NEW RELEASE & REVIEW: Fall Love by L.B. Dunbar

Title: Fall Love
Series: Lovewell Landing 1
Author: L.B Dunbar

Blurb:

Neve Snowe doesn't need to settle down. She is already settled in her small harbor town, with a cozy beach cottage and part ownership in the family-run auto repair shop. She doesn't want a man, but she likes them. And she has one golden rule: only sleep with flatlanders. You know, the guys who never intend to stay in Lovewell Landing, only use the coastal area for a brief holiday.

And the last thing she desired was the unexpected . . . to be expecting.

Tate Love spent his summers in Lovewell Landing as a teenager, but somehow he'd missed the beautiful girl who turned into a spunky woman, daring him to jump into the icy ocean one New Year's Eve, then slept with him near the town's sacred well, holding spell-binding waters.

He never thought he'd see her again, until nine months later, a business prospect brings him back to the area.

Now, the man who longs to be tied down finds that one night planted the seed to everything he ever wanted, while he holds the pen that could sign away all she's ever loved.

Welcome to Lovewell Landing, where autumn is in the air, pumpkins decorate every doorstep, and a little fiasco might cause opposites to fall in love.

Fall Love is a steamy, romantic comedy companion novel to The Holiday Post and continues the romances of the Snowe sisters in the beautiful and quirky small town of Lovewell Landing.

Caroline's Review

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This was a wonderful read.

"Tate being Tate, consistent, steady, uncomplicated, is planting thoughts in my head and my heart. Thoughts I don't think I can ignore for much longer."

Neve Snowe was a tough nut and avoided relationships like the plague, preferring one night stands. However, her life changes after an unforgettable night. When Tate Love comes back into her life, it's not under the best of circumstances, and he has his job cut out for him winning her over, whilst keeping a secret that would likely devastate her.

"It's not versions of you, Neve...It's all of you. That's what I want."

I fell in love with Tate Love! He was just so sweet, sexy and committed. He was completely adorable and excited about Little Wrench. Neve never had a chance against him! She was stubborn and independent but I loved how she gradually let Tate in. There was so much feel-good in this story, with plenty of spice, and touch of angst. Fabulous read!

REVIEW: Chased by You by Kate Sweden

 

There were two problems with auditing True North Access.

First, the company belonged to Grayson Ambrose. Second, I used to belong to him.

As COO of Wilder Horizons, Summer Wilder manages luxury travel disasters, impossible clients, vendor crises, and five sisters with more opinions than boundaries. She is efficient, composed, and very good at keeping the past exactly where it belongs.

Locked down.

But when Wilder Horizons needs a seasonal audit in coastal Alaska, Summer has no choice but to face the one man she walked away from six years ago.

Grayson “Gray” Ambrose was supposed to be her future. The ring. The plan. The life in Juneau they never got to build. Now he owns True North Access, the elite expedition logistics company Wilder Horizons needs, and he is older, steadier, infuriatingly capable, and inconveniently impossible to ignore.

He also has a little boy, a complicated life, and no interest in pretending Summer’s return is just business.

What starts as a professional audit becomes a second chance neither of them knows how to survive. The Alaska season is ending. The weather is closing in. The old chemistry is very much alive. And every icy mile between them makes one thing harder to

Some people do not stay in the past.

They wait.

Chased by You is a sexy, emotionally charged second-chance romantic comedy featuring a controlled COO heroine, a rugged Alaska logistics owner, forced proximity, old engagement wounds, luxury expedition travel, sharp banter, single-dad heart-melting, unresolved tension, coastal Alaska atmosphere, and serious heat at the edge of the season. Perfect for readers who love competent heroines, protective heroes, wilderness romance, luxury travel escapism, and characters who know the most dangerous place to get lost is with the person who once felt like home.

💋 Adult language, adult situations, and adults doing very adult things. Repeatedly.

forced proximity, coastal Alaska, second-chance longing, one very inconvenient ex-fiancé, luxury travel audits, weather delays, sister interference, a dangerously competent single dad, and a man who should not look that good knowing exactly what he’s doing. Recommended 18+.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Thoroughly enjoyed this book!

This author writes with feeling and sophistication. I enjoy the snappy dialogue that the characters have, as well as the heartfelt ones. I must admit that with each book of this series that I've read, there were times when I felt a bit lost with the jargon, but I just love all the characters so much, and there is often a lot of humour, especially amongst the six sisters. Each story was also set in a different country and, as a travel enthusiast, I loved reading about each locality.

