I’ve never looked at my ability as a curse… Until now.
All Your Tomorrows, an all-new paranormal, college romance from bestselling author J. Nathan is available now!
As a college senior, I’ve lived a pretty normal life. I’ve had pretty normal experiences... A broken heart, a best friend’s betrayal, and the loss of a loved one.
But I’m not normal. I haven’t been since I saw my first spirit at age nine. Most would be inclined to call me a fraud. But, the spirits who visit me know the truth. I’m here to help them connect with their loved ones.
Then, my world gets turned upside down. A new spirit walks into my life— A gorgeous, green-eyed spirit who's stuck between two worlds. He needs me to help him remember the accident that made him a spirit. But his situation is far more complicated.
And, despite every logical thing I know, I find myself falling for him. I know it could never work.
He’s going to disappear from this world forever. But tell that to my heart that races in his presence and trips over itself when I feel his touch. I’ve never looked at my ability as a curse… Until now.
As the eldest McBride, Morgan has had play parent since Ma died and Pa ran off. It hasn't always been easy, especially when his heart longs to roam the trail. But now that his brother Kit is married, Morgan can finally leave Buck's Creek.
Little does he know that his noisy little sister Junebug is determined to keep him home. An advertisement in The Matrimonial News should do the trick!
Epiphany Hopgood is really good at doing the wrong thing. She’s too tall, too loud, too opinionated, and too contrary for her family. Just as she is about to admit defeat and become a spinster, she and her grandmother stumble upon an ad for a bride…
But when Pip shows up to Buck’s Creek, she finds that Morgan McBride is not the husband she expected. In fact, he doesn’t even want to be a husband.
Is there a way to make everyone happy out on the Montana frontier?
I am loving The McBrides of Montana series, and Morgan McBride is certainly no exception.
Morgan McBride is the eldest McBride and now that one of his brothers is happily married, he feels he can leave the family. He has been itching to get back out and head up a cattle drive… to see the country. But Junebug has a fierce attachment to him and refuses to let him leave. Figuring that since her first advertisement for a wife for her brother worked so well, she would try again and find one for Morgan.
Epiphany (Pip) Hopgood has been lead to believe that she is very plain and will become a spinster. Every prospect that her family lined up in Nebraska has declined. And now Pip doesn’t want to be beholden to taking care of her parents. With help from her spritely grandmother, they respond to an ad and find themselves headed to Montana. Only problem is, Morgan has no idea she is coming or that she is his intended fiancé. Being fiercely stubborn, Pip isn’t going to take no for an answer or tuck tale and head back home.
So what happens? You will definitely want to one click this hilarious, endearing story. And rest assured things will get steamy between Morgan and Pip.
Thank you to Netgalley and Penguin Group Putnam for the chance to read and review this book.

Good thing I’ll never have to see him again.
Except when I show up for my new job to teach a little girl how to ride her horse, I find the same icy blue eyes glaring back at me.

One reckless night of giving in, and Caleb and I spiral into a web of passion.
But when I begin to unravel the secrets hiding in this place, I find there is more riding on this job than I thought.
Caleb and Evelyn are worth any sacrifice – only Caleb has to decide what he will sacrifice for me…

