A slow burn, second-chance rom com!

She broke his heart ten years ago.

Now he's back -- and her new boss.

And she might still be semi in love with him.

But that’s no problem, right? They can keep it professional.

Until her grandmother gets involved.

She’s thrilled to think that Whitney and Cam are still in love. And invites him to move in with her…and Whitney.

Of course, Whitney can handle that too. Yeah, everything is fine. Just fine.

Until Cam makes it clear that he’s all in.

Having him back is very sweet, but can she really have it all? Or will it all crumble around her?

  A reunion of first loves, a cast of close friends/family and sweets galore … what more could you ask for in a romance? With the fourth book in her always scintillating Hot Cakes series Erin Nicholas brings together two power players for the reunion we’ve all been waiting for in SEMI-SWEET ON YOU. It was definitely a slow burn reunion, but the connections between friends and family throughout held a reader’s attention easily. Looking forward to more in the series!

Camden McCaffery is a really down-to-earth character in this book. He was more arrogant and sure of himself in previous stories, but being humbled by the opportunity to possible reunite with his only love is good for him. He shows us a softer side … and I loved it!

Whitney Lancaster is one of those characters that makes you want to reach into the pages and shake her once in awhile because she hesitates when all she’s ever dreamed of is right in front of her for the taking. It was heartwarming to watch her start to understand the dynamic of what true love can look like.

I recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who loves a steamy romance mixed with a sweet cast of friends, families and happily ever afters.

Excerpt:

He leaned in, close enough that she could feel his breath on her lips when he said, “Let me kiss you.”

Oh damn. She wanted that. She wanted it so much. She was weak.

“I—” she started.

“The tea is getting cold!” Didi bellowed from the kitchen.

Whitney and Cam stilled. Then she felt him sigh. But he didn’t pull back. “You going to let me do this or not?”

He was already practically kissing her. When his lips moved as he spoke, they brushed hers ever so lightly. His body heat surrounded her. She swore she could feel his heartbeat pounding. Or maybe that was hers.

They both clearly wanted this. She certainly wasn’t pushing him away or stepping back. But the only actual connection was his hand on her face. And their mingling breaths.

Clearly he was going to insist that she make this decision. He wasn’t going to just sweep her up and kiss the hell out of her before she could protest and then let the chemistry take over.

“Whit,” he said, his voice low and rough. “Push me back or pull me closer.”

She slid her hands up to his chest, not sure until the last moment if she was going to fist his shirt and pull him in or push him away.

Cam, however, didn’t look surprised when she pushed.

He let go and stepped back though. He didn’t seem angry or even frustrated. It seemed that he’d been expecting her reaction actually.

“Okay,” he finally said.

She wet her lips. “Thanks,” she said, hoarsely. And she meant it. She appreciated that he was giving her these choices. Kind of.

It would be a lot easier to just climb him like a tree and give in to everything zipping between them if he’d just back her up against the wall, seal his mouth over hers, and start running his big hands over her body. Then she could pretend she was just caught up in the moment and enjoy the hell out of it without actually admitting she wanted any of that.

Which he knew.

She could see it.

He knew that she wanted him, but that she didn’t want to admit it.

So, of course, he was going to make her confess before he did anything more.

“In case you’ve forgotten, I’m very stubborn,” he said.

Whitney gave him a nod. “I remember.”

“And something you should know about me and the past ten years,” he said, holding her gaze steadily, “I’ve also gotten very used to winning. “

That actually made her heart trip and her inner muscles clench.

See, she should really feel trepidation at that implied promise from him. But she didn’t.

“I’ll keep that in mind,” she said, trying desperately not to act excited about the idea of him trying again and again to get close to her.

He looked at her for a long moment and a thought flickered through her mind—he knows.

Years ago, bestselling author Jack “Jock” Steele lost his girlfriend and baby in a horrific accident that drove a wedge between Jock and his family, keeping him from sharing a devastating secret. An aging philanthropist saved him from the brink of despair, and for a decade Jock cared for his ailing friend who became his family. Now his friend has passed away and left him a fortune—on the condition that he publishes another book. Jock is floundering, unsure how to rebuild the life he’d walked away from, much less find his muse, have another relationship with a woman, or even think about having a family of his own. But he can’t get his sweet, sexy new friend, single-mother Daphne Zablonski out of his head, and her adorable toddler must know something he doesn’t, because she wraps her tiny fingers around his heart and won’t let go.

