<p class="wp-block-paragraph">OVERVIEW: Is Luna destined for a happily ever after, or is it &#8220;game over&#8221; for her love life?<br><br>Move to the adorable town of Brookhaven? Check.<br><br>Get bumped to first class on the train and meet the most gorgeous, considerate man of my life? Check.<br><br>Find a job in video game animation and a cozy apartment of my own? Not so much.<br><br>So maybe things in Brookhaven aren’t quite as idyllic as my friend promised. My one saving grace is playing video games every evening with my best online friend, MidKnight. Plus, helping him create his own video game helps me escape the drudgery of my demanding twin bosses and a dusty, cramped apartment.<br><br>It’s not long before our relationship turns from friendly to…a lot more personal.<br><br>Things get complicated when I run into the man from the train again. He couldn’t forget about me either, and he’s been searching for me. I can’t deny the intense physical attraction we have, but I feel like my heart is being pulled in two directions. But there are things that both guys don’t know about me.<br><br>Being brave isn’t my strong suit, but maybe it’s time to find some courage.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">MY REVIEW: This is such a cute novella. I read Cinder Luna before this so I knew who Mason and Madeleine were from that book but it was so fun to go back and read their sweet story<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f970.png" alt="🥰" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> All the little tests Mason put her through had me laughing so much. They were so perfect together and I love them even more!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">OVERVIEW: Falling for the boss has never tasted this delicious.<br><br>When I show up for my job interview at Mason Bond&#8217;s bakery, I feel an immediate attraction to him. He&#8217;s gorgeous, talented&#8230;and a jerk. Despite my extensive culinary training, he refuses to let me bake with him. Not until I&#8217;ve passed his ridiculous tests.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I&#8217;ve got this in the bag. I&nbsp;<em>know</em>&nbsp;baking like the back of my hand.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And if there&#8217;s something else I know, it&#8217;s that Mason feels the same attraction to me, too.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Cookies &amp; Kisses is a sweet and clean romantic comedy short story. It&#8217;s the prequel to the series Once Upon a RomCom, a collection of fairy tale inspired romantic comedies that are full of swoon but without the spice!</em></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">OVERVIEW: Evangeline is gifted with a heavenly voice, but she is trapped in a sinister betrothal until she embarks on a daring escape and meets brave Westley le Wyse. Can he help her discover the freedom to sing again?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Desperate to flee a political marriage to her cousin King Richard II’s closest advisor, Lord Shiveley—a man twice her age with shadowy motives—Evangeline runs away and joins a small band of servants journeying back to Glynval, their home village.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pretending to be mute, she gets to know Westley le Wyse, their handsome young leader, who is intrigued by the beautiful servant girl. But when the truth comes out, it may shatter any hope that love could grow between them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">More than Evangeline’s future is at stake as she finds herself entangled in a web of intrigue that threatens England’s monarchy. Should she give herself up to protect the only person who cares about her? If she does, who will save the king from a plot to steal his throne?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">OVERVIEW: Happily Ever After …<br>Or Happily Nevermore?&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Gisela’s childhood was filled with laughter and visits from nobles such as the duke and his young son. But since her father’s death, each day has been filled with nothing but servitude to her stepmother. So when Gisela learns the duke’s son, Valten—the boy she has daydreamed about for years—is throwing a ball in hopes of finding a wife, she vows to find a way to attend, even if it’s only for a taste of a life she’ll never have. To her surprise, she catches Valten’s eye. Though he is rough around the edges, Gisela finds Valten has completely captured her heart. But other forces are bent on keeping the two from falling further in love, putting Gisela in more danger than she ever imagined.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">OVERVIEW: A daring rescue. A difficult choice.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sophie desperately wants to get away from her stepmother’s jealousy, and believes escape is her only chance to be happy. Then a young man named Gabe arrives from Hagenheim Castle, claiming she is betrothed to his older brother, and everything twists upside down. This could be Sophie’s one chance at freedom—but can she trust another person to keep her safe?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Gabe defied his parents Rose and Wilhelm by going to find Sophie, and now he believes they had a right to worry: the girl’s inner and outer beauty has enchanted him. Though romance is impossible—she is his brother’s future wife, and Gabe himself is betrothed to someone else—he promises himself he will see the mission through, no matter what.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When the pair flee to the Cottage of the Seven, they find help—but also find their feelings for each other have grown. Now both must not only protect each other from the dangers around them—they must also protect their hearts.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">OVERVIEW: An unthinkable danger. An unexpected choice. Annabel, once the daughter of a wealthy merchant, is trapped in indentured servitude to Lord Ranulf, a recluse who is rumored to be both terrifying and beastly. Her circumstances are made even worse by the proximity of Lord Ranulf’s bailiff—a revolting man who has made unwelcome advances on Annabel in the past. Believing that life in a nunnery is the best way to escape the escalation of the bailiff’s vile behavior and to preserve the faith that sustains her, Annabel is surprised to discover a sense of security and joy in her encounters with Lord Ranulf. As Annabel struggles to confront her feelings, she is involved in a situation that could place Ranulf in grave danger. Ranulf’s future, and possibly his heart, may rest in her hands, and Annabel must decide whether to follow the plans she has cherished or the calling God has placed on her heart.</p>
