Goodreads

Stone Gallo has lived life like every day is a party. No attachments, no responsibilities, and absolutely no falling in love. He spent his days at Inked and his nights wherever he pleased. But when Stone rescues a beautiful woman in need, his entire world gets turned upside down, and he’ll never be the same.

Opal hasn’t had much luck in life. No family, no friends, and absolutely no love. But when a handsome tattoo artist steps in and saves her from a horrible situation, her entire world changes. She's immediately sucked in by his charming family, wanting nothing more than to be one of them, but knows it’s not in the cards for her…it never is.

But when fate steps in, they can’t stop what’s coming—Stone and Opal sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g…

Fast paced and exhilarating! Chelle Bliss can always wrap a new Gallo man around my heart and Stone was even easier than ever. He’s sweet, sincere and sexy as all get out and his instant connection with Opal was really addictive. I love this series so hard!

Inferno was quick to hook me and brought a depth of drama into the picture early on that carried the pace throughout. Emotional and riveting!

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone that enjoys a close-knit family who has their nose all up in each other’s business … but in such a loving way! The men are bold, the women are sassy and the love is forever!

Inferno by Chelle Bliss is now live!

* Release Blitz/Review * HENDRIX by Sawyer Bennett

June 6, 2023 Leave a Comment

I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.

Hendrix by Sawyer Bennett
Series: Pittsburgh Titans #7
Published by Big Dog Books, LLC on June 6, 2023
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

Hendrix Bateman is one of The Lucky Three, a trio of players who were not on the Titan’s team plane the night it crashed. Feeling as if he’s been given a second chance, Hendrix is determined to make the most out of his life, but that doesn’t mean he’s not suffering from scars that can’t be seen.

When I lost my Titan brothers in the crash, it was a mixed bag of emotions. I was devastated and grief stricken, but I was also grateful to be alive. Yeah, that might cause a little—okay, a lot of—guilt, but now I’m determined to live each day as if it’s my last.

A night out with friends puts me in the crosshairs of Stevie Kisner—the devastatingly beautiful bar owner with a sharp tongue and a fire in her eyes that lets me know she has zero tolerance for guys like me. I’ve never been one to back away from a challenge, so I’m not dissuaded by Stevie’s tough as nails attitude or her big biker dad who looks like he wants to kill me. Fueled by too many shots and the raucous urging of my teammates, I set out to show Stevie I’ve got game both on and off the ice.

While I shouldn’t be looking for anything more than a good time, I can’t help but be captivated by Stevie. She’s cool as hell and we burn hot together. But the more I get to know her, the more I can tell she’s holding something in reserve, and let’s just say I’ve got some trust issues after my last disastrous attempt at a relationship. Now I need to decide if I’m going to let my past dictate my future or if I am willing to put my heart on the line to find out if Stevie is exactly what I think she is—my everything.

Addictive and heartfelt! Hendrix is heating up the pages of book seven in Sawyer Bennett’s Pittsburgh Titans hockey series and he does it well. I have to admit that I wanted more angst from one of The Lucky Three’s stories, but I still adored him and was rooting for him to get his happily ever after along the way.

Stevie is really easy to like and I adored her charisma, but man did she irritate me with buying into her mom’s BS all the time.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone that enjoys a close knit group of hockey players who stick beside each other through thick and thin and happily fall for “the one” one lucky guy at a time.

Made For Romeo by Natasha Madison
Series: Made For Series #4

Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

Gabriella Stone
Moving to LA was my dream since I was thirteen.
By the time I was twenty, I was sought out by some of the most beautiful people in the world to take their pictures.
No one cared that I came from a hockey dynasty.
Everything was perfect.
Then I met him.
It was supposed to be a one-time thing.
But it ended up being more. So much more.
Until he betrayed me.

Romeo Beckett
Growing up in LA, everyone knew I came from Hollywood royalty.
Following in my father's legendary footsteps, I learned early on not to fall for the shallow shine of this city.
When I met her, I didn't know she was what I'd been looking for.
In one night, I ruined everything.
She left without a second thought.
I've spent every day since becoming the man she deserves.
She thinks it's over.
She's wrong.
It's time to win her back.

