Sandra's Review

5 out of 5 stars

Quarterback Keeper is Lacey Black’s newest standalone novella. I have read every word Lacey has written and have loved them all. She is becoming the queen of the surprise baby books!
Ashtyn had no idea that when she went over to celebrate her news with her twin brother, Alex, that she would end the night with his best friend, Tate. Tate, the hottest quarterback in the NFL as well as being the biggest playboy. She had only met him a handful of times over the last ten years and never thought in a million years that he even looked at her as more than Alex’s bookworm little sister. And she definitely didn’t expect that their one night together would change her life forever…
Tate is shocked, pissed, and in awe of Ash’s secret. He thought their night together was amazing even if he did leave like a coward by morning. But this? Why wouldn’t she tell him about having a baby. A baby! A cute little one who stares at him like he is his everything. He never thought he would want this but he is knocked off his axis. Can he and Ash make this work? Is there more than a baby between them?
Aw!! This is an novella but it packs a punch! So much story full of friendship, love, burps, and little cute baby toes. I loved it and kinda hoping for an Alex book. That man needs to find love.
Quotes:
The sexy librarian could very well have been the best thing to happen to me and my greatest mistake, all in one.
Trying to pretend he’s not there is futile, especially when his aftershave makes its way across the room. It’s a sexy woodsy scent that would turn the best of girls into a bad one.
“You might be right, but look what I did,” I state proudly, pointing down to the fresh diaper.
Ashtyn snickers, closing the dirty diaper and throwing it at me. “The quarterback has quick hands.”
5 out of 5 stars

Quarterback Keeper is a short, sexy, funny and sweet novella by the talented Lacey Black. I love a good brother’s best friend romance and add in a surprise baby? Double the goodness! Tate is Ashtyn’s twin brother’s best friend. They aren’t close, but they spend one night together, celebrating her new job, drinking and talking. He’s more than she thought he would be. And he wants her. She should say no, he’s a famous NFL quarterback, but she doesn’t want to. Their chemistry is too good to pass up. But then he’s gone in the morning, but never forgotten. She’ll always have his baby to remember him by. But then he shows up at her door with her brother and he’s not going to let her get away again. Tate hasn’t stopped thinking about Ash since the one night they spent together. He hasn’t been partying like he used to. Hasn’t been picking up women. She just got to him and he can’t believe she’s here. And she has a baby. One look at her son and he knows it’s his. And he’s not running away this time. Will Tate and Ashtyn realize there’s more between them than their son? I loved this story. So much! It might be a novella, but it never feels that way. It’s well developed, fast-paced and I fell hard and fast for the characters. Tate is sexy and sweet and I love the way he looks at her and his son. Ash is smart, funny and such a good mom. Overall, I laughed, teared up, smiled and loved it.

Sandra's Review

5 out of 5 stars

The Virgin Game Plan is the second novel in the First to Score series by the talented, Lauren Blakely. I was so excited when she announced she was writing a series with not only virgins but baseball!! I grew up loving the game. It’s the sport my family both played and loved to watch. And living in the Bay Area we had two teams. The A’s and the Giants so it’s fun that this series has two SF teams who are rivals. Ok, moving on…
Holden was only a player on the field. He needed to have a connection with a woman before he took her to bed. He also didn’t need distractions. His life was baseball. So when he met a woman who gave good flirty banter and knew her baseball, he was a goner. They spent one unforgettable afternoon and evening together. It ended too soon. Their plans axed a week later. It was over. Or so they thought…
Two years. It was almost two years since that day. Two years since they were in the same town, let alone room. It was fate that brought them back together. Then, a wrench is throw. Reese was Holden’s new manager’s daughter. He was new to the team. She was new to her publicist job. Risks all-around, folks. Off-limits. She was the forbidden fruit. Will they take the risk?
I ♥️ Holden. He is seriously swoony. Sweet. Funny. Smart. Determined. Reese is a badass with her love of baseball, coffee and retro clothes. I want to hang out with her. With them. They are fun, beautiful, and so lovable. I also love their friends!! I can’t wait for them to fall.
Quotes:
The man has a mouth for innuendo and lips made for dirty talk. Words seem to fall from his tongue laced with seduction.
“My God, you’re stunning,” I say as I regard the beauty in front of me wearing a red lace bra. ‘Look at you. Still in your power color.”
She bites her lips, nodding. “Is it working?”
“I feel powerless in front of you,” I say speaking from the truth of my bottomless desire for her.
“Is that a new location in Candy Land?”
“It is. You’ll find it a little east of Blow Job commons. Just south of Lollipop Woods.”
5 out of 5 stars

