C*ck Blocked
By K.C. Kassidy

C ckBlocked_EB Cover

Blockers, Book One

Grayson Darling is suddenly the new “it” guy. An American actor turned heartthrob, Gray rose to superstar status through his portrayal of a handsome and brave American military captain in an epic WWII love story now in its fourth season on a popular streaming service.

But Gray needs a break from stardom, from the flashing lights of celebrity and his legions of female fans that mob him at every turn. He needs peace and quiet, and a real holiday during the show’s hiatus and summer break.

Instead of returning to his home in Hollywood, Gray books a month stay at a small B&B in rural Ireland, where he hopes to write his first screenplay and free himself from outside distractions. And time away to decide who and what he wants to be to the world.

What he didn’t expect to find was an attraction to the grumpy innkeeper, Niall O’Reardon. A retired football player now home managing the family’s inn with his sister, Niall is completely unfamiliar with his handsome new guest, and only knows how Grayson makes his insides feel strange and fizzy whenever they interact.

Niall only wants to live in peace and solitude, not interested in the fame or notoriety that his past football career gave him. But when word travels that Grayson Darling is staying in Boyle, the wolves descend, bringing in hordes of rag photogs, ruining his peaceful existence.

At which point, Niall must choose between protecting Gray’s reputation or protecting his own heart.

My Rating - 3.5 Stars!

C*ck Blocked is a Hollywood meets small town romance by KC Cassidy. 

When Grayson shows up in the small Irish town, adorable Niall has no idea who he is. It's cute and left me falling for the sheltered farmer. I definitely enjoy the personal obstacles each man is dealing with. 

I'm always a fan of closeted actors and athletes, so this one definitely had me interested. I love the whole needing a break from Hollywood theme and totally appreciate his predicament.   

This is a complete opposites attract tale, as the two are different as can be. It's fun as they fight their attraction to one another for a long time, creating a slow burn aspect. They also have a grumpy/sunshine thing going on which is always enjoyable. 

And, oh man, I adore Niall's family!

The journey for these two isn't easy, and both make mistakes for sure. In the end, they are together, but the relationship stuff happens quickly, without as much build up as I'd prefer. I was let feeling something was missing. 

I love the author's writing style, but I definitely struggle with some of the Irish slang. That just made it harder for me to connect to and follow. This isn't a problem that's unique to this book, I tend to struggle with this anytime an author uses native slang I'm not accustomed to. 

I also struggle with the title, as it doesn't seem to fit for me. It's definitely confusing in the end.

C*ck Blocked is a decent read. I am an avid fan of this author, who also writes as Sierra Hill. But for this one, something fell a little flat for me. It's okay, but I didn't connect with it fully and fall madly in love with it as I was expecting.

“How the hell do you stand the smell? It’s vile.”

I scoff because I’ve lived with it all my life and is simply part of farm life to me. When I’ve had to visit Dublin or London, I wondered the exact same thing about the city. The smoke, noise and car exhaust were stifling, and I could barely breathe.

“Sorry to exploit your delicate sensibilities, man. Maybe I can grab you the special scented air freshener I keep just for my city guests.” I reply drolly.

A burst of self-deprecating laughter escapes his mouth, and the sound is fucking glorious. Like church bells ringing on Easter Sunday morning. Except instead of filling my soul, it goes straight to my groin.

He raises a hand and claps me on the back, the warmth seeping through my over clothes. I whip my head to stare at him and he offers me a wink.

A sexy, goddamn wink.

Jaysus, what is this man doing to me?

“I like this about you, Niall. You don’t see the need to filter anything. You’re not only funny but good looking, too. A dangerous combination.”

My mouth dries up like a well in a drought and I swallow down sand particles lodging in my throat. Did he just reveal something about himself? Or am I projecting with wishful thinking?

The last thing I need to do is make a mistake with a guest who may or may not be homosexual like me.

It’s not easy being someone you’re not. 


Grayson Darling is suddenly the new Hollywood “it” guy and needs a break from stardom. As an American actor turned heartthrob, Gray rose to superstar status as a romantic lead on a popular streaming service – but it’s getting harder to hide who he really is. 


