  Not all players deserve a second chance… no matter how hot their first chance was. 

Football club lawyer, Santino Rossi is known in the locker room as the two-month chump. For years he’s been on a mission to find someone he can share his basil plant with and cure him of his former playboy ways. 

Tilly Logan is a fiery, Scottish lass who didn’t bat an eye five years ago when a smoldering Italian pulled her into a nightclub bathroom. He was dark, dangerous, and exactly the good time Tilly was looking for—even if he worked for her over-protective brother’s team. 

But a lot has changed and when Tilly returns to London five years later only to find herself trapped in an elevator with the smoldering Italian, it isn’t a happy reunion. Especially because her brother blames Santino for her high tailing it back to Scotland in the first place. 

Tilly doesn’t want a replay of past mistakes and reconnecting with Santino is playing with fire.

But if they keep their relationship a secret, it could be worth the burn.

My review: 5 stars!

WELL. Many thanks to Penny Reid for another installment of my beloved Cletus Byron Winston and his bride-to-be Jennifer Sylvester. What an utter delight Marriage and Murder was! I never used the highlight feature on my Kindle as much as I do when I get to get in Cletus's head.

"Who says I expect you to think straight? Let's think crooked."

"But then a short woman baker blackmailed me, distracted me, and changed my life and my heart forever with a dark chocolate confection she'd called compassion cake."

"No mentally healthy person would be able to chitchat with a pair of cold, hard man nipples at their eye level."

"Wearing coveralls meant I could ask them to do messy deeds. What good were groomsmen if they couldn't do messy deeds?"

And the best, most swoon-worthy....
"Every day, I want you to know that I would marry you, that I love and adore you no less but always more than the day before."

I adore Cletus and all his plotting and his dubious morals, although we've seen such character growth from Cletus since we met him in Beard Science. I love seeing what Jenn does to him- what having her in his life means. He's a much more settled and rational Cletus, although still insanely intelligent and intuitive. I adore seeing how much Jenn has grown away from her controlling parents and the effect the entire Winston family has had on her. She's simply delightful and SO FLIPPING STRONG! And we are certainly treated to some steam in this installment- thank goodness Cletus and Jenn finally got some alone time!

I am a big fan of suspense being rolled in to my romance, and Marriage and Murder certainly checked that box. It was twisty and turny and, although I hate to say this about murder..... fun. Solving for Pie is such a great series and I can't wait for the next book!

Cover Reveal: Hard Luck by Sara Ney

 

Hard Lucky by Sara Ney

Release Date: March 25

SOME GIRLS HAVE ALL THE LUCK

Unfortunately, I am not one of those girls. Not when I lost my apartment because my roommate let the lease lapse while I was traveling for work. Not when my brothers keep finding love and my mother keeps reminding me I’m still single. Not after a one-night stand during my older brother’s wedding has me waking up pregnant. 

I have to keep it a secret—from him, and my family. I sure can’t tell my brother his teammate, Mateo Jose Espinoza, is the man I slept with. Confident, funny, Mateo… 

A GUY CAN’T CATCH A BREAK

Just when I thought I’d found the girl of my dreams, she ghosts me. Worse? Her brother refuses to give me her number, and my calls to her office go straight to voicemail. I thought I was a catch; professional athlete, charming, raised with six sisters—I’m a guy who knows his way to a woman’s heart! What reason could she possibly have for avoiding me?

When I finally catch up to True Wallace, I’m going to get the answer.

Cover Reveal: From the Embers by Aly Martinez

 

Our love was born from the embers, and together we would go up in flames.

From The Embers, an all-new standalone catastrophic romance from USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez is releasing April 28th, and we have the gorgeous cover!

In the aftermath of tragedy, it’s strange the things you remember.
The deafening boom as the house exploded.
The paralyzing fear as I searched for my wife.
The blinding smoke burning my eyes as I carried her out.

But carved into my soul for the rest of my days would be the earth-shattering realization that the woman in my arms wasn’t my wife.

Bree and I were the only survivors—not that either of us were truly living after that night. As a single dad with nowhere else to go, I moved into her guest house. And somehow, through the guilt and grief, we forged an unlikely team.

It took years, but I watched the gradual return of her smile—slow and life-altering.
The two of us could sit outside for hours, talking about nothing, and it filled the massive hole in my chest with new life.

I may have carried her out of that fire, but the truth was, Bree saved me.

As we healed, the secrets and lies of the past smoldered in the ashes, threatening to ignite again.

Our love was born from the embers, and together we would go up in flames.

New Release: Bad Boy Billionaire by Amie Knight

 

Title: Bad Boy Billionaire

A Cocky Hero Club Novel

Author: Amie Knight

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: March 7, 2021

Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward are excited to bring you the Cocky Hero Club: original works from various authors inspired by Keeland and Ward's New York Times bestselling Cocky Bastard series.

BLURB

Dear Ida,

Never in a million years did I think I’d turn to an advice column for help, but I’m stuck. Moving to New York is my dream come true, but the big city is a tough place to navigate for a small-town, southern girl like me. Luckily, fate sent me my very own knight in shining armor.

