Play Dirty - L.A. Phantoms #5 - by Kat Mizera (Stevie and Marty)

 

Play Dirty by Kat Mizera is available now!

https://geni.us/PlayDirtyKM

Available on all Platforms


ABOUT THE BOOK 
 

Falling for her is a risk I shouldn’t be willing to take… but I didn’t get to the top of my game my backing down.

Ten years, three kids, and what I thought was unshakable marriage—until she slept with one of my teammates. The divorce left me reeling.

Trust isn’t something I give freely anymore.

Now, all that matters is fighting for custody of my kids, while my ex tries to take them and move across the country.

The last thing I need is someone like Stevie: A stunning model with a troubled past, no interest in kids, and baggage even heavier than mine.

One dance at a wedding changed everything. I can’t get this woman out of my head.

I’m not looking for more complications, but walking away from her isn’t an option either.

Not when I can’t tell where I stop and she starts…or if playing dirty is my only shot at making her mine.

CW Warning: This book contains flashbacks to domestic violence and pregnancy loss. These events take place before the hero and heroine meet. As always in my books, there is an HEA for the couple.

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 is Stevie and Marty's story and its about a second chance at love after some terrible trauma (Stevie) and the trauma of a broken up marriage (Marty). Both have to restart their lives and I enjoyed hearing their story and seeing how trauma can affect pretty much everything.

If you have been reading this series, you know that Stevie almost died and lost not only a pregnancy but also any plans for future pregnancies. It devastated her because she always wanted kids. It was at the hands of her jerk of her ex and in this story we get to see what happens to him which I really, really loved. 

Meanwhile Marty has been married for years to his wife, yes, he is still married in this book, but they are in the process of divorcing. He has three kids. Great kids and they are so cute, they really enhanced this story so much. You also know his wife cheated and it's a very messy thing because of custody. 

These two who have been hurt in the worst ways end up becoming friends as they attend the multitude of weddings as their friends get hitched. Which I also loved. I love weddings and these two build a nice friendship. They are both so hurt by their pasts that they really need that time. I love that this story was slower, and it built a steady foundation for their relationship.

And they slowly start dating. I also really enjoyed those scenes because I love watching a normal couple date. It's fun, flirty and I love when authors let their couples start slowly with dates. Even if at first it's more platonic than romantic. I love that this was a slow burn as the characters slowly heal from their pasts. 

A lot happen in this book, and I love that the author let the characters take their time. I have really looked forward to Stevie's story and I am so in love with this story. Its romantic and heart breaking but also beautiful.

FREE IN KU! You, Me and Forever by Laura Pavlov (Montana and Myles)

 


You, Me and Forever by Laura Pavlov is now live! 


USA Today bestselling author Laura Pavlov delivers a spicy enemies-to-lovers romance about a billionaire developer and a small-town entrepreneur battling their desires in the Land of the Midnight Sun.

Myles St. James is tearing my world apart.

Wish I’d known that before I slept with him.

It was supposed to be a one-night stand.

Like I knew anything about those.

But I needed to blow off steam.

My ex had just gotten engaged.

My dry spell was nearing six months.

And my booming wedding planning business—the one I started with my bestie—was about to lose its favorite venue to some bulldozer-happy developer from New York.

The Seaside Inn is such a special place.

My second home.

And ever since that famous singer got married there, people are flocking to Blushing, Alaska, for their own weddings too.

Guess whose fling turns out to be the hotshot real estate guy?

But he isn’t what I expected.

And sleeping with the enemy doesn’t feel nearly as wrong as it should.

Because Myles St. James is rocking my world.

Too bad giving in to him could mean giving up my dreams.

(REVIEW) When We Break By Kristin Proby (Skyla and Beckett)

 


When We Break by Kristen Proby is now live! 


From New York Times Bestselling author Kristen Proby comes When We Break, a small-town, cowboy, heroine in danger romance, set in Bitterroot Valley!



Beckett


I’ve seen the gorgeous redhead with the big black dog that never leaves her side around town. She’s impossible to miss with that lush red hair and perfect green eyes. But it’s when she opens her plump lips and the sound of Ireland comes out of her kissable mouth that I know I’m a goner. I know she’s the one for me and I’ll do whatever it takes to make Skyla Gallagher mine. I can be a patient man and all I want in the world is to worship every bit of her, inside and out.



Skyla


I moved to the lovely town of Bitterroot Valley, Montana because I needed a safe place. I left my life in New York as a prima ballerina after an injury that I never fully healed from, and to escape the obsession of a madman. I adore this new community, but I must admit that Beckett Blackwell is the very best part. I love his kindness, his patience, and his thoughtfulness. But most of all, I can’t get enough of the way he worships my body, and then does everything he can to pamper me afterwards. Beckett is a drug that I’ve become addicted to. But will my stalker find me in Montana, ruining everything we’ve started together, before we have had our chance at forever?

This is Skyla and Beckett's story and its a bit on insta lust/love. But it is also sisters bestie. Because Skyla might be new to town but she is also Bee's bestie and Beckett is Bee's farmer/rancher brother.

In this story we also get to know Skyla's past, her stalker, her parents and her brother. Her brother is someone you are going to love and I cannot wait for the third book in this series. 

As mentioned this has a bit of the whole insta lust/love thing going on. But Skyla does NOT want a romance, so it was fun watching Beckett charm her. She also has a stalker, and he gave major creep vibes, shall we say. In this book we also get to visit some characters from the authors other series, and I am not spoiling who. 

While it had the whole insta lust/love thing I really liked it a lot. It was fun and romantic and very much love in a small town with a close knit community and friends. If you want a romantic story lust and romance with a rancher, then you will love this story. 

Ps. I loved how much Skyla loved Beckett's chickens!!
