Some Kind of Blunderful @livyhartromance is a deliciously refreshing sexy #romcom with loveable characters, a plot that kept me turning pages until I realized there were no more to turn. The disappointment that it was over…I need more!
Mia Madden is a pre-school teacher with a crafty, frugal vibe who puts her family first. Despite her best efforts of avoiding a blind date that didnโt exactly start and end well, the universe has different plans.
What will happen when Mia realizes that Alex is her dadโs boss? Will they be balance work and pleasure? Itโs time for Mia And Alex to figure out what matters most? The shenanigans and games are non-stop because you canโt win unless you play. Oh, and the rules, some are meant to be bent a wee bit while others, are sometimes meant to be broken ๐
If Mia and Alex can overcome expectations, clear up a few assumptions, and take a leap of faith they will realize the past doesnโt define you. When you find your โtrue north,โ that person who will be there because of who you are, appreciates all of you that is when you know you have found a forever love. Not only is this a story about Mia and Alex but the secondary characters are just as compelling and bring an extra layer of yum to the plot.
This has …
๐ enemies to lovers
๐ โhe falls first” with a heavy dose of โshe fell but needs to put herself firstโ
๐ Lots of games ๐
๐ A Dating App
๐ Banter for days
๐ Slow burn that Scorches

The Opponent by Brenda Rothert is a sports romance that has:
๐ Hero is a H-O-T Hockey Player
๐ Heroine is a Newspaper Opinion Writer
๐ Scorchin Chemistry
๐ Masquerade Ball
๐ Enemies to Lovers
๐ Snarky Banter
๐ Caveman appetite
From the moment we meet Elle and Ford I was hooked. Readers, the couch scene has just enough tension to spark a wildfire. The discovery of their identities is priceless, because once Elle and Ford discover what they each do for a living … the heat only intensifies.
Elle has been chasing public opinions and assumptions of her family her entire life. Is it really that different for professional athletes? Will her family still support her when they discover the secret she’s been keeping?
Ford Bennett is the new team Captain brought in to help the Colorado Coyotes navigate through their loss and rebuilding.
As a local opinion writer for the city newspaper itโs no secret who Elle is, and her opinion of hockey. What will happen when Ford processes how deep her aversion to the sport reaches? Will he be able to stay away, or will his attraction to her intensify?
While this is the second installment in the Colorado Coyotes series it can be read as a standalone. If you find yourself craving more from these hunky guys one-click The Donor (Book 1) and discover how it all began. I can’t wait to share my thoughts on that soon.
This book is scorchin hot! Caution, may lead to unexpected needย to turn on the A/C.ย So steamy the pages ignite. May include a dash of Erotic elements or elude to further exploration of desire and need.
If you enjoy Sawyer Bennett and Kate Meader, be sure to check out this series as well as Brenda’s other hockey books in her backlist. I hope one day we can have a novella with Elle’s brother … I’d love to have more of his story!ย Thank you Brenda Rothert for the advance reader copy for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
If you enjoy hockey romance, exciting plots with dirty talk, banter, hilarious laugh-out-loud scenes, and layers of sinfully sweet scorchin heat … one-clickย

Anger Bang by USA Today Bestselling Author Avery Flynn is a story with loveable characters that are awesome, and a few you will love to hate! It’s time to book your next adventure and head to Colter’s Hell, Wyoming along the Stinkingwater River for a wedding where shenanigans will ensue, laughter will be endless, and love might be on the horizon.
A contemporary read with a fling to lovers, opposites attract, revenge sex, and the heat … it’s a scorcher ๐ย Oh, let’s not forget the wit, snark, charm, and a ton of fun. The title alone will have you reading page after page until the very end … are you ready?
Thea Pope is a paleontologist who would rather be around bones than a bunch of boneheads at a wedding, even if most of them are family. What happens when her sister, the Bridezilla gives an all-access pass for the wedding to be recorded. Every minute from the day guests arrive until the moment they depart Thea will have to go with the flow, but what will happen when she’s tapped out and done.? How how long can “fine” really be just f-i-n-e? When Thea embraces a plan and decides to do the one thing that would push your sister over the edge, will she finally find the courage to embrace her true self?
Kade St. James doesnโt believe in love but one weekend at his brothers wedding might change his outlook. Spending years of research for his job shouldโve prepared him for the unexpected. What will he do when Thea makes him an offer that is accidentally captured for the entire world to see? Will he be able to trust his heart and make peace with the past?
From the 80’s nostalgia woven page after page this story is a great trip down memory lane. So, go grab your posters, leg warmers, parachute pants and get ready for a weekend you’ll never forget. If you are headed to a place where the river smells like sulfur for a wedding of the century youโll need to play hard, get dirty, and be willing to take a chance on the unexpected. ย When your outlook on love, marriage, and family is about to be turned upside down, will you find the strength to not let the past define your future?
While this starts as an anger bang, it becomes so much more. If you thought you could attend a wedding with cameras recording every moment and not be โseenโ you are in for a wild weekend! A suitcase of emotional baggage could ruin love and happiness for anyone. Thea and Kade will need to figure out what they really want and hope that they can finally confront their family and face their past. If you’re ready for uncontrollable laughter, lots of Pepto-bismol Pink, the possibility of revenge sex with lots of orgasms all while avoiding those pesky reality tv cameras planted everywhere it’s time to go grab your best 80’s fashions and get ready to party! The only thing missing is the music so grab those boxes from your garage and rediscover those mix tapes.
Caution this scorchin hot read may lead to an unexpected need to turn on the A/C. So steamy the pages may ignite. May include a dash of erotic elements or elude to further exploration of desire and need that might be too hot for some readers.
