This is a new author to me and for this read I had seen the blurb and was trying to prepare myself before hand knowing that the forbidden love was a sensitive situation. Meeting Boone at first made me feel for him and his situation with Jade and all of their emotions. Grady seems like a young great guy who loves his sister and has idolized his brother in law. This story is a slow burn as the author lays the groundwork of Boones failing marriage. Forbidden love to the 100th power and it was a bit sticky to me and I had a lot of emotions. First I was team Jade then I was like Go Boone and Grady but it was hard. This story in the context of Only thinking about Boone and Grady is beautiful and raw. Forbidden , age gap and bi awakening all just hits all the feels. The situation of why it was forbidden was a bit harder for me to swallow. In the end there is a HEA and I was happy for the couple and bad for Jade.

Why you need to #ONECLICK this book… 🏔️Brother in Law 🩷Professional Bull Rider 🏔️Single Dad 🩷Small Town 🏔️Age Gap 🩷Forced Proximity 🏔️MM Romance
Rule number one: Don’t fall for my brother in law.
It should be easy, right?
Wrong.
When I moved in with my sister over summer break, I had no intention of returning to college in the fall. A work trip for her meant a lot of time alone for me with her husband. Boone Stanton. World famous bull rider and way, way off limits.
A few late night, deep conversations between the two of us, only the midnight sky our witness, and suddenly, I can’t look away. Can’t keep my mind off of him.
It’s in the way he works around the yard, sweaty and shirtless. The way his eyes soften and he leans into his playful side around his daughter. And it’s in the way he makes me feel seen. The way he’s slowly chipping away at my exterior without even realizing it.
Then one night I see something I shouldn’t. Something that makes my mouth water and my heart race. Except when he catches me, instead of stopping and reprimanding me, he… keeps going.
Now, I have the opportunity of a lifetime but it means going on the road with him. It means living in even closer quarters than before. It also means doubling down on keeping my hands to myself and my gaze away from his dark, observing eyes.
But I’m only human, and it’s only a matter of time before I crack. Before I give in and do something I can’t take back.

Book #3 and we are back in Sterling Falls, where I must say is a pretty cool town😁 Ford and Cadence are both famous people with their own demons to fight. One night that Ford lets go and he is questioning his life the next day when he meets Cadence, only they met before…. Meet cute meter is 10/10! Cadence ends up spending time with Ford girls and the journey starts to evolve. These two chemistry was off the charts. The family and friends in Sterling is a great compliment to the story. This is my favorite couple by far! They both are jaded a bit when it comes to love so it’s great to see these two heal together. This is a five star read from the Cover, to the characters, to the plot and all the way till the end! There is some singing and baseball sprinkled in to really bring it all together like a great recipe! This is a must read!

Why you need to #ONECLICK this book… ⚾Prodigal Son Returns ⚾Baseball Single Dad ⚾Famous Country Singer ⚾Unlikely Roommates ⚾Forced Proximity ⚾Small Town Romance ⚾All the Swoony Heat
Love was a losing battle for this country music darling and a single dad, baseball star until one night brings them together and one small town sets the playing field for a possible winning streak.
They call me Lady Boss. Maneater. Queen. But beneath the makeup, blond wig, and glitzy costumes, I’m just a country girl who likes to sing. I don’t hate men, I’m just struggling to find a good one. I’ve learned my lesson. Fool me once, and it will never, ever happen again. So I’m baffled when I meet Ford Sylver.
A superstar in his own right as the centerfielder for the Chicago Anchors baseball team, plus a single dad to three adorable little girls, we share a moment when I save his firm backside and pretend he’s mine. Something that he can never be.
Only, when he suffers a season-changing injury and I need a place to disappear, we both end up back in Sterling Falls, where I’m suddenly and unwittingly his nanny.
There’s danger in having a wild side. I’ll try anything once. However, forced into close quarters with Ford, acting as his personal nurse, and caring for his three little ones might backfire. Because I’m staring at all I ever wanted and never thought would happen for me.
After losing at love in the past, could I finally be on a winning streak?
If you are a fan of Single dad, small town and Age gap romance then this is your jam! This is the first in this series and new author to me. I really enjoyed her writing style and the characters in this book. Harper is a free spirit and not looking for commitment. Max is a single dad and is not looking to settle down. After Harper bids on Max at an auction they hit it off. The journey starts for these two even though they have issues to work through. I won’t say no more but you will love Harper personality and Max needs a Pep talk but in the end it was a good HEA!

