ABOUT THE BOOK

Asher Stevens is a legend when it comes to Wildcat football. If the gossip that swirls through campus is true, he’ll be one of this year’s top NFL draft picks. To say I can’t stand the guy is a major understatement. Other women might be taken in by his handsome face, chiseled body, and athletic prowess, but not me. I see him for what he is—a muscle bound, steroid-infused meathead who drinks like a fish, smokes weed, and screws like he’s been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of conjugal visits.

 So what if my pulse trips every time our gazes collide?

 Or my panties dampen when he lays hands on me?

 It means nothing.

 After three and a half years of steering clear, it seems like my luck has finally run out. Everywhere I go, there he is.

 Needling me at the restaurant where I work—check. 

Colliding on campus when I’m running late—double check.

 Showing up in a parking lot after an accident—triple check.

 No matter what I do, I can’t get away from the guy.

 To make matters worse, my life is on the verge of imploding and the one person I want to avoid like the plague is the very same one who comes to my rescue, making me an offer I can’t refuse. One that involves spending time alone with him when that’s the last thing I want to do.

 You know what scares me most?

 The fleeting glimpses I catch buried beneath all the hype. The ones that suggest he’s deeper and more intelligent than I suspected.

 Resisting the campus legend is easy.

 Resisting the man he’s slowly revealing himself to be isn’t.

This is the last book in the series and the author saved the best for last. If you are looking for a light read, then I would not suggest this book. It is a hot, fun read but it is not light reading.

If you want a complex story with characters, you will love and who are dealing with real issues, then this is an awesome romance. I really think it's the best one in the series and maybe even the best one the author has written. 

Honestly, I was not sure that I could ever see Asher with one girl no matter who she was. He is very into threesomes. But the author made me believe as he started to see how special and awesome Lola was. This was one of the best hates to friend to romance stories I have read in a while. 

Lola in this story is my favorite character. She works so hard, and life is not easy for her but she fights so hard to be a success at life. I was not sure Asher would ever be worth it, but the author made Asher grow up and become this awesome man and by the end of the story I loved him as much as I loved Lola.

Acceptable Limits - Everyday Famous #1 - by Olivia Sinclair (Lilah and Todd)




BLURB

NOW I find out he’s a gazillionaire rock star — after I told him I hate his music…

Lilah
I can’t even manage an apology without needing to be rescued from the storm. By Todd, naturally (cue eye roll). But it can’t work out between us, can it? It’s not just the age gap. Failing coffee shop owners do not hook up with the likes of world famous lead singers hiding out in a small town — not long term, at any rate. And he says forever is the only thing he wants from me. But he’s just indulging his hero complex, right? He can’t really mean it…

Todd
Lilah’s smile is pure sunshine. I don’t give a rat’s ass what she thinks of the band’s music. Calling me ancient isn’t exactly reassuring, but I’m really more concerned about her risking life and limb simply because she didn’t know I was famous. Pretty clear to me she can’t fall down if she’s in my arms (or preferably in my bed). So that’s where I’m planning to keep her — safe, and all mine. That way, I might be marginally less grumpy from worrying about her. Think she’ll let me get away with that?

No surprise the rest of the band thinks it’s hilarious watching me sweat while failing miserably at corralling my girl or getting her to spend some of my money. That is, until a shadow from our past shows up that puts everything at risk. I appreciate their help, but you can tell them from me they need to go find their own women. No falling in love with Lilah.

Acceptable Limits is a steamy, small town, grumpy billionaire rock-star romcom (with an age gap, an HEA, and at least two kitchen sinks). Think you might recognize Todd? (unlike some people…) He first appeared in Challenging Burke. Once he found Lilah though, he insisted on interrupting that series for his own story, right back on quirky Embrace Island!

AUTHOR BIO

I write lighthearted steamy romance featuring alphalicious heroes who know what they want and strong, smart heroines that can spot gold underneath a rough exterior.

My promise to you: no cheating, always an HEA, and more than a few silly bits!

I love my characters and I want them all to live happily ever after (along with fabulous careers, chubby babies, and/or adorable pets). Sometimes this requires letting go of how the real world works. I’m okay with that and I hope you are too!

I live and work in the wilds of the Pacific Northwest where I like to experiment with making wine and sourdough bread when I’m not writing or being lectured by my adorably entitled chickens.


AUTHOR LINKS





This is my first time reading this author and I really enjoyed this novella. It was a fast read, low on drama, and a bit of insta love lust, soulmates and an age gap.

Todd was an Alpha with a heart of gold that beat for Lilah. I loved that they were friends first and my heart hurt for Todd when Lilah inadvertently hurts his feelings and he ghosts her a bit. I loved that these two can't stay away from each other for long.

I enjoyed this story and I loved Todd so much, I just wish this story was longer. He is the older man but he only wants to make Lilah happy and have her love him back. He has some stumbling blocks like his age, famous rock reputation. I loved how close he and Lilah were, and that he befriends her and then wants more but he has a hard time expressing that to her.

