(The Quiet Horsemen Book 2) 

by Maggie Rawdon 


LIVE! Don’t miss this dark western, small town romance! 



𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐛

Grant Stockton is the devil incarnate. The cowboy turned casino-owning crime boss has been the bane of my existence for as long as I can remember—first as my older brother’s best friend, then as my guardian when my brother died at his side, and now as the rival bar owner and landlord running me into the red.

He might be the head of The Quiet Horsemen, the man everyone else in this town fears, but I’m not about to cede a single inch of ground to him.

If I have to lie, cheat, and steal to keep him from finding out my bar’s underwater—well, that’s exactly what I’ll do.

At least until he breaks into my apartment and discovers my secret. One that gives him all the leverage he needs to control my fate.

My only reprieve is that The Horsemen are in the middle of a war, one that’s been spilling blood for the better part of a decade, and his enemies are closing in on our small mountain town.

Which is why I’m taken off guard by the demand he makes in exchange for keeping my secret.

Apparently there are benefits to being at the mercy of the devil…

So, in my desperation for more Maggie Rawdon words, I forgot a few teeny tiny little things. First is that this is a series, and each book is so completely intertwined that the story is still ongoing. And when I put the last book down, I had an issue with that. So naturally I wasn't hugely happy about it this time either. That said this book was written in such a way that despite having the worst memory I could more than follow the goings on here and remember most of the characters. 


I really feel like I need to wait for the series to be written and then just binge them all. But I know my fomo and need to read each book as it releases. Because each next book is set up so well by the current one I can't wait to see what's going to happen next.


Grant and Dakota were so hot together. I couldn't get enough of Grant which surprised me. Because he started off so serious and authoritarian, I wasn't sure how he was going to switch. And I don't hate bdsm but I'm not really loving it at the moment, so I was scared it was going to steer heavily in that direction. 


Then we got jealous and possessive Grant, and I loved it. But we also got sweet and sensitive, considerate Grant and I was obsessed. Dakota was every twenty something woman trying to figure out life and herself. And I enjoyed watching her work out how to do what she needed to do while also submitting to what Grant needed without losing herself to him.


The chemistry was hot. The romance was sweet and had depth. And the story was so involved and intriguing. I hated having to put it down to adult and I can't wait for the next one. Although I'm just as excited for more Charlotte and her men. So whatever is next as long as it's soon please.

I feel like I really screwed myself over reading this book right now. I am so burnt out and stressed out and I was hoping this would distract me and help me hide from reality for a while. Unfortunately, my brain just didn't allow that to happen so I know I missed a load of giggles I would normally get from the delightful Sara Ney.

 

Now in saying that I did enjoy the book. The characters were so unique and quirky, and the premise was super cute. I love it when the super fan gets the star and does it without being weird and fawning all over their celebrity. Austin was such an awesome little heckler, and I really enjoyed the flow of their relationship. 

 

But Gio was such an awesome boyfriend. And with him being all cranky in the beginning I really wasn't expecting that. And throw in the fact that he went out of his way to meet her based on his sisters shove I was loving it. I did guess the plot twist but that didn't take anything away from the story.

 

I am obsessed by the epilogue, and I can't wait to get my hands on the next book. When I saw that it was written by Nova I thought we were going to get her commentary on Gio and Nova. Especially on how over the top crazy Gio was. What we got however feels like one massive tease for the next book. And knowing it's Nova's book I'm looking forward to seeing more Gio and Austin.

Captivating by Bella Matthews is now live!



 


FromUSA Todayand #1 Amazon Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes anEnemies to Lovers, Fake Dating, Sports Romance.

Killian St. James was the boy I loved. Now he’s the man I love to hate. 

To the world, I’m America’s sweetheart. A brand built on fairy tales and love songs that sell millions. But the truth? I’m not sure I believe in happily ever afters... At least not for me. 

Burned-out and desperate for a break, I return to my hometown, craving quiet and a tiny taste of freedom. But instead of peace, I find a stalker in the shadows, paparazzi on my heels, and a meddling family with their own ideas about my life. 

Everyone insists I need protection, and having my new bodyguard pose as my fake boyfriend makes total sense... Not that they asked me. If that’s not enough, did I mention that Killian is all too happy to volunteer for the job? 

This MMA champion is brooding, relentless, and inconveniently perfect at keeping me safe. He’s also unimaginably gorgeous, with a quiet confidence that’s even sexier than the ink tattooed on his golden skin. 

But as lines blur and sparks fly, I’m left wondering if the boy I once loved could be the man I can trust with my life... and my heart.

I always make the mistake of picking these books up to read a few chapters before bed because they always make me happy. Cue midnight and me forcing myself to put the book down so I can adult in the morning. Only to spend the next day tired and trying to sneak off to keep reading. 

 

The thing is I absolutely love the whole huge, interconnected thing but I'm now at the point I can hardly keep who's who straight. And I don't even care. Then the parents pop up or a cousin and I can't believe how much I love everything about this series and the ones preceding it.

 

Killian and Lilah have such a secret history and when it was all revealed I felt terrible for them. But I am so glad they sorted out their past and got on with living their beautiful happily ever after. And despite the fact I spent ¾ of the book waiting for the drama to happen and the bad guy to be revealed I could almost have lived without it.

 

Everything about them together was so hot and so sweet. I am dying to see who's up next and see the next chapters for so many characters we have already met and fallen in love with along the way.

