On Thin Ice by debut author Olivia Belle is perfect for readers looking for:
โ Grumpy xย Sunshine
โ Workplace
โ Forced Proximity
โ Protective MMCโ People Pleasingย FMC
Olivia Belle delivers a debut story about discovering your dreams, familyย expectations, and what happens when theyย donโt align. Itโs time to find out ifย sheโs skating for herself or to avoidย confrontation.
Luca Vasvault is in need of an image rebootย after he becomes the latest headline onย reality tv. Will this derail his dream roleย in a Dirty Dancing film?
A spicy read with a sprinkle of “tie me up tie meย down” when lines blur between fantasy and reality.ย Inspired by Dancing on Ice with Skating with theย Stars vibes this slow burn story is refreshingย and captivating.
Always honest, always my own, and thankful toย Harlequin Trade Publishing for a gifted advanceย e-reader copy.

โ Books, Ice-Cream & Holiday Magic!
It would not be the holidays if we didnโt have a Samantha Chase story filled with meddling parents, second chances, cozy small town vibes, and plenty of hot cocoa.
So…put a few logs on the fire, grab a mug, and get comfy as we return to Lakeview Harbor.
Iโve already downloaded the other two holiday reads from KU in this cozy christmas series from Erin Branscom and June Jule, both new to me authors. If youโre a KU reader grab them before they disappear.
Always honest. Always my own. Thankful to Samantha Chase for a sinfully sweet gifted advance e-arc of Christmas in Lakeview Harbor.
