SYNOPSIS: Nine years ago, Weston Madigan saved me. I came to Colorado penniless, heartbroken, and pregnant, searching for a fresh start. Weston gave me a job at his family’s resort, then left the next day and never returned, not even to visit. Then I stumble in on Weston cooking breakfast shirtless—gloriously, inappropriately shirtless—in the shared kitchen of my duplex in employee housing. Given the shock on both our faces, he wasn’t expecting a roommate either, let alone two. The growly pilot is only home to start his family’s new heli-skiing operation. I can handle being his temporary roommate, right? Chemistry and attraction aren’t impossible to ignore when you agree on ground rules. Besides, even with those gorgeous, brooding brown eyes, the guy is a walking thundercloud…until my daughter, Sutton, makes him laugh and he smiles at me. Then everything changes. Cue inconvenient heart flip. This is only temporary. I can’t fall for Weston. I. Will. Not. Fall. For. Weston. But rules go out the window when you’re a little too close.
From USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Yarros comes a small town, single parent romance.
REVIEW: I knew I was going to like this one. Rebecca Yarros does such a good job with these types of books, and I have been loving her books lately! Not to mention, I loved the last series these three did together, and knew I needed the Madigan brothers in my life. Their backstory and how they’re all in very different places in life is so intriguing to me. I like how buttoned up Weston was, and how Callie and Sutton help him break out of that shell. It’s neat to find out how these two first met, and see everything come full circle. Weston definitely has hard time realizing his true feelings, but man does it make that ending that much more satisfying.

SYNOPSIS: “I’ll take them!” That’s what I tell the social worker when my pre-k student and his baby brother need an emergency foster placement. I’ll do anything to keep the brothers from being split up. But my apartment’s flooded and there’s only one house I can take them to on such short notice…his. Knox Daniels, my older brother’s best friend, offers his new place without hesitation. He’s not moving back to our tiny town until next month—that’s when all our hotshot firefighters are returning for their one and only chance to rebuild our fathers’ fallen, iconic crew. It doesn’t matter that I’ve been silently in love with Knox since we were kids. It can’t matter that we pretend that reckless prom night kiss never happened. It won’t matter that my feelings for him could destroy his lifelong friendship with my brother and threaten the certification of their hotshot crew. Because I’ll be out of his house long before he gets back. Except Knox just walked in…a month early. And the icing on this awkward cake? He’s gorgeous as always and I’m covered in baby puke. He takes one look at the boys and tells me we can make this work— We can temporarily fake a relationship to keep them from being separated by the system. Suddenly, everything matters.
REVIEW: This story made me feel all of the freaking emotions! As soon as I read the blurb for this book, I knew I needed to read it. It did not disappoint in any way. Rebecca Yarros is so good at giving the reader an emotional ride between characters. Even when they go through really difficult situations, and don’t handle things well, I’m completely invested in the situation and what’s gonna happen to the characters in this book! I also love a good brother’s best friend romance, and this one definitely was a great example of the trope. Oh, Harper stole my heart. The chemistry between her and Knox from the very first scene we get of them is just so good. Then seeing her care for Liam and Jamie, I just fell absolutely head over heels for her as a main character. Between her taking care of kids, the way the forced proximity happens, and the heart ache they go through, I was 100% in love with the story. I loved all the side characters as well and so I’m really excited to see where the story series goes!!

SYNOPSIS: Leif – The world knows me as Leif in Wanderlust, travel blogger. Through the lens of my camera, I take my followers along as I vacation in some of the most beautiful places all over the world. Sure, it can get lonely, but I’m literally living everyone’s best life and loving every second of it. Until I’m hired for a job in Brigs Ferry Bay, Maine, where I meet a local diner owner, Fernando. One steamy night together turns into two, and two… turns into a week of bliss. Our instant connection leaves me questioning my motives for why I do what I do. Am I replacing meaningful relationships with the approval of strangers? And why can’t I get Fernando out of my head?
Fernando – Tourist season in Brigs Ferry Bay is the best season when your number one rule is to not sleep with the locals. Small towns get six degrees of incestuous if you’re not careful. So when a sexy travel blogger with a nerdy vibe struts into my diner, I call dibs. He’s the perfect distraction from the dumpster fire that is my life right now, since Pops was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I didn’t expect to actually like the guy or miss him after he went on his way. But I do, and I can’t stop the intrusive thoughts telling me what we have is more than lust. Now my biggest problem is convincing a wanderer to stay in one place with me. I’m the cat, he’s the mouse. Game on.
Brigs Ferry Bay is a steamy MM romance series. While each book can be read as a standalone, in order to get the full experience, they’re best read in order. Enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, hurt comfort, age-gap romance, and so much more. Fall in love with the charming small-town gay romances of Brigs Ferry Bay…
Review: I’m really enjoying the Briggs Ferry Bay series, because all of the characters have so much depth. There’s so much going on in their lives that impact them. I love seeing the characters from each book pop up in the different books. I also like that I feel a lot of emotion and am completely invested in how these characters will find their happy ever after! every single one definitely deserves that HEA! Leif was such an interesting character with how he handled what happened to him and how successful he became. I really enjoyed the fact that him and Fernando just clicked in their connection. The chemistry was steamy! Fernando is so wonderful, he does so much for everyone else, and it makes him extremely endearing. The way these to go back-and-forth, and yet show up for each other, is really heartwarming. The end of this book and the end of Callan’s Atlas made me so freaking excited for the next books in the series. I cannot wait for Zac’s story from K Webster and Ricky’s story from Misty Walker!