The Virgin Game Plan is the second book in the Rules of Love series by the fabulous, Lauren Blakely. I am loving this series something fierce! These characters just make me happy! They are all sexy, sweet, funny and talented. I’m envious of their friendship bonds and I want to be friends with the women they fall for! Lauren is the queen character development. She introduces us to them once and we are always eager for more. So much more! The Virgin Game Plan is Holden and Reese’s story. It’s fresh, flirty, and funny. Holden and Reese met years ago and had an instant connection. They talked, shared things about themselves and both wanted more after the night was over. Fate had other plans and their lives and dreams took them in different directions. Now, it’s two years later and they find themselves in the same town, in the same circles. And as soon as they see each other again it’s like no time has passed. They want to pick up where they left off. Until her father becomes Holden’s new coach. Now she’s off limits. But they can’t seem to stay away from each other. Is love worth the risk? I love this story! Holden is swoony, sexy, funny and smart. Reese is independent, knows who she is and talented. They are the perfect match. Career driven, but also want to follow their hearts. They show us that both are possible! This forbidden romance made me swoon so hard! The sexy, second baseman and the coach’s daughter have off-the-charts chemistry! 

 

 

Blurb:

A forbidden romance with the coach’s daughter wasn’t part of my game plan.

I had an excuse two years ago when I met her on campus. She interviewed me for a story on major league baseball’s rising stars, and we shared a hot, passionate night that ended far too soon, and without a mention of who her father was.

Now I know the innocent but sexy woman I can’t stop thinking about is the coach’s daughter.

That means her dad is the guy who determines if I bat fourth in the starting lineup in every game, or ride the bench.

All the more reason to resist alluring, confident, brainy Reese every time I run into the reporter-turned-sports publicist.

That ought to be easy enough, until the time she confesses she’s still carrying her V card, and she’s been wanting me to cash it in since the day we met.

Staying away from her is going to be harder than resisting a fastball down the middle.

Especially since I’m pretty sure she’s the one who got away, and letting her slip through my fingers again would be a rookie mistake.

Blog Tour & Excerpt – Reel, Kennedy Ryan

June 9, 2021 | Posted in Blog Tour | By

“Reel is alive and pulsing like a beating heart. This romance is a triumph of art and emotion.” –Talia Hibbert, New York Times bestselling author

Reel, an all new epic CONTEMPORARY STANDALONE love story from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Kennedy Ryan, is available now!

One moment in the spotlight.

For months I stood by, an understudy waiting in the wings, preparing for my time to shine. I never imagined he would watch in the audience that night. Canon Holt. Famous film director. Fascinating. Talented. Fine. Before I could catch my breath, everything changed. I went from backstage Broadway to center stage Hollywood. From being unknown, to my name, Neevah Saint, on everyone’s lips. Canon casts me in a star-studded Harlem Renaissance biopic, catapulting me into another stratosphere.

But stars shine brightest in the dead of night. Forbidden attraction, scandal and circumstances beyond my control jeopardize my dream. Could this one shot—the role of a lifetime, the love of a lifetime—cost me everything?