Nothing Bundt Forever - Sweet Valley, Tennessee #2- by Samantha Lind (Lacey and Garrett)

ABOUT THE BOOK

Battered

Broken

Discarded

 

When the hard truths of my ex-husband were exposed, my world and that of our kids changed forever. We were tossed away like yesterday’s trash by the man that was supposed to protect and cherish us.

 

With my life in tatters, I had to stay strong. I had to be the support for my kids. I had to show them that we could rise above, so I did the one that brought me peace – I baked.

 

I never expected to trust a man again, but fate had other plans. The moment he walked into my bakery, everything changed. It wasn’t just my life but that of my kids as well. He lifted us from rock bottom and helped us heal.

 

Loved

Cherished

Appreciated

This is book 2 in the series of two baking cousins. The first book was wonderful so I couldn't wait to read this one. If you have not read it, this book also easily stands alone though we do get to see the previous couple many times in this story.

This story takes place in a small town and Lacey is a single mom with two adorable kids and a bakery she is running with her cousin. Garreth is an awesome guy who lives in a neighboring town and he comes to the bakery to install a new oven.

This book features some insta lust/love/connection from day one when Garrett sees Lacey and I loved how patient he was in dealing with Lacey and making her comfortable with dating him. 

This book was sweet, hot and awesome and I adored it so much. If you love small town romances, a single mom finding a good man and a story about finding your special someone then this is a wonderful, fun and light read with no drama.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Skyscraper cheekbones, lush lips, and magnetic topaz eyes.

I’m talking about Eric Hansen.

Rich prick.

Glorified hockey star.

Thinks he’s amazing.

The Golden Boy and I are well acquainted. In prep school he trampled on my heart then kept right on going.

Now, he’s living the high life with frat parties and puck bunnies at Hawthorne University. On the other hand, people barely notice me—unless I’m on stage taking my clothes off. I’m the nobody, surviving in the seedy part of town as I fight to keep my head above treacherous waters.

I’ve snubbed him for three years.

The avoidance game we’ve been playing was working—until he rescues me from a bad guy and claims he wants to help me more.

Hello. I don’t need a knight in shining armor. This girl saves herself.

Yet, I’m not sure how long I can ignore the undeniable spark between us. (It’s not even a spark; it’s a full-fledged, blazing fire.)

Can this hockey player prove he’s boyfriend material, or will our past get in the way?

This steamy romance is perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers or second-chances. Boyfriend Material is a new adult college romance.

EXCERPT

Eric’s large frame and rugged handsomeness takes the air from my lungs. His hair is pulled back in a man-bun, my fav look on him.
No. I do not have a favorite look for him, but it does show off his ridiculous cheekbones and aristocratic, slightly bent nose.
He’s wearing jeans, gold Converse, and a HU shirt. The lion on the front seems to glare at me—much like he is now.
I lean against the doorjamb. Be cool, be cool. “Howdy, partner.”
He doesn’t smile. “That guy at the laundromat is scary. Stay away from him. I mean it.”
I huff. The nerve of him to tell me what to do.
“That’s what I told you. I repeat, you could have been hurt. Let me handle Connor.”
His arms cross. “How did you get involved with him? Are you on drugs?”
I tuck my hands in my pockets and dip my head so he can’t see how much his words hurt. I know I strip, no one has to remind me, but in prep school, I was the goody-two shoes who never wavered. I had to keep my grades up to keep my scholarship—not that I was ever invited to parties. I wrote poetry. I drew. I daydreamed about him. “Do I look like an addict?”
His golden eyes roam over me. Assessing. “Maybe.”
My throat tingles with words I want to say but know I shouldn’t.
The less he knows, the better.
His nose flares. “I’m trying to help you and you’re giving me the cold shoulder. What’s wrong with you?”
I swallow thickly as I gaze at him. “Eric. Please. Being around me will only smear your good name—”
“Stop,” he calls out, then rubs his face, his anger seeming to deflate like a popped tire. “Don’t put yourself down like that. You’re a person, Julia. One that people care about.”
And I want to protect those people.
I chew on my bottom lip. “You shouldn’t have interfered.”
He lets out a long sigh, gives me a searching look, goes to leave, then stops. He reaches into his pocket and holds something up. “This is yours, I assume.”
I stare at the ring, my lips parting. “How did you . . .?”
But he’s already out the door.

Anton by Kat Mizera (Sasha and Anton)

Anton by Kat Mizera is available now!


Available On All Platforms

ABOUT THE BOOK

As the son of hockey royalty, Anton Petrov has both a reputation and a name to live up to. He’s always given everything to the sport, kept his head down—and focused on the game. Parties and women might come easily to him, but he’s not that interested. He’s never gotten over the one that got away—Sasha Kingsley.

When the FBI questions him about her disappearance, he begins to realize he can’t live without her.

