Daisy Honey fled Trusty, Colorado, after years of battling rumors sparked by her gorgeous looks and lust-inducing name. Now a physician on the brink of a promising career, she reluctantly returns home when her father is injured in a farming accident. Daisy expects the small-town girls who hurt her in the past to take cheap shots again—but she’s completely unprepared for a run-in with tall, dark, and wickedly sexy Luke Braden, the only man who has ever stood up for her—and the man she’s never forgotten.
Luke Braden is handsome, wealthy, and the best damn gypsy horse breeder in the Midwest. After a restless youth, he’s finally ready to settle down—only connecting with women is nothing like connecting with horses, and he’s never met a woman worth the energy. After an arrest in a neighboring town, Luke’s past comes back to haunt him, and he realizes that his inability to find love runs deeper than he ever imagined.
A chance encounter sweeps Luke and Daisy into a world of passion. For the first time ever, Luke feels a connection, but Daisy’s life in Trusty is anything but permanent, and Luke can’t manage a future until he puts his past to rest.

Cape Cod Kisses (Love on Rockweill Island, Book 1) by Bella Andre & Melissa Foster
Drew Nelson did not plan to fall in love that morning!
He did not plan to talk with anyone. He did not plan to make a new friend. He resisted all of Amy’s attempts to draw him out− at the hotel, at the airport, on the airplane− giving hurried responses and burying his face in a pile of papers.
But when the flight attendant offered coffee, and a muscle in Amy’s back twitched as she reached for it, and the cup tipped, and the hot liquid puddled in Drew’s lap, then they began to talk!
Earlier in the year, each had lost a spouse of over thirty years. Drew’s wife had died of a brain tumor, Amy’s husband when his small airplane nose-dived to earth, the engine at full throttle − an accident, it was ruled. They live in the same city. Both have grandchildren. They are about the same age. Consciously, or not, they both are looking to love again.
But relationships do not exist in vacuums. Drew is wealthy, and Amy is middle class. Amy is “new” in town – she and her husband moved to Charleston twenty-five years ago – while Drew’s family has lived there for three centuries. Drew lives below Broad, a code word for high society, old families, power, and money. Amy’s home is across the river.
Class warfare may be less violent than it was in the past, but when Drew invites Amy to the St Cecelia Ball, battle lines are drawn.
In a city in which ancestry is important, the ball’s membership is passed from father to son, and only those from the oldest families are members.
Family, friends, co-workers all weigh in on their relationship and choose sides. Allies are found in unexpected places. Opposition comes from among those who were thought to be friends. Though they are gone, even their spouses − through things they have done and things they have said − wield influence in the conflict that follows.
Is Drew is one of them, the rich snobs who despise Amy? Does he truly love her?
Does Amy care for Drew? Can she trust him, or is he simply using her?
As each questions the other’s motives, their feelings for each other are tested.
"To Fall In Love Again is a beautiful and gentle love story that just has to be read."
- review from Amazon
"The story was heart-warming and touching and showed that differences don’t always have to be that important." - review from Amazon
"It's a breath of fresh air to have a romance that doesn't follow the usual format, the fact that the characters were older and everything didn't just fall into place was very realistic."

Our Beck Valley Books review of Book Review - To Fall in Love Again by David Burnett, Author 'Another great read from this wonderful author'.....
"A lovely gentle romance which nicely focuses on a mature relationship and all the joys and negatives that this can bring. It's a nice mellow read with delightful characters that you will want to relax with and enjoy.
We start with such a sad beginning as before Drew's wife dies she makes him promise that he will remarry and be happy. On the other side of the coin we have Amy whose cheating husband kills himself on the day divorce papers are filed. Fates plays a heavy hand to steer them both onto the path of romance, with a little help of friends and family and of course Drew's adorable and funny grandson.
Everything would be fine, if romance and their own personal feelings were all that mattered. But Drew comes from what Amy feels is like another world, with money, extravagant houses and stature, how can she possibly belong? Family are an important part in both lives and their children are obviously protective of their parents and questions are raised about the motives of the other half in the relationship. On top of which both have the grief of their loved ones. They want to be in love but will all this baggage be way too much for them to deal with? I have to say that at one point in the story I wasn't sure which way the relationship would go.
A story of loss, betrayal, love and hope. Another great read from this wonderful author."
Olympic gold medalist skiers Jayla Stone and Rush Remington have been best friends for years. They've seen each other at their best and worst and have kept each other's secrets without fail.

