Wyatt ~ Jessica Peterson ~ New Release & Review

 


Wyatt by Jessica Peterson is now live! 

Roping horses leads to riding cowboys in this sexy friends-to-lovers, fake-dating, lessons-in-seduction romance by Jessica Peterson.

 

Wyatt Rivers is the perfect no-strings hookup—a cowboy Casanova who rocks a Stetson, looks smokin’ hot in his Wranglers, and never rests his head on the same pillow twice.

 

He’s exactly what I’m looking for. If only Wyatt wasn’t also my best friend…

 

I’m back in my hometown of Harstville, Texas, for a few months while I wait for my dream job to start thousands of miles away. While I’m here, I hope to end an epic dry spell in the bedroom, preferably with a local cowboy. If the rumors are true, they really do ride harder and stay on longer.

 

Wyatt and I have been best friends since second grade, and I’ve been in love with him for almost as long. But he’s as wild and untamed as a colt that can’t be broken—not to mention, totally out of my league with his good looks and heartbreaker reputation.

 

Then I get to thinking: since Wyatt is such an expert, why doesn’t he teach me the ropes of how to find a hookup? He begrudgingly agrees, and a little fake flirting suddenly leads to fake dating, which leads to real kissing, which leads to real…well, everything else.

 

And let me just say, the rumors are absolutely true.

 

Now, I want so badly to be Wyatt’s last rodeo. But I’m leaving town, and even if I wasn’t, I’m not sure Wyatt would ever change his playboy ways.

 

I know cowboys can’t be tamed. Apparently, neither can hearts…

4 Stars - Would Recommend to a friend


Wyatt is book 2 in the Lucky Rivers Ranch series. While this is a stand alone, it leans heavily on the world building done in Cash’s book. 

Timing wise, most of this story takes place in between Cash and Mollie finding their happily ever after and the epilogue of their book.


Based on what we knew of Wyatt going in, I will say that this story was unexpected in the best way I enjoyed getting to know Wyatt and Sally better and seeing them get out of their own way. 


Equally sweet and spicy, this was definitely a feel good read that has me curious about the other 3 Rivers boys. 

This is a series that should be read in order to get the full impact!

Under An Endless Moon ~ A L Jackson ~ Cover Reveal

 


A.L. Jackson has revealed the gorgeous covers for Under an Endless Moon!


Releasing: February 10, 2025

Cover Design: Qamber Designs

Photographer: Michelle Lancaster


I should have known I’d break the oath I made when I offered to let my best friend’s little sister move in with me…


She’s the sweetest woman on the face of the planet.


And to my great misfortune, the sexiest one, too.


She’s been living under her brother’s roof her entire life, and she’s ready to spread her wings.


And I’m the masochist who offers she stay at my place until she can find an apartment.


When I hear her having a nightmare, the only thing I can do is go to her. Hold her so she knows she’s safe from her demons.


The second she’s in my arms, the attraction I’ve tried to hide sparks to life. I know better than to push past the boundaries I’ve set for us, but when she begs me to touch her in a way she’s never been touched, I can’t resist.


And with my name on her lips as I send her soaring for the first time, I know there’s no going back.


I’m willing to break every rule and oath I’ve ever made to keep her.


Accept every consequence.


Only she and I have a dark, dangerous history that no one knows about.


And I’m afraid the consequences of loving her have just caught up to us…

Review Round Up ~ December 17




New Releases:


My rating: 4 of 5 stars - Would Recommend to a Friend

Review Copy Provided by Publisher

Ms Locke is known for her series about families, and while Between Now and Forever is a stand-alone read, that family theme is front and center.

Gabby and her boys moved back to her hometown a year or so after a traumatic loss. Her cousin lives down the street, and they have built-in friends and a social circle to help them adapt. An unexpected development lives next door in the form of a reticent neighbor, Jay.

I enjoyed how Ms Locke had things unfold between Gabby and Jay. She gave us a front-row seat to both of them fighting their demons to try and be friends and more. Initially, Gabby seems to be further down the road regarding emotional growth, but Jay's struggles make more sense once he opens up. One of the things I most respected about this story was the weight Ms Locke gave to the feelings of Gabby's kids.

I know this is a stand-alone read, but the secondary cast of Bittersweet Circle has me curious about what might be going on in other houses!

