    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): Mature audience

    Red-haired Petey Cavanaugh is a sculptor who welds steel and glass creations. A young widow, she lives on her in-laws’ sheep ranch in Montana where she helps out during the day, working on her art at night.

    Looking to raise money to expand the ranch’s business, she gratefully accepts her art school roommate’s offer of a gallery show in Manhattan. It’s been years since she was in the city, and she’s happy to visit her old friend.

    Nik is in New York on business. He’s been traveling for nearly a month, enduring endless meetings, attending obligatory dinners, and battling jet-lag. On his way to yet another business dinner, his world collides with Petey’s one rainy Manhattan night.

    Their mutual attraction is immediate, but Nik’s skeptical. Could it possibly be that this gorgeous, enchanting artist has no idea that he’s Europe’s most eligible prince?

    Spending time with Petey is Nik’s first-ever taste of ordinary. What will happen when she finds out the truth?

    Genre Contemporary Romance, Military
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
    Ridge “Take ’em off, Tucker. Tucker. Tucker…” Ridge Romano is an inventor, Ranger, mentor, the consummate planner. So how did he wind up on stage in nothing but his trousers and tie beside two cover models, with a hundred women screaming at him to take it off? It seemed like a recipe for harmless fun. One curious CEO follows a gorgeous redhead onto the conference floor. Add a hundred romance writers at a “meeting”. Toss in some false assumptions. Throw out a lifetime of good behavior and Ridge is up to his Special Forces tattoo in manure. Now to make sure no one finds out…
    Luc Larue knows how it looks when the sexy cop and her partner respond to a silent alarm at the grocery where he stopped for a six-pack. Luc’s job with KPI requires certain…attire and equipment.
    The tall, dark and deadly looking mercenary Delilah Burke confronts at the robbery scene is sexy as sin, but is he a hero or a con? Then, trouble arrives from his past and Del is faced with a choice to believe the evidence against Luc, or trust her heart.
    Nick What happened? He’d been dodging the lightning, fighting the wind and rain, looking for a place to hide…when he’d seen the faint glow in the distance. There was no answer at the door so he’d broken in, entered… and there she was, a beautiful Valkyrie. Wielding her sword, she screamed as she struck him—for no good reason—and then everything went black. Everything.

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Pittsburgh Privateers third baseman Gavin Sullivan is home on Anna Maria Island with a lot on his mind: his mother’s recent battle with breast cancer and, now, the surprising news his oldest brother, Colby, is a twin. Gavin has a sister he’s never met, and worse, he’s sworn to secrecy while his parents try to find her. Is it any wonder he shows up to spring training thirty pounds heavier than last season? Armed with a complicated diet and a warning from Coach Zee, Gavin feels wrecked, until he finds a half-naked goddess on his parents’ stretch of beach. Funny how the body that has been making him feel so miserable lately suddenly has him flying high.
    Curve model Emerson Raye wants to prove the naysayers back home in West Virginia wrong. Big is beautiful, too. All she has to do is land a spot in the Sports Unlimited Swimsuit Edition by convincing America to vote for her. When pro athlete Gavin Sullivan stumbles onto her oceanfront photo shoot and asks her out for drinks, Emerson and her assistant concoct a plan to leak photos of the date to the media and create the vote-getting buzz Emerson needs. Soon, Emerson realizes there’s more to Gavin than meets the eye, and their temporary, no-strings relationship heats up. But can something lasting survive under harsh media scrutiny when secrets threaten to sabotage everything?

    QUICK

    Do you write more than one genre? If so, what are they?…
    I write strictly contemporary romance but not always sports romance. One of my most popular series is a small-town romance.
    How do you come up with ideas?…
    I get ideas from everywhere: dreams, news, real-life experiences, and even music. I’ve been daydreaming stories to music since I was a little kid.
    What is the single most important part of writing for you?…
    The single most important part of writing for me is purveying hope. I believe there is always a happy ending, whether we recognize it or not. If I can give my readers a reason to feel good or a way to escape into a happy bubble for however long they are reading, then I feel like I’ve done what I’ve been put on this earth to do.
    When did you write your first book?…
    I wrote my first book more than fifteen years ago, but it remains unpublished because it’s not very good. It was a sports romance (baseball), and I wrote it in the basement playroom while I monitored my little boys, who were shooting hockey pucks off the cement-block walls. It was just a way for me to pass the time back then. I’m not sure I ever would’ve believed I would have actually published romance novels fifteen years later. I love that about life.

