Bill Keenan played hockey at Harvard University from 2005 to 2008 and professionally in Europe from 2009 to 2012. After completing his MBA at Columbia Business School, he worked for two years in Deutsche Bank’s investment banking division. He currently serves as COO of Graydon Carter’s Air Mail.
Grizz McAvoy is the most electrifying player in professional hockeyโฆand the most volatile. Heโs got a wicked shot, a hair-trigger temper, and spent his childhood surviving his father’s cruelty. Off the ice, he’s a PR catastrophe, racking up fines, burning through handlers, and daring the New York Vipers organization to do something about it. Heโs built his entire identity around one principle: winning solves everything.
But winning canโt silence the past trauma that haunts him when the arena lights go dark.
Daisy Turner was fired from a top style magazine for asking questions powerful men didn’t want to answer and exposing hypocrisy in the world of high-fashion. She’s looking to salvage her career as a journalist by scraping together a second chance as Grizz’s new media handler. Fearless in her own right, she carries scars from a betrayal that taught her trust is a currency she can’t afford to spend freely.
From their first combustible meeting, Grizz and Daisy collide in a battle of wills neither is prepared to lose. She challenges him, and he can’t look away. What begins as mutual provocation becomes far more dangerous when the walls between professional and personal start to crumble, and the wreckage of Grizz’s past threatens to destroy the one person brave enough to see through his rock-solid armor.
Grizz is a scorching, emotionally charged hockey romance about two people who were never supposed to fall for each other, and the bruising, tender, inevitable collision that happens when they do.
๐Review๐ The emotional scars of Grizzโs past continue to impact his behavior in the present which has drawn the attention of the team and left him with a less than stellar reputation. When Daisy is hired to help the team with PR she is unlike anyone he has never met as although she pushes when necessary she also gives him a sense of peace that has been missing from his life.
When Daisy found herself unemployed her best friend managed to secure her a position with her uncleโs hockey team. Even though the fashion industry is very different from hockey she quickly adapts to what is needed. When it comes to Grizz she realizes that there is a lot more to the abrasive hockey player that everyone sees but she soon realizes the emotional scars of his past are far from healed.
One of the most important aspects of the story was the way that Daisy got to know Grizz and how she tried to support him with every challenge he faced. Their journey wasnโt easy but the outcome made it all worthwhile. The audio performance had Lucy Rivers portraying Daisy exactly how you picture her while Lance Greenfield brings out how Grizz has closed himself off to everyone except for Daisy and his sister.
Levi โCenturyโ Wharton built his reputation on lightning-fast custom builds and stayed far away from drama. Until Saylor Everett walked into The Burnout, and he mistook her for her evil twin.
As soon as he realized his mistake, Century knew the pretty teacher was his. But when her sister stirs up dangerous trouble, Saylor gets pulled into the crosshairs. Century will do whatever it takes to protect the only woman whoโs ever made him want to slow down.
Saylor has come to a bar owned by the MC to meet up with her friend when she is told by Century to leave when he mistakes her for her twin sister. She canโt get out of there fast enough and never wants to see her again however Century isnโt about to just let her walk out of his life.
Century realizes that he should have knows that Saylor wasnโt her sister by the way she makes him feel. He knows that they are destined to be together so when her sisterโs troubles bring danger to Saylor he and the MC will do whatever is required to ensure it goes away and stays that way.
Saylor is the perfect mix of sweet and sassy while Century is protective and possessive. A little action, a heartfelt romance and passion that radiates off the pages.
She thinks heโs arrogant. He thinks sheโs judgmental.
Neither one of them can stay away from each other.
Rule number one of being a sports journalist. Never get too close to the players.
Rule number two. Oops, too late.
Nate Sandler is the franchise quarterback for the Harbor Bay Hawks. He is confident, infuriating, and way too charming for his own good.
Iโve made it my job to ask tough questions, while heโs built a reputation of dodging them. Every time we are in the same room, the interviews turn into verbal sparring matches.
Especially when he makes a point to call me sweetheart in front of my peers. I should hate it. Instead, my pulse spikes for all the wrong reasons.
To top it all off, my boss assigns me to an exclusive interview with the same man who hates the press as much as he does losing. For the sake of my career, I canโt exactly turn it down. How hard can it be? Itโs only a few weeks after all.
Well, the joke is on me because this isnโt as simple as I thought.
Not when every smirk feels like a challenge and every touch feels like a dare. Instead of keeping things professional, Iโm breaking every rule and boundary I set for myself.
Now the closer I get, the more I realize Nate is not the man I thought he was. And thatโs a problem, because Iโm falling for the one man who could derail my career with a single headline.
If Iโm not careful, the story Iโve been chasing might not just cost me my career, but my heart too.

