Whitley
When Pope left our hometown my life changed. When he came back he saw his nemesis’ ring on my finger, I knew he would be angry, but people change, right?
When he found out I had a little girl, he demanded I call things off with Kal. He says he refuses to let a man like him raise his child.
I told him she wasn’t his, but he still won’t back down.
Pope
The last thing I expected when I finally came home was to find out my best friend was a single mother to a four-year-old little beauty. Especially since that best friend asked me to rid her of her virtue before I left to play in the minors nearly five years ago.
She says she’s not mine, but I know she belongs to me.
They say all is fair in love and baseball, but when secrets are revealed and truths are finally told, will he fight for a love he never expected or the game he was born to play?
Brittanee is an author who lives in Rhode Island with her husband and two children. Her town is a character in itself in all of her books.
When she is not writing she enjoys spending time outdoors by the water with her children, reading at the beach or by the pool (or really anywhere), dancing with her friends, singing Karaoke, spinning, bike riding and boating.
Some of her favorite authors are Sophia Kinsella, Elin Hilderbrand, Liane Moriarty, Mary Higgins Clark, Meghan Quinn, Daphne Elliott, Amy Alves, Claire Kingsley, Melanie Harlow, Christina Lauren, Sally Thorne and Sarah Adams. (Clearly, she has a problem and can’t pick favorites.)
Up until the moment I learned that my uncle and coach, the man I’ve looked up to my entire life, was having an affair with my best friend–the only woman I’ve ever wanted–I was a good boy. The Saint of hockey. Brooks Langfield–star goalie of the Boston Bolts and all around nice guy.
Apparently, being good is overrated because seeing Sara blindsided when she learns that the man she was dating is married makes me just angry enough to stop thinking and finally take what I want–a real shot with my best friend.
Fake dating Sara under the guise of revenge means I’m now lying to my family, fighting anyone who even looks at her the wrong way, and stealing kisses as if she’s truly mine to touch.
Now she’s the only person I want calling me a good boy and somehow I need to show her this is so much more than pucking revenge.
Author’s Note: Pucking Revenge is a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy featuring text banter from the Billionaire Langfield Brothers, a singing Boston Bolts hockey team, a cinnamon roll goalie in a friends to lovers romance with fake dating, no miscommunication, one bed, a hot tub, and quite a few ducks.
🏒Review🏒 Sara is a woman who reacts first and thinks second which is how she finds herself pretending to be in a relationship with her best friend Brooks. Finding out that the man she was seeing was bad enough but the fact that she works with him and is Brooks’ uncle only make it that much worse.
Brooks feelings for Sara have always run deeper than friendship but she that isn’t the way she sees him. As a result, he has focused on hockey until he finds out what his uncle has done and now there is nothing he won’t do to protect her and claim her as his own.
The interactions between them were humorous and you can’t help but agree that her ex deserves everything that is coming to him. I enjoyed seeing them push the parameters of their friendship and realize what they truly are to each other which is everything.

Officer Bradley Lennox, aka Nox, has been living in the shadows of his own grief since the unexpected loss of his wife. Just when he was finally on the road to recovery, they found Sadie in a motel in Ohio, causing his world to spiral back into darkness.
Concerned for their fellow Blue Avenger, his MC brothers issue an ultimatum: accept help or risk losing his job as an officer with the Shadow Valley PD and his spot on the Tri-State Federal Drug Task Force. They hope it’ll compel Nox to free himself of the heartbreak consuming him.
Then Aaliyah, a widow and single mother, takes over running the grief group he’s forced to attend. Knowing the pain of loss all too well, her determination to help Nox reignites the hope of him getting better. But it also sparks a connection he didn’t see coming.
However, their journey is far from easy.
Nox is resistant to fully embracing a new beginning, despite Aaliyah’s unwavering perseverance. To make matters more complicated, her father is the sergeant at arms for the Dark Knights MC and harbors a deep-seated hatred for law enforcement.
While Nox struggles to forge a brighter future for himself, for the task force, the stage is set for a violent showdown. A war erupts between two ruthless factions: the Deadly Demons MC and La Cosa Nostra, posing a threat to Nox’s fragile peace.
Especially when someone he cares about gets caught in the crossfire.
Note: Beyond the Badge: Nox is the six book in the Blue Avengers MC series. It’s HIGHLY recommended to read this six-book action/adventure series in order due to the continuing story arcs (subplots). However, each book focuses on a different couple who gets their HEA. This series has no cheating or relationship cliffhangers. #newrelease #jeannestjames #lawenforcement #kindleunlimited #mcromance #damagedhero #singlemom #widows #newbookalert #bookish #bookstagram #booktok #spicyromance #theauthoragency @theauthor.agency

