You’ve got to read this series! I LOVE Jackie’s Love Across Time books. You will never forget these characters.

Forced proximity is one of my favorite tropes and no one does it better than Jackie North. What could be better than being rescued from a blizzard by the local Sherriff? How about being snowed in with him! If you love hot cowboys, sweaty ranch hands, and redemption, check out the other novels in the Farthingdale Ranch series! You won't be disappointed!
Love Rules
Love Rules Jacki James
Carter worked hard for everything he had. He built his business from the ground up using common sense and logic. He believed in things that were tangible, not fanciful notions like love at first sight. At least that was the case until he walked into a new coffee shop one morning and came face to face with the man he knew was his future.
As an artist, Sean was creative to the bones, but even he knew fairy tales weren’t real, and rich businessmen didn’t fall in love with would be artist/baristas. But when Carter insists that Sean give them a chance, he gives in to the handsome man.
As they get to know each other, it becomes obvious they were meant to be. But can two intelligent men who don’t believe in fairy tales forget about the rules and find their happy ever after?

Jacki James writes great characters and fun, immersive settings. She’s an auto-buy for me!
A fun, fast read, with an imaginative take on new magick, and two main characters whose banter and hinted backstories make them appealing.
This is classic Jacki James--a sweet, low-angst bite of paranormal romance sure to put a smile on your face!
Jacki's Snow Magick is such a fun, sweet morsel of a story about two magick hunters who discover what they're really searching for is each other. Adorable and a fun entry into an existing series.
The Date
The Date May Archer
Caelan James should've known better than to let a dating app set him up on a blind date. Nothing in life was guaranteed-perfect, especially not guys... and most definitely not guys in the immediate vicinity of tiny O'Leary, New York. And then sexy Navy SEAL Ash Martin walked into Cal's bakery, and made him wonder if fate might have cooked up something sweet for him after all. Their connection was immediate, all-consuming, and definitely not vanilla... but could their perfect date last for more than just a night, or even a season?
(This is a newly-expanded version of the story previously published as in the Heart2Heart anthology as The Baker and the SEAL.)

LOVE May Archer’s books! Her characters and pairings are fantastic!
May Archer’s writing speaks as if being relayed to you by an old friend, one you trust to spill the goods—it’s warm, inviting, funny, charming, sexy, and downright intoxicating. “The Light” is a perfect example of all the distinct flavors she brings to a scrumptious dish. Get snowed in with Fran, Mark, and the lovable residents of O’Leary—you’ll be glad you did.
On the Mall
On the Mall Lucy Lennox
When art therapist Cam gets set up on a blind date with a man named Josh, he doesn't realize it's Joshua Lede, the famous, television reporter or that Josh is a lower-leg amputee. As they spend the day on the National Mall, Cam learns that Josh is more than the hard-hitting political analyst he is on television, and Josh learns that he may have finally found a funny, sweet man to share his life with.
I’m a huge fan of all of Lucy’s books, and this short story didn’t disappoint! Love the characters, the setting, their chemistry, and throw in ghosts? You had me at hello. Awesome story!
If her effortless prose isn’t captivating enough, her charming characters will welcome you in for a visit... or, in my case, a stay—as I read this wonderful tale of a successful musician, Gent, and his long-time fan, Winter, in one sitting. If you’re looking for warm, cozy, heartfelt, and steamy romance, then look no further. Lucy Lennox delivers!
An enchanting story, with a truly satisfying happy ever after for a couple who seem to be worlds apart. Fate steps in to bring these two together - Gent gives all his efforts to his music and his fans, having little left for himself, so he’s astonishingly warmed by Winter’s care and honest generosity. And Winter is cute and amusing, gradually getting over his happy shock at bonding with the man he’s been fan-boying over for years LOL. They were a sweet and sexy delight together and I embraced their whirlwind yet sincere and deeply felt love story. I’m thrilled to see it’s a prequel to more stories in the Aster valley series!
These characters have the best names ever! Loved this sweet story with the promise of more to come with an entire series. This was like the best Christmas present you could ever want. It was shiny, happy, sexy and cute. The two MCs could not have been more different yet it was easy to picture them together like two pieces of a puzzle. I really enjoyed reading this book and can't wait to read about more Aster Valley men.
Nor Iron Bars a Cage
Nor Iron Bars a Cage Kaje Harper
First I was a sorcerer. Then I was a hermit. For so long—for years that seemed to go on forever—I couldn't bear to be touched. I put up not just walls but whole stone bunkers to keep everyone out, emotionally, and physically as well. I was protected from people, from ghosts, from specters real and imagined. Sure, I was alone. But I felt safe. Only, after a while, I wasn't sure any longer whether a totally "safe" empty life was really worth living.
Then Tobin came along. Out of the blue, out of my past, with a summons from the king that he wouldn't let me ignore. I tried to cling to my isolation, but he wouldn't give up on me. Tobin never believed in walls.

