Blurb:
When danger comes to the small town of Woodvalley Pines, Hunter vows to become the protector of local bakery owner, Rachel. But when things heat up, can this firefighter handle the burn?

Rachel was finally happy. She had a place to call home, amazing friends, and a successful bakery. Then her past found her. Now Hunter Campbell was in her kitchen, acting like a caveman. After months of only grunting at her, one little incident, and he has the audacity to tell her she’s not allowed out without him. She couldn’t decide what terrified her more about her new bodyguard – the giant hulk scaring off her customers, or the fire in her belly that made her heart race every time he was near.  

Local firefighter Hunter was a man of few words. But if ever there was a time to talk, it was now. Rachel was in danger and there was no way he was going to let anything happen to his stubborn little fairy. It didn’t matter that he’d spent months keeping his distance. Or that she had the power to shatter his heart and then stab him to death with the shards. This was happening. She could bang as many baking pans as she liked. He wasn’t going anywhere. She was stuck with him.
 
Fighting fires was nothing new to Rachel or Hunter, but surrendering to the heat of the flames was a battle neither of them were prepared for.

Isobel Reed’s stories delight and bring laughter to romance through sizzling dialogue and fast-paced writing. Fans of Hot Stuff by Carly Phillips or Rescue Me by Susan May Warren will love this sassy tale of a caveman fireman and the baker who wins his heart.

EXCERPT
Ginny kissed Max’s cheek, tasting his tears on her lips. “Max, honey. This rarely happens. C’mon, Henry’s going to be the lead in the Christmas pageant. He’s a tough kid, just like his father.” She punctuated her statement with another kiss.

Max coughed and wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. “Oh yeah, I’m a real macho man.”

“Yeah, because you know they’re my type.” Ginny theatrically rolled her eyes.

“I shudder to think of what your type is,” Max said, gesturing at his current state. His eyes were red, he was covered in dirt and dog kibble, and he probably could stand another few hours of sleep.

Ginny leaned back, tapping her chin. “Well, let’s see. I like a man who can take care of me and my children. Someone who can cook, like really well. And it would be nice if he was a small business owner and took care of my father like his own. Oh, and if he’s also best friends with my best friends, that would be perfect.” Ginny huffed and pulled herself to her feet. “Looks like that’s a pretty tall order.”

Max snatched Ginny’s hand and pulled her onto his lap. “Okay, Mrs. Sanchez. Point made.” He kissed his wife, relishing in the fact they were still together after all these years. Life wasn’t always perfect, but it was from where he sat. “I need to get to the diner and start working on the menu for Christmas.”

Ginny kissed him one more time before pulling back. “And I’m needed in the office.”

“Love you, Gin.”
​
“Love you more.”

I have always loved talking in the dark. When I was little, I'd lay in bed and share stories about the day with my sisters. We shared a room for far too many years. This continued as an adult. There was something so intimate about sharing thoughts in the dark with a loved one. We'd snuggle under the covers and talk about our lives or dreams. 

Author Liz Ashlee draws upon that romance in her latest release CRASHING SIDEWAYS. In this case, Paisley isn't an active participate. She's been in a coma. Hunky JD Pritchard doesn't know her but finds himself drawn to her sleeping form where he shares all his thoughts and dreams. When she wakes up, he's no where to be found but a romance follows when they meet at a party. Now Paisley has found the man of her dreams (literally). But will Pritch allow her to get close, even if she can remember all he told her??

CRASHING SIDEWAYS is a wonderful tale of romance and angst. The author wraps her tale up with common issues of mental health and depression and shows it in a realistic way. Readers will connect with the characters of Pritch and Paisley who are opposites but certainly fully developed characters. 

Out now in Ebook and Print- CRASHING SIDEWAYS is the third book in the Love in Motion series but each can be read as a standalone... just who would want to??!!

Blurb:
He’s her dream man. She’s his confessional.

J.D. Pritchard had no intention of stepping foot in Paisley Kelley’s hospital room, let alone visiting her for the next three years. But once he starts, he can’t stop.

When Paisley wakes up after her three-year coma, she remembers fragments of Pritch’s one-sided conversations—but was he real or was that just her imagination running wild? It isn’t until a chance meeting that she realizes the man of her dreams is a living, breathing, tattooed and sexy playboy.

