Imagine this: a woman falling for her best friend.  And she has no idea if he feels the same.

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

What starts off as a plan for revenge soon becomes something oh so much more in this sizzling rom-com featuring an unforgettable trio.  From the moment Trina meets hockey stars Chase and Ryder her life instantly changes with the word VIP taking on a new (and sexy) meaning.  With one offer after another she becomes more and more embroiled in the lives of the two best friends, bringing out hidden qualities that make these players so drool-worthy.

Trina's an immensely likable heroine, a sassy and bold woman who got blindsided by a cheating boyfriend.  She immediately has revenge on her mind but finds something completely unexpected with the two hockey players offering her so much more.  What starts out as an instant attraction quickly evolves into something more substantial, a deeper connection that empowers her to be all she can be.  She's treated like a queen in their presence, cared for and protected, while bringing out lots of intimate and scorching encounters.  Ryker and Chase are definite opposites, best friends who play on different teams, but who have a deep connection to one another.  They've never let a woman get between them before and with Trina they've created a beautiful balance where she seems to fit into their lives perfectly.  They each bring something to this triad, enriching their time together, making their interactions more intense both emotionally and physically.  Chase is the boy next door, charming with a quick smile.  He's sweet and oozes a warm and cuddly vibe.  Hockey's his life but so too is taking care of those he cares about.  He longs to make people happy and Trina was one lucky woman to have captured his attention.  Ryker's definitely his opposite, both in looks and personality.  He's a tatted-up, bearded, grump.  He's stoic with a brooding nature, someone who seems unapproachable.  He's a man of intensity though too, someone with a focused plan who brings the steam to the scenes with Trina and Chase.  These opposites end up burning up the pages while pulling at my heartstrings.  Their scenes together felt oh so right, warming my heart while making me blush in a connection that I bought into completely.  These three characters came together through a crackling connection, pieces of an erotic puzzle that was enriched by witty banter and a realistic discussion about making their triad work in the real world.  From start to finish I found this an entertaining read, a fun and flirty tale of acceptance and embracing happiness and love wherever you find it.  The characters are larger than life and had me cheering them on every step of the way in an unconventional romance that was pure perfection!

My rating for this is an A-

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

As a fan of sports-fueled romances this book captivated me from the very start with its crackling connection between a slightly older woman and the younger man who's the brother of her best friend.  From the moment these two met there was a very obvious connection that was both steamy and sensual, growing stronger the more they saw each other openly and honestly.  Living together shows them without any facades and as they fell for each other, I fell for them too in a romance that put a smile on my face.

Ben is the proverbial football god with guys wanting to be him and gals just plain wanting him!  A moment of bad behavior though leads to his suspension from the team and no place to live.  His sister luckily has the perfect idea for his housing dilemma...and that's when everything changes for him.  Ben's a decadently delightful hero, sexy and sweet...with a longtime crush on his new roommate that he's just now ready to do something about.  He's charming, witty, and the banter between him and Violet was everything to me!  He charmingly worked his way into Violet's heart, cooking and cleaning, reading romance novels, and showing a mature and endearing side of himself to her.  With each turn of the page I fell more and more in love with him and was cheering him on in his claiming of Violet.

Violet's the kind of heroine you can relate to and the connection between her and Ben practically jumped off the page courtesy of witty banter and undeniable chemistry.  She's fresh off a break-up but is leery of putting her heart on the line once again, especially with someone who's seen as a playa.  She continues to see Ben as immature, but behind the facade is a determined man who's the perfect match to Violet...if she just takes a chance on Ben.

This was a quick read, one full of steam and sparkling banter that amped up the sensuality.  Ben's the quintessential book boyfriend, making me smile and blush, along with warming my heart.  Violet's a good match...and I was particularly proud of her when she proved herself worthy of Ben at the end of the story.  Along with a delightful main couple was an equally entertaining cast of secondary characters who leant an air of family and familiarity to this book, giving a sense of family to the story. From start to finish I found this an immensely satisfying tale, one that gave me an afternoon of delights that I wholeheartedly recommend to others!

