Content/Trigger Warnings: If you are a reader who wishes to know please see the note from the author at the end of this post.ย
Electric Oh! is getting back together to perform. Will their reunion be filled with drama, or provide new headlines for the tabloids?
After all these years can they still create that “magic” on stage and connect with fans?
Micah and John were once the best of friends and crafted unforgettable music with powerful when lyrics filled with passion, chemistry and raw feelings.
When the foundation in a relationship fractures it takes time repair and a lot of work to rebuild the splintered layers. If Micah and John can learn to trust again, be honest with themselves and each other about what really happenedโฆtheyโll discover an unexpected gift. A love far greater than either imagined. That is if they can survive a few days at sea.
There is plenty of rock-n-roll behind the scenes drama witty banter. Lots of flirty chemistry and great world building with characters that stay with you after you finish the book because their friendships are tested through unexpected challenges and obstacles making this a great read for your summer book adventures!
A scorchin hot read with multiple intimacy scenes, some may be โextra spicyโ and/or graphic. Thank you Berkley Romance and Berkley Publishing for the advance reader copy for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

Book Quote Tease…
I was here to tell a story, not drool over the six-foot-two slab of hockey-playing perfection.ย
A six-foot-two slab of perfection who wanted me to disappear as much as he wanted to touch me.
What you will find….
๐ Brooding Captain
๐ค Blacklisted filmmaker
๐ Hidden career-ending injury
๐ค Strong and ambitious FMC
๐ Quiet stoic captain with a hidden vulnerable side
๐ค Enemies to Lovers
Is Captain Jack Vignier the warrior that everyone thinks he is?
What will happen when Lily Sutton discovers a secret that could destroy the star hockey player? Will ruin his career to further her own?
In order to deliver the content she’ll need to obtain a level of trust but when she realizes that there is much more at stake what will she do?
If you love an off and on the ice hockey romance this has plenty of banter, lots of chemistry, tension, and excitement this has that and more.
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.ย Readers can expect multiple detailed scenes or momentsย that leave no doubt there is a medium level of heat.
I received an advance reader copy from the author for an honest and fair review. All thoughts and opinions are my own..

๐ช๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ by Samantha Chase has…
โค๏ธ Small Town Romance
๐ฅ Hidden Identity
โค๏ธ Long-Distance Relationship
๐ฅ Golden Retriever Hero
โค๏ธ Sassy Heroine
๐ฅ Opposites Attract
โค๏ธ Close Proximity
๐ฅ It started with a dare
โค๏ธ Meddling Family
A kissing booth obsession, three years of mystery, and a few kisses they can’t stop thinking about. In a small town everyone knows everyone and yet somehow Sloan Donovan and Will Campbell have kept the ruse going. How much longer will they continue this? When Will discovers how deep his dream woman is connected to the town of Sweetbriar Ridge he will need to be confident in their connection…or he just might loose her.ย
A fear of commitment, meddling family, long distance, and an excuse that makes no sense leaves only one thing that could change everything. Will one kiss be enough to recognize a love connection worth fighting for? Is it enough to change everything for true feelings to be revealed?ย
Sometimes it takes a little nudge towards what you desire. It’s a good thing you have plenty of family and friends to make sure you don’t let this opportunity slip away again but will they sabotage it before it’s had time to blossom?
Note that while this has interconnected characters and is part of a series it is perfect as a standalone read. This sinfully sweet book is set in a town that feels like home and has a slow burn that makes this one to savor anytime you want. Thank you Samantha Chase for the advance reader copy for an honest and fair review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

๐ ๐๐ก๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐ฐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฆ๐ by Stephanie Rose is perfect now that we are in baseball season and this standalone has:ย
โพ 2 POV
โพ Cinnamon Roll Hero
โพ Romance Writer w/ a day job
โพ Forbidden Romance
โพ Forced Proximity
โพ He Falls First
โพ Single Mom (she takes care of her younger sister)
โพ MLB Manager
Silas Jones is relocating to a new city for work. When a chance encounter becomes one HOT night. When he can’t stop thinking about her and fate reconnects them it’s not exactly the way he imagined.
Rachel Manning barely has enough free time between work, writing, and taking care of her younger sister. What will happen when she discovers that her PR firm was hired by the baseball team and her one night “Mr. Can’t Stop thinking about” is now the center of her PR firms new project?
If only her company didn’t have a VERY strict no fraternization rule. Would she consider risking it all for another night?
Readers this story has it all from baseball off and on the field, steamy tension, banter, great characters, and a few secrets. If you are looking a new spin where the hero is the General Manger this is your chance. I can think of a few baseball GM’s who could’ve been the inspiration for our beloved hero.
For those who have kindle unlimited…it’s in there so go…grab a copy and let me know what you think.
This spicy sports romance series has off-and-on-the-baseball field fun, super spicy banter, shenanigans, and so much more
Thank you to Hambright PR for an advance reader copy and surprise book mail with an autographed paper copy for an honest and fair review.

North by Sawyer Bennett (The PIttsburgh Titans Book 16) ๐Hockey playoffs are HERE!! What better way to get ready for the action than with a new HOCKEY ROMANCE?
Why should you read this book?
๐ฅ Teammate’s little sister
โค๏ธFriends with benefits
๐ฅ He falls first
โค๏ธBlack Cat/ Golden Retriever Vibes
๐ฅ Professional hockey player
Farren Abrams is just looking for a good time. Will she confess to her brother the real reason she’s in town?
North Paquette can’t stop thinking about the one woman he shouldn’t want but would do anything for. Will he risk everything and confess how he really feels?
It will take a leap of faith to find the strength to trust.
Once again, another great read from Sawyer Bennett in her world of hockey. While this is the sixteenth book in the series each and every one can be read as a standalone. However, with all the interconnected characters each one is not to be missed!
For those who love audio books…North is narrated by Stephen Dexter & Savannah Peachwood. They are perfectly cast and I enjoyed listening to the story.
This spicy romance 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.ย Readers can expect multiple detailed scenes or momentsย that leave no doubt there is a medium level of heat with off-and-on-the-ice hockey fun.
Thank you Sawyer Bennett for the advance reader copy for an honest and fair review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I can’t wait to read the next installment…I’ve been waiting for Penn’s story and it looks to be so…soo…good!