Only Whitaker Aldrich didn’t ride in on his white steed to save me. He picked me up on his Harley Davidson, wearing a leather jacket and sporting a cocky smirk that doesn’t bode well for my man free diet. He screams one-night stand.

But there’s so much more to him than that bad boy billionaire persona. He's thoughtful and kind and his six-year-old son is his entire world.

That twinkle in his brilliant green eyes makes me weak in the knees and I’m terrified that I won’t be able to protect my already bruised heart. I should probably say no when he asks me to be his nanny, right?

Yeah, getting involved with Whit would be a huge mistake.

I should definitely say no. Maybe... Possibly?

Help!

Yours truly,

The Billionaire's Babysitter

Bad Boy Billionaire is a billionaire/single dad/friends to lovers romance inspired by Stuck-Up Suit.

My review: 4 stars

I have always enjoyed Amie Knight's writing and was excited to read her addition into the Cocky Hero Club. It was fun to revisit characters from Stuck Up Suit and I thought she did an excellent job weaving the character in to her new story, but it's really not necessary to have read Stuck Up Suit to enjoy Bad Boy Billionaire. Grace was such an adorable southern girl but she was finding it hard to settle in in New York, so it was so sweet to see her bond with Whit and his son Andrew. The dialog and banter between the main characters was fantastic and their chemistry was apparent. Once we got to know Whit he wasn't much of a bad boy after all- he was pretty amazing and an all-around great guy. The ending of this book made me smile so big- what a great epilogue!

New Release Review: The Wedding Game by Meghan Quinn

BLURB:

USA Today bestselling author Meghan Quinn’s latest bauble is the charming story of a crafting queen battling a jaded divorce lawyer on a wedding reality show.

Luna Rossi is a veritable crafting genius—she can bedazzle and bead so hard her Etsy site is one of the hottest in the world. So it’s only natural that Luna would convince her brother and his husband-to-be to compete on The Wedding Game, a “do-it-yourself” TV show, for the title of Top DIY Wedding Expert.

As a jaded divorce lawyer, Alec Baxter scoffs at weddings and romance. But when his recently engaged brother begs him to participate in The Wedding Game, Alec grudgingly picks up a glue gun and prepares for some family bonding.

Both fierce competitors, Luna and Alec clash on national TV as harsh words and glitter fly with abandon. But as they bicker over color swatches and mood boards, they find themselves fighting something else: their growing mutual attraction. While Luna is torn between family loyalty and her own feelings, Alec wonders if he might have been wrong about love and marriage all along…

My review: 4.5 stars!

I LOVE competition reality shows (I need the show in this book to be real!) and the premise of Meghan Quinn's The Wedding Game was so fun! It was filled with Quinn's trademark laugh-out-loud humor and so much emotion. Witty banter abounds, and once the slow-burn romance heats up, the steam does as well. I adored Farrah, the heroine's roommate, and am hoping we might get to see more of her in a future book.

EXCERPT:

“Are you ready?” Farrah says, coming from behind me and massaging my shoulders. I move my head side to side while we both hop up and down. “Did you do those finger exercises I told you about?”

I flex my fingers and nod. “Yup, all warmed up.”

“Do you have your game face on?” Farrah spins me around and grips my shoulders as I mean mug it at her. “Ooo, you’ve been practicing in the mirror. I can tell.”

“When I brush my teeth. I really feel like I’ve mastered the scowl.”

“Honey, you mastered the scowl years ago. Now you’re just coming into your own with it.” She holds up her hands, and I start boxing into them as we leap around the apartment. “Quick on your feet, quick on your feet.” Farrah swings her hand at me, and I duck. “Focus, hone your attention.”

“Focused.”

“Tell me, who’s going to kill it today?”

“I am.” I bob back and forth and then give Farrah a one-two punch to her hands.

“Who’s going to do anything necessary, even sit on someone’s face if you need to, in order to win today’s challenge?”

“I am. Show no mercy. My a$$ is coming for your face.”

Farrah pauses, winces. “I’m not sure I like that.”

“Just go with it.”

“Okay, Luna’s a$$ is coming for your face.” She shrugs. “Next week let’s work on your trash talk.”

“Might be necessary.”

Circling again, I box at Farrah’s hands, feeling light on my feet and ready for anything that comes my way. “You’re going to ignore all conversations from Mr. Snobby Shoes.”

“I don’t even know he exists.”

“Your eyes are on the prize. And what is that prize?”

“Giving Cohen and Declan the best wedding possible.”

“Exactly.” She lowers her palms. “Quick, flash me your hands.”

I lift my hands, and she inspects them carefully.

“You lotioned—good. Nails are clipped to a perfect length, and those fingers are stretched and strong. Rotate your wrists for me.” She lowers her ear to my wrists as I circle them around. “Perfect, no cracking, no tension.” She points to the ground. “Fast feet.”

My feet start bouncing up and down, like in those football movies, and I hold my hands at my hips, ready for the call . . .

“Draw!” Farrah shouts.

I pull my glue gun from my hip and point it at her. “You’ve been glued.”

Farrah claps her hands. “Reaction time was spot on. You’re ready.”

“Yeah?”

She nods. “You got this, girl. This competition is yours for the taking. And remember what we talked about: don’t focus on what you think will win . . .”

“Focus on what will bring Cohen and Declan joy.”
