Book Blurb:

Jett Olsson isn’t looking for anything serious and she’s not looking for anything at all, so why does it seem so hard to keep it professional? I love my life—the thrill of being on the ice as part of the Arizona Vengeance, the rush of winning, the adoration of the fans. And if that adoration means I don’t have to spend the night alone, well even better. I’m content being single and always ready to mingle. But the day Emory Holland walks into a Vengeance team meeting my attention is caught like never before. I can tell right away she’s full of smarts and sass, and the fact that she’s hot as hell sure doesn’t hurt either. She immediately shuts down my advances, so I opt for the road less traveled—straight to the friend zone. My approach works like a charm, and when she invites me into her bed for a no-strings, friends-with-benefits arrangement, I vow to give her everything I have. She’s been hurt before, and if I’m able to help her heal while giving her a spectacularly satisfying time *pats self on back*, then I’ll be happy. Or at least that’s the lie I keep telling myself as the time ticks down on the final buzzer of our “relationship”. Now the real question is, can I score the winning goal in a game neither of us realized we were playing?

Review Copy Provided by Author


I am so glad to be back with the Arizona Vengeance!
In this installment, we get to spend time with right winger Jett and Emory (a new employee in charge of the team’s social media)

Ms Bennett did an excellent job of crafting this friends to lovers story. It was so sweet to see Jett and Emory (along with her daughter and sister) slip into this budding relationship that semi surprised both of them as it went along.

This is a book that also did some heavy lifting in terms of Vengeance world building. Select secondary characters made larger appearance in preparation for them to have books soon (hopefully). It speaks to the author’s attention to detail that this world building felt organic to the story and didn’t detract from the Jett/Emory storyline.

I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to see what happens next for this team!

Trouble by Tia Louise ~ New Release & Review



A super-hot, enemies-to-lovers, billionaire romance 
from USA Today bestselling author Tia Louise.




Legend has it, the man you kiss at a wedding is the man you'll marry.
In my case, it's nothing but trouble.


Spencer Carrollton is a dark-haired, hazel-eyed beast.
When I collided with him at my cousin's wedding, I wasn't looking for love.
But his naughty eyes flashed, his full lips curled into a knowing smile, and I should have run.
I didn't.
I kissed him instead.

Then he gave me a job when I needed it the most.
I never get involved with clients, but Spencer Carrollton is wickedly handsome in a bespoke suit.
He's devastatingly sexy out of it.
He's possessive, demanding, and the best night I've ever had.

He's an arrogant billionaire, who thinks I'll fall at his feet, but I'm not going down that road again.
Then he pulls me out of danger and insists I move in with him until it's safe.
As the nights pass and we grow closer, I know I'm losing this fight.
Spencer Carrollton always gets what he wants.
The trouble is, he wants me.

3.5 stars - Worth a Reader's Time

Review Copy Provided by Author


In Trouble, Tia Louise takes us back to South Carolina with Joselyn (a previously seen secondary character) as she tries to figure her life out. Spencer is her unlikely love interest/reluctant knight in shining armor.

I liked both of these characters and watching them try to figure out what they are looking for out of life. Joselyn is struggling a bit with previous bad choices, but I still appreciated her strong stance on what she considered right. Spencer had a much larger emotional evolution and it was entertaining to watch him fight that process.

Ms Louise crafted an excellent dynamic for these two characters and the story was a bit unexpected. This story is connected to previous books, but is definitely a stand alone read. If you are a loyal Louise follower, you will be excited to see what several previous main characters are up to now. Don’t worry if you aren’t caught up yet, you don’t need to read the previous stories to appreciate Sly and her Mr Freeze.

From USA Today bestsellers Ava Harrison and Vanessa Fewings comes the lush world of New Orleans filled with twists, turns, deceit and seduction.



Anya:
My father was ruthless.
Cold. Calculated. Formidable.
Every decision. Every step. Every thought. Every breath he controlled.
I never thought anyone could despise him as much as I did.
I was wrong. So wrong.
There was one person.
He wanted revenge. I was the willing pawn.
He was dangerous, beautiful, broken, and most of all a way to get back at my father.
But there’s one thing I didn’t count on . . .
Falling in love.

Cassius:
Stephen Glassman is my sworn enemy.
And so, I felt no guilt as I took his most valuable possession.
His darling daughter.
Anya’s suffering is my new favorite pastime.
My promise to kill her one day? Inevitable.
She’s mine now. Mine to control. Mine to seduce. Mine to own.
Who knew revenge would be this sweet?

3.5 stars - Worth a Reader's Time

Review Copy Provided by Author


The Ravishing is a slightly dark, redemption story focusing on Cassius and Anya.

On the surface, this is a story that I liked. It was easy to understand Cassius’ motivation and I appreciated his evolution as the story went on. Anya was a little harder for me to get a read on and it took me longer to embrace her as a character to root for. The intrigue elements of the story were entertaining and kept me on my toes as things progressed.

