Hailing from the notoriously sunny South Africa, Logan Fox writes deliciously dark and twisted romance. Her books feature gruff, grumpy alphas that, although broken, can almost always redeem themselves to their feisty heroines. Her couples have enough chemistry to fog up an ice rink, and her stories the kind of the grit and grime she loves reading herself.

Finding It All by Stacey Komosinski

Book Review Virginia Lee Blog
Title: Finding It All
Series: Finding Happiness in Harmony
Author: Stacey Komosinski
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release: May 18, 2021

Amazon Review – “A Sweet and Sexy Treat”
Amazon Review – “Sweet tale of friendship and a pleasant romance”
Goodreads Review – “This book is a well-written, charming tale about the importance of friendship and the joy and impact it brings to our lives.”




Twenty-five-year-old Chloe Larson has never had a relationship or been really kissed by someone. After a rough childhood spent hiding a secret and being ridiculed, Chloe believes she’s better off with only friends around her. That way she can’t get hurt or misused. She spends weekends living life to the fullest with her best friends and roommates Gaby and Jess and weekdays proving her worth as a newly promoted reporter. The thing is, she doesn’t have time for anything romantic. But secretly she longs for that special connection with someone.

Chris Sherman is bored of the selfish women who flock to him. Recently out of a relationship, he isn’t looking for love. But everything changes when he meets Chloe Larson. She has a way about her that excites and intrigues him, leaving him desperate to get to know her.

Will they both find the courage to let each other in and experience the joys and pains of love, life, and happiness to find it all?



He placed his hands on either side of her waist and looked into her eyes. Chloe felt something shift between them, a deeper understanding growing like a flower in the garden. Her heartbeat quickened.

Chris took a breath. “I’d really like to kiss you. May I?”

“Yes,” she said, shivers suddenly running over her arms. Her heart swelled. This is it.

Meanwhile, Chris could feel his own heart start to pound against his chest. “You’re so beautiful,” he said quietly as he lowered his mouth to hers.

He brushed his lips against hers and felt them open slightly. Tilting his head, he started to kiss her more deeply. She pressed her body into his and rested her hands on his shoulders. His hands loosened on her waist and slowly moved up to rest on the small of her back.

He used his left hand to pull her snugly to him while his right hand rubbed down her side to the hem of her T-shirt. Pulling it up slightly, he ran his fingers across her thigh. Still holding her pressed up against him, he continued kissing her slowly and deeply. She moaned and ran her hands down his arms to his waist.

Chris relaxed his grip on her back and released her mouth from his. Her eyes danced open and he could see the passion in them. They were both breathing more quickly now.




Stacey Komosinski grew up in a small Pennsylvania town strongly influenced by her mother’s passion for reading. She read her first romance novel in her early twenties and hasn’t stopped.

Flynn~
I’d grown up across the street from Cotton and the brothers of Satan’s Fury.
They were a legend in our small town.
I’d heard all the rumors about them.
Knew some of them were true.
But I didn’t care. I was only interested in her.

The second she showed up at the fence, I knew Lauren was like no one I’d ever known.
She was not only beautiful, she was strong and determined—and unapologetically so.
We quickly became friends—good friends.
But over time it grew into something more.

It wasn’t until her life was in danger that I knew how far I’d go to make her mine.

Falling for the President’s Daughter is a full-length, standalone MC romance with no cheating and a HEA. This story will have you rooting for the underdog, swooning over the boy next door, and fangirling over your favorite Fury men. Get ready for a wild ride!

When Tristan was kidnapped, Cotton sent Big and Nitro to bring her home safely—and they did. Only they brought Lauren along with her. The twelve-year old with dark hair and blue eyes quickly won Cotton’s heart, and it wasn’t long before he and Cass decided to adopt her. This is her story, and one you won’t want to miss.










