ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 29, 2019

Billionaires, cowboys, and romance collide during the holidays in this next book in the River Ranch series!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year at the Ford family ranch. Will one cowboy’s homecoming be the greatest gift of all?

He left town and never looked back.
Cody Ford is a Wall Street honcho with humble Texas roots. This holiday season, he’d be content to just stay in New York and not face his family―and dodge their questions about when and with whom he plans to settle down. . .and if he will do so back at home. But his father isn’t getting any younger, and Cody doesn’t want to miss any last chances to see him and the rest of the folks back on the ranch. The last person Cody was expecting to see? His one-time girlfriend, Lexi Murphy, who’s been working as his dad’s new live-in nurse.

She never forgot him. Can she ever forgive him?
Lexi still holds a grudge against Cody. Back then, the college-bound heartthrob believed he was too good for a small-town girl like Lexi. But now Cody can’t help but see her in a whole new light. Could it be that this beautiful single mother with an unbeatable can-do spirit is the one he’s been waiting for all along? That depends on whether Cody can prove to Lexi that, this time, he means business―and if a sudden snowstorm can lend just the right amount of Christmas magic to help move things along.

My Review:
Once Upon a Cowboy Christmas (River Ranch, #3)Once Upon a Cowboy Christmas by Soraya M. Lane
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A challenging second chance romance. Cody ran from home in college to pursue his career to avoid the emotions brewing. He is a very difficult man to like with his aloof and cold attitude. Returning home for the holidays as his father's health is failing has him seeing his high school girlfriend again for the first time in 10 years. Seeing Lexi and spending time with her does push him to realize what he left behind all those years ago. Lexi is an amazing mother and compassionate care-giver. Her job is to make Walter's life comfortable during his final days. Her son Harry is the light in her life. She struggles to make ends meet now that her mother needs full-time care for her Alzheimer's. Seeing Cody again is gut-wrenching. She never understood why he left her behind and the love she has for him never died. This is not an easy road for either of them but Cody is the one that has to face everything he blocked out as he fled life on the ranch. Will he be willing to open his heart and risk getting hurt to have a life with Lexi? I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

Blog Tour: Kiss Me Again by Emma Hart (review & excerpt)

KMA-BANNER-LIVE

WANTED: ROOMMATE. Must be tidy, polite, and absolutely not my brother’s hot as sin best friend.

Kiss Me Again, an all-new hilarious brother’s best friend standalone romance from New York Times bestselling author Emma Hart is available now!

KISSMEAGAIN
I have no idea why I said yes.
Maybe I’d had one too many wines. Maybe I’d done it accidentally. Maybe I’d been sleep-texting.
One thing I know for sure is this: I absolutely do not want Ethan Hawkins in my apartment, up in my business, taking over my space.
Yet he’s here. Moving his stuff into my spare bedroom. Sending a wave of panty-melting, musky man-scent my way every time he walks past me.
Here’s the thing.
We don’t get along—at all. We never have, and I don’t think we’re going to start now that we’re under one roof.
There’s also that little issue where I’m kinda, sorta, totally in love with him…
Uh-oh.

Excerpt
I shoved the front door open and set my gaze on Ethan on the sofa. “If you’re going to lie to me about living here, we’re going to have to set some hard and fast rules. The first one: the stinky, spiky pig lives in your bedroom.” He peered over at me, one hand in a bag of cheese Doritos and the other tickling the hedgehog who was now lying on his chest. It was quite the sight. “How do you know he stinks?” he asked, licking his fingers and cradling the animal before he put the chip packet on the coffee table. “I Googled. They need cleaning every day. I’m not doing it, and neither am I living in a smell of tiny animal who should be wild.” “He’s a pygmy hedgehog. He’s bred to be domesticated.” “His spiky bits could be made out of solid gold and I wouldn’t give a shit.” I put my purse on the island and looked at him. “You can send me Google links to them if it pleases His Highness, but my stance won’t change. That animal is not living in my living room, and I’d rather you didn’t snuggle with him on the sofa.” “It’s ironic,” Ethan mused. “I have a hedgehog on my chest, and you’re still the prickliest thing in this apartment.” “If I wasn’t staunchly against animal cruelty, I’d throw a saucepan at you.” “You can still hit me over the head with it.” “I was talking about you, not the hedgehog, you pig.” “May I say that you are an absolute fucking delight, Ava. I can’t imagine why you’re still single.” “Probably the same reason you are. The asshole gene is strong as fuck and not all that attractive.”

