Now I’m juggling a separation I never wanted, the pressure of being a single dad to our teenage daughter, and the career I sacrificed it all for.   While my game on the ice might be on fire, the game in my personal life i s clearly lacking, as evidenced by the fact I just saw my wife on a date with another man. If I have any hope of saving the family I love, I need to re - prioritize, and fast. So it’s time for me to get back to fundamentals, just like I did when I learned ho w to pla...

 " Life doesn’t exactly give us what we need when it’s the perfect time. It’s not a pitching machine straight over the plate. Life throws curve balls—hard and fast, unpredictable. But you still have to hit that sucker or strike out swinging.” ~  Revelry   by  Kandi Steiner

  Code Name: Rook  (Jameson Force Security, Book #6)  Sawyer Bennett  Release Date: October 27, 2020     Synopsis:     Being a highly skilled operative for a company like Jameson Force Security is exhilarating and important work…until it comes time to date. I like to keep my profession under wraps for a number of reasons. Some of what we do is top secret, most of what we do is dangerous, and more than one woman has tried to latch onto me because she was more enamored with what I do than who Cage Murdock really is. And since I’m more of a ‘here for the night’ than a ‘here for forever’ kind of guy, what’s the harm in a little white lie about my job? My harmless deceit has never failed me. Until now. Because I met the most amazing woman and did the unthinkable. I married her. And now my beautiful, unsuspecting, probably-going-to-leave-mysorry-behind-when-she-finds-out-the-truth wife doesn’t know that I’m not a used car salesman like I tol...

This book can be read as a standalone.  For reader enjoyment, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading the series in the order intended.   Alexis wants Mason and she has made no secret of it.  Her uncontrollable attraction appears one sided, but he shows her repeatedly with though and deed that is not so.  Only they have to dodge attempts on their lives and search for treasure while keeping themselves apart.   Mason has no idea what to do with Alex.  One minute she is the smartest, most beautiful woman he has ever known, and the next she is the most cunning sexpot alluring him with her honest mouth.  Can they survive it all?   The pace of this book moves very fast as there is much inside.  Lots of surprises for the reader, as well as a burning heat between the main characters that may move the reader to need a fan.  The gang is all here in this one, and the new installment is satisfying, if not...

Everly AKA "Daisy" has lived the life of a workaholic.  Forced to take time off work, she travels and meets the most unexpected man.  When disaster strikes, is it more than her heart at risk?   Asher has traveled the world.  Mostly a loner, he finds he does well in his isolated lifestyle.  Meeting the most important woman never even entered his thoughts.  Now that he has, he has no idea what to do about it.   The mot unlikely couples tend to be the very best ones, in my opinion.  This story was very much that in so many ways.  Always a favorite one click author for me, this holiday jaunt into the pages was an unexpectedly slow burn of epic proportions.  The characters were fun and had depth, if you get past the belittling characters in the front of the book.  Worth the read however, as it hits the HEA jackpot before it ends.  I give this a 3/5 Kitty's Paws UP!     ***This early copy was given in exchange for an honest...

♦ ♦ ♦ Title: About Tomorrow... Author : Abbi Glines Genre: New Adult Romance Release Day: December 14, 2020 Cover Designer: Damonza ♦ ♦ ♦ About Tomorrow... I close my eyes as I hear him speak. I take one very long and deep breath hoping to calm the immediate butterflies that take flight in my stomach and hope to slow down the racing of my heart. The voice was slightly deeper but the timbre was one that was achingly familiar. My actions did little to help, but then who was I kidding? A deep breath wasn't going to fix the effect he had on me and my body's inevitable reaction. Even the memories that would forever haunt me couldn't keep my emotions from triggering at the nearness of him once again. I used to pray that I'd find the strength to move on from him, from the pain that the end carried, from the emptiness in my chest, but ultimately move on from—the loss of Creed Sullivan and the death of his sister, Cora. The Sullivans had bee...
