My rating: 4 of 5 stars - Would Recommend to a Friend
I feel bad because work and life have made reading so hard lately that I didn’t get to spend the time with Tyler and Sabrina that I wanted to!
These characters are so sweet - I loved them together from the very beginning.
She’s plucky and brave and total girl goals for embracing what she loves and making it work. He’s an awesome Dad, hockey player, brother, and even manages a successful divorce/co parent relationship.
The slow burn between these two is well written and they are surrounded by an excellent supporting cast. One of the things I appreciate about Ms Blakely is that her series tie in together, but the connections don’t overwhelm the current story.
Add in some super cut scene stealing kids and kittens - and this is a winner of a read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars - Would Recommend to a Friend
I have been a Jill Shalvis fan for a long time and books like The Love Fix are an example of why!
I appreciate how real the characters here are! Lexi, Daisy, and Heath all have baggage and are flawed in ways that make them relatable.
I found myself invested in Lexi facing her struggles, rebuilding her relationships, and building something new.
For long time Shalvis fans, this is slightly different as Lexi is very much the center of the story. Heath is a wonderful leading man, but he is a gentler version than she usually writes.
This is definitely a feel good story!

The Way We Win ~ Tia Louise ~ Cover Reveal
Tia Louise has revealed the covers for The Way We Win!
Releasing July 17, 2025
Coach Bradford has a dirty little secret… and it’s not (just) me.
Jack Bradford is the oldest of the Bradford siblings, my best friend’s brother, and my son’s
football coach.
He’s six-two, dark hair, ocean-blue eyes, broad shoulders, and a square jaw that’s perpetually
flexed.
He’s a hero in our small town, and the gentle way he cares for his young daughter will melt
your… everything.
I’ve done my best to show my interest, even walking down the aisle on his arm four times (in
his younger siblings’ weddings).
Everyone in Newhope ships us, but he always keeps me at arm’s length.
I’d pretty much given up on landing this DILF, when an overbearing dad says my son is only QB-1
because I give the coach “special favors.” (I wish!)
Then my ex-con ex-husband starts threatening us, and the walls break.
Coach Jack shows up at my door, sleeps on my couch, and his fight disappears.
Being with him is beyond my wildest dreams. His secrets don’t scare me.
He’s everything I’ve ever wanted… and more.
Together, we’re a win, and at last I go from dirty little secret to dirty little wife.
(The Way We Win is a small-town, single dad, single mom, football romance with a HOT high
school football coach, a sexy librarian, Friday night lights, ALL the Bradford fun, SPICE, and a
touch of suspense. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and no third-act breakup.)

Teddy Hamilton & Brooke Bloomingdale narrate in duet!
About THE OVERTIME KISS:
Just what every bride dreams of—running straight from her cheating fiancé into the arms of a hot hockey star… and then getting hired as his kids’ nanny.
Tyler Falcon is protective, flirtatious…and frustratingly responsible. We almost did something reckless when he found me alone in my wedding dress, and I blurted out all the things I’d never truly experienced.
Now, the sexy single dad is saving me again with a job I desperately need—and a promise to never mention The Night of 1001 Confessions.
I live in his house. Take care of his kids. Pretend I don’t notice his heated gaze lingering on me after they fall asleep.
Until one night, the tension snaps.
Now we have a deal. Five lessons in seduction. No strings attached.
But he’s not just good in bed. He spoils me with thoughtful gifts and supports my dreams. For the first time, I feel like I belong.
Except…this was never meant to last. I’m his employee. He has kids to protect. And neither of us can afford to make a mistake.
The more nights we spend tangled up together though, the harder it is to pretend it’s just physical. Because I’m not only falling for my boss—I’m falling for the man whose kids have stolen my heart.
Tropes: single dad/nanny, runaway bride, forced proximity, spicy lessons, she's his daughter's skating coach, confession of all secrets, love notes, found family

READ THE EXCERPT:
Tyler
“Are you a troublemaker, Tyler?”
“Maybe I was. Back in the day,” I say.
Her lips shift in amusement. “Think you’ve still got it in you?”
“Those are fighting words.” I drum my fingers on the counter. “How about trouble in the form of a spicy margarita? Can you handle the heat?”
Her smile falters for just a second, as if I’d asked about more than a drink. “I don’t even know.”
Her blue eyes flicker with something deeper—with uncertainty, maybe, or a vulnerability she’s trying to hide. Or possibly…interest. Since for a moment her gaze lingers on me, roams over me, like she’s trying to figure something out.
Like what she wants me to do to her tonight?
What the f*&k?
That is not a thought I should be entertaining. Too bad my lust-struck mind is already running away with the image, imagining what could have been if she wasn’t wearing that damn ring. Not today, brain. Stand down.
“Let’s find out,” I say, as I resume the role of runaway-bride wingman. I change her order, and when the bartender returns with the margarita, we toast again, her with her cocktail, me with my lager, which—as Ike promised—is incredibly good.
“To the opposite of today.”
“The opposite,” she echoes, her gaze…curious. But I don’t want to read into it even though I want to read everything into it.

At the Edge of Surrender by A.L. Jackson ~ New Release
At the Edge of Surrender by A.L. Jackson is now live!
A surprise single dad, small town romantic suspense…
I’m the last guy on the planet who should be a dad. My life is chaos. My sins written dark and deep.
So, imagine my surprise when my doorbell rings and I open it to find the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen standing on the other side.
And she’s holding the hand of a little girl who looks just like me.
Emery tells me her sister, the child’s mother, is dead.
I feel like dirt since she’s a woman I can hardly remember, and it’s no wonder Emery doesn’t trust that I’m worthy of caring for her niece.
But I can’t turn my back, and I insist on raising Maci.
So, we strike a deal—she’ll stay with me for one month to ensure the little girl is safe.
Emery tries to hate me for who I am, but neither of us can resist the attraction that blazes between us.
One brush of her hand, and she has me on my knees.
One kiss, and I’m falling fast.
Soon, we find ourselves tangled in my sheets.
But when it’s discovered her sister’s death wasn’t accidental, the secret life I’ve been living collides with the past Emery has tried to keep hidden.
And when the fiends come back to finish the job they started, I’m in a race against time to save the two people who I’ve come to love most…
