๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฒ (Love and Hockey Book 3)ย by NYT Bestselling Author Lauren Blakely can be read as a standalone. When a series has interconnected characters why would you want to read just one? From the dedication to the very last page I devoured this book. Inside you’ll find:
๐2 POV
๐ Friends to Lovers
๐ Marriage Pact
๐ Brothers Best Friend
๐ He Fell First
๐ Forced Proximity
๐ Slow Burn
๐ “My wife”
CW/TW:-anxiety rep, characters navigating through loss of someone they loved
A charity fundraiser with a trip to Vegas turns into an adventure you never expected. What will happen when Maeve and Asher realize that they canโt stop thinking about each other?ย It’s time to cast aside the fear and doubt of disappointing others or risk a lifetime alone.
If Maeve can put her own needs first, she will discover that her feelings for Asher are greater than anything she ever imagined. Will she push the chance at love aside because of a promise she made to her mother?
If you are looking for a friends to lovers trope with characters that are fun and ready to explore all the things they have been thinking you might want to give this a read.

There are multiple intimacy scenes, some may be โextra spicyโ and/or graphic. Some scenes might include a dash of โtie-me-up-tie-me-downโ play such as light bondage or sex toys as characters explore their curiosities and desires.
Thank you Lauren Blakely for the advance reader copy for an honest and fair review. All opinions are my own.

Rafferty by Sawyer Bennett is the fifteenth installment in the Pittsburgh Titans series. While each book can be read as a standalone I challenge you to try and just read one.
Rafferty Abrams is the newest Titan in town. One decision will threaten to ruin his future unless he can find a way to stop the madness sooner than later.
Tempe Martin has returned home from college to help her family. What will happen when a stranger walks up to her at work and asks for a favor? Will she go along with his request?
I love this series and each book gets better and better. If you are looking for a spicy hockey romance read with off and on the ice action, plenty of interconnected characters that leave readers satisfied for days, and audio narrators that leave me craving more books to listen to.
The audiobook is narrated by Aaron Shedlockย @aaronshedlockย and Mackenzie Cartwrightย @xoxomackenziec and they are fantastic! If you enjoy listening while multitasking…consider headphones for Chapters 11, 14, 19, and 24 – ๐ฅ!
This spicy read has exploration that is more explicit between characters that may include dirty talk, detailed intimate moments, or suggested desire of what they would like to do with their partner. This moment might also be expressed before, during, or after intimacy, spicy e-mails, letters, or texting. Readers can expect multiple detailed scenes or moments that leave no doubt there is a medium level of heat.
I am so excited for the the next Titans book. Thank you Sawyer Bennett for the advance reader and audio copy for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

I have been a fan of Sara’s the moment I discovered her How To Date A Douchebag Series. The extra special touches tucked inside this package were amazing and it arrived perfectly wrapped! The personal note and autographed book along with the fake mustache (IYKYK) and mini fan hand was a welcomed surprise.

๐ He Falls First
๐ Football Romance
๐ Small Town Girl
๐ Hidden Identity
๐ Opposites Attract
๐ New York City
Not Your Biggest Fan by Sara Ney is a Spicy sports romance series with off-and-on-the-field football fun, super spicy texts, banter, and shenanigans.
Landon “Andy” Burke takes a moment to enjoy Central Park in NYC while in town for business. When he stops for a quick bite at a local vendor Harlow James offers some unsolicited advice.
to the stranger ahead of her in line.
A hilarious and adorable meet-cute that kicks off a super spicy strangers to lovers sports romance. Filled with family meddling, tabloid fodder, and plenty of laugh-out-loud banter.
Andy’s never met a woman like Harlow and is enjoying the simplicity of their connection. What will happen when Harlow discovers the truth? Will she be able to trust Andy? Will they survive the tabloids?
I really enjoyed ALL the characters including their families and Kevin the dog. I can’t wait to read the next book in this standalone (and hopefully interconnected) series!
Sara Ney delivers another must read and if you haven’t checked out her backlist head over to kindle unlimited for hours and hours of fun!
