When an adorable force meets an irresistible object they might just fall in love.

Miles

Studies astrophysics? Check.

Loves Star Wars? Check.

Still a virgin at twenty-one with zero experience in real life? Double-check.

I didn’t want any fanfare around my twenty-first birthday. But when a series of unfortunate accidents confirming Ramsey’s rules of randomness takes place right in front of my eyes, I find myself dancing with the hottest, most popular jock on campus.

Liam makes me feel special. He makes this night one to remember. He becomes the very first boy I ever kissed.

Except it’s all a charade. He’s just making his crazy ex-girlfriend crazier and I’m happy to play along. Call it a kissing practice.

But when the door is closed and his ex isn’t around to see us, are we still faking it? Or are we the crazy ones?


Liam

Am I going through one helluva breakup? Yes I am.

Am I coping with it by dancing with the first guy who accidentally pissed my ex off? You bet I am.

Hayley and I were supposed to spend our lives together. Well, that was the plan until she changed the plan. She’s now hooking up with some random caveman and I’ll be damned if I’m just going to stand here and watch.

Oops, the nerd just kissed me; and you can bet your life I kissed him back. Now she knows what it feels like.

And I discover it feels way better than I expected.

The Two Stars Collision is the third book in the College Boys of New Haven series, but it fully works as a standalone. If this is your first encounter with the series, feel free to start here! You will find a nerd/jock pair, opposites attract, gay for you, and a happily ever after.

My Rating - 4.5 Stars!

The Two Stars Collison is the third book in the College Boys of New Haven series by Hayden Hall. This college romance is easily read as a standalone. 

This one combines nerd/jock, opposites attract, and first times to make it exactly what I crave to read everyday. 

I love Miles and Liam and their relationship. They're super adorable together and I love the way everything develops between them. 

Their story includes a funny meet cute, and a fake relationship. Yay! I love when a fake relationship leads to love.

The opposites attract factor is huge with this one. One's a science geek who's also a virgin. The other's a jock who's also a frat boy. But they certainly work well together and discover that they get along wonderfully. 

I love the chemistry between the two. The connection is instant and the dynamic between them is fabulous.

There are a lot of Star Wars references that fans of the series will love. But, if you're like me and have never even watched Star Wars, it doesn't make it a problem. 

I love the author's writing style and the storyline is plenty of fun. There are a lot of secondary characters who fully come to life and add tons to the story.

The Two Stars Collison is a great choice the next time you're in the mood for a college romance. This Hayden Hall tale kept me reading late into the night.

From USA Today bestselling author K Webster comes an angsty and emotional enemies-to-lovers gay romance standalone!   The hatred began when my father proposed to another man in a shocking moment that rocked my family to its core….

Now I’m on a quest for revenge against my father. That means hitting him where it hurts—the new fiancé and the son he thinks so much of. Alister Sommers.   Alis is a bleached blond perfectionist thorn in my side who’s used to everything going his way. Grades, money, track—he dominates it all despite his short, insignificant frame.    

Was one dad not good enough that Alis had to take mine too?   Soon, we’ll be stepbrothers. Until then, I vow to make his life a living hell. Maybe Dad will regret his terrible mistakes. Maybe he won’t. I know I won’t regret wrecking their lives like they did mine.   I’ll give up everything, even my girlfriend and football, if it means I get a chance for retribution.   It’s reckless and risky, but I don’t have much to lose. The havoc I wreak might ease some of the pain Dad caused my mother. I’m willing to give it a shot.   What starts as a family feud will become a war…one I plan on winning no matter the cost.   There’s only one small problem. I may have underestimated my opponent.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Feuds and Reckless Fury is awesome from the start. This K Webster enemies to lovers tale had me hooked from page one and I couldn't put it down. 

Ohhh...I love this story. This is one of those delicious reads that had me all consumed throughout. 

Their fathers are long time best friends. But now they are a couple, rocking Canyon's world.

Canyon and Alis hate each other. Canyon's fury at his father is being aimed at Alis and it's war. 

Their tale includes plenty of high school antics, including all the dynamics you'd expect.

But the real story is Canyon and Alis. There's so much angry and hatred. There's rage and sadness. There are family issues galore and Canyon is doing nothing but trying to hurt his father. 

