Time for the Tall Ships! I remember hearing about them in NY Harbor during the bicentennial, so when I heard they were back—and you could take a boat out to see them—I knew I had to go. Fireworks last night, more tonight, and a perfect Jersey Shore summer weekend ahead. Loving this 250th birthday celebration! P.S. Want a taste of Shore life?

Happy National Chocolate Pudding Day! Some of my fondest memories are of my grandmother making chocolate pudding and letting me clean out what was left in the pot. She made the best puddings. Actually, she was a fabulous cook. She could make anything taste great, even a mishmash of leftovers. I loved watching her and my mother cook. I think it’s why my sister and I love to cook and are relatively good cooks. My sister is still in the running in her group, and you can vote for her at https://favchef.com/2026/carmen-morfe. Apparently, the voting goes on for another round until only the top chef in each group will advance. So it seems that between now and July 9, you can vote, and then the top chef in each group advances for several rounds. Seems like a really long process. P.S. If you love romances with chefs, check out SOUTH BEACH LOVE, the novel that inspired a Hallmark Channel Original Movie. It’s specially priced at 99 cents at https://amzn.to/3QDyUSB. Or if you’re in the mood for something more spicy, how about a Jersey Shore romance with Chef Carlo? Grab your copy of NEVER A BRIDE at https://amzn.to/44pa2Bk.
Happy Friday! Hubby and I love baseball and love going to a fun baseball game! We’re not far from a local minor league ballpark and will go to watch a game. That night, we scored $2 seats to see the Blue Claws play an Orioles affiliate. We always enjoy it because they have giveaways and a mascot run. In homage to a true New Jersey favorite, the mascots are pork roll, egg, and cheese. For all the North Jersey folks, Taylor Ham is pork roll, but not all pork roll is Taylor Ham. It’s an ongoing battle between North and South Jerseyans. If you love baseball as much as I do, but also love romance novels, check out my Marauders baseball romances. They are free on Kindle Unlimited or only 99 cents each! Grab your copies today at https://amzn.to/4vqpngY.

Second chances, surprising revelations, and sweet, unexpected love go hand-in-hand in the tiny lakeside town at the heart of this charming series from New York Times bestselling author Lori Foster.
When Pixie Nolan first came to Bramble, Kentucky, the abandoned and desperate young single mother found hope, healing, and a fresh start. With the loving support of her best friends—Marlow Heddings and her handsome Marine husband, Cort—Pixie is now happily raising her toddler son in a cozy cottage, managing Marlow’s thriving boutique, and designing firefly logo t-shirts that are selling like hotcakes. The past is behind her, and life is good.
She never expected to make an electrifying connection with a summer renter, a retired Navy SEAL with his own complicated past . . .
A rugged warrior with scars both seen and unseen, Brogan Rafferty arrives with an adorable baby girl in tow and settles into the lake house next door. And while he’s a stunning addition to the gorgeous scenery, it’s his caring devotion that captures Pixie’s heart—the way he gently snuggles away the precious infant’s cries, or swoops Pixie’s delighted little boy high in the air with his tattooed, muscular arms.
But it’s no coincidence that Brogan has found Pixie, and his startling revelations make it clear she’s the key to healing old regrets and building new dreams. And when a hostile stranger turns up with shocking accusations against Bramble’s new hometown hero, Pixie must put her own fears and heartbreak away for good—and learn what it truly means to trust.
