From USA Today Bestselling Author Jennifer Hartmann, comes a brand new, heartfelt, two-book romance series.
There once was a girl with fireflies in her eyes and music in her soul.
(Remember her… she’s important.)
She’s the reason I panic-bought the little brick house on Maple Street; the one I lived next door to for eight magical years. Now that I’m back digging up floorboards and lost journals, I canโt stop thinking about the two people who grew up here.
You see, that girl was my best friend, and this house was once hers. She also had a big brother who was my everything before circumstance turned us into nothing more than memories.
Thatโs why I applied for a job at his auto shopโunprepared to discover that my new boss, Cal Bishop, is now gruff, built, and covered in tattoos.
I’m the sun to his overcast sky. The smile to his surly solitude.
A reminder of everything he longs to forget.
But my heart has a secret, and weโre running out of time to fix our torn pages.
Maybe… the same girl who used to be the glue still holds the key to putting our pieces back together.
(See? I told you she was important.)
Toodles,
Lucy
Holy Moly! This author and her ability to flay my heart right open with her phenomenally unforgettable stories. Every single one that I read imprints itself on my heart and I find myself thinking back on them often. This story was no exception.
From the moment I started it I was intrigued with the way we started off. It was obvious there is lots of history, and heartbreaking circumstances just waiting to be revealed. The characters immediately capture me like beacons. Both for different reasons. Both still hurting and suffering from what all we just donโt know yet. But what we can tell is that there is definitely a special connection between them, and their reactions to that draw towards each other is completely different.
Lucyโs character made me feel so much. I laughed, I cried, I rooted for her, I hurt for her. Right now, I feel so much for her. Right nowโฆ I am NOT OKAY! Cal is everything I want in my book boyfriend. Heโs gorgeous, heโs tatted, heโs mean yet protective. Heโs all anti-relationship yet possessive AF. Heโs hurt yโall. And hurt people hurt people.
He frustrated me as much as he fascinated me. He could be intimidating, infuriating, but oh so enticing too. He put up this hard exterior but you can see hints of the ooey gooey center beneath. It will just take the right person to get him to expose those parts of himself.
I must warn you, If you are offended by cliffhangers in books then I must urge you to wait until 1/31/23 until both books in the duet are out. But If like me you donโt mind feeling the burn, then jump head first into this duet ASAP!! I need book 2 immediately, I am ready to see what kind of HEA Author Jennifer Hartmann gives us. I just know itโs going to be EPIC!!
Preorder ๐ผ ๐๐๐จ๐จ๐๐ข๐๐จ๐ฉ’๐จ ๐๐ช๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐ค๐ซ๐, Book two, releasing on January 31st!
Jennifer Hartmann resides in northern Illinois with her husband and three children. When she is not writing love stories, she is capturing them through wedding photography with her own personal romance hero. She enjoys sunsets (because mornings are hard), bike riding, traveling, and that time of day when coffee gets replaced by wine. Jennifer loves tacos, and she really, really wants to pet your dog.