Book Release Blast for Falling For the Rookie by Carina Rose (REVIEW)……..

 Fans of sports romances will have even more reasons to rejoice as a star player finds an unexpected connection to his team's new female kicker.  With her being his sister's friend, and his new roommate, things soon take a sensual turn that complicates everything.  Keep reading to get a tempting taste of Falling For the Rookie by Carina Rose, along with my impressions of it, then add this fourth installment in the Never Say Never series to your bookshelf too!

People rarely catch me off guard. I’m Collin St. James, after all, starting wide receiver for the Virginia Thunder, and playing football has kept me on my toes. But nothing could have prepared me to mentor our newest teammate, kicker Charlie Nicholson.

I wasn’t caught off guard because I had to take someone under my wing, or because Charlie was easily banging sixty-yard kicks through the uprights. It happened when the rookie’s silver helmet came off and long blonde hair spilled out. Completely baffled, I edged closer and took in the prettiest blue eyes I’d ever seen.
Charlie wasn’t only a complete knockout, she was also my younger sister’s closest friend, and when she smiled at me, I knew right then and there I was in serious trouble.
The last thing I needed was a distraction, but thanks to my gorgeous new teammate—and, to my surprise, my roommate—that was exactly what I got.

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

From the moment I picked up this book I was utterly charmed...charmed by the connection between these two teammates (and roommates) and their slow-burn journey to HEA.  The storyline was just different enough to help this book standout in the crowded genre of sports romances which had me inhaling each turn of the page while reveling in the burgeoning romance between Collin St. James and Charlie Nicholson.  Add in the other players of the Virginia Thunder football team, with their sense of family and brotherly byplay, and readers will find a story that will put a smile on their face while warming their heart.

Collin St. James is a star on the football field, one who oozes confidence in himself but who is supportive of his teammates and friends too.  He's sweet, caring, and won my heart from the get-go.  Collin's not the kind of guy to have women trouble, but Charlie presents him with all sorts of problems...ever since he met her as a nerdy young girl who was the best friend of his sister.  He could see the crush she had on him and kept her at arm's length throughout the years out of respect for his sister.  Things have changed a lot since she was young though and becoming Collin's roommate makes it even more difficult to continue keeping her at arm's length in their sweet and sensual romance.

Charlie's an immensely appealing heroine, one with a lot on her plate as she strives for a successful future.  Charlie started off as a soccer player but her talent has led her to the football field where Collin is her mentor...and her continuing temptation.  She's focused on her kicking, knowing how much is riding on her being the first female kicker in football, but Collin's a delightful distraction.  From the moment they met years ago, until now, they've been dancing around the truth of what their hearts want...and with each turn of the page they get ever closer to what they both want.

Readers will fall for this unique tale, fall for the sweet yet sizzling connection between these two very likable characters, and not at all ready to reach the end of this captivating romance.  Thankfully, the secondary characters give me hope for yet another delightful tale from Ms. Rose which has me already waiting with bated breath!

Book Release Blast for The Secret Roommate by Sara Ney (REVIEW)……

 An athlete looking for a bit of peace and quiet finds himself falling for his new roommate, who was supposed to be keeping to herself, in this charming rom-com.  Keep reading to get a tempting taste of The Secret Roommate by Sara Ney, along with my impressions of it, then add this fourth installment in the Accidentally In Love series to your bookshelf!

All I need is a place to hide for a few weeks.

The paparazzi were on my ass 24/7 and I needed a bit of breathing room—an escape from the madness—before the media frenzy begins.

Sure, I could have gone to a secluded cabin in the woods—but I didn’t want to be bored out of my mind. I’d seen enough wide open spaces as a kid from Texas to last me a lifetime.
So instead, I let my agent hook me up with a modest house in the burbs where we didn’t think anyone would find me hiding in plain sight.
I’d have a roommate; but supposedly, she was going to give me space. Stay out of my way and respect my boundaries. According to my agent, I wouldn’t hear a peep from her.
Wrong. He was wrong about everything and now my life was never going to be the same.

