Release Blitz & Review: Wilde Night

 


Published  November 10, 2026

As the last of the Wilde siblings still unattached, I’ve become pretty good at lying to myself.

I tell myself I’m happy with my single life. That the ranch, my family, and the steady stream of women willing to share my bed are all I need. But the truth is, I want what everyone else in my family has—someone to love, someone who loves me back, someone who makes coming home mean something.

I’m just convinced I’ll never find her in River Falls.

Then Emberlynn walks into my life.

She’s new to our small mountain town, running from a past she’s desperate to leave behind. When my family hires her as the ranch veterinarian, my mother gives me one simple job the first night I meet Emberlynn: befriend her, show her around town, and keep an eye out for her.

Easy enough.

Except somewhere between late-night conversations, stolen smiles, and moments I can’t stop replaying, Emberlynn becomes more than someone I’m supposed to protect.

She becomes the woman I can’t imagine my life without.

Review


This is the last book of the series and I have been waiting to see what it would take for Gatlin to fall! He secretly wishes he had the HEA like his siblings. Of course, they are all too happy to meddle to make sure he gets his. When their new vet, Emberlynn starts working on the ranch and Gatlin admits she could be something to him, all sibling bets are on the table.

This is a true friends to lovers story. Emberlynn wants to go slow and Gatlin is just so happy she wants to spend time with him. They are great together. I enjoyed learning their stories along with them.

It will be sad to say goodbye to this bunch! The whole series was a bunch of feel good stories and well deserved HEA.

I hope to get an extended epilogue or Christmas book at some point, just to check in with them again.

Great series!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Chasing Smoke by Piper Rayne is now live!




I've been running toward burning buildings for a decade. Then my best friend's widow smiled at me for the first time in two years, and I knew right then I was in trouble.

After Caleb died, I made a promise—I’d take care of his wife. Keep an eye on her. Check in on her. Make sure she kept on living.

Collins insists she’s fine. She’s not.

So when she finally agrees to let me help pull her out of her grief, I vow to stand beside her however long she needs me, no matter how much it costs me.

Collins isn’t supposed to smile at me like she does. She’s not supposed to let me in. And she definitely isn’t supposed to be the best part of my day.

She was Caleb’s. I know that.

The problem is, I can't stop wondering what it would be like if Collins wasn't just someone I was meant to protect.

But mine.

Review

This is the second book follow the Mercer family in their small town. This is Ansel's story. we get some hints from the first book that he has been looking after his buddies widow. Something more is simmering under the surface.

Ansel has such a great support system yet he hasn't talked out his feelings about how Caleb died. Collins has almost mirrored that behavior. She if functioning but still very mired in her grief. Both of them dance around each other not sure if being more than friends is "ok". Has enough time past? Is it always bro code and you don't go after another guys girl? Lots to sort out between these two. Ansel was so very patient with Collins and she navigated a new life without Caleb.

As always, the small town characters bring this story to life. The richness of the relationships help both Ansel and Collins heal. When truths come out, everyone rallies to support these two.

Great addition to the series! I can't wait to read more!

Release Blitz & Review: Holding Ground

 



Blurb

I’ve been a single dad for five years. Then the wrong woman rented the guest cabin behind my house, and I knew right then she was going to ruin everything.

When Baylor's mother walked out, I made a promise—I'd be enough. Just the two of us. No one to disappoint her. No one else to leave.

Then Emelia Greene rolled into Echo Lake in a Mercedes and a power suit to convince the townspeople to change what makes our small town great. She’s everything this place isn't.

Emelia's not supposed to be kind. She's not supposed to be good with my daughter. She's definitely not supposed to be the one I find myself confiding in at the end of my dock every night.

She's leaving in three months. I know that.

The problem is, I can't stop wondering what it would be like if a woman like her belonged in a place like this.

In a life like mine.

Review

I love a good single parent romance Sit it in a small town with all the small town antics--- I'm sold!! This is the first book in a new series by this author team. It kicks off with a bang!

We meet grumpy single dad and town champion, Elliott and watch him come face to face with Emelia-a person sure to destroy his beloved town. When it turns out they have to spend a lot of time together as her rental is repaired---yeah--she isn't so bad now is she?

Great set up for the series. We meet the Mercer family and all the towns people. The setting is beautiful. The family dynamics are unique and I have a feeling each one of those men is going to fall HARD!

I can't wait to read more about them.
