  *ੈ✩‧₊˚༺HAPPY RELEASE DAY TO ZEE IRWIN༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚ For her book: My Hot Autumn Knight Available to read in Amazon/Kindle Unlimited Link => https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CT4NYBMF   About the book: Our marriage was a sham, and what this woman did to my heart was a crime. I had no plans to follow in my father’s footsteps working at the bank, and living the humdrum life of a family man. My world in fast-paced Vegas was far enough away from home to avoid that, or so I thought. When I was called into action, paying back an old debt to my former lieutenant, things went terribly wrong. I had no choice but to return to Kissing Springs—married to a sassy mafia princess to keep her and her teenage daughter safe and in hiding. My family and friends celebrated our homecoming. No one knew our marriage license was fake, our wedding rings only cheap knockoffs, and that newlywed glow in our eyes all an act. We played house, made the perfect pair as husband and wife, and I even allowed her daughter to call

The Cowboy's Forbidden Bride by Megan Crane

 πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–/5 The Cowboy's Forbidden Bride by Megan Crane, book two in her The Careys of Cowboy Point series , is an entertaining, tender, passionate and moving story of a forbidden romance that I struggled to put down. Wilder Carey and his brothers were recently told that their father Zeke is dying and wants grandkids before he’s gone. Wilder, for being truly wild and a life filled with one night stands, has no intentions of getting married to have kids. He loves his work on the ranch mending fences taking care of animals and anything else that needs to be done. When Wilder sees Cat Lisle in a less than reputable bar, he gets her out of there immediately. Little did he know that that action would turned his life upside down. There is something about Cat that has him coming back to her time and again. Only, the Careys and the Lisles had been in an ongoing family feud for generations; think “Hatfields and McCoys” level. Maybe if they kept their relationship a secret they could con

You Belong with Me by Mhairi McFarlane

πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–/5  You Belong with Me by Mhairi McFarlane  is a humorous, and entertaining story. I had not read the book that precedes this but I was not at a disadvantage as a great job was done of explaining the past events. This book describes the shaky courtship of two people madly in love, juggling problems that threaten their future together. There are many wonderful conversations that illustrate the give and take two people together must make in a relationship, and McFarlane does a lovely job of allowing both Edie and Elliot the grace to value themselves while also support each other. I was convinced that the characters truly belong together and that the romance is part of the work required to maintain a life-long love. #NetGalley #Avon

πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–/5 Magical Meet Cute by Jean Meltzer is a fun, romantic story, infused with a touch of magic, this novel weaves together well-drawn characters, a unique premise, and a cozy setting. Whether you're a fan of romance, intrigued by Jewish folklore, or simply seeking an uplifting read, Magical Meet Cute promises a delightful escape into a world where everyday moments hold hidden enchantment. I wish there were more magical elements throughout the story, but I still appreciate the author's approach in taking readers on a historical journey through Semitic history and addressing the attacks against it, intertwined with the characters' traumatic yet self-healing experiences. #NetGalley #HarlequinTrade
