Spotlight for Save the Date by Mallory Kass

 

Save the Date by Mallory Kass

Published:   April 14, 2026 by Atria Books

Genre:  Contemporary Romance, Rom Com

 

Taken from Goodreads:  A romantic comedy of manners about a lavish wedding weekend gone very, very wrong with the slow-burn romance of Emily Henry and the fizzy humor of Sophie Kinsella.


The Bride: Beautiful, seemingly carefree Marigold, is tired of being treated like a shallow it-girl. That’s one of the many reasons she’s excited to marry Jonathan—the handsome, kind, respectable doctor of her dreams. So, when a shocking secret from her past threatens to ruin her wedding, she’ll do anything to make it disappear...even if it means tracking down a man she vowed to avoid forever.


The Maid of Honor: As the bride’s best friend, all Natalie wants is for this wedding to go off without a hitch. There’s only one problem: Natalie has secretly been in love with the groom since college. When Marigold disappears, Natalie is forced to ask whether she can keep burying her feelings for the sake of friendship...or if she’s ready to risk everything to pursue her own happy ending.

The Sister: Olivia has spent her life cleaning up Marigold’s messes. So, she’s determined to keep the wedding on track for the sake of their mother, who’s battling cancer and longs for one last perfect weekend. But when Jonathan’s best man—a prickly academic with a heart of gold—ropes her into a fake dating scheme, sparks unexpectedly fly. Will Olivia sacrifice her own happiness again, or could this fake relationship turn into the truest choice she’s ever made?

Heartwarming, hilarious, and sparklingly romantic, Save the Date will have you cheering for love in all its messy, unexpected glory.

Release Blitz for What Lasts by J. Bengtsson

 

What Lasts by J. Bengtsson is now live!

Falling in love is the easy part.

It's the late 80s when wealthy East Coast socialite Michelle Carver meets Scott McKallister, sun-crusted California local and frontman of an underground heavy metal band who flirts like he's got nothing to lose. It's instant chemistry. And when Scott promises a night she'll have to lie about later, Michelle can't resist. 

"From the day I met Scott, life asked me to choose."

Michelle's status-obsessed family has plans for her that don't include marrying down. When the secret romance is discovered, Michelle must decide between the future she was raised for and the man she'd risk everything to keep. Their story ends the way every romance promises: with a happily ever after.

But that was only the beginning.

Told across multiple eras, What Lasts is a story about love that survives beyond the honeymoon phase: when kids arrive, money gets tight, and real life moves in. Marriage isn't about finding "the one," or even learning to pee with the door wide open. It's about choosing the same person, again and again. Scott and Michelle think they've figured that part out...

...until the day one of their children doesn't come home.

Book Review for Lonesome Ridge by Maisey Yates

 

Rustler Mountain #3

Lonesome Ridge by Maisey Yates

Published:   February 24, 2026 by Kensington

Genre:  Cowboy Romance

Taken from Goodreads:  Tourists may flock to Rustler Mountain, Oregon for its Wild West reenactments, but for locals, the feuds between the outlaws and the lawmen are still very much alive in this swoon-inducing contemporary western series from New York Times bestselling author Maisey Yates - ideal for fans of Lyla Sage, Elsie Silver, Jennifer Ryan and Robyn Carr.

Good guys and bad guys . . . myth and legend . . . gold and ranching. That’s what historic Rustler Mountain, Oregon, is made of, complete with feuding families descended from outlaws and lawmen. A century later, their grudges still hold—but for a new generation, when opposites attract, it might be time to surrender . . .

From killers to courtesans, the Hancock family has what might be called an eclectic history. But they’ve managed to leverage it into something respectable, creating the popular Hancock Wild West Show. The event features reenactments and trick riding—the latter performed by clever, charismatic Jessie Jane Hancock.

Jessie is usually unflappable, but lately something’s needling her—and it’s not just her annoying attraction to exasperatingly sexy Flynn Wilder—whose great, great, great, great, great grandfather was betrayed by Jessie’s just-as-many-times-great grandfather. It’s the upcoming mayoral election. Specifically, the unopposed Danielle LeFevre, mean girl, all-around awful person, and Flynn’s not-so-beloved half-sister. Jessie wants to keep Danielle from winning . . . and the only person who bothers Flynn more than she does is Danielle.

“I want you to be my first man.” Jessie Jane is hot enough to make him hallucinate, but her request is very real. Jessie wants to run for mayor, and she wants him by her side, as her fake fiancé. A Hancock engaged to a Wilder. An outsider against the status quo. A drama their town will devour. Flynn always knew Jessie was a wild card, but bringing down his corrupt stepfamily is a temptation he can’t resist. Just like the vexing spark between him and Jessie. And once that fire catches, the real showdown begins . . .

 

My Thoughts:  Lonesome Ridge is part of the Rustler Mountain series.   I had no idea it was part of a series when I started reading and am not sure that I missed anything by not reading the first two books. 

Jessie and Flynn are fun and flirty characters.  I enjoyed that their lives were not perfect.  They had family issues and life problems.  This made them more realistic and relatable.  They are both “outlaws” in town and I love that Jessie is wanting to do something about that label.   Both characters accept who they are but know that labels are not all that they are. 

There is a book 4 coming in this series and I am excited to read it.  

Thank you Hambright PR for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

Now Available!! Isle of Wrath by Claire Contreras

 

Isle of Wrath by Claire Contreras is now live! A forgotten prophecy. A 300-year-old curse. And two people bound by a goddess to break it… if the bond doesn't break them first. In Lunaris, everyone trades their memories for asylum. No one remembers their past, their homeland, or the curse that trapped them behind a wall of darkness called the Shroud. But they don't dare break the rules set upon them. Ada Acevedo has spent years hiding her healing gift and keeping her head down. But when her twin brother is struck by a poisoned arrow, she breaks the most dangerous rule of all. She bargains with the goddess of death to save his life. She didn't expect the goddess to send Malachi Bain—an infuriating warrior—to collect. Much less to be soul-bound to him until she repays what she owes. Now Ada has no choice but to help him do the impossible: lift the Shroud and break the curse that's kept Lunaris hidden from the rest of the realm for three hundred years. As she's pulled deeper into a world of forbidden prophecies and buried secrets, Ada discovers a devastating truth. Lunaris isn't the paradise she always thought it was. It's a cage. And on the other side, a monster is lurking—waiting for the Shroud to fall. Waiting for her. Isle of Wrath is a dystopian fantasy romance with morally gray characters, meddling gods, and a slow burn romance. Download your copy today!