I effin love this book. Everything about it is awesome and works for me. The emotions are front and center throughout. The hatred. The anger. The lust. The tension. The need. The want. The fear. The devastation. Everything just jumps off the pages.

And man, it's effin hot. There are tons of hot sex scenes, with many of them being exceptionally emotional. Wow. Just wow. The sexual tension and chemistry throughout, and the first times, are amazing.

This story has so damn much going on. Soon to be stepbrothers. A mother who's spiraling. Family tension and issues. Friend problems. A sister caught in the middle. An ex girlfriend who's actually fabulous instead of being a bitch. PTSD. Anxiety.  A stalker. Danger. Action. It's emotionally gripping throughout.

I love it all. Feuds and Reckless Fury is a must read for fans of hot high school romances. K Webster impresses, entertains, and delights throughout. I was on the edge of my seat throughout.

Catching Kalen
By Maya Nicole & Britt Andrews

Diamond Dreams, Book 1

The call never came.

So, I did what any major league hopeful reject would do: I went to the bar to escape my reality.

When I locked gazes with a pair of gorgeous blue eyes, I knew the night was going to be anything but normal.

Especially since I’d never been with a man.

One night of passion left me questioning everything. It was supposed to be a random hookup but when I walked into my summer school course there he was, standing at the front of the room.

My professor.

Will Monroe catch me, or will he strike out?

My Rating - 4.5 Stars!

Catching Kalen is the first book in the Diamond Dreams series by Maya Nicole and Britt Andrews. 

It took me a little while to get into this one. I'm not always a fan of one night, first time gay, hook ups. But, I'm thrilled I kept reading. 

Obviously, there's something special about Monroe. And Kalen feels it immediately. 

Unfortunately, as strong as the chemistry is between them, their relationship is forbidden. Yes, after the hookup Kalen walks into Monroe's classroom. 

And, damn, I enjoy everything that follows. 

These two are fabulous together. Their connection is intense, and the sex between them is steamy. They cannot deny their feelings, no matter how hard they try. 

Their relationship has plenty of up and downs that make things even harder for the two. 

Their story is one of bisexual awakening, or possibly a gay awakening. The sex is amazing. And the love between the two is spectacular. 

It's a long, hard fought road for these two, but they are definitely going to be stronger as a result. 

The writing is great, with a story that's easy and fun to follow. The pace is great and the twists and turns add tremendously to the entertainment. 

Overall, it's a delightful combination of sports, teacher/student, age gap, controlling father, homophobia, and sexual awakening.

Catching Kalen is a great sports romance. The authors do a great job starting off this series with a delicious and emotional age gap romance.

I stepped out of the way, just enough for him to squeeze through. His chest brushed against mine, and I inhaled his scent. Fuck, he smelled like expensive cologne and a hint of tequila. In one word, temptation. He smelled like fucking temptation.

Slipping the Do Not Disturb sign on the outside door handle, I let the heavy door swing closed. I turned to find him across the room at the window, looking out at the street. His body was a work of art with strong shoulders and a waist that tapered in just the right amount, leading to his pert ass.

Our eyes met in the window reflection as I walked up behind him. I slid my hands around his waist to rest on his stomach, feeling the ripples of his abs through his shirt. I buried my face against the back of his neck, inhaling the faint scent of aftershave and leather.

"You smell so fucking good." I trailed my lips across the back of his neck to his ear. "I can't wait to sink my teeth into your ass," I whispered as I moved my hands under his shirt and traced the contours of his abdomen. He must spend hours working out for a body like this.

He trembled as I moved my hands up to his chest and slid my thumbs over his hard nipples. His breath was already speeding up, and I smiled against the soft skin right below his ear before licking the shell of it.

"Jesus." He stumbled forward a foot and put his hands on the window. The windows had privacy film on the outside, so I wasn't worried someone would see him. Not that I cared, but he might.

I moved my hands down to the bulge in his pants. He groaned as I palmed him through the fabric of his jeans. He was thick, and I bit the lobe of his ear. "A dick like this is meant for my fist."

