NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you the continuation of the stand-alone series surrounding five best friends who co-own a tattoo studio. "Is This Love?” is an age gap, marriage of convenience, friends to lovers, small-town romance.

Legend

A marriage of convenience is one thing… but falling for your fake wife is all kinds of complicated.

Being married for a year is the only way to claim my inheritance. I couldn’t care less about the money. It’s not like I even knew my grandparents.

I wasn’t even considering it until Monroe volunteered. Sweet, sweet, Monroe. I’ve never let myself consider her as an option for me.

She’s been tucked safely away in a box labeled forbidden. That is until she takes my last name.

Monroe

It’s not like I planned to marry one of my friends… or fall for him.

One minute I offer to be his fake wife, and the next, we’re going through the motions— saying, “I do,” and playing house.

Legend is the kind of guy fantasies are made of—tall, dark, and tattooed. Now I’m sharing his bed and his last name for the next year.

Everything looks good on paper, and while this may have started out as playing pretend, the way I feel for him is the realest thing I’ve ever known.

As the weeks pass by, it doesn’t take long before either of us begins to question if we’re just friends or if this is this love after all.

BLOGS REVIEW

Meant for Stone is book one in the Meant For series and from what I have read spin off of prior series. Wow, I have read other books by this author and the spice level was there, but it was really upped in this book. Tour anyone?! Ha, you must read to understand. Ryleigh and Stone will just say run in the same family and friends circle cause they are huge and I see from prior series. There's a look at one of the events and that's all it takes to spin his world off axis. Ryleigh is funny, yet seriously determined in her career. Stone is Alpha and becomes all in from the get-go. It was nice seeing a man have to earn the relationship instead of the other way around in most books. Long distance may be a big obstacle outside of their careers, but if it is Meant to Be, It will be Meant to Be (or for Stone ;)). This was a great start to a new series and I look forward to reading more Meant For stories or really any book by this author. 

His Claim by Winter Travers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

His Claim is Book 2 and I would highly encourage you to read this series in order as while each set of characters are different the story does continue regarding the mafia world right where the prior book ended and our beloved MC bunch makes appearances. Murphy and Tatum shared a past, but I bet they never thought they would reconnect the way they did (lips sealed). This story is full of suspense, love and claiming what he should have claimed five years ago (although timing was off). You will get a good laugh at Jada and I will say never question us readers, especially a bookstore owner cause do you really think they believe the call in reason. Yeah, NO! But...funny! The Bananchi and Devil's Knights together whether from the men's side of business or the ole ladies is hilarious and I think each time we read a book with them intertwining it gets even funnier even with the bad that comes along. I highly recommend this series or the MC series if you love to laugh, enjoy suspense and so much more.

What can mend a marriage in trouble? Two meddling kids, one grandfather, and a mischievous puppy.

Nothing But It All by Adriana Locke is now live! 

From USA Today bestselling author Adriana Locke comes a warm and romantic novel about a marriage in trouble, two conspiring kids, and the meaning of long-lasting love.

After twenty years, the cracks in Lauren Reed’s marriage are showing. She and her husband, Jack, feel more like roommates than a loving couple. What they have in common are two wonderful teenagers, Michael and Maddie, and the same wistful question: When did it all go wrong? Now that Lauren’s decided to get on with her life—alone—divorce is inevitable.

Not to the kids. They aren’t giving up so easily.

Michael and Maddie have conspired with their grandfather to bring everyone together for a vacation in the family’s favorite summer getaway, a rustic lakeside cabin in Story Brook, Ohio. Awkward? Yep. A little deceptive? Sure. But as far as traps go, Lauren and Jack agree—the meddlers couldn’t have set one that was more scenic or filled with so many bittersweet memories.

This trip is going to be life-changing for the whole family. Fourteen days of hope, heartbreak, and unexpected possibilities—like maybe falling in love all over again.

BLOGS REVIEW

Nothing But It All is a read that really hits home (most reads have a touch we can relate to), with the relationship aspect. Only difference is I didn't get the Nothing But It All HEA. Lauren and Jack are struggling in their marriage and when Lo gets the courage to stand up for herself and move forward with a divorce option, her teen meddlers and father-in-law decide they have other plans. They have two weeks to give it their All or throw in the towel. It wasn't easy between the two, but differences aside, they learned how it fell apart and what they needed to do to fix it. Add in your teens, the father-in-law, business and your BF and you get yourself some laughter, tears and trying to figure it out. I think others will truly be able to relate this to the story and recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading in general. 

Claim Me Forever by A.L. Jackson is now live! 

A single dad sheriff doing his best to protect his town. A gorgeous stranger caught trespassing. A love never expected…

So, it turns out the town sheriff is a total cinnamon roll. A big, burly, grumpy, hot as sin, cinnamon roll. He found me hiding out on private property. Trespassing. I lied and told him I was only there because I was out of cash and had to sleep in my car.

I thought he’d give me a ticket and send me on my way.

Instead, he insisted that I stay at his guest house—right next door to him and his three kids.