Daphne has been through the wringer with her ex-husband and doesn’t believe true love is in the cards for her. Friends she can handle, but letting a man see her mom bod naked? Especially someone as strikingly handsome and unbelievably sexy as Jock? No, thank you. Besides, she has a toddler to chase after and enough fictional boyfriends to fill her lonely nights. If only her book boyfriends could make her body tingle the way one look from her mysterious neighbor does.

As Jock and Daphne’s friendship turns to something too tempting to deny, their lives take an unexpected turn. Can a man who has lost everything find redemption with a woman who has everything to lose? And then there’s that secret…

 

Melissa Foster is on fire with the kick off to her new Steeles at Silver Island series! In TEMPTED BY LOVE we quickly fall in love with Daphne’s little girl Hadley who has her heart set on making sure Jock is hers. The story line is emotional, the characters are endearing and the family and friends around them add so much depth to their story. I loved Silver Island and the Steeles and can’t wait for more from this family. What a ride!

Jack “Jock” Steele is a bit of a mystery at first, but it doesn’t take long before Daphne has unraveled his history and we feel so much for this guy who’s had it rough over the years. Watching him begin to heal and feel again is heartwarming.

Daphne Zablonski is a doll and quickly steps into the protective mother roll as she watches her little girl’s heart hurt as time and again Jock runs away from her. Watching him start to fall under her spell is so rewarding, and their passion for each other is off the charts HOT!

I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves an emotional, family and friend centric plot that adds another dimension to the steamy romance taking place as they fall in love.

Ralph

Being traded to Dallas was a dream come true. I had everything I wanted, my game had never been better, and my wife was due to have our baby any day now.

What could go wrong?
Everything.

I was now raising our baby on my own. After hockey practice and games, I didn't have time to sleep, let alone make sure my social media was up to par.

I never thought I'd get a second chance at love.

Candace

When my hotshot brother was drafted in the NHL, he didn't have time to do his social media, so I took over for him. Little did I know it would become my career.

My plate was full with over fifty NHL players, and I wasn't taking on any new clients.

Yet when he showed up on my doorstep with the cutest little girl in the whole world, I couldn't say no.

I was just helping, but it turned into more than that. He's the man I've been waiting for.

All it takes is one touch, one night, one chance, and only one kiss

 

Gut-wrenching emotion mixed with steaming hot chemistry makes for an awesome read! With the first book of a brand new Only One series Natasha Madison brings despair to life in ONLY ONE KISS and I loved it! We are entrenched into the story line from the very first page and who could put it down as train wreck meets a sunny day page after page? The hockey play was a bit light, but the team connection was there somewhat behind the scenes. I’m so looking forward to the next in the series!

Ralph Weber is so appealing. He’s an adorable father to this rosy cheeked baby girl who steals a readers heart time and time again throughout the book, and he’s mentally exhausted from all of the turmoil he has going on inside his head. Meeting Candace is a breath of fresh air.

Candace Richards is easy to like. She is strong and playful and even though she’s super busy she makes time to take Ralph on as a client because who could really resist him? When sparks become too hard to resist their world changes one day at a time.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves an intensely emotional sports romance that centers more on the relationship than the game.

BULL
I lost my wife on a rainy night almost two decades ago.
Since then, my heart has been a barren wasteland.
It only knows love for family and the club.
And for revenge.
Then I meet Taylor and I know I’m doomed.
Because she’s everything I didn’t know I wanted.
Everything I’ve denied myself for years.
But my club is about to storm headfirst into a war and I can’t afford the distraction.
Yet I can’t get her out of my head.
We both say we’re not interested.
But we are both liars.

TAYLOR
For years we’ve been running from my past.
My kid brother and me.
Hiding in the shadows.
Now we have a chance for a new life in a new town … far, far away from trouble.
I crave freedom and a quiet, simple life for us both.
The last thing I expect is to fall for the enigmatic biker king, Michael “Bull” Western.
He is magnificent.
White-hot and scorching.
With the touch of an angel and eyes of the devil.
He could be the love of my life.
But I have a secret.
A very big secret indeed …

 

Emotionally raw and oh so sexy! With book six in her always exhilarating Kings of Mayhem MC series Penny Dee brings us the man we’ve all been waiting for. From the moment we learned early in the series that MC President Bull had lost his wife and shut himself off from everything but the club, we knew he was going to be intense, and he did not disappoint.

Bull is eye-catching! He’s alpha and tough, but when he cares about someone, he’s all in and showing his heart easily. Hearing his story was heartbreaking, but watching him find love again was awe inspiring. I couldn’t have loved him more.

