ABOUT THE BOOK

Never fall in love with a client.

Just one of the many guidelines you must follow when you represent the best athletes in the game.  

The rule never bothered me.  

A pretty smile from a cocky player couldn’t do it for me anyway. 

As a no-nonsense sports agent, I've seen it all in this cutthroat world of athletic negotiations and powerplays, and say what you will about me, I know how to handle business. 

The only person who pretends I’m not a freaking badass is Trent Nichols, the infuriating, albeit sexy-as-all-hell, Boston Guardians general manager. 

With his dark eyes and even darker soul, Trent doesn’t bend to my will like the rest of them, which is a problem. 

Especially since one of my hockey players is under threat of suspension. 

That can’t happen. Not on my watch. 

If Trent wants to play hardball, I’m more than happy to give him a run for his money. 

I’ll show him what a real rival looks like. 

And who knows? Maybe I’ll have a little bit of fun too. 

While the first law of being a good agent is to never fall for a client, there’s no written rule that says I can’t mess around with their boss behind closed doors. 

This is the second standalone novel in the interconnected Puckered Hearts series.

This is Trent and Piper's story. It's the second book in the series but it also easily stands alone. If you read the first book, it runs concurrently with this book but also extends past it so you also see what happens with the first couple, Nate and Lottie. 

In the first book, Perfect Pucking Match, we met Nate and he is a hockey player on General Manager (GM) Trent's team. Nate's agent is Piper and Lottie is Piper's best friend and also a matchmaker. Lottie tried to find a bride for Nathan to help rehab his bad media reputation but instead they fell for each other. In that book we see that Trent and Piper have a very interesting relationship and in this book we get the real story behind their relationship. 

To say it is complicated is an understatement. Piper does one night stands and well Trent is an enigma to her. They start out as a fling and when Trent wants more, Piper does not and this is his story primarily.

He has a long road ahead to convince Piper that they are meant for more. Piper is desperately afraid of love and the risk to her heart and Trent wants her like no one else. Can he convince her? Will she give him a shot? Well, this story answers all those questions and more. 

This is not a light read. It has some really hot scenes and is a lot of fun as we watch Trent run after Piper. But some serious things happen in this book that made me shed a tear or two. It is wonderfully written and I really adored Trent and Piper. 

Easier Said Than Done - Lindell Series #2 - by Marie James (Cash and Adalynn)

BLURB

If you can’t ask your best friend to get you pregnant then who can you ask?

Adalynn Tate made a promise to her childhood friend.

They vowed that they’d do everything together, including marrying their junior high crush and having all their babies at the same time.

Her friend has succeeded. She got the guy, and the first bun is in the oven.

Now it’s Adalynn’s turn to make her own dreams a reality.

When Adalynn’s best guy friend comes over, he sees the pamphlets for her to have a baby on her own.

Cash does what any best friend would do – offers his free, platonic services instead of extra medical bills.

He doesn’t know Adalynn has had a crush on him since junior high, something she’s done her best to lock down deep as not to threaten their friendship.

Adalynn knows in this world you don’t get to have it all: the baby, the man, the fairytale.

But Cash has other plans for her.

This is Adalynn and Cash's story and its a story about two besties who are in love with each other but have no clue about each other's feelings, figuring out that they belong together. Its a very slow burn and a very twisted road they go on. They have to figure out how to be vulnerable with each other and at times I was very frustrated with them because everyone knew how they felt, well except each other.

In the middle of it, Adalynn decides she wants to get pregnant, and she feels Cash is hopeless and he will never see her as anything other than a friend. Meanwhile Cash has a lot of excuses about Adalynn and why they can't be together. On one hand he thinks she is all vanilla sex, and he wants it not vanilla. Then he feels unworthy of her because he is a foster kid with no family. He kind of drove me as crazy as he drives Adalynn and I really felt for her. She loves this really complicated guy who is so confusing. Honestly the decisions she makes, I would have done too. But I am not telling you what that was. 

This book when it finally gets going is HOT. So, if you like a hot sexy guy then Cash is definitely that. And while he has all these excuses, his heart is Adalynn's and has been for years. He definitely had some very swoony moments for me. 

There are some shenanigans in this book related to Adalynn's brothers and at times I am not sure I loved that. They like sharing girlfriends and well that's a bit too much for me. Then the author introduces this guy Carter and I have no idea what's going on there. 

I enjoyed reading this story but at times I just wanted for these two to communicate. I really wish I got more scenes with Cash and Adalynn after they confessed their feelings and less of a rollercoaster of their finding their way. But aside from that I enjoyed the book. 

Wild River - Magnolia Falls #2 - by Laura Pavlov (Ruby and River)

 ABOUT THE BOOK

Wild River by Laura Pavlov is now live! 

ABOUT THE BOOK

A Small Town, Enemies to Lovers, Boy Obsessed, Found Family, Standalone Romance from USA Today and Amazon Bestselling Author, Laura Pavlov.

 

Ruby Rose declared me the enemy before I had a chance to defend myself.

I may be an attorney, but this girl had appointed herself judge and jury.   

And I’d never minded a good verbal sparring.

There was a comfort in going to battle against the evil queen.

Maybe it was just the recognition of one damaged soul to another.

But the more we fought—the more I craved her.

Until our arguing turned into a bit of a wager.

One I was determined to win.

One time. Sixty seconds. A secret only we would share.

I’d work my magic and she’d declare me the winner.

I’d gloat, she’d sulk—that was my plan.

She was determined to prove me wrong.

But from the minute we crossed the line, there was no turning back.

She was so far under my skin I couldn’t think straight.

Feeling things that I’d never felt before was one thing.

But knowing the clock was ticking was another.

Ruby Rose may have given me more than sixty seconds, but she wasn’t offering forever.

And now my world doesn’t work without her in it.

But how do I convince her to stay, when she already has one foot out the door?

 This book is #2 in the book series but also easily stands alone. It introduces a new character to Magnolia Falls, Ruby, who is the daughter of the towns local bar owner. She is in town to help her father run his bar while he recovers from a heart attack. River is a lawyer and also is very close with her father. He wants to help her with running the bar and visits with her father a lot. Thats how these two end up running into each other throughout the book.

River has a younger brother, Kingston and he is a big part of River's story. He was so cute and friendly and a real sweetheart. River is pretty awesome too but in a very grumpy way. He has a huge heart but he is not super trusting and so it takes a lot for him to show his heart and softness. 

In Ruby River finds a matching spirit. Ruby is one tough cookie. She had to be. She has two younger brothers, a mom who complains, never has enough money and is pretty useless as a parent. Luckily for Ruby she always had her dad in her corner. So, she comes back to town with a graduate degree and wanting to help out her dad. 

The couple from the first book is also featured in this book and if you read the first book you get to continue and see their very happy ending. The stars of the book are Romeo and Demi. Romeo is also connected the authors previous series about Cottonwood, and we get to visit with those characters too in this book. Demi is also a big part of this book as she and her friends welcome Ruby to town and befriend her. 

I really loved this book. It was a lot of fun. Ruby is pretty much at a crossroads and finds a soulmate in River. But being with him means she has to stick around in the town and its not something she ever saw herself doing. I adored how tough she was but also how vulnerable she was at times. I also loved River, he was so cutely grumpy. I loved his relationship with his new secretary and how easy it was to drive him a bit crazy. His grandmother was a hoot and I hope we see more of her in future books.
