1. Now That I’ve Found You by Bella Andre
“World-renowned artist Drake Sullivan doesn’t paint women. Ever. Not when he knows all too well just how destructive painter/muse relationships can be. But on the day Rosa Bouchard walks onto the cliffs outside his Montauk cottage, Drake is so captivated that he can’t stop himself from bringing her life on canvas.
I can’t get enough of the Sullivans! I have read and re-read this series several times
Shocked and horrified by the nude photos of her that have just hit the Internet, reality TV star Rosa’s every instinct is to run from her Miami home and hide. After driving all night, she ends up in Montauk, New York, where she doesn’t know a soul and plans to lie low until she can figure out how to deal with the media firestorm–and her own mother, who seems all too happy to sell out Rosa’s happiness for more fame, more fans, and more money. The very last thing Rosa expects to find, and to fall for, a sinfully sexy man like Drake Sullivan.
Drake has never felt this way about anything he’s painted…and he’s definitely never felt this way about a woman. When they kiss, everything but sweet, breathless desire melts away. But can he convince Rosa to trust–and to love–again after such a devastating betrayal?”
I have heard great things about the author, Bella Andre! I’m excited to check this book out!

2. The Deal by Elle Kennedy

But while she might be confident in every other area of her life, she’s carting around a full set of baggage when it comes to sex and seduction. If she wants to get her crush’s attention, she’ll have to step out of her comfort zone and make him take notice…even if it means tutoring the annoying, childish, cocky captain of the hockey team in exchange for a pretend date.
…and it’s going to be oh so good
All Garrett Graham has ever wanted is to play professional hockey after graduation, but his plummeting GPA is threatening everything he’s worked so hard for. If helping a sarcastic brunette make another guy jealous will help him secure his position on the team, he’s all for it. But when one unexpected kiss leads to the wildest sex of both their lives, it doesn’t take long for Garrett to realize that pretend isn’t going to cut it. Now he just has to convince Hannah that the man she wants looks a lot like him.”

4. Wasted Words by Staci Hart
“Some universal truths refuse to be ignored. Peanut butter and jelly are a match made in heaven. Spaghetti and meatballs are best friends forever. And guys like Tyler Knight don’t go for girls like Cam Emerson. She knew from the second she met him that he didn’t belong on her bookshelf, the six-foot-six ex-tight end with a face so all-American, it could have sold apple pie. So she shelved him next to the supermodels and rock stars and took her place on her own shelf – the one with the flannel-clad, pasty-faced comic book nerds. Most of her boyfriends have existed between the pages of books, but rather than worrying over her own lacking love life, she puts all her energy into playing Cupid, using her job at the book bar, Wasted Words, as her stomping ground.
Tyler Knight always looks on the bright side. His career-ending injury turned into a job as a sports agent. A horrible breakup led him to Cam, his quirky, smart roommate who is far more beautiful than she realizes. She’s made it perfectly clear she’s not interested in him – not like that at least – but if she ever changes her mind, he won’t hesitate. Because he doesn’t see the lines she’s drawn between them, as much as she insists that they’re there. Deep down he knows that despite their differences, they’re a match well made.”
To be completely honest, I was drawn to this book because of the cover. But after reading the reviews I definitely had to put this book on my to-read list!
This book is available on Apple Books and Kindle Unlimited for free!
5. Turn My World Around by Kait Nolan
“Struggling single mom Corinne Dawson doesn’t have time for fun. She’s too busy making a new life for her son and trying to avoid being dragged down by the ghost of who she used to be. But when an accident knocks her boss out of a local “Dancing With The Stars” style fund-raiser, she finds herself face-to-face with the worst mistake from her past.
Attorney Tucker McGee has always seen past the prickly exterior of this former mean girl. He knows there’s more to the story than simple spite. When they get partnered for Dancing With Wishful, he finally gets the chance to act on the spark he’s felt since shes moved home. But getting past her regrets just might be the biggest challenge he’s ever faced.
As the competition heats up, so do the feelings between them. Will Tucker be able to convince Corinne she’s more than the sum of her mistakes? Or will she be forced to leave town to find a new beginning without him?”
This book sounds like such a good and light hearted read!