Taylor was really easy to like in the beginning and watching her fight her feelings for Bull had me pulling for them right from the start. When the twist in her life enters the story line, I lost a bit of my enjoyment in her, but she was redeemed somewhat.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a close-knit motorcycle club who will fight to the death for their family. Always addictive characters and their happily ever afters are intense.

Amelia loves her good friend, Avery. So much so that she agrees to do the stupidest thing ever.

A stranger photo shoot.

You know the type. The photographer takes photos of two individuals. Two individuals that, until that day, have never met in their life.

The moment she shows up at the photo shoot, she knows that she made a terrible decision.

Why? Because the total stranger about to be in an intimate photo shoot with her is the hottest thing that’s ever walked the streets of Kilgore, Texas. If not the entire US of A.

***

Adam wasn’t sure why the hell he agreed to something so stupid.

Call it temporary lapse of sanity.

When the photographer who shot his photo for the Kilgore Police Department’s benefit calendar asked him for a favor, he couldn’t say no. Not without looking like a jerk seeing as it was benefiting the Fallen Officer Foundation that he played a rather large part in.

Whatever it was that made him agree, he quickly realizes that it’s not worth it. Not when he walks into the studio and sees the massive bed with blood-red sheets dominating the middle of the room.

So uncomfortable he is at the sight, he’s about to head straight out the door and not look back when she walks in.
Amelia steals his breath away with just one glance, and all of a sudden, getting this stranger into his arms with his mouth on hers sounds like the best idea ever.

 

Sexy, sweet and suspenseful! With book eight in her much loved KPD SWAT Generation 2.0 series Lani Lynn Vale brings on the heat once again with ANY DAY NOW and I loved it! The characters were fresh, the plot was attention grabbing and the instant attraction between the main characters brought on all the feels. I can’t get enough of this series and am looking forward to more!

Amelia is adorable. She’s feisty, she’s sweet and she’s just mouthy enough to constantly be getting herself into one fix or another.

Adam is yummy! He’s manly, he’s kind-hearted and his devotion to Amelia is gorgeous.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who loves an alpha cast of men who love hard. This group of friends and coworkers always have each others backs and watching them each find their happily ever after is extremely satisfying.

He’s a smooth talking jock in trouble
She’s the solution to his problems.
Love is the last thing they expected to find.

Damon Prescott had it all. Star quarterback. Money. Fame. Now? He’s being accused of taking performance enhancing drugs and banned from the sport and team he loves.

Determined to prove he’s innocent, he hires tough as nails private investigator, Evie Wolfe. She’s able to bring a man to his knees with a glare, yet sensual in ways that take him off guard - and she’s everything Damon didn’t know he needed.

Evie’s used to men dismissing her, especially playboys like Damon Prescott so she’s not buying the sexual lines he’s trying to sell. She’s with him to do a job, nothing more. But you know what they say about the best laid plans? Sometimes you end up between the sheets with an arrogant football player anyway.

But when the case is over, can Damon convince Evie she’s the only woman for him or will she leave him tied up in love?

 

This series has already stolen my heart and I regret NOTHING! With book two in her Dare Nation series Carly Phillips continues to pour on the feels with Damon and Evie’s story in DARE TO TEMPT and I loved every minute of it! What more can we ask for than a tight knit family who are all successful and accomplished finding their forever love one sibling at a time? Oh yeah, being reunited occasionally with our favorite family … their cousins THE DARES! So rewarding!

Damon Prescott is delicious. He’s self-assured, he’s adorable and he’s at the top of his game. It didn’t take long for him to get under my skin and have me pulling for him to clear his name and get the girl.

Evie Wolfe is the bomb. She loves being relaxed but can turn into a bombshell when she needs to and takes no lip from anyone. I loved seeing her let her guard down and let Damon crack her hard shell.

I highly recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who loves a fast paced story filled with family, friendship and electrifying passion. There’s always an intriguing plot and the characters are so easy to love. I’m looking forward to the next book!

As the prince of a luxury hotel empire, I am as close to American royalty as one can get. I grew up accustomed to a certain lifestyle. One where people give me what I desire and anything, or anyone, else can be bought. Everyone wants a piece of me, yet no one is actually deserving of my time.

That changes when Bailey Robbins, the smoking hot housekeeper in one of my hotels, catches my attention. Sure, she has curves for days but it’s her smart mouth I can’t help but be intrigued by. I may have avoided relationships all my life, but something about her makes me want to introduce her to my world.

