Blurb
Notorious
playboy.
Gym rat.
Womanizer.
I’ve been
called them all.
Until one-night
changes everything. Changes me.
Trying to
drown a broken heart in cheap whiskey and a willing body leaves me with the
last thing I ever expected.
All that
matters now is my son. There’s no room for anything, or anyone else.
Until her.
A free
spirit. A nomadic soul.
She
intrigues me. She excites me. She’s everything I never knew I needed.
In the end,
loving her was the easy part. It was letting her go that almost ruined me.
Struck
is a surprise baby/single dad romance and can be read as a complete standalone.

 

My review:

TJ is going through a tough time, and reacts by pushing away his family and spending his time drinking and fighting. After a wake up call, he finally gets himself together and focuses on his family and the gym he owns with his brother. Breeze is the youngest of her four siblings, raised by her older sister after losing both parents at young ages. She is a free spirit, working to save up money to travel the world like she’s always dreamed.

When his friends have a baby, TJ is at the hospital to visit when he takes a wrong turn and is confronted by a woman he doesn’t know. He learns that his one-night-stand wake up call was pregnant but died shortly after giving birth to his son, who he didn’t know existed. Suddenly his life has a new focus and he gives everything he can to being a good dad for his baby boy.

Bree is hired at Flex, TJ’s gym, as a yoga instructor and when she is so good with the baby, TJ also hires her as a part time nanny for him. They have been attracted to each other since meeting, but neither wanted to act on it for various reasons. Until of course they couldn’t help it.

This was a pretty good book. A couple times Bree’s age would show in her reactions, but TJ was mature enough to talk things through with her so they could work things out. The best part of this story though was all the interactions with baby Abel. They are both so good with him! TJ and Bree are good together, and their family and friends support system is  incredible.

The Red Zone by Amie Knight

TRZ - RB banner.jpg

The Red Zone, an all-new sexy, second chance romance from Amie Knight, is available now!

The Red Zone FOR WEB.jpg

They say the red zone is the hardest place to score.

But for me, those last twenty yards were my sweet spot.

They didn’t call me Lukas “Last Minute Lucy” Callihan for nothing.

I was at the top of my game…until life sacked me harder than any linebacker ever could.

Losing my mom was devastating and left me as the sole person responsible for my little sister.

Taking care of Ella and juggling my career was like playing the hardest game of my life.

My only saving grace was Scarlett Knox, Ella’s sexy, red-headed, no-nonsense teacher.

She loved Ella. She hated me.

She thought I sucked at this parenting thing, and she wasn’t wrong.

But whenever she was around I got the same earth-shattering, heart-stopping feeling I did when I was only twenty yards from the goal line.

She made me feel like I was back in the red zone, a place I’d never fumbled.

Until now.

 

My review:

Scarlett and Lukas were friends in high school when Scarlett was a freshman and Luk was a senior. She was his French tutor but they soon became close friends. Shortly before leaving town, Luk kissed Scarlett and then never talked to her again, breaking her heart.

Now ten years later, Luk is on a successful NFL team on their way to the Superbowl when he gets word his mother suddenly died. He moves back home to Alabama, guardian of his little sister Ella. Little does he know that Ella’s beloved teacher Ms Lettie is his Scarlett.

I loved this book so much! Luk is all about his family. He has adored his sister since she was born. But becoming her sole caretaker is another thing. He struggles with so much – his loss, being what Ella needs, his new team. And Scarlett is still the one who can help him. But she is afraid of letting him in again.

This book was so well written. The story is captivating and I felt like I was right there with the characters, experiencing things as they did. Luk and Scarlett are so perfect for each other, and I love how they created their own family.

Illusion On Ice by SR Grey

Title: Illusion on Ice
Series: A Boys of Winter Novel
Author: S.R. Grey
Genre: Sports Romance/Romantic Comedy
Release Date: May 28, 2019
Confession time:
My name is Noel Sandlund and I play professional hockey—defense to be exact.
I lead a pretty good life. I’m not hurting for money and the ladies seem to like me.
And now things have gotten even better—I think I may have fallen in love.
See, while I was in Sweden playing in the world hockey championships this off-season, I met Maisie Troy.
And, man, she’s it for me.
Confession time:
I’m Maisie Troy.
This summer I met a man who’s everything I’ve ever wanted and more.
His name is Noel and he’s hot and sweet and plays amazing hockey.
I think he could be the one.
 
Too bad there’s one huge problem—I’m not who he thinks I am.
 
No, I’m just an illusion.
An illusion that’s about to shatter . . . like ice.
Illusion on Ice is the seventh standalone novel in the bestselling Boys of Winter hockey romance series.