I know better than to let them get close. I’ve been betrayed too many times to put my trust in anyone.

Too bad the air crackles every time he comes near, and I feel like I’m going to burn up every time I look at him.

All it takes is one reckless night to completely spiral into the bliss of the man and his big, capable hands. One dinner with his little family to completely fall.

Only I never told him why I really came to Time River. Now I have to choose to trust him with my secret before it’s too late for both of us…

BLOGS REVIEW

Claim Me Forever is book three in the Time River series and each can be read as a standalone if you wish, but I'm sure you will want to see the back stories to the secondary characters. Erza the town sheriff and Savannah his "Little Tresspasser" share a connection and they always say, fate has a way of having someone enter your life for a reason, whether it be for long or short. This truly holds true in this book. This story is full of pain, healing, suspense, feelings they never felt before plus so much more. Those little O's that I call them will melt your heart and I love the drawing Livie does all the time. As you read the story you will know there is a connection to the town, why Savannah went there and a connection somehow to his deceased wife, but wholly smack me silly we may have known one of them, but never did I see the other items unfolding. AL will keep you reading from the beginning to end in this story and the Claim is perfect at the end. I can only hope that the founder (I will leave it at that) ends up with the lonely alpha man left in the group bunch. Guess we shall see! 

 

Guitars and Mistakes by Quinn Marlowe is available now! https://books2read.com/GuitarsandMistakes

A rockstar who doesn't know his own mind. A rising star who wants to save him. And a secret that will either save them... or tear them apart.

RIVERS
Lila Potter. Sunshine Girl. Rising star. And as of this week, my agent’s new favorite project—and one, I’ll add, that replaces her old favorite project, which was me. The agent—and for all I know, the record label and my publicist, too—have decided that I’m no longer worth their time. I’m too broken. Too dark. Too damaged.

The sad thing is, they’re right. And Lila is a better option for all of them. She’s gorgeous and talented and sunny. The bright light to my darkness.

The sunshine to my broken soul.

And the only balm that can make me feel better. I’m in love with the girl and everything about her… but I also know that she’s too good for me. She’s too bright, too beautiful, and I’m willing to sell my entire life’s work to save her from anyone who might hurt her.

Even if that someone is me.

LILA
Rivers Shine. Famous rockstar. Playboy. Angstiest musician around.

And also a lost boy, not that anyone else has ever bothered to notice. But I saw it the first time I met him, even though he puts on a good show with his grunge, loud music, and ice-cold stares. I’ve never been able to stop seeing it. Rivers Shine is a good man who’s built a bad reputation just to keep himself protected from the world around him. He doesn’t want anyone seeing the real him, though he’s never told me why that is.

The thing is, I do see the real him. I see the laughter. I see the wry sense of humor and the fact that he’d sell his own soul for the people he loves. I’ve even seen the teddy bear he doesn’t want anyone to know about.

I also know he’s planning to sacrifice himself for the good of his band. And I’ll be damned if I’ll let him do that. Because I love him too much to allow it. Even if he’s the most dangerous—and possibly deadly—thing that’s ever happened to me.

TATTOOS and Mistakes

Tattoos and Heartbreak is the start of the Trouble Next door series and is going to need to be read in order. River and Lila are singers and know the deal, fake it to make it real. It's a win win for them both, right? Ha, Faking it means lines are starting to blur. The chemistry between the two is real so there is no faking that, but can Lila save this broken man and can her sweetness be enough? Guess we won't know until the next book, Guitars and Mistakes.

Anna while River has heartbreak, my heart breaks for you cause in this duo of a band (Lila and you) I feel you were a little left out. Why yes, I am talking to a character! I bet you will agree with my opinion once you've read the book. It's a quick read and who doesn't love a rockstar read! I look forward to the upcoming book to see what transpires not only between these two, but as a band. 

GUITARS and Mistakes

GUITARS AND MISTAKES is book two in the Trouble Next Door series and must be read in order so you will need to read Tattoos and Heartbreak first. Rivers and Lila opposites in all ways and then some. She's full of sunshine and surprises, he is the bad boy and based upon past life experiences struggles with the good is what I will say. This story is full of mistakes, music and any annoying music rep (Taylor) and then the boys of the band and Anna (love it when they perform together). Your heart will break for River, but the light Lila shines helps heal all (music and him). I am holding out hope that Anna and Matt's little secretive spark lands them a story. Hug to the author for sharing a personal situation with us readers, I myself have gone through this (no happy for me) so here's hoping to the best for you both and bravo for writing during a trying team (healing I hope as you write).

HIS CLAIM INFORMATION

Blurb:

He gave her up to save her…

Murphy knows the kind of life he lives with the Banachi isn’t for everyone. Danger is always one step away and that’s why he pushed away the woman he loved five years ago. He had claimed Tatum for a brief moment, but knew he couldn’t keep her if he wanted her to be safe.

Imagine Murphy’s surprise when that danger comes straight for him, and throws Tatum at his feet.

Murphy needs to decide if there is a place in his life for Tatum or break her heart all over again. Either way, they’re both in danger.
