Blurb:
As a single mom with my hands and heart full, finding love is the last thing on my mind.
Then Everett Windward comes along.
My new neighbor is charming, handsome, and sexy—and before I know it, I have a new
friend…with benefits.
Fun and filthy benefits.
There’s just one problem—He’s also my son’s teacher.
That alone should have me pumping the brakes… except it doesn’t. I’m drawn to him and to
the way he makes me feel. Everett has a filthy side that has reignited something inside of me
that I haven’t felt in years.
Something I thought I lost.
But there are rules…
My son can’t know.
No sleeping over.
And absolutely no feelings involved.
But as time goes on, it becomes impossible to ignore the butterflies in my stomach when I
catch him looking at me, or when I watch him play ball with my son day after day.
Before I know it, he’s so intertwined in our lives, and I can no longer deny the desire to break
the very rules that I put into place to begin with.
But it’s not just my feelings I have to consider.
I can see how quickly my son is becoming attached to him. See the way he yearns for that
father figure in his life.
We have experienced enough hurt and loss to last a lifetime. Can I really open up our hearts,
knowing the risk I’m taking?

Blurb:
A search for three abducted teens—
and a K-9 on the case.
After surviving a vicious attack in the woods, Tori Campbell awakes to her worst nightmare—her son and his two friends are missing. She calls the one person she knows she can trust, her late husband’s best friend, former DEA agent Michael Lane. Together with his search-and-rescue K-9, they must track the boys and figure out who took them—and why. Only, the Indiana wilderness is full of dangers beyond their abductor. Can Michael and Tori find the teens…even if it means falling into a sinister trap?
From Love Inspired Courage. Danger. Faith.
My review:
Tracking the Missing is part of the K-9 Search and Rescue author collaboration series. Although this series and author were new to me, I had no trouble reading it as standalones.
Widowed Tori Campbell takes her son and friends camping only to wake up to a nightmare. Barely lucid, she remembers her husband telling her to call his best friend, DEA Agent Michael Lane, if she needs help. Michael and his dog, Ducky, join Tori in searching for teens. Their adrenaline-charged search has many twists and turns. Along the way, Toni’s faith is restored and they have the opportunity for a second chance romance.
The book was plot-driven, but the author did a great job balancing the story while giving the characters depth. The pacing was perfect and the twist and turns kept my attention the entire book. I am so glad I got the opportunity to discover this author. I enjoyed the book and look forward to future books by the author.
I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Take Me Home for Christmas
Tracy Solheim
(Chances Inlet Contemporary Romance, #5)
Publication date: December 12th 2024
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Holiday, Romance
In the quaint coastal town of Chances Inlet, Christmas is a time for rekindling lost connections . . .
Elinor “Elle” McAlister is on the brink of a big-time promotion that will finally put her on equal footing with her overachieving siblings. The catch? She has to babysit a notoriously prickly war reporter who’s late delivering his memoir. As if that weren’t enough, her editor banishes them both to Elle’s hometown on the Carolina coast to get the job done. Spending the holidays in Chances Inlet might have been fine—if only she hadn’t wrecked the most important relationship in her life during her visit last Christmas.
Deputy Sheriff Hayden Lovell has known Elle was his person ever since she swiped his purple crayon back in kindergarten. Through every twist and setback, her steady friendship has been his anchor, especially after he returned from combat with wounds that run deep. But everything changed last New Year’s Eve when Elle surprised him with a kiss, stirring feelings he didn’t realize he had. Now that she’s back in town and keeping her distance, Hayden wonders if that moment meant as much to her as it did to him.
Chances Inlet has a knack for bringing people together. With Christmas around the corner, can Elle and Hayden rewrite their story before the holiday spirit fades? Join them in a heartwarming tale of love, friendship, and the magic of second chances in a town that knows how to celebrate Christmas like no other.

