Release with Review:: Lucky Laces by Elise Faber

LUCKY LACES

Elise Faber

Release Date: September 29

One moment captured on a jumbotron changed my life.

One glance at that screen and…I was Coldplayed.

My fiancé getting caught canoodling on national TV was not on my bingo card for my first season of coaching the NHL’s Oakland Eagles.

Neither was falling for a hockey player on my roster.

I’m not in the market for love, not after being humiliated, and I’m certainly not going to date one of my own players.

Only…the universe keeps pushing us together and every moment I spend with Hudson means my attraction to him grows…until I can’t seem to stay away.

And then I find out he’s playing the long game—

Because he has absolutely no intention of letting me go.

Review:

I liked the story line however I didn't connect with these people like I usually with this authors people. I usually fall in love and read too fast. This story was read a little slower but I did enjoy the connection. Diana is finding her way being a woman in a male dominated sport. Hudson is a great player who got lucky enough to get locked in a room with a beautiful woman. These two really did enjoy each other and the journey was fun to be on with them.

ONLY FOR TONIGHT

Natasha Madison

Release Date: September 12

Blurb:

When one night changes everything.

Ariella

The last time I saw him, I’d just turned eighteen.

Six years later we’re face-to-face again.

Neither of us wanted the night to end.

The next morning, we made a pact.

Each of us going our separate ways.

Until two pink lines changed everything.

 

Jaxon

Life was going my way.

Hockey. Family. All of it.

Until…I saw her.

She was different now. 

One thing led to another and we got carried away.

It was supposed to be one night. 

Our secret.

Then she’s at my door with news that rocks my world.     

I’m going to be a dad.

Review:
Ok, how in the world does she always get better?!? This 2nd generation story is just what the doctor ordered! Jaxon and Ariella are both big personalities in their parents stories. We meet them again, all grown up, and doing life. They are both successful, Jaxon following in his dads footsteps becoming a hockey legend and Ariella working with her mom marketing within the hockey world. Their story seemed quick and full of love. Jaxon doesn't bat an eye when she comes to him and needs his support. These two really just held my heart and I loved watching them grow as a couple. Jaxon gives us the alpha strong man, while also just being a teddy bear. Seeing some of our favorites from prior books is also a perk of reading about our second generation. I hope to see so much more from our favorites families.

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:: Boarding Pass by Kaylene Winter

BOARDING PASS

Kaylene Winter

Release Date: September 5

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

Love wasn’t on the itinerary. He crashed the trip.

I’m in Paris with an offer for a career-making solo photography exhibit.

I should be floating on champagne and designer euphoria.

Instead, I’m single and alone at a Tom Selleck-themed wine bar, wondering if thirty-two is too young to start over.

Then he walks in.

Messy hair, leather jacket, a smile I feel in places I haven’t for years.

One accidental wine spill and soul-shaking kiss later…

I’m about to make the most impulsive decision of my life.

I sold my company for freedom, not to get tied down.

Working like a fool is all I’ve ever known.

I need a hard reset. No expectations. No itinerary. Just a one-way ticket to Paris and a suitcase full of unresolved baggage.

Then I see her.

A knockout with wine-stained lips and eyes that could undo a man.

Our connection is instant, magical, impossible to ignore.

I didn’t come here to fall in love.

But I’m starting to think Paris had other plans.

Boarding Pass is a full-throttle, no-holds-barred romance, perfect if you love dirty talk in French bars, sunrise sex in five-star suites, and the kind of love that doesn’t ask permission.

Release with Review:: Married to Number Twenty-Two By Elise Faber

                                           MARRIED TO NUMBER TWENTY-TWO

                                                                          Elise Faber

                                                                     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.