Echo Adler hates Reign Davidson. He’s the reason the love of her life left her all alone and broken hearted two years ago.
So it should be easy to stay away.
It should be easy to not dream about his dark and mean eyes, or his cruel but sexy smirks. It should be easy to not think about the guy who ruined her happily ever after.
Only it’s not.
Sometimes his intense stares make her heart race, and those smirks of his make her breathless.
But it needs to stop.
Because she has a mission: to get back together with her ex-boyfriend. And Echo will be damned if she keeps dreaming about Reign.
The guy who not only makes her sick with hate but who also happens to be her ex’s best friend.
NOTE: This is a standalone set in the world of St. Maryโs.
Saffron A. Kent has done it again. She just has this special gift with her writing to immediately suck me into her stories. Her characters will undoubtedly snatch me up by my heartstrings in a fisted grip and I know they will put me through the wringer over and over before all will be said and done. OMG! This book Yโall. From the moment I cracked it I was immersed, I was obsessed. I was instantly ADDICTED!!
It doesnโt get better than enemies-to-lovers, but add in that heโs the ex-boyfriends best friend. WOW!! The drama, angst and forbiddenness that it adds to this. Yes please!
Echo is the sweetest. She is beautiful and just good as gold. Like most of this author’s heroines sheโs a bit quirky, adorably so. I love her. ๐ฅฐ
Reign has always had a thing for Echo but really never really thought he deserved her. So when his best friend took a liking to her as well he stepped aside and let who he thought โwas the better manโ go for her.
This book is such a rollercoaster of emotions. I went from my heart all a flutter, to furious, to fanning myself because itโs freaking HAWT! ๐ฅ Then I was swooning, swearinโ, and shouting hot mess. This book had me feelings every emotion. All the thighs. Even at my lowest points in the book I wouldnโt trade a second.
This is probably my FAVORITE of the series. Just Phenomenal, Fantastic, Terrifically Unforgettable. Fifth and final standalone book in the St. Maryโs Rebels is not to be missed. I highly recommend the entire series but you absolutely cannot miss this one. I cannot wait for the spin-off series coming soon. FIVE Favorite in Series Stars โญ๏ธโจโญ๏ธโจโญ๏ธโจโญ๏ธโจโญ๏ธโจ
I have to, because I finally have something to live for.
When I first saw those two pink lines, it was a blow that stung harder than any slap or punch ever could. I was devastated. Iโm not sure Iโm fit to be a mother, but Iโm damn sure going to protect this child from the monster down the hall. He will never know it existsโฆ he will never lay one finger on my baby. Not ever.
Some might think the life growing inside of me would be a reminder of all Iโve lostโof all of the pain Iโve endured, the hurt, and the terror. And in a way, theyโre right, but it also gives me hope. Now I have somethingโsomeoneโto fight for.
Anxiously, Nora

Dear Diary,
I hope this finds you in timeโthat you can help me, that you believe me.
Please believe me…
I had to run sooner than plannedโฆ heโs too unpredictable. I canโt take any unnecessary risks, not anymore, not when I have so much to lose.
Itโs funny, I used to want to die, for him to hit me so hard I would never wake up, but now? Now I want to live. I have to live.
If youโre reading this still, look for me in the place where the lake meets the shore. Iโll wait for you as long as possible. I understand if you canโt come, or if you donโt want to… but I really hope you do.

Holy Darkness Yโall! Author Charity Ferrell went down a totally different and mesmerizingly unexpected road than what she has previously taken us down before, and I was there for every dark and deliciously twisted moment of it.
Natalia finds herself desperate. Her recent life choices have put her life in jeopardy. Fear has led her to the doorstep of her BFFโs father, a gorgeous and dangerous leader of the Mafia who she knows can offer her protection, but It comes with a price. A STEEP price.
Cristian Marchetti is everything youโd expect from a mob boss and more. Heโs possessive, dominating, and certainly doesnโt take crap from anyone. EVER. Until he gets a challenge practically served up on a silver platter. Sassy little sweet Natalia, couldnโt have know what she was in for when she went to Cristian for help, but he was equally blown away but the feelings she brought out in him.
This back and forth banter filled ride was entertaining and engaging, quickly sucking me into this new series, The Marchetti Mafia. I’m already counting the days until we get Bennyโs story. Iโm already amazed by the details and development the author put into this dark and new world sheโs taken on. What a departure from her previous works and what a great job she did with it. I cannot wait for more. Told in alternating dual POV, Cristian and Nataliaโs story has so many of my favorite things. Here are just a few reasons why you MUST read this. โ๏ธ

Heโs experienced, his heated hazel eyes promising sinful skills in seduction, and I want him to teach me all he knows.
Lesson by lesson.
Night after night.
The problem?
He says he wonโt allow me in his bed โฆ but I wonder what it would take to get him to play in mine a bit?

