Release Date: August 27

One of Nashville’s fastest rising stars, Kyle Keenan has it all—fame, fans, and a chance at fortune. But the dream he’s busted his tail for means nothing without the woman who holds his heart. With her sassy smile and pull-no-punches attitude, Abbey is his greatest love—and his greatest regret. When he’s confronted in a live TV interview about alleged involvement with a country music starlet, Kyle blurts out he’s already engaged…to Abbey.

Abbey Whittaker has come a long way from the starry-eyed six-year-old who made a marriage pact with her best friend. With a thriving business, a loving family, and a tight-knit group of friends, she’s put away childish things. She long ago banished Kyle from her life, so the last thing she expects is him walking through her door or the blistering kiss that follows.

Kyle is desperate to convince Abbey that a fake engagement is the best way to get the media off her back—and his. And it just might give him a chance to fix what he destroyed. Even as these two frenemies remember all the reasons they wanted to be lovers, another blast from Kyle’s past returns, threatening to expose the secret he’s spent his entire career hiding. 

When truths come to light, will love conquer all or will Kyle lose everything?

Genre: Contemporary Romance

About The Inn At Summer Island

Millie Leclair is a mess, complete with a dead-end career and a flat-lining love life. So when she inherits her great aunt’s oceanfront B&B in a resort town in South Carolina’s Lowcountry, she doesn’t hesitate to pack up her car and set off on a new adventure. It’ll be fun.   Of course, life seldom goes according to plan. The B&B is barely habitable for one person, let alone ready to open for business. With dwindling funds, Millie has no choice but to roll up her sleeves and tackle the repairs by herself. Yeah, so much fun.   Ex-pro golfer Braxton Channing thought being a full-time single parent kept him on his toes. That was before he spotted his new neighbor teetering on her rooftop—which is only the beginning of her long list of renovations for the old house—and he added keeping her safe to his to-do list.   But Millie is determined to dive headfirst into repairs regardless of the risk, and suddenly, battling with his daughter over brushing her teeth seems easier than winning an argument with Millie. She’s exasperating. And oddly delightful. And most definitely shouldn’t be let anywhere near a tall ladder.   For a guy who’s sworn off romantic relationships, why does he suddenly want to be the one who gets the privilege of watching Millie conquer not just the B&B but his heart as well?

My Review:

“Nothing is impossible.  There are simply some tasks

that require more effort than others”

 

Millie Leclair was excited to move to South Carolina when she inherited the oceanfront Bed and Bath from her Great-Aunt Mildred.  She remembers all the fun times she had with her great-aunt and her father when they use to visit every summer.  She was taken back by the condition of her new home, but she wasn’t going to let it keep her from her dreams.  She was committed to restoring and reopening Seascape Inn.  Her next-door neighbor, Braxton Channing, was president of the HOA which was against her reopening the B&B.  Braxton admired her tenacity and her passion for life.  She brought light back into his life and gave him hope.

This was a beautiful story and I loved how Mildred’s life impacted so many people in the small community of Summer Island.  Her words of wisdom inspired a lot of her friends and neighbors.  This was a new-to-me author, and I am so glad I had a chance to discover her work. It was a story of regret, guilt, and hope that will surely touch your heart.  The characters were charming, and the story was well written.  I enjoyed reading it and would read it again.

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

Exclusive Excerpt:

