Synopsis:

A Small Town, Marriage of Convenience, Forced Proximity, Standalone Romance from USA Today and Amazon Bestselling Author, Laura Pavlov.

Sometimes relationships come along that define you.

Someone who brings out sides of you that no one else sees.

The reason that you try to be the best version of yourself.

Savannah Abbott was my North Star growing up.

She was my best friend, my neighbor, and the person who knew me best.

But without warning, she was gone in the blink of an eye.

My life began unraveling the day she left Magnolia Falls.

Because apparently, when you lose the best thing in your life, it’s all downhill from there.

But I’m a survivor— and I forced myself to move on.

My guard went up, and my ability to trust people disappeared.

Until the day Savannah came back to town—more than a decade later.

And now she’s acting like I’m the enemy.

She wants nothing to do with me, even all these years later.

Until she needs a favor.

A temporary husband.

I may not be the marrying type, but for Savannah, I’m willing to bend the rules.

None of this is real, and she reminds me of that every day while we’re playing house.

I may fight fires for a living, but my new wife is a flame that I don’t want to extinguish.

She’s the fire that’s been missing all along.

Spoiler-free Review:

Finding Hayes (Magnolia Falls #5)Finding Hayes by Laura Pavlov
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Finding Hayes by Laura Pavlov is pure gold for small-town romance lovers. Laura Pavlov, please never stop writing! I can't get enough of the charming worlds and unforgettable characters she creates. Whenever I dive into her stories, I feel like packing my bags and moving to one of her hot and sweet small towns (if only that were possible!). 

Hayes, a swoon-worthy firefighter, and Savanna, an interior designer, find themselves in a heartwarming, slow-burn romance wrapped in a marriage of convenience. This story tugged at my heartstrings in the best way possible. I can't say enough good things about this series—it's one of my favorites. Laura's books are the peas to my carrots (you'll get that reference once you devour this book!).

Spoiler-free Review of Beating Heart

Beating Heart (Magnolia Falls #4)Beating Heart by Laura Pavlov
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 - 5 Laura, you stole my own beating heart. Beating Heart is the fourth book in the Magnolia series of interconnected standalones.   This small-town romance captivated me from the first to the last page.  Beating Heart was everything I hoped it would be, and then some. I loved the banter and all of Laura's signature small-town sweet vibes. Laura, can you write a Cutler's story once he's grown up? He's my all-time favorite child character. What a personality! That epilogue was epic— thank you. Chef's kiss!

I can't wait to read Finding Hayes on October 24th!

Forbidden King by Laura Pavlov Kindle Romance



Synopsis:
From USA Today and Amazon Charts Bestselling Author Laura Pavlov, comes an all-new Small Town, Brother’s Best Friend, Found Family Standalone Romance.


Saylor Woodson is the one girl I can’t have, and the only girl I want.
She’s my best friend’s little sister, and completely off limits.
We have a history, a connection―one that no one else knows about. One that I’ve tried hard to forget.

I've kept my distance for years, which was easy because she’d been away at school.
Now she’s home, and she’s everywhere I turn.
And the way that I want her is unexplainable.
She’s sunshine on a cloudy day.

I do everything in my power to keep my distance, because her brother is my best friend. My family. But the pull is too strong.
I want to claim her and keep her and make her mine.
So, we cross that line in the sand―slowly at first.
Until I’m drowning in this girl and can’t find my way up for air.

Betrayal runs deep, and guilt hangs over me like a dark cloud.
Except I can’t seem to walk away, no matter how hard I try.
Because now that I’ve had a taste of forever, I’m willing to risk everything to keep it.

Can we weather the storm that’s coming for us?

Only time will tell.

Spoiler-free review:

Forbidden King (Magnolia Falls #3)Forbidden King by Laura Pavlov
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I laughed. I cried! I loved this book so much. Forbidden King by Laura Pavlov is small-town romance solid gold! Forbidden King is the third book in the Magnolia Falls series of interconnected standalones. Kingston, a notorious player, has always been attracted to Saylor, his best friend's sister, but he would never dream of acting on his feelings.  Saylor has always harbored feelings for Kingston and finally decides to push him to explore the possibility of more. Their attraction is undeniable, and Saylor finds herself falling for her own Forbidden King. The two navigate their nuclear chemistry while dealing with their emotional baggage.

This book checked off all my romance-loving boxes with the perfect blend of sweet and heat, funny banter, and lovable characters. I'm ready to pack my bags and move to Magnolia Falls. This book and the entire series feel like a warm book hug.

I can't wait to see Nash get a much-deserved HEA in Beating Heart when it releases on August 15th.

Synopsis:

Ruby Rose declared me the enemy before I had a chance to defend myself.

I may be an attorney, but this girl had appointed herself judge and jury.   

And I’d never minded a good verbal sparring.

There was a comfort in going to battle against the evil queen.

Maybe it was just the recognition of one damaged soul to another.

But the more we fought—the more I craved her.

Until our arguing turned into a bit of a wager.

One I was determined to win.

One time. Sixty seconds. A secret only we would share.

I’d work my magic and she’d declare me the winner.

I’d gloat, she’d sulk—that was my plan.

She was determined to prove me wrong.

But from the minute we crossed the line, there was no turning back.

She was so far under my skin I couldn’t think straight.

Feeling things that I’d never felt before was one thing.

