#BookReview: Love and Other Lost Things by Melissa Wiesner

A completely heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, and unforgettable romance, perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover and Paige Toon. When two lost souls are thrown back together, is it far too late to fix their broken hearts?

High school seniors Jane and Nik are inseparable. Best friends who share all their hopes and dreams—and one day, their first stolen kiss. But that day soon becomes the best and worst of Jane’s life…

Because there’s one thing Jane has never been able to share with the truth she carries about a devastating family secret. To protect Nik, Jane is forced to make a heartbreaking choice. Stay in town and risk Nik’s life being destroyed. Or run far, far away and never see him again…

Ten years later. After news reaches Jane of her father’s death, she finally comes home, where bittersweet memories of Nik wait on every quiet street. And when she bumps into him, the years melt away in a single instant.

Nik is broad-shouldered now and stands over six feet tall, but his deep brown eyes are just the same. Jane takes in Nik’s blue scrubs and doctor’s ID badge, happy that at least one of them got to live their dream. And when he breathes her name and caresses the fresh bruise on her cheek—like he can’t help but touch her—her heart speeds up just like the first time they kissed.

But Nik still doesn’t know the real reason she left town. Or who put that bruise on her cheek…

Jane knows the truth would destroy him. So why can’t she stay away from the boy who broke her heart? And when the past comes calling, will it tear them apart forever?

Love and Other Lost Things will shatter your heart, make you sob with joy, and remind you of the beautiful pain of lost love.

#BookReview: Full Speed to a Crash Landing (Chaotic Orbits #1) by Beth Revis

A high octane sexy space heist from New York Times-bestselling author Beth Revis, the first in a novella trilogy.

Ada Lamarr may have gotten to the spaceship wreck first, but looter’s rights won’t get her far when she’s got a hole in the side of her ship and her spacesuit is almost out of air. Fortunately for her, help arrives in the form of a government salvage crew—and while they reluctantly rescue her from certain death, they are not pleased to have an unexpected passenger along on their classified mission.

But Ada doesn’t care—all that matters to her is enjoying their fine food and sweet, sweet oxygen—until Rian White, the government agent in charge, starts to suspect that there’s more to Ada than meets the eye. He’s not wrong—but he’s so pretty that Ada is perfectly happy to keep him paying attention to her—at least until she can complete the job she was sent to pull off. But as quick as Ada is, Rian might be quicker—and she may not be entirely sure who’s manipulating who until it’s too late…

A phenomenally fun novella that kicks off a trilogy of sexy space heists and romantic tension, Full Speed to a Crash Landing is packed with great characters and full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the end.

The Web of Spies

 

Espionage / Thriller

Date Published: 9/17/24

Publisher: FJK-KW Press

 

Former SOE operative Luba Haas and MI6 agent Natalie Jenkins secretly enter Poland in 1948 to meet with a sleeper agent and anti-communist insurgents, not realizing their mission has been compromised by a mole deep inside British intelligence. Hunted by both Soviet and Polish security services, they attempt a harrowing escape, not knowing whom they can trust as they try to outrun their pursuers.

Inspired by the true events of Poland's anti-communist insurgency, the Cambridge Five spy scandal, and a covert British operation to roll back communism to the borders of the USSR, Operation Nightfall: The Web of Spies sheds light on a lesser known story of the Cold War and immerses readers into the shadowy world of spy-versus-spy operations.

#BookReview: Titan (Romancing His Stone #1) by Jillian Graves

Living, breathing gargoyles shouldn’t exist. Julianna should be running for the door. But the way he looks at her… and touches her… awakens new desires.

When former child star Julianna Novak loses everything to her shady managers, she’ll do whatever it takes to win her independence back, even if it means rushing to find a new sugar daddy. When Titan, a wealthy businessman, makes her an offer she can’t refuse, she soon realizes he may not be what he seems. His curved horns, massive wings, and ribbed prehensile tail are, however, more than she ever bargained for.

Leader of the last surviving gargoyles, Titan knows what desperation looks like, and he recognizes it in Julianna. The heavy weight she carries is one he’s able to bear—and one he finds he wants to.

Julianna needs a Daddy, and Titan is ready to be the firm hand—and more—she needs.

When his missing supernatural artifact and her financial troubles unexpectedly align, Titan and Julianna find that a single night together won’t be enough. Confronted by old enemies, the diverging paths they once followed may no longer be the destiny their hearts desire.

#ExcerptReveal for Indiscretion by Vi Keeland @GiveMeBooksPR

Title: Indiscretion

Author: Vi Keeland

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Release Date: January 13, 2025

A new, sexy standalone from #1 New York Times Bestseller, Vi Keeland.

He's her boss. She's his greatest temptation. 

The first time I met Dawson Reed, we wound up in bed. 
The problem was, neither of us knew the other were there. 
When I woke up in the middle of the night and found a stranger next to me, instinct kicked in and I attacked the intruder. 
Only it turned out, the man wasn’t an intruder at all. 
Dawson had rented this cabin, too. Apparently, a system glitch allowed a duplicate booking. 
We’d soon find out we were in town for the same wedding, and Dawson was the groomsman I’d been warned about. He was as tall, dark and jaw-droppingly gorgeous as my best friend had described. Though she was also right when she’d said you two will hate each other. 
When daylight rolled around, Dawson and I attempted to straighten out the mess we found ourselves in. But it proved to be more difficult than we initially thought. Since it was a holiday weekend, there wasn’t a single room available for more than fifty miles. 
I suppose things could be worse than sharing a cabin for a weekend with a handsome man you despise. 
Like maybe him winding up being your new boss?
