About the Author

Dyan Layne is a nurse boss by day and the writer of edgy sensual tales by night--and on weekends. Serenity, the first book in the Red Door series, is her debut novel. She's never without her Kindle, and can usually be found tapping away at her keyboard with a hot latte and a cold Dasani Lime--and sometimes champagne. She can't sing a note, but often answers in song because isn't there a song for just about everything? Born and raised a Chicago girl, she currently lives in Tampa, Florida, and is the mother of four handsome sons and a beautiful daughter, who are all grown up now, but can still make her crazy--and she loves it that way! Because normal is just so boring.

Northern Stars

By: Brittainy C. Cherry

Release Date: September 15, 2022

Publisher: Brittainy C. Cherry

Author Website:  http://www.bcherrybooks.com/

5 Stars

Goofy and sweet eventually evolved into intense and emotional as childhood sweethearts Aiden Walters and Hailee Jones navigated the waters of attraction and true love in Northern Stars.

From the start Aiden and Hailee were destined to be with each other, it all came down to timing. As Aiden found himself skyrocketing to fame in Hollywood Hailee struggled with her self worth and being influenced by others who had their own agendas where hers and Aiden's relationship went. After some heartbreaking confrontations the two lovers found themselves separated by distance and circumstances dealing with broken hearts.

Aiden Walters saw beauty in his own unique way not influenced by what others told him. His love for Hailee was genuine and all encompassing from loving her exterior to loving her interior Aiden was a man who knew his heart and stood by it. Hailee Jones was held captive by her own misconceptions of what Aiden wanted from a partner. In the end her insecurities sabotaged the one thing she wanted more than anything, to be with Aiden. Seeing Hailee grow from a girl lacking in confidence and self-esteem to a woman who took ownership of herself was empowering and made for a great heroine. There was nothing superficial about this couple and their interactions ran a full spectrum of humorous to heartbreaking.

Brittainy C. Cherry's love of romance shows in every word she writes. The bonds between her characters are fraught with obstacles and intense feelings that leave them grasping at love even as they question it. Her characters are human and familiar, people that readers can easily relate to. Ms. Cherry's sensitivity seems boundless and it carries over beautifully as she wraps up her Compass series with Northern Stars and a wonderful HEA.

Northern Stars by Brittainy Cherry is now live!

Hollywood's biggest star first belonged to me.

Breaking up with your high school sweetheart was one thing.

Breaking up with Hollywood’s favorite actor? That was a different situation.

I’d been in love with Aiden Walters since I was a little girl. We’d grown up as neighbors in small town Wisconsin. I knew him inside and out, and he knew every single piece of me. I was there when his career took off, and I was almost certain I’d always be a part of his life.

It wasn’t until a scandal broke out that I was forced to end things with Aiden. He didn’t take it very well. The boy I once loved began to hate me. He went off to California to leave all of his past behind—including me.

Five years later, he was back in town for the next few months taking care of some family business. He was staying in the only hotel in our small town. The hotel I now oversaw. For the next few months, I’d be forced to cater to the man whose heart I’d broken all those years ago. The man who resented me. The man who swore he’d never speak to me again.

Now that he was back in town, in constant connection with me, I had to keep reminding myself daily of why I ended things with him in the first place. Otherwise, I’d find myself falling in love with him all over again. Only this time, I was certain that if I fell, he wouldn’t be willing to catch me.

The tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we should all aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a large retailer running strategy. 

Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up in Canada where I met my own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him. Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the astrological signs earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I either could never part with or could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay.

I’ve wanted to be a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my computer and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions everywhere. Now I'm getting the chance to follow that dream.

I’ll wait forever if I have to.

Pen Pal, an all-new riveting dark story full of twists and turns from international bestselling author J.T. Geissinger is live now!

The first letter arrived the day my husband was buried. It was postmarked from the state penitentiary, and contained a single sentence:

I’ll wait forever if I have to.

It was signed by Dante, a man I didn’t know.

Out of simple curiosity, I wrote back to ask him what exactly he was waiting for. His reply?