Undeniably the most angsty book in the series! Natasha Madison is throwing us a curve ball with book four in her Made For Series and making us learn to forgive a man for his sins when he proves himself worthy of redemption. It will never be my favorite because the rift made it hard to get that warm and cozy feeling about their connection from the very beginning, but Romeo does endear himself to the reader with his willingness to be truthful. I truly enjoyed seeing Gabriella and Romeo find themselves back to each other.

I recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone that loves a family hockey dynasty with the family members always loving hard and enjoying life with each other by their sides.

I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.

The Devil's Den by Penny Dee
Series: De Kysa Mafia #1
on April 26, 2023
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

Nico De Kysa.
Cold. Detached. Ruthless.
And my new husband.

I didn’t want to marry the despicable mafia don.
But my father made a deal with the devil and lucky me, I’m the currency.

If I leave…
He’ll destroy my father’s fortune.

But if I stay…
He’ll obliterate my heart.

Because in this union, the lines between love and hate are blurred.
So blurred.

He’s a cold-blooded monster with ice in his veins and frost in his heart.
But in bed, Nico De Kysa burns like wildfire.
And in the heat of the night, I begin to forget why I hate the mobster.

I’m trapped in a world I despise.
With a man too wicked to fall for.
Yet, I can’t leave.

Maybe if I knew what was coming it would be easier to run.

The Devil’s Den is book 1 in the De Kysa Mafia series. A scorching hot enemies-to-lovers romance with tension-filled banter and sizzling chemistry. Expect ‘touch her and die’ vibes, forced proximity, and all the delicious darkness of a mafia romance. For readers 18+. Please read author’s note for trigger warnings.

Powerful, intriguing and totally addictive! With the first book in her brand new De Kysa Mafia Romance series Penny Dee takes us on a roller coaster ride of crime, passion and so many twists and turns we never see coming that all tie into an awesome kickoff for the series. I was hooked from start to finish and cannot wait for the next book to come!

Domenico is a powerful mafia don with a score to settle. He’s loyal and heartfelt but beneath the surface he’s still the guy that loved a girl and had it all explode in front of his face.

Bella is naive yet sincere. She believes Nico let her down when in reality she doesn’t know what happened behind the scenes. Watching them reconnect and then begin to unravel the drama is fulfilling.

I highly recommend this book to fans of mafia romance. The family background is fleshed out in a way that adds to the storyline instead of overburdening it. Looking forward to more to come!

Coming Home for Us by Carrie Ann Ryan
Series: The Wilder Brothers #4
Published by Carrie Ann Ryan on April 10, 2023
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

I made plans. I followed the path. I fell in love.

Then the world took her away from me.

I swore to never love again, and I’ve done all I could to keep that vow.

But life finds a way and I can’t stop this burning attraction with my best friend.

Maddie stood by me when my world shattered.

She deserves more than a broken man who promised to never love again.

Only I swear she feels the same way about me. And I have no idea what to do about it.

Now she might leave the Wilders and I can’t tell her to stay—even if it means shattering the one piece of me I have left.

Highly emotional and full of heart! The fourth book in Carrie Ann Ryan’s Wilder Brothers series is filled with emotion as we get Elijah and Maddie’s story. The characters have played a key roll in books prior in the series and we already know them well, but this book goes slightly forward and shows the healing and rediscovery after Joy. It’s emotional, it’s heart-wrenching and most of all, it’s rewarding. I loved their story!

Elijah has always been a happy go lucky type of guy in the previous books, but after the loss he lived through, he’s a more complex soul and shines in different ways. I enjoyed him.

Maddie is a sweetheart and we always had a soft spot for her and her unrequited love, so seeing her shine and get some of the happiness she deserves is heartwarming.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a close knit family of former military guys who are coming together in life after coming home as each brother finds their forever.

Abigail
It was time to celebrate.
After all my hard work, I was graduating at the top of my class.
Our family vacation was the perfect chance to relax.
Until I saw him get on the plane and my plans went out the window.
Tristan's everything I've always wanted but can never have.
One night was all we had together.
Now, I’m staring at the two pink lines wondering if I should even tell him.

