Happy Friday, everyone! This Friday is a special one because April 4th is School Librarian. Where would any of us be in our reading journeys without the school librarian? I shudder to think whether or not the authors below would be releasing new books today without them!
Stolen Kisses is the latest standalone romance by USA Today bestselling author Layla Hagen. She meets Chase Sterling at the airport while waiting for her sister’s wedding flight—an arrogant, self-important stranger who immediately gets under her skin. After a heated exchange, she assumes she’ll never see him again. But fate has other plans.
Not only does Chase turn up at the wedding as the best man, but one stolen kiss later, she realizes there’s more to him than his grumpy exterior. Back home, she struggles to save the inn she inherited, only to land a job at Sterling Investments—where Chase is now her boss. Determined to keep things professional, she tries to ignore their undeniable chemistry. But with every lingering glance and knowing smile, resisting him might just be impossible.
The Forbidden Pleasures Series by Montana Fyre continues with Pray for the Damned. A theory about twins suggests one is good, the other evil. To outsiders, it seems true—one brother is a priest, the other a hitman. Both are shaped by a dark past. The hitman is determined to show the world that his brother is just as messed up, especially now that Waverly has entered his life. She’s broken in a way that draws them both in, and from the moment he saw her, he became obsessed. Unfortunately, the priest got to her first, but that’s never stopped the hitman before, and it won’t now.
One Weekend in Montana is a standalone romance by Cadence Keys. Six years ago, Cody Maxwell broke her heart. Now, he’s back—still as handsome as ever, and showing up at her bar. With a sick father to care for and a bar to run, she doesn’t need him complicating her life. But when Cody proposes a no-strings-attached weekend fling, she considers it as a way to finally get over him. However, what was meant to be a short fling turns into something far deeper. Now, she’s left wondering how she’ll survive watching him walk away again.
The Bluestone Lakes Series by Jenn McMahon begins with Finding Home. Blair Andrews escapes her crumbling marriage and moves to Bluestone Lakes, Wyoming, to start fresh. Her grumpy neighbor, Griffin Barlow, resents her presence, but as they grow closer, Blair begins to wonder if she’s found more than just a new home—maybe even a new beginning.
