RED HEART CARD by Annie Dyer (Jude and Neva)

 

ABOUT THE BOOK

 Neva has more to worry about than dealing with Jude. After a series of disastrous dates and time-wasting relationships, her hope of having a baby is fading. Neva's problem – no one has passed the audition phase or come close to being father material. Well, since Jude. 

 When a family seems to be out of reach for Neva, not only does Jude find out about her baby dream, but he also offers to help her out. Neva can’t think of a practical reason to say no, apart from the fact that their past should probably be left exactly there.

 Jude might be able to give her a baby, but just because he can, does it mean she should?

This is a stand-alone book, but I do suggest you read the previous books in the series as Jude and Neva's story begins in the earlier books. It is a second chance, reverse age gap, sports romance. 

I am usually not a fan of reverse age gap stories. I kind of think of them as cougar type of stories but I loved Jude so much that it was not stopping me from reading his story. 

Jude and Neva were a thing some three years before this book begins. They lasted 11 months before Neva ended things. Now two years later they seem to be thrown together a lot. They both are still attracted to the other but there is a ten-year age gap between them, and it was an issue for Neva before and why she broke things off. 

This is Jude and Neva's second chance. She wants a family, and a child and Jude just wants her. Can he make her see that in the years between their breakup that he is more mature and wants her no matter what?  Can Neva let her walls down and let Jude into her heart? 

This was a really wonderful book. I loved how we get to see what is in each other's heart as we get to know the characters. I also loved that the author told us when things happened from the past, and the present. I loved getting a view of what previously happened, rather than just told what happened.

I loved Jude and Neva's story, and they were just awesome together. I also loved getting a glimpse into their future.

Rock God - Rock Harder Series - by Kat Mizera (Kingston and Devyn)



Rock God by Kat Mizera is now live!

https://geni.us/RockGod

Available on All Platforms

ABOUT THE BOOK

They call me The Rock God. As lead singer of the multi-platinum selling rock band Onyx Knight, I have a life most people can’t even dream of… until it all becomes a nightmare.


Our bass player dies.

Now we’re tasked with the impossible job of replacing him or hanging it up for good.

On top of the world just shy of my thirtieth birthday, I can’t imagine walking away. Not now. Not from the money, the fame or the women. Half the music industry might be vying for the job, but no one feels right.

Until Devon Cates walks in and blows us away. Especially me.

We all have secrets, and Devon is no exception. I’m determined to find out what hers are, without getting too close. But I can’t seem to stay away.

When the truth comes out, it could be another death spiral for the band… one I’m not sure we can come back from.


*Title is a M/F Rock n’ Roll romance filled with steam, angst, and surprises that strike ALL the right chords!


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 book is about the Onyx Knight Band and Kingston Knight who is called a Rock God. In the book we meet Devyn, who is the new hire to replace Carter after he dies. 

This is a story about moving on after loss. The Onyx Knights have lost Carter who was their Bass player. But he wanted the band to move on and the band works hard to make that happen. But in the real world it's an easy thing to say but not so easy when you love and miss him and the whole world loved him as well, despite his issues. Carter is the one who found Devyn and he wanted the band to audition her to continue. That is how she enters Kingston and the bands life. 

Devyn has an ex who she was with in her band and let's say it was a nightmare relationship that did not end up well. So, she had to figure out how to move on as well. Now with her joining the band she will have to figure out how to keep on moving on and not letting the past affect her present. Even as her past tries to threaten her present. 

In this story we also meet Devyn's great grandmother, Greatty, who is a hoot and her best friend Jesse who ends up hooking up with another band member in the story. The third book in the series features them. 

I was in love with Kingston when this book started, and I just fell harder as I really got into his head and got to know him and watch him fall for Devyn. Devyn is a strong and complicated character but so perfect for King. I fell just as in love with her and her family and friends that we meet in this story. 

There is an aspect of forbidden in this story as Devyn states she doesn't want sex or a relationship with any of her bandmates. So, while her and Knight start having feelings, there is a forbidden nature to the relationship. 

It was an awesome story with many twists and turns as the media and the public and Onyx Knights learn who Devyn is. I could not put it down. I really loved this book so much. I also loved that the author brought Kristin Aiken in this story. She is currently 17 and I loved that I got to see what she is up to.

This is Georgina/Gio and Rick's story, and it easily stands alone. It also takes place in the mafia/billionaire world that the author has created in her previous series. It is a sports romance and takes place within the British sport of Hockey.

This is a fake relationship/engagement romance with close proximity/roommates trope and Rick is a total male alpha in the very best of ways. 

This is also a very HOT book so be warned it might burn your kindle. Rick is very HOT and he is deeply into Gio. But she is the one who is not quite ready for him, until he makes her burn for him that is.

