She decides her only recourse is to give up on men forever.
The problem is, her friend/acquaintance/one-time bodyguard, member of the Nightingale Investigations & Security team, Gabriel Stark, has targeted her as His One.
Gabe’s been through it at the hands of women too, so he knows exactly what he wants.
And he wants Willow.

Up against an onslaught from a man who rinses his own whiskers out of the sink, Willow might not stand a chance.

If you had told me a year ago that I’d be utterly losing my mind over horde kings, dragon riders, or horned blood-drinking aliens, I would have suggested your crystal ball needed polishing. But then I read my first Zoey Draven novel, and everything changed. We return to the world of the Hordes of the Elthika with the story of a gifted pyroki master apprentice, Amaia, who accepts to be sent to the far nation of Karak to work at a dragon hatchery, all the while spying for the throne of Dothik. But her new home is nothing like she expected it to be, its people welcoming and kind, and its king, Alaryk, proves to be the most formidable male she’s ever met. Torn between her loyalty to her family and her growing attachment to Alaryk and his people, Amaia must decide whether to follow her heart or obey the wishes of a capricious ruler and risk losing a love like no other. If you love steam, angst, grovelling, and your hero . . . ahem . . . pierced in more places than one, this book hits all the spots, and more.
Unlike any other book I’ve ever read, this tender love story caught me by surprise and held on tight. It follows Morgan and Sawyer, two complete strangers with very little in common except that they’re both being haunted by their exes. They meet at a support group for haunted humans and soon realise they can help each other. But while Morgan cannot wait to part ways with the misbehaving spectre of her one-night stand, Sawyer is still mourning and clinging to the ghost of his fiancée in the house they’d planned to redesign together. As they both begin to develop feelings for each other, the story morphs into a poignant alchemy of grief and love, an exploration of all the ways love can flourish after loss, even when the heart continues to ache for all it’s lost. A slow-burn romance that is equal parts witty, romantic, sexy, and hauntingly moving.
I’ve never come across a Sarah MacLean novel that I didn’t absolutely devour, but this book—this fascinating, almost theatrically dramatic gem of a story—stole my heart. A wealthy New England family is shaken by the sudden loss of its larger-than-life patriarch, but no one more so than its prodigal daughter—Alice Storm. After five years of being cast out from the family and forging her own path in life, Alice returns to her family’s private island to pay her final respects to her father. But shortly after arriving there, she realises that her eccentric, controlling father is not done manipulating Alice and her siblings even from beyond the grave, forcing them all to spend one week together on the island in order to receive the inheritance. By exploring the real, messy, and deeply broken dynamics of a family brought together by guilt and grief, but ultimately bound to one another by love, MacLean delivers a powerful story riddled with drama, secrets, and family mayhem, as well as a generous dash of heartwarming romance. A superb read.
Kristen Ashley continues to infuse her stories with such depth of emotion that I can see myself re-reading her novels until I’m old and gray. The latest River Rain instalment is a richly layered tale of second chances in life, of redemption, of forgiveness, of knowing our self-worth and believing in the best version of ourselves, no matter how hard our demons fight to break us down. A former celebrity mean girl, Blake Sharp is trying hard to move on from her past and from under the thumb of her controlling mother, but she never expected to find an ally in her childhood frenemy and occasional bully, retired Scottish rugby player and playboy, Alasdair Wallace. When fate suddenly throws them together, an unexpected connection emerges between them, followed by immediate attraction and chemistry, but learning to trust each other with their hearts and not letting their pasts stand in the way is a battle they will both have to fight for what they want the most. A joy to read!