To his legions of female fans, he’s a handsome, single and straight man. 


But it’s all a made-for-TV lie. 


Needing a holiday during the show’s summer hiatus, Gray books a stay at a rural Ireland B&B, where he hopes the scenery and solitude will spark creativity to finish his first screenplay. And allow him time to figure out who and what he wants to be to the world. 


Gruff and steady Niall O’Reardon wonders if this is all life has to offer him now that he’s retired from the Gaelic football league and has taken over his family farm in Boyle, Ireland, where hard work is simply a fact of life. A place where dreams get shoveled up along with the sheep muck. He has no illusions that he’ll find the perfect love or start a family someday.


Until his new handsome American B&B guest shows up, messing with his ideas on what love is supposed to be, giving him hope that he can have it all and that perfect isn’t just a fantasy.


But choices must be made, and the truth has consequences. And hearts and reputations are on the line and need to be protected.

RELEASE BLITZ, EXCERPT, GIVEAWAY & REVIEW - Following the Rules (The Script Club #1) by Lane Hayes

 


Title: Following The Rules

Series: The Script Club #1

Author: Lane Hayes

Publisher: Lane Hayes

Release Date: May 7, 2021

Heat Level: 4 - Lots of Sex

Pairing: Male/Male

Length: 50k

Genre: Romance, Nerd/Jock, MM Romance, Bisexual Awakening, Best Friend's Brother,

Add to Goodreads


The geek, the jock, and a new set of rules…

Topher-

My friend’s brother needs an academic assistant and I need a job. Problem…jocks are my weakness. Seriously. I lose my ability to speak coherently around muscle-bound hotties. Oh yeah, I lose my inhibitions too—not a good look for a guy with a genius IQ. So what am I going to do about Simon?

Simon-

Finishing college isn’t high on my list of priorities, but my future in professional football is looking bleak. I need a plan B or C, and I could use some help navigating life as an undergrad. Topher is perfect. He’s also a little strange…but in a good way. And I like the way I feel when I’m around him—as though anything is possible. Maybe if we follow our hearts, we’ll find what we’re looking for. But that means changing the rules…

Following the Rules is a MM, bisexual awakening romance starring a lovable nerd, a cool jock, and some extracurricular fun.

_______________________________________________________________________



My Rating - 5 Stars!


Following the Rules is a fabulous new adult romance. The first book in Lane Hayes' The Script Club, I enjoyed every single second of this book. 

Omg, everything about this book is delightful and fun. 

Topher and Simon are such complete opposites, but they're so entertaining together. 

Topher is a total charmer. He's so damn awkward with his anxiety and complete inability to talk naturally. The way he is with scientific facts is perfectly written. Hell, I live with a teen who is exactly like this. I love it all. Add in his love of sex and his crush on Simon, and it's all completely mesmerizing. 

As for the conflict, well, that part is heartbreaking. I felt every emotion along with the men.

Then there's Simon. Simon's a big tough jock who's at a crossroads in his career. He desperately wants back on the field, but he's taking classes in the meantime. As well, his insecurity about his classes makes him a sympathetic character. 

I seriously adore this book. Every single word. 

Following the Rules is the perfect mix of jock/nerd, opposites, and college. This Lane Hayes gem is simply riveting. I love it all and can't wait to see what comes next in this series. 

_______________________________________________________________________

I served us both a slice of each kind of pizza and slid a plate his way, gesturing for him to help himself to the cheese or whatever else he might want.

“I don’t care about money,” I said around a mouthful of food. “Eat up. This is tasty, but it won’t be as good when it’s cold.”

Topher flashed an anxious sideways smile and took a mouse-sized nibble. “Mmm, that’s delicious.”

I washed down my pizza with a healthy swig of wine, nudging his knee as I swiveled to face him. “Are you okay?”

He wiped his hands on a napkin and drained half his water, setting it on the island with a decisive thud. “Yes, I’m just a little nervous.”

