🏒Review🏒 Roman is the veteran goalie for the Toronto Terror who is in the final year of his career. He has devoted his life to his daughter however she is now an adult and in love with his best friend and teammate. The team has recently hired a new assistant coach but the surprise is on him when he finds out she is the woman he spent a weekend with three years ago and hasn’t been able to forget.
Alexandria is excited about this opportunity as she is the first woman coach in the league. She is balancing a lot as she is also trying to be there for her sisters as they deal with the grief of losing her mother and stepfather. She knew that Roman was on the team but she didn’t think he would remember her but she is about to find out how wrong she is.
The chemistry and connection between Roman and Alexandria is stronger than ever but they agree to keep their relationship professional until the end of the year so it doesn’t destroy their careers however that is a challenge they can’t meet. Greet chemistry, so much emotion and a love that trumps all. Stephen Dexter does a wonderful job with the possessive and protective sides of Roman while Stella Bloom brings out both the strength and feistiness of her personality.
Trick Shot is a fake dating college hockey romance with a black cat heroine and the Golden Retriever she hates to love.
Claire
I’m a journalist. I report the truth as I see it. If there’s a story, you can be sure I’m going to dig until I get every last detail. As a staffer for The Howler, Bainbridge University’s newspaper, my job is to find a lead and pursue it until I can piece it all together and publish the facts. Sometimes there’s fallout from my kind of journalism, but I’m tough and can handle it. I don’t need a hero stepping in to take the heat off me, especially if that “hero” is a man I can’t stand.
Pete Santos has been my sworn enemy since the start of freshman year. I don’t need his help. I don’t need his charm. And I definitely don’t need any more of his panty-melting orgasms.
What I need is to be left the hell alone so I can do my job. What I get is a fake boyfriend whose love feels very, very real.
Pete
Claire Fowler hates me, and I have no idea why. But I’m a smart guy, so steering clear of the woman who despises me should be a no-brainer.
It isn’t. I fall hard for Claire, and her rejection stings. So does her betrayal.
When she becomes public enemy number one across campus, I’m the last person who should be worried about her. She made it clear that what happens on vacation stays on vacation and that she’s not interested in anything else I have to offer.
But when trouble comes looking for Claire, I can’t just stand by and watch. I’m going to do what it takes to keep her from being harassed, even if that means posing as her fake boyfriend to keep the vultures at bay. But don’t worry, I won’t let myself fall the rest of the way in love with her. Nope, not me. I’m too smart for that.
Trick Shot is the fourth book in the Bainbridge U hockey series, but it can be enjoyed as a standalone. If you love a sweet cinnamon roll of a hero wrapped in the burly body of a bruiser, Pete Santos is just what you’ve been waiting for. He’s met his match in Claire, a tough-as-nails heroine with a vulnerable side she hides from everyone. Until Pete. Trick Shot will make you laugh out loud and then hit you right in the feels. Get ready for a lovable hero, the smart-mouthed heroine who hates his guts, and all the steam they generate as they fall in love.
Like a woman named Lucky Fortune who has lived her whole life plagued by one mishap and misfortune after another. The catastrophes that regularly derail her life would crush a normal person, but Lucky is stubbornly resilient.
The single constant in her life is the rustic, old ski lodge her grandparents built in a small, picturesque Colorado town. And now it belongs to her.
Lucky refuses to let her unending run of bad luck ruin the opportunity to build on her grandparents’ dream and carve out one of her own.
But forces greater than chance are out to sabotage her new life. They’re after the lodge, the land, and they want Lucky out of the way by any means necessary. Danger lurks closer than Lucky knows.
Fortunately, she’s found herself lucky in love for the first time ever, thanks to the secretive drifter she picked up and brought home on a whim. By day he plays the role of the worst handyman in existence. But when the stakes are raised, and Lucky’s life is on the line, he’ll move mountains to keep her and her legacy out of the wrong hands.
Meeting Bolan Adler, professional baseball catcher and single dad, is a complicated story.
One involving a one-time kiss when I was young and silly. And a two-time tryst as some kind of midlife breakdown moment.
Anyway, in the game of baseball, three strikes mean: you’re out.
I thought my third one might happen when Bolan Adler is the newest client of the sports management agency I work for.
