Review

Ellie works as a virtual assistant so that she can be there when her father needs her. When her boss offers her a weekend getaway it is something she could really use so she agrees. What she didn’t expect was that he would be there as well especially since she hasn’t been completely honest about who she is and not the misconception is about to deepen when

After the relationship that developed between him and his assistant Seth wants to meet the person who he works so well with. He arrives expecting to meet Taylor and instead meets his sister Ellie not realizing that they are the same person. After spending a wonderful weekend together, he wants more but will he feel the same when all is revealed.

Seth is exactly who Ellie needs in her life as he shows her support and understanding. The chemistry and connection between them was never in doubt as they take us on a touching and emotional journey as Ellie finds the love and family she has always wanted.

Jennifer Sucevic has revealed the narrators for Show Me Forever

Narrated by: Jason Clarke & Mollie Stark

Releasing: March 19, 2026

From Top 30 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling Author Jennifer Sucevic comes a steamy, pro hockey romance featuring a one-night stand, surprise pregnancy, forced proximity, and a hero who falls first and harder than he ever expected.

I thought I had Oliver Van Doren all figured out.
The Railers’ star forward with the charm of a devil, the discipline of a toddler, and a talent for creating messes I always get stuck cleaning up. We’re barely friends and definitely better off pretending the sexual tension humming between us isn’t combustible.

It’s the only explanation for how one moment of weakness turns into a night I can’t forget.
And the worst part? I can’t stop.
It’s too damn good.

Two pink lines change everything.

Suddenly I’m living with the one man who knows exactly how to get under my skin. Only Oliver isn’t who I thought he was. He’s patient. Attentive. Protective. And somehow, day by day, he makes it impossible to pretend he’s not everything I’ve been too terrified to want.

Now I can’t help wondering if what started as a mistake…
Might just be the beginning of forever.

Show Me Forever is a swoony, boy-obsessed, enemies-to-lovers pro hockey romance packed with off-limits workplace tension, a one-night stand, a surprise pregnancy, and a hero who was all in from page one. It’s book three in the Chicago Railers series and can be read as a standalone.

Blurb:

Nine months ago, I had one perfect, reckless night with Jasper Lawrence, the tall, tattooed firefighter who made me feel fearless. I told myself it was a mistake I’d never repeat.

Then he finds me at the Maple Festival… in labor with our surprise baby.

The best part? I had no idea I was pregnant.

Now Jasper is everywhere. The two of us stumble through new parenthood together. And he doesn’t just step up, he moves in. Almost. He pitches a tent in my backyard and sleeps outside so he’s never far away from us. He’s a shirtless, helpful menace who cooks, cleans, and cuddles our son. He makes me feel safe, seen, and wanted. And I hate how much I love it.

Every time I shove him away, he shows back up, golden retriever energy and all, with coffee and pastries in tow, ready to carry the baby, the groceries, and occasionally me.

I came to Maplewood, Vermont, to discover my independence. But it’s hard to keep my distance when the town’s been shaken by danger, the scars from my past refuse to stay buried, and the firefighter I should absolutely avoid keeps setting my world on fire.

Turns out the biggest threat to me in America’s most charming small town might be the man who won’t stop rescuing me.

Author’s Note: Sap & Secrets is a small-town romance featuring a curvy black cat, a tattooed golden retriever, and a (very cute) surprise baby. If you enjoy acts of service, small-town shenanigans, and maple syrup madness, you will not be disappointed.

Series Note: Welcome to Maplewood, Vermont. America’s Most Charming Small Town has some dark, sticky secrets. Come for the maple syrup, festivals, and cheese wars; stay for swoon.

🍂Review🍂
When Evie moved to Maplewood she had hopes that she would finally have a place to call home away from the people who should have supported and loved her but did anything but. Finding out that she was in labor was unexpected as was seeing that the man who had come to help is also the father of the baby she didn’t know she was having.

Jasper is a firefighter who has lived in Maplewood his entire life. Even though he may not have been looking for a relationship when he finds out that he is a father he is all in. He is determined to show Evie that he is the man that she and their child need one thoughtful act at a time.

This story has it all as Evie and Jasper work through the curveball they have both received which includes emotion, a few surprises, a little suspense as they not only find love but bring out the best in each other.

For reasons he doesn’t fully understand, he can’t seem to get the gorgeous redhead with the sad eyes out of his head. After one scorching night together, he realizes he’ll never be able to get her out of his system. But with his reputation, he fears she’ll never see him as more than a one-night stand.

Review

Javier is the playboy Sous chef at the Topped Restaurant. He had a strict policy of one and done and definitely no relationships but lately as he sees how happy his friends are with their “ones” he thinks he may be missing something.

