The One I Stood Beside ~ Piper Rayne ~ New Release & Review
The One I Stood Beside by Piper Rayne is now live!
It’s the classic story—best friends since childhood agree to a fake marriage, thinking they can pretend to love each other without their relationship changing.
Jude would do anything for me. He’s stood by my side since we were six, and I’ve done the same for him.
When my father dies, leaving our family farm drowning in debt and on the brink of being auctioned, I’m not surprised Jude steps in to help. I just never dreamed he’d fall to bended knee and devise a plan for us to fool everyone into thinking there’s more than a lifelong friendship between us.
Soon, I’m moving into his house, we’re planning a wedding on his family’s ranch, and we discover a new side to our relationship. I keep reminding myself it’s not real—it’s only to secure a loan to save the farm.
I’ve secretly loved Jude all my life, and now that I know how good we are together, I’m not sure we can return to being just friends.

I love this series! The Houghton brothers are fantastic with a great relationship and it was so fun to spend time with the oldest brother Jude and his best friend, Sadie.
The One I Stood Beside is a well-written friends-to-lovers series with a twist. Jude and Sadie are both great characters that I enjoyed getting to know and watching them struggle with getting in their own way of happily ever after.
This story pulled me in and didn't let go while we watched them navigate the bumpy waters of their evolving relationship. Between how Jude and Sadie handled things, the input of the other Houghton boys, their friends, and the town made things flow quickly. I don't want to say too much, but I think Jude might just be one of my favorite leading men in a long time!

Hold Me Until Morning ~ A L Jackson ~ New Release & Review
Hold Me Until Morning by A.L. Jackson is now live!
I should have known I’d be playing with fire when I found the sexy as hell woman moving in next door...
It was pouring rain, so I figured the neighborly thing to do would be to lend a hand.
I nearly dropped to my knees when I realized who she was.
Hailey Wagner.
It’s been six years since I’ve seen her, and she’s always been the one person on earth who is off limits.
My past sins I’ve kept like an ugly secret made sure of that.
Too bad this single mom with the soulful eyes still makes my pulse speed the way it did back then, and I soon find our chemistry is just as strong.
When I find her ex threatening her, I insist on staying with Hailey and her little girl until I’m sure they’re safe.
I thought I could handle being under her roof. Only the tension between us strains, and with one forbidden kiss, all restraint is lost. We collide in a lightning bolt of greed, the two of us locked behind her door night after night.
Falling so hard I know there will be no coming back from it.
But being with Hailey exposes the past I’ve been trying to hide, and I’ll do anything to protect her from it. Because if I don’t? We’re both going to pay the consequences…

Cody Cooper has been in the background of the Time River series as we have seen his friends and family find their happy ever afters. Now, it's his turn to find the woman who turns everything on its head!
Hold Me Until Morning finds him reconnecting with Hailey. She was the one he couldn't go near when she was 18 and life forced them to drift apart before they could come together. They both have baggage and think they need to be apart, but life has other plans.
Ms Jackson pulled us in and weaved a story around them as they reconnected and shared their lives. This is a multi-layered story. Individually Hailey and Cody both have issues they are afraid to share and it was sweet to see them start to trust and lean on each other. Cody's friends/family embrace Hailey and bring her into the fold. Add those emotional elements to a great intriguing story that keeps the reader on their toes and we have a book that won't let go.
The secondary cast includes Ms Jackson's trademark scene-stealer kiddo. Ms Maddie was so cute and she fit right in with the other Time River couples. I don't know if this wraps up the Time River series (I think it might), but if it does this is a great way to do that.
