She’s the one woman I can never have. Now, I’m the only man who can keep her alive.

 

Ember

Being the daughter of a motorcycle club president means two things—power and protection.

But it also comes with one unbreakable rule: No biker touches the president's daughter and lives to tell about it.

Which means Hudson "Atom" Addams, the club’s brooding enforcer and the man I’ve loved half my life, will never be mine.

Until the Bratva rolls into town, demanding protection money.

Now, my father is forcing me to accept Atom's protection.

Close quarters. Late nights. And the one man I swore I’d never beg for again.

Atom

Five years ago, the woman of my dreams laid her heart at my feet.

I wanted to claim her. Keep her. Make her mine.

Instead, I let her go.

Butcher’s warning was clear—touch his daughter, and I’d be dead before sunrise.

So I buried my need for her and turned my back.

Now, the Bratva is making a play for her bar. And to make matters worse, she’s got a boyfriend.

I should walk away. I should let her go. But I’m not that strong.

Protecting her means breaking the rules. Claiming her means starting a war.

And I’ll burn this town to the ground before I let her slip away again.

Review::

I loved this story, its right up there with the first book, usually I have a favorite at this point but both are just amazing. The way the story is told held me until the very end, I didn't want to take the breaks I had to to adult. Atom is fighting a war with his heart. Ember doesn't know to keep holding on to the hope of love or to just settle. The whole story was beautifully told, I cannot wait for more.

AUTHOR BIO

Scarlett Cole is a contemporary romance author that 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 books!). 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 about 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 you any time.

She is represented by Louise Fury at The Fury Agency.

Release with Review:: Two Minutes for Holding by S.L. Sterling

Title: Two Minutes for Holding

Series: Vancouver Dominators Book #3

Author: S.L. Sterling

Genre: Sports Romance; Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Hockey Romance; Teammates Younger Sister; Surprise Pregnancy; Cinnamon Roll Hero; One Night Stand Revenge

Release Date: March 25, 2025

Cover Design: Thunderstruck Cover Design

Knox stood across from me, anger in his eyes, his right hand in a fist ready to hit me. In that moment, as I stared at him trying to figure out what to say before he hit me, I wished I’d never walked into that little dive bar.

Actually, that wasn’t true because that was the night that changed my life forever.

That was the night I saved Knox’s little sister, Peyton, from making what I was certain was a huge mistake I’d figure she’d regret for the rest of her life.

We all had a code among the players on the team. We all looked after one another, and that included family members. So, when I saw some guy hitting on Peyton, I stepped in. I pretended to be her boyfriend to get rid of the guy who’d been hitting on her and when she turned those big hazel eyes on me things didn’t stop there. I bought her drinks, let her vent out her frustrations about the fight she’d just had with her brother and then one thing led to another, and she ended up wrapped up in my sheets.

A few months later, the memory of her and that night remains fresh in my mind and soon she is all I can think about. Thankfully, I get to see her again at the season’s end barbeque. Armed with good intentions, that is when I find out everything is about to change in not only my life but hers, including my friendship with her brother.

The guys on the team had always told me love would hit me when I least expected it, either that or I’d get a girl in trouble. I just never believed they would both happen at the same time.

 

Review:

So Peyton's immaturity drove me nuts. Its like if you told her to go left for a bucket full of treasure, she'd go right and end up with a buck full of crap just to spite you. Knox was patient, kind, and wanted to take care of her. Peyton lies and makes up reality in her head to suit the situation. She gets herself into trouble over and over then gets upset when her family is like, here we go again. I did not like how harsh her brother was with her, especially since he is such a caring guy, but sometimes tough love wins. Thankfully Knox took his time with Peyton and made her realize that honesty and growing up is what needed to happen for a future. 

S.L. Sterling was born and raised in southern Ontario. She now lives in Northern Ontario Canada and is married to her best friend and soul mate and their two dogs. 

An avid reader all her life, S.L. Sterling dreamt of becoming an author. She decided to give writing a try after one of her favorite authors launched a course on how to write your novel. This course gave her the push she needed to put pen to paper and her debut novel "It Was Always You" was born. 

When S.L. Sterling isn't writing or plotting her next novel she can be found curled up with a cup of coffee, blanket and the newest romance novel from one of her favorite authors on her e-reader. Her favorite authors include Kendall Ryan, Vi Keeland, Penelope Ward, Lauren Blakely, Alessandra Torre and Willow Winters. 