I picked up this new to me author in book 4 of a series. That’s usually a hard spot to be because either the series is wrapping up and the author is sprinkling a million bread crumbs for past characters or there is a lot of world building as the series gets ready to go a different direction. This did not suffer from either of those fates.
Bas and Shana’s story read very much as a stand alone! Both are layered characters that were easy to embrace and root for. I appreciated the fact that she seemed to be the first person to really see him and make him want a life potentially different than what he’d had.
Since this is book 4 in a series, there is a large secondary cast made of Bas’s family (mostly), but they integrated into the story well. You could see how Shana’s presence helped mellow relationships there as well.
I had the feeling that loyal series readers would be glad to see where previous leading couples were today, but as a new reader, I had no issues navigating this entertaining historical.

3.5 stars - - Worth a Reader's Time

Review Copy Provided

Overall, an interesting read. Elizabeth, Adam, and Caroline were interesting characters. They all bring a great deal of baggage to the story.
I enjoyed getting to know them and the character that was Cliffhaven.
The mystery element here is strong and there are several convincing potential “bad” guys that could be blamed for the misfortune that haunts the house and Elizabeth in particular.

Formula Fling by Sawyer Bennett ~ New Release & Review


New Release | New Series Formula Fling (Race Fever, Book #1) Sawyer Bennett

Synopsis:

Welcome to Formula International, where legends are born and speed is king. From New York Times Bestselling Author Sawyer Bennett comes the Race Fever series, set within the fast-paced and dangerous world of formula racing. Posey Evans is looking to take her career as a romance author to the next level, shifting from historical love stories to writing about the high stakes world of formula racing. Wanting to immerse herself in the sport, Posey manages to secure full access to the Crown Velocity Racing team by faking credentials as a journalist. When she’s granted unlimited face-to-face time with one of the teams’ best drivers, Posey is equal parts elated and terrified because while she’s getting exactly what she wants, she can’t afford to have her secret exposed. Lex Hamilton lives for the thrill of being one of the fastest and most decorated race car drivers in the sport. When he’s behind the wheel, he’s focused on one thing and one thing only—earning top spot on the podium. But off the track? Let’s just say his extracurricular activities have put him on a very short leash with the team management at Crown Velocity. He’s cocky, handsome, dripping with swagger, and not super happy to have what he considers a babysitter following his every move. Lex’s unwillingness to help doesn’t deter Posey but when he uncovers her secret, they strike a deal—he won’t reveal her truth if she helps him stay out of trouble and keep his job. While many women would swoon at his feet, Posey isn’t interested in anything more than Lex’s racing knowledge. Mostly. As the season inches closer and passions ignite, time at the track leads to time in the bed. Having agreed there is an expiration date on their arrangement, what started as an assignment has the potential to go the distance as their physical relationship builds into something deeper. But when her secret is revealed, will Lex and Posey’s relationship hit a wall, or will this fling find its way to the checkered flag? Formula Fling is an opposites attract sports romance within the Race Fever series. All books in the series can be enjoyed as standalones.

A new series from Sawyer Bennett!
As a house hold with a F1 fan, it was truly entertaining to dive into this homage to a romance writing FI fan and seeing the parallels between real life and the fictional Formula International.

Posey and Lex were both fun characters and fit into the molds I would expect from a Ms Bennett book. Their meet cute was unique and I enjoyed seeing them clash and then evolve to friends and potentially more.

As this is the first book in the series, there is some definite world building. There is a solid balance here between the Lex/Posey story line and the larger community development. I am curious to see what happens as the series unfolds.

Here and Now ~ Corinne Michaels ~ Cover Reveal

 


Corinne Michaels has revealed the gorgeous cover for Here and Now!


Releasing: February 19, 2025

Cover Design: Sommer Stein, Perfect Pear Creative


I've crafted my new life in Ember Falls with two simple rules: maintain superficial relationships and always be ready to run.

But when my son's incredibly hot hockey coach Miles Anderson walks in, things get very, very complicated.

With his charming smile and our accidental dates, he's the exact opposite of any man I've ever dated. That should make saying yes to being with him simple, but nothing in my life is easy.

In fact, it's a mess.

Miles makes me smile and treats my son like his own. When we're together, I forget about my troubles and dream of a life that I will never be able to have with him.

It's only a matter of time until the past comes knocking and I'll have to leave, breaking us both in the process.
