    Three For The Win by Keta Diablo

    Eli
    I’ve loved Hollis forever, it seems. I meant to tell her so many times but always chickened out. Then Stede rode into town on his big shiny motorcycle and saved my life. Hollis fell hard for him. I get that, what’s not to love about Stede? I watched and waited, hoped whatever they felt for one another would pass. It didn’t, and now Stede’s hot head has landed him in trouble…again.
    Hollis
    I should have known better than to fall for a bone-melting man like Stede Marrow. A man who hides everything about his past. I know Stede loves me and I know he loves Eli too, like a brother. Stede’s gone now and Eli’s here to pick up the pieces of my broken life.
    Stede
    I should have kept on riding after I saved Eli at the creek. But then I saw Hollis and forgot about that road up ahead. I wanted to tell her why I’m running and who I am. But I haven’t even told Eli. It’s safer that way. I said I’d never go back to that hick town, swore I’d forget about Hollis. I didn’t bank on her being so damn unforgettable.

    Her Gilded Prison by Beverley OakleyFree Read: Her Gilded Prison by Beverley Oakley #Historical #FreeBookFriday #RLFblog

    She was determined to secure the succession, he was in it for the pleasure. Falling in love was not part of the arrangement.
    When dashing twenty-five-year-old Stephen Cranbourne arrives at the estate he will one day inherit, it’s expected he will make a match with his beautiful second cousin, Araminta.
    But while proud, fiery Araminta and her shy, plain sister, Hetty, parade their very different charms before him, it’s their mother, Sybil, a lonely and discarded wife, who evokes first his sympathy and then stokes his lustful fires.
    As Stephen introduces Sybil to every pleasure she’s been deprived of, duty and passion become a deep and mutual love. But with the unexpected arrival of a contender to the estate, Sybil realises that what she’s set in motion to save the family might have tragic consequences.
    Her Gilded Prison is Book 1 in the Daughters of Sin series, a Regency-set ‘Dynasty’ that follows the sibling rivalry between Viscount Partington’s two nobly-born and his illegitimate daughters as they compete for love during a London Season. Her Gilded Prison can, however, be read as a stand-alone.

    Alien Mate by Cara BristolAlien Mate by Cara Bristol #SciFi #Romance #FreeBookFriday #RLFblog

    I’m Starr Elizabeth Conner. Earth’s government falsely convicted me of a crime, packed me on a ship with other female felons, and sent us to Dakon, a primitive, frozen wasteland of a planet.
    But I’m no barbarian’s ‘mail order bride,’ even if he is super tall, muscular, and the chief of his tribe. He doesn’t want a BBW blonde, either–it’s written all over his chiseled face. He’ll be truly angry if he ever learns what my ‘crime’ was.
    I am Torg. I have waited 34 rotations for a mate of my own. With this shipment, I was sure to get a fine, sturdy mate who’ll bear me many daughters. Instead, I receive a small, curvy, pale-haired female who looks at me with anger and fear.
    It is only when we ‘kiss’ that I believe things may work out between us. But I’m hearing rumors that Starr and her shipmates are law-breakers. To survive, Dakonians must obey all laws … or be exiled into the frozen wasteland. Just when I have found my mate, will I have to banish her?

    Mated to the Pack by Jade AltersMated to the Pack by Jade Alters #PNR #FreeBookFriday #RLFblog

    Vivian was thankful for everything her wealthy Aunt left her.
    Until she found out that also meant she’s now responsible for that old run down mansion she grew up playing in.
    She would keep it, but she would go bankrupt; she would sell it, but there’s no one out there to buy it.
    That’s when four super-hot and mysterious renters show up to save the day.
    They’ve got more big secrets than she can handle though, the biggest of which might be why she’s finding herself drawn to each of them.
    Call it nature.
    Call it instinct.
    Whatever it is, this pack has found its mate, and the only question is going to be whether Viv can handle being mated to this pack.

    Whole Lotta Love by Luanna Stewart#FreeBookFriday #RLFblog Whole Lotta Love by Luanna Stewart #Contemporary

    Lotta has a few days to get her bakery up and running, otherwise she’ll let down her best friend days before her wedding. But that means talking to an old high school crush, the cutest handyman in town. Baking bread and hanging out with her dog is much safer.
    Mitch is high and dry with a broken leg so can’t help run the family fishing business. To keep from going stir crazy he straps on his tool belt – he can still pound a few nails. His customer is the shy girl from chemistry class, now a sensual woman with a sweet smile, though she still doesn’t say much. But what Mitch has in mind doesn’t involve a lot of talking.
    While Lotta struggles to bake all the sweets, Mitch becomes interested in nibbling more than just her cookies.