The same business that just promoted me to agent status when I haven’t asked for the position.
Also, the ridiculous company that wrote up a reputation repair report for the newest member of the Chicago Anchors which includes:
Bolan Adler needs a wife.
He’s decided I’m it. Only this isn’t a game of tag.
Hearts are on the line when I meet Bolan’s sweet sixteen-month-old, and my role goes from babysitting the bad boy of baseball to bonus-mom for his precious daughter.
Complicated, like I said.
Add in when my fake husband starts tossing out real emotions about love, marriage, and a baby, and I’m just hoping to stay out of the strike zone. Because the obvious opponent on the field is love.
She’s the one woman I can never have. Now, I’m the only man who can keep her alive.
Ember Being the daughter of a motorcycle club president means two things—power and protection. But it also comes with one unbreakable rule: No biker touches the president’s daughter and lives to tell about it. Which means Hudson “Atom” Addams, the club’s brooding enforcer and the man I’ve loved half my life, will never be mine. Until the Bratva rolls into town, demanding protection money. Now, my father is forcing me to accept Atom’s protection. Close quarters. Late nights. And the one man I swore I’d never beg for again.
Atom Five years ago, the woman of my dreams laid her heart at my feet. I wanted to claim her. Keep her. Make her mine. Instead, I let her go. Butcher’s warning was clear—touch his daughter, and I’d be dead before sunrise. So I buried my need for her and turned my back. Now, the Bratva is making a play for her bar. And to make matters worse, she’s got a boyfriend. I should walk away. I should let her go. But I’m not that strong. Protecting her means breaking the rules. Claiming her means starting a war. And I’ll burn this town to the ground before I let her slip away again.

Fallen Hearts Cissy Mecca Publication date: March 13th 2025
Rule one of the Bachelor Pact is simple: Never fall in love.
Temporarily returning home to Cedar Falls comes with mixed emotions.
But having to work alongside the distractingly beautiful Pia, hired by my father before his unexpected death to run and restore my family’s inn, is a test I could do without.
I don’t need help, especially from a stranger whose delectable body is inviting me to forget the most important rule of the Bachelor Pact.
I learned early on to avoid attachments, and Pia is completely off-limits. I’m technically her boss. Working together to renovate the crumbling inn, I try to shield my heart and ignore my body’s traitorous responses.
But Pia’s laughter fills the dusty halls, melting my defences and testing my iron-clad resolve. As each day passes, the thought of returning to my old life as a cop in the city and leaving Pia becomes more and more difficult.
Now, with my future and an age-old promise on the line, I’m left wondering if I should finally crack open the door to love I sealed so long ago.
Pia has overcome so much to reach this point in her career so while saddened by the passing of her new boss she isn’t about to just walk away. After uprooting her life for his opportunity, she is determined that the heir to the business, Mason, will honor her contract and she will show him how invaluable she is.
Mason is devasted by the loss of his father but his life and his fulfilling career as a police officer are in New York. His plan was to honor his father’s dream and return to his life but the more time he spends in Cedar Falls with Pia the more he is forced to reconsider his plans especially when it comes to the pact he made with his friends.
Not only are the characters of Pia and Mason captivating but I am looking forward to his friend’s stories as well. This is a heartwarming story about love, family and realizing what and who will truly make you happy.
🏒Review🏒 Molly’s brother plays for the Redville Saints and Hudson is one of his teammates. Not only didn’t they get off to the best start, but it hasn’t gotten any easier. Keeping their distance seems like the best plan but things never unfold as you expect, and they now find themselves trying to deal with an impromptu marriage that neither wants but that no one else can know about as well.
Hudson hasn’t been able to forget his first meeting with Molly or the difficulties it causes with the team. Since then, instead of things improving they seem to be going downhill. When he finds himself unexpectedly married to her their first impulse is to end it but the more they learn about each other the more they second guess that decision.
The interactions between them are humorous as they know exactly what to do and say to get a reaction from each other. As Molly begins to open up to him, he is supportive and protective as he shows her that she can count on him to be there for her.
Sawyer Munroe is a charismatic ex professional bull rider and the heart of Magnolia Ranch. Ever the life of the party, he knows how to have a good time and live in the present, never one to dwell on tomorrow’s problems.
