Fall Romances #newrelease #newromance #BuckeyeFalls

8/19/2024

Fall is coming. It may not seem like it in my neck of the woods. It was 85 today, but Fall is coming. And with Fall, we will get pumpkin spice and apple pie everywhere. Best of all, Libby Kay has a new romance- FOREVER TO FALL.

Do you remember your first love? How did that work out? It wasn't a big romance for me but a lasting friendship. Thankfully for the heroine in FOREVER TO FALL, her first love comes around and realizes just how much she means to him. 

Set in Buckeye Falls, FOREVER TO FALL is a sweet romance with spirited characters and charismatic storytelling. Readers will love the small town life and second chance at love for Beckett and Mallory. 

Available now in ebook and print, FOREVER TO FALL is the fifth book in the Buckeye Falls series. Each can be read as a stand alone but why not read them all??

Blurb:
Welcome to Buckeye Falls, where second chances mend broken hearts for these childhood sweethearts. Wedding bells are ringing, but the sister of the groom is conflicted.
​

Fifteen years ago, Mallory Lawson “married” her childhood sweetheart, Beckett, in a pretend wedding on his family’s apple farm. She treasures not only the memories, but the ring he put on her finger. The trouble now, her brother, Evan, wants to put that family heirloom on his fiancée’s finger.  Mallory adores CeCe, but she struggles to get past her girlhood fantasies of Beckett swooping back into her life with a certain ruby ring…

Beckett Fox is at a crossroads. After losing his grandfather, he’s listless and fearful of coming back to the family farm. There are too many memories, and most of them are tied to the love of his life, Mallory. He doesn’t even know if she remembers that fateful day when they were kids, playing make-believe under the apple trees, but he does. Now he’s back to help his buddy get married, and he hopes to find peace on the family farm, with Mallory by his side…

When the wedding planning kicks into high gear, Beckett and Mallory are thrust together as maid of honor and best man. The more time they spend together, the harder it is to ignore the sparks between them. Beckett fears Evan won’t support him dating Mallory, so the pair date in secret. But true love won’t stay hidden forever… 

Best-selling author Libby Kay’s Buckeye Falls Series reminds readers of small-town life where everyone knows each other. Fans of Sharon Sala’s Blessings, Georgia series and Susan Mallery’s Fool’s Gold series will fall in love with Buckeye Falls and the childhood sweethearts who are tired of hiding their feelings. Come for the wedding and stay for the whole series. 
 
EXCERPT
Rubbing the back of his neck, Beckett felt his muscles relax at her presence. Mallory had this amazing ability to calm him down while simultaneously causing him to burn with lust.

For a moment, neither of them spoke. The sound of cicadas in the night air surrounded them, their nightly song echoing through Buckeye Falls. Mallory finally cleared her throat and gestured with the box toward the door. “Can I come in?”

“Erm, yeah.” Beckett stepped back and held the door open for her, catching a whiff of her perfume as she slunk inside. Mallory always smelled like summertime: sweet and tangy like a handful of blackberries.

Mallory took a few paces inside and looked around. Beckett said a silent prayer of thanks that he had the forethought to start unpacking. It was a mess, but at least it looked like his mess. “Cute.” She said the word with a small smile, plopping the box on top of the coffee table.

She turned like she was going to leave, her presence not required beyond the delivery. Instinctively, Beckett blocked the way, letting the door close behind him on a soft click. “Where are you going?” he asked, his pulse kicking up at the idea that he wouldn’t see her for more than another moment.

Shrugging, Mallory pointed to the door. “Home?”

Before he could think better of it, Beckett blurted out the first thing that came to mind. “Stay. Have dinner with me.”

Mallory didn’t respond at first, but he didn’t miss the flush that crept up her neck. “You want to have dinner with me?”

“Yes?” he replied, although it was far from a question. Beckett wanted Mallory to stay as long as she liked—for dinner or the rest of her life. He wasn’t picky.

The Broken Road #newrelease #newromance

8/7/2024

Rascal Flatts has a wonderful story about a Broken Road and how it brought a couple together. Grea Warner's latest romance is titled- THE BROKEN ROAD and it gave me all the feels that the song does. 

Two flawed characters who are independent in their own right. Successful but with some heartbreaks. They aren't looking for an instant love but something more--a forever love. 

THE BROKEN ROAD releases today in ebook and print. It is a stand alone but does have connections to Grea Warner's Heads and Tails Duet. 

Blurb:
Teagan Thompson always knew the road she was traveling on in life. She was a farm girl, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. Teagan loved the animals, hard work, feeling of accomplishment, and being a part of her family’s heritage. It fit her. Strong and independent, if there was a problem, Teagan found a way to solve it … even if she had to do it all by herself.
 
When she visits her brother in California, Teagan meets winery-manager Griffin Pearce and learns that like objects, people can be broken, too. But no matter her determination, Griffin might be something Teagan can’t fix, especially after he discovers the secret she’s been hiding. A part of her personal journey that can't be altered, it's also a sad reminder of Griffin's past and one of the reasons he cannot heal emotionally.
 
Do unexpected circumstances give Teagan a reason to stay and try to put the broken pieces together? Or does she follow the road back home to her beloved farm as was always the plan?
 
From best-selling & award-winning author Grea Warner, THE BROKEN ROAD is a realistic story about inner strength, going for what you want in life, and the different bonds that create a family.
 

EXCERPT 
If it had been silent before, after the door shut behind her, it seemed like we were in the deepest, most sacred part of a tomb that hadn’t been open in hundreds of years. I was trying to see if I could even hear my breath … maybe I wasn’t even breathing. The entire transaction between mother and son was intense and enlightening and surprising and overwhelming and … hopeful, even.

Another moment of silence ensued with neither of us speaking or moving. I wanted to go and hug him like he had his mother. Even if he wouldn’t admit it, I knew he needed it, and we were ready, right?

The opposite happened, though. Griffin turned from me and started toward the same door his mother had gone through mere moments before. He was simply going to leave.

“Griffin?” I called out to his back, shocked by his action. When he kept his strut without any type of acknowledgment, I repeated his name much more adamantly. “Griffin!”

“What?” He turned to face me. It was only one word, but it sounded terse.

“What?”

I couldn’t believe that had been his question … his response. He had nothing to say to me? He didn’t want to acknowledge at all what had just happened? What? What?!

“What, Teagan?” he repeated with the same intensity. “Nothing else.” He turned, obviously alluding to the fact that nothing had changed between us.

That made me so upset—the type that was a mix of sadness and anger. “You can forgive her, but not me?” What?

He swiveled around once more on my continued quest for an answer. With a slow shake of his head and one of our stares that connected us so powerfully, he spoke softly but with punctuation. “Not sure I forgave her. I understand more. I simply don’t care enough to be mad at her.” And then he did it—he walked out the door.

My search for breath resumed. He had answered the part of my question about his mother but not the part about me. He--

Wait. Breathe. Think. Rewind.

He didn’t care enough about his mom to be mad at her, but he was still mad at me. Because … he cared about me.
