Summer Jones only wants three things in life:

1. Keep her house plants alive.
2. Open a beautiful bed-and-breakfast.
3. Never see or speak to Beckett Valentine again.
None of those things are currently possible.
Summer Jones and Beckett Valentine are rivals and have never wanted the same things in life except for the newly for sale Horseshoe Creek Ranch. Summer thought her dreams of building a B&B would finally come true until her number one enemy decides he wants the land, too. Beckett plays dirty and refuses to give her what she wants—a common theme in their relationship—and the dream of acquiring the property turns into a living nightmare.
They might’ve been at each other’s throats since they were teens, but the stakes have never been so high. And right now, she’s more determined than ever to take down her best friend’s older brother—cowboy boots and all.

**Bless Your Heart is a small town, enemies to lovers, best friend’s older brother, contemporary southern romance with a guaranteed happily ever after. Each book in the Valentine Texas series is a stand-alone. Warning: this book contains tons of Southern sass, sarcasm, and lots of spice! Fade to black is not included.**

Life didn’t turn out how Addelyn Black thought it would. Being a single mom to a five-year-old is not something girls dream about. She wouldn’t change it for the world. But one thing was missing, and she didn’t expect to find it in the shape of Jesse Summers.


Jesse Summers has everything he ever wanted. At thirty-five he owns his own Ranch, a loving family and lives in the most beautiful place in the world. There’s only one thing missing. It took him a long time to finally see what was staring him right in the face.

They say, the best things that happen are unplanned. And to always expect the unexpected. Could this be true for Addelyn and Jesse? Or is it all just Decorah magic?

ABOUT THE AUTHORS


ANA BALEN 



Ana Balen was born in Zagreb, Croatia, where she still lives with her husband, their son (read boss!) and the son’s pet rabbit named Shhh! (or some other gibberish that’s the favorite of their son for the day.)

She spends her days driving her husband up the wall (when he can’t get her ass up from the bed in the mornings), reading and daydreaming, or following orders from a three-year-old. In the hectic life she leads (and loves every second of it), she never thought about writing. But, then one day a name popped in her head, then, the snippets of things, and she sat down and started typing. Next thing, she wrote a book. And now, she’s about to release her seventh!





ALLORA RYAN 




Hi, I’m Allora, and if you haven’t noticed already, I am a romance author! I am new to the book world and Unexpected is my first book and it’s co-written with author Ana Balen. I come from the north side of Dublin’s Inner city, I have children and I enjoy long walks on the beach where I get a lot of ideas for my stories. Thanks for visiting!

Author: Cassie-Ann L. Miller
Genre: Small Town Brother’s Best Friend Romance 






Cover




Blurb


I only showed up to crash my best friend’s sister’s wedding. So how did I become the groom?! Oops!

When I charged up those courthouse steps to stop Sera’s wedding, I didn’t exactly have a plan.

But there’s no way I was letting my best friend’s little sister marry some no-good tool who doesn’t deserve her.

Let’s just say things got out of control. Fast.

Now, the wedding is off. And Sera is crushed. And I’m just trying to be a good friend.

“Come stay at my place. Until you’re back on your feet.”

“Have some tequila. It’ll ease the pain.”

“And what’s a few much-needed orgasms between friends?”

Well, maybe I crossed the line with that last one.
Oh, but it gets worse…

Because we just woke up naked and hungover. And Sera’s wearing a big, ugly diamond ring.

On second thought, “oops!” might be an understatement.

I mean–I’m Jason Bellino. Confirmed bachelor. Pro football’s ultimate playboy…I don’t do relationships.

And she’s my complete opposite. A good girl. A rule-follower. The Sweetheart of Sin Valley…She doesn’t do no-strings-attached flings.

Talk about ‘opposites attract’.

Now, we’ve got this whole accidental marriage situation going on. Hot damn. I’m completely in over my head.

But married life isn’t half-bad, I guess. I could get used to the wall-shaking orgasms, the laughing and bantering together over our breakfast cereal, her cheering me on at my football games.

I should be trying to get rid of her. But more and more, I just want her to stay.

So how do I convince my oopsie-wife to play house with me…forever?

Playing House is a steamy, laugh-out-loud, best friend’s sister, accidental marriage small town romance. It is set in small town Iowa and is book one in the Playboys of Sin Valley series.

Bossy Biker by Lark Avery review!

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Source: Kindle Unlimited

Synopsis

Famous last words: I don’t need a man!

Little did I know I’d be eating those words as fast as the customers at my diner ate my pie!

I tried my best to tell the bossy biker who swung into my one-stoplight town that the kind of pie he wanted wasn’t on my menu. But he made me an offer I couldn’t refuse—three days, no strings, and all the pie he could eat.

I might have sworn off men, but it’s hard to say no to the beast of a man with the ability to make my panties disappear with a single glance. But the one thing I won’t be serving up is my heart. Been there, done that, have the hideous wedding dress to prove it.

Come Monday, the rough and wild biker will ride out of town and out of my life forever. Unless he can convince me that making room for him in my heart and my small town life is easy as apple pie.

Author’s Note: If you don’t like stories about bikers and jilted brides packed with pie references, go eat a salad. If you do, prepare to have your heart melted and your kindle burst into flames. Proceed at your own risk.

My Thoughts 💭

This was a hot, quick and fun read! Raider’s bike breaks down outside of a small town and he thinks it’s the worst luck ever until he lands his eyes on Blossom and tastes her pie. Raider decided small towns aren’t so bad and Blossom changes her mind about swearing off men. I just loved everything about this book and I definitely recommend it!
