Series: The Scoring Series #1

Easton:

Hockey isn’t forever.

The money, excitement, and glory of being a professional hockey player meant more to me than a family, a home, and a forever. Another man has my forever, and I have hockey. I thought making the big bucks and playing against the best in the world would feel better than this. Instead I’m empty and hollow, like a big piece of my heart was hacked off. There's something missing. Something big. Something I can never get back.

Caroline:

I loved him, but he wasn’t the love of my life.

My husband died too young, too suddenly, too tragically. I was unprepared with no education, no job skills, and no future plans. When a DNA test reveals my twins' true parentage, I have no choice but to do the right thing. I turn to the one man who’d turned his back on me all those years ago.

I'd been shutout from his life, and I'd shut him out from mine. Can two strangers make a family? Do we have what it takes to forgive and move on?

Complex characters, boatloads of sexual chemistry and a revelation that’s about to blow their lives out of the water! With the first book in her highly anticipated The Scoring Series, Jami Davenport does not disappoint as she takes us back into her Seattle Sockeyes world with a new round of rookies in SHUTOUT. The tension is throbbing, the stakes are high and emotions are on edge.

Easton is an easy to like character. He should be on top of the world. He just made it into the NHL with the on fire Seattle Sockeyes! So why does it feel like a let down? He’ll soon be realizing that there’s a lot more to life than the game he’s been living and breathing for years.

Caroline on the other hand is more complex. She needs us to believe she’s a bit dimwitted to not find her at fault at all in this story line … and even if we can get past that portion, she’s just so wrong in her approach of keeping him away.

I really enjoyed this story and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good hockey romance with tons of drama, emotional depth and heart pulling chemistry. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series already!

From Boardroom to Bedroom by Jules Bennett
Series: Texas Cattleman’s Club: Inheritance #3
Published by Harlequin Desire on February 1, 2020
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

In pursuit of the truth,

she finds desire…

Going undercover lands her under the covers…

with her boss!

When her reality-TV star stepmother threatens her rightful inheritance, designer Sophie Blackwood fights back. To get dirt on the gold digger, she poses as a consultant to media CEO Nigel Townshend. But Sophie can’t resist the dreamy Brit, and professionalism takes a turn toward passion. Suddenly everything is at stake if her secret is exposed—her family legacy and the man she desires…

Secrets, lies and steamy passion! With book three of the Texas Cattleman’s Club: Inheritance series, Jules Bennett takes us on a secret filled ride with FROM BOARDROOM TO BEDROOM. I wanted to love this book because I’m enjoying the series as a whole, but it fell a little flat for me. The characters had potential and at times had an intriguing connection, but the story line didn’t keep me interested or pan out with enough excitement or follow through.

Sophia Blackwood is at her wits end. She wants to find dirt on her wicked ex-stepmother, but to do so, she feels like she needs to go in undercover at the production company of the reality TV show that she stars in.

CEO Nigel Townshend can’t believe his luck when his new temporary assistant is actually coming up with great ideas … only problem is he’s much too tempted by her and has a no dating an employee policy!

This series is a continuing story line of a family torn apart by the reading of their father’s will that left their former step-mother holding the keys to their family legacy. Secrets, passion and temptation are around every corner. I’m looking forward to more to come in the series.

Colton Family Bodyguard by Jennifer Morey
Series: The Coltons of Mustang Valley #3
Published by Harlequin Romantic Suspense on February 1, 2020
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

He’s sworn off protecting women and children

But this latest case changes everything!

Ever since tragedy struck years ago, bodyguard Callum Colton has avoided working with families. Yet when little Evie Hart becomes a witness to a kidnapping, Callum puts aside his fears to protect Evie and her mother, Hazel. That means moving in with the single mom and her adorable child—just temporarily, he insists. But can Callum keep the Harts safe while protecting his own heart?

Lots of danger mixed with a touch of sweet, a smidge of sass and a whole lot of steam! With book three in the exciting Colton spin-off series The Coltons of Mustang Valley, Jennifer Morey takes us on an adventure filled emotional journey in COLTON FAMILY BODYGUARD. The intrigue had my attention right off the bat and the fast paced plot kept me riveted.