I am absolutely destroyed at the moment. This book gutted me. I wasnโt quite sure what I was going to get when I started. As this is A- my first read by this author so Iโm unfamiliar with her style, which I am discovering is a tragedy in itself because OMG where has Author Brit Benson been in my life the last few years?! And B- because other than the blurb that TBH I read a while back when I signed up to read this, I went in blind not really knowing too much of what to expect. Which turned out to be the way to go anyway.
Blind is best yโall. My recommended way to go, always. Now, I had my assumptions based upon said blurb, butโฆ You know what they say about assumptions and all!ย Blurb had me thinking โ okay, this is going to be the whole โgood girl falls for an anti-hero thatโs going to grow on us.โ and I can totally get on board with a good โol enemies to lovers any day of the week and twice on Sundayโs. I mean it was an enemies to lovers, and this book does take place in high school, but these were anything but your typical high school sweethearts. This book was unlike ANYTHING I have ever read. Original storyline with phenomenally written, flawed characters gave us an engaging and gripping story. Aย gritty and realness that is sure to leave you emotionally raw long after the cliffy at the end leaves you breathless. I know it did me.ย
From the very beginning I fell for Macon hook, line, and sinker. Heโs so tantalizingly toxic, and I should be ashamed that Iโm so twisted because I die harder for the toxic ones. But Iโm not even a little ashamed.ย Yes, he was definitely cruel at times, he was messed up, he was for sure trouble with a capital T. But he was also misunderstood, he was damaged, he was broken, self destructive,ย hurt, and he was so much more than what people saw him for. It wasnโt just the way people saw him, it was the way he saw himself.
He just made me feel everything. I wanted to simultaneously hit him upside his head to knock some sense into him and pull him to me and just hug him and heal all his hurts. He broke my heart, he melted my heart, he made me hot. Holy Hot Hell ๐ฅ๐ถ๐ฅ๐ถ did he ever make me hot. The ones withย the bad egg rep yโall, Iโm telling you. They just do it for me. What is wrong with me? In real life my hubby is as straight-laced as they come.ย Lol That’s probably why I like my fictional fellas fully fubarโd! (Not completely. I do want him redeemable)ย ย
Lennon is amazing. Sheโs got a heart of gold, she is who she is and sheโs comfortable with herself. She is creative, a rule follower, and selfless friend. Honestly she gets the short end of the stick sometimes because with most of the people in her life she doesnโt stand up for herselfโฆexcept with Macon. He seems to be the person in the world who can get her the most fired up. The way they verbally spar. He brings out this lively feisty spirited side to her that no one else sees. I can feelย how she finds herself struggling with her feelings for him, it practically jumps off the pages. She is at war with everything. The things he does, the way he treats her, the things others have to say about the kind of person he is. It all weighs heavily on her mind.
But things start to happen and she finds herself around him more and more and she sees glimpses that there is so much more to him. All of these discoveries are breaking down her walls. However the more walls they tear down, the more life seems to throw back up in their way. I just connected with her character so deeply. The writer did such an amazing job I was so invested and emotional I had to take moments and remind myself that I wasnโt actually there. I didnโt need to throw down with anyone in real life to stand up for some injustice that was being done to my girl. I mean I could chuck my kindle, and almost did several times. I could cry, which I absolutely did. A lot. I could cuss, did that as well. But at the end of that chapter I pressed on. Until press on I could no moreโฆand now we wait.ย ย
My angsty frustration level is at an all time high. The tension between them is palpable. I live for the kind of rush this book was giving me. This book is a catastrophic collision of every emotion under the sun. Past trauma, damaged hearts, addiction, forbidden love, secrets, mistakes, lies and betrayal rips through their lives. Told in dual alternating POV, book one in the Next Live Duet will leave you grasping the edge of your seat, tears in your eyes, wanting to IM the author immediately to demand book two, before I die of impatience. Can one actually die of impatience? I feel like I just might. But in all actuality this book is fantastic. While it is full of sensitive content. It is beautifully written, the parallels to real life make it tragically devastating especially given where it has left us at this point. I am also filled with a smidge of hope. Deep in my core I believe in true love and I believe these two are inevitable soul mates. But I think they ( and us readers) will be put through a gut-wrenching journey, the likes of one which we wonโt recover from immediately( because these characters have already captured our hearts.)

