About the book
Hiring an escort was supposed to be practical. A safe way for small-town librarian Annika to face her fear of intimacy without risking heartbreak. But when the door opens, it isn’t a dating coach standing there. It’s Griffin King, her childhood neighbor turned professional football star, notorious for charm, scandals, and that grin that could melt steel.
Avoiding him should be easy. Except Griffin’s been sidelined by his agent and has plenty of time to torment her. Their lessons aren’t about dating anymore. They’re about discovering sides of themselves they never expected.
Karla Sorensen’s Lessons in Heartbreak, part of The Kings series, is a witty, heartfelt romance about second chances, sizzling opposites, and the rules worth breaking when love is on the line.

'Please Suzanne don't ever stop writing' Netgalley review
The Ancients and the Aeons. Two groups of powerful immortals that have not seen eye to eye for millennia. And right now, at the heart of their conflict, stands Wynter Dellavale.
Wynter is a witch who sought safe haven for herself and her coven in Devil's Cradle. Founded by seven Ancient beings, the Home of Monsters provides protection, shelter, and will never give you up to outsiders . . . providing you pay the Ancients' substantial fee. Wynter already wears the brand of Cain - the mark that says she is in his service and that her soul partly belongs to him. But as their relationship deepens, Wynter has to make a choice from which there's no turning back.
Cain cannot reveal the nightmare which lives inside him, the beast that could tear apart the woman who means more to him than he ever thought possible. But with his brother Abel out for revenge, and the suspicious reappearance of his other relatives, Cain sees that Devil's Cradle is on the verge of war. As the stakes are raised, Cain knows he needs more than anything to keep Wynter safe and by his side - forever.

About the book
Eden was always the good girl. She kept rules, trusted easily, and believed in love. That ended the night her brother’s best friend raped her. Suddenly nothing in her world makes sense.

Told across her four years of high school, Eden’s story is raw, painful, and ultimately resilient. Through heartbreak, broken friendships, and moments of quiet strength, she learns survival is its own kind of power. Her journey exposes the deep scars of trauma, but also the possibility of healing.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Summer, 1940. Britain reels from Dunkirk, invasion looms, and Winston Churchill hatches a desperate plan: smuggle the Crown Jewels out of London before they fall into Nazi hands. The mission requires two spies disguised as husband and wife.
Caitrin Colline, a Welsh coalminer’s daughter with sharp wits and sharper convictions, is an unlikely candidate. Yet paired with Hector Neville-Percy, a polished lord, her grit and his aristocratic polish may just work. Their cover story hides a second task: rooting out Nazi sympathizers in Britain’s highest circles.
But with enemies at every turn, Caitrin can trust no one—not even Hector. When the mission spirals into a life-or-death chase across Europe, the stakes aren’t just jewels or secrets. The fate of nations hangs in the balance.

About the book
Jack and Elizabeth meet in the Chicago art scene of the 1990s, two dreamers clinging to each other and to the thrill of creation. Twenty years later, they are suburban parents, struggling to balance marriage, family, and the bizarre rituals of modern happiness. Polyamorous suitors, renovation obsessions, and wellness fads push them into a maze of discontent.
As middle age sets in, the cracks widen. Jack wrestles with unrealized ambitions. Elizabeth carries the weight of her family’s past. The people they once were seem far removed from the spouses they have become.
To survive, each must confront private demons and uncover whether love can endure the weight of time, compromise, and disappointment—or whether even the best partnerships unravel in silence.

About the book
"A perfect military fantasy: brutal, complex, human and impossible to put down." - Tasha Suri, author of Empire of Sand
In an epic fantasy unlike any other, two women clash in a world full of rebellion, espionage, and military might on the far outreaches of a crumbling desert empire.
Touraine is a soldier. Stolen as a child and raised to kill and die for the empire, her only loyalty is to her fellow conscripts. But now, her company has been sent back to her homeland to stop a rebellion, and the ties of blood may be stronger than she thought.
Luca needs a turncoat. Someone desperate enough to tiptoe the bayonet's edge between treason and orders. Someone who can sway the rebels toward peace, while Luca focuses on what really matters: getting her uncle off her throne.
Through assassinations and massacres, in bedrooms and war rooms, Touraine and Luca will haggle over the price of a nation. But some things aren't for sale.

Our take
Called “intensely thought-provoking,” An Unkindness of Ghosts follows Aster, a lowdeck resident aboard the HSS Matilda, a generation ship structured like the antebellum South, as she confronts oppression, a brutal overseer, and the possibility of civil war, with a 4.4-star rating from more than 1,800 Amazon reviewers.

About the book
An "intensely thought-provoking" science fiction debut from a worthy successor to Octavia Butler (LeVar Burton Reads).
One of Esquire magazine's 50 Best Sci-Fi Books of All Time
Aster has little to offer folks in the way of rebuttal when they call her an ogre and a freak. She's used to the names; she only wishes there was more truth to them. If she was truly a monster, she'd be powerful enough to tear down the walls around her until nothing remained of her world.
Aster lives in the lowdeck slums of the HSS Matilda, a space vessel organized much like the antebellum South. For generations, Matilda has ferried the last of humanity to a mythical Promised Land. On its way, the ship's leaders have imposed harsh moral restrictions and deep indignities on dark-skinned sharecroppers like Aster. Embroiled in a grudge with a brutal overseer, Aster learns there may be a way to improve her lot—if she's willing to sow the seeds of civil war.

"What Solomon achieves with this debut—the sharpness, the depth, the precision—puts me in mind of a syringe full of stars. . . . its only imperfection is that it ended." —NPR
"It's structurally and thematically daring and manages to include a little bit of hope while leveling a devastating critique at racism and fascism." —Los Angeles Times

About the book
Tom Rice thought his first assignment as a graduate student would be straightforward: join a team of archaeologists and dig through the remains of an ancient alien civilization. The High Ones ruled the galaxy millennia ago, and now only fragments of their culture remain—cryptic artifacts scattered across the stars.
When the team uncovers a “message cube” containing living images of the High Ones, everything changes. The footage suggests these beings may not be extinct after all. What began as an academic mission suddenly becomes a dangerous pursuit across the cosmos.
Each discovery leads to new peril, as Tom and his crew hurtle toward answers that could rewrite humanity’s place in the universe. Some relics should be left buried. This one refuses to stay quiet.

The Wall of Winnipeg and Me

Our take
Mariana Zapata’s The Wall of Winnipeg and Me, a Goodreads Choice Award nominee with 4.5 stars and nearly 300,000 Goodreads ratings, is her most beloved slow-burn romance. When Vanessa quits her job as personal assistant to football legend Aiden Graves, she never expects him at her door, asking for something far more personal. Emotional, witty, and unforgettable.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Vanessa Mazur knows she made the right choice walking away. Two years of playing personal assistant to defensive end Aiden Graves left her drained, thankless, and ready for a future that didn’t involve doing his laundry. The legendary “Wall of Winnipeg” may be adored by fans, but he never once managed a simple thank you.
So when Aiden shows up at her door begging her to return, Van is stunned. Even more shocking his request is nothing like the job she left behind. It’s personal in a way that forces her to question everything.
Mariana Zapata’s The Wall of Winnipeg and Me, a Goodreads Choice Award nominee, is the ultimate slow-burn romance about second chances, unexpected vulnerability, and the love story no one saw coming.
