What happens when you¡¯re snowed in on a mountain ranch, with the one man you definitely should not be fantasizing about?
I¡¯ve always done what was expected of me. Layla Birch, the good girl.
Forced to grow up too fast. To take care of everything myself. I had a plan.
Only, I didn¡¯t count on him. Colton Wilder. The cowboy nearly twice my age.
He¡¯s my dream man. One who takes care of me, gives me a job, and makes my pulse thud harder every time he comes near.
My ex-boyfriend¡¯s father.
The nights are long and cold on top of this mountain. As the snow grows thicker and the tension builds between us, we¡¯re both inching closer to a line we shouldn¡¯t cross.
Each day, it grows harder to resist the man who looks at me with longing in his eyes.
It¡¯s tempting to forget about being the good girl for once.
No one would find out. Would they?

]]> 223167245 Karissa Kinword is back with the second raunchy romcom in her Amazon bestselling Dirty Delta series, following a sex-working cam couple as they attempt to plan a wedding while keeping their racy alter-egos a secret from two over-involved families.

On the surface, Mateo Duran and Natalia Russo are the perfect All-American pair. He¡¯s a handsome business owning Army veteran from the Bronx. She¡¯s a quirky bank teller at their local branch in Pompano Beach. They own a modest home, pay their taxes, wave at their neighbors, and the happiest day of their lives was their engagement last Christmas.

But after normal business hours, fans and paying subscribers log on to watch them as a prolific, top earning, sex-cam couple climbing the ladder of the adult film industry with every frisky fulfilled request.

Living their double life has always been manageable¡ªuntil now.

When Mateo¡¯s parents surprise them with an extended visit to aide in the wedding planning just as their risque secret career is hitting a peak, the airtight foundation and smooth sailing business model takes a massive, unplanned hit. Their usual nights of content filming are replaced with failed attempts at family bonding, mediating a rag tag wedding party of scorned siblings, and sneaking in an overdue romp between loads of laundry. They quickly realize the perfect bubble their relationship was built inside might not survive the merging of two meddling families.

Falling in love was the easy part of their story, choosing each other when the going gets tough is going to be much, much harder.]]> 472 Karissa Kinword Munsaka 0 to-read 4.42

It was always all work and no play for me. I always followed the rules¡ªwell, except for that one time I made out with a sexy stranger in a dark elevator.

I promised myself it would never happen again. It wasn¡¯t like I was going to see him again, right?

WRONG! I was in for the shock of a lifetime after discovering the new CEO was the man from the elevator, James Henry Wallace, a billionaire playboy who had it all. All the more for him to lose when I end up getting secretly pregnant!

Would he risk it all for the girl that works for him? After all, they say the forbidden fruit always tastes sweetest.

Get this book if you enjoy billionaires, enemies to lovers, with a pregnancy/ surprise baby, a happily ever after and no cliffhanger!

]]> 212808316 Brimming with magic and romance, a young fairy queen must form an unlikely alliance or risk an unspeakable danger destroying all she holds dear in this standalone YA novel from New York Times bestselling author Allison Saft.

It¡¯s been centuries since a warm-season fairy in Pixie Hollow has crossed into the Winter Woods, and while most fear the legends of monsters lurking in the frozen lands, Clarion, can¡¯t help being intrigued by Winter¡¯s stoic beauty. But under the watchful eyes of the current monarch and the court's seasonal ministers, Clarion has little time to dwell on daydreams while the days to her coronation dwindle away.

That is, until reports of a monster crossing from Winter into Spring make their way to the palace. Clarion sees defeating this threat as an opportunity to prove that she is worthy of her new role. But instead of finding a monster at the edge of Winter, she finds Milori, a young guardian of the Winter Woods. Together, they form an unlikely bond as they race to save their lands.

But as their alliance warms to something more, they will discover there is a reason a warm-season fairy and a winter fairy must not be together. And the cost could be just as deadly as the monsters that prowl the Winter Woods.

