ABOUT THE BOOK

Bad boy quarterback Tyler Harris plays ball for a living and breaks hearts for a hobby. With two championships in as many years, Tyler is the best quarterback in the league. Gorgeous and rich, he's at the top of his game.

Women love him. Men want to be him. Only Tyler's not feeling the love. In fact, he's not feeling anything at all. Licking his wounds after a scandal and a breakup with his long-time girlfriend, he retreats to a run-down mansion on a remote island in the Pacific Northwest. Once there, Tyler is blindsided by the sassy redhead next door.

He knows that he's met his match and possibly his soulmate. There's one problem. She despises him. Lavender Mead has a good reason to dislike jocks, namely an absentee father who deserted the family to coach college football.

Maybe that explains her penchant for bad boys -- especially those who play ball. Her new neighbor seems just that type. Yet Tyler's not the shallow superstar she expected, and she's inexplicably drawn to football's bad boy. The two are so hot together, they're combustible.

As the clock ticks down, can they commit to each other forever? Or will they both fall short of the goal at the last minute?

  I am a fan of this authors work though I like her older stories, I have never read this series before and this is actually a previously published story she re-did. So for me Tyler is a brand new character. He is a star football player who is hiding from a scandal and a broken heart, he has been engaged and is broken up just barely with his fiancรฉe. They were never in love but she was his on and off girlfriend from college.

At times I did not like Tyler. He said things that made him manwhorish yet he was engaged and with his ex essentially for years. It made him not look that terrific as a leading man for Lavender. Lavender has a dad who abandoned her and her mom is very controlling. Her dad left his family for football and groupies and so that is why she tries to resist Tyler romantically.

One of the biggest obstacles is Lavendar's dad, she think he is a real jerk and well Tyler has a very different opinion. I am not spoiling anymore than that but that  is a huge deal in this story. This is not just a romance it really shows how broken homes can really harm the child and how things might not be as they are.

It is a well written story and I liked the depth of the storyline. My only real issue with it was at times Tyler came off as a jerk,

Until Cobi - Until Him #3 - by Aurora Rose Reynolds








ABOUT THE BOOK

Cobi Mayson knows exactly who Hadley is to him the moment he sees her for the very first time. That doesn’t mean it will be easy for him to convince her to take a chance on him.

Hadley Emerson knows she could fall hard and fast for a guy like Cobi. A man who seems to show up every time she needs him, but she knows better than to just hand over her heart.

Knowing his future with Hadley is on the line, Cobi begins to tie their lives together. As the invisible rope that connects them tightens and things between them heat up, an unknown threat emerges threatening to take away their happily ever after and send them both into darkness.

I absolutely loved this story, though does not stand alone. You should definitely read the previous book in the series, Until Harmony. This story picks up right after and we meet Hadley, who just saved Harmony's life. She is in the hospital and that's where she meets Cobi.

Cobi is Harmony's cousin and is also a cop. He finds Harmony and Hadley and falls into instant BOOM. He has to convince Hadley to let him in and trust him and that is what this book is about. It is pure fun and I absolutely loved every second of it. I only hated that it ended.

Insistent - Soul Serenade #4 - by Kaylee Ryan








ABOUT THE BOOK

She came into my life without warning. It wasn’t love at first sight, but the more time I spent with her, I knew she was the one. Our relationship was complicated, and I knew I had my work cut out for me. I have to prove to her that she’s all I see. That no matter how the past reads, we can re-write the future.

He’s the sexiest one of the group, in my personal opinion. We’re friends, and colleagues, well technically he’s my boss. He’s also the man that consumes my thoughts, and my desires. I have too much at stake to allow myself to jump into bed with him, but I really really want to.

One taste and I know I’ll never be the same. Cassidy can prolong this all she wants, but I know how it ends. When she’s mine.

He’s relentless, and I let him drag me under his spell. It can’t happen again, but Gavin, he’s Insistent that this is just the beginning.

This is the last book in this series and I am soooooooo sad it is ending. It stars Gavin, the last single rocker and the bands manager, Cassidy. The two are sent on a roadtrip together to sign up and check out a new band for the new label Soul Serenade is now running.

