Hilarious, campy, musical and moving, this book provokes you to ponder: If I steal a few hearts, can I still get into Heaven?

When a failing radio station’s morning show starts stealing, sampling and remixing ‘90s pop songs in a Hail Mary attempt at attracting an audience, virtuous virgin Japheth is forced to team up with Rino, a dangerously charming Italian car dealership heir with advertiser dollars to spend and maybe-mafia vibes, and their enemies-to-lovers romance threatens to become the station’s biggest scandal and its only salvation.

At WWJD Radio in Greater Napanee, salvation is off script. The phones are ringing off the hook, the fax machine is spitting out cease-and-desist letters from every boy band of the ’90s, and Trinity, the trio of accidental evangelists, are stealing pop songs “for the Lord.”

There’s Rebekkah; the breathless true believer who, though 30, still refers to herself as an ingénue. Her best friend Japheth; virtuous and still virginal. Ronald: poly, pan, and building an ark in his backyard.

Together with Carrington (part receptionist, part stylist, part chaos incarnate), Suwarna (HR, in charge of keeping her new station owner alive and not ‘disappeared’), and everyone's new boss, Emma-Lou (an heiress with a talent for panic and bangs that weren’t her idea) they’re keeping WWJD barely afloat.

Until it burns down. Literally.

Their only shot at salvation comes from Rino Ferrari: a devastatingly charming Italian car-dealership heir with too much money, too many secrets, and maybe a little mafia energy. Unfortunately for Japheth (romantic mess and professional overthinker), Rino is also the last person he wants to need… and the first person he can’t stop thinking about.

As scandal, suspicion, and undeniable chemistry collide, Japheth and Rino tumble from enemies to lovers in a rom-com where faith is flexible, temptation is tailored, and the guy you’re supposed to hate is the one who makes you feel alive.

Is local car dealer Rino Ferrari a mobster, or just a surprisingly generous Christian with body bags of money to give away? Why did Emma-Lou’s parents really “disappear” in the Bermuda Triangle? And will Trinity rebuild a new station on a floating ark, or sell out to dirty money for fame, tote bags, and a studio album?

Outrageously funny, shockingly tender, and just heretical enough, Bless This Hot Mess will jump-start your heart.

Bless This Hot Mess by Charlie David had me laughing out loud all throughout the book!

The characters Rebekah, Japheth and Ronald are so much fun.

A awesome romantic comedy full of sass and fabulous one-liners, full of laughter and wittiness.

The music is the icing on the cake absolutely perfect!

What an incredible book an easy 5 Stars from me.

Love can be found in unexpected places

As a ranch hand on a sprawling ranch in Colorado, Jake finds comfort in routine. Now, the ranch is being transformed into a dude ranch for troubled LGBTQ youths from the city. It’s a change Jake resists, fearing the loss of the ranch’s soul.

Dalton, a banker from Denver, arrives at the ranch to deliver three young men to partake in what the ranch now offers. He’d love to escape his chaotic life, but he feels out of place in the vast, open landscape and has no idea how to fit in, so he doesn’t plan on staying. 

To Jake, Dalton is a city boy with tassels on his shoes. Plus, he’s afraid of horses. Jake is not interested. Except, Dalton is as pretty as a sunrise, with blue eyes reflecting the Colorado sky above, a combination almost impossible for Jake to resist.

To Dalton, Jake is a dusty cowboy with chiseled features and a distant air; he probably hates everyone and everything. Dalton does his best to stay out of Jake’s way.

Dalton attempts getting on a horse, in spite of his fears, and when he gets tossed off, it's Jake who hauls him to his feet, dusts him off, and teaches him how to ride.

Long days on the ranch lead to late-night talks under the stars. Slowly, they challenge each other. Dalton helps Jake see the beauty in change, while Jake offers Dalton a sense of belonging. Will they put aside their own fears and realize that love can be found in the most unexpected of places?

AVAILABLE NOW

The perfect ending to the Snow Creek Ranch series! This slow-burn romance is full of heart, healing, and love. Jake and Dalton's journey from opposites to soulmates was beautiful to watch, and their chemistry was wonderful.

The wedding scene, with Buddy and Snowball carrying the flower baskets, was the perfect ending. Jackie North wrapped up this series beautifully, and I finished it with a huge smile. Highly recommend!

about the author:

Jackie North has been writing stories since grade school. Her dream was to someday leave her corporate day job behind and travel the world.

As fate would have it, she discovered m/m romance and decided that men falling in love with other men was exactly what she wanted to write books about.

In this dazzling new world, she turned her grocery-store romance ideas around and is now putting them to paper as fast as her fingers can type. She creates characters who are a bit flawed and broken, who find themselves on the edge of society, and maybe a few who are a little bit lost, but who all deserve a happily ever after. (And she makes sure they get it!)

She likes long walks on the beach, the smell of lavender and rainstorms, and enjoys sleeping in on snowy mornings. In her heart, there is peace to be found everywhere, but since in the real world this isn’t always true, Jackie writes for love.

“My face will be the last thing you’ll ever see.”

“Promise?”

Devlin

After falling from my criminal kingpin throne, I know my days are numbered. So I can’t say I’m surprised when masked strangers snatch me off the street, throw a bag over my head, and toss me into a trunk.

Once I’m handcuffed in a dark room, my abductor reveals himself as a mountain of a man who says I killed his father. What I expect next is pain. What I don’t expect is to be attracted to my captor who oozes power from every pore…

Cian

I have a green-eyed devil chained in my shed, and I hate him. So why can’t I stop putting my hands on him? With every day he’s still alive, my crew grows more restless that I haven’t avenged my father, our former leader, while I keep finding new uses for Devlin’s mouth.

There are snakes in my crew, and hyenas waiting to steal my territory. When I’m betrayed, the one who saves me is Devlin. And suddenly keeping him alive and by my side seems like the most important purpose in my life. But we’re both villains, so this can’t end well for either of us… can it?

The Villain is a high-heat, enemies-to-lovers, captive/captor dark MM romance between a tattooed mob leader with a filthy mouth and a fallen crime lord who finds captivity exciting. Expect D/s elements, “No one hurts you but me” energy, violence, and a very happy ending.

The books in this series are interconnected standalones. See author’s note (accessible through the sample) for a full list of content warnings.

Devlin and Cian have explosive chemistry from the very beginning. What starts as a revenge-fuelled kidnapping slowly evolves into something neither of them expected, with plenty of tension, banter, and scorching scenes along the way. and watching their relationship shift as loyalty and trust developed.

The plot isn’t overly complicated, but it kept me engaged, and the pacing was solid. If you’re looking for a dark, steamy romance with possessive heroes, crime-family drama.