Discover the origin of the sweeping, star-crossed romance between the queen of Pixie Hollow and the lord of the Winter Woods.]]> 400 Allison Saft 1368098452 Munsaka 0 to-read 4.27 2025

She¡¯s the only woman who could demand his undivided attention without saying a single word to him. Kanan¡¯s intense need for her was so foreign to him, yet he welcomed her presence like a high he never wanted to come down from. He craved to graze his tongue along every inch of her thickness and indulge in some detailed face time with her little hidden treasure as well.

Ever since I was a young girl, I've lived under the scrutiny of Montardor's elite society and played by every one of my mother's rules until I became the quintessential daughter.

Then she sold me to the highest bidder.

Montardor's Punisher. My very own Hades...and my soon-to-be husband.

Zeno Gianni De la Croix is the devil in disguise.
He's older, cunning, and completely irresistible. He deceived me one fateful night and now I'm utterly captivated.

And I hate him.

Or at least, I want to.

The city of Montardor is Zeno's personal chess board and he will stop at nothing to make me his queen.


Zeno

My role has been clear from the start. Heir to an empire of sin and bloodshed, my destiny is tied with becoming the next Seigneur De la Croix.

But in order to assume the throne, I need a wife.

The woman who consumes my every thought is the one woman I should stay away from.

Darla Ivy Hill. Principal of St. Victoria. Daughter of my enemy. My very own Persephone...and my soon-to-be wife.

I hate that I want her.

My little angel likes to play wicked games but she has no idea what kind of monster lies within me.

I will possess her.

I will corrupt her.

And I will burn down the whole world for her.

WARNING: Corrupted By You is a dark mafia arranged marriage romance. It is the second book in the Sins of Montardor series but can be read as a standalone.

Walking into a crowded party and walking out with everyone eating out of the palm of her hand? Easy. Doing the same thing in the boardroom? Not so much.

To the world, I'm the town sweetheart

A good girl.

I have the perfect life.

But that's all a lie.

Nothing about my life is perfect, I'm not even sure it's mine. Not when I spend every minute pretending for my family.

I just want something for myself.

River Sinclair is everything I've been told I am not allowed, but how am I supposed to deny him when he's the only person who has ever made me feel free.

He sets my whole world on fire but we are on opposite sides of the track and one wrong move will destroy everything we know.

Is love truly worth the risk, or will I just end up with a broken heart and a tragic story to tell?

Sweet little Marly Winchester.

The towns sweetheart.

A good girl that never steps out of line, so imagine my surprise when she stumbles onto my track.

I should have stayed away, she is everything I am not and my enemy's little sister.

I shouldn't want her the way I do and yet I find myself crawling back to her night after night.

But stories like ours never have the happy ending, only there's no villains at fault for the way our story will go.

And there are no lengths I will not go to in the name of revenge.

Ellis
There¡¯s a lot I¡¯ve never told my best friend. The fact that I love him. That I miss him every day he¡¯s gone. That, sometimes, I ache for him with a ferocity that leaves me breathless.

Lucky Buchanan tore into my life as a boy, wild and daring, my opposite in every way. He drew me in, stole my heart without trying. He hears me, even though I rarely speak a word. But I always knew this place wouldn¡¯t be enough for my free-spirited friend. I knew he wasn¡¯t mine to keep.

So why, when I finally try to get over him, does he sweep back into town? Why is he upset? Why is there tension between us for the first time in years?

I never saw a future where Lucky could be mine. But now, unless I want to lose my friend, I might not have a choice but to tell the truth. My heart belongs to him. It has from the start.

If only I knew how to hold onto a creature that¡¯s meant to fly.

To Catch a Firefly is a standalone, childhood friends-to-lovers romance told in dual POV. There¡¯s epic levels of pining, a neurodivergent MC with selective mutism, two friends who always come back to one another, glass hearts and romantic declarations, and a HEA beneath the night sky.]]> 349 Emmy Sanders Munsaka 0 to-read 4.29 2024

Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy¡¯s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.

