COVER REVEAL - Lovers Heights by Annie Dyer

Image
  LOVERS HEIGHTS Annie Dyer Release Date: August 10   WILL BE FREE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED   The deal was simple… Pretend to be in a relationship without falling for each other. Only I’m not sure I can hold my end of the bargain. I’m the sensible one out of my brothers.   The reliable one.   The one who doesn’t make hasty decisions.   Or at least that was me until Ruby Murray turned up in my small town with her long legs and red lips, and a secret she needed me to help keep. It should be straightforward – I pretend to be her boyfriend, and she shows my ex-girlfriend I’ve moved on.   But this fake relationship feels too real for both of us. She’s sure we’re just friends – but the benefits suggest it’s a whole lot more. I’m sure that when she leaves town, she’ll be taking part of me with her. Ruby thinks we can carry on pretending.   She says that this is just a favour to help us both out. I say a secret wedding proves otherwise.   I just need to show her that she can

  The Agent by Kimberly Kincaid is r eleasing July 11, 2023! Blurb His enemy's little sister is the only person with the power to undo him.   Nothing rattles stone-cold FBI Agent Kai Roman. Not chasing down ruthless criminals. Not losing his wife years ago. Not even inadvertently being caught in the middle of a bank robbery.   Except Camila Garza is right beside him when danger strikes, and suddenly he's the only person who can protect the off-limits beauty. No matter how much her older brother hates him. And no matter how much he secretly wants her.   Camila knows she should hate Roman. He's made it clear he doesn't like her—or possibly anyone—one bit. But when they have to go on the run to save their lives, she begins to see past his icy exterior to the man who would do anything to keep her safe. Including risk it all. **** The Agent is the sixth and last standalone in the Intelligence Unit series, set in the shared world of Remington. Full of edge-of-your-seat action

 πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’– /5 Harper & the Single Dad by Amy Andrews, a Medical Romance and book one in A Sydney Central Reunion series, is a second chance romance, it deals heavily with the theme of ‘right person, wrong time,’ with unknown reasons for why a relationship that didn’t work out the first time can do so now.   After an abrupt breakup with Yarran, Harper fled to London and immersed herself in her career as a surgeon. When she returns to Sydney twelve years later, it almost feels as if things between her and Yarran haven’t changed at all; except that during that time of separation, Yarran has been married, widowed, and has a young son, Jarran. With Harper’s return, both she and Yarran reconnect and act as if the separation of the past twelve years did not happen. There are many obstacles each must overcome before they can get their HEA.   I enjoyed getting to know the two main characters, and I enjoyed getting their backstory. My problem with this book is that the two main charac

Beginning of Forever by Catherine Bybee

 πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’– /5 I loved Gio and Emma’s story in Beginning of Forever by Catherine Bybee, book three in the D’Angelos series; a sweet romance that captures you on page one, not letting go until you reach the end.

Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood

πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’– /5 Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood is an enemies to lovers story that is quirky and entertaining; complete with likable characters. Elsie is a physicist who works as an adjunct professor at three different colleges, which results in crazy commutes, an ever-lowering salary and infuriating (and hilarious) emails from students demanding deadline extensions. This is not the dream research job Elsie always wanted, and the lack of health insurance means she’s forced to pay for insulin out of pocket (she’s a Type I diabetic), and somehow still be able to afford rent and food everything else. Then she and her best friend start working for Faux, an app where people can basically request fake dates for different events such as parties, work functions, etc. Then Elsie finds herself in the running for a tenure-track professor position at MIT.

A Love Catastrophe by Helena Hunting

Image
 πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’– /5 A Love Catastrophe by Helena Hunting is a sweet, swoon-worthy recipe of happiness, with a combination of the many of my favorites tropes, including a disastrous meet-cute, opposites who attract, sunshine meets the grump, and friends to lovers. The sunshine comes from the good-hearted, cat-loving heroine, who is a devoted animal whisperer. Kitty Hart is a quirky, sweet, and quirky web phenomenon with a cat-sitting business. Her path crosses with the grumpy, brooding, and stressed hero, Miles Thorn, a data analyst for an NHL team who needs someone to take care of his mother's menacing cat while she is in the hospital. He hires Kitty after doing his web search, getting impressed by her skills, even though he doesn't believe she can connect with his mother's evil incarnation cat, which needs urgent exorcism. They both couldn't be more different: one is an optimist, a smiling cat lover, and the other is a sulking, pessimistic dog lover. Their chemistry is off
