April 2024

what's new?

There are so many new books coming this season! Book Three of the new winter chalet series just released last week. These gruff loners enjoy their annual getaway with great food, whisky, and books. Little do they know, the staff this winter are all sweet young ladies who are just perfect for them!

I hope that you've joined the email list above - I'm trying to cut down to maybe 2-3 emails a month instead of weekly. New releases, cool books from fellow authors, discounts, new/discount/freebie book lists and more. (I often hide the pink discount buttons at the bottom because I think secrets are amusing.)

Don't miss the freebie section at the bottom of the Books page. You'll also notice that there is a new Paperbacks section. It's under construction, but should be steadily filling up.

THE LATEST RELEASES

Jan 24 - Timeless Valentine (she has no time to date, but he's determined she won't spend this holiday alone)

Feb 5 - Unlikely Match (a Matchmaker, a Valentine contest, and instant love!)

Feb 28 - Snow Drift - Wolfe Mountain Chalet Book Two (Sexy snuggling during a brutal winter storm)

March 27 - Cold Snap - Wolfe Mountain Chalet Book Three (the steamy end to an extra romantic series!)

COMING LATER IN 2024:

A sexy grumpy mountain man series, and another workman collab in July! 

Thanks so much for dropping in!

THE OBLIGATORY AUTHOR BIO

haley travis, in a nutshell

Romance author Haley Travis lives in a charming (old and rundown) little house with an old fashioned (overgrown and crazy) garden and just the right amount of books (six giant overstuffed shelves, the floor is starting to creak). She enjoys writing quirky, sexy modern romance, and loves creating interesting female characters who are at a turning point in their lives. Women who need a life shake up, not a man. But these things never go as planned, do they?

REVIEWS OF RECENT BOOKS

what people are saying...

Review Fragments for Cold Snap

- Absolute PERFECTION is how I would describe this book…

- Best Book Boyfriend! ... Talk about hot! I’ve enjoyed the previous two books in this series as well but I think the author saved the best for last. I’m not sure if a man like Baz actually exists but, even if he doesn’t, THIS Baz will always be one of my favorite book boyfriends, one by which all other bbf’s will be measured against.

- Baz’s adorableness will make you melt. He doesn’t know how to woo a woman but he sure knows what to say to make a woman swoon! He’s effortlessly and sweetly romantic — snowman Fred melted me faster than a snowball in July.

- This is a great mountain man/curvy girl insta-romance…sweet and sexy, addictive and fun-to-read..

- …just so funny from their first hello to the way they fall head over heels…

- Baz and Rosa sizzle with chemistry…

- Wow, what a sweet story! 

Review Fragments for Unlikely Match

- HOT, HOT, HOT read by Haley that you need to read today and not wait any longer. Jewel will have your heart ache for her because she is struggling and not looking for any type of romance or love. So, when she enters a contest look out because things are about to get steamy and change. She isn't sure if it's real or still part of the contest. Alex and Jewel are two really great characters that make you smile because the book is just that darn good.

- The meet cute and interactions for their blind date draw you in and holds you until the end. There are some pretty steamy moments that are fire. Loved it!! Simple and hot feel good read!!!

- This is a cute, fun, fast packed adventure with two people who have just met on a dating competition.. ...  I loved this story, the characters are great, it's perfect amount of steam and a fun unique valentine read. Loved it.

- I loved how these two meet and how each character was entering in this contest for different reasons but ends up finding the best thing in life a partner to complete them. Truly a romantic valentines love story.

Review Fragments for Thin Ice

- ... captivating from beginning to end.
- I can honestly say it was a 110% read.
- It's a good balance between sweet, spicy, and deep emotions/conversations.
- I laughed at how well these two fell fast and hard for each other and couldn't stop reading this story. I can't wait for the next book.

Review Fragments for Fresh Chemistry

- I LOVED this story! Even though it’s a novella, I felt like there was so much more! I loved both of the characters, too. Mark was so realistic and devoted to Nicola. She’s a little unsure of his feelings but so hopeful.

- I loved Mark. He was SO dreamy! 😍 I loved how he was from the very second he saw Nicola again. They were both completely starstruck with each other it was so incredibly sweet. Their chemistry together was crazy, through the roof hot. ... It was absolutely perfect and I have to say one of my top favorites from Haley.

- I loved how the characters had their doubts and fears about where their relationship - if there even was one - was going. Both seemed like real people with real problems.

Review Fragments for The Lumberjack's Quirky Girl:

- There are some stories that after a few lines you know this is going to be an amazing read. The story is fun, flirty, colorful. Filled with good vibes and instant love. The characters, Elise and Braden are fun loving, down to earth and a dang cute couple...The story is sweet, tender, loving, passionate and filled with romance and love. I can’t wait for the next one! 

- LOVEEEE   This book was absolute perfection I couldn’t get enough I didn’t stop reading until I got to the end! The whole family dynamic was amazing aside from the horrible uncle can’t wait for more of the series to come out!!!

