Tessa Chauncy is the best kind of trouble. Beautiful, sweet and completely off limits. I’ve sat by and watched other men drool after her and forced myself to stay in check. Hey, I’m in the NHL... I have self-control in spades.

Except when it comes to her.

With the bat of her lashes and quick whip of that sharply pointed tongue Tessa can knock grown men to their knees. I’ve seen them wither and crumble under her confident stare— something I’m pretty sure she learned from sparring with me, thankyouverymuch.

But I’m not just falling for her. I’m down for the count.

She’s the girl I wanted, when wanting her was wrong.
She’s also my new roommate--
And oh yeah, my best friend’s little sister.

Heaven help me, I’m probably going to get his fist to my face or his hockey stick shoved in very dangerous places for what I’m about to do, but I don’t think I care anymore.

I’m in love with my best friend’s little sister….and I’m done waiting.

 

Decadently sinful! With book three in her always steamy Ice Kings series Stacey Lynn brings us Jason Taylor and Tessa Chauncy’s story and it’s delightful! Easy to love characters, spot on chemistry and enough laughs and heartfelt moments to draw you in and hold you tight. I’m so looking forward to more in the series!

Tessa is attention grabbing from the start. She’s self-assured and independent, but when her world starts crumbling she’s quick to seek the comfort of family. Her crush on Jason is finally being rewarded … and it’s awesome!

Jason is all the feels and more! He’s brash and sweet all rolled into one and I adored him. Watching him comfort Tessa and finally decide to put all of his feelings out there is magical.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a good hockey romance filled with a close group of guys and the women who love them. Always guaranteed to be filled with laughs, heart and lots of heat!

Excerpt:

I scoop more chicken onto a folded chunk of naan and moan as I savor the taste. There are some decent restaurants where I live, all within walking distance, which is a bonus, but none are as good as Tandor’s. I can’t even piece together what makes it so delicious but it’s mouth-watering amazing.

“Jesus, Tessa. Can you not sound like you’re having an orgasm when you eat?”

I choke on my chicken and wash it down with my water. “Don’t like it, you can leave.”

“But then I won’t be able to share with you why I’m here.”

The chicken I’ve devoured rolls in my stomach. Obviously it’s not because he’s a nice guy. I lean back in my chair. “What is it?”

He huffs a laugh and I hate he looks so damn good, smirking at me, shaking his head like I’m some amusing little thing.

“You’re cute, Tessa. I ever tell you that?”

“I think the day you took me to get stitches in my head, yeah. You bopped me on the nose with a finger and said ‘cute and tough, nice’ before ignoring me the rest of the weekend.”

I’m mortified with myself. He’s not supposed to know these things, know how much I remember every.single.encounter with him ever.

His mouth opens a bit and he stares at me. Yeah. That dose of word vomit probably surprises the hell out of him too. But hell, in for a penny. He says he doesn’t give a shit about what Sawyer thinks? He should know what I think.

“I’m pretty sure that’s the day I started having a crush on you.”

He doesn’t take his eyes off me as he chews on what I think is chicken tikki masala. Slowly, he swallows and sets his own fork down. Leaning forward, elbows on the table, I’m tempted to drop my gaze to his mouth and watch his full lips move so sexily as he opens his mouth and asks, “Want to know when it started for me? When I started facing the reality that it was my best friend’s little sister that made my dick hard in my dreams at night and when I was on the road?”

I never meant to say a word, not one single word.

But I did.

Now because of something I leaked—without even realizing it—I've inadvertently broken up one of the Ice Knights’ most legendary bromances. And worse—I've kicked hockey star Ian Petrov's grumpy level to insane levels of grump.

And what could make it worse? How about the two of us being trapped together in a remote cabin after a massive blizzard. Neither of us can leave. Just us, the snow, his resentment, and OMG sexual tension so thick it would take a snowplow to break through it.

I’ve got to get out of here before I do something even dumber than I’ve already done and kiss the sexy with his misplaced anger and perfect pecs. That would be the worst, the absolute worst. But… would it be terrible if we gave in? Just a little? It’s not like we’re ever going to have to spend time together again.

Until the next morning when we’re told we have to play chummy for the press until this news cycle blows over. F.M.L.

 

Utterly delightful! With the third book in her always entertaining Ice Knights series Avery Flynn delights us all with Ian Petrov’s story. This grumpy hockey player is yummylicious and growls in all the right places, but he might have just met his match in tough girl Shelby Blanton!

