Welcome to the tour for Justice: A Love Story by Nicole Sallak Anderson! Watch for Grace coming this May!
Justice (Justice & Grace Part 1)
Release Date: March 25, 2026
Genre: Contemporary Romance
On Halloween 1992, during a huge party at his fraternity, Justy Sloan literally stumbles into Grace Van Orden, meeting the girl of his dreams.
Unfortunately for him, Grace, a junior in computer science, has a handsome study buddy and best friend named Erik, and the chemistry between them is undeniable. Add to the equation Justy’s dark past with Grace’s roommate, Kat, plus the fact he’s about to graduate, and his dream girl feels completely out of reach.
Ditching his usual caution when it comes to love, Justy pursues Grace, setting off a series of events that will alter the futures of everyone involved.
Justice is a romance about twenty-somethings stumbling their way through the highs and lows of first loves, an ode to Chicago, a tribute to Gen X, and a celebration of the 1990s, one of the best decades for coming of age.

One of four sacred relics lies hidden in the skies… and a malevolent darkness hunts her every step.
Branded a traitor to Atlantis, Asherah Delmar—the goddess’s chosen—must flee through the Bermuda Triangle to the realm of Airelandia, a queendom lost to time and space. On her mission to recover the goddess’s next artifact before she’s forced to reveal the truth of what she is, she must risk every soul depending on her to succeed, and the one she’d burn the world to protect.
Dark forces move to exploit her bondmate, Draevyn Eliron—her greatest strength and deepest vulnerability. Queen Leanah offers sanctuary, but in a realm woven with illusion, even peace proves fleeting. Asherah soon discovers that the evil she thought she escaped has already taken root in Airelandia’s skies.
When vengeance comes for her, Asherah must wield her conviction and her fury, or watch the light of her world vanish with the Queendom itself.
The Vanished Queendom is the third book in The Heir of Atlantis series and is intended for readers 18+. It is recommended to start with The Veiled Heir (The Heir of Atlantis, Book One).

Book Description:
A demon is loose in the human world, and if it finds Locklyn’s twin sister, Haven, it won’t just kill her. It will steal her power and use it to destroy everything.
I’ve never met Haven, but that doesn’t matter. Finding her before the demon does is the only thing that matters. If I fail, Locklyn loses her sister, and the human and creature worlds may not survive what comes next.
Protecting Haven should be simple: keep her hidden, keep her alive, and don’t let her get under my skin. But she isn’t what I expected. She’s stronger than she looks and the more time I spend with her, the harder it becomes to remember she’s supposed to be a mission, not a temptation.
With the demon closing in and the fate of the world hanging in the balance, I’ll do whatever it takes to keep Haven safe.
Even if it destroys me first.
The games are over. The kingdoms are falling. And chaos is ready to claim its queen.

Creatures of Chaos is a fast-paced urban fantasy series that’s being called The Serpent and the Wings of Night meets Crave and is perfect for fans of forbidden love, high-stakes games, and everything supernatural.
“Fucking Fox was unlike anything I’d ever experienced. The shadows of the car wrapped around me, through me, surrounding every nerve with heat and motion.
I knew how to drive him, and Fox clearly knew how to drive me crazy.”
Buying a 1992 Mustang was a stupid idea, and Al knew it, but he had loved that car from the very first moment he’d laid eyes on him. He’d never expected that the car would love him back, until a dark, shadowy figure appeared in the passenger seat beside him, eager to show Al his gratitude. Al’s new car, Fox is a jealous, possessive, powerful machine that adores his new owner and will happily distract Al from his driving, but when the two are forced apart, both will have to make sacrifices before they can be reunited.
My thoughts: Ummmm…. so yeah, he does have sex with the spirit of the car but not the actual physical car, which I think is useful to know. Clearly inspired by Stephen King’s Christine (the sentient car bit but not murdering bit), but with sexy times in the driver and passenger seats, and then some.
This novella is a bit strange, but I can see that it might appeal to some. There’s some fantasy elements, and the back story could do with more explaining as it was interesting but the focus was on the relationship between Fox (the car) and Al.
I thought it was an interesting premise, and bits of it were quite funny, especially the antagonistic friendship between Al and Lui, but I don’t fully get the attraction between a man and his car – probably because I don’t drive, but then I also think the woman who married the Eiffel Tower is a bit strange.