 
 

My review:

Maisie is stranded in Stockholm, Sweden, when a “girls trip” her mother lied to her about was in reality her mom running off with a new rich boyfriend. Noel is a hockey player at a tournament in Stockholm representing Team USA. Maisie, in her desperation to get home, had decided to take a page from her mother’s playbook and hook up with a guy to get a plane ticket home. But then they fell for each other.

I’m undecided about this book. You know that feeling when you know there’s going to be big time drama because a character did something huge? It’s unsettling when there is no consequence for the person’s actions. The story is entertaining, but Noel comes across a little naive. He and Maisie really do seem to love each other but I do hope she gets therapy to resolve her abandonment issues beyond just a brief epiphany while talking to Noel.

This isn’t a bad book. It’s entertaining, but doesn’t have a lot of depth. Neither of the characters have to work much to resolve problems.

Faking Ms Right by Claire Kingsley

Title: Faking Ms. Right
Author: Claire Kingsley
Genre: Contemporary Rom/Com
Release Date: May 28, 2019

 

 

 

“When I kissed you last night, I wasn’t pretending.”

 
Everly Dalton is a walking, talking, martini-drinking dating disaster. Forget kissing frogs. She can’t even get past the first date. But at work, she’s a badass—the longest-running assistant billionaire Shepherd Calloway has ever had. Her coworkers wonder how she handles the big bad wolf—and never gets bit. 
 
Shepherd Calloway isn’t interested in being anyone’s sugar daddy. Tired of women who only want him for his money, he swears off dating, determined to focus on running his empire. Until his gold-digging ex hits him where it hurts, putting him in a difficult position.
 
His solution—to have Everly pose as his live-in girlfriend—is obviously crazy. But the timing is uncanny. It just so happens Everly needs a favor from her boss—a big and awkward one—and this could ensure everyone gets what they want.
 
Besides, Everly can totally survive a few months of faux romance. 
 
Except there’s a problem. Shepherd is supposed to be a single-minded, unemotional robot boss. Not an actual human with a heart and morning wood. Between the awkward bed-sharing and tingly fake dates, lines are blurring. And as Everly gets to know the real Shepherd, she discovers there’s more to the man behind the bank account.
 
And faking it gets all too real.

My review:

I first “met” Everly Dalton in a series of bad date shorts in Ms Kinglsey’s newsletters and loved her. (By the way, they have all been compiled into a free prequel book, Everly Dalton’s Dating Disasters. I highly recommend reading it. The stories are hilarious!)

Everly’s dating life may be a series of horrendous first dates, but at work she is the best assistant Shepherd Calloway has ever had. He usually scares them off within weeks but Everly has kept his life running for three years. When he finds himself in need of a pretend date, she is his first call. And after getting bad news about his father’s health, they continue the ruse with Everly moving into his home.

Everly and her boss aren’t friends, but she feels protective of him, especially with all the gold-digging women using him for his name and his bank account. She agrees to help him out. She is surprised by the side of Shepherd he keeps hidden, and he likes the color she brings into his life.

I loved this book. Everly and Shepherd are fantastic together, their families are lovely, and Everly’s besties Nora and Hazel are #bffgoals. I am so happy that Everly finally has her happily ever after.

Hammered by Pippa Grant + Lili Valente

 

 

Title: Hammered
Authors: Pippa Grant & Lili Valente
Genre: Romantic Comedy

 Release Date: May 28, 2019

Blurb

 

I didn’t mean to kidnap the groom.It was an accident.

Mostly…

At least I didn’t take much time to plan it. It was more of a spur of the
moment kidnapping. Does that count?

One minute, the town’s bad boy is standing at the altar about to marry the
world’s most evil kindergarten teacher. The next, he’s passed out in my Vespa
sidecar with his bride hot on our tail.

But I didn’t have a choice! I couldn’t stand by and watch Jace O’Dell be
blackmailed into a loveless marriage. And besides, what’s a little kidnapping
between friends?

Okay, so maybe we’re not just friends…

And maybe I can’t quit thinking about that night at his bar when he closed up
early and had me on the rocks.

And maybe this crazy stunt is going to blow up in both of our faces.

If it does, I’m blaming the moonshine.

Even though the only thing I’m hammered on when it comes to Jace is
love—straight up, no chaser.

 

My review:

Olivia is known as the town hippie – she believes in auras and the healing powers of crystals and herbs. She also rescues lost things – and animals. She and Jace have been friends who flirt for a long time, and when Jace and his on-again-off-again girlfriend Ginger are definitely off, they hook up in his bar. Unfortunately for Olivia, Ginger turns up again pregnant with Jace’s baby, and decides to work it out with her for the sake of the baby. Being Happy Cat, Georgia, shenanigans ensue. Many shenanigans. The raccoon George Cooney is now joined by Chewpaca the alpaca and Princess the hedgehog.  Jace and Olivia are so good together, too.