Gavin has the hots for Cass, Cass has the hots for Gavin but she fights it hard because they work together and she really needs her job. Gavin seduces her on the trip and then figures out he loves her and he has to fight for her heart.

This story was wonderful. It features the entire band and their families which I loved. It can stand alone but truly you should read the whole series so you get to know the characters and their stories. I cannot wait to see what is next from this author.

Tainted: Lance & Mary - The Cliffside Bay Series #5 - by Tess Thompson

IT'S TIME TO GET TAINTED! Tainted: Lance & Mary by Tess Thompson is LIVE.
 

PICK IT UP AT YOUR FAVORITE RETAILER: 


ABOUT THE BOOK 

One career-ending mistake sends Lance Mullen home to Cliffside Bay in search of a fresh start. And in no time at all, home begins to feel like the place he was always meant to be. With his beautiful new beach house, his friends and family close by, and a profitable business to grow, life really is good. That is until his heart tries to wreck everything... again. After losing her mother, child and marriage, Mary Hansen has built a nearly impenetrable wall around her heart. 

She's convinced her dream job, a few growing friendships, and a never-ending stream of books to fill her evenings are enough for a contented if not all together joyous life. Though she's on guard not to get too close to anyone, one careless moment with Lance will shatter her prospects for an uncomplicated future.

The fifth installment of The Cliffside Bay Series by bestselling author Tess Thompson follows the interwoven stories of five best friends, the beach community they love, and the women who captivate them. Prepare to get lost in a wave of small town charm, men you would love to take home to your mother, and smart, resilient heroines you wished lived next door.  

ABOUT THE AUTHOR


Like most of her characters, Tess Thompson hails from a small town and will always feel like a small town girl, despite the fact she’s lived in Seattle for over twenty-five years. She loves music and dancing, books and bubble baths, cooking and wine, movies and snuggling. She cries at sappy commercials and thinks kissing in the rain should be done whenever possible. Although she tries to act like a lady, there may or may not have been a few times in the last several years when she’s gotten slightly carried away watching the Seattle Seahawks play, but that could also just be a nasty rumor.

She currently lives in a suburb of Seattle, Washington with her brand new husband, the hero of her own love story, and their Brady Bunch clan of two sons, two daughters and five cats, all of whom keep her too busy, often confused, but always amazed. Yes, that’s four kids and five cats. Pray for her.

Goodreads: http://bit.ly/2vClTfX 


This is part of a series, Book 5 I believe and its more like each book is an episode featuring a new couple but each book  features all the couples with their trials and successes and so they don't really stand alone. This book stars Mary, she is the daughter of the man who ends up marrying Flo, Flo who helped raise Lance and Brody, and Lance is in business with Mary and is also in love with her.

Mary was cheated on by her husband while she was pregnant, then her mother and baby died and then Flo found her dad and so just about everyone has left her. She is one hot mess and she knows it. She also has feelings for Lance but she doesn't trust him as he had an affair with a married woman as well.

On New Years eve she makes some really bad decisions and they make her feel very tainted. Lance is  there for her but she doesn't feel worthy of this great guy. This story is about her coming to love herself and letting other people love her.

At times I did not love Mary, I absolutely loved Lance but I loved watching her change and grow and let people in. In this book we also see Mel again and see what she has planned for Kyle and Violet and I loved how Mary is the person who sees Mel for the crazy she is.

Mercy by Julianna Marley

 

Mercy by Julianna Marley is NOW AVAILABLE! 
 FREE with #KindleUnlimited

 


ABOUT THE BOOK

Football. That’s all Liam Walsh knows how to do and if he were being honest, all he was ever really good at. Dedicating his entire life to the game has taken him to some pretty remarkable places and in less than twelve seconds it had also brought him within inches of his life. Taking a careless approach to his recovery hasn’t exactly been the best game plan he’d ever conjured up, but that didn’t mean management had to send an overbearing, spitfire assistant to get him back on the field. Certainly not one who favored stilettos and fine lingerie.

