Time Out-Release Blitz and Review!

 Time Out by Stacey Lynn is now live! 


BLURB:

A one-night stand with a sexy stranger has me in over my head and calling time out…

Most of my team celebrated our Monday Night Football win with family and a few drinks. I celebrated mine with a smoking hot brunette.

One wild night of passion, with chemistry off the charts, we had our fun. In the morning, just when I was thinking of asking her for one more night—she bolted faster than I can score a touchdown.

It’s my rookie year. I’m breaking records and our team is gearing up to head to the playoffs. A Championship win is the only thing I’m focused on. Until my one-night stand shows up at my doorstep on Christmas Eve and drops a present in my lap that turns my whole word upside down.

Maggie’s pregnant. And the baby is mine. My teammate’s think she’s after my multi-million-dollar contract, but I believe her. Either way, I’m not the kind of guy who walks away from his responsibilities.

Now Maggie’s living under my roof and getting under my skin. I want her close so I can take care of her and our future child.

If only I could keep my hands off her, my life would be a hell of a lot less complicated.

My Review:
My Rating: 4 stars

After winning a football game Davis decides to go to a local pub instead of going out with his teammates where he runs into Maggie, whose down on her luck right now. After a couple of drinks, nachos and some conversation the two go back to Davis' apartment and have a wild night together. The next morning Maggie slips out just when Davis is getting ready to ask her if they could have some more time together. A few months later Maggie finds out she's pregnant and goes to tell Davis. As the two deal with this unplanned pregnancy they realize the chemistry is still there from the night they met. Maggie just wants to be friends, while Davis is going to show her they can be so much more! As Maggie's pregnancy develops her past comes to light and the two must overcome the trouble that is headed their way.

Honestly, I loved Davis in this book. He is genuinely a nice guy, who behind closed doors has that sexy edge that is needed. He wants to take care of Maggie and their baby. Maggie grew on me. I wasn't sure how I felt about her at first, but I understand with her past why she was the way she was. She did frustrate me at times, but she felt real. I love how Davis was close to his family. I loved the chemistry between Maggie and Davis and how they had to trust each other and how protective Davis was over Maggie and their baby. I also loved seeing Davis with his teammates and how we saw Eden and Cole and the other characters from Sneak Attack, which is the first book in the Nashville Steel series. While Time Out can be read as a standalone I would suggest reading Sneak Attack too just because it was so good. I also like how Stacey didn't rush the pregnancy in order to just get to the baby part! Overall, if you like unexpected pregnancy, guy falls first, athlete, football books than you will enjoy this one.

The Baby Blitz- Release Blitz, Review, and Giveaway!!

BLURB

 Two pink lines won’t change the bad blood between us.

I haven’t always hated my brother’s best friend, but Michael Oliver gets under my skin and brings out the worst in me. He knows how to push my buttons, and I relish pushing all of his. He betrayed my trust years ago, so I’ve made it my mission in life to aggravate him until he admits he was wrong. 

When his sister’s wedding brings us together, Michael suggests a truce for one night. If only he weren’t so handsome and smart, maybe I could resist the allure, but I’ve always been a little impulsive, and this man is my ultimate temptation. After years of pent-up frustration and unrequited lust, I finally let down my guard, and that’s all it takes for us to combust.

 But like all bad decisions, the morning after brings a reckoning, and I leave his hotel room swearing to never waste another moment of my time pining after him. Who needs that grumpy jerk warming her bed? Not me.

 I don’t let myself think about that steamy night together, or how it pained me to hear about his football injury, or how much I know he wants to get drafted so he can help his family. Because I’m cutting Michael out of my life for good.

 Only the two little pink lines mean I can’t forget him. Even if I desperately want to.

* * *

The Baby Blitz is a companion standalone to USA Today-bestselling author Lex Martin’s sensational college football romance novels, The Varsity Dad Dilemma and Tight Ends & Tiaras. Readers will love this sensual multicultural romance featuring a scorching-hot college football player and the feisty, but slightly nerdy girl next door—the one he swore he’d never make a move on. 

Will Michael make the right decision if he has to choose between Maggie or fulfilling his dream of playing professional football?

My Review:
My Rating: 3 Stars

Ever since high school Maggie has hated her brother's best friend Michael Oliver or as he is called in the book Olly. The two play pranks on each other and are now in college both trying to help their families with money and working their way towards a better future. In Olly's case he is focusing everything on Football and coming back from his injury. In Maggie's case she is trying to renovate her house on her own that she inherited, working part time and taking classes. Both of these two have a lot going on before they decide to cease fire and pull a truce on the night of Olly's sister's wedding. After years of bickering and tension the two give in to one night of passion. After a series of things happen the morning after the two end up not speaking until Maggie finds out she's pregnant. Now the two have to figure out if they are just going to coparent or could they actually be a couple if they can talk through their differences?

