Sneak Attack- Review!!

BLURB:

𝑨 𝒔𝒏𝒆𝒂𝒌 𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒃𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒊𝒓𝒍 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒃𝒓𝒐𝒌𝒆 𝒎𝒚 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕, 𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒎𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏…

I might have made it as an NFL quarterback, but I was still me—still living in my hometown north of Nashville and tackling being a single dad. The media assumed I wore a halo beneath my helmet, but they didn't know my tragic past. I was no angel.

Because the only woman I ever truly loved was the girl who stole my heart when it was committed to another, and I never recovered from the mess we created.

Seven years is a long time to wait for a second chance. I tried to move on and live without her. Now, Eden's returned home to haunt me all over again, making me feel all the things I can't deny when she's near.

She might have her running shoes strapped on tight, but I'm desperate for her to stay this time. In order to do that, I need to find a way for us to put the past where it truly belongs, buried six feet deep with the person whose death still stands between us.

I didn't become one of the best in the league by playing it safe. Eden's always been mine, and it's time she finally learns it, too.

My Review:
My Rating: 4 Stars

Eden ran away from Marysville 7 years ago and is now returning to take care of Marley, an old neighbor and someone she deeply cares about fighting against an illness. She does not want to make a wave in Marysville since the last time she was there a huge mess was created with Cole and no matter how long ago it was Eden can't forget what happened that night. Cole is a quarterback for the Nashville Steels and is currently living in Marysville. When the two come face to face in the small town the sparks are still there stronger than ever, but Eden can't forget the role she plated in their past. Can Cole help her forgive them for the things in the past or will she run away again after she's not needed to help Marley?

This was a great book. It was hard in some parts for me with the way Eden helped take care of Marley. I l loved that Cole kept fighting for Eden even when it was against Eden herself. The two's relationship was more complicated than I thought based off the blurb, but it was beautiful. Eden had to learn to forgive herself and learn that it's okay to let people in. I loved meeting some of Cole's teammates and can't wait to read about their stories. Cole was patient and sweet and went after the woman he loved. Honestly if you are looking for a book with depth, overcoming obstacles, sexy times and a hero who will stop at nothing to get the woman he loves back then this is the book for you.

Dissolution- Release Blitz and review!!

Dissolution by Rachel Van Dyken is now live!

BLURB:

A mafia romance about family, loyalty, and love, Dissolution is the powerful conclusion to #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken's Eagle Elite series.

"There is always a beginning—I will be their end."

For ten years the Cosa Nostra has ruled with an iron fist in Chicago—their reign is about to end, and I'll be the one to bring them down.

One more job for the Italian Americans, and I'm done.

Except this "one job" involves saving the boss's brother and sister.

When things go horribly wrong, and a price is put on all of our heads from my Family back home—I'm forced to stay in Chicago, offer not just my gun but my protective services to the young girl I saved while also making sure nobody touches her.

Myself included.

My own Family has splintered.

Half want me dead, half want me alive, and the only people willing to protect me are the very ones I hate—her included.

I'm the Grim Reaper of the Sicilian mafia, and I bow to no one, not even her, so when she asks me to teach her to fight, when she tells me she wants to be made, I give in just so I can piss off the bosses.

Only I made one mistake.

I protect her from the world.

But who protects me from her?

One more battle remains between the families in Italy and in the States.

One more battle where I'm torn between both sides.

And I'm left protecting the one girl who has the potential to wreck us all.

It all started a decade ago at Eagle Elite University—the beginning.

It will end on the streets of Chicago—with me as the end.

I, Santino Sinacore, am their end.

**This may be the end of the OG Eagle Elite, but it is NOT the end of the Eagle Elite World!**

My Review:
My Rating: 4 Stars

Santino Sinacore is done with the mafia life, but he has to do one last job to do for the Chicago mob, the five families of the Cosa Nostra. Andrei Petrov's sister has been kidnapped and Santino is in charge of rescuing her in order to gain his freedom back. When Santino finally reaches Katya, he expects to just save her and be done, however the bosses make him protect Katya and keep her safe while the Italian Mafia and the five families battle it out for power.

