BLURB

Why strive for perfection, when love is anything but?

Kelsey

I thought I had it all figured out. I finally decided on a career and was making it work. Or so I thought. Until I messed up. Again.

Now, I have one final chance to make my dream of being a wedding planner a success – Plan my cousin’s wedding to her billionaire quarterback fiance.

But there is just one problem, Jason Collins. The stubborn, infuriatingly frustrating, and impossible-to-resist brother of the groom. My complete opposite.

Apparently, in the small town of Brightwood, where the wedding will be held, it’s Jason who is in charge.

In charge of the landscaping company, in charge of the wedding design, and in charge of me.

Or so he thinks…

This is it. My make it or break it moment. And I won’t let anyone get in my way.

Never fall in love with a client.

One of the cardinal rules of matchmaking that I was positive I’d never break.

That is until Nathan Wilder walked into Love Moore Matchmaking Agency, needing my help to find him the one.

A tall order to ask since he was the most hated man in the NHL.

Right from the bat, every fiber of my being told me he’d be trouble.

He wasn’t looking for love.

It was all a PR stunt to clean up his image so he could keep playing for The Boston Guardians.

But there was something in his sad eyes that just pulled me in, forcing me to agree to this whole charade.

Little did I know that in my quest to find him love, I’d be the one falling head over heels for him.

Not exactly very professional.

Argh.

I’m so screwed.

How can I possibly find Nate his perfect match when I believe him to be mine?

Perfect Pucking Match is a hockey standalone romance with a guaranteed HEA.

When I score the promotion of my dreams and my boss tells me to become best friends with the new head coach of the Vegas Aces, I do everything I can to prevent the inevitable from happening.

The Vegas Aces could’ve hired anyone as their head coach. Despite my protests and warnings, they chose Lincoln Nash.

With a family rivalry spanning two decades, I’ve been conditioned to hate the entire family. But there’s a special passion to my hatred for the new coach. He was my first when we were teenagers, and then a few days later, he broke my heart.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

RIVALRY

I’m not a fan of cliff-hangers and having never read Lisa’s books before I wasn’t expecting that here…. BUT…. Ms Suzanne did a great job of holding my attention during the read that I wasn’t TOO gutted when I got to the end of this instalment!

Honestly, this book had me overthinking everything between Jolene & Lincoln, I’m itching to know what other secrets Lincoln’s dad might be keeping… as well as Lincoln himself.
What skullduggery is gonna be afoot from the camp of some competition…..

I’d love to know more about Jolene’s ex and what happened there. She’s got her best friend and her son but she seems pretty alone. I hope she’s at least honest with herself when it comes to Lincoln going forward.

For me, neither of them have really lived a life since the fateful day 20 years ago. Lincoln hasn’t got much to show outwith his career and why does his dad still have such a hold on him?

I’ve looked at the blurb for the upcoming books and I’m not sure how to feel about some things that are coming – I’ve got a feeling I might want to throw my kindle a time or two before this 5 book (how am I gonna cope?!?!?!) series comes to a close.

I’ve got my fingers crossed for our pair but I’m failing on the hope side at this point in time if I’m being honest!!

4 stars (mainly because of the cliffy ending!!)

* I would recommend that you read Penalty (free prequel to book one) to fully understand the reason for the depths of feelings between this couple!!

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

CALL PLAY

Oh the gods…… I’m not gonna get through another 3 instalments if this angst keeps up!!!!

Play Call starts where Rivalry ended and it’s another cliff hanger ending. The heat, passion and honesty (though not all their truths are revealed!!) ramp up in this instalment ….. This pair felt a heart deep connection when they were younger and now, two decades later, this connection is only more palpable.

There’s so much stacking up against them that even though they’ve admitted (at least fully to themselves if not each other) how they feel about the other and they truly want time together, it’s like fate hates them and keeps throwing roadblocks and problems in their faces.

I honestly detest Lincoln’s father and Jolene’s dad isn’t far behind in my feelings. The pressure they put on their kids, even as grown adults, it’s severe.

I felt sick along with Jolene during some of this read and I’m dreading what’s coming next…….

Another solid 4* read

BLURB

Love wasn’t part of the blueprint when high school sweethearts reunite in their small town. But this former military man never forgot the girl he left behind and he’s more determined than ever to rebuild their relationship brick by brick and heart by heart.

Getting locked in the men’s restroom during my mother’s funeral wasn’t exactly how I expected to run into my high school sweetheart. The one who got away. The one who broke my heart.

I could toss the busted doorknob in my hand at him, but I’d prefer to get the heck away. Because twenty years later, Knox Sylver isn’t a teenage boy anymore but a broad-shouldered, thick scruff man with eyes that still look at me like I’m the only person in the room.

As a newly divorced mother of two teenagers, it’s been a long time since anyone sees me. And Knox is definitely watching.

Unfortunately, he made choices in the past and I wasn’t one of them.

According to him, that is ancient history.

Also, according to him, it’s never too late for a second chance. He’s out to prove he’s solid and stable, having returned to our small hometown, in a better place after a career in the military. He’s a local hero as a fireman and he wants to rekindle the flame between us.

I’m the one with decisions this round.

Do I stay where memories hurt? Or do I leave my past, and Knox, behind me again?

BLURB:

Connor Spears is hockey royalty who most definitely never planned to accidentally marry his childhood irritation Hadley Crews.

Connor is smug, grew up destined for his hockey career, and he’s irritatingly good-looking. He was also my next-door neighbor growing up. He wouldn’t give me the time of day and made it clear he would never be friends with me, the ballerina and daughter of a baseball legend. Except for that one time. Years later, one hazy night, and now he’s apparently my husband according to the paper next to his bed in a Vegas hotel room. You would think we would have it annulled, but he needs to clean up his image, and I’m a sucker for his occasional glances.