You.

I told the mystery man he had the wrong girl. He said he didn’t. I said we’d never met, but he said I was wrong.

We went back and forth, exchanging letters every week that grew increasingly more intimate. Then one day, the letters stopped.

When I found out why, it was already too late.

Dante was at my doorstep.
And nothing on earth could have prepared me for what happened next.

All I need is a place to hide for a few weeks.

The paparazzi were on my ass 24/7 and I needed a bit of breathing room—an escape from the madness—before the media frenzy begins.

Sure, I could have gone to a secluded cabin in the woods—but I didn’t want to be bored out of my mind. I’d seen enough wide open spaces as a kid from Texas to last me a lifetime.

So instead, I let my agent hook me up with a modest house in the burbs where we didn’t think anyone would find me hiding in plain sight.

I’d have a roommate; but supposedly, she was going to give me space. Stay out of my way and respect my boundaries. According to my agent, I wouldn’t hear a peep from her.

Wrong. He was wrong about everything and now my life was never going to be the same.

A Remarkable Rogue

By: Anna Harrington

Release Date: July 26, 2022

Publisher: Sourcebooks Casablanca

Author Website: https://www.annaharringtonbooks.com/

5 Stars

Anna Harrington brings all the riveting intrigue, suspense and love readers have come to expect in book 5 of her Lords of the Armory series, A Remarkable Rogue, for a great read!

Quiet and solitary Captain Nathaniel Reed kept to himself cloaked in mystery and bound by his tragic past. Filled with pain he got through life but did not live it. Lady Sydney Rowland found solace in her escape from a painful past even while she isolated herself and kept her emotions well contained in an effort not to be hurt.

Both Nate and Sydney longed for love even as they cut themselves off from receiving it. This writer did a great job of conveying how well suited this couple were for each other in spite of their reluctance to take a chance with each other. Between their shared stubbornness and deadly secrets Nate and Sydney were their own worse enemies in an arena full of formidable ones. This pair's fears were ones that most readers would be able to relate to, both the real ones and the imagined ones, making this couple extremely interesting and accessible. Nate and Sydney's steamy attraction was unmistakable and often poignant adding another element to this pair being a good fit.

The overarching plot of Scepter's dark machinations to overthrow the English monarchy was done expertly and with no shortage of action and suspense. Ms. Harrington's storytelling shines in her Lords of the Armory series. Filled with memorable heroes and villains every installment in this series is well written and intriguing.

There are authors you follow and there are authors you love, Anna Harrington is an author to love. With a keen sense of history and an intuitive understanding of the human heart Ms. Harrington presents a combination impossible to resist to her readers. It cannot be emphasized enough that this writer is able to effortlessly bring history to her modern readers without compromising the integrity of the period she is depicting with current sensibilities. She portrays strong women even while showing the confines and trials of the time they lived in for realistic stories while still managing to display all the charm and tingles readers would expect from a romance. A Remarkable Rogue is just what every romance lover craves told in Anna Harrington's signature fabulous storytelling!

Boyfriend Material

By: Ilsa Madden Mills

Release Date: July 25, 2022

Publisher: Ilsa Madden Mills

Author Website: https://www.ilsamaddenmills.com/

5 Stars

Boyfriend Material, the second book in Ilsa Madden-Mills Hawthorne University series, is a romance that lets readers see that sometimes when bad things happen to good people they can rise to the top and get the happiness they deserve!

Eric Hansen, college hockey star and popular, on the surface it would seem that the world was at his feet and he had it all together, yet upon looking closer his standing was on fragile ground.  This character vacillated as both the savior and the one needing saving as he walked that narrow margin teetering precariously from one side to the other. At first glance Eric's actions could often be construed as selfish and entitled but as readers were given a closer look at him there was so much more to Eric and his hero status solidified. Julia Lauren was an incredibly brave character. Her capacity to survive and see beyond her own problems was commendable, but it was her maturity in taking charge and understanding and not judging others struggles to the best of her ability that made her stand out.

