A Little More You By Jennifer Carr

Fame put her in the spotlight. It also put her in danger.

He was hired to keep her safe. Falling for her wasn’t part of the job.

Harper Lane didn’t chase fame—but when her music caught the right ears, a reality TV stage turned into sold-out shows and a life lived under a spotlight. Now, with a tour on the horizon and her star rising fast, the pressure is enough without a stalker tracking her every move.

Enter Rett Cross: former military, now elite private security. His mission is simple—keep Harper safe. But the more time they spend together, the more complicated it gets. She’s all light and heart. He’s no-nonsense and control. And neither of them is prepared for what’s building between them.

As the tour heats up and the threats close in, their connection deepens—and so do the risks. Because loving Harper doesn’t just mean lowering his guard. It means learning what it really takes to protect someone when the danger hits close to home.

Little Miss Petty By Sally Kilpatrick

When Stella Stark discovers that her boyfriend is cheating, she also discovers that thirty-nine isn’t too old for petty revenge. Can we say…glitter bomb? She’s lost both her job and her home—why not broaden her professional horizons as Little Miss Petty, helping wronged women achieve karmic justice? Frankly, the demand is too great to ignore.

New friends rally around her: Havisham, a bar owner with a soft spot under her gruff exterior, and Salcedo, a college student with marketing savvy. There’s just one hiccup: Getting revenge on the cheating soon-to-be ex-husband of her best-paying client is supposed to be easy. After all, he’s her neighbor. But something isn’t adding up. Malone is not only intriguingly handsome. He’s also a good listener, sympathetic, and adores kittens. He may look like the ex, but he isn’t acting like him. And how can Stella, a woman on the rebound, be even remotely tempted by the pizza-with-benefits relationship he suggests? That would be so bad for business.

There’s so much for Stella to learn—about karma, the charmer across the breezeway she’s falling for, and most importantly, herself. Love, revenge, and second chances—they all come with a little risk. And a twist.

Love Grows Wild By Winter Renshaw

Wren Jensen thought she had it all—until she was left at the altar and left with nothing but writer’s block. Out of options, she packs up her five-year-old son and heads back to her hometown of Colton Valley, hoping the quiet countryside will inspire her again.

Hunter McCrae wanted that property for himself. The last thing the grumpy farmer expected was a single mom moving in next door—or how much she’d unsettle his carefully guarded solitude.

Wren isn’t looking for love. Hunter isn’t looking for neighbors. But with every stolen glance and shared moment, the walls they’ve built start to crack.

She’s haunted by heartbreak. He’s married to his solitude. Neither is ready to risk it all.

But sometimes love doesn’t follow rules. It grows wild, right where it’s not supposed to.

Fallen Hero By Riley Edwards

Former Navy SEAL Mason Hughes locked his heart away years ago after devastating betrayal. Now his iron control serves him well on dangerous missions…until a high-stakes operation in Dubai brings him face to face with the enigmatic Calista Ventura.

Calista is on a mission for vengeance, and the last thing she needs is the tempting distraction of the infuriating yet irresistible Mason. But when their missions become dangerously entangled, she finds herself relying on his lethal skills to stay alive.

As they work to expose an international trafficking ring, the heat between them becomes impossible to deny. Mason’s protective instincts war with Calista’s need to handle things alone. But in a world of deadly secrets and powerful enemies, trusting the wrong person could be fatal.

When Calista’s past catches up with them both, they’ll have to decide if the chance at love is worth risking everything they’ve fought to protect.

Where We Belong By Savannah Carlisle

Chloe Beckett has always believed in the magic of community. Raised on Big Dune Island, Chloe found her place in the kitchen of her grandmother’s coastal home, where neighbors became family and stories were passed down over cups of coffee.

Review Card & Book Review- Off Limits By Emma Rae

She’s the cheerleader. He’s the star player. One problem: their contracts.

For Serenity Harper, paying off her father’s massive gambling debt means working a job as a late-night dancer in a sleazy dive bar. But achieving her dream of becoming a cheerleader for the Canyon football team, she must hide her double life from her new employers.

But when Serenity catches the attention of the newest Canyon star player, golden-boy Jake Walsh, while out shopping – sparks instantly fly.

But their contracts have a very specific clause: no fraternizing with the players or cheerleaders. As the pair struggle to stay away from each other, will Serenity’s other secrets come to light, and will Jake lose his perfect player image…?

About The Author

My Review

This is a contemporary sports romance that explores a forbidden relationship between Jake, a young NFL rookie, and Serenity, a dedicated cheerleader for his team. Their connection begins with an unexpected grocery store encounter and grows stronger despite a professional rule prohibiting relationships between players and cheerleaders. The secrecy surrounding their romance adds tension and tenderness, and Jake’s caring nature—especially in his interactions with his younger sister, River—adds depth to his character.

The story includes heartfelt moments and emotional exchanges, though some aspects may feel less authentic, such as the limited football detail and the use of British spellings in an American setting. Discussions about relationships and intimacy recur throughout the book, which may not appeal to all readers. Additionally, certain plot elements—coercion, intimidation, and scenes set in a strip club—may require content warnings.