BUY here.

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

As a fan of the roommates to lovers theme I couldn't wait to get my hands on this story and with each turn of the page I found myself charmed by the romance playing out on the pages.  These two apparent opposites start off antagonistic but as the days (and nights) unfold they find a connection, bringing out a different side to each than they show the world.  By the end of the book I'm left satisfied and hopeful for this couple, looking forward to seeing more of them throughout the series.

Duke's a star football player looking for a hideout until a big announcement is made regarding his career.  He ends up in the unlikeliest of places...in a small town as a roommate to a kindergarten teacher.  He's definitely a fish out of water at the start, used to getting what he wants when he wants.  He's a bit arrogant, often speaks before he thinks, and I truly wanted to slug him a time or two for his utter cluelessness early on.  Luckily though, my frustrations were balanced with genuine moments of him being caring and protective, showing a more mature side than at the start.  He's a quirky guy, full of witty banter and a playful nature who brought out a fun side to Posey and their slow-burn connection was teeming with laugh out loud moments.

Posey's an immensely likable heroine, patient and thoughtful, a good girl who doesn't take crap from anyone.  Her immediate reaction to Duke is one of annoyance though due to his arrogance and frat boy antics.  He definitely pushes her buttons and wears her patience thin as they're truly opposites at the start.  Witty and playful banter, back and forth antics soon lead to more though in a sensual romance that takes its time while showing these two in a different light as their time together has changed them.

This was a fun and flirty romance full of laughs...with just a bit of angst due to an out of the blue twist late in the book that had me screeching.  Despite that unnecessary hiccup I found this an entertaining read with an appealing main couple (Duke's warts and all) that was both charming and steamy.  It was a carefree read for the most part that made for an afternoon of delights.

My rating for this is a B-

Book Release Blast for Protective Heart by Brighton Walsh (REVIEW)…..

 From the first page to the last this was a book of utter delights, a friends to roommates to lovers to something even more that warmed my heart and made me smile.  Keep reading to get a tempting taste of Protective Heart by Brighton Walsh, along with my impressions of it, which will have you wanting to add this second installment in the Starlight Cove series to your bookshelf!

I’ve lied to myself for years about being in love with my best friend.

Everly Bowman and I don’t make sense. She’s sunshine personified and I hate everyone. Well, everyone but her. It’s been easy to keep up the farce and pretend like she isn’t my whole world. Or it was until she needs a place to stay, and my apartment is her only option.
Suddenly, she's everywhere I turn. Even her scent is branded into my sheets. And thanks to our unofficial romance book club, I’ve also amassed an encyclopedia titled Everly’s Pleasure Buttons. Each week, it gets harder to ignore how much I want to make her fantasies come true. Especially when we crawl into my bed every night.
But I won’t jeopardize what we have for anything, so I’m fine with lying to myself and pretending like I don’t dream of calling her mine.
At least, I was until I see her with him.

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

From the moment I picked up this book I was in my happy place with themes that are among my favorites.  I absolutely adore romances of friends to lovers, of roommates to lovers, with interactions that crackle...and this book definitely delivers all that and more! As these two apparent opposites spend more and more time together readers will find themselves captivated by the delightful romance slowly but surely building between them, while rooting them on every step of the way.

Everly is a breath of fresh air who brings happiness to everyone around her.  She's a truly good soul and I wished nothing but good for her.  She's not the kind of person to make herself happy though, constantly pushed by her parents to live life as they want her to.  When she finally has the chance to make herself happy I couldn't have been more delighted and cheered her on as she and Beck took their connection to the next level.

Beck's described as grumpy but I found him endearing and the quintessential book boyfriend, a man with a sweet and cuddly underbelly.  He might be a bit standoffish, careful around others, but when it comes to Everly he's ready to do whatever she asks of him.  He's protective of her, watches over her like a sexy Guardian Angel, and is her very willing companion when it comes to her romance book club.  Add in his talent for dirty talk and you have a darn near perfect hero!