BLOG TOUR, GIVEAWAY & REVIEW - Fandom (Famous #3) by Eden Finley

  

RELEASE BLITZ

FANDOM (Famous #3) by Eden Finley

Release Date: April 7, 2021

Cover Design: Cate Ashwood

Photographer: Wander Aguiar

Model: Cooper

Genre: M/M Contemporary Romance

DENVER

Everyone remembers the night the boy band Eleven broke up. Hearts shattered around the world, including my own.

I made a mistake, and I’ve been avoiding bandmate Mason Nash ever since.

At first it was hard, but eighteen months ago, he made it easier by leaving Hollywood and disappearing.

When Eleven reunion talks start, I’m against it completely. I could really do with the publicity, but I don’t want to face Mason again. I’m sure he won’t want to see me either.

 

MASON

I don’t miss LA or anyone in it. Not even the guys from Eleven.

So, when they turn up on my doorstep talking about reunions, the last thing I want to do is hear them out.

I hold strong too. Until my eyes land on Denver Smith.

My ex-best friend.

Two and a half years ago, he ghosted me, and I still don’t know why.

I want answers—I miss him—but I don’t want to let him back into my life if there’s a chance he’ll walk away again.

______________________________________________________________

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Fandom is the third book in Eden Finley's Famous series. And, oh, how I adore this book. 

Denver and Mason's tale is a second chance romance with plenty of regret and longing. 

These two men have a long history and there's so much to repair just to be friends again, let alone more. 

The fat shaming aspect is a large part of Mason's issues. Being out of the spotlight, he gained forty pounds and certainly isn't going to be accepted in the limelight again. We all know that celebrities are "supposed" be fit and good looking. This is a key part of Mason's journey. 

This is an emotional read. And with it written in alternating first person pov, every feeling jumps off the pages. 

Oh, the longing. The want. The pain of missed opportunities and the regret of wasted time.

It's a story of friendship and the need for support. It's a tale with apologies and forgiveness. It's a story with alcohol issues. 

There are definitely some twists and turns I didn't see coming.

I adore the GFY aspect, as Mason's confused by his feelings for Denver. Add in Denver's staggering fear of losing his friend again, and the obstacles are plenty. 

The whole series is amazing. It follows a former boy band, who all went their own ways. With a desire to get them back together, there are plenty of obstacles in the way. 

This time around we get all the angst. Oh, this book grabbed me immediately and I couldn't put it down. Every moment is riveting and the overall storyline is mesmerizing. 

Fandom is a stellar addition to the superb Famous series by Eden Finley. If you haven't yet started reading this series, you are really missing out.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

 

Eden Finley is an Amazon bestselling author who writes steamy contemporary romances that are full of snark and light-hearted fluff.

She doesn't take anything too seriously and lives to create an escape from real life for her readers. The ideas always begin with a wackadoodle premise, and she does her best to turn them into romances with heart.

With a short attention span that rivals her son's, she writes multiple different pairings: MM, MMF, and MF.

She's also an Australian girl and apologises for her Australianisms that sometimes don't make sense to anyone else.

Can they fake it til Tate makes it?

Tate Ward is in a bind. His food truck hasn’t been the runaway success he’d always dreamt it would be. When he tries to join a new food truck collective to gain a larger following, his sales aren’t even high enough to win a spot. What he needs is a high profile endorsement—and he knows just the guy.

Tate hasn’t seen Chase Riley since high school. It’s been ten long years of watching from a distance as Chase conquers football fields and fan’s hearts.

Tate never wanted Chase to know that he had the world’s stupidest crush on him, because he always believed Chase was straight.

But desperate times call for desperate measures . . .

When Chase offers a tempting plan that could fulfill all his dreams, Tate knows he can’t say no. All he has to do is pretend that his very real feelings are actually fake.

But faking it with Chase, while leading to wild success and even wilder nights, is everything that Tate feared it would be. All it’s done is leave him wanting the impossible: Chase’s heart.

___________________________________________________________________________

My Rating - 4.5 Stars!

Hit the Brakes is a great sports romance by Beth Bolden. Add in that it's the second book in the Food Truck Warriors series, and you can't go wrong. It's easily read as a standalone, but features plenty of men who you'll recognize from her other books. 

Chase and Tate went to high school together. They were never super close and a long time has passed since they last talked. 

Chase is now a famous NFL football player, while Tate is trying to make his food truck work. 

Everything about these two is wonderful. I love that Chase can't forget about the only guy he ever crushed on. I love the high school flirting. And I adore their reunion. 

