Dirty Hookup - A Slayers Hockey Series Novel - by Mira Lyn Kelly






 

Blurb

One look and I know… this chick hates me.
I should walk away, find some puck bunny to gleefully sit on my lap and tell me what a big, hot, hockey stud I am--totally true, BTW. But there’s just something about this feisty redhead I can’t let go. She’s got an edge to her that’s sexy as hell and a smart mouth that’s been tying me up since the night I met her.

She tells me to forget it, we’re not happening. But this isn’t the kind of woman a guy ever forgets. Especially when the air starts to sizzle and pop every time we get within ten feet of each other. She’s in my head and under my skin, and all I can think about is the way she looked at me that one time. Like she already knew how it could be between us.

I’m not the kind of guy a girl like her takes home… But maybe I want to be.

Excerpt

Unfreakingbelievable.
Ducking around a corner, I press my back to the wall and suck one shaky breath after another until the spots behind my eyes finally clear, along with any wayward thoughts about a third Slayers hockey player needing a bed in the ER.
I can’t believe it. After all these years.
Quinn O’Brian.
Two feet in front of me. Giving me that same smile. The one that put my belly into free fall the first time I saw it. Left me breathless. And then less than a day later, left me humiliated. Devastated. Working up fantasies about the wrath I’d rain down on him if I ever saw him again.
So much for that badassery. My knees barely held me when I looked up to find those stupid sea-green eyes twinkling back at me like some Disney hero come to life.
Stupid eyes.
Stupid shoulders and muscles-everywhere body.
Stupid sandy blond hair standing up like some foolish girl just had her hands in it for the last hour.
And that introduction.
Blowing out a breath, I shake my head.
He didn’t even recognize me. Though why I ever thought he might is beyond me. Six years later and I’m still reading more into that night than there ever was. More into those soul-deep stares and slow touches. More into those tender words that turned out to be total lies.

This is an awesome story and I loved it so much. It is the story of instant love between George and Quinn. Quinn who is a hockey player on the team and he sees G for what he thinks is the first time and he falls hard but she hates him and I mean HATE. So its a bit like hate turning to her on her side as he pursues her and only her.

However G also fell hard for him until he forgot about her and treated her badly the next day and so now she just hates him. That is until their two best friends fall in love and they are forced together.

I loved the mystery and what happened in Mexico and why Quinn cannot remember G. It was a wonderful romance and I loved how hard Quinn worked to get G to give him a chance.

This is book 3 in the series about the hockey kids and this is Asher's story, he is Aiden's brother and he is paired with Alison Titon, who is Jakob's daughter. They are both best friends and have never had a romantic relationship largely because Asher has never shown an interest in Ali but everyone knows Ali loves him.

I am a new fan to this series, though I read Aiden/Shelley and Boone/Posey's stories but I never read the parents stories so the parents are pretty new characters to me. This book seems to stand alone as I was able to follow a long.

This is a bestfriends to lovers story but this story took a long time to get to the romance. One reason is that Asher dates Ali's roomie Angela and Ali goes back with her nasty ex, Taco. This is the first 50% of the book and I kinda hated this part of the story.

But after defending Ali these two finally get together but Asher was a character I had a hard time loving. For one his lust/romance with Ali is brand new and he is very up in the air about it. Ali has always loved Asher, she is in love and ready for more right away. She exhibits a lot more patience with him than I would have.

I like Alpha men and Asher is totally not that character. In fact he has tried to avoid too much feeling and love his whole life and Ali has to really drag him there. I loved the other two stories in this series much more but this was still a good story.

Checked by Elise Faber

Opposites attract hockey romance! Checked by Elise Faber is available now!
 
Universal -- getbook.at/CheckedEF
 
 

THE STORY

She was a laughingstock. A hippie. A tree-hugger. A granola, crunchy, millennial who worried about how her food was grown and what she put into her body and GMOs and . . . Had a secret chocolate addiction. Because even though she cared about all of those things, a girl had to live too. And Rebecca couldn’t live her life without 90% Cacao Super Dark Chocolate.
 
Addictions aside, it was her job to help keep the players on the San Francisco Gold healthy and she was damned good at it, so her hippie, granola background (and maybe also her PhD in Nutritional Sciences) had come in handy, at least to some degree. Especially since the team had taken home the league’s top prize last season. Unfortunately, not everyone thought her contributions were important. In fact, some people—cough one Dr. Gabe Carter—thought her position with the team was unnecessary. He thought her diet was too restrictive, her meal plan too out there. He’d actually told Rebecca that her program hadn’t been an important factor in the Gold’s successful season. But dammit, she knew she’d made a difference with the team, knew her work was important, and it didn’t matter that Gabe was gorgeous and a talented doctor, he still didn’t have any right to— Kiss her.
 