Emme McGovern believes in two things: Jesus and really good football. An assistant on a national football team, she is constantly surrounded by men who think they can do her job better. Which is why she isn’t in the least bit surprised that the fate of her future now rests in the hands of a cranky, stubborn, arrogant football player on injured reserve. When Emme is offered an opportunity to make history, landing her and her Louboutin’s on Liam’s door step, what she finds isn’t just some football player. She doesn’t find a warm reception, either. With the clock winding down, Emme is determined to piece Liam back together, but as their long days turn into even longer nights, the game no longer becomes about promotions or a comeback story, but a matter of life or death. Will their time together have them laying it all on the field for their future? Or will it send them both running and begging for mercy?

This book was very different than any other book about an NFL player I have read before. It really takes on the nastier side of the sport.

Emme is a woman with power for The Maverick's football team. She is an assistant to the manager and he is retiring soon.Liam was their star quarterback until a spinal injury. He is not doing great at all and Emme's boss asks her to whip him into shape. And she does. It is stubborn meets stubborn and the two form a friendship and partnership.

But if Emme is made manager and Liam is a quarterback, they cannot be together.This is primarily Liam's story. He is in a very bad place after his injury and is having a big pity party.

He really grows in this story and I could not stop reading as he has some huge decisions before him. These two were great friends while Emme really helps him change for the better.

Cocksure by Shiloh Walker








About the Book

Sabrina
He’s the cockiest bastard I’ve ever met and I mean that with all the affection and adoration in the world.  I’ve been in love with him for years, and not just because of those intense blue eyes or that slow smug smile that promises to make all your dreams come true. I’ve seen what lies under that smile and his cocksure attitude. It’s enough to make me melt.

Not that I’d ever let him know.  Not only is Luke Cochran one of Hollywood’s up-and-coming movie stars…he’s also my boss.  I’m his personal assistant and have seen all the women who come and go in his life.

I don’t even hold a candle.  But a girl can dream…right?

Luke
Sabrina is one of the sharpest, funniest, kindest people I’ve ever met. Sometimes, I think I’m taking advantage of her, but I seriously cannot cope with my hectic lifestyle without her to keep me on track.

Of course, my life just got totally knocked off track.  One of my sisters called.

They need me back home. My mother is sick and the last thing I can think about is the promotional tour I’ve got coming up.

Sabrina’s coming with me.  She’s the only person who can keep me focused and centered in a time like this. Besides, my family adores her. And it’s just a quick visit. My mother is tough.  She’ll be alright.

But then something happens that knocks me for a loop and when my mother tells me that all she really wants in life is to see her kids happy and settled down, I do the stupidest damn thing ever and announce that Sabrina and I are in love.

Now I’ve just got to convince my best friend to play along with me and act like she’s my fiancรฉe and we’re stupid in love.

No big deal…right?

WRONG.

