MF- Tutoring the Player (Campus Wallflowers #1) by Rebecca Jenshak

 


Tutoring the Player by Rebecca Jenshak is now live!


I have a type.

I love the good guy.

Responsible and stable. Safe.

So when a beer-drinking, quick-witted, tattooed hockey player asks me to tutor him, I'm suddenly thrust into the world of bad boys and bad decisions.

Jordan is a renowned player on campus.

He doesn’t take anything seriously, except hockey and partying.

But he gives me butterflies.

I’m a wallflower tutoring Valley University’s hottest player.

My Rating - 4.5 Stars!


Tutoring the Player is a riveting college sports romance. The first book in the Campus Wallflower series, I can't wait to read the rest of this Rebecca Jenshak series. 

This is pure fun and deliciousness! 

There's opposites attract, falling for the tutor, and plenty more. 

Daisy and Jordan make for a fabulous couple. She's the quiet wallflower, while he's the popular, life of the party athlete. They certainly don't seem like they'd make a good couple, but hot damn, they definitely do!

I adore the way their friendship develops, with all the nice getting to know each other moments. I enjoy the tension between them, and I love their chemistry together. 

Tutoring the Player is a perfect choice the next time you're in the mood for some college romance fun. As usual, Rebecca Jenshak will keep you entertained throughout with some humor, some heat, and a delightful storyline.

The Real Baxter (The Baxter Chronicles #1) by Lane Hayes

 


Amazon Link - Available in KU 
Goodreads Link






The silver-fox and the faux bodyguard…

Sebastian

Who’s the true hero behind the Hollywood heartthrob, crime-fighting, adventure-seeking international man of mystery? Me. I’m the real Baxter.

Well, I wear the suit and let the action play out onscreen. You want to know the secret of my success? Sell the story you want to tell. Even if you have to bend the truth a little.

Okay…a lot.

Trust me, no one will notice. Except Trent, who seems to notice everything. And for some reason, I like that. I like him. I’m just not sure what to do about it.

Trent

Look, I’m not exactly killing it. I’m a typical struggling actor-slash-waiter, hoping for a break. And boom…in walks Sebastian Rourke. He’s a cutthroat, wickedly charming silver fox, a Hollywood legend in the making. No joke. You’ve got to sell a piece of your soul to get in this man’s orbit. Or fake a British accent, then take a job playing bodyguard to fool the press. As one does.

I know I should take advantage of the very strange situation I find myself in, but I’m not sure I’m cut out for it. However, I’m willing to take a chance, ’cause I want the real Seb.

Even though it might cost me everything.

The Real Baxter is a MM age-gap, bisexual romance featuring the man who has everything and the actor who’s willing to show him what’s real.






My Rating - 4.5 Stars!


The Real Baxter is a great start to The Baxter Chronicles series by Lane Hayes. 

Seb, who we met in the Starting From series, is a famous and wealthy Hollywood man. From the start, his relationship with Trent is everything I never saw coming. 

Trent definitely brings out a different side to Seb. And I love it. Seb isn't a bad guy, but love isn't on his mind when he meets the inexperienced actor. He just has a lot going on in his life and isn't looking for anything serious. 

These two are fabulous together. I enjoy the layers to their relationship, as well as the unconventionality of it. 

Their story is hot and emotional in all the best ways. I love the age gap as well as the opposites attract. And damn, these two are complete opposites in every way. 

Of course, there's a fake relationship aspect which is well executed. We all know how Hollywood is about fake relationships. 

The writing is wonderful, with a lot of heart, and a slew of secondary characters who we all have come to love. 

The Real Baxter is everything I never knew I needed. This looks to be the start of another amazing series by Lane Hayes. Be sure to check it out.

Hot Seat (The Hot Cannolis #1) by Eli Easton & Tara Lain

 



Amazon Link - Available in KU
Goodreads Link





Wait. Can a Canali be gay?

Hero firefighter, youngest of six macho Italian brothers and—in love with Shane Bower, who never met a unicorn T-shirt he didn’t love? How does that even work?

When Mike Canali meets Shane Bower, his attraction to the guy is off the charts. But then his huge family and intense job full of rules and expectations intrude and he never calls.

Until they both get a medal—
and his mom falls in love with Shane at the ceremony—
and all of a sudden Shane’s all over his life, whether Mike likes it or not.

The butch Canali family face-to-face with sparkly Shane Bower? This is a wildfire of its own.

Shane worked damned hard to be who he is—fantastic, femme and in-your-face. He won’t compromise that, even to have the super-hot man of his dreams. But can he really ask Mike to give up his family and future just to have his fabulous self? Especially when he’s falling in love with the Canali family too?

HOT SEAT is a hot firefighter, big crazy family, coming out, opposites attract, forced proximity, romantic comedy—with all the feels.
 




My Rating - 5 Stars!

Hot damn! Hot Seat is a fabulous romance by Eli Easton and Tara Lain. The first book in The Hot Cannolis series, this writing duo had me riveted throughout.

Shane and Mike's story is heartbreaking, yet beautiful. 

Shane's and out and proud man that one can't help but to fall in love with. He's femme and owns every moment of it. Mike, meanwhile, is a hot and sexy firefighter, who's sadly closeted. 

The emotions are front and center throughout, with the reader feeling every moment of Mike's worries, doubts, and fears. And omg, does Mike ever have a lot of these. 

Their story is hot, with amazing chemistry, while also being cute and funny at times. Of course, the angsty moments will leave your heart hurting and grabbing for a tissue.

A lot of this story revolves around family and family expectations. But ultimately, isn't it better to risk losing one's family to be happy in love?