No. Kiss her or make her feel small. Yes, that. The second one. He was a jerk. She didn’t like him or care about his opinions and she definitely wasn’t in love with him. Definitely hadn’t been in love with him the moment she’d laid eyes on him— Sigh. She definitely was. And to make matters worse? Gabe knew.
 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

 
USA Today bestselling author, Elise Faber, loves chocolate, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and hockey (the order depending on the day and how well her team -- the Sharks! -- are playing). She and her husband also play as much hockey as they can squeeze into their schedules, so much so that their typical date night is spent on the ice. Elise is the mom to two exuberant boys and lives in Northern California. Connect with her in her Facebook group, the Fabinators or find more information about her books at www.elisefaber.com.

I am a newer fan of this author and I have only read one previous book in this series, but I was easily able to follow this story even without reading the other books in the series.

In this story we meet Rebecca, she is the teams nutritionist and we meet Dr. Gabe who is the teams doctor. Rebecca has decided the team needs to go Vegan to help them play hockey better and Gabe calls her out in a meeting about this issue.

So there is a little hate on at the start of this story. But its not a hate to love romance. Gabe actually after he looks into it finds that it is a great idea and he goes to Rebecca and wants to form a friendship and this story is actually more a friends to lovers story than anything else.

Before I go on I want to tell you, I have never read a story like this ever before. I have read hockey romances and even doctor romances but I have never read a story about a character that has so many issues but still tries to lead a normal life like Rebecca. Gabe was in awe of her in this story and so was I. I am very impressed with the author and how she wrote this very unique storyline.

Rebecca has anxiety. Not pop a pill anxiety but where she is anxious in any and all social situations. But she pushes herself and she has managed to make a wonderful life for herself . Enter Gabe who really likes her but also sees this and realizes that she needs friendship before anything else.

Change in Strategy by Sierra Hill


 


I knew this internship would change my life...


Thirty days ago, I received an internship with a design firm in L.A.

One day ago, I kissed a hot businessman in a swanky bar and then left him with a fake name and number.

Today, that sexy stranger is my new boss, and he’s not too happy when he finds out my real identity.

But that doesn’t change the fire that lit between us and now I have six weeks of trying to resist Brody Jensen. 

He might be out of my league, but I’d be out of my mind not to give in to the chemistry threatening to consume us.

I know Brody is breaking the rules for me, but he’s not the only one. 

Because I swore I’d never fall for the type of man my mother always warned me about— a man who is married to his job.

Too late.

This is book 2 in the series but I am a first time reader to this authors writing and I really enjoyed this story. It easily stands alone, I believe the first book is about this stories heroine, Peyton's friend. BUt Peyton is just a friend in this story, we don't even see her much in this story.
 
Peyton is graduating college and before her semester ends she has an internship in Los Angeles and so off she goes to LA. The first thing she does is she goes to a bar and their she meets cute guy. They really hit it off but she wants to concentrate on her internship.
 
The next day she goes to start her internship and guess who is her new boss? Yep its Brody! These two are really cute together as P and B try and resist their attraction. This was a fun romance about two very attracted people but who have to work together.

CHUTE YEAH by Lani Lynn Vale

 


Candy Ray Sunshine—Yes, that is my real name, thank you very much, Mom and Dad—knew two things.

One, she was going to work her butt off and open her very own coffee shop, even if she had to die doing it.

Two, Banks Valentine was the world’s worst ex-boyfriend in the history of ex-boyfriends. Even if they were only boyfriend and girlfriend for one evening. She wouldn’t sneeze on him even if he was on fire.

***
Banks Valentine also knew two things.

One, he was an immature jerk when he was in high school, and Candy Ray Sunshine probably could open a coffee shop if she put her mind to it. But he still thinks that she should shoot a little higher, anything that gets her the heck out of Kilgore, Texas.

Two, he likes riding bulls. It’s a dangerous job, and when he gets on the back of one of those thousand-pound death machines, he can finally feel his head clear enough that he can think.


***
Candy and Banks would never get along. Not after what he said, and definitely not after what she did.

Then again, neither one of them expected that night to end the way it did, either—the night that both of them refused to talk about the next morning.

This is book 3 in a series and its the only book I had read but as soon as I started it I realized I really needed to read the first two books. Can it stand alone? Yes, probably but I felt I had  missed a lot by not reading the other stories and so I quit midway and started with Book 2, which is where we meet Candy. Well soon after starting that book I realized it ran concurrent with book 1 so I quit and started reading the first book.
 
