Pro footballer Mike Vinceton desperately wants to get away before the Comets’ new season begins.

Lucky for him the tropical destination he chooses turns out to be perfect.

Not only does he find himself rested and refreshed, but he just met the most tantalizing woman. Her name is Lexi, and their connection is insane.

Too bad their time is cut short—before Mike can learn her last name . . . or where she lives.

Alas, such is life.

Resigned that he’ll never see Lexi again, Mike returns to Ohio to head off to training camp. But what he doesn’t know is he’s about to run into her again, in a most unexpected place.

See, Lexi is the Comets’ owner’s daughter. And though her dad would love for her to take more of an interest in the team, that definitely doesn’t include her dating a player.

Hell no!

Cue the sneaking around . . . and Mike and Lexi praying her dad doesn’t find out.

Hard Count is the fifth novel in the bestselling Men of Fall football romance series and can be read as a standalone.

L.P. Dover, the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author who brought you the tantalizing Gloves Off series, presents Gloves Off – Next Generation. This brand-new saga of interconnected standalones unites new characters with beloved originals in dark and sexy stories laced with suspense!

Fame. Money. Status. An infinite number of women standing ringside in hopes of one night with him. These are all the things Carter Reynolds loves about being MMA royalty. As a UFC Heavyweight champion, and the son of the illustrious Matt Reynolds, Carter thinks he has everything he could ever want.

Until he comes face to face with Emma Jameson—the one who got away. The pair are bonded by a secret from their past, one that none in their inner circle can ever know about…

Thanks to her father, Emma is no stranger to the MMA world. UFC Middleweight champion, Ryley Jameson, is known far and wide for his scandalous antics in and out of the ring. His fame put her in the spotlight at a very early age. It even led to her lucrative modeling career and the opportunity for her to travel the world. Now Emma is back with the family of fighters she left behind and quickly discovers a darkness that has wriggled its way into the MMA fold.

Someone demands retribution for the sins of the past, and they’ve chosen to make Emma their first target. Determined to keep her safe, Carter will do whatever it takes to protect her, even if that means putting his life on the line.

As hidden truths are revealed, Carter and Emma find that no one in their circle is safe… and this is only the beginning

No cheating. No cliffhangers. Just hot, dirty-talking fighters who want to take you down to the mat.

Review:

Carter and Emma took us right back to the originals. They were sexy and fun. Carter was all man and ready to take care of what he perceived as his, yes Emma has been his since they were teenagers. He wanted to protect her and he so while being so hot. I loved these two together and cannot wait for more. 

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author L. P. Dover is a southern belle living in North Carolina with her husband and two beautiful girls. Everything’s sweeter in the South has always been her mantra and she lives by it, whether it’s with her writing or in her everyday life. Maybe that’s why she’s seriously addicted to chocolate.

Dover has written countless novels in several different genres, including a children’s book with her daughter. Her favorite to write is romantic suspense, but she’s also found a passion in romantic comedy. She loves to make people laugh which is why you’ll never see her without a smile on her face.

Review:

This story was sweet. There wasn't any major issue, there was no scorn ex-wife, and it was just sweet. These two just fell into each other and it worked. They were adorable together, Avery jumped right in to help with his teenage daughter. They became a family before Ryker even knew it. It was just a wonderful easy sweet story.

Release with Review:: Married to the Tight End by Carina Rose

 Release Date: May 17

Have you ever felt as though you were having an out-of-body experience? An ethereal feeling that you were floating in the atmosphere looking down on a situation? If not, let me tell you, it wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. 

Imagine you were at your best friend’s engagement party in Vegas. You were super excited because you were the maid of honor and the best man was the hottest football player you’d ever seen. Even this guy’s position as tight end was appropriate for his, well . . . tight end. 

Anyway, there was something about his cocky attitude that ruffled your feathers and turned you on at the same time. Maybe it was the way he challenged you or because women seemed to flock to the gorgeous man. But according to him, he only had eyes for you. It didn’t matter if he was kidding or not, because you weren’t in the market for a serious relationship. 

Then, for some reason, you engaged in a drinking game. Because why not, right? You were in Vegas after all. Well, let me tell you why not, because the next morning you noticed a silver band on your left ring finger. And adding salt to that tequila-induced wound, there was one on his too. 

Yes, you read that right. Me, Alexa Barton, preferably always the bridesmaid and never the bride, married the uber-sexy, and let’s not forget cocky, football player, Jackson Cartwright. 

I was a cliché. A married cliché. Whose “husband” wasn’t in a hurry to get an annulment and vowed to prove that we were meant to be together.

Review:

These two were frustrating together. They end up married after one drunken night and Jackson refuses to divorce. He refuses to give up. Alexa had one foot out the door the whole time, always waiting for Jackson to leave. It was an incredible story and it held me to the end. I kept waiting for the author to tell us 'gotcha' they aren't going to make it. It was an emotional well written story with those sweet friends of theirs. 

Meet Carina Rose

Carina loves everything about romance. To her, it’s the little things that matter. 

She also believes in insta-love, since she knew her husband was the one the first day she met him.

When it comes to books, she uses them as an escape from reality. . . . to get swept away. Carina hopes her words do the same for her readers.

She’s a mother and wife and loves spending time with her family. She enjoys meeting new people, traveling, reading, watching sports, and, of course, relaxing on a beach.

Carina looks forward to sharing more love stories in her future novels.

Release with Review: Wild About You by Rebecca Jenshak

Wild About You by Rebecca Jenshak is now live!

A month ago, I was a rookie with the best stats in the league. I was traveling the world, playing hockey, and making more money than I ever dreamed.

Then my sister showed up on my doorstep with nowhere else to go.

I don’t know the first thing about being responsible for a troubled teen, and the team jet isn’t exactly kid-friendly.

Enter Piper. My sister’s new teacher and nanny.

Smart, nurturing, and just as beautiful as I remember.

I fell in love with her four years ago and never stopped.

Too bad she hates my guts.

We need her.

And this time, I’m not letting her go.

Review:
Oh man Oh man what can I say about Tyler and Piper. They were hot off the cuff. Tyler is just a rookie, figuring out life and hockey. Piper is student teaching and dating someone. Who knew that life would throw these two kids back together and make them hash it all out. I loved watching Tyler grow, his relationship with his sister and his teammates. These two were wonderful together and figured out life.

Release with Review:: Hot Shot's Mistake by Gina Azzi

 Release Date: May 12

Tangling up with my new physical therapist, Mila Lewis, is a mistake. One I can’t seem to stop making.

 

When I sign with the Tennessee Thunderbolts, I have two goals: prove my injury hasn’t benched my career and get back to New York. 

But then, I meet Mila, the enigmatic therapist tasked with rehabbing my shoulder. 

With her long ponytail, professional demeanor, and girl-next-door look, Mila is nothing like my usual type. 

She’s better—a good girl with sad eyes and a tragic past our small-town loves to dissect.

With the entire town up in her business, our budding connection is far from simple. I’m not staying, and Mila will never leave.

Deep down, I know I should walk away and let her find the happily-ever-after she deserves.

But I can’t. Not without showing her that it could be me.

And that may be the biggest mistake of all.

Review:

Devon and Mila were a cute couple to get to know. They are bound together by an injury of Devon's and they get to know each other. Even though Mila isn't looking for a relationship with another athlete she can't deny her attraction to him. They were a fun couple who took care of each other. This series just gets better and better.
