Move Me Series: Cherry Blossom Lake #6 Author: Tawna Fenske Release Date: January 30, 2026 Publisher: Independent Genre/Trope: Romantic Comedy/Fiction/Small Town Romance Add it to Goodreads Everyone knows my criminal past. It’s why Hazel Spencer hates me. Might also be why she tore off my clothes and climbed me like a tree. Hey, no judgment. I still can’t forget how she melted in my arms. Turns out Hazel can’t forget, either, but for different reasons. Our mind-blowing bang in her mansion’s foyer left our small town’s famed ice queen knocked up. It’s a shock to us both, but the truth? There are worse things having a baby with a smart, sexy woman I like. A woman who zings from “come hither” to “get lost” so fast my head spins. Can’t really blame her. Hazel’s dad messed her up good. The prick earned his own prison jumpsuit and the ire of the Spencer-King family. And family matters to Hazel. It’s how I know she’ll be a great mom. And I’m hellbent to prove I’m daddy material. A guy who can...

𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐌 (The Wildhaven Series: Book 3) by Amber Kelly is now LIVE! Waylon Ludlow was my first heartbreak—the boy I secretly loved from the sidelines while he ruled Wildhaven High and then disappeared without a word. Now he’s back, all smirks and whiskey-soaked charm, and with a baby no one knew about. But I’m not the same quiet girl I once was. I’m fire now. Feral, stubborn, and one smart-ass comment away from punching him square in the jaw. I live loud, love hard, and fight for what matters. And even though Waylon is a mess of mistakes wrapped in faded denim, my heart still skips like it’s seventeen every time he looks at me. And his little girl, well, she’s got me wrapped around her tiny finger. We clash. We burn. We break things. But the more I push him away, the more I wonder—am I chasing the storm, or is it chasing me? Add to Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/244138571-chasing-the-storm 𝑶𝑵𝑬-𝑪𝑳𝑰𝑪𝑲 𝑻𝑶𝑫𝑨𝒀!

Answer: Six jillion weddings the same month I get dumped. At least I’m not alone. My best pal got the boot from her boyfriend, which is nuts. Erika’s funny and hot in that I-can-fix-your-transmission way. She’s too good for that guy. Way too good for pity parties from my meddling twin. Protecting us both means telling a little white lie. A fake relationship gives us dates for gobs of giddy, small-town weddings. Someone to laugh with over botched bouquets and risqué buffet spreads. Someone who knows me better than anyone, which…okay, awkward. I’ve got baggage, you know? But fake dating Erika feels more fun than drag karaoke at my brewpub. We’re just friends—nothing sexy between us. Well, maybe once, but it’s part of the act, ri...

She lost her sister in the worst way, and I— Well, let’s just say it messes with a guy to learn his dead addict mom isn’t. Dead, I mean. Who knew? Not my big pack of rowdy brothers. My sister might’ve sensed it, but I had a different take. One I’ve never told anyone. There’s stuff I should take to the grave, but Brooke’s got me all up in my feelings. Turns out they aren’t just below...

Boy Toy. Player. I’ve heard what they call me, and never gave it much thought. Then Zoe walks in with her library smarts and innocent eyes and one helluva dirty idea. I guess living in hospitals for two decades didn’t leave much time for dating. Or any kind of fun, really. Zoe’s a virgin with a bucket list, and guess who’s on it? No way am I satisfying her desires. She’s my boss’s little sister-in-law, and besides. I’m maxed out with my sick dad and a secret I’m not ready to share. I’ll help with the unsexy things on Zoe’s list. Problem is, everything from a foul-mouthed pinball machine to my dopey dog keep conspiring to push us together.
