Review Blitz: Carry on Wayward Son (Wayward Sons #4) by Kait Nolan writing as Harper Jackson

CARRY ON WAYWARD SON Harper Jackson Release Date: August 21 AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED Final book in the Wayward Sons series. I've spent my career searching for the missing. The irony isn't lost on me. When the investigative podcast I work for gets a request to look into a cold case off the Carolina coast, there are a hundred reasons I should say no. But some cases find you for a reason, and this one hits too close to home to refuse. Hatterwick Island is beautiful and insular and hiding something far deeper than one missing girl. The closer we get to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes—for the investigation, for the people I'm working with, and for me in ways I can't afford to examine too closely. Jace Hollingsworth is island royalty with twelve years in the Navy and eyes that don't miss much. He's got good instincts, and he's already suspicious of me. I have good reasons to be careful. But the longer I stay on this island, the harder...

I didn’t sign up for a cooking class as a way to meet men. But my handsome partner made it really hard to remember why I wanted to stay single. It wasn’t the right time. I had too much else going on. I’d been burned before, and had no desire for it to happen again. They were all reasons that should have been enough to convince me. Still, I couldn’t stop thinking about him. Then I’m violently attacked, and Micah shows up just in time to save me. Hurt, scared, and still in danger, when he asks me to stay with him for my protection, I agree. If I’d arrived minutes later, I wouldn’t have saved her. I’d seen a lot of bad things during my years in the ...

Review Blitz: The Fall Affair by Vi Keeland

Author: Vi Keeland Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance Tropes: Opposites Attract/Found Family Release Date: August 18, 2026 BLURB She’s counting down the days until she leaves Tuscany. He’s counting on making her stay. Some people go to Tuscany to find themselves. I went to escape—New York, my ex’s new relationship, and a career that derailed the moment I was passed over for partner. My plan was simple: settle my eccentric Italian grandmother’s estate, sell whatever wasn’t nailed down, and return to the life I’d worked too hard to lose. Instead, I walked into a mess—a crumbling antique shop, two hundred acres of leased vineyard land, and one infuriating clause in the will: Live and work in the shop for three months, or inherit nothing. Then there’s the neighbor I clash with instantly. Matteo Lucchese is the infuriatingly handsome winemaker who leases my family’s land and refuses to be impressed by my credentials—or my attitude. He’s rugged and stubborn, stuck living i...

Review: Lovely Venom (Empire of Kings #3) by A. Zavarelli

Amazon/KU: https://geni.us/LovelyVenom 𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐒: 🖤Secretly obsessed hero 🖤Guarded heroine 🖤Hidden identity 🖤Rival families 🖤He falls first Blurb I’ve spent six years hiding behind a fake identity, too many deadbolts, and secrets that could destroy me. Trust isn’t an option. Especially when it comes to the man who doesn’t know I’m rival blood. In the Cosa Nostra, they call him Il Corvo—the Raven. On the surface, he’s cold, controlled, aloof…and definitely not interested. So I made a deal with a mysterious masked stranger instead. It was supposed to be a simple arrangement. He would help me explore my desires and overcome my fears. No names, no attachments. But when it got too real, I ran. What I didn’t know was that he had secrets of his own. Because the man who’s haunted me for the last three years? He might go by a different name… But he and the Raven are one and the same. MY REVIEW ...

Review Blitz: Second Edition: A Single Dad/Nanny, Age Gap Romance by Cleo White

Second Edition by Cleo White is now live! In retrospect, it might not have been the wisest idea to hand in my v-card to a hot librarian I picked up at my mother’s cocktail party. In my defense, the man has a French accent, gray hair, and knows a lot about books. The cards were really stacked against me making good choices, folks. I was probably naïve to expect a call after that, but when he didn’t, it hurt to accept he didn’t feel that same connection I did. If that isn’t a sign you need to make a change, I don’t know what is. Too bad the “change” I get is six months in a remote French chateau, working as a nanny to an adorable little girl. Who happens to be the daughter of the single dad I had sex with in a grocery store parking lot. Ellis Delvaux has made it clear he isn’t interested in a relationship. Unfortunately, when you’re a hopeless romantic spending that much time with someone you’re attracted to, in what might be the most beautiful place on the planet, things happe...

Excerpt Reveal: The Fall Affair by Vi Keeland

Author: Vi Keeland Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance Tropes: Opposites Attract/Found Family Release Date: August 18, 2026 Take a sneak peek of THE FALL AFFAIR. You know you want to... Allegra: I think you’re pretty amazing. I’m going to bed smiling on the eve of what might turn out to be one of the worst days of my life. Thank you for coming here with me. The reply came almost instantly. Matteo: I think you’re pretty amazing, too. And I love your smile. That made my already-big grin grow wider. Rather than text back, I decided to take a selfie of me beaming to show him I wasn’t kidding. I held my phone out, tilted it down for a good angle, and snapped a photo of me lying in bed. Only when I checked the picture, I realized the camera had caught a lot more than I’d intended. Yes, I was smiling, but I was also wearing a black slip nightgown, the top of which was lace and showed a lot of cleavage. I hadn’t been going for sexy, but damn, it was. I bit my lip, debating...
