ABOUT THE BOOK

JAKOB:
I'm a professional hockey player and a single dad with two rambunctious five-year-olds. My boys have driven away every nanny that's stepped foot in our house--except one--the one I don't want to keep, but they do. Tatted and pierced Gardenia Bliss is everything I dislike in a nanny and woman. She's a mouthy whirlwind, an obsessive recycler, a buyer of organic only food, and a lover of loud music. She's disrupted my household and destroyed my comfortable routine with her spontaneity. I want her gone, but I also want her naked, which is all kinds of messed up.

My plans to send her packing are thwarted by a road trip and no other options available. By the time I return, she's completely entrenched herself in my house, my life, and my dirty thoughts. She has to go, but I haven't found a way to extract the boys from her clutches. They adore her.

Then my meddling, matchmaking mom shows up for the holidays and enlists Gardenia to help her find the perfect woman for me. The two of them are forces of nature I'm powerless to combat. They'll never know the truth--I don't want those other women. I want Gardenia, but I can't have her. She's all wrong for my boys and me, but tell that to my stupid heart.

Tell Me How You Hate Me By Cali Melle (Leo and Aria)

 

ABOUT THE BOOK

Tell Me How You Hate Me by Cali Melle is now live! 


When life gives you your enemy, you make a deal with him…


Leo Wells is the last person I want to be skating with.

He’s aloof, abrasive… and stupidly attractive. Nevermind the fact that I had a lapse in judgment one night with him in the past.

We may not like each other, but I like winning more and if I want to do that, I need him.

We need each other.


Leo doesn’t like the idea anymore than I do, but we make a deal. We can put our differences aside and forget about our history so we can compete together.

It should be easy enough–after all, neither of us like the other.

But there’s a spark between us, one that reignites a burning fire we lit a long time ago.


The lines are blurring and melting like the ice around my heart.

Leo Wells is breaking through my walls, tearing them down one layer at a time.


And all I can do is tell him how I hate him…

Because I’m afraid I don’t hate him at all.

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

This is an ice-skating romance and the characters are about 26. So, their life is ice skating, and it has been for their entire time growing up. They also have known each other their entire lives and competed against each other. In addition, Leo is best friends with Aria's brother, Austin.

Aria and Leo are NOT friends, they share the same profession and live in the same town and they both love Austin, who is Aria's brother. But they do NOT get along. They are very attracted to each other, but they also irritate each other until they say mean things to each other. They love to hate each other. 

The story begins when Leo loses his ice-skating partner and Aria does too. Its either don't compete or do but as partners. It really changes everything when they no longer are competitors and become partners instead. It means lots of time together but also working together and supporting each other which totally changes their dynamic.

If you love ice skating stories, then you will love this story. I really enjoyed this lighthearted story. There is no extra drama. It's really about two people letting down their walls and its not easy. It's extremely hard for both of them.

NOW ON SALE! Ice and Love and Other Penalties by Claudia Burgoa (Indie and Ty)

She’s the team owner's little sister, my new nanny, and so completely out of my league.

Ice, Love, & Other Penalties, an all-new enthralling single dad, hockey romance from USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa is now available!

ABOUT THE BOOK

They say never mix business with pleasure.

As a single father, and the captain of the Seattle Sasquatches, I’m adamant to keep every corner of my life separate and running perfectly. 

That is, until Indie Decker walked into my life. 

She’s the team owner's little sister, my new nanny, and so completely out of my league.

Our first encounter? Pure fire, clashing wills with a passion that ensnared us both. Our second? A tentative truce, maybe even a budding friendship. But at some point, we slid recklessly into a 'friends with benefits' arrangement, thinking we could stay casual. 

Wishful thinking, I know.

With each passing day, our no-strings-attached fling starts weaving threads between us that I’m not ready to cut. Indie’s fierce independence clashes with my need to protect, to heal, and to love her despite her warrines to open up.

But will my steadfast will and soft hands be enough to get through her defenses? Or am I doomed to sit in the penalty box of Indie’s heart? 

Ice, Love, & Other Penalties is part of the family Decker but can be read as a standalone.

This is Indie and Ty's story. Its about two people who have been hurt by love in the past and its still affecting them now years later. They find each other when her brother asks Indie to help Ty out with his daughter when he gets moved to Seattle to play for her brothers hockey team.

This book can be considered a sports romance but honestly there is very little hockey scenes in this book. Indie is a very kind and sweet character but she also is distant from pretty much everyone except her animals and children. She also is 26 and Ty is 36 so there is also an age gap to this story but its never a big deal in the story. While Indie does take care of Ty's daughter, she is not employed in that position. She does it more to help her brother out than about money or a paycheck. Ty is also a single dad, but we never really meet the mother. 

