“If you only read one novel by Stephanie (though you’ll be depriving yourself if you don’t read them all), read Center Ice! The friendships, family relationships and romantic relationships suck you in.
Give me MORE!!!” ~ Early Review

” Stephanie has outdone herself with this new series filled with hot hockey players looking to prove themselves, three young owners, and as always a whole lot of steam with a generous side of hockey!” ~ Early Review

“Binged in 1 day…. OMG I love reading a hockey book by a hockey-loving author. It comes thru the pages so smoothly you don’t even realize it’s not hockey season!!” ~ Early Review

Being the center of attention is the worst but being the center of his world feels pretty damn good.

Cora Monroe has spent her life in the spotlight thanks to her family’s name, and a tragedy that devastated her. She’s always hated the attention, but never more so than when her last relationship blew up in her face, and in the media. All she wants is to lay low. But she’s at loose ends and not even her career brings her joy anymore. Until she catches a glimpse of the most gorgeous man she’s ever seen, just as the elevator doors close.

Nathan Talbot is a solid second-line hockey player who’s finally getting his shot as captain of the new expansion team. He’s determined to prove he’s up to the task of leading a team. That means keeping his attention on the ice, not on the owner’s beautiful and intriguing sister.

Once they meet face-to-face, the spark between them is instantaneous and neither of them can—or wants to—resist. But all eyes are on Nate. A relationship with him would thrust Cora right back in the public eye, the last place she wants to be. And Nate can’t afford to blow his big chance. If he was smart he’d walk away. But every time he sees her, being smart seems overrated. He just wants her.

Can Cora ignore the media frenzy and grab onto happiness with both hands or will she let the doors slide shut again and walk away alone?
 
 
🏒Review🏒
The end of her last relationship and the publicity that went along with it has only reinforced Cora’s opinion that she wants to stay out of the limelight. Getting involved with a professional hockey player is not the way for that to happen especially when her brother also owns the team.

The opportunity to play for the Denver Stampede and be their captain is an opportunity Nathan can’t pass up. From his first meeting with Cora he is drawn to her even if he knows it would be more prudent to keep his distance especially when you factor in who her brother is and the attention that comes with his career.

All the reasons they shouldn’t be together is outweighed by the reason they should which are their feelings for each other and as long as they have each other they can overcome anything that life throws at them.

Stephanie Kay has always loved a good romance, and she got hooked on the dirty ones at the tender age of 14, when she told her mother that if the cover wasn’t a bodice ripper, then there was no sex in the book. As an avid mystery reader, her mother never checked to see if Stephanie was lying. Twenty-plus years later, Stephanie’s most prized possession is her Kindle, and she may have a Hallmark movie obsession.
She lives in New England with her musician husband, energizer bunny daughter, and perfect writing companion pup. It’s a constant adventure with very little sleep.

💙Review💙
With a daughter depending on her and another child on the way Frankie must push aside her feelings for Xavier and do what she believes if best for those who depend on her. That means returning home and leaving him and the toxic environment he brought her into behind.

Xavier may have been distracted from who truly mattered with all the drama he was experiencing but once Frankie and Sofia are gone, he realizes what truly matters. He is determined to reclaim his family and isn’t about to let anyone or anything stand in his way.

I enjoyed seeing the strength and resilience of Frankie as well as seeing Xavier become the man that she and their children can count on to love and be there for them through all the challenges they must overcome.

The Setup 🎤 Available Now

The Setup by Kristen Proby is now live!

From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes an all-new novel, The Setup, in her Single in Seattle series, featuring Keaton Williams!

I’m a sucker for pretty things. Give me a roaring engine in a souped-up vintage muscle car with cherry red paint and brand-new leather interior, and that’s about as pretty as anything I could ask for. I’m a simple man, who doesn’t need or want the kind of wild celebrity that my father has. I restore one-of-a-kind vehicles and sell them to the highest bidder. Usually, that bidder just also happens to be a celebrity.

But no matter how often my cars steal the spotlight, staying out of it is my number one priority.

Which is why Sydney Sterling is absolutely out of the question.

She’s a country music superstar. She’s in the spotlight. People can’t get enough of her.

It doesn’t matter that our one night together was hotter than a full throttle muscle car, or that she’s the most incredible woman I’ve ever met.

I. Need. To. Stay. Away.

And I was doing a great job of just that until our friends set us up on a blind date, and now here I am, sitting across from the only woman who made me want more. How am I going to handle the fact that the rest of the world wants her almost as much as I do?

And do I even have a choice in the matter?

🎤Review🎤
Sydney is a country music singer who finds herself at a crossroads after her last tour. She is trying to decide what she wants in the future so she decides there is not place better to be than Seattle where she is surrounded by family and friends. The person that she didn’t expect to see was Keaton, the man she spent one steamy evening with a year earlier before they went their separate ways.

Although Keaton is familiar with the lives of the rich and famous, he has learnt the hard way that there are drawbacks to that lifestyle as well. He may be attracted to Sydney but her career alone is enough to give him pause however despite that fact the more time he spends with her the more time he wants to spend with her.

The connection between Keaton and Sydney went far beyond the physical and they were a perfect match for each other in every way. The romance is enchanting and despite the reluctance that Keaton was feelings because of her career his heart didn’t agree.

Happily Ever After is a phrase written at the end of children’s books. It creates an illusion that life is all rainbows and butterflies, but I know different.

 

Just when you think you’re safe behind your white picket fence, a monster from the past rears its ugly head and turns your perfect life into a living nightmare.

 

My goal was to live my life with no regrets, but I regret opening my heart to love. Had I followed my own set of rules, I could’ve saved Lizzie from all of this pain. Our perfect life has been shattered into a million pieces and the very love that we’ve built, now has the power to destroy us.

