Cade

When it comes to women, keeping things casual is my forte. What can I say, I like to live life to its fullest. Then I spot the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen at The Tipsy Lizard, and I know I need to get to know her. Like a moth to a flame, I’m drawn. The only issue is, she’s dating someone else.

So, the only choice I have is to give Oaklee my number and tell her to use it when she’s single.

To my surprise, that phone call came sooner than I expected. She’s just getting out of a relationship and isn’t looking for anything serious, which is right up my alley. Spending time with her isn’t a hardship, and sending little gifts to her office to say hello is a lot more fun than I would have imagined.

The problem is, I’m not sure I can keep her safely in the friend zone much longer.

Oaklee

Relocating to a small town was exactly what I needed. However, from the moment I arrived in Cooper Town, everything seemed to snowball. The jerk I was dating decided to cheat, leaving me in a new place with a new job and a support system of one to lean on.

Meeting Cade at a bar turned out to be more than just a casual happenstance.

Being around him is easy. He’s gorgeous, charismatic, fun, and always sends me little things to let me know he’s thinking of me. When I have to start working beside my ex, Cade kicks it into overdrive, showing me exactly how easy it could be to fall for a guy like him. Too bad he’s not looking for forever. Cade only wants right now.

Suddenly, my easiest hello might be my hardest goodbye.

#BookBlitz: Ubroken Life Outside the Lines by @UnbrokenCaldwell @RABTBookTours

 

Trauma Memoir

Date Published: February 10, 2026

Publisher: Unbroken

“Unbroken: Life Outside the Lines” plunges you into Adriene Caldwell’s childhood—a world of grinding poverty, mental illness, and violence—then lifts you back out on a fierce up‑draft of resilience. Page after page, she peels back the polite veneer of society to reveal the systemic betrayals that let children like her slip through every safety net, yet she never relinquishes the fragile ember of hope that keeps her alive. Her voice is unflinchingly honest—at turns raw, lyrical, and darkly humorous—as she chronicles the horrors she endured and the instinct that urged her to fight for her little brother, and for herself, when no one else would. By the final chapter, you will understand why she can say, without irony, “We are not defined by our damage… We are Unbroken,” and you will close the book convinced that survival, in her hands, is its own quietly triumphant art form.

 

#BookReview: Quicksilver (Fae & Alchemy, #1) by @calliehartauthor

Synopsis: This #1 New York Times bestseller is a highly addicting enemies-to-lovers Romantasy with razor-sharp banter, heart-stopping action, and blistering hot romance.

Do not touch the sword. Do not turn the key. Do not open the gate.

Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses, or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen’s reservoirs for as long as she can remember. In the land of the unforgiving desert, there isn’t much a girl wouldn’t do for a glass of water. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone.

When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares…but it turns out they’re real, and Saeris has landed right in the middle of a centuries-long conflict that might just get her killed.

The first of her kind to tread the frozen mountains of Yvelia in over a thousand years, Saeris mistakenly binds herself to Kingfisher, a handsome Fae warrior, who has secrets and nefarious agendas of his own. He will use her Alchemist’s magic to protect his people, no matter what it costs him… or her. Death has a name. It is Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate. His past is murky. His attitude stinks. And he’s the only way Saeris is going to make it home.

Be careful of the deals you make, dear child. The devil is in the details... Now with an embossed cover, silver foiling, and an updated interior design. 

N.B. Quicksilver contains depictions of graphic violence/adult situations and is therefore recommended for readers 17+. For a full list of tropes and TWs, please visit the author's website.

#ReleaseBlitz for Chasing Red by @maggiecoleauthor #GiveMeBooksPR

Title: Chasing Red

Duet: Beautiful Delusions #2

Author: Maggie Cole

Genre: Psychological Romance

Tropes: Stalker/Therapist, Morally Grey Romance

Release Date: April 8, 2026

BLURB

From International bestselling author Maggie Cole comes the next descent into a morally gray psychological romance, where love is a liability, distance is survival, and obsession refuses to be left behind.

I fell in love with Blue Ivanov long before I admitted it.

That’s the part no one was supposed to know.

Not her family or the men who would destroy me if they ever realized how deeply she owns me.

