Second Shot With #76

 

Second Shot with #76 by Piper Rayne is now live!

 

My mom always said you don't get a second shot at making a first impression. I've remembered that my entire career. Especially since I'm one of the few black men who play professional hockey.

I'm calculated and respectful in the way I speak to my coaches, the owners, and the media. I've never taken a risk... until her.

I could blame it on the fact that for once I pushed away the pressure of my career for the ocean waves, the sand, and good times with my new teammates. But those are excuses because the minute I saw her at the airport, something lit up inside me and the best week of my life was spent with her in my bed.

After our week in paradise, we said goodbye, exchanged phone numbers and both assumed that unless one of us was flying through the other's city on the opposite side of the country, our vacation fling was over.

Then one night after practice I see her. She's here. In my city. Telling me she moved here for a job. If that's not fate tell me what is.

I've never wanted a second shot more than I do this time, but she's determined to leave what we were on the island we left behind.

Second Shot with #76 is a steamy, fun, heartwarming, second chance, slow burn romance featuring Cory and Ande.

Ande and Cory had a holiday fling and when fate intervenes and they reconnect, but their path to finding a happy ever after has quite a few twists and turns.

Cory is a rookie for the Florida Fury, and is enjoying all the perks that come with being a professional hockey player, who is persistent and is determined to win over Ande who doesn’t trust easily.

I look forward to the next addition in this entertaining series.

Falling Embers - Catherine Cowles

 

Falling Embers, an all-new second chance romance filled with suspense from Catherine Cowles, is available now!

I’ve loved Calder Cruz from the moment he taught me how to fly. Racing down a mountain and giving me the release I so desperately needed. My understanding. My safe space.

 

Hadley has fought for a life of her own ever since her sister’s kidnapping. When she was drowning in expectations and family pressures, Calder was always the one who understood her.

 

Until one night changed it all. From best friends to strangers in a single breath.

 

She’s like a fire that lives inside me. Even when I thought it was all burned out, there were still embers that lived in my bones.

 

Calder knows what it’s like to almost lose the people he loves most. He’ll never make that kind of mistake again. Working at the fire station and taking care of his daughters are the only things he needs.

 

All it takes is a single moment to make him realize how wrong he is. A split second of coming close to losing the woman he has always loved.

 

But as long-buried embers light anew, there are those who lurk in the shadows. And they’ll do whatever it takes to extinguish that flame for good…

Falling Embers is an emotional, small town, suspenseful romance and the second title in the Tattered & Torn series, featuring Calder and Hadley.

Calder is Hadley’s older brother’s best friend, a firefighter, and a single father.  Events from his past have left him a little scarred and whilst cautious and protective, he’s also a big-hearted hero.

Hadley is a brave and adventurous EMT who uses her addiction to adrenaline to deal with trauma from her past.  Her mother’s incessant need to keep her safe makes her feel stifled and suffocated.  

This pairs story is sweet, complicated, romantic, and sexy with plenty of surprising twists and turns, and I look forward to future additions to this series.

My dreams came true when I was adopted at ten.

It is another family vacation; except this time it feels different. Everything feels different.

Only One Forever is the eighth title in the Only One series and features best friends Alex and Dylan who were raised as cousins, but not related by blood.

Dylan first appeared as a child in This is Forever when he was adopted by Justin. Dylan has grown up to be a sweet, kind, loyal man who is a professional hockey player.

Alex is the daughter of Max and Alison who appeared in Something So Irresistible. She’s compassionate, caring and fun.

The chemistry between this pair is undeniable and their friends to lovers romance is emotional, passionate, complicated and messy, but also completely captivating and endearing.

I loved the cameos from the original characters from the Something So, and This Is series, and the way in which this family interacts and banters with each other.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed each addition to this world, and was intrigued by the twists and turns throughout this title.  I highly recommend Natasha Madison’s books to anyone who enjoys a sports romance with interconnected standalones.

Cease Fire - Marie James

 

Making something off-limits will always make that thing more appealing.

Jules Warren, my sister’s best friend, was no different.

She has been the leading lady in every fantasy I’ve had since I was a teenager.

There was no way I was turning her down when she invited me to her room.

Those fantasies? They had nothing on the real thing.

I was given the weekend to make my dreams come true.

The ramifications, however, will last a lifetime.

Keeping a secret is one thing.

Living with the lies is impossible.

Cease Fire is the ninth title in the Blackbridge Security series and features Jules and Kit.

Kit has had a long-standing love for his older sister’s best friend, and their story oozes with angst, drama, and emotion, but also has touches of humor.

Kit is loyal, loving, tattooed, patient, kind, protective and sexy.  He’s a big-hearted hero who will do anything for those he cares for most.

I struggled to connect with Jules’ character.  She’s dishonest throughout this title, and too manipulative and selfish for my liking, even though I could understand she was affected by trauma from her past.

Despite the fact that their relationship is full of complications and betrayals, their chemistry and connection is undeniable, and their love scenes are incredibly steamy.

Not my favorite of the series, but still an enjoyable read. 

Claiming The Cowboy - Kennedy Fox

 

Early morning feedings, barn clean up, and chasing goats are Knox Bishop’s everyday routine. That changes when a bachelor auction brings him face to face with the world’s most forbidden fruit—his twin brother’s crush.

He shouldn’t tempt her, but the way her body reacts to his makes it too damn easy.

Hadleigh has known the Bishop twins all her life and they’ve never crossed the lines. That is until she fools around with Knox and learns he has a piercing south of the border. A piercing she very much enjoys licking.

She knows his main hobby consists of random weekend hookups, but she can’t get the taste of him off her mind.

Admitting what she feels wouldn’t be so difficult if Kane Bishop hadn’t just confessed his feelings for her too. Now she finds herself wedged between two brothers—one she could break and one who could break her.

**Claiming the Cowboy is a complete stand-alone and can be read without reading any of the other books or spin-off series, but if you prefer to read in order, start with Hitching the Cowboy as the characters and families do interconnect.**

 Claiming the Cowboy is the seventh title in the Circle B Ranch series, and whilst I’ve been eager for this title, I was also a little apprehensive as I knew it was going to feature a love triangle with Knox, Kane and Hadleigh.

I shouldn’t have been concerned as I was thoroughly captivated by this angst ridden, steamy, drama filled romance.  I adored the witty banter and interactions that the characters share, and I loved the cameos from the original generations of Bishop’s and this generations cousins who appear throughout the title.

I loved the sneak peak we got at the next title and will be eagerly awaiting it’s release.