Overall, Off Limits offers a sweet, secretive love story with elements of risk and devotion. It’s a light, emotional read for those who enjoy romance centered on breaking rules for love.

Review Card & Book Review- Never Look Back By Susan Lewis

A dead husband. A missing wife. Will they find her in time?

Romy Kaplan has vanished from her home.

Or has she?

When Romy begins posting on her social media accounts asking everyone to stop looking for her, the police are certain she is safe. But Romy’s nearest and dearest are far from convinced.

Her husband died in the bath under inconclusive circumstances six weeks ago. And Romy would never disappear without telling someone where she is going.

As true crime podcast host, Cristy Ward, picks up Romy’s case… she has the whole world asking…

Where is Romy now?

About The Author

My Review

This is a gripping, timely mystery that blends emotional depth with modern-day intrigue. When Romy Kaplan suddenly vanishes—her phone unanswered and her social media active—her terminally ill friend Beth grows desperate. Beth’s daughter, Layla, turns to the Hindsight podcast team—Cristy, Connor, and Clove—for help. Through Cristy’s perspective, the investigation unravels secrets, lies, and a chilling conspiracy tied to cybercrime and AI manipulation.

Lewis’s storytelling is sharp and immersive, balancing tension with heartfelt character moments. Cristy, in particular, stands out as a determined and empathetic lead whose own story adds texture and realism. The podcast format offers a fresh narrative device, revealing clues and emotional insights naturally. With smooth prose, brisk pacing, and clever twists, the book keeps readers engaged throughout.

While Romy’s character occasionally feels too idealized, the mystery’s momentum and the timely themes make up for it. Never Look Back is an absorbing, contemporary thriller about friendship, truth, and the dark side of technology.

Review Card & Book Review – Settle For More By Campbell Linden

Tess Hughes thought she’d traded in small-town gossip for the bright lights of Los Angeles. But when her estranged uncle leaves her a gift shop in Danville Falls, she’s forced back to the town she couldn’t wait to escape, and into the heart of everything she left behind.

Moving home at forty-five isn’t exactly a dream come true. Sharing her old bedroom with memories of her teenage years is hard enough, and running into Will Sampson makes it harder still.

When Tess hires Will to renovate her shop, their working relationship sparks into something neither of them can ignore. Late-night talks turn into stolen kisses, and soon Tess begins to wonder if home might be more than a place she left behind. But Will has no plans to leave Danville Falls, and Tess still believes her life is waiting in California.

Love And Lairds At Highland Hall By Hannah Lynn

The new heir isn’t the only thing causing a stir at Highland Hall…

After an unexpected twist in Fergus’s will, Rebecca Barker is still reeling. Duncan MacDuffrey, the ruggedly handsome groundskeeper-turned-heir, is now officially the new laird of Highland Hall. And just as shocking? The slow-burn romance they thought had fizzled out seems to be rekindling.

But not everyone is celebrating. Kieron, Fergus’s great-nephew and longtime rival for the estate, is furious. Convinced the title and the land should have been his, he will not let anything – or anyone – stand in his way.

And somehow, Bex seems to be his number one target. Between handling estate paperwork, dodging village whispers and trying not to get too in her head about her relationship with Duncan, she already has more than enough on her plate.

Is love enough to weather this Highland storm? Or will Bex lose more than her heart this time?

Review Card & Book Review – Old Girls Go Greek By Maddie Please

At 64, Meg Foster is ready to paint outside the lines

Newly divorced from overbearing husband Malcom and with only reruns of Bergerac and an irascible black cat called Ivan for company, Meg decides it’s time to add a little colour back into her life. So when she spots a flyer for a local art class at the Lower Begley community centre, she grabs a brush — despite her only painting experience being a half-hearted coat of magnolia in the downstairs loo.

Surrounded by a motley crew of charming amateur artists, Meg slowly begins to rediscover her spark with the help of the other old girls…and the only male in the group Dennis. And when someone suggests a painting holiday to sun-soaked Santorini, Meg doesn’t hesitate to sign up. Whitewashed walls, turquoise seas and possibly even a Grecian god or two? Yes please!

As the sun sets over the Aegean, Meg starts to realise that life — like art — is all about perspective. Could this trip be more than just a wash of watercolour fun? Could friendship, freedom and a second-chance romance be just a sketch away?

About The Author

My Review

This book promises sun, laughter, and second chances under the Santorini sky—but while the premise is charming, the execution feels surprisingly shallow. The story follows 64-year-old Meg, a lonely divorcée who impulsively accepts a week-long trip to Greece from a near-stranger she meets at an art class. It’s a fun idea, but the leap from awkward introduction to idyllic getaway happens so abruptly that it strains believability.

Once in Greece, Meg’s personal journey of rediscovery feels glossed over, replaced by polite chatter and a steady stream of “marvellous” moments. The supporting cast remains paper-thin, their conversations light but forgettable. Only in brief flashes—like Meg’s witty reflections on ageing and independence—does the story gain warmth and authenticity.

