She’s running the town’s holiday fundraiser, but he might just steal the show—and her heart.

Becoming the new chair for the annual Mr. and Ms. Mistletoe Fundraising Event is an honor Morgan McCann embraces. After all, the competition combines Christmas, honoring local firefighters, and raising money for victims of Colorado wildfires, a cause close to her heart. Minutes into the job, however, she discovers a certain firefighter has been nominated…a man with whom she shares a years-long secret and happens to be her best friend’s older brother.

Returning to his hometown after being gone five years had never been part of Jason Kinsella’s plan. But experiencing personal tragedy while on the job turned his life upside down. As such, competing to become Mr. Mistletoe is not at the top of his holiday to-do list. But can he really say no to the nomination and the Lady Chair who hasn’t been far from his mind the last sixteen years?

Amidst competition hiccups, nosy eyes and ears, and a secret fighting to break free, Morgan and Jason realize there might be more than holiday magic in the air.

Brigid’s Vista is the place to be this season where brains and brawn meet under the mistletoe in Psychology With Mr. Mistletoe, Book Three in the Smart is Seriously Sexy Series.

Book Tour: Between the Moon and her Night – Jacyln Kot

ramblingmads

Happy publication day to author Jaclyn Kot and congratulations on the release of Between the Moon and Her Night. It sounds and looks incredible!

Between the Moon and Her Night (Between Life and Death Series Book 3)

Publication Date: October 23, 2024

Genre: Dark Fantasy Romance

  • Stalker Shadow Daddy
  • True Enemies to Lovers
  • Traumatized, Lonely FMC

“It was like he had lifted the lid to a small locket box, because a
soft, beautiful melody began to play—happy and sad, and filled with love and
loss.

It was the song of us.

The song of Life and Death.”

Centuries before the events of Between Life and Death and Between Sun
and Moon . . . Centuries before she was Sage . . . She was Aurelia, the Goddess of Life.

The decades-long Immortal War has ended and a new deal has been struck
between the two warring sides. In exchange for the freedom of others, Aurelia reluctantly
agrees to live in the Spirit Realm where she will give her hand in marriage to
the God of Death—Von.

The lethal, sexy, immortal claims he will make her his queen, but she
knows full well that she will not be wearing a gilded crown upon her head, but
rather a tight collar around her neck. Having no intentions of becoming his
prisoner, on the day she is supposed to go with him, she makes a swift decision
and runs from him instead.

Thunderclouds and swords are not the only things that collide when Von
tracks her down in the dark, foreboding woods. There, steamy passions and
shadow chains lure Aurelia into making another deal with him—a deal that she
won’t be able to run away from this time. A deal that will forever lock her to
his side.

. . . Right where Death wants her to be.

Between the Moon and Her Night is a prequel to the Between Life and Death series, but it is intended to be read as the third book. This dark fantasy romance series is great for readers who enjoy Raven Kennedy, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Sarah J. Maas.

Alchemist. Poisoner. Storm wielder.

Wren Embervale, alchemist-turned-assassin, finds solace in only one thing: seeking vengeance for the death of her friends. The wars of the past may be over, but her thirst for revenge is far from quenched.

For years, she has been content with her poisons and potions for company, but when an unknown form of alchemy is used to attack a king of the midrealms, Wren’s time in the shadows comes to an end.

She’s offered a place at the ancient alchemy academy of Drevenor to find a cure to the dark magic threatening the kingdoms. To win her spot, she must conquer the Gauntlet, a grueling series of deadly trials that could cost her sanity, or her life.

More is at play than sabotage from fellow competitors. Magic wielders are being targeted and Wren becomes tangled in a dangerous web of deception and bloodshed that puts the entire realm at risk.

But the biggest threat of all might come from the man assigned to protect her —Torj Elderbrock, the silver-haired war hero who has hated her since she assassinated his last charge.

Their shared history ignites a simmering tension that threatens to consume them both.

Peace is fragile, trust is scarce and enemies lurk around every corner… Will love heal all wounds—or will it be the most lethal poison of all?

Iron & Embers is the breathtaking first instalment in the epic fantasy romance series, The Ashes of Thezmarr. With its lush world-building, sizzling chemistry, and heart-pounding action it’s perfect for fans of Fourth Wing, Throne of Glass, and The Bridge Kingdom.