This is the 12th book in the Original Eagle Elite series and while it technically could be read as a standalone, as Rachel does a great job at summarizing everything that happened in the other books, you do miss a lot of important character development by not reading the other books. Katya has had a rough life and is closed off at the beginning, but she wants vengeance for her twin. Katy has decided she is a warrior and will survive no matter what she has to do to succeed. As she gets to know Santino the two bond as he teaches her about the mafia and self defense. Santino does not like the five families and just wants out, but as he spends more time protecting Katya he is forced to get to know the five families and realize the stories he heard about them aren't true. Now he has to decide if Katya is someone he wants to stay close with or if he will leave this life forever. This was a fast paced book with some steamy scenes thrown in. Honestly, I love that when you read one of Rachel's mafia books you can see she really pours her heart and soul into it.

Compel-Release Blitz and Review!!

Compel by Rachel Van Dyken & Patti Stanger is now live! From #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken and bestselling author Patti Stanger comes a gripping love story of cursed soulmates who are forced to relive tragedy over and over again until their curse is broken…

BLURB:

Compelled to seduce, designed to kill.

What do you do when your love destroys the only person you are designed to be with?

For centuries I've been trapped in a curse with my soulmate, only she has no idea… until history finally repeats itself.

The Matchmaker of the Fae felt wronged when we both chose our own destinies, and now, we're forced to relive our fate over and over again.

I try like hell to fix the curse, but I remember nothing after each death, only that I'm lonely and heartbroken.

The small town of Orca Cove, Oregon, doesn't help matters.

Filled with paranormal lore from all over the world… if anything, they're just as trapped as I am.

My only help is the large library on my estate.

If I can just find the notes I know I would have hidden, along with texts, maybe this time will be different.

The house groans with need for its mistress.

My heart breaks with sorrow that she doesn't recognize me until it's too late.

Her blood will always be on my hands, just like her heart is in mine.

The path to your soul mate isn't a fairytale—at least ours isn't.

My Fae queen thinks she's nothing more than a normal college student. She believes that the world is just as she sees it, without a clue that the darkness lurking in the shadows, the man she'll fall for once again, the man who will be her demise…

Is me.

My Review:
My Rating: 4 Stars

Cursed Soul mates. Supernatural creatures. Small town. Death. Love. Hope. Angst. In Rachel Van Dyken and Patti Stangers book we get all of the above. Benjamin has been cursed to live on Earth and never grow old or die. Instead he is cursed to find his soulmate only to be ripped away again and again. Though he tries to fight the curse each time he never seems to be able to break it, except maybe this time it might be different.

Rachel and Patti do a great job creating a world where you can lose yourself in and feel like you know. I think if the duo continues this series it could be a great one, however I would have liked to see Benjamin and his soulmate more in the present time, but there was quite a bit of their past lives that I enjoyed like seeing the two of them fall in love. I felt this book could have been split into a duet because there were many parts in the second half that I felt could be expanded. I am intrigued to see if they continue this series because now that most of the world building is done they can focus on the relationship aspects more. I may add more to this after thinking about the book longer.

The Perfects!! Release blitz and review!!

Everything was perfect.

Until it wasn't.

The Perfects by Rachel Van Dyken is now live!

Find out what happens when their perfect image breaks in #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken's steamy new adult romance.

BLURB:

Everything was perfect.

Until it wasn't.

Until my family took on a foster girl and placed her across the hall from me. A charity case to look good and a person who should have never existed in my world.

I kissed her to get her to stop talking, and then I kissed her again because I liked the taste of her words--I liked her.

It was our secret until we got caught--that night changed everything.

We became strangers living in the same house, seeing the same ghosts of our past mistakes, but I can't stop thinking about us, about those forbidden moments.

I pretend to hate her, I tell her I'll never forgive her, and then Quinn, my ex-best friend, steps into the picture. I can't tell if he actually likes her or if he has a death wish and just likes pissing me off, but what do I say? Stay away from my foster sister?

She's mine?

I've already had her?

Saying that to him would expose what we were and ruin everything.

We're all three of us living multiple lies, and eventually, I know our ivory tower of perfection is going to come crashing down.

He knows my secrets.

I know his.

And now she knows both.

She wants.

He wants.

But I always—always get what I want.

And what I want is the girl, no matter what it may cost me.

