Secret Love

The Single Dad Playbook Series

by Willow Aster

Blurb:

Who meets their soulmate shopping for bagels in a supermarket bakery aisle?

Before I moved to the small town of Silver Hills, I would have told you no one.

But the second I meet Henley Ward, I’m swept away.

He is everything I look for in a man: tall, strong and so handsome.

Our instant attraction, spirited banter, and heated glances leave a lasting impression…

Until I see him again.

Like a raging tornado, he storms into the school ready to take on the teacher who has crushed his daughter’s spirit.

The dedication this man has to his three daughters could be the sexiest thing I have ever seen.

Before we know it, we are stealing kisses in his kitchen and secretly getting together any chance we can.

I know I should stay away from Henley so I don’t lose my job, and his focus is on raising the girls and being the best wide receiver in football, but our attraction is intense and the draw between us is too tempting to resist.

I can only hope our secret love will survive when our truth is revealed.

Secret Love is book two in the Single Dad Playbook series. Each book can be read as a standalone.

Review:

From an adorable meet cute to a few speedbumps along the way, I enjoyed seeing Henley & Tru work their way into a HEA that works for them. A journey that is somehow both angsty and not angsty at the same time. I think maybe because those problem moments are telegraphed pretty well but then quickly resolved. It’s not necessarily bad, just different.

The pacing is also interesting. It seems like a slow burn but large chunks of time are done off page so overall the story moves pretty quickly. I kinda wish we’d gotten a few more of those moments on page, because there was the opportunity for some really good relaxed moments between Tru and Henley as well as them with their friends and family.

Speaking of friends and family, I have to say those are my favorite parts of the book. The way Henley is with his kids – the closeness, respect, and support that they show each other. But also the mistakes that are made along the way. And I could go on for ages about the amazing relationship between Henley and his friends. Those guys are the epitome of well adjusted and in touch with their emotions. The way they freely show their love & support for each other, recognizing and sharing their feelings both good and bad, while at the same time not being afraid of giving each other hell *chefs kiss* I want more of this kind of representation of healthy, respectful men in my books.

The Way We Play

The Bradford Boys series

by Tia Louise

Blurb:

He’s a grumpy, retired kicker who says he only breaks things. I’m a thirty-year-old virgin with something he can break (and I don’t mean my heart)… 

How does one get to be a thirty-year-old virgin?

In my case, start with being risk-averse and cautious, focused on building your career, then inherit your 12-year-old, special-needs brother. Done!

Zane Bradford appeared at the perfect time. 

He takes my brother to equine therapy, he gives me rides to work, and he rescues me when I collapse in the shower. (Yes, he saw me naked.)

He says he only breaks things, but I only see him fixing everything. Heck, his job is as a repair man.

This grumpy, angry god with lean muscles, silky dark hair, and ice blue eyes has taken himself out of the game.

But massage therapy is my job, and I’m ready to play.

Rachel Wells is ruining everything.

She walks into my workplace and argues with me, talks back, defends herself.

She gives me romance books to “improve my mood,” and insists on massage therapy to ease my pain.

Chronic pain isn’t my problem—she is, with her bright green eyes and sassy attitude.

Then she tells me she’s never been kissed. (What’s wrong with the men in Birmingham?)

The more she tempts me, the more I feel my resolve weakening.

She wants to play, but I’m not going to break.

(THE WAY WE PLAY is a small-town, grumpy-sunshine, sports romance with close proximity, enemies-to-lovers vibes, and a virgin FMC, and an over-protective alpha hero. No cheating. No cliffhanger. No third-act breakup.)

Tempting the Tight End

The Nash Brothers series

by Lisa Suzanne

Blurb:

𝐀 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥, 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡’𝐬 𝐝𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫, 𝐨𝐧𝐞-𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐀𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝐓𝐞𝐧 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫 𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚 𝐒𝐮𝐳𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞.

When fate steps in and I end up sitting right beside star tight end Asher Nash at the annual Vegas Aces charity ball, he has no idea that I’m his new coach’s daughter.

