Star-Crossed Assistant by Sarah Deeham is the fourth book in the author’s Falling for Famous series, but the first book of the series I have read. It won’t be the last. This was such a fun, slow-burn, forced proximity, workplace romance. But with the added caveat of Celebrity life thrown in. As you can imagine, things become a wee bit complicated for the two leads, and I loved every single second of it. So, let’s talk about it, shall we?
Have you ever started a book and just immediately known you were going to fall in love with it? Not just the writing style or the author’s storytelling ability, but from a single moment or line from a character? Yeah, that’s what happened to me today with HOLDING ON by Liz Colbert. Holding On is the third book in the author’s The Callahan’s series and can be read and enjoyed as a standalone read.
The Game by Sam Whitelock is an enemy-to-lovers, forced proximity, workplace romance. It’s written in dual POV with open door spice and I quickly discovered that once I started reading it, I didn’t want to put it down.
Huntsman is everything I love about reading romance, and it perfectly showcases why I love reading Naima Simone’s work. The book is fun, fearless, dark, sexy, and all the things in between. But don’t take my word for it. Check it out for yourself and then come back here and read my full review of it.
My Favorite Holidate was a happy light at a time when I seriously needed a feel-good romance to sweep me away. It had the perfect amount of heart, humor, and holiday spirit while also showcasing everything I love about some of my favorite hooks and tropes.
Icebreaker by Kat Mizera and Elise Faber is the first book in the author duo’s new Gamebreakers hockey romance series. It is an enemies to lovers mistake identity, and rags to riches story that is now available on all platforms.

Today on the blog, we are diving in to talk about Tempting the Tight End by Lisa Suzanne. Tempting the Tight End is the third book in the author’s Nash Brothers series and features Asher Nash. It is a spicy, forbidden, coach’s daughter, workplace romance that offers readers a whole lot of spicy fun.
Undeniably Infatuated by J Saman is a forbidden, brother’s ex, forced proximity romance. It essentially takes place in two parts, the first on a boat trip that wasn’t supposed to happen between them, and the second two years later. I had the chance to read an early copy of this one and I love that I’m finally able to share my thoughts on it.

This year, all I want for Christmas is to not see my ex-boyfriend’s wife flashing her baby bump all around town. When my best friend gifts me a week at a mountain cabin, I jump at the chance to get out of Saddle Creek for the holidays. Except instead of solitude and hot cocoa, I find the last thing I expect: Luca Daniels.
Not only is Luca the hottest guy I’ve ever known, but he’s also my best friend’s older brother. Apparently, he thinks the cabin is his for the week. But this is my vacation and I’m too stubborn to leave. If he finds my infectious Christmas joy annoying, then he can choke on a sugar plum! We’ve never gotten along and could legitimately argue about anything. So color me surprised when we’re snowed in together, and I realize the line between love and hate just might be thinner than the stripes on a candy cane.
Get on board with @SoSavvyTraveler!
Lucy Gonzalez might have once been a stressed personal assistant, but now she’s hitched up her grandma’s bitchin’ vintage Airstream and hitting the road with all the best places to find cheap eats and see the sights on a shoestring budget.
And she has company along for the ride. If those thirst-worthy abs seem familiar, it’s because they belong to billionaire Miles Hart. True story, he used to be Lucy’s boss until she quit on him. Something about not being appreciated? Anyway, you will appreciate Miles—and his groveling—plenty on this trip.
Now, you have front-row seats to the hottest trip of the year. Sparks! Fireworks! Unexpected smooching! And you won’t want to miss the jaw-dropping surprise that will make this destination totally worth the hilarious journey…
A new persona. A new life. But none of that would save me from them.
The Fallen are ruthless, demanding, and vicious, and they want me.
I thought I could hide from my past, but they know who I am, what I am. They want vengeance. And they will take it, no matter what.
I moved to Chicago six months ago, determined to finally open my own bakery. My landlady was this sweet woman who treated me like her granddaughter. Then she sold the house. Now the devil himself is my landlord and neighbor since I live in the guesthouse on his property.
