Kitty Kitty - Lani Lynn Vale



This is the story of a man falling in love with a woman.

 

A man that was supposed to be a role model, and a woman that was just barely twenty-one.

 

A man who should’ve known better, and a woman that didn’t know that she was destroying his career word by word, innocent touch by innocent touch, smile by smile, until it had already imploded.

 

The world collapses around Absinthe ‘Sin’ Solomon, and the only thing he can do is try not to take her down with him.

 

The moment the inevitable happens, and the gavel bangs signaling that he will spend the next nine years in prison for attempted murder, Sin tries to let go. But Blaise Mackenzie has never, not ever, been one to give up without a fight.

 

Her military career might be over, but her career as a prison guard is just about to get started.

 

And her favorite prisoner? A pissed-off older man, a drill sergeant dishonorably discharged from the Army that tells himself daily that the new ‘Kitty Kitty’ female prison guard is not for him.

 

After following him around for years, watching over him from afar in any way she can, Sin is released early. And the first person that he’s going to see? A stubborn little blonde-headed female that should’ve known better than to trust a man like him.

Kitty Kitty is the fifth title in the Souls Chapel Revenants series, featuring Blaise and Sin.

Blaise is the daughter of Sebastian and Baylee featured in Lights to My Siren, and granddaughter of Silas Mackenzie, featured in Counter to My Intelligence.  She comes from a long line of strong, independent, confident, and loyal men and women much like the rest of her family.  Blaise is headstrong, sweet, sassy, resilient, and determined.

Absinthe ‘Sin’ Solomon is the brother of Coke Solomon who was featured in Ain’t Doin’ It, and is an intense, masculine, protective alpha.  He can be quite blunt, and gruff, but also sweet.

This title is a sweet, sexy, steamy, and suspenseful age gap romance, with sexual tension that oozes from the page.

With cameos from familiar characters from the Dixie Wardens and Simple Man series, I was captivated from beginning to end and look forward to the rest of this series.

Don't Go Away Mad - Lacey Black

 




Jasper
 
The kitchen: it’s my domain, where I create the best burgers in the Midwest. I’m the man behind the grill at Burgers and Brew, the restaurant and bar I co-own with my best friends. Every night, we’re packed, the demand has never been this high. It’s the only way I want it, thriving and pushing myself to be the very best.
 
Then she started her new business across the street from mine.
 
The one woman who always got under my skin, who pushed me to be better. Lyndee was my biggest rival in school and my biggest regret.
 
Now, she’s in town, and as much as I try, I just can’t stay away.
 
I want her.
 
 
Lyndee
 
A new start: that’s what Stewart Grove means for me and my brother. He’s the one who pushed me to take the chance on opening my own bakery. I am ready for the long hours, the grueling schedule, and the hard work it will take to be successful.
 
I wasn’t at all prepared to come face-to-face with the man across the street.
 
An almost kiss in college with the world’s most infuriating man has haunted me for the last decade. Now Jasper’s here, and I don’t think I can resist him.
 
Things are about to heat up in and out of the kitchen.
 
I just pray I don’t get burned.

Don’t Go Away Mad is the second title in the Burgers and Brew Crue Series featuring Jasper and Lyndee.  Whilst somewhat predictable, this title is still sweet and enjoyable.

Jasper is the chef and part owner of Burgers and Brew and is a complete perfectionist.  He tends to be quite gruff, grumpy, and controlling, and likes everything done his way, and to his standards.

Lyndee loves to put Jasper in his place.  She’s sweet, sassy, passionate and cares for her younger brother. 

Jasper and Lyndee’s banter is fun, flirty, antagonistic, and full of sparring and squabbling, that is sure to keep a smile upon your face.

The chemistry between this pair is undeniable, their story well-paced and has equal parts heat, heart, and humour.

I loved seeing more of the Burgers and Brue Crue and look forward to future additions to this series.

My Lucky #13 - Piper Rayne



Lucky.

 

The one adjective used to describe my entire hockey career. I prefer to call it hard work, at least I did until my game went to complete crap. I haven’t scored in eight games and my team owner is talking about trading me.

 

I’ve never believed in superstitions. Never needed one. I suppose I was “lucky” in that way. But now the best way to refer to me is desperate. I’d wear the same socks for an entire year just to be the high-scoring center I used to be.

 

Imagine my surprise when after spending New Year’s Eve with a woman, I score a hat trick in the next game—that’s three goals in one game for you non-hockey lovers. Now, I have to track  her down and bribe her to do it again before every game. Get your mind out of the gutter, I’m not talking about it.

 

I find her and when I get to know her better, I end up spending more time thinking about her than my game, but she’s made it clear she wants no part of me. She’s going to learn that I didn’t become a professional hockey player without having to fight for what I want.