“Nervous? Oh. I’m sorry.” I frowned and before I could rein my tongue, blurted, “You seemed fine when we were joking about tiny gorilla penises, and hell…you saw my dick and—”

“I wasn’t joking. I was reciting a fact and as far as your penis is concerned…”

I twisted to face him, unable to contain a mischievous grin.

“Yes? I’m waiting,” I singsonged, biting into the ham and pineapple pizza.

“I told you, Simon…I was simply doing the math,” he replied matter-of-factly. “Six and a half inches.”

“Nine.”

Topher narrowed his eyes, his features softening in amusement. “Six and three-quarters, max.”

I scoffed and hooked my thumb under the elastic waistband of my sweats. “Wanna see?”

“No! Geez. You know, it’s very difficult to stay on topic with you. And staying on topic is the only way this will work.”

“Okay, fine. Back to dick size. What animal has the biggest schlong on the planet?”

He gaped at me for a hot second. “The blue whale. It’s estimated to be seven to ten feet long.”

“Whoa!”

“Although I don’t know that it’s ever been measured during intercourse. Or if that’s even possible.” He reached for his pizza with his brow knit in concentration as though pondering whale dick…as one does.

“Whales are huge. It makes sense. What about land animals?”

“Elephants. They’ve legitimately measured specimens in excess of thirty-nine inches.”

“You’ve got to be kidding.” I snort-laughed. “Christ, I’m feeling very inadequate with my mere twelve inches.”

“Six,” Topher scoffed. “Look, before we get sidetracked again, I just want to—”

“I’ll pay you double.”

“What? Why?”

I sighed as I picked up my wineglass. “I don’t want to fail. No…it’s more than that. I need to look smart. I can’t come across as the fuckup wide receiver who got dumped from the NFL and blew the cushy back-door admittance to a prestigious university by failing his first semester. I thought I might be able to muddle through with a few pointers from George, but it’s going to take more than that. I need a real assistant.”

Topher widened his eyes, then blinked in disbelief when I named an exorbitant salary. I had a hard time keeping my own expression. What the hell was I thinking? Did I really need an assistant?

I didn’t know, but I needed…something.

“Oh, that’s a lot of money,” he whispered breathlessly.

“It’s the going rate for a personal assistant. Ironically, I never had one while I played ball, but I need the help now. I want the best, and George says that’s you.”

Topher smiled. “George didn’t say he was the best?”

“Actually, he did. But we can’t be in the same room for an hour without wanting to take a swing at each other.”

“You and George fight?”

“Not as much now that we’re older, but…yeah, I guess we still fight. We don’t have much in common.”

“You and I have even less in common,” he replied.

“That’s a good thing. Trust me, it’s better for me that you don’t know that I slept with a teddy bear until I was thirteen…or that I still have that damn bear for reasons unknown.” I gave a self-deprecating chuckle, then sipped my wine and set it on the island. “So…are you in? Make me smarter, Toph. I need your brain!”

He stared at me for a long moment, inclining his head. “Okay.”

“Yes!” I fist-pumped the air as if I’d just scored a touchdown and held out my hand for a high five.

Topher left me hanging for a few long seconds before gently tapping his palm to mine. I grabbed his wrist to hold him steady for a redo. The contact was light and breezy…and spontaneous. But that was how I rolled. For a guy who played professional football, it was nothing.

However, this didn’t feel like nothing.

Game Changer (Change of Hearts #1) by Sierra Hill

 









Up until two years ago, I was living large and my life’s priorities were anchored to three things – my NBA stardom, money and celebrity.

I was also a colossal dick.

Until one night turned my world upside down and I suffered unspeakable loss. That event changed the man I was and made me a widowed-single father.

Now I’m a desperate parent trying to raise my special needs son and find him a trustworthy live-in nanny.

Grad student Brooklyn Hayes may be the one, with her single-minded focus on caring for my son and finishing her Master’s degree. She’s the perfect fit for our needs.

Maybe too perfect… with her bright smile, nurturing kindness and gentle touch. Caleb isn’t the only one who’s fallen for her.

