Blurb:

I’m about to face off in the most important game of my life, and there isn’t an arena in sight.

The stakes are high, and the prize? The guarded heart of Antonia Ricci, a headstrong beauty who's as enchanting as she is elusive.

As the star right winger for the Las Vegas Venom, I'm no stranger to a challenge, but when the team owner ropes us into a publicity stunt, I'm in uncharted territory.

My fake romance with Toni should be an easy win—a neat PR goal for the Venom. But Toni's defenses are iron clad, and my usual moves aren’t scoring any points.

Every simmering glance exchanged under the neon lights feels more real than the glitzy casino facades. As our charade begins to feel like something real, I start to question—could she be the one?

I’m going all in, ready to risk it all for a shot at my happily ever after. But this is Vegas, where the stakes are high, and the biggest jackpot of all is falling head over skates for the woman of your dreams.

Can I win Toni’s heart before I run out of time, or will this fiery beauty leave me out in the cold?

Blurb:

He’s a happy bachelor with a simple life on his family’s ranch. She’s a single mother fleeing an abusive husband. Will love become the haven she needs or will her past destroy any chance for happiness.

Sammie

I didn’t mean to kill my husband. All I wanted was to escape his abuse and start a new life with my daughter as far away from him as possible. But in one life altering second I had to decide—run or stay and face his family and a possible murder conviction.

I ran.

What else could I do? I’m all my daughter has in this world. I’ll do anything to make sure she’s safe.

My path led me to a new identity, a job and rented room at the Crescent Moon Ranch. Even though I don’t deserve it, the Moon family welcomes me into their loving world. Especially the youngest son, Thad Moon. He’s everything a woman could want—smart, kind, handsome. If only I could tell him the truth about who I really am. But doing so would expose him and his family to danger and scandal. And the last thing I want to do is hurt another family.

Thad

Sammie Scott has secrets. She’s clearly running from someone dangerous. I’m not even sure of her true identity. Regardless, I’ve fallen for her and her little girl. All I want is to keep them safe and give them the life they deserve. But until I know who she really is and what she’s so afraid of, there’s no hope for an honest, loving relationship.

Tess Thompson returns with the fourth installment of her beloved clean-and-wholesome Crescent Moon Ranch series. In this friends-to-lovers, small-town romance, the youngest Moon brother will do anything to protect the woman he loves, even if it means risking his own life.

Blurb:

I kept my nose clean. Bad publicity was the last thing you wanted, and I’d had my share since my last breakup went public. We’d also just lost our last five games.


The boys and I decided to head to the islands for a little R&R. I’d never been so happy for a break. That was where I saw her. She didn’t seem to recognize me, which made it better, so I made my move. We didn’t exchange names or numbers. We shared one carefree night, that was all I wanted and that was all it was supposed to be.


A few months later, regret from that night had almost eaten away at me. I hadn’t been able to get her out of my mind. I wouldn’t say I fell in love with her, or maybe I did. All I knew was that night was the closest I’d ever come to insta-love and I wanted more but we’d had our fun. Yet, I was still mentally kicking myself for at least not getting her name.


We're about to head into the playoffs when I return home and that is when the universe decides to bring us back together in one of the worst places ever. Only this time won’t be like the last, I decide I won’t let her slip through my fingers. This time, I’ve promised myself nothing, and all bets are off.

Book Review: Snowed (A Sierra Hockey Novella) by Elise Faber

 

Blurb

My ex-boyfriend cheated on me with my best friend.

I went to the bathroom, came back, and…they were right there, sucking face in the middle of the bar like they didn’t have a care in the world.
And—
What could I do with that?
What I always do, I suppose.
Run.
Only this time I end up running straight into the arms of a big, gorgeous, bearded hockey player.
Leo West saves me from the floor of the bar.
But he also saves me from the boring loneliness of my life.
The only question is if he’s going to let me save him right back.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

This was a quick and fun read. I enjoyed Jolie and Leo's journey. Jolie's started off on a bad note, but Leo helped turn it around. Despite past hurts and mistrust, they came to care about each other quickly and deeply. I loved Jolie and how she trusted Leo after only a short bit. Leo was so cute in getting Jolie to come to his games on her own and with the WAGs. A good story, and I highly recommend.