Billy’s not my baby daddy, but he doesn’t mind pretending to be…
I’m a Division 1 cheerleader with hopes of becoming a sports broadcaster. None of my plans for college include getting knocked up by a cheating ex who just got engaged to another girl.
When my father finds out I’m pregnant, he goes ballistic. That’s when my BFF, bad boy Billy Babcock, comes to my rescue and agrees to “take responsibility.”
Billy and I solidify our contract on a napkin—he’ll pretend to be my baby’s father, and I’ll help him clean up his image. The only problem is my father, the football coach, hates Billy. He warned me off dating players a long time ago, and he thinks Billy’s the biggest player out there.
Now that we’re in a “relationship,” Billy thinks we should spend some quality naked time together, but I’m worried about crossing that line. Because athletic guys with big muscles, intricate tattoos, and sexy smirks are my biggest weakness, and Billy ticks off all those boxes.
Can my football player “boyfriend” walk the straight and narrow for me?
Or did I just get handed off from one heartbreaker to another?

And she doesn’t expect to catch the eye of a man ten years younger than her. What would he want with a single mom with a baby? Each of them holds their own pain, both fight to understand and release their past, and together the two of them discover the truth about love and family.
Author’s Note: Please visit the reading guide on the author’s website for all content warnings and other information. For Adult Readers.
🎧Review🎧 Even though it’s been a year Beau is still reeling from the aftereffects from the passing of his father. When Beck and her son Jett come into his mechanic shop, he never expected the feelings he would have her. He now needs to find a way to overcome his less than ideal first impression and show her that he is the man that she and Jett need in their lives.
Beck has recently moved to her hometown to regroup when she finds herself divorced and a single mother. She is having difficulty understanding where everything went wrong and she believes that the last thing she needs is to get involved with any man let alone one who is more than a decade younger than she is.
The chemistry between Beau and Beck was intense and they had some turmoil to overcome. I enjoyed seeing him break through her walls and overcome her reservations and the relationship that he had was Jett was enchanting. The portrayal by these two talented narrators only made the characters and the situation they were in more relatable.
The sexy single dad next door is also my best friend’s brother.
And now I’m playing nanny for his son over the summer.
It’s a good thing I’ve never been into grumpy men because Simon Stone holds the record.
If I were smart, I’d have never taken the job for Simon. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and well, I’d have taken any job that distracted me from my personal life. Plus, it meant not going home to an empty house, and that was really all I ever wanted.
What I didn’t plan for, however, was for Simon’s son to tell his football team that his father and I were dating or for Simon to need me to go with it once his own mother found out. Let’s not forget the time Simon kissed me one night in a dark bedroom, or when he watched me through my bedroom window as I… well, I didn’t plan for a lot of things. Falling for a man who swears he’ll never love again is at the top of the list.
Most of all, I didn’t plan for how life would be at the end of the summer when I went back to my empty house and my lonely life. All it took was one summer for me to fall for Simon Stone, but as it seems, if I’m not careful, that might be all I ever get.
Tropes for More Than Write include single dad, grumpy sunshine, nanny, best friends’ brother, neighbors, small town, and spice.
My name is Jami Rogers and I write fun, fast, flirty romance with heat. I love love and want to share my passion for happily ever afters with the world. My favorite tropes to write are enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, roommates, and my best friend’s brother/sister. Writing a romantic comedy that makes you laugh out loud is what I aim for. Happy reading!
💚Review💚 Simon is finding it difficult to balance the demands of his career and being there for his son Grey. Even though he has his reservations he decides to hire Greer even though the situation has complicated all over it as not only is she his neighbor but his sister’s friend as well.
Greer is going through a difficult time as she wants love and children of her own, but she is beginning to question if that will ever happen for her. The opportunity to spend time with Grey is something she doesn’t want to miss but as time goes on the biggest challenge may be protecting her heart from Simon.
Simon is conflicted as even though the loss of the woman he loved and Grey’s mother was years earlier it is still impacting him in the present. Greer is everything that he and his son need in their life, but he will have to decide if the reward is worth the risk.