A Duty¡­

The entire kingdom¡¯s future rests on Poppy¡¯s shoulders, something she¡¯s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden.

A Kingdom¡­

Forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods, but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together begins to unravel.]]> 622 Jennifer L.

Traveling thousands of miles from home to enter college is the only way nineteen-year-old Avery Morgansten can escape what happened at the Halloween party five years ago¡ªan event that forever changed her life. All she needs to do is make it to her classes on time, make sure the bracelet on her left wrist stays in place, not draw any attention to herself, and maybe¡ªplease God¡ªmake a few friends, because surely that would be a nice change of pace. The one thing she didn¡¯t need and never planned on was capturing the attention of the one guy who could shatter the precarious future she¡¯s building for herself.

Some things are worth experiencing¡­

Cameron Hamilton is six feet and three inches of swoon-worthy hotness, complete with a pair of striking blue eyes and a remarkable ability to make her want things she believed were irrevocably stolen from her. She knows she needs to stay away from him, but Cam is freaking everywhere, with his charm, his witty banter, and that damn dimple that¡¯s just so¡­ so lickable. Getting involved with him is dangerous, but when ignoring the simmering tension that sparks whenever they are around each other becomes impossible, he brings out a side of her she never knew existed.

Some things should never be kept quiet¡­

But when Avery starts receiving threatening emails and phone calls forcing her to face a past she wants silenced, she¡¯s has no other choice but to acknowledge that someone is refusing to allow her to let go of that night when everything changed. When the devastating truth comes out, will she resurface this time with one less scar? And can Cam be there to help her or will he be dragged down with her?

Traduttore, traditore: An act of translation is always an act of betrayal.

1828. Robin Swift, orphaned by cholera in Canton, is brought to London by the mysterious Professor Lovell. There, he trains for years in Latin, Ancient Greek, and Chinese, all in preparation for the day he¡¯ll enroll in Oxford University¡¯s prestigious Royal Institute of Translation¡ªalso known as Babel. The tower and its students are the world's center for translation and, more importantly, magic. Silver-working¡ªthe art of manifesting the meaning lost in translation using enchanted silver bars¡ªhas made the British unparalleled in power, as the arcane craft serves the Empire's quest for colonization.

For Robin, Oxford is a utopia dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge. But knowledge obeys power, and as a Chinese boy raised in Britain, Robin realizes serving Babel means betraying his motherland. As his studies progress, Robin finds himself caught between Babel and the shadowy Hermes Society, an organization dedicated to stopping imperial expansion. When Britain pursues an unjust war with China over silver and opium, Robin must decide . . .

Can powerful institutions be changed from within, or does revolution always require violence?]]> 544 R.F. Kuang 0063021420 Munsaka 0 to-read 4.17 2022

I regret nothing.
¡­
Okay, maybe I regret some things.
In my defense, I was pretty sure I wouldn¡¯t get caught.
Also in my defense, I had no way of knowing that ¡°The Incident¡± would go viral.

But Toronto¡¯s most notorious billionaire isn¡¯t exactly known for his generous or understanding spirit, and he doesn¡¯t want to hear my excuses.
Not when my little public stunt cost him the biggest investment deal of his career.

What he does want is cold, hard revenge.
And that¡¯s how I find myself backed into a corner, forced to strike a deal with the snarly, green-eyed devil.
I have no choice but to be at his beck and call 24 hours a day, succumbing to his every bossy whim.
But as his demands¡ªand the blistering tension¡ªbecome increasingly unbearable, I can¡¯t help but start to bite back.

Adrien Cloutier isn¡¯t a man to be messed with, though.
And as the old saying goes, bad girls deserve to be punished.

This is a full-length enemies-to-lovers romance with loads of spicy banter and laugh-out-loud moments, featuring a dimpled bosshole devil in a suit and the smart-mouthed woman who brings him to his knees. (Literally.)