About Thetta James

I’ve enjoyed books for as long as I can remember. Reading allows you to expand your mind and make you say, what if? Four years ago, I became a part of the Book World as a Blogger, and The Erotic Book Review was born.

I love reading and listening to all genres, but I’m very drawn to Romance on the kinky side of things. I believe pursuing your passion brings out your creativity and allows endless possibilities to come forth. Taking a reader on a journey that forces them to crossover into your world is magic. My love for stories has inspired me to write and share my words. I hope readers enjoy them as much as I loved creating them.

I live in North Georgia, and I’ve been married to the love of my life for almost 30 years. We’re parents of 5 adults and we have 9 grandchildren. We drive a Big Rig for a living and travel the entire US. When I’m not driving, I love writing, reading, and hanging out in my Private Playroom on FB. I love meeting new people and enjoy learning about other cultures. I love watching football and binge-watching TV shows.

One quote I live by… “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending”

USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa brings us The Symphony of us, the compelling conclusion to the Requiem for Love duet. A poignant exploration of a second chance at love, Why Choose? Relationships are as exhilarating and everlasting as a melody of the past.

Love is like a drug: dangerously intoxicating and addictively powerful.

As a recovering addict, I know this too well.

But how can I do it when Sanford and Aerin, my first loves—my unforgettable heartbreak—are back?

Not only are they back, but Sanford insists Kay needs us.

He wants us to help her as we melt the shattered fragments of our hearts and become one—three hearts, one love.

I should resist them.

I understand the dangerous allure they—and love—have over me.

I can’t risk falling back into old habits, having them become my everything once again.

My love for them was my downfall, and the aftermath nearly destroyed me.

But she needs us.

And the symphony of us has begun to play its second movement.

Will it be a requiem of our past or a triumphant anthem of love rediscovered and bonds reaffirmed?

The Symphony of Us is an unforgettable journey of emotional self-discovery, healing, and the resounding power of love. This is the conclusion to the Requiem for Love duet, a finale that promises an ending that resonates with the melody of true love.

💜Review💜
The love story of Sanford, Greyson and Aerin continues and it doesn’t disappoint. The question of who wrote the expose on their past is revealed but along with that revelation we learn about Aerin.

Sanford and Greyson are beyond grateful to find her however now they must not only deal with the escalating danger but with the events that happened since they were forced apart and how it has changed them.

Everything that they have gone through is at times heartbreaking and at times inspiring. The emotional pull of this story will draw you in and have you empathizing with what this captivating trio is going through and will have you enthralled from beginning to end.

Hate Me Not ❄️ Available Now

Hate Me Not ❄️ from Claire Raye

Hate Me Not is book two of Alex and Delaney’s duet and book two in the Badger Creek Duet Series. A two-part, angst-filled, enemies to lovers, forced proximity love story. Hate Me must be read before Hate Me Not in order to enjoy the full story.

After surviving an avalanche, Delaney Hayes thought the worst of it was over. Battered and bloody, she finds herself in the middle of nowhere. Terrified for her life, she has no idea that the one person she can’t stand will be the one to save her.

And then there’s Alex Cunningham. Clinging to Delaney as the avalanche struck, he’s determined to keep her safe even if it means surviving in the remote wilderness. His first and only thought is to find shelter even if the thought of being trapped with her is difficult to take.

But as the days turn into weeks, these two enemies must come to terms with their situation, finding comfort in each other when they need it most.

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Hate-Me-Not-Delaney-Badger-ebook/dp/B09WM2VTSG

❄️Review❄️
Alex and Delaney may have survived an avalanche, but their fight is now beginning. They find themselves stranded on the mountain stuck in a sparse cabin with little in the way of supplies and the snow continues to fall.

Both of them are overwhelmed by the situation which causes emotions to flare but the more time they spend together working as team the more things change. Their forced proximity allows them to open up to each other and realize that their antagonistic relationship is just a cover for what they truly feel for each other.

Under dire circumstances I enjoyed seeing the evolution of their relationship and their characters as they realize what truly matters which is each other other and the love they share.

Blurb:
Second-chance romance only works out in movies. In real life, it’s …messy.

I don’t need a man for anything.
Love and romance? Pfft. No thanks. Never again.
Between my career as a wedding planner and being a single mother, I barely have time to think about men.
I wasn’t looking for a hero when I ended up locked outside a hotel that was engulfed in a blazing inferno, wearing nothing but a robe. I would’ve eventually saved myself. Too bad he didn’t give me a chance.
Yep, you guessed it. Luke Incendio, the sexy firefighter who came to my hotel rescue and the man who had caused me to swear off love years ago is one and the same.
Now, he says he wants to make amends. He says he’s never stopped wanting me. His words are laced in regret as he says he made a mistake.
But talk is cheap—and the tingly feelings he inspires in me are not to be trusted. Because this time around, I’m not the only one who’ll get burned if he proves to be unreliable.
And there’s no way I’m going to let that happen.

🏈Review🏈
Joss is a photographer who is unable to stay anywhere or with anyone until she gets the urge for her next adventure. While visiting her best friend she also finds herself reuniting with Colton, who she was with for a brief time in college, and she soon finds out that he is not the boy she remembers but a man she can’t stay away from.

Colton is a professional quarterback with two very different sides. There is the image he presents to the world and then there is the bad boy that not everyone gets to see. He has never forgotten Joss and he is about to show her what she has been missing when she walked away.

It was so enjoyable seeing them try to fight the feelings they don’t want to have for each other and then see them finally acknowledge what others around them already know. Due to their past their journey wasn’t without a little turmoil but that only made the outcome that much better.