We dance, we flirt, we drink, and we end up in his hotel room, where an explosive night of passion leaves me breathless as he lives up to his legendary bad boy reputation.

When I run into him again and he realizes who my father is, he vows to stay away. My dad is the only person who believes Asher can overcome his troubled past, but the pull between us is too strong to resist.

Searing looks across the room ignite passionate kisses in private hallways, and secret escapades in the back of a car spark a forbidden romance.

Now I’m tempting the tight end, and neither of us can get enough. But as our stolen moments turn into more, we’re risking a potential fallout that could cost us everything.

Rags to Royals

Royals Gone Rogue series

by Erin Nicolle

Blurb:

A small-town single mom like me has no business believing in fairy tales. 

But the very handsome, charming, dirty-talking prince (yes, seriously) I met nineteen months ago now has his fine ass and panty-melting grin planted on my front porch. 

He’s been searching for me ever since I snuck out after our fantasy-filled weekend together.

And, dammit, that’s a little romantic.

Now that he’s found me, he wants to pick up where we left off.

Because he thinks he’s in love with me.

Oh, and because he needs to get out of the marriage, his grandfather, the king, has arranged for him.

But he’s in love with an illusion. I lied to him about everything except my first name. 

The carefree, adventurous woman he burned up the sheets with for three days is actually a stressed-out mechanic back in my small hometown, raising a sassy fifteen-year-old daughter, and trying to make amends for my mean girl past. I just don’t think my grease-streaked work boots scream princess material. 

Of course, he won’t take no for an answer. 

Instead, he proposes a deal: I give him nineteen days and let him get to know the real me. 

Then he’ll either be over me, go home and marry someone else.

Or I’ll walk down that aisle.

The thing is, can a girl who’s made all of my mistakes really go from rags to royal anywhere but in a storybook?

Rags to Royals is a modern royal romance with a feisty single mom, a golden retriever prince who falls first and hard, and lots of delicious dirty talk and spice on the page. It is the third book in the Royals Gone Rogue series, but can be read as a stand-alone.

Review:

There’s just SO much to like about Cian’s story – all the girl power, sweet Cian in love, dirty talking Cian in bed, adorable teenagers, supportive family, the set up to Henry’s story … SO much goodness.

I loved the fact that Cian is the one who won’t give up on Scarlett. That their connection is such that he’s still looking almost two years later and has no plan to give up on her. And once he finds her, he’s throwing everything at her to get her to admit that she feels the same. Giving her all the charm, support, and encouragement she needs to fully embrace herself and to realize that they belong together.

I kinda understand where Scarlett is coming from. It’s a lot, finding out that Cian is a prince and everything that comes with that. She’s got an idea what her life should look like and he definitely doesn’t fit in. But the man isn’t taking no for an answer and before long she’s seeing just how well they fit. And how much he needs her support just as much as she needs his.

There’s a lot of mean girl moments, past and present, but also strength and confidence, believing in yourself & your convictions, and how you can make the world a better place. It’s uplifting and powerful and has me pulling for all of these characters. For Scarlett being a better person, for Mariah standing up for what’s right, and Cian finding where he can make a difference and the support & recognition from those he loves.

Erin has a definite style – one of humor, steam, and emotion. He characters are larger than life, with big hearts and big feels, embracing life & love wholeheartedly and without apology. I’m looking forward to seeing what she has in store for Henry, and hoping Ruby makes him work for her love.

The Three Night Stand

A Wildwood Society Novel

by Roxie Noir

Blurb:

She’s the one night stand I never forgot.

And now her dad is about to marry my mom.

It has to be some kind of cosmic joke, right? For once, I feel like I’ve got my life together—good job, great friends, a fresh start in a new place. I’ve been on my best behavior for ages. At last, everything’s coming up Javier.

Until the moment I walk into my stepdad’s house and meet his daughter.

I should say: I meet her again. Madeline and I have already met. It was one night, two years ago. A quick, casual hookup that had no right to be as mind-blowing as it was. I haven’t stopped thinking about it–or her–ever since.

But our parents are getting married, so under no circumstances should we sleep together again.

Or… again. Or one more time after that, just to get it out of our systems.