    Lost on Anna Maria Island

    Genre Contemporary
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Florida Warriors star defensive end, Colby Sullivan, is the best in the business, but since his parents dropped the news that he not only had a biological sister but a biological twin sister, he’s been on his heels. He feels like he’s in the middle of a cover defense with no one backing him on the strong side. Colby knows, as the eldest, it is his job to keep the family going, but he can’t figure out what all this means to him with the daily interruptions from either his well-meaning parents or his rallying brothers. A flirtation with the girl next door is the perfect distraction, but all too soon she’s way past his defenses and heading for a touchdown that his heart just isn’t ready for.
    Between her baby sister’s wedding and her job rehabbing Colby’s image, Madalyn Hunter is holding on by a thread. Mad understands football, cover defenses, and option offenses, but dealing with sneaky paparazzi, her sister’s obsession with the perfect wedding, and Colby’s not-friend-like kisses has her ready to throw a Hail Mary. The more time she spends with Colby, the harder it is to resist the gorgeous man who has always been her best friend. It’s fourth and goal with love on the line, but can Madalyn teach this star defender that the best way to protect his heart is to give it to her?
    Why did you write this book?
    I was approached by Elley Arden to work together on a continuity about a family in the sports world. The sons of a famous sports personality, famous in their own right, are thrown by a long-held secret. In my book Colby, the eldest, must wrestle not only with what this secret means for him, but how it colors his view of the father he’s looked up to, and at the same time, he’s been having not-friendly thoughts about his best friend, Madalyn. So there is all this emotion and angst and romance – it was such a fun story to write!
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    It mostly depends on my mood, although I’ll never turn down a contemporary romance! I’ve been really into romantic suspense lately.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    Gosh, there are so many! I adore Westley from The Princess Bride, and I have yet to meet a hero (or heroine) of Nora Roberts’ that I don’t love, but right now, my favorite fictional character is Holly from Jane Porter’s The Frog Prince. Her vulnerability and strength is amazing!
    What are you working on at the moment?
    I’m working on a new series – which remains untitled right now! – and a women’s fiction project that I hope to be able to share a bit more about very soon!

    Returning for Valentine’s by Victoria Pinder

    Victoria Pinder
    If two people love one another but neither of them knows about another’s feelings, can there ever be a happily-ever-after?

    Beth Corsini has been in deeply love with Nathan for as long as she can remember. But they were never anything other than friends. Until one night, he just took off.

    The only thing left for Beth to do is to try her best to move on. Date other men. She believes that engaging in speed-dating can help her get over Nathan and be happy again. Until none other than her childhood love shows up at a Valentine’s Day event, and that illusion is shattered.

    Nathan Sommers loves Beth more than he’s ever loved anyone. But his mother is against the union. Nathan belongs with a heiress, she believes. So he vanishes. Until one Valentine’s Day, him and Beth are reunited.

    Can their love withstand the test of time and other challenges posed? Set in Miami, Flordia, Victoria Pinder’s “Returning for Valentine’s” is heartfelt, gripping and is sure to make more than a few readers swoon!

    What Happens in Sturgis

    Tracey Cramer-Kelly#FreeBookFriday Valentine's weekend free books Victoria Pinder @victoriapinder #FreeBook #RLFblog
    Mixing business with pleasure…
    For Vince, general manager of Dream Machines Custom Motorcycles, the annual trip to the world famous motorcycle rally in Sturgis, South Dakota is never about just business. Every year there are plenty of cool bikes and hot women, both of them ready for a laid-back joyride. But this year the boss sent along the company’s newest hire—a woman. And Tori is all business.
    Kissing is overrated…
    She may manage the order process at Dream Machines, but with a degree in biology, Tori isn’t just another pretty face. As Vince and Tori become a finely-tuned team in the sales booth, he also discovers she’s not as straight-laced as he’d thought. Then late one night he reveals a secret he’s never shared with anyone—and the reason he doesn’t like kissing.
    Never too late to learn…
    The fact that Vince avoids kissing has never stopped him from getting what he wants from women. But Tori is determined to teach him what he’s been missing: Slow, sweet, mind-blowing, heart-racing kissing. But when their fragile new romance is threatened, will Tori kiss him goodbye? Does what happens in Sturgis only last as long as the rally? Or can Vince find it in himself to make the kissing last forever?

    Two Truths and A Lie from the Lawbreakers Box Set

    Genre – Contemporary Romance

    If you love hot billionaire romances, then this is a must read.
    From the author of the Two Hearts One Love Trilogy, multi-published, hot romance author Daryl Devoré’s latest book revolves around deceit, betrayal, passion and the theft of a multi-million-dollar, rare, red diamond.
    As if multiple planes crashes, a car accident, and a concussion isn’t enough, carefree Byn and straight-lace billionaire, Mark clash over Byn’s need for independence and Mark’s struggle with guilt pushing him in the opposite direction of love. When an art forger, an art thief and a ninety-year-old woman get involved the chance for true love for Byn and Mark fades.
    All is lost until a children’s game is their only hope.

    QUICK

    Do you write more than one genre? If so, what are they?…
    I only write romance, but the sub-genres are endless – from contemporary to medieval from sweet to hot.
    How do you come up with ideas?…
    Usually my imagination, but for this box set we had a theme of a lawbreaker that we had to work the story around.
    What is the single most important part of writing for you?…
    I have absolutely no idea. I’ve never thought about it. I guess the fun of letting my imagination run wild. Society like to place us in boxes. Make us conform to rules. But even inside a box my imagination is free.
    When did you write your first book?…
    In gr 10 – in a creative writing class. It is hilarious to read – it’s so bad.

Daryl loves to take long walks on her quiet country road or snowshoe across the back acres, and in the summer, kayak along the St. Lawrence River.