When Ruth, a Hollywood socialite with a love for nurturing horses back to health, is hired to help him care for Magnolia’s neglected animals, the two strike up a fast friendship. Little do they know what lies ahead…
Without much to distract the pair after hours, and with sparks simmering under the surface, Ruth and Sawyer agree to a no-strings relationship. After all, what’s the harm in a little off-duty fun?
As casual turns into something much deeper, neither can bring themselves to admit what’s happening. Sawyer believes Ruth is too good for him. She’s a glamorous Hollywood princess who leads a very different life. How could they ever make it work?
When Ruth’s father shows up on the ranch, pushing her back toward California and her roots, she faces an impossible choice: return home to her only family or stay at Magnolia Ranch and risk everything for the one man who could truly break her heart.
Can Sawyer and Ruth open their hearts to each other before it’s too late, or will they keep running from the one thing neither of them knew they needed?
Ride Me Cowboy: Magnolia Ranch Cowboys is the final book in the Magnolia Ranch series.
🔹Review
After his career as a bull rider came to an end, he found a place to call home at Magnolia Ranch. He was enjoying his single life and preferred to keep his relationships casual but when Ruth comes into his life, she has him wanting things he never expected.
Ruth has found a sense of contentment and fulfillment when it comes to the people at the ranch as well as her work with the horses. She may have feelings for Sawyer, but she also believes that her time at the ranch may be limited and she must choose between the life she wants and the life others want her to have.
The chemistry between Sawyer and Ruth was never in question however both were cautious when it came to the emotional connection between them. Everyone in their lives knew they belonged together and I enjoyed seeing them realize it as well.
Meet Cute or Your Money Back, an all-new grumpy/sunshine, opposites attract, matchmaker rom-com from USA Today bestselling author Katana Collins, is coming June 4th!
I know what women want in a man and they pay me a lot of money to find it for them.
With the help of my fellow ex-special forces brothers, I opened up a matchmaking business where we use our military skills to help our clients find The One. And it turns out a little military strategy goes a long way.
I treat each new client in my matchmaking business like its own mission. And I’m proud to say that I have a one hundred percent success rate.
Or at least I did. Before Allie Larsen entered the picture.
She’s smart. She’s beautiful. She’s charming…
… and she’s impossible to please.
But when it turns out Allie has secrets she’s been keeping, she not only jeopardizes her own matchmaking mission, but she puts both our lives in danger.
Except this time, it’s not only my life at risk… it’s my heart.
When they said, “All’s fair in love and war,” I’m not sure this is what they meant.
A WINDING WAVE OF MAGIC
Nicole French
Release Date: April 11
WILL BE AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED
He was fae. I was sure of it. A sorcerer, full of cool, clear-eyed control, looking for a seeress to read thoughts and tell the future. And he was here for me.
Four months from starting a quiet teaching career, Cassandra Whelan receives a message the disrupts everything. Her beloved grandmother has been killed, and she’s given Cassandra the strangest inheritance ever: the family beach house, a centuries-old secret to protect that seems suspiciously like Pandora’s Box, and a coveted position on the council of the magi: the mysterious governing body of the fae world, which Cassandra knows nothing about.
After all, it’s hard to care about your magical powers when they never do anything but misbehave.
Now, to avenge her grandmother and protect a legacy that has cost her family everything, Cassandra must embark on a new kind of education: one that teaches her how to become the most powerful seer of a generation, even if other fae don’t believe she can do it.
Fae like Jonathan Lynch, an enigmatic (and somewhat grumpy) sorcerer-shifter sent to guide her on her new path.
With every passing day, Cassandra comes closer to full manifestation, when she can take her seat on the council—unless, as she suspects, they are hiding their own terrible secret.
Love, hate, and lies. It seems everyone in the fae world has a hidden agenda—and who better to find the truth than the most clairvoyant seer of a generation?
If, that is, she can finish her training alive.
Addictive and action-packed, A Winding Wave of Magic is a gorgeous, soul-searing, and surprising romantic fantasy!
