Hello, Everyone!
I wasn’t able to go to my local used book store this month. However, I did pick up a few kindle books and I added some new ones to my kindle unlimited library. I’m in the point of my life where I am trying to read books before I buy more. I have way to many novels on my shelf that are unread, so the next two, or more hauls, may end up being ebook only hauls. I say that now, but things can easily change. We’ll have to see.
Anywho, I added nine books to my ebook shelf and 3 books to my eArc shelf.
Here are the books.

Synopsis:
I should have known I’d break the oath I made when I offered to let my best friend’s little sister move in with me.
She’s the sweetest woman on the face of the planet.
And to my great misfortune, the sexiest one, too.
She’s been living under her brother’s roof her entire life, and she’s ready to spread her wings.
And I’m the masochist who offers she stay at my place until she can find an apartment.
When I hear her having a nightmare, the only thing I can do is go to her. Hold her so she knows she’s safe from her demons.
The second she’s in my arms, the attraction I’ve tried to hide sparks to life. I know better than to push past the boundaries I’ve set for us, but when she begs me to touch her in a way she’s never been touched, I can’t resist.
And with my name on her lips as I send her soaring for the first time, I know there’s no going back.
I’m willing to break every rule and oath I’ve ever made to keep her.
Accept every consequence.
Only she and I have a dark, dangerous history that no one knows about.
And I’m afraid the consequences of loving her have just caught up to us…
Stealing Hearts
(Wild At Heart Series, Book One)
By: Lex Martin
Release Date: January 30th, 2025
Will Be Available in kindleunlimited: https://amzn.to/3WeOfZn
Synopsis:
A marriage of convenience might save his ranch, but will it break her heart?
I don’t remember a time when I didn’t love Rhett Walker, which is complicated since he’s ten years older and my brother’s best friend. After a falling out, we didn’t speak for years—until today, when he found me sleeping in my car, threw me over his shoulder, and dragged me “to safety.”
He’s grumpy and overprotective and even more handsome than I remembered. I’m shocked to learn he’s in trouble. Someone is sabotaging his ranch, which is thirty days from foreclosure. He needs a loan from a friend who won’t extend the funds unless he’s married. Only Rhett’s now a single dad with no plans to fall in love again.
When his brother suggests I marry Rhett for health insurance so I can rehab an injury, my first reaction is hell no. I can’t afford to catch feelings for someone who won’t see me that way.
But spending time at the ranch reminds me how much is at stake—the family business, the welfare of Rhett’s children, and the happiness of a man I’ve always longed for.
Rhett says we’ll keep things platonic in private, even though I’ll be sleeping in his bed. He refuses to mix business with pleasure.
Except when the lights go out in his bedroom, our chemistry is too explosive to contain.
Would it be so bad to fall for Rhett? Or will he steal my heart all over again?
One thing’s for sure—the clock is ticking on our divorce.
Stealing Hearts is an age gap, marriage of convenience, single dad romance. If you enjoy grumpy cowboys, sweet but sassy heroines, a family of rowdy brothers, and secretive small towns, this book is for you!

I swore I’d never let him get under my skin again, but fate—or maybe just my horrible luck—had other plans.
Dallas wasn’t just there to rub his victory in my face. He was there to remind me of every bad decision I’ve ever made… starting with him.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, I just ran into him on vacation–then found out he’s the star player for my new team.
And he thinks he’s my boss.