None of the men in Pritch’s family have lived passed their forties and he knows his time on Earth is limited. Except the more time he spends with Paisley, the more he realizes he can’t push her away. He may not be able to promise her a lifetime of love, but he can promise to give her everything else.

The final book in the Love in Motion trilogy has all the feels you have come to love in a Liz Ashlee book—flawed characters, gripping storyline, and tempestuous love. The happily ever after will have fans of Asher by Carian Cole and Repeat by Kylie Scott falling in love with CRASHING SIDEWAYS.
 
EXCERPT:
“Have we met before?” she finally asks, voice shaking. “Before the party, I mean?”

All I can do is stare into her hopeful eyes. When was the last time I was speechless? Never.

“Like I said—crazy. I was in the hospital for a long time and there’s something about you... your voice... “ As she trails off, I feel guilty. Something else I’m not accustomed to. But I hate the way she second-guesses herself and how her body seems to turn inward. I had no intention of telling her I ever visited her because what would that even accomplish? She’s got enough on her plate.

Except the look on her face tells me she needs to know.

How does she remember my voice? One of the nurses mentioned she might be capable of hearing things, but why would she have heard me?

I set my coffee down, decision made. “I visited you while you were in your coma about once a month, sometimes more.”

She stares at me as if she doesn’t believe me. Even though she was here to ask the question, I think she expected her memory to be wrong. I could have lied and she wouldn’t have doubted me.

She drops her arms to her sides and tilts her head, breathing unevenly. “Why? You didn’t know me.”

“I don’t have an answer for you. All I can say is one day I walked by your room and the next thing I knew I was sitting at your bedside. Then I came back and kept coming.” I swallow, unable to meet her eyes. “How much do you remember?”

“Not much. I hear you sometimes—fragments here and there. Sometimes I forget them just as quickly as I remember them.”

Thank you, higher powers, for small favors. I admitted things to her that I would never say to another person, not even Beau. I poured my darkest secrets and thoughts into her. I tried to keep those admissions to a minimum, knowing she was waging her own war. But there were days when I couldn’t help myself. I had to tell her. It felt like she was the only person who could carry what I was feeling, like in some way she would understand.

We were both fighting to continue living.

Have you ever been so focused on something that you pushed everything else aside? I am that way about books. :) I love to grab my favorite books and forget about cleaning and laundry. But I've never been focused on a career. In Penelope Holt's latest romance, her main character was just that focused until one man upset her plans. 

POLLY WANTS A LOVER is a modern love story about what happens when the bloom fades from a marriage. Polly's husband turns out to be a cheater and her career was sidelined while she cared for her husband. What's a girl to do?? 

POLLY WANTS A LOVER will pull at a reader's heartstrings as Polly faces her failings and finds a reason to find love again. POLLY WANTS A LOVER is up for preorder and releases on Jan. 7th. Don't miss your chance at this heartwarming tale!

Blurb:
Polly wants a lover to outmatch her cheating husband and heal her broken heart.
From childhood, Polly Sullivan was obsessed with one thing—becoming a professional dancer, right up until the day Christian Caldwell strode into her life. A sexual magnet and force of nature, he seduced her with his irresistible lovemaking, taking over her life and undermining her ambition, until he alone was her sole obsession.

Six years later, and now Christian’s wife, Polly’s career and confidence are in tatters. As she tails her husband’s latest mistress through a parking lot, fate puts her on a collision course with love when she runs her Subaru into a pick-up truck. Its owner, Marcus Bell, is heir to the legendary Turner-Bell horse farm, although he is currently estranged from his family and slumming as the manager of a dive bar.

As she discovers just how many affairs lie in her cheating husband’s past, a shaken Polly longs to recover her confidence and the career she abandoned to become Christian’s wife. She yearns to rekindle passion with a man she can trust. But as her lithe dancer’s body cries out for Marcus Bell’s touch, her injured heart screams no. Is Marcus the devoted lover she craves, or is Polly dancing from one heartbreak to another?
​
POLLY WANTS A LOVER is a wonderful romp through one woman’s awakening. Author Penelope Holt tells it like it is, as Polly sets out to find herself after marriage makes her small. This story is a great read for fans of Catherine Bybee’s “When it Falls Apart” or Kerry Fisher’s “The Woman I Was Before”.
