Title: Torch (Wildwood #3) Author:  Karen Erickson Publisher: Avon Impulse Release Date: August 16, 2016 Source: ARC from Publisher Buy the Book: Amazon / B&N / Indigo Tate Warren has never met a woman he couldn’t charm—until now. Wren Gallagher won’t give him the time of day and it’s making him crazy. But he won’t give up without a fight…because there’s one thing he knows for sure: Enemies make the best lovers. Most women swoon over Tate’s devilish grin and firefighter uniform. But Wren couldn’t be less impressed by his good looks and flirtatious banter—in fact, she seems to downright despise him. She thinks he’s a player, but his attraction to her is no game. Wren is unlike anyone he’s ever known and he isn’t about to let the feisty, gorgeous woman slip through his fingers. Wooing Wren would be so much easier if she didn’t hate him… Or does she? I've really enjoyed reading Karen Erickson's Wildwood series over the last few months and I was definitely excited to read abo...

Title: The Six Month Rule (The Kingston Ale House #2) Author: A.J. Pine Publisher: Entangled Select Release Date: July 18, 2016 Source: ARC from Author Buy the Book: Amazon / B&N / Indigo She created the game, but the rules are about to change. Taurus: Hold fast to your single-minded nature today--no matter how long her legs or how lush her red lips. Gemini:   You were a shining star last night, but reality can be a real--well, you get the picture. Just remember: Tall, dark, and British equals no corner office for you.

Because it doesn't matter what you want when what you need walks out the door. Holly's been busting her butt to make partner at Trousseau and there's no way she's going to let some stuck-up British arsehole get in her way--no matter how drop-dead gorgeous he is. But that doesn't mean she c...

Jude lost everything one spring day when he crashed his car into an apple tree on the side of the road. A man is dead, and there’s no way he can ever right that wrong. He’d steer clear of Colebury, Vermont forever if he could. But an ex-con in recovery for his drug addiction can’t find a job just anywhere. For Sophie Haines, coming face to face with the man who broke her heart is gut-wrenching. Suddenly, he’s everywhere she turns. It’s hard not to stare at how much he’s changed. The bad boy who used to love her didn’t have big biceps and sun-kissed hair. And he’d never volunteer in the church kitchen.

They don’t know I’ve been spending my days trying to figure out my post-military life. Including how to pick up guys. When I meet Luke on a hookup app, he makes it clear it’s for one-night only. That’s fine with me, because I’m down to see what this silver fox can do. But after I arrive at his doorstep, it doesn’t take long to realize we have serious chemistry, and we end up meeting again. He’s got more walls around his heart than a military base, but I think he’s as addicted to me as I am to him. He can’t resist me for long. I mean, who can? Except Luke’s rules exist for a reason, and when I test his limits, things get complicated. Maybe too complicated. It’s officia...