He's changed his womanizing ways, and the only woman who can fill his heart has been right by his side all this time. . Years of intimate conversations and the sharing of hopes and dreams collide when Rush reveals his secret, and one toe-curling kiss changes everything between Rush and Jayla.

But being Rush's best friend means knowing all about his revolving bedroom door--and Jayla has a secret of her own that could jeopardize her career and her relationship with Rush. Even their love may not be enough to overcome Rush's past or secure Jayla's future. . **BONUS** Includes the first chapter (sneak peek) of Read, Write, Love, The Remingtons, Book Five.

BRAND NEW SERIES RELEASE TODAY!!! Catching Cassidy, the very first book from the NEW Harborside Nights Series by Melissa Foster
"I never thought it was possible but I have fallen in love with Melissa Foster's books even more - this new series, Harborside Nights, has me so excited about all of the books in the series! I am practically dying to get my hands on every one of them!" reviews Lynchburg Mama
"At the time of his life when he's getting ready to step out into the 'real' world for the first time, Wyatt has to face a devastating tragedy that no one ever wants to face - the death of both of his parents. He leans on the one person who has always been there for him through every stage of his life - Cassidy. She's always been just a friend but through this tragedy, Wyatt and Cassidy find that they have an irresistible attraction to one another. Has it always been there or is it just happening in light of the recent events? Regardless, it's impossible for either one of them to fight the urges they feel for one another.
Summer romance is burning hot and full of moments where I found myself blushing but I couldn't put the book down because I wanted to see where their summer love was headed. I desperately wanted it to be 'for real' and not just a summer fling but when it's time to return to the real world and become more than college friends, can Cassidy and Wyatt actually make it work? It's a big adjustment as they are heading into the world of adults and structural living. To know the answer, you'll have to get the book and read for yourself. Trust me, you won't want to put it down either until you get the answer to the burning questions you'll have about this couple.
This is a series that I'll find myself engulfed in from start to finish - it'll leave you breathless, hopeful and wanting more!"
Will the reunion between Quin and Stella lead them to a love that will last a lifetime?
When international investigative reporter Quin Gregory returns home to the small town of Littlemouth, Kansas, to recuperate from injuries sustained on the job, he never imagined that he would go dumpster diving for an injured dog or that his mother would interfere with his love life. She and her zany group of friends called TROUBLE (The Readers Organization Uniting Book-loving Littlemouth Elites) decide to set him up with homebody school teacher, and his childhood love, Stella Goody.
Once he recovers, Quin plans to go right back into the danger, and that’s exactly what Stella Goody is determined to avoid. She loves the challenges of teaching school and the safe life she’s made for herself in Littlemouth. She knows Quin has always been trouble, and the last thing she wants is for him to break her heart again.
Can he convince Stella to risk a chance on love and on him?