So, we agree to stay married.

Rumor spreads fast in Lake Spark, and the responses of our parents, who are best friends, well, uh… they’re mixed. But the problem with marrying for convenience is that you discover secrets about each other. You learn things too, like how he is by far more protective of you than you thought, or how sharing a bed brings out his dominant side. The thing is, it turns out that I may mean more to Connor than he’ll ever admit. When life throws me another twist, I need a real husband to support me. And it turns out that Connor may have always been offside, waiting to win…

Connor and Hadley bring heartwarming steam to this marriage-of-convenience romance with a hint of enemies-to-lovers and a dash of unrequited love. Waiting to Win can be read as a complete standalone and is the second book in the interconnected Lake Spark Off-Season series which is a spin-off of the Lake Spark series that includes their parents’ stories. For lovers of small-town romance with a touch of hockey.

About the Author:

Evey writes heartwarming romances with steamy moments, often in small-town settings with an element of sports. An American from the Midwest, she now lives in a tiny country in Europe where it rains a lot. That is probably why she occupies her days typing away on her laptop with music on repeat and slow-roast coffee nearby. Oh, and she vows to never break up with cake.

Blurb:

Spending Thanksgiving trapped in a hotel with a man I can’t stand, really isn’t my idea of a good time, but that’s what’s happening anyway.

I’ve hated River Santos since I first started working for the airline. I was warned to stay away from him by more than one flight attendant, my best friend included. River was your typical pilot: cocky, arrogant, and left a trail of broken hearts in his wake.

At least that’s what I’d always been told. And so far, he’d done nothing to dissuade my negative opinions of him.

But one unprecedented snowstorm later and I find myself spending time with a guy I thought I knew, but didn’t really know at all. I don’t want to like him, but he’s making it difficult. And we have more in common than I ever thought possible.

What happens when you stop hating your enemy and start wanting him instead?

About J. Sterling

I’m a New York Times and USA Today best selling author whose goal is to write stories that you can get lost in. I want you to end my books with a smile on your face and a happy heart. If you can forget about the real world while you’re reading and fall in love with my characters, then I’ve done my job. A lot of what I write has real life aspects in it, but that’s what makes the stories so relateable- the fact that they could happen to anyone… and have!

I live in California with my only son, Blake. If you can’t find me sitting behind a computer screen, then there’s a good chance I’m sitting in the bleachers of a baseball stadium watching him play. I love traveling to new places, meeting my readers and living life with the Real Jack Carter. ♡

I know you have a million books to choose from and I am humbled, grateful and thankful each time you choose to read one of mine, or tell someone else to read them. Thank you for being the best readers on the planet! I appreciate you.

🎄 COVER REVEAL 🎄- NAUGHTY-ISH by L.B. Dunbar

Oct 4

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

NAUGHTY-ISH by L.B. Dunbar is releasing on November 21st. This is a naughty next-door neighbor holiday romance. We are thrilled to share the cover with you!

PREORDER TODAY!

https://mybook.to/naughtyish

BLURB:

With the name Holliday, you’d think I’d be all about the Christmas season. Most years, I am, but this one not so much. Between my ex being a real Scrooge-in-the-backside, re-entering the workforce, wrangling my two children, and evading my eight-year-old’s questions about Santa’s existence, I’m struggling to believe in the magic myself.

Enter Nick, my next-door neighbor. My very hot, single, fireman neighbor. He’s full of the seasonal spirit from hanging my outdoor Christmas lights to playing Santa for the local church breakfast.

Funny thing about Nick, he kind of resembles the man in red, in a younger, sexier, silver fox way, complete with snow in his beard but rather tight abs suggesting cookies are not part of his diet when they are a staple of mine.

Anywho, he’s sweet in a rugged sense, and if he were the man making a list and checking it twice, I’d like to be in his naughty column. Because something tells me being a little naughty-ish with Nick from next door might bring me tidings of comfort and restore my joy in this season.

When he discovers I have a seasonal list myself, he’s determined to help me accomplish all the to-dos, only falling in love with my next-door neighbor wasn’t one of them.

From L.B. Dunbar comes another SHE-grump Christmas tale of holiday shenanigans and jingling bells with a sunshine silver fox fireman.

What to expect:

✔️curmudgeon baker

✔️new woman in town

✔️fake baby-daddy?

✔️small town

✔️big family

BLURB:

Having a baby in a bakery gives new meaning to taking the bun out of the oven.

I’d been in Curmudgeon Bakery for one of those lemon baby-Bundt cakes I’d been craving since I found out I was pregnant.

The draw had nothing to do with the baker himself. Tall, tatted, and edgy, looking more like a biker than a man who makes baked goods. I hardly knew him other than taking a tumble in a rainstorm in front of his shop . . . and then tossing myself at him after he rescued me.

We shared a moment but it’s not what you’d think.

Months later, he delivered my baby among his cookies and cakes. Talk about a second chance encounter.

Then he whips up a plan to pretend to be my baby’s father, and everything heats up from there.

My body.

My heart.

My willingness to accept a perfect stranger’s kindness despite him telling me over and over he isn’t who I think he is.

I beg to differ.

He’s that sugary drizzle on a citrus-flavored, guilty pleasure that’s bad for the hips, but together—him, and me, and baby—we’re the perfect blend of ingredients that might do all our hearts some good.

Go back to Windswan? I swore I would never go back, like over my dead body never go back. Well, it turns out it wasn’t my death that brought me back to the family cottage, it was someone else’s.
