My Silver Lining - Rosewood River #2 - By Laura Pavlov (Lulu and Rafe)


My Silver Lining  by Laura Pavlov is now live! 


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


Lulu Sonnet is the bane of my existence.

She’s caused me more physical pain than any man should ever endure.

From an accidental throat punch to a near death by shovel—

Don’t even get me started on that vicious pool ball accident where she almost robbed me of my family jewels.

She’s a hot little heathen, and what’s worse?

She’s staying in my brother’s rental house while I’m temporarily living in the guest house.

And now she needs a favor.

A fake boyfriend.

I’ll dote on her for a few weeks, she’ll return the favor so my boss’s daughter will stop nagging me, and then we’ll part ways.

It seems simple enough.

Until we end up in the same shower.

And then the same bed.

The lines are blurring.

She’s beautiful and fierce and sexy all at the same time.

But Lulu isn’t staying in Rosewood River forever.

The place I call home is just a pitstop for her.

But suddenly everything I thought I wanted is no longer important to me.

My fake girlfriend has turned my world upside down.

And now nothing feels right without her.

This is Rafe and Lulu's romance. She is the best friend of Henley and he is the brother and her besties fiancee. She is in town spending time with Henley and hiding out from her ex and the media circus he brings. 

Her family hated her ex and she wants to show them that she has moved on and so she begs Rafe to be her fake boyfriend. He asks her to pretend to be his girlfriend so his bosses daughter leaves him alone. 

Rafe is a charmer thats for sure and Lulu is beautiful inside and out. The two are such a fun couple and I loved watching them fall for each other.

Bottles & Blades 

by Elise Faber is available now! 

https://geni.us/BottlesandBlades

Available on All Platforms

 

ABOUT THE BOOK

I fell in love with a billionaire.
I just didn’t know it.
Jean-Michel Dubois is the owner of the professional hockey team, the Oakland Eagles, and established the world-renowned Oak Ridge Vineyards.
And…he’s fallen for me.
Me. The boring woman who spends her time studying, baking cookies, and nannying for an adorable little girl.
A relationship between us makes no sense—I’ve tried to make him see that.
But he’s a successful businessman for a reason.
He's ruthless and goes after what he wants.
And he’s decided…
That’s me.





ABOUT THE AUTHOR

USA Today bestselling author, Elise Faber, loves chocolate, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and hockey (the order depending on the day and how well her team—the Sharks!—are playing). She and her husband also play as much hockey as they can squeeze into their schedules, so much so that their typical date night is spent on the ice. Elise changes her hair color more often than some people change their socks, loves sparkly things, and is the mom to two exuberant boys.

She lives in Northern California. Connect with her in her Facebook group, the Fabinators or email her at elisefaberauthor@gmail.com.

This is an author I have not read in a long time. I decided to read this book because it seemed to be a bit different and it was the first book in a new series. I would probably call it more of a prequel to the series. Its a transition book from the hockey teams to this winery which is owned by JM.

I enjoyed the story and am really liking this new series. This was a great prequel story. I liked getting the backstory on all the character's I met in this book because I didn't read their stories. And the next book in this series I am totally excited to read.

This story has a HUGE age gap. I liked how this was addressed in this story. Especially as Tiff is a few years older than JM's daughter. I also loved catching up with Stefan and his wife and daughter. I loved how the family had made Tiff their own. I also loved how protective JM was of Tiff. 

The ex wife who was supposed to be dead but wasn't and causes trouble, made this book all the more fun. This was a really fun book and I really loved it a lot.

Playoff - L.A. Phantoms #4 - by Kat Mizera (Rowan and Blake) -


 Playoff by Kat Mizera is available now!


Available on All Platforms

ABOUT THE BOOK 

 Turning thirty shouldn’t be a big deal—unless you’re a minor league hockey player starting to realize the big leagues might never call. It’s a tough pill to swallow.


But then, out of nowhere, I get my shot. The L.A. Phantoms are in the playoffs for the first time in decades, and with their roster decimated by injuries, they call me up.

I’m prepared to warm the bench, but with a solid season behind me, they’re willing to give me some ice time. This is the chance of a lifetime. Until she walks in.

My first love. The one I never forgot.

She’s now the head trainer for the Phantoms, and we haven’t seen each other in years—not since the night I let the best thing to ever happen to me walk away.

I always assumed we’d find our way back to each other someday.

I just didn’t expect that day to be today.

Dating her could risk everything we’ve both worked for.

How are we supposed to choose between the future we’ve dreamed of and the past we never let go of?
 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 was a really fun book. It stars Rowan and Blake who are exes who fell in love in high school but broke up. He ended up making lots of mistakes in the ten years they have been apart. Meanwhile she was a huge success and now works for the Phantoms team. 

This story begins with a bang and I am serious, its a big disaster that ends up injuring a bunch of the Phantoms and requiring some players from the minor league team to come up to the majors and play in the playoffs. That is how Blake ends up as a temp player on the team that Rowan works on.

This is a second chance romance within the sports and playoff world. Blake made some bad decisions and needs for his chance to payoff. Rowan has a no fraternizing clause in her contract and so its also very much a forbidden relationship. 

I really enjoyed this story. I love ow we get to see both families, Rowans and Blakes within this book. Its not all support and love but thats what made it a lot of fun. This was a really fast read for me and I really loved the drama in this book.

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.
