Kaelie's Reads

Rolling 75 by Brandy Hynes La Lune Noire has a pulse. It rules apart from its owners. Backroom deals and electro swing. Extravagant parties and bootlegger tunnels. The walls have secrets. The doors have codes. Ashes and lies. White oak and screams. Champagne and delusions. Hope is the gateway to hell. Ryker The house always wins. Unless it’s concerning Mercy Phillips. My brothers and I own La Lune Noire, a resort and casino that caters to the criminal underworld. To them, we’re kings. To her, I’m the friend she left behind. Some say absence makes the heart grow fonder. For me, it bred obsession. Three years searching. One offer she can’t refuse. Countless rolls of possibilities. Cognac. Contracts. Coming home. And someone lurking in the shadows, playing us all. But the house will win again. She’s always been mine. Mercy That’s not even my name anymore. Much less who I am. Other than my precious baby boy, only shards remain of that girl. Scars from a monster. Until Ryker ...

Mile High Heat by Sarah Blue Broken-hearted and packless, I brave traveling across the country as a single Omega desperate for a fresh start. Too bad my traitorous body goes into heat mid flight.

He offers me a lifeline, one that will save me from the pain of heat sedation. He’ll not only make sure I get back home safely, but he and his pack will take care of me during my heat at a neutral location, Heat Haven. The three Alphas keep their promise, even when everything doesn’t go perfectly.

War by Brittanee Nicole I’ve never been a good bet. I wear my emotions on my tattoo-covered sleeve, I say all the wrong things and I revel in pissing off a certain redhead far more than I should. In other words, I’m the last person the court would choose to parent any child, let alone three of them. Yet being their father is all I want. So when the woman I love to hate offers to help make all my dreams come true, I jump at the chance. Marrying Ava is a convenient solution: she's my kids favorite person and the court will absolutely approve of the woman who runs the biggest charity in Boston. But there is nothing convenient about the way I feel when she fights with me, or when we kiss. And I'm not sure which I enjoy more. This marriage may have a time limit but I'm beginning to think I'd like to keep my wife. She’ll probably fight me on it, but as they say, all’s fair in love and war. My Review: My rating: 3 of 5 stars This book I love the character I'm really...

Trouble by Brittanee Nicole The first time I set foot in Fire Chief Declan Everhart’s small town he declared me trouble. Maybe it’s because I’m a pop star hiding in his house for the holiday season. Or maybe it’s the way I can’t help but tease the grinch. More than likely, though, it’s because his best friend Cade touched me right in front of him, lighting a fire so hot it threatens to incinerate us all. Now I can’t keep my hands to myself. Cade is famous for being the playboy assistant coach of the Boston Bolts, a man only out for a good time. But I know what we have is rare. Cade wants me, Declan wants me, and Declan would be a bad liar if he didn’t admit that some part of him wants Cade too. I've goneround and round about these feelings. Can we really just say the heart wants what it wants, or are we just asking for more trouble? Author's Note: Trouble is a grumpy/sunshine holiday MMF romance. My Review: My rating: 5 of 5 stars I really enjoyed this book All th...

The Pucking Wrong Rookie by C.R. Jane An NHL star could never fall for a girl like me… I never wanted this life, but the choices I made led me here—caught in a world I can't escape. Then Logan York, the Dallas Knights' rookie sensation, spots me in the crowd. When I refuse to date him, he hires me and promises I’ll fall in love with him. Arrogant. Reckless. Completely impossible. I tell myself it’s just another job, that I can keep my heart out of it. But as the lines blur and the stakes get higher, I wonder if being his is the only choice I ever really had. Logan isn’t just any man, though. He’s relentless, possessive, willing to tear apart the world to keep me close. He tells me I’m his obsession, his only priority, and I want to believe him. But the shadows of my past are always lurking, and Logan doesn’t play fair when it comes to keeping what’s his. He says he’ll save me, even if he has to destroy everything in his path. And maybe, just maybe, being his feels so wro...

Hockey Boy by Brittanee Nicole Lennox Kennedy is beautiful, loud and the love of my life. She’s also my ex-girlfriend. The first time I saw her after ten years apart, I slammed into the plexiglass minutes before our game was set to begin. The second time I threw up. But third time’s a charm apparently because as my fiancée and I walked into an appointment to meet the woman hired to plan our nuptials–there she was again. Obviously, I did what any smart man would do–I called off the wedding. I don’t have a plan per se, other than winning back the only girl I’ve ever loved. As a future hall of famer and one of the best centers hockey has ever seen, I know a thing or two about winning, but convincing Lennox Kennedy to give this hockey boy another chance might just be the challenge of a lifetime and this game I’m playing may turn out to be nothing but a pucking disaster.

Break the Rules by Julia Jarrett I have one rule: Never date a baseball player. But when I meet the sexiest single dad to ever play professional ball, that rule becomes impossible to obey. It’s not easy being a woman working in a male dominated field. Add in the fact that my uncle owns the baseball team I work for, and proving I belong here is a constant battle. Dating a player was never an option. Not if I wanted to keep a shred of dignity and respect. Then Ronan Sinclair sits down next to me in first class with his alluring blue eyes and hard-to-resist dimples. To say nothing of his kindness and charm, or his determination to convince me that a steamy vacation fling is what we both need. So, I give in to temptation, just this once. After all, he plays on the opposite side of the country, and he makes it clear he doesn’t want anything more than a few hot nights under the Hawaiian sun. We’ll leave this tropical paradise with nothing more than memories. Fate has a differen...
