This is for charity. This is for fun. You are a professional. You can do it.

Those are the words that Calloway Alvarez chants to herself as she watches all the large men gather into the small room where she’ll be doing the interviews for her employer—Hero Magazine.

Honestly, she’s convinced herself that she can’t accomplish the task at hand.

That is until she hears his voice, and her head turns to see him standing there.

Louis Spurlock. Greek god. SWAT officer. Keeper of her secrets. Ultimate fantasy. Man who will break her heart.
***
Louis Spurlock has been playing nice.

He’s been biding his time, giving Calloway the space she thinks she needs.

But then he sees her taking photos of his friends in all states of undress, talking to them all as if they’re best friends, and that little thread of control he’d been managing to hold onto unravels.

Let’s change it up, she says. And the moment the words are out of her mouth, he’s stripping to his skivvies, and throwing out a challenge while he’s at it.

Calloway won’t know what hit her when he’s through playing.

But he does know one thing for sure. When it ends, she’ll be his.

 

They say you never forget your first love! With book five in her delicious KPD SWAT Generation 2.0 series Lani Lynn Vale delights her readers with Louis and Calloway’s story and it’s a knock out!

Calloway is attention grabbing from the very first page when she has her teenage heart broken by the one man she thought she could always trust. She’s never forgotten … and she’s never forgiven.

Louis is such a nice guy! Watching him final get his foot back in the door with her is so rewarding, and watching him move into protection mode for his woman is sexy.

I highly recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who enjoys steamy cop romance with a close-knit group of family and friends. There’s always a bit of intrigue in each story and these characters are just so easy to become addicted to. Looking forward to the next book in the series!

He’s about to find a baby on his doorstep … and his assistant in his bed.

Austin Prescott is a lot of things. Ex football player. Sports agent. And as of this morning? Father. Finding a baby on his doorstep should have been a joke but the pink sticky note and baby carrier she came in is deadly serious.

What’s an out of his depth bachelor to do? Call his tempting and beyond gorgeous executive assistant and beg her to move in.

Quinnlyn Stone agrees to help Austin until he can straighten out his messy life. It’s just another item on her very long To-Do list. It’s absolutely not because she’s attracted to her very single and extremely handsome boss.

Close quarters. A baby. Undeniable chemistry. What could possibly go wrong?

 

Temptation at it’s best! With the first book in her highly anticipated Dare Nation series, Carly Phillips kicks off a new branch of her infamous Dare family in a sports agency setting, and it’s delightful!

Austin Prescott carries his tough guy persona well, but underneath he has a heart of gold. When a baby is suddenly left on his doorstep, he doesn’t hesitate to take her in and call in reinforcements to help him care for her while figuring out what’s going on.

Quinnlyn Stone is a fun character. She’s accomplished and really good at her job, and even though attraction has flared between them since the day Austin hired her to be his assistant, they’ve done well at ignoring it … for the most part. The vision of him with a sweet baby in his arms just might do her in!

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a fast paced joy of a read! The characters are easy to connect with, the plot is intriguing and the supporting cast is setting up a nice lead in to the next book in the series. I can’t wait!

He's vowed to protect her. No matter the cost.

Xander Holt loves working for the Royal Protectors. As one of the official bodyguards to the royal family of Limaj, he lives in a palace, makes more money than he ever has before, and works with the best of the best. The only catch— the person he’s assigned to protect hates his guts. Fine by him, it’s easier that way.

Life hasn’t always been a fairytale for Princess Elen Gustaffson. She finally has her family back after more than a decade in exile, but her new reality isn’t much better. The only thing worse than being on lockdown... having a hot bodyguard assigned to protect her around the clock.

As Xander and Elen butt heads, they find their undeniable attraction impossible to resist— even though it breaks all the rules. When an old enemy resurfaces, threatening Elen, Xander is willing to burn down the whole country to eliminate him, and save the princess. His princess.

The question is, can he do it in time?

 

Attraction that won’t be denied! With book two in her Royal Protectors series, Kat Mizera brings us Princess Elen’s story in XANDER. While still a large group of characters to keep straight, this one flowed easier than the first in the series and held my attention throughout. I really enjoyed the depth of their connection and watching them fall even as they fought it. Looking forward to more in the series!

Xander Holt wants nothing more than to play his part in protecting the royal family of Limaj as a member of the Royal Protectors security team, but his main charge is fighting him at every turn!

Elen Gustaffson might be a princess, but lately life is anything but a fairy tale as pressures of her family and job continue to press in on her and leave her only the outlet of hating on her bodyguard as a pressure release … only she soon realizes loving on him is a much more pleasant release!

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a fast-paced romance filled with tension and suspense with a twist of modern day royalty mixed in.