My Review:

My Rating: 4 Stars

Ambrose has the "perfect" life as captain of the lacrosse team, good looking and rich. That is until his parents took in a foster child Mary-Belle. The two quickly became more until they get caught and then everything changed. Now they have to deal with their new normal. Ambrose pretends to hate her until his ex best friend Quinn starts hanging around her, then Ambrose has to decide if he wants to keep playing this game as all of their secrets come out.

I really enjoyed this story, however there was a few things that felt rushed or under developed. I will say I liked reading about the forbidden relationship between Ambrose and Mary-Belle. I liked how Mary-Belle didn't back down and stood up for herself. She counted on herself and tried her best to be the best version of herself. She wanted to protect those she cared about. Ambrose went through a lot in his life, but learned he had to be true to himself. There is definitely angst, suspense and spice. One of the things I love about Rachel is that she doesn't back down from tough subjects and she puts in trigger warning if you need them. I also love that she adds resources to help.

The Godparent Trap- Release Blitz and review!!

The Godparent Trap by Rachel Van Dyken is now live!

BLURB:

Life's Too Short meets The Unhoneymooners in this sparkling, steamy, and swoon-worthy novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken, in which two sworn enemies must share house, home—and maybe their hearts—when they become co-parents after a sudden loss.

Colby's living her best life: as a popular food blogger, she gets to fulfill her dreams of exploring the globe. But her world comes crashing down when a tragic accident leaves her co-guardian of her best friend's two adorable children. Not only does she need to put down roots—fast—but she'll be sharing custody with the one man she can't stand sharing a continent with, let alone a house.

Accountant-extraordinaire Rip values rules and plans. But when he loses his sister and his best friend and becomes an insta-guardian all in one night, Rip sees his organized life imploding. What he really doesn't need is his sister's irresponsible, flighty—albeit kind and gorgeous—best friend making it worse.

Rip doesn't trust Colby to take their new responsibilities seriously, while Colby can't believe Rip thinks children will thrive under his rigid control. Yet soon Rip and Colby discover they need each other more than they hate each other. Could it be possible that following their hearts is just what their new little family needs?

My Review:

My Rating: 3.5 Stars

Colby is a popular food blogger, who is enjoying traveling around the world trying different foods. Rip is an accountant and a guy who likes things organized and wants the perfect life. When Colby finds out her best friend, Monica, and her husband, Brooks, died in a horrible accident Colby ends up thrust into the role of raising her best friend's two kids. The only problem is she has to share custody of the kids with Rip, who is Monica's brother and Brook's best friend.

Colby and Rip can't stand each other, but will have to learn how to get along while raising two kids. It was interesting to see how Rip changes from the beginning of this book to the end. I felt the end was a little rushed, but wrapped up all of the storylines nicely. This book will definitely remind some people of the movie Life As We Know It as the premise is very similar, however, Rachel puts her own spin on the godparent roles and the storyline. Honestly, I really enjoyed how Rachel balanced some of the heavier themes in this book with some fun and light moments with the children.

Shot Taker- Release Blitz and Review!!

Shot Taker by Stacey Lynn is now live!

BLURB:

A week away for my brother's wedding was supposed to be a chance to unwind, not get tangled up with a bridesmaid…

I have an injury that could end my career— and unless I’m ready to hang up my skates and become a hockey has been, the only thing I should be focusing on is getting healthy and playing my next season.

Kimmy saunters into my life at the worst possible time, but when she proposes a “what happens in Vegas” type situation, I figured what could it hurt. Especially when we’re both on the same page—one week and then we go our separate ways… three hundred miles apart.

Before I know it, I’m all wrapped up in her—and not just her body. Her smiles. That wild, untamable hair. Her laughter. Confidence. Hell, she’s everything I’ve been looking for and I can’t keep my hands off her.

It was supposed to be a fling, but now I want more. Even if it means I’m in for the fight of my life. This might be my only shot… and I’m taking it.

My Review:
M Rating: 3 Stars

Max is a hockey player for the Las Vegas Vipers and is trying to enjoy a week long vacation for his brother's wedding. He is trying to take it easy after an injury and just enjoy spending time with his family and thinking about his future. Kim is the bride's cousin and the two are as close as sisters. Max and Kim decide to have a no strings attachment since Kim lives in California and Max lives in Vegas, but as the week goes by the two get to know each other better and Max wants more. Can he convince Kim that they can make this work?