My Lucky #13 is the first title in the Hockey Hotties series, and a slow burn, friends to lovers, sports romance.  I’ve been looking forward to Aidan’s story since he was featured in A Co-Worker’s Crush.

Aidan is a professional hockey play, who generally doesn’t take much notice of superstitions until he gets into a form slump.  Aidan is nothing like a stereotypical jock, he’s kind, caring, and polite.  Despite his gentlemanly behavior he’s incredibly hard working, determined and driven to succeed.

Saige is a social media expert for professional athletes and has strong feelings regarding dating athletes, especially those she is working with.  She’s strong, resilient and fun.

Saige and Aidan’s story is sweet, sexy, charming, and entertaining with banter that is witty, flirtatious, and fun.  This pair have undeniable chemistry, and both are incredibly endearing.

I thoroughly enjoyed the camaraderie and friendship that Aidan shares with his teammates and look forward to seeing more of them in future additions to this series. 


 

You Loved Me Once - Corinne Michaels

 



I'm losing myself trying to save everyone else...


You Loved Me Once by Corinne Michaels is now live! 


From New York Times Bestselling author Corinne Michaels comes a heartbreakingly beautiful standalone story about letting love in.

I'm losing myself trying to save everyone else...

As a doctor, I walk a dangerously delicate balance of being compassionate but not overly invested. The same is true in my personal life--love is a luxury I can't afford.

It isn't until Dr. Westin Grant breaks down all my walls and offers me a future, I find myself wondering if I'm brave enough to risk my heart.

When who I was and who I've tried to become collide during my clinical trial, the fate of one patient changes everything.

In a single moment, everything I've worked for is jeopardized. My integrity, my career, and even my relationship with Westin.

He loved me once, I just hope he can love me always ...

You Loved Me Once is an emotional and angsty journey of self-discovery.  I was captivated from beginning to end by this heartbreaking, yet heart-warming story of love, loss, hope, redemption and second chances.

Serenity Adams is a passionate, driven, and dedicated oncologist who keeps everyone at arm’s length and her personal life takes a back seat to her professional goals and aspirations.  Struggling with grief, this conflicted heroine is faced with choices that could affect everyone around her.

Once again Corinne Michaels has put her readers through an emotional wringer and I thoroughly enjoyed this engaging and unique story.

Thumper - Marie James



 


I’ve been many things in my life.
A liar.
A cheater.
A thief.
And I’ve never had a problem with any of it.
I knew my path, knew which direction I was heading when it was all over—straight to Satan’s lair.
I accepted it, reveled in it, and always asked for more.
Nothing would change me, no one could sway me.
Or so I thought.
I knew I was a monster.
I just don’t know how to convince Cara Gibson that I’m her monster.

Thumper is the seventeenth title in the Cerberus MC series.  After the ending to Jinx, I was eager to read Thumper, but wasn’t entirely sure what to expect when reading the synopsis, but it’s safe to say I wasn’t disappointed.

Thumper is a unique addition to the Cerberus MC series, with quite a few twists and turns that I didn’t anticipate.

At times, this title is quite dark, but it’s also an emotional story of passion, protection, secrets and survival.

Overall an intense and captivating story that left me eager for Apollo’s story next.

Jock Royal - Sara Ney

 




IT’S EASY TO TAKE ONE DARE WHEN YOU THINK IT’S HARMLESS.

 

Ashley Dryden-Jones is the best rugby player on the field—when I take a dare I instantly regret, I had no way of knowing he was a gentleman. An athlete. British with no plans to stay in the States.

 

He makes me forget myself, bruises, 5 o’clock shadow, accent and all.

 

He makes me forget I cannot crawl into bed with him at night—or get drunk and throw caution to the wind for once in my overly cautious life.

 

Because he’s my new roommate.

 

ONE STUPID BET LEADS TO ONE UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT.

 

When I win a trip to Vegas I need a plus one; he’s the strapping, strong and responsible choice. Besides—I’ve never been anywhere and he has.

 

He is the best friend I didn’t know I needed.

 

Ashley is one of the good ones—but I’m about to find out how bad this good boy can be.

Jock Royal, is the fourth addition to the Jock Hard series, and can be read as a standalone. 

This title features Ashley Dryden-Jones a rugby player and Georgia Parker a hurdler.  Ashley was raised with wealth and privilege, and is somewhat gruff, blunt, arrogant and honest.  He’s determined, focussed and stubborn.

Georgia’s upbringing was the complete opposite of Ashley’s being very modest, and is reliant on her scholarship to complete her studies.  She’s kind, optimistic, fun, sassy and sweet.

This title is a playful and fun read with equal parts heat, heart and humour.  The banter between this pair is fun, flirty, witty, and at times awkward and quite humorous. 

Despite the fact that this is a slow burn, friends to lovers romance the chemistry oozes between this pair.

A thoroughly enjoyable and well written addition to the Jock Hard series.