A note to readers: Parts of this book were previously published under the Nicole Demery as novellas in The Magi Series. While the story is at its heart the same, large portions of the book have been edited, rewritten, and reconfigured. The story also includes an additional 50,000 words that were never published and provides an end to this story. I hope you enjoy it!

“I need to talk to you,” he said as soon as he reached me, his hands grasping for mine as I glanced around.
There wasn’t much of a crowd at the moment, which I was grateful for, but the few people waiting on their to-go orders were definitely watching us with interest. Matthew created a scene everywhere he went, and the restaurant was no exception.
“No thanks,” I responded, feeling a little embarrassed at the intimate knowledge he now held.
It was going to be this big deal between us—it always turned into a big deal.
“We need to finish our conversation.” His thumb started making small circles on top of my hand.
“We don’t really need to have a conversation about it at all,” I said, shaking my head. “Especially not here.”
Matthew continued holding my hands. His were so big and all-encompassing, the same way that he was. “You’re right,” he agreed a little too easily. “Let me take you out tonight. A real date. I’m ready to move past the friend zone.”
He still wants to date me?
“You’ve been in the friend zone for five seconds.”
My anxiety actually started to ease. Instead of making me uncomfortable, like he tended to do, he was having the opposite effect.
“Five seconds too long if you ask me.” He grinned. “Come on, Bells. Let’s stop playing this game.”
“What game?”
“The one where you pretend you don’t want me just as much as I want you.”
“I never said I didn’t want you. I just said we don’t know each other anymore,” I clarified because wanting the man was not the issue.
“You were willing to get to know that stupid fireman on a date. Why can’t you do the same for me?”
Dammit.
That was actually a fair point.
He released one of my hands and poked the side of my head with his finger. “I can see your wheels spinning. Give me one date. If it’s awful and there’s nothing between us, I’ll leave you alone.”
I had to stop myself from laughing hysterically. As if there’d ever be nothing between us. At least not on my end. I wasn’t sure how to not have feelings for him.
“Two first dates in one day? That’s gotta be some kind of record.” I laughed, but Matthew was not amused. His jaw flexed before he leaned closer to me, his lips at my ear.
“I’ll make you forget all about that other guy. Say yes, Bells.”
I sucked in a breath before finally caving. Denying him was exhausting. And to be honest, I wanted to go.
“Yes,” I said.
Matthew’s smile took up his entire face as he dropped my other hand and pumped a fist in the air. “I’ll pick you up at seven. You’re not working, right?” He glanced toward the bar, where Anna was still trying to eavesdrop.
“I have the day off.”
“We’ll mourn the loss of the glasses later,” he teased.
I instantly wondered how many Anna had broken today. “She broke another one?”
“One that I know of,” he said before giving me a kiss on the cheek. “Dress for the resort. That’s where I’m taking you,” he instructed before disappearing out the door as quickly as he’d come through it.
That man was something else, making demands and then disappearing before I could even agree or argue.
BLURB:
Crushing on Matthew O’Grady didn’t work out very well for me in the past. When he left Sugar Mountain for the NHL, he took my hopeful teenage heart with him. I was crushed beyond repair, and he never even knew it. But now he’s back in town, working at the resort his family owns and coming into my bar every. single. shift. He claims to want me, but a guy like Matthew doesn’t want any one woman for long.
Bella Sanchez is an absolute smoke show. I know I have a reputation of for being a playboy; the kind of guy who sleeps around with no strings attached. But that was the old me. The new me is back home in Sugar Mountain for good and looking for all the strings. The only problem is, Bella doesn’t believe me when I tell her I want her.
But I’m a stubborn man, and I won’t stop chasing her until she’s mine.

“Why didn’t you come home when you finished college if the lodge was so important to you?”
I dropped my hand and let my forehead hit the window. The glass was cool, but it did nothing to temper the fiery anger still surging through my blood from dealing with the sheriff.
“I ran into a bit of bad—”
“Luck.”
I blinked in surprise when Risky finished my sentence for me. I saw him smirk out of the corner of my eye.
“I’ve noticed that’s your default explanation for everything that goes wrong. Big or small. It’s nothing more than luck. Somehow, the power going out and someone taking a shot at you are equally unlucky.” He turned his head slightly to give me a pensive look. “I think your perception might be off.”
