The Midseason Fakeout by E.M. Moore The star quarterback of the Bulldogs was supposed to be my ticket to a normal life, but now I’ve fallen for him…again. He’s my brother’s best friend. The perfect person to fake a relationship with. No feelings involved. Just pretend. He helps me. I help him. We both agreed. Except, things get real…and quick. It turns out my brother’s best friend just can’t help being his charming self, and even though I haven’t seen him in years, he has me shivering in his arms in no time. The worst part? This was all my idea. …and I know there’s no way a guy like that could fall for a girl like me. Or could he? The Midseason Fakeout is a spicy brother's best friend fake romance! My Review: My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is a really good book. I really love the couple, and I especially love that this book can be read as a standalone along with all the other books in the series. I believe because I did not start with book one, I started with this book. Which ...

Power Play by Christina Sterling Starting fresh was supposed to be simple. New job. New city. No drama. But the second I walk into the Titans’ locker room, my past collides with my present. Ben—the boy I loved and lost—is now the man staring at me like I’m still his. Coach Ward—the gruff, intimidating silver fox—looks at me like he can see every secret I’ve ever tried to bury. And Jonesy—the cocky forward with a smirk that drives me crazy—seems determined to push me until I break. We’re coworkers. We’re supposed to be professional. But every heated look, every forbidden touch, every “this can’t happen” moment pulls me deeper into their world. Three men, three different kinds of temptation. One toxic twin sister determined to sabotage me. And a secret that could change all of our lives forever. Power Play  is a dark, emotional why-choose hockey romance filled with off-limits chemistry, found family, and a guaranteed happily ever after. Why Choose, Reverse Harem, Hockey...

Power by Kathy Lockheart I wrote a revenge list about my boss and accidentally handed it to my new CEO. Then I accidentally slept with that billionaire CEO . You'd think things couldn't get any worse, but spoiler they absolutely did. Let me explain. That revenge list was supposed to be private—the kind you write after three margaritas and burn in the morning. And that wild weekend with a gorgeous stranger? Definitely wasn't on my to-do list. (Though maybe it should've been, because... wow.) Watching him stride onto our company stage as the new CEO Monday morning wasn't part of the plan either. Now I'm trapped in the world's most dangerous forbidden workplace romance, where every heated glance reminds me of what those hands can do. And Jace (Mr. CEO) won't stop until he exposes the truth—unaware that his best friend is the one behind my list, and a man hiding secrets that could bring down an empire. The question isn't whether this will b...

Crash by Kathy Lockheart Code blue in the ER. That's how I end up in his hospital. In my brother's best friend's care. Dr. Blake Morrison is the star of every fantasy I've had since I was sixteen. Now he's the only one who believes something is truly wrong with me. The only one who can save me. But with each passing day, each failed diagnosis, I see him changing. The brilliant, controlled  doctor  is becoming something else. Something darker.  More possessive. "These symptoms aren't random," he growls. “I think someone's hurting you deliberately. And when I find them..." His fingers clench. "They'll learn exactly how much damage a surgeon can do." His touch sets my heart monitor racing, and what's growing between us is more dangerous than any symptom. More forbidden than any diagnosis. But as my mysterious illness worsens and time slips away like sand through an Will the man who's saved countless lives lose ...

Nanny for the Hockey Players by Christina Sterling When the Captain of The Titans bursts into my work and shouts at me "I need you" I think all of my dreams have come true. What I don't expect is the baby he's holding. Now, the Captain, our star goalie and the best defenseman in the league are my new roomies and I'm their live-in nanny. Carter is the Captain, easy-going, boy-next-door and all American good-guy. Gabe is the goalie - the gorgeous, brooding loner. And Luca is the handsome playboy grinder. Now, somehow, we all have to figure out how to live together and give Carter's surprise daughter the loving home she deserves. And resist our growing attraction. Because I shouldn't get involved with one hockey player, let alone three. Right? Hat Trick is a Why Choose, Spicy, Hocky and Nanny Romance, Reverse Harem, Multiple POV, Happily Ever After guaranteed. My Review: My rating: 5 of 5 stars I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to see what ...
