Carter Morelli survived a dark childhood and dangerous missions. But when he emergency lands a small aircraft on the ocean, he faces something worse: having someone depend on him. He has to keep innocent June Porter safe on the deserted island.

Except they aren’t alone here…

A man hides among the broad leaves. He’s almost feral.
There are secrets in his cabin. Desire, too.

Carter doesn’t want to care about beautiful June. He doesn’t want to care about the mysterious and sensual man who’s almost part of the wilderness.

Scorching chemistry draws all three of them deeper.

They already survived the plane crash, but will they survive the fall?

Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟


Gah! This story had adventure, intrigue, danger, and a veritable storm of sexual tension.

"I find it obnoxiously hot. Her bravery. Her insistence. How she's holding her chin up, even now. How she thinks we might die and she's still looking for the way to solve the problem, her limited skill set be damned."

Carter Morelli, a professor of biology as well as as pilot, has been tasked to fly photographer, June Porter, to Africa. What June doesn't know is that Carter has a mission to accomplish. However, June doesn't get to Africa nor does Carter complete his mission, as their plane malfunctions and he's forced to crash-land on a desert island. But, desert island doesn't mean it's deserted. There's someone living on the island.

"That's what this is about. My challenge to his claim on both of us. He can only tell me what to do with my hands if he has us both."

You know a book is going to be all kinds of hot when two people crash-land and all they can think about is survival and sex! I love the lush backdrop to this story, but the heat and humidity of the island is only heightened by the intense attraction between the characters. Throw in the third main character and WOWZERS!! Carter is a dark and commanding enigma, June is bright, beautiful and stoic, and Theo is innocence and heat wrapped up in raw masculinity. I loved how Carter's psychology changes in this story from being the focused man he's always been, to a man who starts to care too much. He's always been about the mission and collateral damage, but from the moment he saw June, he knew in his gut that things wouldn't ever be the same again, no matter how hard he tried to fight it. And, that cliffy! I didn't see that coming!

Publication date: October 29th 2022
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance, Suspense



Airman.

Hacker.

Mercenary.

Hacking one of the government’s top agencies was my first mistake. My second was thinking they wouldn’t find me. Nineteen hours later, five armed men kicked down my door.

They gave me a choice—prison or recruitment.

The Air Force took me in and trained me to be the best Cyberspace Operations Officer they’d ever had. Being the gatekeeper for the military’s strategic operations was an honor, but it put a target on my back. I never traveled without security—until I made my third mistake.

Twenty-two hours later, covered in blood and barely able to stand after events I wasn’t at liberty to discuss, I erased my past, changed my identity, and went off the grid. Then I joined Alpha Elite Security. I was invisible… until she saw me.

Code name: November.
Mission: Disengage.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Dr Off Limits by Louise Bay





Release Date: September 6


Dr. Off Limits? I have a fever and I think you might be the medicine I need.

I’ve sworn off men to focus on my dream job that starts on Monday. But my best friend talks me into a final night of fun—a blind date.

I only agree because the guy is going to work as a doctor in Africa.

It’s the best date of my life. Dr. Africa makes me laugh and swoon and I want to give him a thorough physical examination.
He turns into Dr. One Night Stand, and I’m not sad about it.

Monday morning, I’m enthusiastic and excited, until I bump into . . . you guessed it.

Apparently Dr. Africa got his brother to fill in on our date, and now I work at the same hospital as the guy I got naked with on Saturday.

Did I mention he’s my new boss?

I need to go right to the Emergency Room and find a cure for my crush on Dr. Off Limits.


Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟


Oh my gosh! I’m completely in love with Jacob Cove!

"Like day and night, we were inextricably linked, but couldn't exist together."

When Jacob and Sutton Scott first meet on a blind date, they totally hit it off. I adored their connection, how comfortable they were with each other, and their chemistry was blinding! When they realised that they were going to be working together, they strived to keep their distance, although neither denied that they wanted something more. However, their dreams and goals meant that they couldn't be together. So, what risks were they willing to take?

"You look like you're about to devour me. It's both completely unnerving and surprisingly hot."

Jacob wasn’t a typical arrogant know-it-all fictional doctor, but a down-to-earth man full of warmth, kindness and empathy. For all his brilliance and wealth, he was an endearingly modest guy. I thought that his doubts and insecurities made him all the more human. His desire for Sutton was thrilling. I loved how they both battled hard against their feelings, and the relief (!!) when they finally got together again! 😅

"I don't f*cking believe in fate, but inevitability came at us like a freight train."

Sutton was so admirable. She'd worked hard to get where she was. She was independent, self-sufficient, and had such a lot of grit. She strived to be the best, yet was self-conscious about her background and continually felt like she had to prove herself. The relationship between her and Jacob was beautiful, natural and sizzling! They were so hot together! 🔥 They fitted perfectly together. Absolutely loved this story.

COVER REVEAL: Off The Ice by Jaqueline Snowe

 



Jaqueline Snowe has revealed
the cover for Off the Ice!




Releasing October 11, 2022

Falling for the hopeless romantic was never part of the plan...

Elle Van Helsing wants to start her life away from home. Constantly living under the shadow of her brother, she plans to find romance and survive on her own: even if it's financially harder than she thought. Getting a job at a dive bar three doors down from her new place is the perfect solution. Well, it was until the owner has a family emergency and asks his nephew to help out in his absence. The guy she used to have a crush on until he ruined it.