My Review Kiss Me Again (Kiss Me, #3)Kiss Me Again by Emma Hart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a fun and crazy trip. Ava can't believe she agreed to let her brother's best friend, Ethan, move into her apartment. She's loved him for years and doesn't know how she will be able to be around him all the time but she is desperate to get a roommate to help with the bills. He makes the situation even more intense by moving in Mr. Prickles, his pet hedgehog. Ava has an aversion to small animals which lends so much drama to the situation. Ethan always fights with Ava, it's the only way he can cope with the feelings he has for her knowing she is off-limits as his best friend's sister. Well, let the battle of wills begin as the passive aggressive pranks begin to see who will get the upper hand. These two are so busy fighting what they feel that they can't see that the other feels the same way. Add to this that neither wants to upset Leo if they start a relationship. But can all of the bickering lead them to love? These two are intense and provided me a wonderfully fun and sexy escape. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

Excerpt
Slouched in the back booth of one of those froufrou café places a little later, I pulled out a book and bit into my egg and turkey bacon on an English muffin. Yes, you heard me right. 1. Egg. 2. Turkey bacon. 3. English muffin. It was like one of those riddles on the SAT—which, by the way, I wished I hadn’t taken on a whim in high school, because it made this whole NYC bullshit that much easier. Which two of the above three things does not belong? If you answered numbers two and three, you win. Ding, ding, ding! Winner, winner, chicken dinner! Who the fuck ate turkey bacon? Not a soul where I came from. And an English muffin was a poor excuse for a biscuit. Just as I sank my teeth into the last bite of nourishment—because turkey bacon couldn’t possibly be classified as delicious—someone took the table next to me. Not one for coffee-shop talk, I took a swig of my OJ and lowered my face deeper into my book. Cannery Row? We read that in high school,” a female voice said, interrupting my quiet time. “Hmm.” I nodded without looking up, desperately trying to maintain invisible boundaries. The smell of fresh coffee filled my nostrils, making me think of my mom. She loved her morning coffee. Every day, she made a big pot and drink her first mug on the wraparound porch, sometimes wrapped in a flannel blanket. “You okay?” Another interruption. Looking up, I found the black-haired beauty who’d run into me earlier. “Yeah, why?” Slapping my worn book on the table, I suddenly had beef with the pixie extrovert. “You were reading, and all of a sudden looked really sad. Sorry, I didn’t mean to pry. It’s just . . .” I swallowed, wondering how the hell I looked sad, and then I remembered I was thinking of my mom. So I miss her. I’m no less of a man. It doesn’t make me a mama’s boy. “I’m cool,” I said, rather than explaining the truth. “We just saw each other.” She paused, obviously wanting to chat more, and I nodded. “You go to school here?” I finally asked. “No. It’s nice, though. I was just looking for someone in that building. Didn’t find her.” She whispered the last part to herself. Only listless for a second, she brightened back up. “Are you a grad student?” “Ha,” I barked. “What? I look too old to play the part of undergrad?” I was on the bench seat of my booth, my feet kicked out in front of me; she sat opposite me, on the chair side of her table. I wondered if her feet even touched the floor. Compared to my six-foot-two-inch frame, she’d barely hit my chest when we collided earlier. “Um . . .” She looked away, pink rising in her cheeks. Leaning forward, I ran my palm over my scruff, trying to remember when I last shaved. “Returning adult student is what I think they call it. School wasn’t really in my cards before, and now it is. So here I am.” Sitting quietly, she didn’t respond, just raised her brows as if waiting for more of an explanation. I didn’t give her anything more. My story wasn’t all that interesting, anyway.

My Review: 
Wanderlove

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Emerson goes on a quest to fill the whole in her life, her missing mother. As she searches for this lost love, she never expects to find a new "family" that gives her more love than she could ever dream of. Frustrated with her father's overbearing ways, she leaves home for NYC to seek out the mother that left her on her dad's doorstep. As she works to build a life in New York, working 2 jobs to pay the bills, she looks for any lead to her mother which starts in a bakery where she meets Bev. This leads her to a college where she runs into Price. Price has been dropped into NYC by his wealthy father when all he wants is to be back on the farm with his mom and step-dad. He attends his college classes but without any real enthusiasm and then he runs into this amazing girl. But as fast as he sees her, she is gone. Fate and destiny seem to be at play as these two cross paths again. Each one dealing with issues from decisions their parents made and struggling to know their true place. I loved how this relationship evolved as they dealt with all the ups and downs that life's emotional roller coaster put them on. There are so many amazing moments and unexpected connections that showed me how much fate and destiny can truly guide your life. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

EXCERPT   She laughs and I laugh, and we just enjoy the moment until I take her hand and pull her into me. Her smile fades and the flush in her cheeks brightens. With her body pressed against mine I can’t hide what I’m feeling any longer. “Nils.” She says my name as a warning. “Stop fighting this.” I gaze into her eyes and there’s a silent understanding between us. She nods, and that’s all I need for my lips to come crashing down on hers. Months of wanting her come to a boil as my lips move with hers. She takes and I give. I give and she takes, our tongues swirling in delicious harmony. She tastes better than I remembered, sweet and sultry. Her hands come up to my hair, and her fingers dig into my scalp. My hands run down her neck and wrap around her back. Her palms resting on my shoulders. “Tell me you want me to take you to bed.” My gruff voice is filled with urgency. My chest heaves and my cock pulses behind the zipper of my jeans. This isn’t about my abstinence; this is me wanting her more than my next breath. Damn it. . .

