๐Review๐
Harris is a professional player who along with his team find themselves in Washington to build their skills and the relationships between them. When he meets Lucy he is smitten and isnโt about to correct her impression that he is a lumberjack as it allows her to get to know him and not his celebrity status which leads to some hijinks along the way.
Sara was born and raised in Star Lake. She is surrounded by friends and family and has created a successful career as a yoga instruction however the same success hasnโt translated when it comes to romance. She canโt help but be drawn to the inept lumberjack especially when it comes to the mayhem he brings into her structured life.
The interactions between Sara and Harris are both fun and flirty. The combination of the team being in town and the lumberjack competitions makes for some funny situations and there is also what Sara doesnโt know about Harris as well as their very different lives to add a little unrest along the way.
Reeve โOnyxโ Pierce spoke through ink, not words. As the quiet force behind Hellbound Studio, heโd built a reputation on blackwork that didnโt fade and loyalty that didnโt bend. Heโd never wanted anything that wasnโt worth keeping forever.
Elena Dane was young, brilliant, and gifted in ways she didnโt yet understand, but she trusted the wrong man. Onyx saw the threat immediately, and once he decided Elena was his to protect, there was no undoing the claim.
โHere,โ he says, trying to hand them to me. โThese will have to do.โ
โDo for what?โ I ask, refusing them.
To my surprise, Liam smiles. โI know what a person looks like when they need to hit something. You, Princess, need to hit something.โ
I gape at him. โNo, Iโm not angry. Iโmโฆโ
Sad. Defeated. Broken.
He plops the gloves into my hand. โMaybe you should be angry.โ
โAnger is a dark emotion.โ I shove the gloves back at him. โI donโt want any part of it.โ
โItโs only a dark emotion if you let it take root inside of you.โ The corner of his mouth hitches up. โLook at that. You just got six months of anger management classes for free. Youโre welcome.โ
โYou took anger management classes?โ
His half-smile widens. โIโm surprised my sister didnโt tell you the whole story. She loves giving me a hard time.โ
โAll she told me is that she loves you, youโre the best brewer in town, and youโre an as$hole.โ
โWell, there you go. I am an as$hole. Thatโs why I took anger management classes.โ
โAnd they told you to punch someone?โ
โThe best way to avoid blowups is to let it out. I have a feeling youโve been carrying everything in here.โ He taps his chest with one hand, and my gaze follows the movement, transfixed. Heโs all muscle and movement. โMy sister told me what Bubba and the others did to you. How they humiliated you. Your father watched and did nothing to stand up for you. Doesnโt that piss you off?โ
Tears burn in my eyes. โYou and Hannah were both right. You are an as$hole.โ
โCanโt say you werenโt warned.โ
โWill you stop messing around and tell me if youโre really willing to consider working at Silver Star? I was thinking I could offer youโโ
โIโll take the job because my sister asked me to. I donโt need another reason. But if you show me youโve got some fight in you, then Iโll be a hell of a lot less pissed off about being told what to do.โ

What happens when the youngest, most successful coach in the NHL comes face-to-face with the woman he never got over โ only to find out sheโs married to his new General Manager?
Everything Iโve spent my life building is suddenly at risk.
I loved Ariana Ridley long before the world knew my name. Before the NHL. Before the pressure of being one of the youngest coaches in the league. Before I learned how to survive by locking my heart down tight.
Leaving her was the hardest thing Iโve ever done โ and the one choice I never made peace with.
Now sheโs back. And she belongs to another man.
My new General Manager.
I tell myself I can handle it. Discipline is my job. Control is my strength. I know how to keep my distance โ how to respect the lines that should never be crossed.
But every glance drags the past to the surface. Every quiet moment reminds me the love I buried never died.
I see the cracks she tries to hide, the fear sheโs learned to live with, and the way she still looks at me like Iโm the one place she can breathe.
I want to protect her. I want to fight for her. And I want things I have no right to want.
Because if I cross that line, I donโt just risk my career โ I risk shattering the woman I never stopped loving.
Some choices haunt us forever. Some loves never let go.
And trying to right my wrongs might just ruin us both.

But when a desperate letter from her ex, Lucasโa warlock with a shadowy pastโarrives, her fragile peace is shattered. Unable to abandon him, Alex sets off for Brazil with her bonded mated and the snarky demon Corgi, Argo, to rescue Lucas’s sister from the clutches of a ruthless vampire Master.

Then, when a desperate escape uncovers a sinister prophecy binding the three of them, Alex must confront the true source of her growing power and passionโone darker than she ever imagined.
As unforeseen betrayals and revelations cloud the path and threaten those she loves, will Alexโs heart guide her to a new destiny, or will it lead to catastrophic consequences? Can she master the darkness within, or will it consume them all? And does a girl really have to choose?