Like the first book in this series, Hosed, we have an eclectic cast of characters who have a lot of heart. Happy Cat is small town life at its best. Don’t worry, though, if you haven’t read Hosed (and why  not??) the books are standalones and you won’t be lost if you read Hammered first.

Hot Mess by R Linda

 

 

Title: Hot Mess
Series: Messy Love #1
Author: R. Linda
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: May 27, 2019
Blurb
There’s always that one girl who has all these dreams, yet she can’t reach them because she’s constantly tripping over her own two feet.
That’s me. I’m that girl. The unorganized, chaotic, hot mess.
 
I’m the struggling artist who refuses to give up my love for pizza just because society constantly shoves thin, perfectly toned bodies in my face saying that’s what women are supposed to look like.
 
Oh, and I’m filthy rich. On paper anyway. I can’t touch my trust fund just yet, so to get those nasty debt-collectors off my back I rent out the snazzy mansion my parents left me. 
 
Of course it has to be Tate Montgomery who moves in—the super sexy celebrity with three million, five hundred and twenty-six followers on Instagram. And of course I have to be the paint-covered walking disaster who falls for said famous tenant.
 
The problem? Tate and I, we’re not compatible…at all. He’s arrogant. I’m stubborn. It’s a train wreck waiting to happen.
 
Yet, I end up kissing him anyway.
 
Told you I was a mess.

 

My review:

This was a fun, easy read. Wren is an artist whose parents died unexpectedly and she can’t part with the house or their belongings, even though she is struggling to keep the bills paid. She finally decides to rent out the mansion while she lives in the pool house. Tate is a famous model who needs a place to lay low and let some bad publicity blow over.

Tate and Wren have incredible chemistry. Even their bickering is entertaining. Wren’s friend Eva is funny, too. I love Wren’s free spirit and ability to stand up for herself. Her joy in the simple things is very refreshing.

This is a low drama, angst-free fun book. It’s perfect for summer reading.

Heat by Annie Dyer

Title: HEAT
Series: The Callaghan Green Series
Author: Annie Dyer
Genre: single dad, enemies to lovers, hot dad
Release Date: May 24, 2019

Steam isn’t just for the kitchen…
Hot headed, no social skills and she knew more swear words than a sailor. I was beginning to think I had a thing for my boss.
It didn’t matter that she barely knew the name of her employees or that she worked more hours than there were in a day running her restaurants, as soon as I knew she liked to dance, I wanted a taste of more than just her summer menu.
But what you want isn’t always what you get, and the courses fate had lined up weren’t guaranteed to be tasty.
 
Heat is a sexy single dad standalone in the Callaghan Green series.
Keep a fan handy.

My review

Simone is a Michelin-starred chef who owns two successful restaurants and is in the midst of opening up a third. She has kept the world – except for a very few friends – at arms’ length since her divorce five years previously, burying herself in her work. Jack is chef at one of her restaurants, single father to 15 year old Lauren.

A budding friendship and flirtation blossoms into so much more, but Jack and Simone each have their own baggage and insecurities. Not to mention a professional relationship that neither wants to tarnish.

I really loved this book. Simone has been through so much, and has closed herself emotionally to protect herself from further heartbreak. Jack has been a single father for 12 years, and looks after his brother from a distance. A threat to Simone brings them even closer together.

There is so much I liked here. The characters were well written. Lauren is incredible and I loved her relationships with both Jack and Simone. As the title implies, there is a lot of heat but there is also much heart and sweetness with a little mystery to round things out.

Posing naked in front of strangers isn’t the worst job.
Besides, artist Oliver London doesn’t have the luxury of being shy.
Being a figure model is how he keeps his artistic dream alive.
He’ll do whatever it takes.
Get naked, exist on bare necessities, live in a dingy apartment.
A relationship? Not likely.
The only woman he ever loved was sixteen the last time he saw her.
Stori Ryder’s unstable childhood has given her a drive to succeed.
She’s laser focused on Whiskey River, Manhattan’s hot speakeasy.
Distractions?
They don’t fit in her five year plan.
But the truth is your first love lasts forever.
You don’t forget the one who changes the way your heart beats.
When old friends invite them on a French Riviera wedding cruise, it all comes rushing
back.
Her kiss, his touch, the love that’s been sleeping deep in their hearts.
***
The Art of Love is a standalone and was previously released as
Sexceptional. There is a new cover, title and blurb but no new content.