My opinion is that you really should start with book 1, book 2 and then read this book. I will say that we don't really get to know Banks until this story but Candy we meet in the first book. However because book 2 runs concurrent with book 1, you should really start with that first book.
The first book is Herd That, Then comes Crazy Heifer and then this book ChuteYeah.
 
Now back to my review of this book. This was an awesome story about Banks, the 3rd Valentine brother who is a twin to Callum and his high school enemy/crush Candy. These two have really been hurt, both in the very worst way . Candy to me seemed to get over the enemy thing fairly easy and Banks has always liked her, he just did not know how to deal with his emotions.
 
In this story, Candy has relationships with his brothers and their wives and that brings Banks back into her orbit. It is suggested that she pretends to date him to save him from buckle bunnies and so she goes on the road with him and this brings their new relationship around.
 
It is a very romantic and sweet romance with lots of hot scenes and two characters that have always liked the other but who had no idea how to deal with their feelings. I cannot wait for the 4th book in the series about the youngest brother, Darby.

Excerpt

I woke up with a start, sitting up in panic. There was drool in the corner of my mouth. Why was I in bed? Where was my son? I stumbled out of bed, heart racing. I remembered almost immediately that Maddox had arrived and had told me to take a power nap. Right. Geez. I slowed down in the hallway, putting my hand onto my chest to take a deep breath and calm down. Sully was fine. He was with Maddox. But when I went into the living room, they weren’t there. I realized the bathroom door was closed and the shower was running. Hold on. If Maddox was in the shower, where was Sully? Was he lying on my bathroom floor, which I had to admit, hadn’t been cleaned recently? The thought of my child rolling around on that cold, damp germ-riddled floor had me opening the bathroom door to rescue him. Sully wasn’t on the floor. He wasn’t anywhere to be found. My panic kicked into high gear again, and without hesitating, I ripped back the shower curtain to demand Maddox explain where the hell my child was. The words died on my tongue. Because Sully was in the shower with Maddox, looking pink and chubby and delighted, hand out in front of him to catch the water as he rested comfortably on Maddox’s hip. Maddox’s naked hip. Maddox, who didn’t look pink and chubby and delighted. Maddox, who looked like a hard, sexy-as-hell, bad boy. His head was under the water, body turned toward me so Sullivan was out of the direct line of the stream. Which meant I could see every single full-frontal inch of Maddox. He was hard. Everywhere. Muscles on muscles, decorated with tattoos over a good fifty percent of his incredible body. Incredible and firm body. I tried not to look at everything. I really tried. But my gaze seemed to have a life of its own and took a peek at his lower body. My mouth went dry. My cheeks hot. That was a big cock. Inches from me. “Hey, is everything okay?” he asked, pulling me out of my dumbfounded stupor. I yanked my gaze back to his face, mortified. “You didn’t sleep very long,” he said when I just stared at him. He didn’t look even remotely uncomfortable with the fact that he was standing under a stream of hot water totally naked in front of me. Finally, I pried my tongue off of the roof of my mouth. “I’m sorry, oh my God. I didn’t mean to…” I gestured to his body. “I just woke up and I didn’t know where Sully was and I freaked out. I’m not used to having help…” I trailed off, pressing my lips shut. Maddox just gave me a grin. “Not a problem. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you. I should have told you I wanted a shower.” Sully reached for me, bless his little heart. He saved me from further embarrassment. “Grab a towel before you take him,” Maddox said. “He’s slippery.” He looked down at Sully and bounced him on his hip a little. “Aren’t you, little man?” Now that my eyes were studiously focused above the waist, and I’d dragged my sex-deprived mind out of the gutter, I was amazed at how at ease Maddox was with my son. He’d been made to hold a baby, and as I reached for a towel, I felt a yearning for a father for Sully for the first time ever. This was all really confusing, dangerous, and potentially disastrous. I needed sleep and sex, clearly. Towel in hand I got as close as was necessary to take Sully safely without touching any of Maddox’s naked body. My cheeks were hot. “Maybe I can take a shower after you,” I said. “I think I’m on day three without one.” “You could hop in now,” he said. “There’s room.” Maddox said it like it was totally normal. Like he wasn’t naked in front of a woman who’d never seen him naked before. Like he had seen menaked before, which he most definitely hadn’t. Like we were a couple with a baby and not old friends, if you could even really say that. It wasn’t like I knewMaddox. We’d never talked about anything real. He’d just always been around our house with Steven. This new dynamic was bizarre for me. “Why are you teasing me?” I asked, genuinely curious. And again, no filter. “It was always the other way around. I teased you because I was older.” His eyebrows shot up as I took Sully from him and wrapped him fully in the towel. “Am I teasing you? Is that what I’m doing?” “Well. Yes. Aren’t you?” He put his head under the water and ran his hand over it. A few water drops arched out and landed on my arm. So much wet skin. Everywhere, just skin and wet. Lord, I was losing it. “I was flirting, not teasing. There is a difference.” That befuddled me. “Why?” “Because you’re an attractive woman and I’m a normal guy who likes to flirt with women. Or maybe I’m just being friendly.” I backed up, needing space. The room was warm and humid and I was having a very difficult time not looking where I shouldn’t look. “This arrangement isn’t going to work if you do that. Say suggestive things all the time.” “Why? It’s not a big deal.” Maddox stared at me with those dark eyes. Intently. “Is it?” What the hell was he really asking me? I had no idea. I was flustered and I took another step backward. “Maddy. Stop. You’re barely out of high school and I’m a mother. You’re going to be my nanny. We have to be professional. Maybe that’s not the right word, but you know what I mean. Friends who are helping each other. Platonic friends. Not flirty. You’re like a little brother to me.” The look he gave me was smoldering. His nostrils flared. His shoulders tensed. He paused with the bottle of shampoo in his hand. “Sure,” he said, his casual voice completely at odds with the intensity of his