The Wrong Brother: A New Adult College Romance (Wrighting the Wrongs Book 1)

Publication Date: October 8, 2024

Genre: NA Romance

Leah chose the wrong brother—she just doesn’t know it yet.

Leah Parker has always found Shawn to be the most attractive of the Wrighting brothers, and the most complicated. Which is why she chooses his predictable, steady brother, Sebastian, to date after an ex leaves her confidence shattered and reputation ruined. While Sebastian is the perfect option to ease back into the dating pool, they make better friends than lovers and part amicably.

It’s Leah’s senior year of college and she is more than looking forward to Spring Break with the brothers, until Sebastian backs out. Now she has to face the trip single and without her best friend. Shawn’s yo-yo mood swings—sweet one minute and grumpy the next—make her even more apprehensive, despite Sebastian’s reassurances that Shawn will look out for her.

Shawn loves pushing Leah’s buttons, even if it makes her think he hates her. Her angry responses to him are the only times he glimpses the fiery woman she used to be before her jerk of an ex-boyfriend got a hold of her. He misses that spitfire woman. The way her blue eyes flash when she’s mad and how she flays him with her sharp words is nothing short of amazing. But things get complicated when he’s forced to face his tangled mess of emotions head-on.

Their upcoming Spring Break trip offers Shawn the chance to own up to his true feelings, show Leah what she truly means to him and tackle the hardest task of all—convincing her that she was with the wrong brother.

Blog Tour: The Red Woman and the White Bear – Fern A Ellis

ramblingmads

Have you read The Red Woman and the White Bear yet? We highly recommend you add this beauty to the top of your reading list! You won’t regret it!

Front Cover

The Red Woman and the White Bear

Publication Date: September 24, 2024

Genre: Romantic Fantasy

✨️Fae courts
✨️Enemies to lovers
✨️Hurt/comfort
✨️Shadow magic
✨️Court politics
✨️Opposing religions/religion is magic
✨️Slow burn forbidden love
✨️Hidden identity
✨️Morally grey characters
✨️Reluctant chosen one
✨️Soul-deep connection

It is both the fate and the burden of the Red Woman to bring peace.

The Fae are real—this is a fact that Aisling Morrow has believed with varying degrees of certainty since she was a child. Her late mother’s accounts of their beauty still linger in her mind, but always with the caveat: Do not involve yourself uninvited with matters of the Fae. Aisling has no plans to do so—until she discovers an arcane prophecy which names her the Red Woman, destined to turn the tides of war in the realm of Wyldraíocht by ensuring the fall of the Unseelie Court.

On a quest to understand her role, Aisling ventures into Wyldraíocht. Except Fae prophecies aren’t so easily interpreted, and she is soon ensnared in a dangerous web of political machinations, opposing religions, and dark magic—at the center of which stands the fierce and vengeful Unseelie King.

King Kael Ardhen, a vessel for raw power bestowed upon him by an eldritch god, is consumed by his own unbridled rage—a rage which he would not hesitate to turn on the human woman prophesied to destroy his court. Yet something about the way Aisling calls to his shadows draws him in, at once both granting him control over his violent magic and inviting him to relinquish control over his guarded heart.

As unsettling truths about the world her mother so loved challenge Aisling’s convictions and call into question the true purpose of the Red Woman, the Veil between realms grows ever weaker with the echoes of war. Soon, the crueler sorts of Fae will no longer be confined to Wyldraíocht. With time running out to protect those she loves, Aisling finds herself at the crossroads of fate and choice—and the ultimate price of peace may demand more than she is willing to pay.

ramblingmads


Wallflower at risk of ruin…

Secret femme-fatale in training Millicent Whittenburg needs to escape her unpleasant betrothal.

Taking matters into her own hands, she plans her eventual ruin! Then she can disappear from society to carry out the Queen’s deadly missions. Step 1: seduce the one man who despises marriage more
than her!

However, she hugely underestimates her target. Major General Beaufort Drake. Fearsome private investigator, he’s notoriously cold and visibly battle scarred. But Millie’s scandalously public kiss
awakens a deeply suppressed desire in Drake. Instead of allowing them both to succumb to shame he does the unthinkable, and offers for her hand in a convenient marriage.

