#BookReview: The Bone Spindle (The Bone Spindle #1) by Leslie Vedder



Sleeping Beauty meets Indiana Jones in this thrilling fairytale retelling for fans of Sorcery of Thorns and All the Stars and Teeth.

Fi is a bookish treasure hunter with a knack for ruins and riddles, who definitely doesn't believe in true love.

Shane is a tough-as-dirt girl warrior from the north who likes cracking skulls, pretty girls, and doing things her own way.

Briar Rose is a prince under a sleeping curse, who's been waiting a hundred years for the kiss that will wake him.

Cursed princes are nothing but ancient history to Fi--until she pricks her finger on a bone spindle while exploring a long-lost ruin. Now she's stuck with the spirit of Briar Rose until she and Shane can break the century-old curse on his kingdom.

Dark magic, Witch Hunters, and bad exes all stand in her way--not to mention a mysterious witch who might wind up stealing Shane's heart, along with whatever else she's after. But nothing scares Fi more than the possibility of falling in love with Briar Rose.

Set in a lush world inspired by beloved fairytales, The Bone Spindle is a fast-paced young adult fantasy full of adventure, romance, found family, and snark.

A chance meeting in a quiet corner of a bar leaves me furious, doubting my life choices. Who does he think he is anyway? Just because Cam North is a tall, smoking hot hockey god doesn't mean he can talk to me like that.

I'm done being a doormat for anyone. He was burned before? That's not my problem.

What he doesn't know is who I actually am and why I'm about to make his life a whole lot more complicated.

I have one goal—make the Lowball Bay Seadragons ice hockey team as good as I know they can be. To do that, I need to keep a safe distance between me and the players. I can't lose my perspective.

I sure as hell can't lose my heart.

Bullseye:
When my aunt is sick and asks me to house-sit, I don’t hesitate to agree.
I haven’t been to her neighborhood in years, and it’s nothing like I remember.
Bored, I invite my club over, but I don’t count on the sexy, flustered woman next door showing up and demanding I turn down the music.
It’s not until she sees my leather vest and the patches I wear that her eyes widen, and she panics.
I’ve scared her, and I don’t know why.
I make it my mission to find out and unintentionally spark a silent war.
The harder I push her to confront me, the angrier she becomes.
We’ve become near enemies within days of meeting, but I won’t stop until I win.
I want to learn more about my sexy, beautiful, stubborn neighbor.
But I don’t count on a brief confrontation in Xiara’s past to cause such havoc.
This little game just got a whole lot deadlier.
I’ve got to decide if I want to protect her, cuff her to my bed, or lock her up so no one can harm her.
I’m damn sure all three intrigue me.
And that’s not good because I’ll kill anyone who tries to get in my way.
I’ve become the only thing preventing Xiara from becoming a victim.
Again.
It’s not just her I have to think about now.
The danger hasn’t come for only Xiara; it’s after my club.
As an enforcer, it’s my job to eliminate every threat.
I won’t hesitate to break every law to keep them all safe.


My Inked Neighbor is part of the Summit Hill Vipers, an exciting new contemporary biker series. It's an enemies-to-lovers, overprotective alpha male, MC romance novel. This is also part of the Motorcycles, Mobsters, and Mayhem author event and The Mayhem Makers Series.

#CoverReveal: My Grape Crush by Rowan Rossler @XpressoTours

My Grape Crush
Rowan Rossler
Publication date: March 23rd 2025
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Every woman with a pulse knows who Rhys Trenton is. Influencer sensation. Global icon. A serious piece of man candy living the celebrity dream in his palazzo on Corfu. In no legitimate universe should the golden path of my social media crush ever cross with mine.

Except it does.

I’m Dani Rialto—jobless and vulnerable after a failed workplace romance shattered my confidence. When a prestigious winery offers me a dream marketing gig, there’s just one tiny problem. The new spokesperson for their rosΓ© is none other than the free-spirited Rhys. And he lands in my sleepy wine town for five weeks to do whatever this buttoned-up career girl says.

Listen, I can play it cool. But after an embarrassing start to our working relationship, it turns out more than grapes can thrive in the heat. As a surprisingly complex Rhys melts my inhibitions, his fame sparks unexpected chaos, forcing us both to challenge our guarded hearts, that, like the finest vintages, can only breathe when we open them up.
