*****Book review*****

>Big Development Brewing<

Right out of the gate, Baylor Mercer is an absolute scene stealer! 💜 She's cute, sensitive, and so sweet. Her innocence and enthusiasm are invigorating and charming.

As for Elliot Mercer & Emelia Greene, I love how she gets under his skin without even trying. It's awesome! 😂 He's a bit of a curmudgeon if you will, and she knocks down his walls with... well, if I told ya, it might ruin the fun. 😘

-- Book quote
“Oh, please. You’re basically a boomer in a fit thirty-four-year-old body.”
-- Ansel Mercer to Elliot 😂

I love their families, whether born to them or built over decades. They have great support systems that help see them through all of life's adventures. It makes me want to learn more about each of them.

I love hearing stories from and about the residents of Echo Lake. Between Dottie's tall tales, Deacon's hidden talents, etc, they bring even more realism to the book and a smile to my face. Of course, it's all made even more entertaining by the Thermos Crew, who seem to have their fingers on the pulse of their community. 🩵🤗

I read along with the audio book. The primary narrators, Callie Dalton and Jason Clarke, are mahvelous in duet. Absolutely mahvelous, Darling! Adding Jill Smith, Aaron Shedlock, Connor Crais, and JF Harding to the cast makes it all the better! 💥💜💥🩵🎧💙💥🩷💥

Piper Rayne has revealed the cover for Chasing Smoke!

Releasing: October 15, 2026

Cover Illustrator & Designer: Buerosued

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.

Holding Ground by Piper Rayne is now live!

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 ⚾️ THE RULEBREAKER: The Dugout bk 3 by #PiperRayne, narrated by #WillaJames & #TeddyHamilton 4.5🌟 A crush that spans 20+ yrs deserves this kind of ending. 💜 www.goodreads.com/review/…. 🌶📚💙📚🎧 #books #romancelandia #bookreview #bookrecs #goodread #newrelease #steamyreads #ValentinePR

Book cover

Title: The Rulebreaker

Author: USA Today bestselling author

Duet Narration by: Teddy Hamilton & Willa James

Also featuring: CJ Bloom, Meg Sylvan, Erin Mallon, JF Harding, Austin Stone, Connor Crais, & Sean Masters

*****Book review*****

>Hands Off Deck<

While there's so much more to this than just rekindling, or repairing, an old flame, I easily fell in love with Decker (Goldie, Deck) Davis and Penelope (Slugger, Pen) Ripley. Add in shy Hazel and several matchmakers, and I had no choice but to go all in with them. 🤗💜

This is sweet and heartwarming with just the right amount of heat. Fine, I absolutely would've been happy to have more, but I'm not complaining. Anyway, what was I saying? Oh, yeah, this is simply fantastic.

-- Book quote
'The sight of my twin brother still hits me sometimes—the strange, quiet miracle that we ended up on the same team, in the same city, as if the universe decided to give us one more shot at getting it right.'
-- Decker Davis

There is a third POV that I really like. It adds more depth to a few things.

I love seeing the relationship between Decker and Foster build and strengthen. And the bets that their friend group make are hilarious. All the love and support that is shown throughout.... ❤️

I read along with the audio book. The primary narrators in this cast duet are Willa James and Teddy Hamilton. The supporting cast members are CJ Bloom, Meg Sylvan, Erin Mallon, JF Harding, Austin Stone, Connor Crais, and Sean Masters. I continue to love this cast of voice actors. They are fabulous! 🎧🩷🎧