Tristan
Six years ago, I was living for myself until I found out I had a two-year-old daughter.
Now, I love my life exactly how it is: me, my daughter and hockey.
Except—I've been in love with Abigail from afar for years.
She was the only one I trusted my daughter with.
One night with her is more than I deserve.
Now that I've had her, I know she was made for us.

Adorable, angsty and exhilarating! The third book in Natasha Madison’s Made For hockey series is pouring on the feels when we get reconnected with Tristan and his adorable daughter Penny. I feel like the backstory could have been clarified slightly better for new readers, and there are always so many family members on Abigail’s side that it’s confusing unless you’ve read all of the series that came prior, but if you’re a loyal Madison fan it will be a breeze and you will adore this story just like I did. The characters are sweet and sincere and the drama is spot on. Loved it!

Tristan is such a doll! I loved every minute of him and his adorable little Penny. What a family unit they turned out to be.

Abigail is hardworking and kindhearted … but I didn’t love how she did him after their night together. Love them together now though!

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone that loves a close knit family of hockey players and their extended familial unit. The characters are great, the chemistry is explosive and the family love is strong.

Series: Band on the Run #4
Published by Chasing Romance, Inc. on March 28, 2023
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

Years ago, he hopped on a bus to pursue his dreams in the music business.
But that meant leaving behind the girl who could never really be his.

Mick Tyler is insanely successful and has achieved everything he ever wanted, but he’s never been more miserable. Feeling a little disenchanted and introspective, he can’t help but let his mind wander through all of life’s “what if” moments. The biggest what if? What if I hadn’t walked away from the girl of my dreams—the one who had dreams of her own. And now that he’s thought about her once, he can’t stop wondering.

Sienna Ashley is desperate for a little excitement. As thrilling and satisfying as her pursuit of scientific research has been for her intellect, it’s left her heart feeling a little neglected. For years she dreamed of finding someone who not only understood her brains but accepted her and all her quirks. Once upon a time she thought she’d found that someone, but it’s been years since he walked out of her life.

Past and present collide when Mick and Sienna unexpectedly come face to face. Together, they decide to see what could have happened had they chosen a different path all those years ago. But they’ve given themselves a deadline. Two weeks. Two glorious weeks to either work each other out of their systems, or to embark on the love of a lifetime.

An utterly addictive fan-girl delight! I’m sure I’m not the only one squealing at the top of my lungs to be reunited with Shaughnessy again and seeing our favorite band manager/agent Mick get his truly deserved happily ever after. It’s like visiting old friends to see this group of characters again and the emotion we get wrapped up in regarding Mick’s life choices is powerful. I loved every minute of this heartfelt delight and was overjoyed for touches of the Shaughnessy family mixed in as well. I’m crossing my fingers Chase decides to do a second gen series down the road with all of those kiddos who are growing up fast so I can bury myself in the warmth of this family for years to come.

Mick has been the backbone of this band for all of the years that we’ve been devouring their exploits and I always wanted to see what was beneath the surface with him, so getting to know what made him tick and who he left behind was a real treat. This book allowed us to see his emotional depth, his fun side and so much sexy goodness.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series of both the Band on the Run and the Shaughnessy Brothers to anyone that enjoys emotional storylines with tight-knit friend and family support systems as life churns one surprise after another.

Michael Boone has just one goal: to get traded to his hometown team so he can be closer to his family. But when a runaway bride who happens to be his coach’s daughter jumps into his car to escape Mr. Wrong, the heat is on ... in more ways than one.

Boone
I’m supposed to be a guest at my coach’s daughter’s wedding to a player from another team, but instead I find myself helping her escape it. The timing couldn’t be worse—I have to stay in Coach’s good graces to secure the trade I need. But when the sexy, newly single redhead with legs for days shows up in my life again, I can’t say no.

Jolie
After escaping marriage to a man who made me feel like I was never enough, I plan to focus entirely on completing my dissertation. Science has never let me down—I can avoid emotional entanglements by focusing on cold, hard data. But when I’m powerfully drawn to a man who is warm and, okay, I’ll admit it—also hard—all bets are off. Mr. Right Now is exactly what I need, until both of us find ourselves wanting the one thing we can’t have—more.

