Full House meets 911 Lonestar for emotional, uplifting happily ever afters for a tightknit friend group with each book featuring a fresh, stand-alone story. Book one, Up All Night, features a sunshine/grump pairing with a forty-something firefighter on a path of self-discovery.

Up All Night is the first book in a new series by Annabeth Albert. It’s a small town romance series with first responders. I’m a huge fan of Annabeth’s, her writing and her heroes. This is Sean and Denver’s story. Sean is back home after his divorce staying with a friend who lost his partner. He’s filling in for a firefighter and enjoying being with his family and oldest friends. Then he meets the cook at the diner and is instantly intrigued by him. The first man he’s ever been attracted to. Denver doesn’t do relationships or roots. He’s a nomad and just works and stays somewhere for a while and then moves on. And then he meets Sean. He can’t seem to stay away from him or stop thinking about him, but he doesn’t want to be an experiment for the newly out firefighter. Sean wants more with Denver but knows he’s skittish. He has to figure out how to prove to him that he’s worthy of love, family and loyalty. I really enjoyed this story! Sean is so open about his feelings and doesn’t freak out about being attracted to Denver. Denver has a rough past so he just never learned how to trust anyone. I loved the secondary characters at the firehouse, Sean’s friends and his family. There was a weird interaction with Sean’s son at the end that didn’t sit well with me, but hopefully that will resolve itself. I’m looking forward to the next in the series!
New Release & Review – Mr. Important, Lucy Lennox & May Archer
March 14, 2024 | Posted in Release Day Blitz, Review | By Two Book Pushers
One New Year’s masquerade. One anonymous hookup. One billionaire-sized mistake.
Once upon a time, someone looked at my scrawny, impetuous eight-year-old self and nicknamed me Mr. Important… and I believed them.
That was my first mistake.
Two decades, a dozen failed careers, and a thousand meaningless hookups later, I’ve made more mistakes than I can count. My parents have decided I’m purely decorative, my brother thinks I need pep talks, and the gorgeous billionaire who hired me as a favor to my dad? He’s forgotten I exist.
So I’m done with mistakes.
Call it my New Year’s resolution. From now on, I’m going after what I want… starting with the mysterious silver fox in the Roman warrior mask who approached me at the charity gala and offered me a scorching, anonymous one-night stand.
Unfortunately, when our masks come off I realize mistakes are not done with me.
Because the bossy guy who blew my mind? He’d thought I was someone else. Worse than that, he’s my father’s friend. A supposedly-straight workaholic. The person I’m stuck on a road trip with for the next two weeks. And, oh yeah, my actual boss.
The farther we get from New York, the closer we become, and the harder it is to pretend I’m not falling for him. But I can’t see how someone as brilliant, controlled, and successful as Thatcher Pennington would risk everything to be with someone like me… even if he makes me feel like I’m finally Mr. Important.
Mr. Important is the next book in the Honeybridge series by Lucy Lennox and May Archer. This has some of my favorite tropes: Age gap, father’s friend and forced proximity. We met Reagan and Thatcher in Firecracker and I was so happy to hear this was their story. Older, billionaire friend of his dad’s and his boss who he has to spend weeks with on a bus cruising around the country for work. After one hot as sin night together. What?! Reagan is young, but he’s not innocent or naïve. He’s had a crush on Thatcher for a long time and now he has to pretend he doesn’t while he spends all day and night with him. Thatcher can’t stop thinking about the night they spent together. After spending time together he realizes Reagan is smart, dedicated, talented and nothing like his father always said he was. He’s captivating and charming all the people he meets. Most of all he’s charming Thatcher. Time’s almost up and Thatcher can’t stay away from Reagan anymore. Once he touches him again, he knows he’s going to want more and more. When they need to make a stop in Honeybridge, they have to deal with Thatcher’s son Brantleigh (who we also met in Firecracker), a disgruntled employee and Reagan’s family. It takes Reagan needing him for Thatcher to jump into action and want to be there for someone he loves. Yep, he fell in love with his friend’s son. But he’s not going back. I loved, loved, loved this story! Reagan and Thatcher are so fun and great together. They work so well together at the company and in the bedroom. I also loved McGee and some of the secondary characters. Don’t forget to get the bonus story!
Release Day Blitz & Review – Small Town Swoon, Melanie Harlow
March 4, 2024 | Posted in Release Day Blitz | By Two Book Pushers
Only in the movies does the Hollywood heartthrob fall for the small town diner waitress.
So when Dashiel Buckley returns to Cherry Tree Harbor for a wedding, I’m determined not to let my massive crush on my best friend’s older brother hijack my good sense.
(It happened once before. Do not recommend.)
But when my hand is injured, it’s Dash who steps in at the diner. The moment he realizes I can’t afford to fix my car, he takes care of it. And when he hears about the way my toxic ex treated me, he refuses to let it go.
Now it’s not just his blue eyes and sexy smile that have me swooning, it’s the way he wants to help me. Encourage me. Protect me.
I can’t resist.
Our text messages heat up. Our phone calls melt all my defenses. “Just friends” turns into “just once,” and “just once” becomes a distant memory. Night after night, he warms my bed, my body, and my heart.
But it can’t last.
Our dreams have us on two different paths–Dash wants the lights, camera, action of Hollywood, and I’ll always be a small town girl.
If only I could be his.
🍒 Friends with benefits
🍒 Best friend’s brother
🍒 He spoils her
🍒 Second chance romance
🍒 Protective hero
🍒 Secret crush
🍒 Small town girl x hollywood heartthrob

