Title: Home for Holly
Series: Hometown Hero Holiday #1
Author: Ava Night
Genre: Short, Sweet, Steamy Romance
Release Date: December 2, 2019
Holly Jacobs was heart-broken. She thought her high school sweetheart, Kevin, would be with her forever. But then, after announcing he’d joined the Army, Kevin unexpectedly broke it off with her and it wasn’t pretty. So when news leaks out that Kevin is back in town Holly is determined not to let it bother her. But when they meet again for the first time in six years, the sparks return faster and hotter than ever before.

A steamy, sweet, second-chance romance with a happily, ever after! 18+ only, please.
MY REVIEW
When Ava hears her high school sweetheart is back in town, she's not thrilled. After all, he left her with a broken heart and never bothered contacting her again. But, as she finds when invited to his mother's party, their chemistry is still there. Perhaps she can get him out of her system and enjoy a few weeks of fun before he ships back out again.

Or perhaps not because her heart is still his. Will he break it again when he leaves and doesn't look back?

While sweet and spicy, Home for Holly is lacking in a strong connection and I didn't get to know either Holly or Kevin well enough to like or dislike them before the ending rushed up on me. The wording in the sex scenes is a little bit squicky - the word member and the word penis are two words I hate being used in sex scenes! But the hardest part for me to get past were the weird POV shifts. The story is mostly told from third person but there were weird shifts into first person that threw me off a lot and took me out of the story and made it even harder for me to connect to this story.
“An original and pleasant story, with realistic characters!” K. Kicsak (Beta Reader) ★★★★★

Cover Reveal: A Little Luck by Tia Louise

Tia Louise has revealed the covers for A Little Luck! Releasing December 14, 2023 Adam Stone is not a saint. He’s six-foot-two, naughty blue eyes, cocky grin, and a bod blessed by the gods. He’s a surfer, a soldier, a pilot, and he’s been my friend since I moved to our small town when we were just kids. But another man took my hand. He took my innocence, took my trust, and broke my heart. I was young. I didn’t know love could be a weapon. I didn’t know the hand that caressed you could also cut you. Now that man is dead, and I’m a single-mom survivor wearing a mask so perfect, no one knows the truth. Trust doesn’t come easy, and surviving is a hard habit to break. But when a plumbing disaster leaves me homeless, one night in Adam Stone’s (supposedly) empty bed changes everything. I’ve hidden my scars so long, I don’t know how else to be, but I want to try. I’m in love with Adam Stone. I love every glance, every wink, every furtive touch… He says he’s different. He sa