Book Review: Sea Glass and Fireflies by Kate Ellington

 

Blurb

Elsie Hayward moves into her uncle's seaside estate on what should have been her wedding day. All she wants is peace and quiet, and to escape the guilt that's haunted her since her betrothed was lost at sea.

Any hope of tranquility is dashed, however, when Charles Rockingham arrives in town. A lifetime ago they'd been best friends and almost more. If there's one person she can't hide her feelings from, it's him.

Charles hasn't received a letter from Elsie in over a year. He returns home hoping to recapture the deep bond they once shared, but shadows of the past stand between them.

One last secret must be revealed before they can find their way back to each other.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars - 

This was a good read. Elsie lost her fiance, found a quiet place to grieve, and ran into her oldest best friend, Charles. Her emotions were up and down, guilt over some of her feelings regarding Gabriel, and realizing that she had always loved Charles. Misunderstandings and secrets pulled them apart before things were revealed. I appreciated Elsie's mourning, doubts, and love, and was glad that she came to her senses. Charles was so protective and caring, and then hurt when he thought that Elsie was pulling away from him. They belonged together, and I enjoyed their journey.

Book Review: Grim (Satan's Fury MC: Little Rock #1) by L. Wilder

 

Blurb:

New York Times and USA Today Best Seller L. Wilder brings readers a new Satan's Fury series that is guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat.


I lived with one foot on the ground and one in the grave.
It’s expected when you’re the enforcer of a club like Satan’s Fury.

Death was always at your heels.
Waiting.
Watching.
Tormenting.

Death could come for me.
I didn’t care.
My life was nothing without my brothers.
So, I did whatever it took to protect them.

I waited.
I watched.
I tormented, tortured, and 
executed.

And in the end, the trail of blood led me to her.

She and her young daughter had fallen on hard times.
I had a hand in that, so I offered them a place to stay.
It was supposed to be temporary.
But when they turned my world upside down, there was no going back.


Take a foul-mouthed, protective biker and a beautiful damsel in distress, throw in a couple strippers, a show down with a ruthless gang, an adorable daughter, some tattoos and booboos, a run in with the cartel, and brothers who always have your back, and you have Grim-- L. Wilder's version of Beauty and the Beast.

This is a full-length, standalone novel that is intended for mature audiences only. Contains no cheating and a swoon-worthy HEA.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

Hard to put down. I appreciated the slow build between Jenna and Grim. Grim was so protective even when he did not understand truly why. I loved his restraint in reining in his lust, not wanting to hurt himself or Jenna. He was quite enamored of her daughter from the start. Jenna was a wonderful mother, and I enjoyed how maturely she explained things to her daughter and in not hiding the truth of their situation. With danger, violence, and more surrounding them, they managed to find a way forward. I really loved this story.

As VP of the Hell’s Handlers Motorcycle club, Ty is no stranger to complications, but nothing could have prepared him for Kelsie. Months ago, he and his club were part of a daring rescue that pulled her from the depths of a human trafficking nightmare. She emerged haunted by her ordeal and inexplicably drawn to only one man—Ty. Though she fled the help his club offered, destiny brings her back into the protective orbit of the Hell’s Handlers.


Now, Kelsie is grappling with shadows that refuse to leave her side. Still terrified of the world and haunted by her past, she finds solace in the strength of Ty’s presence. As their bond deepens, parts of Kelsie she thought lost resurface. But as hope starts to bloom, the past crashes into her life.


Kelsie’s estranged, notorious family reemerges, bringing a storm of danger and drama that threatens to unravel everything she’s worked for. Ty and Kelsie must navigate the turbulence of her haunting past, a twenty-year age difference, and the fragile threads of trust they’ve just begun to weave.


With so many forces pulling at the seams of their budding relationship, the question isn't only whether love can triumph but also whether they can survive long enough to find out. In a world where trust is as precious as life itself, can Ty and Kelsie hold on to each other and defeat the demons—both within and from their enemies?