โญ๏ธStar Rating~โญ๏ธโจโญ๏ธโจโญ๏ธโจโญ๏ธโจโญ๏ธโจโญ๏ธโจ~Six, I will probably never emotionally recover from this duet if book one is anything to go by, STARS!!
๐ญOverall Thoughts~ I am so happy I took a chance on this book and this new to me author as it will most definitely go down as one of my TOP READS of 2022! My only regret is that I am just now discovering this authorโs work. I plan to quickly devour as much of her back list ASAP. I will be counting down the days until book two. Iโm probably not ready for what Ms. Benson is going to do to my poor heart. But I canโt survive without knowing where we are going from here. I highly recommend EVERYONE take a chance on this author and The Love Of My Next Life. As for meโฆ I will never be the same.ย
โ ๏ธTRIGGERS~This book has some content that could be disturbing to some readers. Elements of child abuse, unaliving oneself, Death, addiction, mental illness. If you would like more specific information feel free to PM me for more specific details.ย ย ย ย
๐ถ HEAT~ ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ Definitely Hot. Had tension and lots of great โBanter OโHate.โ The buildup was worth the wait. I canโt wait to see the spice level in book 2 since I imagine the them to be older in that book.ย ย
๐ฅฐ HEA/CLIFFY๐งโโ๏ธ~HUGE CLIFFHANGER– This book is book ONE of TWO. You will not get a resolution to this coupleโs story in this book. You will get a shocker and then an abrupt ending to keep you hanging! Thankfully book two is set to release in October 2022. Until then Happy Reading My Friends!ย

BB Easton has revealed the cover for Devil of Dublin!
Releasing: September 27, 2022
Cover designer: Damonza
Photographer: Regina Wamba
Cover Model: Jered Sternaman
From the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of 44 Chapters About 4 Men (inspiration for the Netflix Original series Sex/Life) comes a dark mafia romance steeped in Irish folklore.
I can’t remember anymore if my grandfather’s eyes were blue or green, but I’ll never forget the way they wrinkled at the corners when he laughed at one of his own jokes. Or the way they sparkled with mischief when he told me tales about the magical creatures that dwelled in the forest behind his humble Irish sheep farmโshy fairies who liked to eat tea biscuits, cruel witches who liked to eat children, a moody lake spirit with a taste for expensive gifts.
As a child, I believed every fantastical word. But when he warned me about the mute boy who also lurked in those woods, the one the priest had declared to be the spawn of Satan himself, I refused to listen. Kellen wasn’t evil. He was kind, and beautiful, and special, and hurting. He was my friend. And with every summer I spent stolen away with him in those enchanted woods, he grew to become so much more.
But when I return to Glenshire as an adult, grieving and engaged to someone else, all those legends quickly morph into nightmares.
My grandfather had been right about everything, especially the boy.
If only I had listened.
WARNING: If you are a sensitive reader or find certain subject matter triggering, please exercise self-care and select a different book. Devil of Dublin is a dark romance, intended for mature audiences who enjoy high emotional intensity, explicit adult content, graphic violence, heart-pounding suspense, fairy-tale worthy love, and gorgeous Irish scenery. If that sounds like you, then … welcome to Glenshire!
Wall Street Journal bestselling author BB Easton lives in the suburbs of Atlanta with her long-suffering husband, Ken, and two adorable children. A few years ago, she quit her job as a school psychologist to write books about her punk rock past and deviant sexual history full-time. Ken wasnโt super excited about that, but now that heโs appeared in three of her books and inspired a TV show character, heโs incredibly supportive.
BBโs debut memoir, 44 Chapters About 4 Men, went on to inspire the Netflix original series, Sex/Life, which was viewed by 67 million households worldwide within the first month making it the 3rd most-watched Netflix original series of all time. Because she had so much fun writing 44 Chapters, BB went on to publish four more wickedly funny, shockingly steamy, and heartwarmingly autobiographical books, one for each man in her memoirโSkin, Speed, Star, and Suit.
The Rain Trilogyโa dark, immersive, end-of-the-world romanceโwas BBโs first work of fiction. Or at least, thatโs what she thought when she wrote it in 2019. Then, 2020 hit, and all of her dystopian plot points started coming true. Hoping to fix everything, BB returned with a fun, feel-good romantic comedy called Group Therapy, but alas, the world is still on fire โฆ and so is BBโs desire to write intense, us-against-the-world romances. Her next release,Devil of Dublin, isa dark Irish mafia romance steeped in folklore and family secrets.
You can find BB procrastinating in all of the following places:
