Tight Spot by Stacey Lynn

Goodreads

When a fake relationship feels a little too real…. I’m in a Tight Spot.

I’m not a nice guy. I’m too rude. Too gruff. I want to be left alone and stay in my lane as one of the best tight ends in the NFL. Too bad management has a sudden problem with my image and all the fines I’ve been racking up.

Now I’m told I need to settle down, shape up…or they’re shipping me out.

Except no playbook could have prepared me for the Hail Mary pass they threw at me:

Enter Hailey Parillo. My fake girlfriend. She’s the Sunshine to my Grump, the Sweet to my Sour and the Smile to my Scowl. As ridiculous as it is, she agrees to play this fake game with me, for something in return:

Lessons in seducing a man and losing her virginity.

I almost balk at the idea, but I've got a career I don't want to lose in a city I don't want to leave.

AND little did I know this is the most important game of my life.

This unlikely pair heats up the pages and will have you pulling for them from the very start! He’s grumpy with good reason and she’s sweet and sincere. The mix is pure delight! Great characters, drama galore and just enough gruff to make the sweet all that much better. Loved them!

Hailey is a sweetheart and I loved her from the start. I enjoyed seeing her get the admiration she finally deserved.

Dawson has been a high point for the first couple of books. We knew the drama with his sister was going to come to a head and knock our socks off and boy did it. He’s had a bad rap … but he’s on the right path now.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone that enjoys a football romance with a lot of heart and steam. Not a huge amount of game time, but the characters are addictive and the happily ever afters are rewarding.

Stay Here With Me by Carrie Ann Ryan
Series: The Wilder Brothers #5
Published by Carrie Ann Ryan on August 14, 2023
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

The world thinks I only write songs about my ex-boyfriends.

They study each lyric to point a finger at which man broke my heart—even if I’ve never met him.

Only the man I refuse to write about is the one who is so tangled in my mind that I know I can never be with him.

I had one night with East Wilder, and I know that’s all there will ever be.

He broke my heart without even trying.

Yet now I can’t seem to write a single verse and I need a place to hide while I figure out who I am. The Wilder Retreat will have to be my refuge as the Wilders prepare for my best friend’s wedding.

And when I’m there, I refuse to fall for East again.

Even if the dark shadows in his eyes draw me in. And the dangers of his past might be the one thing that forces us to finally give in.

Emotional, sexy goodness! Carrie Ann Ryan is bringing on the angst with East Wilder’s story, the fifth in her addictive Wilder Brothers series and I loved the ride! The characters are easy to like, the turmoil is addictive and the passion that flares every time they look at each other is delightful. I’m loving this series and can’t wait to see what’s in story for Elliot!

Lark is a complex character. She’s successful and dedicated, but she’s having a bit of a re-awakening when she realizes the words she puts on paper are harder when they actually remind her of the guy she’s got in her heart. I liked her a lot and was happy to see her get what she wanted.

East has been a favorite since the start of the series because he’s been one of the most wounded that we knew would have a powerful story.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone that enjoys a group of close-knit brothers who rally together to re-enter real life after military careers and wind up falling one after another for their forever love.

Goodreads

Grace Bianchi has always been drawn to men who are allergic to relationships. But when a mysterious man walks into her shop, saving her from a disaster, she finds herself wondering… is he different than the others?

Ryder Cooper is fumbling his way through life. He’s been lost since his wife passed away, leaving him to raise two young children alone. But when he meets a beautiful tattoo artist with a zest for life, she makes him wonder…could he love again?

Never Too Soon is a journey of two broken hearts who believe in love as they mend their broken hearts, finding their happily ever after.

What a delicious read! Chelle Bliss is really tugging on our heartstrings with the second book in her Star Falls series and I loved every single minute of it! The characters are really easy to like, the chemistry is instantaneous and the emotions are high throughout. I’m looking forward to more to come in the series and seeing more of the Bianchi’s fall hard for their forever love.

Grace is strong and successful, but she’s got some secrets that weigh heavily on her. Watching her fall hard for this guy that truly deserves her is really heartwarming.

Ryder is a doll! I loved every minute of his journey of healing and falling for “the one”.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone that loves a close-knit family that butts into each other’s lives but it’s always done with love. Watching each sibling fall in love is really rewarding.

The Agent by Kimberly Kincaid
Series: The Intelligence Unit #7
Published by Kimberly Kincaid Romance on July 11, 2023
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

His enemy’s little sister is the only person with the power to undo him.

Nothing rattles stone-cold FBI Agent Kai Roman. Not chasing down ruthless criminals. Not losing his wife years ago. Not even inadvertently being caught in the middle of a bank robbery.

Except Camila Garza is right beside him when danger strikes, and suddenly he’s the only person who can protect the off-limits beauty. No matter how much her older brother hates him.

And no matter how much he secretly wants her.

Camila knows she should hate Roman. He’s made it clear he doesn’t like her—or possibly anyone—one bit. But when they have to go on the run to save their lives, she begins to see past his icy exterior to the man who would do anything to keep her safe.

Including risk it all.

Attention grabbing passion and angst from start to finish! Kimberly Kincaid is heating up the pages with the seventh book in her Intelligence Unit series when FBI agent Kai Roman can’t resist the draw of Camila Garza. There is a romance happening in front of us but an equal amount of draw towards the intrigue portion of the story and we’re left with a deliciously entertaining addition to a great series.

Roman is known for his cool and collected demeanor, but we get to know him for the pain he’s suffered and the things that truly make him tick in this book. I enjoyed him a lot.

Camila is sweet and sincere and really likes this gruff charmer.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone that loves a close knit group of co-workers/friends who always rally for the good and the bad for each other as each one meets their forever love and begins their journey into forever.

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!

* Release Blitz/Review * HENDRIX by Sawyer Bennett

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.

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.

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!

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.

I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.

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.

Release Date: April 10