expression. “Whatever you want, Savannah. I promise not to flirt with you.” Then he grabbed the curtain and pulled it shut, blocking him from my view. Good. Great. Perfect. Glad we had established boundaries. That was the way it needed to be. I had no business behaving in any other way than as a big sister to Maddox. So why did I feel so disappointed? Because I didn’t look at him and see a kid brother anymore. I hadn’t known him in years and he was different now. It was terrifying. I took my son out of the bathroom and to my bedroom to get him diapered and dressed. Maybe it was time to start dating again. Over a year without a date or sex was clearly too long. I was an eternal optimist. I believed in a happily ever after. I could watch romantic comedies for seventy-two hours straight. I loved love. Unfortunately, I wasn’t very good at it personally. My friends all told me I was too quick to overlook red flags and to give people second chances. The first was probably accurate. The second I stood by. Everyone deserves a second chance. But my bullshit meter was definitely broken. Sully’s father had looked great on paper. A contracts lawyer. Apartment in SoHo. Wealthy parents who had given him a private school education in Manhattan. He’d said he was interested in a relationship. In leaving behind his playboy twenties and settling down into something “real” since he had turned thirty. Apparently, an unplanned pregnancy had been too real. I had expected him to be shocked and not entirely thrilled with the news. I had not expected him to be livid. When I had told him I was having the baby, he’d punched a hole in the wall, terrifying me. He’d said terrible things, accused me of entrapment. No happily ever after. Just me getting the hell out of there and vowing to stay the hell away from Adam. It was probably the first time I would not have given someone a second chance. Not that he’d wanted one, but my concern had shifted from my own personal feelings to concern for my unborn baby. The maternal instinct was strong. Like the force. I wanted no part of a father being around if he resented it. Laying Sully on my bed, I rubbed his soft skin with the towel and felt my heart swell with love for him. He was perfection even if his sperm donor had been, well, not so great. I hated to think of him as a dick. Even if he was one. Moving quickly before Sully objected, I got a diaper on him and a clean onesie. Then little khakis and a blue sweater. The fact that they made khakis for six-month-old babies gave me a happiness I couldn’t even express. Could anything on the planet be cuter? I picked him up and gave him a belly kiss. “You look like a little man,” I cooed to him. “He looks like a Best Buy employee,” Maddox said from the doorway. His expression was amused. I frowned. Maddox was standing there in his towel. “What do you think he should wear, a skull and crossbones? He’s six months old.” “That or maybe a puppy T-shirt or something. What you have on him now is what my grandfather wears to church.” Offended, I wanted to exit my bedroom, but he was blocking the door. “You have a lot of opinions for someone who isn’t a parent. I’m the fashion expert, remember? I can handle dressing a baby. My baby.” He held his hands up, nearly giving me a heart attack when his towel slipped. He grabbed it before it dropped to the floor. “Sorry. I was just teasing. I would never judge you on how you parent. I just thought since we’re friends, we can be cool with each other.” That flustered me. I had really thought this was going to be a lot easier. More comfortable. But Maddox was confusing me. “I guess that’s fair,” I said, because I didn’t know what else to say. “I did used to tease you a lot when you were a kid, like I said before.” He was leaning on the doorframe, showing no signs of moving or getting dressed or even putting the towel back in place. He was just holding it in front of his junk, but his hips were exposed. “No, you didn’t. Not really.” His voice was soft. “I took a lot of crap from other kids for being the poor kid with the hot, young mom, but you weren’t like that. You were nice to me, Savannah, and I appreciated it. More than you know.” My shoulders relaxed. I felt a warmth for him that was more familiar territory. Maddox had been a quiet kid, Steven his primary friend. I had felt sorry for him because he’d lived over a restaurant in downtown Stroudsburg while the rest of us in our school lived in suburban houses. His mother had been a waitress, very young, a MILF before the term had existed. Guys had always been catcalling her and flirting with her and she’d been sassy, flipping them off and hurtling wisecracks back. She’d called Maddox “Weirdo” all the time. It had seemed to be an affectionate nickname, but not one I would have enjoyed. “How is your mom?” I asked. “And your brother and sisters?” He finally wrapped the towel around himself fully, tucking the edge. “She’s good. She’s freaking out about turning thirty-nine, but otherwise she’s great.” Holy cow, his mother was only thirteen years older than me? That would have made her fifteen when he was born. Having been raising Sully on my own for six months at my age, I had a whole new respect for his mother. “The kids are all mostly normal, mostly not assholes.” There was warmth and pride in his voice. “Mike is great, too. I never thought I wanted a stepfather but he’s an alright guy. He’s the one who got me interested in ink. And motorcycles.” His stepfather owned an auto body shop back home and he’d seemed successful, moving Maddox and his mother into a colonial before they started producing children one after the other. They were a coolfamily, with artistic children, and yes, skull and crossbones on their clothes. In comparison, my family had been very traditional. My mother was a teacher, my father an accountant. There was a lot of khaki and beige in our house. I was comfortable with beige. I wanted a colonial in neutral paint colors someday. I glanced at Maddox’s chest. I couldn’t help it. It was right in front of me. “I’ll make some dinner while you get dressed and you can tell me all about your ink.” “Sounds like a plan. Here, give me the baby so you can do your thing in the kitchen.” He reached out for Sully. When he did, the knot on the towel gave way a second time and it pooled at his ankles. He didn’t react at all to being fully naked. He just took my son, saying, “I didn’t mean to mock your threads, little man. It’s not your fault your mom digs khakis.” He turned and walked down the hallway, ignoring the towel, and giving me a mouthwatering view of a very tight ass. Note to self: Maddox was comfortable being naked. I scooped up the abandoned towel and debated whether that was the world’s greatest news or the worst.

