The cowboy, the rancher, and a little holiday magic...

Tanner

I met the grumpiest man on the planet and I’m head over heels in lust. No joke. Oak Ridge Ranch’s new part-time vet slash ranch hand is a bear and he’s built like one too. If I were smart, I’d keep my distance.

In a twist, I’m not so smart. 

But I can tell that under his hard as nails exterior, the cowboy is a gentle giant. Axel is a devoted single dad, a dedicated vet, and…I think he likes me. Or he wants me. 

I can work with that. 

There’s nothing wrong with a little holiday fun, is there? 

Axel

I need the job at the ranch through December, then I’m out of here. I have a kid to think of and it’s time to settle old scores and build a new life. 

But Tanner is making things complicated. He’s smart, intuitive, and charming, and—

Whoa! I’ve learned my lesson. This is temporary. I’m not Tanner’s cowboy. 

I might be attracted to him, but I can handle it. 

I hope. 

Okay, fine. I may need some Christmas magic to get out of this with my heart in one piece. Wish me luck.

A Cowboy Holiday is an MM, bisexual romance featuring a single dad-cowboy-grump, a sweetheart of a rancher, and some holiday magic. 

AVAILABLE NOW

This is a sweet, heartwarming Christmas romance with an unlikely pairing and a beautifully written found-family storyline. Axel is a devoted single dad with a big heart, and Tanner is a caring, hardworking rancher who’s easy to love. Their journey is filled with warmth, tenderness, and genuine emotion.

Nick J. Russo’s narration is absolutely fantastic—his performance adds depth, heart.
The epilogue is fabulous and leaves you with the biggest smile.

As a star left-winger for the Pittsburgh Titans, Atlas Karolak thrives on the ice but keeps his personal life uncomplicated. That all changes when tragedy strikes, pushing him into an unlikely partnership that tests his patience, challenges his heart, and threatens to rewrite everything he thought he knew about love and family.

Playing professional hockey wasn’t just a dream, it was the only one that ever mattered. I’ve worked my whole life for this career, and now that I’m playing for the Pittsburgh Titans, I’m exactly where I want to be. My life feels complete.

Losing my best friend to cancer shatters me in ways I didn’t see coming. And as I’m trying to figure out how to say goodbye, I’m blindsided again—because he’s named me and Maddie St. James as joint guardians of his daughter.

Maddie and I… we’re not friends. We’re barely acquaintances. If I’m oil, she’s water, and we’ve never managed to mix without friction. But for the sake of a little girl who’s already lost too much, we need to find neutral ground and figure out how to co-parent.

Are we capable? I’d like to think so. Are we scared out of our minds? Without a doubt. Can we put our differences aside and work together? Honestly, it depends on the day. But when stress turns into stolen glances, which turn into nights we can’t take back, our partnership gets a whole lot more complicated.

Because what started as obligation is starting to feel a lot like forever.

Atlas is the most heartbreaking story you will read! This book sent my emotions through the ringer! Big time!

I don’t know how the author does it but her writing is truly something special and her words just captured my attention!

Im not sure where to begin….

This is a story that will honestly wreck you but also give a semblance of hope in a positive way. 

I honestly had to gather my thoughts when I finished reading. 

This book is an absolute must read! 

Atlas and Maddie have to go through a very emotional time. But these two are like oil and wine…. Then having a little person to look after, can they reach a happy medium?

I loved the way Atlas’s hockey family rallied around them both. But these two pasts seems to rear its ugly head and makes life harder. 

Can Atlas and Maddie get along for the sake of Grayce?

An exceptional story!

REVIEW TOUR - The Exception by Vi Keeland

 

Title: The Exception

Author: Vi Keeland

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Boss/Intern, Dominant Hero, Billionaire

Release Date: January 11, 2026

BLURB

He lives by a set of rules. She might be his one exception.

I just wanted a distraction, something to take the edge off before facing a wedding I was dreading. So on the flight back to New York, I signed up for a dating app. Harmless enough, right?

Wrong.

Turns out, it wasn’t just any app—it catered to people with very specific tastes. By the time I realized it, I was already on my date.

Tall, confident, and sinfully handsome, Jagger Langston seemed like the full package. The chemistry between us was instant—electric enough to burn the whole city down. Though things took a turn when we figured out I’d misunderstood who should join the app. We laughed it off, said goodbye, and went our separate ways.

Or so I thought.

