  🎄 Holiday 🎄 Found Family 🎄 Fake Dating 🎄 Big City Girl / Small Town Guy 🎄 Spicy 🎄 He Falls First 🎄 Cat Bestie Named Potato* *Not a trope, but you're going to love him. From author A.R. Rose comes a STANDALONE feel good holiday romance with fake dating, found family, and a cat named Potato... A wise woman once told me no one should have to spend the holidays alone, and with my first Christmas after losing my family quickly approaching, I decide to take her advice to heart. My plan is impulsive, but simple: create a dating profile and attend a few Christmas parties throughout the month to combat the loneliness. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect an avalanche of messages full of men eager for me to be their “holidate”. From office parties to family gatherings, there’s no shortage of festivities to fill my calendar. And with my no strings rule, it should be simple, right? That’s what I thought, too. Until I meet someone who piques my interest in ways I never imagined, and

  Merry Kissmas by Piper Rayne is now live in audio! Narrated in duet by: Shane East & Stella Hunter Six years ago, he was her one-night stand, and now they’re sharing a villa for the holidays.  I thought I was over him. That his good looks and British accent couldn’t affect me anymore. But the minute our eyes lock across the elevator, all those feelings come roaring back to life. Then I find out we’re competing for the same job. Next comes the realization that we have to spend a week together on a ski vacation because of some six-degree-of-separation nonsense. The real kicker is when I find out the two of us have to share a villa. A very small, very cozy villa. Needless to say, this Christmas getaway is starting off rockier than the mountains we’ll be skiing down. I’ve stayed away for years, what’s one week? But I forgot how much easier it is to ignore him with an ocean separating us—especially when he’s determined to win me back. My Review If you are a fan of accents, especially

  I’ve been burdened with the power to summon, see, and talk to dead people. I get glimpses of the past, present, and future with one touch of any object. Astral projection is also part of my power. If I can’t summon a ghost, I go to them to find answers. But no one could have ever warned me what would happen if I fell in love with a human. I’m a witch. My power is a secret. If humans found out, the Arcana Guild would seek punishment. It’s the ultimate rule. And yet, I find myself falling in love with one. He accepts me like no other has even if my coven would never accept him. Life and death become our only options. And death comes far too soon. There’s only one way to mend my heart. My Review OMG. I absolutely love this short book. January knocks it out of the park again! Not that I am shocked as she is one of my favorite authors and I love all her books. This one struck me right in the heart. There is nothing better than an emotional story with characters that will stay with you for

  Despite numerous reported sightings, anthropologist Alice knows the infamous river monster Haltamaha-ya doesn't really exist. All she wants is to get this land survey around the river done so she can go home and get back to her life. But after a run-in with a mysterious stranger she finds herself looking deeper and deeper into the river... and its inhabitants. River guardian Holt—a true creature of legend—is determined to stop the development plans near his nest. But when he sees the small female human cataloging his home he decides to take a closer look. What he discovers will change both of their lives forever. This is a MF monster romance short story with adult language and open door scenes. My Review I enjoyed this short romance story. I am a sucker for a "tail" romance. In regard to the concept of this story, it is unique, and I enjoyed that aspect. The chemistry that Alice and Holt shared is sweet. After finishing this story, I wished that it was a bit longer.  Al

  From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Darynda Jones comes a new story in her Charley Davidson series… Michael Cavalcante has one thing on his mind when he knocks on Izzabel Walsh’s door at two in the morning, half-dressed and a bit toasted: fix the woman’s heater and get back to bed. He’d vowed never to cover for his maintenance tech again, especially after he got tased and knocked out with a frying pan for his efforts. Izzy thought she was safe. She’d dyed her hair, changed her name, and moved 1,500 miles away. And still they’d found her. When a member of her ex’s motorcycle club knocks on her door in the middle of the night, supposedly to fix a perfectly good heater, Izzy panics. Not only have they found her, but they will soon discover she has a daughter. Aka, leverage. She needs time to think. To plan. To figure out how to keep the sexy neanderthal quiet. But she has no idea how, short of murder. Can she win him over to her side? Or will he be just like all the oth