Leland
Being a hitman has its perks, but I never thought getting an accidental mooning by an attractive PI while he’s caught on a fence would be one of them. While it’s not exactly love at first sight, he’s captured my interest.
Suddenly, I find myself caught in a game of cat and mouse, determined to attract the attention of Jackson, who should be my enemy. He pretends like he’s not flattered by my flowers and the mentions of my blow-up doll Randy, but I know better. Why else would he be teaming up with me to bring down Hardek?
Jackson
Even though the cops are telling me that the hitman is a contract killer, I can’t help but admit that I’m drawn to him. He’s funny and charismatic. There’s no way this ridiculous man can be the one the cops are after.

On the Ice - GRL2019 Amy Aislin
For college sophomore Mitch Greyson, determination and persistence are the name of the game if he wants to make it as a professional hockey player. A busy schedule of practices, games, classes, homework, two part-time jobs—and now, working with a tutor to help him pass the class he’s failing so that he can keep his scholarship—shouldn’t leave him with enough time to flirt with the NHL player in town. But that doesn’t stop him.
Placed on the injured reserve list until his broken arm heals, NHL defenseman Alex Dean is using the time off to be with his ailing grandfather and get a head start on the book he’s been commissioned to write. He doesn’t expect to get roped into a tutoring gig, especially not for cocky, smart-ass Mitch.

All his life, Sebastian has wanted to live in New York. Now he's there, and it's . . . underwhelming.

The raven-haired enigma's pick-up line is tantamount to a carjacking, and the night only spirals further out of control from there.

Sweet and sexy, and full of the perfect amount of hurt/comfort yumminess.
Sweet, magical, and entirely unique! This frog prince retelling shows us that people are rarely what we expect. I love this novella with my whole heart and 10/10 would throw fists for Jasper Ferguson Conrad.
I loved this retelling of the frog prince! It's sexy and fun and a great escape from the real world. Sam Burns always delivers great worldbuilding and romance, and this story is no exception.
I love a sweet fairytale with a prince and a heart-of-gold cinderfella . . . throw in a frog and you've got one rollicking adventure! I've read a couple of Sam's fairytales and I'm never disappointed. You can tell she loved writing this story, and for being a short, it is so satisfying. I gobbled it up in one sitting.
Seriously Tempted
Seriously Tempted Michelle Frost
Nolan Wilkes isn't prepared for Colby and Dante—the two jocks that he finds himself sharing a campus apartment with. Being the lone nerd in the land of towering muscle mass seems like risky business, but Nolan learns quickly that the rules in their apartment don't follow the path he'd expected. When Colby and Dante approach him with an offer for the three of them to get even cozier, Nolan thinks they’re crazy, but he’d be a liar if he said he wasn’t seriously tempted.
Michelle Frost creates characters and settings that feel real and make you care. Love her stories!
What a great introduction to Michelle Frost's Metal & Magic world! This story sucked me in and made me eager to read more. I'm looking forward to future books in this series!

I love Elle Keaton's work and can't wait to read this one. Software + Vikings are a hit for me!
I'm huge fan of Elle Keaton's Accidental Roots series with all of it's unique characters and mysteries waiting to be solved. Each book is it's own story with familiar characters that make appearances in each progressive book. Well worth a read.
Elle Keaton writes the kind of fulfilling romance you can read over and over again and Jude's Dude was no exception. Jude and Cullen, two completely different men from two completely different places in life, fell together by accident when they ended up staying in the same cabin during the holidays and discovered they had more in common than not. The short story was sweet and to the point and, like all of her books I've read, utterly satisfying.
I love the quick and easy setup - there's a mix up and Cullen and Jude have to share a small cabin during a storm - and how it lets Elle Keaton get right to the falling in love. These two are in different places in their lives, but since they're both at the cabin to think, it's a great chance for them to figure out where they really want to be - and who they want to be with too (of course)!
I absolutely loved this crossover novel by Elle.
The characters, Jude and Cullen, were so sweet and funny. I think I sighed more often than not in this novel.
Elle’s writing flows and you can imagine the crisp air, the toasty fire and the simmering passion between the two men (and one bed)
I love how she takes characters in such short stories and fleshes them out completely. You know these guys.
Definitely take a chance on this beautifully written short!

Jacki's Snow Magick is such a fun, sweet morsel of a story about two magick hunters who discover what they're really searching for is each other. Adorable and a fun entry into an existing series.