Ian is a lot of fun to read. He is mad at the world when a major secret is uncovered that tears apart the best part of his days in hockey. He’s mad at the world and he’s especially mad at his jerk of a father, bonehead of a former best friend and the chatty cathy who told the world things he didn’t even know about his life!

Shelby is tough girl gold! She is at a good place in her life for a change and just wants this new job with the Ice Knights to go her way when it all starts to unravel in the blink of an eye … simply by accident! She’s got to find a way to make this right … before she starts falling for this grumpy gus of a hockey stud!

I highly recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who likes a whole lot of snarky sass to make you laugh out loud on a regular basis with your hockey romance. The characters are loads of fun and the story line always fast paced and interesting. I’m really enjoying this team!

four-half-stars

What do a cocky biker and a businesswoman who has sworn off dating bad boys have in common? According to Chloe Mallery, not much.

Justin came into the Wicked family after a harsh upbringing by a thieving father. He’s gone through a lot to become a true Wicked, and he’s made them proud. Now he’s ready to show the woman he loves exactly what type of man he is. But Chloe has worked hard to move past her difficult upbringing, and she’s wary of getting involved with a man who looks like he’s walked right out of it. When tragedy strikes, will their trying pasts draw them together, or will Justin’s protective nature be too much for Chloe’s independent heart to accept?

 

Delectably sinful! With the first book in her latest spin-off series The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside Melissa Foster brings us the man we’ve all been waiting for in A LITTLE BIT WICKED. Justin Wicked has been simmering in all of our Bayside fantasies for years now and it’s finally time that he lays it all on the line for Chloe Mallery. I adored them as a couple and am so looking forward to this series! While I loved them getting together and finding their way, I felt like their story was almost too overwhelmingly sappy. There were too many characters woven into one story which made it long and left the space for the turmoil and strife needed to accurately test their relationship feel a bit like a side spot. I was left wanting a bit more drama and less distraction, but they rocked that happily ever after.

Justin is a dream. He lost a bit of the alpha bad boy side in the telling of his story, but the emotional depth he portrayed was spot on.

Chloe is easy to like even if she does let her past rule her life a bit too much. She quickly realizes how much she’s been misjudging Justin and becomes present in the making of their relationship.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys an emotional story line that is heavy in family and friendship. You really can never go wrong with a Melissa Foster book if you’re looking for love, friendship and a whole lot of heart!

 

 

 

 

 

A LITTLE BIT WICKED
The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside
Melissa Foster
Releasing June 17, 2020
World Literary Press

Set on the sandy shores of Cape Cod, the Wickeds feature fiercely protective heroes, strong heroines, and unbreakable family bonds. If you think bikers are all the same, you haven’t met the Dark Knights. The Dark Knights are a motorcycle club, not a gang. Their members stick together like family and will stop at nothing to keep their communities safe. Their stories are told in the same loving, passionate voice readers have come to adore in Melissa’s other series. Some of the Wickeds’ love stories will be hilariously fun and deeply emotional, others will tear at your heartstrings and include injections of humor, but they will all leave you wishing you could climb between the pages and join them!

When the Dark Knights at Bayside and the cast of Bayside Summers collide, sparks fly, and trouble—or maybe love—is not far behind.

What do a cocky biker and a businesswoman who has sworn off dating bad boys have in common? According to Chloe Mallery, not much.

Justin came into the Wicked family after a harsh upbringing by a thieving father. He’s gone through a lot to become a true Wicked, and he’s made them proud.

Booth Pena definitely didn’t make the smartest of decisions when he was a teenager.

At eighteen, he knocked a girl up and signed up for the military all in the same day—signing his life away in more ways than one. Fast forward six weeks and he’s in bootcamp learning that he’s going to be a father while also learning that not only is he going to be deployed, but it’s going to stay that way for a year.

There weren’t a lot of things that the baby’s mother and he saw eye to eye on after that. He honestly wasn’t sure why he even slept with her in the first place.

Okay, that last part is a lie. He knows exactly why he slept with her. Because the real woman he’s in love with, her twin sister, Dillan, won’t give him the time of day.

Five years later, and he still wants her.

Now he’s home for good, being the best father and police officer that he can be, and still he’s not good enough.

