We’re nothing alike. 

 

He’s got money in the bank, and I’m trying to make ends meet.

 

He’s much too old for me, and I hate his guts.

 

He’s quiet, and I can’t keep my mouth shut.

 

But when he shows up for his daughter. 

When I see him care. 

When he takes charge—I can’t stop my heart from flipping.

He’s offering me security that I’ve never dared to dream about. 

When his lips touch mine, I know I’m done for.

I just hope he doesn’t break our hearts.

 

 

This is a highly emotional book that will take you on a rollercoaster ride of forbidden love, family drama, and the power of true love.

I let Benedict go—Didn’t I?

 

Hot, arrogant, confident Dr. Benedict Farrow is out of my life.

At least, I think he is.

Secret Relationship

 

Blurb:

Our team is assembled, and the Vegas Heat is ready for our first season.

Life is perfect except for one thing. I can’t tell anybody about the love of my life.

The more time passes, the more people find out. It’s only a matter of time before her father learns the truth, but it has to come from us.

If it doesn’t, our relationship will become like a groundball that’ll eventually roll to a stop…but there won’t be anyone there to pick it up.

My review:

Groundball is the fourth book in the new steamy Vegas Heat: Expansion Team series. I have just recently discovered this author so when I read the blurb, I was definitely interested in reading the series. And it has been just as good as it sounded!

There was an instant connection and lots of chemistry between Cooper and Gabby.  What started out as a one-night stand became more but then they discover Cooper is her dad’s best friend.  Keeping their love for one another a secret from Gabby’s father can only last so long.  All secrets get revealed at some point.  Can their love withstand the difficulties and the secrets?

Cooper and Gabby are great characters, and they have a strong connection.  I didn’t realize the series was a continuation of one another.  Usually, I don’t read books that end with cliffhangers but this series has me hooked and I cannot wait to see what the last book has in store for us.

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

GROUNDBALL is the fourth book in the VEGAS HEAT: THE EXPANSION TEAM series. This series must be read in order.

I never wanted to be a nanny.

 

That wasn’t in my carefully crafted, five-year plan. The one I came up with after I got a second chance at life. Neither was giving my heart to the beautiful baby boy I was taking care of. Even if I saw that coming the moment I laid eyes on him.

 

Falling in love with his father… now that, I didn’t see coming.

 

But I’d dare anyone to spend time getting to know the real Jace Kingston… 

The man behind the hockey jersey, grumpy attitude, and panty-meltingly gorgeous face.

The one who sings his son to sleep so sweetly… who holds him with such care.

The same man who knows how to light every inch of my body on fire.

The one I can’t resist.

 

It was supposed to be one year of my life.

I’d pay off my student loans. 

He’d get through his first season of pro hockey.

Then I’d help him find my replacement.

 

If only it was that easy.

“What the hell?” He stood on the other side of the door. “Where’s the doorknob?”
I leaned down and spoke through the hole where the knob used to be. “It’s in here with me. The lock jammed, and the knob came off in my hands when I tried to pull it open.”
“Alright. Give me a minute. I need to run next door to get a screwdriver.”
“I have one now! I picked it up after the beeping incident, so I wouldn’t need to bug you again. It’s in the top drawer in the kitchen!”
“Okay, great. Hang on.”
Two minutes later, the door popped open. It wasn’t until I saw Holden’s face that I remembered I was only wearing a tank top and underwear, sans bra.
He gulped and took a long look before turning his head. “Sorry. I didn’t realize you weren’t dressed.”
I wasn’t the only one scantily clad. Holden had on only a pair of boxer briefs, his beautiful tanned skin and carved six pack on full display for my eager eyes, yet again. I couldn’t stop myself from staring. Silence ticked by until Holden turned his head back, probably to see why I’d grown quiet. “You oka—”
My eyes rose to meet his, but not before he’d caught me ogling him.
I shook my head and laughed nervously. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to stare. I just hadn’t expected you to be in your underwear either, I guess. It caught me off guard.”
Holden ran a hand through his hair. “Yeah, I’m sorry if I checked you out, too.”
I should’ve just left the bathroom and covered up with a robe, but something about being near this man made me say and do things that were completely out of character. “Would you mind if I…looked a little more?”
Holden’s brows shot up to his hairline. “You want to check me out?”
My face heated. I shook my head and looked down. “Oh my gosh. I’m so embarrassed. I think the lack of sleep and stress from being locked in here made me a little bonkers. It’s just that maybe we both have some pent-up curiosity about what we look like as adults. I mean, I’ve only stolen glimpses of you without a shirt on since we were teenagers in my backyard pool. And you certainly haven’t seen me in a skimpy bottom and no bra since then. I guess I was thinking if we took a good, long look, once and for all, we might get it out of our systems.”
Holden stared at me. I could see the wheels in his head spinning. Eventually, his eyes dropped to my chest. “You have no bra on…”
I shook my head. “No bra.”
He swallowed. “Let’s do it.”
“Really?”
He nodded. “Fuck yeah. I’m going to hell anyway. Might as well enjoy the ride down. But you have to stay in the bathroom, and I’ll stay on this side of the doorway.”
“Okay.” I bit my bottom lip. “You look first.”
“Why don’t we look at the same time?”
I nodded. “Good idea. How long should we do it for?”
Holden shrugged. “A minute?”
“Do you have your phone?”
“No. I thought someone broke in and you were being attacked. My phone was the last thing on my mind.”
“Mine should be on the coffee table. Do you want to grab it so we can use the timer?”
Holden walked away and came back ten seconds later. “What’s your code?”
“Zero, seven, one, three.”
He started to type and then froze before looking up at the ceiling. “That’s the day you’re getting married, isn’t it?”
I nodded.
Holden cursed as he went back to typing. “I’m so fucking going to hell.”
He called up the clock app and then turned the phone to show me. The countdown was set for one minute. His finger hovered over the green button. “You ready?”
I nodded.
Holden pressed the button, and we began to openly ogle each other.