"They knew your name because every future I talked about had you in it."

Summer and Gray were tense and stilted, but there was so much emotion between them. They learnt from their past mistakes; they learnt to let go of responsibilities to make time for each other; they learnt to trust each other again. I loved little Henry and the way he took to Summer. Life wasn't easy for either Summer or Gray but I was happy with how they made things work eventually.

REVIEW: Saved by You by Kate Sweden

There were two problems with falling for Nick Mercer. First—he was trained to notice every weakness. Second—he was starting to notice mine. Now I’m stranded on a South African reserve with a broody ex-military ranger, a security threat closing in, and a heart that apparently has no respect for jurisdiction.

Juliette Wilder does not unravel.

As CEO of Wilder Horizons, she handles impossible clients, luxury travel disasters, and high-stakes situations with lethal calm. But when a corporate retreat on a private South African wildlife reserve turns dangerous, Juliette finds herself grounded, exposed, and inconveniently dependent on the one man who refuses to be charmed, intimidated, or managed.

Nick Mercer is ex-military, controlled, and built like every bad decision Juliette has ever been smart enough not to make. As head of security for the reserve, he lives by rules, distance, and worst-case scenarios.

She challenges all three before breakfast.

What starts as a battle of wills turns into something far more dangerous than attraction. The threat against the reserve escalates. The nights get hotter. And the line between protecting Juliette and needing her disappears completely.

Saved by You is a sexy, emotionally charged romantic suspense comedy featuring a powerful CEO heroine, a broody ex-military ranger, forced proximity, sharp banter, high-stakes danger, safari lodge romance, slow-burn tension, and serious heat in the South African bush. Perfect for readers who love protective heroes, competent heroines, luxury travel romance, romantic suspense, alpha hero energy, and characters who know falling in love might be the most dangerous risk of all.

💋 Contains: Adult language, adult situations, and adults doing very adult things. Repeatedly.

Also: forced proximity, security briefings, dangerous wildlife, surgical banter, one very inconvenient lodge delay, and a man who should not look that good issuing commands. Recommended 18+.

 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Fantastic read! Intense, sharp, humorous and steamy! Loved it!

"She'd looked at me like she was cataloguing risk. Most guests treated me like a prop. 

She looked at me like I might be a problem."

Juliette Wilder is in South Africa on a forced CEO retreat by her sisters. Nick Mercer is the head ranger at the park she's staying. Their mutual interest is piqued but they are poles apart. Juliette is all about control, order and cool assessment. Nick is commanding, domineering and incredibly observant. In all honesty, they are actually quite similar and both challenge each other's view of their own life. I enjoyed how they built a rapport out of respect for each other's abilities and intelligence, as well as the tense chemistry between them.

"She wasn't fragile. She was the most dangerous thing I'd ever had. 

And I had no intention of letting go."

I absolutely loved their sharp and snappy exchanges - not just with each other, but with everyone else around them. This story was humorous, sexy, and suspenseful. I loved the dynamic between the sisters - how much they loved each other, as well as goaded one another.

Really looking forward to reading the final book about Summer Wilder.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Dear Grumpy Boss by Sonia Saint

Title: Dear Grumpy Boss

An Age Gap Instalove Office Romance

Series: Bossily Ever After #1

Author: Sonia Saint

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Boss/Assistant, Office Romance, Age Gap

Forced Proximity, Breeding Kink, Grumpy Billionaire

Release Date: March 4, 2025

BLURB

I’ve been in love with my boss for five years.

And he’s never once looked at me.

Zayn Grayson is brilliant, powerful, and way out of my league—not to mention my brother’s best friend. But after half a decade of being invisible to the man I crave, I quit. Except the second I hand in my notice, Zayn finally sees me.

He demands to know why I’m leaving. Won’t let it go until I tell him the truth. So I do. I ask him for a goodbye kiss.

I don’t expect him to actually say yes. I definitely don’t expect a storm to trap us in a hotel suite. But Zayn doesn’t see a blackout. He sees an opportunity.

One night to make my fantasies come true.

When morning comes, I have a choice to make—walk away like I planned… or let my grumpy, possessive boss convince me to stay forever.

