Book Description:

“A captivating story… richly woven narrative with vivid characters. A perfect story."

From the bestselling author of The Storyteller’s Secret comes an unflinching exploration of betrayal, forgiveness, and the healing power of a second chance.

Celine’s life is spiraling out of control. She’s in danger of losing the beloved equestrian farm that was her childhood home. Her distant husband, Eric, is devoting a suspicious amount of time to a stunning new colleague. Then her young son, Brian, receives a devastating cancer diagnosis. How much worse can things get?

Felicity has uprooted her career and her teenage son, Justin, to get closer to Eric. She’s tired of keeping his secrets―that Eric’s frequent “business trips” have been spent playing family with them. Felicity is determined to get her happily ever after, even if it means confronting Celine at a delicate time.

But when Brian’s prognosis worsens, and a transplant from Justin becomes his best chance at survival, Felicity must make a wrenching decision about her son’s well-being―and Celine must accept that the “other woman” is her only hope. In another life Celine and Felicity might have been friends. Can they put aside the pain between them to do what’s best for their families―and their own futures?

THE THIRD RING

The Third Ring
A.N. Horton
Publication date: April 15th 2025
Genres: Adult, Romance, Urban Fantasy

Ten Trials. Two Oaths. One Chance.

To Adrian, the gods were never anything to be worshipped, just tolerated. But in the walled city of Sanctuary, whether through the religious fervor of the elite or the quaking fear of the poor, the Geist have always been served. And now it’s Adrian’s turn.

Born into power and raised for greatness, Dante stands for everything Adrian has come to despise, but he may be her only hope of survival. When the two of them are bonded against their will and forced to compete together in the Trials, the god’s ancient gauntlet of physical brutality and psychological torture, they have no choice but to set aside old prejudices and work together. Navigating religious zealots, a patriarch intent on breeding the pair for power, and the increasingly obvious cruelty of the gods, Adrian must come to terms with the fact that, whether Culled or Championed, we all serve the gods in the end. And, for her, betrayal has always been waiting just around the corner.

SNEAK PEEK:

“He told me to seduce you,” he confessed, and I couldn’t help the laughter that burst out of me. His own lips quirked up into a smirk, amusement dancing in his bright eyes.
“I hate to break it to you,” I replied, still laughing, “but you’re shit at it.”
He laughed then too, a loud burst that had me grinning.
“I told him seducing you would be like trying to seduce one of the ancient serpentine beasts. But he only said that made you a true Viper.”

Book Review: Replay by L.A. Shaw

Replay (The Playbook #1)Replay by L.A. Shaw
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Replay by L.A. Shaw: A Heartfelt Second-Chance Romance Through Football

In Replay, L.A. Shaw takes readers on an emotional journey into the heart of love, loss, and redemption, all set against the electrifying backdrop of professional football. The novel opens with Nate, the once-dominant quarterback whose career is jeopardized by a devastating injury. Forced to watch his dreams slip through his fingers, till he is invited to play for another team. Here Nate finds himself at a crossroads—personally and professionally.

Enter Berkley, Nate's college sweetheart and the woman from whom he had walked away years ago. Their reunion is anything but simple, as old wounds and unspoken truths resurface, creating tension that is palpable and deeply human. The chemistry between Nate and Berkley isn’t just electric—it’s the stuff of slow-burn romance perfection.

Through Shaw's vivid storytelling, the world of football leaps off the page. From the sound of cleats on turf to the roar of a stadium crowd, you’re immersed in the high-stakes world of gridiron glory. But beneath the surface, it’s the interplay of emotions—jealousy, hope, heartbreak—that truly shines. Shaw balances the thrill of sports action with the vulnerability of love and second chances, crafting a narrative that is both relatable and inspiring.

Nate and Berkley’s story is a testament to resilience, proving that while life may force us into unexpected replays, it’s never too late to fight for what truly matters. Football fans and romance enthusiasts alike will find themselves rooting for this couple through every twist and turn.

Replay is more than just a sports romance—it’s a reminder of the power of love, perseverance, and the courage to face the past. With its well-paced plot, engaging dialogue, and authentic emotions, this book is a touchdown for readers seeking heartfelt storytelling.
