You’ve heard the story about the wedding planner who falls for the groom?

Well, this is the one where she falls for his father.

And that groom? He’s my ex.

TEMPT, an all-new scorching hot age gap, forbidden, small town romance, featuring a plus-sized heroine and her ex’s irresistible dad from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow, is now available!

I didn’t realize who the gruff, gorgeous older man was the night he rescued me from a creep in a Manhattan hotel bar. All I knew was that a hot, bearded stranger with a protective streak showed up right when I needed a reminder that real gentlemen still exist.

(Although he left his manners behind after asking me up to his room.)

It was the hottest night of my life, but I never thought I’d see the former Navy SEAL again.

Imagine my surprise at the rehearsal dinner one week later, when my sexy one-night stand is introduced as the father of the groom. Even more surprising? That temptation we felt in New York was no fluke.

In public, we pretend there’s nothing between us.

In private, we can’t keep our hands off each other.

The situation is beyond complicated. Zach never even knew he’d fathered a child until recently, and he wants to earn his son’s trust and respect. As for me, I’m looking for a man who wants to start a family, and Zach has made it clear he’s not that man. He’s fifteen years older, newly divorced, and he lives across the country.

But no matter how many times we draw the line, we keep crossing it.

Nothing so wrong should ever feel so right.

Working as a nanny for the world’s grumpiest single dad should have been simple. Except I can’t keep my eyes off him. And he can’t keep his hands off of me.

Cade Eaton is thirteen years older than I am and barely looks my way. Until I get him into the hot tub one night for a game of truth or dare. Then all bets are off—and so are our clothes.

He’s gruff, a little rough around the edges. But broad-shouldered ranchers with calloused hands and filthy mouths are this city girl’s kryptonite. So who am I to resist?

But it’s in our quiet moments together that he softens. It’s when he takes care of me that I realize his hardened exterior is just a façade. It’s when I watch him go all sweet with his little boy that I really fall for him.

Someone convinced him once that his best wasn’t good enough. But I’ve never felt more cherished than I do in his arms.

My contract may say this arrangement is only for two months.

But my heart says this is forever.

                                             Review:

                                                                       5 stars

Elsie Silver really did THAT! I’ve read all of Elsie’s books and I always think she can’t top her last release but she goes ahead and blows me away each time. I was so excited to read Heartless (I love a grumpy single dad) and it did NOT disappoint in any way. 

This book is amazing. I loved Willa and Cade straight away. Their chemistry is so strong and flies off the page. Cade Eaton is looking for a nanny for his son, Luke, while he works/runs his family farm all summer. He doesn’t like anyone who applies so his brother’s fiancé, Summer, suggests her best friend who has come to town for the job. Cade isn’t excited about this, she’s thirteen years younger than his 38 but he trusts Summer’s word and decides to give Willa a chance. 

Willa doesn’t have much experience with kids but the moment she meets Luke, she knows he’s special and they develop a connection straight away. The relationship between Willa and Luke is amazing and I really loved reading about them. 

Cade has been burned before and just wants to focus on work and his kid, but Willa comes into his life and he can’t resist her. His grumpy defensive walls start to slowly break down every time he sees Willa smile. They’re so perfect together, their banter is hilarious and you honestly can’t go wrong. When they finally give in, it’s intense and so hot. 

I love everything about this book and honestly can’t find any fault with it. Willa and Cade’s meet cute is perfect and their chemistry burns hot the whole book. Everything flows and Elsie has a gift of making you feel like you’re there watching everything play out in front of you. I feel like I’m part of the Eaton family and I LOVE it! I just know this is going to stay one of my top reads of 2022. I am so in love with Willa and Cade’s story.

Review

A False Start is the final book in the Gold Rush Ranch series and what an ending it was! Nadia and Griffin have both been through a lot in their lives which makes their story more delicate. 

Griffin is Nadia’s brothers best friend but when they first meet, neither of them know who the other is. Griff is the ultimate grumpy hero while Nadia is super fierce and doesn’t take anything lying down. They’ve tried to hate each other and stay away from each other but that is not always possible. Their chemistry is burning bright and they can’t ignore it forever. Griffin likes to be in his house up on the mountains alone so it was great to see him slowly let Nadia in. 

I love Nadia and Griffin together, from the outside they might not look like they would work together but they are perfect for each other. I really loved them together and thought this book was amazing. 