About the Author:

USA Today Bestselling and award-winning author Kat Mizera is a South Florida native. Born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust, she’s called Los Angeles, Long Island, upstate New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Atlanta home. She’s never been able to pick which locale is her favorite, but if pressed, she’d probably choose the west coast.

A typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max), Kat can usually be found scrapbooking or indulging in her second love (after writing) – traveling. Greece is one of her favorite places in the world. She loves that Athens is a big city with a small-town feel. The food, beaches and culture keep her going back as often as possible.

Kat’s been a working freelance writer for nearly 30 years. She sold her first article–a review of a rock concert–for $10 in 1985. Since then she’s been an entertainment journalist, waitress, bartender, legal assistant, food critic, magazine editor, substitute teacher, and sports writer. She also spent some time working at A & M Records in Los Angeles.

As you can guess from her Las Vegas Sidewinders series, Kat loves hockey and occasionally writes articles about her favorite team, the Florida Panthers. The rest of the time, she writes novels: sexy, romantic fiction that she hopes makes you as happy as it makes her. There’s something enticing about hockey players and romance…

five-stars

There’s a reason they call me Wylde and it’s not just because it’s my last name.

I might be one of the newest players on the Arizona Vengeance team, but I’m no stranger to the celebrity that goes along with being a professional hockey player. Whether it’s a fan seeking an autograph or a puck bunny looking for more, I’ve grown used to the attention. I not only thrive on it; I use it to my advantage. Let’s just say my bed is rarely empty.

When a quirky redhead at the local bookstore stops me dead in my tracks, I decide to pop in and turn on the trusty Wylde magic. As smart and strong-willed as she is beautiful, Clarke Webber isn’t swayed by my witty banter or charming good looks. And when she realizes who I am and the fame that comes along with it, she likes me even less. Thankfully, I’m always up for a challenge. The more I get to know about her, the more I know my playboy days are behind me.

If I’m going to capture Clarke’s heart, it’s time to be a lot less Wylde, and a lot more Aaron.

 

How the mighty do fall! With the delectable latest in her Arizona Vengeance series Sawyer Bennett brings us WYLDE, and it’s delicious! While fairly light on the hockey standpoint because it’s taking place in the off-season, this emotional story does not fail to please. And don’t despair, we still see a ton of the teammates … maybe even more than when games are taking place.

Aaron Wylde is the epitome of a player. He’s self-assured, laid back and out for a good time. A woman rarely warms his bed for more than a night and he delights in moving on to the next. Until he arbitrarily runs by a bookstore and a flash of gorgeous red hair catches his eye … and he’s a goner!

Clarke Webber is a breath of fresh air. She doesn’t do players, and most importantly not famous ones. She puts up roadblock after roadblock to offset Aaron coming in full strength ahead, but she doesn’t seem to be able to stop her heart from falling … hard.

I adored them together and highly recommend this book as well as the rest of the series to anyone who enjoys watching tough hockey guys fall hard and redeem themselves for their lady love. Looking forward to more in the series!

She loves him—but does she want to get married?

She’s finally getting married—

Or not?

When Brynne Taylor breaks off her engagement to Paul Capriati, she knows her life is going to change. But when two women who claim to be triplets to her show up in her small Utah town, it’s a lot more change than she ever expected. Now she’s digging up long-buried family secrets and navigating her relationship with her ex-fiancé. Does she actually want to get married? And what’s this introverted only child going to do with two brand-new sisters?

 

A life re-imagined! With the third book in her The Taylor Triplets series, Lynne Marshall takes us on the final leg of rediscovery as the third sister is found and reconnected in THE RELUCTANT FIANCEE. It’s emotional and heartwarming all rolled in together.

Brynne Taylor was a difficult character for me. I liked her on a whole in the situation with her family, but man, she treated Paul so badly. I just could never quite fully redeem her.

Paul on the other hand is delightful. He’s kind, he’s loving and all he wants in life is to share it with Brynne.

I highly recommend this book and this series as a whole to anyone who enjoys an emotional journey to love, family and happily ever after.

I command the keyboard,

but the only woman to command my heart is back…

bigger, badder, and more beautiful than ever.

Ozzy Page has it all—fame, fans, and a fortune too massive to spend. As keyboard player for renowned rock group Licks of Leather, he’s on top of the charts—and the world. But living his dream cost him the only woman he ever loved. His secret fling with Mia Harris was consuming and intense—and crushing when she used him to springboard her career. Seven years after their devastating breakup, watching her rise up the charts—on her new rock star lover’s back—has nearly destroyed his heart all over again.

Mia Harris didn’t curl up and die when Ozzy Page chose his career over their love. Like her namesake, she rose from the ashes and reinvented herself as Phoenix, the sultry-voiced siren taking the male-dominated rock scene by storm. But when her personal life goes to hell, their mutual agent blindsides Mia with the news that she and Ozzy will be touring together for six long, close-quarter months.