This was a cute story, but did not have as much hockey in it as the others in this series. You can read this book as a standalone even though it's the 4th book in the Las Vegas Vipers series. I liked that Kim knew what she wanted and was a very strong female character. I also love how Max had such a soft side but could be an alpha when needed. This is a very light read with little angst that will have you wishing one of your family members were getting married on a private island.

Office Date- Release Blitz and Review!!

Office Date by Rachel Van Dyken is now live!

#1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken delivers an over-the-top, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy with this hilarious, standalone new adult romance.

BLURB:

I've known Jack my entire life.

We went from being high school enemies to making out one fateful night at college to him being a giant D and making me cry.

Now we're both interns at the same company.

Mortal enemy interns.

So when the chance pops up to finally beat him at something, to land my dream job plus a bonus? I don't even blink.

I'm in. All in.

I mean, how hard can it be?

The managers say it's like the Olympics for interns. All we have to do is play a few silly

games, and if we win--our futures are unicorns and free wine for all.

The only problem? Jack's my partner, and in order to win, we will have to get along.

As the stakes get higher, so does the heat, and damn is he hot when he's... never mind. I can focus. I can totally focus and not make out with him or end up in his bed--again.

I can do it.

For the sake of my career, I can do it.

I just need a blindfold, sage, and a lot of prayers.

My job is the only thing I have right now. My focus is strong.

But when that stupid guy smiles, all I can think about is that one kiss, followed by the second, and I wonder if my priorities are in order or if I'm falling for the enemy once again.

My Review:

My Rating: 4 Stars

Max Emery is back with his evil genius self. Max is CEO and has his interns play games for permanent jobs with high perks. Ivy is one of the interns along with her old childhood neighbor turned crush turned almost something more turned to enemy again. The only problem is that Ivy is partnered with Jack, her mortal enemy. This years theme for the Emory games is "Office Date." The two interns have to do different crazy tasks and try to get the most points to win. Jack and Ivy have to learn to trust each other as they play the game, but as they learn to depend on each other will something more happen?

I enjoyed the light and fluffiness of this book. It's the perfect book to take with you to the beach and just read and relax as you read about the chaos that ensues between Ivy and Jack and Max with his cousin Dustin who is trying to keep him in line. I love Rachel's mafia books, but sometimes I just need a light hearted romantic comedy and this definitely hit the spot.

Rule Breaker-Release Blitz

Rule Breaker by Stacey Lynn is now live!

BLURB:

Spending the night in jail isn’t exactly how I planned to spend Christmas, but I’ve had worse holidays…

Now that I’m out, it’s time to accept my real punishment. Coaching ten-year-old terrors on the ice, in my non-existent free time. My Coach thinks it’d be good for me. Remind me where I came from. He should know I’ve tried every day of my life for the last ten years to forget.

The youth hockey league is a hell I didn’t plan on and the worst penalty possible…

Until the day a sweet, single mom cracks a joke about her kid, and then all bets are off.

I’m the best defenseman in professional hockey, but I didn’t see her coming… now what in the hell do I do? I’m not equipped for a relationship. I’m definitely not ready to have a kid depending on me, but I can’t deny she makes me feel things— want things I never imagined I could have.

I should save us both the trouble and stay far away from her. But rules were made to be broken, and I was never good at following them anyway.

My Review:

My Rating: 4 Stars

This is the third Las Vegas Vipers book, but can be read as a standalone. Dominick is a pro hockey player who tends to keep to himself. He will go out occasionally with his teammates, but not very often. Dominick ends up getting arrested around Christmas time and his coach decides to help with his public image that he will coach a youth hockey team. Holly is a recently divorced and single mom who is doing her best to raise her enthusiastic hockey loving son, who just needs some confidence and good coaching to be a decent hockey player. After seeing Dominick with her son, Holly can't help but want to know more about the new coach and his past. As the two talk during Hockey practices the more chemistry keeps coming out. Now Holly has to decide if she wants to take a leap of faith while still dealing with her jerk of an ex husband and Dominick has to decide if he wants to open up and show the world who he really is.

This was a cute, hockey romance that has some angst and some definite heat. I love how Stacey made Holly cautious and how we see Dominick opening up to those around him. I have read the past two Las Vegas Viper books and cannot wait to read more about Dominick's teammates.
