Steal My Heart - Rosewood River #1 - by Laura Pavlov (Henley and Easton)

 



Steal My Heart by Laura Pavlov is now live! 


A Small Town, Enemies to Lovers, Workplace, Standalone Romance from USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestselling Author, Laura Pavlov.


Henley Holloway is my boss’s daughter and I’ve been assigned to mentor her.

The problem is, I’m not looking to babysit anyone.

But I’m determined to make partner at the firm, and this is the final obstacle in my way.

So, I agree to take the little princess under my wing.

I’ll work her so hard, she’ll beg me to leave her alone.

But from the first day she walks into the office and spills scalding hot coffee on my chest—I’m intrigued.

She’s a Harvard grad.

Her work ethic rivals mine.

She’s witty and funny and beautiful all at the same time.

I don’t want to like her.

I have a hard and fast rule about relationships, and I will not break it with my boss’s daughter.

That’s a hard no.

But she’s everywhere I turn, and I can’t seem to get enough.

Weren’t rules meant to be broken anyway?

From the moment we cross the line—I’m done for.

Henley Holloway has seeped her way into my heart, one that I didn’t even know still worked.

But sometimes loving someone isn’t enough.

I’m living proof of that.

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This story features Easton Chadwick who we met a past series by the author. Easton is a hot lawyer who wants to make partner, and he works for Henley's dad. He gets her assigned as his new protegee when she is fresh out of law school.

Henley is the poor rich girl. She has money and a new career and works for her father, but he is a very distant father. She meets Easton and falls not just for him but his family too. For the reader this is a great introduction to the Chadwick family as this series seems to be geared to Easton's siblings. We also get to meet Lulu, who is Henley's bestie from her boarding school days. 

I am not sure this is a forbidden romance. It is definitely a work romance, a secret romance, and even a mentor/mentee romance. But Hen's father is not very fatherly shall we say, so I don't think he really cares if they date. Hen is the one who cares as she doesn't want a bad rep and that's why they keep it secret.

Easton is a broken man. To the outside he looks all together but he is terrified of love and loss and relationships. He has his family, so his fears are well hidden. But he is terrified. Henley threatens his safe world and that was what made this book so much fun. He has to decide if he can or wants to, let the past go. He has a bit of growing up and facing himself and his vulnerability. I really loved seeing him broken a bit and watching Henley put him back to together.

Mr. Broody By Piper Rayne (Jade and Henry)

 




Mr. Broody by Piper Rayne is now live! 


I’ve loved Henry Hensley since I was seven years old. We’ve gone from best friends to lovers to nothing.

To most people, he’s the Chicago Falcons starting right winger and hot single dad, but to me, he’s my first boyfriend, my first kiss, my first love.

Eight years ago, that all changed when our lives took us in two different directions. Our break-up almost broke me, so I kept my distance until our hometown called me back to where our story began.

I promised myself a quick visit to help my family out, and then I’d leave town before he even knew I was back, which should have been easy. He’s way too busy being a professional hockey player and raising his son to ever find out.

Of course, I’m only in town for a week before I run into him, and one thing is clear from our brief encounter—Henry wants to hash out our past, whereas I’d rather forget it.

But my plan really goes up in flames when I take a temporary substitute teaching job, and on day one, his son walks into my classroom. Boom.

This is book 2 in the series, but it easily stands alone. It stars singe dad, Henry who has adopted a 6-year-old named Bodhi. Things get complicated when his ex-moves back to town. Jade has not seen Henry in years and well lets say its complicated and their last interaction was not the greatest. Its a very complicated second chance with two people who have a lot of love but have pretty much always had very bad timing.

This story is about finding yourself and maturing and facing a future. Sometimes love is not enough but timing is also everything. 

It was fun reading some chapters from Bodhi's POV. I also really enjoyed getting to know Jade and find out more about Henry's friends. This is a very satisfying love story. I love that we get to see Jade and Henry fight for their love, even that meant they fought themselves, to get what they need.

