‘Bananapants’ is a full-length, contemporary romantic comedy filled with hijinks and shenanigans.
It can be read as a standalone, but the parents of the main characters will be familiar to anyone who has read the Knitting in the City series.
 

★★Blurb★★

Estranged childhood friends unexpectedly reunite under bizarre circumstances and bicker their way to love in this bonkers romantic comedy.

Ava Archer misses her best childhood friend most especially during the month of April. Ask any tax attorney, it’s a lonely, grueling time of year. Luckily, Ava has just received a surprising and delectably absurd offer from her posh doppelgänger at work. She must pretend to be the aforementioned posh co-worker for one night at an extremely fancy party; a party so fancy, there exists absolutely no chance anyone will recognize her or suspect her ruse. . .

Desmond (Des) Sullivan is a thief. And not the heart-of-gold kind. He’s the steal-from-the-rich-and-give-to-the-also-rich-so-he-can-get-paid kind. He does, however, have one firm rule: never steal what the target can’t afford to lose. After a brutal falling out with his father, Desmond hasn’t returned to Chicago in over ten years. But when a good friend is swindled and something priceless is stolen, Desmond must return home, both as himself and his thieving alter ego.

Infiltrate a dangerous secret society of the world’s most elite billionaires while leveraging his estranged father’s resources and not blowing his cover? Sure. No problem. Or it wouldn’t be a problem if Ava Archer hadn’t just walked into the room, wearing a ridiculous wig, speaking with a preposterous accent, and pretending (badly) to be someone she’s not.

Happy Book Release Day!

Chased by the Alpha (Devil Springs, #2) by C.C. Wood is now Available!

Release Date: September 25, 2025
Trope: Fated Mates, Grumpy Alpha, Possessive Hero, Smart-Sassy-Once bitten/Twice Shy Heroine

5 – Shiny, Fated Mates Stars!

Chased by the Alpha is the second book in C.C. Wood’s new paranormal romance series Devil Springs.

This book was such a fun read!
Every time I read one of C.C. Woods’s books, I’m amazed at how easily the story flows and how engaged I become in the story, and the characters.
That is exactly what happened when I read this story.
I started it and before I knew it, hours had passed and I’d finished the book and I’m now eagerly anticipating the new book in the series. *hint-hint C.C. :-)*

From their first “official” meeting of Sela Harper and Garrett Kent, I knew I was in for a wonderful time with these characters.
Right off the bat, Garrett knew who Sela was to him.
But, unfortunately, Sela has no idea who or what she is.

This is where the story gets delicious.
The bantering, attraction, and Garrett’s courting of Sela make for a great story.
I adored this couple and their journey to their happily ever after.

Great story!
Great characters!
Great series!

Synopsis

Welcome to Devil Springs—where no one is completely human, and nothing is what it seems.

My trip to Devil Springs was to surprise my best friend.

Instead, an emergency pit stop a few miles from town becomes a run for my life. I see is a gigantic wolf in the woods change into a man. A naked man who chases me to my car.

After I escaped, I thought I must be hallucinating until I saw him again…in his capacity as police chief of Devil Springs. A local family is causing trouble and I’ve landed smack in the middle of it.

Now, I’m stuck in Devil Springs for the time being and the hot police chief insists I’m his mate. This town and this man are like my dreams come to life, but I can’t give in.

My past has taught me that anything good in my life will be ripped away.

And losing this dream would break me permanently.

To celebrate the launch of these new covers, L.H. wrote a special novella featuring side characters from the Cracks Duet, Yvonne and Conor. If you don’t remember, Yvonne was the heroine’s aunt from the books, and Conor was the hero’s best friend who had a crush on her.

This is an older woman younger man romance.

Check out the blurb and pre-order links below!

Blurb:

At twenty-seven, Yvonne Flynn never knew her eighteen year old neighbour had a secret crush on her. At least not until he kissed her one night and she had to let him down gently.

Now thirty-nine, that awkward boy has walked back into her life a man. And he’s certainly not the bookish, shy teenager she’d once known. Conor Abrahams is the thirty year old COO of a multi-million dollar company. Yvonne is happy to see he’s thriving but she has no clue that he still considers her the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen.

