Still (Grip) by Kennedy Ryan
From the very beginning Ms. Ryan has made it hard to resist this couple. How could I call myself a romantic, if I wasn't rooting for their happy ending? Still is the culmination of a love affair that is gritty, heartbreaking and all encompassing. From friends to lovers, it's been a bumpy road, but the connection between Bristol and Grip, although tested never wavers. I want a love like that.

Playing With Forever by Amy Andrews
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The dog is the star and the romance plays a close second in this immensely entertaining, laughably tempting, hard to put down romance. The sports star with the sexy physique and his pick of women is brought down to size by a mischievous pooch and a slip of a woman with big dreams and a talent for dog whispering. Playing With Forever is every woman's dream. To find a guy that may not be perfect, but is willing to take a chance all in the name of love.

Untamed Devotion (Barrington Billionaires) by Danielle Stewart
When dealing in acquisitions and failures, it pays to know what you're up against. Not every beautiful ornament is a treasure, sometimes beauty can be lethal. Untamed Devotion reads like a metaphor for the haves and have nots. The world is made up of good and bad, no matter the social class or environment a person chooses to inhabit. Monroe is a man of means that deals in the bottom line. Aria is a woman with little to her name, but enough spirit to get her through life's disappointments. They come from different worlds and in the midst of beauty, discover just how ugly the world can be. Ms. Stewart lays out some often forgotten life lessons while crafting an intriguing tale of romance, danger and faith. Happily ever after is only a teardrop away with Untamed Devotion. (4.5 stars)

Then Came You by Jeannie Moon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Jeannie Moon is a treasure. Far beyond the new beginnings and second chances lies not just a romance but a family. Mia, Ben and Adam are the key players, but it's the secondary characters that steal the show. Mia's mother is a piece of work. Self -centered, cold, cruel and needy. Her grandmother on the other hand sealed the deal for me. Fiesty, funny and unforgettable are just a few adjectives to describe the firecracker of an old lady. How can you not fall in love with such realistic people and such great writing? Then Came You is an enticing beginning to what I think will be an unforgettable series.

HEAD OVER HEELS (SOMETHING NEW) BY JENNIFER DAWSON
Release Date: September 26, 2017
SYNOPSIS
Country and city, strapping and petite—these new neighbors have literally nothing in common. Are the fireworks crackling between them pure irritation—or something a whole lot hotter?
With her professional reputation in tatters—and her boss in jail—Sophie Kincaid has no choice but to move to small-town Revival, Illinois, until the dust settles, where her best friends have arranged a job and a house for her. For six months, she’s pretty sure she can handle anything—even her new landlord and neighbor, Ryder Moore. A magnetic 6’4” deputy sheriff, Ryder’s good looks and habit of flirting with intent to seduce are an infuriating distraction—and, to Sophie’s alarm, an undeniable temptation.
Ryder knows Sophie’s type—entitled city girl—and it’s not one of his favorites. Add in her snarky sass and her propensity for trouble and she’s not exactly his ideal tenant. But something about the curvy little blonde fires Ryder’s imagination, not to mention his desire. Soon enough their verbal sparring seems like a prelude to something much more physical—and far more pleasurable. Is love right around the corner—or just right next door?

SYNOPSIS
The Earl and Countess of Banfield cordially request your attendance at the wedding for their daughters: Lady Tamsyn Hambly to Mr. Gryffyn Cardew, & Lady Morgan Hambly to Harold Mort, Viscount Blackwater, on the 24th day of December, 1811, at Castle Keyvnor, Bocka Morrow, Cornwall.
KISSED AT CHRISTMAS includes:
Christina McKnight's Bound By the Christmastide Moon
Silas Anson has spent his life dealing with other people’s mistakes. Now, as the Earl of Lichfield, he has a plan that will protect his siblings, and give him a chance at a normal life. His arranged marriage to Mallory Hughes should be perfect—except for one thing: she sees visions of the future. When a man determined to free himself from the shackles of the past marries a woman with precognition, happiness in the present may be just a kiss under the Christmastide moon away.
Ava Stone's Once Upon a Midnight Clear
Only a duke will do for Lady Ivy Dallimore. If her unhappily married sisters have taught her anything, it’s that love is fleeting but a title lasts forever, which is all well and good in theory until she finds herself falling for the scandalous third son of a marquess who is bound and determined to make his fortune in trade! Lord Michael Beck courts scandal, living life to the fullest and dabbling in games of chance. Unfortunately, he’s neither heir nor spare to his father’s title, and the time has come to enter a profession. Michael is no soldier, and he certainly isn’t cut out for the cloth, so he embarks on the most scandalous and risky venture of his life. He will need capital, however, and collecting a number of outstanding gambling debts at a Christmas Eve wedding at Castle Keyvnor seems like the perfect place to start, at least until he stumbles across the lady of his dreams. But what are the odds the practiced gambler can win the girl without losing everything he's worked for?
Michelle Willingham's The Sweetest Christmas
Lady Marjorie despises the idea of marriage. After being engaged to a man who tried to command every aspect of her life, from what she wore to what she ate, she refuses to consider matrimony again.