She’s his bestie. He’s her rock. And now? They’re accidentally engaged.
Juniper runs the village apothecary, and Granik grows lavender on his farm. These two plant lovers have always had each other’s backs. When orcish custom demands Granik get married, Juniper does the only logical thing to save her best friend: she proposes a fake engagement. Brilliant plan, right? The only trouble is that in orcish customs, engagements are binding and there’s no such thing as fake. Now they have to find their way out of a major mess. That proves harder than anticipated when Granik’s family comes to celebrate the spring Greening festival. Juniper and Granik must convince everyone they’re madly in love. But the longer they pretend to be a couple, the harder it becomes to remember why they were faking it in the first place.
Must Love Lavender and Little Lies is a spicy cozy fantasy romance full of farmcore vibes, gentle magic, mischievous shrieking goats, and a love story that will warm your heart.
Must Love Lavender and Little Lies is book 3 in the enchanting Moonshine Hollow series. Each novel in the series can be read as a standalone. Different couples and storylines
Perfect for lovers of wholesome spice and cozy romantasy! Fans of Kimberly Lemming, Heather Fawcett, J Penner, and Tee Harlowe will devour this perfectly cozy and deliciously passionate tale of magic, friendship, and learning what you really want in life.
My thoughts: This is another cute fantasy romance in the Moonshine Hollow series, this time with a fake relationship trope.
Orc Granik must pick a wife in this, his thirtieth year, or his family will arrange one for him. His best friend Juniper offers to help him out by playing the role of his fiancée, and they’ll call the whole thing off after a while. Until they learn that orc custom means ending an engagement would bring shame on the whole family.
And then Granik’s entire family come to visit and now they’re planning a wedding, for this Saturday. What are they going to do?
Everyone thinks they’d be perfect for each other but in true rom com When Harry Met Sally style, they can’t see what’s right in front of them. With a meddling grandmother and friends who are determined to give them a magical wedding, perhaps it might be time to admit their true feelings?
Cute, funny and romantic, this is charming and has delightful characters and a sweet little puppy, magic cows and screaming goats too.
Kilmara, Scotland. 1725. For fifty years, Iris has accepted the curse that blighted her life. By night, she is a heartbroken woman, destined to walk the misty shores of Kilmara without growing older. By day, she is Moireach, a terrifying monster imprisoned in the murky depths of Loch Moine. When bodies begin appearing on the shore, the villagers are convinced Moireach is responsible.
So a hunter – the rugged, ruthless Henry Carver – is summoned to slay the monster of the loch. Iris must break her curse before she is killed for crimes she cannot believe she has committed. But as Kilmara’s hunt for the monster becomes ever more fevered, she and Henry are drawn together in a dangerous game of impossible attraction. And when a figure from Iris’s past suddenly reappears, she must choose what – or who – she is willing to sacrifice to win her freedom…when you are the monster.
Rebecca Templeton has had a love of books from a very early age and had lofty childhood aspirations of being a writer, though she ended up joining the legal profession instead. When her husband encouraged her to start writing again, she rediscovered her creative outlet and hasn’t looked back since.
When not writing or working, Rebecca can usually be found crocheting giant blankets, baking or watching Gilmore Girls. She is also owned by a couple of very energetic children.
My thoughts: This blends a retelling of the Little Mermaid with elements of Scottish folklore, Beauty & the Beast, Snow White, and other fairy tales.
Iris is cursed to spend her days as Moireach, a terrifying creature that dwells in the loch, and her night’s hiding from the villagers, who don’t know about her secret. They most likely think she’s long dead. She wants to break the curse, but doesn’t know how. Her only friend is Duncan, her childhood friend now grown old.
When bodies start being found around the loch, a monster hunter is summoned to rid the village of its murderous creature. Only Iris doesn’t think she is the killer. And soon, neither does the hunter, Henry Carver.
After Iris saves his life, and they meet, there’s an instant connection. Can they defy the odds, break the curse and solve the murders?
It’s a really interesting blend of fantasy, fairy tale and folklore, there’s hints of lots of different stories, and Iris is an interesting protagonist, she’s smart about certain things, but naive in other ways. Duncan is her only contact and friend, she isn’t aware of much that has happened since she was cursed, he controls her access to information and news, and manipulates her.
Her relationship with Henry gives her hope after a long time and refuels her desire to break her curse, causing her to return to the village for the first time in fifty years and search for answers, breaking free of the secrets she has been carrying for so long.
It’s interesting to have the woman as the monster – although I don’t think Moireach is really a monster, she’s just trying to survive in a world not designed for her, fighting against nasty kelpies in the loch and the ignorance of villagers who would destroy her.

