NEWCOMER

Dads of Stillwater - Book One

Release Date: February 7, 2023

Review

It begins here. The start of a heart-tugging series of single dads and the town of Stillwater.  I’ve read the rest of the series, but I had missed reading the first story.


Loved getting a glimpse of how it came to be. And this sweet story of Arlo, who’s recently moved to Stillwater, and Levi, who is essentially new to town after being gone for so long. Not that he left by his own desire. Find love and stand up for themselves.


Two kind-hearted artists who just want to belong and do what they love most. While not all in Stillwater are welcoming, they find a wonderful community to support them.

Synopsis

I lost everything in the fight for my daughter...

So, with my tail between my legs and completely out of options, I ran back to Stillwater. The town that stole everything from me.

The only silver lining is...Arlo.
Arlo, who won my daughter’s heart with a simple gesture. Arlo, who charmed me before I even knew his name. And here I thought returning home was going to be yet another train-wreck.

How could I not fall for the guy who didn’t think twice about taking a phallic-looking plant into a bar for a drink.
We both have secrets, baggage, and a connection that feels more real than any I’ve had before.

But I can’t start something new.
Not in the town that still hates me and is not afraid to show me every step of the way.
Besides, I need to put my daughter first.

Can the newcomer and the returnee change the town that never changes?

Newcomer is book 1 in Ana Ashley’s new series, Dads of Stillwater.
Welcome to Stillwater where you can find single dads, sassy kids and Ana’s usual cast of intriguing secondary characters.

REVIEW: Resting Beach Face by DJ Jamison (Swallow Cove #4)

  RESTING BEACH FACE Swallow Cove - Book Four by DJ Jamison Release Date: February 20, 2025 Review Declan is so beautiful. Quiet, a little grumpy, a little withdrawn, and maybe a little lost and lonely. Then there’s Cash - outgoing, sexual, and completely obsessed with Declan.  It’s a slow burn. One that requires both of them to shift their understanding of each other, and time to truly learn and understand both themselves and the other. I love both the trajectory of the relationship as well as the life and home they build.  It’s a truly wonderful pairing that may be my favourite in the series. Sure I see a bit of myself in Declan, but I also just adore the way Cash grew and how they balanced each other. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis He could have anyone he wants...so why is he so interested in me? Cash is a gorgeous chaotic bi guy with a reputation for getting around. And me? I'm the antisocial grump, closed off and lonely. We should be like oil and water....

REVIEW: All I Fear by Abrianna Denae (All's Fair #2)

  ALL I FEAR All’s Fair - Book Two by Abrianna Denae Release Date: September 19, 2023 Review protective, possessive and violent men.  Tennant and Hollis are an incredible pair. Kinky in the wildest way, they are everything and I adored them (even if slightly disturbed too).   Roman is heir to the Amato family and Tennant, as second in command, must shape him into the man he needs to be to one day takeover. Roman is a bit bratty and wild. Truthfully I don’t really care for him, but he certainly makes for an interesting dynamic to both Tennent and Hollis’ lives. I also love the addition of the odd chapter by other people’s view points, it adds a really interesting dynamic and keeps you tied to all the characters in the series. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Tennant Mason is the Amato Family’s Second in Command. He’s calculating and lethal, his antisocial personality disorder provides him with the perfect tools for the Amatos to turn him into their deadlie...