Small Town Swoon is the fourth book in the Cherry Tree Harbor series by the very talented, Melanie Harlow. You can read each book as standalone but I highly recommend reading the series. The Buckley men are swoon-y, sweet, protective, and full of surprises.
Dash needed to dig deep with his emotions to further his acting career and that first starts with going home. Then stripping down to his purest self (literally! Lol). He was headed home for his brother’s wedding so why not go early and be surrounded by the ones who know him best. What he didn’t expect was to want to spend so much time with the woman who hated him most. Or so he thought…
Ari has loved Dash since she was sixteen. After one humiliating night, she had tried to stay away from the famous actor. And now he was back and being all nice and $hit. He was showing over sides to him and she is here for it. Her walls are coming down but should they? After the wedding he was going back to LA and she was staying in Cherry Tree Harbor. Can they really go back to being friends after spending night after night in each other’s arms?
This might be my favorite of the series. I loved these two! The support they have for each other’s dreams is swoon-y in itself. Then add in their connection, it’s truly beautiful. I loved their journey!
Release Day Blitz & Reviews – The Surrogate, Penelope Ward
February 26, 2024 | Posted in Release Day Blitz | By Two Book Pushers
The Surrogate is Penelope Ward’s newest epic romance. If you read The Aristocrat then you have met Sigmund, Leo’s cousin. If you follow my reviews then you might know that I don’t read blurbs unless it’s a new-to-me author until I need to write the review (don’t want those spoilers) so I actually didn’t even know it was going to be his story. Once I discovered that it was it, I was obsessed. And the obsession just grew and grew from there. The blurb is perfection so I don’t want to get too much into the storyline.
Abby and Sig’s relationship is complicated times ten but from the meet-cute, I knew it was going to be a crazy, beautiful, and emotional ride. And a fun one too!! I loved their journey, it’s so unique and I felt I was right there with them along the way. In London. In the countryside. Like I was a guest in the inn Abby was staying in. I was invested. They just made me laugh, cry, swoon, and just think, really. It’s one of my favorite books of 2024. One of my favorite books ever. I loved it so much, it’s hard to put into words. Just read it. Period. It’s an unforgettable story.
The Surrogate is Penelope Ward’s newest romance and one of my favorites from her! I didn’t have the pleasure of reading The Aristocrat, but I still loved Sig from the start. He’s complicated, but deep down is a loving, sweet man. He’s still heartbroken after losing his wife, and really not sure what he’s doing with his personal life. When his in-laws want to use a surrogate to have a grandbaby from their daughter’s frozen eggs who passed away a few years ago and they ask for Sig’s sperm, he’s not sure what to do. He agrees to meet the surrogate even though he doesn’t trust her. He’s instantly attracted to her and that is bad, bad, bad. They can’t stop fighting and exchanging barbs. He can’t fall for her. She can’t want him. But oh do they and they can! I loved watching Sig and Abby fight and then really get to know each other. It’s a complicated relationship and situation, but it’s fun, emotional, sexy and I loved every minute of it!
Release Blitz – On the Edge, K. Bromberg
January 18, 2024 | Posted in Release Day Blitz, Review | By Two Book Pushers
On The Edge by K. Bromberg is now live!
A spicy, only-one-bed, Formula 1 romance from New York Times bestselling author, K. Bromberg.
Surely this can’t be the only solution to overhaul my tarnished rep— faking a romance with the good girl intern?
But that’s what my agent says. Just a few months of taming my ways—of shedding Formula 1’s party boy image—will land me a lifetime branding deal. One I desperately need.
The key condition?
Pretend I’m madly in love with my new girlfriend. The quiet wallflower who I figured wouldn’t put me in my place. Yeah. This girl is anything but that.
Maddix Hart is defiant and intelligent. Loyal and real. Determined and sexy. And damn it to hell, before I know it, she’s in my head, in our bed . . . and if I’m not careful, she’ll see there’s more to me than the man I show the public. She’ll discover the man I hide from the world. The one who struggles to live up to the unrealistic expectations that should never have been mine.
All I have to do is make sure no one sees the truth behind our farce.
But instead, I let my heart get involved. I begin to believe the lie. And now with everything on the line—the deal, a championship, us—am I willing to risk it all to make her see what the rest of the world believes? That we belong together.

