Iris Gibson loves her life.

She adores her family, has great friends, and is devoted to her job. Though she hasn’t found the one yet, Iris is confident her guy is out there. She’s been fortunate in every other area of her life.

But that’s when things change.

Private investigator Landen Fox has seen his fair share of puzzling and heartbreaking cases. But he never expected the one bright spot he could always count on in his day would wind up in his office with a dark cloud hanging over her.

Landen can’t help but feel for the cheerful woman who seems to have lost it all in the blink of an eye. When the people most important to Iris turn on her, leaving her feeling more isolated than ever, Landen vows to figure out who’s out to sabotage her.

And in the process of uncovering Iris’s history, the pair form a connection neither of them saw coming.

This is the 21st book in this series. I have read all but a few. I think they are better read in order but can be read as stand alone books. Iris's world is crumbling around her. Iris and Landon know each other from the gym. Landon is the last single guy at Harper Security. He would love to have what the guys at work have but he hasn't meet the right person yet. Iris comes to Landon's work not knowing that he works there. She needs help. Something is happening and she has no idea what. All of a sudden things are going wrong at work she thinks someone maybe messing with her but she isn't sure. Just when things between Iris and Landon begin getting good everything else in her life begins to fall apart. Her friends don't want to talk to her anymore, things at work at falling apart, and her sister is upset with her. She feels so along. Landon is trying to help and support her but he can't find anything wrong. All his coworkers are telling him to watch for the other shoe to fall. After all, all of them ran into trouble when they found their women. This book was a great read. I loved that I couldn't guess who was behind things. I am sad to see the series end but loved it all the same. Fantastic job once again A.K. Evans.

Chasing Forever (Plain Daisy Ranch #4) Release Blitz +Review

 Chasing Forever by Piper Rayne is now live!


It was a fun Vegas getaway—until I woke up married to my ex-fiancé’s brother.


After Watson brother #1 ditched me at the altar, I stopped believing in happily-ever-afters. So I have no clue how I ended up saying “I do” to Brooks—Watson brother #2—somewhere between tequila shots and bad decisions.
Okay, that may not be true.

Sheriff Watson has been a charming thorn in my side ever since his brother left our small ranch town in his rearview mirror. He’s a little too steady, a little too sweet, and way too intuitive because he sees through my facade. But no matter how tempting he is, he’s still a Watson.

I demand an annulment. He refuses, bargaining four real dates before he signs.

Fine. I’ll sabotage each one and keep my heart safely locked away. It’s easier this way because he has no idea the secret I’m keeping.

Of course, Brooks doesn’t go down easy—he has enough faith for both of us. He tackles my fears at every turn, making me wonder what would happen if I went all in.

But trusting the wrong man once nearly ruined me—doing it again might finish the job.

This is the fourth book in the Plain Daisy Ranch series. They can be read as standalone books. I haven't read the other books in the series and wasn't lost at all. Lottie and Brooks wake up the morning after a Vegas Wedding of a friend/relative to find that they themselves are married as well. The problem well Lottie at one time was engaged to Brooks brother. They live in a small town and nothing stays a secret. This won't either. Lottie just wants an annulment. Brooks wants to stay married. Will he be able to convince her to give them a shot. He has loved her forever. Lottie will be forced to deal with Brooks. He makes her feel things she has been ignoring but now she can't anymore. This book was a fantastic read. I love the connection all the characters have. Brooks's family is the odd one out. He has always felt like he belonged more with Lottie's family and her cousin than with his own. Lottie worries about what some in town will say. Jumping from one brother to the other? Brooks is a wonderful man everyone in town loves him. While Lottie feels like everyone thinks she is broken and they still talk about what happened to her. Can they help each other grow and get passed with the emotional stuff plus find love? I look forward to reading the other books in the series and reading about how they find their love match. Fantastic job once again Piper Rayne.

About MERRY LITTLE KISSMAS (Coming 10/28/2025):

Wanted: A fresh shot at love for the holidays. But fake dating my brother’s grumpy best friend? He’s my new client, for Santa’s sake!

 As a professional matchmaker, my biggest job this holiday season should be simple: find a date for the sexy single dad hockey playeraka my brother’s best friend—for his team’s fancy Christmas Eve gala. 

 Sure Rowan’s hot as a crackling fire and spicier than a gingerbread man, but he hasn’t just sworn off romance. The Christmas hater has made a bet that I can’t find him a holidate.

 What’s a matchmaker to do?

 Win, of course. Even if it means fake dating the grinch myself to get him ready for the real thing.

 Only…these fake dates at Christmas tree farms and hot cocoa competitions in the snowy small town of Evergreen Falls start to feel a little too real as I get to know the man behind the scowl. Somewhere between kisses under the mistletoe and a snowed-in night in his cabin curled up by the fire (where the stockings aren’t the only thing hung), I realize I’m in over my elf-loving head.

 And when Rowan opens up to me at last about his painful past, I’m determined to give my brother’s best friend the holiday he deserves.

 But what if the only gift I want him to unwrap this season is… me?

Tropes: Holiday romance, brother’s best friend, fake dating, grumpy/sunshine, small town, Christmas competition, matchmaker romance, workplace romance
