Dixie + Mary

Dixie met Mary in a bar in the middle of nowhere. He knew the moment she served him “whatever the hell she wanted to” that she was the one.

That day, he takes her from her abusive life and gives her everything she’s ever wanted.

For thirty-one years, they’re married. For thirty-one years, he worships the ground she walks on. For thirty-one years, she makes him the happiest man on the planet.

They have babies. They lose babies. They laugh and they love. They’ve fought and they’ve struggled.

But nothing prepares him for the day she leaves him. The day that his life ends, and he goes on existing, waiting for the day that he can join her again.

Join Dixie as he remembers the love of his life in this heartbreaking story that speaks of love and loss and finally, a happily ever after.

Jeremiah+Merriam

Jeremiah Dixon has a way with words.

In the professional hockey world, he’s known as Mr. Suave. The man who always says the right thing and can charm the pants off of anyone.

Of course, when a damsel in distress falls into his arms after practice, he can’t stop himself from pursuing her. Who wouldn’t instantly fall in love with a woman who looked like Merriam Kennedy did?

She was beautiful, fierce, and everything he’s ever wanted in a woman.

They fall in love with each other over wings and beer. But before he can get her number, she leaves and takes his heart with her.

As luck would have it, he runs into her a few days later. She’s still as beautiful as ever, with a sizable bruise on her face and defeat haunting her eyes.

He tries to break through her walls, but she’s adamant that she can make it on her own.

Until, that is, her abusive father threatens her baby girl. Then she has no other choice but to run into a blizzard on Christmas Eve to escape him. And she knows just where to go.

To him. Jeremiah Dixon—the man that her heart and soul know is the one meant to fix all the broken things inside of her.

 

Vale has two heartfelt stories in store for her fans with this release! First we’ll get a look back at Dixie and Mary’s story from The Heroes of the Dixie Wardens MC series and a current catch up with him and his fam as he prepares to be reunited with his one true love, then we get a hockey romance with Jeremiah and Merriam. I love Vale’s MC worlds and always want more, but this dip into hockey was really fun from her and I would love to see these characters again in a full fledged series from some of his teammates too. There is lots of sadness and emotion to wade through in both stories, but the characters are true blue and easy to like. I loved that old glimpse into the MC series again even if it was riddled with sadness. Loved it and highly recommend if you haven’t read The Heroes of the Dixie Wardens MC series that you run and nab those books to catch up!

My past has come back to haunt me.

I’m the oldest player and the captain of a minor league hockey team. My aspirations of playing in the big-time are fading, and I’m facing an uncertain future. My teammates decide to have a little fun at my expense and sign me up for a dating site. My first and last date happens to be with my old nemesis, Emory, who still blames me for ruining her chances as a hockey player. Not a fun time I’d wish on anyone.

Imagine my surprise when the team’s social media admin retires suddenly for personal issues, and Emory arrives as his replacement. We’re butting heads at every turn much to the amusement of my teammates. The night of the Lynx holiday party, we’re assigned to the same cabin as the result of an alleged administrative mistake, and there’s no other room at the inn. If that isn’t bad enough, a wet, furry bear of a dog adopts us, a blizzard hits, and we’re not going anywhere soon. Emory and I might greatly dislike each other, but we’re also in denial regarding our mutual attraction. I don’t see how this will end well for either of us, but it’s Christmas. Perhaps the magic of the season and a large stray dog might make the impossible possible.

All Pets & Pucks novels are heartwarming, closed-door Hockey Romances. They'll make you laugh, cry, and turn the pages followed by a smile at the end and a guaranteed Happily Ever After.

 

Davenport is showing her sweet side with the first book in her Pets and Pucks series! While we are mostly familiar with hot and steamy from Davenport’s hockey players, she is changing it up a little and bringing a sweet/clean romance without the heat this time around for the Spokane Lynx hockey franchise. I enjoyed the set up a lot, but felt like there was a lot left on the table this time around. Their families other than his father weren’t developed hardly at all and it felt like an abrupt ending with little resolution and no true relationship development. I liked them and thought the book was cute, but I wanted more for it to truly wow me. Easy to like characters, drama and humor to pave the way and a happy for now type of ending.