- Absolutely loved the story. Elise is an artist through and through and I loved her quirky side.

- Elise knows she's different and doesn't fit the "normal" mode (her parents told her often enough), so when a handsome "normal" man starts paying attention to her she's taken aback. But she likes it! 🤗 I loved how Braden just seemed to accept and dive right into her quirkiness. He gave her complete acceptance.

- This is a story about accepting a person for who they are and not for the way society claims they should be.

- Elise is the quirky girl in town and when Braden meets her by chance when she’s on her break he’s hooked. This was such a cute yet hot read and a great way to start off a new series. 

- Great introduction to the Oakley family. Loved Elise and Braden from the get go. Their immediate comfort and intrigue with each other made me want to root for them!

Review Fragments for Her The Bodybuilder's Shy Girl:

- An OTT instalove romance between a bodybuilder and the shy new receptionist at his gym. This book definitely puts the instant in instalove with a heated kiss moments after first meeting. Luckily it’s definitely love and he wants all her firsts, her nexts, and her lasts. Caleb and Brianna are fantastic characters and I really enjoyed the way Caleb came along and wanted to take care of her.
- These two characters are just so dang cute. Caleb seems like a sweetheart. The story has some steam, heart thumping, passionate and filled with instant attraction/instant love.
- This was wonderful. I loved Caleb. He was strong and tough, yet sweet and gentle with Brianna. They definitely brought out the best in each other. I also loved getting to see more of Adam's back story. I love when books overlap and you get more and more of the author created world. I adore Haley's Oakton/Mackton world.
- I always thought the idea of instalove would turn me off since most of the time that is not the way it happens in real life, but for some reason with these stories, it has me believing that anything is possible in the real world. Plus, when you throw in the spice and the obvious chemistry between the two main characters, you really can't lose.

Review Fragments for Her New Bodyguard: Jackson:

- Nobody writes a protective alpha male like Haley Travis! Jackson will make you swoon with his protective side, his sweet side, his controlling side, and his steamy side.
- It is engaging, funny, steamy, fast-paced, and well written with kidnapping, danger, likeable characters, instant chemistry, and more. Definitely recommended!
- This book is absolutely fantastic and had me enthralled from the beginning until the end
- A great new series. I loved everything about this one. Intense, great characters that will leave you only wanting more!

Review Fragments for Mr. Right... On Time:
- I have long been a fan of Haley Travis' sweet and hot romances, and once again, she's hit the mark here! Her characters of Dana, a free spirited barista, and Asher, an uptight stockbroker, seem an unlikely pairing at first, but once their chemistry bursts off the page, you can see that they are in for a wild but satisfying ride throughout the book ...  here she creates such vivid characters, they almost leap from the page. If you're in the mood for a romantic, sexy, quick read, you can't do better than a book by Haley Travis!
- I have been following this series, and the story of Dana and Asher is my favorite so far! In addition to refreshing settings, this romance has protagonists of interesting personalities and lifestyle. It was a cute fun read!

Review Fragments for Never Tease the Boss:
- I can always count on this author for a well written, satisfying romance, and the story of Jeremy and Amelia is no exception. Amelia is such a down to earth, refreshing female character, I can't help but root for her. It is an amazing office romance!
- Omg this book was absolutely fantastic and had me hooked from the beginning... I absolutely fell in with the characters.
- Jeremy and Amelia have steam, sizzle. They click, they fit, they go together.
- Haley Travis' latest release is so freakin dang hot!
- I thought this novella was sweet, and really loved Jeremy and Amelia as they are so adorable together.
- I loved the passion and the fire that these two share. A really good story!

Review Fragments for Fake Summer Boyfriend:
- Ohhh this book was like a warm hug, absolutely loved it from start to finish! Such a little gem!
- I was just going to read a little before going to the store, but Hayden and Leifs story drew me in and would not let me go till I finished it! I loved their story!
- Leif is just so adorable, funny, sexy, kind, strong, gentle, respectful and loving *sigh*, he was such a good character and just what Hayden needed in her life.
- Leif and Hayden will have you in their corner cheering them on to finding happiness.

Review Fragments for Hired by Pirates:
- I think I love Haley Travis' historical pieces more than her contemporary stuff! I hated having to put this down when it was time for me to go to work.
- This twisty little charmer was fun to read.
- This is a very fun age gap pirate romance. It is cute and steamy, with lovable characters.
- Excellent story full of detail and expressions.
- The story-line is just a lot of light and quirky fun romance with action and adventure woven in.
- What a fun read! This story may be outrageous, but it will certainly grab your interest. You won’t be able to put this book down. There’s all the elements of weather and weathering life on a ship with a group of men. Sounds exciting and it is. Nothing dull in this book! Love the romance and how the Captain and Astor manage to balance out their lives. All I can say is: Haley Travis - write more pirate stories!
