Release with Review:: Single Dad Dilemma by Karla Sorensen

 Single Dad Dilemma

by Karla Sorensen




A gruff, divorced NFL coach meets his match in an equally grumpy, commitment-phobic neighbor in this warm-hearted and witty romance about family, second chances, and overcoming the past.

You’d think it was the perfect setup: living next door to the grumpy single dad who needs my help with his troublemaking kids—just until football season is over. Swoony stuff, right?

You know who’s not swooning? Me.

I’m as grumpy as he is, and I’m fairly certain that for NFL Coach Barrett King, it was hate at first sight. It’s nothing I’ll lose sleep over because 1) the feeling is mutual, and 2) I’m not a people person. Just me and my dog, Larry, moving around when the mood strikes, is what I prefer.

Except I start getting attached. First to the kids. Then to their father. I don’t know why. He’s overbearing. His attempts at flirting are just growls and glares. But if I ever see that man smile…well, I might tear all his clothes off.

I don’t do forever. And Barrett—serious, thoughtful, sexier than he has any right to be—doesn’t do short term. We’re headed straight for disaster.

But if we're willing to take a risk, maybe this story won't end in heartbreak. Maybe what started as the perfect setup for two imperfect people just might end in love.


Review:
This is a story about learning to live the life you should instead of the life you think you need to. This story is about learning to trust yourself and others when you aren't sure life has anything good for you. Lily is a nomad, she doesn't feel settled in one spot, she has had multiple jobs, and lived in a many places. Barrett lives his life 15 minutes at a time, trying to stay above water while raising his 2 kids. It took a few chapters to peak my interest but once the author had these two grumpy souls cross paths, it was a wonderful story. Lily learns a lot about herself being neighbors with the Kings. I enjoyed watching Barrett start to get excited about life outside of his football team, when he unwound and was home, it was a sight. I cried, laughed, and had my mouth gaped open a little bit, these two will show you how much the heart can grow with the right person.

Review:
I enjoyed Gray and Faye's story, I loved the fact that he let his feelings be known and didn't shy away from them. I loved that she didn't fight too much and it happened as naturally as it can while Gray was going through his divorce. It was a cute story and I enjoyed all his teammates support for them while also getting to know more about shy Faye.

Release with Review:: Hold Me Tight by Jennifer Sucevic

 




Hold Me Tight by Jennifer Sucevic is now live!


A steamy single mom, enemies-to-lovers, best friend’s ex, pro hockey romance from USA Today and Amazon Top 26 bestselling author Jennifer Sucevic.

I swore I’d never fall for another hockey player.

Not after Zane. My ex and the father of my daughter.

But when I need a place to stay, River Thompson is the one who opens his door.
My ex’s teammate and best friend.
Completely off-limits.
The man who looks at me like I’ve always belonged to him.

There’s just one catch… I have to share his bed.

Living under the same roof makes it impossible to ignore the way he’s been quietly biding his time. He’s patient, protective, and determined to prove he’s not like the man who broke me. And the way he is with my daughter makes it even harder to guard my heart.

Every night I spend in his bed, the slow burn between us threatens to ignite.

Trusting River means risking not only my heart, but my daughter’s too.
The scariest part?

I’m starting to believe he might be worth it.

Hold Me Tight is a best friend’s ex, enemies-to-lovers, slow-burn pro hockey romance with a hero who’s been biding his time—and a heroine afraid to trust her heart to the wrong man again.

Review:
River has been waiting from afar while Callie heals from the hurt of her past relationship. He makes a bold move and decides he can't wait any longer. He moves quickly and takes advantage of her misfortune. Although Callie is worried, she allows River to help her and soon the feelings cannot be ignored. These two have a few challenges but soon their little family is happy and together.

Release with Review:: Love you, Mean It by Laura Pavlov

 

Love You, Mean It by Laura Pavlov is now live!


From USA Today bestselling author Laura Pavlov comes a story about found family and the power of acceptance, all wrapped up in a sizzling romance set in the frozen north.

My new landlord’s a real hard-ass. And I can’t keep my hands off him.

Charlie Huxley’s the best—and grumpiest—general contractor in Blushing, Alaska. He built the venue for the wedding-planning business my bestie and I share. After I accidentally flood my home, he offers me his guesthouse while he handles the repairs. But when he starts to take charge, I feel myself losing control.

Unable to resist, we casually hook up. We both know once will never be enough.

Between us, we carry plenty of baggage. I’ve got the absent father, drunk mother, and estranged sister. He grew up in foster care and is single-handedly raising a daughter whose mom visits just once a year.

But Charlie makes me feel like I belong. And for the first time ever, I picture myself with a real family.

Before I go all in, I need to learn to set some boundaries. Question is: Am I strong enough?

Review:

I enjoyed this grumpy relationship that turned to more. These two weren't looking for anything, they were focused on the lives they had built, and then here comes fate. They were thrown into each other's lives. I loved watching Violet grow and learn. She was a very independent woman with underlining insecurities. Charlie helped her find herself and become more confident. These two really needed each other and became such a cute couple.