“She’s a bit of a mess right now, but the plan is to restore her to her former glory,” she said, adding mildew check to the ever-growing fix-it list. “I guess we won’t be taking guests yet, but before the summer is over, she’ll be the thriving inn she once was.” “Inn?” Millie turned to him. “Yeah. I’ll probably run it more like a bed and breakfast than an inn. My aunt never really liked the B&B title because she—” “You’re not selling?” Braxton cut her off, his eyebrows knitted together. “Selling?” The question caught her off guard. “Of course I’m not selling Seascape. Why would I want to sell something that’s been in my family for generations?” “You live in Chicago, so I guess we all assumed…” He let his voice trail off. “I used to live in Chicago.” She tried to sound patient, but why was she having to explain herself to this man? “Now I live here at 121 East Shore Drive where I’ll be running Seascape Inn.” She didn’t want to be rude to her new neighbor on her first day in the neighborhood, but she couldn’t help the hint of bite behind the words. “Huh.” Braxton said as he looked past her, his eyes sweeping across the front of the house. “You realize you can’t turn this property into any sort of hotel, right? Using it for commercial business is against Oceanside Estates HOA regulations.” Her new neighbor might have once been known as America’s most charming bachelor, but he was starting to get on her nerves. “I’m not turning it into a hotel. It is a hotel. Since it was built in the fifties, Seascape Inn has been a commercial business. This isn’t something new.” “Perhaps in the past. But it’s been vacant for a while.” His gaze returned to her, no longer sparkling and friendly. “I can tell you with good authority that the current HOA rules are very clear. No businesses. Especially hotels.” “How can you make a rule prohibiting something that is already here?” She’d quit her whole life in Chicago and moved here to start over, to have the sort of life she dreamed about as a kid when she spent her summers here with her aunt. Reviving Seascape and running the inn wasn’t just going to be her livelihood, it was a chance to keep her family’s legacy alive. Sensing her growing frustration, Bear abandoned his spot next to their new neighbor and sat next to Millie, his ears perked on full alert. Braxton offered another polite smile. She was growing to hate them. “I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the rules were designed to benefit everyone in the community.” Millie crossed her arms in front of her chest, defiance swelling insider her. “Well, I’m part of the community now, and I’m meeting with my lawyer later today. We’ll see what he has to say about this.” It sounded a bit like ‘I’m telling my mom on you,’ but it was the best she could come up with after all the surprises she’d dealt with today. “I always find a lawyer’s opinion helpful.” There was a bit of snark in his voice that only made the fire in her belly burn brighter. “And if you need any further clarification or want to file a complaint, you’re always welcome to attend one of the HOA general meetings.” Braxton backed down the steps to where his slick, new sports car sat on the crumbling and cracked driveway. He had gone from handsome celebrity to uptight know-it-all faster than that car went from zero to sixty. “Great,” Millie called out after him. “I’ll be there.” He hesitated as he opened the door. “Then I’ll see you there.” He offered her one of his Braxton Channing famous grins, just as empty as his polite smiles. “And since you’re moving in, I guess I should say welcome to the neighborhood.” He slid into the driver’s seat and the engine purred to life. She stood there with her arms crossed in front of her chest and glared until his car pulled down and through the rusted gate to turn onto the street. “I’m glad we didn’t ask him for a picture,” she said to Bear. “It would’ve ruined our Instagram feed. And if I need a cup of sugar, I am not going to ask him for it.” Bear’s tail wagged in what she assumed was agreement.  

About the Author:

Rachel wrote her first novel when she was twelve and entered it into a contest for young author/illustrators. Unfortunately, the judges weren’t impressed with her stick figures. So she dropped the dream of becoming a world famous illustrator and stuck to spinning stories. When she’s not busy working on her latest book, she loves to travel with her family and friends. By far, her favorite destination is the beach, which tends to work its way into most of her stories. Between vacations, you can find her at home in The Woodlands, TX with her wonderful husband, their two adventurous kids and a couple of spirited pets, all of whom share Rachel’s love of the ocean. Well, except the cat and dog. They’re both afraid of water. Find out more about what Rachel has been up to at rachelmageebooks.com.

Boldly by Elise Faber releases on August 31st!

Available on all platforms

One second, he had everything.
The next, it was torn away.

Oliver James was at the peak of his career, captain of the Baltimore Breakers, minutes away from winning another Cup. Then one hit had derailed all that.

All he’d ever known was hockey, and he didn’t know where he fit in a world where playing was no longer a possibility. But then he was offered a chance to bring hockey back into his life. A shot at starting over.

The only condition of that second chance was required meetings with the team psychologist, Hazel.

She was exactly the kind of woman he might have once lusted after—beautiful, kind, a body that screamed sex. She made him feel whole, like a man again.

Except, she wasn’t interested in him outside of being a patient.

Well then, Oliver would just have to convince her otherwise.

About the Author:

USA Today bestselling author, Elise Faber, loves chocolate, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and hockey (the order depending on the day and how well her team—the Sharks!—are playing). She and her husband also play as much hockey as they can squeeze into their schedules, so much so that their typical date night is spent on the ice. Elise changes her hair color more often than some people change their socks, loves sparkly things, and is the mom to two exuberant boys.

🗞 💜 HOT NEW RELEASE! 🗞 💜

THE NEWSPAPER NANNY by Maren Moore is LIVE!

#1ClickHere

bit.ly/newspapernanny

When I stumbled across my dream job in the classified section of my newspaper, I knew it had to be too good to be true. Turns out it was. Becoming the nanny for the grumpiest hockey coach in the NHL was more like a nightmare. Liam Cartright was infuriating, stubborn, and impossible. Oh, and he happened to be my new boss. I should have signed my resignation with a giant kiss my ass the moment he opened his mouth, but I couldn’t. I fell for his little girls before I realized it was happening, and my resolve began to weaken. Our roles were clearly drawn out. He was the boss, and I was the nanny. But then we crossed a line. I wouldn’t lose my job over a chiseled jawline and a few stolen kisses. I couldn’t. Not when so much was at stake. But Liam was the one who made the rule book, and I had no choice but to play by his rules.

I broke the cardinal rule and slept with my sister’s best friend.

 

Granted, I’d just found out that I was now a single father to a three-year-old little girl and was low on willpower.

 

It should also be noted that there’s been sexual tension between us for years. There’s no way it would be a surprise if anyone in our small town found out. That is if we were telling people, which we’re not.

 

We’re in agreement to keep our affair a secret, especially since neither one of us do relationships. 

 

You’ve probably figured it out already, but things didn’t go as planned.

