High Intensity (HMT 2G #2) Release Blitz +Review

 Title: High Intensity (High Mountain Trackers HMT 2G, #2) 

Author: Freya Barker 

Genre: Romantic Suspense 

Release Date: November 4, 2024 

Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC. 

Dog trainer and handler, Jillian Lederman, is moving with her pack to Libby, Montana, a place where she has made friends and hopes to find a fresh start. It’s time. For years, she’s just been keeping her wounds fresh by staying in Missoula—where there were regular reminders of all she’s lost—while the rest of the world has continued to move forward. 

Perhaps the new house, the beautiful mountains, and a certain pair of clear, blue eyes hold the promise of new beginnings. 

Since changing careers years ago, former FBI agent Lucas Wolff has found a much better work-life balance as a member of High Mountain Trackers. Still able to serve his community, he has also been carving out a comfortable existence for himself and is not looking to make any changes to it anytime soon. Not even for a particular bold and ballsy redhead he’s been trying to avoid.

That turns out to be an impossible feat when a plane crash during a blizzard sets both of them on the trail of a young girl, all alone in the mountains. But it soon becomes evident they are not the only ones looking, and staying safe means sticking close together.

“Oh, Jillian, I’d like you to meet my son, Lucas.” I meet those pretty green eyes, now sparkling with amusement. Of course a dog named Peanut would belong to this woman. She named her cadaver dog, Emo, after all. Hell, I knew she recently moved to the area—Sloane mentioned it more than once—but I wasn’t expecting to run into her at my mother’s assisted-living home. That’s a little too close for comfort. “So you do have a first name; Lucas, huh?” “You already know each other?” Mom looks back and forth between us. “We do. How are you doing, Jillian?” She adjusts the small furball she’s holding in her arms. “Good, thanks.” I turn to my mother to explain, “Jillian and I met working on a search last summer.” Despite my immediate attempt to identify our connection as a professional one only, I see Mom’s mind already at work behind the gleam in her eyes. Great.

 

  


This is the second book in the High Mountain Trackers 2nd Generation series. This book focus on Lucas Wolff, ex FBI agent and Jillian Lederman, dog handler. Lucas left the FBI and started working for HMT, Jillian is starting over and part of that is moving to somewhere new with her pack of dogs. Lucas has been hasn't had any serious relationships for a reason but Jillian get under his skin and he can't stop thinking about him. Jillian is still haunting by the death of someone close to her. She hasn't been interested in anyone is a long time. But there is just something about Lucas that calls to her. When the two are paired together to find a missing girl things get interesting. The more time they spend around each other the harder it is to resist when they feel for each other. While they are successful in finding the girl things aren't done with the case. There is more going on and it appears the girl is still in danger. Could Jillian be in danger as well? This book was a fantastic read. I love all the characters and can't wait to read more about them. Jillian and Lucas just fit together. They understand each other and know when to push and when to just be there for each other. Lucas would do anything to protect Jillian. Fantastic job once again Freya.

Madden (LSERT #9) Release Blitz +Review

Title: Madden (Laurel Springs Emergency Team, #9)

Author: Laramie Briscoe

Genre: Contemporary Romance 

Release Date: November 2, 2024 

Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.

From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author comes the next book in the Laurel Springs Emergency Response Team.

Trust Laramie Briscoe to provide engaging characters in a well-built world I want to revisit again and again. Carly Phillips, NY Times bestselling author. Madden

Being the newest member of the Laurel Springs Police Department and the LSERT hasn't been easy. I'm trying to carve out a place of my own where family bonds run deep in this tight-knit group of men. They haven't been unwelcoming, but I yearn to truly belong.

In both Laurel Springs, and the LSERT. The one friend I can count on is my K-9 partner, Donut. We're working hard to prove our spot in the police department, and find a sense of home.

When I'm thrust into the role of school resource officer for the local elementary school, I never anticipate being drawn into an investigation that threatens to unravel the fabric of Laurel Springs. Going back to the origins of the Moonshine Task Force. Nor do I expect a little boy with sad eyes and his hot aunt to wiggle their way into my heart. Becca My new life as a dispatcher is a far cry from the dreams I had before I took custody of my nephew. I've put a lot on hold to make sure he has what he needs, and the stability he craves.