Will they finally learn to understand and forgive each other…or will their unforgettable longing end in flames?

 

A rock star reunion! With book three in her Licks of Leather series Jenna Jacobs brings us the secrets behind Ozzy’s angst in ROCK ME SLOWER. I’m loving getting to know the guys of this band and Ozzy has always been intriguing, so hearing about the past that won’t let him go is attention grabbing from the start. The ending was a bit abrupt, but I enjoyed their story a lot.

Ozzy Page grabs a reader’s heart quickly when we realize the pain he’s been holding near and dear to his heart for the years since he walked away from his one true love. He might be living a rock stars dream, but his heart hasn’t forgotten what it once had.

Mia Harris is hard to pin down at first. We sort of like her, but we don’t think much of her attitude in how it all ended with Ozzy, but then we start to learn some of her background and she starts to redeem herself somewhat.

I recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who enjoys watching a low key rock n roll band overlook their stardom to accept love with open arms when it crosses their path. These characters are endearing and I’m looking forward to more to come.

The dream she wants

Lauren Shepherd has traded her hectic office job for a quiet life working on an elderly friend’s farm. Risking everything to move to Alaska might just be the perfect opportunity for her—if Lauren can convince handsome and fiercely protective Patrick O’Shea that she’s not swindling his grandmother. But when financial troubles threaten her dream, Lauren and Patrick unite in a hunt for a legendary treasure…only to discover something between them more precious than gold.

A delightful journey to Alaska! With book six in her Northern Lights series Beth Carpenter brings a lighthearted story to life with ALASKAN DREAMS. It’s a slow burning sweet romance with a fair share of Alaskan folklore/history mixed in.

Lauren Shepherd is a strong and encouraging character. She shows her wit and strong will often as she jumps right in to start up her goat farm immediately upon arriving in Alaska.

Patrick O’Shea is devoted to the woman in his life … his Gran. She’s feisty and determined to live life her way and he loves that spunkiness, but he needs her to be safe, and he needs people to not be taking advantage of her kindness.

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a quirky small town filled with unique characters who inspire many chuckles as they find their way towards happily ever after.

She kept their child hidden… Now the secret’s out!

Valentino Casale is outraged to find Kiara kept their daughter a secret from him for two years! Forever branded by his own illegitimacy, the hardened billionaire wants to do things differently…

Kiara could never regret the consequence of her one delicious night with Val. Even if he turned out to be every bit as coldhearted as their night was hot! Yet behind Val’s reputation is another man—revealed only in their passionate moments alone. Could she give that man a second chance?

 

An unexpected reunion! With the first book in her new Feuding Billionaire Brothers duet, Dani Collins brings us a powerful story of forgiveness in A HIDDEN HEIR TO REDEEM HIM. The situation is quick to catch a reader’s attention and as we delve into the characters and their past, the story starts to unravel deliciously.

Valentino Casale seems cold and bitter when we first meet him, and as his story unfolds, we understand what made him the person he has been. Watching him soften as he lets Kiara and their child into his life shows what love can bring out in even the hardest heart.

Kiara O’Neill is flawed. She kept the child conceived during their one-night together from him in a major way when she did so with the help of the man he despised most in the world … the father who refused to ever claim him. As we learn her history and her reasoning behind her actions, it’s easy to soften towards her and see the goodness in her heart.

I recommend this story to anyone who likes an intense story line filled with secrets, lies and betrayal on that way towards happily ever after. I really enjoyed watching them fall for each other and fall into the family they were always meant for. I’m looking forward to Javiero and Scarlett’s story!

Excerpt

The first time she’d looked out the window of her camper to see the goats swiping the grapes she’d left on the picnic table, she thought she must have neglected to latch the gate. The second time, when Spritz showed up in the middle of a walk with Biscotti and Muffin, Lauren knew she’d latched it, but she hadn’t bothered to fasten the safety hasp, and hadn’t realized Spritz knew how to pull out a pin. Today, before she’d gone to the bathhouse, Lauren had latched the gate, sealed it with a cotter pin, and fastened the hasp that should have been impossible for anyone without opposable thumbs to operate. And yet here they were.

Once she’d positioned herself between the goats and the woods, Lauren approached them, slowly. Spritz spotted her and ambled in her direction. “That’s a good girl,” Lauren crooned. “Just come a little closer.”

Spritz took another step toward her, a gleam in her eye. Lauren eased out a hand. The halter was almost within Lauren’s reach but Spritz jerked back at the last second. Lauren dove toward her, caught her flip-flop on a rock, and landed face down on the grass. Spritz and the other goats pranced around her, their bleats sounding suspiciously like laughter.
