About JUST PLAYING FOR KEEPS (Coming 6/3/2026):

Ever hear the story about the dating coach who got dumped on the hockey arena’s jumbotron?

Everyone did. But I lived it. Including the moment when Lake Axelrod, the team’s broody, tattooed right winger, swooped in on skates to rescue me from public humiliation.

Even more surprising? When the famously grumpy (and ridiculously sexy) hockey star insists on being my fake boyfriend for my sister’s high-profile wedding.

It’s the perfect plan. His family stops pressuring him to settle down, and I’ll get the ultimate revenge, since my ex is the best man. Bonus – I might even salvage my professional reputation.

We need rules though.

To pull this off, everyone from his teammates to my boss has to believe we’re a real couple.
That means swoony touches and knee-weakening kisses are required.
When it ends, we walk away.

But the intensity in Lake’s eyes after every post-game kiss makes me wonder if he’s pretending. With each whispered secret, the line between fake and real bends. Until it shatters one night in a hotel room.

Soon, he isn’t just playing the protective boyfriend—he’s the only one who truly sees me.

If I’m not careful, I’m going to break the most important rule of all: don’t fall for your fake date.

About NIGHTS WITH HIM:

I didn’t know who the smoldering man in the expensive suit was that first night.
Only that he was commanding.
Intense.
And exactly what I needed to forget my heartbreak.

But there’s no forgetting him the next day when Jack Sullivan walks into my office.
Philanthropic billionaire, brilliant businessman, my brand-new client…
And off-limits in every possible way.

We should have walked away.
Instead, we made a new arrangement.
Thirty nights. No promises.

Just stolen moments in penthouses, in Paris hotel rooms, on Manhattan balconies.

But the deeper we go, the harder it is to pretend this is just physical.
Because when Jack starts to share the things he loves with me—the symphony, books, late nights exploring the city—he’s impossible to resist.

And the more nights we spend tangled in pleasure, the more he owns my once-guarded heart.

Soon, I start to believe in something more.

But Jack doesn’t do love.
His past still owns too much of him.
And no matter how deep we fall, some risks feel too impossible to take.

Unless I can convince him that what we have is worth breaking every rule.

Tropes: Tortured hero, mistaken identity, starts with a bang, one night stand, billionaire hero, no strings romance, forbidden romance

About FORBIDDEN NIGHTS:

My best friend is gorgeous, wildly successful, and loves to spoil me. He’s also sworn off love.

Which is why Nate Harper is the perfect man to help me.

I’ve spent my life being in control. Now I want to learn how to let go, and Nate decides he’s the only one who can teach me.

If anyone can show me how to surrender, it’s my confident, outrageously flirty friend.

The deal? No strings. No feelings. No risks.

As we travel to London, New York, and decadent tropical islands, he proves just how good giving in can feel.

It’s only an arrangement. Nothing more.

Except now he’s looking at me differently.
Touching me like he doesn’t want to stop.
Kissing me like he wants these late nights to keep going.

And suddenly, what started as casual feels a lot like something real.

But his scars run deep.
His heart’s on ice.
And our friendship means too much to risk it.

Unless I can convince him some things are worth the fall.

Tropes: Best friends to lovers, lessons in seduction, best friend’s sister, he’s rich and generous

My review: 5 stars!

I adore full-cast audiobooks, and I was so excited to see that both of the books in Lauren Blakely's Joy Delivered series had been revised and re-recorded in full-cast form! Both both are fantastic stories and the narrator performances are so so good! The full-cast narration adds so much to the books and no one does casting as well as Blakely does. Her choices are always perfection!