SYNOPSIS: When we moved from New York to Maine, life was supposed to get easier, not harder. Change, for me, was difficult. I became the target of terrible crimes that resulted in sending a once-beloved man of the community to prison for a very long time. Now that I’m eighteen, I could move back to the Big Apple, but fear has me rooted in place. I hate what that monster did to me. Looks like I’m stuck here for good. Brigs Ferry Bay’s unhappiest gay. Each day, the darkness closes in around me more and more.Black clothes. Black mood. Black thoughts. Black eyeliner. The color in my life bled from me months ago and never came back. Until him. Atlas Larson. Newest cop on the BFB police force. Too hot. Too strong. Too old for me. Too…everything. Atlas is a rebellious, bossy, mouthy brute who likes to provoke me. Every encounter starts with heat and ends with an argument. Color begins sneaking back into my world little by little. He reminds me of who I once was and shows me who I’m meant to be. I crave to leave this town once and for all. But now that I’ve found the courage to do it, the arrogant jerk with a badge might find a way to keep me here and in his arms forever.

Review: I was really excited to get Callan’s story after seeing everything that happened in to him in Sheriff’s Secret. I feel like Callan has been through too much, so he definitely deserves a happy ending. This one’s definitely a little sexier, with lots of details and kink. Not to mention, you get a little bit of danger and mystery with the romantic suspense aspect as well! Atlas is the perfect mixture of protective but also supportive. He treats Callan like an adult, which is so different from Callan’s family and friends. They’re just worried about him and a little over protective of him, and for good reason after what has happened, but it’s not helping him get past it. It’s nice to see him find himself again. I also really enjoyed Callan’s love of art! His colors and his outfits just put a smile on my face. There is quite the age-gap, but these two just work together!

What books are included?
Release Date: September 20, 2015
Blurb: To touch a Dark One is death. To talk to an immortal is suicide. Yet, I’ve been marked by both. A Vampire. And the King of the immortals. My life is no longer my own. And now I know the truth, my life was never mine to begin with. It was theirs. It’s always been theirs.

Blurb:Nothing good comes after the third date. Date three is the crucial point when things get real, which is exactly why I bounce out the door, twiddling my fingers at whatever poor boy I’ve left behind. Because if I stick around, one of three things will happen: he’ll profess his undying love, he’ll get weird and stalky, or I’ll go crazy. Like, Sid and Nancy crazy. Like, chase-him-through-the-streets-begging-him-to-love-me crazy. Seriously, it’s better for everyone this way. So when I meet Bodie, I figure it’ll be the same as it ever was. It doesn’t matter that he doesn’t put a single string on me. Doesn’t matter that he’s funny and smart and jacked or that he can play my body like a grand piano. Because even though I’m built for love, love has only carved me up like a Christmas ham. Resistance is something I can only hang on to for so long, and he has persistence in spades. But my heart isn’t as safe as I want to believe, and neither is his. And the second I ignore my cardinal rule is the second I stand to lose him forever.
sTACI HART
Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life: a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can’t forget that. She’s also been a mom to three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She’s been a wife, even though she’s certainly not the cleanest, nor is she the best cook. She’s also super, duper fun at a party–especially if she’s been drinking whiskey–and her favorite word starts with f and ends with k. From roots in Houston to a seven year stint in Southern California, Staci and her family ended up settling somewhere in between and equally north in Denver, where snow is magic and the mountains have become home. When she’s not writing, she’s reading, gaming, or designing graphics.
King: Homeless. Hungry. Desperate. Doe has no memories of who she is or where she comes from. A notorious career criminal just released from prison, King is someone you don’t want to cross unless you’re prepared to pay him back in blood, sweat, sex or a combination of all three. King’s future hangs in the balance. Doe’s is written in her past. When they come crashing together, they will have to learn that sometimes in order to hold on, you have to first let go.
Tyrant: I. Remember. Everything. But the relief I thought I would feel never comes, and I’m more afraid now than I was the morning I woke up handcuffed in King’s bed. Because with the truth comes dark secrets I was never meant to know. I will put the lives of those I love most at risk if I let on that my memory has returned, or if I seek help from the heavily tattooed felon who owns me body and soul. I don’t know if I’m strong enough to resist the magnetic pull toward King that grows stronger every day. He’s already saved me in more ways than one. Now it’s my turn to do whatever it takes to save him. Even if that means marrying someone else…

T.M. enjoys writing what she calls ‘wrong side of the tracks romance’ with morally corrupt anti-heroes and ballsy heroines. Her books have been described as raw, dark and gritty. Basically, what that means, is while some authors are great at describing a flower as it blooms, T.M. is better at describing it in the final stages of decay. She loves meeting her readers, but if you see her at an event please don’t pinch her because she’s not ready to wake up from this amazing dream.
Blurb: I’d dated his brother. He didn’t remember and I wish I could forget. I may have sworn off the Wright family a long time ago. But when I returned home, Jensen Wright crashed into my life with the confidence of a billionaire CEO and the sex appeal of a god. Even I couldn’t resist our charged chemistry, or the way he fit into my life like a missing puzzle piece. Too bad he’d forgotten the one thing that could destroy us. Because Jensen Wright doesn’t share. Not with anyone. And if his brother finds out, this could all go down in flames. When it all was said and done, was he the Wright brother?