Leslie Wilder grew up in a small town in West Tennessee. A country girl at heart, she’s always thought that life is too short, but she had no idea how short it really was until her brother passed away in 2014. She’s always been an avid reader, loving the escape only a great book can give, and wondered if she had what it took to write one of the wild romances she’d come to adore. With the support of her family and friends, she published Inferno: A Devil Chaser’s MC, one year after her brother’s death. With him in mind, she fulfilled her lifetime dream of writing. Since then, she’s completed the Devil Chaser’s Series and continued on with the Satan’s Fury MC Series. She has so many stories in her head, and can’t wait to share each and every one.
Leslie has been blown away by the support of her readers, appreciating every message, review, and encouraging word she’s received over the past year. She looks forward to continuing this journey with them for years to come.

BLURB:
Ava Harper may be a raiser of the dead and a not-so-famous author, but she isn’t a vampire hunter. Not even close.

With the decision made to stay in Shipton Harbor, she returns to the home she shared with her deceased husband in Pennsylvania to put it on the market. But saying goodbye to the memories of the home they raised their son in is a lot harder than it had sounded in her head.

In the months she’s been in Shipton, new neighbors moved in across the street from her Philly home. Now, Ava has nothing against vampires. But when people in the neighborhood start turning up dead, she can’t help but to check into the newbies in the hood.

Since she doesn’t know enough about law enforcement red tape, she calls her best friend to come and help. However, Sam is working a case with a neighboring town and Sheriff Drew takes it upon himself to show up at her door instead.

And now, as if dealing with how the sheriff makes her knees weak isn’t bad enough, her house is haunted.

Just another day in Ava’s life at this point.

My son means the world to me, so I’ll do anything to get him back. 


Rune


Being a Nomad, I always thought it was best for my boy to be with his momma. I was constantly on the road and it wasn’t the place for a kid. Sure, I wanted him with me as much as possible, but constantly moving isn’t the type of life I wanted for him. 


Now, things have changed and I’m not ridin’ around the States as much as I used to. Sure, I still go out, but we have a satellite club in Tallahassee. When my son begged for me to let him move in with me . . . I knew something happened, but when he told me, I saw red. 


I called up my lawyer and given my priors, the likelihood I’d be awarded full custody was slim to none. My lawyer was straight up with me, said it’s ’cause I don’t look like a changed man and when it comes to the eyes of the court I need to show I’ve changed. Now, the only thing I’ve been convicted of is assault, on multiple counts, but it’s what happens to idiots who mess with my brothers. I heard my lawyer loud and clear though, so I had a brilliant idea. I’ll get married. I’ll show them I’m a changed man. 


Our marriage was supposed to be for show, so I could get my son back, but it turned into something else. Now I’m faced with telling this woman I want her in a legitimate way, when all we’ve been doing is playing pretend. I’ve never been the type to put my heart out on the line, but I see the way she is with my son, and now I never want her out of my life. I only hope she has the same feelings.

BLURB:

Love isn’t always a cakewalk . . .

Gigi Hawthorne is starting from scratch. She just didn’t realize until her crappy car broke down that she was going to be doing it in a small town in Vermont. With an eye for design and some serious decorating skills, she’s managed to land a job making delectable treats for the patrons of the Busy Bean. Now she’s up to her elbows in sugar and flour, but her thoughts are never far from her gorgeous, brooding landlord.

Holden St. James swears he isn’t a recluse. He goes to the local coffee shop three times a week, doesn’t he? Yeah, maybe he never actually talks to anyone, but with a backstory of loss, pain, and regret like his, he’s pretty sure he wouldn’t be very good company anyway. Yet something about his new tenant makes him wonder if maybe it’s time to let someone open the oven door and release a little heat into his closed-off world. 

But both are hiding secrets as dark as an espresso mocha cupcake and they’re not sure if they can trust each other. Will the truth break their delicate relationship into sad, sweet crumbs–or will it turn out to be the key ingredient in the recipe for a new life?