BLURB

From New York Times bestselling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward comes a new standalone romance.
Rule number one for dating your best friend’s sister: Don’t.
Just don’t do it.
Especially when your best friend is dead and the last thing he made you promise him was that you’d keep an eye on his little sister, but not too good of an eye.
As a musician whose longest committed relationship was six weeks, I, Holden Catalano, was the last guy on Earth who should’ve been messing around with Laney Ellison.
The super smart girl whom I affectionately dubbed Lala since childhood was always off limits.
Though that didn’t stop me from thinking about her over the years, especially those times when the two of us would sneak out onto the roof and talk for hours after my buddy fell asleep. It was innocent, but I’d always held a torch for her.
After Ryan passed away, I vowed to always protect Lala. That included protecting her—from me.
Now all grown up and a scientist, Lala needed a place to stay when she accepted a temporary research position in New York. I thought I did the right thing by offering her an apartment in the building I co-owned with my three friends.
Except having her close by reignited all of those old feelings.
And things started to get complicated.
Especially since she was engaged.
And especially since, lately, I’d noticed something more in her eyes. Desire.
Lala didn’t exactly look at me like the platonic brother figure I was trying so desperately to be, even though I wanted her more than I’d ever wanted anything.
Yet, I was being good—on my very best behavior.
But you know what they say…all good things must come to an end, right?

Corrupted Union by Jill Ramsower

 Corrupted Union (The Byrne Brothers #2)

by Jill Ramsower

Expected publication April 4, 2023  

My rating: 4 out of 5 stars 

Blurb:

Keir
The governor’s daughter has gotten herself into a mess.
If I protect her, her father will owe me, bigtime.
But the best way to keep her safe is to marry her.
Claim her as one of our own.

The catch? She’s got a boyfriend she’s not ready to part with.
Good thing an unwilling bride isn’t an issue for a guy like me.

Rowan
How is it that years of toeing the line could unravel so damn quickly?

I’ve done my best to make my parents happy in every way.
But when a six-foot tatted Irish gangster showed up at our house, my entire life began to crumble.

Now, I’ve woken with a ring tattooed on my finger, and I’m starting to worry there’s no going back.

My review:

“…I chose you, and I will continue to choose you so long as you’ll let me.”

Corrupted Union is the second book in The Byrne Brothers series.  It can be read as a standalone but I enjoyed the first book so I would have ended up reading it anyway.  So, I recommend starting at the beginning. We met Keir in the first book, Silent Vows, and his character was very cryptic, so I was excited for the chance to get a better view of his character.  I was hooked after the first chapter and with all the suspense and twists, I could not put the book down.  I loved how Rowan was able to convince the solemn Keir to open up.  His character was such a mystery but not with Rowan! 

This was a new-to-me author until I started this series and I have really enjoyed reading her books.  I absolutely adored Keir and Rowan’s cute meet!  The book ends with a surprise that leads us into the next book.  I will definitely be on the lookout for more of her books and the next one in the series.

 I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.
