๐๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐จ๐ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ฅ by Sara Cate is back with a new generation to run the club that can be read without reading the previous series.
A lost letter, a misunderstanding, and an opportunity bring two strangers together..
Jack decided that he’s giving the family one year to reconnect and build back up their legacy… the club.
Instead of leaving Paris he must now find a nanny to help with the daily care of his four year old. When a woman appears at his doorstep he assumes she’s there for the job. What will happen when he finds out the real reason she knocked on his door.
Secrets, curiosity, desire, and temptation will unlock a world that forces Jack and Camille to face their past. In a world where trust is the difference between pain and pleasure Jack will face his past as he navigates what really matters most.

When Callum Macabe met Juniper Ross he never imagined how intertwined their lives would be.
Juniper has three rules:
1. Don’t look at a Macabe brother
2. Don’t talk to a Macabe brother
3. Don’t even think of a Macabe brother
A forbidden love with her ex’s brother is a slow burn that has a layered plot arc and plenty of secondary characters to add to the story.
Once engaged to his brother Juniper will need to sort through her feelings about Callum because all these years later…he secretly wants her. Will he give in and risk the family fall-out?
A story that centers around a family that would do anything for each other if they could get past the secrets and fear of not leaning into each other for support.
Note the content/trigger warnings. The spice is spicy with a little “tie me up tie me down” vibe
Looking forward to seeing which sibling happy ever after is next!

Book Review: ๐๐ผ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐ฒ ๐๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ (๐๐๐๐๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ #๐ด) by Kim Findlay is an off and on the ice with lots of banter and a plot arc that keeps you reading because you just have to know what happens.
๐Sheโs his Coachโs Ex
๐Sheโs a Luther-repairs guitars
๐Enemies to Lovers
๐2 POV
๐Forced Proximity
๐Beast the dog
๐Goober the cat
Daniel Rempel is hoping to extend his playing career and doesnโt care where he playsโฆas long as he plays. However, sometimes itโs important to ask questions. If not you discover that your flight is headed to Austin, the same city as your nemesis. To shake it up even more he’ll discover that his new landlord has a connection that could impact everything.
Sophie Williams is a gifted and talented luthierโฆif only her family could appreciate her skills. Will she ever feel confident enough to tell them what she’s been doing? Will they respect and support her?
Headline news in the local sports section is going to be a whopper.
New Goalie for the Austin Aces rents room from the Coach’s ex. Will he find himself in the penalty box before he laces up his skates?
A hockey romance with enemies to lovers, a cat named Goober, a dog named Beast, and a whole lot of โI want to but shouldnโtโ passion this story keeps you on your toes.
Even the most dedicated in their craft need a community to lift up and support. Will Daniel be able to pursue Sophie without his teammates knowing or will he find himself in the penalty box before he gets onto the ice?
A spicy story that has exploration 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 momentsย that leave no doubt there is a medium level of heat.

๐ 1st person / dual POV
Itโs bad enough I have to fly home for a funeral.
Not just any funeral either. My exโs funeral. Where I have to give the eulogy.
Letโs just say he was an ex for a reason, and Iโd much rather write a speech about his flaws than wax poetic about what a great person he was. But I just couldnโt bring myself to say no to his mom when she asked.
So here we are.
I just have to get through the funeral and then itโs a whole month of relaxing on the beach with my oldest friends.
But of course, nothing ever goes according to plan.
Entitled passengers, flight delays, lost luggage. Everything that could wrong went wrong. And I might have had a little too much wine and spilled my entire life story to the man in the seat next to me. The incredibly nice, incredibly sexy man sitting next to me.
Itโs a good thing Iโll likely never see him again.
Or so I thought.
The stranger who awkwardly comforts me at my exโs funeral? Airplane guy.
And Iโll give you one guess about who shows up at the beach house.
Kill. Me. Now.
This was supposed to be a relaxing vacation, but now I have to worry about how attracted I am to a man who knows entirely too much about me and only seems to catch me at my absolute worst.
Or maybe Iโll get lucky and heโll be into hot messes.