Madeline’s funny, fiery, and so gorgeous with her pink hair and nerdy tattoos that I can barely look at her without breaking into a sweat. But she has too much going on to be interested in commitment, and God knows I’m a bad boyfriend candidate.

Once the wedding’s over, we’ll be normal stepsiblings who don’t have sex with each other, and Thanksgiving won’t be awkward at all.

Right?

Review:

This is my first book by Noir and I was delighted! I was a little hesitant with the first chapter – I’m all for embracing your sexuality in any manner you want but there was just something about it. Maybe the way we were just thrown into it or Noir’s word choices or … I don’t know. But it sure didn’t take me long to appreciate Javier and Madeline together.

Their relationship is steamy and humorous and caring. They are unsure about what their connection could mean but they keep coming back together, making mistakes along the way, and having to be brave to get what they want. Javier has a lot against him but Madeline appreciates him, supports him, and shows him the unconditional love that he needs.

This group has made a family in Sprucevale and I couldn’t get enough of them. It’s got all the heat and heart and happiness that you could ever need. The Three Night Stand may have been my first of Noir’s books but it definitely won’t be my last.

End Game

A Kings of Campus Novel

by Monica Murphy

Blurb:

In this fun, sexy college romance, a transfer student finds herself living in a house full of football players—and falling for the one she knows she shouldn’t want.

Everleigh

Transferring to UC Santa Mira is supposed to be my ultimate college experience—until housing falls through at the last minute. So when I overhear a group of guys complaining they need another roommate, I jump at the opportunity.

They’re just football players. Even if one of them makes me weak in the knees, it doesn’t mean anything unless I let it. And I won’t.

We want different things. Wanting each other doesn’t change that.

Nico

It’s my senior year and final season with the Santa Mira Dolphins. The last thing I need is a distraction, but that’s exactly what this girl is. Ever is too leggy, too gorgeous, too thoughtful—and a whole lot of too much that gets under my skin.

I guess I get under hers too. I can’t help myself.

We live together. That alone makes it a bad idea…but I never could resist a little trouble.

Review:

I’ve never read a book by Murphy before but I see her stuff everywhere and End Game, first in a new series, seemed like the perfect place to start. I enjoyed the characters being flawed, making mistakes but also being willing to admit it and try to do better. I do wish they’d spent more time together on the page so we could see them develop a connection, to realize that maybe they were willing to chance getting involved with each other. It was a pretty big roadblock to their relationship so being there for that was pretty important, I think.

The friendship between the guys and with Everleigh was a definite highlight. Picturing their lives together, including yoga with a bunch of football players, was a hoot. I love that they become like a family unit, caring for each other. Giving each other support, but also a hard time when they need it. As well as a smack when they need that as well.

As the first book, in addition to the main romance there was a bit of time setting up characters for future books. And there is definitely A LOT there that I’m looking forward to. I really hope she gives Dollar a fair shake. He’s so earnest and … in need of someone to love him and let him love them back. And Sienna definitely needs someone who will be the guy she deserves. As a first read for this author, I’m intrigued and can see why she’s so popular.

*sigh* Waiting is hard, y’all! When’s the next book coming?

King

Pittsburgh Titans series

by Sawyer Bennett

Blurb:

Jack Kingston is known for his dominant playing skills on the ice, but off, he’s a down-to-earth guy who values a true connection over a meaningless hookup.

I love being a member of the Pittsburgh Titans, even if my teammates are constantly ribbing me about women who they claim are throwing themselves all over me. Could I go for the easy lay? Sure, but that’s not my style. I’m more of long-term kind of guy. Instead, I’m going to keep doing what I do best—killing it out on the ice. Everything else will fall into place…eventually.

That time comes sooner than expected, in the most unlikely of ways. At the rink to watch our goalie’s kids play Peewee hockey, I meet Willa Montreaux and somehow, by the end of that interaction, I’ve offered to help her coach the Ice Pups. Altruism or were there other intentions in that offer? A little of both, if I’m being honest.

