering. Opposites attract like magnets. They went hand in hand; just like we did. The pain of the past encompassed my soul. It was on a path to destroy me—that was if I didn’t do it myself first. I was drowning in the depths of my sorrow, trying to push through each day to get to the next. And then he turned up. There was a time when he was the only beam of light within the darkness.  But he snatched that away when he left and forgot all about me. Only now he was back, and standing at the front of my World History class.  Cade Easton was no longer the charming sixteen-year-old who never failed to put a smile on my face. Instead, he was my new teacher. They said there was nothing quite like your first love. That all-consuming feeling—the infatuation. It should have mattered that I was his student, but it didn...

Calico Descending by Keri Lake Release Date: October 29, 2019 About Calico Descending I was fourteen when I was sold to the men in black uniforms. Too young to understand I served a purpose beyond that of the other girls they’d taken. For the greater good. Now, after four years in Calico, I’ve seen more death and suffering than during my days of surviving out in the Deadlands against the threat of Ragers and famine. I didn’t think this world could get any bleaker. Didn’t think it could take any more from me than it already had. Not until I finally learned my purpose. That same day, I walked the dark halls in the bowels of this hell, where the suffering is in silence, and ghosts of the dead whisper through the walls. A place where nightmares are real. A place where I met my Champion—the most revered Alpha in S-Block—locked away in his dark cell. For the greater good. He’s their weapon, their only line of defense against the mistakes of the past: th...