Sometimes love singles you out when you least expect it—or want it…
Harper Commitment was never my thing. But I’ve been directionless for far too long. It’s time to take on some responsibilities and get my life together. Bidding on my best friend’s brother at a bachelor auction didn’t help me with that. Neither did having a hot, secret fling with him. Too bad that didn’t stop me. Because now I’m in way over my head. And I’m afraid I might not be ready for the biggest commitment of all. Love…
Max I’ve got more commitments than I can handle. I became a single dad overnight. Between that and my coaching job, I don’t have time for romance. Especially not with her. Harper’s not only my little sister’s friend, she’s also my boss’s daughter. There are a million reasons why we shouldn’t be together. And I can’t seem to remember any of them when she’s in my arms…
Singled Out, book 1 in the Single Dads of Dragonfly Lake series, is an emotional, sexy, opposites attract, small town contemporary romance. Download today and get ready to fall for Harper, Max, and Dragonfly Lake.
This was a new author for me but reading this 4th book in the series was just fine. It can be read as a stand alone. I struggled with this read a bit. I love a good small town romance and this story had that feel. I will say Rainer , oh Rainer had my heart!! I was so torn during this read! It is emotional and i personally was not a fan of his and Maeve relationship. I don’t want to say too much and spoil anything but there is a twist that had me dying! Maeve and Rainer are best friends and he stays in the friend zone until life changes. I really think that Rainer is great bestie and boyfriend material. I admired how he continued even through the hurt. There is a HEA but the road to it definitely had some potholes. I do give it 3 1/2 stars.
✨Let’s celebrate! It’s release day for WILD CRUSH by @kaceysheabooks! Grab it in KU!
Are you ready to head back to Wilder Valley? Maeve’s story is next in this small town, single mom, best friends to lovers romance! Wild Crush can be read as a standalone, or start with Ryan and Val’s story in Wild Hearts.
I’ve loved Maeve Wilder my whole life.
She’s never seen me as more than a friend but that’s my fault. By the time I was brave enough to confess my feelings, I was too late.
She met the man she would marry and it wasn’t me. I missed my chance.
Now we’re in our thirties, still the best of friends, and I’ve made peace with the fact my unrequited love will never amount to more than a wild crush. Mostly.
But when her husband walks out—leaving her to raise their three children alone, I’m the one who is there to pick up the pieces.
Each night I fall asleep on her sofa, longing for her to see me as more than a friend. When she does, it changes everything.
My heart belongs to hers, it always has. But when reality comes crashing down, will the life we’ve built over the last few months be enough for her to choose a forever with me?

Or, as some of my fellow Park Avenue Princes like to call me, the Manwhore of Manhattan. Act like a sex god, dress like a sex god, 𝑏𝑒 a sex god. In my opinion, these are fantastic life goals. I have no idea why my parents think I have no direction. I’m the fun one. Easygoing. A massive flirt. I get along with just about everyone, except…
Caleb Reeves. Also known as “the Bane of My Existence”
He’s everything I’m not: Focused, effortlessly sexy but straight, and an ex-Park Avenue Prince. Or the “Pricks,” as he likes to call us now.
Our rivalry is legendary. Putting us within a hundred feet of each other is just asking for trouble. But no one other than the two of us knows why 𝑜𝑟 how it began, and we plan to keep it that way. The unspoken agreement is that Caleb keeps to his side of the city, I keep to mine, and we avoid each other at all costs.
Which would be great, except we have to see each once a month at family dinner. Because Caleb isn’t only my arch-nemesis, he also happens to be…my stepbrother.
Second chance Surprise baby This can be read as a standalone as I hadn’t read the two books prior. Zander is Alpha playboy and not a commitment guy. Harlow was the one woman he was able to last two weeks with until their fling hit too close and his feelings started to show. He disappears and five years later fate has them seeing each other again. How will Zander feel when he sees Harlow child? Can they find a HEA? I was team Harlow the whole time! Zander to me was definitely playboy and when life smacked him in the face it was nice to see him work for it. I really needed him to redeem himself. I really did enjoy this read and his brothers and side characters were great.