Despite the feelings bubbling between them, Yvonne convinces herself she’s not right for Conor. And Conor is more determined than ever to prove to her they’ve been perfect for each other all along.

It Had To Be You is a 30,000 word novella featuring characters from L.H. Cosway’s Cracks Duet.

Review: Edge of Survival by Toni Anderson

Edge of Survival by Toni Anderson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So for the past month I’ve been re-reading all of Toni Anderson’s “Cold Justice” series and all the spin-offs (Negotiators, Most Wanted).

THEN I recently discovered that the “Her” series was also apart of this series (which I immediately re-read and loved).

Little beknownst to me until I finished my re-read of,”Her Risk to Take”, there is a mention of this book Edge of Survival which I had not read.

So me being a total fan (stalker) of all of Toni Anderson’s work, I immediately had to purchase and read this book.

WHAT A GEM THIS WAS!
This book is a standalone that includes:
– Murder- Suspense-Thriller
– Smart, sassy, nerdy biologist who won’t let anything get in her way of doing her job. (Not even a health issue she’s lived with since she was a young teenager).
– Broken, ex-military, smart, bad-ass helicopter pilot who has become super protective of our biologist.
– Incredible attraction between the protagonists
– Incredible plot twist at the end

I loved this story so much, and I’m so glad I read it.
It reminded me of the writings of Linda Howard, Mary Burton, and Laura Griffin who are also my other one-clicks when they have a book release.

I highly recommend this book!
Enjoy 🙂

Coming Soon

In the mood for a light, charming read that will put a huge smile on your face because it’s just so cute? Circle Tuesday (July 11th) on your calendar and get ready for The Dandelion Diary.

This is a novella in the Maysen Jar series. It’s a single dad romance where the hero’s daughter sets him up with her teacher. Think The Parent Trap but in small-town Montana with spice.

Digital and print preorder links are available now. Audio news coming soon. For my paperback collectors, be sure to snag the gorgeous special edition that matches the floral covers for The Birthday List and Letters to Molly.



Synopsis

Dear Diary,

My dad needs a girlfriend, and I’ve already picked her out.

Miss Adler would be perfect for him, right? She’s super pretty. She has the best smile and she gives the best hugs. And she’s, like, the most amazing teacher in the world.

Dad is my hero, but I can tell he’s lonely. He tries to hide it from me, but sometimes at night, when he thinks I’m asleep, I’ll sneak downstairs and find him sitting on the couch, staring at nothing. He’s never had a girlfriend, not since the divorce. Mom messed him up. She’s good at that.

He’s smart and funny, but he doesn’t laugh enough. I’ve seen other moms at school check him out so I guess he’s handsome. (Eww.) And he makes up the best nicknames. He calls me Dandelion. I bet he’d give Miss Adler an awesome nickname too.

They’re perfect for each other. I just know it. Now I only have to show them I’m right.

Wish me luck.
Katy

Snowed in with her off-limits celebrity client. What could go wrong?
Drama King, an all-new standalone forced proximity, mistaken identity, romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Penny Reid, is now available!

Stuck with her off-limits, taciturn, hunky movie star client during a sudden snowstorm on Christmas Eve, an extremely capable and highly professional bodyguard must keep him alive and warm without letting the tension building between them get too hot.

Bathsheba (Beth) Ryan can’t thank her best friend enough for helping her land the job of her dreams. After being relegated to second-string security for politicians in DC, being hired as an undercover personal security specialist by a giant Hollywood studio is exactly the kind of action she’s always wanted.

Until she meets her first assignment.

Cyrus Malcom can’t thank his agent enough for arranging a blind date with seemingly the woman of his dreams. After spending the past several years playing all the parts and climbing all the ladders, the lonely mega movie star finds himself actually enjoying a night on the town for the first time in ages when he meets the gorgeous, funny, and genuine Ryaine O’Rourke.

Until she shows up at his studio meeting the next day with a completely different name.

A world-wide press tour and too many late-night parties later, Beth simply needs to get through a short, one-day visit during the Christmas holiday, and then she’ll be free of Cyrus Malcom’s confusing hot looks and cold shoulders for good.

But just as they leave the airport, it starts to snow . . .

‘Drama King’ is the second book in the Three Kings Series, is a full-length, contemporary romantic comedy, and can be read as a complete standalone.