I don’t know when or how it happened, but she changed the game for me. Turning my losing streak into a winning second-half.

Game Changer is a Single Dad/Nanny Romance.



My Rating - 5 Stars!

Game Changer is a delightful nanny romance. The first book in Sierra Hill's Change of Hearts series, this is a wonderful start to this series.  

Garrett's a former NBA player, who's now raising his special needs son and mourning the loss of his wife. This part of the story is tragic for sure. Caleb was injured in the accident that killed his mother. 

He's a basketball coach now, and needs a new Nanny. Enter Brooklyn, who was referred to him. 

I love Caleb and how well Brooklyn works with him. It makes for some amazingly sweet and tender scenes. I would read it for this alone.

As for Garrett and Brooklyn, the attraction is there and grows stronger every day. They can only ignore their chemistry for so long, as no matter how hard they fight it, they are losing this battle.

My favorite quote is "Sometimes the people we love most cause us the biggest heartaches." Isn't that the truth!

The writing is good, with an easy to read style, and a nice storyline. I enjoy the ups and downs of their journey, as well as the heat between them. It took me a while to totally "feel" the characters and to see that their connection is more than sexual. But by the end, I love it. 

I just adore Game Changer. I definitely recommend this Sierra Hill book to fans of sports romances or anyone in the mood for a nanny romance.

Wrapped with Love by Beth Bolden



Amazon Link  - Available in KU
Goodreads Link





Librarian's Note: Alternate covers for this ASIN can be found here and here.

A Five Points holiday-themed novel, featuring a surprise couple, and lots of your old favorites: Jemma & Gabe, Nick & Colin, Landon & Quentin, and more!

NFL player Jordan Christensen walks into Reed Ryan’s restaurant without a reservation. It isn’t the most serendipitous of meet-cute’s and they certainly aren’t the likeliest of romances, but over venison steaks and crΓ¨me brΓ»lΓ©e, they fall in love anyway.

Flash forward two years . . .

Jordan isn’t a football player anymore.

Reed sold his restaurant.

But even more drastically, they’ve lost each other.

When Reed moves to Los Angeles take a new job, he doesn’t realize Jordan now works there too. But Jordan definitely realizes how precious the second chance fate has bestowed on them is. He’s determined to make up for everything that fell apart the first time around, and it turns out he’s not the only one scheming to right old wrongs.

Starting a new career is always difficult but sharing office space—and big projects—with an old lover is particularly rough. Between impromptu Secret Santa exchanges, Christmas light viewings, and more tacos than even Reed can eat, the two former lovers have an eventful holiday season to navigate.
 




My Rating - 4 Stars!


The beginning of Wrapped with Love had me hooked on this Beth Bolden romance. 

The prologue is mesmerizing, and then Chapter One starts with a fast forward of  two years. We learn that Reed and Jordan are reuniting after their breakup. 

At first I wasn't sure what to expect. Obviously a lot happened during those two years and the reader is oblivious to all of it. Luckily, it's easy to pick up and the author gives us glimpses of the past, both when they fell in love, and when they broke up.

Ohhh...the emotions! Their feelings of longing, pain, and hurt are front and center. The regret, the heartache, the awkwardness. Everything is felt throughout and is amazing. And in the end, it's a wonderful tale of acceptance, understanding, and forgiveness. 

I love these two together. Jordan and Reed are great together. We know they have a strong connection, and are still pining for each other. But it's so much more. They're perfect for one another, despite their past mistakes. 

Besides, what's not to love about a chef who's awkward, and a famous athlete? Of course, when they are reunited, both are at a crossroads. Reed no longer has his restaurant and is starting all over again. Meanwhile Jordan has retired from the game. With a chance to work with Reed, he can't resist trying for his second chance. 

Again - Pining. Longing. Want. Need. Regret. And second chances.

Wrapped with Love is a sweet and tender second chance romance. Beth Bolden lays the emotions out on every single page. It's a great reconciliation story in which the emotions are everything.