  Excerpt   “Turn around.” It’s a guttural command.
 He bends me over the arm of the couch, and my hands hit the cushion for support, to steady myself. At the sound of the condom tearing, my inner muscles contract, bracing for him. He spreads my cheeks and, slipping his whole hand between my legs, cups the trembling flesh. I’m unprepared for the swipe of his tongue. For the subtle abrasion of his beard scraping the inner skin of my thighs. For the sound of him eating me. I push back against his face, helpless, no shame. Digging my nails into the cushions, I widen my legs to give me more, to take more for myself. He grips my thighs, holding me steady for his devouring mouth until, with a sob that sails over the rooftop, over the city, I contract around his delving tongue. The orgasm hits hard, tightening the muscles in my thighs and calves. With staccato breaths, I bury my face in the couch, biting my lip to the point of pain.
 “Canon,” I beg. “Stop teasing me and—”
 He shoves in, and the words tumble back down my throat, recessing into the shock of this pleasure.
 “Jesus.” Need shreds my voice to ribbons. 
 He coasts his hand up my back, gently cuffs my neck. Ass in the air, I rise up on my toes, begging for breath, petitioning for more dick. He gives it to me, pushing impossibly deeper.
 “So damn good,” he grunts behind me. 
I hope I never get over how perfect he feels inside me, like I was molded to his specifications. Shaped for his dimensions. I moan and reach my hand back to pull at one of my cheeks, widening the way for his cock. It feels like he goes where no dick has gone before, deeper, better. Somehow I feel each thrust in my heart. His every touch plays on my emotions, and tears sting my eyes. His hand tightens at my hip, and he slides the other hand up my arm, finds my hand on the couch and laces our fingers together. He sets a frenetic pace that sends the blood singing through my body again. The cushion absorbs my scream as I come, and I punish the soft cotton with clawing nails. With his voice strangled, his fingers fisted in my hair, he comes. 
 Collapsing against my back, a heavy, happy burden, his breath stilted and warm at my neck, he snakes one muscled arm around my middle, clutching me. After the urgent, feral coupling, it’s a cherishing hold. I cross my arm over his at my waist and tangle our fingers. It’s fragile and sweet, this moment, like flakes of sugar disintegrating on your tongue when you’ve barely had time to taste.

Release Day & Reviews – 608 Alpha Avenue, Adriana Locke

June 8, 2021 | Posted in Release Day Blitz, Review | By

We are so excited to announce the release of Adriana Locke’s new novella, 608 Alpha Ave. This is a total standalone story about a grumpy, small-town mechanic and a pocket-full-of-sunshine heroine that gets under his skin. Basically—read this now! Even better is that the novella (did we mention that it’s a standalone?) is available in Kindle Unlimited.

Things heat up (and take an unexpected turn) when a self-proclaimed romantic requests the help of a broody small-town mechanic. Grayson Blake is a jackass. There’s no other way to put it. He comes into Fireside every day and orders a beer. It’s nearly impossible to get him to have a conversation while he drinks it. Smiles—or anything remotely close to it—are even more rare. Despite his cantankerous personality, he’s so freaking gorgeous. His thick black hair, broad shoulders, and the tattoos that mark his calloused skin draw me in like a magnet. I don’t even care that he’s ten years older than me. I’m here for the age gap. And his broody, bad-boy persona is entirely more attractive than it should be. I have a thing for the rough-around-the-edges mechanic. And I’ve heard through the grapevine that he has a thing for me too. But getting him to admit it will be as easy as catching lightning in a bottle. Buy Now for $2.99 or Read Free in Kindle Unlimited.  

Sandra's Review

5 out of 5 stars

608 Alpha Avenue is a standalone novella and part of the Cherry Falls romance collection. I have read 99% of Adriana’s books and have loved them all. This one is no different. It’s shorter but still has so much story between the words. 
 
Haley is a bartender by night and a lover of the outdoors with a dream of becoming a writer by day. On the nights she is working, he is there. A man who makes her weak in the knees with just one look. Shoot, not even one look, just hearing his voice or seeing him wave from his truck will do it. She crushed hard on the broody mechanic who sat on his stool every night while watching sports, a man who seemed to be annoyed by her. But, she had hope. She saw his smirk. He needed her help and she needed his. A marketing plan in exchange for a Q&A for her book. Easy, right? 
 