Jag is hot-tempered and Ethan is more than capable of going toe-to-toe with him. Punching you in the feels one minute and laugh-out-loud funny the next, you won't want to miss Demon All The Way!

Maz has a way of sucking you into even the most fantastical story and always leaves you wanting more. Christmas and demons? What more could you ask for?
Maz has a knack for combining comedy with emotionally resonant moments in a special way--her stories are wonderfully breezy reads with plenty of comedy, but the characters and themes linger long after the book is closed.
As with all things Maz Maddox, this is written with a sly wit and lots of heart. Her take on these familiar supernatural creatures is uniquely hers, and I enjoyed the hell out of this story. Cannot wait for the series.

I love DJ’s books! The quirky and wonderful characters and the wonderful romances make me a happy reader!
DJ writes such beautifully complex, enjoyable stories. Boyfriend Freeze could have just been a simple, sexy story, but she imbues this opposites attract romance with a deeper emotional resonance that I really enjoyed.
Loved it! As always, DJ writes sweet stories with just the right amount of snark and sass to keep it from being saccharine. I loved Ollie and Graham together and Ollie's transformation was both believable and rewarding. You were totally rooting for him the whole way and it was so satisfying when he and Graham finally got together.

The Clockwork Monk is a mystery the President herself asks Trevor to solve. She wants it, and Trevor’s her spy. An encoded message leads him to the residence of the Archbishop of Chicago, where his undercover role allows him to indulge in fine waistcoats and fancy cravats. Even better, he enjoys the thrill of dodging anarchists and propriety while engaging in a duel of secrets with the mysterious Father Stephen.
The good Father doesn't act like a priest. Hell, Stephen may not be his real name. His broad shoulders and dark eyes are intriguing, and though Stephen’s clandestine agenda clashes with Trevor's, danger just adds to the temptation.

Six months have passed since wizard Quinn Broomsparkle left behind his indentured servant shackles. He’s in love with his half-dragon/half-fairy familiar, Twig Starfig. He’s got a home. Friends. A job. And a father-in-law he could do without. A pretty close to perfect life.
So, when Quinn receives a summons to return to his home realm, how hard could facing his past really be?
He and Twig are about to find out . . . Hint: it isn’t going to go well.

What a twisting adventure! Kem and Tuii burn up the pages in Meghan Maslow's Demon for the Win. I couldn't put it down. Not only was I drawn in by the fantasy world she created but also the chemistry between the lead characters. You don't want to miss this one.
I loved this cute story about an incubus finding his true love with a dryad. It was both hot and sweet as Kem worked to convince Tuli that he was enough just as he was. Meghan Maslow's world of Verona is fun, imaginative, and always full of surprises, and I highly recommend this book.
Meghan is amazing at finding humor in every situation, and this story is classic Meghan. Hilarious, fun, and starring two unexpected and utterly charming characters. I really appreciate that she didn't go with the resistance plotline of an incubus falling in love (as though getting an incubus to fall in love is like trying to bathe a cat), and Kem is all the more delightful for being an exception to every rule. Can't wait to see more in this series!
In standard Meghan Maslow fashion, this book is chock-full of humor, bubbly and detailed world building, and scorching hot disaster demons. Kem and Tuli are drawn to each other like magnets, but not all is easy for incubi when it comes to the dreaded capital-R Relationships, even when they are *gulp* falling for their soulmate. An intriguing mystery provides the backdrop to this spicy fantasy romance, and I’m in love with the world of Verona Meghan has created. Highly recommended!

I love Allison Temple's light and witty style.
I always love Allison's fun and emotional stories! This one brings the heat!
I loved everything about this! It was cute and funny, with Allison's trademark snark and humour.
I'm a big fan of Allison's books and Pursued by a Bear is as fabulous as the rest. There was just enough backstory from Lane and Xavier's past to make you root for them to get together again and every word of their time together was a delight. Her words are a joy to read and the end of the book left me with a happy little smile on my face.

Ben has never gotten over a Christmas from his past. His boyfriend Jake loves the holidays and wants Ben to find the joy and spirit of the season once again. What do you give someone who has everything?
I love all the books in Shane Morton's Point Pleasant Holiday Series so I was excited to see this short story! Tad and Wally are complete opposites who've secretly been crushing on each other. The chemistry between them heats up the pages, and their story draws you in. Throughout the series, the author brings us into this town and this world, and we never want to leave. The Point Pleasant stories can be read as standalones, but once you start, you won't want to stop until you've read every one. I can't wait to see what comes next!
The concept of a murder mystery at a drag queen pageant is interesting and different to me. I will pick up this book by Shane K Morton just by looking at the cover, and reading the blurb.
