  She made a devil's bargain to save her job, but now there's a demon sharing her bed... Vale, Hollywood’s newest demon heartthrob, promised never to return home to Winter Bliss. Until his movie’s press tour forces him back. One drunken night with friends leads to the destruction of a historic statue, landing him a 90-day probation. Stuck at home with his premiere looming, Vale’s career is in jeopardy. His only hope? Convincing a therapist to play the role of a lifetime–his devoted wife. But only in front of the cameras. Coco may be human, but she’s brilliant when it comes to treating magical disorders. Connecting with demons though…not so much.

As they navigate the holiday season, a spark of attraction ignites, threatening to turn their fake relationship into something dangerously real. In a town built on bargains and se...

  Join Cole and Queenie in Kentucky for a trip almost beneath the ground in a hole dug by her own two hands. My Review I really like this new series by H.N. Readers who like their book boyfriends to be dark and unhinged, will want to read this quickie book. This book is darker than the first book in this series. So, tuck yourself in and get comfy and read this book.  The way that Cole took Queenie when he first came upon her in the grave! Queenie has some sass to her. Which just added to the story. The contract that Cole makes Queenie sign, um I would sign too. Even if it is just for one night. Cole and Queenie share a few more steamy scenes. 

  When you're snowed in with your bodyguard… Hiding out from the paparazzi while her family does damage control, Fiona and her royal guard, Westley, are snowed in at her family’s holiday home. While she’s always been in love with Wes, she’s never admitted her affection for him, fearing she could lose the only person she trusts. In a twist of fate, Westley has been harboring the same forbidden feelings. When everything is laid on the table, do they choose their royal responsibilities or risk everything for a chance at a happily ever after together? My Review Ooh, I loved this spicy story. A forced proximity/bodyguard romance is right up my alley. If I had to be snowed in with someone, I too would want it to be Wes. This is one book that you are going to want to read. Fiona and Wes may be snowed in but there is plenty of heat between these two! Fiona had a cheeky, flirty side to her that I love. For example, the grocery list she made and the "extra" items she put on the lis...

  Turns out there’s a  very  fine line between fighting and foreplay… Birdie’s life is in perfect order. She has a Christmas tree farm to run, animals to rescue, and an idyllic small-town wedding on the books. Everything is going her way. Until her fiancé jilts her at the altar. But as surprising as that is, it’s nothing compared to her sexy demon frenemy offering his, um, comfort in her time of need… Rex is a bit of a savant when it comes to screwing up. That might explain why he picks fights with Birdie when all he really wants is to pull her into his arms. When fate gives him a second chance with the one who got away, he’s not about to squander it. Now all he has to do is convince her he’s good for more than an enemies-with-benefits arrangement… Can the holiday season—along with some magically-mandated community service (don’t ask)—put Birdie and Rex on the path to happily ever after? A Frenemy In Need is a  steamy monster romance  about a disaster of a ...

  It’s lust at first sight when Chad, a hat-tipping park ranger meets Iggy, a double-horned, bargain-striking demoness. After a quick passionate encounter, Chad wants more, but when he asks for Iggy’s number, she turns him down flat. Chad is crushed, but Iggy doesn't give him a second thought as she reunites with a couple of old friends for a night of drunken mischief that lands the three of them in trouble. Released on probation, she has no one to turn to until Chad shows up at her door. It doesn't take long for Iggy to realize the dimple-cheeked park ranger can help her avoid jail if he gives her a way to complete her community service. He lifts his right hand and swears an oath to do just that. Now, Iggy is an unwilling volunteer, and Chad is her court-approved compliance officer. Sure, it means they’re living and working together, but it doesn’t mean they should give into the off-the-charts chemistry that keeps sparking between them. My Review I love a feisty woman or demon...

  It's Christmas and Hailey is headed to Montana with her friends Kelsey and Lexi. After a roller coaster of a semester, Hailey is hoping the mountain air will bring about rest and relaxation. Instead, snow, parents and three guys turn their quiet mountain Christmas into an unforgettable adventure. A Very Hailey Holiday  is the second book in an interconnected standalone, new adult contemporary romance series. This is an open-door romance with a guaranteed HFN ending. My Review It was fun to visit with Hailey, Kelsey, and Lexi. I did not realize how much I missed these three until I read this book. It was nice to see Hailey, Lexi, and Kelsey let loose and have fun. Lexi became my favorite this time around. Lexi and Ricky are so cute together. The way that Ricky kind of got flustered when he presented Lexi a bouquet of flowers is adorable. Yet, Lexi is not the only one to have a holiday romance. Hailey and Kelsey hang out with Ricky's friends, Tyler and Owen.  I thought Ty...

  Santa’s Hit List targets those unlucky enough to remain on the Naughty List five years in a row—the worst of the worst—and I’m his latest prize. Bound in ribbons and at the mercy of his sadistic reindeer shifters, every day brings a new twisted trial in their Twelve Days of Terror. With Christmas Eve fast approaching, I have two choices: endure their brutal reindeer games or become a grotesque warning of what happens when you stay on the Naughty List. In this North Pole, survival is the only gift worth earning. Note: There is NO romance in this novella. This is a why-choose horror comedy erotica with seriously triggering themes. Please read the content warning at the beginning of the book. Your mental health matters. My Review Valerie has seen her name appear on Santa's Naughty list for now the fifth year. This is not good as once this happens; it is lights out for that person. No one survives the Krampus Team.  The Krampus Team is Santa's reindeer (shifters). They rein terr...

It is told in duel POV between the FMC and her stalker. ~ Ryker - Emily didn’t even bat an eye at me as she walked past my desk… She’s too focused on the stack of papers she’s carrying to the copier- who knows what for. Probably some reports that she doesn’t have clearance to read… She doesn’t even know what organization she works for or what we do behind those doors that she’s not allowed to cross the threshold of. Clueless little worker bee that she is, she doesn’t ask questions about the women that enter through those doors and don’t come out for days at a time. Why would she though? She thinks she’s just a receptionist at a private care company who caters to pregnant women… She’s not wrong, really… Our organization absolutely provides care to those women- in exchange for the experiments they let our scientists run on their unborn. They’re quiet about it- silencing the women w...

  He’s one of the most well-known figures in cultures around the world, etched into stained glass, painted in frescoes, even caricatured as standing at the gates of heaven with a long white beard and keys in hand. But long before he was portrayed as a venerated and untouchable figure, Peter was simply known as Simon, a twenty-something fisherman in a far-flung Jewish province controlled by the Roman Empire. Loyal and faithful, impetuous and passionate, Simon’s quiet life is upended by the arrival of a man called Jesus of Nazareth, rumored to be the long-awaited Messiah who would rescue the Jewish people from oppression. When Simon meets Jesus, the mysterious man tells him, “You will be Peter,” a prophetic statement that would slowly transform Simon’s life. Eager to be free of the Romans, Simon joins Jesus in hopes that he can guard this leader who will, undoubtedly, build an army to challenge Rome. But as Simon waits for the army to form, he watches Jesus show a compassion for othe...