 

My review:

Oliver is a struggling artist, working as a figure model to help pay the bills and help his parents with his sister’s medical care. After one modeling session, he is approached by a benefactor who is renowned for making artists a success. Stori is the owner of a successful Manhattan speakeasy, on the verge of purchasing the property outright and securing the future of her family and her employees. Stori and Oliver were high school sweethearts, but when Stori’s father is sent to prison she and her mom move away and she loses touch with Oliver. The reconnect when their best friends get engaged, and bring them on a weeklong European cruise and destination wedding. But can their relationship survive the real world once they return from paradise?

This was a good book. It wasn’t heavy on relationship drama, but there was “real life” drama. I loved all the characters. And the karaoke contest on the yacht was amazing. The book is entertaining and easy to read, but isn’t a light and fluffy book. It has depth, and heart.

The Second Coming by Carrie Aarons

Coming June 2 | Rogue Academy, #1

Book Blurb:

They call him the second coming.
Of honor for British football.
Of God in an athlete’s body.
Of every English woman’s fantasy.

Jude Davies is my country’s prodigy on the pitch. More famous than the nobility in Buckingham Palace, he and his merry band of scoundrels rule the Rogue Football Academy and the London nightlife scene alike.

And now, he’s aiming his well-honed set of skills directly at me. His devilish charm is lethal, but with the tragic hand life has dealt me, distractions like him aren’t an option.

Plus, we’re only playing a game. One of convenience, where he needs me to save his reputation, and I need his money to save the one person I love.

Until he wraps me around that immoral finger.
Until I crave that reckless, wild high he provides.
Until I hope for a future that will never happen.

That’s the thing about going toe-to-toe with the next football legend. He’s faster, stronger, and will destroy me every time.

Undeniable - BT banner

“Whoa. Undeniable is one of my top reads! Sizzling chemistry, off the charts sexual tension and all the feels I’ve come to expect with a Melanie Harlow romance!”- Ilsa Madden-Mills, Wall Street Journal bestselling author

Undeniable, an all-new sexy standalone second chance romance from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow, is available now!

Undeniable AMAZON.jpg

When we were eleven, Oliver Ford Pemberton dared me to jump off a barn roof. He said you couldn’t break a leg from a 12-foot-jump.

He lied.

(You can also break a collarbone, which served him right as far as I was concerned.)

I wish I could say it was the last dare I ever took from him, the last bet I ever made with him, the last time I ever trusted Oliver Ford Pemberton.

But it wasn’t.

Because he had the nerve to grow up gorgeous, charming, and sexy. And as we got older, the dares only got dirtier—and the betting stakes higher—until finally, he left me in pieces. I swore I’d never talk to him again.

But twenty years after I took that flying leap, he’s back in my life, daring me to risk everything for him: my job, my self-worth, and my heart.

How many chances does true love deserve?

Undeniable - Teaser 4 AN

Excerpt:

Fueled by pent-up lust and scotch, we stumbled into Oliver’s room and tore at each other’s clothes. It was hot and rough and a little bit violent, as if we were furious we hadn’t been able to keep our hands to ourselves and wanted to take it out on one another’s bodies. We pushed and pulled and growled and grasped. We called each other names and cursed viciously. We knocked over a lamp and ripped Oliver’s shirt.

When we finally exploded together, Oliver had me up against the door, and if our yelling didn’t wake the entire floor, then the pounding must have. I’d have bruises for days.

Afterward, we collapsed on the bed, naked and sweaty and exhausted.

“Oh my God,” I said. “I can’t believe we did that.”

“I know. Me either.”

“I think I pulled a muscle.”

“I think you bit me. Am I bleeding?”

I laughed. “No, but I hope you’re not seeing anyone. If you are, she’s going to wonder about all those scratches on your back.”

“I’m not seeing anyone.” He paused. “Are you?”

“No.”

Neither of us moved for several minutes. When I caught myself falling asleep, I sat up. “I should go.”

“Why? Just stay here.”

I looked down at him. “You want me to stay?”

“Yeah.” He opened his eyes. In the low light, they almost looked black instead of blue. “Spend the night with me.”

I waited for it—the dirty joke, the excuse, the subtle dig—the reason he’d toss out for asking me to stay. It couldn’t just be that he wanted me here.

But he didn’t say anything more. He just reached out and covered my hand with his.

I looked at our hands for a moment, and a thousand memories came rushing back. Some good, some bad, but all us. I felt close to him, and I didn’t want to leave. “Okay. I’ll stay.”

“Good.” He took off his watch and put it on the nightstand.