EXCERPT:
“Do you know who Everett West is?” Madelaine asked.
Everyone with access to a television knew who Everett West was. He’d been a globe-trotting war reporter for the past thirty-five years.
“He’s writing his memoir,” Elle responded. “We are serializing it in the magazine. The number of readers downloading the chapters has quadrupled over the past three months.”
Helen beamed at her. “Impressive. You know your stats about other aspects of the magazine besides your own.”
“The serialization is meant to whet the appetite of readers in hopes of getting them to order the book when we release it in July,” Madelaine explained.
“The problem we have,” Helen added, “is that Everett hasn’t quite finished the manuscript despite signing a contract stipulating he would complete it by the first of this month.”
“Oh.” Elle looked between the two women, still unsure what this had to do with her.
Helen shook her head. “Mm. Men aren’t always good at keeping their promises as I’m sure you are aware, Elinor.”
Whoa!
Was Helen apologizing for her worm of a grandson?
Madelaine leaned forward in her chair. “We need Everett to finish this book by the end of the year, or the magazine will run out of material to serialize.”
“And we won’t have any way to fulfill those preorders,” Elle added.
“Exactly!” Helen slapped her palm on the table.
Elle continued to gaze at the two women, trying to divine some sort of explanation as to why they were telling her this. “That’s a serious problem for the entire company.”
“Everett doesn’t seem to be able to focus on the manuscript here in New York.” Madelaine sighed. “Too many distractions.”
“Too many cronies to go out drinking with, you mean,” Helen muttered.
If Madelaine agreed with her boss’ sentiments, she was too professional to show it. “We need him to go someplace quiet, someplace with a lot slower pace and fewer diversions so he can buckle down and get the job done.”
The man had reported from deep below the ocean inside a Polaris submarine, while rumbling along in a tank in Iraq, and even while embedded in the Afghan desert with special forces. Surely, he didn’t need a convent to finish his memoir? He already knew the ending, after all.
“Do you need me to research some potential places?” Elle asked.
“No, no, dear girl.” Helen waved a hand. “In fact, Jeremy gave me the most brilliant idea earlier this week when we met for dinner. He was reminiscing wistfully about the wonderful times he spent when you two visited your mother’s inn in North Carolina.”
Elle tried not to bristle. Why would Jeremy be “reminiscing wistfully” about the Tide Me Over Inn? He only visited there twice. Now that she thought about it, both times he found something to complain about—from the inn to Chances Inlet. He’d found the whole town to be “provincial.”
“My mother’s inn? You want Mr. West to go there to finish his book?”
Both women nodded.
“Um, sure. I’m happy to check with her to see what openings she has. Christmas time is usually as popular as the summer months in Chances Inlet, though. I can research some backup inns just in case.”
Please, Mom, don’t let your inn be full.
“No need.” Helen grinned. “I’ve already spoken with your mother. She’s arranged a suite for Everett through the end of the year.”
“Oh.” Elle was surprised her mom hadn’t said something to her. “That’s great. Do you need me to make any other arrangements for him?”
“Everything is all taken care of.” Helen stood. “You’ll both be flying out first thing tomorrow. Everett has less than five weeks to finish his damn book. I’m counting on you, Elinor, to see that he does. If it comes down to it, chain him to a chair. Stand over him twenty-four hours a day. Whatever it takes.” She gave Elle’s shoulder a gentle squeeze as she walked past. “I know you’re up to the task.”
The publisher was out of the room before Elle realized the impact of her words.
“Wait. What?” she whispered. “No, no, no.”

THE GRUMP
Layla Hagen
Release Date: December 6
Available in Kindle Unlimited!
I love my job. So when a grumpy grouch wants to shut us down, I’m ready for the fight of my life.
I was heading for serious career burnout until my dream job came true. Making pralines for a living has been the best thing that’s ever happened to me. So it comes as quite a shock when I find out that the owner wants to shut down the LeBlanc-Broussard confectionery because it’s not profitable.
My hope is that I can win him over. Once he realizes how integral the confectionery is to the city, to the very makeup of New Orleans he’s bound to agree, right?
Wrong.
Xander LeBlanc is a grump, and it’s questionable whether he has a heart at all! Though I’m ashamed to admit I was blindsided by how hot he is — definitely a 10+. Unfortunately, his personality is a zero. All he’s concerned about are profits and not the charitable work the business is known for.
But suddenly, Xander begins to show up at various events we sponsor. When he arrives at the children’s hospital where I hand out treats during the holiday season, I see an entirely new side to him when he starts playing The Grinch for the kids! When he takes me home later that evening things between us escalate. He confesses that he's been attracted to me from day one and let’s just say, the man has hot skills in bed.
But the inevitable closing of the confectionary still weighs heavy on my mind and I don’t know if I can separate the two. Can I love a man who wants to take away the only joy I have in life? But the bigger question is…