According to my mother¡ªit was in my name. According to my twin brother¡ªit was in my soul.

The truth could be found somewhere in between. I led with love in all of my endeavors. I found it softened the most irate of mankind¡ªregardless of the situation, love calmed, turned frowns into smiles, flattered, gave second chances, resulted in less anxiety, and, yes, swelled the hearts of women around the globe.

As co-owner of a popular nightclub in Houston, Texas, I built a reputation as one of the city's most successful and respected entrepreneurs. Nothing rocked my axis¡ªuntil I saw the most striking woman¡ªa beauty with sienna skin and a pouty mouth enter the double doors.

She was a mystery to my knowledge, but something about her made me follow her every move. Distress and fear were etched across her face as a man at her side clutched her tighter than I liked.

Intervening in situations that didn¡¯t invite me was never my style, but this night, I did, and despite the chaos that grew around me because of it, I couldn't ignore our connection, even though it meant putting myself in danger. Even though it meant putting love to the side for war.]]> 202 Stephanie Nicole Norris Munsaka 0 currently-reading 4.37

Just when Pretty thinks she has found the love and happiness she has been searching for her whole life, secrets are unveiled, and her world is turned upside down. She is taken back to the dark place in her life, a place she thought she had left behind forever. But will she emerge from this ordeal stronger or weaker?

Someone is stalking Audrey Young. And she has no idea why.

It¡¯s bad enough that she¡¯s back in Tilikum. But Audrey¡¯s good at making the best of things and her new job at the small-town newspaper is just a way to get back on her feet.

Complicating matters is her landlord and new neighbor, Josiah Haven.

She doesn¡¯t usually go for the big, surly lumberjack type. But there¡¯s something about that broody man. He intimidates her a little, but she kind of likes it.

She could totally handle the mess that is her life, except the strange feeling of being watched is just the beginning. Next thing Audrey knows, she¡¯s a target, and she doesn¡¯t know who¡¯s behind it, or why.

For Josiah Haven, none of that makes her his problem.

She¡¯s just the girl next door. Fine, the frustratingly hot girl next door. But Audrey is all sunshine and her goofy dog isn¡¯t any better. Josiah is too stoic. Too solitary. Too guarded. He doesn¡¯t need a woman in his life, especially one who threatens to crack his heart wide open.

But Josiah is a protector and he can¡¯t let Audrey¡¯s troubles go unanswered, even if he has to risk everything¡ªhis life and his heart¡ªto keep her safe.

Author¡¯s Note : a grumpy loner meets his match in a sunshiney dog lover who¡¯s a little down on her luck. And once he falls, he falls HARD. It¡¯s small-town romantic suspense with CK¡¯s signature humor, endearing characters, and heartwarming happily ever after.

Obsession Falls can be read as a stand-alone.]]> 432 Claire Kingsley Munsaka 0 to-read 4.07 2023

If life has taught me anything, it¡¯s this;

Love makes fools out of even the smartest people.

I vowed that I would never let it steal my focus.

I don¡¯t dream, I work.

I don¡¯t fall in love, I focus.

Landing my dream job in London far away from the stain of my father¡¯s sins

Is my chance for a new start.

When I meet Simon, a gorgeous young architect with a filthy mouth that sets my imagination and body on fire, I decide I deserve to have a little fun.

But one night with him is all I¡¯ll allow myself.

Because those smoldering eyes are full of secrets.

And as hot as we burn, I know that playing with kind of a fire is a fool¡¯s errand.

When a work project forces us back together, I discover that behind Simon¡¯s brooding, secretive facade lies a heart of gold.

He breaks down my walls one sexy, wicked smile at a time.

Soon all I do is dream...of his touch, his kisses, and of a love strong enough to last forever.

But I¡¯ve got secrets of my own. And when they rear their ugly head, Simon will question everything I¡¯ve ever told him.

Can I find the courage to fight for what¡¯s mine?

