Everything went wrong. And then she went gray.

At 47, newly divorced makeup artist Lela Bennett is dreading her next steps. Dating. Meeting people. Not letting herself go. But then she runs into Donovan James and tries something different—sleeping with her sexy crush from college. Unfortunately, in a post-orgasm stupor, Lela confesses she was in love with Donovan all those years ago. He responds by leaving while she sleeps. The next morning, her gray hairs are practically taunting her. She knows she has to get it together. Forget men. Embrace her age. Own her gray.

Donovan James is a marketing genius, but his ex-wives will tell you—nothing freaks him out like feelings. Three years after his one-night stand with Lela, he’s focused on his daughter’s lifestyle company, but unprepared to meet the face of their new beauty brand. It’s Lela. With stunning silver locks and new confidence, she’s no longer swayed by his charms. When business starts booming, the universe seems intent on throwing them together time and again. And suddenly, two people convinced that romance was behind them are wondering if love could be what’s next.

With a gorgeously refreshing voice, Karen Booth blows the unrealistic definition of “prime” being perky bits and youthful bodies into the wind when she brings a middle-aged romance to life with natural depictions of aging, failed relationships and reimagined dreams. GRAY HAIR DON’T CARE is the modern woman’s anthem to deserving love at any and all ages, colors, sizes!

Lela is enviable. She’s strong and self-assured and she takes advantage of the time following the end of the life she thought she’d be leading for the rest of her life to reassess and start new dreams.

Donovan is delightfully smart enough to be learning life from a fresh perspective now that he’s seeing the world through his grown daughter’s eyes … and it’s changing him for the better.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves romance, loves humor and loves a cast of really relatable people who you feel like you could truly enjoy hanging out with in life.

Red hot chemistry with all the feels! Robin Covington keeps the feel good romance coming in book two of her Redhawk Reunion series and I am loving this family! SEDUCING HIS SECRET WIFE brings little sister Sarina back to town for a family celebration … but not before she has a little adventure of her own.

Justin is a sweetheart. He can’t believe the goddess that he just married in Vegas is his best friend’s little sister, but even knowing that, he can’t get her out of his mind.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a whole lot of family drama mixed with love and laughter as each sibling finds their happily ever after. I can’t wait for Roan’s story!

Manning

As captain of the Dallas Oilers, I was their leader on and off the ice. From the outside, it looked like I had the perfect life.

I didn’t.

I was married to a woman who refused to give me a divorce. All she wanted was the status title, and all I wanted was to be set free.

It was supposed to be just another event, except it took a turn I didn’t see coming.

Evelyn

Attending my best friend’s bachelorette party isn’t something I was looking forward to.
But it’s strange what a couple of glasses of wine will do.

It was one night, and I thought I would never see him again.

Especially not coming face-to-face with him and his wife while picking up my nephew from hockey practice.

All it takes is one kiss, one touch, one chance, and only one night.

Exhilarating chemistry, emotional upheavals and oh so many feels! With book three in her The Only One series Natasha Madison delights with a story that takes emotional to a whole new level in ONE ONE NIGHT. I love the guys on this team so much!

Manning has been in our hearts all throughout this series. He’s the team captain, the heart of the bunch … and yet he’s miserable. His wicked wife refuses to give him the divorce he’s begged for and continues to keep him on her puppet string by using their son as leverage … until he meets a woman one night that he simply can’t resist.

Evelyn is a delight. She’s been through some drama of her own, but now she’s back home working and enjoying family when she runs into hunky Manning by happenstance one night. She has no clue who he is, she doesn’t know he’s married, she just knows what he makes her feel.

I highly recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who enjoys a highly emotional romance mixed with a close-knit group of teammates and friends with some hockey mixed in.

Reckless Road by Christine Feehan
Series: Torpedo Ink #5
Published by Berkley on February 9, 2021

Goodreads

While Gedeon “Player” Lazaroff is one of Torpedo Ink motorcycle club’s roughest members, he’s also one of the calmest. Little rattles Player, except for the times his gift gets the better of him. When that happens, he has to just lie down in the dark and hope for the best. But on a night when he’s on the verge of losing it, he meets a woman who manages to soothe his fractured mind.

Zyah is a striking, ethereal beauty who seduces him with every word and move. Their night together is one of pure, exquisite bliss. But when Player gets confused and thinks their intimate encounter was nothing more than a dream, his careless dismissal leaves her humiliated and angry.

Now, Player will have to devote his every breath to convincing Zyah to give him a second chance. Because she might be the only one who can save him from himself.…

A wild ride towards forever! With book five in her always entertaining Torpedo Ink series Christine Feehan brings us Player’s story in RECKLESS ROAD and it was quite the ride. I enjoyed Gedeon and Zyah together and there were aspects of the story that I loved, but there were also parts that were a bit out there. I hope as the series continues that we get back into the heart of the family of being the MC instead of playing up the supernatural aspect so much. Early books in the series were great … the last couple were meh-ish. I love the group as a whole though, so I’m going to keep trying and hoping it picks back up again.

Player is a core part of the heart of the MC and seeing how much he gives of himself in order to protect is family is really touching. I enjoyed watching him fall for Zyah and find his own version of happiness.

Zyah is strong-willed and tenacious and I loved her for Player.

I recommend this series to anyone who loves a close knit group of MC members who are like family and always there to support their brothers and sisters through the good times and the bad.

The town’s former bad boy

…is aiding and abetting the law

After saving a woman and baby from would-be kidnappers, ex-marine Matt Hennessey discovers he and Aubrey Blanchard have much in common—starting over, painful pasts and an ice-cold murder case. Their attraction is instant and undeniable. But as they search for the baby’s abducted sister, a human trafficking cartel threatens their lives. Can they bring down the vengeful criminals who don’t forgive…and never forget?

Top notch intrigue! With the second book in The Outriders Series Elle James takes her reader on a ride of exhilarating danger in HIDEOUT AT WHISKEY GULCH. The drama and suspense grabs us from the first chapter and doesn’t let go throughout. I am loving this series!

Aubrey is courageously trying to put the pieces of her life back together after her recent divorce and move to Whiskey Gulch when she’s swept into a dangerous whirlwind.

Matt caught my attention in the first book in the series so I was already a fan and thrilled to see him get a happy ever after, even if it was an emotional journey to get there.

I highly recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who enjoys a fast paced story of intrigue and danger with a sweet romance brewing in the background.
