Forever in Alaska by Belle Calhoune

Posted December 8, 2025 by Marsha in Christmas Romance, Contemporary Romance, Forever (Grand Central Publishing), Holiday Romance, NetGalley, Series, Sexual Content, Small Town Romance / 0 Comments

The youngest of three brothers, Landon Stone would do anything for his grandmother, Hattie—even return to his hometown of Moose Falls. Hattie’s heart is set on her grandsons taking over the family business—and finding their happily-ever-afters in Alaska. When Hattie gets the idea that Landon is romantically entangled with his gorgeous colleague, Bailey Daniels, Landon doesn’t just go along with it—he asks Bailey to join the ruse.

Bailey isn’t sure if she agrees because she adores Hattie for helping her family through their darkest times . . . or because she finds the charmingly nerdy Landon completely irresistible. Either way, it’s extremely easy to appear totally into him. But as they collaborate at work—and after hours—to make Hattie’s Christmas extra special, Bailey and Landon’s relationship starts to feel all too real. What if the only people Landon and Bailey are fooling this season… are themselves?

As a busy ER intern, Holly Vincent doesn’t have time for extracurricular activities.

But when she’s stranded in a broken elevator for a few hours with irritatingly cocky, hotter-than-the-sun, downstairs neighbour Danny Colton, she decides to bend her rules and let the filthy-mouthed hottie talk her into having some fun.

Drummer by night, and maintenance man by day, Danny Colton is more than happy to show bookish Dr Prim what she’s been missing out on. After all, what else are they going to do until they’re rescued?

But when it’s back to reality, one wild tryst night isn’t enough for Danny, and whilst they’re drawn to each other like magnets, Holly has no time for dating between study and the unrelenting exhaustion of shiftwork.

Suddenly, though, Danny’s world changes in the form of a surprise billion-dollar inheritance, and he figures it could be the key to winning Holly’s heart. Wrong. He soon finds out that money can’t buy him love. For that, he’s going to need to be much more creative!

A stranger with no name. A family with too much to hide. And a storm that could bury the truth forever.

Private investigator Samantha Price thought winter in Marietta, Montana, might slow things down. But with the high-profile trial of Benjamin Bennet dominating headlines, and her agency, Honor’s Edge Investigations, busier than ever, there’s no rest in sight. Especially when a rugged John Doe—who looks alarmingly like Nate Bennet—walks in seeking help to uncover his past.

DNA says he’s family. But there’s no record of who he was before. No name. No past. No trail to follow.

The deeper Sam and Nate dig into the tangled branches of the Bennet family tree, the more disturbing the picture becomes. As long-buried secrets come to light, their search for answers draws unwanted attention—and someone will do anything to keep those answers hidden.

When a dangerous storm descends on the mountains, Marietta is cut off—and so are Sam and Nate. Now, the clock is ticking. Can they uncover the truth in time to give a man back his name…without losing their lives in the process?

Posted December 6, 2025 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Christmas Romance, Contemporary Romance, Holiday Romance, Previously Published, Series, Sexual Content, Small Town Romance, Tule Publishing / 0 Comments

Snow is falling, tempers are flaring… but opposites attract…

Stevie Evans is over the moon when her best friend announces she’s getting married. She’s all in for the planning… until she learns she’ll be working side-by-side with the bride’s oh-so-serious brother, Brant. Years ago, sparks flew between them—of the argument variety—and she’s kept her distance ever since. But this time, the aisle is too short to avoid him, and the spark feels suspiciously like attraction.

Brant Gilroy likes his life neat, predictable, and well-structured—unlike Stevie, who’s basically a walking bundle of chaos. But with his career suddenly on shaky ground, and his sister’s dream wedding set for the family’s tree farm, he can’t say no to helping… even if it means teaming up with the one woman who drives him up a wall.

As wedding decorations are hung and snowflakes fall, their clash of styles starts to look a lot like sizzling chemistry. But can two former enemies pull off a picture-perfect wedding—and maybe discover they’re the perfect match?

Autumn in the Rearview by Linnea March

Posted December 5, 2025 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Contemporary Romance, Series, Sexual Content, Small Town Romance / 0 Comments

Everyone else is cruising ahead—so why are they stuck in neutral?  A one-night stand, hot spring hikes, busted tires, and one bed. This road trip is about to change everything.

Sweet Autumn. Kind Autumn. Always means well, doesn’t she, Autumn.

Being underestimated was something Autumn Townsend knew all too well. Sure, no one took her seriously, but they depended on her. While everyone around her moves on, Autumn remains the same—kind, chaotic, and most of all, stuck.

There was no world in which Nicolai Evjen was going to get himself into a serious relationship again. After his last one ended tragically eight years before, he had closed himself off from ever feeling that pain again. The last thing he needs is a complication.

And Autumn is the worst kind of trouble there is. She’s reckless, too young, distractingly beautiful—and his best friend’s sister.

Nico knows better than to let her anywhere near the driver’s seat. She’ll take the wheel and leave nothing behind—not his sanity, not his peace, and certainly not his heart.

But one impulsive night changes everything. Now, trapped together in an old car with a jammed Eagles tape and thousands of miles of open road, they’re forced to reconsider who they really are—and what they might be together.

When a life-changing secret comes to light, Autumn and Nico must decide how far they’ll travel to make a life together or risk losing the future they never thought they wanted.