About Claire:

Claire Hastings is a walking, talking awkward moment. She loves Diet Coke, gummi bears, the beach, and books (obvs). When not reading she can usually be found hanging with friends at a soccer match or grabbing food (although she probably still has a book in her purse). She and her husband live in Atlanta with their fur-child Denali.

She’s afraid to take risks. He’s an incurable daredevil. When tragedy throws them together, will it spark a lasting devotion?

Crystal Whalen isn’t sure why she should go on. Two years after her husband’s death on a ski trip, she’s devastated when a fire destroys her quiet Colorado mountain home. And when she can’t keep her hands off the gorgeous divorcé who’s become her new temporary housemate, it only feeds her grief and growing guilt.

Garth Welty won’t be burned again. After his ex-wife took most of his money, the downhill-skiing Olympic medalist is determined to keep things casual with the sexy woman he can’t resist. But the more time they spend with each other, the harder it is to deny his burgeoning feelings.

As Crystal’s longing for the rugged man’s embrace grows, she worries that his dangerous lifestyle will steal him away. And although Garth believes she’s his perfect girl, the specter of betrayal keeps a tight grip on his heart.

Will the thrill-seeker and the wary woman succumb to the power of love?

The Patron of Emerson Pass is the emotional second book in the Emerson Pass Contemporaries small-town romance series. If you like lyrical prose, unexpected chances at happiness, and uplifting stories, then you’ll adore Tess Thompson’s sweet tale.

Emerson Pass Contemporaries, Book 1

Published: May 2020

True love requires commitment, and many times unending sacrifice…

At the tender age of eighteen, Brandi Vargas watched the love of her life drive out of Emerson Pass, presumably for good. Though she and Trapper Barnes dreamed of attending college and starting their lives together, she was sure she would only get in the way of Trapper’s future as a hockey star. Breaking his heart, and her own in the process, was the only way to ensure he pursued his destiny. Her fate was the small town life she’d always known, her own bakery, and an endless stream of regret.

After a decade of playing hockey, a single injury ended Trapper Barnes’ career. And while the past he left behind always haunted him, he still returns to Emerson Pass to start the next chapter of his life in the place his ancestors built more than a century before. But when he discovers that the woman who owns the local bakery is the girl who once shattered his dreams, the painful secret she’s been harboring all these years threatens to turn Trapper’s idyllic small town future into a disaster. Will it take a forest fire threatening the mountain village to force Trapper and Brandi to confront their history? And in the wake of such a significant loss, will the process of rebuilding their beloved town help them find each other, and true happiness, once again?

Fast forward to the present day and enjoy this contemporary second chance romance set in the small town of Emerson Pass, featuring the descendants of the characters you loved from USA Today bestselling author Tess Thompson’s The School Mistress.

🟪 ANYTHING FOR YOU 🟪

NATALIE

My story isn’t pretty. In fact, it’s downright tragic, but it is all I have and it’s mine.

Or so I thought. For six years, I hid from the world, gave up on living and instead focused on surviving. Nightmares plague me, fear controls me, my past overwhelms me, trust has deserted me, and that was fine—until he came along and turned my world on its head.

My mind, body and soul were broken, too broken for any kind of happily ever after, or so I thought.

Beau doesn’t think so, twice my age and carrying the weight of his criminal past on his broad shoulders. He saunters into my life and insists that he wants me. Baggage be damned. My choice is simple, fight my demons and take what Beau is offering or continue to hide away from living.

Simple and terrifying, but Beau believes in me. I just have to learn to believe in myself.

BEAU

I lived most of my life on the wrong side of the law. My world consisted of my MC, my brothers, my president, and being the best enforcer, my club has ever had.

My loyalty belonged to my club until I woke up one day and realised that there had to be more to life than breaking bones and the law.

Leaving the only family I knew, I walked away, taking my pain with me, landing myself in a small country town. There I found the meaning of a new beginning. There I found Natalie, a broken younger woman with a tragic story.

Now, I had a reason to heal because a life without Natalie was a life not worth living. All I had to do was convince her I was her one—the one that would do anything for her for the rest of her life.