Excerpt

My mouth had a mind of its own and before I even realized what I planned to say, the words were already out there. “I’m wondering if you’ll taste as good as you feel, Sabrina. As good as you smell.”
She swung a wide, shocked gaze my way.
She was still gaping at me when the doors opened—a soft, bell-like tone announcing our arrival—to an elegantly discreet entryway. Across the hall there was a double set of mahogany doors, flanked on either side by fresh vases of flowers that probably stood close to five feet from their bases to the very tips of the tallest blooms.
Nudging Sabrina’s shoulder, I said, “The doors are open.”
She snapped her jaw shut and turned stiffly. She exited the elevator just before the doors would have glided shut. I followed her, blowing out a slow, deep breath.
She unlocked the doors and pushed them open, standing aside for me.
I gave her a hard look. “After you.”
Sabrina cocked a perfectly shaped brow at me.
We’d had this argument a hundred times, probably more.
“My mom would kick my ass if she knew I was letting a lady open doors for me,” I told her.
“Equal rights.” Sabrina gave me a toothy smile. Then she jingled the key in my face. “And I already opened the door.”
She had a point. Grumbling under my breath, I moved into the sprawling apartment and put the two suitcases down. Neither of them were heavy. Both of us knew how to pack light and over the past few years, Sabrina had worked on training me to be as efficient as her.
I wasn’t even close.
But she had tried.
She came in right after me, closing and locking the doors, then catching her carry-on and sailing past me.
I let her, sauntering after her.
She took the bedroom I’d known she’d take—the closest one—smaller, with a western-facing view that offered a look at downtown and the Ohio River as it rolled off toward New Albany and beyond. As she put her luggage on the bed, I leaned a shoulder against the doorframe and studied her.
The poppy-red dress she wore framed her upper body like a dream, cupping her breasts and offering them up in a fashion I couldn’t help but appreciate. The bodice ran close along her torso before flaring out at her hips. I wanted to ease her onto the bed and push that skirt up, up, up, baring her so I could see the flesh I’d only felt, so I could taste her, then watch as I filled her.
Her cheeks were flushed.
She fumbled with her business bag.
She knew I was watching her.
I waited to see what she’d do.
Finally, she stopped pretending she didn’t know I was there and turned to face me, hands clenched into fists at her sides.
“Do you need something, Luke?” she asked, her voice businesslike and brisk.
“That’s a loaded question, Ina,” I said, taking a step into her room. “You sure you want me to answer it?”
Her mouth parted and she licked her lips. I don’t think she even realized she’d done it.
I decided I was right a split second later when she clenched her jaw and fixed her mouth back in that polite, businesslike smile. “I’ve already got quite a bit to get done tonight, so unless this is important…”
I closed the distance between us, sliding an arm around her waist.
She sucked in her breath, going silent.
“I do want something,” I said, pressing my mouth to her ear. “I want you naked. I want you under me. Over me. In front of me. On top of me. I want you kneeling on my face so I can eat your pussy or bending over in front of me so I can fuck you. Any way you want to give yourself to me, that’s what I want.”
She was shaking now.
I caught the lobe of her earlobe between my teeth and bit down gently.
“But the final decision is up to you. I’m going to my room. You come find me if you want me.”
Walking out of that room was the hardest damn thing I’d ever done.

Giveaway

This is a new series by the author and I really liked it a lot. It stars Luke a very sexy and hot actor and Sabrina or Brina as Luke calls her, his assistant and bestie. Luke is a very broken man. Something happened to him growing up that changed his life and he has been running from it his whole life.

Sabrina has been in love with Luke for years and they are very close but he has no clue. So she silently supports him. Then one day he gets a call that his mother is sick and he has to go home and face his past. He takes Sabrina along for the ride. But when his mom worries about him romantically, he tells her that he and Brina are engaged and that's when the fun starts.

This was a sweet and sexy romance but it is not all fun and games. Some serious things happened to Luke and it changed his life. More than what happened Luke has only run away he has not confronted it and this is his story how he comes out the other side and allows himself to love Sabrina.

Very well written and I really enjoyed the story a lot.

Once Upon a Cowboy (Copper Creek #2) by Stina Lindenblatt

ABOUT THE BOOK


Cinderella's fairy godmother just turned hot. And male. Very, very male.

Sexy cowboy Jake Daniels has three priorities in his life: his horse ranch that he manages with his brother, his family, and Sophie West. Sophie is the ranch’s horse trainer and his close friend. The one thing he doesn’t have time for is a girlfriend. And he especially doesn’t have time for a relationship with an employee. Mixing business with pleasure never ends well. Been there. Done that. Had it branded on his ass.

Not a problem—until Sophie asks for his help. She’s tired of being single. She’s ready to find her soul mate—or at least a nice man. The issue? She’s socially awkward around guys she’s interested in. The solution? Recruit Jake to be her “fairy godfather” and help her be more confident, especially around the new veterinarian who just moved into town.

Great plan, except Sophie's no naive Cinderella and Jake realizes if anyone's going to be her Prince Charming, he wants it to be him. If only he didn't have to put his heart on the line to win hers.






I received a review copy of the book before release for an honest review.

