  Eleanor did everything right—until life fell apart. A widowed children’s book author, she’s back in her mother’s house, being told how to grieve, how to parent, and how to stay small. Then she discovers roller derby. The Grimm Reapers of Briar Glen are loud, fierce, and unapologetic. For the first time in years, Eleanor feels like herself again. Enter  Alex Prince , a kind, steady single dad she keeps running into. First in the stands. Then at their kids’ rehearsals. And finally at an open skate where a scraped knee and a gentle touch spark feelings Eleanor thought she’d lost forever. Skate Ever After  is a Cinderella retelling about grief and healing, body-positive strength, inclusive community, and the courage to live loudly again. A swoony, heart-forward romance about finding your power—and your happily ever after—on your own terms. My Review Eleanor is trying to do the best she can with the cards that she has been dealt. With the death of her husband, she now is a s...

  Jude Kensington is the playboy of Pembroke Hills Country Club and the last person I expected to be living with this summer. Charming flirt. Billionaire bachelor. And my friend who once kissed me during a night neither of us can remember—or forget. But before things could get complicated, a surprise showed up on his doorstep. A baby. His baby. With no clue how to care for an infant and me in search of a place to live, we strike a deal: I’ll help him survive fatherhood, and he’ll give me a place to stay. Temporary. Convenient. Totally platonic. Except nothing about this arrangement feels simple. Not when I’m rocking his daughter to sleep. Not when I catch him watching me like I’m something he can’t have. And definitely not when I remember exactly how it felt to kiss him. Falling for Jude was never part of the deal. But the longer we play house, the harder it is to pretend I don’t want to be more than friends… My Review Jude and Charlotte are really great friends. So much so that Ch...

  Success and popularity don’t go hand in hand. That’s a fact Helen Kingsley understands all too well. After quickly climbing the corporate ladder at her finance firm, she found it to be lonelier toward the top. She doesn’t care, though. Her pride buoys her through the nights of solitude, as empty as they can be. Two weeks before the biggest accounting day of the year―tax day―Helen is confident about the prospect being promoted. Her excellent work ethic ensures her chances. Everything seems to be coming together until a frustrating encounter with a handsome, albeit snarky new coworker shakes her bravado. Carter Matthews presents a more frustrating challenge than Helen has faced in years. His notable intelligence and integrity mirror her own, making him a threat to her position. She doesn’t need any competition, and Carter’s diligence could jeopardize the promotion she’s worked so hard for. A rival in the office is bad enough, but when her boss makes her Carter’s mentor, she’s force...

  He’s not the Easter Bunny. When Nora brings a fluffy white rabbit into her kindergarten classroom, she expects squeals, giggles, and maybe a science lesson about spring. What she doesn’t expect is for the rabbit to bite her. Or to shift into a six-foot-five, battle-wounded man with the face of a fallen god. What she  really  doesn’t expect… …is for him to be naked. He claims he’s a prince. He claims he’s being hunted. He claims there’s an enchanted sword powerful enough to save his kingdom — and he needs her help to find it. She thinks he’s insane. He knows she’s his. Bonded. Fated. Mates. Sorren is not from her world. He’s older. Wilder. Royal. And on the run. This Easter, the hunt begins. Not for eggs. For a throne. For survival. For  her . Because once a prince claims his mate… He doesn’t let her go. My Review Nora didn't plan to have a rabbit as a pet but the shop owner kind of pushed the rabbit upon her. You can imagine her surprise when one moment she is pett...
