Title: Heads on Fire
Author: Elora Nicole Ramirez
Genre: Contemporary Romance
About Heads on Fire:
Nova Scofield isn’t looking for anything serious. She’s not looking for anything at all, actually. Still recovering after walking away from her narcissistic fiancΓ© weeks before their wedding, she is happily focused on her floral shop, Wild Flora. But then Jax Stratford walks into the shop and Nova suddenly remembers what it’s like to feel the gravitational pull of chemistry. For one night, she allows herself the freedom of letting her desire lead her. The only problem is Jax isn’t a one night stand — he’s a potential business partner. Despite her best judgment, she agrees to a date and finds herself falling head over heels. But Nova’s ex refuses to let go — he keeps showing up and threatening to take over the flower shop she built with her best friend — making it impossible for Nova to move on from their relationship and the control he had over her. To make matters worse, history surfaces and her ex shares something with her, making it seem Jax has kept the truth from her this entire time. Will she give into the heat she feels with Jax? Or will everything she’s worked for turn to ash?
Exclusive Excerpt:
“Hey, welcome to Wild Flora — let me know if you need anything.” I put my hand up to shield the glare and see a man standing in front of me. The large shadow has turned into solid muscle and I lose my train of thought for a moment. I inhale quickly. He is quite literally the most beautiful human I’ve ever seen. His eyes are an emerald green and they’re staring at me. He’s staring at me.
Oh shit. I try and gather words but the most I can do is lick my lips as he pushes dark waves of hair out of his eyes and looks at me and says, “hi.” Jesus Christ. He grins then, a dimple appearing in his left cheek. I scratch at my throat, unable to process what’s happening internally: it feels like lightning. What was that song about lightning in a bottle? It feels like that pinging around my insides. I am mortified but can’t stop staring so I don’t know what to do except get him out of the store and never see him again. “Oh. Um. Hi. Can I get you something? Or did you already order?” He walks up to the counter and the lightning turns into fireworks in my veins. I try and grab a few breaths but they come out as whisps. I’m definitely going to need a drag from my inhaler after this. He raises an eyebrow and I look away. Sweet baby Jesus this man is a walking pregnancy threat. Nope. No. Immediately no. I take my index finger and push the nail into the fleshy side of my thumb, bringing me back to reality. We’re not doing this, Nova. He opens his mouth to answer, but we’re interrupted. “Hey, I’m going to grab some coff—” Gabi walks out from the back and takes one look at my face and freezes. She wrinkles her brow, trying to decipher what’s happening, when the man turns around and smiles at her. Her eyes widen and she returns the smile, the change in expression happening so quickly he doesn’t even notice. When he turns back to me she mouths WOW before motioning drinking and pointing to the door. “I’m grabbing coffee. Do you want anything?” I glance again at our visitor and hold up my hand. “Just a minute. Sorry.” He shrugs and leans against the counter, crossing his arms. I see his biceps flex under his grey hoodie and I dart my eyes away again, completely flustered. My toes curl in my Doc Martens and Gabi’s lips curl just a hair as she sees me flustered over this customer. It’s been a while since I’ve had a visceral reaction to someone. I straighten my shoulders, remembering again what happened the last time I felt this way — five years of narcissistic abuse and all I got out of it are the therapy appointments I still have booked in my Calendar. Just remembering this is enough to have me relaxing a little. But wait. Did I feel this with Corey? I don’t know if I did. “Um, yeah. My usual,” I call to Gabi and she nods in understanding as she wraps a scarf around her neck. “Triple shot iced mocha with coconut milk coming right up — be back soon.” The bell signals her exit and I drum my fingernails on the counter. “Sorry about that — were you picking something up or just looking around?” He looks back at me and smiles. “I ordered something yesterday.” He motions to the door Gabi just walked through. “Pretty sure I spoke with her about what I wanted. It’s an order for Jax?” I swallow, keeping my face even. Of course. Despite my resolve to not entertain the attraction, my heart sinks. Of course he’s picking up the apology bouquet. He has fuck boi written all over his pristine white sneakers. I refuse to react but I can feel the way my body immediately cools toward him and I know he has to see the shift as well. I clear my throat and try and summon some southern niceties back into my tone. “Jax you said?” I turn and open the cooler, pulling the vase out and placing it in between us, reading the order card Gabi wrote yesterday. “A blended rose bouquet — not just roses, can be a bit different and not necessarily romantic…” I pause for a moment with the last phrase, confusion crossing my face. I blink it away and push the vase forward. “Colors requested were pale pink and red? My notes say you already paid so you’re good to go.” “Wow. This is perfect,” he says, admiring the arrangement. “She nailed it.” He looks back at me and smiles again, this time the corner of his eyes wrinkling in amusement. “Will you tell her thank you when she gets back?” My lips curl under for a fraction of a second and I shrug. “Sure.” He turns to leave then, balancing the vase in his arm as he pushes the door open with his shoulder and looks at me again with a wave. “Have a good one.” I watch as his retreating figure pulls his keys out of his pocket and opens the passenger door of an Audi. I drop my head in my hands and groan. I am so….so very single.
About the Author:
Elora Ramirez has always been a word girl. It started when she was four, when she taught herself how to read and write as a way to entertain herself while her grandmother kicked and danced in aerobics class. She cut her teeth on books from Dr. Seuss and writing anywhere she could find the space — including her Fischer Price kitchenette, the pages of picture books, and Highlights Magazines. She's matured a bit since then, now choosing to write in the margins of her books and on the mirrors of her bathroom ideas and thoughts surrounding story and what makes us human. By day she leads a team at a tech company, waking up before the sun rises to get in her love for words before stepping into her role of helping others see the plot line of their own story under development. Intuition and beauty get her through the day, as well as her chef-husband and their little lion son. Curious Obsession is her fourth novel.Connect with the Author:

