Kristina

My accidental solo vacation takes a turn for the less-depressing after a drink that leads to a date with a brawny, bedroom-eyed firefighter. I’m 42, divorced, with two daughters at home. I thought romance was in my rearview mirror until the mysteriously intense Leo makes me feel like I’m the only woman in the Florida Keys.

I know better than to get attached. But between midnight kisses and dirty talk under starry skies, our connection feels so real. So right.

I can’t give up my entire life for a fling. Not even for a man that reminds me I’m not defined by a failed marriage and a car pool calendar. And especially not one who has no interest in a family of his own, let alone a package deal like me.

Leo

We were supposed to be temporary. Just like everything else in my life. So why can’t I get Kristina out of my head? I’m the master of no strings, no attachments. But our time together haunts me after she leaves.

I’m not cut out to make a life with a woman. A woman with two kids? Forget it.

At least, that’s what I thought until fate brings us together again. It turns out the move I made to be closer to family brings me to Kristina’s hometown—and right in her path.

I can’t still explain the overpowering pull between us, but I’m sure of who she is.

Mine.

And I’m not letting her go this time.

Stephanie Rose is a badass New Yorker, a wife, a mother, and lover of all things chocolate. Most days you’ll find her trying to avoid standing on discarded LEGO or deciding which book to read next. Her debut novel, Always You, released in 2015, and since then she’s written several more—some of which will never see completion—and has ideas for hundreds to come.

“Fuck it,” I muttered, my voice barely audible, raised the covers, and in I went.

At first, I mirrored her posture, lying on my side without touching her. My pulse quickened, my mind coming up blank.

In, out. In, out.

The familiar repetition dissipated my anxiety. The longer I repeated it, the slower my heart beat. Soon, my breaths synchronized with those of Justine, our shoulders rising and falling in tandem. Only then did I move, draping my arm across her pink nightgown, sheathing her waist, scooting closer to her.

Hate would make you forget a lot of things. It’d wipe out lazy afternoons of lying on the beach together. It’d box and store away secret moments you glanced at the girl you loved while she gave imaginary classes to her dolls, while you were supposed to be reading finance articles. It’d bury the time she caught you doing it and smiled at you as if she loved you too.

It could try to drown, by a small portion, the memory of how your love felt beneath your fingertips when you hugged her through days and nights, through tears and laughter in the intimate position you’d shared with no one ever since. It could try, but it would fail.

Because once reality kicked in, it didn’t stand a fucking chance.

Shani Haim has been a romantic at heart for as long as she can remember.

One of her greatest passions has always been reading, and she devoured anything that swept her away to faraway places.

From reading she made the transition to writing, falling in love with her flawed, broken and full of soul characters one happily-ever-after at a time.

When she’s not swooning over book boyfriends, she’s practicing yoga, drinking unhealthy amount of coffee, or watching Netflix with her husband in their Tel Aviv home.

Cover Reveal ~ Toe the Line ~ by ~ Penelope Ward

Title: Toe the Line

Author: Penelope Ward

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Trope: Friends-to-Lovers

Cover Design: Letitia Hasser, RBA Designs

Photographer: Martin Traynor

Model: Christian Ganon @christianganon46

Release Date: February 27, 2023

BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a friends-to-lovers story spanning more than a decade…

At first, I thought I’d hate spending the summer with Archie Remington—the conceited son of my parents’ friends.

What I knew about Archie: he was gorgeous, pre-law, and had always treated me like I didn’t exist when we were younger.

When our families bought a house together on an island in Maine, he and I were forced to share a bathroom.

The boy I remembered was now a full-grown man—but with the same attitude.

After a rough start, Archie and I unexpectedly started getting along one day and eventually became friends. We shared secrets and bonded during our morning jogs. I discovered that Archie had a wild spirit and that he struggled to conform to his father’s expectations.

Things were cool until I had to go and ruin it, getting drunk one night, and blurting out my fantasy—involving him.

I took it back, but it was too late. Archie had heard me loud and clear. After that, we never quite knew how to toe the line.

When that summer came to an abrupt and shocking end, I headed back to college, unsure if anything would ever be the same again.

Across the miles over the years, he and I stayed in touch as friends, but fate and timing always kept us from becoming more.

You know the saying: If two people are meant to be, they’ll find their way back to each other?

Let’s just say Archie came back into my life in a way I would’ve never expected.

And this time, my heart would really be put to the test.

New Release ~ Damaged Love ~ by ~ Harper Monroe

Title: Damaged Love

Series: Cape Cove Series Book 2

Author: Harper Monroe

Genre: Bully Romance (can be read as standalone)

Release Date: January 20, 2023

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review – “Words are not going to do this book justice.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review – “Five huge stars for this read!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review – “Love this sweet sexy read!”

I was going to be her prince and save her until…I became the villain.

She was the girl everyone bullied. I was the boy hiding a secret. She thinks she was just a bet, but she doesn’t know the truth. I watched her break and I tried to fix her, but some might say I took it too far. She was gone for nine months, but here she is…back on the first day of our senior year.

Samantha Saxton, the girl I’ve known my entire life and have loved just as long.

Everything was perfect until the night of prom when someone tried to ruin us. I won’t let them destroy what I have with her, I’ll do what I always do for her…retaliate.

I was done with the games, but I guess one more won’t hurt, right? They started it, they wanted to play, but I will always win.

