Dear Santa,

I’m going to be upfront and tell you that I feel silly doing this, but here goes nothing!

I’ve realised that I lean more towards being a Daddy, than a strict Dom. I’m kind and caring, and I want someone to spoil. I’ll always put my boy’s needs before my own. I’ll take care of him in every way he needs me to. I’ll discover what he wants, how to make him smile, laugh, and moan

As for what I’m looking for in a boy… I’d like someone who wants to feel special, and who enjoys being held by his Daddy. If I had to choose between a naughty or nice boy, I think I’d choose nice. I can put a naughty boy through boot camp, but I’d much rather praise a good boy.

What I really want, Santa, is someone to cherish this Christmas. I hope that’s not too much to ask for.

Sincerely,

ExCombatDaddy

His Boy to Cherish is an M/M winter romance with a disabled first-time Daddy, a little who loves stuffies, a twelve-year age-gap, nappies, a loud-mouth best friend, some familiar faces, and a lot of feels.

His Boy to Cherish is part of the Naughty or Nice Season Two multi-author series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but there are so many Daddies looking for some holiday magic to bring them their perfect boys, why not grab them all?

_____________________________________________________________

“Do you want to come in?” I asked.

“Not tonight.”

I must have looked disappointed because he cupped my cheek in his hand and smiled at me warmly.

“I had a really good evening, little bird. I’d like to see you again.”

“You would? Really?” There I went, sounding like a desperate idiot.

He chuckled. “Really. But you need to know that I’ve only just realised I’m a Daddy. The caring and nurturing aspects of being a Daddy Dom appeal to me far more than bondage and impact play. I’ve done those things at a club, but I like cuddling and taking care of the man I’m with.”

“I got that from your letter.”

“What I’m trying to say is that I’ve never been a Daddy to a little before.”

I should have known this was coming. He’d said he wanted to see me again, but maybe he was going to ask me to agree not to be little when we were together.

He stroked my cheek with his thumb. “I like you, little bird. Can you be patient with me while I learn how to be the Daddy you deserve?”

My eyes grew wide as saucers. “I…” Had he said what I thought he had?

“I’ll let you think about it,” he said. “I’ll message you tomorrow if that’s okay?”

I nodded. My head was spinning. He leant close, his lips pressing to mine ever so softly. When I didn’t pull away, he increased the pressure of the kiss. His thumb brushed my cheek, and his fingers stroked my neck. His kiss was tender and sweet, and it turned my legs to jelly.

“Good night, little bird,” he said before kissing my forehead. “Hopefully, I’ll see you again soon.”

Playing at Home
By Jax Calder

Sporting Secrets, Book 2

Jacob Browne comes from rugby royalty but he’s never come close to being the heroic idol his father was on the rugby field. And now he’s failed off the field as well with the breakdown of his marriage. When his ex-wife hires a manny, it feels like the ultimate kick in the guts that another guy gets to spend more time with his kids than he does.

But when he actually meets Austin, the connection that grows between them upends everything Jacob thought he knew about himself and forces him to reconsider what it truly means to be a hero.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Playing at Home is a great sports romance by Jax Calder. The second book in the Sporting Secrets series, it's easily read as a standalone.

Jacob and Austin's story is a boss/employee story, as Jacob hires Austin as his nanny. I love the way everything develops between them, as they go from strangers to friends to lovers. The attraction between them is instant, and the chemistry is sizzling.

Both characters are wonderfully developed, with their pasts adding greatly to their depth. I love the differences between them, as well as all the doubts and insecurities.

Their journey is a slow burn one, with low angst. They certainly have some obstacles to overcome, all of which are realistic and natural.

The writing is great, with a nice storyline and plenty of banter and charm.

Playing at Home is a sweet, quick read. This is another delightful read by Jax Calder. I highly recommend this to any sports romance fans.

PAH Teaser 3

“Are you okay if I ask Jen to babysit next Saturday night?”

My eyebrows knitted together. “Why, where’s Austin going to be?”

“Austin and I are going out together.”

My breath left me. It felt as if I’d been kicked in the guts. This is what I’d worried about right from the start. Matilda starting something with our ridiculously good-looking manny.

But now my guts were clenching not just because of my concern about the instability for the girls if Matilda started something with Austin. This was a whole other level of distress.

Hell. I scraped my hands through my hair.

Could I really blame Matilda for being attracted to Austin? No. Not when I suffered from the same affliction.

“Do you think that’s a good idea?” The words came out half strangulated.

Her forehead rumpled. “Why isn’t it a good idea?”

“I mean…I just don’t think it would be good for the girls…if you and Austin…”

Matilda’s frown morphed into a smirk. “Are you worried about me and Austin? Seriously?”

“I just don’t think it’s a good idea to get involved with our manny, that’s all.”

Matilda’s smirk remained. “I think you’ll find I’m lacking one major thing that Austin looks for in a partner.”

“What’s that?”

“A dick.”