***

Dillan Davidsdottir hated Booth Pena. Immensely.

She hated him because he slept with her sister, then left. Granted, she knew that he hadn’t meant to leave like he did, unknowingly and unconsciously leaving his son behind, but that didn’t change the fact that he had.

Five years later, and she still dislikes him just as much now as she did when he chose the wrong sister to take to his bed.

Maybe if he’d chosen her, her heart wouldn’t be broken, and his wouldn’t be untouchable.

But when a SWAT officer sees his life flash before his eyes, and decides that enough is enough, what’s a girl to do?

Give in, that’s what.

 

Forbidden love unleashed! Book six in the KPD SWAT Generation 2.0 series has Lani Lynn Vale tempting her readers with Booth and Dillan’s love story in JOKES ON YOU. It was fast paced and delicious to devour while that hint of intrigue kept us on our toes. I wanted more dramatics and justice based on the secrets we uncover, but overall it was a solid read and has me hungry for Bourne and Delanie’s story.

Booth Pena is easy to fall for as a character. He’s alpha but not in an “in your face” way, he adores his son, and he just can’t let go of the love he’s felt for years. Watching him finally reach out and grab for it after a scary incident is so satisfying!

Dillan Davidsdottir is easy to like as well. She’s kind and accomplished and does anything she can for someone she loves on a regular basis. She’s been fighting her feelings for so many years that now that they’re all coming to the surface, it seems so easy to just be.

I recommend this book and the series as a whole to anyone who loves a close-knit group of cops who go after love and family with everything they’ve got. There’s quite a connection of friendship, brotherhood and love in every book.

I don’t want anything to do with my crazy family’s drama, which I’ve been watching unfold from a distance over the last year, but now my grandfather has Alzheimer’s and I feel I need to at least make a quick visit to see him. My hockey season’s over, all I have to do is get through my teammate Steve’s wedding, and then I’m on a plane to Los Angeles to do my family duty. After that, I’ll head home to Manitoba for some summer R&R at the family lake cottage.

Molly Flynn
Nobody’s expecting what happens at my wedding, which becomes pandemonium. I need to get out of there. Fast. Who do I turn to? Jackson Wynn, one my fiancé’s teammates. He’s been a friend to me since I met Steve. For one night, we hide out in his condo, but he’s leaving in the morning for California. I want to go with him.

Jackson
I can’t take Steve’s fiancée with me to California. He’s going to flip shit over this. But the lying cheating bastard kind of deserves it, and I’ve always had a soft spot for Molly. Or maybe not so soft…because she’s not only sweet and kind, she’s hot as hell. This is a bad idea for so many reasons, and I sure as hell don’t need more drama in my life, but I can’t say no to her.

On this nutso trip, neither of us expect Molly to bond with my bonkers family…especially my poor, confused grandpa. And neither of us expect to bond with each other…

 

A good deed never goes unrewarded! With the next book in her ever-popular Wynn Hockey series Kelly Jamieson delights with family black sheep Jackson’s story. The plot is quick to draw the reader in, and the connection between the two is spot on. The drama was a bit light in comparison to the earlier books in the series, but it was a fun read none-the-less. Really enjoying this family!

Jackson Wynn is an easy-going, stand-up type of guy. He loves his family, but he hates the drama that seems to be the constant when he’s around them. With his grandfather getting progressively less healthy, he feels obligated to go home for a visit now that his hockey season is over, but then he’s high-tailing it to a relaxing summer.

Molly Flynn is a strong-willed, stand up for herself character and I really liked her. She is all set to start her life with the man of her dreams when it all crumbles down around her. She needs to get out of there, and her trivia buddy Jax is just the one to help her. She needs to get away from life right now … and tagging along on his family reunion in California seems like a good way to do it.

I recommend this book and the series as a whole to anyone who enjoys a good hockey romance that’s filled with emotion, drama and passion. This family is close-knit and delightful!

First love gets a second chance...

Norwegian-born professional hockey player Zaan Hagen has only ever loved two things: Hockey and Lexi. He never imagined he’d have to choose, until he was forced to let her go.

After beating breast cancer at sixteen, Lexi Rousseau vowed to live her life with no regrets. When her singing career took off with one of the hottest pop groups in the world, her dream came true— but it cost her the only man she ever loved.