The more time I spent reading and thinking about The Ravishing, there were a couple of things that seemed inconsistent. The biggest of these was Anya herself. Her age and backstory were part of it. With the situation she was in, I had a hard time completely buying the maturity she displayed.

The inconsistency things may have been an issue caused by the fact that this was written by a duo vs a single author. Some of these were a bit distracting, but didn’t detract from the overall appreciation of Cassius and Anya’s evolution from enemies to lovers. The secondary cast was small, but interesting. There were a couple of pieces of that puzzle that I’d be curious to learn more about.

Review Round Up ~ July 16



New Release:


Crazy in Love: Enemies to Lovers, Second Chance RomanceCrazy in Love: Enemies to Lovers, Second Chance Romance by S.L. Scott

My rating: 4 of 5 stars - Would Recommend to a Friend

Review Copy Provided by Author

In Never Got Over You, SL Scott introduced us to a great group of characters made up of friends and the friends that are the family we choose. In Crazy In Love, the story focuses on the best friends we've met before - Tatum and Harrison. These two met the same night Nick and Natalie (the couple in Never Got Over You) met, but much like Nick and Natalie, the timing wasn't meant to be.

Fast forward several years and we have a chance to get to know these two a little better. Tatum is a character that I really just wanted to wrap up in a hug. She has such a tough shell, but the soft gooey center makes it impossible not to like her and root for her to get out of her own way. Harrison is the definition of a good guy. He was a great offset to Tatum and I appreciated how he was willing to learn about her and work around her issues.

Ms Scott walked a fine line with these two. There is a yo yo effect that could have very easily crossed into annoying, but her strength as a story teller made sure that each swing helped propel some part of the story forward. I truly enjoyed seeing these two try to figure out where the future was taking them.

This is a stand alone book - Tatum and Harrison's story is very much it's own tale, but loyal Scott readers will be glad to see previous main characters appear to get updates on where they are now. We also get a few glimpses of the Decker siblings and I wonder if maybe there are hints for future books?

To Sir, with LoveTo Sir, with Love by Lauren Layne

My rating: 4 of 5 stars - Would Recommend to a Friend

Review Copy Provided by Publisher via Net Galley

If you enjoyed the 90s Meg Ryan movie, You’ve Got Mail, you will love the updated take in To Sir With Love.

Ms Layne does an excellent job of crafting likeable characters with Gracie and Sebastian plus an entertaining supporting cast. It was a pleasure to watch things evolve from Gracie’s point of view.

Full of good life lessons, Gracie shows us the importance of being true to yourself and that sometimes to get the ending you want, you have to take control of your story.

A Duke in Time (The Widow Rules #1)A Duke in Time by Janna MacGregor

My rating: 4 of 5 stars - Would Recommend to a Friend

Review Copy Provided by Publisher via Net Galley

Are you ready to meet a new group of strong historical heroines and the men who win their hearts? Duke in Time is the first book of a new series and introduces us the widows of Lord Meriweather.

This book installment focuses on Katherine (Kat) and her interactions with Christian, the elder brother of her former husband.

I enjoyed watching these two together as they navigated the many hurdles thrown in their way by Meri and the way he handles his affairs. The secondary cast was also interesting and the author did an excellent job of world building while also letting the relationship between our main characters grow. I am looking forward to seeing what comes next!

The Brazen by Willa Nash ~ New Release and Review

The Brazen by Willa Nash is now live!

Kerrigan Hale's personal life is about as exciting as a bucket of tar. With hard work and hustle as her steadfast companions, who needs romance or adventure? Her empire in Calamity, Montana, isn't going to build itself.
For years, her mentor--and investor--helped make her dreams come true. Until his unexpected death put her fate in his grandson's hands. A brazen billionaire, he seems intent on ruining Kerrigan's life.

But if Pierce Sullivan thinks she'll go down without a fight, he's sorely mistaken. Pushed to the extreme, she drives to his ritzy mountain lodge to force the arrogant You Can Call Me Mr. Sullivan to hear her out.

No sooner does she arrive than a snowstorm traps her with Pierce. Stranded together for days, she's in for the battle of her life. Pierce is nearly irresistible by candlelight. Without his suits and fancy cars, he's almost human.

Except only a fool would let down her guard. And Kerrigan can't risk her future. Not when she doesn't know if he's out to pilfer her dreams . . . or to steal her heart.

Review Copy Provided by Author


Calamity, Montana has been the setting for 2 entertaining stories in which Kerrigan was a secondary character. In Brazen, we finally have a chance to get to know her better.

Ms Nash does an excellent job of using the tidbits we know about Kerrigan from the previous books to craft an entertaining meet cute for this enemies to lovers tale.

I enjoyed getting to know Kerrigan and Pierce and seeing the layers to their respective personalities. Both were complicated people with a lot going on behind the scenes. We get to see a great deal of relationship growth here, both in terms of the romantic and familial bonds for these characters.

Loyal Ms Nash readers will be glad to see previous main characters appear as secondary characters, so we get brief updates on what they are doing now. We also get to meet a few new characters that hopefully we will learn more about in the future. I am definitely enjoying this series and would love to see more.