My eyebrows flew up, and Matilda giggled.

“Oh my God, you should see the look on your face right now.”

I tried to keep my breathing even. “Austin’s gay?”

“Well done, I’m glad you managed to put those clues together.”

Fuck. My stomach was auditioning to be a somersault performer right now. At the same time, my heart raced harder than if I’d just played a full eighty minutes of a hard game.

Matilda’s smile faded. “What’s wrong? You’re not homophobic, are you?” Her eyes narrowed. “You can’t be. You’re fine with Beth and Charlotte.” She named her cousin and her cousin’s partner.

No, my physical reaction had nothing to do with the fact Austin was attracted to members of the same sex as him.

It was because the fact that I found him so attractive wasn’t quite as innocent anymore.

Yeah, I wasn’t exactly about to tell my soon-to-be ex-wife that.

“I’m not homophobic. What Austin does in his private life is his own business.”

“I totally agree. And that’s why I’m going to help him find someone,” she said. “I’m going to take him to the gay-friendly nightclubs and be his wingman. He deserves to have some fun. Hopefully he’ll manage to pull someone.”

My stomach twisted as I considered that possibility.

Of course he’d pull someone. Austin was gorgeous and charming and funny and sweet…yeah, that feeling inside me, the one that made me clench my teeth, it felt like…jealousy. And more than just mild jealousy. This was a fiery burn in my gut as I imagined Austin smiling at another guy.

Which I was fairly sure wasn’t what I was supposed to be feeling right now.

MF - Campus Hottie (Campus #3) by Jennifer Sucevic

Amazon Link
Goodreads Link

From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Sucevic comes the next sexy standalone novel in the Campus Series.

Carson Roberts is Western University’s most sought after tight end. He’s the total package. A pretty face to go along with all those sculpted muscles—check. An All-American—double check. A guaranteed one-way ticket to the NFL after graduation—triple check.

Did I happen to mention that he’s also my brother’s best friend, which means I grew up with the guy and have crushed on him for nearly just as long?

We’re talking a decade of unrequited yearning here, folks. Don’t worry, I’m slowly coming to terms with the fact that he’ll never see me as anything more than the little sis he never had.

Sort of.

And even if he did just so happen to notice that I’ve filled out and no longer wear braces, Brayden would have a major conniption. When it comes to the male species, he’s ridiculously overprotective. Any guy who has so much as given me a bit of side-eye has been treated to a swift and memorable beat down.

Which is precisely why I’m still in possession of my V-card.
Want to know how to make being a nineteen-year-old virgin with a major crush on her brother’s best friend even more pathetic?

Blurt out at a frat party that you’ve spent all these years saving yourself for him. Sadly, I can’t even blame it on the alcohol because I don’t drink.

If you’re thinking it can’t possibly get more humiliating than that, you’d be wrong.

Oh. So. Wrong.

*This is a mature New Adult novel with strong language and sexual situations intended for readers over the age of 18*

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Campus Hottie is the third book in the Campus series by Jennifer Sucevic. Each book can be read as a standalone. As one who can't read enough college romances, I absolutely love this series.

I love everything about this book except the title. Sorry, but Campus Hottie just doesn't set the right tone for this one. As much as we know Carson's a hot, popular football player on campus, that never is really a part of this story. Nor is the fact that he plays sports.

Instead, this story revolves around Carson being in love with his best friend's younger sister, Elle. The majority of this story is about Carson fighting their mutual desire for one another, as he knows Elle's brother would kill him for being with her.

Their relationship is full of intense attraction, plenty of will they/won't they, hot sex, and sneaking around. And damn, the sex is sizzling!

These two ooze chemistry and one just can't wait for them to finally give into their desires. And when they do, watch out!

But, good god, Elle is so damn naive. Spending any time with her professor is creepy, but damn, the repeated times with him are just pathetic. This was a forced plot point that never seemed natural to me, but of course, it helped to establish Elle's positive look at the world.

Campus Hottie is just my kind of book. This Jennifer Sucevic gem is a riveting brother's best friend romance that combines forbidden romance and a ton of heat. I just love it. Definitely pick it up the next time you're in the mood for a college romance.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW - MF - Game Changer (Las Vegas Vipers # 1) by Stacey Lynn

Game Changer by Stacey Lynn is now live!

Falling for your best friend is one thing, accidentally getting knocked up by him is another...

Hockey hottie Garrett Dubiak has been my best friend since college and the one constant in my life the past seven years. Through distance, career changes, and other relationships, we've always found our way back to each other.

Including one wild weekend this winter, when he finally told me he wanted more... wanted everything from me.

Too afraid to admit I felt the same, I told him I needed time.

Twelve weeks later, here I am, pregnant with his baby, alone, and terrified.

He's my best friend. He deserves to know the truth.

So I swallow my fear, my pride, and I shoot my shot. I just hope he's still willing to have me--and our baby.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Game Changer is a fun accidental pregnancy romance by Stacey Lynn. The first book in the Las Vegas Vipers series is the start of what looks to be a great hockey romance series.