Cal Holt might be a legend on the ice, but off it? He's alone and likes to keep it that way. It's easier to protect himself when he's always a jerk, but the one person who gets under his skin is Elle. Torn between wanting to get to know her and pushing her away, he's surprised when he learns she hates him. She looked at him differently the year before, and now that they're stuck managing a bar for a few weeks, tensions rise.

She's a hopeless romantic who wants grand gestures and sees the world through rose-colored glasses. He's a grumpy cynic with a permanent scowl. She dreams of love, and he wants a one-night stand. She plans to build a life on campus, and he plans to leave and head to the NHL. Complete opposites in every way, they shift from enemies to friends...but Cal refuses to fall in love, and Elle deserves more. For the girl who never felt enough, and the guy terrified to feel, fear might ruin their chance at finding love.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Deflected Hearts by Cali Melle

 


Release Date: September 2


Poppy

August Whitley was just a fling–someone fun to spend my time with no strings attached.

We broke things off before our feelings grew, but it was already too late.

After leaving town, I swore to myself that I would never look back.

And when I get surprising news, I’m completely committed to doing it alone.


Until one night when he walks back into my life…


August

Poppy Williams. She was an enigma and a mystery that I wanted to unravel.

Neither of us were ready for a commitment and after a misunderstanding, she left town without a single word.

I tried to find her, but it was as if she fell off the grid. It was messing with my head and becoming a threat to my hockey career.

Until one night, one date with another girl… I find Poppy working at the restaurant and she’s pregnant.


With my child.


I let her leave me once before, but this time I won’t let her get away.


Caroline's Review

🌟🌟🌟🌟


I really enjoyed this story.

"August Whitley is nowhere close to being done with me. And there's nowhere else for me to run."

Poppy Williams and August Whitley had a no-strings arrangement, as the most important thing in August's life was hockey. When he decides to break things off with Poppy, she was fine with it until she found out she was pregnant and about to face life as a single mother.

"I want more of her. I want all of her, in every aspect of my life."

August feels like he made the right decision but he just couldn't let Poppy go. He was gutted when she quit her job in the bar, moved out of her apartment, and completely disappeared. Four months later, he's ready to give up looking for her when he finally sees her again, while he's on a date with a another girl. He's rocked to his core when he not only sees her again...but realises that she's pregnant. This time, he's determined to not mess things up and keep her in his life.

"Your heart is the finish line."

I thought this was a great story. An easy read and fairly low angst between the characters, although quite emotional in places. Poppy is strong and independent but I was glad that she gave August a chance. She was tough on him at some points but she had her own hangups to work through, too. August was desperate to have it all - hockey and a life with Poppy and their baby. He just needed to find the balance in juggling it all. They were sweet, tender and sexy together, and I loved the ending.

COVER REVEAL: Wingspan by Cambria Hebert

 




Title: WINGSPAN
Series: Westbrook Elite #2
Author: Cambria Hebert
Genre: College Sports Romance
Cover Design: Cover Me Darling
Release Date: September 27, 2022


BLURB

Ever feel like you’re being watched?
It’s an awareness so familiar I adapted to it long ago.
Then I enrolled at Westbrook University to chase my dream
and make up for someone else’s lost one.
The prying eyes I’d known almost since birth…
They closed.
Even still, I never got too close.
I made friends with everyone but confided in no one.
My dates were carefully chosen,
meaning I went out with guys I didn’t really like.
And then I was attacked.
I slept in Jamie’s bed while he stayed near me on the floor.
He gave me his number, told me to call.
Oh, I wanted to call. But I didn’t.
Now those invisible, observant eyes that always seemed familiar have returned.
But this time? They chill me to the bone.
Someone is watching. Lurking.
And it’s only a matter of time until whoever is out there does more than stare.
The only place I feel truly safe is wrapped in the massive wingspan of an Elite swimmer.
The very man I know I need to avoid.
But as shit goes down, it becomes clear I’m going to have to surrender something…
My heart or my life.

RELEASE BLITZ: Bitter Sweet Heart by H. Hunting

 

"The heart, the raw authenticity, the original lens, this has become my favorite series of the year and I'm begging for more!" ~ Catherine Cowles, USA Today bestselling author

Bitter Sweet Heart, a steamy, reverse age gap, hockey romance from New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting writing as H. Hunting, is now available!

From the outside looking in, I live a charmed life: hockey legend for a father, my own promising future in the league, a great family, awesome friends. It’s not untrue, but it’s not quite that simple either.

My dad’s advice has always been to make hockey my number-one priority—at least until I make it to the pros. So, going into my senior year of college, I have a plan. I’ll put in the effort required to pass my classes, play hockey like my life depends on it, and avoid relationships. All I have to do is stay focused on the end game, and I’ll walk away with a degree and into a career in the NHL.

It should be easy.

But when a woman literally floats into my dock, just before summer ends and my senior year begins, I can’t resist one last hookup. What harm could a one-night stand do? It’s not like we even exchanged numbers.

Everything is fine until I run into her on campus.

It’s a big school. I should be able to avoid her.

Except she happens to be in my class.

And she’s not a student.

She’s my professor.
