Laura Pavlov Before the Sunset: A Small Town, Friends to Lovers Romance (Cottonwood Cove Series) Book 4 of 5 Cottonwood Cove Series

 

He’s an actor in need of an image makeover. She’s determined to show her ex-fiancé that she’s moved on. A fake relationship between two best friends is the perfect solution. Or is it?

Reese Murphy has been my best friend since before we took our first steps.

She’s the yin to my yang.

The peanut butter to my jelly.

It’s all platonic, of course, as we made a pact years ago that we’d never cross the line.

But then she took a job abroad and moved away for a year.

To say I’ve been lost without her would be a massive understatement.

She’s finally coming home, and I couldn’t be happier about it.

And then she presents me with a proposition...

Pretend to be her boyfriend.

I am an actor, after all, so it should be a piece of cake.

It’s all part of her grand plan to show her ex-fiancé that she’s moved on.

My agent wants me to clean up my image, so it would be a win-win for both of us.

But then she moves into my house and prances around in those tiny pajama shorts.

There's also the night she catches me alone in the bathroom in a compromising position.

And she isn’t in any hurry to leave.

We get lost in the moment and now I can’t think of anything else.

We are way past a gray area at this point.

We’ve entered a smoking-hot-I-think-I-might-be-in-love-with-my-best-friend area.

The problem is, she still thinks we’re fake dating.

And I stopped faking it a long time ago.

Martina Dale THE VENUE Book 2 of 3: The Blackmoore Brothers

 

THE VENUE

This is the 2nd book in The Blackmoore Brothers Series. Kane Blackmoore is an independent Billionaire with his main passion... Music. He's not arrogant or a bad boy... or is he?

She was the hottest woman I'd ever set eyes on. Something had told me she was special and to keep hold of her, at least for a few nights. But I listened to my brother and gave her a fake name. With my wealth, I was used to women wanting me for my black card, and I was sick of it, so I took his advice. Only it backfired. She also gave me a false name and disappeared before the sun came up, and as I know nothing about her, finding her again is impossible.

Until our paths cross, and we are in the same place at the same time. It’s been months, but she’s never left my memory. I’ve just got to convince her to stay.

First impressions can be deceiving as we will find out in this latest book of The Blackmoore Brothers

Penelope Black Moonlit Temptation: A Single Dad Nanny Romance (Rosewood Book 1)

 

They say everything happens in threes.
Good luck and misfortune.
I got fired, inherited my late-grandmother's house, and moved across the country all in a weekend.
I thought I would get a reprieve, eager and excited to spend my summer with my cousin.

But no one warned me the rule of three could apply to men.
The charming playboy. 
The enigmatic stranger. 
The grumpy single dad.

Known collectively as the St. James men. And the most coveted bachelors in all of Rosewood. They run the Rosewood Reapers, an allegedly reformed motorcycle club. I find myself irresistibly drawn to all three of them in a way I can't ignore.
So I don't.

The only problem is, there are more secrets than people in this town. And I fear there's one that could shake our very foundation.

Bethany Monaco Smith Part of: Ida Heartthrobs (1 books)

 

Dani Malone has gotten under my skin.

When the whirlwind with ice purple hair and a don’t-look-in-my-direction attitude sits down next to me at the bar, it's game over for my heart.

I've known Dani for years, but we've never truly known each other.

Fresh off broken hearts, I'm ready to find my forever love, but Dani is guarded. The sunshiney girl I remember is grumpy and closed-off, and she has zero interest in the player she remembers me as.

I'm not that guy anymore, and even if I was, Dani is not a game. She's more. She's what I want, and I can tell she wants me, too, even if I'm stuck at the top of her hell no list.

What she doesn't understand is I'm no quitter. It’s now my mission to find out who hurt her, fix what they broke, bring out her smile again, and protect her heart.

Nothing worth having is easy, and Dani is worth everything. So I'm going to be patient, put in the work, and keep fighting for the forever I want. With her.

The Forever Fight is a standalone frenemies to lovers, new adult, small-town romance featuring swoony moments, snarky banter, and steamy scenes.

Falling Again Libby Kay A Buckeye Falls Novel Book 3 of 4: Buckeye Falls

 

Welcome back to Buckeye Falls, Ohio!

Does this small town mayor have the political savvy to negotiate his way back into his wife’s heart?

From the outside, Mayor Anthony Snyder and his wife Natalie have it all. Adorable children, a lovely home, and a never-ending supply of free food from the local diner. But behind closed doors, this duo struggles to stay connected. The sparkle they show Buckeye Falls has turned a little dull on the home front.

Over the last decade, things became hectic in the Snyder household. Anthony was elected to office, following in his father’s footsteps. Unfortunately, he’s reminded regularly that these are big shoes to fill. Being the best mayor takes a lot of time—time he’s not spending with his family.

Natalie prides herself on being everything to everyone, but the job of a wife hasn’t been smooth sailing. Wrapped up in her own growing business and their kids’ activities, her time with Anthony has dwindled faster than her secret stash of Halloween candy. Natalie longs for quality time with the man she loves, but it never seems to be in the cards.

A chance to visit their family lake house promises a week away from it all, but can these two reconnect when there’s no distractions? Or is it time for these high achievers to admit that love might be the one thing they can’t master?

With a little help from the residents of Buckeye Falls, this power couple will find their way back to happily ever after.

Falling Again is the third book in the Buckeye Falls series, but it can be enjoyed as a standalone read.

My Review minus Spoilers 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read by Me!!

On to book three in this Wonderful series. I’m enjoying a Buckeye Falls very much. These books can be read as a standalone. I love the Small Town feel as the reader. I have to say so far as I’ve been enjoying this series, I’ve really loved these two characters in book three which are Natalie & Anthony. This particular story in the series by far for me, had all the feels. I laughed, I teared up quite a bit, and I did not want their story to end. I also enjoyed the other characters that passed through Buckeye Falls as well. This was also a great second chance romance story. I’ve enjoyed Buckeye Falls so much. I cannot wait for book number four. The author is becoming a favorite of mine. I definitely as the reader, I was on a roller coaster of emotions, which, for me, as a reader, takes me all the adventure of the book. Anthony and Natalie, will definitely stay with me for a while.