In her spare time, she enjoys camping, hiking, sunny destinations, spending quality time with family and friends and of course reading.

Everleigh

One night changed my whole life.

After the truth about that night came out, I left, taking my broken heart with me.

I knew the past was waiting to slice me open again.

But I was left with no choice but to go back.

Feelings and old emotions are like dandelions; no matter how many times you pull them out or try to get rid of them, they refuse to go away.

And he was that for me.

My everything until he was my nothing.

Brock

My father taught me about honor and integrity.

And in one split second, I ruined it all.

I lost the only dream I ever had and everything I ever wanted.

But I had no choice.

I tried to move on with my life.

I put all my focus on my daughter, never expecting to see the one woman I’d loved and lost.

They say time heals old wounds.

They were wrong.

Scars left from the past are easy to reopen.

I just hope I can survive the pain all over again.

Review:

So yea, it dropped and I read for the next 3 hours, didn't care about the house or any responsibilities, I just had to read this story. This series is just so good. We are taken back to that fateful night, where so many things happened and we are getting all the sides. Everleigh and Brock were actually a couple that night, totally in love, building a future. That accident, it changed people. I personally know how Everleigh feels in this story, as I also had an ex very quickly have a child with the new person in his life. It's a hard pill to swallow. I wasn't a big fan of the hate love making, like the quick, I hate you, but I am going to have unprotected sex with you even though you have been gone for 9 years, but the rest of the story, it was amazing. The relationship built and the communication, finding one another and figuring out what happened and what was going through their minds during that tragic time, it was emotional. Loved it. 

Meet Natasha Madison:

When her nose isn’t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she’s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It’s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn’t listen to her…

Release with Review:: FORMULA CHANCE by Sawyer Bennett

 

FORMULA CHANCE 

Sawyer Bennett

Release Date: March 11 

Blurb:

In the second book of New York Times Bestselling Author Sawyer Bennett’s Race Fever series, she turns up the heat when a familiar name looks to shake up the world of formula racing. Buckle up for this heart stopping, second chance ride in Formula Chance.

Nash Sinclair abandoned the world of formula racing after a deadly crash left him injured and on a long road to recovery, both physically and mentally. Even prior to the crash Nash was healing in another way, putting together the pieces of a broken heart. They say time heals all wounds and when Brienne Norcross, owner of the newly acquired Titans Racing team approaches him about a job, he decides it might just be time to reclaim the life he once loved.

Bexley Toliver just joined the Titans’ team as their chief race strategy engineer. As a woman working in a male-centric sport, Bex is no stranger to a man’s eyes on her. Whether it’s in silent awe, not-so-silent disgust, or somewhere in between, Bexley has earned her way. But there is one set of eyes that Bex hasn’t seen in years and when Nash Sinclair walks into the conference room for a team meeting, old memories are hard to ignore. As the heat between them becomes all-consuming, they are unable to resist the temptation to fall once again.

Bex and Nash’s history is…complicated. Young love that turned into the promise of forever crashed and burned long before the race that ended Nash’s career. Years apart dulled the pain of their failed union but some things aren’t meant to be forgotten, no matter how hard one tries. When the same issues that broke them apart re-emerge and spin them full-speed toward a barricade, Bex and Nash need to make a decision—hit the brakes and walk away or race forward to their happily ever after.

Review:

I am a sucker for second changes and a man who knows he needs to take full advantage of it. This story was interesting, especially having a strong woman in a male dominated industry. The story was just right, not too fast, not an insta back together thing, but they took the time to get to know who each other is now after their time apart. It was another quick read from this author, as I couldn't put it down.

Returning to my small hometown was never part of the plan—but life has a way of forcing your hand.

I’m Gavin Wells—wealthy, divorced, and carrying enough baggage to fill this tiny town. My father’s funeral should’ve been a quick in-and-out, but nothing about coming home is ever that simple. Especially when it means facing her.

Lena Marshall—my brother’s widow, the girl I once loved, and the one I’ve never really let go. Seeing her again stirs up feelings we both thought we’d buried. But with the past comes secrets, and my family’s skeletons are clawing their way out, threatening to shatter Lena’s trust—and her heart—all over again.

Walking away would be easier. Safer. But I’ve spent too long running from my demons. Now, I have to prove I’m not the man who runs, but the one who fights—for her, for us, and for the second chance we both deserve.
