“What a Book!!! So many questions still to answer and I CAN’T wait for more.” ★★★★★ LoverOfBooks80


“Every turn of the page had me asking , “ what’s going to happen next “. Such a great read.” ★★★★★ Angela


I should have known that this was coming…
I’d done the right things, chosen the right friends, kept my grades up, primped and primed and smiled when I was supposed to, and then I escaped the clutches of the man they’d chosen for me. What. An. Idiot.
Or not, I suppose.
If I spend the year at Pendleton Prep, I can go back on my merry way. The problem is that life here is not exactly what I expected.
I’m not just another student, here to serve her time and get out. Oh no, that would never do. I’ve been wrapped up and served on a platter for the Devils of Pendleton Prep.
They’re hot, stupidly hot, and involved in something I want nothing to do with.
More than one of them has her set in their sights, but she’s already entangled in the world of the elite, they just don’t realise it yet. Where nine begin, only three will end… how far will they go to secure their place?


H.L Packer is, quite frankly, a busy bee.
An avid reader as a child, her love for all things written waned into adulthood, the excitement of real life things taking over. But when her life slowed down as she finished her office job for maternity leave, her husband purchased her an e-reader, and that obsession was rekindled.
Quickly she went from reader to reviewer, and then from reviewer to blogger; street teams and promo tours galore. When she began collating her own book boxes over at Romance Readers Book Box UK and had the opportunity to include her own words and worlds, the characters began talking.
Those cheeky characters quickly found themselves written down on the page, and her first series was in progress.
When she is not coordinating her worlds, you can find her running around after her free-spirited three children, and husband, or tending to the dogs, bearded dragons, and snakes that also reside with them.
A break can be found soaking in a bubble bath or enjoying a glass of wine, often still with a book in her hand.

Genre: New Adult Romance
Tropes: Second Chance/Secret Baby/Sports
Release Date: May 11, 2023
Alone—
That was my life even before my mother died. Until I found my father and a sister with the life I should have had. I know my heart had a time limit.
Putting my plans on hold, I enrolled in college, and inserted myself into my sister’s life.
What could go wrong?
Evidently a lot. I didn’t count on her wanting to be friends. Or the guy across the street to end up in my bed. Relationships were not on my bucket list and I hate they all make me want more…more fun, more family, more love.
Should I give them the little time I have left or continue on with my plans to travel the world?

Elizabeth Hayes lives in the Midwest with her husband, two kids.

She keeps busy with her gang of pets that include, dogs, cats, chickens, ducks and pigs. And is an avid houseplant collector.

Elara:

As an infant, I was abandoned on the steps of a church.

My childhood was spent in an abusive foster home.

At nineteen, I killed someone.

 

Not long after, three men in black cloaks kidnap me and whisk me through a magical portal to a world I never knew existed. A world they say is my home. But the enchanting realm of Celestria is in turmoil. A dark enemy has infiltrated the land and is attempting to seize control. The last hope of the people of Celestria is locating Changelings in the mortal world… like me.

 

Yet an assessment of my magic leads to a shocking revelation. Someone used a powerful spell to suppress my powers. But who? And why?

 

Prince Kage Dargan:

The moment I see her, my world pauses.

Though we’ve never met, the girl is familiar to me.

Since I was a boy… she has visited me in my dreams.

 

Even so, I can’t let my guard down around her. The last Changeling I trusted tried to kill me. Besides, my attraction to her is a temptation I can’t risk. My parents arranged my upcoming marriage years ago and breaking that pact could have steep consequences.

 

Still, I have to wonder why the girl from my dreams has finally appeared. Is it fate? Or something far more sinister?

Cameo was born in San Francisco, raised in Maui, Hawaii, and now resides with her husband in Las Vegas. She is a dreamer and caffeine addict who loves to laugh and loves to read to escape reality.

One of her greatest satisfactions is creating fantasy worlds filled with adventure and romance. It is the love and incredible support of her family and fans that keeps her going. One day she hopes to uncover a magic wardrobe and ride away on a unicorn. Until then . . . she’ll keep writing!

You can’t help who you love…even if it is your ex-boyfriend’s older brother.
 
