Recent read I genuinely can’t get over 🌊🌞🤍

I went into the Pacific Shores series thinking I knew exactly what I was getting into and I was so wrong in the best way! I was not prepared for how emotional, raw, romantic, and heartfelt these stories would be. The love stories, the friendships, the healing, the found family, the writing, there is just so much heart woven throughout this series.

Pacific Shores has been living rent free in my head ever since😭

Tropes:
Heathen & Honeysuckle ✨
Second Chance
Runway Bride
Small Coastal Town

Wicked & Wildflower ✨
Single Mom
Fake Dating
Reformed Playboy

Reckless Roses ✨
Love Triangle
Friends to Lovers
Cliffhanger

Vice & Violet ✨
Loathe to Love
Second Chance
Love after Loss

Cover Reveal for Book 3 in the Hope Harbor Series, Fireflies & Forever by @authorbrittaneenicole 🌼💛🌼

Forbidden love is in bloom...

Everyone thinks they know Billie Walker. Single mom, little sister, aspiring event planner, maybe even bartender. But she barely knows herself. The one thing she’s definitely not? Dating her brother’s best friend: former hockey player and town playboy Eli Davis.

Until she gets roped into bidding on him at Hope Harbor’s dating auction. Now the Liberty Ladies— the town busy bodies with hearts of gold—have five dates to convince Billie that Eli is the man for her.

Raised by a single mom, Eli knows Billie needs help more than romance. So rather than working to sweep her off her feet, he makes it his mission to help Billie discover what she enjoys, outside of being a mom and sister.

As intertwined fingers at the Daffodil Festival turns into sweet kisses by the light of the fireflies, Billie begins to fall for Eli. But can a secret relationship ever blossom into forever?

Available March 16, 2027!

What to Expect:
Small Town 💛
Single Mom 💛
Brother’s Best Friend 💛
Retired Hockey Pro 💛

Artist: @illustriousjane

COVER REVEAL 🏒💙

Code Violation by @authorruthstilling! Available September 17! Mark your calendars!

I’m in love with my brother’s ex-girlfriend.

After years of acting like Vesper Stone isn’t the girl of my dreams, I owe it to myself to be honest, even if the confession can only ever remain a secret.

There are so many reasons why I should forget about her. As the captain of the Seattle Rogues, I shouldn’t betray my only sibling, and I ought to honor the promise I made to our late mom to stand by him.

But my brother isn’t a good man, and I can’t take my eyes off the stunning bartender with sleek black hair and a smile that falters whenever she gets a text from the guy who never deserved her.

Voicing my feelings is a terrible idea. My brother isn’t only a bad person, but he’s dangerous, too, and my top priority is protecting the one girl I can never have.

But I didn’t make it as a pro hockey player without going after what I wanted, and regardless of who she is to my family, I can’t stop showing up at her apartment.

Maybe we can just be friends. I’d rather have that than lose her altogether. My brother doesn’t need to know we hang out and eat pizza while watching a movie.

But friends don’t hold their breath whenever they catch each other’s gaze, and they definitely don’t do what we did the other night …

I should walk away.
For her.
For us.
For the sake of keeping the peace.

So, why am I standing outside Vesper’s door right now, ready to lay my heart on the line? And why am I about to speak the words I vowed to take to my grave?

Because now that I’ve had her in my bed, I’ll go to war to keep her—and our baby—forever.

What’s in my pocket..The New Romantics Series Edition ❤️🥅❤️🏒

ARC Review of Paper Rings by @authorbrittaneenicole ❤️

Oh to be back at the Brownstone!!!

The Mom Com series has such a special place in my heart, Mother Faker was my first read by Brittanee and I’ve been changed ever since! So to be back in the Brownstone for the New Romantics series, with so many characters we love all grown up really makes me emotional!! 😭

This was truly everything I needed it to be.

Chaotic, emotional, funny and so much love and support, my heart could burst just thinking about it.

Single dad, Friends to lovers, second chance and they are BOTH goalies? No crumbs were left. Not a single one.

Addie, Avery & JJ are 100% the dream team.

I can’t wait for the rest of this series and for all the shenanigans to come from my favorite Brownstone and my favorite blended family.

It’s such an honor to receive this ARC. I can’t wait for you all to fall head over heels for Addie, Avery & JJ!! Thank you @authorbrittaneenicole & @teambrittaneenicole ❤️

Available June 2!