Lost and Found Faith

 

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for Lost and Found Faith by Laurel Blount, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

ABOUT THE BOOK

Title: Lost and Found Faith
Author: Laurel Blount
Publisher: Love Inspired
Release Date: August 24, 2021
Genre: Christian, Contemporary Romance 

A terrible tragedy nearly broke him. Can love put him back together again? 

Widowed history teacher Neil Hamilton has lost his way—at work, with people and even with his faith. But Neil's shut-down existence is disrupted when a small toddler and his would-be foster mother, vibrantly pretty Maggie Byrne, come crashing into Neil's yard and his life. Can this absentminded teacher find himself again…and take a chance on love, too? 

From Love Inspired: Uplifting stories of faith, forgiveness and hope. 

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

My review:

Lost and Found Faith is a beautiful and heart-warming story of having faith and finding it again. It was a short book, but the author was able to develop the characters and storyline without it feeling rushed. It was beautifully written and inspiring.

“God’s love for us lights up our lives. Sometimes we forget about Him…but that doesn’t change God. He still loves us the same.”

Neil Hamilton was a history teacher who moved to Cedar Ridge, Georgia after his wife was killed in a car accident. He was devastated by her death and upset with God for allowing it to happen. He escaped the painful memories by working all the time except he was just going through the motions of teaching. He no longer tried to connect or engage with his classes. Can Maggie’s faith and enthusiasm for life help him find his faith again?

Maggie Byrne had a rough childhood and ended up in Cedar Ridge when she was placed with Ruby as a twelve-year-old foster child. Maggie is trying to adopt Oliver, but she is having a hard time connecting with him. He takes to Neil right away which pains Maggie, because if she fails to connect with Oliver soon, he will have to go to a group home.

This was truly a wonderful story of hope and faith. Maggie had such a kind-hearted spirit. She went to so much effort to help others and was such a positive influence on the kids. She was truly upset by Oliver’s resistance to her, but she kept on trying. Neil found himself wanting to help Maggie and experiencing emotions he hadn’t felt in years. He feared letting people close again but Maggie had a way of getting through to people. I loved watching Oliver and Maggie bonding and could not keep from smiling when he finally called her Mama. I would highly recommend this book and look forward to future books from the small town of Cedar Ridge.

Katie Reus is taking you back to the bestselling Red Stone Security Series! SAVING DANGER is available now!

About SAVING DANGER:

To maintain her cover and keep her family off her back, they fake a relationship. Having spent her whole life trying to prove she’s just as capable as her three older brothers, art retrieval expert Ivy Danger has landed the biggest gig of her career, one that will pay off the mortgage of the animal shelter she owns. That is, if she doesn’t die before finishing the job. Even if she locates the stolen art, the violent gang of thieves won’t give up their million-dollar payday without a fight. She has one person she can turn to for help—Nash Harris. Security expert, her brother’s best friend…and the gorgeous man of her fantasies who treats her like a kid sister. Not that she’d do anything about her attraction anyway—not when it would screw up her family dynamic if things went sideways between them. Now it’s impossible to tell what’s real and what’s not. Despite having known Ivy forever, “brotherly” is the last thing Nash feels for the sexy troublemaker. She’s it for him. The One. He’s known it for a while…but convincing Ivy is another matter. When they have to fake a relationship for her current job, things shift between them. They’ve worked together before, but she’s in over her head with this latest job. But before anything can come of it, he’ll have to keep her alive when she’s targeted by a dangerous group known for violent retaliation. Nash will do whatever it takes to keep her safe, to prove she can trust him—on the job, with her life, and with her heart.

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

My review:

Saving Danger is the seventeenth book in the Red Stone Security series.  What I really like about this series is you can pick up any book and be able to follow along without feeling like you are missing something.   This was Ivy and Nash’s story, and it caught my attention from the beginning.  It was packed full of action, mystery, and a formidable heroine.  Nash and Ivy made a great couple and worked so well together.  I liked how Nash stood up for her with her family and supported her job even though he was scared for her to continue.  Ivy was fearless but still able to acknowledge she needed help on this last case.  I was so glad to finally see them communicating with each other regarding their feelings.  I was cheering them on the entire book.  This was another hit for the author, and I can’t wait to see future books in the series.

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

Excerpt

Using the back stairs, she headed toward one of the rear doors and made her way out into the sunlight. She had a couple more stops to make but… She pulled her phone out as she headed toward the nearby sidewalk. There was one person she wanted to call even though she knew she shouldn’t. Nash Harris. One of her brother’s best friends, the man who starred in all of her fantasies, and hell, was one of her best friends, if she was being honest. She might not be telling her family that she was in town, but she would tell him. It would feel wrong not to. And if she was being honest, she wanted to see him. Craved it, even. Not that she didn’t have the sharp planes of his face memorized or dream about how kissable his lips looked—or fantasize about running her fingers through his dark brown hair. The man always kept it so short and it looked so damn soft. Aaaand she was getting off track. Maybe she’d just have one dinner with him. Get a glimpse of his fine ass and get her fix until the next time they got to meet up. It wasn’t enough but it would have to do for now.