Or will it all go up in flames?]]> 288 Dylan Allen Munsaka 0 to-read 3.91 2017

]]> 214673148 Do not touch the sword.

Do not turn the key.

Do not open the gate.

In the land of the unforgiving desert, there isn¡¯t much a girl wouldn¡¯t do for a glass of water.

Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses, or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen¡¯s reservoirs for as long as she can remember.

But a secret is like a knot.

Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone.

When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares¡­but it turns out they¡¯re real, and Saeris has landed herself right in the middle of a centuries-long conflict that might just get her killed.

The first of her kind to tread the frozen mountains of Yvelia in over a thousand years, Saeris mistakenly binds herself to Kingfisher, a handsome Fae warrior, who has secrets and nefarious agendas of his own. He will use her Alchemist¡¯s magic to protect his people, no matter what it costs him¡­ or her.

Death has a name.

It is Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate.

His past is murky.

His attitude stinks.

And he¡¯s the only way Saeris is going to make it home.

Be careful of the deals you make, dear child.

The devil is in the details...

Is it possible to fall for a man you don't know?

Before I saw his face,
Or heard his voice,
Or felt the warmth of his touch,
I fell in love with his mind.
Devious. Cunning. Deceptive .

The master of deadly and dangerous plans.
The silent threat no one saw coming.
Manipulating people's lives like pawns on a chessboard.

When he steps out of the shadows,
The king reclaiming his throne,
He sets the world aflame,
And burns my heart to ash.

MASSIMO

After eighteen years,
I finally got my freedom back.
My dark empire was waiting.
Primed for me to take the reins.

I'll punish the traitors who stole my life.
And make them feel true pain.
The era of peace is over.
I¡¯m ready to unleash mayhem.

But I left one prison,
Only to be trapped again,
In a battle between my conscience and my desire.

The one thing I desire above all else,
I can never have.

My sweet angel.
My magnificent queen.
My Zahara.


The Perfectly Imperfect is a series of interconnected standalones, where books can be read in any order. However, Sweet Prison (Book 10, Massimo & Zahara¡¯s story) was written as a companion to Darkest Sins (Book 9, Kai & Nera¡¯s story), and I strongly recommend reading the duet in tandem and proper order. ]]> 378 Neva Altaj Munsaka 0 to-read 3.86 2024

Liam

My newest obsession is nothing like any of my past hookups.

The tattoos? Not exactly my type. A perma-scowl and general leave-me-alone attitude? Yeah, that's the kind of thing I usually stay away from. And, sure, is it surprising that suddenly those things seem to be everything I want? Absolutely. But the most shocking part about all of this is that the person who's got me all out of whack... isn't a girl.

Bash is a six-foot-four-tatted personal trainer who seems to want nothing to do with me and my confused self. Until I'm naked, that is. And it's great when I am, but as soon as I'm dressed, he's more than ready to say goodbye.

But if there's one thing getting a taste of Sebastian Crawford has taught me, it's that one taste just isn't enough.

Sebastian

I don't know how to take Liam and his obvious crush on me, but it's clear that he did not sign up for the kinds of workout sessions I'm used to giving. So, I take him home, giving us both what we so clearly want, and settle on my choice to say goodbye as soon as it's done.

But that goodbye is a little harder than I anticipated, and finding out that our time together was his first time with a guy, period, has me regretting the way I so easily tossed him aside. Liam is more sensitive than I originally believed, and after being cheated on by his last girlfriend only to move on to me, I can't help but feel that he deserves better... better than me.

But if there's one thing getting a taste of pretty boy Liam Walker has taught me, it's that I'm willing to change my emotionally stunted ways.]]> 395 Brianna Flores Munsaka 3 Gay awakening indeed ??

Playing the part of my sister¡¯s maid of honor is easy even if she¡¯s marrying my ex.
But playing nice with the best man? An impossible task given our history.

And the one I¡¯m secretly starting to wish I met first.