Title: What About Now?
Series: Everlasting Ink #4
Author: Kaylee Ryan
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Small Town/Age Gap/Tattoo Artist
Found Family/Drunken Vegas Wedding
Release Date: February 11, 2025




BLURB

NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new standalone series surrounding five best friends who co-own a tattoo studio. "What About Now?" is an age gap, found family, drunken Vegas wedding, small town romance.

Brogan

I didn’t plan on hooking up with my new brother-in-law’s best friend… or marrying him.

Life hasn’t been easy, and it’s left me a little bruised, and a lot cautious. So, when I wake up in Vegas married to Maddox, I’m convinced it’s a mistake. A drunken accident that we should undo before anyone finds out.

But he doesn’t see it that way. He asks for six months. Six months to show me we could be something real. And I don’t know why I say yes, except maybe a part of me wants to believe him.

I’m not sure I deserve someone like him. But with every look, every touch, and every little gesture, Maddox is breaking down my walls.

That’s why the next time he asks "what about now?" I know I'm going to say yes.

Maddox

I always thought Brogan was off-limits. Our paths didn’t just cross, they tangled.

If things didn’t work out between us, it would hurt a lot of people. So I stayed in my lane, convincing myself it was for the best.

Until Vegas.

One too many drinks, a blurred wedding chapel, and a couple of shiny rings later, Brogan wakes up next to me… as my wife.

She’s ready to call it a mistake and move on, but I see it for what it is: fate handing me the chance I’ve been too scared to take.

So I make her a deal. Six months. I’ll prove we belong together, and if she still doesn’t believe it, we’ll walk away. No hard feelings.

But I’m not going down without a fight. Flowers, her favorite coffee—I’ll give her everything she never knew she wanted, including me.

And one of these times when I ask if she believes it yet that were meant to be, I just might get the answer I’m hoping for.

Because I’ve waited long enough to make her mine, and this time, I’m not letting her go.

The Kiss Lottery by Ilsa Madden-Mills is now live!


 

From bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills comes a steamy story about first love and second chances where a city girl returns home for a Valentine's Day tradition...and the boy who broke her heart.

Roses are red, violets are blue--someone in Rose has feelings for you...

Yeah, bad ones. Everly Davis didn't leave her tight-knit hometown on the best terms. It's been ten years, but you don't forget heartbreak like that. Then again, the anonymous invite to the annual Kiss Lottery in Rose, Tennessee, gives Everly content for her podcast. And she has a bone to pick with that old heartbreak anyway.

Beckett Whitfield has never left Rose--and he's never forgotten Everly. He even named the villain in his latest bestseller after her. Turns out she's not happy about that. Nothing about their reunion is particularly happy, and after the way they left things, what did he expect?

When the Kiss Lottery pairs them together, Everly and Beckett will have to confront old feelings that never went away and the secrets they never shared. But finally telling each other everything might be exactly what they've needed all along.

I always pick these books up because I know I love this series and I can't get enough of the Everlasting Ink family. But I always forget that they are basically a big bowl of candy in book form. So, I spend half the book reacquainting myself with the world waiting for the drama to hit and the other half just sitting and smiling and loving all these guys.

 

Brogan and Maddox were so adorable. It took Maddox a bit of convincing to get Brogan to get over her past and insecurity and trust in the possibility of them. But man, that guy brings the shmooze. In the most wholesome, genuine, hot guy way. 

 

I love how deeply these guys love. And not just their ladies but also their families, both chosen and biological. And watching all these kids growing up and getting siblings and cousins and their uncles and aunties doting on them is just beautiful. I can't wait for the next book. I have my fingers crossed for a whoops baby but honestly, I don't care as long as it's in my hands sooner than later. Kisses

This novella feels like a Valentine’s Day present to the author's fans. It's so cute and sweet and has just enough going on to keep you intrigued but not so much it's distracting from the romance.

 

Beckett and Everly have a complicated history and initially I was very anti Beckett and I couldn't understand why Everly could feel anything for him. Then I remembered that their history was not only history but based on one incident when they were 17. And God please don't anyone judge me on the stupid shit I did at 17.

 

And then the chefs kiss, cherry on top, Beckett pulled out all the sweetness and gave amazing grovel and I wanted to throw my pants at him. And everything that had been going on in the background was all tied together in one of those beautiful bows.

THIS WILD HEART

Karla Sorensen

Release Date: February 7


 

 

 

Blurb:

Who forgets marrying a football player? Me, apparently. Turns out countless shots and a bad breakup lead to questionable decision making. But waking up in Vegas with a ring on my finger beside a hot, naked man is hard to ignore. I married Parker Wilder. Thanks to our quickie nuptials, I’ll get my inheritance, and he’ll get his family and their well-intentioned meddling off his back.

 

Forgetting the wedding was the easy part. Being married to him is a whole different story. Parker is too … everything. Chiseled by the gods good-looking. A heartbreaking kind of broody. The kind of man you know will wreck you for all others. Good thing this is all pretend. And oh, how we pretend. We pretend ourselves right into me ripping the clothes off his body. 

 

It’s all fun and fake marriage until the day he gets a knock on the door with the surprise of a lifetime. Until the bomb goes off and we’re left to pick up the pieces. Until the pretending stops and we’re left with only one question: was any of it real?