When an unexpected turn of events brings them back together, Zaan and Lexi will have to learn to balance their demanding careers and irrefutable desires before history starts repeating itself. Have they finally figured out how to play the game without losing everything?

 

A highly emotional reunion of first loves! With the first book in her Sidewinders: Generations spin-off series Kat Mizera brings her readers an emotional delve into the life of stardom. The characters are attention grabbing, the emotion is rich and the passion is oh so yummy. I feel like there were some holes here, in particular if the reader didn’t read the start of their story in an earlier anthology, but overall it was powerful and richly satisfying.

Zaan Hagen is perfection. He’s down to earth, he’s loyal and he’s just self-assured enough to make everything look easy. He’s loved Lexi since the day he set eyes on her, but life on the road isn’t easy. This second chance at making it work seems like a gift … will they end up throwing it all away?

Lexi Rousseau is feisty, strong and easy to like even though parts of her are selfish. Her gumption to go for what she wants in life is what makes her stand out in the crowd, but her weakness has always been Zaan. She would be on top of the world happy if they could just get their schedules to meld this time.

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a hockey romance with lots of emotion and a rocky road to happily ever after. I’m looking forward to more in the series.

About the Author:

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 30 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 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…

When I win the pleasure of Harper’s company at a charity auction, I get exactly one date—one shot to win over the gorgeous and feisty brunette.

Game on. I play hard, and I love a challenge.

But just when I think I’ve finally carved out my shot . . . a huge secret implodes around us, threatening everything we’ve built.

 

Determination wins the game … and the lady! With the fun conclusion of her ever steamy Hot Jocks series Kendall Ryan takes us on the delectable ride of Jordie in TAKING HIS SHOT. The characters are easy to connect with, their chemistry is spot on and there’s an underlying depth to each of them that make them special.

Jordan Prescott is delightful. He’s just conceited enough to make him adorable, he’s down-to-earth and he’s got an emotional depth that not many see. His determination to date the coaches daughter makes for a humorous read.

Harper Allen is a successful, self-assured woman who doesn’t do hockey … and she most definitely doesn’t do hockey players. She’s so adamant that watching her fall for Jordie’s persistence is all the more fun.

I highly recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who enjoys a good hockey romance filled with a close-knit team of good guys and gals. They’ve been a great ride of laughs, passion and so much heart. Loved the series!

 

 

 

Taking His Shot

By Kendall Ryan

Release Day: June 9, 2020

She says she doesn’t date players.

She swears up and down that she’ll never handle my stick.

We’ll see about that, sweetheart.

When I win the pleasure of Harper’s company at a charity auction, I get exactly one date—one shot to win over the gorgeous and feisty brunette.

Game on. I play hard, and I love a challenge.

But just when I think I’ve finally carved out my shot . . . a huge secret implodes around us, threatening everything we’ve built.

Lily Gallo prided herself on her pristine reputation.
A dedicated bookworm.
An awkward goody-two-shoes.
Lover of fiction more than reality.

Jet Michaels had always had a broken moral compass.
A cocky egomaniac.
An unashamed womanizer.
Craving adventure instead of responsibility.

Lily never expected to come face-to-crotch with her old high school crush, and she never dreamed he’d make her an offer she couldn’t refuse. But what was supposed to be a platonic arrangement quickly spiraled out of control.

Can the inexperienced nerdy girl tame the notorious player?
Or will he peel back her pages, exposing the wildcat hidden underneath?

 

Decadently sinful! With book four in her Men of Inked: Heatwave series, Chelle Bliss brings all the sassiness and feels in BLAZE. I adored the characters, the pace of the story was spot on and the laugh out loud moments were divine. The ending was a bit abrupt with a smidge of a cliffhanger, but I loved them so much that I can’t complain. Looking forward to the next in the series!

Jett Michaels is strong, opinionated and so so swoonworthy. He has never been ashamed of living life, but he’s always had a time in the back of his mind when he would claim his destiny … and that time is now.

Lily Gallo is adorable! She’s awkward as all get out, but it just works on her. She had me laughing on more than one occasion and I loved the easy chemistry she had with every person she interacted with.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves an opposites attract story of a couple who was plainly meant to be. They have a great cast of friends and family surrounding them that make a great back drop to their love story. I’m definitely going back to catch up on the books I’ve missed in the Gallo saga!

four-half-stars

Those that truly know August Greenfield, will tell you that I live my life to the fullest. Work hard as part of the team at Jameson Force Security but play just as hard at The Wicked Horse Vegas. I have no regrets about my life.