Eric and Julia had a past that evolved into one of avoidance and secrets. While neither knew the personal burdens of the other or what made them make the decisions that put them where they were in the here and now their reconnection gave them a second chance at a missed opportunity with each other. Grappling with a tainted friendship and fighting their physical attraction this couple had a lot to overcome. Between Julia dealing with being a social pariah and crushing responsibilities and Eric giving up his dreams in a misconceived sense of duty to his family there was a lot to overcome both individually and as a couple for this pair. With a significant amount of self-sabotaging and an uphill battle with defeatism Eric and Julia's relationship was tested often for some heart wrenching moments. A great secondary cast rounded out this work.

Everyone has a story to tell and when characters are fortunate enough to have Ilsa Madden-Mills tell theirs readers can be assured of a work worthy of every hurdle her portrayals face and every laugh and tear that accompanies their journey. This author has the uncanny ability to tackle tough subjects even while allowing her audience to walk away feeling that they just experienced something special where good ultimately does overcome all in the end. Kindness and insight always manage to rise to the occasion in this writer's books making her stories that much better for it. Boyfriend Material shows that if any author could make you fall in love with a book it is Ilsa Madden-Mills!

Glorified hockey star.

Thinks he’s amazing.

The Golden Boy and I are well acquainted. In prep school he trampled on my heart then kept right on going.

Now, he’s living the high life with frat parties and puck bunnies at Hawthorne University. On the other hand, people barely notice me—unless I’m on stage taking my clothes off. I’m the nobody, surviving in the seedy part of town as I fight to keep my head above treacherous waters.

I’ve snubbed him for three years.

The avoidance game we’ve been playing was working—until he rescues me from a bad guy and claims he wants to help me more.

Hello. I don’t need a knight in shining armor. This girl saves herself.

Yet, I’m not sure how long I can ignore the undeniable spark between us. (It’s not even a spark; it’s a full-fledged, blazing fire.)

Can this hockey player prove he’s boyfriend material, or will our past get in the way?

This steamy romance is perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers or second-chances. Boyfriend Material is a new adult college romance.

Hold Me Close

By: Siobhan Davis

Release Date: June 30, 2020

Publisher: Siobhan Davis

Author Website: http://siobhandavis.co.uk/

5 Stars

Siobhan Davis takes on Easton and Bohdi Lancaster O’Donoghue’s sensitive coming of age years in Hold Me Close, book three in the All of Me series, for a compassionate and trying story. At a time in life with its fair share of angst under normal circumstances this author awakened past histories full of tragedy and secrets setting off an emotional powder keg. This was a touching update that did not hold back on the festering hurt and the repercussions of a past where Easton and Bodhi were innocent of but paid the price for the sins of their parents. With insight and astute observations this author led readers through volatile times and made everyone better for facing their truths and shared pain.

One of the amazing things about Siobhan Davis is that she keeps in touch with her characters with periodic check-ins. It is all too common when readers become attached to beloved characters that they are left in a perpetual limbo, left to their own imaginations to figure out how characters have moved on and evolved. Epilogues are great but often miss all the details that readers crave and make no doubt it keep them up many a night pondering the fates of portrayals they have grown to love. This is rarely the case with Ms. Davis and that shows not only her devotion to her portrayals but her readers. Still full of the unexpected twists readers have come to expect from this author, Hold Me Close is the next chapter not to be missed by Siobhan Davis!

The Devil You Know by Elizabeth O'Roark is now live!

There's a devil on my shoulder, and every Monday morning she announces herself. She's this delicious flame in my chest, a flurry of whispered suggestions in my ear. Suggestions I ignore...because every single one of them is about Ben Tate.

Ben—Stealer of Clients, Evicter of Homeless Women, Nemesis. Sitting across from me every damn Monday with his lovely, smug smile and his too-perfect teeth, the living symbol of everything I hate.

It's been my policy to avoid him, but when a case comes into the firm—one that could change his career and mine—I make an exception. It means weekends and evenings by his side. It means enduring his smirk and his smart mouth and never taking the bait.