Release Blitz & Review – What Happens at the Lake, Vi Keeland
January 15, 2024 | Posted in Release Day Blitz, Review | By Two Book Pushers
What Happens at the Lake is Vi Keeland’s newest standalone. If you follow my reviews then you know I don’t read blurbs until I need to write the review so I don’t spoil anything so all I knew was that there was a lake involved. Lol. It’s a beautiful setting, really. I fell for Laurel Lake and the people living there.
Josie grew up in Manhattan but her father was raised in America’s Friendliest Town, Laurel Lake. She always wanted to visit the town her father was so fond of but her mother never wanted to go back. Now, was her chance after a tenant moved out of her father’s home, the one she inherited when she was only thirteen. She had three months to give the home a little TLC and get to know the town her father loved. When she got there, the unexpected happened… She met the grumpiest yet hottest man she has ever laid eyes on. Her neighbor. A man who spoke in grunts.
Fox didn’t need this woman living next door, even temporarily. She was a hot mess emphasis on hot. He knew she was trouble. Not just because he knew he would end up helping her with the house but because this town was about to make the phone lines spark with gossip. Small-town living, right? He loved and hated it at the same time. He knew he was an asshole but it is what it is. He didn’t like change…
And everything was about to change.
Damn…I love a grump, especially one with a good heart deep down. I also love a woman who doesn’t give up when trying to find that good heart. Vi absolutely killed it with these characters and their story. It’s fun. It’s sexy. It’s emotional. Oh, did I mention that Fox is an ex-pro hockey player? Extra yum!
P.S. I love Daisy Duck 🦆
What Happens at the Lake is Vi Keeland’s newest romance and I loved everything about it. Grumpy hero, smart, capable heroine who are next door neighbors! Josie is looking for a place to heal so she goes to her dad’s hometown. She never thought she’d fall so fast for the town and its people. On her very first day, she hits her neighbors mailbox and he’s less than thrilled. But even though he’s the grumpiest grump alive, he keeps showing up to help her. Just little things and then more and more. Fox does not have time for his sexy new neighbor. But he can’t keep his eyes or his thoughts off her. He eventually gives in and helps her fix up her house. The more he gets to know her, the more he wants to know. And for the first time in a very long time, it’s more than just sexual attraction. He likes her. She makes him smile, and he never smiles. Everyone notices, especially Josie. He just can’t stop himself so he asks her out. Knowing the gossip mill is going to explode. He doesn’t care. He wants her and that’s it. When his past threatens to upend the new life he wants he needs to make a big decision. Let Josie go or chase after her. Oh my word! I loved this story. I laughed out loud so many times I lost count. I smiled, snickered and had to fan myself. I love Laurel Lake! Josie founds more than Fox there, she found her old self. She found a new family. Josie brought Fox back to life and reminded him what’s it feels like to be happy. Overall, I loved it. Every page, every character, everything. I even loved Daisy the duck! Ha!

Thoroughly Pucked is the third book in the My Hockey Romance series by Lauren Blakely. I’m loving this series and these characters. I fell hard and fast for Dev and Ledger! I already loved Aubrey and was excited to see her get the double d that she’s been wishing for. She’s left at the altar and saved by her brother’s best friends. Dev and Ledger have always liked Aubrey so they have no problem being there for her. Taking her wherever she needs to go and trying to help her get through the worst day of her life. They never expected to end up on a three-way honeymoon but they are here for it. When there’s only one bed things heat up. Aubrey never thought she’d be equally attracted to two men at the same time, but here she is. In one bed with them both. Dev always had a thing for Aubrey and he can’t believe his luck. Ledger was always attracted to her, but the timing was never right. Now the three of them are together, alone and all bets are off. It’s temporary, just until they get back home. But what happens if they want more? Do they want more? Hell yes they do! Dev and Ledger and are all in, but Aubrey needs a little time to sort out her life. Time they are willing to give her if it means they get to have her for real at the end. Oh man! I loved this story. So. Hard. The heat, the fun, the banter, the laughs, the sexiness. All perfection! Dev with his carefree attitude and love for hockey and family. Ledger with his broodiness and decisions he needs to make about what comes next. And Aubrey with her dreams, fantastic friends and hope. It’s the perfect romance!
Audio: Wowzas! Samantha, Teddy and Jason slayed this one! They were the perfect Aubrey, Dev and Ledger. My ears are still happy!
Throughly Pucked is the third MFM book in the My Hockey Romance series by Lauren Blakely. This series is bringing the heat and emotions. You can read each one as standalone but I highly recommend reading the series since it’s fun, delicious, and even inspiring.
On Aubrey’s wedding day she become single after her fiancé decided that he would rather be a f*ck boy than a married man. Her day was looking up when she saw two men, her brother’s best friends take her away in a getaway car. They were exactly what she needed. Two friends to make her laugh, turn the day into a fun night. That was when she remembered the honeymoon…
Dev and Ledger didn’t want their time with Aubrey to end. She had a honeymoon planned and paid for and it was still the off-season so she agrees that they can whisk her away for a week of fun. She had no idea how much fun it would be. Between great activities during the day and heated activities at night it was life-changing. She never thought she would fall into bed with one of her brother’s best friends but she was falling in with two and they didn’t mind one bit. It made their connection elevated and beautiful. But is she ready for more than a week of being throughly pucked by these amazing men? They had an expiration date and that was it.
Damn, Gina! Lauren made my iPad steam up with this one! It’s not all about the hotness though. Aubrey was learning more about herself and what she wants in life. Dev and Ledger are supportive and figuring out their own futures. I absolutely loved everything about their story and can’t wait for the next book!

