When two worlds crossover. From the This Is Series and The Southern Series.

Things are supposed to go smoothly on your wedding day.
Aren't they?

Sofia Barnes
I’ve always loved to play dress-up.
Creating fake weddings was my childhood pastime.
Now it is my dream come true.

I’ve finally been handed my first client.
But nothing could prepare me for who greeted me when I walked in.

He was my first kiss, my first everything, including my first and only heartbreak.
Now I have to plan his wedding.

Matthew Petrov
My family is filled with hockey royalty.
From my grandfather to my uncle to my father.
Now it is my turn to work my way up the leaderboard.
I had everything that I’ve ever wanted in my life.
Or so I thought.
Nothing could prepare me for coming face-to-face with Sofia.
I knew her inside and out.
She knew my inner secrets.
Two years ago, I let her go, and now she’s planning my wedding to someone else.
They say time heals old wounds. They lied.
Maybe she was just mine to take.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Meet Natasha Madison:

When her nose isn’t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she’s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It’s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn’t listen to her…

 This is Sofia Barnes and Matty/Matthew Petrov's love story and it takes us back to the Southern Wedding Series and Sofia's 1st day on the job.

This is the melding of the author's hockey series and Southern Series. From the author's Southern Series, we meet Sofia who is the daughter of Hazel and Reed Barnes, and Reed is the son of Casey and Olivia Barnes.  Matty is the son of Zoe Stone and Viktor Petrov, Zoe is related to the Something So Hockey Series because her parents are Cooper and Parker Stone. 

Matty and Sofia were in love once, but Matty broke her heart some two years before. Now he shows up engaged and his fiancĂ©e, Helena, wants Sofia to plan the whole thing. Talk about worst 1st day of work ever.

This was an awesome second chance at love for Matty and Sofia. I loved how Sofia dealt with her ex coming back into her life and how she tortured him. Matty was a bit on the weak side, which is something I have not seen before from this author in her characters. He was very young and stupid but, in this story, we see him finally grow up and become the man he should have been. 

We also get lots of family time with his whole family and her whole family and it was awesome. I loved how Matt's family tells him how he has to show her that he is all grown up now and I adored how they all fear Casey. Seriously this was such a fun book. I totally adored it. 


Irresistibly Wild by J. Saman (Callan and Layla)

ABOUT THE BOOK

Layla Fritz. Young. Beautiful. Wild. And now my med student.



I slept with someone I shouldn’t have.


One moment I was saving her from the clingy jerk at the bar, and the next I was making her an offer.


No strings, no last names, just a wild night neither of us would forget.


Until she walked into my classroom Monday morning. As my med student.


Which officially makes her off-limits.


For a while, we manage to keep things professional, especially when my life takes a tragic turn, and I become a single dad to my niece. But when everything starts to fall apart, I ask her for an irresistibly wild favor—


Only Layla isn’t just any other woman, and before long it becomes impossible to keep my hands to myself—they’re in her hair, on her body, and making her cry out for more.


What started off as a friendly arrangement quickly goes up in a ball of hot, sweaty flames.


I’m risking it all to win her heart. But what if I’m after something she isn’t ready to give?

This is book 3 in a series but easily stands alone. It also takes place in the author's previous book series and has strong connections to the characters in Boston Billionaire Bachelor series and the Fritz Family. Most especially Oliver and Amelia's story (Doctor Scandalous). The main female character is Layla who is Amelia's much younger sister and was adopted by Oliver Fritz about 9 years before. 

This book series is about characters that were in this rock group whose main singer ended up dying very young. The band then disbanded and they all went off and followed different paths. This story is about Callan, who ended up becoming a doctor and, in this book, he is paired up with a student doctor, Layla Fritz, who is 23 to his 31. Callan is connected to the Fritz family as he is friends with Oliver and works at the same hospital that the Fritz family work at as well.

This was a really wonderful story with an awesome set of characters. It has tons of tropes but never gets too bogged down with the tropes. In fact, some of the tropes really are not a big deal in this story. 

It's got an age gap as she is 23 to his 31.
Callan is not just a fellow doctor who works with Layla, but he also ends up being her professor when a previous professor ends up dead. There is also an adorable kid in this story and Callan ends up being a dad to her. There is also a fake relationship trope as well as a forbidden one. And there is an ex of Layla's who tries to start trouble.

NOW ON SALE! ONE KISS - Riverbend Lighter One - by Aleatha Romig (Justin and Devan)

 
    

 FREE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

ABOUT THE BOOK

A small town, best friend's sister, age-gap, grumpy, sunshine, contemporary standalone

Confirmed bachelor—that’s what I’ve become.

Life is safe and predictable. After all, Riverbend doesn’t exactly have a roaring social life or an influx of women looking to be the wife of a farmer.

Hold on.

I’m not looking for a wife—or even a girlfriend.

When my best friend tells me that his little sister, Devan, is moving back to Riverbend to teach science, I envision the little girl with pigtails, freckles, and an annoying urge to be wherever her older brother was. Of course, that was twelve years ago when she was ten years old.

Newsflash. Devan is no longer a child.

Imagine my shock when I learn that she is the woman who disappeared after one passionate kiss—one I couldn’t get out of my head.

Once I realize Devan is my mystery woman, I can’t walk away.

The problem is that she’s my best friend’s little sister, ten years younger than me, and definitely off-limits.

