But I’m not a Barnett.
I don’t need someone else’s family legacy to help me find my woman, because I already know exactly who she
is.
My best friend is everything I’ve ever wanted, but she’s put me firmly in the friend-zone and I have no idea how to
get out of it.
I refuse to force her to want me, but maybe she just needs a little push to realize she already belongs to me.
Bringing her to Rockhead Point where the normal rules don’t apply seemed like the perfect idea, but once she
gets to town she feels even more out of reach.
When it looks like friends might be all we’ll ever be, I open a door and change everything.
Day and night become separate worlds for us, but I’ll stop at nothing until she’s mine twenty-four seven.
Forget the Barnett family legacy. Now, it’s all about the myth of the Montana Mountain Protectors.]]> 293 Gemma Weir K.J. 0 to-read 3.97 Smoulder (Montana Mountain Protectors #4)

]]> <![CDATA[The Truth That Frees (Lies and Truths #2)]]> 205570450 I’ve never believed that. Because the truth doesn’t free you, it just exposes you.
I hid behind a life full of lies for years. I did what I was told, what was expected of me. I was
perfect, poised, and obedient.
Until I wasn’t�
One boy and a simple act was all it took to destroy my entire world.
I know I’m a monster; but he calls me his princess.
Only, I’m the villain in this story and villains don’t get a happily ever after.
But what happens when the hero refuses to accept that?
Maybe the truth will set me free after all�

But I’m not a Barnett.
I don’t believe in love at first sight, and I’m not interested in finding my forever.
Until my past invades my present.
I hated her from the moment I met her, but when she steps foot in my town, it only takes seconds to know she’s
absolutely and unquestionably mine.
My heart, body, and soul screams we’re meant to be, but she’s convinced that our past is too tawdry for us to be
anything more than ancient history.
Vows, lies, and promises convince her to take a chance on us, but just when we’re on the precipice of happiness,
shadows of our toxic past come back to haunt us.
But I won’t give her up. I’ll fight every one of her demons and make up for every hurt I’ve caused her, because
letting her go isn’t an option.

But I’m Evan Morris, the Prince, the heir, the monster; and I ruin everything I touch.

So, I looked, but never allowed myself to claim; because I refuse to ruin her.

Sammy Hartley is the very best of us. She’s brave, strong, wild and free.

She’s everything I’ll never allow myself to own.

I’ve done so many bad things, that loving her and never having her was supposed to be my penance.

Only now my wild one is running, scared that she’s not truly one of us.

Even though I knew it’d kill me, I was willing to let her go.

But then the last person I’d ever expect, offered me carte blanche to become a monster.

They begged me to do whatever it took to bring Sammy home and cage her with my love.

But I don’t need a cage to capture my woman. I’ll entwine her with chains so fine she won’t feel them until they pull tight.

And by the time she knows she’s trapped; escaping will be the last thing on her mind.]]> 0 Gemma Weir K.J. 0 to-read 4.00 Oblivion (Alphaholes, #4)

]]> Obliterate (Alphaholes, #3) 209814385
When our eyes met across a crowded room, I recognized her. The most familiar stranger I’ve
ever seen. It doesn’t matter who she is, or where she came from, because I know exactly where
she belongs—with me.

She’s beautiful, perfect, and apparently already taken. But I won’t let something as
inconsequential as a boyfriend stop me from claiming her.

I’m Hunter Rossberg, a king among men and the calm voice of reason in our little band of
psychos; or that’s who I used to be. Now I’m just as obsessed as them, consumed by forbidden
fruit and willing to do whatever it takes to make her my wife.

I’ll lie, coerce, manipulate, and blackmail her until she’s tied to me so tightly, she’ll never get free.

But the truth never stays hidden for long and when she finds out everything I’ve done she
vanishes from my life.

My Little Rabbit has run from me, but it’ll take more than distance to break the chains that hold us
together, and I’m willing to obliterate the world to get her back.]]> Gemma Weir K.J. 0 to-read 3.49 Obliterate (Alphaholes, #3)

But I’m not a Barnett.

Instead of searching for my ‘one�, I’m dealing with a nightmare ex and being forced to move in with my new sister-in-law’s bestie—the most annoying woman I’ve ever met.

She’s permanently happy, she talks constantly, and I can’t stand her.

So why can’t I stop kissing her?

One touch and I know we’re meant to be, but it turns out she’s less impressed with my grumpy than I am with her sunshine.

