Synopsis:

From New York Times bestselling authors Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland comes a new standalone romance. When the board of directors of my company mandated that I go to a wellness facility in small-town Maine to recharge, that shouldn’t have included:

1.) Using a ladder to sneak out of the bedroom window at night and going to the local bar.

2.) Getting so drunk that the bar owner brought me upstairs to sleep it off in his bed.

3.) Waking up staring at the taxidermy moose head on said bar owner’s wall.

4.) Falling for said bar owner who was the most drop-dead gorgeous man I’ve ever seen.

But Brock Hawkins was so much more than just the hot bar owner. He owned half the town, built log cabins with his bare hands, and was apparently the most eligible man in all of Meadowbrook.

He was also a cinnamon roll despite his seemingly rock-hard exterior.

And the last man I should’ve been falling for—because my time in this small town was limited.

I had to head back to my life in New York City, one that was the complete opposite from the kind Brock lived.

He was denim. I was diamonds.

The problem was, the sexy lumberjack wasn’t the type of man who was easy to walk away from. Hell, I couldn’t even part with his plaid shirt that had become a constant fixture wrapped around my shoulders most days, let alone think about erasing him from my life.

A life with Brock, though, would have to be all or nothing.

Go big or go home.

The Wildest One, a scorching hot, hockey, forbidden, billionaire romance from USA Today best-selling author Marni Mann  by Marni Mann is now live!  Check out my spoiler-free review below.  I can't wait for you to meet Beck and Joile. Get it now on Kindle Unlimited. 

Synopsis:

I’m not the calm before the storm. I am the storm. And only she can tame my wild ways.

Hockey is my religion.
My body is my temple.
My only goal in life is to win another Stanley Cup with the Los Angeles Whales, so women are just a sexy distraction.

Until her.
The fiery redhead I see across the bar while I’m at an away game.

With one look, I know I have to meet her.
With one touch, I need her beneath me.
With one bat of her long lashes, I want those eyes gazing up at me as she kneels before me.
And with booze flowing through my veins, I do something I’ve never done. I offer her a proposition—to spend a long weekend with me.

What is only supposed to be three nights of sizzling passion turns into much more, and when I leave for my next away game, I find myself wanting her in ways I’ve never felt.

She’s a young heart with an old soul.
My dream woman in every way.
The only thing I’ve ever encountered that my family name, talent and money can’t attain.

But there’s too much distance between us, and I realize that maybe we just aren’t meant to be.

Until a chance meeting skates us right back together and our time is suddenly now.

Except all of that changes when I learn the truth …

She’s forbidden, untouchable, and off-limits.

With my heart on the line, can I score the most crucial goal of my life, or will she realize that being with the wildest one isn’t worth the sacrifices she’ll have to make?

My Silver Lining is a small town, fake dating, enemies to lovers, standalone romance from USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestselling Author, Laura Pavlov 

Lulu Sonnet is the bane of my existence.

She’s caused me more physical pain than any man should ever endure.

From an accidental throat punch to a near death by shovel—

Don’t even get me started on that vicious pool ball accident where she almost robbed me of my family jewels.

She’s a hot little heathen, and what’s worse?

She’s staying in my brother’s rental house while I’m temporarily living in the guest house.

And now she needs a favor.

A fake boyfriend.

I’ll dote on her for a few weeks, she’ll return the favor so my boss’s daughter will stop nagging me, and then we’ll part ways.

It seems simple enough.

Until we end up in the same shower.

And then the same bed.

The lines are blurring.

She’s beautiful and fierce and sexy all at the same time.

But Lulu isn’t staying in Rosewood River forever.

The place I call home is just a pitstop for her.

But suddenly everything I thought I wanted is no longer important to me.

My fake girlfriend has turned my world upside down.

And now nothing feels right without her.

Synopsis:

Henley Holloway is my boss’s daughter and I’ve been assigned to mentor her.

The problem is, I’m not looking to babysit anyone.

But I’m determined to make partner at the firm, and this is the final obstacle in my way.

So, I agree to take the little princess under my wing.

I’ll work her so hard, she’ll beg me to leave her alone.

But from the first day she walks into the office and spills scalding hot coffee on my chest—I’m intrigued.

She’s a Harvard grad.

Her work ethic rivals mine.

She’s witty and funny and beautiful all at the same time.

I don’t want to like her.

I have a hard and fast rule about relationships, and I will not break it with my boss’s daughter.

That’s a hard no.

But she’s everywhere I turn, and I can’t seem to get enough.

Weren’t rules meant to be broken anyway?

From the moment we cross the line—I’m done for.

Henley Holloway has seeped her way into my heart, one that I didn’t even know still worked.

But sometimes loving someone isn’t enough.

I’m living proof of that.
