Release with Review:: Make the Play by Kaylee Ryan


Make the Play by Kaylee Ryan is now live!



Corie

Knox Beckett is heartbreak in a helmet. He’s also my brother’s best friend, and so far out of my

league, he’s untouchable.

But a few stolen glances turn into a welcome home that blindsides us both.

The rules are clear. We just chose not to follow them.

Now we’re sneaking around like we’re running a trick play, hooking up behind closed doors, and

pretending our actions don’t have the power to blow up our lives.

Knox is under my skin and tackling his way into my heart. Ready or not, it’s time we make the

play.

Knox

She’s the last girl I’m allowed to want—my best friend’s little sister. She’s all grown up and

looking at me in invitation.

The second Corie crashes into me, with her tanned, toned skin, in a barely there bikini, I know

I’m in trouble.

I shouldn’t look. And I sure as hell shouldn’t touch. My hands are already on her waist, one

second longer, and I’ll do something we both might regret.

What I do is even worse. I help her land a job working for the team. My team.

Now I can’t get her out of my mind, or my way. And keeping my hands to myself is a penalty

waiting to happen. Because Corie isn’t just off-limits—she’s one line I swore I’d never cross, yet

I’m sprinting toward it.

I’d risk the season—my entire career—for her just to make the play.

Review:
Knox and Corie's story is enjoyable. Knox has unknowingly fallen for his best friend's little sister. Corie kinda snuck up on him. He wasn't looking for anything but there she is, adorable and accepting of him. Corie has finished college and moves home to find her person. I enjoyed watching these two develop from friends to more. I am impatiently waiting for more.

THE FIRE WE CRAVE

S. Cole

Release Date: June 5 




Blurb:

From USA Today best selling author, Scarlett Cole, writing as S. Cole, comes an electrifying small town MC, grumpy/sunshine, enemies to lovers romance.


Quinn

Two things happened on my thirteenth birthday. My older sister went missing. And I told Smoke Callahan, the Iron Outlaws Road Captain, that it was his fault she was gone.

Fourteen years later, I still hate him.

But hate doesn’t keep me safe when the Bratva sets its sights on me.

I need protection. The kind only a ruthless, broken man like Smoke can provide.

So I make him an offer. I’ll help him recover from the burns that nearly cost him his life. In return, he keeps me breathing.

It should be simple. It isn’t.

Because the more time I spend in his orbit, the more I see the man behind the scars. The one who carries a past as heavy as mine. And when he looks at me, it’s not hatred I see in his dark eyes anymore.

It’s something far more dangerous.


Smoke

Quinn Moran was just a kid when she came at me, fists flying, blaming me for her sister’s disappearance. I let her. I deserved it.

Now she’s all grown up—sharp-tongued, stubborn as hell, and standing in my cabin, asking for my protection.

I should say no. I should send her away.

But I don’t. Because even if she still hates me, I’ll kill anyone who tries to hurt her.

Even if it means she learns the truth.

Even if it means she never forgives me.

Because she was never meant to be mine. But that won’t stop me from taking her.

Meet S. Cole:

Scarlett Cole is a contemporary romance and romantic suspense author who calls both Toronto, Canada and Manchester, England home. A born city dweller, she periodically quashes the urge to live in the country by hiking up a mountain to remind herself that living away from people would terrify the pants off her.


She believes everybody deserves their love story to be told and loves her heroes on the rough and rugged side…and usually tall (because she married one of those 6ft 6” men you read about in romance!). She’s an A-type personality and Scorpio star sign, so good luck getting her to do anything she doesn’t want to.


When she isn’t writing, she’s happy to talk hot men and expensive shoes while drinking a cold gin and tonic. Don’t bring up olives. As far as Scarlett is concerned, they are the devil’s food. As long as you don’t bring up olives, she’s happy to hear from any time.

THE PAST 

Sawyer Bennett

Release Date: June 3 


Buy Link:

https://geni.us/SB-ThePast



Blurb:

Before ascending the throne of the Blackburn Empire in Kentucky horse country, they were just Tommy and Fiona, two teenagers from opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Young love bloomed during an Irish summer set amidst the rolling green hills and lush pastures of Tipperary County. 


Fiona Conlan grew up sheltered by her overbearing parents and vibrating with the need for something more. In the summer of 1978, she found exactly what she needed. Ready to test the boundaries set for her, Fiona trained in the exhilarating and dangerous sport of steeplechase, and in an even more rebellious move, started secretly dating a young and brash American she knew her parents would never approve of.


Too much partying and not enough studying during his sophomore year of college had Tommy Blackburn’s parents desperate to get the future heir of the family business to take life a little more seriously. What better way to do that than to send him to Ireland to work at Glenhaven, a massive thoroughbred and breeding operation run by a family friend. But Tommy’s wild ways followed him across the pond and he couldn’t help but pursue the beautiful redhead with fire in her eyes and a wild spirit just waiting to break free.


Tommy and Fiona fell hard and fast, a secret love built from stolen moments. Rife with drama and disapproval, they overcame it all to set the stage for a new generation of Blackburns to run their American Empire. Their epically romantic journey was anything but easy, but you can’t get to the present without The Past.


The Past: A Blackburn Novel is an opposites attract, long distance love story within the Bluegrass Empires series. All books in the series can be enjoyed as standalones. Review:

This is the story we didn't know we needed. I was obsessed with this story as soon as I started. Fiona goes through a lot in a year, a year that she met Tommy. Her heart knew that Tommy was what would make her life better. These two just got each other, Tommy really saw Fiona for who she was becoming as a woman. A lot of drama and crazy family situations but in the end, it all works for the better and their hearts.

Release with Review:: You, Me and Forever by Laura Pavlov

 


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:

This was an adorable start to this series. Montana is living in AK planning beautiful weddings when the Inn she uses is sold. She is upset with the new owner before she even meets him. Myles is a business man who goes after what he wants. These two were a hoot, the banter between them kept me giggling, and the romance from Myles is just heart melting. I honestly didn't know if we would get a HEA or not. The story is a little iffy around 80%, and my heart rate might have went up a little. I kinda freaked out when they both went their separate ways. I wasn't sure if love would win. It was a super sweet, special story.
