Release Blitz & Review: This Heart


This Heart by Kelly Elliott is now live!




Book Blurb

Liam


The heart is fickle. One day, you love something or someone, and then the next, they destroy you with their lies, and that love disappears.

I'm over the lies and the deceit. So, I tell my wife I want a divorce, only to find out she's fighting for her life, against a disease that doesn't like to lose. What kind of man would I be if I went through with ending our marriage knowing she's sick?

So, I stay. I raise our daughter, and I'm there to help her when she needs me. Her best friend, Aurora, is there too, which becomes a problem because Aurora is everything my ex isn't, and with each passing day, I fall harder for her, and my guilt for those feelings grows.


Aurora

When Hope told me about her diagnosis, I wanted to do anything I could to help her through this. I vowed to be there for her, to help in any way I could.

I jumped in to help with Winnie and picked up the slack where Liam couldn't. With each day, we watched her condition worsen. I spent more time with them, mostly Liam and me, and in time, we grew to be good friends. After we lost Hope to her illness, the friendship I thought I had found in Liam was destroyed when he pushed me away with words that cut to the core.

When Liam reaches out to heal the wound between us, we begin to grow close again, and I can admit to myself that my feelings for Liam go far beyond simple friendship. When Liam shares the biggest secret of his life with me, and the truth about his relationship with Hope comes to life, everything changes between us. His guilt will not let him fully move on with his life.


How can I convince him that if he'd let me, I'd love him and his daughter for eternity? I'd give him this heart with no regrets.


This Heart is book four, and the last book in the Moose Village series.

Review

This is the last book of the series and may be my favorite. you don't need to read the others but please do!! Moose Village is a perfect small town. You will love all the characters.  This one follows Liam after his wife passes away. Your heart will break but get fille with so much hope when Liam and Aurora FINALLY reveal their true feelings. 

I loved seeing their friend group really rally around this couple. Things can seem taboo after the death of a spouse but these two are such good friends, it just makes sense. Once some secrets get revealed. Aurora can't help but fall in love with Liam even more.  

Loved the series and as I said, this book is the perfect topping on the series! 

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

Release Blitz & Review: When We Breathe





                         






Book Blurb


When We Breathe by Kristen Proby is now live!


From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes When We Breathe, a small-town, mmf Why Choose romance set in Bitterroot Valley!

Alex

I met Adam and Gabe the old-fashioned way: in a bar. That is, if old-fashioned means that I met a couple of men already in a committed, loving relationship, and they took me home for a night of debauchery and fun, then yeah. That.

It’s just supposed to be one night. I don’t want to be the third wheel or put any kind of a wrench in their love story. These two guys are perfect together. Gabe is the laid-back, easygoing auto mechanic with muscles for freaking days. Adam isn’t lacking in the muscle department either, honestly, but he’s more intense, a little more bruised from a shaky past.

Like me.

I find myself craving their attention all the time. And they don’t seem to want to let me go. What started as one night has turned into something so much … more. I’m a girl who thought she wasn’t lovable, and instead, these two men are proving to me that the three of us could have something really special.

But it’s hard for me to trust, and letting go of the last of my independence may be where I draw the line. Will these men let me walk away, or will they fight for us?

Review

Whew!  This one was HAWT!!!!!  Loved that this throuple was begging to have their story told. Thank you so much for bringing their story to life. 

This story parallels some of the other stories in the series. Loved to see Alex get some unconditional love from someone besides her siblings.  Adam and Gabe are perfect for her. Great to see parts of the story from different POV. 

Wonderful addition to the series!

Release Blitz & Review: Whispers from the Lighthouse

 


Title: Whispers from the Lighthouse Author: Heidi McLaughlin 

Genre: Paranormal & Cozy Romance

  Release Date: October 21, 2025 

Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.

Some secrets refuse to stay buried . . . even for twenty-five years.

When tourist Melissa Clark vanishes near Westerly Cove's historic lighthouse, Detective Brooks Harrington expects a routine missing person case. Instead, he's paired with Vivienne Hawthorne, a tea shop owner who claims her family can speak to the dead.

The case mirrors a twenty-five-year-old mystery—teenage Lily Morgan, who disappeared while researching the same lighthouse. Both women were asking dangerous questions about the town's buried secrets.

Vivienne's visions reveal corruption deeper than anyone imagined, but skeptical Brooks believes in evidence, not psychic abilities—until her insights lead him to clues logic couldn't uncover.

Racing against time, they must navigate their growing attraction while confronting enemies determined to keep Westerly Cove's darkest secrets buried forever.

Review

I had read the prequel novella for this series and that had me sucked in. I wasn't sure what this story was bringing other than the continued mystery of this small town's lighthouse, the deaths, the smuggling, the not so hidden secrets. What the author brought us was a wonderful world bridging on paranormal but kind of witchy light if you will. 

If you read the novella, this book jumps forward 20 ish years. Brooks is a new detective in town and walks right into another disappearance.  The book follows this story and introduces Brooks to Vivienne, the local psychic/witch. Together they work to discover the mystery of the lighthouse. Along the way, they have feelings for each other but those really take a back seat to the investigative work. 

It will be interesting to see if the author can continue to bring such compelling story telling if this couple stays in Westerly Cove. It seems like they may need to talk their show on the road in order to keep things interesting.  

I look forward to more by this author and more of this couple of investigators.
