_______________________________





The Guy in the Middle by Kate Stewart 4 stars


Such a little tease! 😉 Kate Stewart threw me under the bus in this one (as a little tart!). I won't hold it against her, I laughed my butt off after screaming like a banshee. All name drops aside, The Guy in the Middle is just the start of Lance's story. Kate, the evil tease, has more instore for us. So I'm impatiently waiting for my ever after...I mean, Lance's ever after. 


Arena Lights by Mandi Beck 4 stars


Yes, yes, yes! I am all for the hockey hottie chaperone. I may be channeling my inner Millie but I will own it. Arena Lights has my attention. I am definitely down for all Benny has to offer...I just wish there was more. Call me greedy! I will own it. I love these two and want to see this thing out...including a certain older brother having his day! Here's hoping Mandi decides to give us more later!


Body Heat by Rochelle Paige 3.5


It seems Rochelle Paige wants to show us both sides of the athlete coin. The dirty arrogant slimy ones and the perfection we all dream about! 😉 I completely agree that the latter is just what the doctor ordered and so we need to protect that...with any means necessary. (Bigger, more dramatic winky face!) Hella hot and not afraid to use his "gifts" this athlete has a LOT to offer!


Guys Like You by Charleigh Rose 4.5


I have to be honest, I love when the girl is hard to get! I love the push and pull. I love when a guy is smitten. Guys Like You...are hard to come by! Well, the new improved post Halston...you. I swooned...and laughed my butt off. 


Fast Break: A Hoops Novella by Kennedy Ryan 5


It is completely without surprise that Kennedy Ryan just made a half court shot one armed without looking. Don't believe me!?! Read Fast Break! This quick hitting novella packs a punch. Fast foot work and some serious skill has these two in a full court press. Shes wary and he wont back down. Its beautiful, touching, and of course (said in a "duh" tone) full of the feels! I need tickets if this team continues to win. Kennedy Ryan has me wanting to relocate and just take in all the awesomeness of these couples. I am completely smitten with the Hoops team.


End Goal by Ella Fox 3.5


Looks like Ella Fox is teasing us too! End Goal isn't the end at all but the beginning, or should I say continuation of something special. Tense situation and terrible circumstances bring them back together but readers will enjoy the animosity while fighting the fall.


The Teaching Hours by Sara Ney 4 stars


Rex Gunderson. REX. GUNDERSON. R-E-X. G-U-N-D-E-R-S-O-N. Legit...Rex. Wow! I didn't see that one coming but boy was that fun. Sara Ney gave us back the douchebag! It's funny because when the books started I wasnt sure who was the bigger d-bag. Lol. Her or him!?! Guess you will need to see what kind of woman it takes to snag Rex Gunderson. (Still shaking my head but smiling like a loon!)


A Slice of Love by Teagan Hunter 4 stars


In case you missed the memo and/or haven't read any of her books...or book titles for that matter, Teagan Hunter is funny. Her oddly, endearing titles make me giggle but A Slice of Love is adorably sweet with a side of hate to love you! Enjoy the humor in even the worst situations Teagan style. With a slice!


Love Game by Emma Scott 4 stars


You don't have to know anything about tennis to feel Love Game. Emma Scott will have you fighting all your feelings. You will be zinging back and forth (like a tennis ball) between irritation, compassion, lust, and desire. There might also be frustration, anger, and plain need to wring a neck or two but in the end this game will leave you smiling!


Holt's Story by Meghan "You're gonna hate her" Quinn 4.5 stars


Evil tease. Wicked...I can't. I tried but even if I want to say terrible things about Meghan Quinn because she baited us...I can't. She's just too sweet. I have an irrepressible addiction to the men she writes. I swear she has a Becky-so-horny meter. She knows what I need, what I want, and then gives it to me in the shape of a V...I mean a baseball hottie- although all Vs were appreciated and lovingly worshipped in this novella. Holt is a keeper. Harmony is a fiery femme fatale.These two are going to burn the world down with their chemistry and we are going to beg to be a part of it. I have no shame in this. We just need to keep Meghan alive and healthy until she gives us our Holt-uation. (You know continuation but with Holt...If I have to explain it, it's not as awesome!)



Dear Ava by Ilsa Madden-Mills 4.5 stars

Wow! Talk about hard hitting and in your face. Ilsa Madden-Mills didn't hold her punches in Dear Ava. She starts with a wallop and keeps them coming. Yes, it has a sensitive nature and it is handled with respect. I am so excited and sad at the same time. I'm excited because eventually we will get more Ava and Knox but I'm sad because my greedy little heart wants it now! Have no fear though, they already have a HFN. I just can't help my grabby hands clawing for more!


So many teases and so many more additions to my TBR. I'm a team player so I have no problem with that. I just need the patience of a saint now...

About Mandi Beck:

It was then that she graduated to writing her stories on her phone and then finally on a proper computer.

A wife, mother to two rambunctious and somewhat rotten boys, and stepmom to two great girls away at college, she shares her time with her husband in Chicago where she was born and raised. Mandi is a diehard hockey fan and blames the Blackhawks when her deadlines are not met even though her favorite hockey player calls her…mom.

About Rochelle Paige: 

I absolutely adore reading—always have and always will. When I was growing up, my friends used to tease me when I would trail after them, trying to read and walk at the same time. If I have downtime, odds are you will find me reading or writing.

I am the mother of two wonderful sons who have inspired me to chase my dream of being an author. I want them to learn from me that you can live your dream as long as you are willing to work for it.

When I told my mom that my new year's resolution was to self-publish a book in 2013, she pretty much told me, "About time!"
