The Cottonwood Cove series is one of my favorites! I love all the characters and getting to see them in the other books. I was so glad to be back in their world. 


I laughed so much my cheeks would hurt. There plenty of sweet and steamy moments. Before the Sunset was exactly what I hoped and more. 


She did it again! Must read!

I have just recently discovered this author and I’m so glad I did. This author has got me hooked! I cannot wait to read more of her work.

I haven’t read the other books in this series so I’m looking forward to going back and reading them. I enjoyed the story and the characters. The Rebound was a must read.

I just adore this series and the small town feel. Hunter was one character I was excited to read about. His story was so fun and so different than I expected. 


I loved the aspect of the reality dating show. Made me think of shows I’ve watched in the past and how invested I’d get in them. Hunter and Kipton were made for each other. The instant chemistry these two have and the friendship they form made me love them even more. 


Brave Enough was a fast paced, grab your attention read. Loved it!

Loved this book so much! The Love Plot was such a fun read. I enjoyed the characters and the banter. I loved Star and Rafe. 


The first time these two meet Rafe isn’t the nicest person. I loved their second encounter and Star’s free spirit. She kept me laughing. These two don’t have much in common so it was interesting watching the fake dating play out. 

These two had major chemistry and were so cute! 


I loved this book so much!

Cover Reveal: I Wish I Knew Then by Jessica Peterson

 






Jessica Peterson has revealed the gorgeous cover for I Wish I Knew Then!

 

Releasing: October 5, 2023

Cover Design: Najla Qamber, Qamber Designs

 

My grandmother has a saying: what's done in the dark always comes to light, especially in small towns with big secrets. And I was hiding the biggest secret of them all.

Every summer I spent growing up at my grandparents' coastal estate was the same. Same cousins. Same chaos. Same long golf cart rides along the beach.

But everything changed the summer I turned eighteen, when my grandparents' new housekeeper moved in with her son, Riley. With his big personality and head-turning looks, he was the local heartthrob.

We fell in love instantly. Riley was my first everything. First love. First time.

And my first heartbreak when he dumped me at the end of the summer.

Ten years later, I'm back on the island for my best friend's wedding as her maid of honor. Who's the first person I literally stumble into?

Riley Dixon. Even worse? He's the groom's best man.

Being forced to spend an entire week together for wedding festivities quickly leads to more: hot hate sex, late nights of sneaking out, and unexpected revelations. The boy I knew a decade ago is gone, and the hate becomes...something else entirely. And I begin to wonder if Riley is hiding some secrets of his own.


I WISH I KNEW THEN is a small town, second chance romance set on the coast of North Carolina. It is a standalone novel coming October 5, 2023 to KindleUnlimited!
