Blurb:

As a single mom, the holidays are chaos on another level. Working two jobs, running a cookie business, and trying to keep Christmas magical for my seven-year-old son is exhausting on a good day. So, I’m not sure why I thought I’d add dating to my never-ending to-do list. 

My date is a disaster, but the charming Brit playing piano at the bar—and later flirting with me over a pool table? Not so much.

One reckless night with Beck Hargrove feels harmless. 

Until I run into him the next day at my son's Winter Fest workshop and our one-night fling becomes a lot more complicated. 

Now the PTA moms think we’re together, my son is obsessed with him, and the ridiculously charming British man I was supposed to forget keeps showing up in all the worst places—my kitchen, my holiday plans, and very much in my head.

The more he helps with Winter Fest, charms everyone in Cedar Hollow, and looks at me like my messy life is something he actually wants, the harder it is to remember he won’t be staying. 

But Beck is always chasing his next adventure. 

And I can't afford to fall for a man who's only here for the holidays, no matter how much he's starting to feel like he belongs.

NOLAN BRADFORD Age: 29 Occupation: Airline pilot Location: Tampa Personal rule: No repeats Current problem: Finding reasons to break his own dating rule MASON MONROE Age: 23 Occupation: MMA fighter Location: Sacramento Personal rule: Don’t let anything get in the way of the next fight Current problem: Accidentally rejected the hot pilot When MMA fighter Mason Monroe accidentally rejects airline pilot Nolan Bradford on the dating app The Click, he doesn’t expect to run into him on his flight. He definitely isn’t prepared for one drink at their hotel to turn into a one-night stand. They go their separate ways, convinced that’s the end of it, until three months later, when they’re reunited as best men on a weeklong wedding cruise. Nolan has one rule when it comes to hookups: no repeats. But with Mason in the cabin next door and the attraction between them impossible to ignore, finding a loophole is way too tempting. Their vacation fling quickly turns into friends with benefits, with one agreement: whatever happens on the cruise ends when they get off the ship. Except neither of them wants it to. With Mason building his fighting career in Sacramento and Nolan based in Tampa, more than two thousand miles and two demanding schedules should make keeping things casual easy. Too bad walking away from each other gets harder every time they try.

This is Mason and Nolan's story, flirty, fun, and packed with heat. Their story starts when Nolan found Nolan through Click, a dating app. Through a mishap, a conversation to get to know one another falls through; they met by chance later on. We have to say, bringing up the whole rejected thing throughout the story became pretty funny. Mason, we found to be a talker, easygoing, wicked sense of humor, and all-around nice guy whose family annoys him yet loves them deeply and could not do without them. Nolan is more on the alpha side, is a straightforward guy, and his snark and banter are priceless; they will make you smile and laugh throughout the story. Gives off those daddy vibes even though he is not very old. You will find a found family vibe going on in this story as the characters are wonderful and act like one big happy family that is always in your business, and they loved teasing the budding romance between Nolan and Mason, especially with Mason, who was a one-and-done kind of guy. Nolan and Mason's chemistry was explosive, steamy, and pure fire. We loved the twist that brought them together once again. Their forced proximity gives them a chance to explore one another in a friends-with-benefits situation; it becomes clear early on that these two will not be able to walk away that easily. Mason looking for loopholes in his own rules had us grinning ear to ear. We loved seeing these two build something and the work and effort they put in to make a long relationship work. They had obstacles for sure, but not the kind that is an all-or-nothing kind of thing. This was a perfect bedtime read, the banter throughout this story had us constantly laughing and filled with lovable characters, and Mason's nickname for Nolan, Air Daddy, just to piss him off, was priceless every time we heard it; we laughed out loud . Great story these two authors did and fantastic job with this one, and we loved it.

Release Tour & Review for Little Ray of Pitch Black by Lani Lynn Vale

Title: Little Ray of Pitch Black

Series: Don't Date Him #11

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Tropes: Enemies to Lovers, Slow Burn

Age Gap, Troublemaker FMC

Release Date: November 3, 2026

BLURB

The A in Jessamy Darling’s name stands for a lot to deal with.

Her complete disregard for all forms of authority stems from a childhood past where her parents didn’t believe that her brother was a literal psychopath. From framing her for killing the family dog to stuffing her backpack full of prescription drugs, then reporting her, her brother has made it his life’s mission to make her as miserable as possible.

The moment she turned eighteen, she bailed from her parents’ house like the bottom of her feet were on fire. But if she thought that moving out would stop her brother’s punishments, she was wrong. He only gets more creative.

And by getting more creative, he starts to turn the town of Sawtooth against her.

No grandma, biker, or shop owner wants anything to do with her.

Eventually, she decides…fuck it.

If everyone was going to hate her anyway, why not give them a real reason to hate her?

***

For years, he’s been dealing with her attitude. Her complete disregard for anyone and anything should wear thin.

Except Black’s always had a soft spot for trouble.

And she’s Trouble with a capital T.

He’s pulled her out of more fires than he should have, and he probably should’ve locked her up and thrown away the key a long time ago.

But Black Adkins, sheriff of Jesper County, wasn’t elected into that position because he was a stand-up guy. He’s a rebel at heart, and Jessamy Darling is his kryptonite.

Putting Jessamy in a cage would break her, and he only wants to see her fly.

ADD TO GOODREADS

Prepare yourself for a storm of emotions, red-hot chemistry, and a plot that’ll keep you guessing. Lani Lynn Vale’s Little Ray of Pitch Black plunges us into a world where reputation is everything, and beneath the surface of small-town judgment lies a simmering darkness and unexpected hope.

