Just when Maddie thought she'd found her forever with Dylan, life shattered her world once again. A sudden loss leaves her drowning in grief, and the one person who should be holding her hand through it all, keeps finding excuses to be anywhere else.

But someone else has always been there, she's just never opened her eyes to see it.

The friend who was quietly relegated to the sidelines is suddenly the one showing up with tissues, staying through the sleepless nights, and helping her piece together a new life. When her life takes an unexpected twist, and Dylan's true colors finally show. Maddie finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about love. Because sometimes the person you're meant to be with isn't the one who promises you the world. It's the one who shows up when your world falls apart.

Maddie realizes that maybe love isn't about the grand gestures. It's about the quiet moments with the man who will stay with you through it all, the good, the bad, and everything in between. Who shows up when you need him without you even asking.

But opening her heart means facing her biggest fear, trusting again when grief has taught her that nothing lasts forever.

Through the darkness of loss and betrayal, Maddie must learn that sometimes the best things come from the most broken places and that love can be the light that guides you home.

INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

When two witches with a tangled history are forced to team up, it spells disaster in this steamy rom-com from USA Today bestselling author Avery Flynn.

It's the curse of every family's heir to be the responsible one. My family being the most powerful family in all of Witchingdom doesn't eliminate that fact, it only makes it worseโ€”and that's why I, Leona Amber Sherwood, never do the unexpected. Except for that one time I did.

Believe me, I have rued the day that I got married in a midnight ceremony under a full moon to Erik Svensen, the heir to my family's deepest, bitterest enemies, and now, he won't agree to a divorce unless we return an ancient spell book to his family's secured facility.

But on our road trip to return the book, I learn more about Erik as we encounter trolls, nymphs, satyrs, and more. The longer we work together, the more I'm convinced that he might not be the evil trickster I assumed he was. Any more time together will leave me even more enchanted with my husband and that's the last thing I want. And if I keep telling myself that, maybe I'll start to believe it.

This book had so many of my favorite things wrapped into one story.

Leona has the weight of her family's future on her shoulders. Erik has a talent for getting under her skin just because he enjoys seeing her react. Put them together on a road trip with family drama, magic, and a marriage between rival families, and I was hooked.

One thing I will say is this: read book one first. You'll enjoy this story so much more once you understand the family dynamics and everything that's already happened.

Sports romance isn't usually my go-to, but Lana Piers keeps changing my mind.

Heyes is a grumpy hockey goalie, a devoted single dad, and completely unprepared for the sunshine that is Wren. Their chemistry was so much fun to watch, and I loved how naturally Wren fit into both his life and Hollis's.

I honestly wasn't ready for this book to end. I could have happily stayed with these characters for another hundred pages.

If you're looking for a sweet, heartfelt romance with plenty of chemistry, add this one to your TBR.

That's exactly where I am this week.

I settled onto the porch expecting a light afternoon read, and within a few chapters this book had completely changed my expectations. I'm still not sure where it's going, but that's half the fun.

Now I'm curious...