I really loved this couple and their intensity and connection to each other. I also loved all the new players introduced in this book and I cannot wait for them to find their happily ever after. 

I felt this book was too long. It easily could have been two books. At times I felt it dragged in the middle as you have Rick lusting for Gio and she him, but he also helds himself away from her and we don't really find out why until later in the book. For me to get to that point, it took a really long time and a few times I almost quit. Once I got to the why and what the whole point of this story was, well I was all in. It gave the book a fun revengeful angle and it kept me turning the pages I wanted to see what happens next. But to get there I felt took way too long.

Something I loved about Gio was that when Rick hurts her, she is not an easy forgiver. She makes him work hard for it and that takes time and I really ended up respecting her because she did not accept his apology and move on. She made him suffer and I was totally cheering for her the whole time.




Something Like Hate - #1 CHICAGO GRIZZLIES Series - By Piper Rayne (Miles and Bryce)

 

ABOUT THE BOOK

Something like Hate by Piper Rayne is now live! 

I love him.

I loathe him.

 It’s like plucking daisy petals in my head, but he’ll never know.

When Miles Cavanaugh, the best safety in the league, was traded to the Chicago Grizzlies football team last year, I could finally breathe. Temptation was miles away.

How naïve to think it would end there because when the opportunity to write for a national magazine based in Chicago lands in my lap months later, I can’t turn it down. Sure, it’s a big city, but the sexual energy feels like a beacon between us the minute my plane lands. 

 To make matters worse, I end up having to take over the job of reporting exclusively on the Chicago Grizzlies. Which means traveling with the team, interviewing players, and pretty much having an all-access pass to their lives during the season. 

 Miles and I put up a great front, quickly hating on one another, but we both know it’s a lie. We also know the rules are simple. For me, don’t sleep with the subject of your articles. For him, don’t sleep with the journalist who can make or break your career.

I thought straight-laced Miles Cavanaugh followed all the rules… oh how wrong I was.

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

This is Miles and Bryce's story and I have been waiting to read this book for months. If you are a fan of the authors previous football series, San Franscisco Kingsman Football Series then you met Bryce and Miles there. 

In this book both are living in Chicago and they work in new jobs but as they both are involved in the world of sports, they just can't escape each other. They are both so snarky and irritating that you can feel the lust come through the pages. We get to learn about their history and why they love to hate each other. 

Miles is such an awesome character I really adored him. He is honest and true and very in touch with his feelings and how he feels for Bryce. She on the other hand feels way too much for him but also has a distrust of men and relationships, so she denies her feelings and runs away. But it's hard for her to escape Miles. I loved their snarky banter and how they cannot stay away from each other. 

This is a light and fun read, and we get to see the characters from the previous series as they pop in from time to time as both Miles and Bryce share friends in common. It also has a touch of forbidden as Bryce is told she cannot have a romantic relationship with Miles because she is a reporter and cannot be objective. 

If you love second chance romances, frenemies finding each other, sports romances and a forbidden relationship then you will absolutely adore this romance. It was so much fun. I loved both main characters so much.


Bad Business - #4 Bad Sibling Series/#17 Billionaire’s Club Series - by Elise Faber (Rome and Maddie)

 

                                                     



ABOUT THE BOOK

 He was a single dad.

He didn’t have time for love.
When Rome Hutchins found out he had a son, his life changed for the better.
His kid was great.
His heart, though, was not. It had been trampled, kicked around, and shredded just for good measure. Obviously, after all that, he wasn’t looking for love.
But then…came Maddie.
She was his brother’s assistant and an integral part of his brother’s company—it would be bad business to start something with her.
Only, she was smart and funny and capable and…his heart didn’t feel like it was in pieces when he was with her.
It felt whole.
It felt…like it had always been hers.

This book is the fourth book about the Hutching family.
 Cora Hutchins’ in Bad Best Friend with Rafe
Jeremy Hutchins’ story in Bad Rebound with Teresa
Ash Hutchins story is Bad Romance with Melody
Now this is Rome Hutchins story Bad Business with Maddie

I have read none of the previous books and I still understood the story and characters. I found this story can easily stand alone. It's a story about a dad falling in love with his son and a woman that feels she is unlovable. She is a runner, and he has a tough job of getting her to stay. 

Maddie is his brother's assistant (Ash and Mel from Bad Romance) and someone who helped him with custody of Jack after his mother died in Australia. 

When the book begins, they had never met before until she shows up at his home where his son Jack is not in the greatest mood. There is a bit of insta love and lust from both sides. But Rome has a hard job convincing Maddie to stay and not run from her feelings. 

This story has a lot of sex scenes so make sure you enjoy really hot scenes. It also has an adorable kid whose life has had many twists and turns, characters that have lost people they love and have to learn to embrace love and not run from it. I really loved this story and the characters.