Luke
My job as the best man is a simple one, except for one minor issue.

She is only in Lake Wisteria for the winter wedding, but her January departure date won¡¯t stop me from pursuing her.
Getting her to date me would be nothing short of a Christmas miracle, but I¡¯m determined to make her mine.
¡®Tis the season to fall in love¡­even if I¡¯m the only one taking the risk.

?
Rufus Leung Gresham, future Earl of Greshambury and son of a former Hong Kong supermodel, has a problem: his family fortune, the legendary Gresham Trust, has been depleted by decades of profligate spending. While magazine covers and Instagram stories display impeccably designed manors and shiny new yachts, the secret reality holds nothing more than a gargantuan mountain of debt. The only solution, put forth by Rufus¡¯s scheming mother, is for Rufus to seduce a woman with money, thereby securing the family's precarious financial future.

Should he marry Sol¨¨ne de Courcy, a French hotel heiress with honey-blond tresses and a royal bloodline? Should he pursue Martha Dung, the tattooed venture capital genius who passes out billions like lollipops? Or should he follow his heart, betray his family, squander his legacy, and finally confess his love to the literal girl next door, the humble daughter of a doctor, Eden Tong?

When the Gresham family descends on the Big Island of Hawaii to host a veritable who's who of sultans, barons, and oligarchs for the wedding of the decade, Rufus must merely flex his famous abs to bewitch the heiress of his choice. But instead a hot mic exposes a secret tryst, a volcanic eruption burns through the nuptials, and the Gresham family's plans¡ªand their reputation¡ªgo up in flames.

Can the once-great earldom rise from the ashes? Or will a secret tragedy, hidden for two decades, reveal a shocking twist? Spanning the black sand beaches of Hawaii, the red city of Marrakech, the Los Angeles bachelor pad of a billionaire playboy, and the inner sanctum of England¡¯s oldest family estate, Lies and Weddings reveals an enthralling family saga that is as scandalous and satirical as it is full of heart.]]> 437 Kevin Kwan 0385546297 Munsaka 0 to-read 3.69 2024

]]> 199928276 A recently deceased woman meets ¡°the one¡± in the afterlife waiting room, scoring a second chance at life (and love!) if she can find him on Earth before ten days are up¡­.

If she wasn¡¯t dead already, Delphie would be dying of embarrassment. Not only did she just die by choking on a microwaveable burger, she¡¯s also now standing in her "sparkle and shine" nightie in front of the hottest man she¡¯s ever seen. And he¡¯s smiling at her.

As they start to chat, everything else becomes background noise. That is, until someone comes running through a door yelling something about a huge mistake and sends the dreamy stranger back down to Earth. And here Delphie was thinking her luck might be different in the afterlife.

When Delphie is offered a deal in which she can return to Earth and reconnect with the mysterious man, she jumps at the opportunity to find her possible soulmate and a fresh start. But to find him in a city of millions, Delphie is going to have to listen to her heart, learn to ask for help, and perhaps even see the magic in the life she¡¯s leaving behind. . . .]]> 369 Kirsty Greenwood 0593816137 Munsaka 0 to-read 4.05 2024

As a boy, William Goldman claims, he loved to hear his father read the S. Morgenstern classic, The Princess Bride. But as a grown-up he discovered that the boring parts were left out of good old Dad's recitation, and only the "good parts" reached his ears.

Now Goldman does Dad one better. He's reconstructed the "Good Parts Version" to delight wise kids and wide-eyed grownups everywhere.

What's it about? Fencing. Fighting. True Love. Strong Hate. Harsh Revenge. A Few Giants. Lots of Bad Men. Lots of Good Men. Five or Six Beautiful Women. Beasties Monstrous and Gentle. Some Swell Escapes and Captures. Death, Lies, Truth, Miracles, and a Little Sex.

In short, it's about everything.]]> 429 William Goldman 0345418263 Munsaka 0 to-read 4.27 1973
