Hold Me Tight by Jennifer Sucevic is now live in audio!
Narrated by: Vivienne LaRue & Grayson Owens
A steamy single mom, enemies-to-lovers, best friendโs ex, pro hockey romance from USA Today and Amazon Top 26 bestselling author Jennifer Sucevic.
I swore Iโd never fall for another hockey player. Not after Zane. My ex and the father of my daughter.
But when I need a place to stay, River Thompson is the one who opens his door. My exโs teammate and best friend. Completely off-limits. The man who looks at me like Iโve always belonged to him.
Thereโs just one catchโฆ I have to share his bed.
Living under the same roof makes it impossible to ignore the way heโs been quietly biding his time. Heโs patient, protective, and determined to prove heโs not like the man who broke me. And the way he is with my daughter makes it even harder to guard my heart.
Every night I spend in his bed, the slow burn between us threatens to ignite.
Trusting River means risking not only my heart, but my daughterโs too. The scariest part?
Iโm starting to believe he might be worth it.
Hold Me Tight is a best friendโs ex, enemies-to-lovers, slow-burn pro hockey romance with a hero whoโs been biding his timeโand a heroine afraid to trust her heart to the wrong man again.
๐งReview๐ง River has had feelings for Callie for a few years and even the fact that she was dating his teammate didnโt diminish them. Since that relationship ended he has been waiting not so patiently for her to let him into her and daughterโs life and when that happens he is going to show her that he is the man she and her daughter Nora deserve.
Callie is struggling both personally and financially when her daughterโs father walks out of their life especially when she has to see him move on with other women. She doesnโt believe she is ready for a relationship with any man let alone a hockey player who is on the same team as her ex but with everything that River does and says she realizes that all hockey players are not created equal.
River is a man that any woman would be lucky to have in their life. Not only he is swoony and protective but the relationship he shares with Nora will melt your heart and no one deserves happiness more than Callie after everything she has been through. Vivienne LaRue did an amazing job at portraying the emotions that Callie was feeling while Greyson Owens performance will not only touch your heart but make it race as well.

SIRE is the Devilโs son. And my pastor, my hot, handsome gift from God.
He rescued me from hell, his Iron Angel, and saved my innocence, so now he must take it. I insist.
Brutal, bloodthirsty, and beautiful, Sire is a man of god, but an escaped mafia prince when he leaves the pulpit, avenging the crimes of his Bratva father. A father who hunts him. Who hunts us.
I donโt care how young I am, how he resists me, or how forbidden his needsโฆ Sire will be my first, my forever, my sacred sinner. I will be his wife and youngest queen.
His brothers, his kings, will initiate me. I want to belong to them. I crave their taboo rituals. I will earn my throne.
Damned and divine, together, our love will be stronger than any evil. But can it survive the Evil that is coming for usโฆ
Authorโs note: SIRE is a not-mafia-mafia romance set in a world of taboo traditions, biting banter, morally grey heroes, and lovable heroines, within a vigilante band of brothers, exploring some heavy themes and featuring very explicit scenes. This is an interconnected, standaloneโthe third in the Belles & Bratva Beasts seriesโwith a guaranteed HEA.
๐คReview๐ค Sire is a pastor who would do anything for those he cares about and has a dark past. He has taken it upon himself to help women who find themselves in a situation that no one should have to endure. When he rescues Wren he knows he should keep his distance in part because of the age gap and in part because he is dark and she is light, but she doesnโt agree.
From the moment that Sire came into her life Wren knows that he is her destiny. She is determined to show him that they are kindred souls and is willing to fight for the future they could have together. She isnโt about to back down from anyone or anything and that includes accepting all sides of the man she has come to love.
Both Sire and Wren are captivating characters. The banter between them is entertaining, the chemistry explosive and she is his equal in every way as even though she may appear docile she is a force to be reckoned with which is exactly what he needs.

๐น๐ฐ๐ซ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ ๐ป๐ฏ๐ฌ ๐บ๐ป๐ถ๐น๐ด (The Wildhaven Series: Book 2) by Amber Kelly releases on November 14th. Check out this sneak peek!
My eyes land on a visionโdark hair tumbling in loose waves down her shoulders catching the sunlight as she moves. Her jeans fit like they were made for her, hugging strong legs that grip the saddle with firm control. Her white ruffled blouse is tucked in at the waist, the fabric soft and feminine, a stark contrast to the worn, rugged leather boots on her feet.
Her cowboy hat sits low on her brow, shadowing sharp, determined eyes as she guides the horse beneath herโevery movement fluid, confident, commanding. The reins respond to the slightest shift of her wrist, the horse reading her with ease. Thereโs power in her posture, elegance in the way she leans forward, coaxing the animal into a perfect turn.
I watch as she leads the horse to the gate, unable to look away.
She dismounts and then pats the horseโs muzzle and speaks softly to it before setting it loose. Then she exits the arena and heads to where weโre standing. Stopping at Mattyโs side.