Nothing prepares them for the fireworks when a fearless damsel collides with a dangerous Major General! And as their secret missions align they face their hardest test on the glittering battlefield – a
week long wedding house party where there is nowhere to escape…only new and wicked lessons to be learnt!

My thoughts: I really like this series, we’re only on book two but it’s just a lot of fun. Queen Victoria’s lady agents have to basically avoid being trapped in a marriage to some miserable sod, as they’ll have to give up their role and play domestic angel instead.

Millie’s ghastly stepmother wants to marry her off to a fossil so Millie decides to go for disgrace and being packed off away from society in order to carry on her vital work as a spy. Only she’s picked the one man who won’t back down.

Major General Beaufort Drake is an agent for the Prime Minister – and they’re investigating the same case from different angles. Can they fall in love, stop bickering and stop the trade in young women?

So much fun, a bit saucy, quite romantic (they face off against the horrible stepmother, his wet blanket of a brother and miserable sister-in-law together) and just very enjoyable. Highly recommend.

*I was kindly gifted a copy of this book in exchange for taking part in this blog tour, but all opinions remain my own.

Blog Tour: To Defend a Bride – Daniela A. Mera

ramblingmads

To Defend a Bride is LIVE! The Entangled with the Enduar series continues with Ra’Sa and Melisa’s story!

To Defend A Bride: An Enemies to Lovers Bodyguard Fantasy Romance (Entangled with the Enduar Series)

Publication Date: October 14, 2024

Genre: Fantasy Romance

  • Bodyguard x Courtesan
  • Epic Angst
  • Secrets
  • True Love Against All Odds
  • She’s Using Him
  • Fated Mates

Bodyguard romantasy meets courtesan turned spy.

Melisa needs a new life for herself and her family. And she finds just that in a troll named Ra’Sa. He’s tall, strong, serious, and unattached.

And yet, he doesn’t fall for her attempts to seduce him. Frustrated, she gives up and crafts a new plan: make herself indispensable.

So far, Ra’Sa is unimpressed with the weak, helpless creatures he escorts across the land. The one with long, silky black hair and a red gown is intriguing, but his crystal doesn’t sing, meaning she’s not his mate. Thus, it doesn’t matter that she’s clever. And beautiful. And strangely hard to stop watching.

However… he is furious when she surprises everyone and offers to return to the giant capital, where she will use her position as a comfort woman to glean information for the trolls.

So he demands to go with her—to watch over and defend her in a land of cruel men.

Her secrets unravel, revealing her true nature. He finds it… breathtaking. Despite the forbidden nature of their relationship, feelings stir within his stony heart.

Will they succeed their mission or let their desire burn them to ashes?

To Defend a Bride is a standalone novel, but it is part of a larger series called Entangled with the Enduar. It can be read by itself but it is recommended to be read after To Steal a Bride and To Ignite a Flame for the best experience.

It is dark monster romantasy featuring a cunning heroine and a brooding hero. This adult fantasy romance is perfect for readers of Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Danielle L. Jensen.

Note: This story is an adult/new adult novel with mentions of trauma, abuse, and other mature themes.

My first life, my human life, was nothing like the fairy tales. It may have started the same—“Once upon a time, I fell in love…”—but devolved into a nightmare where I was mistreated and eventually discarded by my so-called husband. I quickly learned there are no happily-ever-afters.
Searching for an escape, I find myself faced with a second chance, but one that is more like a gilded cage than a genuine fresh start. I wake in an unknown place with no memory of my old life or awareness of where I am. Relying on two strangers, who just so happen to also be my rivals for his favor, I learn to navigate this supernatural domain and my newfound power.
The man who brought me here showers me with both his magic and cruelty once I’ve proven myself worthy of his attention, shaping me to suit his needs. Despite his ulterior motive, he provides me the knowledge and opportunity to avenge myself for all I have endured, so I play into his hand as a means to my own end. After all, that’s what I am to him.
There is nothing I won’t do to reclaim what’s mine and break free from the bloodred hands that mean to imprison me. I just hope my fragile heart won’t get in the way of my schemes.