This was a really adorable and HOT romance between Savannah and Maddox. She is a new mom and a little bit older than our hero, Maddox but he is a very mature guy and has always had a thing for S. But she has always seen him as her younger brothers best friend. Now she has a new roommate who is staying with her while he films a reality show and he helps out with her new baby.
 
I have not read much by this author but I was missing out. This was a very hot and fun romance between two people who have known each other a long time but who have a slight difference in ages and at 16 that's a big deal but in your twenties so so much.
 
The five dates premise is that S friends find her a date and Maddox gets to pick her 5th date.

Real Liars by S.M. West





 
Blurb

It’s a simple business deal until things get personal.

I’m one of Toronto’s most eligible bachelors and CEO of Rothwell Enterprises. I wear success like a well-tailored suit, but that doesn’t mean I’m not at the mercy of others.

My heavily guarded trust fund is all I need to take my business to new heights. But to get my hands on that money, I have only two options: wait till I’m forty or get married.

With my fortieth birthday still years away, getting married is the best short-term option. And when a woman walks into my office with a problem of her own, I see a golden opportunity for both of us to get what we want.

She needs a lawyer and I need a wife. My proposition? She pretends to be my love interest and I’ll make her legal problem go away. It’s a simple win-win situation.

If we play this right, nothing can go wrong…

At least, that’s what I thought.

This is my first time reading this author and OMG I absolutely LOVED it so much. I was only sad when it ended. It stars Paige and Zach. Paige is in big trouble and her brother is owed a favor from Zach and asks him to help her.

She has the creepiest landlord ever and so she goes to Zach for help and to be able to break her lease. Zach meanwhile is very wealthy but he cannot touch his inheritance until his grandmother believes he is serious with a woman and so he asks Paige to pretend to date him while he helps her out.

With two very nasty exes, a very nasty landlord, and an adorable grandmother this story was so much fun. It is a standalone, and my first by this author but there are previous books about Paige's brother and bestie and also about her mother and step dad.

This was a wonderful story and I plan to read more from this author.