Walking away was the only way to keep her safe.

So I built distance and told myself I could be starved into silence.

I was wrong.

Blue doesn’t chase blindly. She calculates.

I say danger.

She hears devotion.

I say stay away.

She tracks my weakness and hunts me anyway.

Her father would call me a liability, a mistake that needs to be handled.

But Blue doesn’t want protection.

She wants a love that burns, consumes, and leaves you delirious for more.

No matter how far I run, Blue isn’t chasing me to win.

She’s chasing me to make sure I finally stop pretending I don’t want to be caught.

Chasing Red is book two of the Beautiful Delusions Duet. Best if read after Resisting Blue. See Author's Note inside the book for trigger warnings.

#AudioBookReview: City of Iron and Ivy by Thomas Kent West

Synopsis: This beguiling historical romantasy debut blends dark academia with the glamour of Bridgerton, as a scholar of magic investigates her sister’s murder—perfect for fans of Heather Fawcett and H. G. Parry. 

In an alternate London alive with botanical magic, Elswyth Elderwood is a thorn among a bristly, scarred scholar in a world of socialites. Her sister Persephone is the a graceful debutante seeking a marriage that will save their family from ruin. At least, until Persephone is murdered. 

Suddenly the last scion of her house, Elswyth must abandon her studies and find a wealthy husband. She is thrust into a London fueled by hedge witches sprout nightshade from their fingertips, high-born ladies weave gowns from wildflowers … and a serial killer called the Reaper transforms his victims into plant-human hybrids. 

When clues suggest the Reaper is a powerful nobleman, Elswyth’s search for her sister’s killer and her hunt for a husband become one and the same. But she is drawn to bastard-born archaeologist Silas Blackthorn—who may have dark, twisted secrets of his own. 

Elswyth must determine friend from foe and lover from liar—or suffer the same fate as her sister.

Viviana Bertinelli

I’ve always followed the rules.

Good girls don’t sneak away for one reckless night with a dangerous stranger.

No names.

No promises.

Just passion.

It was supposed to be a secret – until fate brought him back into my life.

I’m promised to another man, but the stranger from that night refuses to let me go.

He says I belong to him.

He swears he’ll burn the world before he loses me.

But our love was built on a lie.

He fooled me once.

He won’t do it again.

Tristan Kinkaid

Control made me the American king of the Irish mob.

Then she shattered it with a single night.

She’s too pure for my world.

Too innocent for a man like me.

But that didn’t stop me from wanting her.

From claiming her.

She believes she’s promised to another man.

She just doesn’t know that man is me.

There are secrets between us.

Betrayals that could start a war.

She thinks we’re over.

She’s wrong.

I didn’t rise to power by letting anything – or anyone – slip through my fingers.

And I’m not losing her.

#AudioBookReview: A Trial of Fate (Valdor #1) by J.E. Larson

Synopsis: One night can change your life. One decision can change...everything.

Our world is dying.

Every century, the High Fae venture past the magical veil in search of a shifter to compete as the champion in the trials of their Inner Kingdom. Only a shifter who completes the trials can unlock the healing powers of The Heart of Valdor, a magical stone that has the power to save our world. For five hundred years, no shifter has been victorious or returned alive. The dark magic of the wilt is steadily growing, devouring our world piece by piece with each passing day. The fate of all fae, shifters, and humans is at stake.

And somehow... this task has fallen to me.

Skylar Cathal is a twenty-two-year-old half-human, half-shifter with a curious mind and knack for bending the rules. Gilen Warrick, Skylar’s childhood friend and the next Alpha of the Solace pack, wants more than just her friendship– but fate has a will of its own.

When Skylar is marked as the shifter champion, she must overcome her darkest fears to leave her home and those she loves behind. Daxton Aegaeon, High Fae Prince of Silver Meadows, has sworn to protect Skylar as his ward, but only she can protect her heart.

A Trial of Fate is the first book in the Valdor Series, an epic romantic fantasy that follows a "spitfire" heroine who defies her darkest fears in order to save those she loves. This book will appeal to fans of character-driven adventurous romantasy tails such as Throne of Glass, Blood and Ash, and A Ruin of Roses.