He’s not looking for love. She’s sworn off men. But some rules are meant to be broken.

Anders

As a pro hockey player for the Lauderdale Knights, my life is great—friends, hockey, and casual flings are all I need. Love isn’t even on my radar. But I’ll admit, dating my teammate’s hot sister sounds like a fun distraction.

Until I see her shy, nerdy friend sitting alone at the team party. Claudia’s nothing like the women I usually go for. She’s awkward, brilliant, and inexperienced, and I still find myself wanting more.

The problem? She’s headed back to Philadelphia, and I’m stuck here in Lauderdale.

Claudia

One bad experience left me done with men. I’ve got a great job, supportive family, and friends who mean the world to me. The last thing I need is a smooth-talking playboy hockey hunk trying to worm his way into my heart— and pants.

But then I meet Anders, my best friend’s brother’s teammate, the swoon-worthy Swedish player who’s breaking through my walls.

What started as one week together turns into something I never expected. But I can’t trap him like his ex did. I love him too much.

So I’ll let him go… even if it breaks my heart.

 

Sweet, sentimental and sexy! With the eighth book in her beloved Lauderdale Knights hockey series, Mizera delivers on great characters, an instant connection that takes our breath away, and a well developed love story. I was invested in their relationship very early on and loved seeing them grow as their love developed. I wanted a slight bit more development around Ander’s fam, but overall I was happy with the completion of the storyline.

Anders was my favorite character in the book because he was just so heartfelt and sincere. He had past issues that could have turned him into a neurotic mess, but instead he kept his goodheartedness and trusted in the process.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a close knit group of teammates who play hard and love harder as each one is finding their forever love along the way.

Have you ever met an alpha-hole?

Well, let me introduce you to the ultimate Ash-hole: Ash Wheeler, star defenseman for the Boston Bucks.

He’s got it all—hockey skills, women, fame, looks, and swagger. A real Ash-hole.

I don’t want to be attracted to him. Seriously, I don’t. But every time I’m around him, my body ignites.

I’ve been burned by a guy like him before, and I swear I’ll never go down that road again.

Until I do.

As a single mother who seems to draw men like Ash, I console myself with the knowledge that I know what I’m getting into.

I mean, if I understand the risks, what could go wrong?

A lot, apparently.

I try to keep things casual and vow not to fall for him.

Until I do.

And then I discover his secret and now there’s only one thing left for me to do...

 

Highly entertaining sexy goodness! Cathryn Fox is bringing the adorable with book four in her Boston Bucks hockey series. I’ll admit right off the bat that I loathed the Ash-hole shtick, but everything else was delightfully satisfying! Both characters had a past that made them leery of trusting but their connection was really sincere and played out well. The little family they put together was super sweet. I loved that he was so in from the very beginning and always supportive no matter what. There could have been a bit more hockey and a bit more team camaraderie to bring everything full circle, but I loved it regardless and felt like it was a complete story. I highly enjoyed Gina and Ash and recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a sports romance with lots of heart and passion.

Sarah McNeilly is a rare find in the tabloid industry. She won’t ignite gossip. She finds the truth. And for once, that’s what her boss wants. With her job on the line, Sarah’s latest assignment is to identify the elusive “Maximillian Smith,” unearth his connection to the billionaire Stone family, and dig up some dirt.

Yesterday Max was an ordinary workingman, concerned with little more than the price of gas. Now he suddenly has a family, jaw-dropping wealth, and an avid (if clumsy) reporter on his trail. With the press threatening to destroy his new life, he needs to release his real story strategically, and Sarah is the key—not to mention an adorable yet invaluable resource for finding his mother.

As Max and Sarah team up to peel back the ugly layers of Max’s past, they stumble heart-first into their fiery attraction. But when their research threatens their newly built trust, it’s their future that is on the line.