BACKUP PLAN is an emotional and spicy sports standalone romance with a single mom, a secret relationship, and a pro football player who falls first from Amazon Top Ten Bestselling Author Lisa Suzanne.
Moving into my best friendโs brotherโs penthouse was never part of my plan. Neither was falling for him. But when a few drinks with pro football quarterback Liam Bradley leave me tangled in his sheets, my plans have been derailed.
When Liam offers me a room in his penthouse so I can move out of my soon-to-be exโs house, it seems like the perfect backup plan while I navigate an ugly divorce and try to keep my life together for my two young boys.
Somewhere between video game tournaments with my boys and late-night conversations over cereal, what was supposed to be a one-time thing is turning into more. But Liam is the last man I should want and the worst possible distractionโฆwhich is why weโre sneaking around in secret.
While Liam fights for the chance to finally become more than a backup quarterback, I’m fighting to protect my boys from a man determined to use every mistake against me.
And falling for my backup plan is already complicated enough before another woman shows up carrying Liam Bradley’s baby.
Her grandfatherโs sacrifice was supposed to spare her from this life, but his death has pulled her right back home to the ranch she thought sheโd left behind for good. Now sheโs fighting with her brother for the right to save it. She has a plan but no one will listen to her.
Her brotherโs solution is to bring in outsiders, thatโs what she says. He claims without the clubโs help, the ranch is doomed.
But I see the genius in Dellaโs vision.
And this ainโt our first rodeo. Literally.
Now weโre up against more than just her brother. Between small minds, big business, and a bunch of folks who donโt think Della belongs here, sheโs determined to prove everyone wrong. And Iโm determined to prove to her the spark thatโs igniting between us is a whole lot more than basic attraction. Can we protect whatโs rightfully hersโand oursโor will outside forces burn our new dreams to ashes?

EZRA It hasnโt been easy growing up as the only daughter of Dogwood Ridgeโs Sheriff, a position heโs maintained with pride for most of my life. There have been many times when I wondered if his badge was more important to him than me. Except for when he wanted to parade me around as the perfect daughter, of course.
Dad is overprotective and is always worried about appearances. Heโs also hated the Saintโs Outlaws Motorcycle Club since before I was born; it has nothing to do with his pledge to uphold the law. Iโve been told to stay away from the club for as long as I can remember, but itโs not easy to do. Every bit of freedom and independence I have, Iโve fought for; teaching the kids of Dogwood Ridge and taking photos keeps me sane.
I would have never guessed that my hobby would get me in trouble. When I snap a picture of something I shouldnโt see, itโs not my father who can keep me safe. Ryker is willing to stand in front of danger for me, but nothing is given for free. What happens when itโs my heart on the line instead of my life?
TITUS โRYKERโ You can take the crown that comes with being king and shove it. Give me the wind whipping past me and the roar of my bike while the sun bounces off the asphalt. Thatโs power; thatโs what I crave. Still, I can admit the presidentโs patch comes with a lot of perks.
Iโve never been against taking advantage of everything that comes with my position, but I watched my dad put the club first and I make sure to do the same. The only people I answer to are my brothers, certainly not those who judge me for the leather I was born to wear. And no one judges us more than Sheriff Lyons.
If only he was able to keep Dogwood Ridge safe. His daughter, Ezra, has always been the sweetest of forbidden fruit. When she needs my protection, I quickly figure out that I would gladly lay down my loyalty to the club for her. Sheโs quirky, fierce, and the woman I need by my side and on the back of my bike. I wonโt be letting her go once the people who are after her slink back into the shadows.
๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ฎ’๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐ โ๏ธ Motorcycle Club โ๏ธ Opposites Attract โ๏ธ Good Girl & Bad Boy โ๏ธ Damsel in Distress โ๏ธ Sheriff’s Daughter โ๏ธ He Falls First โ๏ธ Family Drama โ๏ธ Forbidden Romance
โค๏ธReview Ezra is the sheriffโs daughter who has been warned by her father to stay away from the Saintโs Outlaws MC as he considers them his enemies. While attending the fair with her students she sees something that places her in danger however when her father doesnโt believe her it is Titus, the President of the MC, who is there for her.
Titus is used to being looked down on by the sheriff and even though he is attracted to her he has always believed it is best to keep his distance from Ezra because of her father. Seeing how upset she is at the fair is all it will take for him to protect her and claim her as his own despite how her father feels.
Spending time with this MC is always an adventure you donโt want to miss. I enjoyed seeing Ezra evolve into the woman she was destined to be and Titus will do anything to keep Ezra safe and give her the family she has always wanted.

Somewhere between them choosing baby names, designing their forever home, and falling even harder for each other, Damon realizes something undeniable.
Some loves arenโt temporary.
Some loves are forever.
And theirs has always been leading to that someday.
Ainsley loves Damon with her whole heart, but she also doesnโt want to stand in the way of his dreams of playing football. For this reason, she hasnโt been truthful with him about her pregnancy and had plans for when she would tell him however things donโt always work out the way you planned and now she must not only face the hurt he is feelings, but where they go from there.
From the moment that Damon met Ainsley he knew that she was his destiny and he was determined that they would have their dreams and each other. Finding out that she hadnโt told him about her pregnancy created a little turmoil, but he understood why and he isnโt about to let this unexpected surprise derail the future they were destined to have together.
