Release with Review:: Forever Yours by Joslyn Westbrook

FOREVER YOURS

Joslyn Westbrook

Release Date: May 19

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

From Joslyn Westbrook comes a steamy age-gap romance that floats between coastal serenity and New York energy—blending sizzling chemistry, banter, and a fling that refuses to stay simple.

We agreed this would be temporary.

Neither of us expected forever.

My goal is pretty simple this summer: house-sit on the beach for three quiet months and mend what’s left of my heart before starting a new job in New York.

What I don’t need is Knox.

The slightly older guy next door who’s brooding, guarded, and way too tempting—with a scowl that could melt glass and abs that ought to come with a warning label.

But when a small predicament, plus one very awkward naked moment, pushes our “only neighbors” thing into unexpected territory, sparks become impossible to ignore.

So we lay down a few simple rules:

No last names. No numbers. No strings.

A flawless arrangement…for about five minutes.

What begins as a summer-only fling soon feels deeper and far more dangerous to our hearts.

Because once summer ends, walking away isn’t as easy as we’d promised.

And when fate throws us back together, nothing could have prepared me for what happens next.

Warning: Forever Yours is packed with kitten chaos, coastal-town shenanigans, big-city complications, and enough heat to make you reach for a fan.

Review:

I did not connect with these characters like I thought I would based on the blurb given. I really enjoyed the last few chapters, it all came together, and we really get to know these characters, their real personalities, their real lives, when they were on vacation, we really only got the surface level of them. I had not connected how they would come together after vacation but that was a pleasant surprise and I enjoyed the reconnect.

Release with Review:: Knocked Up by Number Ninety by Elise Faber

KNOCKED UP BY NUMBER NINETY

Elise Faber

Release Date: May 11

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

Having a baby wasn’t in my five-year plan.
Then again, neither was sleeping with a hockey player who hates my guts.

Star forward for the Grizzlies, Leo Wilson is my least favorite person on the planet.

Unfortunately, after a night of drinking and debauchery—on both our sides—we end up in bed together.

It was supposed to be one time—

Not a night punctuated by a lifetime of parental responsibility…and the slowly sinking feeling that I may have misjudged Leo.

That there may be more to him than the playboy persona.

That he may be everything I’ve ever dreamed of.

And that…I don’t think I can let him go.

Review:

I enjoyed this journey as Harper decides Leo or no Leo, this baby will be loved. Her past has defined her future and she wants her baby to be loved. Leo though, as much as he wants to hesitate and be there for Harper, he doesn't feel like he will be good enough for this baby. He steps up and they have time to get to know each other before the baby comes. The journey is lovely to watch and the growth with each of them was shown with maturity.

Release with Review:: Only for Her by Natasha Madison

 

ONLY FOR HER

Natasha Madison

Release Date: May 8 

Blurb:

Victoria

Being offered a job in a brand-new city wasn’t something I was planning on.

Neither was meeting him at a random hotel bar that same night.

We shared a drink, flirted, and then one thing led to another.

We exchanged first names, and I escaped the next morning with a quick goodbye.

I never expected to see him again.

I especially never expected him to come face-to-face with him at my brother’s house.

As the new coach of the team.

Zane

I was the youngest coach in the NHL.

I had to focus on one thing and one thing only.

My job.

It’s the only thing I had time for.

Until I came face-to-face with the stranger I thought I would never see again.

She’s off-limits in every sense of the word.

Not just because she’s younger than me.

She’s the sister to my star player.

Available in KU Review:

When Zane showed up to Jackson's house and Victoria was there, my mouth gaped open and out loud I said "SHUT UP" because yea even though I knew it was happening, I was just shocked and living in the moment. This story was amazing, these two had a hard journey to allow their feelings to come to the surface. Victoria was pushy, Zane tried to ignore all the feelings to not make any waves with the team. He for once doesn't want to focus on hockey, he wants to follow his heart but its just so hard for him. These two were so cute together, Zane was so protective, Victoria just wants to be loved. And oh yeah, Manning shows up, one of my favorites, I loved to see the protective papa bear show up.

You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips.

Release with Review:: Match Penalty by Teagan Hunter

                                       Match Penalty by Teagan Hunter is now live!

I have two goals this season:
1. Win the Cup with the Seattle Serpents.
2. Get my wife back.

I’ve always been the kind of guy who sticks to my vows. So when my wife asked for space, I let her walk away, hoping what we had built would be strong enough to withstand it.

When she shows up three years later in Seattle, smack dab in the middle of the best season the franchise has ever had, I’m torn between trying to figure out my marriage and not letting my teammates down.

I’ve never been one to shy away from a fight, and I refuse to start now. This time, though, it’s more than just a game on the line—it’s my marriage, and I refuse to call it quits.