Haha. No. 
 
Grayson was a mechanic and outdoorsman. He was also ten years older than the woman he put in the “off-limits” box. She deserved more than a man like him. No, he wasn’t a manwhore but he could be an asshole. For some reason she liked that. He knew about her little crush. He shouldn’t be near her but he couldn’t stay away. Then, she goes and makes a deal. He didn’t expect one hike to change it all. 
 
Omfg!! I loved them. Haley might be only twenty-one but she knew what she wanted. Grayson is delicious in his alpha ways and his side of sweetness. I am so glad Adriana signed up for not one but two novellas in this series! 
 
Quotes: 
 
“Look at me, planning ahead like an adult.” 
Bryant’s laughter—something I’ve never pegged as annoying until this very moment—rings through the hardware store. “I love a woman with a can-do attitude.” 
Tread lightly, motherfucker.  
I glare at the side of his face, but he’s oblivious. 
 
Grayson is rough and grumpy. He’s raw. He’s roguish and irritable, and that makes him … perfect.  
It doesn’t help that he’s the walking advertisement for the word man with his beard and muscles and—gah!
 
“Lose your shirt too.”  
“I’m the boss here, woman.”  
“That’s cute.”

 

Kara's Review

5 out of 5 stars

608 Alpha Avenue is a standalone romance in the Cherry Falls world. I love Adriana and her books and this one was perfect! Smart, sassy leading lady. Sexy, brooding, alpha-hole hero. On the outside, they don’t even like each other. On the inside, they can’t seem to stop thinking about each other. Grayson has wanted Haley since they day he met her, but he’s older, a tad selfish and knows that one taste of her and he’ll never walk away. Haley can’t help wanting the jerky mechanic. But she knows he will never like her more than just a bartender and an acquaintance. Oh how wrong she is. A simple hike together quickly becomes a turning point in their relationship. Grayson has to decide if he’s going to walk away and never look back or take Haley into his arms and never let go. I loved this story! It’s short, sexy and packs a punch with all the feels!

 

Want more? “I don’t get it,” I mutter.   My hand stills against the countertop, a white bar rag clutched firmly in my grasp.  Natalia Barlow leans across the end of the bar, putting her ass and the top of her thong on full display for the table of bikers behind her. An unlit cigarette is perched between her cherry-red lips, threatening to topple to the floor as she catches me looking and smirks.  I roll my eyes and turn my back to her.   “I don’t get it,” I say again, louder this time.  My gaze fixes on the man—the only man—occupying a barstool on this side of the restaurant. Grayson Blake. Black hair, scruffy beard, tall, and oh-so muscular with tattoos etched into his tanned skin. Word has it that he has flames inked on his right hip, and when he moves, they dance as if they’re alive.  I’ve mentally filed that away because it’s something I’ll (sadly) never know for myself. Guys like Grayson Blake? They go for women like Natalia. Vixens. Women who give as good as they get. Women who understand them or, at the very least, the games they play.  I’m not one of those women. It will be both my personal and professional downfall.  Grayson lifts his beer bottle, and as if it pains him to do it, he slides his gaze to mine.  I swallow. Hard.  It doesn’t matter that I’ve worked at Fireside Bar and Grill for two years or that I’ve spent countless hours behind this very bar while Grayson sits on the other side, I can’t think straight when he looks at me. I also can’t look away. It’s quite the predicament.   “It just perplexes me,” I say, sinking my gaze into the steely depths of Grayson’s eyes. My voice isn’t quite as confident as it was a few seconds ago. It’ll come back around, though. It just takes a moment to get my bearings.  Grayson’s features are void of humor. Or emotion. Or curiosity. He watches me as if I’m a toddler and he’s in charge of making sure I don’t choke on a peanut or small coin.   I bite my lip. “I just … Natalia …” I shrug, my voice fading into the rock music playing overhead.  Grayson’s thick, engine grease-stained fingers grip the bottle. “Am I supposed to ask?”  The grit of his tone washes against my skin, leaving a flurry of goose bumps in its wake. It’s this way every time he talks to me. And whenever he talks to Corbin, the bartender who’s training me in the art of bartending so I don’t have to just waitress anymore. Come to think of it, I also have the same physical reaction to him when I’m in the Cherry Street Market Grocery Store buying bagels and I hear him talking from an aisle over.  Who am I kidding? I react this way every time I’m in Grayson’s proximity. Hell, I shivered in my flip-flops when I caught wind of his cologne outside of Pearl’s Pawnshop and Liquor Store last week.  “Are you supposed to ask what?” I ask him.  “About whatever you keep jawing about other there—about Natalia, I reckon.”  “Well, since you asked—” “I didn’t.” He smiles a lopsided, amused smile that makes me wonder if he’s smiling with me or at me. “I asked if I was supposed to ask. I didn’t ask.”  I narrow my gaze. “You know what, Grayson Blake? You’re an asshole.”  He brings the beer bottle to his lips, hiding a satisfied grin, and pulls his gaze back to the hockey game on the television in the corner.

