Season's Change (Trade Season #1) by Cait Nary

 







A veteran hockey player and a rookie can't get away from each other—or their own desires—in this sexy, heartfelt opposites-attract hockey romance.  

Olly Järvinen has a long way to go. He’s got a fresh start playing for a new team, but getting his hockey career back on track is going to take more than a change of scenery. He’s got to shut his past out and focus. On the game, not on his rookie roommate and his annoyingly sunny disposition—and annoyingly distracting good looks.

All Benji Bryzinski ever wanted was to play in the big leagues, and he’s not going to waste one single second of his rookie season. Yoga, kale smoothies and guided meditation help keep his head in the game. But his roommate keeps knocking him off track. Maybe it’s just that Olly is a grumpy bastard. Or maybe it’s something else, something Benji doesn’t have a name for yet.

Olly and Benji spend all their time together—on the ice, in the locker room, in their apartment—and ignoring their unspoken feelings isn’t making them go away. Acting on attraction is one thing, but turning a season’s fling into forever would mean facing the past—and redefining the future.

Trade Season

Book 1: Season's Change






My Rating - 5 Stars!

Season's Change is a fabulous hockey romance by Cait Nary. 

Damn! I love this book. 

It's a super hot romance full of tension and steamy moments. 

A player falling for his roommate and teammate; what more could you ask for? 

For Benji, he discovers his bisexual side, with some feelings developing, and a super hot threesome sparking things further. Ollie meanwhile, has plenty of his own issues to deal with, including some past traumatic events. 

The writing is great, as Cait had me both laughing and crying at times, fully pulled into the emotions throughout. There are a bunch of secondary characters who add to the fun. Everyone is fabulous and easy to fall in love. I love a good sports romance and this one is just that. The sports parts of the story are well done, and I adore the relationship. 

Love it all! 

Season's Change is a must read the next time you're in the mood for a sports romance. Cait Nary will not disappoint in this slow burn, bisexual awakening gem.

The Long Game (Game Changers #6) by Rachel Reid

 



Amazon Link - Available in KU ?????
Goodreads Link




The sequel is finally here! Shane and Ilya’s story, first seen in Heated Rivalry, continues in this long-awaited hockey romance from Rachel Reid.

"Everything you could want from this magnetic couple! A passionate, sexy, emotional sequel that grips your heart! Shane and Ilya forever!" —#1 NYT Bestseller Lauren Blakely, author of Hopelessly Bromantic

To the world they are rivals, but to each other they are everything.

Ten years.

That’s how long Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov have been seeing each other. How long they’ve been keeping their relationship a secret. From friends, from family…from the league. If Shane wants to stay at the top of his game, what he and Ilya share has to remain secret. He loves Ilya, but what if going public ruins everything?

Ilya is sick of secrets. Shane has gotten so good at hiding his feelings, sometimes Ilya questions if they even exist. The closeness, the intimacy, even the risk that would come with being open about their relationship…Ilya wants it all.

It’s time for them to decide what’s most important—hockey or love.

It’s time to make a call.


Game Changers
Book 1: Game Changer
Book 2: Heated Rivalry
Book 3: Tough Guy
Book 4: Common Goal
Book 5: Role Model
Book 6: The Long Game





My Rating - 5 Stars!

The Long Game is a fabulous addition to the Game Changers series. I love this Rachel Reid romance where we get more of Shane and Ilya from Heated Rivalry.

If you follow sports, you know how tough it is to be an out and proud professional hockey player. This beautiful story perfectly conveys the reasons to sometimes stay closeted, while also tugging at your heartstrings with the unfairness of it all.

Shane and Ilya have been together for ten years. And they're still hiding their love from the world. Their connection is solid and strong, and is well worth the read. 

This is a romance full of hockey, rivalries, sneaking around, and a whole lot of emotion. The chemistry and passion jumps off the pages. And the ups and downs, including the pain of being apart during the season, are felt throughout.

The writing is great, with a compelling storyline and charming characters. Both men are fully brought to life making it easy to fall in love with them; especially Ilya. You just have to love the Russian player. 


The Long Game is a wonderful addition to the Game Changers series. I adore every moment of this Rachel Reid romance and highly recommend it when you're in the mood for a sports romance.

The Hitman's Guide to Righting Wrongs While Causing Mayhem (The Hitman's Guide #4) by Alice Winters

 



Amazon Link - Available in KU 
Goodreads Link





Leland
Growing up, I was taught that getting too close to someone would be my downfall. But I’ve proven that wrong now that I’m happily married to Jackson, the greatest man in the world. The issue is that mayhem always seems to find me (which is definitely not my fault), and this time, it comes in the form of a woman looking for her daughter. What starts as a simple missing persons case turns into so much more, forcing me to rely on my found family and others, including a muscley “bear” who will definitely not whisk away my husband with his irritatingly sexy accent—I mean, yes, I’m very focused on this case… Jackson, don’t look at me like that.