The Sweetest Thing - Maya Hughes





 Goldilocks has gotten a bit off track. I found her in my room, my bathroom and my bathtub to be precise.


Sabrina Mason is my new roommate. My new unwelcome roommate. Not that I have a say about it since I'm babysitting my Grandma's apartment, which means Sabrina's here to stay. But we'd agreed my room was off limits.

It’s bad enough my nightmares are getting worse, but having her around me makes holding it together. Her smell, smart mouth and sexy a--anyway. I can’t let her get under my skin although it might be too late. In her sloppy bun and pajamas curled up on the couch, she’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. But a relationship isn’t what I need right now.

It’s hard to remember that when she’s glowering at me when I’m being an ass. We’re forced to live together for only a few more month, I can hold out until I can’t.

She’s in my bathtub and she’s not telling me to leave. So I ask the question, “do you want me to go?”

And I’m shocked as hell when her answer isn’t ‘no’.

“Jesus, you’re sexy.” I spoke without thinking.


“Me?” she asked, sounding incredulous.


“Yes. Your curls, your curves, your smile. You’re so beautiful, and you have no idea, which makes you even more so in my books.”


She blinked, looking startled. “I had no idea you felt that way.”


I leaned forward, taking her glass from her fingers, setting it on the table, then dragging her onto my lap. I covered her mouth with mine and kissed her. I plunged one hand into her curls I loved so much, smoothing the silky strands between my fingers, and used my other arm to hold her tight. She opened for me, and I explored her, the crisp taste of the wine still lingering on her tongue. I only meant to kiss her once and let her return to her corner, but now that I had her in my arms, I didn’t want to let her go. I kissed her harder, delving my tongue into her mouth and finding all the sweet ridges, the smoothness of her teeth, the velvet feel of her tongue in my quest. She returned my caresses with enthusiasm, pressing herself closer, her legs splaying over mine so she straddled me. She wove her fingers into my hair, tugging and pulling, teasing the nape of my neck, making me hiss in pleasure. I was hard with desire for her, and I let her feel it. I wanted her to know how much she turned me on. When our mouths separated, I dragged my lips to her ear, after worshiping the smooth skin of her cheek and neck. “Beautiful,” I stated firmly.


She blinked at me, her dark eyes wide in her face. “I think you’re the sexiest man I have ever seen.” She ran her hands over my arms. “I have never met anyone like you. So strong and masculine, yet so sweet and amazing.” She swallowed. “You make me feel safe, Ronan.”


“You are always safe with me. Always.”


She bit her lip, glancing down between us. “You’re, ah, large everywhere.”


I chuckled. “All to make you smile, little bird.”


“Well, you do that just fine,” she responded.



Finding Ronan’s Heart is the second title in the Vested Interest: ABC Corp series, featuring Ronan, the eldest triplet and son of Cami and Aidan who featured in the BAM series.

Ronan was raised in a wealthy, successful, and notorious family and has always been seen as part of a trio, and it’s a breath of fresh air to be seen and recognized as an individual.  He’s king, caring, generous and persistent.

Beth is a curvy waitress, with more than her fair share of responsibilities.  She’s incredibly hard working, driven, determined and resilient and loves with her whole heart.

Beth and Ronan’s story is heartwarming and sweet.  This pair are not afraid to show their vulnerabilities and put their hearts on the line.

An endearing story of family, friendship, community and love and I look forward to seeing more of this generation in future additions to the series.

The Rule Maker - Gina Azzi

 




NHL Boston Hawks captain Austin Merrick used to be my boy-next-door. Now, he’s the man on my mind.


Our paths haven’t crossed in over a decade when I find myself back in Boston, desperate to save face in front of my ex-fiancé. With a devilish smirk and wicked blue eyes, Austin steps back into my life to be my plus one for a summer filled with weddings and events. 
 
Should be fun and effortless, right?
 
Then why the need for rules?
 
And why do I crave his touch at the small of my back and wish for his kiss on a moonlit beach?
 
Suddenly, things begin to feel complicated, messy, and real. When I look at my first friend, I don’t see the boy-next-door, but the man I want to spend forever with.
 
If Austin learns the depth of my feelings, will he give us a real chance? Or are some rules better left unbroken?
 
 
 

 







 


The Rule Maker is the fourth addition to the Boston Hawks Hockey series featuring the captain, Austin Merrick.

Austin is a big-hearted hero, and leader who struggles with choices he made in his past.  

Chloe is a strong, resilient, and intelligent heroine who has moved back in with her parents and reconnects with her childhood neighbor and best friend.

Chloe and Austin’s story is a friends to lovers romance.  The chemistry between this pair is undeniable and I thoroughly enjoyed watching their friendship evolve into something deeper.

The banter is witty and the side characters entertaining and engaging.

Overall a heartwarming and sweet read and I look forward to the next addition to the series.