 

Bybee is pouring on the angst with the second book in The Heirs series and I loved every single minute! We knew in Chase’s book that things were about to get good with the discovery of a secret sibling, but I never expected Max to be so darn fine! He’s my favorite so far because there’s just something about a rugged working man! The story was intense and Bybee weaved a very believable story and reaction. The plot was well developed with emotion, romance and a sweet happily ever after topping it all off. I can’t wait for Alex’s story!

I highly recommend this book as well as the first in the series to anyone who enjoys a family centric plot with the drama of obligation being the starting point as each sibling finds their forever love with lots of sass along the way.

THE THRILL OF FALLING…

After a humiliatingly public breakup, actress Cleo dives onto a boat to evade the press—and comes face-to-face with its grumpy owner! Only, her reluctant rescuer is as attractive as he is guarded, quickly putting Cleo’s vow to swear off men to the test… Famously reclusive thriller author Jude Blackwood has experience being hounded by the media, so the billionaire begrudgingly offers his beautiful stowaway sanctuary. Yet being in such close proximity proves more dangerous than the paparazzi…because their chemistry is inescapable! And a secret fling? Inevitable. But it’s when they catch feelings that they’re in real trouble!

 

Douglas is a pro at weaving a tale of redemption and love! I was hooked immediately on Cleo and Jude’s story when Cleo has to make a fast getaway and he helps her with barely a second thought. As their adventure continues, their backstories begin to be revealed and create very likable characters. Cleo is very misunderstood and Jude has secrets and guilt that he’s running away from. There was a gentle connection between the two of friendship and attraction that leads to them falling hard for each other. I loved the depth of emotion twisted throughout their story. I highly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a fast paced, chance meeting that leads to a heartfelt forever love.

Posey Evans is looking to take her career as a romance author to the next level, shifting from historical love stories to writing about the high stakes world of formula racing. Wanting to immerse herself in the sport, Posey manages to secure full access to the Crown Velocity Racing team by faking credentials as a journalist. When she’s granted unlimited face-to-face time with one of the teams’ best drivers, Posey is equal parts elated and terrified because while she’s getting exactly what she wants, she can’t afford to have her secret exposed.

Lex Hamilton lives for the thrill of being one of the fastest and most decorated race car drivers in the sport. When he’s behind the wheel, he’s focused on one thing and one thing only—earning top spot on the podium. But off the track? Let’s just say his extracurricular activities have put him on a very short leash with the team management at Crown Velocity. He’s cocky, handsome, dripping with swagger, and not super happy to have what he considers a babysitter following his every move. Lex’s unwillingness to help doesn’t deter Posey but when he uncovers her secret, they strike a deal—he won’t reveal her truth if she helps him stay out of trouble and keep his job.

While many women would swoon at his feet, Posey isn’t interested in anything more than Lex’s racing knowledge. Mostly. As the season inches closer and passions ignite, time at the track leads to time in the bed. Having agreed there is an expiration date on their arrangement, what started as an assignment has the potential to go the distance as their physical relationship builds into something deeper. But when her secret is revealed, will Lex and Posey’s relationship hit a wall, or will this fling find its way to the checkered flag?

 

Sawyer Bennett delights with an exciting new adventure! With the first book in her brand new Race Fever series, Bennett takes her fans along for the ride into the world of racing and brings the heat and angst like a rockstar! I was quickly intrigued on the premise of Posey’s storyline and once Lex and his smirk came onto the scene, it was game over and I was hooked. Both characters were fairly well developed from the very beginning and the family and co-worker dynamic that played in throughout only continued to build on the legwork. I liked their story a lot as a whole, but did find there to be a few balls left up in the air that I wanted a conclusion on and I felt the racing technicality that was brought into the book as a whole was probably a bit much and drug the storyline at times. Overall, I left loving Posey and Lex! I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.

A Holiday Mode Novella

The holidays can be lonely, but this December I'm having a fling with a rock star.