I had no idea our breakup wouldn’t be the worst part of my day when I went home that night. Or that kissing the brother of my ex at a funeral wouldn’t bring me any comfort.
The plan was to start over. A fresh start, far away from them both, and everyone else who cared about me.
Nothing is ever as easy as it should be.
I was still the same old me, and my fractured heart wasn’t prepared for a tumble down memory lane with the same people—and feelings—that I was running from.
Colton Dawson was off limits, or he should have been. Yet, the heart wants what it wants…and mine wants Colton.
But how can I stay away when his world keeps colliding with mine?
 
 
 
 

Nice guys finish last. Words I live by. In my world, it pays to be the bad guy…and I’m very good at being bad.
I have a thriving business built on blood, sweat and tears—literally. Underground fights are my bread and butter, and no one interferes with that if they know what’s good for them.
Not even some expensive-looking blonde, with blue eyes and a mouth that doesn’t know when to stop.
Babysitting Lela Morgan starts out as a favour to a “friend,” but the longer I’m forced to look out for her, the harder it is to keep my hands to myself.
And the more I want her, the crueller my words become. Because if there’s one thing in my dangerous world I cannot afford, it’s going soft.
For the first time in my life, I’m close to losing control. The harder I push her away, the harder she pushes my buttons.
But she’s tougher than she looks, and she’s not going down without a fight.
Could it be that enemies make the best lovers?



Opposites attract…and we’re complete opposites in every way.
Hope Walker is quiet, studious and someone I have overlooked for far too long. But when I crash her study session in the library it’s clear she knows exactly who I am.
It would seem that my playboy reputation precedes me, and for once, I wish it wouldn’t.
Because the more I get to know the girl hiding behind the books, the more I want her.
After she helps my friends and I out, I wonder how I could have been so blind to what’s been right in front of me all along.
My friends are my family, like brothers, but our bond is stronger than blood—and that bond is currently being tested.
When a dangerous enemy threatens to take her away from me, I will do anything to keep her safe. Even get my hands dirty…and lie to my brothers.
When the truth catches up with me, will it break our bond for good?


There’s no rest for the wicked…or a single father.
I should know. I’m getting a crash course in parenthood. Lela has left…and I don’t know where she is.
I’m left picking up the pieces and learning to balance being a wicked alpha and a new father.
In my line of work, weakness is a death sentence.
The sharks are circling—and they’re out for blood. My blood.
But if they think I’ve gone soft, they’re about to get a rude awakening.
Because if there’s one thing I do know, it’s that this dark soul never loses.
When an old adversary returns to collect a debt, bringing new temptations…will it cost me everything?

Title: Give it a Whirl
Author: Kayt Miller
Genre: Contemporary Romance/New Adult Romance
Release Date: February 23, 2023

**Slow Burn Alert**
Need a romance with a nice, slow burn? This friends-to-lovers story is the one for you! If you don’t, maybe this one will change your mind because Matilda and Alec, well, they’re perfect for each other. Perfectly opposite and perfect friends, until they’re not. Happy Reading!
Matilda Conklin is always a personal attendant, never a bride. Even in her favorite cousin’s wedding, she’s been relegated to errand running. No matter, Matilda is able to see the bright side of things. Not because she’s an eternal optimist, although, that helps.
Nope. It’s because she understands how short life is and that there’s no use whining about stupid stuff like terrible maids-of-honor or how she has to learn the waltz to please her cousin.
Matilda knows there’s always a silver lining. This one just happens to be muscled and six-feet-tall plus of silver lining.
 
Alec Marchesani can’t dance. Nor does he want to. Ever. But, here he is, forced by his stupid brother to learn the waltz.
The waltz! The only bright spot in this entire sh*t show is the quirky girl next to him. She’s a bit too sunshiny for Alec––you know, too optimistic—but that’s okay. She’s funny, and if there’s one thing Alec Marchesani needs in his life, it’s some funny.
Maybe learning the waltz won’t be so bad.

 

Kayt grew up in the midwest surrounded by a loving family, which included three brothers, one sister, and parents who always fostered her creative side.

She wrote her first book when she couldn’t find a story about a certain type of a woman and a specific kind of man. She called it “Game Changer,” and in couldn’t have been a more appropriate title. It changed her life in many ways.

Her author goal is to write stories that romance readers can relate to, while making readers laugh and sometime shed a tear or two. Kayt hopes her readers can escape into a fantasy, one that’s actually possible.

Sure, some of the stories are dubbed “insta-love,” but that’s okay. She fell in love with her husband pretty damn fast and with her daughter the second she saw her.