Well, maybe just one.

Leighton Hale was my first love and the woman I wanted to spend my life with, but one day she was just gone. Vanished without a trace. Even my extensive contacts as part of the team at Jameson left me empty-handed in my search for answers. My single remorse is never being able to find out what happened to her, because no matter how difficult the truth may be, it can’t be as bad as never knowing at all.

Ten years later, a knock on my front door brings me face-to-face with the woman I thought I’d never see again and nothing in my life could have prepared me for the secrets she holds.

 

Emotional and decadently raw! With book eight in her much loved Wicked Horse Vegas series Sawyer Bennett continues to delight with WICKED SECRET. Fans of her Jameson Force Security series will see a bit of a cross-over here as the main character is employed there and some of the team comes into play in this book. I enjoyed it a lot and cannot wait for Declan’s story!

August Greenfield is intriguing. He’s seriously dedicated to his job, but equally enriched by his downtime. When a blast from the past reenters his life, he simply can’t believe it after all this time … and the secrets this one time love of his life spills are life changing.

Leighton Hale disappeared ten years ago without a trace and now that desperation has brought her to August’s doorstep, it’s time to share the burden of her secrets.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a sexually adventurous romance with a side of intrigue and danger. The characters were easy to connect with and their story was emotional and fulfilling.

* Release Blast/Excerpt* BEYOND JUST US by Kimberly Kincaid

May 19, 2020 Leave a Comment

Remington’s most cynical doctor is about to get upended by two little words:

I do.

Tess Michaleson runs her ER like she runs her life—no pretenses, no exceptions.

As a single mother, she can’t afford anything less.

As a woman who’s been burned by love?

She can’t believe in anything more.  

Her son and her job are the center of her world.

That’s all Tess needs.

 Until Declan Riley falls into her arms … literally. 

His tattoos and his Irish accent are enough to melt her panties

His diagnosis? That’s enough to break her heart.

But Tess can help him get the care he needs…

All she has to do is marry him.

Declan knows he should keep Tess at arm’s length.

What they have is temporary. Necessary.

And he knows from experience just

how dangerous getting close can be.

But the longer he’s around the smart, sexy doctor and her son,

the more Declan realizes

close isn’t enough.

He wants Tess. He wants it all.

Even if he has to do the one thing he swore he never would to have her.

From USA Today best-seller Kimberly Kincaid comes an older woman/younger man marriage-of-convenience story full of sizzle and sass. This full-length romance features an Irish American Air Force veteran-turned-model and a take-no-crap attending physician finding out if fairy tales really do come true.

Excerpt:

Declan had done countless harrowing things in his life. Relocated to an entirely different continent with little more than the clothes he’d been wearing. Willingly jumped out of all manner of aircraft. Completed dozens of ops he couldn’t discuss with anyone unless he wanted a big, fat court martial for Christmas (which—spoiler alert: he didn’t). But he’d never once been charged with caring for a baby, and even though Tess had given him three full minutes’ worth of rapid-fire instructions before she’d kissed her son and run out the door, Declan was starting to think this might be just a wee bit scarier than swan-diving out of a C-17.

But he’d promised Tess he’d help rather than sit around all useless and frail, so scary or not, if babysitting was what she needed, then babysitting was what he’d do.

“Right.” He squared his shoulders and looked at Jackson, who looked back at him with an equal mix of curiosity and caution. “So, I s’pose it’s just us for a bit. We’ll make the best of it, yeah?” 

As if the lad can answer, scoffed a voice from somewhere inside his head. But anything was better than silence, and besides, Tess had spoken to the boy in much the same way when she’d kissed him goodbye. It couldn’t hurt for Declan to at least give it a go.

Jackson eyed him warily, clutching his brightly colored octopus to his chest. They were going to have to get comfortable enough with each other for Declan to pick the boy up fairly soon, but he didn’t want to rush things and fuck it all up by frightening him. Or worse yet, make him cry.

Okay. He needed to think of this like an op. Objective: lull the target into a sense of safety and security. Strategy: slow movements, distraction, earned trust. Reconnoiter at the baby’s crib by twenty-hundred with a calm and happy target, ready for bedtime. 

Game on.