As the time I spend with Willa increases, I am absolutely certain I want even more. She’s gorgeous, sure, but that’s superficial. Willa is also funny, loving, determined and smart. SO smart. Doctor smart. Probably too intelligent for a jock like me, but that’s not going to stop me from shooting my shot.

Not looking for anything more than a fling and concerned that she’s too old for me, Willa doesn’t want to venture into anything serious. I’m willing to put in the work and give her the space she needs to come to terms with the fact that the connection we have is far more than physical. Willa and I are end game, but I’m willing to play into overtime if that’s what it takes to walk away with her by my side.

*****

Review:

Willa is hesitant to get involved again when her history hasn’t exactly been filled with good men. And King being 8 years younger doesn’t help her confidence in their suitability. But with patience and King shows that he’s all in.

He’s there for her as a coach for her niece’s peewee team. He’s there making calling and texting to show he’s thinking of her. He’s there to make a stand with her jerk of an ex. He’s there to bring her in to his world, with his friends and teammates. He also shows her how much he cares about those people. But that big heart also gets him into a little trouble with Willa.

So while their third act issues were obvious and handled in a predictable way, I enjoyed seeing King and Willa make their way to a HEA. It was nice to have a young, good-looking guy that was all about relationships and not the puck bunnies. And a decidedly smart, strong, level-headed woman who shows that she can make mistakes as well. And maybe just needs a little some help getting out of her way. (I do wish we’d seen more of Willa with her sister, but maybe she’ll show up in her own book 🙂 )

In The Details

Mile High Billionaires

by Julia Wolf

Blurb:

Two strangers at a beat down biker bar. A hot night twisted up in the sheets. Absolutely no strings attached.

My life is too complicated for more than that. Besides, what would I do with a possessive, demanding, sexy as hell motorcycle man? Especially one who’s younger than me.

As an executive with a demanding career and single mom to a three-year-old little girl, my life is planned down to the minute, but everyone knows what they say about the best laid plans…

When Jake Hayes walks into Rossi Motors looking for a partnership between our two companies, I’m lost for words. It turns out, my motorcycle man looks just as good wearing a finely tailored suit as he does straddling a bike in his leathers.

Now that he’s found me, he wants more hot, steamy nights with me. He’s persistent and I’m…tempted.

I try to keep him at arm’s length, but he slowly draws me in with his searing kisses and lighthearted teasing. It doesn’t hurt that he’s sweet and gentle with my little girl either. But then, he has plenty of experience with kids since he has a daughter of his own.

Jake wants me and all the baggage I come with. I want him too, but my heart’s been too battered to give it away easily.

If I don’t choose, Jake just might take matters into his own hands and steal it anyway.

Review:

This is only the second book I’ve read by this author and as with Dear Grumpy Boss I liked it but really wanted to give both of them a talking to. Which I guess makes them more realistic, right? Because very few of us don’t have moments, in particular when it comes to relationships, where we need that.

The first chapter really set the tone for me. I enjoyed the relationship between the two and how they interacted. I liked Clara – her dedication to her family and her job, her confidence in dragging herself back from a bad relationship. And Jake definitely had his moment – his relationship with his family and the support & care he shows Clara at times. But while there were a lot of things I enjoyed, there were a few things that bothered me.

I think there should have been a bit more of a transition from not doing relationships to “I want to date”. I get that there is a draw between them and we do get a peek into their reasons, especially as we get to know them, but it just needed just a little more to be believable. I also think the man needed to do a bit more groveling about some of the things he said about her early on. They were pretty awful but he tries to play it off and it didn’t work for me.

Clara had been hurt in the past, badly, and has some trust issues so I totally understand why she reacts the way she does at the end. I think in a normal situation their third act problems would be a little less of an issue but there’s a lot of hurt in her and she’s been struggling the whole book with trusting their situation. It’s good it happens as it gives all of them a chance to decide what they truly want, out of their relationship and out of life.

With a lot of heat & spice, a bit of angst, and family members & friends that add the feels & fun, In the Details is a good reminder that I enjoy Wolf’s writing. As long as I remember that I’m going to have moments of frustration at her characters doing real peoply things 🙂