This is a brother's best friend, forbidden romance. It stars Graham who is a 36-year-old hockey player. He also grew up with Savannahs brother but hasn't seen her in years. They end up meeting when he helps out at her job.

She is 10 years younger and is a school teacher. Her brother is very anti them getting together. But it's not a central point in this story. Its more about opposites finding each other with lots of hot and sexy time. 

It was a good story but there is not much drama. Its more about two people discovering each other. There are a lot of sex scenes. I love sex scenes in books but I thought there was bit too many. I wish they'd had more dates like a normal couple.  But aside from that I loved seeing this couple find love with each other.

UNTIL BAX by Aurora Rose Reynolds (Bax and Olivia)




 ABOUT THE BOOK


Bax Mayson thought he had escaped the family curse—until he saw Olivia Gannon again.

It’s been eight years since he last laid eyes on his best friend’s little sister, and now, fate has thrown her back into his life. As if their undeniable connection isn’t complicated enough, a mysterious threat looms, determined to tear Olivia away from him.

For Olivia, moving back home wasn’t supposed to change everything—until it did.
Running into Bax was the last thing she expected, but that one encounter sets off a whirlwind of events she couldn’t have imagined. Now, with family tensions rising, exes resurfacing, and a hidden enemy out for revenge, Olivia must figure out who—or what—they’re fighting. Because one thing is certain: she and Bax have something worth fighting for.

This is Bax and Olivia's road to romance. They meet when she comes back to town. Her brother is Bax's best friend, and also his employee. He falls pretty fast for her when they become neighbors. But her brother is a big issue, but she also has a stalker. 

The romance and attraction between Bax and Olivia are awesome. I love how hard he falls and watching him TRY and protect her from someone who is after her. The suspense is a big part of this story and as I read it, I had a few suspects.

I have waited a long time for this story, and it was worth the wait. I could not put the book down and I really loved Bax and Olivia's road to their HEA.

Body Shot - Lauderdale Knights #8 - by Kat Mizera (Anders and Claudia)



 Body Shot is available now!



Available on All Platforms

ABOUT THE BOOK
He’s not looking for love, and she isn’t looking for him… but when opposites attract, the rules of the game change.
Anders
As a pro hockey player for the Lauderdale Knights, my life is great—friends, hockey, and casual flings are all I need. Love isn’t even on my radar. But I’ll admit, dating my teammate’s hot sister sounds like a fun distraction.
Until I see her shy, nerdy friend sitting alone at the team party. Claudia’s nothing like the women I usually go for. She’s awkward, brilliant, and inexperienced, and I still find myself wanting more.
The problem? She’s headed back to Philadelphia, and I’m stuck here in Lauderdale.
Claudia
One bad experience left me done with men. I’ve got a great job, supportive family, and friends who mean the world to me. The last thing I need is a smooth-talking playboy hockey hunk trying to worm his way into my heart— and pants.
But then I meet Anders, my best friend’s brother’s teammate, the swoon-worthy Swedish player who’s breaking through my walls.
What started as one week together turns into something I never expected. But I can’t trap him like his ex did. I love him too much.
So I’ll let him go… even if it breaks my heart.

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...

This is Anders and Claudia's story. Both are fairly new characters to the series. He is a very sexy and hot Swedish hockey player, and she is a friend of the sister (Hana) of a hockey player, Johan, that we met in a previous book. In this story we get to know both women, because they are besties and are hanging out a lot. They share a friend group with Johan and Anders.  

This story is a bit of insta-lust love and a bit of a vacation fling and long distance type of relationship. It's also a bit slower than I like. Not in relation to sex but more in relation to the relationship forming as it's a vacation fling and Claudia is planning on living in a different city. 

I don't want to give away too much of the plot, but this is very much opposites attract and from fling to forever I guess you could say with a bit of a long-distance relationship.
