I blame getting pregnant on my sister getting mauled by a bear.
If she hadnât been attacked that day, I wouldnât have come home to check on her. I wouldnât have run into Boone Windsor at that bar. I wouldnât have gone home with him, ready to drown my sorrows in a different, more satisfying way.
I wouldnât have given him that second chance.
Not after heâd so badly burned the first chance.
I wouldâve gone back to work half the country away, and I wouldâve kept my head in the sand where Boone was involved.
But my sister did get attacked. I did give Boone a second chance.
And I almost died because of it.
After my memories are lost in an accident that almost takes both of our lives, Boone makes me fall in love with him all over again.

I fell, and fell, and fell until there was nowhere else to go but down.
Then, when those memories come back and Iâm faced with the consequences of my actions, I didnât falter.
I knew he was hell, yet I chose to burn with him anyway.

A bad-boy NFL star meets his match in a feisty single mom with this sweet, steamy, and emotional novel about second chances and breaking the rules of romance.
Raising my ten-year-old son, running an animal rescue, and caring for my grandfather leaves zero time for complications, let alone cocky athletes who get under my skin. Too bad the universe didnât get the memo.
Because a big complication just crashed into my lifeâliterallyâin the form of towering NFL quarterback Archer Evans, sentenced to community service at my shelter after a scandal. Despite his mistakes, I try not to judge. Heâs got demons of his own, and even though heâs made it perfectly clear he wants me, the last thing he needs is a wary single mom seeing the vulnerable man beneath the muscles and the attitude.
Though Iâll admit, Iâm tempted to look.
Not that Iâd cave. With his notoriety, Archer would never make it past date two of my eight-date rule. I want simple. Safe. Heâs too successful. Too arrogant. Too everything. The definition of complicated.

I enjoyed learning the backstory of Archer which allowed us to see that there are no limits when it comes to those he cares about while Remi is doing the best she can with the challenges that life throws at her. The banter is humorous and the way they opened up to each other was heartwarming. Stephen Dexter and CJ Bloom bring out all the aspects of Remi and Archerâs personalities as well as the emotions they were feeling.

âIâve got to get Julianâs booster.â I turned toward the van, sticking a hand in my purse and rummaging for my keys. âNo need. I got one.â Lips pursed, I turned back to him. âHere.â He opened the back door, and sure enough, there was a booster. I strode to the door and examined it. âThatâs the same.â âYes. The same one you have. I saw it while I was at Costmart and grabbed it, figured it would be easier.â Blinking, I turned to him, my brain not quite understanding. âGot snacks too.â Julian wandered to Joshâs side. âIs Wayne coming?â Ducking, he shook his head. âHeâs keeping Jasper and Vincent company while weâre gone. Since we need my truck to haul the pumpkin back, there isnât enough room. Julianâs whole body sagged with disappointment. âBut heâll help us build our boat, donât worry.â The truck was equipped with snacks, water, blankets, and a few extra hoodies. Well-worn hoodies that looked so cozy I wished I could slip one on now, then take it home with me. âWhy do you have so many snacks?â Maggie asked. âCause kids eat a lot,â he replied, eyeing her in the mirror. Ellie shrugged. âAccurate.â We hadnât even driven outside town limits before they were digging in. âMom,â Julian shouted far louder than necessary. âHe has cucumbers. Cut in circles, not sticks.â I turned in my seat, and sure enough, Josh had procured cucumbers, Julianâs favorite, and had cut them with precision. âHe got my crackers too.â Heart thudding, I eyed the man beside me. âHow did you know which foods were Julianâs safe foods?â His focus was on the road, his fingers tapping the steering wheel. âI noticed and took a photo of the box with my phone. Didnât want to mess it up for him.â

Left Field is a spicy pro baseball, forced proximity, vacation romance from Amazon Top Ten Bestselling author Lisa Suzanne.
After accepting an offer from a luxury resort in the Bahamas, my dream of becoming a travel influencer is finally within reach. I just need one thing to make me stand out…like the pro baseball player I run into on my first night.
Archer Bradley is here for the opposite. He doesn’t want attention. He definitely doesn’t want me crashing his dinner with a smile and a camera. He’s broody and distant, but he’s also hot and charming. One night tangled in his sheets has me addicted.
When he finds out what I do, he makes me promise not to feature him. And the more time I spend with him, the easier it becomes to respect that boundary-especially as he starts to see the real me behind my camera-ready smile.
I didn’t come here to fall for some athlete, but somewhere between couples’ yoga and sunset walks on the beach, I did.
Now I have to choose between the career I’ve worked for my entire life and the love that slammed into me straight out of left field.

Within hours of meeting him, I learned what it meant to be with the Sicilian Capo. Iâm a nurse. A nobody. And yet, because of him, I woke up in hell. Somehow, I commanded Custanzu Valentiniâs attention and that put me in a set of crosshairs I wasnât meant to survive. He called me âhis kitten.â Promised me rubies and a life of ease.

The Angel is book 2 of The Salvation Duet and the final book in the Valentini Family Series. â¨Start this duet now with The Capo, available in KU: https://www.books2read.com/valentinifive
â¤ď¸Reviewâ¤ď¸ Although they seem like an unlikely pair there is no denying that they are meant to be. Kitty is a nurse with ties to the mafia when Stan decides to claim her as his own but being with him will challenge her in ways she didnât expect and after the situation she found herself in after the first part of the duet she shows that she is his equal in every way.
Stan is a powerful man within the mafia and is possessive and protective of Kitty. Finding out that she is danger brings out the darker side and there is nothing he wonât do for her. Having her back is only the beginning as he must deal with not only nearly losing her but the battle that is being waged around them.
The characters of Kitty and Stan are compelling and their relationship captivating. Their story is filled with action, surprises and answers and catching up with the other characters who have drawn us in only makes this story better.