***THIS BOOK COMES WITH TRIGGER WARNINGS THAT WILL BE FULLY LISTED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE BOOK.

I close my eyes, remembering Maddox’s stormy grays this morning and the way he was watching me. I didn’t need to look at him to know that familiar prickle of goosebumps that scattered across my flesh when I felt his eyes on me or him just being near. I’ve felt it for years and no matter the amount of time that has gone by, I felt it stronger than ever this morning. I thought maybe by being gone for nine months that I would have gotten over this ridiculous notion that I’m in love with Maddox Walker, but nope seeing him again brought it all back, burning more intense than ever. I should hate him after everything he’s done, but for some reason I can’t.

Harper Monroe is a new Indie Author with Rebel’s Love being her first published novel. She will be writing in the genres of bully romance and enemies to lovers.

She resides in Kansas with her husband, kids, and their pug. After a long day at work, Harper likes to watch Netflix or read a book when she can. Her and her son are obsessed with Stranger Things.

Author: Britney King

Genre: Psychological Thriller

Release Date: January 19, 2023

The bestselling author of HER and The Social Affair returns with a suspenseful tale of crime and passion about a charming sociopath and the criminologist hired to find his killer.

Jason McClure is one of the world’s most skilled womanizers. A charming sociopath with a penchant for luxury, Jason is found naked in a dumpster, the only clue to his murder a crumpled photograph stuffed in his mouth.

Camile Brennan is a criminologist hired to consult with the Dallas Police Department on a single task: to find the person—or persons—responsible for McClure’s death.

Camile, who is equal parts beauty, brains, and narcissist, throws herself into the investigation, which takes a lascivious turn when she discovers photos of multiple women on Jason’s laptop, each wearing one of the distinctive rings on the photo from Jason’s mouth.

And just like that, she’s thrust front and center into Jason McClure’s debauched past, which is actually a relief, considering Camile’s own life is about to take a rocky turn.

Ringman is a sleek, fast-paced international thriller guaranteed to leave even the most seasoned suspense reader breathless.

Britney King lives in Austin, Texas with her husband, children, a dog named Gatsby, one ridiculous cat, and a partridge in a peach tree.

When she’s not wrangling the things mentioned above, she writes psychological, domestic and romantic thrillers set in suburbia.

Without a doubt, she thinks connecting with readers is the best part of this gig. You can find Britney online here:

Title: Rebel Torture

Series: A World of Rebel Souls Novel

Author: Thetta James

Genre: MC Romance (Horror)

Release Date: January 31, 2023

Ephraim

As the Sergeant at Arms of the Rebel Souls, I keep the peace amongst the brothers and make sure that the rules are followed. We ride hard and play even harder. What was supposed to be a routine night, turned into total chaos. The fiery redhead that I’ve longed for is suddenly taken and the dormant beast within is out for blood.

It’s been a long time since I’ve tortured someone. The screams of agony brought peace to my soul. They should’ve thought twice before they took her. I’m the payback that makes you regret your actions and the monster that gives you nightmares.

**Warning** This book may cause triggers. Please read with caution.

I’ve enjoyed books for as long as I can remember. Reading allows you to expand your mind and make you say, what if? Six years ago, I became a part of the Book World as a Blogger and The Erotic Book Review was born.

I love reading and listening to all genres, but I’m very drawn to Romance on the kinky side of things. I believe pursuing your passion brings out your creativity and allows endless possibilities to come forth. It is magic to take a reader on a journey that forces them to crossover into your world. My love for stories has inspired me to write and share my words. I hope readers enjoy them as much as I loved creating them.

Author: H.L Packer

Genre: New Adult Romance

Release Date: January 18, 2023

BLURB

What lurks in the shadows is even more horrific than I could have imagined.

The only thing worse than having a bad reputation is having no reputation at all. So, as invisible as I am, I can’t say no when the La Famiglia heir drops an invitation to party in my lap. Even if that party is rumoured to be more dangerous than the man himself.

Tino holds all the keys to my future status at The Academy, and all I need is an opportunity. But is his world more than I can handle? He seems to think I could be the light at the end of his tunnel, but all signs point that we’ll both end up in the dark…

Fans of M Robinson’s angst ridden emotional duets and Tracy Lorraine’s dark and driven heroes are falling hard for Shattered and Torn.

Please note, this is a tragic, yet beautiful, and heart-breaking love story. It does not have a Happily Ever After (HEA) or even a Happy For Now (HFN). The hero in this book gets his HEA in the Love on the Line duet; Broken Lies and Fractured Truth.

AUTHOR BIO

H.L. Packer is, quite frankly, a busy bee.

An avid reader as a child, her love for all things written waned into adulthood, the excitement of real life things taking over. But when her life slowed down as she finished her office job for maternity leave, her husband purchased her an e-reader, and that obsession was rekindled.

Quickly she went from reader to reviewer, and then from reviewer to blogger; street teams and promo tours galore. When she began collating her own book boxes over at Romance Readers Book Box UK and had the opportunity to include her own words and worlds, the characters began talking.

Those cheeky characters quickly found themselves written down on the page, and her first series was in progress.

When she is not coordinating her worlds, you can find her running around after her free-spirited three children, and husband, or tending to the dogs, bearded dragons, and snakes that also reside with them.

A break can be found soaking in a bubble bath or enjoying a glass of wine, often still with a book in her hand.
