It all started with a dare and might end with a proposal Renley canโt refuse.

๐Small Town

๐Forced Proximity
๐Opposites Attract

๐He Falls First
๐Mix Up Meet Cute
Heat: Scorchin’ โ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
A candy shop, a proposal, a misunderstanding, a few rules and a revised plan.
Renley Henrietta wants to run the town candy shop, a place that holds memories she wants to preserve.
Theo Williams is supposed to take over the family business but finds himself tangled up in a bit of a mixup. Itโs time for him to figure out his future and leans into the scandal. Ready for a change he crosses the pond to meet his match.
Two strangers become neighbors. Will they survive living next to each other? I dare you to make a wager on how long it takes before the dirty talk, sexual tension, and games finally bring them together and do something unexpected? What do you do when the need to take a different path jeopardizes your happiness?
The audiobook is narrated in duet by Shane East and Stella Hunter including Gary Furlong and Melissa Metcalf with over 15 hours of fun!ย 
OMG. I laughed, blushed, and laughed harder. The banter. The cast of characters. The texts brought to life are ๐๐ฅ. This is one youโll want headphone on standbyโฆtrust me!ย With just under 600 pages itโs the perfect afternoon escape.
This scorchin’ hot read exceeded my expectations and is a perfect book to kickoff the summer reading season. Happy Reading!
Always honest, always my own, and thankful to Meghan Quinn for a gifted advance e-audio book copy and e-reader copy.

To those who are Mother’s – by birth, choice, circumstance, and/or have fur babies… I hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable weekend with that special someone(s) in your life.
My husband planned an amazing weekend which included dinner with both college kids at the same time. The logistics alone while not covert meant I had time to catch up with my oldest on our drive – thankful and blessed.
Today we went to a museum and walked around spending time together. Sometimes you just have to live, laugh, and walk in the rain.
Now home and in dry comfy clothes I’m curled up enjoying homemade treats, a warm cup of coffee, and a fully charged kindle.
Thank youย @post_hill_pressย @harperstgeorgeย @avonbooksย @brendarothertย @montlake_publishersย andย @robyn_dehartย for filling my e-reader with theseย #giftedย e-arcs.

Content Warnings: Scroll down if you are a reader who wishes to know to read a note from the authorย
A M/M baseball romance layered with emotions, and exceptionally crafted character and plot arcs.
“Batter Up” for all the “feels” on and off the field in this spicy reads. You’ll find lots of chemistry, sexual tension, shenanigans, banter, angst, and the spice is ๐ฅ! Note that Lizzie has added an extra layer of sensitivity allowing her intimacy scenes to not feel sterile and informative to the reader.
Always honest, always my own, and thankful to Lizzie C. Koz for a gifted advance e-reader copy.
Note: I had the privilege of beta reading this book and enjoyed getting to know Shane and Jed from the first to last page. I’m so excited this is now available so you can enjoy this must read spicy+ hot M/M baseball romance.