I laughed for real this time and held up my hand and started ticking things off on my fingers. “I was born to parents who act like they’re on perpetual spring break. The first time my grandpa tried to teach me to ride a bike, I broke my arm. On my first day of school, I got attacked by a loose dog and ended up needing twenty stitches. The first time I went camping, I fell into a patch of poison oak and nearly died from an allergic reaction. I got lost in a blizzard when I was ten and had the state’s search and rescue teams out looking for me. I thought it would be fun to join a sport in middle school. I played one game of soccer and left the game with a broken nose. I got this truck for my birthday when I was sixteen. Thank God my granddad knew I needed a tank because the first time I drove it without him supervising from the passenger seat, I ended up in a multi-car pileup on the pass. And don’t get me started on my love life.” Because that was where things had really turned into a train wreck. The situation with Baker had been enough to turn me off of dating for the rest of my life.
“But I want to ask about your love life. I’m curious if there’s anyone you can think of who might want to take a shot at you.”
I frowned and shifted on the hard seat uncomfortably. “You don’t think it was a wayward hunter?”
He gave me a look that indicated I shouldn’t ask dumb questions that I already knew the answer to.
“I only have one ex capable of hurting someone. But his target was never me. It was himself.” I shuddered as memories of the bloody night broke free from the chains I’d kept wrapped around them. “He’s no longer a threat to anyone. He died.”

A sexy, small-town, grumpy-sunshine romance by bestselling author Stacy Travis
Ever heard the one about the rom-com princess who gets swept off her feet by her fake fiancé?
Yeah, that’s not my story.
I’m an actress whose reputation is currently circling the drain, thanks to a string of public relationship disasters. All I want is to adopt a baby and leave my tabloid trainwreck days behind me.
When the adoption agency doubts my ability to provide a stable home life, I agree to a fake engagement with a guy who screamed “PR-approved.”
Easy enough—until Archer Corbett blows it all to pieces.
He’s a broody, hockey-playing winemaker who makes grumbling an art form. He also hates my fake fiancé—pretty sure “douchebag” was in there somewhere—and doesn’t care who knows it. But when Archer rescues me on the side of the road and keeps me safe, I discover there’s more under his scowl than grunts and muscles.
A lot more.
Turns out, Archer has a guarded heart, a fierce loyalty to his family, and a self-sacrificing streak a mile wide. He’s also infuriatingly hot—and impossible to resist. One stolen kiss turns into carwash-steamy nights and a bond I didn’t see coming. But there’s a problem: he doesn’t want kids, and I can’t imagine a life without them.
Our lives don’t fit together. Our dreams are miles apart. But what if Archer’s exactly what I need to rewrite my story? And what if I’m the one to thaw his frozen heart?
If only this were a movie, I might get the happily ever after I’ve always wanted.
Love You Always is a standalone romance with a HEA, and it’s the anticipated final book in the Buttercup Hill series.

Stacy Travis writes spicy small-town romance about bookish, sassy women and the hot heroes who fall for them.
Writing makes her infinitely happy, but that might be the coffee talking.
She’s worked as a journalist, camp counselor, TV writer, SAT tutor, corporate finance researcher, education technology editor, and non-fiction author. When she’s not on a deadline, she’s in running shoes complaining that all roads seem to go uphill. Or on the couch with a margarita. Or fangirling at a soccer game.
She’s never met a dog she didn’t want to hug. And if you have no plans for Thanksgiving, she’ll probably invite you to dinner.
Stacy lives in Los Angeles with her two sons and a poorly-trained rescue dog who hoards socks. And she’s serious about the Thanksgiving thing.
💜Review💜 The one thing standing in the way of Ella fulfilling her dream of becoming a mother is her public reputation. She decides to take matters into her own hands and marry not for love but so she can adopt. The only part she hadn’t planned on was Archer.
All Archer wants to do is ensure the success of the winery for his family. When he meets Ella, he believes she is a spoiled socialite but when he finds himself forced to spend time with her not only does he realize he couldn’t be more wrong, but he can’t imagine a future without her.
Ella and Archer were so much fun together as the more they tried to deny their feelings for each other the deeper they fell. I enjoyed seeing these two people who thought they were content being alone realize how wonderful life and love could be with the right person.