Convincing her she’s mine means resorting to drastic measures, but I’m up for the challenge.

But I’m not a Barnett.

I’m not destined, or cursed to fall in love at first sight.

So why when she walks in the room, do I feel the sudden urge to claim a woman I don’t know, as mine?

With her, I need to control, to possess and own.

Letting her go, isn’t an option.

But sometimes family ties are stronger than new love and someone who should have stayed in the past is trying to ruin our future.

Lies, mistakes, and doubts challenge us, but she gifted me her and I’ll never give her back.

Turns out the Barnetts aren’t the only alpha males in town, hold on tight, because it’s time to meet the Montana Mountain Protectors.]]> 331 Gemma Weir K.J. 0 to-read 4.10 Blaze (Montana Mountain Protectors #1)

]]> Obligation (Alphaholes, #2) 83816043
As soon as I saw her, I knew exactly who she was. A snake, born with venom in her blood and poison in her veins.

I’m Clay Jansen, a king among men. But wearing the crown means dealing with the duty and expectation that’s been mine since birth.

January Burke is nothing more than an obligation; a business deal that was sealed with vows not contracts.

But my poisonous new bride is a snake, bred from a den of vipers.

Family expectation might have forced me to entwine my life with hers, but I won’t be taken in by the good girl façade she’s wearing.

So I watch her. Play with her until I know every move she makes, and every word she says. But once I see her, it’s impossible to look away.

Freedom is all she craves and the only thing I can’t give her.

I should let her go, but I couldn’t if I tried.

I'm only in Rockhead Point to get to know my sister. I have a boyfriend, a job and a life, hours away from this tiny mountain town.



Only the more time I spend with the Barnetts; the more I see that their world is full of the type of love I thought only existed in films; and seeing it is making me wonder if my happy ever after, is really as happy as I thought it is.



When betrayal leaves me heartbroken and questioning everything, Cody stays at my side, ready to be my rock, my shoulder to cry on and so much more. He's determined to offer me all the colors in the rainbow, but I'm not looking for a fling, and that's all that we can be.



So, I run. Away from my sister, away from her new family and away from the man who says I'm his.



But it doesn't matter how fast I run, because fate will still catch me and right now it's knocking on my door. It turns out Cody isn't prepared to give me up, and no matter how hard I fight him, I'm not sure I can escape the love of a mountain man.]]> 323 Gemma Weir K.J. 0 to-read 4.13 Loving the Mountain Man (Montana Mountain Men, #7)

]]> Obsession (Alphaholes, #1) 60743579
As soon as I realized she existed, I lost the ability to look away. She was always destined to be mine.

I’m Sebastian Lockwood; a king among men. And kings get to take what they want.

My little bird disagreed.

She fought me, disobeyed me even though we both know she belongs to me.

So I broke her, bent her to my will.

I pushed too hard, loved too much and she ran from me.

But letting her go was impossible. So I chased; hiding in the shadows, silently pulling the strings that would bind her to me.

Two years have passed, I’ve waited long enough. It’s time to reclaim my queen; to take what’s mine.

The trap is set, a gilded cage worthy of royalty and only I have the key.

I’ll make her pay for leaving me. I’ll make her love me, want me as much as I do her.

I couldn’t stop if I tried.

She’s my obsession.

He can stalk me, he can try to seduce me, but what he’s forgotten is that he’s not the only gorgeous man in town.

He's determined.

Fate brought them together.
Love binds them.

Johnny Kavanagh has everything going for him. On the rugby pitch, he's a force to be reckoned with. Primed for stardom, he's heading straight for the top. Nothing can possibly get in his way, right?
Not even the shy new girl at Tommen College. The one with the sad eyes and hidden bruises. The one that distracts him like no one ever has.
Plagued with a hidden injury and desperate to impress the scouts watching his every move, Johnny has been placed on a pedestal so high, he has no room to make mistakes.
Striving to maintain balance, and on the crest of the International Summer Campaign, Johnny needs to keep his head in the game. He needs to stay focused, and cannot afford to let distractions get in the way of the bigger picture.
But what happens when a lonely girl with sad eyes becomes the only picture?

]]> Taming 7 (Boys of Tommen, #5) 195963587
Tommen's cheeky lad, Gerard 'Gibsie' Gibson, is a comedian at heart, but underneath his happy-go-lucky-nature lurks a broken boy, tortured by the events of his past. Using humour to cope with his demons, Gibsie hides everything from the world.