The writing is fantastic, as I've come to expect from these authors. The characters fully come to life, are totally lovable, and their storyline will keep you invested throughout. 

Hot Seat is a great read. I love everything about this Eli Easton and Tara Lain gem. I am loving this series and can't wait to see what comes next.

RELEASE BLITZ, EXCERPT, GIVEAWAY & REVIEW - Egotistical Puckboy (Puckboys #1) by Eden Finley & Saxon James

 

EGOTISTICAL PUCKBOY

Puckboys - Book One

by Eden Finley & Saxon James

Release Blitz

Release Date: February 10, 2022

Genre: M/M Sports Romance
Trope: Hate to love



EZRA

Partying, dudes, and hockey. What more could a gay NHL player want?

If it weren't for Anton Hayes, my life would be perfect.

Not that he affects my life in any way. At all. That would imply I care what the winger from Philly thinks of me.

Which I don't.

Not even a one-night stand with him can thaw his misplaced animosity toward me.

He says I'm the one with the ego, but he can talk. He rivals me for most egotistical puck boy in the league.

I hate him as much as he hates me. Even if I crave a repeat.



ANTON

When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game.

I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids.

My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all.

He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known.

We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens.

That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

____________________________________


My Rating - 5 Stars!

Omg! I absolutely love Egotistical Puckboy. The first book in the Puckboys series by Eden Finley and Saxon James, I was hooked from the first page. 

Everything about this book is amazing. 
The characters.
The storyline. 
The relationship.
The friendships. 

Starting off as enemies, Anton and Ezra are ruthless to one another. And once they are on the same team, watch out. 

This story is full of pranks that had me laughing out loud, sex scenes that had me swooning, and a beautiful progression from enemies to lovers.

This story leans heavily on the aspect of being openly gay in the hockey world. On a positive note, there isn't any homophobia. Instead, it's the desire to not be simply known as the gay hockey player that keeps one closeted. 

The gay support group adds an emotional layer I wasn't expecting. These men have a comaraderie unlike anything you will normally see. There's no need to worry about being afraid of accepted into this group; you just are. And the bonds they have are unbreakable. 

Ezra's issues with his family are tough to read. His father is nothing but a piece of shit. I was so happy to see Ezra find support elsewhere. 

Every scene, every chapter is fabulous. But the ending is the best. Omg, I couldn't stop laughing at the last clubhouse scene!!

Egotistical Puckboy is a must have for fans of hockey romance. This Eden Finley and Saxon James tale is an immediate re-read. I love it all! And I can't wait to see what comes next in this series. Whatever it is, it's sure to be great!!!

Strings Attached by Riley Hart

 



Amazon Link - Available in KU 
Goodreads Link






I spent college worrying about responsibilities and earning my teaching degree, so before graduation and moving to Atlanta with my best friend, Ross, I figure I deserve a little fun. I’ve never been with an older man, but the guy at the bar grabs my attention and doesn’t let go…for multiple rounds, all night long.

The next day, when Ross introduces me to his dad, the last thing I expect is for him to be my hookup from the night before, in town from Atlanta for his son’s graduation.

The best thing would be to pretend it never happened, which is easier said than done. The more I talk to Harrison, the more I like him. We enjoy teasing each other, spending time together, and despite how successful he is, we both know what it’s like to have nothing. Neither of us wants a relationship, so when Harrison suggests a no-strings-attached fling, it’s perfect.

But between bills, worrying about Mom, and wondering how I thought I had what it takes to be a good teacher, Harrison’s always there, even when it’s hard for me to accept help.

Falling for Harrison wasn’t part of the agreement.

I don’t know how to trust, there’s a seventeen-year age difference, and he’s my best friend’s dad.

No strings attached has never been so difficult, because I’m pretty sure I want to be tied to Harrison for good.





My Rating - 5 Stars!

Strings Attached is an amazing best friend's father romance. Riley Hart packs a whole lot of emotion into this sweet age gap romance. 

Harrison and Zander make for a wonderful couple. What starts as a hook-up leads to love when they discover their connection. 

Their story is one with an age gap, opposites, and a rich versus poor trope. 

Their story isn't much about the forbidden aspect of their relationship. Instead, it's about these two men and the baggage they bring into their journey. 

I love these men! Harrison is simply amazing, full of so much love for his son and Zander. He's known hard work and obstacles, yet completely overcame everything. 

But winning over Zander isn't quite so easy. Zander is closed off, full of doubts and fears, as well as a need for independence. 

The title is simply fabulous, as the whole story revolves around their friends with benefits relationship turning into so much more without ever knowing it. 

String Attached is a riveting and compelling read. Everything about this Riley Hart book had me mesmerized.

In my defense, I was left alone with a bottle of single-malt and a life-long penchant for protecting my baby sister. Still, that's no excuse to send ten drunk-texts on why her hasty marriage would be a mistake.


If only I had just texted my sister. But nope. I accidentally sent the message to her, her groom, and his super hot wingman.


I also used the phrase “super hot wingman,” so I’d like to die now.


Instead, I have to plan a wedding with the aforementioned hottie and share a too-small guesthouse in steamy Miami.


Three days in the sun with the cocky, charming former athlete who likes to push my buttons? Fine, two can play at that let’s-infuriate-each-other game.


Until Asher ups the stakes with one wildly sexy suggestion. A no-strings fling, then I go back to my single dad life in New York, and he returns to his star-studded one.


Sign me up.


But the more nights I spend with the other best man, the more I want days too, and that just can't happen. Especially when I find out the real reason why…


Contents Include: First times, a secret to-do list, champion-level flirting, fast cars, #eggplants, and two men who look good in formal wear.