Sasha grew up with the proverbial silver spoon. And that was before her mom married a legit European king. Now she’s a princess with expensive college degrees and absolutely no idea what comes next. Torn between passion and duty, she’s not sure how to survive her new status. When an unknown enemy sets their sight on Anton, she doesn’t know who to trust.

She broke Anton’s heart once to protect him—she’s not sure she’s strong enough to do it again.

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...

Connect with Kat:

This is Sasha and Anton's story and it was filled with romance, excitement and drama. In the story we meet Anton (Toli's son) when he is 23 and Sasha is the same age. They dated when they were 19-20 but broke up and haven't really connected since then. That is until the FBI goes knocking on Anton's door....

Sasha is Casey's adopted daughter and Eric's stepdaughter. They both play a huge part in this story though this book also easily stands alone. (I never read Casey and Eric's series.)

We also get to see the Sidewinder's and Lexi. Tessa and Toli also have big parts in this story. We also get to see a lot of the Royal Protectors as they help keep Sasha safe. 

This was a very suspenseful book and I adored Sasha so much. She is such a strong woman and I loved her for Anton as well. We also get quite a few scenes with Anton's grandfather, who is a Russian spy. 

If you are a fan of the authors romances, Sidewinders or any of her other series, don't miss this book. It was an awesome second chance at romance and I adored every minute of it.

Perfect Storm by Elise Faber (Kim and Caleb)

Perfect Storm by Elise Faber is now live!

Available On All Platforms

ABOUT THE BOOK

He left her.
Now she was back…with his son in tow.

Four years ago, he’d been a jerk with a wild side, a messed-up head, and a penchant for breaking hearts.
But he’d been a special brand of jerk to Kim.
Mostly because she was incredible. Smart, funny, beautiful. He’d seen a future with her, and that terrified him…
So he’d broken things off. Cut ties, lost her number, and moved on before she could move on from him.
But now she was back.
Now she was back, and she wasn’t alone.
His son was with her.

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 changes her hair color more often than some people change their socks, loves sparkly things, and is the mom to two exuberant boys.

She lives in Northern California. Connect with her in her Facebook group, the Fabinators or email her at elisefaberauthor@gmail.com.

This is a second chance romance for Caleb and Kim who were in a relationship four years before in a totally different city. They end up living in the same town and even sharing some friends and that's how they end up running into each other again.

Caleb didn't really have much in the way of excuses for why he ghosted Kim all those years before, but once he realized what he had given up, he tried to make up for his colossal mistake. I liked that he owned up to it and he really felt the pain of what he lost by not calling Kim back and ghosting her.

I liked that Kim is such a strong woman and that she really makes him work for his shot again with her and her son. Aside from Caleb's mistake I like that this story was low on drama and high on romance and winning Kim's heart. An awesome second chance with a hero that has a lot to atone for.

Never with Me by Kaylee Ryan (Ramsey and Deacon)






BLURB

Ramsey

I’m out of my depth participating in a blind-date photo shoot. Not only am I meant to act like I’m open for dating, but I’m meant to be sexy and get up close and personal with a complete stranger.

None of the above is me. But I’m a sucker, and my best friend can talk me into anything.

Deacon is the kind of guy my heart could be safe with. But I’ve been taking care of myself for a long time, and I’m not sure I’m ready to rely on anyone else. Not even the handsome, successful older brother of my best friend.


Deacon

I never saw her coming. One date with a beautiful stranger and I’m hooked.

Technically, Ramsey isn’t a stranger. She’s my little sister’s best friend, the same sister who volunteered me because she claims “I’m a workaholic in desperate need of love.”

All I know is I can’t stop thinking about Ramsey and the way her lips felt against mine. I have to see her again. Good thing I’m an attorney, because convincing her to take a chance on me is going to be the hardest case I’ve ever pleaded. She’s worried about the past repeating itself. What she’s yet to figure out is that her fear is unnecessary… never with me.

AUTHOR BIO


New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan has been crowned the Queen of Swoon by her readers. With nearly fifty romance books under her belt, she’s known for penning happily ever afters with heart. When she's not writing, you can find her with a book in her hand or hanging out with her family where she resides in her home state of Ohio.


AUTHOR LINKS




This was an absolutely awesome story and I adored it so much. Ramsey was such a wonderful heroine and I love how strong she is and how she was so alone and made the choice to change her life. I love how she found her place in the world and made it work for her and how nothing deters her from the path she is on. 

Deacon I adored as well. He is much older than Ramsey )10-year age gap) But the truth is she is not your average 22-year-old. She was the perfect match for him, and I loved the way they met and how intense their connection was. 

His sister and her best friend brought them together and she was my favorite character in this story. I loved how supportive she was of her older brother and her best friend. 

This is a prequel to a new series by the author and I am totally hooked. Ramsey has some awesome male cousins, and I cannot wait to see who the author pairs them off with. 

It did have a bit of insta love/connection, but it really worked and made this story very romantic. It also takes place in a small town with lots of quirky characters and lots of characters that I hope find their partner in future stories.