Callum Colton is a bit of a mystery to us so far in the series, so to learn his background story is very satisfying. The second he stepped in and helped a stranger and her little girl he endeared himself to me, and seeing him interact with that adorable little girl was super sweet.

Hazel Hart is easy enough to like. She’s working hard to make a satisfying life for her daughter and herself, so isn’t sure what to make of being thrown into a whirlwind of luxury amid the Coltons.

I highly recommend this book and the entire series so far to anyone who enjoys a fast paced story filled with intrigue and happily ever afters but who also likes the slow build of an on-going mystery that will fester throughout the entire series until the last book gives us answers.

Whiteout by Adriana Anders
Series: Survival Instincts #1
Published by Sourcebooks Casablanca on January 28, 2020

Goodreads

With a storm coming and a killer on the loose, every step could be their last...

Angel Smith is finally ready to leave Antarctica for a second chance at life. But on what was meant to be her last day, the remote research station she's been calling home is attacked. Hunted and scared, she and irritatingly gorgeous glaciologist Ford Cooper barely make it out with their lives...only to realize that in a place this remote, there's nowhere left to run.

Isolated with no power, no way to contact the outside world, and a madman on their heels, Angel and Ford must fight to survive in the most inhospitable—and beautiful—place on earth. But what starts as a partnership born of necessity quickly turns into an urgent connection that burns bright and hot. They both know there's little chance of making it out alive, and yet they are determined to weather the coming storm—no matter the cost.

Survival Instincts Series:
Deep Blue (novella—featured in Turn the Tide)
Whiteout (Book 1)

Must read edge-of-your-seat suspense! With the first book in her much anticipated Survival Instincts series, Adriana Anders does not disappoint with WHITEOUT. The setting is brutal, the characters are attention grabbing and the plot is what nightmares are made of.

Angel is a delight. We start the story liking her just from her upbeat personality, but as the life threatening conditions deepen, we only like her more and more as her tenacity and grit bring forth an unstoppable character.

Ford is yummy! He’s all the best in gruff and snark and then absolutely scrumptious in sex appeal and heart. If you read the prequel story DEEP BLUE, you will get a chance to reconnect with Ford’s brother Eric and his love Zoe towards the end of this book.

I recommend this story to anyone who loves non-stop danger and adventure mixed with passion and heart. Looking forward to what the series will bring next!

Goodreads

What do you do when your whole life is turned upside down?

Sully Raines sets out to find his birth mother, and ends up in Blessings, Georgia. A new surprise awaits him here, but of the best kind—his childhood sweetheart, whom he hasn't seen since she moved away when they were teens, is living in Blessings now. He's not sure she's as happy to see him as he is to see her, but it's been a lot of years, and a lot of water under the bridge...

Sully's heartfelt search for answers about his past might just turn out to be the key to his future...

Exciting from start to finish! With book nine in her beloved Blessings, Georgia series Sharon Sala takes us on a roller coaster ride of emotions in THE WAY BACK TO YOU. The plot is rich with drama and the characters are full of heart.

Sully is so easy to fall for right from the start. He’s sweet, he’s kind, he’s a take charge rescuer. I really enjoyed going on the journey of finding his birth mother with him and watching him find his long lost love.

Melissa is a delight and can’t believe her luck of reconnecting with her teenage sweetheart at just the right time to save her from catastrophe. She’s had a lot of ups and downs in her life and it’s great to see her finally getting another happy ending.

I recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who loves a small town filled with good-hearted quirky characters who bring a story to life.

At Big Chance Dog Rescue, everyone can find a forever home

Marcus Talbott is a soldier through and through, and he's not going to let an injury keep him from his Army unit. Sure, his last mission nearly broke his back, but that's nothing his positive attitude and work ethic can't fix, right? In the meantime, he's got a place on the board at the Big Chance Dog Rescue, and flirting with his friend's sassy sister, Emma, is a welcome distraction.