This was a cute story that showed different aspects of a college pregnancy that we don't always see. Maggie didn't have an easy pregnancy, but I absolutely enjoyed how Olly tried to help her through it. I struggled at times to like Maggie because I felt she was too stubborn to ask for help sometimes. I really enjoyed Olly's friends and how they became a little family. I also got annoyed at times because there was such a lack of communication between Maggie and Olly. If they would have just talked things out a lot of their problems wouldn't have been bad.  This wasn't my favorite book of the series, but I did like how it showed different aspects with Maggie's pregnancy and I liked how Olly tried to provide for their future. I liked how Maggie was creative with saving money and still getting the things she needed. Both Olly and Maggie were hard workers. Overall, if you are looking for a enemies to lovers and siblings best friend with a little angst this might be the book for you.

The Final Play-Release Blitz!!

 The Final Play isn’t always the end. Sometimes, it’s the beginning of something far more beautiful.

The Final Play, an all-new steamy and emotional sports romance from Amie Knight is available now!

BLURB:

As a professional linebacker, I lived and breathed football.

The only thing I loved as much as the game was my twin brother, Max, who kept me almost as busy cleaning up his messes.

The most recent of which landed him behind bars.

So, it shouldn’t have surprised me when a beautiful woman showed up on my doorstep, claiming to be pregnant with Max’s baby.

Glory was unexpected, infuriating, and flat-out crazy most of the time.

But no matter how hard I tried to deny it, that tiny spitfire slammed into my boring life with the strength of a Category 5 hurricane, blowing through my defenses until she’d carved her name in my heart—permanently.

I feared we would never work. She was a single mom, my brother’s ex, and one more chance for me to fail yet another person I loved.

But if football was my church, then Glory was my heaven.

BLURB:

Sometimes scoring off the ice leads to the greatest rewards.

I’ve had only one goal in life since I first strapped on a pair of skates—make America’s pro hockey league.

I left Denmark. I made it to the top. Now, I’m determined to be the best. No distractions. I eat, sleep, and breathe hockey.

Until my birthday when my teammates convince me to live a little.

But living a little takes on a whole new meaning when less than a year later I’m confronted with a crying baby on my doorstep, drooling on a note that declares he’s mine.

Suddenly, I'm a single dad in way over my head.

There is no playbook for situations like this.

Luckily, I have Paisley.

She’s there any time I need her.

Helping. Guiding. Gazing at me with those green eyes that make me feel capable of this after all.

Grip-Release Blitz and Review

 Lacey Black’s Grip is a second-chance, surprise-baby contemporary romance written in K. Bromberg’s Driven World project.

BLURB:

Mack

I live to race. It’s in my blood—the smell of dirt and gasoline, the fast cars, the screaming fans. I was the king of a small track in Missouri with the world at my fingertips. I even had the girl, until a call came from the infamous Colton Donavan. I had a choice to make: my dream or the woman I loved. I couldn’t have both.

When an unexpected surprise shows up on my doorstep in the form of a baby, there’s only one woman I trust enough to help me. Lena Stanley, the one I left behind. But being in close proximity to her reminds me of what we used to have, and what I still want. Her.

Lena

The day he walked away to chase his dream was the hardest day of my life, but I powered through. I could never ask Mack to choose between me and the opportunity of a lifetime.

That’s why I pushed him toward the latter, despite the heartache it caused.

Now, he needs my help. The problem is it’s hard to keep old feelings buried. Despite my best efforts, our connection is too powerful to deny. However, as our short time together draws to a close, I have another difficult choice to make. Only this time, I’m not just walking away from him, but his son too.

My Review:
My Rating: 4 Stars

When Mack gets the chance of a lifetime to be a race car driver he takes it, even though by doing that he loses the woman he loves. Fast forward a few years later and there is a baby on his doorstep. Mack knows he needs help and the only person he trusts to help take care of his son is the girl he walked away from. After getting an urgent plea from Mack to come help him Lena can't let him suffer. She was not expecting to find out Mack was a dad. Now she has to figure out if she can help him while still protecting her heart.

I liked that Lena was a strong woman who took care of herself. She follows her heart and tries to make sense of what would be best for her. Mack was sweet and it was nice watching him become a father to Oliver. I liked that while there was external drama, most of the drama between the couple was internal. Should Lena stay? Will Mack fight for her? This was a cute, fast read that makes you wonder if second chances will work out.


Grip is written in New York Times Bestselling author K. Bromberg's Driven World, which is one of two KB Worlds projects. With over 100 authors, who were selected by and are working with K. Bromberg, these stories are fan fiction at its finest—and sexiest.