French Quarter Flirt Melissa Chambers (Broussard Brothers, #2) Publication date: May 23rd 2023 Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance
He’s New Orleans’ biggest player. She just needs to control the game.
When Garrett Broussard is caught dipping Savannah Sanderson on the dancefloor of the Mardi Gras ball, they’re mistaken for a romantic couple and asked to attend a formal dinner that could boost Savannah’s career. Garrett capitalizes on the opportunity, trading a date for a date—he’ll attend the formal dinner if she’ll help him get his boss, who wants to set Garrett up with his daughter, off his back.
It’s a weekend trip, and they’ll have to share a room to make the fake relationship seem legit. He can handle it. He’ll just sweep the little crush he’s had on her all these years under the rug and pretend she’s not hot at all walking around in that oversized Saints T-shirt and no shorts.
Savannah is at her wits’ end with Garrett Broussard. He shamelessly flirts with her but never puts his money where his mouth is. She highly suspects that if she took him up on his empty advances, he’d cower like a shaking Chihuahua. She has half a mind to put him to the test on this upcoming weekend trip, but she knows better than to play with fire when it comes to a Broussard brother. She just has to make it through the weekend without letting New Orleans’ biggest flirt trample her heart.
He started to walk away, but she took him by the biceps. They were becoming familiar with one another’s bodies with the dancing and the feigning of their relationship. “What do you want? Pretend all obstacles are out of your way. You can have anything you want. What is it?”
He searched her eyes, concentrating on her hard. She didn’t think she’d ever seen him this serious. She knew he had the potential to be serious, because he was a lawyer. But the Garrett she knew was all fun and games pretty much all the time. This Garrett was new to her. This Garrett intrigued her.
“I want…”
She could see his mind whirling, his lips begging to speak the words, but he was holding back. Then something in his face changed, and she could see his resolve waning.
He slipped one hand behind her back and the other under her legs and before she knew what was happening, he was carrying her down the beach toward the ocean.
“Garrett, what the hell?”
“You asked what I wanted. I want to throw your ass in the ocean.”
“Garrett,” she said on a laugh, because he couldn’t be serious right now. “Garrett, put me down. I mean it.”
“Do you have any idea how many times I’ve wanted to throw you in Lake Pontchartrain?”
“This is an ongoing obsession?”
“Absolutely.” They approached the shore and he jostled her, getting a better grip on her. A strong wave rushed at Garrett’s ankles, but he didn’t move out of the way.
“You’re getting your good shoes all wet. You probably need to wear those tomorrow night.”
“If you think I’m bothered by a little ocean water in my shoes, then you don’t know me at all.”
She clasped her fingers together at the back of his neck, feeling like a girl half her size. Savannah had lived in a big body her whole life, and here was this man picking her up like she was a waif.
“Well, if you think I won’t be bothered by being submerged in freezing cold ocean water in this dress and these shoes I do want to wear again, you don’t know me at all.”
“I’ll go in with you.”
“That makes it so much better,” she said, pursing her lips at him.
“Come on, Sanderson, do something wild with me.”
As Savannah gazed into Garrett’s dancing eyes, she understood one thing all too clearly. Whatever he was selling, she was buying.
She kicked off her shoes. “If you’re game, I’m game.”
He grinned from ear to ear. “Let’s take the plunge.”
Melissa Chambers writes contemporary novels for young, new, and actual adults. A Nashville native, she spends her days working in the music industry and her nights tapping away at her keyboard. While she’s slightly obsessed with alt rock, she leaves the guitar playing to her husband and kid. She never misses a chance to play a tennis match, listen to an audiobook, or eat a bowl of ice cream. (Rocky road, please!) She has served as president for the Music City Romance Writers and is the author of the Love Along Hwy 30A series, the Before Forever series (YA), and Courting Carlyn (YA).
“What?” I groan and face her again. “Call someone else. Whatever it is, call someone else to help her. I’ll even pay for it. It’ll be cheaper than the therapy I’ll have to endure after seeing her.”
“She needs help.”
I cross my arms over my chest. “Oh, I know that. I rode with her all the way to Orlando and back to pick up someone’s shit when they moved in with Maddox.”
She sighs.
I sigh back at her.
We watch one another. Neither of us says a word. But Sara? Sara says lots of words, many of which can be heard through the phone dangling in Ashley’s hand from across the room.
If Sara had called and asked for my help, I wouldn’t answer. The woman is hell on wheels. She’s headstrong and thinks she knows everything. Her aversion to physical labor is astounding.
If I’m water, she’s oil—oil that hasn’t been changed in a hundred-thousand miles. And I’m basically holy water, so it’s a no-go.
But it’s not Sara who’s asking for my help. It’s Ashley. And Ashley is family.
Oh, fuck my life.
I blow out a long, hasty breath.
“I’ll let you come over for dinner tomorrow, too,” Ashley says, luring me in with her fluttery lashes.
Still, I hold strong and think it through.
Even if I put up an argument and do my best to resist her pleas for help, I’ll give in. Arguing will only delay the inevitable. At worst, Ashley will call Maddox, and he’ll call me, asking me to go. And I can’t say no to Maddox because he never says no to me.
Except for the spiders.
“Three dinners,” I say. “And movie nights with you guys every Saturday for a month.”
She grins and thrusts the phone my way.
I take it, glaring at her. It only makes her giggle.
I sigh again, just to set the stage. Can’t let Sara think I’m happy about this.
“Hi, giant pain in the ass,” I say.
“Thinking about my ass again, I see.”
This is gonna suck.
Looking for a Fake Fiancé
Have you ever wanted to prove someone wrong so badly that you could taste it?
It doesn’t matter if they’re right. The fact that they had the audacity to say it is what counts.
Hi. It’s me. I’m that person.
The man I’ve been casually seeing told me I’m not “wife material” and should “lower my expectations”. Didn’t he realize I lowered them the moment I met him for dinner?
Obviously not.
Am I petty? Maybe. Annoyed? Of course. Determined? Definitely.
I need someone to help me flaunt my new engagement—my fiancé couldn’t wait to pop the question because I’m that amazing—in his face.
The problem? I don’t have a boyfriend, let alone a husband-to-be.
Which brings us to you.
Are you handsome? Successful? A smooth talker extraordinaire?
Are you willing to do all the things that someone madly in love would do?
Putting your hand on the small of my back. Forehead kissing. Acting like I’m a treasure you can’t live without. I need you to be prepared to do all those things … and maybe more.
What do you get out of this? I’m willing to negotiate terms—especially if they include a job and a place to stay. It’s a long story.
One night. One event. Let’s put on one heck of a show.

Conner Wiseman was once the boy of my dreams. And I hated him when he forgot me. So I decided to make him hate me back.
Fast forward ten years and now Conner is the city’s most beloved football hero. While I’m known as the cold-blooded heiress to my father’s criminal empire.
But the grim truth about Conner’s legend hides behind his golden boy smile. And I’m trapped in a violent high stakes world I despise.
Maybe the past was always going to catch up to us.
We have unfinished business. An old score to settle.
Conner thinks he knows what he’s getting into with me.
He doesn’t.
I thought I knew how to keep from falling for him.
I didn’t.
Because he has always been my weakness.
And I will be his downfall.
After all, a story like ours could never be simple.
No, this will be the messiest one of all...