Emotionally charged temptation! With the fifth book in their always addictive St. Louis Mavericks hockey series Brenda Rothert and Kat Mizera delight their readers with a sweet and sexy romance with a touch of forbidden. The characters are developed well and easy enough to like and their back stories both have powerful tidbits that move the storyline. I always enjoy my visit to the Mavericks!

Boone has the rep of a player, but the emotional depth we see from him when the stakes are high with his family really endears him to the reader even before we grow addicted to his spark with Jolie.

Jolie is not as easy to like as Boone is because in all honesty she’s a bit of a flake who lets others control too big of aspects of her life, but she redeems herself a tad when she falls for Boone.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone that enjoys a steamy hockey romance with a tight knit team that loves to welcome the next guys forever love into the picture.

Sneak Attack by Stacey Lynn

A sneak attack by the girl who broke my heart, reminds me what could have been…

I might have made it as an NFL quarterback, but I was still me– still living in my hometown north of Nashville and tackling being a single dad. The media assumed I wore a halo beneath my helmet, but they didn’t know my tragic past. I was no angel.

Because the only woman I ever truly loved was the girl who stole my heart when it was committed to another, and I never recovered from the mess we created.

Seven years is a long time to wait for a second chance. I tried to move on and live without her. Now, Eden’s returned home to haunt me all over again, making me feel all the things I can’t deny when she’s near.

She might have her running shoes strapped on tight, but I’m desperate for her to stay this time. In order to do that, I need to find a way for us to put the past where it truly belongs, buried six feet deep with the person whose death still stands between us.

I didn’t become one of the best in the league by playing it safe. Eden’s always been mine, and it’s time she finally learns it, too.

An emotionally raw and gritty reconnection of first loves! With the first book in her brand new Nashville Steel football series Stacey Lynn is pouring out the strife when the QB receives a blast from the past when the one that got away arrives back in town and drama ensues. The characters are flawed, yet redeemable and the heartfelt connections felt throughout with neighbors and family are really heartwarming. I loved every minute of their story and look forward to more to come in the series!

Cole is a complex character. He’s an awesome father and strives to be a good man, but his teen selfishness still comes back to bite him after all of this time. He’s easy to like and easy to forgive for his mistakes.

Eden is kind and fragile and easily misunderstood by most. I really liked her and was happy to see her heal and find her place in the world.

I highly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a sports romance with a whole lot of heart and drama behind the scenes.

Sneak Attack by Stacey Lynn is now live!

* Release Blitz/Review * ROCKED BY LOVE by Melissa Foster

I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.

Rocked by Love by Melissa Foster
Series: The Bradens & Montgomerys: Pleasant Hill - Oak Falls #10, A Braden - Bad Boys After Dark Crossover
Published by World Literary Press on March 8, 2023
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

What happens when a rock star with no plans of settling down finds out he has a teenage daughter, his manager is embezzling from him, and the woman he’s hired to design his tour wardrobe is breathing fire? Come along for the snarky, emotional, and insanely sexy ride as Jillian and Johnny get caught up in a storm that just might be bigger than both of them.

Jillian Braden’s quick, creative thinking and fierce determination have helped her singlehandedly build a fashion empire. She doesn’t mince words and demands respect, but beneath all that armor, she carries the Braden curse of a soft heart. But that soft heart isn’t looking to start a family and doesn’t know the first thing about mollycoddling. When famed rock star Johnny Bad hires her to design his tour wardrobe and then postpones it at the last minute for the third time, she’s had enough. Jillian is determined to set him straight, but she isn’t at all prepared for what she finds or for the type of help Johnny Bad really needs.

Filled with smoking hot chemistry, electrifying characters and more heart than you could have ever imagined! Melissa Foster is pouring on the sass with Jillian Braden’s story and I loved every single minute of watching her bring Johnny Bad to his knees! You are thrust into the heart of the story from the very first page, but you have so much more to look forward to as each chapter brings more warmth and love to the forefront and you become a member of this family page after page. Drama, romance and warmth are all guaranteed. I’m so looking forward to more from the Bad family too!

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a heartwarming family atmosphere wrapped around steamy couplings as each sibling finds their forever love and brings them into the family fold.
