Title: Checked 
Series: Boston Terriers Hockey
Author: Jacob Chance
Genre: Sports Romance

They call him ‘Wilde Man’. Rumor has it he’s an animal on the ice and between the sheets.
Like the rest of the female population, I’ve been crushing on Clancy Wilde, the captain of Boston University’s hockey team, since the first time I saw him. Big, blond, and charming, he ticks all the boxes. 
When we find ourselves at a wedding, drunk and flirting, I know I can finally check this tattooed, bad boy, hockey player off my wish list.
One night is all it was meant to be, until I see two pink lines on the pregnancy test.
How did the notch on my belt turn into a ball and chain?

“Anytime Jacob Chance releases a novel I spare as much time as necessary to devour his words!” - Words We Love by Blog

Review:
I loved this story. I loved that these two had so much to figure out and they took their time. They weren't a couple, they weren't meant to have a future, and Clancy was supposed to be married to hockey. Who knew that one simple fun hot night would turn into a complicated and confusing 9 months? Jacob does such a great job of giving us all the emotions and making us feel both characters and how they are dealing with this chance of life. I loved the hook up until the lust turned to love. It was a very well told and very emotional story. 



Jacob Chance grew up in New England and still lives there today. He's a martial artist, a football fan, a practical joker and junk food lover.

A writer of sports romcoms and romantic suspense, he plans on providing you with many more stories.

Release with Review:: I Never Planned on You by Stefanie Jenkins





Title: I Never Planned on You
Series: I Never #1
Author: Stefanie Jenkins
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 22, 2019



Blurb

Dani had her entire life planned out by the time she was thirteen. She was going to marry the boy who stole her heart – her brother’s best friend – have a great life, and live happily ever after. Then tragedy struck and Dani had to bury those childhood dreams in a pine box along with the love of her young life.

The memory of what she lost haunted her until she disappeared into the night, leaving behind everyone, and everything she’d ever known.

Years later, she returns home to find everything has changed. When she meets Kyler, there is something about him that gets past the walls around her heart. Will she let fear control her, or will she let go of the past and learn to love again?





Review:
This book ripped my heart out. I felt every tear Dani shed. I wanted to hold her and tell her that it will get better. I loved Kyler, this easy going guy that loves his sisters. He had a special relationship with the women in his family and I believe that is exactly what he needed to give Dani a second chance. He was patient and kind when she needed a friend. He was aggressive and took control when she needed a man. This was a very good and easy read, through the unshed tears of course.

Release with Review:: The Dinger by Gigi Birtie


Title: The Dinger
Author: Gigi Birtie
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 12, 2019 Cover Design: Lee Ching at Under Cover Designs

Nash Dingmen aka ‘The Dinger’ didn’t earn his nickname by dominating the hockey rink. No, he’s notorious as the biggest seducer in hockey. It doesn’t help that he carries the sexy, mesmerizing exterior that causes sane women to drop their panties at the curve of his smirk. 


No Mr. Nice Guy. No girlfriends. No second date. 
Or any dates – it’s all between the sheets. 
After my first encounter with Nash Dingmen – I’d hoped I would never see his face again. It was the interview of a lifetime, a chance that it ended up with my dream shattered and becoming the next internet sensation – for all the wrong reasons. 
With my career all but gone, I am barricaded to the house to shy away from the jokes and jibes. Drowning in ice cream and Cheetos but it’s time to get back on my feet – and get my head in the game. One thing’s for damn sure, being his next conquest is not my game plan. My sister Charlie persists there’s got to be more than ‘The Dinger’ reputation precedes - and being a reporter, I’d have to say I’m not entirely against investigating what all the fuss is about…
When hurdle after hurdle comes my way, why does Nash always seem to be there?
Every nerve is screaming at me to run as fast as I can away from him … however, do I really want to? The temptation to play the game to see what the real scoop is beneath ‘The Dinger’ may be too strong to resist.



Review:
This was a good read. Kazzie is a good hearted woman, because I dont think I would have given Nash another look after his how he ran his mouth. However with insta-love sometimes you need to look past that and see the goodness in the man's heart. This one was a super quick read and kept you intrigued. 

As a writer and photographer for publication such as magazines, television and radio, I find it easy to write an article or a jingle, but I always longed to write a romance novel. To have a challenge that’s longer than five hundred words. To really dive deep into all emotions that one gets from reading a killer novel. I can only hope I’m doing it right so that people will enjoy and feel the raw grit that I draw from in my personal experiences, that I indeed put into my work.

Though I’m starting this adventure late in my career I’m confident that this has always been the right choice and I’m thankful I finally grew a pair to make it happen. Once I started there was no stopping this crazy train! 

A few tidbits about myself is I love classic cars, motorcycles, going on crazy motorcycle runs, photography, writing and my puppy Bowie Brexlee Birtie, my dude of fifteen years, Mr Birtie who is a huge supporter of all the crazy things I get into, and of course I love reading romance novels!! Definitely not in that order. My girl Bowie is my number one above all things. She listens to all my book ideas, which basically makes her my writing partner. This is just some of what makes me who I am and I hope we all can form a rad writer/reader relationship!