Reeve is a companion novel in the All of Me series by the ever-talented and one of my favorite authors, Siobhan Davis. You can NOT read this as a standalone. Believe me, you will want start at the beginning. It’s one of my favorite series. Ever. I don’t want to get into the storyline especially since if you read the series then you know what happens with Vivien’s POV. I will say that I loved getting Reeve’s POV. We knew he was going through some difficult times but this book dives deeper into his reality. It’s heartbreaking. Don’t get me wrong, I still wanted to knock some sense into him but we get a better understanding of all the hurts and betrayals. He was a determined young man who just wanted the love of his life. His only love. His best friend. He wanted to give her everything but lost his way. It’s an epic roller coaster ride and I am so glad Siobhan gave us his side of the story. I loved that it was just a retelling of the same story. Most of it is brand-new scenes! I can’t wait for Dillon’s! 💚

BLURB:
Enemies turn to lovers, but can they trust each other as they chase the same prize? A sexy romantic comedy adventure from #1 NYT Bestseller Lauren Blakely…
I live my life by three simple rules. Don’t mix business with pleasure. Always work solo. And family comes first.
But when I head to the tropics for a quick job and meet a fiery woman who makes my pulse roar, I can’t resist bending the first rule for her.
Trouble is, after we spend a scorching night together on the beach, I discover she’s my new enemy. The quick-witted and clever beauty is on a treasure hunt for the same damn prize – beating me in a race to find millions in stolen diamonds.
See you later, sexy stranger.
Too bad I keep bumping into my gorgeous rival all over this tropical paradise as we chase clues.
Maybe it’s better to partner up. But, the more time we spend together sneaking into nightclubs and art galleries, the harder it is to keep my hands off her. And soon, I’m not just sleeping with my very irresistible enemy.
I’m starting to give her my heart.
That breaks my biggest rule of all. Don’t ever fall in love. Because it always screws you over.
*Note: A Real Good Bad Thing will be entirely new to most of you! Some of you might have read an older series of mine called The Jewel series (now off sale). That two-book storyline serves as the source material for this new story, which has been changed to 1st person, and turned into a standalone, with all new dialogue, motivations, setting and so on! But if there’s a touch of the familiar to some of you that’s why!

The Whole Time is the fourth book in the D’Angelo’s series by Catherine Bybee. I’m loving this series full of Italians, family, friends, wine, food and love. We’ve met both Serena (family friend and Chloe’s best friend) and Ryan (Emma’s brother) before and I was so excited when I found out they were getting a story. Together! They are both wild, carefree, not interested in following in the footprints of their families and hard workers. When they meet at Emma’s wedding, sparks fly and some flirty shenanigans just make the night epic. Ryan knows Serena is skittish, but he’s in for the long haul. He’s going to wait her out, charm her and make her fall for him. It’s not as hard as he thought it was going to be! Serena wants to be on her own. Take care of herself and earn money her way. Being with Ryan jeopardizes that, right? He’s rich, she’s not. What will people think? Turns out, Ryan is more down to earth and sweeter than she thought. He’s also not flaunting his money and he works hard to earn his own. So what’s holding her back? Nothing really! When Serena decides she’s in, she jumps! I loved these two! They are perfect for each other. While both wild, they are also grounded. They are also adults who communicate. Serena may be less forthcoming, but Ryan knows this and loves it about her. A few secrets won’t tear them apart. I loved seeing the family again! Overall, I loved it! I laughed, teared up, cheered and smiled a lot. Ryan is swoonworthly!
