Bad Swipe by Elise Faber is available now!

Available Now On All Platforms

Stef blamed the dating app.

She saw his picture—his smile, the rugged line of his jaw, the way the man could fill out a suit, and like an idiot, she fell a bit in love with him.

Idiot because no one ever really looked like their profile pic. Idiot also because if the man did look like his profile pic then he certainly wasn’t going to be into a science geek who binged old Sci-Fi shows on the regular, and whose longest relationship was with her golden retriever named Fred.

But in a night of drunken insanity, she swiped right on the picture she’d been drooling over for months.

Then in a morning of hangover unpleasantness, she saw that he’d swiped right, too.

And suddenly, she found herself on a date with the man of her dreams.

The only question was whether or not he lived up to them.

BLURB:
Welcome to the Atlanta Rising Football Club, where the temperature isn't the only thing turning up the heat...

Felicity Sutherland knows what people think of her. She just doesn't care. Her attitude is her armor, and it hasn't failed her yet. Thick skin and working hard in the male-dominated sports industry placed her dream job within reach. And as she vies to become president of the Atlanta Rising Football Club, there isn't a competitor, or a distractingly handsome co-worker, that can get in her way.

The only games Gunnar Gracin has time for are the ones he coaches on the pitch. But life just keeps bending the ball, especially where the women in his life are concerned. The death of his wife over a decade ago was a devastating loss. Discovering an adult daughter from an encounter he doesn't remember changed all the rules. And working for the frosty, sharp-tongued Felicity is downright infuriating.

But as Gunnar and Felicity spend more time together, the tension between them sizzles like a hot summer night. And the moment Gunnar gets a taste of Felicity's smart mouth, he decides to throw the playbook out the window. If no one knows what they're up to, giving in to temptation doesn't feel so out of bounds. That is, until life gets in the way and the whistle is blown. Will it be a red card for Gunnar and Felicity's secret romance?

Out of Bounds is a standalone enemies-to-lovers, age gap contemporary romance. Enjoy it on its own, or as part of the series, with no cheating and a guaranteed HEA!

 Release Date: June 24

Asher McCoy can win over a sold-out crowd with a husky note and a strum of his guitar, but proving to a judge he’s responsible enough to gain custody of his niece and nephew? Not so easy. His big idea—a fake marriage. And who better to play his doting bride than his longtime best friend? He just needs to get her home first...

Natalie Haven couldn’t get away from her suffocating hometown fast enough. For years, she’s fluttered around the globe as a freelance photographer. And if that unconventional job pisses off her daddy? Well, all the better. But when her best friend sends out an S.O.S., she heads back to the one place she swore she’d never land.

Except a fake marriage means a not-so-fake living arrangement, including only one bed. Nat's witnessed enough women fall for Asher’s charms, but she refuses to be one of them. Because permanence isn’t in her blood. Not even for him.

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
My review:

Small Town Pretender is the fifth book in the Havenbrook series.  It was a new-to-me author, and I was pleasantly surprised by it.  The story was heart-warming and beautifully written.  I really enjoy reading books with a friend to lover troupes and seeing the main character’s relationship slowly change while dealing with their grief was touching.  They were real-life, easy to connect with, and charming.  My heart went out to Asher because he had to deal with his own grief and the sudden responsibility of his niece and nephew.  Natalie “Nat” was a wandering photographer and hated returning to her hometown of Havenbrook.  When Asher called her with news of his sister’s death, she didn’t hesitate to go home for her best friend.  There was such a strong bond between Asher and Nat and they were perfect for each other.  Together they tackled every challenge that came their way and found a life that would fit them. This was a tear-jerker but also inspirational to see them succeed while grieving.  I am so glad I discovered this author and I look forward to reading the previous and future books by the author.

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Meet Brighton Walsh

USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brighton Walsh spent a decade as a professional photographer before taking her storytelling in a different direction and reconnecting with her first love—writing. 

She likes her books how she likes her tea—steamy and satisfying—and adores strong-willed heroines and the protective heroes who fall head over heels for them. 


Brighton lives in the Midwest with her real life hero of a husband, her two kids—one who’s already taller than her and one who’s catching up too fast—and her dog who thinks she’s a queen. Her boy-filled house is the setting for dirty socks galore, frequent dance parties (okay, so it’s mostly her, by herself, while her children look on in horror), and more laughter than she thought possible.

TAKE THE RISK by Gemma Smith
Release Date: June 17th
Conner “CJ” Montgomery I have one goal in life – finally prove my father wrong by becoming the youngest partner in my law firm. I’ve got time for exactly three things: work, work, and more work. I can’t lose, until my boss gives me one final challenge: make the first mentorship program at our Baltimore office a success and the promotion is mine. Returning home brings up too many memories. Too many distractions. Especially when I run into Colette Dubois, the only woman who ever tempted me to make my life about more than work. On the verge of the biggest success of my life, what will it cost me to take one more risk? Colette Dubois I already gave up my dream of performing on Broadway to take care of my ailing mom. When they threaten to turn the lights off in my dying community theater, too, I won’t let anything stop me from saving it. It’s the only thing to bring a little light into the darkest period of my life. I can’t afford to be vulnerable, but that’s exactly what I am the moment CJ Montgomery walks back into my life after ten years of living on the West Coast. We shared a kiss all those years ago. I thought we would have the summer after high school together, but he fled in the middle of the night. Unfortunately my heart doesn’t know when to quit. Not when we spend time together. Not when we share an unexpected kiss. Not when he repeatedly tells me he won’t be here long. Taking a risk isn’t easy for me, but this one could change everything.  

My rating: 3 out of 5 stars
My review:

I received an ARC but purchased my own copy also.  I am voluntarily leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Conner “CJ” Montgomery was determined to become the youngest partner in his law firm.  He had left Baltimore once he graduated and had not returned for ten years.  He was so focused on his work that he had no personal life and he had distanced himself from all his family and friends.  He reluctantly returns to Baltimore for the summer when his boss puts him in charge of the new mentorship project.  Colette Dubois had moved back to Baltimore after discovering her mother had cancer.  After her mother passes away, she loses herself in grief, and working at the community theater held her together.  Now the theater is close to being shut down unless they can get enough donations to keep it open.  Can they have a future together and reach their individual goals?

This was the author’s debut novel and I found it to be a light romance to read.  There were some grammatical errors but not enough to be frustrating.  The characters were interesting but hard to connect with.  I found Collette to be self-centered and annoying with her “the universe would not let her be happy.”  It became a little tedious reading it after every interaction between Collette and CJ.  I found CJ to be pleasant until I reached the end of the book where he and his boss interact.  It was heart-warming to hear CJ’s father apologize for his failure in the past and see them working to improving their relationship.  Seeing CJ’s perspective of Baltimore and his family change was wonderful.  He was able to overcome his demons and find happiness.

They say you can’t go home again…

Tyler “Doobie” Dubois is excited about moving back home to New Orleans after being away for five years. He left with a broken heart, determined to make it through the police academy and become a great cop, while finding his place in the world. Now, he’s ready to come home and regain his place in the family. Unfortunately, not everyone is ready to welcome him back with open arms.

Time heals all wounds…

Alicia loves her life. Ever since she moved to New Orleans from Michigan, she’s been accepted for who she is and is thriving in The Big Easy. She’s open to love, although not actively looking for it, so when her best friend and roommate asks her to steer clear of Doobie romantically, she readily agrees. After all, she’s never even met him.

A chemistry that can’t be denied…

What begins as a friendship quickly turns to something more and they’ll both discover that loving each other is an easy risk.