What will it mean for my friendship if I pursue my feelings?

Can one kiss change everything?

Have you been Aleatha’d?

ONE KISS is a stand-alone, age-gap, best friend’s sister, small-town forbidden contemporary romance set in Riverbend, Indiana, and one of Aleatha’s Lighter Ones. Sit back and enjoy the hijinks as Justin’s safe and predictable world is turned upside down.

This is a really fun romance with some of my favorite tropes. It's written by an author who typically writes more angst books, but these are lighter and heavy on romance and light on angst. The tropes in this book are a 10-year age difference, brothers' best friend and a secret identity. I totally adored this story and I only hated that it ended I fell very hard for Devan and Justin. 

Devan is graduating college when this story begins, and she and her best friends visit her hometown on the sly when interviewing for a job. After the interview she attends a party and that's when she runs into her brother's best friend, and they share a kiss. But she doesn't tell him her name, so he just calls her BK for Best Kiss while he tries to find her again.

When Devan moves back to town Justin gets a HUGE shock and honestly that's when I fell hard for him. I adored how these two decide to follow their hearts and see if that special moment can last forever.

I really don't want to give too much away, and this was such a romantic, small town, age gap romance. I loved that both characters see how special their connection is and that they follow their hearts.

Boss in the Shadows - Billionaire Boss #4 - by Janie Grey (Aria and Dominic)




BLURB

There is only ONE stranger Dominic Smith tolerates, and that’s me.

And it’s because I’m on the payroll acting as his fake fiancĂ©e.

The international billionaire and dedicated loner needs my social skills to schmooze the locals while he glares from the shadows, but if he thinks he can stay there, he's mistaken.

We’re meant to be a couple, so he has to stop being an antisocial jerk boss long enough to pretend he’s in love with me, but it surprises us both when he’s convincing.

I can’t deny I’ve found it an easy role to play. Too easy perhaps. But no matter how real our feelings seem to become, I have to remember it’s a ruse. Business CANNOT mix with pleasure… can it?

When my contract ends, so does the relationship. He’ll head home to the other side of the world, and I’ll finally have enough money for everything I thought I wanted.

But will he make room in his luggage for my heart, when he takes it with him?

Boss in the Shadows is a standalone romance with an HEA. While it's part of a series, each book is a different couple and can be read on its own.

AUTHOR BIO


Janie loves good coffee, bittersweet chocolate, and contemporary romance in all its forms. But while she loves many genres, billionaire romance is her favourite to write. Who doesn’t like a hot guy with buckets of money? Especially when he has to work hard to win the love of his life.


I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This book takes place in New Zealand and stars Aria who is the sister whose sisters, Mel and Sage are dating billionaires, Ajax and Grant from the previous books in the series. We also get to see their friends, Ed and Jasmine in this book.

Aria owns a dress shop and needs to find a new location, but money is a bit tight for her. She is paired with Dominic as he needs to expand his business and needs a fake fiancée. He hires her to pretend to be engaged to him while helping him network for his business as his fiancée.

Dominic is a very serious man and definitely not a people person. He likes dressing casually, is anti-suits, needs a haircut, wears glasses and is very strait laced, and likes one-word answers.  We actually met him in the previous books as the IT security friend everyone calls when they need help. He is so serious that he is really cute and funny.  I laughed at the first dinner party with him, Aria and Mel and Grant. 

This had a bit of a makeover with Aria making Dominic into more of a fashionable man and it was a total laugh riot. I loved them together so much. This was a fun story with two extremely opposite people who end up in a fake relationship. It made me smile, laugh and sigh. I am really loving this series. 

My only real criticism on this story was I felt the end wrapped up too easily. The before the fake dating was a good 30-40% of the story and the wrap up and ending was so fast that I was like, what? Beyond that this was a fun story with cute characters and some great laughs.

ABOUT THE BOOK


I have this thing about saying 'yes'. I do it frequently, and with abandon.

Skydiving on a whim? Yes.
A last minute getaway to Ireland? Yes!
Agreeing to a marriage of convenience with sexy and arrogant Luca Rossi for two years? Um...yes?
It should have been a simple arrangement. Luca needs a wife to clean up his image as the new CEO of Rossi Motors, and I need my mother to stop trying to fix me up on terrible dates. In two years, we'll part amicably, no attachments or hard feelings. Anything that happens between us will be outside the confines of our arrangement.
And by anything, I mean falling into Luca's bed. Which I also do frequently and with abandon.
But nothing is ever as simple as it seems. It isn't long before I fall for my motorcycle-riding, dirty-talking, sexy-as-sin husband.
I know I should be careful. This is just temporary, after all, and Luca and I want completely different futures.
The thing is, when I'm with Luca, all I want to do is say, 'yes', no matter how reckless that would be.

This was a really fun book starring Saoirse and Luca. In this story Luca has taken over his family company and he needs to get married to help his image and his company's image. Saoirse gets married to get her mother off her case and to get a cat.

I really loved this book so much. Luca was so much fun, and I loved that Saoirse was such a really great match for him. He has the best family and I loved how they were with Saoirse. I also loved the aspect of Saoirse working for the Rossi company too and I adored their lunches. 

If you have read the authors Savage U books, then you might recognize Saoirse's brother and his wife. I only met them in this book, but I plan on reading their story. They were awesome characters in this book, and I loved how they are with Luca and Saoirse