MATCH PENALTY is a standalone hockey romance novel. It includes a marriage in trouble (angst), second chances, first loves, discovering yourself, a very grumpy hero falling first, plenty of “my wife” moments, found family vibes, absurd group chats with teammates, and a happy ending. There is no cheating in this book.

Review:

I am not always sold on already married couples that spend the entire story trying to work it out. This one almost hit the par. I loved Keller, he was grumpy for a very good reason, he was a husband without a wife. We got to see all of his emotions and follow him through a journey. I didn't see eye to eye with Chloe. I just couldn't connect with her reasonings and wants. I loved that they were able to reconnect. 

TEAGAN HUNTER is a Missouri-raised gal but currently lives in South Carolina with her Marine veteran husband, where she spends her days begging him for a cat. She survives off coffee, pizza, and sarcasm. When she's not writing, you can find her binge-watching various TV shows, especially Supernatural and One Tree Hill. She enjoys cold weather, buys more paperbacks than she'll ever read, and never says no to brownies.

My entire world collapses a week before my wedding.

My ex is not the man I thought he was, and I have the shiner to prove it.

I just know I feel safe in his arms, and he’s as different from my ex as can be—gentle, giving, spontaneous…

Planning to marry someone I thought I knew didn’t work, so why not marry a stranger?

But when his world gets rocked in the worst possible way, and he goes back on the promises he made to me on that beach, I have to choose between stability and the scariest thing that’s ever happened to me…for all the right reasons.

Lick It Up kicks off the Long Licks series. Grab this angsty, elopement with a rock star, age gap, spicy romance about two people finding themselves and love despite tragedy coming at them from every direction.

Review:

This story had a lot of potential but just didn't hit it for me. I liked the concept and the thinking of what it could have been. It just didn't click. Mal is older, hiding after a long tour to a private island. Saylor is running from her ex and his mess. It felt forced at times, like she really needed time on her own and as soon as she is single bam here is this guy sniffy around. It might be someone's favorite and I wish I could have connected with the characters more.

Release with Review:: Forever Laced by Elise Faber

FOREVER LACED

Elise Faber

Release Date: March 30

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

I don’t take risks.

Not with my heart—and certainly not with my daughter.

My life is about hockey and being a dad.

Love isn’t part of the plan.

Then I hire Finley to be my daughter’s nanny.

She’s supposed to be temporary. Someone to help me get through the chaos of the season.

Not someone who matters.

Only…she does.

She makes my daughter smile again. Laugh again. Somehow she makes our home feel like a home again.

I know I shouldn’t want her. Know I can’t afford to fall for her—not when she’s going to leave at the end of the season.

Only my heart doesn’t listen.

I find myself in too deep…and wondering if I can risk it all for another shot at forever.

Review:

I enjoyed this story. These two had so much chemistry and enjoyed each others company. When it came time to make a decision, the wrong one was made. My heart was pounding so hard at the end because it felt like we were all going through the heart ache. Everyone wants to be someone's first choice. Finally they work it all out and the hearts were put together.

Meet Elise Faber:

USA TODAY bestselling author, Elise Faber, loves chocolate, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and hockey (the order depending on the day and how well her team—the Sharks!—are playing). She and her husband also play as much hockey as they can squeeze into their schedules, so much so that their typical date night is spent on the ice. Elise changes her hair color more often than some people change their socks, loves sparkly things, and is the mom to two exuberant boys. She lives in Northern California.

Release with Review:: Only for Him by Natasha Madison

 

ONLY FOR HIM

Natasha Madison

Release Date: March 13

Blurb:

Nothing could prepare them for what was to come.

Kylie

I learned early in life that love isn’t just given, it’s earned.

Now I’ve decided love isn’t worth it.

At least that type of love.

Until him.

He was broken.

It was safe.

But then I went and did the unexpected. 

I fell in love with him, knowing he would never love me back.

Knox

I thought I had it all.

I was playing hockey in the NHL.

Three beautiful kids and a wife who loved me.

Until I walked in on her in bed with my brother-in-law.

Everything I thought I had was a lie.

She was everything I thought I didn’t want, and when I least expected it.

I just hope when I finally figure it out, I haven’t lost her for good.  Review:
These two were funny while also sweet. Knox is broken, coming off a horrible divorce with a difficult soon to be ex-wife. He automatically assumes Kylie is hitting on him, when he doesn't realize she is the sister of a teammate. Kylie is a very independent woman who has gone through a trauma filled childhood. These two have a one night stand, that turns into multiple nights together, until they are both missing each other and want to spend all their time together. It was adorable how Kyle kept fighting him, and Knox just kept fighting, he found out that maybe his ex-wife wasn't the person he should be with, maybe Kylie is who makes him whole. I couldn't put it down and loved seeing some of our other favorite couples.
