Have you ever been so into a story that nothing else registers? That is the trance This Could Be Us put me in. This book can be read as a stand-alone but loosely links a trio of friends first introduced in Kennedy Ryan’s last novel, Before I Let Go. So multi-dimensional—as life is—This Could Be Us covers the complicated journeys of divorce, self-discovery, raising kids, autism, friendship, and so much more, all written in a way that is real and relatable. Soledad senses something is off with her husband but can't quite figure out what it is. It all comes to a head one dreadful night—leaving Soledad to figure out how to best support herself and her girls while starting a personal journey to heal from the trauma of it all. Steeped in lessons of self-love and opening yourself to receive the love you deserve from others—this is a read you won’t be able to put down. —Kami Tei, Amazon Editor
I know I love a book when I can’t stop thinking (and talking) about it. That’s how I feel about Expiration Dates by Rebecca Serle. For over twenty years, Daphne has received a note with a name and number, telling her how long each of her relationships will last—three days with Martin, three intense months with her now-best friend Hugo, etc. Until one day, Daphne receives a note with just a name—Jack. As their relationship unfolds, Daphne contemplates what she thought “forever” would look like, and the ways in which fate has shaped her life and how she’s let it, for better or worse. What could have been a lighthearted romance becomes something richer with each layer Serle deftly adds to this insightful and heartbreaking novel. I cherished every character in this story, including the city of Los Angeles, which came alive on the page. I’m jealous of everyone who gets to read this book for the first time, but I can’t wait to talk about it! —Abby Abell, Amazon Editor
This is your next romantasy obsession! In a world of Vikings with godly powers, Freya is trapped in a loveless marriage to a cruel “child of the gods.” But in a twist of rage and fate, Freya reveals a secret that is at the heart of a prophecy—she is also a child of the gods, the shield maiden, gifted with the power to unite Skaland under a single ruler. She immediately becomes the pawn of Jarl Snorri, who believes it is his destiny to rule as long as he controls Freya. As he begins his bid to conquer, he demands that his son, Bjorn, protect Freya at all costs. Freya grapples with the depths of her powers and her forbidden feelings for Bjorn that grow harder to resist each day. I loved being immersed in this new world and following Freya as she battles to take control of her destiny. This book ended with so many threads unraveled, I will be excitedly and impatiently waiting for the next book in the series! —Abby Abell, Amazon Editor
Strong business women need love too. In this second-chance romance, high school sweethearts Violet and Xavier bump into each other after no contact for nine years. Violet is a successful stylist to the stars, while Xavier is a high school teacher in their hometown. Their last encounter didn’t go well, so needless to say, there are lots of feelings. Then a chance meeting turns into a wild night at a Vegas nightclub—ending with events they barely remember. Since the two live in different cities with completely different lives, both believe the chances of meeting again are low, but they couldn’t be more wrong. Two weeks later, a series of events bring them back together. Past mistakes, shattered dreams, and the consequences of lies and stories never told start to make up the fabric of their tattered past. They were once so close—can their separate paths lead them back to each other? This story is for tenderhearted believers in love. —Kami Tei, Amazon Editor
This steamy western romance caught me by surprise with its tenderness and vulnerability. Ada Hart is ready for independence after the end of her short-lived marriage to a controlling man. But things get off to a sexy yet rocky start when the handsome cowboy she impulsively makes out with at a local bar turns out to be the client for her biggest renovation project to date—a ranch bed and breakfast in Wyoming. Weston Ryder (such a good name) is immediately smitten with Ada, but she refuses to consider what they could become. I wasn’t expecting the honesty of these characters as they struggle to overcome the fears and burdens of their pasts to build a future…hopefully together. It was a breath of fresh air, just like the incredible Wyoming landscapes that made me want to move out west. I had so much fun with this book and am mildly obsessed with the cover. I can’t wait for the next book in this delightful series! —Abby Abell, Amazon Editor
