✔️small-town romance

BLURB:

Love was a losing battle for this country music darling and a single dad, baseball star until one night brings them together and one small town sets the field for a possible winning streak.

They call me Lady Boss. Maneater. Queen. But beneath the makeup, blond wig, and glitzy costumes, I’m just a country girl who likes to sing. I don’t hate men, I’m just struggling to find a good one. I’ve learned my lesson. Fool me once, and it will never, ever happen again.

So I’m baffled when I meet Ford Sylver.

A superstar in his own right as centerfielder for the Chicago Anchors baseball team, plus a single dad to three adorable little girls, we share a moment when I save his firm backside and pretend he’s mine. Something that he can never be.

Only, when he suffers a season-changing injury and I need a place to disappear, we both end up back in Sterling Falls, where I’m suddenly and unwittingly his nanny.

There’s danger in having a wild side. I’ll try anything once. However, forced into close quarters with Ford, acting as his personal nurse, and caring for his three little ones might backfire. Because I’m staring at all I ever wanted and never thought would happen for me.

After losing at love in the past, could I finally be on a winning streak?

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I’m loving this series!!!

We know from previous books that the Sylver kids didn’t have an easy life for the most part growing up. They’ve all dealt with this different and it’s moulded them into who they are today.

Ford reacted by doing his damndest to get out of Sterling Falls and be the best baseball player he could be. For the most part he succeeded but he kinda forgot about the people who shared that upbringing with him and who looked out for him, to the point that his personal life has now imploded and his family know nothing about it.

Cadence (Cait) also didn’t have the best family life growing up, which we kinda know from her sister Enya’s book. Her parents (her father in particular) think the worst of her while having nothing to do with her and people she trusted have let her down to the point she trusts very few people and holds her cards incredibly close to the vest. She’s got Enya but her big sisters’ life just reinforces Cait’s realization that she’s missing out on something she so desperately wants, even if she won’t admit that fully to herself.

This pair met when they both needed to escape who they were and what was going on around them. Both back in town for a family event they forged a connection that first night that only grew as the book progressed.

I adored Ford’s girls, they were such a great part of the story.
Cait, the gods I felt for her. She was harder on herself than others at times, understandably hesitant to trust due to her past, so when she put her trust in him it was heartbreaking to see that trust mishandled a few times by Ford!
While his actions and comments could be attributed to what was going on at the time I honestly wanted to shake him as I was so frustrated by his lack of thought and his reactions on occasion.

I loved watching they progress from friends to something more, the slow burn was necessary and for me added to their story. The epilogue, catching up with our last two couples and seeing the Sylver siblings continue to rebuild their relationships were all so good.
I’m really looking forward to Clay’s book.

This is a really good series that I most definitely would recommend.

RELEASE BOOST – The Copper Valley Fireballs ~ The Complete Series by Pippa Grant

Jun 6

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Title: The Copper Valley Fireballs
The Complete Series
Author: Pippa Grant

Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: May 30, 2024

BLURB

Meet the Copper Valley Fireballs, baseball’s lovable losers whose hot heroes are determined to turn this team around and resisting finding love along the way!

This box set includes four full-length romantic comedies and a bonus novella.

About the books:

Jock Blocked is a home run of a feel-good romantic comedy featuring the world’s most superstitious sports fan, baseball’s oldest virgin hero, a rogue meatball, an adorable puppy with a cussing problem, and a happily ever after more satisfying than a game-winning grand slam.

Real Fake Love is a line drive straight to the heart featuring a grumpy athlete, a jilted bride, a fake relationship, and the world’s laziest cat. It stands alone and comes complete with sibling rivalry, the world’s most awkward shower scene, and a sweetly satisfying happily ever after.

The Grumpy Player Next Door is a fun-filled enemies-to-lovers romcom featuring a ray of sunshine on a mission, an athlete who’s only grouchy around her, and an epic prank gone wrong. It stands alone and comes complete with small-town shenanigans, a goat who’s not nearly as wise as his name suggests, and proof that sometimes, love is the best kind of vengeance.

Irresistible Trouble is a hilarious grand slam of a romcom about a baseball player whose ego is catching up to him, a pop star who’s a bit of a hot mess when the cameras aren’t looking (and sometimes when they are), and the kind of family and teammates that everyone deserves… in small doses.

Have Yourself a Grumpy Little Christmas is a hit of holiday sweetness featuring a grumpy retired baseball pitcher who hates the holidays, his best friend’s little sister, and a Christmas tree mishap.

Before I know it, I’m emailing the agency, getting paired with a woman twelve-years my junior, and trying desperately not to act on the attraction between us. But we’re both wearing rings, and she’s changed her last name.

TANNER

The summer before my senior year of college, I made the biggest mistake of my life. It wasn’t falling for my best friend’s little sister when I knew she was off-limits…it was leaving her behind thinking what we had was nothing more than a fling. Her pained cries as I walked away have played on a loop in my nightmares since that day. In the years that have passed, there hasn’t been a single achievement I’ve celebrated that wasn’t tainted by her absence. But now, it’s time. I’m going to get my girl back…no matter what it takes.

GRACE

Five years ago, I spent a whole summer learning, exploring, and falling in love with my lifelong protector. His future was bright, and as he broke me into a million pieces, he made sure I knew there wasn’t a place for me next to him under the bright, stadium lights. That girl who waited and hoped for him to come back is gone now, but just when I think I’ve moved on and created a life of my own, a ghost from my past reappears, determined to make things right. Tanner Lake may have once been everything to me, but those days are long over, aren’t they?

From New York Times bestselling author Lexi Blake, discover The Park Avenue Promise Series…

Three young women make a pact in high school—

to always be friends and to one day make it big in Manhattan.

My Royal Showmance

Anika Fox knows exactly where she wants to be, and it’s not on the set of a reality TV dating show. She’s working her way up at the production company she works for and she’s close to achieving some of her dreams. The big boss just wants one thing from her. She’s got a potential problem with the director of The King Takes a Bride and she wants Anika to pose as a production assistant and report back.

As the king of a tiny European country, Luca St. Marten knows the world views him as one of the pampered royalty of the world. It couldn’t be further from the truth. His country is hurting and he’s right there on the front lines with his citizens. When he’s asked to do a dating show, his counselors point out that it could bring tourism back to Ralavia. It goes against his every desire, but he agrees.

When one of the contestants drops out at the last minute, Anika finds herself replacing the potential princess. She’s sure she’ll be asked to leave the first night, but Luca keeps picking her again and again. Suddenly she finds herself in the middle of a made-for-TV fantasy, and she’s unsure what’s real and what’s simply reality TV.