Jackson
While Leland is “code potatoing” (whatever that means on his strange cheat sheet), I’m left questioning what he’s gotten himself into this time. At least he’s willing to let me assist him, even if he’s still positive that I should just “sit pretty” and let him handle everything. But with the girl missing, he knows we need to work together to determine whose game we’re playing because not everything is as it seems. Of course, when one gets involved with Leland, nothing is ever simple. But maybe that’s just the way I like it.

Contains: speed walking up way too many stairs while holding pointy objects, feel-better cookies that didn’t turn out quite right, Spanish that definitely isn’t Spanish, and lots of long-suffering people being swept up in Leland’s shenanigans once more.






My Rating - 5 Stars!


The Hitman's Guide to Righting Wrongs While Causing Mayhem is the fourth book in Alice Winter's amazing series. 

I smiled throughout this book. I snort-laughed throughout this book. Basically, it is absolutely fabulous and is a perfect addition to the world of Leland and Jackson's world. 

Leland's obsession with his babies is something I didn't know I needed in my life. But, omg, these moments are everything!!!

And let's not forget about all the secondary characters. I love them all. Henry, Cassel, Kevin, Mila, etc.

This book is full of sarcasm, banter, and snark. It's also full of scary situations that are all carried off with light-heartedness.

Overall, I can't get enough of this series and these characters. Alice Winters is one of the best at writing charming, off color characters who leave you laughing and smiling throughout all their antics. It just doesn't get any better.

Ronan's Boy (Escape Club) by J.J. Harper

 



Amazon Link   - Available in KU  





Can Ronan keep his firecracker safe? Or is it better to let his best friend help him?
Ronan is tired of hooking up. Of watching other men at Escape find their forever boys. He wants his own and he knows he's out there.
Cody will be the perfect boy for the right Daddy, he needs to have the precise Dom-to-Daddy ratio. But he isn't exactly tripping over men who want more than a night of fun.
So, yeah, needle meet haystack.
Then one night, they were both in the right place at the right time.
Ronan can't take his eyes off the perfect boy in the silver hot-pants, and tight, cropped T. He knows if he takes this boy home, he'll never want to let him leave,
Cody knows from the moment their lips touch he will never want another Daddy. Ronan is the man he's been looking for.
When Ronan introduces Cody to his best friend, Harley, new fantasies set in. Could he share his boy? Would Cody want them both?
Danger threatens Cody and the life he has with Ronan. Maybe having two Daddies is safer?

Ronan's boy is an age-gap, no age-play gay romance with plenty of hot and steamy Daddy/boy action.
Intended for readers aged eighteen or over.



My Rating - 5 Stars!

Ronan's Boy is one hell of a hot Daddy romance. This JJ Harper gem is part of the wonderful world of the Escape Club series, but it's easily read as a standalone. 

And omg, what a story! I love every moment of it. 

Cody and Harley are amazing together and their chemistry is off the charts. From their first meeting, to their developing relationship, to their sizzling threesome, every moment with these two is fabulous. 

Their story includes a lot of learning how to navigate their needs and desires. It's an insta love story that also includes a stalker element. 

Ronan's Boy is a must read if you're in the mood for a hot Daddy romance. This JJ Harper book will not disappoint. 

MF - RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW - Sneaking Around With #34 (Hockey Hotties #4) by Piper Rayne

 


Sneaking Around With #34 by Piper Rayne is now live! 




I have a reputation for being tight-lipped. You learn quick when you become a professional hockey player to be guarded with the media, so I've worked hard to cover up the mistakes of my youth.

But when I'm traded to the Florida Fury, where my ex-best friend is the starting right wing, I'm forced to confront my past. Ford and I have a lot of history, especially when it comes to his little sister, Imogen.

My heart still lurches in my chest when I see her.
My hands want to reach out and touch her.
My mouth wants to keep apologizing.

She's the only woman who ever made me want more. But she's also the one who fell victim to my most regrettable decision.

I'm not a believer in fate, but I must be back in her world for a reason. I've fought for everything I've gotten and I'm not backing down from what I know will be the best thing in my life.





My Rating - 5 Stars!

Sneaking Around with #34 is a great sports romance by Piper Rayne. The fourth book in the Hockey Hotties series, this is easily read as a standalone. 

Warner and Imogen's story is one of second chances. They have a history together that's layered and he once left her heartbroken.  

Now they're reunited as Imogen starts working with the team. What follows is a journey towards forgiveness and another chance at love. 

Adding to the fun is a forbidden relationship element, as Imogen's brother will not approve of them being together. I love this aspect. 

The writing is great, with an easy flow and plenty of emotions. One can definitely feel the pain and regret, as well as the desire and want, throughout. 

Sneaking Around With #34 is a delightful read. I love every moment of this Piper Rayne. And I adore this entire series. Definitely check out this book, and series, when you're in the mood for a hot sports romance.