The hurt that Indie holds close to herself is related to a sexual assault. If that's a sensitive subject, you can still read this book but skip the prologue/1st chapter. Its not really discussed much in the book other than it is there and Indie really tried to find ways to handle it. She is a really strong character and I loved that about her. As to Ty's hurt, its about the way he grew up and he really overcame it. He is pretty awesome in that he got out and he is mostly good, but he does have this insecurity and it ends up affecting his move to Seattle. 

I enjoyed this story a lot. I really wish I saw a better resolution for Indie. In that the guy never gets what he deserves.  Her facing her issues is rectified and I loved how Ty waits for her and knows she needs time to heal but I also wanted the guy punished.

NOW ON SALE! RESTRAINT by Mari Carr (Blake and Erica)

  


ABOUT THE BOOK
Girlfriend…without benefits?

Hometown hockey hero, Blake has life completely figured out. He’s footloose and fancy free with the world’s coolest job and an endless parade of puck bunnies ready to help him celebrate his victories. The status quo is working for him, so why does he agree to co-parent a stray puppy with his too-serious, workaholic neighbor, Erika? And why is he so annoyed when she suddenly starts dating some tool named Doug? And why can’t he stop finding excuses to see her and touch her and kiss her and… She’s not his girlfriend, right?

Erika has enough on her plate as an ER doctor without adding any more stress to her life. So adopting a dog with Blake, the fun-loving, never-take-anything-serious, commitment-phobe across the hall is a stupid idea, right? Of course, she also probably shouldn’t be his plus-one for charity galas either. Or seeking comfort from him during a thunderstorm. Or kissing his five-for-fighting boo-boos better. Or letting him teach her how to “reduce stress” with her personal toy collection. After all, he’s not her boyfriend. Is he?

So what happens when two people reluctant to commit find love where they least expect it… Right across the hall.

This is a neighbors and best friends to love story between Erika, who is a doctor and her very hot neighbor and bestie, Blake. She is into serious relationships, and he just wants casual and that's why they decided when they met to just be friends. 

One thing I really loved about this story is that we get to visit Pat's bar. If you are a fan of the authors other series, then you will enjoy getting a glimpse of previous characters. It was awesome that Blake and Erika live close enough to hang out and visit the bar.

This is a purely fun book. There is no extra drama. It's a best friends to lovers' story with lots of very sexy fantasies, heavy petting and sexy kisses. It's he falls first story with jealous moments and a very slow burn. And I mean BURN!! These two are very hot together.

The Sweet Spot - Playing to Win #4 - By Bella Matthews (Brynlee St. James and Deacon Kane)

 



The Sweet Spot by Bella Matthews is now live! 

ABOUT THE BOOK

From USA Today and Amazon Bestselling Author Bella Matthews, comes a hot new hockey coach, single dad, marriage of convenience, small town romance.


A fake marriage with a single dad wasn't on my dance card but there are worse ways to start the summer.

Our story didn’t begin the night I agreed to marry Deacon Kane to help him keep his daughter. It started ten years ago, with a hotshot hockey player I couldn’t wait to see each summer. He was big, broad, and filled out his board shorts so damn nicely. But holy hell… The memories of teenage Deacon don’t hold a candle to the man he is now, the one who makes me melt each time he says, "my wife."

What was supposed to be a marriage of convenience quickly spirals into something else. Something I can’t control. Because this man makes me feel alive in a way I haven’t felt in months, and I want more.

More sparks.
More life.
More time.

Can a relationship based on lies last… Especially when I’m the one keeping all the secrets?

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

This is Brynlee's story, she is PT and works for the hockey team, but her mom is Scarlet Kingston, and her dad is Cade who runs a boxing gym. We have seen her in previous books but in this book, we get to see how things happened, and I totally loved it. We get to see who she was having sex with, and we get her take on scenes we saw in another book.

Is this a standalone book? I think it can be read as a stand-alone, maybe. But honestly there are lots of names and I have read all the books and I still have to remind myself whose parents are whose and whose kid is whose and whose siblings are whose. So, I highly suggest you read this series from book one.  It's an awesome series and I LOVE THE KINGSTONS!!

This is a second chance romance between Deacon and Brynlee. They knew each other's as teens and only run into each other at a bar. He is in town for a job, and she lives there still. But she has some upcoming challenges in this book, related to her mother, father and her job. Let's just say things get bumpy between her and her parents and her job. 

Deacon has always had feelings for Brynn, but she was always too young until well now. He is a single dad and he and Brynn have a blast catching up. But his ex is now married, and they have some issues in this story. 

I wouldn't say either party needed to get married. But they do marry fast, and they tell themselves it's a marriage to make things easier but from the second they re-meet, things get very complicated. I absolutely loved Deacon; he really is perfect for Brynn. 

Brynn is a really strong and awesome woman, and I loved her book so much. She gets some hard knocks, but she always comes back to fight what she wants in life. I love how the story discusses how Scarlett is the mom of the heart and the issue of who her mom was. It's a big part of this story and I really enjoyed that angle of the story.
