I've meant to read Rachael Herron's Cypress Hill Yarn series since I read her contribution to one of my favorite Christmas collections, Love on Main Street: A Snow Creek Christmas. Well, now I have no excuse. Two titles in this series are FREE right now. I'll be searching out the rest of the series to add to my library. You should too. You'll LOVE her!
Cora's Heart: A Cypress Hollow Yarn (The Cypress Hollow Yarns Book 4) by Rachael Herron
From bestselling author, Rachael Herron, comes another funny and sexy romcom set in the sleepy Californian coastal town of Cypress Hollow.
Cora has been hurt too many times, and by one man in particular . . .Abandoned by her mother and widowed in her mid-twenties, Cora Sylvan has learned the hard way that you should take nothing in life for granted. So everything is planned out to the last degree – from how to run her farm on a shoestring to how to survive a major earthquake.
Unfortunately, there's nothing in those notes to cover the return of the infuriatingly handsome Mac Wildwood, her husband's cousin, the man she loved and lost. And Mac, it seems, has a secret plan of his own up his sleeve. Cora Sylvan safeguarded everything – but she didn't protect her heart . . .
Fans of Debbie Macomber and Penny Reid will love this trip into Cypress Hollow, and into love.
Eliza's Home: A Cypress Hollow Novella by Rachael Herron
From bestselling author Rachael Herron comes at long last, Eliza Carpenter’s story.
Home isn’t always a place…
It's 1945, the war is over, the GIs are returning , and Eliza is on the run. At least, she would be if her truck hadn't broken down in the middle of nowhere and her money hadn't, quite literally, flown out the window. So when Joshua Carpenter, a cowboy with the most brilliant blue eyes she has ever seen, stops to offer her help, Eliza can't afford to say no… Joshua, it seems, is single-handedly building a home for himself on farmland just outside the town of Cypress Hollow. And as Eliza is about to discover, sometimes running away is the only way to come home...
Willow James aka Sara Humphreys is one of my fav authors, because her books are fabulously fun and sexy reads. As Willow she's writing even sexier books than her Amoveo Legend series.

The closest thing she has to a relationship is ogling the hottie from the office park who saunters by Stilettos lingerie shop every day on his way to the deli next door. Getting a glimpse of Mr. Wall Street had become the highlight of her work days and he had become the star of her fantasies. However, one Sunday afternoon, fantasy becomes reality when Mr. Wall Street shows up at Stilettos with that sexy, lopsided grin and a tantalizing proposition.
I've never read any of Kristin Miller's contemporary titles. (BAD on me!) BUT I love her paranormal series, the Seattle Wolf Pack (see $0.99 offer below). So, I'm going to check out her Blue Lake series with this title that sounds perfect for a summer day!
Crazy in Love (Contemporary Romance) (Blue Lake Series)
Historical inn owner Rachael McCoy has one simple rule: Don’t date guests. Ever.
After having her heart broken by a string of sweet-talking visitors, Rachael has learned her lesson. But when dangerously sexy rock star Cole Turner rolls into town and rents every room in her hotel, she starts to rethink her rule. Cole’s a rumored playboy with a sordid past, yet his touch is sinfully sweet…
Rock star and self-proclaimed sex god Cole Turner lives by a simple decree: There are no rules in love or rock and roll.
One week after botching his performance in Houston, Cole needs a quiet place to regain focus. All he wants to do is lay low and nail his two-concert show outside of Blue Lake, though a hot and heavy fling with the seductive innkeeper wouldn’t hurt. But the stubborn little vixen denies his advances, and the more he gets to know her, the more he’s determined to make her his.
As desire flames into something more intense, will the two unlikely lovers be able to bridge a gap to happy ever after?