Until the night Ben says "Beg"...and that devil on my shoulder decides to make a few demands of her own.

The Devil You Know

By: Elizabeth O’Roark

Release Date: June 23, 2022

Publisher: Elizabeth O’Roark

Author Website: https://www.elizabethoroark.com/

5 Stars

Ben Tate was anything but the devil you know and proved it for a wonderful addition to Elizabeth O'Roark's Devil series!

To most hotshot lawyer Ben Tate seemed like a player with little to no remorse and out for himself. Charming and clever everything seemed to come easy to him except the one thing he wanted. Ben was a character who hid behind an exterior that kept him cut off even while he was very much involved. As his noble attributes were slowly revealed it was hard not to fall in love with him. Driven, talented and focused lawyer Gemma Charles found herself in a constant uphill battle to distinguish herself and to be treated as an equal in a male dominated field. With a past full of betrayals Gemma was a survivor who managed not only to not become jaded and cynical but to find ways to do good. Both Ben and Gemma were more alike than either bargained for.

This couple's give and take was a dizzy rush of fabulousness. Each time they entered a chapter there was chemistry to spare with a whole lot of past coloring the present. Ben and Gemma's dance around each other, even while succumbing to their attraction, was a real feat to carry off and Ms. O'Roark did so beautifully. So many of this pair's interactions were interpreted at face value by them instead of the deeper meaning this couple were trying to express, leaving both Ben and Gemma on a journey of discovery that moved this story well. The witty and heated exchanges in this relationship were fantastic, giving depth to this pair as well as a nice balance between casual and intense moments. Ben and Gemma's angst and longing was a clear shot to readers’ emotions and made for an absorbing and all encompassing read.

Elizabeth O'Roark is a writer who has always delivered great stories and continues to do so. Her knack for decoding the misunderstood in dynamic scenarios leaving trails of tears littered with laughs all destined for HEA's is a true talent. With an admirable ease she tackles some difficult walls put up by her portrayals and every one of her stories is as wonderful as the last one.

Ridge McCallister. 

King of the junkyard. God of the gridiron. Cypress Springs’ beloved bad boy. 

With just a wink and a smile, he has most girls at his beck and call. Good thing I’m immune to his (debatable) charms.

Don’t get me wrong, he is beautiful. With the body of a Greek god and the face of a fallen angel, who could resist? 

Too bad he’s so… Ridge. Every time he opens his mouth, I want to punch him. Or kiss him. 

No, I don’t want that. Not at all. Not even a little bit.

Yet here I am in a no-strings-attached summer fling with the guy I love to hate, and my traitorous heart is calling the shots. 

The problem is he’s a wreck, and I’m ruined. And as anyone can tell you, when wrecked meets ruined things tend to get… messy. 

Make no mistake about it. 

We are going to destroy each other.

When Wrecked Meets Ruined

By: Emery Rose

Release Date: June 9, 2022

Publisher: Emery Rose

Author Website: https://authoremeryrose.com/

5 Stars

When Wrecked Meets Ruined will break your heart even as you piece it back together with Emery Rose's compassionate writing for an amazing experience.

For all his outgoing charm Ridge McCallister carried as much pain as potential struggling with his dysfunction brought on by a tragic childhood. If one person understood Ridges inner demons it was Evie Bellamy who had more on her plate than she could handle but somehow she managed to muddle through the chaos and cruelty that bombarded her on a daily basis. Covered in emotional armor and surrounded by walls Ridge and Evie's desperation for kindness and love made their road to happiness a hard one even in moments where it seemed they might just let themselves accept each other's love. Their emotional scars often made their attempt to love feel like they were grasping at the unobtainable.

When two people come from similar experiences it can be bonding or a complete disaster, RIdge and Evie's experienced a combination of the two, driving this story with angst and a true love that would not die proving it was meant to be. From tragic to triumphant there was little that did not elicit real feelings from this pair and readers alike. As can be expected from Ms. Rose tears were plentiful as Ridge and Evie found their way through life and to each other. Their relationship one where timing played a significant part, always the right person at the wrong time except for small pockets of perfect opportunities. 