A selfish brat who'd run away from home and who’d found refuge in an MC.

Only, Isabelle is nothing like the picture my initial research painted. Yes, she's a brat. Yes, she's insecure. And yes, she's a Disciple…sort of.
But she's so much more than that. So broken, yet so hopeful.
So lost, yet so eager to be found.
I found her.
But that means her father has too. Taking her home was supposed to repay a favor owed.
I just didn't realize that home was the most dangerous place in the world for her...

Hunk named Miles

The premise of the book was a good one. I really enjoyed the small town good friends and neighbor feelings. Ivy has a story, which is awful, that leads her to having PTSD. Her story, I wont speak of, but she gets a note that just makes her day. She continues this "note" writing. Someone who has had a bad day, opens their desk draw and sees a warm caring note to inspire. That is the theme.
You can not help but fall in love with Miles. He has been through a lot with his father. In the beginning he is very sick and then dies. So Miles is the character who needs an epiphany. Why work so hard in the big city when small town America is calling your name?
Overall the author has a style that I really liked. The character's both main and supporting bring it all together to leave you with a warm and fuzzy feeling. Totally recommend this one!
Drea lives on the beautiful island of O‘ahu, Hawai‘i with her Sailor and 5 kids. She drinks a lot of coffee, reads a lot of books, and has a lot of tattoos. As a neurodivergent author, her dream characters and scenarios involve complex people, emotional wounds, normalizing nurturing those things that make us unique, and the magic of finding the person who sees all of you and still wants more.

Title: X My Heart
Author: L.A. Wayward
Genre: Sports/Inspirational Romance
Release Date: June 24, 2022
BLURB
X My Heart
Love isn’t clean. It’s messy, and sometimes it’s as dirty as BMX.
Hunter, BMX’s number-one bad boy, has everything he needs: money, fame, gold medals, and girls between his sheets to fill the constant ache in his chest. He doesn’t need anyone to mend the hole in his heart, and certainly not someone like Sky Alexander.
When Sky, his trainer’s long-lost daughter, comes into his life, she screws up his plans to never let a girl distract him on his way to the number one spot.
Sky doesn’t need a tattooed BMX wild boy to mess up her plans. There is only one race she still needs to ride, and it doesn’t involve falling for the BMX champion with enough problems and vices to fill a whole arena.
X My Heart is a story about love, loss and taking on every hill life has to offer. True love doesn’t have to make sense for it to be real or for it to change the path you are on.
It doesn’t matter how many wrong turns you make, or how many times you crash. The only thing you have to do is chase the ride till the end.

Author: G.K. Brady
Genre: Contemporary Sports Romance
Release Date: August 20, 2019
BLURB
His career is in the penalty box. Her marriage is on the rocks. Can love score the winning goal?
Beckett Miller’s hedonistic lifestyle just got iced. After a high-profile fall from grace over a drug scandal, the aging pro hockey superstar finds himself without a team, dropped from endorsements, and completely broke. Desperate to turn his home into cash, the league’s bad boy is forced to work with a real estate agent with a megawatt smile… and who he’d just made a spectacular fool of himself with.
Paige Anderson’s sales success hasn’t translated to relationships. With her husband becoming more distant, Paige is pulling out all the stops to keep her marriage together, and the last thing she desires is to have a scandal-plagued playboy athlete as a client. But the high commission she’ll get from the sale seems worth it… especially when he unexpectedly becomes a shoulder to cry on.
Surprised when he develops feelings for the beautiful realtor, Beckett decides it’s time to clean up his act and plan for the future. And though Paige can’t stop thinking about the troubled all-star, she worries he’ll betray her like every other man in her life.
Can this damaged duo put aside their fears and take a slapshot at love?
Taming Beckett is the tantalizing first book in The Playmakers Series of sports romances. If you like swoon-worthy characters, slow-burn chemistry, and enemies-to-lovers attractions, then you’ll adore G.K. Brady’s steamy read.