Ethan Higgins, a defenseman for the Tulsa Thunderbirds, is in a rut. He hasn’t scored a goal in ages, and he hasn’t had a woman in his bed for even longer.

What a beautiful surprise. I went into The Sheikh's Unruly Lover with one mindset and left it seduced by love. Marian is a tad bolder than previous heroines in a Leslie North novel. Which makes her more intriguing. Despite her outer boldness, she has internalized insecurities that haunt her daily life. Omar is less alpha more mysterious.

TIES THAT BIND (HOT IN HOLLYWOOD) BY KATEE ROBERT
Release Date: September 19, 2017
SYNOPSIS
Once upon a time, Cora Landers was America’s Sweetheart and destined to be the Next Big Thing in Hollywood—but that was before her sex tape ruined her image and eliminated her contracts. These days, instead of being an A-lister, she’s divorce attorney to the A-listers. So when her ex—and fellow sex tape star—Jack shows up, needing her expertise, she wants nothing to do with it.
Jack McArthur might have costarred in that sex tape, but he didn’t share Cora’s fate—instead of tanking his career, the tape skyrocketed it. Now, as one of Hollywood’s most buzzed about new directors, Jack has everything to lose—especially when he wakes up after a friend’s bachelor party gone wrong to find that he’s apparently married a woman he’s never met before…and now can’t find. Desperate, he goes to the only person who he knows can help—Cora.
Cora reluctantly agrees to help Jack—both because he’s offering an absurd amount of money and because she loves seeing him as a disadvantage for once. Neither of them anticipate the very real problem of their being unable to keep their hands off each other—or that Jack’s accidental marriage might be anything but accidental. With both her heart and career on the line—again—Cora has to decide if she’s going to take the high road or leave Jack hanging in the wind the same way he left her twelve years ago.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
There's always a bright side to every dark cloud and although Cora has yet to find hers, fate has one more ironic twist. Jack McArthur. One indiscretion ruined her, but hardly touched the Teflon director. Now her worst mistake needs her help and her heart may prove the casualty. Ties that Bind is a humorous novella of sexy scenarios, twists of fate and second chances that will leave readers scandalized and hypnotized by the saucy ride. Five stars is not nearly enough to describe how much of a wild ride Cora and Jack are together, but it will have to do.

Not her finest moment.
Levi Turnbull made his fortune by creating tech that melds exercise with video games. It sounded great at the time, but now he’s got more money than he knows what to do with and he’s bored out of his mind waiting for the next game to launch. When he realizes a neighbor has been neglecting his dog, he takes matters into his own hands—by taking the dog. If he’s been trolling the neighbor ever since with hilarious fliers around the area… Well, he’s only human. When he finds a pretty redhead trespassing on his property in search of the missing dog, he sees the ultimate distraction until the launch.
Brooklyn initially agrees to a date in order to get close enough to Levi to find evidence of his dognapping—but that motivation gets complicated when they end up in bed together. She’s unable to resist his charm, and as they grow closer, Brooklyn can’t avoid the truth—not only did Levi steal a million dollar dog…he’s in danger of stealing her heart, too.

Brave, bold and sexy. Erika Wilde goes there. She tackles subjects that not many dare to touch, but all dare to experience. Turning Up the Heat is the latest in a long line of taboo, yet entertaining novels. A character like Kerri could have only been written by an author like Ms. Wilde. She personifies brash and splash, but behind the shock value lies an insecure woman. Ian is everything, Kerri displays to the world, but is afraid of becoming. Turning Up the Heat hits on some serious issues while tempting with humorous dialogue and irresistible characters. Through characters like Ian and Kerri, Ms. Wilde is saying it's okay to be a little different as long as we're true to ourselves.

Let There Be Love (Sled Dog) by Melissa Storm
I have always been fascinated by dogsledding. The picturesque scenery, the beautiful dogs and the connection that builds between the dogs and their trainers. That sport is truly a thing of beauty to watch. Naturally, I was drawn to Let There Be Love for that reason. However, I stayed because I am in awe of the author and her ability to create powerhouse tales of courage that mix the fairy tales of old with the lessons of life. Ms. Storm manages to inspire as she informs. Her stories are thought provoking, emotionally charged works of art, despite the subject matter her stories get people talking and that's a trait that every author hopes for.