5 out of 5 stars

Let Me Love You is the second book in the All of Me duet by the Queen of Twists, Siobhan Davis. You can not read this book without reading Say I’m the One first. So if you haven’t done that yet…do it now!! Go…enjoy!! I really can not say much about the story without spoiling anything. I can say that this duet is epic! I have been on some crazy emotional rides but this one is wild, heartbreaking, swoon-worthy, and poetic. It hit on every last emotion. It’s full of love, laughter, passion, twists, turns, loopy-loops, family, friendship, and angst. I couldn’t put it down!
I usually add quotes but I couldn’t even do that afraid of giving anything away. Holy. Fuck. Seriously, read this duet. The writing is addictive. The storyline is epic. The characters are so well-developed and fantastic. It’s one of my favorite reads of the year! 💞
*I received this book in exchange of an honest review.

5 out of 5 stars

The Rival is the second book in the Looking to Score series by Kendall Ryan. Each book can be read as standalone but I recommend reading the series since it’s so awesome. If you read The Rebel then you have met Alex Braun, Eden’s ex and newly appointed bad boy in the NHL after their breakup. And Aspen, Eden’s friend and assistant.
One summer. One cabin. Two broken hearts ready to heal. One red-hot kiss after an unexpected night. Aspen has been around the hockey team since she took her job as the owner’s assistant. Alex never really surprises her anymore until he showed up and listened. He was the playboy over his first season with the team but it was time to get his act together. Which meant he had to stay out of the gossip papers. No women. No drinking. No fights. So, spending the summer at a cabin six hours away in Canada was the best solution. It would give him time to regroup which was exactly one of the reasons why Aspen was going as well.
It wasn’t supposed to be about being shacked up with a beautiful woman who amazed him at every turn. Aspen didn’t expect him. She was warned but she saw Alex differently. He was sweet, swoony, flirty, and best of all…a damn good cook. She felt safe and comfortable around him. And he felt the same. They could be themselves. So, what not have a summer fling? They were both single, mature, and attracted to each other. But, what will happen when the off-season ends and they have to go back to reality?
I loved these two!! Alex wasn’t my fave in The Rebel but I didn’t hate him. I do love me some bad boy. But, really, I fell for him hard in this book. I also loved Aspen, she is sweet, a book lover, and knows to stay out of the kitchen. Ha. They both went in without really knowing the other and came out knowing every inch…
Quotes:
There’s something about this sexy lumberjack look that has all my attention. Is lumberjack porn a thing? If not, it is now, and I’m thoroughly enjoying it.
“You don’t want anyone knowing beneath the tough hockey persona that you’re actually a nice guy?”
I grin at her. “Hell no. That would totally ruin my reputation for being a dick.”
She chuckles as we load the bags into the car. “Well, I’m on to you.”
“You suck, Braun.”
“Believe me, I know.” I chuckle darkly.