Only one person knows who he truly is on the inside. His friend's little sister. His Claire-bear.

Enveloped in sunshine, Claire Biggs, has spent her whole life adoring the boy across the street. Her brother's friend. Seeing a side to Gerard that no one else sees, Claire is determined to tame her wild-at-heart childhood best friend.

But when the unexpected occurs and lines are crossed, will Gibsie and Claire's friendship survive? Will it blossom into something more, or will they lose themselves in the riptide?]]> 752 Chloe Walsh 0349439362 K.J. 0 to-read 4.40 2024 Taming 7 (Boys of Tommen, #5)

]]> <![CDATA[Cold Hearted Casanova (Cruel Castaways, #3)]]> 86505855
Riggs Bates may be a billionaire, but he knows money can’t buy happiness. He keeps his financial status a secret and takes his women the same way he takes his meals—a different one three times a day. That’s until he’s caught sleeping with a married newswoman by none other than her ambitious assistant.

Daphne “Duffy� Markham wants two things in life: marry well and stay in the States. So when her almost-fiancé takes off to “find himself� and her work visa approaches expiration, Duffy resorts to the only thing she has left—blackmail. Luckily, Riggs needs an excuse to stay in New York as badly as she does, so their first meeting quickly leads to a begrudging engagement.

Armed with strict house rules and their mutual distaste for one another, Riggs and Duffy soon find there’s no denying the spark between them…or the fact that this fake marriage is starting to feel a little too real.]]> 422 L.J.

'Bound not by blood but loyalty.
We live, we ride, and we die

Being President isn’t easy.
I’ve loved.
I’ve lost.
But through it all I’ve always had my club.

We’ve gone through hell and come out fighting.
Relied on each other and never gave up hope.

Now, our biggest threat of all is closing in.
Mistakes I made in the past are coming back to haunt me
And wounds that are healed are being torn open.

When my club, and brothers, are in danger of losing everything we’ve fought for it’s my duty to be the leader they deserve.

]]> Disaster-in-Waiting 46030337
Eloise Ross is married to Michael, her much older and recently retired husband. He fills his days with golf and walking the dog, while she fills her days working as a newly appointed P.A. to the CEO of an international company.

One night, disillusioned with her sexless marriage she goes out alone, drinks beer and dances with a handsome stranger. The moves on the dance floor quickly lead to passion and excitement like El has never known, but it was only one night, one time. Just that once couldn't mean anything, could it?

That once changed her view on everything she'd ever thought she'd known or valued; her home, family, responsibilities, husband and marriage, but most of all herself.

As her life unravels, with twists and turns that make her laugh, cry and despair, El has only one constant to hang onto, her handsome stranger. However, with destiny intent on throwing them together, he becomes less and less of a stranger.

With her inability to escape him and the feelings and thoughts he evokes in her spiralling out of control, her life takes on a route paved with lies, secrets and discoveries where the only destination is likely to be heartbreak and disaster.

]]> For the Love of Music 62817515 Music used to be what she lived for.

Now, it may be the thing that kills her.

Emily Dawson has been running since she was sixteen years old.

From pain. Abuse. From the memories entwined with the notes that used to inspire her.

But no matter how far she goes, her past is always lurking, waiting, ready to attack.

She’s trapped in the melody that haunts her dreams and waking hours.

Music is dead to her. So why can’t she seem to walk away?


Music is all he has.

Now, it may be the thing that causes him to lose everything.

Mark Pierce hasn’t stayed in one place since age fifteen.

Violin prodigy. Teenage classical music superstar. World tours.

Over a decade of being on the road, Mark seizes an opportunity for change, having no idea how he’ll survive it.

Then he meets Emily, and hope ignites in his chest.

Maybe the only thing he’s needed to plant roots is her.


There’s so much more to Emily than meets the eye. A darkness surrounds her, snuffing out her light every time it dares to shine through.

Mark is determined to piece together the broken melody inside Emily’s soul.

Will Emily be able to confront her demons and surrender to Mark’s love, or will the darkness win, killing his gift of life-giving music?

I returned to Manitou Springs to do the right thing.

Riley Hayes wears an armor of discontentment.
She’s feisty, rude and seems determined to fight against us.

What she hasn’t figured out yet, is that the only battle she has to win is the one in her head.

I can’t risk falling for her,
She’s too young, and too broken.
But despite all the voices in my head telling me I shouldn’t.
I can’t help wanting to be the one to fix her.