But Madden? He's a beacon of warmth and strength during an emotionally cold time for me. Despite my resolve to focus just on being a guardian, there's a spark between us, igniting a flame I thought was long gone.

As we navigate what is becoming an increasingly complex situation, we discover that in the craziness of chaos, love has a way of finding it's place. Even in the darkest of nights.

This is the ninth book in this series. They can be read as standalone books but I think they are better when read in order. Madden is the newest guy on the team. He has been with the team for more than a year but still a rookie because no one else has joined. He is still feels a little like he isn't part of the team. Becca is a dispatcher, she recently gained custody of her nephew Mick after her brother went to jail. She is still figuring things out. Madden knew from the first time he saw Becca that he wanted a shot with her. This book is about how he saw he moment and jumped in with both feet. Both Madden and Becca had rough childhoods. They both want to give Mick the best childhood possible. For things to be so much easier and better for Mick than it was for them. They find a connection with how they grew up and how they deal with things because of the way they grew up. They understand each other so well. I love them as a couple and I can't wait to see what the future holds for them. I so want them to have a child so they can pour their love into that child. Not that they won't love Mick the same way but it will just be different. Fantastic job Laramie. I can't wait to read the next book in the series. Laramie is a fantastic author I have read most of her books and always love them.

Holiday Hire Release Blitz +Review


Title: Holiday Hire
Author: Maggie Cole
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Billionaire, Single Dad/Nanny, Workplace
Release Date: November 1, 2024


BLURB
There are three rules I live by: My boys come first, the rest of my family second, and never mix business with pleasure.

I take pride that I’ve never broken these.

Until her.

She’s a wildcard—the type of woman I never chase.

She has no straightforward plan for her life.

Her version of how to be strict with my boys is laughable.

I swear, she selects her outfits based on what tattoo she wants to peek out, just to make me wonder all day what the rest of it looks like against her flesh.

And that blush she somehow has nailed everytime I look at her, wreaks havoc everywhere it shouldn’t.

The most annoying thing about her?

She’s taken by a neanderthal who treats her like crap (based on the phone conversations I’ve secretly overheard).

So I just have to get through the holidays.

Her two month gig can’t be over soon enough.

Or can it?

Holiday Hire is a billionaire single-dad/nanny romance. It’s a slow-burn, steamy, standalone novel with a strict widower father and a fun-loving, carefree nanny. This workplace love story is sure to keep you entertained.

This book is a standalone read. I feel like it could be connected to other books though and I just don't know. Alexander is ambushed by his family. His mother and father are going away on a mission trip and have hired a nanny to help him in their absence. How ever Alexander doesn't want a nanny and feels like he can do it all on his own. Spoiler he can't. He really wants to but there is just so much to do with his boys and the family ranch, there isn't enough time in the day. Phoebe had no clue that she was being hired without the father's knowledge or more that he didn't want a nanny. But she needs this job and this time away. Things are on the rocks with her long time boyfriend. I secretly think that she knows things are done but doesn't know how to move forward without him. Alexander and Phoebe find each other attractive but neither are looking for that right now. But how long will they be able to fight what they feels for each other? Will Phoebe be moving from one bad relationship to another or do they have a chance of a future together. Alexander still grieves his late wife, who died many years ago. He is interested in Phoebe but his boys need to come first. He needs to figure out how to mess his wants/needs with taking care of his boys. This book was a fantastic read. The book is longer than the books I typically read but I enjoyed it so much and it didn't feel like it dragged on. I could hardly believe the book is as long as it is because it doesn't feel like it at all. I loved the characters and hope to read more about them. Fantastic job Maggie.

So what other option did he have but to let her go?

Years later, he sees her again at her worst.

Her husband-to-be has stranded her on a hiking trail with a head wound, convinced she’s faking her blindness.

But, like always, life intervenes, and he’s forced to leave her behind once again to keep her safe.

As luck would have it, fate gives him one last shot, and brings them together one last time, and Garrett refuses to let her go, despite Bindi’s fiancé coming back begging for a second chance.