But knowing the clock was ticking was another.

Ruby Rose may have given me more than sixty seconds, but she wasn’t offering forever.

And now my world doesn’t work without her in it.

But how do I convince her to stay, when she already has one foot out the door?



Spoiler-free Review of Wild River:

Wild River (Magnolia Falls #2)Wild River by Laura Pavlov
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wild River by Laura Pavlov is the second book in the Magnolia Falls series. Laura cranked up the heat and the feels in the second installment of this small-town romance series of interconnected standalones. We meet Ruby Rose, who returns home to Magnolia Falls to care for her dad and run his bar. She meets River and immediately dislikes her dad’s handsome lawyer. Sparks fly between the two, and Ruby and River develop this love-hate attraction that leads to a no-strings-attached relationship. They promise not to catch feelings for each other until they do.

I loved being back in Magnolia Falls and hanging with the Ride or Die crew. This addictive, spicy, and sweet romance did not disappoint. Laura’s small-town romances are my cat nip, and I can’t get enough of them. I can’t wait to read Kingston and Saylor’s story in Forbidden King on June 6th.

Irresistible by Willow Aster Kindle Crack
Synopsis:

𝘼 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙢 𝙬𝙝𝙤𝙨 𝙨𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙣 𝙤𝙛𝙛 𝙢𝙚𝙣, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖 𝙨𝙚𝙭𝙮 𝙙𝙤𝙘𝙩𝙤𝙧 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙...

With my little girl in tow, I pack up my Texas roots, seeking a fresh start in Landmark Mountain. Leaving behind a trail of shattered trust and a cheating ex, the last thing I expect is to collide with a sexy stranger.

Our first encounter is a whirlwind of heated words and fiery glares. But fate's twisted sense of humor places him right in my path, not once, but many times over and over again. 

Why does Dr. Wyatt Landmark have to be related to my best friend's boyfriend? 

But Landmark has a way of softening my heart, both the man and the town. This place already feels like home, and Wyatt’s interactions with my daughter reveal a side of him I hadn't expected.

It isn't long before his small acts of kindness begin to chip away at the walls I've so carefully constructed around my heart. That, and the passion between us I can’t deny whenever he looks my way. 

Despite swearing off love, the resolve I’ve had is stripping away as Wyatt becomes more irresistible by the day.

Spoiler-free review:

Irresistible (Landmark Mountain, #3)Irresistible by Willow Aster
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Irresistible by Willow Aster is the third book in the Landmark Mountain series of interconnected standalones. This small-town, single-mom romance is irresistible! Marlow, who is in the middle of a divorce, moves with her daughter, Dakota, for a new start. Marlowe meets Wyatt, and they slowly build a friendship until the ink is dry on her divorce papers. She tries to resist swoon-worthy Wyatt, but he’s just too irresistible.

I love the Landmark family and the town. Wyatt, Marlow, and Dakota were adorable. I can’t wait for the next Landmark series book!

I would literally lose my mind if Willow Aster and Laura Pavlov created a spin-off book with the Reynolds family from Cottonwood Cove and The Landmarks. A girl can dream ❤️

Synopsis:

He’s the GOAT of the NFL. She’s a hot-headed reporter who despises him. They’re in the same small town for the summer. What could possibly go wrong?

 

I'm more than aware of the responsibilities that come with being a quarterback in the NFL.

The upside—I get to do what I love every day, which is play football.

And I make more money than I know what to do with.

The downside—everyone wants a piece of me, and the press stalks me ruthlessly. 

And one reporter in particular, Brinkley Reynolds, has crossed a line.

She takes things too far.

So yeah, I have her escorted out of the press conference.

Imagine my surprise when the same woman walks into the coffee shop in the small town where I’ve gone to get some privacy for the summer.

I accuse her of stalking me.

She calls me every name in the book before proceeding to make me feel very unwelcome in Cottonwood Cove.

Her hometown.

The place where she tucked tail and ran after I’d unknowingly gotten her fired.

So now I’m enemy number one.

That’s fine with me. 

I’m not the biggest fan of her either.

She’s equal parts stubborn and aggravating.

But she happens to be the sexiest woman I’ve ever laid eyes on.

So I try to make amends.

I’m not the devil after all.

But she won’t give me the time of day unless I agree to give her my story.

One I’ve fought hard to protect since the day I started playing professional ball.

I don’t owe Brinkley Reynolds anything.

So why am I considering giving her everything?



Spoiler-free review

On the Shore (Cottonwood Cove #3)On the Shore by Laura Pavlov
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

On the Shore by Laura Pavlov is the third installment in the Cottonwood Cove series. On the Shore focuses on Brinkley Reynolds and Lincoln Hendrix. Brinkley is a sports reporter who lands an interview of a lifetime with Lincoln Hendrix, the NFL's GOAT quarterback and the one man she can't stand.

I absolutely loved Brinkley and her sassy attitude. She reminded me so much of Dylan (Dilly), one of my all-time favorite characters from Laura's Honey Mountain series. The Cottonwood series of interconnected series of standalones is addictive. I've said it before, but it bears repeating, this series is small-town romance lovers gold. I adore the Reynolds family and can't wait to return to Cottonwood Cove and read Before the Sunset (Cottonwood Cove #4) when it releases on September 21st. One-click worthy!
