Caught Looking by Nicole Helm

Posted April 30, 2026 by Marsha in Contemporary Romance, Kindle Unlimited, Paranormal Romance, Series, Sexual Content, Small Town Romance / 0 Comments

After being orphaned as a teen, Lara Townsend has been by her grandmother’s side, helping her run the family’s legacy—the Wild Rose Point History Center. Tired of loss, she’s sworn off any new people in her life. She’s happy with her grandmother, her best friend, Ty, and the ghosts she believes haunt the museum.

Ty Wagner’s entire life has been baseball—long after he fell out of love with the game, but his father’s expectations kept him beating his head against the brick wall of a sport that didn’t want him. Now, he’s nearing thirty, and there’s nothing left, just Wild Rose Point and abject failure. Luckily, he still has what’s always kept him going when baseball and his dad’s expectations felt like too much: The Townsend women. Helping out at their Wild Rose Point History Center seems like a good place to be while he figures out what’s next.

Without baseball, life in Wild Rose Point looks different for Ty. He gets to settle down, plant some roots, and see what grows. Meanwhile, with Ty in one place—her space—for more than a few weeks at a time, Lara has to contend with that old high school crush that has a lot more to it than thinking his blue eyes are cute.

Both Lara and Ty have known disappointment and loss all their lives. Believing in something this good is going to take a miracle…

And maybe some help from a few friendly Wild Rose Point ghosts.

Lonesome Ridge by Maisey Yates

Posted April 17, 2026 by Marsha in Contemporary Romance, Kensington Books, Kindle Unlimited, Modern Western Romance, NetGalley, Series, Sexual Content, Small Town Romance / 0 Comments

Good guys and bad guys . . . myth and legend . . . gold and ranching. That’s what historic Rustler Mountain, Oregon, is made of, complete with feuding families descended from outlaws and lawmen. A century later, their grudges still hold—but for a new generation, when opposites attract, it might be time to surrender . . .

From killers to courtesans, the Hancock family has what might be called an eclectic history. But they’ve managed to leverage it into something respectable, creating the popular Hancock Wild West Show. The event features reenactments and trick riding—the latter performed by clever, charismatic Jessie Jane Hancock.

Jessie is usually unflappable, but lately something’s needling her—and it’s not just her annoying attraction to exasperatingly sexy Flynn Wilder, whose great, great, great, great, great grandfather was betrayed by Jessie’s just-as-many-times-great grandfather. It’s the upcoming mayoral election. Specifically, the unopposed candidate: Danielle LeFevre, mean girl, all-around awful person, and Flynn’s not-so-beloved half-sister. Jessie wants to keep Danielle from winning . . . and the only person who bothers Flynn more than she does is Danielle.

“I want you to be my first man.” Jessie Jane is hot enough to make him hallucinate, but her request is very real. Jessie wants to run for mayor, and she wants him by her side as her fake boyfriend. A Hancock is dating a Wilder. An outsider against the status quo. A drama their town will devour. Flynn always knew Jessie was a wild card, but bringing down his corrupt stepfamily is a temptation he can’t resist. Just like the vexing spark between him and Jessie. And once that fire catches, the real showdown begins . . .