The darker, wicked side of Declan Blackwood.

 

Steamy and emotional! With the ninth and final book in The Wicked Horse Vegas series Sawyer Bennett delights her readers once again with the taming of a playboy in WICKED BILLIONAIRE. The plot is thick with tension and angst, yet the emotional connection between these two from early on brings a softness to Declan that we weren’t expecting. I loved their story and will miss this series so!

Declan Blackwood is self-assured and demanding and I loved every minute of him. It was so rewarding to see Bailey touch a part of his heart that he normally keeps hidden away.

Bailey Robbins is sassy and sure that she deserves more out of life. She happens to be in the right place at the right time to make a giant step forward when she catches Declan’s eye.

I highly recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who loves a super steamy romance with lots of sexual tension, unexpected connections and happily ever afters that will make you melt.

Resisting her may be his toughest test of all...

Finnish hockey star Miikka Laasonen may seem to live a charmed life, but the reality is that he's lonely. His struggle with learning the English language makes it hard for him to fit in and to make matters worse, his Finnish girlfriend tires of their long-distance relationship and dumps him.

Kindergarten teacher Charlotte “Charli” Bartosiewicz made a life-changing decision in her teens, and she’s battled guilt and regret ever since. She punishes herself by refusing to date and staying to herself because she doesn't feel worthy of love.

When introduced by a mutual friend, Miikka recognizes another lonely soul in Charli, but there’s more to it than that, something he’s never felt before. He convinces her to take a chance on him by tutoring him in English, but he really wants her to take a chance on love.

Miikka is determined to convince Charli that she's worthy of him. But even if he does, will their love be strong enough to go the distance?

 

An emotional journey of healing and love! With book six in her delicious Alaska Blizzard hockey series Kat Mizera brings us Miika’s story in CHASING CHARLI and it’s adorable, sweet and sexy all rolled into one! The characters drew me in quickly, had me smiling in no time and continued to pour on the feels thoughout. This book was fast paced, emotional and one of my favorites of the series!

Miikka Laasonen is sexy, brooding and downright adorable. I couldn’t find a thing to dislike about him, and enjoyed getting to know all sides of him as he fell hard for Charli.

Charlotte Bartosiewicz is as sweet as can be, but she has a past that is dragging down her ability to trust and move forward in life. Watching her fall in love with Miikka and see the depth of trust it took for her to accept his goodness was pure magic.

I highly recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who loves a good hockey romance that gives you an emotional read filled with a close knit group of teammates and their families. I always look forward to returning to Alaska!

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…

There are a few lessons one has to learn for themselves. Then there are the lessons that most people don’t have to learn because it’s just not done.

For instance, most people know instinctively that they shouldn’t crave the mother of their brother’s child.

Bourne Pena isn’t most men.

Bourne does everything he can to fight the attraction he feels for Delanie, but in the end, his refusal to go there almost ends up costing him his life.

***

Delanie Davidsdottir just wanted to forget. One night, she wanted to feel like a normal human being.

That one night changes her life and gives her a son that becomes her heart and soul. From that point forward, she does her level best to keep her head on straight and not make any more mistakes.

And falling for her child’s father's twin brother—say that three times fast— would be a mistake. Not only is he Trouble with a capital T, he’s also a SWAT officer that puts his life on the line every single day.

She can’t take another loss like the one she suffered once before.

Then again, Delanie never encountered a man like Bourne Pena before, either.

 

Double trouble! With book seven in her always enjoyable KPD SWAT Generation 2.0 series Lani Lynn Vale delights her readers with the story we were holding our breath for since the last release. With JOIN THE CLUB we get Bourne and Delanie’s story which is the climactic follow up to each of their twins’ story in book six. There were some holes in the story if you didn’t happen to read Booth and Dillon’s book previously that might leave you a bit confused, so I definitely recommend you read JOKE’S ON YOU before reading this one even if you’ve read no other book in the series. For a super fan of the series who knows what is happening, you’ll be pleased with the story line as it’s fast paced, full of heart and steamy in all the right places!

Bourne is a dream of a character. He’s confident and sexy, yet tender and loving with the people that mean the world to him … like his favorite little man Asa and his mama.

Delanie is a joy to get to know and watch her get to finally express the feelings she’s been fighting for Bourne for so many years. Their story is sweet and satisfying.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a close-knit cast of a SWAT team whose members work hard and play harder as they pair up with the women of their dreams and settle into family life. The series is sexy and sassy!