Until I walked into my new internship Monday morning, ready to put the weekend behind me, and there he was—my boss.

Now I’m caught between the rules he lives by—and the temptation to make him break every single one of them.

Well I think Ms Keeland has outdone herself!

Right from the start the sizzling energy could be felt as I read! I kept picturing in my mind the cover model as Jagger and oh my goodness me…. It certainly took a delicious turn!! Hehe!! 

I feel this book is very well written and had my attention from the very start with the amazing characters! I especially liked Suttons friend Miles, he’s a hoot and someone who is definitely good for a woman’s moral!

What can I say about Sutton. I admire her immensely. Her struggles, her attitude and her ability to overcome life’s obstacles thrown her way….. 

Jagger though, what a complex man. He’s entirely unexpected. 

An exceptional read! Please go 1 click, you wont be sorry.

5 Stars plus! 

Audiobook review.

After matching on a “dating” app and discovering on their first date that Sutton had misunderstood the app’s purpose, Sutton and Jagger part amicably—despite an instant, undeniable attraction. That is, until Sutton realizes the man she met on the app is also her new boss.

That’s how this book begins.

From there, the story becomes increasingly detailed—and I mean detailed. As Sutton and Jagger slowly fall for each other, Jagger’s commitment issues add tension and  depth. 

I listened to the audiobook, narrated by Andi Arndt and Sebastian York, and it was absolutely fabulous.

RELEASE BLITZ - House of BS & Lies by Lani Lynn Vale

 

Title: House of BS & Lies

Series: Don't Date Him #1

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Tropes: Bad Boy Ex Con/Small Town

Alpha Male

Release Date: January 13, 2026

BLURB

She was enraptured by the man they called Romeo the moment that he turned those butterscotch-colored eyes her way.

What wasn’t to love about a big, burly, plaid-wearing lumberjack?

He was tall, gorgeous, and knew how to wield a chainsaw better than Leatherface. He could fell a tree in seconds, had thighs that were as thick as said trees, filled out a pair of Wranglers better than any cowboy ever, and didn’t care that she could operate heavy machinery better than him.

He was everything a girl like Mable could ask for.

The caveat? He was a convicted felon that’d just escaped from prison, faked his death, and ran from his home in Texas to the mountains of Montana.

At first, Mable didn’t know what kind of man he’d been before coming to her small, mountain town. He led Mable into a false sense of security, made her fall madly, deeply, and irrevocably in love with him, and then shocked her by sharing his darkest secret.

Now, she’s left reeling, thinking life couldn’t get more complicated.

Until she finds out her stepmother knows Romeo’s secret and plans to exploit him. To make matters worse, Romeo goes on the run to protect Mable from himself, and she realizes that she has a dark side, too. One that’ll stop at nothing, not even murder, to make sure that he can live free.

Lani Lynn Vale delivers another brilliant start to a new series! I swear each book of hers gets better and better.

House of BS & Lies is the start of a new series and I’m here for it!

It’s unique and even though it has secondary characters who are part of an MC, the main hero is not! He’s actually a lumberjack! How cool is that?! Romeo is amazing. I love his back story and how Apollo helps him start a new life. 

Mable (I love this name!!) is a heroine that I am absolutely obsessed with! She’s atypical and bossy and I love it! Her job is a heavy machinery operator, so think backhoes and machinery you would see on a construction site. It’s so cool! She still has that sassy personality that all of Lani Lynn Vale’s characters have though who will have you laughing at her antics. 

This story line had me absorbed right from the start. Mable is fighting with her father and refuses to speak with her stepmother and stepsister. She thinks her stepsister is a monster who is out to get her. Well, hold on to your seats because you are in for one hell of a ride! This story is full of twists and turns and I couldn’t get enough of it. 

I love how Romeo is a big giant but has a sweet center when it comes to Mable. He’s still protective but lets Mable fight her own battles, when needed. Absolutely love this!

Honestly, this book was brilliant from start to finish and there isn’t one bad thing I can say about it. Go buy it now!

I can’t wait to see whose book is next and what will happen!

House of BS & Lies is a strong start to the series, drawing you in from the first page. I loved the connections to previous characters, which gave the story a familiar and enjoyable feel. 
Romeo and Mabel’s chemistry is undeniable, but being on the run raises the stakes and the risks.
Mabel’s complicated family history adds depth, and the story is packed with drama, secrets, great banter, and an unexpected twists.
