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.

Bro big or bro home.

Robbie

As social chair of Sigma Beta Psi, I’m the life of the party. It’s what I’m known for, and if it’s not fun, I’m not interested, simple as that.
I’m not someone who overthinks.
So when one of my brothers hooks up with a dude from another frat house, it catches me off guard when I can’t stop thinking about them … together.
There’s only one way for me to get this obsession out of my head and that’s by jumping in with both feet and putting it into practice.
The problem is, the one guy who’s up for the ride, is the last one I’d expect.


Brandon

Being risk manager of a frat house is nobody’s idea of a good time. My brothers get annoyed when I put a damper on their plans, and wrangling drunken frat brothers isn’t how I pictured my Saturday nights of senior year.
I’m bored.
In a rut.
Study, frat duties, planning for the future.
When is it my turn to let loose for a moment?
So when my dumb-as-bricks frat bro is scoping out the house for a little experimenting fun, I throw out the offer like it isn’t the most nerve-wracking thing I’ve ever considered.
I never imagined I’d actually enjoy it.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Frats Wars is the first book in the Frat Wars series. I absolutely love every moment of this Saxon James book. 

Chad and Bailey's story is a fun and light bisexual awakening romance. It includes two college students, plenty of pranks, and lots of romance. 

Written in alternating first person pov, the characters fully come alive. And I love it all. The characters are fabulous, both charming and adorable. And the writing style makes everything flow wonderfully. 

Frats Wars is a must read for anyone looking for a sweet and funny new adult romance. I can't wait to see what comes next in this series, and for now, this one is a definite for my re-read list.

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.

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.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

The Best Men is a hot and sexy read by Sarina Bowen and Lauren Blakely. I love these authors so I was anxiously awaiting this one. The first book in The Best Men series, it's everything I could have asked for. 

The premise is simple. Two best men for a wedding finding love through time spent together. Simple, yes. But ahhh, it's so wonderful and I love these men.

 

Mark's never been with a man before, as he lost his chance to explore his bi side when he knocked up his girlfriend. Now divorced, he's unable to resist getting to know his fellow best men, Asher.

 

This is a story with hot first times, sexy flirting, and some drunk texts that had me laughing out loud. This is seriously some awesome humor, especially the whole new meaning to spreadsheets and lists.

   

Both men are fabulously multi-layered and bring out the best in each other. 

The Best Men is a riveting romance. I highly suggest this steamy romance. Hell, you can't go wrong with a collab by Sarina Bowen and Lauren Blakely! I can't wait to see what comes next in this series!

The Other Brother by Jax Calder

 

Amazon Link - Available in KU 
Goodreads Link

What happens when you fall for the one person you can't have?

Ryan has had seventeen years of being compared to Cody, part of his toxic fractured family, so you’ll forgive him for some epic eye-rolling when it comes to Mr Perfect. Although not related to him by blood, Cody has always been annoying background noise in Ryan’s life. It doesn’t help that Cody’s a high achieving musician, while Ryan’s life ambition doesn’t extend past catching the next wave.

One summer changes everything. It’s the summer when circumstances collide, and Cody and Ryan end up spending time together at Cody’s family’s beach house. It’s the summer Ryan teaches Cody to surf and Cody teaches Ryan to play guitar. It’s the summer when they become friends.

And then more than friends.

But when summer ends, Cody and Ryan are forced back to reality, where they must hide their relationship from their warring family members. And as tragedy strikes and family secrets buried deep in the past worm their way to the surface, their relationship is threatened. Can their feelings, which began in the summer sun, survive the winter ahead?

My Rating - 5 Stars!

The Other Brother is a fabulous romance by Jax Calder. I love every single moment of this friends to lovers book. 

This book is truly awesome. The set-up is great, as Cody and Ryan aren't related, but they share the same half sisters, as Ryan's mother and Cody's father used to be married. But they aren't related, even if it means things are a little bit awkward. 

I love that the two young men grew up barely seeing one another, until they are together at college. It perfectly sets up a situation that seems completely realistic and intriguing. There's also a history between the two and their sisters that cause a lot of animosity and doubts. 

The friendship that the two develop is wonderful. It develops naturally and the bond is easily established. I was definitely rooting for these two throughout.

This is a story with some beach scenes, surfing, and a slow burn. It's a story between complete opposites who have a complicated history and a shared proximity. 

Adding to the storyline is the extreme tension between the ex spouses and their families. Everyone knows the exes can't be in the same room together, but it isn't known why until the end. And I appreciate the way this all is revealed. 

The writing is well done, with the author's writing style immediately pulling me into the storyline. The characters are well developed and the pace is perfect. I am quickly falling in love with this author's writing. 

The Other Brother is a riveting new adult romance. I highly recommend this story for the next time you're in the mood for a sweet college romance. I couldn't read this one fast enough and am definitely adding it to my re-read list.