Declan Maxwell is moody, unreasonable, and takes himself far too seriously. Unfortunately for me, he’s also damn sexy.
She was a temptation I could no longer deny…
We were family, but not by blood. I married her mother when she was eleven years old, and I cared for her like she was my own. I never looked at Aleah with anything more than parental affections. Until she started taunting me…
She was my sister’s best friend until tragedy struck, then she became my world. I wanted to stay with her and build a life together, but the pain from our past made a future impossible.
While she ran away from the memories and rose to fame, I left on a mission to seek vengeance. Then a call came that changed everything and our worlds collided once again, but this time, there was no going back.
He was her first love. She was his.
They broke up to follow their dreams.
Axel Forrester became a world famous drummer.
Tara Stillman became a veterinarian.
Years later, he’s scrolling social media and sees they’re both in East Hampton, NY.
Fate? Or Coincidence?
What’s a rockstar to do other than borrow his friend’s dog as an excuse to see the good doctor.
And—show up at her office after all this time.
Axel wants a second chance with the one who got away. He’s not going to let Tara go this time.
Today on Okie Dreams, we have a book review and giveaway for The Dragon’s Bride by Katee Robert.
Briar Rose might have a name out of a storybook, but she learned at a very young age that no prince was coming to save her. She’ll have to save herself. Unfortunately, even that is an impossible task in her current situation—trapped in a terrifying marriage to a dangerous man.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, which is how she finds herself making a deal with a demon. Freedom from her husband…in return for seven years of service.
She expects the service to be backbreaking and harsh. She doesn’t expect to be put on an auction block in a room full of literal monsters and sold to the highest bidder.
To Sol.
A dragon.
I was five years old when I met the love of my life. He was my best friend’s older brother, but he was also my friend. We shared popsicles, we hunted for shark teeth on Folly Beach, and told each other secrets. But everything changed when we became teenagers.
Returning to Magnolia Sound was never part of the plan. Then again, Parker Bishop rarely had one. Yet after confessing her love to her best friend right before his wedding, she needs time to lick her wounds from the disastrous scene that unfolds. After the unsympathetic welcome she receives from her parents and siblings, Parker finds herself absentmindedly driving through town in search of a place to stay.
That’s when she spots the flier and a familiar name…
Know what they say about never mixing business with pleasure? Yeah, no. The one about never sleeping with your boss? I ignored it too. I blame Aslan Spearman, the boss. He’s a wealthy playboy who doesn’t believe in happily ever after. He’s demanding, a workaholic, and cynical. He’d rather have a root canal than be in a romantic relationship. Do you want to know a secret? I think he’s afraid of love.
A Mafia crown to claim …
The crown had always been Luc Savino’s. He just didn’t know it until a Chicago Mafia boss persuades him to board a jet and assume his destiny. But he won’t go without Summer—a one-night stand, his new, secretive executive assistant and probable spy for the former CEO of his latest hostile takeover.
She can only run so far before they find her…
After a mob boss viciously attacks Summer Johansson in her apartment, she flees the state to hide. But when she learns of her best friend’s murder and finds herself in the arms of a handsome stranger, her troubles escalate as she’s dragged into the heart of the very world she’s running from.
“Teach me something dirty.”
That’s what my student, Miss Luna Hendrix, whispered to me the night I rescued her from a handsy boy from school.
Despite her filthy words and the way my body begged to take hers, she screamed innocence.
I really shouldn’t. It was wrong to want to stain her purity.
But I did. I gave her lessons no teacher should give their student.
She wanted dirty, so I laid my hands on her and gave her raw. I made her mine.
She screamed my name so prettily, and in doing so, she made me hers.
As if things aren’t already tough enough as the only girl on a college football team, Coach had to go and assign Zeke Collins as my roommate.
A cocky kick returner and my brother’s best friend who should have been ripped of that title years ago, he’s as infuriating as he is undeniably sexy.
I hate him, and for good reason — reason I won’t ever let him forget.