Dear Grumpy Boss is a steamy, instalove, age-gap, office romance featuring a curvy heroine, a forced proximity blackout, and a billionaire who refuses to let her go.

Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟

Fabulous little debut. This is a sweet and hot quick read. Sometimes you just need a story like this in between the more angsty ones!

"So how does a plain, curvy, shy bookworm fall out of love with her six-foot-three-inch boss who's been described as a modern god, in looks and wealth by the media?"

In a bid to get over Zayn Grayson once and for all, Sasha Shetty hands her notice in. Having known Zayn since she was young, her older brother's best friend is completely unattainable and would never look twice at her. Therefore, she's taken aback when it seems that he's going to fight for her to stay....and he seems to be looking at her somewhat differently, too!

"She isn't just beautiful. She's...more. She's everything. And she's mine."

This was a such an addictive story! I just loved the whole thing - it was fun, exciting and sexy! I loved how Zayn looked past Sasha's 'Ugly Betty' aura and saw her for the beautiful woman she truly was - inside and out. The fierce sexual attraction and desire he felt for her was absolutely thrilling! I'm really looking forward to this author's next book!

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Copper Cliffs by Annie Dyer

 

COPPER CLIFFS

Annie Dyer

Release Date: October 18

 

I was hoping for two things from my new job as the head teacher of Puffin Bay’s primary school: zero relationship complications and a quiet life where I could focus on my career.

Meeting Romy McAllister, widow of the town’s maritime hero, was unavoidable given that she had a daughter at my school.  She was fierce and beautiful; becoming friends with her was going to make my life complicated, but I did it anyway.  She’d said she had a crush on me - I pretended I didn’t feel the same.

Life could’ve been simple if Romy hadn’t delved too deep into
what was going on in the private life of one of her friends. 
Nowhere does secrets like a small town, and when those secrets started to threaten Romy and her daughter, I chose to throw my chances of a quiet life away.

Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This was such a fab, gorgeous read!

"If I said I didn't have a crush on Cas, I'd be lying."

I mean, ditto!! Cassian Caddick is 100% total book boyfriend! He made Romy feel so beautiful and desired, and he was such a good sport with the kids and the locals. Nothing was too much and, after his initial wobble, he was all in and wasn't particularly bothered by any gossip about them.

"I suppose that's the risk we take though, when we fall in love with someone. We choose to be vulnerable."

Romy was an immensely strong female character - I loved her grit, her big heart, and her pragmatic attitude. She and Cas were a beautiful couple - giving, loving and so sexy together! I had major heart eyes for them individually, as well as a family unit. Such an awesome read.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: My Favorite Boss by Melanie Moreland

 

My Favorite Boss by Melanie Moreland is now live!

Get ready to laugh out loud in the office from New York Times bestselling author Melanie Moreland
My new boss--Alexander Bane
Aptly named since he's the bane of my existence.
Please isn't in his vocabulary.
He grunts, growls, and demands.
If only he didn't look so sexy when doing so.
If only his mouth weren't so addictive when kissing mine.
He's quickly becoming my favorite boss.
Which is wrong.

My new assistant is an unwelcomed distraction.
Snarky, witty, always smiling.
Constantly putting me in my place.
Making me second-guess my decisions.
I dislike it. Intensely.
Unless I'm kissing her.
Then Magnolia Myers becomes my favorite person.
Which I hate.

Two people working together, disliking each other.
Until they don't.
Then the fun begins.

HR has never been so entertained.

Author's note: For those on the lookout for a hero who's so charming when he's bossy that it makes you want to follow his orders just to keep him talking.

Caroline's Review

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Hilarious, adorable and deliciously spicy! Loved this book hard!

"I had never felt so alive. She was the woman I thought of constantly. I was becoming obsessed with her. I couldn't deny it. I wanted her."

Magnolia Myers was a positive ray of sunshine in Alexander Bane's barren life. From the moment they meet, she makes an impression on him. She's absolutely adorable and sassy. I loved their exchanges - they really cracked me up! Bane fought hard to keep his grumpiness and professionalism around her, and I loved the fact that she absolutely tickled him. Whatever he threw at her, she picked up and ran with it. She was indomitable! Once she started to really matter to him, I was thrilled at the way he looked out for her, protected her, and desired her. These two were fire!! She taught him how to laugh, how to live, and how to love. This was such a fabulous, addictive, funny read. Absolutely loved it!