This is a 2nd book in the series and I never read the 1st one so it can easily stand alone. I know the author from other stories and have loved her writing so I was excited to read this advanced copy of the story.

It stars Jake and it is 100% his view point we never hear from Sophie and I really missed that. Jake can carry the story and he is hot and sexy and I loved hearing him talk but I also wanted to hear Sophie’s side and so that's the only thing I did not love.

Sophie is Jake’s employee and they have a clause saying no romance on their ranch. So instead they are best friends even though Jake is in lust with Sophie. Meanwhile Sophie is very weird with guys she likes.

The only guy she doesn't get shy with is Jake so when a new guy hits town she decides Jake is the perfect tutor to help her get to know the new guy.

Think Pygmalion with a side of Cinderella and Jake becomes Sophie’s fairy godmother. Haha!! It was a fun story and all the characters were really wonderful.

Bulldozer by P. Dangelico

Bulldozer_Ebook.v2_AmazonFinal Nina.jpeg

ABOUT THE BOOK


Bulldozer, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by P. Dangelico.

Amanda Shaw has pulled it together. It’s taken a couple of years, a boatload of hard work, and a ton of self-discipline, but she finally has her problems in a headlock. Her yoga studio in the city has become so successful she’s opening one near the beach, and her relationship with her ten-year-old son is improving every day. The last thing she needs is a monkey wrench thrown into her smoothly running life.

Grant Hendricks is one big monkey wrench. The four time Defensive Player of the Year, three time NFL sack leader, and all-around football god has officially hit rock bottom. A devastating back injury means he may have to retire and that scares him more than doctors telling him that the next hit could leave him paralyzed. All he needs is a quiet place to think and his teammate’s beach house sounds like just the place. Problem is, the woman already living there.

Excerpt:

For a beat we stare at each other, neither of us voicing the undeniable truth that
something is happening between us. Something deep and real and scary.
He pins me to the side of the pool, his arms framing mine, and leans closer. I can’t
pry my eyes away from his lips, full and slick with water.
“You make me want to try,” he quietly confesses.
I’ve told myself a thousand times to stop thinking about the way he looks at me. Or
that he’s so sweet with Sam it brings tears to my eyes every time I watch those two
interact. Or that Roxy fell hard and fast in love with him from the outset and everyone
knows dogs are the best judges of character.
I’ve told myself to stop staying awake at night wanting him but he makes it nearly
impossible. His eyes fall to my lips and I swallow, goose bumps breaking out from my
hairline to my toes.
“Try what?” I ask in an equally quiet voice. Reaching out, I dare to run my
fingertips over the short beard from the side of his face to his chin. His thick lashes
beaded with water flutter shut.
“Be a better man for you.”
“You’re the best man I know already…nothing to try for.”
“You keep at it like that and I’m going to kiss you,” those perfectly shaped lips
murmur. It sounds like a threat and a promise and part of me hopes it’s both.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR


Dangelico loves romance in all forms, cuddly creatures (four legged and two), really bloody sexy pulp, the NY Jets (although she’s reconsidering after this season), and to while away the day at the barn (apparently she does her best thinking shoveling horse crap). What she’s not enamored with is referring to herself in the third person and social media so don’t expect her to get on Twitter anytime soon. Oh, and although she was born in Italy, she’s been Jersey Strong since she turned six.

This is book 3 in the series and I really enjoyed it. That said we only hear one side of this story. It is 100% only Amanda's side, we never hear from Grant and well there were times I wanted to know what he was thinking.

Amanda is in the Hamptons for the summer with her son and staying in her brothers mansion. She arrives to find that Grant, a football teammate of her brothers is staying as well while he recovers from a spine injury.

At first it is hate as Grant tries to make her leave but eventually the frost between the two melts and they form a friendship and then romance. The big issue in this story is that Grant loves football soooooooo much even if it means it is dangerous and Amanda cares so much that she wants to fight for Grant and a life together.

This was an enjoyable story and it is well written. The characters had depth and I really enjoyed watching them fall in love and work things out.