Stella arrives in her mother’s homeland, Myera, a realm of unfamiliar creatures, magical lands, and values that challenge her core beliefs. Nothing could have prepared her for the responsibility of her mother’s legacy. With a long history of tension rising and a civil war on the horizon, Stella is forced into her role as the Starheart to heal old wounds.
Navigating a treacherous web of politics and power as the realm begins to fracture, Stella must be a pillar of strength and stability even as she quietly unravels beneath the weight of her own unmet expectations. But the greatest challenge doesn’t lie within her.
At the centre of the unrest stands Noxryn.
Caught between clashing wills and pride, Stella faces something far more dangerous than failing—the possibility of understanding the man who betrayed her and the one responsible for the chaos threatening to consume the realm. Taking off Noxryn’s mask might offer answers to bring peace, or which lures both her and Myera into a darkness there’s no coming back from.
The Starheart Saga is perfect for fans of unique magic systems, mythical creatures, angst and tension, and hilarious banter. Nightwither will appeal to fans of plot-heavy, character-driven fantasy and enemies-to-lovers romance.
1917 – At Cambridge University, American scholar Harry Turchin never expects to lose himself to desire. But Annie Mackenzie—soft-spoken, grieving, and luminous—claims his heart from their very first kiss. Their love is swift, fierce, and intoxicating. Married just days before Harry is sent to war, their passion is ripped apart when the trenches claim everything he knows, and Harry is thrown into a future that should not exist.
1967 – The free-spirited sixties are alive with rhythm, rebellion, and possibility. Harry awakens to a world he doesn’t recognise—and to Annalise Taylor, as bold and captivating as the era itself. Brilliant, independent, and achingly alive, she rouses a desire he thought belonged solely to the past.
Caught between the love he was ripped away from and the passion he cannot resist, Harry is torn between two women, two lives, and two versions of forever. Because time will not bend twice … Or will it?
Sweeping from the blood-soaked battlefields of World War One to the fevered nights of the swinging sixties, No More Tomorrows is a sensual time-slip romance about desire, devotion, and the devastating power of love that refuses to be bound by time.
Olivia Lockhart (Livvie to her friends) is an English author who can’t quite decide if she wants to write contemporary romance, historical romance, or paranormal romance. So she writes them all, because it HAS to be romance!
She loves to write about the underdog, the one who got away, the bits of love stories we can all relate to.
When not writing she can be found drinking wine, cuddling with her beloved pooch, or with her head in a book.

My thoughts: When Harry wakes up in a field in France in 1967, despite having been on the battlefield in 1918, he’s utterly bewildered. He’s horrified by the fact his sweet wife, Annie, won’t have known what happened to him and that fifty years have passed.
Nursed back to health by a kindly French couple, he then makes his way back to England, hoping to find a trace of his family. Instead he meets physics student Annalise, who takes him in and helps him get sorted out. She believes his story and wants to help him, even as she falls for him.
It’s a bittersweet love affair, Harry determines that he must live in the present, not worry about what might have been. But Annalise fears he is forever comparing her with his lost love and really longs for the life he never got to live.
I really liked Harry and Annalise, and their lovely dog, who went from bomb detection to spoilt pet in one time travelling trip.
The story was really lovely and sad, Harry has been ripped from his life and thrust into a world he doesn’t recognise – the huge changes from 1918 to 1967 are a shock, and he initially struggles to adjust. But he does and it’s Annalise who then struggles to accept his love.
I also liked Annalise – she was very different and modern, perhaps even more so than most in the 60s, not believing in marriage and wanting to work for NASA. She’s clever and wants more from life than the traditional, and is determined to achieve even as her fellow (male) students denigrate her and mock the idea of female Cambridge students.
Their relationship might not be conventional, but it means a lot to both of them, even as something incredible happens that might tip their lives upside down forever. Have a tissue handy if you’re a crier, this one has its weepy moments.