Everything about this story had me falling in love. I adore the characters and their occasional friends with benefits arrangement. Add in the accidental pregnancy and I couldn't get enough of these two.

If you enjoy friends to lovers romances, you will love these two. Their journey develops over many years, helping to cement a solid connection.

Their story is full of fear, mistakes, and regrets. But most importantly, it's full of forgiveness.

Game Changer is a riveting hockey romance. It's a must read for any fans of sports romances. As for me, I can't wait to see what comes next in this Stacey Lynn series!

Stacey Lynn likes her coffee with a dash of sugar, her heroes with a side of bossy, and her wine a deep shade of red.

The author of over thirty romance novels, many of which have been best-selling titles on Amazon, AppleBooks, and Barnes & Noble, she loves being able to turn her vivid imagination into a career that brings entertainment and joy to her readers. Focused on sports romance and emotional, small-town romance, she also loves stretching herself in different genres.

Born in Texas and raised in the Midwest, she now makes her home in North Carolina and loves all things Southern. Together with her ultimate tall, dark, and handsome hero, she has four children. Her life is a chaotic mess that fights with her Type-A, list-making, neurotically organized preferences and she wouldn't have it any other way.

MF - Wildcat (Wildcat Hockey #1) by Rebecca Jenshak

Amazon Link

Goodreads Link

I met my dream girl.
That’s right. She’s stunning and the worst bartender I’ve ever seen.
I should have gone home and gone to sleep—dream girl or not. I had an early morning and the season was starting soon. But when she threatened me with boy band karaoke I couldn't help myself. I went. The stars aligned.
I have never felt more alive or wanted anyone more than I want her.
When it’s time for me to head on my annual pre-season boys trip, I barely let her go.
It’s been a week and I can’t stop thinking about her.
Except there she is. Right here at the Wildcat’s kickoff party.
And as luck would have it, my dream girl is the coach’s youngest daughter.
But everyone knows the coach’s daughter is off limits. Right?

Wildcat is a full-length sports romance with a hot-as-puck hero, the coach’s daughter, and an unfortunate case of mistaken identity.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Wildcat is the first book in the Wildcat Hockey series by Rebecca Jenshak. And it's as wonderful as I was hoping it would be.

I love sports romances, and this author is up there as one of my go-to authors.

This one starts with an instant attraction between Leo and Scarlett. As it's just a hook up, he never tells he what he does for a living.

And then, yup, you guessed it, he discovers he's hooked up with his coach's daughter.

I like the layers both of these characters have. She's dropped out of school but hasn't told her parents. Her life is a mess, with no clear direction and too many questions. Meanwhile, he's a part time college student/full time hockey pro.

These two make for a great couple. Their connection is strong and their bond is even stronger. And they're hot together. Their initial hook up isn't only hot, but it's also adorably funny. She's a hoot and I love it all.

Wildcat is a delicious sports romance. Be sure to check out this Rebecca Jenshak tale the next time you're in the mood for an athlete falling in love.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW - MF - Dare on Ice (Boys of Winter # 10) by SR Grey

Title: Dare on Ice

Series: A Boys of Winter Novel

Author: S.R. Grey

________________________________________

Professional hockey player Sebastian Alderman is known for his daring antics on the ice. He takes chances and plays hard, all while looking amazing.

Now I’m about to find out if he’s just as daring off the ice.

I still can’t believe I dared Sebastian to take me with him to his summer cabin in the mountains . . . for two whole months.

But I did.

My friends call me “predictable Bettina,” because I’m always playing it safe.

Not anymore.

I’m throwing caution to the wind, being a little daring myself.

And maybe, just maybe, I’ll finally get what I want—Sebastian.

Dare on Ice is the tenth novel in the bestselling Boys of Winter hockey romance series.

*can be read as a standalone*

________________________________________

My Rating - 3.5 Stars!

Dare on Ice is the tenth book in the Boys of Winter series. This SR Grey book is a good addition to this sports world.

Overall, I enjoyed this book, but I definitely struggled with some of it. I didn't love the beginning of this book, as I didn't like Bettina's big crush on Sebastian. This tale starts with a blind date and ends up with the two traveling to a reclusive cabin together for a few weeks. Again though, I found this part weird as I didn't like her yet at all. She seemed too pushy and too drawn to his persona.

But, once I was able to overlook that, I enjoyed the story.

The attraction is instant between the two and the chemistry is certainly hot. But with Sebastian not looking for love, they start off as friends. I enjoy this aspect as I'm glad Sebastian held off for a bit.

The interaction between the two is full of banter and humor. This part is definitely a lot of fun.

Written in alternating first person pov, these characters full come alive and draw you into their world.

Dare on Ice is a delightfully swoony romance. SR Grey brings plenty of entertainment to this story and I'm glad to have followed them on their journey. Definitely check it out if you're in the mood for an athlete falling in love over the off season.