Ms. Rose does not make love easy. She makes her characters fight for their love and in kind she finds a way for them to get their happily ever after. There are no perfect lives on her pages but she sees hope and gives it even as her portrayals darkest moments surround them. With insightful writing the scope of this author's emotions is as vast as they are deep. When Wrecked Met Ruined delivers a hard earned love for a beautiful story.

*While part of a series this work can be read as a stand-alone but for an overall enhanced reading experience reading the previous books in this series is recommended.

Mr. Notting Hill

By: Louise Bay

Release Date: June 7, 2022

Publisher: Louise Bay

Author Website: https://louisebay.com

4.5 Stars

It is always fun to dig a little deeper into a stand out character and Louise Bay did just that in Mr. Notting Hill with Tristan's story.

Cyber genius and seemingly perpetual bachelor Tristan Dubrow was hard to pin down when it came to romance, that is until he literally crashed into feisty Parker Frazer. When a scheme to help Parker resulted in a fake marriage all bets were off. This pair was what happens when two eyes of a storm collide and their energy and attraction was insane. Each had emotional baggage that they avoided in their own ways and their attraction unlocked a Pandora's box of issues even while it gave them the opportunity to finally be free of their self imposed burdens. For all the great humorous moments in this work they were contrasted extremely well with generous doses of angst. A well devised suspense component and some undercover match making added to this story and served as a way to bring these two reluctant lovers their happy end game.

Louise Bay is so intuitive when it comes to her portrayals bringing genuine characters to her works that stand out with their versatility. There is always a nice mix of sensitivity played off of wit. This author excels in showing loyalty and camaraderie in her books. The depth of her works creates stories that are as endearing as they are captivating. Mr. Notting Hill concludes a great series on a high note and a fond farewell!

Wicked Beauty

By: Katee Robert

Release Date: June 7, 2022

Publisher: Sourcebooks Casablanca

Author Website: https://www.kateerobert.com/

5 Stars

Katee Roberts takes well-established classic characters and makes them her own with fantastical twists and what ifs in Wicked Beauty, book three in her Dark Olympus series!

This story was full of suspense, intrigue and a whole lot of steam! Demolishing the status quo Ms. Roberts took the license that dealing with mythical characters affords and gave her audience a story that commanded her reader’s attention with her out of the box interpretations and modernization. The action scenes were off the rails and will keep readers on the edge of their seats! With well thought out character development every interaction was as interesting as it was spicy. From the start Wicked Beauty was impossible to put down.

At no point in this work was there a question of what there was to love about Achilles, Patroclus and Helen. Each character brought something to the table that amplified as a group. Achilles and Patroclus were friends and lovers that walked a fine line that both were careful to keep in place even though they both felt something was missing. Helen proved to be the perfect catalyst for change and when the three succumbed to their instinctive connection there was no doubt that they had reached the place they were meant to be.

Threesomes are not easy relationships to write without losing sight of someone along the way but Ms. Roberts managed to give all the characters involved equal status. This relationship's evolution was spectacular to watch and felt genuine even in its most emotionally confused stages. Compromises were in fact wins and the complicated dynamics of Achilles, Patroclus and Helen was done well as they went through the process of figuring out their roles to move forward as an intimate committed trio. While each person in the trio grappled with whether they could work as a relationship there was never any ambiguity as to the attraction they felt for each other in any capacity keeping a nice tension throughout this work. This writer was able to adeptly make smart alignments of her characters based on their strengths and weaknesses for a perfect trifecta.

Katee Roberts always explores interesting aspects of her characters taking them from their own comfort zones and testing their boundaries. With lively dialog and some heart racing physical encounters this book did not let up. Seeing strengths in all their forms is a great ability to have and Ms. Roberts makes all her portrayals formidable in their own way. Wicked Beauty is a book not to be missed!