Welcome to Rebel, Louisianaโwhere the humidity feels personal, even the otters hold grudges, and chaos is a competitive sport.
I used to play hockey in sold-out arenas. Now my wrecked knee and I are stuck in a little bayou town thatโs been mad at me for a year. I need a big comebackโand ZERO drama.
So first thing, I get tackled at the airport by a sunshiny woman in yellow overalls whoโs thwarting my kidnappingโฆ by her grandpas.
Thatโs Nora DelauneโParks & Rec director, caffeine-powered menace, and the only person in Rebel willing to give me a chance. She needs me to win games and help save the townโs ice arena before it gets turned into a laser-tag nightmare.
And Iโฆ kind of like being needed by her. Even when sheโs producing a singing, dancing, wig-wearing ice extravaganza that is definitely not hockey.
Then my sisterโthe teamโs new ownerโdrops the bomb: if Nora and I โdate,โ the town might stop hating me.
Fine. Weโll fake it. As long as we donโt call it love.
But between late-night practices, the sugar-addicted swamp-werewolf mascot, otter drama, and the way Nora looks at me like Iโm worth rooting forโฆIโm in trouble.
๐Review๐ When an injury ends his professional hockey career Alex finds himself at a crossroads uncertain of what comes next. This is how he finds himself agreeing to play in a small town in Louisiana for the team owned by his sister that is not your typical hockey team. His arrival in town is greeted by disdain from most due to an event in the past and an unexpected welcome by Nora.
Nora will do anything for anyone and wants to make the transition as easy as possible for Alex for the wellbeing of their town and its residents. When the best way to have Alex welcomed by the town is to pretend they are in a relationship she is all in and that is when the mayhem really begins.
It is the eclectic group of characters that make this book so much fun and the antics that they get up to. The humor is sure to bring a smile to your face, the romance is heartwarming and this story has all the feels as Nora and Alex give each other what has been missing in their lives.

Being a nanny for a newly single dad wasnโt the job I applied for when I decided to lick my wounds in Blossom Peak.
But showing him my bare backside wasnโt in my plans either.
When the pursuit of my dream career seemed unattainable, instead of going home and proving my parents right, I made a detour to the small mountain town I remember visiting as a kid.
I just wanted a waitressing job to make some extra money while I figured out my next steps.
But then the lumberjack of an owner begged me to help him with his three month-old daughter that he just found out existed, and I couldnโt resist his plea.
Or his massive physiqueโthe one I saw every detail of when he appeared shirtless in front of me three times in the first week.
The problem with living together though is thereโs little space, especially when my boss is so closed off that heโs like a nut I want to crack open.
And when I do, he steals the breath from my lungsโand reignites my creativity as well.
But I gave myself a deadline to figure out whatโs next.
Nowhere in that plan though did I account for falling for Henley Clark.
Turns out the heart doesnโt care, even when youโre on borrowed time.
Bailey Hart has mastered the art of staying small. A lighthouse-bookstore, a quiet life in Coral Bell Cove, and enough romance novels to drown out the heartbreak she swore sheโd never repeat. Sheโs sworn off big leaps, big risks, and especially the boy who once left her love noteโand her heartโon full display.
Crew Wright was supposed to have it all. The charming quarterback with a Southern smile and a future paved in stadium lightsโฆ until an injury sent everything crashing down. Now heโs back home to heal his shoulder, his pride, and the parts of himself he buried beneath fame. Heโs not expecting Baileyโthe girl who saw him before the world ever did.
What starts as borrowed tools, paint-splattered afternoons, and late-night confessions quickly turns into something neither of them can outrun. Bailey wants to protect her heart. Crew wants a second chance to prove he wonโt break it.
But when old wounds reopen and the world comes calling for him again, theyโll have to decide if love is something you chaseโฆ or something you stay for.
At First Play is a slow-burn, banter-filled, small-town romance about forgiveness, falling again, and finding the one person who feels like homeโno matter how far youโve run.
A shocking find. A search for answers. And a journey to the brink of madness.
When her older brother, Felix, dies in a motorcycle accident, Nora Lambert is left to clear out his London flat, home to his prestigious artwork and lifeโs work. But among his possessions, she stumbles upon something far more disturbing.
A hidden USB stick. A file marked โNobodyโs Eyes.โ Something she was never meant to see.
What she watches is beyond comprehension. A collection of disturbing clips that appear to be real snuff footage. And the most terrifying part? She thinks Felix might be in the film.
Is this a twisted art project or something far more sinister?
Determined to uncover the truth, Nora plunges into a shadowy world of dark web conspiracies, underground collectors, and depraved obsessions. The deeper she digs, the more she realises someone doesnโt want her asking questions.
Because some doors should never be opened, and some secrets are worth killing for.
Heโs a golden retriever who wants it all. Sheโs a black cat who loves her independence. Opposites donโt just attract, they combust in this funny, sexy, standalone romance.