Juliana has given a lot while she served her country and the casualties include her dominant hand as well as her marriage. She is the hostess at Topped while she adjusts to the loss of her hand and civilian life.

Javi is very interested in Juliana and they have a lot in common including the loss of her hand and the fact that his brother lost both his legs while serving. They spend a steamy evening together but this time Javi wants more and Juliana is the one walking away as she doesn’t believe that he could commit to any woman let any her. Javi is not about to let her go without a fight but who will be the winner or will it become a draw?

This author weaves a storyline that includes suspense and a few twists which never fails to entertain. Sebastian York gives extra depth to these compelling and complex characters and their journey.

PENALTY KISS

Kat Mizera

Release Date: January 26

Available in Kindle Unlimited

One disastrous season. One last chance. One forbidden woman who could cost me everything.

After getting picked up in the expansion draft, I’m determined to prove I’m not the screw-up everyone thinks I am. New team, new city, fresh start—I’ve got it all mapped out.

What I didn’t plan on was Jayne, the sweet librarian who sees past my reputation and makes me want to be the man she deserves. But when I discover her father is my new coach, everything changes.

Now I’m caught between the career I’m fighting to save and the woman I can’t live without. One wrong move and I’ll lose them both—because coach made it crystal clear: his daughter is completely off-limits.

🏒Review🏒

Bodi is looking for a fresh start to his professional hockey career when he joins the Thunder and wants to leave his last season in the past.   A chance encounter with Jayne has him wanting to spend more time with her however the fact that she is off limits as she is the daughter of the coach for the team he plays for.

Jayne can’t deny the feelings she has for Bodi, but when she realizes he plays for her father’ team she is concerned about what the effect it could have on both their careers.   Even knowing that isn’t enough to keep them apart but secrets never remain that way for very long.

Both Bodi and Jayne know that what they share is worth fighting for even if others try to keep them apart.   A secret relationship isn’t the only secret to be revealed in a story that includes friends, foes and family.

🥃Danger Lurking

Small towns aren’t meant for billionaire Movie Stars, but somehow, Sutton Silvers fits right in. I know I should ignore him, the diner regular with his easy charm and quiet intensity. He belongs to another world, one of flashing cameras, billion-dollar contracts, and fake Hollywood smiles. I belong here, in the safety of routine. In the safety of Whispers.

But Sutton sees through the walls I’ve built, through the secret past I keep hidden. He should walk away, just like I should guard my heart. But there’s something about him, the way he looks at me like I’m worth the risk, that has me wanting more.

I know better than to dream of a future with a man like him. And yet, when danger starts creeping closer, he’s the one stepping in, refusing to let me face it alone. He has a choice to leave Hollywood behind or risk it all for the chance that I’m his forever.

And me? I have a choice too.

Run again. Or finally let someone catch me.

The problem is… I’m stuck. There is nobody else for me but her. So, all I can do is wait for her to meet me where I’m at.

But when her safety is threatened, I can wait no longer. She’s coming home with me… where she belongs… where I can keep her safe. Whether her brother likes it or not.

My Kind of Guy by Sarina Bowen

Release Day: March 24, 2026

Cover Design: Elle Maxwell

He’s a backup goalie with a broken game. The only thing he needs more than a win is the hot, grumpy bartender who pours his weekly beer.

Becker James is having a spectacularly bad season. Once a top draft pick, he’s now riding the bench in the minors, one failed save away from being cut. The highlight of his week? A lonely hour on a barstool at Sportsballs, Denver’s queerest watering hole—and Forest, the bartender with flannel sleeves, a gruff voice, and a beard that stars in Beck’s dreams.

Opportunity strikes when Forest’s LGBTQ hockey team—the Stickhandlers—loses their goalie last-minute. Beck makes Forest an he’ll help them beat the most hated team in the beer league, but he wants something in return—one night together.

Cue the record scratch, because Seth Forrester doesn’t do hookups. After his last one went horribly wrong, he swore off men for good. He’s definitely not falling for the awkward hottie who just stammered through an indecent proposal.

But Beck is prepared to press his case, no matter how awkward it gets. And one beer league game turns into something messier, sweeter, and so much harder to walk away from…

https://books2read.com/falling4tflumberjackku

This is a he falls first, small town, sports romance between a football player & yoga teacher! You get a log rolling liar, grand gesture energy + a half naked in the woods Big Foot moment! Do not miss this romcom by Sara Ney!

🏈Review🏈

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 isn’t 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 hasn’t translated when it comes to romance.   She can’t 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 doesn’t know about Harris as well as their very different lives to add a little unrest along the way.