New Book Release reviewed! For Love or Money by Kathy DiSanto - Author "If this book doesn't have you laughing out loud I don't know what will!" reviews Miki's Hope
"Jen Casey who is now a high school English teacher in the same school she went to-she loves poetry and literature-she was even the president of the poetry club in high school. She really is a small town girl who is waiting for Mr. Right before she gets involved. Her friend--the phys ed teacher is just about her opposite. She should have kept her mouth shut when she saw that a boy she went to high school with but whose family had come into money was really living it up. Now here is this woman--knows little to nothing about men but thinks she can tell him a thing or two? Her friend gets her to email Celebrity news--on a dare. You see Jen has one little bitsy flaw--she can not resist a dare!! Instead of forwarding the email--Celebrity publishes it!!! That's when the fun begins.
I can't tell you anymore or I will give it up-and we all know I won't do that!! To find out what happens you will just have to pick up this book and read it. And for those of you wondering--yes, I think it would be fine for teens to read this one-after you have read it of course. By the way have some tissues ready at the end--you will need them!"
The highly anticipated BRAND NEW co-written Romance Series, Love on Rockwell Island, from bestselling authors Bella Andre and Melissa Foster released today with the first book CAPE COD KISSES!!
Miki's Hope reviews 'This is contemporary romance with a capital R at it's best'.....
"What a delicious and happy book this was-with a story book ending--I love happy endings!! Of course it does leave you wondering and there is also a tease at the end about the next book in this series by two very good writers who are actually collaborating on writing this series. I, as you know have read I think every single novel Melissa Foster has written--but never read Bella Andre before. If this novel is any indication of how she writes==well--I want more of her books as well. You can not tell this was written by two authors-that is how seamlessly it reads. Yes, there are some steamy scenes--but some extremely emotional ones as well. This is contemporary romance with a capital R at it's best. I could feel these character's as they fell in love at first site but both had issues to over come. I am now looking forward to the next in the series with bated breath. And off I go to see what other novels Bella Andre has written."
Love on Rockwell Island is a Brand New Contemporary Romance Series by New York Times & USA bestselling authors Bella Andre & Melissa Foster.Fall in love on Rockwell Island...Sink your toes into the sandy beaches at the heart of Cape Cod Bay, where family comes first, good friends are around every corner, and true love is waiting beneath the stars.
When Quinn Rockwell left Rockwell Island a decade ago to build a shipping empire, he never thought he’d return to live on Cape Cod Bay—that is, until his grandfather summons Quinn and his four siblings to take over the prestigious Rockwell Resort. Quinn is already working fifteen-hour days, and the last thing he has time for is his grandfather’s demands. But on his first night back, when Quinn finds a gorgeous and carefree woman skinny-dipping in his favorite cove, he’s tempted to ignore his work for a while...and focus on her instead.
As a free spirit who follows her heart and her dreams, Shelley Walters is not the kind of girl to wait around for Mr. Right, so she heads to Rockwell Island for the honeymoon of her dreams—a solo honeymoon. Ready for a week of sun and fun, she never expected to meet a man like Quinn Rockwell.
Wealthy and intensely driven, Quinn is everything Shelley swore she didn’t want. Refreshingly spontaneous and a true romantic, Shelley is everything Quinn never knew he needed. Drawn together despite their differences, during a week of sizzling-hot passion and deep conversations, they fall head over heels for each other. But when their perfect week on the island is over, will their love survive in the real world?

I have to say that at one point in the story I wasn't sure which way the relationship would go.
A story of loss, betrayal, love and hope. Another great read from this wonderful author."

Olympic gold medalist skiers Jayla Stone and Rush Remington have been best friends for years. They've seen each other at their best and worst and have kept each other's secrets without fail. Only there's one secret Rush has kept close to his chest. After months of introspection, Rush realizes he's been filling his bed but not tending to his heart. He's changed his womanizing ways, and the only woman who can fill his heart has been right by his side all this time.
.
Years of intimate conversations and the sharing of hopes and dreams collide when Rush reveals his secret, and one toe-curling kiss changes everything between Rush and Jayla. They're no match for the passion that kiss ignites, or the pull of true love. But being Rush's best friend means knowing all about his revolving bedroom door--and Jayla has a secret of her own that could jeopardize her career and her relationship with Rush. Even their love may not be enough to overcome Rush's past or secure Jayla's future.

BRAND NEW SERIES RELEASE TODAY!!!
Catching Cassidy, the very first book from the NEW Harborside Nights Series by Melissa Foster
"I never thought it was possible but I have fallen in love with Melissa Foster's books even more - this new series, Harborside Nights, has me so excited about all of the books in the series! I am practically dying to get my hands on every one of them!" reviews Lynchburg Mama
"At the time of his life when he's getting ready to step out into the 'real' world for the first time, Wyatt has to face a devastating tragedy that no one ever wants to face - the death of both of his parents. He leans on the one person who has always been there for him through every stage of his life - Cassidy. She's always been just a friend but through this tragedy, Wyatt and Cassidy find that they have an irresistible attraction to one another. Has it always been there or is it just happening in light of the recent events? Regardless, it's impossible for either one of them to fight the urges they feel for one another.
Summer romance is burning hot and full of moments where I found myself blushing but I couldn't put the book down because I wanted to see where their summer love was headed. I desperately wanted it to be 'for real' and not just a summer fling but when it's time to return to the real world and become more than college friends, can Cassidy and Wyatt actually make it work? It's a big adjustment as they are heading into the world of adults and structural living. To know the answer, you'll have to get the book and read for yourself. Trust me, you won't want to put it down either until you get the answer to the burning questions you'll have about this couple.
This is a series that I'll find myself engulfed in from start to finish - it'll leave you breathless, hopeful and wanting more!"

