A simple arrangement. A complicated future.
Lia Dove has always been a free spirit, living life to the fullest and never putting down roots. But after finding her birth father, along with a group of lovable, rowdy bikers, she can’t imagine being anywhere else. Throw in a hot biker roommate who offers her no-strings-attached deal as the cherry on top and leaving becomes an afterthought.

Leo Hawk has never felt part of anything until he becomes a prospect in a local motorcycle club. But catching feelings for his roommate, who’s also the club president’s daughter, could spell disaster before he earns his patch.

But when the past comes back to haunt him thanks to his missing older brother, Leo will have to lean on his biker brothers for help, risking a future with the club and the woman he’s grown to love.

Sweet, sexy and satisfying! With the second book in her always delicious Open Road series Chelle Bliss is bringing us more of that sweetheart Leo and I seriously couldn’t love this guy more. In BROKEN DOVE, his past with his brother brings danger to his door as his cozy roommates and more relationship with Lia is growing deeper than he ever expected. The characters are great, the intrigue brings an interesting dynamic to the story and I really their story as a whole.

Leo hasn’t had it easy, but he doesn’t let anything stop him when it comes to being a kind, gentle soul. I really like his character.

Lia is still a bit under-developed as a whole, but I loved her chemistry with Leo and enjoyed watching them grow into more than they ever expected.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a low-key MC that is there for each other, but centers more around every day life than coordinated structure. They are each winning my heart one by one on their way to happily ever after. I’m looking forward to more in the series!

A simple arrangement. A complicated future.

I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.

Hard Limit by Brenda Rothert, Kat Mizera
Series: St. Louis Mavericks #2
Published by Silver Sky Publishing, Inc. on February 15, 2022
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

St. Louis Mavericks star defender Lars Jansson is dead set against relationships. A new love makes him wonder if maybe he can change, but first, he must confront the truth about who he is.

Lars

On the ice, I’m unstoppable. If anyone is in my way, it’s simple—I move them. Hockey is my life, and I don’t have the patience for relationships spanning more than one night. But when I meet a woman so bold and intriguing I can’t help wanting more, I’m blindsided by the revelation that no matter what I do, I may never be enough for her.

Sheridan

One night. That’s all it was supposed to be. But Lars Jansson is larger than life in every way—how could one night be enough? It’s risky for me to see him again, and to let myself fall for the stoic hockey player who is charming in his own way. He thinks it’s his truth that could undo us, but he couldn’t be more wrong about that—it’s mine.

Highly emotional and oh so addictive! Brenda Rothert and Kat Mizera are teaming up to delight there readers time and time again in their joint St. Louis Mavericks hockey series and I am enjoying it so much. HARD LIMIT brings us an unlikely pair of unique and accomplished people who click in a delightful way to the forefront and we get so many twists and turns during their relationship. I’m really enjoying this group of players and the woman each finds as their forever. Can’t wait for more!

Lars is the sweetest and watching him step into himself and grow into the person he’s always been in awe inspiring. I couldn’t have loved him more.

Sheridan is sassy and self-assured, but her past baggage is dragging her down throughout most of the book. It was a joy to watch her prosper as things changed in the end.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a hockey team with a lot of heart who delight in their camaraderie and share the love as they each settle in with their happily ever after.

EXCERPT

Mavericks group text

Wes: Boys, this is your captain speaking. I want every member of the team to join me in congratulating Nash and Lars, who are selling their bodies to raise money for charity. Nash brought in 7k for a night with a cougar, and Lars brought in 10k from a supermodel. Enjoy those dates, guys – and update all of us here.

Boone: I hated to miss that auction but I had to. How much of a cougar are we talking? Is Nash’s date at a nursing home?

Nash: No dude, maybe like 50 and she’s hot.

Beau: Dude, cringe. My mom is 50.

Nash: Is she hot? Can I get her number?

Beau: FU

Drew: Lars is going out with an actual supermodel?

Wes: Yep, Sheridan Lee …

Ross: Holy shit! She paid 10 large to go out with Lars??

Lars: What is a supermodel?

Nash: It’s a generous person who spends an evening with a total dipshit to benefit charity.

Lars: I just Googled her. She’s more famous than me.

Ross: Dude, she’s way way more famous than you. More famous than any of us. She has a clothing line or something and she makes the lists of wealthiest women in the world.

Lars: She could have paid more than $10,000 then.

Nash: You’re lucky she paid anything at all for you. Put some duct tape over your mouth and the date will go great.

Lars: You’re just jealous.

Nash: Nah, cuz I know you’ll blow it. You’ll make some stupid comment and then wonder why she doesn’t like you.

Wes: Check in here after the dates, both of you. Let’s see who ends up with a second date.

Lars: Okay.

Nash: Deal.

Nash was right. I didn’t have the best track record with relationships. But I didn’t care, because I wasn’t looking for one.

Eat. Sleep. Hockey. Occasionally get laid. That was all I needed.

I’d dated a woman who occasionally spent the night after we slept together when I was in the minors, and she always complained when my alarm went off at 5:30 for my workout. She’d wanted to stay in my apartment while I worked out, but there was no way I was going for that. She’d bitched the entire way out the door the last time we’d been together, and I’d decided then and there—no more women staying the night. My 5:30 workouts were non-negotiable.

It wasn’t just that, though. I’d seen what my friends and teammates had to go through with their wives and girlfriends. If they asked where they wanted to go for dinner, it was always, “Oh, I don’t know,” but if the guy suggested something, it was, “No, I hate that place”.

My teammate Drew got stuck watching stupid shit like Big Brother and Real Housewives, because that was what his wife Nina wanted to watch. He spent forever in the grocery store trying to find the exact brands of ingredients she put on the grocery list, and he went to Fashion Week and Broadway shows just to make her happy.

Fuck that. If I went to New York City, I’d be watching baseball and hockey games. My teammates in relationships just didn’t seem to get it—you could have all the sex you wanted without the bullshit.

KAT MIZERA

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 thirty 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 and Alaska Blizzard 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…
