Lilly: My life is like the love child of a train wreck and a dumpster fire right now. I’ve been canned, my professional reputation is shredded, and now I’m walking dogs to make ends meet.
But I still believe everything will work out. Somehow.
Then a dog at the park attacks my friend’s dog. At first, I’m ready to give the owner hell—but it turns out he’s in desperate need of doggie daycare. I figure, why not? I love dogs and I need the cash.
Too bad his cocky bad boy attitude annoys me. He’s too damn cute for his own good. And I’m not talking about the dog.

Easton: My coach is riding my ass and I’m not handling it well. When I’m saddled with an abandoned pooch, my teammate thinks a dog will keep my temper in check. I think I have enough problems already.
But when my new dog gets into a tussle that leads me to meet a smoking hot chick who knows how to handle the rascal, I start to think pet ownership isn’t all bad. At least it gives me an excuse to see Lilly again. . . .
Neither of us are interested in a relationship. First they steal your bed, then they steal your heart. And I’m not talking about the dog.

An adorable meet cute leads to an emotional happily ever after! With the first book in a brand new Bears Hockey series Kelly Jamieson shines bright with witty dialogue, emotional depth and hockey with heart! I loved the set up and the connection between the two characters was quick to catch and hold my attention as they each deal with fallout of their past. I’m looking forward to watching the series progress!

Easton Miller is the sweetest. Sure, he’s a bit sure of himself and has a boat load of baggage, but he’s quick to connect with an adorable pooch needing a home and his attraction to Lilly is so endearing.

Lilly Evans is a fun character to watch develop. She has a lot of issues when it all starts out, but watching her step up and take control of her life is empowering.

I highly recommend this book to any hockey fans who enjoy a good bit of drama on top of the game action in their story. Can’t wait for more in the series!

* Review * SAY IT AIN’T SO by Lani Lynn Vale

Say It Ain't So by Lani Lynn Vale

He should’ve never left his house. He should’ve stayed at home. He has a legitimate excuse—he’s running a fever and he’s fairly sure he’s developing pneumonia. He should have called in sick…but he doesn’t.

He goes to work, because his team is relying on him.

First, he has to sign about eight thousand calendars—all from women who purchased said calendars to benefit the Fallen Officer fundraiser. And when he’s done with that, he has to endure a television interview along with the rest of the SWAT team seeing as they made national news with their ‘Hot SWAT’ calendar that’s sold a million copies to women all over the world.

Needless to say, when Samuel Adams walks into the pharmacy hours later, he only has one thing on his mind. Ibuprofen.
Sadly, he never gets to the Ibuprofen. Mostly because before he gets there, he finds a junkie waving a gun around threatening to kill anybody that moves.

He’s running a fever. That has to be the reason that the girl in the corner begins cursing up a storm and drawing the junkie’s attention. Has to be.

***

Stop it, stop it, stop it!

She tells herself to take a deep breath. Tells herself that she needs to calm down. Tells herself that if she doesn’t get her act under control, things are going to get ugly.

And, of course, that’s when the curse words start flying.

The more nervous she gets, the worse her Tourette’s becomes. Which is, of course, why she stands up and gives the man a perfect target.

Thank God that the coughing giant in the corner makes the same move and saves her life.

And how does she repay him? By calling him every awful word in the dictionary.

Thank you, Tourette’s.

A heartstopping connection filled with love, laughter and so many feels! With book nine in her KPD SWAT Generation 2.0 series Lani Lynn Vale continues to deliver a boat load of heart and angst in that run towards happily ever after and I am loving it so much! This series is a lot of fun to read and just when you think you can’t love another couple more, here comes another adorable combination knocking on your heart. Looking forward to the last few guys in the series!

Sammy Spurlock is a whole lot of YUM! He’s sweet, he’s sexy and his heart is a goner when Hastings comes onto the scene.

Hastings is the sweetest! She’s quick to love and loyal as all get out and I just couldn’t love her and her shenanigans more.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone looking for a close knit group of friends and coworkers who have so many family connections coming into the picture as they fall in love that every book is like a down home family reunion. I love these people!