The story centers on Jessamy, a young woman burdened by her brother's misdeeds and the town's unwavering condemnation. Branded a rebel, she embraces the moniker, but behind her defiant façade lies a vulnerability that catches the eye of Black, a man who sees the truth beyond the whispers. As Black uncovers the extent of Jessamy’s brother's manipulations, he finds himself fiercely protective of the resilient woman who has been unfairly cast out.

What truly shines in Little Ray of Pitch Black is the undeniable, scorching chemistry between Jessamy and Black. Their connection is palpable, crackling with an intensity that makes them an absolute delight to read. Vale excels at crafting characters who feel real, even in the heightened world of MC romance. Jessamy’s journey from ostracized to embraced by the Dixie Warden MC family is heartwarming, showcasing the power of found family. The plot itself is a masterclass in suspense, delivering twists and turns that will leave you breathless, secrets unraveling with satisfying impact. The raw emotion woven into Jessamy's story is profound, eliciting genuine sympathy and admiration for her strength.

While the intensity of the drama and the palpable heat between the leads are significant strengths, some readers might find the plot occasionally veers into very dark territory. The relentless nature of the challenges Jessamy faces, though central to her strength, can be emotionally taxing.

Fans of gritty MC romances who crave a potent blend of suspense, steamy passion, and characters who fight for their happily ever after. If you enjoy a heroine who possesses inner grit despite external pressures, and a hero who sees beyond the surface to protect and cherish, you’ll be captivated. I appreciate a fast-paced plot with plenty of surprises; you'll also find yourself hooked.

Takeaway: Little Ray of Pitch Black is a compelling read that delivers on its promise of intense romance and thrilling suspense. Lani Lynn Vale masterfully crafts a story of redemption and fierce protection, anchored by an unforgettable couple. If you're looking for a book that will ignite your senses and tug at your heartstrings, pick this one up. You won't regret following Jessamy and Black's journey.

Book Blitz & Giveaway for That Touch… by Christi Snow

That Touch…

Christi Snow

Publication date: September 10th 2021

Genres: Adult, Comedy, Contemporary, Romance

A swoon worthy, he falls first, love story filled with laughter, tears, and a surprisingly romantic work trip to the Colorado mountains where late night revelations change everything.

Izzy and Leo have been best friends since second grade.

Leo…

He’s been in love with Izzy almost ever since, and was sure someday she’d see him the same way he saw her…as more.

But someday never came and now Leo is twenty-seven years old and ready to shed his virginity, and heartbreak. It’s time for him to find someone else…besides Izzy.

But when she needs a last-minute photographer for the biggest advertising campaign of her career, he can’t let his best friend down. He’s already decided this will be their last job together.

Izzy…

She grew up in the fantasy world of romantic comedy movies that her mom idolized. That “ideal” man was so much better than the disappointing reality of her philandering father.

That same father is now Izzy’s boss, making her work her way up through the misogynistic ranks of his executive team at the family advertising firm. When her dream account wants to hire her, she takes it on, without consulting anyone else in the company.

This is her account, her chance to prove her worthiness.

Escape to romantic Colorado…

But she’s working under a time-crunch, which can make things dangerous on a snowy mountainside. This work trip to Colorado for a last-minute photoshoot has the potential to change everything when Leo and Izzy are faced with having to share a hotel room and the confusing world where attraction becomes a distraction.

They say never fall for your best friend.

How has Izzy never noticed Leo, the man, before? Unfortunately, that discovery may be too late, because he already has other plans, and they don’t include Izzy.

A snowy mountain small town never looked so romantic before, but family drama has a way of ruining everything…

EXCERPT:

Izzy

I paused Pillow Talk and crawled out from under my piles of blankets I’d cocooned myself in for my day of self-care so I could answer the door. Hopefully, my UberEats guy had known I needed my regular order from Tommy’s Tacos tonight, even if I hadn’t called and ordered it yet.

At this point I ordered so much, he could probably foresee my needs like that.

Maybe—and I knew this was sudden—I should date him. God, that was an idea. Forget the tall, dark, and handsome losers I kept dating who treated me like shit.

I glanced over at Rock Hudson, frozen on the screen. I should just accept my dream guy was an impossibility of fiction.

It was time to try something else. Give me a guy who could foresee my needs for tacos. Now that would be the perfect match.

I’d built this idea up in my head so much in the last few seconds crossing the room that my shoulders dropped when I opened the door and didn’t find the UberEats dreamboat.

“Oh, hi, Leo.”

I left the door open for him to come inside while I shuffled back to the couch.

“Wow, I feel the love,” he said from behind me as he followed me inside. “I’m overwhelmed by that welcome. Now, I’m sure I made the right decision to skip the wrap party of the West Coast Babes show to bring my sad friend her favorite Tommy’s Tacos.”

At the sound of my two favorite “t” words, I swung back around and realized that yes, Leo held the distinctive red and green greasy bag from Tommy’s.

I reached for it. “Oh my god. Forget my UberEats guy, you’re my dream guy.”

His eyes widened comically for a minute until I laughed. “You should see your face. Don’t worry, Leo, definitely no romance between us. You will always and forever be my BFF. I decided that twenty years ago. I will not change my mind about it this late in the game.”

Something weird flitted through his gaze before he frowned at me. If I weren’t spending the night wallowing in my broken heart, I might have considered it more.
