On the Brink of Bliss by A.L. Jackson Review & Release Blitz!

 On the Brink of Bliss by A.L. Jackson is now live!

A sizzling single mom, fake marriage, heroine in danger romance from New York Times & USA Today Bestselling author, A.L. Jackson

The last thing I expected when I found the trespasser bathing in my river was for it to be her…

Daisy Adair has always been my dream girl. From when we were best friends in high school to finding her now.

A gorgeous mother who shows up on my property with three kids in tow.

But I became a recluse for a reason.

The life I chose is full of wickedness and peril. The last thing I need is the object of my every fantasy invading my space and risking her life because of me. 

Only when she tells me she’s on the run from her ex, I promise to do anything to keep them safe, even marry her to protect her kids. 

That single kiss at the altar rips through every barrier, our passion unleashed.

Now, living under the same roof blurs the lines I’ve drawn.

Each glance of her down the hall and I am splintering.

Each brush of her hand and I am brought to my knees.

Our future—bright, hopeful, and almost within reach—hovers on the edge of becoming real…

Until we discover the threat surrounding her is grimmer than either of us imagined.

Now I’m fighting to save her and her children before our second chance at forever is burned to the ground…

Review:

Man oh man am I a sucker for a broken man who finds the girl who might help him heal 🥵

Cash freaking Cunningham. The man who has eluded all of the Moonlit Ridge faithfuls for the entirety of this series. I have been so curious about him and his story from book ONE. He’s always been so elusive, so self isolated, so shrouded in mystery and disdain for any of his brothers who may have found their happily ever after through hell or high water. I was SO ready to see him succumb to some feelings and I knew it was going to have to be a very special girl to do it. 

Enter, Daisy. She’s so freaking cute and pure and the sweetest girl to melt Cash’s seemingly cold heart. She stumbles over her words, her feet, her thoughts, but there are a few things she’s absolutely sure of: she loves her children fiercely and she implicitly trusts Cash to protect them. She learns of Cash’s complicated calling and it doesn’t phase her a bit because she knows his heart is good and his intentions are pure. 

I honestly usually have a favorite in a book or especially even a series, but this series that is so hard to do. I honestly don’t even think I can pick a boy or girl character who’s my favorite. There are things about each main character individual in each of these stories that resonant with me and speak to my soul!  I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in Moonlit Ridge with this perfectly imperfect family and I am sad to see it go, but relieved to know we’ll still get glimpses of them in the next series. I’m also going to hold out hope for a next generation series of all of these Moonlit Ridge babies because AMY- you can sure write up a little kid I can’t help but adore!! Nolan, Maci, Finn, Addy, Colin, and freaking adorable Eva- I can’t. I love them all. This series will truly stay with me for a while. Thank you for creating this wonderful fictional world, Amy!

Hart Street Lane by Samantha Young Review & Release Blitz!

 

TITLE: HART STREET LANE (RETURN TO DUBLIN STREET #3)

RELEASE DATE: JAN 15, 2026 

UNIVERSAL LINK: https://geni.us/hartstreetlane

TROPES: sports romance, soccer romance, fake engagement, friends to lovers, forced 

proximity, Scottish hero.

BLURB: 

A steamy fake engagement from New York Times Bestselling Author Samantha Young.

Faking it has never been so hard…

Breaking up with my fiancé wasn’t on my agenda this summer, neither was hiding the truth 

from everyone, including my colleagues at Pennington’s department store. But that tiny 

evasion gets me into trouble when I’m forced to play bride-to-be for our new marketing 

campaign. If my boss finds out I’ve lied to her, it won’t just be my reputation on the line; it’ll 

be my job. 

Enter my new bestie, Baird McMillan. Professional goalkeeper, professional heartbreaker, 

and now my professional fake fiancé. Baird’s public escapades have gotten him on the 

wrong side of his football club’s new owner, and he needs to prove he’s settling down. A 

fake engagement is a win-win for us both.

There’s just one problem. It turns out there’s nothing fake about the explosive connection 

Baird and I share.

I may not have been looking for love, but every moment with Baird tempts me to reach for it. 

Yet just as I start to believe a future together could be a real possibility, our pasts come 

surging back with a vengeance. And with it, those who will do anything to destroy our chance at forever…

Review:

Baird freaking McMillan. I knew from early on in On Loverose Lane (book 1 in this series), Baird NEEDED his own book and I (& so many others) were so right!! Gah! His story was everything I hoped for and more! His character had so much depth for the typical footballer and his feelings for My were like no other! I could feel his love and passion for her through the pages. I knew he would win her heart just through his strong will and perseverance alone. He was SO confident from day 1 of meeting her that she was THE one for him and knew he just needed to convince her. The confidence he exudes in that, in his job, in his overall persona is just so attractive but also knowing he has his vulnerabilities and needing the reassurance only My can give him… be still my beating heart!! Honestly, I thought I loved Callan and countless others of Samantha Young’s fictional male characters but Baird is seriously going to be hard to beat. He truly seems like he’d be the perfect (fictional) partner- someone you can chill with, have fun with, dance with, be silly with, have passion with, count on, etc. And Maia is no different! She has her own struggles from her past but she loves hard and fast and with a vengeance for the right person, just like Baird. When she allows herself to let go and see what she truly wants and deserves, she could pick no better option. She has spent her life being completely selfless but insecure and now has someone who is willing to sacrifice it all for her and will go to the ends of the earth to make her see she is worth everything and more! Omg! I just loved this story. There are SO many twists and turns and you don’t know how it’ll all play out in the end but you definitely know how you hope it does. Overall, this was another incredible installment in the Return to Dublin Street series and I cannot wait for more!! Hoping for John’s story next! 🤞🏻