The way things develop for these two is unique and entertaining. It's definitely nothing I predicted. They have to deal with insecurities and doubts, yet not quite as you'd expect.  And the obstacles all fit in well. 

If you are in the mood for a second chance romance between two men who flirted but never even kissed, you'll love this book. 

Their story has a fake boyfriend aspect to it, which of course leads to them dating for real. 

God, I just adore both men, their backgrounds, and their journeys. They're both lovable, yet flawed. Both have their own insecurities to deal with. And both have their share of personal growth to achieve. I love it all.

Hit the Brakes is a delightful sports romance. Beth Bolden combines plenty of sweet moments with a hard fought win for love. 

___________________________________________________________________________

A few minutes later, Tate re-emerged from the shiny silver truck, carrying a paper plate in one hand and a bottle of water in the other.

He headed in Chase’s direction, and without saying a word, sat down opposite him and slid the plate across the table.

“Rachel’s heating up the mac and cheese. It’ll be out in a second.”

“No soup?” Chase wondered.

“We’re out.” Tate shrugged. “Busy day. Shouldn’t have come at the end of lunch hour.”

“I had a meeting,” Chase said. One he probably could’ve canceled, but he also knew what would happen if he’d shown up when there was a crowd here. It’d have become a circus, and he wouldn’t have gotten a moment alone to talk to Tate.

The grilled cheese was perfectly browned and crispy, glistening at the edges with butter and melted cheese. It looked just as good as Chase remembered, and when he bit into it . . . bliss.

He chewed and swallowed. Wished he had about a thousand other bites. “This is even better than I remember it,” Chase said.

Tate drummed his fingers against the worn wooden grain of the tabletop impatiently. “It’s been ten years. I was a kid. I’ve refined the recipe since then.”

“I don’t suppose you’d tell me your secret ingredient,” Chase wondered.

Tell me all your secrets. Please.

“Secret ingredient? Time? Patience?” Tate seemed annoyed he was here, and maybe it was his fear of being found out but, deep down, Chase was worried it was something else. Maybe it had only been Chase who’d been so affected by their classes together twice a week. He hadn’t wanted to believe that was true, because he knew flirting and Tate had undeniably flirted with him. Had always responded, even when Chase hadn’t really known what they were doing.

Honestly, he still didn’t know what they’d been doing.

Chase finished one triangular half with three more big bites. “Well, I thought about this sandwich a lot,” he said.

I thought about you.

Tate looked incredulous. “I made you one grilled cheese sandwich, in high school, and you’ve been thinking about it ever since? For ten years?”

It sounded ridiculous when Tate put it like that. “Well, it was a good sandwich,” Chase retorted. “And so is this one.”

“Does this mean you’re not going to sue us?”

Chase groaned. “I never planned on suing you. I just wanted . . .” What had he wanted? He hadn’t let himself contemplate exactly what it was that he wanted from Tate, hadn’t given himself the chance, but now, even with Tate seemingly annoyed, that indescribable tension hummed between them.

He’d wanted to know that he hadn’t misremembered or imagined it after all. He’d wanted to know if it had been real.

“No? You just came here to intimidate me?”

“Oh for God’s sake,” Chase said. “I’m not here to sue you or intimidate you or any of that crap. Is it so hard to believe I just wanted to see you again? See how you’re doing?”

Tate stared at him. Those gray eyes—usually so warm but opaque now—had always unnerved him. Before, in the best possible ways. But now? Chase didn’t know what to think.

“You really aren’t here to demand I stop talking about you?”

Chase shrugged. “You posted that you make my favorite sandwich in LA. Technically, it was true. You did, just ten years ago. And now I’ve confirmed, officially, that you still do.”

Tate tugged off his beanie and ran his hand through his hair, the auburn strands of it shining in the mid-afternoon California sunshine. “I’m sorry, it’s just hard for me to believe that you’re not pissed.”

“I could pretend to be pissed off if it’d make you feel better,” Chase offered.

Tate chuckled. “No, no, that’s okay. I’m . . . I guess I’m just surprised. I’d have thought you’d hate people who use your name.”

“Most people, yeah,” Chase admitted, biting into the second half of his sandwich. “But you’re not most people. Never have been.”