Griffin was EVERYTHING! This man hardly speaks but as soon as he does… the words he says are just INCREDIBLE! 

Elsie has written the perfect mix of steam and punch you in the gut emotion. The build up of Nadia and Griffin’s relationship was perfect. Elsie did not disappoint! A False Start is the perfect steamy and emotional small town romance. This is such a great story about the love between two people but also about coming back from trauma and loving yourself and letting yourself have a second chance to be happy. 

*ARC kindly received from the author in exchange for an honest review* 

She loves cooking and trying new foods, traveling, and spending time with her boys–especially outdoors. Elsie has also become a big fan of her quiet five am mornings, which is when most of her writing happens. It’s during this time that she can sip a cup of hot coffee and dream up a fictional world full of romantic stories to share with her readers.

Blurb:

Chemistry is not another word for love.

That’s what my boss, the grumpy single dad with brilliant green eyes, says anyway.

I have my V-card. He’s ten years older than me. I work for him.

Nate Hughes has a million reasons why a relationship between us would never work. Honestly? It’s all a farce.

He can’t deny the sparks when we’re together. His soft smiles, brief touches, and protective behaviors come too easily. And when I need a place to stay? He can’t stop himself from offering me a room—though I’d prefer his bed.

Our forced proximity brings things to a head. Our shared experiences and traumas draw us closer. Our undeniable attraction has us toeing the line between friends and lovers—whether Nate likes it or not.

He’s right—we do have an intense chemistry. But that doesn’t mean that I won’t fall in love with him … even if he can’t love me back.

SWEET can be read as a standalone novel. 

“This is the funniest setup I’ve read all year! You’ll be cheering for Winnie and Dex!”

—Sarina Bowen, USA Today bestselling author

Ignite, an all-new sexy, grumpy single dad meets the sunshine girl next door romantic comedy from USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author Melanie Harlow, is now live!

BLURB

My new neighbor is a firefighter—and a scorching hot single dad—but I swear I didn’t set off that smoke alarm on purpose.

(And I was beyond mortified when he rushed in and saw me naked.)

Nothing happened, of course—because I, Winnie MacAllister, romance junkie and owner of a constantly broken heart, have sworn off men for one solid year.

Even protective men with chiseled jaws, bulging biceps, and deep brown eyes that make my breath come faster. Even former SEALs with broad chests and strong hands that make my skin sizzle. Even gorgeous, grumpy guys who have their hands full raising two adorable little girls and claim they don’t believe in love.

Until Dex kisses me one night, and I drop all my defenses.

(Also my underwear.)

He says he’s not gentle, and he’s right. He says I should take the dream job I’m offered in another state, and he’s right. He says he’s too old for me and could never be the man I deserve.

He’s wrong.

Dex and I might be twelve years apart, but the fire between us is the kind that will never burn out.

How can I convince him to give happily-ever-after with me a chance?

Audio Coming Soon, narrated by Stephen Dexter & Kirsten Leigh

REVIEW 

4.5 stars for Ignite! 

I was so excited to go back to Cloverleigh Farms and Ignite didn’t disappoint. We meet the grumpy firefighter, Dex Matthews. He’s 34 and an ex SEAL and also a single dad of two girls…. Cue the swoon, right? 

Winnie is 22 years old and has always been addicted to love. She loves the idea of it and falls in love super fast. She just had a failed engagement so she’s sworn off men and falling in love for the foreseeable future thanks to a bet with her friend. 

Dex and Winnie meet when Dex moves next-door to Winnie and their attraction is instant. Although they both fight it at the start, it’s undeniable and before they know it, they can’t resist each other anymore. 

This is definitely in the grumpy/sunshine category which is one of my all time fave tropes. If you’ve read the rest of the Cloverleigh books then you’ll be able to see the parallels of Ignite and book number one, Irresistible, which is the book about Winnie’s parents…. I loved this so much and I loved the way the book mentioned them with humour surrounding it. 

This was a super cute read with the spice thrown in. I really liked the way Winnie and Dex came together and Dex’s girls are hilarious and Dex is such a great dad. This book is pretty love angst, which I loved. I just needed a cute small town romance book and this hit the spot. 

Winnie and Dex’s chemistry was great and I loved reading their story and seeing how they found a place in each others world. 

If you’re looking for a cute grumpy/sunshine romance, then this one is for you!