Emma Stern is barely scraping by while working and caring for her elderly grandfather, but she's running out of options—and hope. The last thing she has time for is Marcus and his flirting, sexy as he might be. But every time Emma thinks she's reached the end of her rope, Marcus is there to lend a hand. Maybe there's more to the handsome playboy after all...

Big Chance Dog Rescue Series:
Big Chance Cowboy (Book 1)
Lucky Chance Cowboy (Book 2)

Sexy soldiers with loads of heart! With the second book in her Big Chance Dog Rescue series Teri Anne Stanley delights with another wounded soldier finding love in LUCKY CHANCE COWBOY. If you read the first book in the series you will recognize and reconnect with most of the characters quickly.

Marcus is an enjoyable character. He is a good guy trying to heal enough from his back injury to get back to active duty with his team. He doesn’t want to admit the pain he’s truly in on a daily basis, and the distraction of flirting with Emma is too good to pass up.

Emma is easy to connect with. She’s in over her head trying to take care of her cantankerous grandfather, work at the feed store and find time to help her brother Adam with the dog rescue here and there … the last thing she has time for is a man. Too bad Marcus seems to get to her more than anyone ever has.

I recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who enjoys a heartwarming yet sexy read about former soldier’s helping rescue dogs with some romance thrown in as they each stumble across their happily ever after.

Goodreads

Arden Lennox’s charmed life may be in pieces, but she’d sooner get her hoohaw bleached than move back in with her parents. She’s no longer the prom-queen princess married to the football star. She’s a broke, penniless widow, and it’s time she stood on her own two feet.

An under-construction unit in a quaint Chicago brownstone is cheap (free), but it comes with an unexpected surprise. Tyler Ramirez, her brother’s gawky high school best friend, is now a smoking hot firefighter who spends most of his spare time in her unit hammering, drilling, and screwing. Usually with his shirt off—a temptation she has no intention of indulging.

Tyler can’t believe his high school crush is living right across the hall, or how fast his fierce lust for her comes blazing back. She’s still gorgeous—a little sadder, a little quieter, but still with the amazing smile and sweet body that fueled his awkward teenage fantasies.

Despite her best intentions, Arden can’t resist grown up Tyler but the sparks between them send her into full retreat. And by the time she realizes the heat between them could last a lifetime, it could be too late to tell him…

She was his teenage crush, now he’s her fantasy come true! With her latest, Kelly Jamieson brings us a delectable cast of characters in FIRECRACKER. I sincerely hope this becomes a series because I have got to get my hands on Jamie & Mila’s story and man, Liam and Danny would be the bomb too! Great characters, easy connections and so much heat!

Arden is super easy to like as we try to figure out her story. She’s a bit lost and trying to find her way back to herself, and as we get to know the ashes she’s stepping out of, we understand what makes her weary.

Tyler is yummy! He’s kind, he’s sweet, he’s sensitive and man does he know how to rock her world! Watching him fall for the one who starred in his teenage dreams is super sweet … and he just keeps getting better and better throughout the book.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a close-knit cast of family and friends and a story line with so much heat it sizzles! I adored this book and hope there’s more to come.

On the beautiful Hawaiian Islands, not all is paradise in this high-stakes, action-packed romantic suspense.

He'll risk his life for her . . . but will he risk his heart?
Jiang Ying Yue assumed her kidnapping was random, that she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. After all, who would want to harm her? But then her rescuer---a charismatic former soldier who takes her breath away---uncovers a traitor in her father's organization. Now, Ying Yue realizes that she's become a pawn in a dangerous game, and her kidnapper won't be satisfied until she disappears for good.

Zu Anyanwu's work with Search and Protect and his canine partner Buck have always been his first priority . . . until he's tasked with keeping Ying Yue safe. To him, the brave and resilient investment expert is more than just another client. But with danger closing in, Zu can't let his emotions get in the way of the most important job he's ever had---protecting the woman he loves.

Pulse-pounding intrigue! With the sixth book in her True Heroes series, Piper J. Drake continues the non-stop action with FOREVER STRONG. The plot is thick with tension as the team tries to keep an innocent safe through multiple capture attempts.