โCharli, Iโd like you to meet Bryce Raintree,โ Matty introduces. โBryce, this is my sister Charli Storm. Sheโs the head horse and riding trainer here at Wildhaven Storm, and sheโs the one youโll be working with and answering to while youโre here.โ
Answering to?
I let the question slide as she outstretches her arm and I take her offered hand.
โBryceโyour ward, apparently,โ I clip.
Her eyes narrow slightly at my comment.
โCharli, and Iโm nobodyโs babysitter,โ she says.
โYeah, well, thatโs what the hell it sounds like to me,โ I say, swinging my eyes back to Shawn, who just shakes his head.
โIโm sorry, ladies. Ryโs not usually this impolite. Heโs just being an a$s because heโs mad at me. Heโs not exactly enthusiastic about the direction his career is veering toward and apparently blames me instead of the doctorsโ sound medical advice. But Iโm hoping that heโll come around after youโve had a chance to work with him, Miss Storm.โ
Charli steps forward, and her sapphire-blue eyes home in on me. โIโm not your enemy. Iโm here to help you.โ
I laugh. โContrary to what Shawn has told you, I donโt need help. I just need time.โ
She clicks her tongue. โLetโs get one thing straight, Raintree. You do need my help, and Iโm not here to be your whipping post. So, whatever frustration you have with your predicament, you need to point it elsewhere. Iโm not gonna put up with a shitty attitude. Iโm here to work. Youโre here to work. And as long as you do that, weโll get along just fine. You show up late or hungover or if you half-a$s it, Iโll put you on the next plane back to wherever the hell you came from. But if you listen and follow the program I put together, Iโll teach you how to stay on a bronc and maybe save your career. Fair?โ
Teach me how to stay on a bronc? I have to hold back my laughter.
โGuess weโll see,โ I say.
She smirks. โIโve broken harder men than you, cowboy.โ
My gaze goes to hers.
โAnd how do you know how hard I am?โ I ask.
Shawn chokes beside me, and all our eyes go to him.
โSorry.โ He coughs as he beats on his chest.
Charli looks over her shoulder. โMatty, show our guest where to drop his bags.โ Then she swings back around to me. Her eyes flicker with challenge. โWeโll get started after lunch, Mr. Raintree.โ
โBryce. But my friends call me Ry.โ
โGreat. Bryce it is,โ she quips. โYouโve got an hour. Weโll start with groundwork.โ
โGroundwork?โ I echo, incredulous. โIโm not some f*cking rookie.โ
โGood. Then prove it.โ
Blurb:
I train horses, not broken men. Thatโs what I tell myself the day Bryce Raintree walks into my arenaโcocky, bruised, and dragging his ego behind him like itโs been trampled in the dust. Heโs a bull rider whoโs lost his edge. His team sends him to me to get it back.
He doesnโt like being told what to do, especially not by a woman like me. But under all that attitude, thereโs a storm brewing. And I canโt seem to walk away.
Iโve spent my life in the saddle, doing what needs to be done after losing our mom and stepping up on the ranch. I donโt fix cowboys. But maybeโฆ I donโt have to. Maybe heโs not the only one who needs saving.
A hockey player and former figure skater get a second chance at love in this hot sports romance from a USA Today bestselling author, perfect for fans of Hannah Grace, Elle Kennedy, and Grace Reilly. ย Zoe Carson, former figure skating queen, needs a fresh start as a hockey skating coach. An NHL gig with the New York Legends is her big chance. Unfortunately, that means facing off against the star player who broke her heart ten years ago.ย ย Chase Merritt knows his game is off, and heโs on the verge of losing sponsors. But he doesnโt need the ice princess from that intense college summer showing up and telling him what heโs doing wrongโeven when sheโs right. ย On the ice, theyโre magic. Off the ice, theyโre nothing but heat and stubbornness, and everyone on the team is enjoying the show. But when an old video of Zoe and Chaseโs figure skating routine goes viral, theyโre forced to work together more intimately than ever before. Can the two get it right this time or will the whole world watch them crash and burn?
๐Review๐
After a successful figure skating career Zoe has transitioned into coaching and has been hired by the NY Legends to help the players fine tune their skating skills. This job is everything that Zoe has wanted but it also means that she will need to work with her first love and the animosity between them hasnโt diminished over time.
Chase is a professional hockey player whose reputation needs some help but the last person he wants to help him with it is Zoe.ย ย A decade earlier their relationship did not end well, and they each hold the other responsible.ย ย Forced to spend time together when they are convinced to skate together both for charity and to help with his reputation truths are revealed that change everything.
I enjoyed seeing Zoe become the strong and independent woman she was meant to be while Chase made peace with the past both when he and Zoe were together and when they werenโt.ย These two have always belonged together and I enjoyed seeing them finally find their way back to each other.