Will the reunion between Quin and Stella lead them to a love that will last a lifetime?
When international investigative reporter Quin Gregory returns home to the small town of Littlemouth, Kansas, to recuperate from injuries sustained on the job, he never imagined that he would go dumpster diving for an injured dog or that his mother would interfere with his love life. She and her zany group of friends called TROUBLE (The Readers Organization Uniting Book-loving Littlemouth Elites) decide to set him up with homebody school teacher, and his childhood love, Stella Goody.
Once he recovers, Quin plans to go right back into the danger, and that’s exactly what Stella Goody is determined to avoid. She loves the challenges of teaching school and the safe life she’s made for herself in Littlemouth. She knows Quin has always been trouble, and the last thing she wants is for him to break her heart again.
Can he convince Stella to risk a chance on love and on him?

New Book Release reviewed!
For Love or Money by Kathy DiSanto - Author "If this book doesn't have you laughing out loud I don't know what will!" reviews Miki's Hope
"Jen Casey who is now a high school English teacher in the same school she went to-she loves poetry and literature-she was even the president of the poetry club in high school. She really is a small town girl who is waiting for Mr. Right before she gets involved. Her friend--the phys ed teacher is just about her opposite. She should have kept her mouth shut when she saw that a boy she went to high school with but whose family had come into money was really living it up. Now here is this woman--knows little to nothing about men but thinks she can tell him a thing or two? Her friend gets her to email Celebrity news--on a dare. You see Jen has one little bitsy flaw--she can not resist a dare!! Instead of forwarding the email--Celebrity publishes it!!! That's when the fun begins.
I can't tell you anymore or I will give it up-and we all know I won't do that!! To find out what happens you will just have to pick up this book and read it. And for those of you wondering--yes, I think it would be fine for teens to read this one-after you have read it of course. By the way have some tissues ready at the end--you will need them!"

The highly anticipated BRAND NEW co-written Romance Series, Love on Rockwell Island, from bestselling authors Bella Andre and Melissa Foster released today with the first book CAPE COD KISSES!!
Miki's Hope reviews 'This is contemporary romance with a capital R at it's best'.....
"What a delicious and happy book this was-with a story book ending--I love happy endings!! Of course it does leave you wondering and there is also a tease at the end about the next book in this series by two very good writers who are actually collaborating on writing this series. I, as you know have read I think every single novel Melissa Foster has written--but never read Bella Andre before. If this novel is any indication of how she writes==well--I want more of her books as well. You can not tell this was written by two authors-that is how seamlessly it reads. Yes, there are some steamy scenes--but some extremely emotional ones as well. This is contemporary romance with a capital R at it's best. I could feel these character's as they fell in love at first site but both had issues to over come. I am now looking forward to the next in the series with bated breath. And off I go to see what other novels Bella Andre has written."

NEW SERIES RELEASE....
Love on Rockwell Island is a Brand New Contemporary Romance Series by New York Times & USA bestselling authors Bella Andre & Melissa Foster.Fall in love on Rockwell Island...Sink your toes into the sandy beaches at the heart of Cape Cod Bay, where family comes first, good friends are around every corner, and true love is waiting beneath the stars.
When Quinn Rockwell left Rockwell Island a decade ago to build a shipping empire, he never thought he’d return to live on Cape Cod Bay—that is, until his grandfather summons Quinn and his four siblings to take over the prestigious Rockwell Resort. Quinn is already working fifteen-hour days, and the last thing he has time for is his grandfather’s demands. But on his first night back, when Quinn finds a gorgeous and carefree woman skinny-dipping in his favorite cove, he’s tempted to ignore his work for a while...and focus on her instead.
As a free spirit who follows her heart and her dreams, Shelley Walters is not the kind of girl to wait around for Mr. Right, so she heads to Rockwell Island for the honeymoon of her dreams—a solo honeymoon. Ready for a week of sun and fun, she never expected to meet a man like Quinn Rockwell.
Wealthy and intensely driven, Quinn is everything Shelley swore she didn’t want. Refreshingly spontaneous and a true romantic, Shelley is everything Quinn never knew he needed. Drawn together despite their differences, during a week of sizzling-hot passion and deep conversations, they fall head over heels for each other. But when their perfect week on the island is over, will their love survive in the real world?