Still, Old Girls Go Greek has its place: it’s an easy, escapist summer read, perfect for readers wanting sunshine and simple smiles rather than emotional depth. If you’re after breezy comfort rather than realism or nuance, this lighthearted holiday tale will do nicely.

Review Card & Book Review- Heirs And Graces At Highland Hall By Hannah Lynn

✨ Some things can’t be easily left behind, especially the heart… ✨

Rebecca Barker thought she’d left Highland Hall – and a certain brooding Scotsman – firmly in the past. Back in London, her life is orderly, focused and heartbreak-free. Long-distance love didn’t work, and she’s convinced it was the right call.

But when beloved laird Fergus passes away, his will contains one final surprise: a personal request for Bex to return to the Highlands and help settle his affairs. Reluctantly, Bex finds herself back at the estate that once felt like home. But returning means facing Duncan – her ex – and the sparks that never quite went out.

As they navigate old wounds, village gossip and Fergus’s final wishes, it becomes clear that the unfinished business Bex must deal with in the Highlands isn’t just her work. Can she keep things strictly professional this time? Or, with a big Burns Night party approaching, will the romantic Scottish air weave its magic once more?

About The Author

My Review

This is a warm, wintry romance laced with mystery, family drama, and just the right touch of Scottish charm. When Bex Barker is unexpectedly summoned back to Highland Hall, she has no idea that her life is about to be upended. Facing her ex, Duncan, and learning that beloved Fergus—the Laird of the castle—has died is only the beginning. Soon, Bex is pulled into a web of secrets surrounding Fergus’s will, tasked with uncovering an anomaly before it’s made public. Between navigating the estate’s tensions, a raging snowstorm, and the attentions of two handsome rivals, she must balance heart and head in true romantic fashion.

Hannah Lynn delivers an engaging story filled with humor, heart, and Highland atmosphere. The castle setting feels delightfully festive, especially with Burns Night celebrations and plenty of cozy, snow-dusted scenes. Bex is an instantly likable heroine—determined, slightly flustered, and impossible not to root for. Fans of romantic comedies with a dash of intrigue and a strong Scottish flavor will find this a thoroughly enjoyable read.

Review Card & Book Review- Life Begins At The Cornish Cottage By Kim Nash

When life gives you heartbreak 💔, sometimes it also gives you a second chance… 💕

When Tom Sullivan returns to the quiet village of Sandpiper Shore, Emma can hardly believe her eyes. She hasn’t seen him since they played Romeo and Juliet in their school play – a lifetime ago, before real heartbreak, and long before she ever imagined life as a widow.

The last thing she wants is to relive the past, especially with someone who once made her teenage heart flutter. But when Emma agrees to put on a charity pantomime to raise money for the air ambulance service that helped her late husband, she’s thrown firmly back into Tom’s path.

As rehearsals begin and the local community rallies around her, Emma finds unexpected joy in bringing people together – and a surprising connection with Tom that feels far too real to ignore. Maybe it’s time for Emma to become the leading lady in her own life, not just for the show, but for herself.

About The Author

My Review

This is a heartfelt and uplifting second-chance romance that beautifully celebrates friendship, community, and rediscovery. Though part of The Sandpiper Shore series, it can easily be enjoyed as a standalone. The story follows Emma, a warm-hearted widow who has devoted herself to helping others through her work with The Lonely Hearts Club. When she’s roped into directing the village pantomime, she unexpectedly comes face-to-face with Tom Sullivan — the man who broke her heart thirty-five years ago.

Their reunion is tender, nostalgic, and filled with the kind of quiet emotion that comes from years of life and loss. Nash balances this beautifully with humor and charm, especially through memorable side characters like the enthusiastic vicar Graham and the delightful Ruby. The strong sense of community spirit, with everyone rallying together for the pantomime and charity, gives the book its cozy soul.

Heartwarming, hopeful, and brimming with seaside charm, this is a wonderful story about second chances, friendship, and finding joy again after grief.

For Adan, it’s a first. His first time with a man. His first time questioning everything he thought he knew about himself.

About The Author

My Review

This is a delightful blend of festive fun, heartfelt emotion, and small-town charm. Ellie Alexander crafts a story that’s as cozy as a mug of hot chocolate on a snowy evening, mixing holiday cheer with authentic, relatable relationships.

At the center are Marissa, a hardworking caterer chasing her dream with her new business Yes, Cheese, and William, the town’s most eligible bachelor from a wealthy family. When they’re paired up for a high-stakes holiday scavenger hunt, what begins as an unlikely partnership soon turns into something much deeper. Their slow-burn chemistry is sweet and satisfying, but what makes the story shine is the inclusion of Hilary and Ben’s mature marriage arc. Hilary’s struggle with empty nest syndrome and marital distance adds emotional weight, grounding the romance with realism and depth.

Alexander weaves multiple perspectives effortlessly, allowing every thread to connect in a warm, meaningful way. With humor, heart, and a touch of holiday magic, this is a feel-good festive romance that celebrates love in all its forms—new, rekindled, and enduring. A charming holiday escape.