My life has imploded. I’ve lost my job, my apartment, and don’t even get me started on my non-existent love life. So it feels fitting to be living back at my parents’ home in South Lake Tahoe. It’s like I’m a teen again at the ripe ol’ age of twenty-six—only instead of delivering pizzas, I’m delivering overpriced salmon and kale to lazy ski bums. Is a quarter-life crisis a thing?

Which is how I meet rock star Cole Jackson—delivering groceries to his ridiculous Tahoe chalet. Somehow he finds my scattered insanity charming. And I’m so tempted. Besides, isn’t that what people having a quarter-life crisis do? Have ill-advised flings?

This fling has a definite expiration date. He’s going back on tour, and I have to get my life back on track. So why not spend this December in the arms of a rock star? What could go wrong?

Oh, I’m definitely going to regret thinking that…

 

Fast paced and highly addictive! If you’re looking for a sexy holiday novella to get you in the mood for Christmas, look no further! Gillian Archer is delivering on a holiday fling turned forever with a rockstar and the down-on-her-luck delight he sweeps off her feet. Yes, obviously in a novella length story it’s quick and could be developed more, but there’s a whole lot of living and loving between Cole and December and not a whole lot lacking for a believable relationship. I loved every minute and only wished there was more! Great plot, fun characters and more emotional depth than you might expect.

Never fall for your best friend.
That’s the rule. The code.
Claire Harlow always follows rules—except this one.
However, when an attack leaves both of their worlds shaken, she decides to walk away from what could have been and hide within her own shadows.

Kingston Montgomery is the man who saves the day.
At least that’s what he’s always told himself—until one day he was too late.
Now he’s trying to find his purpose while also ignoring the heat between him and Claire.
When a chance blizzard changes their plans, one night turns to two…and then there’s no going back.

Only the two must overcome what they thought their relationship should be and realize what it could become. Because if they don’t figure it out quickly, the spark that ignites them could burn them both.

 

Carrie Ann Ryan continues to deliver delectably delicious book boyfriends! With the next book in her Montgomery Ink Legacy series, Kingston sweeps readers off their feet with his protective nature and giving spirit. The main characters are well developed and easy to like and the general plot of the book is complex but easy to follow. A little bit of angst here and there, but mostly lots of sexy goodness with real emotions and realities. A smidge more character/family background here and there would make it easier for someone reading it as a stand alone without knowing the family already, but overall a very solid and entertaining story. I always look forward to more from this fam!

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series and preceding series from the family to anyone looking for a sexy, sincere story with the backdrop of a close-knit family who always has each others back as each family member finds their true love/loves.

Growing up with addict parents and extreme neglect, Jensen Chambers learned early to only depend on himself.

A family was something he’d never thought he’d have, but the people at the Resting Warrior Ranch have become exactly that. Yeah, Garnet Bend is about as small as towns come, but big cities never did him any favors anyway.

So when Kenzie Hurst—with her manicured nails and stilettos that obviously don’t belong in Montana—shows up with trouble on her high heels, Jensen isn’t going to just sit by.

This is family.
This is his town.

He’ll be dåmned if he’ll let outside danger destroy the peace they’ve worked so hard to build.

But when the mysterious beauty needs protection only Jensen can provide, he can’t turn her away. She may wear Prada, but her sweet smile and engaging laugh is drawing him in.

Making him want to keep her around permanently. High heels and all.

Someone wants Kenzie dead, but Jensen—and the Resting Warrior Ranch team—are about to show her that around here, they look out for their own.

And that includes her.

 

Fast paced, addictive suspense! With another visit to her beloved Resting Warrior Ranch, Josie Jade takes her readers along for the ride when a stalker gets too close for comfort to a new friend of the guys and gals at the ranch. I was quickly hooked on Kenzie’s plight, and once Jensen stepped into her realm and the sparks started flying, I was down for the count. I really liked Jensen and his connection to the guys at RWR. I wanted a smidge more out of Kenzie, but overall a very solid read that moved quickly and was well developed.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone that enjoys a strong former military turned hero cast as each member of the brotherhood settles in with their forever love.
