Author: Christine DePetrillo

Genre: Small Town Romance

About More Than Cookies:

“I don’t usually trust my heart, but I know it’s not lying to me about you.”

Sage Stannard is grumpy. Having just attended her cousin’s wedding in California, she’s at her limit for watching happy couples stare dreamily at one another. She’s never had anything but quick romps back home in Vermont that always turn out to be mistakes. Big ones. Maybe moving out of her mother’s house and taking a stab at online dating will add a little excitement to this caterer’s stale life. Maybe it’ll bring more disappointment. Who knows?

Chainsaw artist Orion Finley is on a mission to get his daughter, Myah, back from his ruthless ex-wife. Only trouble is his ex-wife is a crafty lawyer with connections—ones that give her the upper hand. She even managed to get custody of his dog, Ranger, just to drive the stake deeper into his heart. His father always told him women were poison, especially the pretty ones. Why hadn’t he listened? Well, he was listening now.

When Sage and Orion meet over a bloody couch, the gates are opened to a path neither of them is quite ready to travel on. Will they stumble? Will it be all uphill? Or will the end of the path be just the new beginning they need?

About the Author:

Christine DePetrillo can often be found hugging trees, conversing with dragonflies, and walking barefoot through sun-warmed soil. She finds joy in listening to the wind, bathing in moonlight, and breathing in the fragrances of things that bloom. If she had her way, the sky would be the only roof over her head.

Her love of nature seeps into every story she tells. As does her obsession with bearded mountain men who build, often smell like sawdust, and know how to cherish the women they love. Today she writes tales meant to make you laugh, maybe make you sweat, and definitely make you believe in the power of love.

She lives in Vermont with her husband and many woodland creatures who defend her fiercely from all evils.

EXCERPT REVEAL

It’s extremely difficult to sit and watch her try to hide the pain she’s feeling as they clean her wounds. She’s trying so hard to be strong and put on a neutral face but I know how deep those wounds are; how gruesome and painful they are. I saw what they did to her when she was hanging from the ceiling. The paramedics had to put her shoulder back in place because it was out of socket from the way she was hanging for so long. She tightens her grip in my hands. I clench my jaw and look over her shoulder at the nurse who’s in tears. “Can you increase her pain medicine or something?” I ask the nurse, hating this shit more than anything. The nurse stops what she’s doing and pushes the button on the wall asking for another nurse to bring some more pain medicine for her. Emily takes a deep breath once she stops touching her back. I cup her face in awe of how tough she is. “You’re so strong.” She smiles for the first time and I feel like she just fucking gave me the moon to see that smile on her face. I would do anything to see that again, over and over. From the shit that was handed to her, seeing her smile proves that they didn’t take away her spirit completely.

That all you got, Coach? August gained speed, fists unclenching at his sides as he poured himself into the sprint.

Our coven and friends gradually fell further behind, unmotivated by our silent competition…

Still, we pushed, farther, harder, faster, our shoes slapping against the pavement now, as mortal as could be.

First one back wins? I could feel his smile, although I didn’t dare a glance his way as I focused my burning eyes on the front awning of the Westerlunds’ building.

Wins…what exactly?

A round of truth or dare.

Child.

It’s that or strip poker.

I snorted. I wouldn’t last long.

Don’t know how to play poker?

I met his cocky stare, trying to hide as I fought to keep my breathing even. I’m just not wearing much under these clothes.

August cleared his throat, the sound tight, making it impossible to fight back my smile. “Fuuuck,” he growled.

I’d been fooling myself, thinking I stood a chance.

New Release ~ Starting Back ~ by ~ Stephanie Rose

Title: Starting Back

Author: Stephanie Rose

Release: January 25, 2023

Publisher: That’s What She Said Publishing

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Single Mom, Firefighter, Second Chance, He falls first, Small town, Hurt/comfort, multi-cultural

“This story is steamy, romantic, sweet and heartwarming. Everything you could want!” ★★★★★ Barbara A.

“… a sweet and sexy, small town, single mom romance with all the feels.” ★★★★★ JudyAnnLovesBooks

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

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.
