Colton by Jenna Myles, 316 pages

 Love men who fall first? Like strong curvy heroines? How about I throw in a high rise full of billionaires and a hero with some serious golden retriever energy?

Evie did the right thing, she saved a life, and it cost her almost everything. I'm going to make damn sure she's made whole again.

So I've been carrying her picture around with me for a couple of months.
So I argued with the guy at the hardware store over glitter paint for her little girl's bedroom, a bedroom in an apartment I want to give them.
So i've been checking on that empty apartment ever night for months.

That doesn't mean anything though. I'm not obsessed.

When I finally get the call she's ready for our help, I hop in my jet and go get her.

I expected to find a worn out, exhausted woman. And I did. But she also called me Conan (as in barbarian) and didn't tolerate any of my bullshit. And that little girl, well she has me acting like an idiot just to make her smile.

Ok, so maybe I am obsessed.



Micah by Jenna Myles, 258 pages

 This is Micah and Holly's story! Love big, tough billionaires who are complete softies for their women? You're going to love Micah.


I'm worth billions, but i'd trade it all for her ring on my finger.
Holly's husband was an abusive POS, and now that he's out of the way, it's time to make her mine.

She's been hurt, scarred, but she's so f*cking tough, she saved herself. She made it out alive.

But how does a grumpy, mostly silent giant like me convince a tiny thing like her to give me a chance? It seems impossible.

Then with raging twist of fate and flame, I see my opening. Now she's in my home, in my bed, and I will use every tool in my arsenal to make sure she never wants to leave.

Every breath in my body is hers, and when she finally realises the power she has over me? Well, there are bound to be flames of a different kind.

Fireworks For My Dragon Boss by Honey Phillips, 154 pages

 After a series of corporate mergers, Charlotte’s job is hanging by a thread. When her boss orders her to drag an overdue manuscript out of their bestselling author, she’s determined to succeed - even if it means leaving the city for the small Southern town of Fairhaven Falls.

She just didn’t expect the elusive author to be so big. And handsome. And winged.


Nakor Earlsworth refuses to give in to the common stereotypes about dragons. He lives in a glass-walled house, not a cave. He doesn’t breathe fire - at least not most of the time. And he certainly isn’t sitting on a hoard of treasure.


So why is it that when an annoying, buttoned-up, and irritatingly attractive, female shows up on his doorstep, he’s suddenly envisioning her wearing his gold - and nothing else?


A very stubborn male and an equally determined female are about to find out what happens when an immovable object meets an irresistible force. Sparks are going to fly. Literally.

Kade by Jenna Myles, 224 pages

 Kade:


I did CPR on my mom three times before I was nine years old.

The last time, I failed.

So maybe I have a bit of a hero complex. And more money than god. Those two things combined make me irresistible to every messed up woman in the city. Been there, done that, failed to put humpty back together again.

I’m done. No more broken, needy women for me.

Except God must have a sense of humor, because I find a woman sleeping in a broken down car in front of my garage in the middle of the night.

I should send her on her way. Except she’s a little unhinged. And sassy. And has thick, biteable thighs.

So of course, I give her a job, and a place to stay. I’ve got a problem, alright. I already told you that.

But no way is her sunshine going to draw me in. I’m done with women.

Yeah, I don’t believe it either.

Becca:

So I got scammed, and ended up sleeping in my broken down car.


It’s par for the course since my dad died. Maybe I haven't been making the smartest choices, you know, like selling everything I own to pay the medical bills and moving to the city to be a waitress.

Stupid plan, since i've never waitressed and am more likely to punch someone out than smile and say "yes sir."

But the grouchy mechanic banging on my window at two in the morning turns out to be a knight in tarnished armor.

If he thinks i’ll let him pay to fix my car, he’s crazy.

I’m a badass, and I always pay my way.

Besides, he needs me way more than I need him.

He just doesn’t realize it yet.



Most Ardently Yours by Freya Sampson, 320 pages

 "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single woman in possession of many romance novels, must be in want of a book boyfriend."


Zoe Knight, a struggling romance writer, has sworn off men for good. At least…the ones in real life. Once a believer in a happily ever after, she now curbs her loneliness with the help of the best book boyfriends in literature – and there is no better man than Jane Austen's Mr. Darcy. So when she stumbles into a classic London bookshop and argues with the annoyingly attractive store owner, Nick, who refuses to sell romance novels, she decides to liberate him of a dusty copy of Pride & Prejudice abandoned on a top shelf.

But this is no ordinary book.

After reading from the pages, Zoe finds herself in a remarkable situation: she has accidentally summoned the Mr. Darcy to the real world. Now, she's face-to-face with the man she's loved forever, and he's everything she dreamed he would be. Handsome? Check. Brooding? Check. Talks like he swallowed a thesaurus? Check and check. But even in all his regency perfection, can he ever be as good as in the novel? And if he's here, in her London apartment trying to figure out how to work a shower , what will happen to the literary world he came from? With Nick—the last man she could ever be prevailed upon to work with—urging her to send the fictional Darcy back to his own story, Zoe will have to decide what she really wants from a happy ending, before it's too late.

 Grace O'Malley was born to be at sea. Raised alongside her brother by their father, chief of the name of clan O'Malley, Grace learns early that her dreams of the open water are not compatible with the life she's expected to lead as the daughter of a noble family. And when her father marries her to the wrong man, a neighbouring chief named Donhal, Grace's world shifts for the worse.


Undaunted, Grace raises a family without abandoning her passion, aiding her hot-tempered husband in his campaigns against rival tribes. Eventually ousted from her husband's land in the wake of his death, Grace returns to her childhood home and begins her career as a pirate in earnest, claiming new territories and finding deeper love, only to see her livelihood threatened by English incursions into Ireland, and her family endangered in an attempt to check her power.

Tenderly observed and fiercely written, Ariel Lawhon's gripping latest novel channels the natural beauty of sixteenth-century Ireland alongside the brutality of the period as seen through the eyes of an unforgettable heroine and defender of her people, who truly earned the title 'the Pirate Queen of Ireland.'