Investment expert Jiang Ying Yue thought her ordeal was over once she was rescued from her kidnapping and delivered to Hawaii to reconnect with her father, but the trauma is just beginning as she recognizes one of her kidnappers as part of her father’s security team.

Search and Protect leader Zu Anyanwu and his canine Buck were in the right place at the right time to rescue Ying Yue from her kidnappers, and when she panics at seeing one of them again, he takes her into his protection until he can figure out exactly what is going on around here.

I recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who enjoys a romance mixed with a band of former soldiers and their canine partners saving the day on a regular basis. There were a few holes that could have been built on a tad, but overall this was a solid read and one of my favorites in the series. It was especially satisfying to see all of the guys reconnect for a mission.

Knox Bentley never liked the pomp and circumstance that came with being wealthy. He'd distanced himself from his pretentious family and their fortune as a young adult and found his own path to success. But even with the world at his fingertips, he realizes something is missing, and after a long stay overseas, he finally knows exactly what it is. His no-strings-attached hookups with Aubrey Stewart, an exquisite and stubbornly independent blonde, are no longer enough for him. They connect on every level, but Aubrey is a fierce businesswoman with a new movie channel on the horizon and no time for much else. She is the deal he can't close, the precious jewel even his billions can't buy. Now that he's back in the States, he's determined to show her that what they have goes beyond the bedroom and finally make her his.

Heartfelt goodness! With book five in her The Bradens and Montgomerys series, Melissa Foster continues to delight with Knox and Aubrey’s story in MAKING YOU MINE. Fans of her various series will recognize both characters from previous friends or business partner books and now it’s their turn to find their happily ever after.

Knox is a really fun character to read. He’s got a heart of gold and has been enjoying stolen moments with Aubrey for two years now and suddenly it doesn’t feel like enough. His heart is getting invested, and for his sanity he needs to get her on board with moving forward.

Aubrey is hard as nails and isn’t going to let a relationship derail her one track business mind, but Knox truly does seem to understand her will to succeed and just kind of gets her.

I recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who loves a steamy connection between two characters who are surrounded by a close knit group of family and friends. Foster has a way about her writing that always brings out all the feels for her characters!

Piper Manning’s about as tough as they come, she’s had to be. She raised her siblings and they’ve thankfully flown the coop. All she has to do is finish fixing up the lake house her grandparents left her, sell it, and then she’s free.

When a massive storm hits, she runs into a tall, dark and brooding stranger, Camden Reid. There’s a spark there, one that shocks her. Surprising her further, her sister and brother return, each of them holding their own secrets. The smart move would be for Piper to ignore them all but Cam unleashes emotions deep inside of her that she can’t deny, making her yearn for something she doesn’t understand. And her siblings…well, they need each other.

Only when the secrets come out, it changes everything Piper thinks she knows about her family, herself…and Cam. Can she find a way to outrun the demons? The answer is closer than she thinks—just as the new life she craves may have already begun.

Emotional, heartwarming and real! With book four in her ever enjoyable Wildstone series, Jill Shalvis brings us another winner with ALMOST JUST FRIENDS. With her typical humorous twist, Shalvis delights the reader with fun loving characters, emotional revelations and happily ever afters galore … I adored this story!

Piper Manning had me at hello … okay, so more like at the part on page one where she admits to hating being the center of attention to the core of her being. She’s had a hard life, and raising her siblings was a daunting task. Now that they’ve finally gotten out into the world on their own, she’s ready to get the property inherited from the grandparents fixed up and sold and finally get started on achieving her own dreams. Yeah, that was the plan … but now she has a man she can’t seem to pull her attention off of hanging around and a full house of siblings refusing to leave again. Secrets are rearing their ugly heads left and right … and it’s all about to get way too real.

I highly recommend this book to anyone enjoying a complex emotional story filled with laughter, love and a whole lot of heart. This entire series has been top notch and I’d encourage you to go back and catch them all. I love Wildstone!