This book was a carefree read with a delightful romance and very little angst.  The main couple were a wonderful pairing who slowly accepted what others knew all along...that they were meant to be together.  The romance between Beck and Everly was sweet and sexy with crackling banter both in and out of the bedroom that made them believable as both friends and lovers.  Surrounding this immensely appealing main couple were an equally entertaining cast of secondary characters, among them Beck's family with their playful banter and Everly's dog who was the cherry to this romantic sundae.  With each turn of the page I fell more and more in love with these characters, and the town of Starlight Cove, and with the thoroughly enticing ending with Ford I'm left waiting with bated breath for a return to this world.

My rating for this is an A.

 For years two friends have fought their growing attraction to one another until the obvious can no longer be ignored in this New Adult m/m romance set amidst the backdrop of the MC world.  Keep reading to get a tempting taste of Landon by Marie James, along with my impressions of this emotional and steamy romance, then add this 22nd installment in the Cerberus MC series to your bookshelf!

He ruined a lifelong friendship the night he kissed me.

I spent the next three years avoiding him.

Well...I tried at least.

With my dad being a member of the Cerberus MC and his dad married to one of the members it was virtually impossible.

Just like it was impossible to keep from watching his mouth when he spoke.

The same went for staring at his hands and remembering how they felt on my skin that night. Senior year of college, after years of keeping our distance, we ended up in the same dorm room. Avoiding him now is no longer an option...

Landon is a bi-awakening, best friends to enemies to lovers novel.

BUY AT AMAZON here.

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

The Cerberus MC series has been one heckuva rollercoaster ride through 21 previous books!  Number 22 is yet another winner, taking readers on an emotionally intense journey of two lifelong friends and the feelings that evolve to break them up before bringing them back together.  It's a journey of acceptance of yourself, embracing love whoever offers it, and not letting the judgements of others keep you from your HEA. This is a tale that spans years, breaks your heart early on, before putting a smile on your face with a satisfying conclusion.

Rick and Landon had been friends for years before a traumatic event led Rick to confessing his secret love for his best friend.  It's a moment that pulled them apart though with Landon unable to admit what he's spent years fighting...that he feels the same for his friend.  My heart broke for Rick at that moment, for being brave enough to admit the truth about what's in his heart and being turned away...being ignored for years in fact before fate brought them back together as roommates whose closeness led to Landon no longer being able to keep his true feelings hidden.

Throughout their frustrating and emotional journey I truly liked Rick.  He had a big heart that he simply wanted to give to Landon, he simply wanted to be seen as someone Landon could love, instead of being kept at arm's length.  Landon especially frustrated me because of the casualness of the hurt he caused Rick, hurt that was mostly because of his indecision and fear over how others might see him.  Once he admitted his feelings to himself though he was all in and his actions started to charm me.

Theirs was a hard-fought journey to HEA, one that put them and readers through the wringer.  Things might've started out slow but they turned steamy halfway through in encounters that were tender and sensual.  Once these two started to talk I was truly touched by their maturity and the openness of what their being together means. Though this book is part of the Cerberus MC series it focuses solely on Landon and Rick. Secondary characters, family and friends, are seen but the action is totally of the emotional kind as we watch these two become men in love with each other.  It's a heartfelt read that's a refreshing addition to the usual MC fare and is one I definitely recommend!

My rating for this is an A-

AUTHOR INFO:

Let's see...where to begin...

I'm inching up on the BIG 4-0. The gray hairs are doubling what seems like daily, and the wrinkles and laugh lines are more pronounced than ever.

I have an amazing husband (Married just over 15 years.)

We have two boys we're doing our best to raise as respectful gentlemen.

I have a master's degree in criminal justice which I used to work as a juvenile probation office until deciding to write full- time in June of 2019. So that means there's usually always some criminal/law element to my novels.

If I'm not writing; I'm reading.

My favorite genres recently are bully/reverse harem and enemies to lovers. Maybe I'm reliving my traumatic teen years through the girls who actually end up with the boys. (Not that I would change my history since it's gotten me exactly where I need to be!)

I love coffee. I miss carbs. Music is LIFE. I try not to be too serious.
