                                                                     Release Date: July 21

I signed the contract.
I just didn't expect her to show up ten years later, ready to cash it in.

Recently traded to the Grizzlies, I’m struggling to find my place on the team. I’ve changed coasts, moved away from my best friend, from the Breakers who became family, and…I’m alone.

And it’s my birthday.

A fact that everyone around me seems to have forgotten.

Until a knock at the door proves differently.

I was in love with Luna when I was a teenager, and now she's on my doorstep, vivacious and beautiful and…holding a piece of paper I barely remember.

One that says we’ll get married…

And I think I’m just insane enough to say yes.

Married to Twenty-Two is the first book in the brand new Grizzlies Hockey series. If you love big, bearded hockey players who fall hard and fast for the women they love, this series is for you!

Review:

Aidan and Luna's story is cute, they loved each other when they were younger but life happens and soon 10 years has passed. Aidan cannot believe his eyes when Luna shows up at his door. A reminder of a promise and a secret wish from Luna that she can complete the task  in her grandmothers will. She needs to finish up the requirement to gain control of the company so she can make a difference. These two don't miss a beat and soon are back in step with each other. It was a sweet story and I couldn't put it down.

Release with Review:: Forgotten Dreams by Natasha Madison

 

FORGOTTEN DREAMS

Natasha Madison

Release Date: July 18 

Blurb:

Sierra

Who do you think you are?

I thought I knew until I accidentally discovered my adoring parents' biggest secret on my twenty-fifth birthday.

I am adopted.

Part of me is missing, and I set out to find it.

Trying to figure out the past piece by piece, I bought a little fixer-upper in the small town I was given up in.

Old lies will come out. Secrets that everyone is trying to keep buried. 

Who am I really?

Caleb

When I needed a clean slate, I moved to Montgavin to start my own construction firm. 

Slowly, I built my crew after my success with the bakery renovation.

When the newcomer in town wants to restore her house to its former glory, I trust no one but myself.

Sierra looks lost, slowly putting her life together, with her dedicated room complete with a whiteboard.

Something calls to me to protect her and her secrets.

Someone wants her out of the town.

But now they have to get through me. Review:

Oh how I love everything about these people and this little town. Caleb is adorable and as much as he kinda fights it, his pull towards Sierra can't be stopped. Sierra doesn't want to lean on anyone while she is going through this trauma at 25 years old, trying to figure out who she is and why she is now just learning where she came from. But Caleb becomes someone she leans on, someone she trusts, and someone she can talk through her troubles with. This was such a cute story.

Release with Review:: Bend The Pucking Rules by Rachel Leigh

 

Bend The Pucking Rules by Rachel Leigh is now live! Bend The Pucking Rules is the second book in the sexy and suspenseful Ice Lords Series. An Enemies to Lovers, Why-Choose, College Hockey Romance. I know too much and now, I’m paying the price. One secret shattered my world. Three boys wrecked my life. And one of them just might own my heart—if only he could remember. As Callan fights to piece together the memories we shared and the time we lost, I’m caught in the crossfire of rival teams, bitter betrayals, and players who would love nothing more than to watch me fall. Someone is out there. Whispering. Watching. Waiting. And if I want to survive, I’ll have to trust the very people who broke me. Aidric. Sebastian. Maybe even Callan Sebastian says he hates me. But hate doesn’t burn this hot. I see it in his eyes. I feel it every time he looks at me. I’m just not sure if his fire is meant to save me, or burn me. When Callan finally remembers, will it be enough to put us back together? Or will the bond I’m building with his best friend tear us all apart? They say you can’t have the best of both worlds. But I’m beginning to realize, the three of us were never meant to live by the rules. Review: Well this one took a while to read, only because it was so much, it was a little darker than I expected. As much as I enjoyed the story, there were moments that I just needed a break from, I say this was a success for the writer. This story had emotion, a wild ride, and a lot of suspense. The relationship between Avery and the guys is very complex and a little odd, but it works for her and them. It was an interesting and new perspective for me that took a little getting used to.  Download today or read for FREE with #kindleunlimited Amazon: http://mybook.to/btpr Add to Goodreads: http://bit.ly/btpr_gr

Release with Review:: Penn by Sawyer Bennett

PENN 

Sawyer Bennett

Release Date: July 15 

Blurb:

Penn Navarro is the best player in the league—unstoppable on the ice, untouchable off it. But the moment the game ends, so do the celebrations. Because no amount of goals, no number of wins, can silence the demons that haunt him.

Hockey is my life. It’s what I was born to do. That’s not ego talking, just fact—I’ve spent years honing my skills, earning my place among the elite. But talent doesn’t erase my mistakes, and no amount of success will make me forget the damage I’ve done. It’s why I keep my distance from my teammates, because if you never let anyone in, you’ll never get hurt. Or those are the lies that I tell myself.

Mila Brennan represents the darkest parts of my history. She’s a ghost I’ve tried to bury, the reminder of everything I’ve lost. When she shows up in Pittsburgh looking for me, I know nothing good will come of it, because our sins don’t stay forgotten. They fester, waiting for the perfect moment to strike, and Mila’s arrival means my time is up.

The past isn’t just knocking at my door—it’s kicking it down, crumbling all the walls I’ve built around myself in the process. And when the danger comes for us both, I’m forced to do the one thing I swore I never would. Let her in.

Review:

Soooo this one hit a little hard. The build up to this story was amazing, I couldn't wait for this story. Penn's side yes I loved, but I didn't connect with Mila. Not sure really why but she just didn't connect with me. The whole story is a great lesson, people are mean, people don't treat each other right, and things happen. I love this group of guys, I love that they rallied behind Penn even though he had been standoffish and really rude to this whole time. This group is so wonderful.

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.

Release with Review:: The Fire We Crave by S. Cole

 

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.

Review:

I loved the blurb, the story just wasn't my cup of tea. Loved the motorcycle club and the drama of them taking care of business. Quinn and Smoke though seemed rushed without a ton of feeling. It was just bend over and I am going to do you. I wanted more feelings more emotional connection. The whole story line behind her sister missing fizzled out and soon didn't matter to the storyline. I just didn't connect to these characters, and it happens but I know others would love them, they would love all the kink, and the motorcycle side of the story. I cannot wait for the next book, which the author gave us a wonderful preview for.

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.
