Whispers of You (2023)
Others: Positive One night—a single moment—cost me everything. My body, broken beyond repair. The boy I’d thought was my forever. The life I’d always dreamt of. Now, Holt’s back. And he’s no longer a boy, but a man with shadows in his eyes and demons haunting him. He says he’s here to make things right. To get back a little bit of all we’ve lost. And he doesn’t show any signs of leaving the small town that has been my refuge. As stolen moments turn to days, Holt’s around every corner. With his burning stare and lingering touches. Before long, my walls come crashing down and I’m just hoping that taking this second chance isn’t as reckless as it feels. But not everyone is happy that Holt has returned. As tragedy strikes again, I’m the one left in the crosshairs. And Holt might not be able to save me this time…

Others: PositiveThe world thought I belonged to another man... they were wrong. He was the mysterious dark knight always swooping in to save me when I needed it most. I was the troubled girl with scars and a bleeding heart. He was the gifted guitarist destined for big things. I was the small-town girl battling her demons. He was my earth....always keeping me grounded. And I was his sky...always just out of his reach. Our love was everything I wished for. Until I destroyed it. I never thought I'd see Memphis Payne again after I broke his heart, but the stars had other plans. Because here he is...needing me to clean up his mess this time. Only problem is... Doing so will break both our hearts. They say only the strongest love can survive an apocalypse. That if two people are meant to be, they'll find their way back to each other. I hope they're right. Please note: This duet is an angsty, spicy, dark romance with flawed characters and contains material that may elicit a strong emotional response for sensitive readers.

Others: PositiveAfter eighteen years, I’ve come home to the Scottish island of my childhood. It’s the place I vowed I wouldn’t return to so I never again had to see the man who broke my heart into a million pieces. Yet family has inevitably brought me back, and avoiding my ex, Quinn McQuarrie, is proving impossible when he insists on digging up the past every time we meet. Quinn is now a single dad, the local contractor, and the person the entire town is rooting for to get his happily ever after. The problem is, he wants me to be his HEA, and I just want to move on. When Quinn sees my plans to save the town’s volunteer lifeboat service as an opportunity to work together, I’m stuck with him. And, unfortunately, I soon realize there’s no denying that the chemistry we share has only grown more intense with the passing of time. I know Quinn wants more than just a physical relationship, but it’s all I can promise with so much hurt and distrust between us. However, when strange disturbances escalate to harassment, our lives are turned upside down, and Quinn proves he will do anything in his power to protect me. Even if it means losing each other before we ever get our second chance…

Others: PositiveNothing more. When I met British billionaire Kabir Spencer at Splice London, he promised me an unforgettable night and nothing more. One night turned into a string of encounters, each one hotter than the next. As our dynamic evolved, Spence helped me explore a side of myself I didn’t know existed until the moment I uttered the words Yes, Sir. Then my secrets and my sorrow became too much to bear, and I well and truly broke. During my lowest of lows, Spence cared for me in all the ways I needed. Now, he’s come to my rescue once again, though he dropped a bomb of a secret when he arrived. I have a lot of explaining to do to my current boyfriend and my ex-boyfriend-slash-stepbrother, but I’ll have plenty of time to get to it while we’re trapped together in the mountains for the holidays. As if that isn’t enough, my narcissistic mother is back in town, and she and my stepfather will be joining us, too. Nothing more didn’t last. Nothing I love ever stays. It’s for the best. It’s only a matter of time before the possessiveness and sizzling tension between the three men in my life reach a boiling point and start to feel too real. So Real is the second book in the Boys of South Chapel series. It is a steamy second chance why choose romance that must be read in order. A full list of tropes and triggers can be found on the author’s website.

Others: PositiveWildblumen sind stark. Widerstandsfähig. Sie gedeihen unter den widrigsten Bedingungen und biegen sich im stärksten Sturm. Aber sie brechen nicht. Niemals. Es hat einige Zeit gedauert, bis ich erkennen konnte, dass es in manchen Momenten notwendig ist loszulassen. Egal, wie stark die Liebe ist. Manchmal gibt es jemanden, für den man stark sein und weitermachen muss und der einen mehr braucht. Ich habe eine Entscheidung getroffen. Eine folgenreiche Entscheidung. Und trotzdem hoffe ich, dass eines Tages die Liebe zu mir zurückfindet. Fortsetzung der Wildflower Duet Reihe von Micalea Smeltzer. Wir empfehlen, die Bücher in der korrekten Reihenfolge zu lesen.

Others: NegativeSexy new adult romance meets swashbuckling adventure when ex childhood friends Paige and Seb reconnect to finally track down the treasure that has been a legend in their small Michigan beach town for decades. Perfect for fans of The Goonies and Netflix’s Outer Banks who are craving more romance! Star pupil Paige Malone just finished her first year at Harvard. Dropout Seb Jansen spent that time pumping gas for wealthy yacht owners at a Lake Michigan marina. They haven’t seen each other since high school. A shame, considering that they were once inseparable childhood friends who combed their coastal hometown’s sun-kissed beaches along with a couple of other middle-school pals—hunting the Golden Venus, a legendary local treasure that’s distantly connected to Paige’s family. A treasure rumored to be worth millions of dollars. If it even exists. These days, however, the former BFFs have traded adventure for reality. Paige is home for the summer and is spiraling after losing her college financial aid. While across town, Seb fell in with a bad crowd and now regrets his life choices, big time. Both feel colossally stuck. And alone. But when Paige stumbles upon a hidden secret in her grandmother’s beach cottage, she must get their old treasure-hunting gang back together to finally unravel the mystery that has eluded her family for generations. Who knows: the thrill of the hunt might help Paige and Seb find a path back to their lost friendship…or something more. The Summer of Lost Things brings the summer heat with its combination of a high stakes treasure hunt and a swoony love story. Tropes Childhood friends to lovers Second-chance romance Treasure hunt Family secrets Partners in crime Summer love Small beach town setting Overachiever x bad boy Loveable rogue