College parties, beer, and one-night stands—that was my life.
Now, I hunt down criminals, ethically or not, but if no one’s asking, then I’m not telling. Drinking and women are still included, though I can’t seem to forget the girl who almost gave me her virginity. She would’ve until I realized she was too young, and I wasn’t looking to get thrown into jail.
In a twist of fate, we’re reunited, except she’s no longer underage but still equally off-limits.
After ignoring her relentless advances, she starts to wear me down. I only have so much willpower when she’s around, running her smart mouth and showing off her impeccable dance moves.
Just when my restraint starts to crumble, my poor choices finally catch up with me, putting us both in danger.
There’s no easy way to explain why I betrayed her, but I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe—even if it means breaking her heart.

The Billionaire's Forbidden Little Sister Official Cover
Theo Cruz, a New York man known for his family’s billion-dollar empire, Cruz Enterprises, has been indicted this afternoon in the Court of Public Opinion on charges of Bro-Code Conspiracy.
Chief counsel for the prosecution, Caplin Hawkins, spoke candidly about the accusation.

He’ll rue the day he forgot that you never—under any circumstances—get involved with your best friend’s little sister.”

Fact: I haven’t actually been arrested or indicted.
More important fact: I inadvertently messed up—big-time.
Two strangers in a foreign country, we said hello.
Hello turned into a kiss.

A vendetta can change everything …
Bene Guzzi is walking a fine line. In his family, the mafia, and even with his own twin. Being a Guzzi principe means he doesn't have time to be a screw up, so he needs to fix it and fast.
Vanna Falco is nothing that she seems. Her angel's face hides a past filled with pain and her secrets might be enough to finally take the Guzzi family down for good. That is, if no one finds out the truth.
But everything gets trickier when people who shouldn't be together, start to fall hard. And no one is more dangerous than a Guzzi in love.
The lies between them, though? Well, they might ruin it all. * Note: Bene is a standalone within The Guzzi Legacy and can be read as such.

EXCLUSIVE REVEAL EXCERPT

Until, of course, she heard someone mutter, “If you’re gonna do that, could you fucking move it outside to the alley like every other bitch that’ll get on her knees does, and give someone else the table?”
Vanna stiffened the second Bene’s lips stilled against her own. She physically felt the change in his posture, and sensed it, too. Like his playful, sexiness had left him just like that, and the heat in his gaze suddenly burned with more rage than it did lust when his stare met hers.
She didn’t know why she thought to speak to defuse the situation, but she still did. Or at least, she tried. “It’s fine. Just ignore him. It’s o—”
That was all Vanna managed to say before Bene pushed away from her. He spun sideways, as though he had just known the asshole came up to his right without even looking that way when he had been distracted with her. His fist was already flying, crashing into the face of the man before Vanna even had time to think about what was happening.
And then as fast as it happened, it was over. Bene spun on his heels, a dark grin tugging at his lips when her wide—slightly amused, but also terrified—gaze met his. Yes, she’d seen a man hit another man over her before. But no, she had never quite liked it the way she did right then.
The man hadn’t even hit the floor before Bene’s hand found hers, and he pulled her off the pool table, grabbing her bag from the floor at the same time, and moved them toward the back entrance of the bar. She peeked over her shoulder in just enough time, right before they darted out the back doors, to see the bartender coming around the bar.
They were already gone.
It was over.
That’s how fast it happened.
Her hand stayed tucked tightly with Bene’s as he pulled her through the back alley behind the bar, and through the maze of another three. He didn’t stop until they were one block down, and she recognized the familiar brick design of his building. Except it was the side, and not the front. Not that it mattered to her when he pressed her into the brick, his body crowding hers in the best way, leg slipping between her thighs to give her pussy something to grind on while he kissed her harder than ever.
Until her lungs burned.
And all she saw was him.
His hands skimmed over the front of her jeans, unsnapping the button and pulling down the zipper before sliding underneath. She stared down the alley to the busy street where people bustled on by. Not to mention, all the windows around them. What were the chances that this alley would be empty at this time of night? And still, anyone could see them there, if they just thought to look.
Vanna still didn’t care.
“That was crazy,” she breathed against his mouth.
Bene chuckled, lips curving with hers. “Worth it.”
“Shouldn’t make a woman run in heels, Bene.”
“Can I fuck one in them?”
Vanna groaned. “Yes.”
